Li Heng understood that merit or demerit was a matter of merit. Given what happened to the Operational Reconnaissance Department this time, it was normal for someone to take the blame afterwards, but he never expected that it would be Lao Zeng who came.
Take the blame yourself.
Facing his surprised gaze, Lao Zeng smiled and pointed at the tea cup that was already filled with water.
Li Heng quickly put down the kettle in his hand, poured out a little water from the teacup, and placed it in front of Lao Zeng. They were all old acquaintances, so there was no need to care too much about the customs.
"Zeng Chu, what's going on? Director Liu won't even protect you, right?"
"It has nothing to do with Director Liu." Lao Zeng smiled and waved his hand and said, "I feel a little tired. Many times I feel inadequate. I might as well take advantage of this opportunity to step down and make room for young people."
Although he said this, Li Heng still saw a flash of unwillingness in his eyes.
"Retire? Zeng Chu, are you overthinking it? It's impossible for you to completely retire at your age, right?"
"Who knows, let's see what the follow-up arrangements are. Anyway, I already submitted the application this morning. Unless there are any special circumstances, this case should be the last one I handle."
Li Heng didn't expect that this guy would say that the wind was like rain, and he handed in the application. It seemed that he was determined by the weight of the scale.
"By the way, brother, we have also found out the old neighbors who had conflicts with you before. They do not know the specific identity of Xie Dong, but Yi Zhonghai and Jia Dongxu participated even though they knew that the other party wanted to harm people.
He even provided a lot of information to the other party, so it was certain that they would go to the farm. The exact number of years they would be sentenced would depend on the court later.
As for Yi Zhonghai's wife and the older woman in the backyard, there is currently no evidence to prove that they knew about this matter. It is estimated that if no new evidence is found, it is more likely that they will be released."
If Li Heng was asked to talk about this matter, he would rather have Yi Zhonghai's wife and the old woman in the backyard sentenced to prison. If the weeds are not removed, the spring breeze will bring new growth. He really doesn't want to see those people again.
Personally, it's like psoriasis, which I can't get rid of.
If Xu Damao hadn't accidentally discovered what they were doing this time, who knows what would have happened next.
So from his personal perspective, he wouldn't think it was excessive to shoot all those people, but from the perspective of the rule of law, Lao Zeng was right.
I can only say that fortunately this time there was no danger, but no matter what, he plans to use his privileges this time, making labor and management worried. If you still want to pretend that nothing happened, that is impossible.
He plans to find relationships from top to bottom. At the very least, he doesn't want to see them here again, no matter who they are.
"Zeng Chu, I heard that you arrested many people in the big operation yesterday. Are they all spies?"
Li Heng avoided that topic and asked about other things.
"Yes, yesterday's harvest was not bad. It was a huge blow to those people. I don't dare to say that I caught them all, but at least half of them will be no problem.
Do you still remember what Tang Zhifei said that day that they had a shocking plan?"
"Yes, didn't he make a condition that as long as his wife and children are not taken over, he will not tell the truth."
"Yeah." Lao Zeng nodded and said, "This time we probably destroyed their plan. I won't tell you the specific content of the plan, but it was indeed a fruitful harvest. The weapons recovered alone are enough."
It’s enough to equip a reinforced platoon, and that doesn’t include explosives and detonators. I can’t even imagine how these things got in.”
Li Heng also felt a toothache when he heard this. What on earth do these people want to do?
"The main thing I want to tell you when I come here today is that some of their assassination plans against you should be over. But you'd better pay more attention in the past few days. Our interrogations are not completely over yet. If you follow up,
If there are any changes, I will notify you in time."
"Thank you Zeng Chu."
"You don't have to be polite to me, brother. I was the one who caused this incident. If it can be solved smoothly, it can be regarded as an explanation from me.
Brother Li, do you want to consider coming to us again? With your judgment and past experience, you will definitely be able to take over the operations department and make it prosperous."
"Come on, my Director Zeng, you are about to jump out of here, why are you still thinking of dragging me down?" Li Heng still refused without even thinking about it.
"I have no interest in taking the blame for others."
"You kid, there's no point in taking the blame for others."
"Haha, Zeng Chu, Mingren don't tell secrets. If I had some good impressions of your semi-military unit before, then through your incident, I can see through it completely.
Even though you are still under military management, you no longer have the same taste as before, and you have begun to play politics.
Having said that, let's just have fun, but the leader doesn't have any courage yet. It's not me. If this continues, who would dare to work for him? If everyone just muddles along in the future, with the intention of doing less and making fewer mistakes, think about the consequences.
What will it be."
Li Heng sneered and shook his head, then picked up the cigarettes on the coffee table, threw one to Lao Zeng, and lit another one for himself.
The reason why Lao Zeng wanted to apply to withdraw was actually not just because they were haunted by ghosts or were under surveillance. These two things were just the cause. The most critical factor was yesterday's big operation. He used himself as an action handler.
The director's maximum authority single-handedly facilitated yesterday's big operation.
The action is easy to carry out, but the end is difficult.
Where is this place, the Forty-Nine City, the best place?
Regardless of the success or failure of the operation, someone must take responsibility for making such a big noise.
According to Li Heng's original idea, since the action has yielded results, and the gains are not small, this responsibility should logically be shouldered by the leaders. It is just a matter of being inspected and being reprimanded.
But what he didn't expect was that this responsibility would be shouldered by Lao Zeng. As a result, he had to apply to quit.
For an old man who has been in this business for decades, this result is definitely not his choice.
When the two of them usually chatted, Li Heng could tell that Lao Zeng had great ambitions in his heart, and his thoughts were very simple, just wanting to catch all the spies in one fell swoop.
But for such a simple-minded person, he was forced to leave the job he loved and worked for for decades because of official business. This is not a tragedy.
In the haze of smoke, the redness in Lao Zeng's eyes seemed heavier than when he first arrived.
