Chapter 24
Another comrade in the front row showed his public security credentials
As far as Xu Man knew, this speculation office was similar to the later Commerce and Industry Bureau
She was a student, why would the CID and CIB be looking for her?
Xu Man wondered, “I’m Xu Man, may I ask what you’re looking for me for?”
When the Xu family heard this, they all gathered around
Xu Man had to go out the door, giving up her position at the door
Xu Wen was the first to run out, while Xu Che and Sang Xiaoqing supported their grandmother at the end
“You are suspected of committing the crime of speculation, please come with us”
Zhu Meizhen was anxious to hear this, and immediately stood in front of Xu Wen, asking the comrades from the speculation office and several public security comrades: “Are you guys mistaken? My family ask is still a student in school, how could he commit the crime of speculation?”
“Right!”
“That’s right”
“Comrade, are you looking for the wrong person?”
The Xu family’s crowd spoke one way or the other, all of them feeling that this was a misunderstanding
The comrade standing at the front, glanced behind him, his eyes commanding
“Comrade Xu Man, are these notes and books yours?”
One of the staff members of the speculative office opened his handbag and held it up in front of Xu Man
Xu Man looked down, the notebooks are indeed his own, as for the books, the cover looks like the ones Wen Yiming sent, nodded: “They’re mine”
“Then you have not found the wrong person! Trouble with us back to accept the investigation” The public security comrade said with an iron face, took out a piece of paper and held it up in front of Xu Man, “This is an arrest warrant”
Xu Man was confused, but could not resist, nodded
Zhu Meizhen refused to get out of the way, “Comrade, we ask really did not violate the law, you can not arbitrarily arrest people ah!”
The leading comrade looked at the Xu family who had blocked Xu Man in three layers and three layers behind him and said, “Comrade, please rest assured We won’t let a bad person go and we won’t frame a good person The reason we’re asking Comrade Xu Man to come with us is to find out the truth of the matter If she is innocent, we will naturally release her However, if she’s guilty of illegal behavior, we’ll punish her severely according to the law If you obstruct the execution of your duties, we can hold you accountable as well”
Xu Man struggled to break free from Xu Wen’s grip, turning his head to look at the Xu family crowd first, “Grandma, mom, dad, brother and sister-in-law, Xiao Che, I’m not afraid of shadows, I didn’t do anything, and I’ll be back soon You guys don’t worry!” Then taking a step forward, he said to the comrades in the speculation office, “Let’s go!”
The Xu family reluctantly watched as Xu Man was taken away, panicked
“What’s to be done?” Grandma was so anxious that she pounded her cane
Zhu Meizhen was even more directly anxious and fainted with both eyes rolled back in her head
Xu Wen carried Zhu Meizhen back to the house and put her on the bed
Grandma was busy pinching Zhu Meizhen’s center to wake her up
As soon as she opened her eyes, Zhu Meizhen whimpered and cried, “What’s going on here? She was about to get married, so a way out comrades want to withdraw from the marriage how to do? How can you get into a speculation in a good cause?”
Zhu Meizhen’s question, no one in the Xu family can not answer, not a large room only her sobs
After a long time, Xu Qiushi stood up and walked out, “I’ll go find the captain He has acquaintances in the commune, let’s ask him to help us find out what’s going on”
Xu Wen shook his head, “Those people aren’t from our commune, they should be notified by the county or the city I’m afraid the people from the commune won’t be able to find out anything”
He didn’t see the words on his work permit when he left the house late
Zhu Meizhen was even more desperate when she heard this, patting her leg and crying
After all, Grandma was a seventy-year-old person who had been through a lot and was relatively calm She instructed Xu Wen, “Wenzi, go and find Yuanzheng I saw that on the day of his engagement to Ask, the two cadres in the commune were very nice to him, so go ask him if he has any contacts to ask around”
“Okay” Xu Wen answered and headed out
Grandma waved her hand, “Come on, nothing can be solved at home Go to work and go to school If you go out, you can still hear more! We’ve watched her grow up, and she’s always behaved herself In my opinion, this is just a misunderstanding, so don’t be too anxious”
The words are so, the family face is still worried, no one knows what is the situation of Xu Man
Xu Wen herself didn’t even know
She had thought about it all the way through, but she couldn’t figure out how she had gotten involved with speculation, and it was still so serious that a case had been filed
Xu Man was handed over to the comrades of the criminal investigation team by the comrades of the speculation office in front of her
Then was brought into the interrogation room to be interrogated
According to the public security comrade’s statement, is Xu Man as a speculation criminal gang leader and the main culprit, the amount of money involved in the case is too large, have to be criminally liable
In line with the principle of confessing to leniency and resisting to severity, it is hoped that Xu Man will give a clear account of the facts of the crime in order to reduce his sentence
The crime of speculation in this day and age is not explicitly defined and stipulated, and the judiciary usually categorizes the behavior of self-employed individuals who make a difference in price as speculation
According to the amount of money involved in the case, the light is notified to criticize, the heavy is sentenced to prison
General cases of speculation office will deal with, very serious cases will be transferred to the criminal investigation
There is no specialized economic investigation department in this era, economic crimes are also expensive criminal investigation pipe
Xu asked inexplicably became the amount of money involved in up to 100,000 pieces of speculation in the head of the criminal gang!
