"No, that guy Cai Minghai has no regard for me as the acting county magistrate. Last night I called him and asked him where Chen Dingzhong was in prison. He said he didn't know. I felt that he was obviously perfunctory with me." Guan Zhitao said angrily. He said, getting angry whenever he mentioned this.
"Forget it, it's pointless to talk about it now. The provincial department ordered the arrest, so it's useless for you to put pressure on your county bureau." Jiang Shengchen looked at Guan Zhitao, "The problem now is that you have to stabilize yourself. .
"Secretary Jiang, I feel that it will be difficult for me to get through this." Guan Zhitao was very pessimistic and looked at Jiang Shengchen with a hopeful look on his face, "Secretary Jiang, why don't you go talk to Mayor Xu and let Mayor Xu Come out and say hello?”
"I'm afraid it's hard for me to talk about this." Jiang Shengchen sighed helplessly. The reason why he didn't agree with Guan Zhitao's surrender was precisely because he couldn't explain it to Xu Honggang, because Guan Zhitao was able to go to Songbei before. He and Xu Honggang recommended him to be the county magistrate. If something goes wrong with Guan Zhitao, Jiang Shengchen can easily guess how angry Xu Honggang will be. He will definitely blame the person he recommended for being unreliable.
"Secretary Jiang, if Mayor Xu doesn't come forward, I will definitely be in danger." Guan Zhitao said again.
"Zhitao, I don't think you need to worry now. Chen Dingzhong has just been arrested, and you want to surrender now. This is too frustrating," Jiang Shengchen said.
Guan Zhitao became silent after hearing this. Jiang Shengchen did not support his decision. Guan Zhitao hesitated again. He didn't sleep all night last night. After a fierce ideological struggle, he decided to surrender. Jiang Shengchen said this , Guan Zhitao's thoughts wavered again.
"Zhitao, my opinion is to wait and see first. Let's find someone to inquire about the news from Chen Dingzhong, and then we will see how to respond." Jiang Shengchen said.
"Then let's wait and see." Guan Zhitao was finally persuaded by Jiang Shengchen. In fact, he was not willing to just surrender, otherwise he would not have come to discuss with Jiang Shengchen.
Time flashed to noon. When Qiao Liang was having lunch in the ward, someone suddenly opened the door and came in. When Qiao Liang saw the person in front of him, he was stunned and his eyes widened.
The person coming is An Zhe!
Qiao Liang never expected that An Zhe would appear in front of him at this time, because An Zhe was still in the northwest when he talked to him on the phone yesterday. At that time, An Zhe told him that he would celebrate the New Year in the northwest this year. Qiao Liang did not expect that An Zhe would appear in front of him at this time. Zhe rushed back from the northwest.
Looking at An Zhe in front of him, Qiao Liang's eyes became wet for no reason. Every time he was injured, An Zhe would always appear in front of him.
Qiao Liang looked at An Zhe, and An Zhe was also looking at Qiao Liang. Seeing that Qiao Liang was in good spirits, An Zhe immediately felt relieved. He had just returned from the northwest. When he arrived at Sanjiang County Hospital, his first thought was to get there first. He hadn't even had time to go to Qiao Liang's ward or Lu Qian's side.
Seeing Qiao Liang's eyes were red, An Zhe, who had always been serious about his words, gave a rare smile and said, "Liang Zi, are you not happy to see me? Why are you still crying?"
"Boss, no, I'm so happy." Qiao Liang sniffed and controlled his emotions and said, "Boss, didn't you say yesterday that you were celebrating the New Year in the northwest this year?"
"Yes, I told you that it's okay to celebrate the New Year in the northwest, but I didn't say I wouldn't come back." An Zhe said, "I'm on duty on the second day of the Lunar New Year, so I came back today."
"Boss, thank you for coming to see me." Qiao Liang said sincerely. He could imagine that An Zhe must have caught a flight early this morning and rushed to Sanjiang non-stop to appear in front of him at this time.
"How long has it been since you last saw me? Are you still estranged from me?" An Zhe snorted, "If you are so polite to me again, I will be angry."
"Boss, then just think that I just farted without saying anything." Qiao Liang chuckled.
"That's pretty much it." An Zhe smiled again, "I'm relieved to see you're fine. You eat first, and I'll go check on Lu Qian and come back to talk to you later."
"Okay." Qiao Liang nodded, feeling a little moved in her heart. When An Zhe came to Sanjiang, he was the first person he cared about and thought about.
An Zhe left Qiao Liang's ward and went to the ward where Lu Qian was. At this time, Songbei County Bureau, Zhou Hongda, who was personally interrogating Chen Dingzhong, received a fax from the Provincial Technical Inspection Center. After reading the content of the fax, Zhou Hongda
With an excited look on his face, he clapped the fax in his hand and said to Cai Minghai, "The test results are finally out. Now Chen Dingzhong can no longer cheat."
"Is this the drug you said Chen Dingzhong ordered people to poison?" Cai Minghai asked.
"Yes, this is the drug that Chen Dingzhong ordered Wang Feiyu to try to inject into Secretary Qiao's intravenous drip bottle. Fortunately, Wang Feiyu didn't know what it was and didn't destroy the drug, otherwise the matter would not have been clearly investigated." Zhou Hongda's face was filled with confusion.
Smiling, "This is a very rare chemical drug. Otherwise, I would have thought that the test results would be available yesterday, but unexpectedly it was postponed for a day. Come on, let's go find Chen Dingzhong now. I'll see if he has anything else to say."
