They asked some more questions, and Zheng Ergen answered them one by one. Finally, Chen Baibin said there were no questions. Ji Xin asked: "Where did you work before coming to Wuzhou?"
"Being the deputy chief of the Sanya Police Department," Zheng Ergen replied.
"Then it must have been a long time, right?"
Zheng Ergen was a little surprised. How did the chief know? He looked at Ji Xin again and felt that he looked familiar, but he couldn't tell when he had seen him.
"I went there when Sanya was first developed." Zheng Ergen seemed to be recalling those difficult years, shaking his head, "At that time, I went to be the deputy director. There were five of us including me."
After Zheng Ergen left, Chen Baibin said: "This person doesn't seem to have much talent. It feels like he just turns the baton to get people. I guess he knows a little about the situation, but he doesn't grasp the key things."
"This person was a police officer at the Dongmen City Police Station." Ji Xin said, "If I remember correctly, he should be a student in the first batch of police training courses. After the Maid Revolution, I went to the Dongmen City Police Station and interrogated each one of them that night.
Police officer on duty."
"You have such a good memory! You still remember things that happened so long ago!"
"It's impossible not to remember, because when Dugu asked someone to fire a gun, he was the first to stand up and refuse." Ji Xin said, "He was the only one who kept the order in mind. Things didn't get out of hand that night.
, Zheng Ergen has made great contributions."
"He still has such a glorious past?" Chen Baibin was a little surprised, "He seems to be a submissive grassroots cadre. His ability is not very good."
"His advantage is that he is submissive. You may not say that he has any consciousness, but he won't do it if the rules say he can't do it. This is a rare advantage." Ji Xin said, "I wonder why he disappeared so soon.
Well, it turns out he was transferred to Sanya." Ji Xin sighed, "No wonder he said, 'He doesn't dare to interfere with the affairs of the elders' - although becoming the deputy director would mean being exiled to the ends of the earth for several years. No wonder he
I am more cautious now.”
"I just came out of Sanya and encountered something like this in Wuzhou. Zheng Ergen's brain is going to hurt."
"The fate of little people is to drift with the crowd. There is nothing to say." Ji Xin said, "We just try not to let them suffer the same fate."
Chen Baibin saw that he was deep in thought and did not disturb him. After a while, his brows gradually widened and he asked: "Ji Ju, who do you think we will investigate next?"
"To talk about a more crucial figure, there is Da Xinxuan. According to the existing information, Jiang Qiuchan came to Cai Lan as a companion, and it was his recommendation. But to be honest, this person will not have a lot of money."
Ji Xin said, "However, it would be better if you ask and form a record."
So he interrogated Da Xinxuan again. As Ji Xin said, Da Xinxuan knew nothing about the specific situation. He recommended Jiang Qiuchan purely because of her brother Jiang Rongxian's relationship. After all, Jiang Qiuchan lost her husband and was trapped in Wuzhou with nowhere to seek refuge.
Have to find a livelihood.
They stayed in Wuzhou for a few days and interrogated all relevant personnel who were still in Wuzhou, including Qian Duo. They produced nearly a hundred records. Some of the records seemed unnecessary to Chen Baibin, but Ji Xin was meticulous.
, followed the process again.
However, so far, Chen Baibin has not heard any explanation from Ji Xin about the investigation conclusion of the case. Of course, he already knows Ji Xin's thinking on handling the case from the few words he said during the investigation.
In fact, it is not difficult to analyze his thinking. Chen Baibin knew: Ji Xin first valued the "unity" of the Senate, and he would not let any truth that hindered this "unity" exist; secondly, he wanted to protect the naturalized people.
and the rights of indigenous people. Under the governance of the Senate, it is rare to openly trample and plunder the rights of naturalized people and indigenous people. However, many senators in the Senate do not really respect the rights of these people. It is inevitable that there will be
Things like "being sacrificed" and "disaster of fish in the pond". Ji Xin must try his best to prevent such things from happening.
Combining these two ideas, the direction in which the final report led by Ji Xin will be written has a vague idea. However, in terms of details, there are still too many things that Chen Baibin feels he cannot justify. What exactly is Ji Xin planning to use?
Where is the round shape? He was very curious.
A few days later, a reply letter from Teng County was also delivered, confirming that it had not received a transfer letter about "Hao Ran" from Wuzhou. Moreover, at their request, Teng County investigated the situation of Jiang Qiuchan's husband's family and proved that Jiang Qiuchan's family was
The identity and related incidents were all true. At the same time, it was also learned that there was no "Hao Ran" in his family, whether close or distant relatives.
"These are all known things, there is nothing interesting..."
"It would be strange if there was oil and water." Ji Xin said, "Our work is almost done, and we should write the conclusion. But before writing, there is one last person to interrogate."
"who?"
"Of course it's Xie Erren." Ji Xin said, "He is the person involved."
