The case gradually became clearer. Jiang Zhizhong was called in for questioning just to cooperate with the investigation. After all, the Jiang family had a lot of contact with Jin Zijian. In addition to Jiang Zhizhong, a dozen other veteran cadres were also investigated.
Even Jiang Hao received the notice.
"Uncle Chen, you'd better call me by my name, I'm not used to it."
"Haha, I also think it's easier to call you Ah Hao. Considering that you are on vacation, I didn't look for you. I originally asked you to go with your dad."
"Then shall I go now?"
Director Chen shook his head, "You have just come back, so don't be in such a hurry. Go to the police station tomorrow and go through the process and make a record. You can also find out more by the way. Many things will surprise you."
Jiang Hao said truthfully: "Chief Jin is my mentor. I am heartbroken when something like this happens to him. However, one thing comes to another. Even if he made a serious mistake, he is still my mentor."
Director Chen nodded and comforted: "Hey, I'm very heartbroken too. He's also my comrade-in-arms. He has admitted everything. This case involves a wide range of things. The police have set up a task force to specifically target people on Pan Sophie's roster.
I think they will find a lot of rat droppings when they investigate. By the way, Officer Ma said you discovered Pan Sophie’s hiding place?”
"This was just a coincidence. After contacting Officer Ma, I found out that the person was Sophie Pan. Officer Ma was busy with everything after that. I didn't care about these things during my vacation."
Director Chen patted him on the shoulder and said solemnly: "The sacrifice you have made for society is really admirable. It is not easy for your wife. Talk to her carefully and hope she can understand you."
"Well, I'm sorry for her."
"When Jin Zijian gave you this order, didn't you think about the consequences?"
Jiang Hao frowned, a little confused as to why Director Chen would ask this. He said, "I refused, but Chief Jin issued a death order. I was helpless."
Jiang Zhizhong on the side suddenly slapped his thigh, and he suddenly realized, "Okay, Jin Zijian asked Ah Hao to focus on the drug trafficking case to divert attention. His purpose was to give his lover time to escape. Hey, it's me.
Confused, I believe him too much."
Rewinding the time to four years ago, Jin Zijian asked Jiang Hao to investigate the drug trafficking case from Xiao Tianai. Jiang Hao did not accept it at first. Jin Zijian approached Qiao Xinwei and Jiang Zhizhong to persuade him in every possible way.
Because Jin Zijian knew that Jiang Zhizhong's opinions were very influential to Jiang Hao. If he couldn't convince Jiang Hao, he would first convince Jiang Zhizhong and let Jiang Zhizhong help him convince Jiang Hao.
Thinking about that period, it was the time when the capital was cracking down on pornography. It was impossible for Jin Zijian to shoot himself in the foot, so he concentrated his main forces on the drug trafficking case.
The drug trafficking case was investigated for several years, which was enough time for the Pan Sophie gang to escape and take a breather.
Jiang Hao's heart was bleeding. This kind of blow was no less harmful to him than the loss of his family. It was a kind of destruction of faith. The mentor he had believed in for so many years, the superior he had obeyed for so many years, actually fooled him.
.
Director Chen was relatively objective. Seeing Mr. Jiang and Jiang Hao being so angry, he persuaded him nicely: "Don't think like that. The drug trafficking case also needs to be investigated. I can only say that Ahao is right to execute the military order. This
There was nothing wrong with the matter itself, but the fault was that Jin Zijian had selfish motives, and no one knew about his selfish motives at the time."
After saying so much, the tea had gone cold. Lin Caiyin couldn't sort out her thoughts. Her mind was full of doubts. She was only nervous about one thing. She asked: "Director Chen, what?? Ah Hao will go to the police station tomorrow. Is everything okay?
?”
Director Chen said confidently: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, I told you everything is fine. Why don't you believe it? After all, Ahao has been with Jin Zijian for so many years. There are several overlapping tasks that only Ahao knows about. It's just a routine inquiry.
, it’s okay, just relax.”
Lin Caiyin felt relieved and said, "Since Director Chen is sure of it, I can rest assured and let's stay for a meal tonight."
"No, no, I have something else to do. I'll have a drink with Mr. Jiang when I'm free."
As soon as Director Chen left, Jiang Hao also left. Qiao Xinwei and Zai Xi were still at home.
In the quiet afternoon, warm sunlight shines in from the floor-to-ceiling windows. In the small room, Qiao Xinwei is lying next to her son with her legs curled up. The car crib is too small, it is just a larger crib. She is sleeping.
My feet were hanging out, so I had to be careful when turning over. If I wasn't careful, I might fall off the bed.
This place was originally a baby's room. When it was being renovated, Jiang Hao didn't know he had such a big son.
Zai Xi slept soundly, but Qiao Xinwei's whole body was straining. When she woke up, her whole body was even more sore.
She heard the sound of the door opening and closing, and thinking that Jiang Hao might be back, she got up and walked to the stairs to look down.
When she saw it, it was a cleaning lady wearing blue overalls. Three people came, and she suddenly felt a little disappointed.
The aunties brought tools and made a lot of noise.
"It's Mrs. Jiang, are we??"
"Shh," Qiao Xinwei interrupted, walked downstairs and said, "The child is sleeping upstairs, please be gentle. Also, I am not Jiang Hao's wife, my name is Qiao Xinwei."
