Chapter 9 Eleven Years Have Passed, and I Can't Live Through This Life (11)
He can't change anything, he can't do anything for her, no one can save anyone's life, he knows his powerlessness better than anyone else.

The first day of work on leave is always painful, and the entire computer monitor is unrecognizable with small sticky notes reminding him of unfinished business.While swearing in his heart that at the age of 40, Han Shu must retire to bask in the sun all day long, while muttering, trying to find the most important work items in the pile of notes.

It's been a long time since Han Shu was so sick that he was hanged for two days. However, he slept well last night. When he showed up in the office building in the morning, many colleagues said that he looked good.He jokingly scolded those heartless people: "It's not bad, didn't you hear my terrible voice?" As a result, before returning to his office, he got at least five folk remedies for coughing.

Obviously, apart from handing over the job to his successor, the most important thing Han Shu has on hand is to have a conversation with Wang Guohua, the party involved in the corruption case of the Construction Bureau.One and a half hours before he got off work, he finally met the junior section chief of the Construction Bureau suspected of embezzling 340 million yuan in the interrogation room of the courtyard.

People say that appearance comes from the heart, and Han Shu deeply thinks so.He has always believed in his own eyes. No matter how calm the people sitting across the interrogation table are, he can always see through the vanity and anxiety in their hearts. However, Wang Guohua, who was sitting opposite him today, made Han Shu Had a headache from beginning to end.

He was a middle-aged man with a simple and honest appearance. He was plain-looking, plainly dressed, and wore a pair of old-style glasses. He looked more like a physics teacher in a township middle school than a party involved in a huge embezzlement case by a state agency.That's all, Hitler is still a Puritan-like figure, nothing surprising, what makes Han Shu unbearable the most is this man's crying.Ever since he was brought in by the policeman, his turbulent tears have not been broken. Han Shu found that he had no way to intervene in his painful choking voice. When he tried to identify himself and started asking questions, this Wang Guohua It was uncontrollable to cover his face and cry bitterly.

Han Shu convinced himself that it is inevitable for anyone to experience ups and downs in the face of possible imprisonment, but some people are particularly out of control.He tried to wait for the other party's excitement to pass, and then started the work at hand as soon as possible, but after a full 15 minutes, the man's crying was not only unrestrained, but intensified. dead trend.

"I'm sorry, it's time to get off work. If you don't mind, I'll interrupt... Section Chief Wang, I know you're feeling uncomfortable. Is it possible to wait until I finish asking a few questions before crying?" Han Shu felt that he couldn't do this anymore If you sit and wait, the other party will definitely cry until the end of time.But after he finished speaking, Wang Guohua cried louder.

Han Shu glanced at the ceiling, moved his finger, and called the policeman on one side over, and whispered to the policeman's ear, his voice was like a mosquito: "Brother, is it possible to make him stop...or can you make him stop?" If he doesn't cry, I'll buy you dinner...two...three. God, help me, or you'll tell me it's not true."

The acquainted policeman was also obviously helpless, holding back a smile, patted Han Shu on the shoulder, then walked to Wang Guohua's side, and sternly reprimanded him.

Wang Guohua restrained his crying amidst the police's warning, but the tears were still raining, and his whole body was shaking like chaff.Han Shu began to suspect that if the officer yelled a few more words, Wang Guohua would probably lose control due to fear. Thinking of this, he felt like he was about to cry.So, he stopped the police officer who raised his voice. Obviously, this move would only backfire when dealing with Wang Guohua. A slightly louder tone was enough to scare the big man speechless.Han Shu couldn't believe it, how could such a useless middle-aged man have the courage to embezzle 340 million yuan?When committing a crime, wouldn't he pee his pants in fright?According to his preliminary judgment, there are only two possibilities for this case: first, there must be something hidden in it, and second, this Wang Guohua is an old fox who is extremely good at disguising and has a deep palace.

Han Shu supported his cheeks with his hands, and every once in a while, he took out a piece of facial tissue and handed it to the man opposite with his face full of tears and confetti.During this process, he even twisted his thigh secretly, but it still hurts, but how can he explain that the people and things he met in the past few days are so unbelievable.

The small half box of tissues finally ran out of the last one, and Han Shu's patience was exhausted to the last drop.He could no longer care about the old man's old man's strategy of holding the empty tissue box and coughing: "I said man, do you need me to give you a candy?" Only then can we put away our tears. Crying is a normal expression of human emotion. It’s nothing, but I think that if you are a man, you should solve the problem first, and then do what you should do. I came here today without any results, at most I will return without success , but it won't do you any good if it takes a long time."

