Chapter 256 Irrefutable Evidence
I had to say that although Zhu Jian’s moral quality was not good, his physical quality was quite good.
He was kicked by Xiao Nuo but didn’t get much harm. He rolled on the ground and climbed up. Then he wanted to jump over, but the police laid him down and handcuffed him from behind.
Zhu Jian had lost his head, and he scolded, “D*mn, you dared to plot against me. My brother-in-law will not let you go. And I am going to kill all of your family.”
“Director Feng, is this what you call a good policeman for the public?”
Qi Ruoxian opened the door and came in, he looked mockingly at Feng Yuanqiao behind him.
Feng Yuanqiao’s face was ghastly pale, and he scolded, “Shut up.”
Although Zhu Jian seemed to obey his brother-in-law Feng Yuanqiao, he was still very dependent on him.
As soon as he saw Feng Yuanqiao coming in, he felt like to see the savior and cried bitterly, “Brother-in-law, you must save me. I am your little brother-in-law. Ding Ning framed me. You must help me kill him.”
“Pa!” With a slap on Zhu Jian’s face, Feng Yuanqiao became very angry and shouted with a red face. “Fu*king shut up!”
Only at this time did Zhu Jian realized that something was unnatural. “The plain-clothes man standing there with a straight face looks familiar.”
As he looked again, he found that the chief of Munic.i.p.al Police Bureau, Qi Ruoxian, came here. Suddenly, his face became white and bloodless, and he thought he was done.
But he reconsidered that when he interrogated Ding Ning, the monitor was closed. Even if Ding Ning wanted to accuse him, he had no evidence. The only witness, Liu Qiang also sided with him. So he immediately shouted, “Director Qi, I am wronged. I am wronged.”
“Be wronged? Extorting confessions by torture and beating people, you still say you are wronged?”
Qi Ruoxian’s face became very gloomy. “Sh*t! Zhu Jian really has a virtue with Feng Yuanqiao, and his lies come at will.”
If Ding Ning hadn’t provided video and ample evidence, he couldn’t believe the police officers were so bold.
“He’s the murder, but not pleads guilty yet. I just used some means to solve the case. Even if I have a violation, you don’t have to point a gun at my head. Director Qi, I am dedicated to the public and never selfish. I am willing to accept any punishment for my violation, but Ding Ning must be a murderer.”
Zhu Jian was sure that Ding Ning could not testify to him, so he shouted for exculpating himself from the trouble while trying to drag Ding Ning into the matter. He hated Ding Ning, even if he were in prison, he would not let Ding Ning feel better.
Although Feng Yuanqiao knew that his wisest way at this time was not to answer, he got a signal from Zhu Jian’s argument that Zhu Jian had not disclosed anything except that extorting confessions by torture.
He took a step forward and said with shame, “Director Qi, my work has not been done well. I did not expect Zhu Jian to be so bold as to extort a confession by torture. I am willing to accept any punishment from the organization, but… This case involves two lives, and the suspect does not plead guilty, even if the evidence is confirmed. Although the means are wrong, it is not a big deal.”
He knew very well that Zhu Jian made a fault of extorting confessions by torture as long as the planting of stolen goods and the framing of others were not exposed, he was subject to an internal punishment at most. After a period of suspension, he could get back to work.
Although it was against the rules to extort confessions by torture, almost all police stations had used the means to solve cases when facing hard-spoken criminals. Everyone knew it.
“Isn’t it a big deal to extort confessions by torture? Ha-ha, I really don’t know how you work. How could you say such words?”
Secretary Xu had been following the big leader for many years and had cultivated the habit of being indifferent to joy and anger. But when he heard Feng Yuanqiao’s words, he still couldn’t help his anger and said these words.
Feng Yuanqiao frowned. He was not familiar with Secretary Xu. And he thought he was following Qi Ruoxian. Hence, Feng Yuanqiao said unhappily, “I’m reporting to Director Qi. Why did you interrupt me?”
Ding Ning was surprised and almost laughed. Feng Yuanqiao was really bold. It seemed that even if the government wanted to leave him a way out, he would not seize this opportunity.
Who was Secretary Xu? He was the secretary of the most powerful people in Ninghai, who was also known as the No. 2 Chief.
Even if Director Qi’s administrative rank was higher than that of Secretary Xu, he should be polite to him, let alone a director of a Police Station Sub-bureau. After all, n.o.body dared to offend the secretary who could whisper with the leader at any time? This Feng Yuanqiao really brought about his own destruction.
Sure enough, before Secretary Xu became angry, Qi Ruoxian got angry and said, “Feng Yuanqiao, how did you talk to Secretary Xu?” Apologize quickly.”
“Xu… Secretary Xu? Secretary Xu of Mayor Du?”
Feng Yuanqiao saw Qi Ruoxian suddenly getting angry, with anxiety in his eyes. His thought was like a flash of lightning. He was suddenly aware that the man in front of him now was Secretary Xu, the Mayor Du’s secretary.
No wonder the man looked familiar. He thought Secretary Xu was Qi Ruoxian’s a.s.sistant. It was all over now.
Feng Yuanqiao’s face became white and bloodless. He even denounced the mayor’s secretary as a n.o.body and made himself in trouble. His career was dangerous.
He immediately bowed his head in fear and apologized, “I’m sorry, Secretary Xu, but I’m so blind that I didn’t recognize you. It was my fault. I’m sorry, I’m sorry…”
“Well, I cannot accept your apology. The public security system is the government organ to maintain public order. The police are the public servants of the people and serve the ma.s.ses. I’m not qualified to interrupt. After all, I’m only a small secretary. But if the ma.s.ses of the people response problems to you, don’t they even have the right to speak?
