Xu Wenxiang's face was a little surprised at first, but when he heard that Jiang Hao actually wanted to stay overnight, his face suddenly fell.
When Xu Danying saw her father's face, her heart tightened, and she quickly stood up and explained:
"His house is indeed being renovated. He would waste money by staying in a hotel for a few days when he comes back. Since we don't have a room available, I called him over!"
Xu Wenxiang glanced at his daughter, and with his sharp eyes, he instantly noticed the diamond ring accidentally exposed on Xu Danying's finger.
I was stunned.
At this moment, he suddenly felt that his daughter had really grown up.
It seems that at any moment he will fly away from the wings of his parents.
"Well, okay, the guest room is empty anyway."
Xu Wenxiang finally relaxed. In fact, he didn't really agree with Jiang Hao as his son-in-law, and he didn't think they could get together.
When I first heard that Jiang Hao was transferred to Nan Province, I felt a little happy for a while!
It’s not that Jiang Hao is not good!
Putting aside the preconception that he might become his son-in-law, Jiang Hao is definitely an excellent person, and he is a good match for his family.
In addition, he once helped him solve his father's case, and Jiang Hao, a young man, could be treated as a friend due to his emotions and reasons.
But as for the son-in-law~
At once……
The last thing he wanted was for his daughter to become a policeman. As a result, not only did he become a policeman, but he also found another one. Wouldn't this make his old father angry to death?
"Then I'll take him to the room!"
Hey, just let it happen!
Xu Wenxiang sighed in his heart, and then remembered the business. The reason why he was sitting here waiting for his daughter to come back was because he had something to ask her.
Instead, he said: "Wait a minute, is there a man named An Qibing in your bureau today?"
Xu Danying, who was about to take Jiang Hao upstairs, suddenly stopped and turned around and asked:
"Hey, Dad, how do you know?"
Xu Danying was a little curious. Logically speaking, they were not in the same system. What happened at the Public Security Bureau this afternoon, her father in the court would never know so quickly.
"Because I asked him to go."
"What? You asked him to take reporters with him?"
"He also brought reporters?"
When Xu Danying said that An Qibing had brought reporters there, Xu Wenxiang was also stunned.
His original intention was to ask the other party to go to the Public Security Bureau and apply for re-opening of the case for investigation. Unexpectedly, the other party actually brought reporters there. Apparently An Qibing listened to more than just his own opinion.
There are also some smart-aleck people who encourage him to use some unspeakable means.
"Yes, fortunately, Captain Miao's girlfriend notified Shen Quan in time, and the situation was prevented from escalating..."
Later, Xu Danying told her father everything that happened this afternoon.
Xu Wenxiang shook his head and lamented that such an approach was undesirable.
You still have to trust the police, which is also the main reason why you asked him to go.
After Xu Danying explained the cause and effect of the incident, she realized how her father met An Qibing:
"Dad, what on earth is going on?"
"Dad was actually a lawyer twenty years ago, and the last criminal case I represented was him. It was precisely because of this case that I strengthened my belief and became a judge."
It turns out that Xu Wenxiang was An Qibing's criminal defense lawyer in that case 21 years ago.
Over the years, they have kept in touch through letters. An Qibing has always insisted that he did not kill anyone, and Xu Wenxiang also believes that the final judgment of the court that year was too harsh on the defendant.
"The case that year had a very bad social impact. After all, it resulted in two deaths and two serious injuries. However, the existing evidence only includes some witness testimonies and the interrogation records of the public security organs. However, the murder weapon was not found.
There is a lack of objective evidence that can identify An Qibing's crime, so there are doubts about the objectivity and authenticity of An Qibing's guilty confession, and it cannot be used as a basis for finalizing the case. If we follow the principle of pleading guilty,..."
Speaking of this case, Xu Wenxiang also felt helpless. The main reason why he decided to become a judge was because this case touched him greatly.
"This result is obviously unacceptable to the families of the victims, and there is no way to give an explanation to the people of Mazhou. After all, two lives were lost!"
Jiang Hao understood that the judge at the time was also in a difficult position. On the one hand, two of his family members were killed. Although he and his youngest son escaped, they were also permanently traumatized.
On one side is the suspect, who is heavily suspected of committing the crime, but the murder weapon has not been found. Maybe the murderer is cunning and refuses to admit it, or maybe he really didn't do it, but from the perspective of 'the lesser of two evils'
Look, the judge at that time obviously did what the people of Mazhou wanted to see.
but,
"What if he really didn't kill the person?"
Xu Danying said what Jiang Hao wanted to say but...
"The first trial sentenced the death penalty, but An Qibing refused to accept it and filed an appeal. The second trial re-heard the case. Based on the principle of killing less and with caution, the death sentence was suspended. But if you want to change the verdict to not guilty, unless you find the real murderer, it will be... very difficult.
Disaster……"
"Don't worry, Dad, our Shen Bureau has handed over this case to Jiang Haolai to take the lead. He will definitely investigate this case clearly!"
Xu Danying took Jiang Hao's hand and said with some pride, as if this case would be done if it was put into his hands.
The love in her eyes made Xu Wenxiang, an old father, feel as if he had taken a sip of Chen Tan's vinegar that he had collected for twenty-five years.
"It's a coincidence that you came back. Maybe it's God's will."
Xu Wenxiang did not refute. Apart from anything else, he still recognized Jiang Hao's professional qualities. Didn't his daughter come back the day before yesterday and say that Jiang Hao had won the honorary title of one of the top ten outstanding police officers in the country?
The gold content of this title is not low!
There are millions of police officers across the country, which can be said to be thousands of troops crossing a single-plank bridge. And the most important thing is, how long has Jiang Hao been a police officer?
Those who are more senior than him will grab a lot of them!
If Jiang Hao doesn't have any ability and wants to win this award, then he shouldn't even think about it!
"Well, it's up to you!"
Xu Wenxiang stood up from the sofa in the living room, patted Jiang Hao on the shoulder, and went upstairs to the bedroom.
Seeing that her father had returned to the room, Xu Danying took Jiang Hao to the guest room on the first floor.
"You can sleep here tonight, and I'll prepare a toothbrush for you!"
After Xu Danying took Jiang Hao to tidy up, she only dared to interact a little in the room, because she was afraid that her father-in-law's house was not well soundproofed, and it would be completely ruined!
In the end, under the nose of his future father-in-law, Jiang Hao was still not bold enough to do anything outrageous!
Instead, he slept in the guest room for a solid night.
