Death sentence turned into acquittal? Who told him to be a detective!

Chapter 224 Supervisory Committee! Arrest People! [Seeking Monthly Tickets!]

What do you mean?
The policeman in front of him snorted coldly.

"It has nothing to do with you!"

After speaking, the policeman checked the time, stopped dawdling, and waved behind him.

"take away!"

Upon hearing this, several police officers immediately stepped forward, pulled out handcuffs, and prepared to arrest the person.

Zhao Hailong's pupils contracted, and he instinctively tried to run away, but the police officer in front of him was clearly trained and subdued him directly.

"Crack!"

The crisp sound of handcuffs rang out, and then Zhao Hailong felt a cold touch on his wrists.

"Give me ten minutes! I just need ten minutes!!!"

Zhao Hailong struggled continuously, his face showing horror.

"There's a misunderstanding here, a real misunderstanding, and I need to explain it to Liu Shengnan!"

"I'm not familiar with Zhang Yong. I was just hired by him to handle the lawsuit. This matter has nothing to do with me!"

"."

His voice grew fainter and fainter until, after a long while, he disappeared from sight.

Cheng Jia offered no resistance throughout, just smiled foolishly as she was taken away by the police.

Looking at the other person's appearance, the captain clicked his tongue slightly.

"Tsk, one case has driven him insane."

He shook his head slightly, but he still couldn't understand the other person.

no way.

He wasn't Cheng Jia; he didn't have that feeling of racking his brains, giving it his all, and seeing things seemingly getting better on the surface, only to be completely controlled by someone else.

In front of the other person, Cheng Jia felt like a naked plaything, her every move anticipated and even a trap laid for her to fall into.
"gone."

The captain shook his head. It was getting late; it was 5:30 in the afternoon. In just a few more minutes, dusk would be falling.

He needs to expedite the trial and doesn't have time to waste here.

Thinking of this, he didn't hesitate any longer and left with his men.

"Close the team!"

at the same time.

Jiangcheng.

At 5:30, civil servants have already left work, especially judges in the courts.

They are usually very punctual when they get off work, especially in a county-level city.

Unless there are major cases, the panel of judges will not discuss them, and since cases are heard at fixed times, there is naturally little reason to work overtime.

Liu Shengnan and Zhang Hong clocked out of get off work early.

The two stood in the dilapidated neighborhood, which was also their home.

Liu Shengnan was cooking dinner in the kitchen at that moment.

The grand finale dish for dinner was a baby lobster!
There were three small green dragons in total, which can be considered as lobsters.

This was given to me by Zhang An from the kimchi factory. According to him, Zhang An delivered a batch of goods to a coastal city and then bought some locally. They were worthless and were dead when he bought them. The vegetable market was going to dispose of them, but he managed to snag them at a bargain price.

Then, since they couldn't finish it, they gave it to Liu Shengnan.

Liu Shengnan felt she was quite lucky. Looking at the plump lobster in front of her, a slight smile appeared on her face, and she was about to cook it.
“Knock knock knock!!!”

Suddenly, a knocking sound rang out.

Liu Shengnan paused for a moment, then put down the knife in his hand, looked puzzled, and walked towards the main entrance in his slippers.

Zhang Hong, who was watching TV in the living room, also looked puzzled.

Liu Shengnan walked to the door, turned the doorknob, and the next second...
"squeak!"

The moment the door opened, a group of people dressed in black suits and wearing red scarves appeared in front of them.

The man in the lead had a resolute expression and looked very serious and unsmiling.

Just as Liu Shengnan was about to ask the man about his background, the man in front of her introduced himself.

"From the Provincial Supervisory Commission."

Shi Ming looked at Liu Shengnan in front of him and took out his ID.

Supervisory Commission?

It's from the Provincial Supervisory Commission!?
Upon hearing this, Liu Shengnan looked surprised, her eyes filled with confusion.

What is the Supervisory Commission?
literal meaning.

However, the "supervision" in the Supervisory Commission is not the same as the "supervision" in prison, but rather the supervision!

In other words, the other party is specifically monitoring Liu Shengnan, Zhang Hong, and Sun Chuan, and they generally don't come out easily. If you see them at home, it basically means something has happened.

"This is what you are."

Zhang Hong stood up, looking at the person in front of him with trepidation.

He didn't think this was an arrest.

They're just from a county-level city, how could they possibly attract the attention of people from the province to arrest them?!
But things backfired.

"Upon receiving instructions from higher authorities, it was found that Liu Shengnan of the Jiangcheng Court and Zhang Hong of the Jiangcheng Bureau of Justice were suspected of accepting bribes due to conflicts of interest."

"You two are now being detained in accordance with the law!"

Shi Ming began to speak.

People behind them entered the room from both sides, and in an instant, a huge crowd surged in.

Liu Shengnan and Zhang Hong's expressions changed.

Arrest them!
"Boss, isn't there some misunderstanding?!"

