Director Sun lowered his head and took a sip of water, licked his lips, shook his head, and said slowly:
"We went to the Chengdong Police Station today to confirm. There was no record of calling the police that night, and they didn't receive any Brother Tao..."
What?
Li Ji's body trembled, and with a bang, the bag in his hand fell to the ground!
"How could it be? Did you make a mistake!"
After a moment, Li Ji suddenly woke up and couldn't help shouting.
"That night, I clearly went to the Chengdong Police Station, and Director Wang personally interrogated me..."
Li Ji's face turned pale, his voice was rapid, and he could hardly breathe.
"Look, this is the statement they issued." Director Sun took out a piece of paper from his bag and spread it on the table. "On the night you mentioned, there was no record of any police calls from the Chengdong Police Station."
"Director Sun, I didn't lie to you, I really went there!"
Li Ji was so anxious that he almost cried.
But he immediately remembered that he did not take any notes that night. At that time, I was secretly glad that there was no criminal record, but now the evidence is gone.
"Without written records, how can we prove that you have been there," Director Sun said with a bright smile and a calm tone, "The key is that the Chengdong Police Station said there was no such thing."
"Director Sun, you can ask them. There were many people there that day..."
Li Ji said loudly, trying hard to grab something.
"I remembered that there was a police officer named Song who took me up that night." Li Ji's eyes lit up, "Director Sun, you can ask him!"
"Police officer named Song? You're talking about Xiao Song, right?"
Director Sun blinked.
"Yes, yes! That's Officer Song, the pretty young one."
Li Ji nodded and said anxiously.
Director Sun smiled slightly, smelling of alcohol: "Officer Song is here too. He was on duty that day, and he said he didn't know anyone came to call the police."
"He lied!" Li Ji was extremely angry.
"Li Ji! Stop making up nonsense!" Director Sun's expression changed, and he slammed the table, "I've already given you a chance, but it's because you are stubborn and have illusions, and are unwilling to confess... ..."
"This is a false accusation! It's nothing to do with Shadow!"
Li Ji was angry and anxious.
"Everyone says that you won't give up until you reach the Yellow River. Li Ji, you won't give up until you reach the Yellow River." The smile on Director Sun's face disappeared and he said angrily, "Now that the evidence is conclusive, what else do you have to say?"
"Director Sun, I want to confront Ma Tao!"
"Confront him in person?" Director Sun snorted and sneered, "Go to the Public Security Bureau to confront him."
"Go to the Public Security Bureau?" Li Ji was stunned.
"Yes!" Director Sun's face straightened, "The Public Security Bureau has been notified and their people will arrive soon."
Li Ji was stunned.
His whole body was stiff, and his eyes were black, as if a huge boulder had hit his heart heavily, and his brain went blank for an instant.
At this time, Director Sun's cell phone rang. He picked it up, took a look at it, stood up, and walked quickly to the door.
Li Ji's lips were trembling and he was breathing heavily, but he couldn't utter a single word. He held the back of the chair and sat down slowly.
"President Li, are you okay?"
Ronaldinho picked up the bag on the ground, handed it to Li Ji's hand, and stuffed Li Ji's cell phone that he had been holding into it.
Li Ji curled his fingers and held the bag in his hand. He looked directly at Ronaldinho, with a dry smile on his face.
"Comrade Li Ji, let's go."
Director Sun walked in and tilted his head at Li Ji. Li Ji stood up blankly, with a sound in his throat, and slowly moved away, heading towards the door.
It's not completely dark yet. There were no lights on in the corridor, and it was all gray.
"Go to Mr. Ye first."
The three of them walked into the elevator, Director Sun said.
The elevator door slowly closed.
The feeling of depression suddenly fell away. After a while, Li Ji's breathing suddenly became smoother. He couldn't help but feel humiliated by his performance just now.
What are you afraid of when you go to the police station?
Anyway, I didn’t take any bribes, so there’s nothing to be afraid of. No matter what, you can't blatantly describe black as white.
In a clear world and a society governed by law, how can there be no place for reasoning?
Thinking like this, Li Ji's mood gradually calmed down, and his pale face also gained some color.
The elevator stops.
The three of them got out of the elevator and came to Ye Xin's office door. The door was open, and the voices of several people talking came from inside.
Director Sun wiped his face hard with both hands, worked hard with his mouth, tugged on the shirt on his chest, took two steps forward, and knocked lightly on the door a few times.
"The door is open, come in."
Ye Xin's voice was very soft.
The three of them walked into the house.
Li Ji found two people wearing police uniforms sitting on the sofa. Ye Xin was sitting at his desk, frowning and looking at a piece of paper in his hand.
"Xiao Li, tell me, what is going on?"
Seeing the three people walking in, Ye Xin raised her head and looked at Li Ji.
"President Ye..."
Li Ji's chest felt hot and he stepped forward quickly.
"This is a comrade from the Public Security Bureau." Ye Xin pointed.
"I didn't take bribes!"
Li Ji gasped for air without even looking, trying his best to search for the most appropriate words in his mind.