The two came to the interrogation room together. Chen Dingzhong was dozing off at the moment. He had been interrogated for almost two days and one night, and he still hadn't closed his eyes. He could hardly open his eyes. No matter how the interrogators asked, Chen Dingzhong was.
After asking three questions, he was sure that the investigators did not dare to do anything to him. At the same time, Chen Dingzhong also took a chance and hoped that Guan Zhitao could find connections to fish him out.
Zhou Hongda walked into the interrogation room and saw that Chen Dingzhong was sleepy. He jokingly said, "Chen Dingzhong, you have a big heart. You are about to die, but you can still sleep."
Chen Dingzhong opened his eyes a slit and glanced at Zhou Hongda, then closed his eyes again, as if he didn't want to pay attention, and said, "I said, I want to see a lawyer. Before my lawyer arrives, I can't do anything."
Can’t tell.”
"Don't you know what kind of case you have committed? This is a major criminal case. Do you think you can see a lawyer if you want?" Zhou Hongda sneered, "Don't think that you are a big deal just because you have a few bad dollars. Let me tell you the truth.
, you may be sentenced to death this time, or at worst it will be a reprieve, do you think you can still find someone to make connections to get you?"
"I don't know what you are talking about, but you are charging me with no reason. I will let my lawyer prosecute you. I don't believe there is no reason in this world." Chen Dingzhong's sleepiness dissipated a lot, and Zhou Hongda
The words of death in his mouth suddenly made him sober up.
"A duck has a tough mouth even though it's dead." Zhou Hongda looked at Chen Dingzhong mockingly, and handed the fax he received from the Provincial Technology Center to Chen Dingzhong, "See clearly, you instigated Wang Feiyu to murder Secretary Qiao Liang.
The evidence shows that you are already suspected of intentional homicide, and the target of the murder is a leading cadre like Secretary Qiao Liang. The nature of the murder is even more egregious, and the death penalty is not an exaggeration."
"You're talking nonsense." Chen Dingzhong glared and firmly denied.
"Wang Feiyu has already confessed, and at the same time he voluntarily handed over the drugs you provided him. Now that the identification results have come out and there are both witnesses and physical evidence, do you think you can still deny it?" Zhou Hongda said calmly, "I don't care about you now. Whether you admit it or not, the outcome of this case will not change. Do you think denying it will be useful?"
Hearing Zhou Hongda's words, Chen Dingzhong took a closer look at the test report in front of him, and was stunned for a moment. He cursed Wang Feiyu half to death in his heart. This guy didn't know to destroy the medicine when he failed.
In desperation, Chen Dingzhong only told Wang Feiyu to leave Jiangzhou as soon as possible without thinking too much. Chen Dingzhong honestly did not expect that Wang Feiyu would even carry the medicine on his body.
After being stunned for a long time, Chen Dingzhong glanced at Zhou Hongda quietly. At this time, he had been frightened and woke up, and he was completely sleepless.
After a moment of silence, Chen Dingzhong couldn't help but ask, "Is this... is this really a death sentence?"
"What do you think?" Zhou Hongda sneered, "Secretary Qiao Liang is a leading cadre in the city. Your attempt to murder him is particularly bad. The sentencing will definitely be strictly considered. I guess you won't be able to escape the death penalty. "
Zhou Hongda's words were somewhat intended to intimidate Chen Dingzhong. It was not up to him to decide whether he would be sentenced to death. Chen Dingzhong was an attempted murder. It is still unclear how heavy the sentence would be. Zhou Hongda was simply trying to get Chen Dingzhong to cooperate. That's all, he might as well communicate with the superiors earlier. If this case is solved perfectly within two or three days, Zhou Hongda will undoubtedly give himself a lot of points.
And Chen Dingzhong is completely ignorant of the law. As the old saying goes, there is great terror between life and death. Some people are ruthless and do not regard the lives of others as their own, but when it is their turn, they are greedy for life and afraid of death, especially Cherish life.
"If I perform meritorious service, can my punishment be reduced?" Chen Dingzhong suddenly asked.
"What achievements can you make?" Zhou Hongda raised his eyebrows.
"Yes, yes, I can make meritorious deeds. I have many problems to report. I can report against Songbei County Acting Magistrate Guan Zhitao... I know many of his violations of laws and disciplines. I, I..."
Chen Dingzhong spoke hurriedly, and because of fear, he was a little incoherent at this time.
Zhou Hongda was stunned when he heard what Chen Dingzhong said. He just wanted to intimidate Chen Dingzhong, but Chen Dingzhong was really frightened. He even said that he wanted to make meritorious service. The key is that the first person who said it was the acting county magistrate of Songbei. Zhitao.
"Minghai, it seems that we might be able to dig out a big fish." Zhou Hongda turned around and whispered to Cai Minghai, but he clearly remembered that it was Guan Zhitao who called last night to ask about Chen Dingzhong's whereabouts. It can be seen that what Chen Dingzhong said at this moment should be credible.
"Yes." Cai Minghai murmured and nodded in agreement. Guan Zhitao was his immediate boss and the acting county magistrate. At this moment, Chen Dingzhong bit Guan Zhitao, and Cai Minghai was obviously shocked.
"Chen Dingzhong, even if you want to be guilty and meritorious, you can't talk nonsense, do you understand?" Zhou Hongda's face became serious, and he stared at Chen Dingzhong and said sternly.
"I understand, I must be telling the truth." Chen Dingzhong nodded vigorously, and then asked, "Does this count as meritorious deeds?"
"As long as the violations of laws and disciplines you reported are true, that's fine," Zhou Hongda said.
