Chapter 218 Send him to his death, the value of abandoning a child
In the district chief's office, Chang Wei looked extremely tired.
The caller ID from "sister" on the table kept vibrating, but Chang Wei ignored it and had no intention of answering the call.
He hadn't shaved for days, and sat on a large leather chair. He looked at Ma Xuan beside him with a gloomy face, and said in a low and slow voice: "After this is over, you plan to arrange a long vacation for me, right?"
Ma Xuan said with a fake smile on his face:
"Yes, Feng Mu is Li Bashan's junior fellow apprentice, and Li Bashan has taken refuge with the warden. If Feng Mu gets into trouble in your prison area, the warden and Li Bashan will blame you, regardless of whether there is evidence or not."
Ma Xuan paused and continued, "Brother Zhou Hu gave you a vacation afterwards, which was equivalent to letting you avoid the wrath of the warden and the reckless Li Bashan. It was also for your consideration. Don't think too much about it."
Chang Wei smoked one cigarette after another, and sneered hoarsely: "So, when I come back from vacation, can I still sit in my current position?"
Ma Xuan seemed to have anticipated this question. He answered without hesitation: "Your position is stable. This vacation is just to keep you away from trouble for a while. When you come back, everything will be the same as before."
Ma Xuan hesitated for a moment, and in order to make his words more persuasive and credible, he deliberately emphasized his tone and added:
"As long as Brother Zhou Hu is still in this position, no one can take your place."
Chang Wei did not respond to Ma Xuan's comfort. He just smoked silently, his eyes struggling, as if he was thinking about something.
The atmosphere in the office became heavy, with only the ticking sound of the clock reminding us of the passage of time.
Suddenly, Chang Wei pressed the cigarette butt hard into the ashtray, as if he had made a final decision.
He stared at Ma Xuan with emotion, "I still remember that when you first came to the Second Prison, you worked as a prison guard under me. I didn't expect that today, you are the one who sends me away, hehe——"
Ma Xuan was also filled with emotion and consoled him, "It's just a vacation. You will come back after the dust settles."
Chang Wei laughed wildly as if he heard a funny joke, while Ma Xuan just stood there in awkward silence.
After a while, Chang Wei stopped laughing and rejected the vibrating phone on the table. On the desktop screen was a photo of him, his sister, and his nephew.
His sister divorced early and Chang Wei never married, so he always treated Chang Qingsen as his own son.
Chang Wei glanced at the screen of his mobile phone and said in a hoarse voice: "I am not as smart as you, but I am not a fool. I can sense that the wind direction in the Second Prison has changed."
"Forget it, I won't say anything. Please tell Brother Zhou Hu that I won't ask him for anything. But I only have this one nephew. How can I ask him to remember what he promised me?"
Ma Xuan nodded. He had just had his first child two months ago, so he understood and sympathized with Chang Wei's feelings.
Chang Wei suddenly stood up, tore off his prison guard uniform, threw it on the sofa, and then strode out, sending text message replies as he walked.
——Send him on his way!
Ma Xuan slightly moved aside to make way, while his peripheral vision inadvertently swept across the phone screen, and a false smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "You left in such a hurry, don't you want to stay and see the result?"
Chang Wei paused for a moment and sneered, "I spent so much effort to drug him, tamper with the electric baton, and even bomb him. I spent so much effort to lay the groundwork, how could Feng Mu still be alive?"
"Since he's going to die, what's so good about his corpse? I've been seeing corpses every day in the Second Prison for these years, I'm tired of it now, right?"
Ma Xuan frowned: "What I mean is that he replaced your nephew's place after all."
Chang Wei sneered: "So I agreed to do this, but a man who has been in prison for a few days and can't collect a penny, and who can't bear to beat up the prisoners, do you think he will attack my nephew for a mere quota?"
"Of course, he deserves to die because he took my nephew's place, but the people who helped him behind the scenes are even more damnable, whether it's Li Bashan or the warden."
Chang Wei didn't wait for Ma Xuan to speak, and stared at the latter's eyes behind the lenses, and said word by word: "Didn't you tell me all this?"
Ma Xuan remained silent.
Chang Wei smiled wryly: "Well, it's time for me to go on vacation. You guys can handle collecting the bodies yourself."
Bang! With a heavy slam, the office door was slammed shut.
Outside the door, Chang Wei's voice faded away: "Hey, sister, don't let your imagination run wild. I just asked the leader of the Second Prison for help. He will definitely help me find Qingsen..."
Ma Xuan stood there, listening to the voice gradually disappear at the end of the corridor. He then slowly took out his cell phone, edited a message, and sent it to two people at the same time:
——Everything went as planned and Chang Wei has gone on vacation.
The warden's office.
Zhou Hu picked up his phone and glanced at it, then stood up and walked to the window, looking at the huge iron gate under the high wall. After a while, he saw the iron gate open to a gap that was only wide enough for one person to pass through, and a lonely figure walked out.
The iron gate closed, as if isolating the figure outside the gate forever.
At the same time, in the warden's office.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Behind three layers of explosion-proof glass, Qian Huan was sitting in front of the computer, operating the mouse and switching to the surveillance of the entrance and exit.
Through the surveillance camera's focus and magnification, Qian Huan could see much more clearly than Zhou Hu. He could even clearly see the unnatural slight twitching of Chang Wei's eye muscles when he stepped over the iron gate.
"It seems that our District Chief Chang Wei is reluctant to leave our prison, but unfortunately, as a chess piece, sometimes being abandoned is his greatest value."
Qian Huan turned off the screen and deleted the text messages on his phone before speaking with a smile to forensic doctor Qin Liang outside the explosion-proof glass.
Qin Liang was sitting on the sofa outside the glass. He sighed and said, "Poor Chang Wei helped Zhou Hu do the dirty work for more than ten years, but in the end he ended up like this. How miserable."
Qin Liang paused and changed his tone slightly, "So, Feng Mu is the abandoned pawn chosen by Warden Qian?"
Qian Huan thought for a moment and said with a smile: "That's not the case. Feng Mu has never been my man, so how can I say that I have abandoned him? At best, I was just secretly fanning the flames, hoping to use his death to activate another chess piece of my choice."
Qin Liang uttered a name: "Li Bashan!"
Qian Huan laughed and said, "Does Forensic Doctor Qin think that Li Bashan's strength is really only the fourth rank registered for employment?"
Qin Liang thought for a moment: "After all, the real world is not a game. The grade level is not directly displayed above the head like the game character. We can only judge based on the records on paper. As for the authenticity or timeliness, they can be manipulated manually."
Qin Liang often manipulates the causes of death of corpses, so he knows the ins and outs of it very well. If dead people can be manipulated, isn't there more room for manipulation of living people?
Qin Liang asked hesitantly, "Why, Warden Qian, do you think Li Bashan is hiding his strength?"
Qian Huan didn't have any evidence, but he believed in his keen intuition about danger. He smiled and said, "I don't know, but I think Li Bashan's knife will be very sharp if used well."
Qin Liang did not ask any more questions and said, "I understand. I will make Feng Mu's autopsy report complete and beautiful later."
Knock, knock, knock! Just then, a knock on the door suddenly sounded, interrupting their conversation.
Then, a figure that Qin Liang, the forensic doctor, never expected walked in...
