Seeing that Accountant Zheng remained silent, Wei Feng became impatient and warned immediately:
"It's okay if you don't want to talk about it now. It's the same if you go to the Revolutionary Committee with me."
As he said this, he was about to signal his men to take Accountant Zheng away.
Accountant Zheng was startled when he saw this, and his mind finally became clear again.
Now is not the time to worry about why the book is in his house, but to resolutely not admit it.
Otherwise the crime would be serious.
Thinking of this, Accountant Zheng immediately cried out for justice:
"Commissioner Wei, this is unfair. This book is not mine. I don't know how it ended up on my roof. Maybe someone threw it here on purpose."
He originally wanted to gloss over the matter, but the more he talked, the more it seemed to be the case.
Maybe the Lin family discovered this book in advance and threw it over on purpose to frame me.
He thought so and said so.
"It must be the Lin family. No wonder we didn't find anything at their house just now. It turns out they threw it away in advance.
I said that I did see the foreign language book in the morning, so how come it suddenly disappeared?
So that's how it is! "
Lin Ran chuckled and shook her head when she heard that.
"Accountant Zheng is really determined to drag our Lin family into this trouble. Could you please use your brain and think carefully about what we are trying to achieve by doing this?
First of all, it was you who reported it, and it was you who called Commissioner Wei and the others over. Our Lin family had no idea about it at all.
Putting aside where we got the foreign language books, we didn't even know anyone was coming to check, so wouldn't it be unnecessary to throw the books on your roof?"
When everyone heard this, they realized that this was indeed the truth.
The Lin family was wronged from the beginning to the end, and it was Accountant Zheng who kept holding them accountable.
Now that he has been discovered, he wants to put the blame on the Lin family, but the abacus beads are hitting someone else's face.
Isn't this just treating everyone as fools?
Even Accountant Zheng was so stunned that his face turned red and he opened his mouth but couldn't utter a word.
Finally, I just kept repeating with my nose stuck in my throat:
"Anyway, this book isn't mine. I don't know where it came from."
But will Wei Feng listen to him?
Take away for investigation directly.
Accountant Zheng, who was being held up, finally felt scared and his legs went limp with fear.
If there was no one holding him up, he would have collapsed to the ground.
He didn't care about Jia Yongchang's instructions and moved Jia Yongchang out directly.
"Let me go! I know Director Jia. You can't arrest me. If Director Jia knew what you did to me, he would definitely not let you go!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the two subordinates looked at each other with fear in their eyes, and turned to ask Wei Feng for instructions.
Wei Feng frowned and asked:
"What is your relationship with Director Jia?"
In fact, Jia Yongchang had long ago told Accountant Zheng not to tell anyone outside about the fact that the two families had taken the wrong child.
So people in the county, such as Wei Feng, only knew that Jia Yongchang's family had taken the wrong child, but as to whose family the wrong child was taken, that was not clear.
If it were before, Accountant Zheng would definitely not dare to go against Jia Yongchang's wishes, but now he is in danger himself, so of course he will not think so much.
In a few words, he told the story of how he and the Jia family had taken the wrong child.
Not only that, he also threatened:
"I am Jia Baoqin's biological father. I believe you have seen how much Director Jia and his wife love my daughter. If anything happens to me, Baoqin will definitely be implicated.
Director Jia certainly doesn’t want to see this happen.”
Wei Feng indeed hesitated.
But being concerned about Jia Yongchang is one aspect.
On the other hand, he suddenly remembered that it was Jia Yongchang who said today that he had received a report and notified him to bring people to investigate.
Now that Accountant Zheng said this again, does Jia Yongchang know that Accountant Zheng has secretly kept foreign books?
He didn't dare to ask, but Lin Ran was not afraid at all. She was worrying about how to deal with Jia Yongchang. Now that someone was helping to dig a hole, she naturally had to lend a hand.
"So, Accountant Zheng is saying that Director Jia knew you were hiding foreign language books, but chose to protect you for the sake of his daughter?"
These outrageous words frightened not only the people present but even Wei Feng to the point of choking on his saliva.
"Ahem... little girl, be careful with your words! Don't say that carelessly!"
Accountant Zheng shook his head like a rattle.
"No, no, that's not what I meant. Director Jia has no idea that I've been hiding foreign books. Don't talk nonsense."
"Oh? So Accountant Zheng admitted to hiding foreign books?"
Lin Ran felt a little disappointed that she didn't drag Jia Yongchang into this, but she decided to deal with Accountant Zheng first and then find a chance to settle accounts with Jia Yongchang later.
Anyway, this incident alone cannot bring down Jia Yongchang.
Accountant Zheng was dumbfounded again.
He was actually fooled by Lin Ran.
"I didn't admit it. I didn't hide anything at all. You just deliberately led me to say that!
This book is really not mine!"
Accountant Zheng was like a trapped beast at this moment, struggling and roaring non-stop, his squinting eyes widening into copper bells.
Lin Ran was worried that Wei Feng would take this matter lightly for Jia Yongchang's sake, so she said casually:
"Commissioner Wei will have to investigate this matter thoroughly. After all, it involves Director Jia, and I believe Director Jia doesn't want his reputation to be tarnished. Therefore, only a thorough investigation can prevent Director Jia from being implicated."
Wei Feng has been immersed in officialdom for many years, so how could he not see Lin Ran's little thoughts.
But what Lin Ran said also made sense.
Since Accountant Zheng revealed his relationship with Jia Yongchang, if it is not investigated thoroughly, people outside may have all kinds of speculations about Jia Yongchang.
Out of this concern, Wei Feng decided to take the man back for interrogation.
At worst, I can just inform Jia Yongchang when the time comes.
Seeing that Wei Feng and the others still refused to let him go, they even wanted to take him back for interrogation.
Accountant Zheng's mind unconsciously emerged with various tortures used to interrogate prisoners in ancient times, and cold sweat broke out.
No, he must not go back with them, or he will be beaten to death!
"I'm telling you, this book really isn't mine, but I know who it belongs to."
As soon as these words were spoken, there was silence for a moment.
Wei Feng obviously didn't expect Accountant Zheng to be so cowardly. He confessed his accomplices before the interrogation even started?
Yes, an accomplice.
He simply didn't believe that Accountant Zheng didn't know about this book.
"Whose is it? Tell me."
"If I tell you, will you not arrest me?"
Accountant Zheng saw that there was a chance and quickly started to talk about the conditions.
Wei Feng snorted coldly.
"It's okay if you don't want to tell me. I have plenty of ways to make you tell me when we get back."
The light in Accountant Zheng's eyes instantly dimmed when he heard this.
"But if we find out that you really didn't know anything, we will naturally give you a lighter sentence, or even let you go directly."
Wei Feng thought for a moment and added, "We have to give him some hope, right?"
These words were like heavenly music to Accountant Zheng, and instantly gave him great hope.
Because in his opinion, this book really has little to do with him.
So he immediately recruited He Hua.
"You said this book was given to you by He Hua from your brigade? Where is she? And why did she give you this book?"
