Qi Tongwei at the start: Not relying on Liang Lu, but winning by a single move against Heaven.

Inside the temporary office of the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection in Fuyuan County, Zhang Wei sensed that something was amiss today.

It's almost noon, and the routine morning inquiry hasn't even started yet.

When he delivered lunch, he grabbed a staff member and asked with a smile.

"Director, why weren't you questioned this morning? I've gathered some new clues..."

The staff member didn't even look at him, put down the lunchbox, and casually replied.

"Oh, Jin Hu has been captured... the clues you have aren't very valuable anymore..."

After saying that, the staff member added another sentence.

"Eat quickly, we might get asked about it this afternoon..."

Zhang Wei was taken aback at first, glanced at the staff, and couldn't help but chuckle to himself.

"They've resorted to this tactic; Jin Hu is caught, and Li Guofu will be in jail too..."

With that thought in mind, he ignored the staff and started eating lunch.

The staff didn't say anything, watched him finish his meal, then cleared away the tableware and turned to leave.

At 2 p.m., the room door was opened, and the same staff member waved to him.

"Zhang Wei, routine questioning, come with me..."

The following procedures were routine, and Zhang Wei was familiar with them.

However, today there was an additional person asking the question, a young woman named Li Haili.

After Zhang Wei sat down, the presiding judge pointed at Li Haili and asked in a deep voice.

"Zhang Wei, do you know her?"

Zhang Wei was taken aback and carefully examined Li Haili.

It looks familiar, but I can't quite place where I've seen it before.

After a moment's thought, he shook his head and replied.

"I don't recognize him. Maybe I've seen him at work, but I don't remember him..."

The staff member snorted and nodded to Li Haili, who immediately understood.

She stood up, walked slowly to Zhang Wei, and a fierce glint appeared in her eyes.

"Zhang Wei, don't you recognize me? Didn't you say I have great skin, that it's so smooth it'll ooze water if you pinch it?"

Look, how's my skin doing now?

Zhang Wei was stunned. He stared at Li Haili for a long time, his face turned pale instantly, and he exclaimed in surprise.

"You're Li Haili? Didn't you leave Fuyuan? Didn't you die long ago?"

Li Haili sneered, staring intently at Zhang Wei's face, and said viciously.

"I'm dead? Even if you die, I won't die."

Even if I die, I'll drag you down with me!

"I'll make you pay for the lives of those thirteen people from back then..."

Seeing that Li Haili was somewhat agitated, the staff immediately spoke up to remind her.

"Comrade Haili, calm down. Zhang Wei's conviction is inevitable; the only question is how much he will be sentenced to."

Control your emotions, getting angry will harm your health...

Li Haili snorted coldly, pointed at Zhang Wei, and said in a trembling voice.

"Comrade, I think there's no need to ask anymore. My testimony and Jin Hu's testimony are enough to convict them..."

Zhang Wei was stunned and looked at the staff member with disbelief.

"Jin...Jin Hu has really been arrested?"

The staff member glanced at him and snorted coldly.

"Golden Tiger? He should be called Tang San... He was captured three days ago."

Okay, I don't have time to argue with you, so you're not going to tell me, huh...

The questioning is over. You can sign here and go home.

After saying that, the staff member stood up, took the inquiry record, and was about to have Zhang Wei sign it.

Zhang Wei broke down instantly, raising his hands and shouting.

"I told you, I told you everything... It was all Li Guofu, it was all Li Guofu who made me do it..."

As Zhang Wei recounted the events, the details of the 83 Dayou Township mine disaster gradually came to light.

On August 13, 1983, a sudden fire broke out at the old mine in Dayou Township.

As the township head, Zhang Wei reported the situation to County Head Li Guofu immediately after learning about it.

Fearing the fire would get out of control and cause a gas explosion, Li Guofu ordered the mine to be shut down immediately.

After sealing the well, Li Guofu worried that the case was too big and that his superiors would hold him accountable.

They concealed the truth about the mine accident, changing the fire to a roof collapse and hiding the number of fatalities.

To appease the crowd and prevent those responsible from taking the blame, Li Guofu instructed Tang San to take the fall.

The major mining disaster was packaged as a criminal case and hastily closed...

After listening to Zhang Wei's explanation, the staff didn't say anything and directly asked Zhang Wei to sign for confirmation.

They all knew that Zhang Wei's words were exaggerated, but they didn't care.

