Daily life of slaying demons in the government

Chapter 78 Showdown (First Order Request!)
The robbery of 46 truckloads of scrap metal in the seventh year of Xuan Ding? The missing persons case in the mine in the same year?

The expressions of the people present were different.

The few people who knew about the situation at the government office all looked up and glanced at the faces of Song Qixun and other major officers of the garrison. Those who didn't know about the situation suddenly became nervous, realizing that this ordinary banquet had suddenly become unusual.

No one would think that Cui Mingsheng just said this on a whim. Anything he could say in this situation must have been well thought out.

What is this for?
Directly challenge?
While these thoughts were running through their minds, many people were also recalling and pondering what exactly happened with the two cases mentioned by Cui Mingsheng.

"In the seventh year of Xuanding, which was the second year after General Song Ya took office, Sandao City was not peaceful. Forty-six carts of old ironware were looted, most of which were actually damaged swords from garrisons and government offices that needed to be sent to the state government for recasting and repair. They were controlled materials that were prohibited from transportation and sale. As a result, so many things were looted within twenty miles of leaving the city. At that time, Cui was unable to sleep or eat.

The mine population disappearance case in the same year was even more bizarre. Hundreds of people disappeared within a year, and no one found their bodies.

These two cases have been hanging over the heads of the government police station, and it has been difficult to explain to the people of Sandai City, and it has also been impossible to explain to the provincial government.

Fortunately, the police station has never given up investigating these two cases over the years. In recent times, they have made great progress. No matter the seemingly strange conclusions or aimless pursuits back then, they can now be distinguished as true or false.

However, there are some issues involved, which may require General Song Ya to answer personally. "

After saying that, Cui Mingsheng waved to Yang Qian who had been standing beside him. Then, under the gaze of everyone and with Bai Jingwen's nod of agreement, Yang Qian walked to Cui Mingsheng's side, and then placed the two simplified documents in his arms in front of Bai Jingwen as ordered.

Cui Mingsheng pointed at the documents and said to Bai Jingwen: "Master Bai, you can take a look first. We in the Sandaocheng government office will not just do superficial work. We will confirm all the links that need to be opened before taking the next step.

I hope Mr. Bai can understand our helplessness."

After Choi Myeong-sung finished speaking, Song Qixun, who was still standing at the table with a glass of wine in his hand, looked very unhappy, as if he was smiling but not smiling. He did not sit down, but just drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, then crossed his arms and looked at Choi Myeong-sung who was not far away.

Bai Jingwen looked at the two documents in front of her, then turned her head to glance at Pang Yi, who was sitting next to her but didn't say a word. She suddenly understood that today's banquet was an opportunity for the government to launch a sudden attack.

Although he was angry and felt that he was being put on the spot, he wanted to throw the documents in front of him to the ground. However, the calmness he had developed over the years in the officialdom made Bai Jingwen hold back his temper and pick up a document in front of him and began to read it.

His hands were turning the pages very quickly, but Bai Jingwen's expression was very calm. Others could not tell anything from his expression.

Not long after, Bai Jingwen put down the document in his hand and did not move on to the next one. He did not want to know how the government handled the case, but to see what the government relied on today.

Now that Bai Jingwen knew the support in the government's hands, she was shocked but also somewhat relieved.

The reason for his shock was that he never expected that Song Qixun was completely different in the way he presented himself and in the government documents and files.

Bai Jingwen originally thought that Song Qixun was just doing some shady business, which was harmless, and the reason for the conflict with Cui Mingsheng was because he was too greedy. Bai Jingwen also felt that Cui Mingsheng was too exaggerated and narrow-minded to directly accuse Song Qixun of "colluding with thieves, bandits and evil spirits" for these reasons.

But now, although he only read a case file, the witness testimonies and evidence listed in it were so well-coordinated that Bai Jingwen couldn't find any far-fetchedness in it. And he believed that what was written in it would definitely not be fabricated, and he must have a purpose for showing it to him.

Bai Jingwen was glad that he had been cautious enough and did not have too much contact with Song Qixun. If the situation really followed this case, he would not be implicated.

However, the person in charge of the military office could not let a city commander like Song Qixun be dealt with by others based on just a few words and two documents.

"The right to deal with General Song Ya is not in my hands, nor in the hands of the Sandaocheng government office or the prefectural government office. It's useless for you to show me these things. Report them to the prefectural government office, and then the prefectural government office will coordinate with the military office to deal with them." Bai Jingwen made up his mind that this matter would end in his hands, and he would not take on any more. As for Song Qixun, he thought it would be better to stay away from him.

Cui Mingsheng heard what Bai Jingwen said and smiled, "What Bai Zhubu said is right. But we are not arresting him. It has not come to that stage yet. We just want General Song to go back to the police station with us to ask some questions about the case. After that, we will let General Song go back. There is no need to report this to the prefecture and ask the prefecture military office to coordinate the handling, right?

According to the law, the police station has the right to question anyone within its jurisdiction, as long as there is a legitimate reason and the person cannot refuse. If necessary, the questioning can be forced.

Am I right, Captain Zhou?"

Cui Mingsheng said the last sentence to Zhou Yiming who was sitting next to him, but he said it for everyone present to hear.

"Master Cui is right. The police station does have this power."

Bai Jingwen's face turned cold. How could he not know what Cui Mingsheng meant? He was planning to take advantage of the loophole to bypass the prefecture military office and directly arrest Song Qixun in another way. Just as he was about to speak, Pang Yi, who had been silent before, spoke up to remind him.

"Master Bai, whether you speak or not now means something very different. You should think it through carefully."

If he doesn't speak up, he can later shirk responsibility by saying that Sandacheng was "barbaric".

Once he opens his mouth, if Song Qixun still cannot extricate himself or even gets trapped in it, he will more or less be branded as "helping others delay the crime."

Bai Jingwen was in a dilemma for a while. The main reason was that the detailed case file he had read before put too much psychological pressure on him, and he no longer dared to side with Song Qixun.

Bai Jingwen was like this, and the few people from the provincial military office who were traveling with him also remained silent.

Knowing that Bai Jingwen was in a dilemma, Cui Mingsheng would not let her continue to struggle like this and would naturally help her make a choice.

"Yang Qian, didn't you want to invite General Song Ya back to the police station for tea? If not now, when?"

"Yes, my lord!"

Yang Qian shouted loudly, and his voice shook the lobby of Fumanlou, as if ringing the final bell for today's scene.

However, as soon as Yang Qian moved, a person not far from him also moved, and blocked his way.

"Captain Yang, if you don't want to die, you'd better retreat." Lin Kuizhong held the sword at his waist with one hand. The armor on his body made him look more powerful and fierce, and his eyes were also murderous and very captivating.

Yang Qian said nothing, but looked expressionlessly at Lin Kuizhong, who was less than a fight away from him. His right hand was also on the hilt of the sword at his waist.

Cui Mingsheng sneered at this, looked at Song Qixun who was sitting across the big round table, and asked, "General Song Ya, are you going to refuse the normal questioning of you by the police?"

Song Qixun still held his arms, but his aura was rising rapidly, and his eyes were as fierce as a wolf's, ready to choose its prey.

"Inquiry? Cui Mingsheng, what are you planning? Do you think I don't know? If I go back with you today, you can put the blame on me tomorrow, and I won't be able to clean myself up by then!
If you don't follow the rules today, why should I follow the rules with you?
If you want to put me in jail, come and try it!"
