In name only: The land of Handong, I shall rule its fate.

"Director Han, the eyewitness has been found."

A provincial official knocked on the office door and quickly reported to the leader, "There are three eyewitnesses. Two of them saw Captain Wang Ping'an enter a commercial building at around 9:21 a.m., and the other saw him making a phone call in the stairwell."

"But I didn't hear what was said on the phone."

"According to witness testimony."

"It seems that a violent conflict broke out between the two sides. The argument was very heated, and the call lasted about one and a half minutes."

The cadre handed over the signed records of the three eyewitnesses, but hesitated slightly. Han Shiwei glanced at him and said, "Anything else you want to say? Get straight to the point."

"We've checked Captain Wang's phone, and there were no dialing records from that time. The telecommunications company also couldn't find anything. It's likely that he used an anonymous SIM card."

The official added.

"I see."

Han Shiwei showed no surprise. "Tell Comrade Ping An that I will go and talk to him in five minutes."

"OK."

The official turned and left.

Han Shiwei hesitated for a moment, then sorted out a stack of documents and put them into a separate folder.

"Comrade Ping An."

Han Shiwei sat down opposite him. Wang Ping'an forced a tired and bitter smile. In just two days, he looked like he had aged more than ten years, with gray hairs appearing at his temples. "Is there anything you want to say to me?"

"You guys should have found out by now, right?"

Wang Ping'an buried his head in his hands in anguish, sobbing softly and suppressedly, "Liu San, his father, his wife and children, and all those innocent victims, it's all my fault, it's all my fault."

"If I hadn't transferred the medical expenses without authorization, and if I hadn't used Li Ting's name because I was afraid of upsetting the old man, he would never have been able to trick Liu San into acting as guarantor under the guise of medical assistance. If Liu San hadn't been deceived, the subsequent tragedy wouldn't have happened."

"It's me!"

"It's all my fault."

Wang Ping'an clenched his fists tightly, pounding the table with each punch. "So I've been looking for Li Tingna's whereabouts, but I'm afraid and don't dare to confess my actions, which has prevented Li Tingna, the culprit, from being brought to justice in time."

"And then someone died."

"They shouldn't have died; it's my fault."

Han Shiwei listened quietly, offering no comfort to the distraught middle-aged man. Only after the crying subsided and his emotions stabilized did he say, "Li Xuemin is your father, isn't he? Your biological father!"

"right."

Wang Ping'an nodded. "That day, I was accompanying my family to the hospital for a full-body checkup when I ran into them by chance. At first glance, I felt that Grandpa Li looked somewhat similar to me."

I didn't think much about it at the time.

"After paying the medical bills, I would often visit the hospital to take care of Li Tingna as a friend. The more I looked at him, the more he resembled Li Tingna. I asked him for more information and was surprised to find that we were the same age."

"So I secretly had a DNA test done, and Mr. Li is indeed my father."

"But I am his son, and who is Li Tingna? In order to find out, I actually followed him and collected hair samples, and the test results showed that he was indeed not him."

"I checked the birth information that Li Ting had, but there was very little information. All I knew was that on the day of the birth, there was another couple, but their child was lost."

"That happened forty-eight years ago. The data was severely lost, and I was unable to find them."

"The only thing we can be sure of is that someone switched Li Ting's and my bags and then threw them away."

"Later, my biological father's condition worsened, and then Liu Sanjia had an accident. His father was scared to death, so I dared not tell anyone."

"but…"

"My wife must have noticed. She's said more than once that we look alike. How could a biological father and son not look alike?"

"She must have told you, right?"

Wang Ping'an rambled on and on, his eyes vacant.

"no!"

Han Shiwei shook his head, guessing purely from age and unusual behavior, but he didn't say it aloud. Instead, his tone suddenly sharpened as he asked, "Your biological father was abandoned, his property was stolen, and several murders are still fresh in your mind, so you orchestrated the car accident to murder Li Tingna?"

"I don't."

Wang Ping'an was startled and stood up, but sat back down under the cold gaze, his head pressed tightly against the other's chest, not daring to meet his eyes.

"Who are you talking to on the phone in the stairwell of this commercial building?"

Han Shiwei continued to ask.

"I have no idea."

Wang Pingan shook his head.

"Don't know? Or do you just not want to say?"

A hint of disappointment flashed in Han Shiwei's eyes. "I checked the information from that day. Your home address and the location where you carried out the mission were not near the place where you bumped into Li Tingna. In fact, you had official business to attend to that day, but you didn't ask for leave or give any explanation before showing up there."

"besides…"

"We compared the actual distance with the surveillance footage, and the distance between you and Li Tingna was not ten steps, but more than twenty meters."

"It's not that you're bad at recognizing disguises, it's that you're too good at it."

"From a distance of 20 meters, we accurately located Li Tingna, who was disguised by wearing a mask and hat in the morning rush hour crowd."

"So precise..."

"It's like someone gave you information that Li Tingna will definitely appear."

"It must have been the person you spoke to on the phone who told you, right?"

Wang Ping'an trembled, but he still clenched his teeth and didn't say a word.

"We really can't find that person for the anonymous phone card."

Han Shiwei's voice was low and somber, "But that doesn't mean we can't find out. You underestimate the capabilities of the provincial department comrades, and you also underestimate the provincial party committee's plans."

"It's not just the provincial government that comes to mourn the state."

Wang Ping'an began to tremble all over, the trembling becoming more and more violent and uncontrollable.

Han Shiwei pushed a piece of paper over; the paper only had a logo on it.

Ling Chamber of Commerce!

Looking at the logo on the paper, Wang Ping'an deflated and uttered three words softly.

"I have no idea what they're up to!"

Wang Ping'an looked up again and said, "They suddenly approached me, saying they could provide me with clues about Li Tingna. That's what I went there with those clues that day."

"But I didn't expect Li Tingna to be so alert. I only glanced at him, and he noticed."

"There were too many pedestrians on the street at that time."

"I chased him for a very long time, but he still ran away. I was unwilling to give up, so I took the anonymous card they gave me and made a call, wanting to know where he was staying or his new address."

"But that person suddenly told me..."

"I don't need to chase him anymore; he'll take care of things completely for me." I realized something was wrong and questioned him about his intentions.

"result…"

"He knows everything he has done to me."

"I'm scared..."

"I knew that if you try to negotiate with a tiger, the tiger will turn on you. But he didn't say anything and just ended the call."

"You all know what happened next."

"I reported it to the Feng Bureau, and not long after, the traffic police issued a report about the car accident."

Wang Ping'an pounded his head in anguish.

But Han Shiwei still didn't stop him. "Is that all? There must be more?"
