"We have finished talking and the matter is very clear. I don't know if there is anything else you would like to add, Director Cao."
Cao Weidong ignored this clown.
He looked at County Magistrate Ji.
"County Magistrate Ji, do you believe what they say?"
"This..."
County Magistrate Ji was silent.
He is not a fool. He is actually skeptical about the speeches made by Duan Derui and others.
First.
At the same time that the case was being extracted, a fire broke out inside the police station, and all the testimonies and exhibits involved were burned.
This is too much of a coincidence.
Secondly.
Whether it's Duan Derui, Wu Qiong, or the police comrades who handle the case.
What these people say is exactly the same.
This gave County Magistrate Ji some doubts.
Because what these people say is really neat.
It's as neat as if it had been rehearsed in advance.
However, County Magistrate Ji has no evidence.
So he chose to remain silent.
Cao Weidong looked at Secretary Sun again.
"Secretary Sun, what do you think?"
Secretary Sun sighed: "I have no idea at the moment, and I still need strict interrogation."
Cao Weidong looked at other mass representatives again.
"Do you have anything to say?"
Several mass representatives looked at each other.
After hesitating for a while, one of the crowd representatives whispered.
"Director Cao, this matter seems to be somewhat different from what you said."
The other people also nodded.
Now even the mass representatives who support Cao Weidong the most no longer believe in Cao Weidong.
After asking around, no one in the conference room supported Cao Weidong except Shi Man.
For a time, he seemed to be trapped in the embarrassment of betrayal and alienation.
At this time Duan Derui stood up.
Said hypocritically.
"Comrade Cao Weidong, I understand that you have been wronged and feel uncomfortable, but the matter is that simple and there is no conspiracy. I hope you will stop making trouble and make this matter public to the public to eliminate the impact."<
/p>
He secretly glanced at Lu Xingchao.
It happened that Lu Xingchao was also looking at him at this time.
Their eyes intertwined in the air.
A touch of luck and joy flashed in his eyes.
Duan Derui secretly screamed that it was dangerous.
He had a premonition that Cao Weidong would take action.
So I organized people to rehearse the rhetoric in advance.
And for those prisoners.
This may be your only chance to survive.
Therefore, it is quite cooperative.
But the only thing Duan Derui didn't guess was that Cao Weidong would be so straightforward and report directly to the boss.
This is equivalent to two people fighting.
A person felt wronged and went directly to call his parents!
This completely disrupted Duan Derui's plan, leaving him without enough time to destroy the evidence.
In desperation, Duan Derui simply set a fire.
Although this will leave traces, it is better than being discovered by the leaders of the county party committee and exposing the lies they compiled on the spot.
Lu Xingchao jumped out again at this time.
Said confidently:
"Comrade Cao Weidong, the matter has become very clear. Now it's time to talk about your slander against me."
"I ask you to apologize to me."
"Defamation? Apology?"
Cao Weidong snorted coldly.
His eyes moved away from Lu Xingchao and finally fell on Duan Derui.
"Comrade Duan Derui, I wonder if you have thought about a question?"
I don’t know why, but under Cao Weidong’s gaze, Duan Derui felt a little panicked.
"What's the problem?"
"I've obviously guessed that you and Lu Xingchao colluded to suppress this matter, so why do you want to start such a big battle?"
Duan Derui's brain buzzed.
He finally discovered a blind spot.
Yes, how could such a shrewd person as Cao Weidong be so reckless?
But what trump card does he hide?
Cao Weidong continued.
"Now that you have finished speaking, it is my turn to speak."
"First of all, I would like to ask you to stop recording for a while."
Duan Derui suddenly stood up, eyes wide open.
"Recording? Impossible. Where did you get the recorder?"
In the 1950s and 1960s, there were actually tape recorders. Shanghai Recording Equipment Factory [Zhongsheng Brand] once developed a tube recorder, which set off a trend.
However, that kind of tape recorder is quite bulky, and no matter how you look at it, Cao Weidong doesn't look like someone who carries a tape recorder with him.
Cao Weidong put his hand in his marching bag.
I took the opportunity to take out a button-sized tape recorder from my pocket.
He already has this spy recorder.
I used it once when I went abroad.
After returning to China, I kept it in my portable space gathering dust.
When interrogating several of his attackers at the steelworks, Cao Weidong was extra cautious and recorded all their testimonies, which came in handy at this time.
Cao Weidong saw everyone's confused expressions and explained.
"I was assigned by the leader of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to complete a mission abroad. It is not convenient to tell you the specific content of the mission, but this equipment was obtained at that time."
Then he pressed play.
A recording floated out.
"Who instructed you to come?" This is Cao Weidong's voice
"It's Master Lu. He instructed us to do this. He also gave us a sum of money to kill you..." This was the voice of the murderers, with panic in their voices.<
/p>
"Who is Mr. Lu?"
"Lu Xingchao is the secretary of a senior official in our county. He also said that there is nothing in Wan'an County that he can't settle, so let us do it boldly..."
As the recordings are played one by one.
Everyone in the conference room was dumbfounded.
The truth turns out to be this.
They are too crazy.
"No, your recording is wrong, it's fake."
Lu Xingchao suddenly went crazy and wanted to stop Cao Weidong from continuing to play, but was easily subdued by Shi Man.
Duan Derui realized something was wrong and subconsciously touched his pocket.
Then he sighed.
He left his sidearm outside before the meeting.
The security officers on duty nearby noticed Duan Derui's actions.
They all stepped forward and subdued Duan Derui and others.
Secretary Sun sighed sadly.
He walked up to Lu Xingchao, waved his hand and pulled away.
"What a fool, you beast, I was really blind back then."
Secretary Sun always pays attention to his demeanor, but now he started to curse. It seemed that Lu Xingchao had really broken his guard.
County Magistrate Ji sighed.
"Forget it, since it happened, let's find a way to solve it. Now let's talk about how to deal with it."
"Comrade Cao Weidong, what do you think?"
It must be severely punished.
But Cao Weidong is the one who suffers, so before doing this, you should also ask the other party what they think.
Cao Weidong said: "Now that the matter is clear, I hope that leaders can punish him fairly."
Secretary Sun nodded: "Don't worry, this is for sure."
After the matter was settled, Secretary Sun asked curiously: "By the way, Comrade Cao Weidong, why are you so good at going to the steel factory these days?"
Cao Weidong smiled mysteriously and took out a silver-white wire from his backpack.