The point is that there are witnesses and physical evidence are not lacking
Especially the physical evidence, Xu Man body full of a hundred mouths, jump into the Yellow River can not wash
Ru Shan iron evidence is she just personally claimed the notes and book
The book is Wen Yiming sent those textbooks, each book from the center of the dig open, which is stuffed with a pile of brand new big tie
Xu Wen lent Wen Yiming the notebook, sandwiched between two large bankbooks with her name on them was the deadly evidence
The signature on the passbook is her handwriting, the two passbooks add up to 50,000 dollars, enough to Xu Man sentenced to three or five years
These days, two hundred dollars is enough for Xu Man and her family to eat and drink for a whole year, and fifty thousand dollars is an astronomical figure
Xu Man admitted that the notes and books are his own, do not admit that the money is his own, but also can not explain how the money came
Of course, you can say that the money is given by Wen Yiming, but why did Wen Yiming give her such a large sum of money?
She said she did not know, the comrades of the criminal investigation asked her why the passbook is the name of Xu Man?
These Xu asked can not answer, because she does not know
Xu asked not to know, Wen Yiming know It was he and his siblings who reported Xu Man
To be exact, it was Wen Yiming who dumped the pot on Xu Man after they were arrested
Wen Yiming’s testimony is that he and Xu Man were dating, Xu Man’s family is not in good condition, his sister-in-law has a bad pregnancy, and his family wants to buy a foundation to build a house, so they forced him to make money
If he didn’t agree, Xu Man would have to marry someone else
That other person is, of course, Lu Yuanzheng
In order to force him to make money, Xu Man got married to Lu Yuanzheng
Wen Yiming was afraid of losing Xu Man, so he took the risk of buying and selling goods from the south When he earns money, he sends it to Xu Man to beg her not to marry Lu Yuanzheng, and Xu Man accepts the money and promises to withdraw from the marriage with Lu Yuanzheng
Wen Yiming several times to see Xu asked in public, all have witnesses
His siblings also said that Wen Yiming received the news of Xu Man’s accident in the south business without saying a word and rushed back, losing thousands of dollars for nothing
Xu Man and Lu Yuanzheng engagement is indeed very hasty, skipped a few important rituals in a row, so that people look very hasty, said no ghosts who believe?
Xu Man’s first time in two lifetimes to enter a place like the interrogation room of the Criminal Police Bureau, was already a bit scared and nervous
Coupled with the staff’s strict attitude of public affairs, but also unable to concentrate on thinking, scared and trembling all over the body, teeth keep chattering
Xu Wen did not know whether Wen Yiming had premeditatedly set her up or had the temporary intention of catching her as a scapegoat In short, every step was well thought out, all traps targeting her
She would rather it be the former, if it is the latter, then Wen Yiming is too scary
The sky fell disaster, Xu Man was caught off guard, even self-evidence do not know where to start, only denied, do not recognize Wen Yiming’s accusations
The currently existing certified physical evidence was all extremely unfavorable to Xu Man, and if she couldn’t find evidence in her favor, she was bound to suffer a prison sentence
Xu Man took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down to think properly
But how could she not do so
She was too scared
A place like the interrogation room was already dark and windowless, making people feel especially depressed The interrogators were repeatedly putting pressure on Xu Man
Xu Man was so scared that tears kept welling up in her eyes
She was even more scared than when she first traveled to this era There was also aggression and despair
At this time, the door to the interrogation room was knocked on, and a four-pocketed cadre walked in
The two comrades in charge of the interrogation both stood up and called out in unison, “Captain”
That captain glanced at Xu Man, whispered a few words into those two comrades’ ears, glanced at Xu Man again and left
Those two comrades began to pack up the things on the table, and on their way out, they said to Xu Man, “Wait here for a while”
Xu Man didn’t know what had happened, but was more or less relieved With fewer aggressive interrogators, she finally had time to start thinking about the ins and outs of the matter
Trying to extract useful information from the interrogation just now as well as analyzing what she should do to save herself
That’s when Lu Yuanzheng arrived
He pushed open the door and turned his back to the bright light of the corridor, like a hero coming against the light
Xu Man raised her head, and the moment she saw Lu Yuanzheng, the tears she had been holding back for so long flowed down
I don’t know why, but my heart fell into place, and all the panic disappeared
Like a child who had been bullied and met his parents, he only felt aggrieved and relieved to be protected
Xu Man wanted to stand up, but realized that her legs were too weak to move
Lu Yuanzheng stopped in front of Xu Man, his large palm stretched out and rubbed the top of her head, just like he usually did with Dongsheng, softly saying, “I’m sorry, I’m late”
Xu Man shook her head and opened her arms to hug Lu Yuan Zheng, burying her head in his waist and whimpering
Lu Yuanzheng stiffened, raised his hand and patted Xu Man’s back gently, soothing her, “Don’t be afraid! I’m coming”
Xu Man was not the kind of little girl who only cried when things went wrong, and after venting for only a short while, she calmed down, let go of the hand circling Lu Yuanzheng’s waist, wiped her tears, and asked him with a thick nasal voice, “Why did you come?”
