Chapter 55 Jurisprudence and Reasonable Choice (2)
The next day.
For members of the task force, today is the most painful day.
Since Boss Qian said everything during the live broadcast of the executioner's candid filming, the leaders of the Procuratorate took this matter very seriously and immediately ordered people to seal up Director Jin's home, and dispatched search section personnel the next day.
Conduct a search of the house.
This is an old community built in the 1990s. Four special case handling vehicles from the Procuratorate were parked downstairs of the unit. A dozen members of the Search Section entered Director Jin’s home and placed all the valuable items found in the living room.
, after finally checking all the items based on the market price of the day, everyone looked at each other.
4369 yuan.
Excluding the basic salary and sunshine allowance in Director Jin's salary card, this is the total estimated value of all the luxury goods that investigators searched from his home.
These anti-corruption investigators are veterans with sharp eyesight. In any case they handle, no matter whether corrupt officials hide stolen goods under the floor, in the cracks of furniture, or even in hidden compartments between walls, nothing escapes their eyes.
But today they were dumbfounded. After repeated confirmations, they finally gave a fair valuation of the few gold rings and necklaces owned by Director Jin's wife: 4,369 yuan.
In addition, there are no gems, calligraphy and paintings, tobacco, alcohol and luxury bags. This amount of money is not confiscated from the national treasury. It does not even meet the 5,000 yuan standard for a public official to receive a bribe, let alone from these gold and silver.
The jewelry looks like it is at least 20 years old.
In the corridor, Xu Tiannan and several others were silently accompanying Director Jin's wife. At this time, Mrs. Jin looked haggard and was sitting on a chair in despair, staring at the case investigators who were coming in and out, regardless of any materials handed over by the other party.
She signed her name blankly without even looking at it.
In the room, the sound of an electric drill hitting the wall suddenly came, and the huge noise shook the entire corridor.
"Hey! Hey!"
Zheng Jianghu finally couldn't help it anymore, rushed into the house and yelled at the other party, shouting angrily: "What are you doing! Do you really think this is a single-family villa? This is a shear wall, who the hell is stupid to do this?
This is the kind of place where you dig holes to hide money!”
The case handler stopped what he was doing, glanced at Zheng Jianghu, and said seriously: "I'm sorry, please give way and don't hinder our work."
"I'm in your way, uncle!" Zheng Jianghu, wearing high-top marine boots with steel plates, kicked away the electric drill and angrily said, "Zhao has a big mouth! I gave you face, didn't I?"
The scout named Zhao Dazui was a former member of Zheng Jianghu's team. He used to be taken care of by him at work. Later, he always got into trouble because of his sloppy work. He was confused during an arrest operation and was stabbed by the suspect.
The knife almost cut off his life.
After that incident, Zheng Jianghu was afraid, and Director Jin was also afraid. After having no choice but to communicate with the leaders of the Procuratorate, Zhao Dazui was transferred to the Search Section of the Procuratorate, which can be regarded as a safer position than before.
At this time, Zhao Dazui saw that Zheng Jianghu was angry, and immediately became scared.
He pulled Zheng Jianghu aside and whispered: "Brother! There are so many people here, can you give me some face? This is my brother's first mission after being transferred here. You saw it too. Today we searched and found out
The little thing I received is not even enough to register a disciplinary violation. If I don't make some noise, the section chief will think I'm lazy!"
Zheng Jianghu has always been soft-spoken and not hard-edged. On one side is his former brother and on the other is his old leader. Everyone has their own difficulties. He had no choice but to shake his head and ordered: "Remember to repair the wall later!"
The other party hurriedly replied: "Definitely, definitely, hehe!"
Zhao Dazui's matter has been resolved, but the hearts of the people on Xu Tiannan's side are still hanging in the air.
In terms of character, everyone chose to believe Director Jin, but the one million loan the other party had from Boss Qian actually happened.
Although this money is a loan, why did the other party lend such a large sum of money to Director Kim, whether the other party was asked to use real estate as collateral, or whether there was a formal loan contract between them, all of which must be examined by the procuratorate.
investigation.
As for what Director Kim actually told him during the night he spent at the prosecutor's office yesterday, and whether he planned the whereabouts of the one million cash, no one can know.
There was a crash, a clanging sound came from the bathroom, and a searcher came out carrying a black cloth bag.
When the cloth bag was opened, everyone was in an uproar. What was inside was ten bundles of brand-new hundred-yuan bills. The other party also felt that the integrated ceiling in the bathroom was tilted at a corner, so he found out after removing the integrated ceiling.
This is where the money is hidden.
Just last night, when Mrs. Jin, who was cooking at home, was preparing to go to the hospital, several staff members from the Procuratorate suddenly came to her home.
When she learned that Director Jin had been taken away by the prosecutor's office due to financial problems, and that her home would soon be sealed off, she knew something must have happened to the one million her husband had borrowed from Boss Qian.
So when Sister-in-law Jin made an excuse to pack her things and go to the bathroom, she hurriedly hid the cash on the integrated ceiling of the bathroom.
Today, she hoped that the other party's personnel would not discover the money. When the International Rescue Center's plane arrived tomorrow, she would take her daughter away directly, but she never expected that the hidden money would eventually be found.
At this time, Sister-in-law Jin who was in the corridor suddenly stood up, rushed into the room like crazy, grabbed the cloth bag from the other party's hand and ran out.
The scene happened suddenly, and when a group of investigators reacted, they immediately chased after him.
