Chapter 177 I have no other choice
While Zhao Kai was rushing back, Liang Jishen's car was parked in the provincial family compound. There was a small office building behind it. It was an old building from the late 1980s. It was originally the District Cultural Bureau and moved to Dongcheng. It had been vacant for more than three years. Liang Jing worked in it after returning to China.
Lao Zhang arranged a separate office in the new building, but Liang Jing didn't want it because the decoration was too high-end, all made of mahogany, and he was not used to it.
This old building is located in a remote area, with only one convenient restaurant nearby. Liang Jing ordered meals there. He didn't care about food and accommodation, but he cared about the quality of clothing. After all, it was a face for socializing and negotiations. It didn't matter if the brand was niche, as long as the style was mature and elegant, not fancy, and without wrinkles.
He has a noble and elegant temperament and drives a Hongqi L5. No one can imagine that the calm, steady and eloquent Secretary-General Liang's lunch is a box lunch provided by "Cai Jie Xiaochao" with an average price of 26 yuan.
Sister Cai was also kept in the dark. Her only impression was that this customer liked to eat steamed and cold dishes, and the hot dishes would be marked as "light flavor, not stir-fried."
Liang Jishen registered at the sentry box. After the guard informed him, Liang Jing used the excuse of being busy with official business and did not meet him.
He hung up the phone and wrote and drew on the manuscript, but his mind was not at peace.
After the driver finished cleaning up the lunch break room, he asked curiously, "Why didn't you see me?"
Liang Jing twisted his eyebrows and said, "I guessed the third brother's intention, so I won't meet him."
At this juncture, Liang Jishen was desperate. At 2 p.m., He Sang had cooperated with the investigation for 24 hours. If there was a witness, he would be released. If there was no witness, his detention would be upgraded.
Truth cannot be hidden. Once the news gets out, how will Zhonghai, the upper class, and the Liang family view He Sang and this marriage?
It is absolutely unacceptable.
There is a high probability that Liang Jishen is about to cross the line.
There are two possible outcomes if Liang Jing meets him: one is not allowing him, and the other is allowing him.
If he doesn't allow it, it will be unfair to He Sang. If he allows it, Liang Jing will not be able to get over this hurdle.
Letting him handle the matter was Liang Jing's greatest concession.
Liang Jishen met Zhou Kun and his wife at a tea restaurant in the city.
Entering the box, he got straight to the point, "Do you have any connections in the hospital?"
Zhou Kun curled his lips and said, "I do have a classmate in the court. Nongnong knows a cardiovascular expert who has a clinic in the United States."
Liang Jishen sat down and said, "Do you remember the scene that day? It was so delicate."
"When Nongnong and I went in, Hu Dafa was lying unconscious on the bed, his upper body covered in blood. A broken Guanyin statue lay in the pool of blood. He Sang was wearing underwear, but the buttons were unbuttoned." Zhou Kun thought for a second and pointed out the key point, "His trousers were pulled down to his thighs, but his underwear was still on. Hu Dafa's shirt and trousers were both intact."
Hu Nongnong nodded. "Hu Dafa's clothes are intact, and He Sang's skin has no bite marks or bruises. It's intact, and there's no evidence of violence. After a physical examination at the hospital, there was no male body fluid residue, no Hu Dafa's hair DNA, and no skin injuries."
Liang Jishen remained silent throughout the whole process.
Zhou Kun poured him a cup of tea. "I asked the doctor to give me a test report, but the hospital can't give it. Is a minor injury a minor one? He Sang doesn't have it. If Hu Dafa takes off his pants and a hair falls out, I'll take a photo and we can sue him for attempted rape."
Hu Nongnong said, "Hu Dafa harassed He Sang repeatedly. He was on guard and didn't have time to produce physical evidence, so he attacked him first. From the perspective of the trial, Hu Dafa didn't actually inflict any harm, but He Sang directly took his life."
Liang Jishen rubbed his temples, "Nongnong, you be the witness. Zhou Kun and I are childhood friends, and he will not give up if he testifies against the Hu family."
Hu Nongnong was stunned. "You and my father are sworn brothers. Is my testimony convincing?"
"My relationship with your father is known to my colleagues, but not to the outside world."
Liang Jishen taught her, "When you walked in, you saw Hu Dafa pressing down on He Sang, attempting to assault him. He Sang hit him, but the first time, he didn't hit him hard. Hu Dafa, enraged, grabbed He Sang's hair and tried to slam him against the wall. He Sang tried to save himself by hitting him a second time. Zhou Kun happened to be going up the mountain. You went to get him for help. When you came back, Hu Dafa was unconscious."
Hu Nongnong swallowed his saliva, "Isn't this perjury..."
Zhou Kun hit him on the back, "Liang San, do you know you're making a mistake? A mistake of principle!"
He said in a deep voice, "I have no other choice."
"You refused Uncle Liang's green light before. Don't you cherish the good reputation and word of mouth you've accumulated in the first half of your life? In a week, you'll be promoted to General Manager of China Overseas Group. You need to be rational!"
Liang Jishen's face was gloomy, like a pool of gray-green ink.
Suddenly, he stood up, walked straight towards Hu Nongnong and grabbed her arm.
Zhou Kun also pulled him, "Are you crazy?"
He dodged suddenly, and Zhou Kun fell on the chair. He questioned Hu Nongnong, "Did you remember what Third Uncle taught you?"
Liang Jishen was obviously restraining his emotions and his tone was gentle, but his eyes, his strength, and the stubble that had grown overnight all released a tough and powerful murderous aura. Hu Nongnong was still confused, so confused that she was terrified.
