They asked some more questions, and Zheng Ergen answered them one by one. Finally, Chen Baibin said there was no problem. Ji Xin asked: "Where did you work before coming to Wuzhou?"
"Being the deputy chief of the Sanya Police Department," Zheng Ergen replied.
"It must have been a long time, right?"
Zheng Ergen was a little surprised. How did the chief know? He looked at Ji Xin again and felt that he looked familiar, but he couldn't tell when he had seen him before.
"I went there when Sanya was first developed." Zheng Ergen seemed to be recalling those difficult years, shaking his head, "At that time, I went to be the deputy director. There were five of us including me."
After Zheng Ergen left, Chen Baibin said: "This person doesn't seem to have much talent. It feels like he just turns the baton to get people. I guess he knows a little about the situation, but he doesn't grasp the key things."
"This person was a police officer at the Dongmen City Police Station." Ji Xin said, "If I remember correctly, he should be the first batch of trainees in the police training class. After the Maid Revolution, I went to the Dongmen City Police Station and interrogated them one by one that night. Police officer on duty.”
"You have such a good memory! You still remember things that happened so long ago!"
"It's impossible not to remember, because when Dugu asked someone to fire a gun, he was the first to stand up and refuse." Ji Xin said, "He was the only one who kept the order in mind. Things didn't get out of hand that night. , Zheng Ergen has merit."
"He still has such a glorious past?" Chen Baibin was a little surprised. "He seems to be a submissive grassroots cadre. His ability is not very good."
"His advantage is that he is submissive. You may not say that he has any consciousness, but he won't do it if the rules say he can't do it. This is a rare advantage." Ji Xin said, "I wonder why he disappeared so soon. It turns out he was transferred to Sanya." Ji Xin sighed, "No wonder he said, 'He dare not get involved in the affairs of the elders' - although becoming the deputy director would mean being exiled to the ends of the earth for several years. No wonder he Now I am more cautious.”
"I just came out of Sanya and encountered something like this in Wuzhou. Zheng Ergen's brain is going to hurt."
"The fate of little people is to drift with the crowd. There is nothing to say." Ji Xin said, "We just try not to let them suffer the same fate."
Seeing that he was deep in thought, Chen Baibin did not disturb him. After a while, his brows gradually widened, and then he asked: "Ji Ju, who do you think we will investigate next?"
"To talk about a more key figure, there is Da Xinxuan - according to the existing information, Jiang Qiuchan became a companion to Cai Lan because of his recommendation. But to be honest, this person will not have a lot of luck." Ji Xin said, "However, you'd better ask and form a record."
So he interrogated Da Xinxuan again. As Ji Xin said, Da Xinxuan knew nothing about the specific situation. He recommended Jiang Qiuchan purely because of her brother Jiang Rongxian's relationship. After all, Jiang Qiuchan lost her husband and was trapped in Wuzhou with nowhere to seek refuge, so she had to find a way to make a living.
They stayed in Wuzhou for a few days and interrogated all relevant personnel still in Wuzhou, including Qian Duo. Nearly a hundred transcripts were produced. Some of the notes seemed unnecessary to Chen Baibin, but Ji Xin was meticulous and followed the procedure.
However, so far, Chen Baibin has not heard any explanation from Ji Xin about the investigation conclusion of the case. Of course, he already knew Ji Xin's thinking on handling the case from the few words he said during the investigation.
In fact, it is not difficult to analyze his thinking. Chen Baibin knew: Ji Xin first valued the "unity" of the Senate, and he would not let any truth that hindered this "unity" exist; secondly, he wanted to protect the naturalized people. and Aboriginal rights. Under the governance of the Senate, it was rare to openly trample and plunder the rights of naturalized people and indigenous people, but many of the elders in the Senate did not really respect the rights of these people. It is inevitable that there will be things like "being sacrificed" and "disaster of fish in the pond". Ji Xin must try his best to prevent this kind of thing from happening.
Combining these two ideas, the direction in which the final report led by Ji Xin will be written has a vague idea. But in terms of details, there are still too many things that Chen Baibin feels he cannot explain. What exactly is Ji Xin going to use to round things off? He was very curious.
A few days later, a reply letter from Teng County was also delivered, confirming that it had not received a transfer letter from Wuzhou regarding "Hao Ran". Moreover, at their request, Teng County investigated the situation of Jiang Qiuchan's husband's family and proved that Jiang Qiuchan's identity and his account of related events were all true. At the same time, I also learned that there was no such person as "Hao Ran" in his family, whether close or distant.
"These are all known things, there is nothing interesting..."
"It would be strange if there was oil and water." Ji Xin said, "Our work is almost done, and we should write the conclusion. But before writing, there is one last person to interrogate."
"who?"
"Of course it's Xie Erren." Ji Xin said, "He is the person involved."
