Chapter 239 The Trial of Li Niu
He Feng was fully aware of the difficult living conditions of the two children, but he also understood that the law must uphold the principle of justice, so he said in a firm tone: "Send the two children to the welfare home first."
Zhao Lei, who was standing nearby, nodded slightly, indicating his approval of the decision. At this moment, Ma Xin hurried over and asked with concern, "Director He, how do you think this matter will be judged in the end?"
He Feng turned to look at Ma Xin, his eyes serious and calm, and slowly said: "The crime of murder is serious in itself, and he fled for fear of crime, and he has not shown any remorse until now. I am afraid that only the death penalty can demonstrate the majesty of the law."
Ma Xin frowned when he heard this and said quickly, "Director He, I just saw Li Erniu kowtow to you and beg for mercy. Isn't this a sign of him admitting his mistakes and repenting?"
He Feng stared at Ma Xin, shook his head and explained: "Comrade Ma Xin, you may have only seen the surface phenomenon. In fact, from Li Erniu's eyes, I can't see any real regret or attitude of admitting mistakes. The information revealed in his eyes is not a deep reflection on his crimes, but regret for not acting carefully enough and leaving too many loopholes. Now, he is trying to use these two poor children to gain sympathy and change the situation, but no matter what, Zhao Ying's murder is an indisputable fact."
After hearing this, Ma Xin showed worry on his face and asked again: "But what about the two children? They have already lost their loved ones. If they are sent to an orphanage..." At this point, Ma Xin couldn't help but sigh, his heart full of worry about the children's future fate.
How could He Feng not worry about this? However, the law is ruthless and impartial! Li Erniu committed the crime of murder and must bear the severe judgment of the law.
He Feng stared at the two poor children in front of him, his lips slightly parted. Just when he was about to say something, he saw Zheng Qiang striding over. His eyes fell directly on Ma Xin, then turned to He Feng and said, "Director, this must be the expert Ma who just arrived. He looks quite young."
He Feng smiled and responded, "Brother Zheng, you don't know that he has just come to our place for a short time and has already successfully solved a major case."
Zheng Qiang nodded in agreement and said with emotion, "I heard about this news before I came here. The case that has troubled me for many years was solved so quickly. He is indeed a person specially arranged by the higher-ups. He is really capable!"
Ma Xin smiled and said, "Director Zheng, this is all thanks to Director He's cooperation. Otherwise, the case would not have been solved so quickly."
He Feng shook his head: "It's all thanks to Comrade Ma Xin's ability, otherwise the case wouldn't have been solved so quickly."
Zheng Qiang looked at the two people, feeling something he couldn't explain, but he didn't say anything.
He Feng couldn't help but sigh and told Zheng Qiang about the murderer in this case: "Alas, who could have expected that these two children would be sent to an orphanage now."
Zheng Qiang also nodded slightly, indicating his agreement: "Yes, I really didn't expect it to be him. And you know, he used to deliver vegetables to our Public Security Bureau for a while, but then he suddenly stopped for some reason."
He Feng nodded slightly, indicating his agreement with what Zheng Qiang said, and thought to himself, could it be that Li Erniu had really been secretly spying on the Public Security Bureau's every move? He waited so carefully until he was sure that the Public Security Bureau would no longer investigate Zhao Ying's case. This made He Feng more cautious about Li Erniu. He didn't expect that this person looked ordinary, but in fact he was quite scheming.
However, He Feng quickly collected his thoughts, cleared his throat and said, "Comrade Ma Xin, you've been busy all day long! Tomorrow is a good day off, so relax and adjust your state."
Ma Xin heard this and nodded obediently, then turned and left. Her steps were a little heavy, and it was obvious that she had not yet recovered from the tragic experience of the two children in Li Erniu's family.
After Ma Xin left, only He Feng and Zheng Qiang were left in the corridor. He Feng turned his gaze to Zheng Qiang and asked with concern: "Brother Zheng, how is Yaya now?"
When mentioning Yaya, He Feng noticed that Zheng Qiang's eyes instantly flashed with a bright light, as if his whole body was lit up. Zheng Qiang smiled and replied excitedly: "Director, you don't know, Yaya is an incredibly well-behaved child! She is like a caring and sensible little baby specially gifted to me by God."
Hearing this, He Feng also smiled knowingly: "Brother Zheng, if that's the case, you can now focus on your work with more peace of mind."
Zheng Qiang nodded slightly to show his agreement, but his eyes remained on He Feng. He smiled and said jokingly, "Director, to be honest, I think you and this expert Ma Xin standing together are a perfect match made in heaven!"
He Feng quickly waved his hand and shook his head after hearing this, with a hint of embarrassment on his face, and hurriedly explained: "Brother Zheng, you can't say that! I already have a girlfriend, if she hears these rumors, it will be a big trouble!"
Zheng Qiang nodded in sudden realization, thinking to himself, could it be the girl he saw that day? Although she seemed younger, love was ultimately Director He's own business, and others shouldn't interfere too much.
At the same time, Ma Xin dragged her heavy steps back to the dormitory. As soon as she entered the room, she collapsed on the bed like a deflated ball, feeling extremely depressed. She never thought that the first case she participated in solving would end in such an unacceptable ending.
If Li Erniu was eventually sentenced to death, wouldn't his two children instantly become orphans without anyone to rely on? Thinking of this, Ma Xin was filled with self-blame and guilt. She felt as if all these bad consequences were caused by herself.
He Feng returned to the office and looked at the wall, thinking that he would meet Ran Qiuye tomorrow, and the depressed feeling in his heart was finally relieved.
But what He Feng didn't know was that an assassination plan against him had been prepared. As long as He Feng and Ran Qiuye went to the park to play, they would be killed.
After get off work, He Feng asked Zhao Lei to deliver dinner to Comrade Ma Xin, and then went back. After all, he still needed to have a good rest, as he had not rested much the whole night.
