Zheng Youfu said, "This was discussed by our family. Is my father's life not worth a million?"
The onlookers, including Li Rui, laughed when they heard this. They could see Zheng Youfu's shamelessness and greed from his words.
Of course, human life was the most precious and priceless. However, when it came to traffic accidents, there was a price. The price was not set by the people themselves, but by the insurance company. For example, if a citizen of a big city like Beijing or Shanghai died in an accident, the insurance company would pay about one million. However, if a citizen of a small city like Wen 'an County in Qingyang City had a household registration, the insurance company would only pay about two hundred thousand. In other words, even if Zheng Youfu's father was really killed by Yao Xuefei, the insurance company would only pay him three hundred thousand at most. However, Zheng Youfu asked for one million. He was really blinded by money.
When Li Rui heard Zheng Youfu say this, he wanted to mock him. He did not expect Zheng Youfu to say this in front of Zhang Taiwei and Yang Changjian. He was really ignorant and fearless.
Zhang Taiwei stood up and said, "Okay, I'll stop here. You sit here and wait for me. I'll be back soon. Don't wander around."
Zheng Youfu said, "I'll go back and stay with my mother. Is that okay?"
Zhang Taiwei said, "No."
Zheng Youfu felt indignant when he saw that Secretary Gong was full of malice towards him and was completely biased towards Yao Xuefei. After a brief pondering, he gritted his teeth and said, "Leader, you might not know this, but Secretary Gong is my father's nephew and my cousin. Secretary Gong has already handed this matter over to your Traffic Police Team's instructor, Feng Kuo." In other words, Zhang Taiwei had no right to be involved in this matter. He also reminded Zhang Taiwei to open his eyes and see his background clearly.
Since Zhang Taiwei was called over by Yang Changjian to help, he was naturally Yang Changjian's trusted aide. He had already learned from Yang Changjian about the background and strength of the various parties involved in this bizarre car accident. He had already made his choice and stood on the side of Yao Xuefei. Therefore, when he heard Zheng Youfu's words, he sneered and said, "Instructors are only responsible for administrative and ideological work. They don't care about the specific tasks. I am the leader in charge of this case."
Zheng Youfu shouted unwillingly, "You have to consider that my cousin is Secretary Gong!"
Zhang Taiwei sneered, "If Mr. Gong knows the truth, he will also ask us to enforce the law impartially!" He then turned around and walked towards the door.
Zheng Youfu was angry and unwilling. He glared at his back with hatred, as if he wanted to stab him to death with his eyes.
Zhang Taiwei, Yang Changjian, and Li Rui walked out of Interrogation Room 2 and entered Interrogation Room 3.
Zheng Youwen was already impatient. When he saw the three of them enter, he was actually very happy. He smiled and said, "Leader, you are finally back. Ask away. I will tell you everything I know."
Zhang Taiwei went straight to the point, "How did your uncle die?"
Zheng Youwen was obviously stunned when he heard this question. He said with a silly expression, "Of course he was killed by a car. Do you still need to ask?"
Zhang Taiwei sneered and said, "Well, you said he was killed by a car. I didn't expect you to not take advantage of the opportunity I gave you. If you continue to lie like this, you will have to bear legal responsibility. "
Zheng Youwen was shocked and said, "What opportunity? What legal responsibility? I … I didn't say anything wrong, right? What did I say wrong? My uncle, he … wasn't he killed by a car? He was lying in front of the car, dripping with blood, just like a pig being slaughtered … "
Zhang Taiwei interrupted, "I am warning you, don't be stubborn."
Zheng Youwen was stunned and smiled, "What … what do you mean? I haven't even said anything … "
Zhang Taiwei said, "You conspired with others to extort money from the person involved. If this crime of extortion is confirmed, you might be sentenced. Are you mentally prepared?"
Zheng Youwen wore a blank look and said, "I … I didn't."
Zhang Taiwei said, "You didn't? Since you didn't, it was clearly your uncle who slammed himself into the car. Why did you say that someone else killed your uncle with a car? "
Zheng Youwen was frightened out of his wits, thinking that the traffic police had obtained key evidence. He exclaimed, "I … I didn't say that. It was my cousin who said it, so I just followed suit. I was called over by him to help. I wasn't around when the old man died, so how would I know how he died? This … This has nothing to do with me. I only contributed some manpower to keep up appearances. My cousin said that he wouldn't let me help for free. He would share some of the money with me. "
Zhang Taiwei said, "Alright, let me ask you again. How's your uncle? Is there anything wrong with him? "
Zheng Youwen frowned and thought for a moment before shaking his head. "I'm not too sure. The old man's health is pretty good. He rides around every day, so there shouldn't be any major problems … Ah, I remember now. He seems to have heart disease and angina. He always carries quick-acting heart pills with him. "
Zhang Taiwei's eyes lit up. "But when I asked your cousin just now, he said that your uncle only has high blood pressure."
