"County Magistrate Ma, please take a seat." Peng Qingshan also became polite. Sometimes, the relationship between people was very inexplicable. Congeniality was a kind of unreasonable thing. Some people might be together for a lifetime, but they might not be destined to be together. Some people could become friends as soon as they met. Now, Peng Qingshan had an indescribable feeling toward Ma Yingjie. This feeling was probably a kind of fate. Moreover, he didn't like Su Xiaoyang. The moment he got the information about Ma Yingjie, he didn't believe that Ma Yingjie would accept gifts in Qin County so blatantly for money. However, because this was his job, and Secretary Shi Lei had repeatedly emphasized that he had to carefully examine this report, he had to seriously implement this report. Therefore, he hurried to Qin County with several staff members in the case room.
Peng Qingshan also wanted to know how true this report was. If it was true, then Ma Yingjie would destroy his own future. If it was false, he thought that he couldn't let Ma Yingjie take the blame.
Ma Yingjie said "Thank you" to Peng Qingshan and sat down. Peng Qingshan asked Ma Yingjie, "You bought a set of dust collection equipment worth more than one million yuan for Qin County No.1 Cement Factory, right?"
"Yes. It was just installed the day before yesterday. " Ma Yingjie answered with certainty. However, he didn't understand why Peng Qingshan asked this first question.
Peng Qingshan's heart sank. What was reflected on the report was true. Peng Qingshan continued to ask, "You received five hundred thousand yuan from Qin Wangxi, the No.1 Cement Factory in Qin County, right?"
"The money Boss Qin gave me was for the purchase of the dust collection equipment. The equipment cost more than one million yuan. The first eight hundred thousand yuan was paid by me and Director Li Xiaomei of the Environmental Protection Bureau. In order to pay for it, Director Li even mortgaged her house to the bank, "Ma Yingjie explained.
Peng Qingshan's heart sank more and more. Ma Yingjie fell into the trap set by others, and the person who set the trap had collected evidence about Ma Yingjie. Sometimes, fake evidence could kill people more easily than real evidence.
"In other words, you have received five hundred thousand yuan in cash from Qin Wangxi." Peng Qingshan asked with uncertainty.
"Yes." Ma Yingjie did receive five hundred thousand yuan from Qin Wangxi.
"So this receipt is signed by you, right?" Peng Qingshan took out a copy of the receipt with Ma Yingjie's signature and sent it to Ma Yingjie. Ma Yingjie looked at it and said, "This is the receipt I sent to Boss Qin. He did pay five hundred thousand yuan for the dust collection equipment."
"The dust collection equipment is a pile of scrap iron. It was painted with a new layer of paint. But you sold this pile of scrap to Qin Wangxi and received five hundred thousand yuan from him. The evidence is conclusive. Do you have any explanation, Head Ma? "Peng Qingshan hinted to Ma Yingjie. He wanted Ma Yingjie to know that he was set up by others.
As expected, Ma Yingjie was stunned and dumbfounded. He didn't expect Li Xiaomei to be with them. Then how did the evidence he sent to Li Xiaomei fall into their hands? And Lili, would she fall into their hands? Oh my god, it was so horrible. Li Xiaomei, whom he trusted so much, was actually a chess piece they set up to trap him. How could he believe it so easily? Why didn't he suspect that the equipment was fake? Was it because Li Xiaomei mortgaged her house? Or was it because Li Xiaomei was a beautiful woman? When it came to beautiful women, men would never put up their guard against them.
A kind of bitterness and panic that he had never felt before made Ma Yingjie's back break out in a cold sweat. He was too careless. He trusted a woman too easily. This time, he was dead. But, but what about Luan Xiaoxue? If they hurt Luan Xiaoxue, if they got the evidence of Luan Xiaoxue's baby, if Ran Bingbing killed Luan Xiaoxue's baby, Ma Yingjie didn't dare to think further. One wrong step led to many wrong steps. How could he trust Li Xiaomei so easily?
Ma Yingjie's face turned pale. He looked at Peng Qingshan, and Peng Qingshan also looked at him. Ma Yingjie suddenly stood up from the chair. The other two police officers immediately came over and held Ma Yingjie down. Ma Yingjie helplessly lowered his head.
Ma Yingjie realized how inexperienced he was. When Qin Wangxi took the initiative to give him 500,000 yuan, why didn't he have any doubts? When Li Xiaomei mortgaged her house, why didn't he have any doubts? Why didn't he check the dust collection equipment himself? Why didn't he think more about it when it was so smooth and successful? Now, it was useless to say anything. In front of the evidence, in front of the 500,000 yuan cash card, all of Ma Yingjie's defense was meaningless.
"What else can you say, County Magistrate Ma?" Peng Qingshan looked at Ma Yingjie and asked sympathetically.
"Thank you." Ma Yingjie lowered his head and weakly spat out these two words. Since they had arranged everything, was it useful for him to explain in front of Peng Qingshan? What he was most worried about now was not himself, but Luan Xiaoxue. What about Luan Xiaoxue? His mind was full of Luan Xiaoxue's shadow. He really wanted to beg Peng Qingshan to give him a minute to call Luan Xiaoxue and ask Luan Xiaoxue to run away quickly.
