"We have many witnesses to prove what you did, and you can't deny it even if you want to. For example, the cleaner at the county party committee's office building proved that you knew about the theft of Secretary Xiao's office. Your family members proved that you went out the night before the Lantern Festival. . Your apprentice proved that you assigned the task of catching the thief and caught the thief Xu Chuan. You said that the adjustable wrench was lost a few months ago, but Master Wang, the car repairman in the county party committee yard, said that he repaired your car before the Spring Festival. When I drove the Audi car, I saw that you had a set of five adjustable wrenches in your car, which was very complete. In front of so many witnesses, the circumstances of your actions are obvious, and you cannot deny it!"
Tong Ruide's face turned pale, but he still lowered his head and remained silent.
"You'd better confess frankly. Now that you're confessing to us, it's considered that you confessed voluntarily and performed meritorious service. Continuing to deny will only aggravate your crime. Besides, you can't deny it." Tian Chunda took two puffs of cigarette and said: "I saw it. According to your file, you performed well when you were a scout, and you also achieved third-class merit. After demobilization, you also performed well in the local area, and you were rated as an advanced worker every year..."
When Tian Chunda said this, Tong Ruide interrupted him: "I said it, I said it all."
Tian Chunda asked Hao Dong to pour a glass of water for Tong Ruide. After he took two sips of water, he began to say: "After Secretary Xiao's office was stolen, I really wanted to catch the thief and retrieve the lost items. I mobilized my apprentices to help me. Before the Lantern Festival One night, I finally caught the thief. On the way I was escorting him, he suddenly climbed over the wall to escape, and I threw the wrench out. I originally wanted to hit him on the back and knock him off the wall, but I didn't expect him to kick off the wall. He pedaled steadily, fell down, and the wrench hit him in the back of the head, killing him. After that, I carried the body to the car, transported it to the suburbs, and threw it into the manhole. The wrench was also thrown into the manhole." Tong Ruide stood up. He stood up and said: "My arrest of the thief was a legitimate and righteous act. But killing him was an accidental injury. You can go to the scene to investigate. He did slip when he stepped on the wall. There should be traces."
Tian Chunda said: "We will go to the site to investigate. It is winter now and there is no rain. The traces will be preserved."
After on-site investigation, the criminal investigation proved that Tong Ruide's statement that Xu Chuan died due to accidental injury was correct.
Tian Chunda said to Tong Ruide: "Although you accidentally killed someone while catching a thief, you still have to bear some responsibility for the loss of life. However, the public security and judicial departments will consider your actual situation."
Tong Ruide said: "I leave it to the public security and judicial departments. But I hope they will be treated leniently."
Tian Chunda said: "We will consider it."

Xiao Hui thought that the theft was over, and he could be an official and live his life with peace of mind. Unexpectedly, trouble came one after another.
That night, Xiao Hui returned home with a gloomy face.
"What's wrong with you? What happened?" Hao Xiaowen saw that her husband looked very bad and asked hurriedly.
Xiao Hui sighed heavily and said nothing.
"Are you talking? What happened?" Hao Xiaowen pressed.
"The robbery of my office is not over yet." Xiao Hui sighed heavily again.
"Isn't this matter settled? What happened again?"
"Someone copied the stolen memory card and blackmailed me."
"What's your excuse? Pictures taken with a young lady or a rotten woman?"
"No."
"what is that?"
"Yes, it's a video record."
"Videos of your invisible people?"
"not mine."
"Whose is that?"
"Yes, it's yours." Xiao Hui said with a trembling voice, avoiding Hao Xiaowen's aggressive gaze.
"Mine?!" Hao Xiaowen couldn't help being surprised. "What video of me?" she asked.
"That time Lu Ming came to our house, I secretly installed a camera."
"In that guest room?"
Xiao Hui nodded.
Hao Xiaowen's head buzzed, and the scene of herself and Lu Ming falling in love on the bed was videotaped. She shouted angrily: "You, how can you be so despicable! You asked me to help you get promoted and win over Lu Ming, but why did you secretly videotape us! How can you be so safe!"
"I, I'm afraid that Lu Ming won't admit it afterwards, so I want to leave some evidence."
"But have you thought of me? If this video is spread, how will I see anyone?"
Hao Xiaowen's angry voice was tinged with tears.
"I, I didn't expect this video to be stolen. I thought it wouldn't be leaked. But I didn't expect that the thief not only stole the memory card with the video, but also had someone copy it. That person used it to blackmail me." Xiao Huidi He covered his face with his head.