Zheng Youwen said, "Heart disease is considered a chronic disease, just like high blood pressure. My cousin might have forgotten. His father just passed away, so his mind is in a mess. It's understandable that he didn't think of it. "
Zhang Taiwei asked again, "Who suggested that the person involved should pay a million to settle this privately?"
Zheng Youwen said awkwardly, "It was my cousin's idea. He said that the person who killed my uncle was a rich woman. Otherwise, she wouldn't have driven an Audi. We can't let such a rich person go. Once we get hold of her, we'll make her pay a million. He even asked us to speak up for her, saying that as long as we can get the compensation, every family and friend will benefit. "
At this point, they couldn't get any more valuable information from Zheng Youwen, so Zhang Taiwei brought Li Rui and Yang Changjian out.
The moment the three of them came out, they bumped into a half-bald man with a gloomy face and an aggressive aura. It was the traffic police instructor, Feng Kuo. Behind him was the section chief of the Accident Management Department, Liu Xiaoyu. It seemed that Liu Xiaoyu had called him over.
"Old Yang, what are you doing?"
Feng Kuo questioned Yang Changjian rudely, then shifted his gaze to Li Rui's face and glared at him with contempt and resentment. As for Zhang Taiwei, he was completely ignored. Clearly, he knew that Yang Changjian and Li Rui were in charge of this matter. Zhang Taiwei was just an errand boy.
Yang Changjian said calmly, "I didn't do anything."
"You didn't do anything? If you didn't do anything, then what are you doing? "
Feng Kuo seemed to be extremely angry. He said hatefully, "The case has already been determined. Why are you still investigating? Why did you have to provoke that person … Don't forget your identity. "
Yang Changjian's face sank. "I always remember my identity. You, on the other hand, do you still remember your identity as a police officer?"
Feng Kuo was extremely angry. He glared at him and said, "Fine, fine. Then continue investigating! But don't blame me for not warning you. If you act recklessly, you won't have a good ending! "He left angrily.
Liu Xiaoyu didn't dare to stay behind and face Yang Changjian and the other team leaders alone, so he quickly chased after Feng Kuo.
Yang Changjian's face darkened as he watched Feng Kuo walk into the office building. When he couldn't be seen, he turned to Li Rui and said, "Director Li, don't lower yourself to his level. Let's do what we should do."
Li Rui smiled and said, "The pressure is already here. Can Captain Yang still handle it?"
Yang Changjian also smiled and said, "I can handle it. Today, not to mention offending Secretary Gong, even if I have to offend all the leaders in the county, I will go all out."
When Zhang Xiaofei, who was behind the two, heard this, he secretly admired Yang Changjian's courage and insight. Although Li Rui had the Municipal Party Committee's Secretary behind him, as the saying goes, "A county official is not as good as a person on the spot." It was difficult for the Municipal Party Committee Secretary to take care of a small traffic police captain in Wen 'an County. Besides, would the Municipal Party Committee Secretary be willing to take action against a county party committee deputy secretary for a captain? Therefore, he was taking a huge risk by doing this. He could be retaliated against by Gong Jinshu at any time. He was worried for his boss.
After chatting, the three of them discussed business in the yard.
Zhang Taiwei said, "We won't be able to get anything out of this group of family members. I'll send someone to the scene of the accident to find out the situation from the witnesses. We'll try to find out the truth as soon as possible and prove Abbot Yao's innocence. "
Li Rui asked worriedly, "If the villagers of the deceased's village are biased towards their fellow villagers and insist that Abbot Yao was the one who hit the old man, what should we do? You're all very experienced in dealing with traffic accidents. Can't you analyze the scene and traces of the accident and do a reconstruction of the accident? "
Zhang Taiwei said, "That's possible, but the scene is on a narrow country road. Under the premise of the villagers watching, the tow truck, and the passing car running over it, it's very likely that it has been destroyed. It won't be complete or even no longer exists."
Li Rui said, "Don't we have photos of the accident scene?"
Zhang Taiwei smiled and said, "Looks like Director Li is very familiar with the traffic police's procedures for handling the scene. That's right, when the traffic police arrive at the scene of the accident, they will take photos of the scene for evidence. But now, there's a problem. "
Li Rui said, "What problem?"
Zhang Taiwei said, "I just heard from Chief Yang that our traffic police also said that Abbot Yao hit the old man and killed him …"
Yang Changjian interrupted, "Needless to say, Instructor Feng Kuo and the Accident Handling Section Chief Liu Xiaoyu have already been instructed by the higher-ups."