Wang Guohua lowered his head and sobbed, and remained silent.Han Shu was a little frustrated, and flipped through the file in his hand, "If you think you are innocent, you should also make some gestures for it, otherwise the current evidence is very unfavorable to you. I heard that you have a son who is studying in Canada , is a high-achieving student, right, he certainly doesn't want to see his father do nothing but cry like he is now."

Han Shu didn't expect Wang Guohua's reaction to these words. He trembled, raised his head slowly, and murmured: "Son, my son... yes, my son is very good." When he got here, he actually grinned, and the distorted expression of crying and laughing made Han Shu feel uncomfortable.

"Yes, think about your son. Which son doesn't want to be proud of his father and take his father as an example? He knows that you are involved in corruption and bribery in 1032 projects including the 11 National Highway, the Zhongzhou Expressway, and the widening and renovation of Xinhua Road. 340 million yuan? Can you spend this huge sum of money in your life? Isn’t the use of money to make your life better? If your son knows, what will he think? Can your life still be like Was it like that before?" Han Shu realized that he might have caught a breakthrough in the opponent's psychology, and asked loudly.

Wang Guohua was obviously crying and struggling in his heart. He hugged his head during Han Shu's questioning, crying incoherently: "No...not...I didn't...I'm guilty..."

Han Shu groaned in his heart, affirming and denying what the hell was going on.

"All the evidence now shows that the 340 million yuan has passed through your hands directly, and its whereabouts are unknown. Of course, you are guilty of such a direct consequence. According to Article 380 of the Criminal Law, what awaits you is fixed-term imprisonment of more than ten years or life imprisonment. According to Your embezzlement amount, the sentence may be heavier. You know what I mean, if this is the case, everything will be ruined. So Section Chief Wang, I hope you calm down, try to cooperate with our investigation work, and provide valuable clues , then it will definitely be good for you."

"I didn't take...I don't know anything! I'm innocent..."

Wang Guohua kept shaking his head, almost collapsed.Han Shu sat aside and could only smile wryly in his heart.He said he was innocent, but he refused to explain anything. Even if he was a scapegoat, he was destined to be unable to escape the scapegoat.Cai Jian is right, this case will indeed be closed soon, this seemingly useless and honest man will end his life like this, and his work will also end smoothly.For some reason, when Han Shu packed his things and left, he was not as relaxed as he expected.

The police officers had already lifted Wang Guohua up and escorted him back to the place of detention. Han Shu had already reached the door when he heard Wang Guohua yelling in a hoarse voice: "Prosecutor Han, don't tell my son about my business, let him be here Study hard over there—”

This is the most complete sentence that Wang Guohua has said since the meeting. Han Shu is a little inexplicable, but the hearts of parents all over the world are equally pitiful, although what he is facing is likely to be a moth of a country.

During the afternoon's work, Han Shu still couldn't shake off Wang Guohua's crying.He wanted to prove that he was right, that this man was a poor scapegoat, but after repeatedly studying the information in hand, he couldn't find any more reasonable evidence to support his intuition.His cold hadn't healed yet, and after he had been studying hard for a long time, his mind began to feel heavy again like lead.Han Shu knows that he is often too emotional, he likes bright and beautiful things, but in this business, he is destined to face a lot of darkness and ugliness.

When he graduated, he devoted himself to work with enthusiasm, hoping to "eliminate harm for the people". In fact, he did the same, but he couldn't avoid the deepening exhaustion and boredom.Every time a case is closed, getting rid of a "victim" will not make him feel much better. Those dark sides have stained his heart with a layer of gray, and it is getting heavier and heavier.

When the off-duty bell rang, he rushed out of the office building as if fleeing, and almost knocked Cai Jian away from the oncoming elevator near the elevator.He smiled and took the chubby Cai Jian in his arms and turned around in a circle. When he settled down, Cai Jian cursed in a low voice: "You son of a bitch, have you lost your soul? Are you sick? Where are we going? I don't invite you to see me?"

Han Shu let go of his hand and said half-truthfully, "I'm just chasing after my soul, have you seen it?"

"Nonsense." Cai Jian's face was grim, but he stuffed Han Shu with a bottle of something in his hand, "It's a good brand for cough relief. I don't want to hear you coughing all the time. Now I can't find loquat trees. It’s best not to pick a few leaves and boil water to drink.”
