Shuxin frowned slightly. The other party's calculations were very accurate. There were witnesses and material evidence. This matter was indeed a little tricky. Shuxin lowered her eyes and thought for a moment. "Have you talked to Zhang Wenhai?"
Li Yang nodded. "We've talked to him. We've also analyzed the pros and cons for him. But it's like he's made up his mind. He just won't let it go. He insists that it was Teacher who took his money. He can't live with his conscience, so he wants to expose Teacher even if he has to be charged with bribery."
Shuxin narrowed her eyes. "Who do you think is most likely to frame Uncle Tong?"
Li Yang thought for a moment and shook his head. Teacher was very sincere and popular. He couldn't think of anyone who was against Teacher in the past. That was why he was at a loss.
Shuxin's slender fingers tapped rhythmically on the table. This was a small action she often did when she was thinking about a problem. "Who is Du Guohua?"
Li Yang didn't know why Shuxin suddenly changed the topic to Du Guohua. There was confusion in his eyes, but he still answered seriously. "Secretary Du is Teacher's best friend and also a colleague who works with him."
"He's also a secretary now?"
"Yes."
Shuxin paused for a moment. She recalled Tong Qiao's words and asked again, "Is the army going to choose a secretary-general soon?"
"Yes."
"Then who has the highest chance of becoming the secretary-general this time?"
"Of course it's Teacher." Li Yang's face was full of pride. His eyes were full of respect and admiration for Tong Wenbin. "Teacher is serious in his work, kind, noble, selfless …"
"Other than Uncle Tong?" Shuxin interrupted Li Yang's endless praise.
"Other than the teacher …" Li Yang had never thought about this question. After a moment of silence, he said, "Then it's Secretary Du …" At this point, a guess suddenly flashed through Li Yang's mind. He also somewhat understood why Shu Xin asked these questions. "You mean Secretary Du, he …"
Shuxin didn't say anything. There was a thoughtful look in her eyes.
In the beginning, Zhang Wenhai denied it because he was afraid of going to jail, but he couldn't get away with it. Someone must have promised him some benefits behind his back, so he admitted to the crime and dragged Tong Wenbin down with him.
And the person who promised him benefits was definitely Du Guohua.
Shuxin knew from the news in her previous life that Du Guohua had framed Tong Wenbin. However, she only knew the result and had no evidence. Even if she said it out loud, no one would believe her.
That was why she needed to understand the ins and outs of the matter. Now, Du Guohua had the motive to do so.
This was the first step to make people suspect Du Guohua.
Li Yang had never thought of Du Guohua before. Now that Shuxin had mentioned it, there were indeed many suspicious points. After the incident this time around, because Chief Lu had gone out on an urgent mission, Chief of Staff He was in charge of the military while Secretary Du assisted him.
After the incident, Secretary Du was very shocked. He said that it was impossible for his teacher to do such a thing. However, when he really did it, he suggested to Chief of Staff He that this was an internal matter in the army. In order to prevent it from spreading and affecting the army's reputation, they should settle it as soon as possible.
Since they were best friends, shouldn't he be looking for evidence of him not accepting bribes? Even if he wasn't looking for evidence, shouldn't he be stalling for time? But, he was urging him to settle it as soon as possible. That was clearly not right.
But, that was just a guess. They had no evidence at all.