"Why did that person threaten you?"
"He said on the phone that if I give him one million, he will return the video to me. If I don't give one million, he will make the video public on the Internet and make us unable to behave."
"Ah, one million! How can our family have so much money? Although you want to climb up the ladder, you are not a corrupt official. We have supported our children to study abroad these years, and there is not much money left at home."
Xiao Hui pulled his hair and sighed.
"What should we do now?" Hao Xiaowen burst into tears.
Xiao Hui lowered his head and pulled his hair without making a sound.
"You're talking! You caused trouble, you have to find a way!"
Xiao Hui slowly raised his head, "I think there is only one way."
"any solution?"
"This approach is very risky."
"The risks are high, so we have to do it if we can solve the problem. Otherwise we won't be able to live as human beings, and life would be worse than death."
Xiao Hui nodded, "Then let's do it and kill him!"
"You mean get rid of him?"
Xiao Hui nodded: "If he doesn't die, we won't be able to survive."
Hao Xiaowen also nodded: "This is the only way."
Then the two people discussed specific ways to get rid of the scourge.
After going to work the next day, Xiao Hui had a secret conversation with his secretary Li Wei in the office.
Xiao Hui told Li Wei about the blackmail, but he did not say what was in the stolen and copied memory card. He only said that it contained secrets. After hearing this, Li Wei thought to himself, Secretary Xiao told me this secret because he wanted me to help him solve the problem. what do I do? I have to take action. Secretary Xiao has been very kind to me. My wife and sister’s jobs were all arranged by Secretary Xiao, and they were all in good units. When his own son entered elementary school, Secretary Xiao admitted him to the best school in the county, and his school selection fee of tens of thousands was waived. Secretary Xiao also said that I would be promoted to deputy director of the county party committee office in the near future. I have to repay the favor! The fates of himself and Secretary Xiao are now tied together. If one loses, both will suffer, and the other will prosper. If something happens to Secretary Xiao, his career will be over, and his family will be greatly affected. But there is a huge risk involved in resolving this matter, and you might end up in jail, or even worse. Alas, life is a gamble, just take the gamble. Besides, it’s okay if you don’t gamble. Thinking of this, he said to Secretary Xiao: "Secretary Xiao, leave this matter to me."
Xiao Hui patted Li Wei's hand gratefully: "Okay, I'll leave it to you to solve it. But you have to solve it cleanly and thoroughly without leaving any future troubles."
Li Wei nodded: "I understand."

The person who made the threatening call to Xiao Hui was a 21-year-old woman named Zhao Xiaomei. She was quite pretty, with a pretty face and a tall figure. She worked as a dancer at the Spring Voice Dance Hall in the county, and also worked as an "escort".
Xu Chuan had some money after stealing the offices of two directors, so he asked Zhao Xiaomei to accompany him during the Spring Festival to relieve the loneliness of being single during the festival.
On the night of the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, Xu Chuan drank too much and boasted to Zhao Xiaomei: "Xiaomei, I can do tricks with a magical prop. Not only does this prop look interesting, it can also make a lot of money."
Zhao Xiaomei thought Xu Chuan was bragging after drinking too much, so she asked with a smile: "Is it true? Don't brag."
"Of course, of course it's true. If you don't believe it, I'll show it to you now." After saying that, he took out the memory card, put it in the card reader, and plugged it into the computer interface. A shot of two people making out on the bed appeared on the computer screen.
Zhao Xiaomei looked at it and said disdainfully: "Isn't this just a pornographic film? What is there!"
Xu Chuan said: "The pornographic film is true, but do you know who the two characters in this film are?"
Zhao Xiaomei looked at the picture carefully and shook her head: "I don't know him. Anyway, he is not a celebrity, and he is not young anymore."
Xu Chuan said: "Let me tell you, this woman is the director of the County Women's Federation and the wife of Secretary Xiao of the County Party Committee. This man is the deputy director of the Organization Department of the Nanshan Municipal Committee, named Lu Ming."
Zhao Xiaomei became interested after hearing this. She looked at the screen and asked, "Is it true? How do you know it's them?"
"I have seen them on the county TV station. A few days ago, Lu Ming came to our county for an inspection, and Secretary Xiao of the county party committee specially accompanied him. Lu Ming also visited the County Women's Federation, and Hao Xiaowen, director of the County Women's Federation, accompanied him."