“Second Brother informed me A comrade of mine who has changed jobs happens to be in this team, so I asked for a favor and came to see you They’ve already told me the cause and effect Trust me, you’ll be fine”
There was a knock on the door panel of the interrogation room
Xu Man and Lu Yuanzheng turned around at the same time
The four pockets that Xu Wen had just seen stood at the door and coughed lightly, “That this is an interrogation room, so you guys pay attention to the impact Also, also want to say to you guys don’t get too happy too early first”
Lu Yuanzheng pointed to the four pockets to Xu asked, “He is my old comrade Lao He, also the captain here”
These days all uniforms, including military uniforms, had no shoulder rank and relied on clothing pockets to differentiate between cadres and subordinates
Those with four pockets on their jackets were cadres, and those with two pockets were unofficial
Xu Man nodded and greeted, “Good day, Captain He”
“Good day, sister-in-law!” Captain He walked in and sat down at the interrogator’s seat, looking up at Lu Yuanzheng, “Zhengzi, we’ve just looked at the evidence you provided It does save us a lot of work and it can also solidify Wen Yiming’s guilt, but if you want to clear your sister-in-law’s suspicion, you’re still a bit short of it, so you can’t take your sister-in-law away just yet This is the rule, so don’t make it difficult for me”
Although Xu Man was puzzled and Captain He was clearly quite a bit older than Lu Yuanzheng seemed to be, why did he call himself sister-in-law? And they weren’t even married But, as Captain He looked serious not flirting, and spoke of business, it wasn’t good for her to dwell on this little matter
At the very least, it was a trivial matter compared to the crime of speculation
Lu Yuanzheng also didn’t pay attention to this small matter, or rather didn’t think it was a matter at all, frowned and asked and the captain, “What else is missing?”
“You’ve only just arrived and probably don’t know that Wen Yiming accused his sister-in-law of being the mastermind And corrected his sister-in-law as a tainted witness The stolen money was also indeed found in sister-in-law’s dormitory, and two of the large deposits were indeed written in sister-in-law’s name Wen Yiming and his sister-in-law ,” Captain He glanced at Xu Man, “met with witnesses, including this time when he gave his sister-in-law the notes that hid the stolen money”
If this was said as a friend, Captain He would have said nothing, a bit like stirring up trouble But he was also a law enforcement officer and had to act impartially Even worse words, as long as they were the truth, they had to be said
“The only thing that doesn’t add up is Wen Yiming saying that his sister-in-law withdrew from you after receiving the money” Captain He added
Xu Man’s face went white with shame and embarrassment as he looked at Lu Yuanzheng and subconsciously explained, “I didn’t even know that the notebook had money with the book” So it wasn’t because of this that she wanted to withdraw from the marriage
Lu Yuanzheng nodded, “I know”
This matter is indeed a bit prickly
Wen Yiming stood on the main road next to the dormitory when he delivered the notebook to Xu Man, and many people saw it
Xu Man, however, had a hard time proving that he didn’t know there was money in there with the passbook
Can not say these, still can not take off from Wen Yiming this matter
The not so big interrogation room fell into silence
“There is actually a way ”
“I have a way to testify against myself!”
Lu Yuanzheng and Xu Man spoke at the same time
