Chapter 435 Evidence
Ma Xin looked at He Feng and nodded slightly, indicating that he agreed with his point of view, and said with concern: "He Feng, you really should stop drinking. Drinking too much is not good for your health or your work."
He Feng responded with a smile: "Okay, I will follow your advice. However, I would like to see if I can be reinstated." There was a hint of expectation and uncertainty in his tone.
After hearing He Feng's answer, Ma Xin turned and left. She knew she had something important to deal with, which was to report the matter to her superiors. She didn't want the people above to misunderstand that she acted on her own, so she had to explain the situation as soon as possible.
He Feng originally planned to follow Ma Xin in order to understand her next move. However, after some thought, he realized that doing so might alert Ma Xin and backfire. So he decided to give up the idea of following her.
Just as He Feng walked out of the door, a young man came towards him. The young man respectfully called He Feng "Director" and reported to him: "Director, according to our observation, Xu Damao has been in the steel mill all day today and has not left. Do you think we still need to continue tracking him?"
He Feng raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a smile, and replied: "No need, Xu Damao is a loser. He doesn't think about anything else except how to divide the money." He obviously did not think highly of Xu Damao.
Then, He Feng issued a new task. He asked the young man to investigate a man named Zhang Qin and find out what crime he had committed. This way, it would be easier to deal with it. After all, you can't just take action because of Ma Xin's words. You need solid evidence and sufficient reasons.
The young man knew what questions to ask and what questions not to ask. He understood He Feng's instructions, so he accepted the task without hesitation, turned around and left, and began to carry out the investigation of Zhang Qin.
In her busy work, Ma Xin finally found a suitable opportunity to report the matter in detail to her superior. After hearing this, the superior smiled with satisfaction. After all, if she could successfully incite a Public Security Bureau chief to defect, then the loss of weapons she had paid before would seem reasonable and valuable.
Time is like flowing water, and a day passes quietly in the blink of an eye. During this time, He Feng also learned about the mistakes made by Zhang Qin. Although they were not serious, they still required some specific conditions to be solved. In order to find a way out for Zhang Qin, He Feng decided to take action himself.
He went to the Public Security Bureau and carefully used his wit to sneak the key evidence out of the bureau. Later, He Feng went to the detention center again. This time, he also brought Zhao Lei, the former captain. Although he no longer holds an official position, Zhao Lei's friendship and support remain unchanged.
He Feng found Zhang Qin, looked at his remorseful expression, and said seriously: "You can go out now, but remember, you must be strict with yourself outside and don't make mistakes again." Zhang Qin raised his head and looked at He Feng with eyes full of gratitude and guilt. He naturally understood why he was able to regain his freedom, but did not say much.
He Feng escorted Zhang Qin out of the detention center, turned around and looked at Zhao Lei, and said sincerely: "Captain Zhao, I am very grateful for what happened today. Thank you for your help and support."
Zhao Lei smiled and waved his hand: "What are you talking about? We are friends. It is only natural for us to help each other when we are in trouble. If you have any problems in the future, just ask."
The two men's eyes met in the air, it was a tacit understanding that did not require words, and also a deep comradeship.
He Feng looked at Zhang Qin on the side and said, "Okay, let's go. Why do you still want to go in?"
Although Zhang Qin felt vaguely that something was not right, he did not think too much about it. After all, what he cared most about now was how to leave this place.
When he stepped out of the detention center's gate and was about to leave quickly, he suddenly heard a voice behind him shouting, "Zhang Qin, why are you in such a hurry to leave?"
Zhang Qin stopped when he heard the voice, turned around and looked at the source of the voice, only to see He Feng standing not far away, looking at him with a smile.
Zhang Qin looked at He Feng with some doubt and asked, "Director He, do you have anything else to say?"
As soon as he said this, He Feng's face suddenly became a little gloomy. Because he had never told Zhang Qin that his position was director, but Zhang Qin could call him so accurately, which meant that there must be some kind of connection between Zhang Qin and Ma Xin.
However, He Feng did not expose Zhang Qin on the spot. Instead, he calmly took out the evidence from his pocket and said to Zhang Qin: "Remember, I will only save you this time. If there is a next time, it will have nothing to do with me. Do you understand?"
Zhang Qin nodded quickly and said, "Director He, don't worry, I will definitely perform well."
He Feng did not comment on Zhang Qin's assurance. He just looked at Zhang Qin coldly, then turned and left, leaving Zhang Qin standing there alone.
He Feng knew very well that Ma Xin might have known about this matter. After all, he stole the evidence, which was a big piece of evidence. And from the cautious look of Zhang Qin when he took the evidence, he was obviously deliberately keeping his fingerprints just in case.
He Feng had already known about this kind of thing, so he deliberately did not leave any fingerprints when he took it again.
He Feng looked at Zhang Qin's back as he walked away, and thought to himself, "Now that Zhang Qin is gone, Ma Xin will definitely know about this soon."
At the same time, Xu Damao finished his day's work and rode his old bicycle in a hurry towards Lou Bancheng's home. He was always thinking about how much money Lou Bancheng had collected, especially whether Lou Bancheng had called the police. After all, he also had a share of the money, and he didn't want his hard-earned money to go to waste.
As Xu Damao rode his bike, he considered various possible scenarios in his mind. The best outcome would be that when he went to make the transaction, the money was still in his hands, while those hooligans were caught by the police. By then, even if Lou Bancheng asked, he could lie and say that the money was stolen.
When Xu Damao arrived at Lou's house, Lou Bancheng had just returned home. Because Lou Xiao'e was still immersed in pain and had no idea of Xu Damao's true face, Lou Bancheng showed a little surprise when he saw Xu Damao.
"Why are you here? Do you have any news about those people?" Lou Bancheng asked impatiently.
Xu Damao quickly shook his head and explained, "Dad, I just came to see how much money you have raised. I have some savings myself, and if it's not enough, I can sell my bicycle."
