Chapter 864 Interrogation
Annan played the theme of "I am right, I am not afraid of anyone", sitting relaxed on the chair throughout the whole performance, leaning back, slightly tilted to the right, with his arms resting on the handles of the chair and his legs crossed.
He doesn't look like a person being examined, but rather an examiner in charge of the interview.
A group of officials sitting upright opposite: …
Who is judging whom?
Someone couldn't help but scold: "Miss, please correct your attitude."
Annan raised his eyebrows in confusion. What's wrong with her attitude? She's already cooperated, just come if I let her!
She was too lazy to talk to them, so she looked at the watch on her wrist and said directly, "Hello, if you have anything to say, just talk to my lawyer directly."
It's half past ten now. She can only stay here for an hour at most. The little puppy at home needs to have dinner on time at half past eleven.
The people on the opposite side were all confused after hearing what she said.
She has a lawyer?
Just as I was wondering, Long Cong'an, dressed in a suit and tie, stood up and said, "Hello, I'm Long Cong'an, the lawyer of Miss An and Mr. Gu."
As he spoke, he also introduced Zhao Pingan beside him: "This is my assistant."
Zhao Pingan also stood up and smiled shyly: "Hello, my name is Zhao Pingan."
The leaders of the Western Base who were originally staring at the four people angrily were stunned for a moment, and their eyes turned into surprise.
You guys are lawyers??!
You two are also suspects, okay? !
Li Mingcheng, who was sitting at the front of the crowd, pursed his lips and tried hard not to laugh.
Sure enough, no matter what the situation, Annan is never the weak one. Just like her mother, she can make a crowd angry just by sitting there calmly.
Secretary Wu, who was standing behind Li Mingcheng, noticed the expression on his leader's face and immediately sniffed, ready to sneeze loudly to cover it up if his leader couldn't hold back his laughter.
Song Guoqiang, who was sitting in the middle, greeted Long Cong'an and Zhao Ping'an in a serious manner:
"Hello, Attorney Long. Hello, Assistant Zhao."
Other staff members in the court: …
Is this right?!
They are suspects, okay!!!
Long Cong'an seemed to be unable to see their expressions, and still looked professional and decent: "If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. I will answer them truthfully."
As he spoke, he nodded to Annan and Gu Zhiyu, indicating that they could rest assured.
Annan was indeed very relieved and just leaned aside.
Feng poisoned himself to death, what does it have to do with them? No matter how she tries to explain this matter, it makes sense. She doesn't even need to step in. Special Assistant Long is enough to explain the matter clearly.
She only needs to observe quietly from the side, note down the people who target them the most, and wait for the opportunity to take revenge.
Long Cong'an held his head high and adjusted the tie around his neck. If you didn't know him, you would have thought he was a lawyer before the disaster.
As Gu's first special assistant, he has been with the president for many years, handling various miscellaneous matters, so naturally he knows a little bit about every field.
Although I can't compare with professional lawyers at all, I am definitely not inferior in momentum.
Look, before he came, he took out his battle robes that he hadn't worn for a long time.
He hasn't worn a suit since the extreme heat, but wearing it today, he felt like the first special assistant again. He straightened his back unconsciously, ready to "fight" at any time.
The leaders on the other side had different expressions, but they did not bother about the identities of Long Cong'an and Zhao Ping'an. They quickly got to the point and began to ask questions aggressively:
"Why did Chief Feng get into trouble after drinking with you? Did you drug him?"
The person who spoke was the former deputy chief of the Western Base and one of Chief Feng's trusted confidants.
Having been in the officialdom for many years, his eyes were reserved but sharp, and the look he gave Long Cong'an was full of oppression.
Long Cong'an was not afraid at all. He looked him straight in the eye and replied, "It is true that we drank together, but the wine was brought by Chief Feng. How could we drug him?"
The man insisted, "It's not necessary to put the poison in the wine. How can we know if you used other means?"
Long Cong'an: "At that time, we were surrounded by his men. What could we do in front of everyone?"
The man said, "Of course it's the method that can poison a group of people right under their noses!"
Someone else chimed in, "Right! Who knows if you used some kind of inhalation poison? It's colorless and odorless. When Chief Feng got close to you, you would have been poisoned silently!"
Long Cong'an sneered: "If you say so, anyone could have poisoned him! I even suspected that you poisoned Chief Feng when you passed by him."
The man was furious: "How is that possible? How could I poison the leader?"
Long Cong'an followed suit: "It is impossible for us to poison the leader."
After a pause, he shot back, "Besides, what are you sure about that Commander Feng died of poisoning? But many people saw and even heard that he and Xiang Yang clearly died because of... that excessive...
The other party immediately slammed the table and said, "Nonsense! Don't throw dirty water on our leader! Our leader is not that kind of person. He must have been poisoned to become like that!"
Long Cong'an shrugged, "I don't know if he was poisoned, but everyone saw the cause of his death, and I'm not making it up."
After a pause, he continued, "It was obviously you who splashed dirty water on others. If you insist that we poisoned Chief Feng, then you have to produce evidence. You can't just accuse others without any evidence!"
The two sides exchanged words back and forth. Long Cong'an took advantage of the fact that the other party had no evidence and was very calm, but the other party was very angry about his attitude.
At first, only one or two people started to question him, but after a few words, seeing that Long Cong'ansi was not losing, more and more people started to join in. Almost all of them were former Western officials.
The official power in the west is complicated and intertwined. Chief Feng and many of them are old friends or even distant relatives, or they have common interests in some aspects.
In short, one move affects the whole body. Killing Chief Feng would affect the interests of many people.
This is also why, in the past few years since Chief Qi and Li Yue came to power, no matter how popular they were and how many supporters they had, they still could not force the absurd Chief Feng out of office.
