"That's not possible." You Chengdong was startled and said hurriedly, "First report to Mayor Xu and then arrest the person. This step cannot be reversed."
"Lu Qian, don't be so hasty. Don't worry, Xue Yuan can't run away now." Qiao Liang said.
You Chengdong nodded and said, "Let's do this. Let's send people to watch outside Xue Yuan's residence at night. Just make sure that he is under our surveillance. We will report to Mayor Xu tomorrow before arresting him."
"That's okay." Lu Qian nodded and did not force her own ideas. She knew that she could not be too willful.
"Then go back and rest first, and we will arrange the arrest tomorrow." You Chengdong said.
Lu Qian had no objection. After sending You Chengdong away, Lu Qian sent Qiao Liang back and went back to her dormitory to rest.
After a night of silence, You Chengdong came to Mayor Xu Honggang's office early the next day. He was accompanied by Lu Qian and several other case investigators, but a few of them were waiting in the corridor.
Xue Yuan, who was working outside the suite, saw You Chengdong coming over and said in surprise, "Mayor You, you came to see Mayor Xu so early. Is there something urgent?"
"Well, there's something urgent. Chief Xue, please inform me." You Chengdong gave Xue Yuan a meaningful look.
"Mayor You, please wait a moment," Xue Yuan said.
Xue Yuan went in to report, and came out after a while and said, "Mayor You, Mayor Xu, please come in."
"Okay." You Chengdong glanced at Xue Yuan and walked into the back office.
"Comrade Cheng Dong, do you have something urgent to come here early in the morning?" Xu Honggang glanced at You Chengdong and asked calmly. When he got up in the morning and turned on his mobile phone, he saw You Chengdong's missed call notification, but Xu Honggang was too lazy to go back. Cheng Dong is not his person, and he is not very enthusiastic about You Chengdong. Moreover, if You Chengdong has something important, he believes that You Chengdong will call him again.
"Mayor Xu, this is about the fall of Wu Wenwen, the former deputy director of the municipal television station. This incident was previously classified as an accident. However, our municipal bureau received new clues and overturned the previous conclusion. It has been determined that this incident was not an accident. It was an accident, but a homicide." You Chengdong said straight to the point.
"Homicide?" Xu Honggang frowned and stared at You Chengdong, "Comrade Cheng Dong, are you sure you are not mistaken? I remember that it was your city bureau who concluded that Wu Wenwen's fall was accidental. Why now? On the other hand, it’s your city bureau that’s not an accident. When did your city bureau’s handling of cases become such a joke?”
"Mayor Xu, in the previous situation, because I haven't been transferred to the city bureau yet, I don't know very well what the investigation process is. But this time, there is conclusive evidence that Wu Wenwen's fall from the building was re-identified as a homicide. ." You Chengdong said.
"Conclusive evidence?" Xu Honggang pointed out, "Comrade Cheng Dong, is it possible that you made a mistake? Or did you get some false evidence?"
"Mayor Xu, it's impossible." You Chengdong said solemnly.
You Chengdong then took out the USB flash drive he took from Qiao Liang from his pocket and prepared to show Xu Honggang the video. However, Xu Honggang became more serious at this moment and said, "Comrade Cheng Dong, are you sure this is not false evidence?"
You Chengdong was stunned, looked at Xu Honggang, and saw Xu Honggang staring at him sharply. You Chengdong finally understood that Xu Honggang was giving him some kind of hint.
After a moment of silence, You Chengdong insisted, "Mayor Xu, the evidence is conclusive. It can be said to be ironclad."
Hearing what You Chengdong said, a hint of evil flashed in Xu Honggang's eyes. This You Chengdong really didn't know how to praise someone.
Thinking about it in his heart, Xu Honggang was a little surprised and doubtful. What evidence did You Chengdong have?
When Xu Hong was confused, he saw You Chengdong holding a USB flash drive in his hand and said, "Mayor Xu, there is a video in this USB flash drive that can prove who is the murderer."
"Who is the murderer?" Xu Honggang looked directly at You Chengdong.
"Mayor Xu, you can clearly see from the video that the murderer is Secretary Xue." You Chengdong looked at Xu Honggang without showing any signs of weakness.
"Secretary Xue? You mean Xue Yuan?" Xu Honggang looked shocked.
"Well, that's him, otherwise we wouldn't have another Secretary Xue in this city." You Chengdong nodded and answered. You Chengdong secretly cursed in his mind, "Damn it, Xu Honggang's acting skills are too good." Especially seeing the shocked expression on Xu Honggang's face at this moment, You Chengdong almost wanted to vomit blood. Damn it, when he didn't hear who the murderer was just now, Xu Honggang also hinted that he had obtained false evidence. Now that he heard the murderer It was Xue Yuan, and he made a shocked gesture at the right time. This acting skills convinced You Chengdong.
But precisely through Xu Honggang's completely different reactions, You Chengdong increasingly concluded that Xu Honggang had prior knowledge of the matter. In Wu Wenwen's case, it was most likely that Xu Honggang helped Xue Yuan cover up the crime, while Lu Ming just Carry out Xu Honggang's instructions.
Of course, even if he had such speculation in his mind, You Chengdong's face would not show anything. He had no interest at all in whether the case involved Xu Honggang. On the contrary, his target was Lu Ming.
