When Zhang Zhiyuan went downstairs in a daze, he saw Lu Yiwei waiting for him at the entrance. He said weakly. "You should go back. I want to be alone."
Lu Yiwei understood the situation. He stepped forward to support Zhang Zhiyuan. "County Zhang, you have to hold on. If you collapse, this incident will never come to light."
A gust of cold wind blew, and Zhang Zhiyuan woke up from his stupor. At this moment, firecrackers were set off in the county. Zhang Zhiyuan saw firecrackers rising into the air, making loud noises, but there was only a weak light. It was just like him. He had launched Operation Storm in a hurry, but ended up like this. He smiled bitterly and said, "Yiwei, why did the residents set off firecrackers tonight? Are they celebrating something? "
Lu Yiwei said. "County Zhang, tonight is Lunar New Year."
"Oh." Zhang Zhiyuan had forgotten about Lunar New Year. "Time flies. It will be Lunar New Year in seven to eight days. I wanted the people of Nanyang to have a peaceful Lunar New Year. But it seems like my wish is too extravagant."
Lu Yiwei felt wronged. "County Zhang, you must be tired. Let me send you back to rest."
Zhang Zhiyuan suddenly turned to Lu Yiwei. "Do you have alcohol?"
Lu Yiwei nodded. "Yes!"
"Let's go! Let's go drink! "
Lu Yiwei dragged Zhang Zhiyuan to Niu Fuyong's place. He rummaged through the fridge and found some cooked food. He made a few dishes and took out two bottles of Xijiang alcohol. He filled them with alcohol and placed them in front of Zhang Zhiyuan.
Zhang Zhiyuan did not eat. He drank the alcohol and pointed at the glass. "Fill it up!"
Lu Yiwei knew Zhang Zhiyuan was suffering and filled it up. Zhang Zhiyuan raised his glass again. His face was red and his eyes were blurred.
Lu Yiwei advised. "County Zhang, you should eat first. It's not good for your health to drink like this."
"Cut the crap. I know my alcohol tolerance. Continue!" Zhang Zhiyuan took off his coat.
Lu Yiwei continued to fill it up. This time, he accompanied Zhang Zhiyuan and drank. After three glasses, Zhang Zhiyuan took off his glasses and rubbed his bloodshot eyes. "Yiwei, you don't have to follow me from tomorrow. If you want to stay in Chuangwei HQ, you can work there. If you want to change places, I will help you."
Hearing Zhang Zhiyuan's words, Lu Yiwei was confused. "County Zhang, I'm not going anywhere! If I leave at this time, can I live up to your kindness? "
Zhang Zhiyuan shook his head. "Yiwei, I can't implicate you because of me. You should leave this place as soon as possible. The further you hide, the better. I was impatient. I underestimated the opponent's strength and caused such a big mistake. I implicated Xiao Dingyuan and Fu Jiangwei. I have thought it through. I will take responsibility for what I have done. Tomorrow, I will meet the leaders of the Municipal Party Committee. I am willing to accept the punishment. "
When people are in despair, the first thing they think of is themselves. But Zhang Zhiyuan was different. He would rather sacrifice himself to protect his brothers and friends who risked their lives for him. This was something that no one else could do. Lu Yiwei was moved. "County Zhang, this is not the time to say such discouraging words. We should reorganize the whole case, find the flaws, and uncover the truth in one fell swoop."
Zhang Zhiyuan seemed to have no confidence. "It's meaningless. Zhang Lefei has witnesses and material evidence. No matter what you say, the chance of retracting the confession is very small. What's more, Secretary Liu has already gone to the Municipal Party Committee to report tonight. Once the leaders make the decision, it's a done deal. It doesn't matter who comes forward. "
"No!" Lu Yiwei heard Zhang Zhiyuan was so depressed. "County Zhang, we can't compromise. Fu Jiangwei was framed. Are you going to watch him die in vain? Are you just going to watch the dead peddler die with his eyes wide open? Are you going to watch the people of Nanyang jump into the fire again? What about your promise? Don't you remember it? "
After being scolded by Lu Yiwei, Zhang Zhiyuan sobered up a lot. Two lines of tears flowed down his face. His lips trembled, but he couldn't say anything.
