Hou Yongzhi joked with a serious face. "Hang him up and beat him up. Make him starve for three days and three nights, and make him wash the underwear and socks of the veterans."
"Haha … You're really something." Guo Jinzhu laughed heartily while rubbing his belly.
Zhang Zhiyuan was also amused. "I'm more than willing to wash the socks of the two veterans."
"Alright, let's stop chatting." Guo Jinzhu's face darkened. "Yongzhi and I will go back now. I'll leave the rest to you. Report the situation later, okay?"
Hearing that the two leaders were leaving, Zhang Zhiyuan was very reluctant. "Secretary Guo, Secretary Hou, this is your first time here. You should at least have a meal, right?"
Guo Jinzhu waved his hand. "Forget it. Maybe next time. The next time I come, I hope to see a different Nanyang. If it's still the same, then forget it. "
Hou Yongzhi also said, "I hope you'll remember Secretary Guo's painstaking efforts. You're the County Magistrate. You must have the attitude and boldness of a County Magistrate. Do something spectacular. What's there to be afraid of? No matter how big the problem is, Secretary Guo will take care of it for you. Don't let us down. "
Zhang Zhiyuan was shocked. Guo Jinzhu had never said something like this to him before. Today, it was Hou Yongzhi who said it. With someone supporting him, Zhang Zhiyuan naturally had confidence. "Please rest assured, Leaders. If I can't do something, I won't leave Nanyang."
Guo Jinzhu nodded in relief. He did not say anything and walked out of the door. Because there were reporters at the door, Guo Jinzhu quietly left through the back door.
After Guo Jinzhu left, Zhang Zhiyuan was full of confidence. He was ready to go all out. He wanted to see what else Liu Kecheng had to say. When he went downstairs, he saw the Director of the County party committee Office, Dong Guoping, and the Director of the Government Office, Cai Jianguo, trying their best to explain. Even the security guards had pulled up a warning line. Zhang Zhiyuan angrily walked over, pulled the warning line, and shouted, "I'm Zhang Zhiyuan, the County Head of the Nanyang County People's Government. If you have any questions, please ask. I'll answer them one by one."
Hearing that it was the county magistrate, the reporters rushed over at once, holding out their long guns and sprinting. Several TV stations' microphones also came over and began to ask questions. "Hello, County Magistrate Zhang, I'm a reporter from Xijiang Legal Daily. I heard that there were two murders in Nanyang County within two days. One was a petitioner who was stabbed to death, and the other died in prison. May I ask, is this true? If this is the truth, what is the attitude of your Nanyang County? When will the case be solved? "
As soon as the reporter finished speaking, another reporter continued to ask, "County Zhang, I'm a reporter from Xijiang TV Legal Channel. I heard that a criminal police captain was beaten. What's the reason? Is he the culprit of this case? Even if he is the culprit, we're in a legal society now. How can we punish him privately? Please give us a reasonable explanation. "
"County Zhang, I'm a reporter from Xijiang Evening News." Before Zhang Zhiyuan could catch his breath, another reporter jumped up and said, "I heard that there are evil forces in your Nanyang County. There are gangs, Boss Lin, and the people are in fear. As the county magistrate, do you know about this situation? If you know, why didn't you take strong measures to eradicate it in time? Are you the leader of Nanyang acting as an umbrella for the evil forces, and are you one of them? "
…
The reporters were all sharp-tongued, and their questions were straight to the point. They were aggressive. Zhang Zhiyuan felt like there was a fishbone stuck in his throat, and he didn't know how to answer. He comforted them and said, "Dear friends from the media, I will answer your questions one by one later. I will definitely give everyone a satisfactory answer. I'm now dealing with the issues that everyone is concerned about. Once the facts are clear, I will inform everyone immediately, okay? "
Without waiting for the reporters to respond, Zhang Zhiyuan said to Cai Jianguo, who was next to him, "Clear all the rooms in the guest house for our friends from the media. Remember, you must treat them well. If there are any problems, I will hold you responsible." Then he turned to the reporters and said with a smile, "Nanyang County is a national-level poor county. We are poor, so we don't have much to entertain everyone. I hope you don't mind. Please follow this comrade to the guest house for a rest. At 7 o 'clock tonight, I will hold a briefing to answer everyone's questions one by one. Is that okay? "
Since Zhang Zhiyuan had said this, the reporters quieted down and listened to the arrangements. At this time, a reporter from Xijiang TV Station's legal channel stood up and said, "County Zhang, I hope that our TV station can participate in the whole process. We have the right to supervise you."
