I really don't want to be an official if I transmigrate into Qi Tongwei's life.

Chapter 26 Hou Liangping, the Green Tea Bitch

"That kid Qi Tongwei has been detained by the provincial procuratorate. The follow-up investigation will determine how he's handled, but he won't get a lenient sentence."

Chen Yanshi had a bad impression of Qi Tongwei; perhaps all men feel the same way about their daughters' boyfriends.

Judge Wu was satisfied with the answer.

Jinhao Nightclub.

Lu Peng, holding a mobile phone and a pager hanging from his waist, surrounded by women on his left and right, this is the life he should live.

Suddenly, a cell phone rang. Lu Peng took it seriously and waved for all the girls to leave.

"Old Qiu, what are your instructions?"

"That security guard can't be kept alive. Get rid of him immediately, make it look like an accidental death, and the provincial procuratorate will get involved. Keep a low profile for now."

"Understood, Elder Qiu. Any further instructions?"

"Have your men take the blame for collecting protection money; don't let the police get involved."

"I'll get on it right away."

After hanging up the phone, Lu Peng immediately instructed his henchman, "Ah Bao, take care of that security guard tonight, make it look like an accidental murder by a thief."

"Yes, boss, when is Baldy coming out?"

"He'll probably have to stay in there for a while, but he'll be released as soon as this storm passes."

"Big brother, get me a gun, I'm going to take out that prosecutor."

"Let him live a little longer."

"yes, Sir"

The next day, the police received a report from the state-owned factory that Hu Tiezhu had been murdered, possibly due to an accident caused by a thief stealing something, as some tape recorder parts were scattered on the ground.

Zhang Zheng led a team to the scene for investigation. Based on the size of the footprints, there were likely three men.

Without surveillance cameras, it's very difficult to solve murder cases like this, where thieves commit crimes randomly, in a short period of time.

Zhang Zheng understood that Hu Tiezhu's death was definitely not the work of a thief. As long as Hu Tiezhu was dead, Duan Xiaojun's case would never be overturned unless the real murderer was caught.

Office of Zhuang Guosen, Provincial Procuratorate.

Feng Yi rushed to report Hu Tiezhu's death immediately.

"Those guys are desperate, which means we're on the right track."

"Prosecutor Zhuang, with Hu Tiezhu dead, Duan Xiaojun's case is going to be much harder to handle."

As the executor, Feng Yi was not as optimistic as his superiors.

Zhuang Guosen's expression was serious. "Xiao Feng, if it really is a wrongful conviction, we must handle it no matter how difficult it is. There are many difficulties in our work, but as long as we solve them one by one, the truth will eventually come to light."

"Yes, Prosecutor Zhuang."

How's that kid doing?

"My colleague said he just ate and slept all day, treating it like a vacation."

"Let him be. Keep a close eye on Duan Xiaojun's medical report; there can't be any mistakes."

"Yes, Prosecutor Zhuang."

Chen Yanshi lived in the unified leadership compound for provincial party committee cadres.

He cultivated a plot of land in front of his house, where he liked to grow his own vegetables.

Ji Changming came to visit specifically for Duan Xiaojun's case.

"Mr. Chen, with you here, we have a pillar of support in this case."

Ji Changming's method of flattery was subtle and insidious.

Chen Yanshi had watched Ji Changming grow up step by step and was quite satisfied with him.

"Xiao Ji, how did this case turn out like this? The security guard died unexpectedly at a crucial moment. Is there really any illegal or criminal activity involved?"

"Mr. Chen, the evidence provided by the police is very substantial, and our procuratorate has strictly followed the regulations in filing the case and prosecuting the case. However, we did not expect Duan Xiaojun to recant his confession on the spot, claiming that he was coerced by the police."

"That kid Qi Tongwei caused another scene in court, escalating the situation and adding a lot of drama to the case."

Ji Changming speaks with impeccable discretion, always managing to absolve himself of all responsibility.

