Happy Shennong

Chapter 344 Reversal
After one cigarette was smoked, the dishes were served one after another. The three of them started eating, and Xiong Da also poured wine for Linley and Captain Shi.

"Not bad, not bad." Linley nodded, "As expected of a home-cooked restaurant, the dishes are all very authentic, and you can taste like a monk. I like it very much."

"I also feel this way, so I usually like to come here for gatherings and dinners. The dishes are delicious and the prices are not expensive. It's rare that a big boss like you can get used to it."

"What big boss, I'm just an ordinary person."

Captain Shi smiled, and then said: "By the way, Boss Lin, didn't you say before that you wanted to visit Laohou's family? Did you go?"

"Go, I went yesterday."

"Oh? How are they doing recently?"

Linley waved his hands: "The mother and son are both suffering, and they are far away from 'good'."

"Hey, it's really pitiful. Their family used to live a very happy life, and they belonged to an enviable family of three. But now, those who died, those who had a stroke, those who were imprisoned, to put it bluntly, almost It’s a broken family. As a bystander, I feel sorry for their family and feel heartbroken.”

"Who said it wasn't? But...Captain Shi, have you ever thought that since Laohou's sudden death was caused by others maliciously, is it possible that Hou Yongqiang was also framed in the case back then? And Laohou's Wife, is it possible that someone tricked me?"

When Captain Shi heard this, he became serious: "Boss Lin, could it be that you heard something? Oh yes, you went to see Hou Yongqiang yesterday, did he tell you something? I didn't participate in his case back then." , I don’t know the specifics. But I can say responsibly that we police officers will never be perfunctory in any case. If there is no conclusive evidence, we will not convict the suspect.”

"Captain Shi, don't get me wrong. I don't doubt what you mean. I just think that Lao Hou's family is very kind, and because of some special reasons, they were involved in disputes and became victims. For example, Lao Hou is just a Ordinary small restaurant owners, doing their own small business, do not know what purpose Wei Bo has, but they have murdered him. This shows that some people dare to kill people in order to achieve their goals. In other words, it is very kind of people to go to jail..."

"Hmm... Boss Lin, you must have come to me today to talk about this, right? There are no outsiders here, so just tell me."

Finally getting to the point, Linley was not in a hurry, he straightened out his thoughts, and then slowly said: "Captain Shi, to tell you the truth, Hou Yongqiang did tell me yesterday that he was wronged. He also said that he was The evidence is overwhelming and irrefutable. In addition, he still has his parents to take care of him, so he is under a lot of pressure. Knowing that he can’t turn the tables, he chooses to surrender and undertakes 12 years of imprisonment. He thought, behave well in prison, Try to get out of prison as soon as possible to take care of your parents, find out the truth, and give yourself justice."

"Hmm... Boss Lin, don't you think his words are contradictory? Since the evidence is so solid, why should he be wronged?"

"This is easy to understand. At the beginning, Lao Hou's case was also listed as an unsolved case. It shows that some cases are really difficult to investigate. It is hard to find out, maybe it is not the truth. And Hou Yongqiang's case, the reason why There will be an irrefutable situation, maybe the person who framed him is too cunning. Captain Shi, you are a police officer, you should know better than me that some wicked people in this world are very smart..."

"I've seen criminals with high IQs before. But it turns out that no matter who they are, no matter how high their IQ is, once they commit a crime, they will eventually fall into the net of justice!"

Linley nodded and said: "Captain Shi is right. What we are facing now is a criminal with a high IQ. He created a false truth, deceived us all, and made Hou Yongqiang go to jail unjustly. If we accept the false truth , the real criminal will get away with it and escape responsibility for his crime.”

In order to help Hou Yongqiang reverse the case, to attract Captain Shi's attention, and to get Captain Shi's help, Linley also worked very hard, even using aggressive tactics.He understood that what he just said might make Captain Shi, a police officer, uncomfortable, but that was the only way to arouse Captain Shi's interest.

In fact, Captain Shi felt a little nervous in his heart.Although Hou Yongqiang's case was not handled by him, but by his colleagues.However, Linley pointed out that the wrong handling of the case at the beginning meant that some police officers had neglected their duties. This is not a small problem.

If it is true that the villains created false truths and deceived everyone, then it would be easier to accept and deal with it, release Hou Yongqiang, and give a certain amount of compensation according to relevant regulations.But if there are insiders who interfere and deliberately distort the facts, then the problem will be serious.This was something he didn't want to see and couldn't accept.

But looking at it from another angle, isn't this a good opportunity for him?