"Can, can I make a phone call?" Ma Yingjie looked at Peng Qingshan and asked for help. Peng Qingshan's heart sank again. He knew that Ma Yingjie was indeed set up, but how could he help Ma Yingjie? He was not the only one in the investigation team. In this case, it was undoubtedly his dereliction of duty to ask Ma Yingjie to make a phone call. But if he took Ma Yingjie away like this, would he still have a chance to defend himself? Secretary Shi Lei's meaning was very clear. Secretary Shi Lei wanted to punish Ma Yingjie severely. Peng Qingshan was a little embarrassed. He wanted to agree with Ma Yingjie and ask Ma Yingjie to find an excuse to go to the toilet, but Ma Yingjie didn't have such a consciousness. Ma Yingjie just looked at him in a daze. Peng Qingshan shook his head and said, "No."
Ma Yingjie's head drooped again. At this time, the office door was pushed open. Peng Qingshan was about to lose his temper when Luo Kang, the office director of the Commission for Discipline Inspection, came in.
"Why is he here?" Peng Qingshan was stunned, but he quickly stood up and smiled at Luo Kang. "Director Luo is here. Thank you for your hard work, Director Luo."
Luo Kang was Shi Lei's most trusted person. Shi Lei didn't trust Peng Qingshan at first, but Shi Lei sent his trusted aide. Peng Qingshan then realized that he had fallen into a big trap. Fortunately, he didn't ask Ma Yingjie to make the phone call. Fortunately, he didn't violate the organization's rules.
Luo Kang nodded at Peng Qingshan as a greeting. His gaze fell directly on Ma Yingjie. Ma Yingjie looked like a defeated rooster, which was basically the look of all the cadres under investigation. It seemed like Ma Yingjie had confessed. Of course, in the face of evidence, Ma Yingjie had to admit to it.
"County Mayor Ma," Luo Kang called Ma Yingjie coldly. Ma Yingjie raised his head, his eyes filled with despair.
"Come with us," Luo Kang added.
"I didn't order the dust collection equipment," Ma Yingjie was agitated. "The evidence in your hands isn't real. You can't take me away."
"Hmph," Luo Kang sneered. Then, he threw another document in front of Ma Yingjie. The gift money he received when he was hospitalized was recorded on it. There was also a record of the gift money his father received in Linhe Town. Ma Yingjie was not afraid of the gift money he received because Luan Xiaoxue had the receipt for the donation to Hope Primary School. However, why would his father accept the gift money? Was Mayor Gao one of their people?
"That's impossible. My father wouldn't accept the gift money. " Ma Yingjie's voice rose a few octaves. He had already found out that they had been setting up a trap for a long time. However, he wanted to know how they set up the trap. He tried his best to deny everything.
"Let me play a recording for you." Luo Kang took out a recording pen and Ma Yingjie's mother's voice was heard. "The organization is very concerned about my father. They even sent so many gifts and money. Thank you so much."
Ma Yingjie was having a headache. Peng Qingshan was also having a headache. It turned out that Shi Lei's order to interrogate Ma Yingjie was just a formality. The important evidence was sent by someone else. It turned out that they were trying to get information from a village woman. This time, Ma Yingjie might not be able to escape.
Ma Yingjie was brought to another car by Luo Kang. It was obvious that they wanted to turn this report into an ironclad case. Now, all the evidence was against Ma Yingjie. Peng Qingshan could not do anything even if he wanted to. However, he did not want to be fooled by Shi Lei. Moreover, he believed that Ma Yingjie did not know that there was a problem with the dust collection equipment. Ma Yingjie's agitation and loss of control told him that someone had set up a trap for Ma Yingjie, and he had been neglected.
Peng Qingshan was thinking hard in the other car. He was not willing to let Ma Yingjie be taken away just like that. He was even more unwilling to be distrusted by Shi Lei again and again. He pretended to close his eyes and rest, but his brain did not stop working. If the dust collection equipment was not personally purchased by Ma Yingjie, it could prove that Ma Yingjie had nothing to do with this incident. However, Luo Kang had obtained the list of gifts that Ma Yingjie had received and the recording of Ma Yingjie's mother. This was enough for them to convict Ma Yingjie. He decided to look for Luo Tianyun after returning to Wu Du. He wanted to tell Luo Tianyun about his worries. Other than Luo Tianyun, no one else could save Ma Yingjie at this time. However, he would get Liu Feng, his classmate from Qin County, to look for evidence again. Since Shi Lei distrusted him so much, he had to use this opportunity to get on Luo Tianyun's good side. Peng Qingshan was a little excited when he thought about this. As long as he could get Ma Yingjie's evidence to prove his innocence, he would be the hero of this case. Whether it was Luo Tianyun or Ma Yingjie, they would remember his kindness. Of course, if he did not get Ma Yingjie's evidence and Shi Lei found out that he was investigating in secret, he would not have an easy time. The greater the danger, the greater the deal. Peng Qingshan cheered for himself in his heart.