"I don't know anyone from Dongsheng Construction Company at all. The 10,000 yuan is for them to return the money they took from me..."
Li Ji's mouth was sour and his words sounded like tongue twisters.
"Return your money?"
Ye Xin raised her eyebrows, looking puzzled.
"Yes, that was my money!"
Li Ji glanced at the two policemen and said loudly.
"Your money?"
While talking, Ye Xin stood up involuntarily.
"Yes, my money," Li Ji nodded, trying not to be too anxious, "President Ye, this is what happened..."
So Li Ji told what happened that day again.
"Is everything you said true?"
After hearing this, Ye Xin leaned on the table and stared wide-eyed.
"President Ye, we went to the Chengdong Police Station to confirm today," Director Sun coughed and scratched his hair, "They said there was no such thing..."
"Huh?" Ye Xin was stunned for a moment and looked at Li Ji.
"I don't know why they said that," Li Ji said with a sad face, "I swear to God, I have really been there..."
Li Ji's chest was about to explode.
He clearly did not take bribes, he clearly went to the Chengdong Police Station, and the money was clearly his, but no one acknowledged it.
What's even more sad is that the words he talks about are just like the wheels of a car. If you can't express your grievances or explain your reasons, you're just like a rat in a bellows.
In his eagerness, beads of sweat rolled down Li Ji's forehead.
He was startled for a moment, then suddenly remembered Zheng Zheng, and he became anxious and blurted out to the two policemen: "Section Chief Zheng of your city bureau was there that day, and he knows everything I said. If you don't believe me, go back and ask him!"
"Chief Zheng?" The tall, thin, dark-skinned policeman stood up, "Are you talking about Chief Zheng?"
"Yes, that's him!" Li Ji nodded repeatedly.
"You, you know Section Chief Zheng?"
The tall and lanky policeman blinked a few times and looked intently.
"Yeah!" Li Ji nodded vigorously.
"We are classmates in elementary school..."
At this time, Li Ji didn't care much anymore, so he opened his mouth and spoke without thinking.
The lanky policeman was silent.
He turned to look at his companion. The two looked at each other and nodded to each other, the expressions on their faces somewhat unreadable.
"President Li, I'm really sorry," the tall and lanky policeman rubbed his hands and lowered his voice, "We are doing this on a routine basis, so we have to trouble you to come with us."
As he said that, he looked at President Ye: "President Ye, let's first ask President Li to cooperate with us to go back and make a record. ... Well, ... as for the other things, we will talk about it after we find out. Bar."
"That's fine," Ye Xin sat back and flicked the table with her fingers, "I believe Comrade Li Ji is not such an unprincipled person..."
After a pause, he looked at Li Ji: "Xiao Li, go ahead and cooperate well. The problem can always be found out. I believe that the public security organs will not unjustly accuse a good person."
Li Ji nodded. He wanted to say something more, but his mind was so full that he suddenly couldn't remember a word.
Li Ji followed the two policemen downstairs.
A police car was parked in the yard.
Another policeman opened the door and asked Li Ji to get in the car first, and then he got in immediately. Li Ji subconsciously moved to the side and looked out the car window.
The tall and lanky policeman sat in the driver's seat.
He closed the door, started the car, then waved to Director Sun who was standing beside the car, stepped on the accelerator, and the police car rushed out.
Night falls.
The streets flashed by outside the car window. Li Ji's mood fluctuated up and down, bright and dark, along with the changing scenery.
When they arrived at the Municipal Public Security Bureau, the three of them got out of the car. Two policemen walked one behind the other, sandwiched Li Ji in the middle, and walked into an auxiliary building on the other side.
It's quiet inside the building. The large-character slogans on the wall made Li Ji suddenly feel depressed.
Li Ji was taken to a room on the head.
As soon as he sat down in the chair, he immediately felt a familiar feeling. That night at the Chengdong Police Station, it was pretty much like this.
The two police officers were very polite and asked Li Ji about his situation that day in great detail. Li Ji answered them all one by one.
After asking, the tall and lanky policeman brought the transcript to Li Ji and asked Li Ji to confirm and sign. Li Ji noticed that the other policeman had closed the door and walked out quietly.
After Li Ji signed, the tall and thin policeman sat back.
He looked at it, put the note aside, leaned back, crossed his arms, and stared at the white wall behind Li Ji without saying a word.
Li Ji's heart started to beat loudly and his face began to heat up. He was a little panicked. Was he going to spend the night in the detention center tonight?
Thinking of the night he spent in the supervision room, Li Ji felt uneasy.
He stared at the stubble-covered chin of the tall, thin policeman, his body tensing up little by little, and his calves could not help but tremble slightly.
Boom!
Boom, boom, boom!
Boom!......
There were footsteps in the corridor.
These rapid steps made a hollow sound in the silence outside the door.
In an instant, footsteps stopped at the door.
Li Ji and the tall and lanky policeman looked at each other almost at the same time.
With a "bang", the door was pushed open.
A tall man came in menacingly.