The thoughts in You Chengdong's mind flashed through his mind, and he heard Xu Honggang say quietly, "Comrade Cheng Dong, show this video you mentioned for me to take a look at."
"Okay." You Chengdong nodded, and he could feel Xu Honggang's eyes looking at him particularly sharply.
You Chengdong calmly inserted the USB flash drive into the computer on Xu Honggang's desk, clicked on the video, and said to Xu Honggang, "Mayor Xu, take a look."
Xu Honggang walked over with his hands behind his back and stared at the computer.
When he saw Xue Yuan picking up Wu Wenwen and throwing him downstairs in the video, the expression on Xu Honggang's face was exactly the same as before. He was shocked and said, "This... this is so stupid. Wu Wenwen is his girlfriend, and he can actually do this." Kind of something."
After Xu Hong finished speaking, he said angrily, "Asshole, what a bastard, this Xue Yuan dared to deceive me. When Wu Wenwen fell from the building before, he explained to me with a sad face that it was because two people had a quarrel and Wu Wenwen was impulsive. I jumped off the building, I didn’t expect the truth to be like this.”
Xu Honggang looked particularly angry, as if he had nowhere to vent the anger of being deceived and deceived. You Chengdong looked at it and wisely remained silent.
After a brief moment of anger, Xu Honggang looked at You Chengdong seriously, "Comrade Cheng Dong, what are you going to do now?"
You Chengdong said, "Mayor Xu, there is irrefutable evidence that Secretary Xue is the murderer. We will criminally detain him in accordance with the law."
Xu Honggang sighed after hearing this, "This is the right thing to do. Everyone is equal before the law. Anyone who breaks the law must be punished and tried by the law. Even if he, Xue Yuan, is my secretary, Xu Honggang, there is no exception. Comrade Cheng Dong , I support you in handling the case in accordance with the law and regulations."
After hearing this, You Chengdong said, "Mayor Xu, thank you for your support in our case handling."
Xu Honggang nodded, "This is what you should do. You handle the case according to the rules. How can I not support you? And I put my words here. As long as you handle the case with reason and evidence, then I, Xu Honggang, will be your biggest supporter. Who dares to obstruct it?" When you handle the case, I, Xu Honggang, will be the first to refuse to spare him."
You Chengdong hurriedly added, "Thank you, Mayor Xu, for your understanding and affirmation of us."
"Well, you are working very hard on the case, so I should give you support." Xu Honggang said solemnly. After speaking, Xu Honggang changed the topic, with a look of great pain and regret on his face, "This Xue Yuan is simply too unfair." That's right, no matter how inconsistent his relationship with Wu Wenwen is, he can't do such a crazy thing."
Xu Honggang said, paused and then said, "Comrade Cheng Dong, you don't know. I heard Xue Yuan say before that his relationship with Wu Wenwen was not good. At that time, I also persuaded him that relationships should be slowly adjusted. , even couples who have been married for many years will have conflicts, let alone a couple like them who have not been together for a short time. I even joked that I would drink his and Wu Wenwen’s wedding wine in the future, so that he and Wu Wenwen could get along well. I didn’t expect that he would do such a stupid thing. What a shame, what a pity for such an outstanding young man."
Hearing what Xu Honggang said, You Chengdong said, "It's a pity. Secretary Xue is such an excellent person, but it is really inappropriate to ruin his future because of emotional matters."
"Yes." Xu Honggang nodded with deep feeling, "It's really inappropriate. He should have had a bright future, but he ruined the rest of his life with his own hands."
Xu Honggang looked at You Chengdong with regret on his face and said, "Comrade Cheng Dong, I have an unkind request. I wonder if Comrade Cheng Dong can consider it as appropriate."
"Mayor Xu, please don't say that. If you have any instructions, just give them." You Chengdong said quickly.
Xu Honggang said, "Comrade Cheng Dong, it's like this. You also know that Xue Yuan is my secretary, and I have some feelings for him. To be honest, his ability is extremely outstanding, and now he has made an irreparable mistake. It is true that It's disappointing, I hope you can give him a chance to surrender on his own, what do you think?"
"This..." You Chengdong hesitated.
Xu Honggang glanced at You Chengdong and said, "Comrade Cheng Dong, and you can't do anything in the city compound, do you understand what I mean? Xue Yuan broke the law and should be punished by law, but if you want to arrest him, , don’t choose to do it in the city compound, otherwise the impact will be too bad.”
You Chengdong didn't say anything. Xu Honggang asked not to do anything in the city compound. You Chengdong thought it was understandable. After all, Xue Yuan was Xu Honggang's secretary. If he arrested people directly here, where would Xu Honggang's face go?
At this time, Xu Honggang continued, "I think giving Xue Yuan a chance to surrender is not considered a violation of the regulations. This is also considered to be flexible without breaking the law. Comrade Cheng Dong, don't you think so?"
"Well, Mayor Xu is right. If Xue Yuan is willing to surrender, I agree." You Chengdong thought about it for a while and then agreed. Xu Honggang wanted to give Xue Yuan a chance to surrender, just to let Xue Yuan You can still get leniency later, which You Chengdong thinks is understandable from Xu Honggang's perspective.