"Xiao Ji, how can you let Qi Tongwei act so recklessly? This is outrageous! He dares to directly attack Judge Wu in court!"

Chen Yanshi's wife, Wang Fuzhen, disliked Qi Tongwei even more; she didn't want her daughter to marry a poor country boy.

What Ji Changming really wanted to say was, "How can I control that kid? He has powerful backers."

"It was truly outrageous. I regret it now, and I'm so sorry to Judge Wu."

"Go away, don't interrupt. I'm talking to Xiao Ji about serious business."

Wang Fu was displeased with Chen Yanshi's words.

"You're already old enough to retire, and the higher-ups still put you in charge. I think they're clearly using you as a pawn. With all this time, why can't you have a proper talk with your daughter?"

"Why bring this up? Your daughter has always been independent and opinionated. Now that she's grown up, who can control her?"

"What do you mean 'my daughter'? Isn't she your daughter?"

Wang Fuzhen had been holding these words in for a long time. If he had just said a few words, his daughter wouldn't have had to be assigned to work in Kyoto.

"Hey, why are you saying all this? It's making Xiao Ji feel so awkward."

"Xiao Ji, don't overthink it, I just said it in the heat of the moment."

Wang Fuzhen quickly offered another explanation.

"Aunt Wang, I'm thick-skinned. Even if Old Chen didn't want me to come, I'd still come myself."

"Alright, you two chat first, have your meal before you leave."

"Thank you for your hard work, Aunt Wang."

Getting back to the main point, Chen Yanshi said, "I really feel this case is very strange. Could it be that Qi Tongwei knows something and is deliberately causing trouble, like that protection money incident, which was even reported by the Handong Daily?"

Chen Yanshi was reluctant to say this about Qi Tongwei, but after working in the procuratorate for decades, he still had this sense of vigilance.

At this point, even if Ji Changming was cunning, he couldn't remain completely silent.

"Mr. Chen, the story about collecting protection money is basically true, because a TV reporter was there and witnessed it firsthand."

"What are the public security brigade doing? They're supposed to protect ordinary people, not collude with bad guys to harm them."

Chen Yanshi was furious; he could not tolerate the bullying of ordinary people.

Ji Changming quickly explained, "Mr. Chen, whether the Public Security Brigade is colluding with those criminals is just one side of the story from the reporter. The police are still investigating, and the captain of the Public Security Brigade has been suspended from duty pending investigation."

"If problems are found, these bad apples should be purged. The country that revolutionaries fought and sacrificed their lives for must not be destroyed in their hands."

"Mr. Chen is right, our municipal procuratorate will continue to follow up on this."

"Oh dear, son, what happened to your face?"

Wang Fuzhen's surprised voice came from outside.

With the holidays approaching, Chen Hai brought Hou Liangping over for a visit.

"Old Chen, come out quickly! Your son has been beaten up; his face is all swollen."

This was all Hou Liangping's doing. He insisted on making Chen Hai go home now, clearly trying to sabotage Qi Tongwei.

"Mom, it's nothing, I just got stung by a wasp."

Chen Hai didn't want his parents to know that Qi Tongwei was the one who hit him; he felt embarrassed and ashamed.

Let me see, let me see.

Chen Yanshi ran out. He doted on his precious son, but he couldn't escape the traditional thinking of the older generation.

"This doesn't look like a bee sting at all; it looks like he's been in a fight. Liangping, tell me what happened."

"Uncle Chen, Chen Hai told me not to tell him."

Hou Liangping immediately transformed into a green tea bitch.

"Tell Uncle Chen not to be afraid."

Hou Liangping put on a pretentious, affected air.

"Uncle Chen, it was Qi Tongwei who did it."

"What? Qi Tongwei did it?"

Chen Yanshi was so angry that his blood pressure immediately rose and he felt dizzy. Ji Changming quickly helped him up.
