Chapter 448 Proving He Feng is Not Guilty

Chapter 448 Proving He Feng is Not Guilty

It was noon soon. Ma Xin simply tidied up her desk and walked out of the office as if nothing had happened. She hurried through the corridor of the Public Security Bureau, walked out of the door, and blended into the bustling crowd on the street outside. About half an hour later, Ma Xin returned to the office with a normal look, as if everything just now was just an ordinary outing.

After a short rest, Ma Xin sorted out her thoughts and walked towards Zheng Qiang's office. She knocked on the door, and after getting permission, she pushed the door open and said seriously, "Director, I have a new discovery."

Zheng Qiang was concentrating on the documents on the table. When he heard Ma Xin's words, he raised his head with a hint of expectation in his eyes. He looked at Ma Xin and said, "Oh, what did you find? Tell me about it."

The atmosphere in the conference room was a little solemn. Ma Xin focused and told the exact time when the fingerprints were found. Then she elaborated on her reasoning in an orderly manner: "So, considering all these circumstances, I strongly suspect that this was done deliberately by someone, with the purpose of misleading everyone and thus misunderstanding Director He." She frowned slightly, with a hint of certainty in her eyes.

Zheng Qiang listened carefully to Ma Xin's words, nodded slowly, and agreed: "What you said is indeed reasonable, and the analysis is very logical. However, we need solid evidence when handling cases. We can't just rely on these suspicions. We must find solid evidence to clear Director He's name."

Ma Xin was just about to respond when there was a knock on the door and a voice rang out: "Director, this is Zhao Lei." The voice was clear and powerful.

Zheng Qiang responded: "Come in."

The door slowly opened, and Zhao Lei walked in with steady steps. He saw Ma Xin at a glance and couldn't help but said, "Expert Ma, you are here too." As he spoke, he showed a happy smile on his face, raised the file bag in his hand, and said excitedly, "I have evidence here to prove that the director is not guilty!"

Upon hearing this, Zheng Qiang subconsciously turned his head to look at Ma Xin, and a smile instantly broke out on his face. That smile contained both a sense of relief and a bit of surprise.

Ma Xin also laughed, and the two of them laughed, which made Zhao Lei laugh. Zhao Lei looked confused, scratched his head, and said anxiously: "I really have evidence here, it's true!"

Seeing Zhao Lei's anxious look, Ma Xin quickly explained: "Captain Zhao, you misunderstood. The director and I just found some clues, and we were worried about the lack of key evidence. I didn't expect you to deliver it in time. This is really great."

Zhao Lei suddenly realized, and went on to explain the source of the evidence in detail: "I asked a lot of people, and they can all testify for He Feng. At the time of the crime, he was drinking more than ten miles away from the crime scene. Think about it, he is not a god, how could he rush over to commit the crime in such a short time?" Zhao Lei described it vividly, gesturing the distance as he spoke.

After hearing this, Zheng Qiang made a prompt decision and took Ma Xin to the place where He Feng was imprisoned. He Feng heard the noise, looked up, and saw that it was them coming. A glimmer of hope flashed in his eyes, and he asked tentatively: "Can I go out?"

Zheng Qiang looked at He Feng, his mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a teasing smile: "How can you be so sure that we are here to release you, rather than to increase your sentence and lock you up deep in the prison?"

He Feng also smiled and said in a relaxed manner: "I have done nothing but drinking these days. I believe that as long as you investigate, you will definitely be able to find out the truth of the matter. I have no doubt about this."

Zheng Qiang nodded slightly, his smile becoming a little gentler: "Okay, you can go out now. However, we will continue to investigate this matter in depth. In addition, I have something to tell you."

He Feng looked at Zheng Qiang with a hint of doubt in his eyes, and said sincerely: "Brother Zheng, just speak frankly, I'm listening."

Zheng Qiang looked at He Feng with concern and said earnestly, "The higher-ups do have some misunderstandings about you, but you can't abuse your body like this. According to my investigation, you've been drunk every day these past few days. What's going on?"

He Feng lowered his head slightly, and after a moment of silence, he said: "Brother Zheng, I just feel suffocated and uncomfortable. Drinking some wine and feeling dizzy seems to help me forget the troubles in my heart temporarily, and I feel better." After saying that, he sighed helplessly.

Zheng Qiang stared at He Feng, his eyes full of concern and understanding. He knew very well why He Feng drank to relieve his sorrow, but at this moment he really couldn't think of any suitable words to comfort him. After hesitating for a moment, he could only say softly: "Okay, drink less in the future. Drinking too much is not good for your health. Don't ruin your body."

He Feng nodded slightly. There were some things in his mind that he thought it would be better not to let Zheng Qiang know, so he quickly responded: "I know, Brother Zheng. Then can I go back now?" There was a hint of urgency in his eyes, as if he wanted to get rid of the current atmosphere as soon as possible.

Seeing this, Zheng Qiang nodded and said, "You can go now. You have worked hard during this period. Go back and have a good rest."

He Feng turned around and walked out of the room. As soon as he walked out, he saw Ma Xin standing not far away. A grateful look immediately appeared on his face, and he quickly walked up to her and said, "Ma Xin, I heard that it was thanks to your investigation that I was able to clear my suspicion so quickly. Thank you very much."

Ma Xin smiled and nodded, wrinkled his nose slightly, and joked: "Okay, go home and take a shower. Smell it yourself, the smell on your body is almost suffocating."

He Feng smiled shyly, and then suggested: "Ma Xin, how about I treat you to dinner tomorrow? Do you have time? It can be regarded as a small token of my gratitude to you."

Ma Xin thought about it for a moment, and felt that it was hard to refuse such a kind offer, so he readily agreed: "Okay, then it's settled."

After getting a positive answer, He Feng seemed to feel much better. After saying goodbye to Ma Xin, he went straight to Uncle Luo. After all, he had been in the detention center for a few days, and he was really starving. Who knew that as soon as He Feng walked into Uncle Luo's room, before he had time to catch his breath, he was pulled aside by Uncle Luo.

Uncle Luo frowned and said with disgust: "He Feng, why do you smell so bad? What have you been through these days?"

He Feng smiled helplessly and explained, "I was locked up in the detention center, and the conditions were limited, so I naturally smelled a bit. I was thinking of taking a good shower after eating, but you pulled me here as soon as I came in. Uncle Luo, is there something urgent?"

Uncle Luo then let go of his hand, took out a written note from his pocket and handed it to He Feng, saying, "Take a look for yourself."