Several investigators worked together to chase Mrs. Jin in the community. On the way to escape, she accidentally knocked down a fruit stall, but suddenly found a watermelon knife that the stall owner had dropped on the ground.
Without thinking, Sister-in-law Jin picked up the watermelon knife, stared at everyone with blood-red eyes and said, "No! Don't come over! If any of you dare to come over, I will fight with him today!"
Seeing that the matter was getting serious, the chief of the search section who chased him out immediately stepped forward and tried to persuade him: "Sister-in-law, don't be like this! We are all brothers of Director Jin, and we are just doing things according to the rules. As long as you put down the knife now, we will take everything seriously."
It has never happened, but if you continue like this, you will definitely harm Lao Jin."
Mrs. Jin excitedly shook her watermelon knife, leaning against a big tree behind her, and shouted hysterically: "Lao Jin and I only have one daughter! You can't take this money! You are cutting off my daughter's livelihood!"
"
At this point, Sister-in-law Jin almost collapsed emotionally, tears couldn't stop streaming down her face, and she wailed over and over again: "You can't take this money... you can't... you can't cut off Meiyue's way of living!
Woo hoo..."
The painful screams attracted people from the entire community to gather around. While everyone was discussing why the leader's wife, who was usually a kind-hearted person, was treated like this, they also pointed the finger at the prosecutor's office investigators.
"Sister-in-law, listen to me!" the chief of the search section dissuaded again: "This money is stolen money. If you hand it back, it will be considered a violation of discipline by the Financial Bureau, but if you refuse to hand it over, big trouble will happen!"
"That's enough!" Sister-in-law Jin shouted out of control: "Stop talking about Lao Jin!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Mrs. Jin actually raised the watermelon knife, put it on her neck, and cried loudly: "This is my daughter's life-saving money. If anyone dares to touch it, I will die here today to show you!"
"No! Never!"
The situation had gradually worsened. The search section chief was frightened and immediately ordered everyone to retreat. But in his heart, how could he not know how the other party felt.
He has been working on cases for many years, and the life and death he has witnessed and the regrettable, hateful, and sad stories have long been deeply imprinted in his mind. Even if he is reminded of them at any time, it is painful enough to keep him awake at night.
But cars have their own roads, and horses have their own roads. No matter how tragic the story is, he can only sigh in exchange for it, because he knows that he can never betray the police uniform he wears.
At this time, the search section chief did something that surprised everyone. He took out his wallet, took out all the money, slowly placed it on the ground not far from Sister Jin, and comforted:
"Sister-in-law, Lao Jin and I are comrades-in-arms. His child is my child. The cost of Meiyue's surgery... let us find a way together. Give us some time and we will help you solve this problem. I promise!"
As soon as he said this, all the investigators around him followed suit, took out all the money from their bodies, and slowly put it together.
There is a scale in everyone's heart. This is a scale that overrides interests, responsibilities, and even missions. It is called conscience. And what everyone is doing now is a kind of legal principle that they cannot violate.
The good deeds done out of conscience are also the greatest recognition of Director Jin.
However, we are all grassroots case investigators, and the money we have at our disposal is only a drop in the bucket compared to Meiyue's surgery fees.
"That's enough! Don't do this anymore!"
Sister-in-law Jin shouted at the top of her lungs: "Meiyue can't survive that time. I have to take her away tomorrow. If she doesn't leave, it will be too late! I beg you to let her live!"
Just as Sister-in-law Jin was begging everyone, Zhao Dazui suddenly came around from behind. He suddenly grabbed the other party's arm from behind and tried to grab the watermelon knife.
But a moment later, a scream was heard from Zhao Da's mouth, and two rows of deep, bloody tooth marks appeared in his hand.
The search section chief was so frightened by this scene that he shouted: "Zhao Dazui, you are fucking crazy!"
But Sister-in-law Jin took it for granted that this group of people were deliberately acting, and her reason suddenly collapsed again. She screamed and pointed the watermelon knife at her neck without hesitation.
However, at this moment, two figures suddenly emerged from the crowd. Wen Sibao and Zheng Jianghu rushed over quickly, each controlling Sister Jin's arm.
"Let me go! Let you two go!"
Sister-in-law Jin had completely lost her mind at this time, and Zheng Jianghu and Wen Sibao never imagined that a thin woman could have such great power at this moment.
Madam Jin, who had lost her mind, opened her mouth again and bit Zheng Jianghu's hand hard. The other party let out an "Ah" sound and immediately let go of her hand.
Seeing that the knife in Mrs. Jin's hand was about to cut her neck, Murong Shui had quietly walked up to the other person's back. She targeted the back of the other person's neck and was confident that she could knock him out without hurting him.
Just before Murong Shui was about to take action, Xu Tiannan had already walked over and grabbed the blade with his hand, and blood immediately flowed from his hand.
In a daze, Sister-in-law Jin saw Xu Tiannan in her eyes. She did not recognize him, but his behavior of grabbing her blade directly made her hesitate for a moment with the strength in her hand.
Until this moment, she subconsciously did not want to hurt others.
Seeing that the situation was under control, everyone wanted to step forward to help, but Xu Tiannan suddenly shouted like a different person: "Go away!"
Xu Tiannan's voice was very loud, and he shouted to stop everyone. At the same time, it frightened Sister-in-law Jin to regain some of her consciousness. He looked directly into her eyes and whispered: "Sister-in-law, believe me, everything will be fine."
Sister-in-law Jin looked at the other party in disbelief and said, "You...what are you talking about?"
Xu Tiannan smiled and said, "Everything will really get better, and very soon."
