The Tempting Road to Becoming an Official

Very soon.

Everyone gathered in the meeting room of the police station.

For this police station, since its establishment, it had never hosted a meeting of such high caliber.

Naturally, it goes without saying for Xu Xianqing and Lin Shuwei.

Even Lv Changsheng and Li Dajiang, who were at the deputy minister level.

And Chen Fang, at the full department level.

Plus Huang Zhiyao and Guli at the deputy department level.

This line-up was enough to make the police officers present hold their breath and stay silent.

Everyone took their seats according to rank and seniority.

By this point.

Li Dajiang still had a look of nonchalance.

After all, in his eyes, the things he did in Dihua City were impossible for outsiders to know.

"Let's begin."

Everything was ready.

Lin Shuwei waved his hand.

Only then did Chen Fang turn on the projector on the table.

The moment the images unfolded.

The smile on Li Dajiang's face froze instantly.

It was the footage of the interrogation room where Guli was.

From the moment he walked in the door, he started punching and kicking Guli, and their conversation was clearly heard.

Lv Changsheng shuddered.

He suddenly looked at the Police Station Chief Wang Qingfa in the corner, only realizing now that the surveillance was on at the time.

The worst part was, this footage was now in Chen Fang's hands.

Which also meant that Wang Qingfa had long been under their sway.

When the scene of Li Dajiang beating Guli appeared.

Lin Shuwei's face also turned a bit unpleasant.

He glanced sideways at Li Dajiang, probably cursing him as an idiot in his heart.

The video continued.

But Lin Shuwei had no intention of letting Chen Fang continue playing it.

He waved his hand, saying, "Comrade Chen Fang, this can't be the evidence you're showing me, can it? What you just accused him of has nothing to do with this video."

"Committee Member Lin, don't be in such a hurry, there will be more conversation soon."

Chen Fang teased.

Lin Shuwei had no choice.

He could only continue to watch with gritted teeth.

Sure enough.

Soon enough, the domineering words of Li Dajiang came through: "Hahaha... Pang Shuhai? Him? Even if he stood in front of me now, what could he do to me? I could kill someone like Pang Shuhai, I could kill Ye Zhiwen, I could kill you and your entire family, Guli... Guli, there's a road to heaven but you refuse to take it, you barge into a gate-less hell, you just wait for your nightmare to begin..."

This was the exact threat Li Dajiang made against Guli at the time.

In this statement.

Li Dajiang essentially admitted it was he who caused Pang Shuhai's death.

Everyone who heard this.

Had shocked expressions on their faces.

And then they all looked at Li Dajiang.

The regret in Li Dajiang's heart couldn't be put into words.

He now realized that what Guli said before was deliberately leading him to confess voluntarily.

However, having been immersed in officialdom for so long, how could he be so easily intimidated?

His face flushed red, and he said, "That... that statement was just me talking nonsense in anger, talking nonsense shouldn't be illegal, right? This can't prove that it was I who framed Pang Shuhai, can it?"

Lin Shuwei got the message.

Nodded.

And looked at Instructor Gao Mingdong.

Asked, "Comrade Mingdong, you're the professional, please tell us, can such a statement be used for conviction?"

Gao Mingdong naturally understood what Lin Shuwei meant.

Shook his head.

Said, "In policing, we do not convict based on a suspect's single statement. To prove guilt, you need concrete evidence."

"Exactly, I was just bragging, can't I? The law doesn't state that we cadres can't brag, right? I was set up by Guli, I just wanted to provoke her, so I spoke nonsense, and that can prove I framed Pang Shuhai?"

Li Dajiang immediately countered.

The mouth of an official truly deceives.

At this moment, it was indeed exemplified vividly.

Turning black to white, and white to black.

Xu Xianqing also looked at the Station Chief Wang Qingfa, asking, "Comrade Qingfa, what do you think?"

Wang Qingfa had no choice but to be honest.

Said, "Report to the leadership, it's like this, this statement can only serve as a suspect target, it's not substantial evidence for conviction."

This statement.

Gave Li Dajiang ample confidence.

He suddenly slammed the table.

Stood up.

Pointed at Chen Fang, saying, "You little comrade, is this how you report situations? Should I also say you're defaming Party officials? How are your actions any different from Guli's?"

Indeed.

That indignant posture was truly skillful.

If it wasn't for Lin Shuwei glaring at him.

He might have continued to curse.

Lin Shuwei cleared his throat.

Said, "Comrade Chen Fang, the situation you reported, I take it very seriously. I've seen the so-called evidence you presented, and you just heard, it doesn't prove anything, so can I also consider that you're just making trouble for nothing, intentionally entrapping?"

At this moment.

He was pleased.

After all, in his eyes.

Chen Fang at this level wasn't worth much.

Even if his relationship with Shangguan Shoudong was special.

He didn't believe that touching Chen Fang would cause Shangguan Shoudong to turn against him.

He believed that the higher-ups could discern the weight of matters.

Seeing that Chen Fang did not answer.

He looked disdainfully at Xu Xianqing, saying, "Secretary Xu, do you think Comrade Chen Fang's actions are excessive? Should this be reported to the Party School?"

At this moment, Xu Xianqing didn't know what to say.

He understood very well.

Based on this video alone, it was impossible to take down Li Dajiang in one blow.

Paused, and said, "You can't say that, after all, Comrade Li Dajiang beating someone can lead to conviction."

Lin Shuwei sneered.

Said, "Oh? Really? Comrade Mingdong, how should this behavior be handled?"

"Assaulting someone, if it doesn't cause severe consequences, just fine or administratively detain him."

Gao Mingdong said.

Lin Shuwei was even more smug.

Asked, "Did you hear? Fines! Administrative detention! If necessary, Comrade Dajiang can be detained for a few days, Secretary Xu, are you satisfied with this?"

If Li Dajiang was administratively detained.

It might seem like a victory.

But in reality, it's a severe defeat.

Even if he was detained for a few days, it wouldn't affect his position as City Secretary of Dihua City, at most, it would block any chance of future promotion.

But in the confrontation of powers.

It equates to Xu Xianqing losing.

This is more serious than any consequence.

"Sigh! A bunch of clueless kids staging a grand play, but after all this, it turns out to be child's play, I thought there'd be some good drama to watch, didn't expect it to end in such a clang, no fun, no fun at all..."

Speaking sarcastically.

Lin Shuwei slowly stood up.