Zhang Zhiyuan thought it would be better if the media could participate, so he nodded and said, "Okay, I will allow you to participate. Please follow me." After that, he pushed through the crowd, got into the car with the reporters, and drove to the detention center.
Inside the detention center, the atmosphere was gloomy and terrifying. Some of the detained prisoners had dull eyes and were muddle-headed. Seeing that there were outsiders coming in, their eyes instantly burst with the light of longing for freedom. They threw themselves at the iron bars and grabbed the bars tightly with both hands. Their shriveled lips opened and closed, but there was no light of hope.
Zhang Zhiyuan subconsciously frowned and then gently fanned himself with his hand. The detention center was mixed with all kinds of smells, it was very unpleasant. Under Xiao Dingyuan's lead, Zhang Zhiyuan passed through the corridor that was like hell on earth with a heavy heart. He did not know whether to pity or sigh.
In the room at the end of the corridor, Fu Jiangwei was lying on the bed weakly with blood all over his body. Lu Yiwei was feeding him water spoon by spoon. Fu Jiangwei saw Zhang Zhiyuan from the corner of his eyes. He endured the pain and forced himself to get up. Seeing this, Zhang Zhiyuan hurriedly went over to support him and said with heartache, "Comrade Jiangwei, you have suffered."
Fu Jiangwei smiled and pursed his chapped lips. "County Zhang, thank you for coming to see me."
Zhang Zhiyuan held Fu Jiangwei's hand tightly and said, "Comrade Jiangwei, don't worry. I will definitely give you an explanation." After that, he turned to Xiao Dingyuan and said, "Hurry up and send Fu Jiangwei to the hospital."
When the reporter from Xijiang TV Station's legal channel saw this scene, his heart was as heavy as Zhang Zhiyuan's. He then asked the cameraman to turn on the camera and began recording with the prison cell as the background …
Before Fu Jiangwei left, he quietly said to Lu Yiwei, "The sleeping pills in my office are indeed mine, but they have nothing to do with this case. Also, there's a problem with the detention center's Superintendent Li … "
After sending Fu Jiangwei off, Zhang Zhiyuan stood up and said in a firm tone, "Bureau Chief Xiao, arrest all the people involved in this case. You will personally handle the interrogation. Remember, don't accuse a good person, but don't let a bad person go!"
The interrogation began. Xiao Dingyuan separated the police officers on duty that night and conducted a surprise interrogation with the detention center's Superintendent. Lu Yiwei participated in the whole process as the supervisor.
The interrogation was held in the detention center's Superintendent's office. The last time the public security system was reorganized, the only one that was not changed was the detention center's Superintendent. This was something that Zhang Lefei requested Liu Kecheng to keep. As an experienced public security officer, Xiao Dingyuan was quite good at interrogating people. First of all, he used reason and emotion to persuade the detention center's Superintendent. However, the detention center's Superintendent Li was very stubborn and did not fall for it at all. Even if Xiao Dingyuan said everything, he would insist that he did not know and was not clear.
Due to this situation, Xiao Dingyuan did not continue to talk. Instead, he asked the detention center's Superintendent to reflect on himself and report to him when he understood. Then, he went downstairs and concentrated on finding a breakthrough with the police officers on duty.
Xiao Dingyuan changed his method of dealing with the police officers on duty. He found a video recorder and kept playing the deceased's photos and autopsy scenes. In the beginning, the police officers on duty watched the video to relieve their boredom. Later on, they were afraid and simply closed their eyes. After about two hours, there was finally a police officer who broke down and was willing to confess everything he knew.
The police officer on duty trembled and said to Xiao Dingyuan, "Bureau Chief Xiao, if I confess, can I keep my job?"
Xiao Dingyuan's gaze was cold. He knocked on the table with his fingers and said, "What do you think?"
The police officer on duty lowered his head in shame and told him what happened that night.