Secretary Xu’s words cut into Feng Yuanqiao’s heart, liver, and lungs like a knife. Even though he was very painful, he still had to show an ugly smile on his face which looked worse than crying, to listen to Secretary Xu’s sarcasm and to keep wiping the cold sweat on his forehead.
“Well, the truth of the matter is not tolerated by your cunning. Let’s talk with evidence.”
Qi Ruoxian couldn’t help himself. If it weren’t for the government’s image, he would like to dismiss Feng Yuanqiao now.
Fearing that this fool’s sophistry would affect the whole public security system, he quickly changed the topic and published the evidence directly, so that Feng Yuanqiao could give up saving Zhu Jian.
But he made a decision in his heart. Even if it was inconvenient to deal with Feng Yuanqiao now, he should transfer him to an incompetent position as soon as possible so as to avoid him not to make any mistakes.
The criminal policemen quickly brought a laptop. Two deputy directors of the sub-bureau also came to see Feng Yuanqiao’s depressed look, and they felt delighted.
Feng Yuanqiao was a director with a strong sense of control. Since he served as the director of the Jingpu Police Station Sub-bureau, he had the final say in the office. The two deputy directors had no right in their hands. Everything had to go through his approval. Even Zhu Jian did not care the two deputy directors at all, which had dissatisfied them for a long time.
Zhao Gang solved several major cases during the period of tenuring as a criminal police captain, but Feng Yuanqiao stole all his contributions, which became the capital for his promotion later on.
At this moment, they were very happy to see that Feng Yuanqiao made such a mistake. If they were not afraid of the background of Feng Yuanqiao, they would like to report him right now.
The laptop clearly showed the whole process that Zhu Jian was bribed and framed Ding Ning.
First, there was a conversation between Feng Yuanqiao and Zhu Jian in the office. Then Zhu Jian called outside the police station to bargain.
Then he connected with a man wearing sungla.s.ses and masks. The man gave him the weapon that killed Yang Kaishan.
Next, he instructed Liu Qiang to take out a weapon contaminated with Yang Kaishan’s blood while searching Ding Ning’s car.
At last, Ding Ning kept luring Zhu Jian into telling the truth in the interrogation room. Zhu Jian was so greedy that he easily fell into Ding Ning’s trap and his ugly face was at a glance.
Feng Yuanqiao bowed his head like a deflated ball. He scolded that Zhu Jian was a pig. As a criminal policeman, Zhu Jian was photographed without even knowing it.
He looked at Ding Ning, and he felt afraid. How did he make it? He even installed a camera in his office. He was finished this time.
Fortunately, although he hinted that Zhu Jian had framed others, those obscure words were not enough to convict him. At most, they could only accuse him of sheltering Zhu Jian.
At this moment, he was already a clay Bodhisattva crossing the river, and he was hard to protect himself. He didn’t want to protect Zhu Jian any longer. His mind whirled, wondering how he could pull himself out of this matter.
Zhu Jian’s face became white and bloodless. With his dull glaze, he murmured, “It is impossible, why I didn’t know that I was photographed? How did he make it?”
So, how did he make it? Not only Zhu Jian wanted to know, but even Qi Ruoxian and Secretary Xu and all the criminal police here wanted to know.
“If we know how he made it, then no cases cannot be solved.”
Unfortunately, Ding Ning would never tell them anything. He only smiled mysteriously and remained indifferent.
He couldn’t tell them that he had the “golden finger,” his professional photographer Xiaocui, right?
The only person who wasn’t surprised was Xiao Nuo. She knew that Ding Ning was a man with a big secret. It was not surprising that he could do it.
“Zhu Jian, I am from State Council Office for Rectifying of the Munic.i.p.al Discipline Commission. This is my certificate. Please go with me.”
Finally, when the video was finished, several plain-clothes men behind Secretary Xu showed their credentials and took away the flabbergasted Zhu Jian.
Originally, Zhu Jian did not need to be dealt with by the comrades of the Munic.i.p.al Discipline Commission. The District Discipline Commission and the Inspection Section within the Public Security Department could handle this case. But Mayor Du personally a.s.signed Secretary Xu to be responsible for this case. n.o.body dared to despise it.
This was probably the easiest case they had ever handled since they started to work in the Discipline Commission. After all, no case had been so well doc.u.mented.
Of course, they still had a lot of investigation and evidence-gathering work to do in the latter period. For example, who on earth was the man to give the murder weapon to Zhu Jian for framing Ding Ning? They needed to check all of this and investigated according to the situation they had mastered.
Xiao Nuo volunteered to investigate the case of malicious planting of murderous evidence and framing by police officers in collusion with vicious power. People in the Munic.i.p.al Criminal Team would cooperate with the comrades of the Discipline Commission.
Since the murder weapon was handed over by the mysterious man to Zhu Jian, it showed that he was probably the murderer. This case had become a criminal case, and the intervention of the criminal police team was also reasonable.
Liu Qiang and several criminal policemen who usually collaborated with Zhu Jian were also taken away. They worked for Zhu Jian and took many benefits from him. They would also pay for what they did.
After careful observation, the two deputy directors found that Director Qi had no intention of punishing Feng Yuanqiao for the time being. After looking at each other, they formed a tacit understanding and didn’t say anything.
But in the following days, materials against Feng Yuanqiao constantly appeared in the Discipline Commission’s report box anonymously. Finally, he was also toppled.