The next day, they made an appointment to get to know Erren.
Xie Erren seemed to be confident about this interview, and he was calm and calm during the meeting. After sitting down, Ji Xin first asked some questions about the work situation in Wuzhou, and Xie Erren answered them one by one. After the warm-up was completed, Ji Xin asked:
"You were assassinated when you visited the Dragon Mother Temple. Is this true?"
"This happened." Xie Erren's expression became slightly serious, "It was so dangerous at that time!"
"Do you know the assassin's name?"
"I know, her name is Cai Lan." Xie Erren said, "Later, she left me in the Third General Mansion to do some odd jobs."
These words directly blocked the subsequent series of cross-examinations, and Chen Baibin had no choice but to ask the key questions directly.
"People like Cai Lan are obviously very dangerous. According to the relevant regulations, even if you are not willing to hand her over to a military court or other judicial institutions, you should at least hand her over to a prisoner camp and deal with her as a prisoner. Why do you want to How about retaining this person?"
"Because she is good at painting." Xie Erren said, "I just need such a person for propaganda..."
"Since she is a retained employee, she should have relevant work records - such as drawings and so on."
"We have all of these, we all have them." Xie Erren said confidently, "But a lot of materials were destroyed on the night of the riot. I'm not sure if they are all still intact..."
"Some people reported that the relationship between you and Cai Lan is not a working relationship, but that she has actually become your personal secretary - is this true?"
"Of course she is not my life secretary. To be a life secretary, you have to register with the general office. Cai Lan doesn't have one." Xie Erren argued.
"Okay. Let's put it another way. Is there a male-female relationship between Cai Lan and you?"
"Yes." Xie Erren spread his hands and said helplessly, "I'm a man...I made the same mistakes that all men make...I knew it was wrong, but I couldn't control myself for a moment, alas!"
"Have you given her any special care since you had such a special relationship with her? Please answer truthfully."
"Of course it's worth it. I'm not Pan An..." Xie Erren said in a helpless tone, "I arranged a place for her, and she also had food on a small stove with me. I also found someone to serve her - Jiang Qiuchan too. ...I didn’t expect that I would be used by the enemy!”
Chen Baibin was a little surprised. He didn't expect Xie Erren to admit it so readily. He glanced at Ji Xin, who didn't say a word.
"Do you know exactly how the enemy used her?"
"I don't know this."
"Then how did you know she was connected to the rioters?"
"She attempted to set a fire in the Third General Office, but my security secretary caught her on the spot."
This statement was exactly the same as in his report and had obviously been carefully considered.
"According to Luo Yangming and Zhao Toyota, you were planning to send a letter to Teng County to transfer Yi Haoran - but Teng County did not receive the transfer letter. How do you explain it?"
"Maybe it burned down the night of the riot."
"It was about two weeks from the time you raised this matter to the riot. Will the external transfer letter be delayed for so long?"
"It's hard to say. I have a lot of things to do. There are a lot of documents to be signed. Sometimes if I don't pay attention, it will be left unprocessed for a long time - this is a mistake in my work."
This seems like a strong argument, but Chen Baibin has no strong evidence in terms of witnesses or physical evidence to prove that he is lying. I had to skip talking about it.
Chen Baibin asked some more questions, and Xie Erren answered them one by one. However, regarding the relationship between him and Cai Lan, he always insisted on sticking to his previous statement. Others will not admit it.
Ji Xin said nothing during the entire conversation, but listened carefully to their conversation. It wasn't until the conversation was over that he let out a long breath.
"This Xie Erren is really a ghost!" Chen Baibin said, "He refused to say anything about the transfer letter."
"This just illustrates one point," Ji Xin said, "Cai Lan has a great connection with this mysteriously disappeared external transfer letter."
"You mean..."
"That's right," Ji Xin nodded, "He and Cai Lan live together in this courtyard, and the wing over there is obviously one of his offices. Just imagine, as Cai Lan, do you have the opportunity to enter the office and get in touch with it? document?"
"There are so many opportunities."
"That's right." Ji Xin said, "Although we have no direct evidence, it seems very likely that Cai Lan destroyed the transfer letter."
"Why is he only willing to admit his relationship with Cai Lan, but keep secret about it?"
"The relationship with Cai Lan is not a big deal - of course, now it is certain that she colluded with the remnants of the compilation, and Xie Erren's responsibility is not small. But the nature is relatively smaller than her access to and destruction of confidential documents of the Senate Much lighter - the latter is a matter of principle... so he only has to choose the lesser of two evils." Ji Xin said, "His relationship with Cai Lan is well known in Wuzhou, whether it is Zhao Toyota or There are hundreds of ordinary naturalized cadres, soldiers and even local indigenous people who know about it. Even if he is extremely capable, he cannot cover it up."
