Chapter 1378 Zhou Chen’s plan ends with Jia Jinlong
Peng Mingjie was furious and stared at Zhou Chen fiercely. If Zhou Chen was not his future son-in-law, he would probably overturn the table on the spot and drive Zhou Chen out.
Surrender?
Are you kidding? Why did he turn himself in? What did he do wrong?
He just did something within the scope of his duties and received some reward. He was not doing any illegal or criminal things such as cheating, abducting or stealing, and he did not endanger anyone's safety.
What's wrong with him?
Facing the angry Peng Mingjie, Zhou Chen was not afraid at all, and looked at him without retreating at all.
From Peng Mingjie's eyes and attitude, he guessed what Peng Mingjie was thinking. In other words, he had met many people similar to Peng Mingjie, so after exposing them, he could understand their psychological activities.
Peng Mingjie actually knew that his behavior was against discipline, but in the face of interests, he still couldn't control himself. After doing it, he used various reasons to comfort and deceive himself and relieve the guilt and depression in his heart.
As time went by, he gradually became accustomed to self-deception and felt that what he did was not a bad thing.
Zhou Chen could understand that even he himself had done similar things, because when he had the strength and power, he would also do things like those of outlaws, whether in ancient times or modern times.
It's like killing someone, his hands are stained with blood. If it were in today's society ruled by law, he would have been sentenced to death hundreds of thousands of times.
It is precisely because of this that he advised Peng Mingjie to surrender. After all, living in this society ruled by law, as a member, you must abide by the rules and laws.
Of course, the most important thing is that he knows that if Peng Mingjie doesn't act first and is eventually exposed, the consequences will be serious.
The two looked at each other for a long time. The anger on Peng Mingjie's face slowly dissipated, but his expression became extremely cold.
"Uncle, have you calmed down?"
"snort."
Peng Mingjie snorted coldly. He was so angry that he didn't like Zhou Chen now.
"If it weren't for Lili's sake, I would have kicked you out."
"What a coincidence. If it weren't for Lili's sake, I wouldn't care about your life or death."
"you."
"Okay, uncle, don't be angry. What's there to be angry about as a family? Now that you've calmed down, why don't you listen to me?"
"Who is your family?"
Peng Mingjie looked dissatisfied, but he didn't get angry again. He waited for Zhou Chen to continue with a stern expression.
Zhou Chen said slowly: "When I asked you to surrender, I didn't ask you to surrender and plead guilty directly, but to confess your private investigation and actions."
"?"
Peng Mingjie was confused by Zhou Chen's words: "Wait a minute, what did you say? What do you mean by private investigation and action?"
Zhou Chen's eyes were still intact and he continued: "As the warden, you have been dealing with criminals in the prison all year round. A few years ago, you suddenly learned from an inmate in the prison that the leader of the drug trafficking case may be in Harbin, but because
There was no conclusive evidence, and I was afraid of alerting others, so I didn’t report it, but I slowly investigated it privately.”
"In order to break into the enemy's nest, you decided to take bribes. You have collected a lot of bribes over the past few years, but because you felt deeply guilty, you never spent them and hid them. Until recently, you discovered the traces of drug dealers, so you didn't want to
If I continued, I wanted to confess all this, so I chose to surrender."
"???"
Even someone like Peng Mingjie couldn't help but open his mouth wide at this moment and looked at Zhou Chen with incredible eyes.
"You, you, you know what you're talking about?"
Zhou Chen asked back: "Uncle, this is something you did yourself, why are you asking me again?"
Peng Mingjie pointed at himself and raised his voice: "Why don't I know what I did?"
Zhou Chen suddenly laughed: "Don't you know it now?"
Peng Mingjie's pupils shrank, and he somewhat understood what Zhou Chen meant.
"You want me to lie? Are you crazy? Let's not say that I didn't do this at all. Even if I surrender, do you think anyone will believe it if I tell you this? I don't believe it myself. I think you are really crazy.
Come on, you guys who work as criminal police are not mentally normal?"
"Uncle, Uncle Ma is also a criminal police officer."
Peng Mingjie said angrily: "He is also mentally disturbed."
Without talking about this with Peng Mingjie, Zhou Chen asked: "Uncle, you should understand what I mean, right?"
It has been said so straightforwardly, how could Peng Mingjie not understand, but because he understood that Zhou Chen deliberately wanted to excuse him, he felt even more incomprehensible.