Liu Shengnan looked around in a panic as people searched everywhere, her eyes filled with helplessness, completely unlike the firm attitude she had shown during the first trial.

"We...we are very honest and upright!"

"Yes."

Zhang Hong was also a little anxious, and he quickly echoed, pointing to his own family's property:
"Look, boss, this is just an old, dilapidated apartment. My home is only 100 square meters in total."

"I also opted for the cheapest renovation options!"

"The two of them don't have much money in their savings combined, how could they possibly be breaking the law!?"

Upon hearing this, a hint of amusement flashed in Shi Ming's eyes.

honest?

He received solid information!
In a daze, a man in black walked out of the kitchen, carrying three green dragons in his hand, and gestured to Shi Ming.

Shi Ming immediately laughed, pointing at the lobster and saying:

"Wow, a blue dragon! A wavy lobster!"

"The food is pretty good, even better than mine."

Seeing this, Liu Shengnan immediately became anxious, and she quickly explained:
"No. It's dead. My friend gave it to me; it only cost a dozen or so yuan."

Before she could finish speaking, Shi Ming's face instantly turned cold, and he let out a cold snort.

"Ha, Judge Liu, you'd better stop fooling yourself!"

"Is it so fresh it just died? It's more like the delivery guy just killed it right in front of your house!"

Green dragon is very expensive; ordinary people have to grit their teeth to afford it.

These three lobsters weigh at least 1.5 pounds each.

Judging from prices, each of these three would cost at least three hundred yuan!

Even if it's not frozen, a piece of this size from later times would cost four or five hundred without processing!
In 2005, the average wage was only around 1,000 yuan, so the three green dragons earned more than an average person's monthly salary.
"Furthermore, do you think you can die from eating something that only costs a few dollars?"

Shi Ming sneered.

Even if it were dead, Qinglong would be something that ordinary people couldn't afford to eat.

Don't you even know the common sense that seafood will become rotten and inedible if it's not frozen overnight after dying?
Is Liu Shengnan an idiot?!

Or.
"Are you genuinely ignorant, or are you deliberately pretending not to understand?" Shi Ming sneered.

Upon hearing this, Liu Shengnan's expression immediately turned to shock.

"I don't know, I really don't know!"

"I'll go and cancel it right away."

Zhang Hong hurriedly explained, "That's right, we didn't eat anything, we didn't even touch it. We'll return it right away. We're both truly honest and upright; you can check the fund transfer, sir!"

Shi Ming's amused smile deepened.

He actually didn't understand these market prices, and he didn't know about these brands even decades ago before he took the civil service exam.

However, decades of work by the supervisory committee have passed.

What hasn't he seen?!
"I heard that Mr. Zhang enjoys practicing calligraphy in his spare time?" Shi Ming suddenly paused. He suddenly rolled his eyes and looked at the wall, where Xuan paper covered the entire wall.

The characters above were all written by Zhang Hong.

Not exactly beautiful, but definitely far beyond the average person!
What Shi Ming was concerned about was...
"Tsk, this paper isn't cheap. Paper for practicing calligraphy must cost at least eight thousand, if not ten thousand."

Shi Ming clicked his tongue in amazement.

Zhang Hong's face was deathly pale, his lips moved but he didn't say a word.

But Shi Ming seemed oblivious and continued to offer his evaluation.

"Xuan paper, this stuff is incredibly expensive."

How expensive can a piece of paper be?

Let's say that.

If you want to practice calligraphy, you can't do it without some money at home!
A ream of paper, even the roughest kind, costs tens of dollars these days, and it's only enough for three or four days of practice, at most a week before it's used up.

And what about the more expensive ones?
"Extra-fine single-layer Xuan paper, with over 80% sandalwood bark content, boasting rich layers of ink color, wow."

"High-end goods!"

Shi Ming sighed.

This wasn't the first time he'd seen this thing; decades of work experience allowed him to immediately recognize its value.

"A ream of paper costs at least five hundred yuan, and it's used up in two or three days. And you've developed this kind of handwriting?"

"Not to mention ink and brush, the paper alone costs tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands."

It costs 500 yuan in three or four days; just buying paper in a week can consume a normal person's monthly salary.
As he spoke, Shi Ming looked at Zhang Hong and Liu Shengnan with admiration.

"Jiangcheng, is the welfare and benefits in a county-level city really that good!?"

"This can be called being honest and upright."

"How about I resign from my job at the Provincial Supervisory Commission? Could you two please make an exception for me and let me experience these benefits too?"

Listen to what's being said.

Zhang Hong and Liu Shengnan's faces grew paler and paler.

Seeing this, Shi Ming didn't bother with further words and simply turned cold, saying:
"take away!"

With a wave of his hand, he ordered his men to take the person away, and he himself turned to leave.

Seeing that the other party was serious, Liu Shengnan and Zhang Hong were instantly frightened.

No, I don't know!

"I really didn't know he just said it was ordinary paper, made for people to write on, so I tried it myself. I practiced calligraphy on ordinary paper!"

