Chapter 1351 Analyzing the Truth
Ma Kui had dinner at Wang Gang's house. Wang Jianguo asked him and Liu Jishi to clink glasses. They were not satisfied after drinking a bottle of white wine and almost opened another one.

Wang Gang saw that Ma Kui had suppressed a lot of things in his heart. When he came out of prison this time, the outside world had changed a lot. Most of his former friends and colleagues had parted ways. It takes time for ordinary people to adapt.

Wang Jianguo took Ma Kui aside to talk about the past, and Wang just learned about Ma Kui's glorious past.

Before the accident, Ma Kui was hailed as the rising star of the passenger police team, and his status might even be higher than that of Wang Gang today.

Just because of a mistake in catching a thief, the criminal jumped out of the car and died, which completely changed Ma Kui's life.

One can imagine the treatment a policeman will receive once he goes to prison. Ma Kui persisted for ten years just for a belief.

He was rehabilitated, walked out of prison, and lived with his family forever.

Ma Kui finally came out, but the cruelty of reality is often more devastating.

When he returned home, he saw that his house was empty and he almost cried.

Ma Kui realized that the pressure Wang Sufang and Ma Yan were under outside was no less than that he was.

What made him even more upset was the betrayal by his friends.

"When I got into trouble, Wang Yongge was clearly in the carriage, but he refused to testify for me, causing me to be wrongfully imprisoned for ten years." Ma Kui shouted with a red face after drinking.

"Duanchang Wang? Wang Xin's father?" Wang Gang looked at Ma Kui in surprise.

Wang Jianguo said, "Old Ma, don't blame Section Chief Wang. I have asked him about your situation. He was definitely not in the carriage and did not see the prisoner jumping out of the train. The police have verified this many times."

"Impossible." Ma Kui said drunkenly, "When I was arrested, I saw him hiding in the carriage with my own eyes. At that time, there were only three of us, him, and me.

If he had testified for me and said that the prisoner had jumped out of the car and died, I wouldn't have been wrongfully imprisoned for ten years."

Ma Yan opened her mouth in shock. It was the first time she heard about the feud between the Ma and Wang families.

"Dad, I've met Wang Xin's dad. He looks very kind and shouldn't be the kind of person who would watch someone in need walk away. Maybe you've seen it wrong." Ma Yan didn't want Ma Kui and Wang Yongge to fall out. She still liked Wang Xin in her heart!
"With my eyes, I can tell who is a good person and who is a thief from a mile away. How can I be wrong?"

Ma Yan said anxiously: "Wang Xin's father has no reason to harm you!"

Wang Sufang also advised: "Yes! Over the years, Section Chief Wang has helped our family a lot. Wang Yongge's son, Wang Xin, is the only one in school who is willing to play with Yan'er. I am always grateful to them."

"Wang Xin is Wang Yongge's son." Ma Kui said in shock.

"Yes! Don't you know?" Wang Jianguo said: "Wang Yongge and Wang Xin live in this compound. They are our neighbors. We have always had a good relationship."

Hearing this, Ma Kui could no longer sit still and said under the influence of alcohol: "I'll go find Wang Yongge and ask him about it."

Ma Yan hurriedly grabbed Ma Kui and said, "Dad, you're drunk, what if you and Uncle Wang quarrel? Let's talk about it tomorrow when we're sober!"

Wang Jianguo and Liu Jishi also pulled Ma Kui.

"I only drank two taels of wine. I'm very rational now and not impulsive." Ma Kui said with a red face.

Wang Gang sat there without moving, thinking about Ma Kui's words.

"Uncle Ma, what exactly happened on that train that year?" Wang Gang asked seriously.

Ma Kui was stunned, as if he remembered what happened ten years ago, and sat down without being able to stand steadily.

"I still remember that my colleagues and I caught three thieves on a train. One of them fought back and ran away, but I chased him first.

The thief was very cunning. He closed the door of the train carriage first. When I opened the door and rushed in, I saw him hanging outside the window.

I wanted to save him, but I was a step too late. He fell off the train and died. Later, his accomplices wrongly accused me of pushing him off the train.

It was also the first time that Wang Sufang and Ma Yan heard about what happened, especially Ma Yan. She was still very young when the incident happened and didn’t understand many things.