"Whether I was taking bribes or trying to investigate drug dealers, any normal person can tell the truth from the lies."
"So what? Sometimes authenticity is important, but sometimes it is not so important. We paid back the bribes in full and investigated the drug trafficking organization. This is a great contribution. Compared with this, accepting bribes is not that important.
What's the point? Not to mention, you still voluntarily surrendered."
Hearing Zhou Chen's words, Peng Mingjie couldn't help feeling a chill on his back and numb scalp.
"Did you just come up with this plan, or have you already thought of it a long time ago? Did Lao Ma tell you about me?"
Zhou Chen lied: "Just think I just thought of it."
Peng Mingjie was moved. He had not had any trouble for so many years since he accepted the bribe, but he also understood that this kind of thing was always a sword hanging over his head, and he might not know which day it would fall, so he just didn't go.
Just because you think about it or don’t dare to think about it doesn’t mean you’re not worried.
Zhou Chen suddenly gave him such an idea. Even though it sounded ridiculous, he was still moved.
"Even if I'm willing to listen to you, I don't know where those drug dealers are, let alone their organization. There's nothing I can do if I want to make a crime out of it."
Zhou Chen showed an expression of wisdom and said something that made Peng Mingjie change his face.
"I know."
Peng Mingjie's eyes widened and he lost his voice: "You know? You mean, you have found out that drug dealer?"
"Of course, otherwise I wouldn't have given you this idea."
This unexpected answer made Peng Mingjie unable to calm down. If, if what Zhou Chen said was true, then...
"Is it really possible?"
Zhou Chen gave him another blow: "You have to do it even if you don't. At this point, do you really hope that your affairs will not be exposed? Once the bribery incident is exposed, you should know what will happen.
Maybe you don’t care about the consequences, but what about Lili? Do you want Lili to be looked down upon by others because she has a father who is in jail?”
Peng Mingjie clenched his fists suddenly. His daughter was his lifeblood. He could not care about anything else, but he could not ignore his daughter who had been dependent on him since childhood.
He has worked in prisons for decades and is very aware of the criticism that the children and relatives of criminals will suffer, so he never wants his daughter to become like that.
"Instead of having your destiny in the hands of others, it's better to hold it in your own hands. Uncle, you dare to accept bribes, don't you have the courage to fight for your daughter?"
Zhou Chen knew that as long as Peng Yongli was moved out, Peng Mingjie would seriously consider it, which would be more useful than a hundred words of persuasion from him.
Peng Mingjie closed his eyes and was silent for a long time. Then he suddenly stood up, walked to the cabinet next to him, and looked at the photo of himself and his daughter.
"good."
…………
A few days later, the Criminal Police Brigade of Harbin Railway Public Security Bureau.
Both Peng Mingjie and Zhou Chen were restricted to the criminal police brigade and were not allowed to go out. Zhou Chen was better off. After all, he had the status of the captain of the criminal police squadron. Apart from being watched, everything else was free. However, Peng Mingjie, as a person who surrendered for prosecution
, is under very strict supervision by the criminal police team.
Because what Peng Mingjie said shocked them very much, and the matters he was involved in were not just simple small cases, but extremely complex major cases.
A few days before surrendering to the criminal police team, Zhou Chen and Peng Mingjie slightly improved this plan that was full of loopholes.
Fortunately, Peng Mingjie had a habit. Although he accepted bribes, he kept a record of every account, and the total amount of money was clearly stated.
Naturally, Peng Mingjie didn't have that much, but Zhou Chen had money and helped Peng Mingjie collect some, so every cent of the 'illegal money' was worth it.
Therefore, even if the investigators know that Peng Mingjie's statement is not credible, considering that the stolen money is quite large and he has achieved great achievements, he will definitely be dealt with lightly. At the very least, he will never be imprisoned like in the TV plot.
Zhou Chen is quite familiar with domestic laws, especially in the 1980s, when the laws are not as strict as those of later generations, and there are many areas that can be used.
Naturally, the police could not believe what Peng Mingjie said, so they immediately launched an investigation, especially a comprehensive investigation into the drug dealers Peng Mingjie said.
During this period, the criminal police team and the anti-narcotics police were very busy, and they also contacted the police in many places to coordinate the investigation.