"Believe me, I've never taken any money, I've never taken any. If you don't believe me, go ask other people. They all just shut down and kicked me out!"

"If all else fails, I'll pay! I'll pay! Consider it my purchase!"

"."

Shi Ming watched coldly as the two were dragged away.

The neighbors had already noticed the commotion and opened their doors to see the two people being dragged away. They didn't dare say anything, just gathered in the hallway, looking at each other in bewilderment.

Even when Liu Shengnan arrived, she hurriedly left and hid to the side, afraid of being implicated.

Liu Shengnan and Zhang Hong gradually disappeared into the corridor. They had long lost their former authority, leaving only snot and tears on the ground.

Shi Ming took one last look at the other person's house.

The other party has no money.

But all I'm doing is running out of money!
Everything is available except for money.

Piano lessons, gifted students, wavy lobsters, Xuan paper, ink, calligraphy brushes.
Even if you pick one at random, it's not something an ordinary person could handle!

See this.

Shi Ming smiled dismissively, then turned and left.

His figure disappeared.

Only then did the neighbors dare to speak, and they began to discuss it amongst themselves.

"What's going on with Old Zhang's family? Why were they taken away by a bunch of people?"

"Do you want to call the police?"

"Report what? I've heard that these people can even be controlled by the police!"

"The police can intervene? Who is this person?"

What did Zhang Hong and Liu Shengnan do?

"."

No one knew what they had done, not even Liu Shengnan and Zhang Hong.

They racked their brains but couldn't figure out who they had offended, or even who they had been taken away from.
They didn't feel that they had violated any laws or regulations.

but it does not matter.

They didn't know that Shi Ming could help them remember!
Therefore, Liu Shengnan and Zhang Hong were "invited" to the police station, and of course, they were not the only ones invited to the police station.

Everything, big or small, is related to the Zhang brothers, Zhang An and Zhang Yong.
They appeared in the detention room!
Of course, things won't end so simply, since the authorities have no intention of suppressing the matter at all.

The day.

4 month 20 day.

A car sped along the highway, heading towards Hanhai City.

"Driver, faster! We'll pay more, can you go even faster?!"

Inside the car, Zhang Tao and Li Ye's hearts were pounding, and they anxiously urged the driver to hurry up.

Upon hearing this, the master's lips twitched.

"Oh dear, my foot is already inside the engine!"

"Any faster and we'll have to fly to Hanhai City!"

The car was already going 130 km/h.

He couldn't keep up with any faster speeds; he felt like the car was going to overturn.
Zhang Tao and Li Ye knew this, but their inner anxiety kept urging them on.

This is breaking news! This is breaking news!!!
Only a handful of people know this right now; they have inside information!
Zhang Tao only needed to recall briefly before he became incredibly excited, clearly knowing just how explosive Xu Liang's actions had been.
The driver continued driving.

We kept overtaking other vehicles along the way, and after about half an hour, we could see the area of ​​Hanhai City.

finally.

It's 7:30 PM.

Zhang Tao and Li Ye finally returned to the front of [Langke Media Culture Co., Ltd.].

The money has been settled.

Without hesitation, Zhang Tao stepped onto the elevator and arrived at the floor where the company was located.

Media companies often have long working hours, and sometimes even after people have gone home, they are called back to work if there is any breaking news.

The same applies to the Ronin Company at this time.

Although Hanhai City has been very stable in recent months.

However, things were in complete chaos in Sunzhou.

Radiation contamination of steel cannot be dealt with in a day or two, and the physical discomfort caused by contaminated steel cannot be recovered in a short time.

Because the company missed the opportunity to report on this case, they have been ordered by their superiors to keep a close eye on it, make continuous corrections, and release information over the past two months in an attempt to reduce some of the losses.

Therefore, many people in the company are still working overtime right now.

"boom!"

Zhang Tao suddenly burst through the door, panting as he scanned the room.

Upon seeing him arrive, some people immediately became unhappy.

While they were working overtime, Zhang Tao was out sightseeing, ostensibly on a business trip.

But they all know that.

The other party clearly just wanted to see a civil case that nobody was paying attention to!
It's a civil case, what's so noteworthy about that? But not only did the higher-ups agree, they even gave Zhang Tao additional funding and promoted him to team leader!
This stark contrast immediately evoked a sour feeling in one's voice:

"Hehe, who do we have here?"

"Isn't this Reporter Zhang? Oh, now you should call me Team Leader Zhang."

Hear the words.

Zhang Tao frowned and subconsciously looked at the crowd, only to see that it was someone who had joined the company at the same time as him and was still working overtime who was speaking to him.

The other party and he had never gotten along. If it were any other time, Zhang Tao would definitely have said something.

but now.
"I've uncovered a breaking news story!!!"

Unable to suppress his emotions, Zhang Tao's face revealed unprecedented excitement and agitation. Ignoring the other person, he hurriedly spoke:

"Where's the editor-in-chief? Where did the editor-in-chief go?!"
