Chapter 241 Why Can't You Let It Go
An Zhixia was so angry that she laughed. Who was the one crying "stop thief"?
Director Li continued in a cold voice: "It seems that some people do not cherish this opportunity to confess and be lenient, so I will handle the matter impartially." He took out an envelope from his pocket and pulled out a stack of photos from it. "As the saying goes, if you don't want others to know, don't do it yourself. Yesterday was the spring performance group competition, and many reporters were invited to come and shoot interviews. Some reporters were walking backstage.
As luck would have it, someone filmed the criminal. Think about the two big hats on your head later, the crime of threatening national security and the crime of undermining collective unity. You will never get out of the police station in your lifetime!"
"Don't be so optimistic that you think I'm trying to scare you." Director Li looked at everyone and said solemnly, "I just want to see your attitude of admitting your mistakes, and I want to consider giving you some leniency."
But everyone still looked at each other, worried about the criminal.
An Zhixia glanced at the three people with a half-smile, and said softly: "The law is long and wide, and nothing can escape it. Money and power are good, but you also need life and freedom to enjoy them. Besides, your family will also be implicated, so you might as well confess, admit your mistakes, and reduce your crime.
Look around us, there are many examples of reporting for promotion. This time the crime is really serious, the leaders of our country and the leaders of neighboring countries are here, the situation is serious and you little minions can't bear it.
Remember, you only have this one chance, confess, and we will follow the clues to catch all the people who coerced you. Otherwise, even if you are arrested, they will be afraid that you will let the cat out of the bag, and they will take action against you and your family.
Who in this world would keep a secret forever? You better think about it carefully!"
After all, she is a queen-level figure. She has a strong aura and her words are full of oppression, coupled with her eyes that seem to see through everything.
Finally, a skinny apprentice couldn't stand the pressure anymore. He came out in despair and dejection, wiped his face and said, "It was me. I deliberately threw the cigarette butt onto the flammable fabric in the prop room, then hid in the room, and waited for everyone to come in to put out the fire before running out in the chaos.
A few days ago, I accidentally broke a set of lamps while drinking, and Chief Artist Zhang wanted to fire me and kick me out of the troupe. I knelt down and begged for a long time, and promised to help her teach Teacher Xiao An a lesson, so I was able to keep my job.
I didn't intend to make such a big deal out of it. It was just a few pieces of clothing, not really setting the house on fire. At most, it would make Teacher Xiao An look bad, and then Chief Artist Zhang would come forward to fill the gap with another batch of clothing."
"You're talking nonsense! An Zhixia must have given you some benefit to make you bite me!" Chief Artist Zhang yelled hysterically.
"Comrade Feng Simi also saw it," the man squatted down, covering his head.
Feng Simi, who was named, turned pale. Seeing everyone watching and looking at him with contempt, he was a little shaky. "I, I just passed by and saw him with Chief Artist Zhang. I didn't hear anything. If, if I heard it, could I not report it?
My mind was full of thoughts about the performance, and if he hadn’t said it, I wouldn’t have connected what happened that day with this incident.”
"Then please cooperate with our work and go to the police station. If you have nothing to do with this matter, you will be released," Director Li waved his hand, and the comrades in the police station stepped forward and made a gesture of invitation. "If you have anything to say, please leave it in the police station."
Chief Artist Zhang and Feng Simi were of course unwilling, but no matter what they said, those comrades pretended not to hear them, and even touched their waists and showed them silver bracelets that gleamed with cold light.
The two of them immediately backed off, but Chief Artist Zhang looked at An Zhixia unwillingly: "We can go, but Teacher Xiao An has to go too. Xiao Wang also talked to her a few days ago, and everyone saw it. Who knows if they have secretly contacted and planned this!"
Can you just go to the police station casually? Even if you go in to give a confession for no reason, the spit of everyone can drown you. You can find someone to take the blame, especially An Zhixia. Chief Artist Zhang, whose affairs have been exposed and cannot be reversed, feels a perverted balance in his heart.
"Okay, cooperating with the comrades in the police station in handling cases is the duty of every citizen." An Zhixia agreed very readily.
Director Hu also echoed, "Yes, yes, yes, it is right for each of us to stay and spend most of the day cooperating with the comrades in the police station to handle the case. If in the next few days, the comrades in the police station summon any of you to assist in the investigation, we must cooperate well and not allow others to make a rumor known to everyone and ruin their reputation.
Otherwise, the comrades in the police station will invite you to be their guests for a few days!"
Director Li nodded and said, "The charge of defamation is not a light one. Everyone should remember that the mouth can cause trouble. This matter involves national security and collective unity. We cannot discuss it casually!"
Everyone nodded in fear.
An Zhixia asked someone to give her brother a message, and then accompanied by Director Hu, she went to the General Bureau in the city center.
With the photos, Xiao Wang, the apprentice of the stage manager, could not escape the crime of arson. He confessed to it, but he was not a fool. When he accepted the threat from Chief Artist Zhang, he had already left a way out for himself. He provided the location of a batch of substitute performance costumes hidden by Chief Artist Zhang in addition to Feng Simi, the witness.
It was a warehouse that had not been used for a long time. There was a thin layer of dust on the ground, and the footprints left there were the same as those of Chief Artist Zhang. If footprints can be faked, then the handprints on the table can't be fake, right?
Chief Artist Zhang knew that the game was over, so he dropped his head like a defeated chicken and admitted his guilt.
However, the next day she was found dead after hitting her head against a wall, thus demonstrating her loyalty to the forces behind her and protecting her family from being implicated.
Everyone couldn't help but sigh when they heard about this. Chief Artist Zhang was already a grandmother, how could she still not let things go? In order to bet with Teacher Xiao An, she actually risked her life.
Feng Simi admitted during repeated interrogations that she had indeed heard the conversation between Xiao Wang and Chief Artist Zhang, but because of her selfishness she did not report it immediately and was detained for five days. Her position as the mainstay of the Youth Performance Troupe was definitely lost.
After receiving the message, An Zhiqiu was extremely worried, so he asked for leave with Fang Hongye and took a bus to the police station in the city center. They were relieved to see that the girl was really fine, and they did not go home, but stayed with her the whole time out of concern.
After things were settled, the three of them went to the theater to pack up their things and went home happily.
Watching her brother and sister-in-law unpacking her luggage, An Zhixia smiled and took out a stack of photos from her bag and handed them over.
