Chapter 144 Cleverly Resolved
Lu Qing patiently explained: "Comrade Zhang, we have no intention of covering up for you. But this concerns a person's reputation and future, so we must handle it with caution. We will investigate it as soon as possible and give you an explanation."
At this time, Pan Guohe also said with a sad face: "Leader, it really wasn't me, it was my brother who did it. I had drunk a little wine at the time and was confused. When I woke up, they were like this..."
Lu Qing frowned and looked at Pan Guohe: "Pan Guohe, you have to have evidence before you speak."
Pan Guohe lowered his head and stammered, "I saw it with my own eyes..."
Pan's mother immediately responded, "That's right, it must have been Pan Guoyang who did it, so everyone ran away! Don't I know my Xiaohe well? He would definitely not do such a thing."
When Zhang's father heard this, he became anxious again, "Run away? You can't run away, your family needs to pay the money immediately!"
Lu Qing knew that it was useless to continue talking to Pan's mother, so he said to the people present: "Let's calm down first. Our art troupe will send people to investigate and get to the bottom of the matter as soon as possible. Before the results come out, I hope everyone will stop making trouble and maintain order in the military zone."
Father Zhang snorted, "No! I'm here now, and I want a result today! I only have this one daughter in my family, and now she's become a rag. I can't bear to take her back..."
"etc."
Just at this moment, Pan Guoyang came.
He was accompanied by two people, an elderly couple.
As soon as he saw Pan Guoyang, Zhang's father slammed the table and wanted to throw a tantrum all over again.
Even Zhang Xi looked at him straight.
As more and more people started talking about it, it seemed as if everyone automatically concluded that it was Pan Guoyang who did it.
Pan Guoyang bowed to the leaders, his face full of shame, "I am sorry for causing trouble to the group! These two elderly people are the witnesses I found."
"Witness? Prove what?" Pan Guohe spoke hastily, his tone somewhat anxious.
Pan Guoyang gave him a cold look and said, "It proves that it was you that day, not me."
"How is that possible? We were both wearing military coats that day and couldn't be identified at all. And it wasn't me who did it at all."
"Yeah?"
Pan Guoyang looked at the old man, who nodded, took a step forward, and said somewhat stiffly, "I did see it, and I can tell who it is."
Lu Qing's face lit up, "Old man, tell me what you saw."
"We are Guo Wazi's neighbors, and Guo Wazi is Guo Sheng."
When the old man mentioned Guo Sheng, Pan Guohe and Zhang Xi's faces obviously froze.
Because everyone was taken to Guo Sheng's house by Chen Chaoxia that night.
"That night, my wife and I went out for a walk. The window of Guowazi's back room was not closed tightly. I heard some noise inside and couldn't help but take a look.
I saw two young men helping a girl into the house. One of them put her down and left, while the other one…"
The old man described what happened in great detail, just the first half of the time when the two men entered the house.
After saying this, he looked at the two brothers' faces again and again, pointed at Pan Guohe, and said, "The one left behind is him."
Everyone's eyes were instantly focused on Pan Guohe.
Pan Guohe's face changed drastically, and he said hurriedly: "Don't talk nonsense! You must have seen it wrong, how could I do such a thing!"
Pan's mother stepped forward and hurriedly protected Pan Guohe, and scolded the old man: "Are you a liar hired by the eldest brother? It's not easy to recognize my two sons. What makes you say it's Xiaohe?"
After hearing what she said, the old lady standing by was unhappy, "Hey, don't blame us for peeking, your son's shameless behavior is worthy of being shot! It's good that we didn't report him.
How can he be a good man if he took advantage of a drunk girl and did something wrong? Besides, what's wrong with recognizing them? They are just twins."
The old lady didn't even give Pan's mother a chance to answer. She started talking about the second half of the story, and finally listed what she thought was evidence. "You had a wound on your right hand that day, right? The inner garment you were wearing was navy blue..."
Pan Guohe shook his head. "My brother and I are together almost every day. It's not surprising that he told you these details."
The old lady was so angry that she stamped her feet. "How can you blame others for your mistakes? I tell you, although I am old, I am not blind! We just can't stand people like you who do wrong and refuse to admit it."
Pan Guoyang looked at his brother, his eyes full of disappointment and anger, "Guohe, you still don't admit it? What you did deeply hurt Comrade Zhang, don't you feel guilty at all? Do you have a clear conscience?"
Pan Guohe's forehead was covered with beads of sweat, and he looked around, "Leader, they must have colluded to frame me. I am really innocent!"
The old lady refused to give in and pulled her husband forward a few steps, each word she said was an accusation without any repetition!
This made Pan Guohe panic.
"By the way, that little girl had a red birthmark on her chest. You said it looked like a plum blossom!"
Pan Guohe's eyes lit up, as if he had finally found evidence, and he retorted without thinking, "You're talking nonsense, there's obviously no birthmark on her chest!"
The whole place was silent...
Pan Guoyang and Lu Qing looked at each other and felt greatly relieved.
Before everyone could react, the two old men hurriedly bowed in front of the leaders and retreated to Pan Guoyang's side.
Now even a fool would know what's going on.
"You guys cheated me?"
"Pan Guoyang, are you hiring someone to defraud me?"
Pan Guohe finally realized that he had fallen into a trap. He became furious and pointed at Pan Guoyang and the two old men and cursed them.
Pan Guoyang just lowered his eyes to hide his deep disappointment, "Guohe, it's not that I want to deceive you, but you did something wrong. Now that the truth is out, what else do you have to say?"
Lu Qing's face was gloomy. "Pan Guohe, at this point, do you still want to quibble? Your behavior seriously violated the discipline and moral code of the art troupe. We will never tolerate it."
Pan's mother was also dumbfounded at this time. She wanted to continue to deny it for her youngest son, but so many leaders were watching...
Father Zhang was delighted. He had finally found the source. He rushed over and hugged the man. "It's you, you little bastard, right? Don't even think about getting away. If you don't give me an explanation today, I'll die here with you!"
Lu Qing and other leaders quickly stepped forward to stop Zhang's father, "Comrade Zhang, calm down, we will definitely deal with him seriously, he can't get away."
Zhang Xi was crying with her face covered. She didn't expect the truth to be revealed in this way. She looked at Pan Guohe with pain and hatred in her eyes.
Pan Guohe was like a deflated ball, sitting on the ground, still mumbling to himself: "I didn't, it wasn't me..."
It was a mess, but they dispersed with the help of the art troupe.
"Thank you, Brother Pan."
When Pan Guoyang met Zhang Xi's gaze, he nodded at her.
The image of Lin Anan appeared in his mind. Although she was such a weak female comrade, her awareness was higher than anyone else. She was rational, firm and smart.
For some unknown reason, Pan Guoyang also stopped. Perhaps only those who have touched the warm sun in the cold winter know how much those who stay in the cold winter need that little bit of warmth.
"You're welcome. I'm just saving myself."
"Lesbians are also independent individuals and should have their own wonderful lives. In many cases, you can try to choose to believe in yourself. You don't have to choose to go down a path you know is wrong. You have the right to refuse."
"This person doesn't have to marry, and even the child... can't be kept."