Lu Yiwei felt that his words were a little harsh. He immediately apologized. "I'm sorry, County Zhang. I shouldn't have said that to you. But I really don't want you to give up like this. I can't accept it. I can't accept it! I have a different view on this case. Would you like to hear it? "
Zhang Zhiyuan rubbed his face with both hands. He took a deep breath and put on his glasses. "Say it!"
Lu Yiwei said, "County Zhang, can you tell me about tonight's situation?"
Zhang Zhiyuan immediately told Lu Yiwei the details of tonight's situation. Lu Yiwei was so angry that his lungs almost burst after hearing it. He slammed his fist on the tea table and gnashed his teeth. "This is a f * cking false accusation."
Zhang Zhiyuan said. "Yes, it's false accusation. But what can we do? I'm not allowed to interfere in this case. Liu Kecheng single-handedly manipulated the case and got the support of the City Bureau. All the advantages are on their side. We are defenseless and can't fight back. "
Lu Yiwei thought for a while and said. "County Zhang, can we put ourselves in the other party's perspective? What are they most afraid of?"
"Them?" Zhang Zhiyuan was puzzled. "Who are they?"
"The mastermind of this case, of course." Lu Yiwei said.
Zhang Zhiyuan thought for a long time but couldn't figure it out. He shook his head.
Lu Yiwei said, "The other party covered up the truth and fabricated a fact that the meridian must exist. This method of covering up may seem brilliant, but it's quite clumsy and can't stand up to scrutiny. First of all, they were ambiguous about Fu Jiangwei's motive for killing and rescuing Zhao Zhigang. They tried to use a bribery case from two to three years ago to confuse the public. This is obviously untenable. As for the sleeping pills, I don't know if Fu Jiangwei suffers from insomnia. If he does, we can use it to fight back. I can verify with his family tomorrow. "
Zhang Zhiyuan nodded and ate his food. His brain was thinking fast.
Lu Yiwei continued. "Let's look back at the whole case. They killed the suspect because they were afraid of getting Zhao Zhigang's name. Once Zhao Zhigang is involved, the people behind Zhao Zhigang will panic. That's why they planned this case carefully. Moreover, the planner and the people in the detention center had planned this in advance, and together, they weaved the net seamlessly. We need to fight for time and do a few things.
"First, we need to stall for time. The longer the better. This requires the support of the higher-ups. I went to see Chairman Ding today. He said that the Municipal Party Committee Secretary Guo is on a business trip in Beijing and can't be contacted. We need to find a way to get in touch with Secretary Guo. If he is involved, it will be very beneficial to the case.
"Second, we need to strengthen the pressure of public opinion. As I said earlier, the other party is trying to cover up. This kind of thing cannot be exposed. They are probably trying to control the public opinion and narrow the scope of people who know. They are standing in the dark, and we are standing in the light. We are not afraid of the light. So, the bigger the matter, the better. It's best to report it directly to the Provincial Party Committee. My opinion is to ask the media to intervene in this matter and expose it to create pressure from public opinion. I don't think they will dare to go against the law and risk universal condemnation.
"Third, we need to carry out peripheral investigations. First, investigate Zhao Zhigang's whereabouts. Second, investigate the police on duty last night. The police on duty must have lied. We need to find a way to make them tell the truth. Since we can't collect evidence normally, we can use extreme measures. As for Zhao Zhigang, my analysis is that he didn't run far. He might even be hiding in a corner of Nanyang County. As long as we carry out a carpet search, we can definitely find him. "
Lu Yiwei said his three steps in one breath. Zhang Zhiyuan's gloominess was swept away and he immediately became spirited. "Yiwei, your three suggestions are good. Although it's a little difficult, it's worth a try. But you can see the current situation. The other party is a group, and we only have you and me. How can the two of us fight against a group of them? "