"Third Uncle..."
He exerted force slowly, "Nong Nong, Third Uncle has never begged your father, let alone you and Zhou Kun. Today, Third Uncle is begging you. Please take a risk, okay?"
"Liang San!" Zhou Kun's eyes were red as he pried his hands apart. "With you here, will He Sang be wrongfully imprisoned? No. You were once the famous Inspector Liang. Didn't you have a famous saying? As long as I, Liang Jishen, am in office, there won't be a single dark cloud in the sky of Hebei Province, and there won't be a single drop of muddy water on the land of Hebei Province. You've tried your best to protect someone you've never met before, so what could possibly happen to your own woman? You'll find a way."
Liang Jishen's body shook violently, he covered his face with his ten hunched fingers, and trembled violently.
Zhao Kai did not tell Liang Jishen that there was a witness. They split into two groups and raced against time to first ensure that the witness's testimony was effective, and then tell him after the dust settled, so as to prevent him from being disappointed and delaying the process of clearing the way for connections.
Several police officers gathered at the door of the interrogation room. Two of them handcuffed a monk. The monk squatted beside a bench, lowered his head, and said nothing.
Liang Chihui was sitting upright on the bench.
A black windbreaker, a shirt and black pants, a spotless and free-spirited look, yet a deep and chilling feeling.
Zhao Kai didn't have much contact with him, and instinctively felt that he was quite sinister.
It's not insidious, it's an aura, similar to black cherry blossoms, black thorns, a sinister and dark one.
"Mr. Liang, thank you for your dedication to the case." Zhao Kai offered a handshake. He immediately glanced at the squatting monk and recognized Feng Zhikui. "Is he a witness?"
The subordinate reported, "Feng Zhikui is Hu Dafa's wife's mistress and has been living in Puhua Temple for two months."
Zhao Kai pushed open the door of the interrogation room and said, "Bring him in."
The police officer held Feng Zhikui, and when he closed the door, he turned his head and Liang Chihui gave him a meaningful look.
Zhao Kai sat down and twirled his shorthand pen. "Which of the two, Hu Dafa's attempted violence and He Sang's extortion and assault, is true?"
"It's true that Hu Dafa was violent," Feng Zhikui said expressionlessly. "I was in his wife's meditation room, hiding in a closet. I heard them talking about He Sang also offering incense at Puhua Temple. Hu Dafa had been coveting her for a long time, but she wasn't happy about it, so he took advantage of this opportunity to do something evil."
Zhao Kai examined him. "Whose idea was it to falsely accuse He Sang?"
"It was Hu Dafa's wife's idea. We've been together for two years. I persuaded her to divert Hu Dafa's cash flow, which was about 300 to 400 million yuan, basically draining him out. She wanted to divorce him and marry me, but she was worried about being exposed during the liquidation of the assets, so she didn't dare to mention it."
Zhao Kai threw away the cigarette case and lighter. Feng Zhikui lit it tremblingly, taking long puffs. "Hu Dafa went to He Sang's meditation room. I followed him quietly. He planned to take nude photos of He Sang to blackmail Liang Jishen. It was his own woman, and he was so embarrassed that he spent money to save face. This girl was thin and withered, and her hands were very fierce. Hu Dafa stripped her naked, and when he was about to succeed, she hit me on the back of the head. Then Zhou Kun came into the yard, and I hid."
"Stripped naked?"
Feng Zhikui puffed out smoke and said, "Naked."
Zhao Kai instructed his subordinates to record the key points, "You didn't hit her, right?"
"Why hit her? Hu Dafa is so fat, how can He Sang be his match? Once he's pressed down, he can do whatever he wants."
Zhao Kai also lit a cigarette, "What's going on with the wise monk?"
Feng Zhikui was disdainful. "He didn't take the money from the incense offerings. I paid him three million to bribe him to give false testimony. Hu Dafa's wife is not reconciled. She lost the money she had earned and may have to pay compensation for mental damage. Moreover, she offended Liang Jishen. None of Hu Dafa's physical businesses are legitimate. Liang Jishen can just contact the city and seal and freeze them. Hu Dafa's wife will lose everything. She discussed with me and decided to bite He Sang. He Sang is a drama actor. She doesn't want to ruin her reputation and go to jail, right? Liang Jishen must have lost money to avoid disaster."
Zhao Kai was amused. "With such a good mind, can't you do something honest? Benefit society and make a fortune in an upright way? But you guys just act like scoundrels!"
The subordinate handed Zhao Kai an evidence bag and a torn sweater.
Feng Zhikui said, "It belonged to He Sang. Zhou Kun and his wife were also panicking at the time. Hu Dafa was half dead. They were only focused on saving people. They also put He Sang in the car and comforted her. I secretly ran back to the meditation room to get this small shirt."
Zhao Kai ordered his subordinates, "Try to extract Hu Dafa's fingerprints."
"There's Hu Dafa's saliva DNA." Feng Zhikui pointed at the button. "He bit it open."
Zhao Kai and his subordinates came out one after another. Liang Chihui greeted them with a smile, "Is the evidence sufficient?"
"Very sufficient." Zhao Kai also felt relieved. "Liang San exposed the false witness, and Mr. Liang provided the real witness. The Hu family is already at a disadvantage. Moreover, Mrs. Hu is suspected of defamation and blackmail."
Liang Chihui continued to ask, "What about He Sang?"
Zhao Kai frowned, "Mr. Liang is... picking her up for Ji Shen?"