The aunt nodded and asked the two people behind her to lower their voices. At the same time, she looked her up and down doubtfully, "But Chief Jiang said that his wife and son are coming back today. They have been away for a month and asked us to come over and clean them up. Can you please
Not his wife?"
Qiao Xinwei was so angry that she couldn't explain why Jiang Hao told people everywhere that she was his wife. Even if she was, she was still his ex-Mrs. Jiang.
At this time, there was a "ding" outside the door, and Jiang Hao happened to come back. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Qiao Xinwei, and his heavy face suddenly turned into a smile, "Xinwei."
"Shh, be gentle, Xi Bao is sleeping."
Jiang Hao nodded softly, his movements and steps unconsciously became lighter. He walked in front of her, looked at her and smiled.
"What are you laughing at? Are there flowers on my face?"
"There are really flowers." Jiang Hao reached out and stroked her hair, "Don't move, it's messy."
Qiao Xinwei still ran away, combing her hair by herself, feeling extremely embarrassed.
Jiang Hao smiled. When he returned home and saw her, he felt at ease, "Xinwei, this is Aunt Zhang. She usually helps me clean the house. Aunt Zhang, this is Qiao Xinwei."
Aunt Zhang nodded, "Well, I know, she introduced herself just now, and she said she is not Mrs. Jiang."
"??" This time it was Jiang Hao's turn to feel embarrassed, "Ahem, Aunt Zhang, you guys need to help me clean up." He changed the subject.
"Okay." The cleaning ladies began to divide the work and cooperate.
Seeing Qiao Xinwei pinching her waist, he asked, "What's wrong with you?"
"Backache, Xibao's bed is too small."
"??" Jiang Hao was speechless, "You can sleep in the master bedroom. The bed in the master bedroom is big."
"Then let me make a three-part agreement with you. First, there is no relationship between us except raising Xi Bao together. Don't try to take any advantage of me. Second, settle the matter of Xi Bao going to kindergarten as soon as possible. After that, I will
I have to go out to find a job. By the way, Xibao must have my last name when registering for residence. Thirdly, if your parents come to me for trouble because of their children, please be sure to handle it properly, Chief Jiang Da, and don’t let it be an adult’s matter.
Everything that affects children must put children first."
Jiang Hao listened to her and said jokingly: "It's really a three-part agreement. You said it fluently and clearly in one breath. It seems that you have thought about it a long time ago."
"Yes, if you don't know, we can sign a contract."
"That's not necessary. I have a pretty good memory, just three items." Then the question came. He looked at her and asked with a smile, "How do I solve it when I sleep at night?"
No matter how she looked at him, Qiao Xinwei felt that he had evil intentions on his face and said, "Xi Bao is used to sleeping with me. I will share a room with him and change the bed to a bigger one." It suddenly occurred to her that Xi Bao seemed to like that car shape very much.
She didn't know if she wanted to change her bed, so she added, "I can make a bed on the floor, you don't have to worry about how I sleep."
The cleaning lady looked this way. Even though she was cleaning, she would inevitably prick up her ears to listen.
Jiang Hao pulled her upstairs, "Let go, I will walk by myself." She shook off his hand, supported her waist with one hand and held the railing with the other as she walked up. Her waist was sore, her calves were sore, and her whole body was sore.
Jiang Hao followed her up and reached the second bedroom and looked at his son inside. The little boy was sleeping soundly. Then he grabbed Qiao Xinwei's arm and pulled her into the master bedroom, closing the door so she could talk.
.
It was broad daylight, there was someone down there, and there was her son next to her. Qiao Xinwei didn't believe what he would do to her.
Jiang Hao said: "Xi Bao is getting older. It's time to let him sleep alone. Three years old means eighty. Do you want him to stick to you for the rest of his life? It's time to cultivate your child's independence."
This is not wrong.
"Let's do this, you sleep on the bed and I sleep on the floor."
Qiao Xinwei rolled her eyes at him and disagreed. Who didn't know his little calculation?
Jiang Hao had no choice but to back down, "Okay, then I'll sleep in the guest bedroom downstairs, right? You're not that desperate to kick me out, are you?"
"No, the house belongs to you. How dare I kick you out? You sleep in the guest bedroom downstairs. That's it. You can't go upstairs after eight o'clock."
"Eight o'clock?"
"Yes, Xi Bao goes to bed at eight o'clock. By the way, when Xi Bao wakes up, I will take him to my mother's house and have dinner there. I have already agreed with my mother on the phone."
Jiang Hao said shamelessly: "Let's go together."
"It's none of your business."
Helpless, compromising, retreating, "Then I'll pick you up. It's cold at night, and it's not safe for you to be a woman with a child at night."
"That's okay." Qiao Xinwei suddenly thought, "Is your dad okay?"
"It's okay, I've gone home."
"Oh, it's best if nothing happens. Why are you still here? This is my room. Please get out."
Jiang Hao had no ability to refute at all and said with a grimace: "My clothes are still here."
"Xi Bao and I will leave in a moment. You can pack up slowly and help me pick up my suitcase. Thank you."
"Xinwei??"
"Don't act coquettishly with me, I won't accept your behavior."
Jiang Hao thought silently in his heart: The revolution has not yet succeeded, comrades still need to work hard.