The next day, they made an appointment to get to know Erren.
Xie Erren seemed to be confident about this interview, and he was calm and calm during the meeting and greeting. After sitting down, Ji Xin first asked some questions about the work situation in Wuzhou, and Xie Erren answered them one by one. After the warm-up, Ji Xin asked
road:
"You were assassinated when you visited the Dragon Mother Temple. Is this true?"
"This happened." Xie Erren's expression became slightly serious, "It was so dangerous at that time!"
"Do you know the assassin's name?"
"I know, her name is Cai Lan." Xie Erren said, "Later, she left me in the Third General Office to do some odd jobs."
These words directly blocked the subsequent series of cross-examinations, and Chen Baibin had no choice but to ask the key questions directly.
"People like Cai Lan are obviously very dangerous. According to the relevant regulations, even if you are unwilling to hand her over to a military court or other judicial institutions, you should at least hand her over to a prisoner camp and deal with her as a prisoner. Why do you want to
How about retaining this person?"
"Because she is good at painting." Xie Erren said, "I just need such a person for publicity..."
"Since she is a retained employee, she should have relevant work records - such as drawings and so on."
"We have all of these, we have them all." Xie Erren was confident, "But a lot of materials were destroyed on the night of the riot. I'm not sure if they are all still intact..."
"Some people reported that the relationship between you and Cai Lan is not a working relationship, but that she has actually become your personal secretary - is this true?"
"Of course she is not my life secretary. To be a life secretary, you have to register with the general office. Cai Lan doesn't have that." Xie Erren argued.
"Okay. Let's put it another way. Is there a male-female relationship between Cai Lan and you?"
"Yes." Xie Erren spread his hands and said helplessly, "I'm a man... I made the same mistakes that all men make... I knew it was wrong, but I couldn't control myself for a moment, ugh!"
"Have you given her any special care since you had such a special relationship with her? Please answer truthfully."
"Of course it's worthwhile. I'm not Pan An..." Xie Erren said in a helpless tone, "I arranged a place for her, and she also had food on a small stove with me. I also found someone to serve her - Jiang Qiuchan too.
...I didn’t expect that I would be used by the enemy!”
Chen Baibin was a little surprised. He didn't expect Xie Erren to admit it so readily. He glanced at Ji Xin, who didn't say a word.
"Do you know exactly how the enemy used her?"
"I don't know this."
"Then how did you know she was connected to the rioters?"
"She attempted to set fire to the Third General Office, but my security secretary caught her on the spot."
This statement is exactly the same as that in his report, and it was obviously carefully considered.
"According to Luo Yangming and Zhao Toyota, you were planning to send a letter to Teng County to transfer Yi Haoran's situation - but Teng County did not receive the transfer letter. How do you explain it?"
"Maybe it was burned down the night of the riot."
"It took about two weeks from the time you raised this matter to the time of the riots. Will the external transfer letter be delayed for so long?"
"It's hard to say. I have a lot of things to do, and there are a lot of documents that need to be signed. Sometimes if I don't pay attention, it will be left unprocessed for a long time - this is a mistake in my work."
This seems to be a strong argument, but Chen Baibin has no strong evidence in terms of witnesses or physical evidence to prove that he is lying. I have to ignore it.
Chen Baibin asked some more questions, and Xie Erren answered them one by one. However, regarding the relationship between him and Cai Lan, he always insisted on sticking to his previous statement and refused to admit anything else.
Ji Xin said nothing during the entire conversation, but listened carefully to their conversation. It was not until the conversation was over that he let out a long breath.
"This Xie Erren is really a ghost!" Chen Baibin said, "He refuses to talk about the transfer letter."
"This just illustrates one point," Ji Xin said, "Cai Lan has a great connection with this mysterious disappearance of the external transfer letter."
"You mean..."
"Yes," Ji Xin nodded, "he and Cai Lan live together in this courtyard, and the wing over there is obviously one of his offices. Just imagine, as Cai Lan, do you have the opportunity to enter the office and get in touch with it?
document?"
"There are so many opportunities."
"That's right." Ji Xin said, "Although we have no direct evidence, it seems very likely that Cai Lan destroyed the transfer letter."
"Why is he only willing to admit his relationship with Cai Lan but keep secret about it?"
"The relationship with Cai Lan is not a big deal - of course, now it is certain that she colluded with the remnants of the compilation, and Xie Erren's responsibility is not small. But the nature is relatively smaller than her contact with, and the destruction of confidential documents of the Senate.
Much lighter - the latter is a matter of principle... so he only has to choose the lesser of two evils." Ji Xin said, "His relationship with Cai Lan is well known in Wuzhou, whether it is Zhao Toyota or
There are hundreds of ordinary naturalized cadres, soldiers and even local indigenous people who know about it. Even if he is extremely capable, he cannot cover it up."