For them, this statement was enough; they could report it to their superiors.

Zhang Wei's statement was sent to the city that same day.

The Municipal Standing Committee immediately issued instructions to place Li Guofu and Gao Gui under investigation.

On the same day, Li Guofu and Gao Gui were both sent to the investigation site where Zhang Wei was working.

After Li Guofu was placed under investigation, Fuyuan County also responded quickly.

Chen Sichao immediately conducted a surprise interrogation of Jin Hu.

When Li Guofu's arrest warrant was slapped in front of Jin Hu.

This stubborn individual, who wouldn't open his mouth even after having his teeth knocked out, cried his eyes out.

Then, a completely new version of the mining disaster story emerged.

Jin Hu's account of the mining accident was almost identical to Zhang Wei's.

However, in his account, he claimed that he caused the fire in the mine disaster.

The person who helped him change his name was not Li Guofu, but Zhang Wei.

Faced with this flawed confession, Chen Sichao didn't nitpick; he only asked one question.

Where did the bodies from the mining accident go?

Jin Hu was quite a bachelor, and his answer was very straightforward.

"After Li Haili ran away, I dug her up and burned her."

......

These two different testimonies were delivered to Qi Tongwei at almost the same time.

After reading the two confessions, Qi Tongwei noticed something very strange.

In his confession, Zhang Wei completely absolved himself of responsibility, shifting all blame onto Li Guofu.

Jin Hu's confession, which took on so much responsibility, was clearly an attempt to protect Li Guofu.

Although the two testimonies are inconsistent, neither of them mentions a key figure: Cheng Shizhong.

Qi Tongwei knew perfectly well that Cheng Shizhong couldn't possibly be unaware of such a significant matter.

But after reading the statement, he said nothing and made no comment.

For him, this matter is now over.

Those who needed to be arrested have been arrested, and the facts that needed to be clarified have been clarified.

The subsequent trial and sentencing are not things he should worry about or can control.

It's not that he didn't want to be a upright judge like Bao Zheng and get to the bottom of things.

In truth, he lacked the qualifications to be a high-ranking official like Bao Zheng.

The investigation of Li Guofu will not have a significant impact on the actual leadership of Fuyuan Group.

However, Gao Gui's being placed under investigation has had some impact.

After all, Gao Gui has been working with the oil field to build roads, and Fu Yuan is about to develop the coalfield, so a good road is essential.

Qi Tongwei immediately convened a meeting of the leadership team to adjust the vacancy of Gao Gui and have Wu Shanheng fill the position.

Just as the meeting was halfway through, Li Haili and a group of family members of the deceased miners arrived.

Upon receiving the news, Qi Tongwei had everyone invited into the conference room.

Li Haili cried for an unknown amount of time, her eyes were red and swollen from crying.

When she entered the office, she was holding a banner in her hands, still sobbing uncontrollably.

"Thank you to the government... thank you Secretary Qi, for restoring justice to us and clearing our names..."

After saying that, she turned to kneel down, but Qi Tongwei immediately grabbed her.

His movements were a bit too forceful, which aggravated his wound, causing him to wince in pain.

Looking at the eight characters on the banner, "Injustice redressed, wholeheartedly serving the people," Qi Tongwei frowned.

He looked around at the team members and said in a deep voice.

"Comrades, eight years! These people have waited eight long years for this day."

He pointed at Li Haili and said in a deep voice.

Eight years ago, she was eighteen; now she's twenty-six...

How many eight-year periods does a person have in their lifetime? They say justice may be delayed, but it will never be absent...

Let me ask you all, can justice that is delayed be called justice?

Who can give her back those eight years of her youth?

After he finished speaking, the conference room fell into a deathly silence, with only occasional sobs.

He looked around at everyone and asked in a deep voice.

"We made the people wait for eight years, and they even sent us a banner of appreciation..."

I'd like to ask everyone here, should we accept this banner?

No one answered; the silence remained.

Seeing that no one spoke, Qi Tongwei snorted coldly and raised his voice a few decibels.

"In my opinion, it should be taken away! Not only should it be taken away, but it should also be displayed prominently!"

It's hanging right here in this conference room. Upside down!

Let us all learn this lesson and remember what it means to be wholeheartedly for the people...

While Qi Tongwei and his team were receiving visitors,

Li Guangran's Jeep 212 is speeding along Provincial Highway 303.

He sat in the back seat, clutching his briefcase tightly, his face grave...