"It's strange. Why did the comrades who handled the case believe the suspect's testimony? Uncle Ma, why do you say they are all family members?" Wang Gang was puzzled. Ma Kui sighed and said, "When I was taken off the train, I saw Wang Yongge hiding in the carriage. I thought he could testify for me, but Wang Yongge insisted that he was not in the carriage and did not see it.

The comrades who handled the case believed that my testimony was false and that I was guilty of concealing something. That’s why they convicted me.”

Wang Gang touched his chin and said, "So, Wang Yongge's testimony back then was crucial!"

"That's right, that's why I haven't been able to let it go for ten years." Ma Kui said angrily: "I thought of him as a friend back then."

Wang Gang frowned and asked, "Uncle Ma, were you very close to Wang Yongge?"

Ma Kui nodded and said, "Ten years ago, I was the chief train police officer on the train, and Wang Yongge was the conductor. Because of our work relationship, we had a lot of contact and our relationship has always been good."

Wang Gang became more and more puzzled as he listened, and asked: "Uncle Ma, when you rushed into the car, you didn't see Wang Yongge, did you see him when you were taken away from the car?

Is there a possibility that Wang Yongge entered the carriage later and didn’t see what happened?

Ma Kui said firmly: "It's impossible. After the accident, that carriage was blocked off, and even the people in the two carriages in front and behind were all moved to other carriages."

Wang Gang narrowed his eyes and said, "So Wang Yongge has been in that carriage, or in the two carriages in front and behind."

"Yes! He is the train conductor and sometimes goes to the dining car to help." Ma Kui didn't understand what Wang Gang meant.

Wang Gang stared into Ma Kui's eyes and asked, "Uncle Ma, did you really not push that man out of the car?"

Ma Kui yelled angrily: "I didn't, I was trying to save him, I definitely didn't push him down."

Wang Gang analyzed: "If Uncle Ma didn't lie, then Wang Yongge lied, but why would he lie? He was clearly there, but he kept insisting that he wasn't there. Could there be other reasons?"

Ma Kui also reacted and said: "Could it be that Wang Yongge saw the prisoner jumping out of the window, but chose not to help him, and was afraid of being held accountable later, so he lied."

Wang Gang shook his head and said, "I originally thought so, but Uncle Ma, you also said that Wang Yongge has a good relationship with you. I can understand that he did not save the prisoners, but there is no reason for him to do the same to you!"

"Why is that?" Ma Kui asked anxiously.

Wang Gang said with a sullen face: "There are only two possibilities. First, Uncle Ma, you really saw it wrong. Wang Yongge was not in the car at the time and did not see the whole thing."

"No, I'm confident in my eyesight. I can see a needle falling on the ground, let alone a living person."

As he spoke, Ma Kui bent down and picked up a sewing needle from the ground.

"Oh!" Liu Shufang exclaimed: "This is the needle I lost. I was wondering where I dropped it!"

Seeing that Ma Kui could even spot a tiny needle, everyone no longer doubted his eyesight.

Wang Gang touched his chin and said, "Then there is only one possibility left. The prisoner jumped out of the train. It may be related to Wang Yongge, so he refused to say that he was in the carriage."

Ma Yan swallowed her saliva and said, "You mean that the man was pushed out of the car by Wang Yongge, and my father became a scapegoat."

Wang Gang said seriously: "It's possible, but it's been so many years since this happened, and the only one who really knows the truth is Wang Yongge. He refuses to confess, and no one can do anything to him."

Ma Kui's face was gloomy and uncertain. He had never thought about it in that direction.

"Uncle Ma, why have you never thought that Wang Yongge is the real murderer?" Wang Gang asked.

"I have always believed that the fugitive jumped out of the car on his own and I was wrongly accused by those two accomplices. This is logical!

Wang Yongge is as timid as a mouse. He doesn't even dare to kill a chicken. How could he possibly kill someone? "Ma Kui himself didn't quite believe Wang Gang's inference.

Wang Gang said: "When you eliminate all the impossible, whatever remains, no matter how unbelievable, is the fact.

Only by confirming the premise that Wang Yongge pushed someone out of the car can we explain his subsequent behavior, right? "

Ma Kui lowered his head and remained silent. The only sound in the room was his breathing.