To settle Laohou's unsolved case, he has already done meritorious service and left a good impression on the leaders.If Hou Yongqiang's injustice was found out again, it would definitely be a great achievement.It doesn't matter what the reward is, the key credit is of great benefit to promotion.He has been in the police force for many years, and he is still only a small captain. It is because he has too little credit that he has not attracted the attention of the leaders, and he has not even come into the sight of the leaders.Every time there is a chance for promotion, the leader doesn't think of him at all.

However, there is also a big problem.Now it's just Linley's one-sided statement. In the final analysis, it's just the one-sided statement of the defendant Hou Yongqiang. How reliable is it?

If Hou Yongqiang was really wronged, it would be a good opportunity for him to be promoted.

But if it was because Hou Yongqiang was not convinced and made up a lie, then if he uncovered the case again, he would not only offend his colleagues, but also leave a bad impression on the leader.In addition, Hou Yongqiang's case has been closed long ago. If there is no guaranteed evidence, the leader will not easily agree to a retrial. For the time being, he can only investigate quietly.

After pondering for a moment, he said to Linley, "Boss Lin, it's not that I don't believe you, but what you said is not a trivial matter, and we are speaking with evidence. I don't know...do you have any evidence?"

"Not yet." Linley replied truthfully, "I only heard about it yesterday, and I haven't started investigating yet."

"It's not easy without evidence... Hou Yongqiang's case is different from Lao Hou's case. Lao Hou's case was only listed as an unsolved case at the beginning, and it was not declared closed. You provided evidence and caught the murderer. The case will be closed when it is a matter of course. But the case of Hou Yongqiang has already been closed, and the files have been sealed. Without strong evidence, I will not get permission at all, and I will not be able to re-investigate. What we are talking about now , it can only be empty words.”

Linley nodded: "Captain Shi, I know that it would be too difficult to ask you to help Hou Yongqiang reverse the case. So I thought, let me do it. But I don't have any clue at the moment, so I want to ask Captain Shi for help."

"You said."

"I want to know what happened at that time, and what evidence is there to convict Hou Yongqiang. Only when I find out these things, will I know how to proceed."

"These questions... Wouldn't it be most appropriate to ask Hou Yongqiang directly?"

Linley waved his hand: "If Hou Yongqiang knew how he was wronged, he wouldn't be in jail."

Captain Shi nodded, touched his chin for a while and said, "I will try my best, but I dare not give any guarantees about the result. You can imagine the difficulty."

"I know. Not only is it difficult, but you may also take certain risks. So try not to be involved, just study the original file, and then tell me the situation at that time. Leave the rest to me. Actually I don't know if I can help him reverse the case. But if I don't do anything, I always feel guilty. If I'm lucky enough to find out the truth, I will give you all the evidence."

What Linley said was obvious, if he successfully helped Hou Yongqiang reverse the case, the credit would still go to Captain Shi, and this could be regarded as candied dates for Captain Shi.

Captain Shi thought for a moment again, nodded abruptly and said, "Okay! I will do my best!"

Linley raised his glass, "Thank you!"

"It should." Captain Shi clinked glasses with Linley, took a sip of white wine, and continued, "Boss Lin, in principle, we do not advocate private investigations. But considering your relationship with Laohou, it is equivalent to your own People, you can try it. But you are not a police officer, you should do what you can. During the investigation process, while ensuring your own safety, it is best not to cause any disputes. Another point, we firmly oppose the use of violence Control violence. If you get the evidence, leave it to me to deal with it, and don't act rashly. Otherwise, you may get into unnecessary trouble."

"Thank you for reminding me, I will pay attention. By the way..." Linley suddenly thought of something, "Captain Shi, can you please help me find a person named Li Dapeng?"

Captain Shi was taken aback: "The whole country is called Li Dapeng, maybe there are [-] to [-]. If I only know the name, I can't help you. Can you narrow the scope? Or, do you have more specific information?"

"Well... the Li Dapeng I'm talking about is a local. He is 32 years old this year. He should be the kind who hangs out on the streets and likes to gamble with stones. If he guesses correctly, his name may appear in the case file of Hou Yongqiang. .As for whether it is an assistant or a witness, I don't know yet."

"You mean, the case of Hou Yongqiang is related to Li Dapeng?"

"It's not sure yet, but it can be used as a breakthrough."

Upon hearing this, Captain Shi also became interested, and nodded quickly: "With this concrete information, it will be much easier to check, just wait for my call."

"Thank you."

Linley secretly breathed a sigh of relief.After talking for so long, he finally got Captain Shi as his helper.With the cooperation of the police officers, the chances of helping Hou Yongqiang to reverse the case increased by several percent in an instant...
