The world of film and television begins from childhood

Zhou Chen could understand that he himself had done similar things many times. Because he had power and authority, he would also do some lawless things, whether in ancient times or modern times.

It's like killing someone. His hands are covered in blood. If it were in today's rule of law society, he would have been sentenced to death hundreds or thousands of times.

It was precisely because of this that he persuaded Peng Mingjie to surrender. After all, living in this society ruled by law, as a member of it, one must abide by the rules and laws.

Of course, the most important point is that he knew that if Peng Mingjie did not take action first and was eventually exposed, the consequences would be very serious.

The two looked at each other for a long time. The anger on Peng Mingjie's face slowly faded, but his expression became unusually cold.

"Uncle, are you calm?"

"Humph."

Peng Mingjie snorted coldly. He was so angry that he couldn't stand Zhou Chen anymore.

"If it weren't for Lili, I would have kicked you out long ago."

"What a coincidence! If it weren't for Lili, I wouldn't care about your life or death."

"you."

"Okay, uncle, don't be angry. There's nothing to be angry about as a family. Now that you've calmed down, why don't you listen to me?"

"Who is your family?"

Peng Mingjie looked dissatisfied, but he did not get angry anymore. He waited sternly for Zhou Chen to continue.

Zhou Chen said slowly: "When I asked you to surrender, I didn't mean that you should surrender and confess your guilt directly, but that you should confess your private investigation and actions."

"?"

Peng Mingjie was confused by Zhou Chen's words: "Wait, what did you say? What do you mean by private investigation and action?"

Zhou Chen's eyes were calm as he continued, "As the warden, you have been dealing with criminals in prison for many years. A few years ago, you suddenly learned from a prisoner that the mastermind of the drug trafficking case might be in Harbin. However, because you had no solid evidence and were afraid of alerting the enemy, you did not report it, but investigated it slowly in private."

"In order to infiltrate the enemy's lair, you decided to blackmail yourself and accept bribes. Over the years, you received a lot of bribes, but because you felt deeply guilty, you never spent them. Instead, you hid them. Until recently, you discovered the traces of drug dealers. So you didn't want to continue and wanted to confess everything, so you chose to surrender."

"???"

Even someone like Peng Mingjie couldn't help but open his mouth wide and look at Zhou Chen in disbelief.

"You, you, do you know what you are saying?"

Zhou Chen asked back: "Uncle, this is what you did yourself, why are you asking me?"

Peng Mingjie pointed at himself and raised his voice: "How come I don't know what I did?"

Zhou Chen suddenly smiled: "Now you know."

Peng Mingjie's pupils contracted, and he began to understand what Zhou Chen meant.

"You want me to lie? Are you crazy? Not to mention that I didn't do any of this, even if I turned myself in and told these things, do you think anyone would believe it? I don't believe it myself. I think you are really crazy. Are you criminal police officers not in your right mind?"

"Uncle, Uncle Ma is also a criminal policeman."

Peng Mingjie said angrily: "He is also mentally ill."

Without discussing this with Peng Mingjie, Zhou Chen asked, "Uncle, you should understand what I mean, right?"

It had been said so clearly, how could Peng Mingjie not understand? But it was because he knew that Zhou Chen was intentionally trying to exonerate him that he found it even more incomprehensible.

"Whether I was taking bribes or was working hard to investigate drug dealers, any normal person can tell the difference."

"So what? Truth or falsehood is sometimes important, but sometimes not so important. We paid back the bribes in full and uncovered the drug trafficking organization. That's a great achievement. Compared to that, the bribe is nothing. Not to mention, you turned yourself in voluntarily."

Hearing Zhou Chen's words, Peng Mingjie couldn't help but feel a chill on his back and his scalp tingling.

"Did you just come up with this plan, or did you think of it a long time ago? Did Lao Ma tell you about me?"

Zhou Chen lied: "Just think of it as something I just thought of."

Peng Mingjie was tempted. Nothing had happened in all these years since he had accepted bribes. But he also understood that this kind of thing was always like a sword hanging over his head, which might fall at any time. So he just didn't think about it and didn't dare to think about it, but that didn't mean he wasn't worried.

Zhou Chen suddenly gave him this idea. Even though it sounded ridiculous, he was still tempted.

"Even if I'm willing to listen to you, I don't even know where the drug dealer is, let alone what organization he belongs to. There's no way I can use this to gain merit."

Zhou Chen showed an expression of being fully confident in his decision and said something that made Peng Mingjie turn pale.

"I know."

Peng Mingjie's eyes widened and he said in a lost voice, "You know? Are you saying that you have already found out about that drug dealer?"

"Of course, otherwise why would I give you this idea?"

This unexpected answer made Peng Mingjie feel uneasy. If, if what Zhou Chen said was true, then...

"Is it really possible?"

Zhou Chen hit him again: "It has to be done. At this point, do you really hope that your affairs will not be exposed? Once the bribery is exposed, you should know what the consequences will be. Maybe you don't care, but what about Lili? Do you want Lili to be looked down upon by others because she has a father in prison?"

Peng Mingjie clenched his fists suddenly. His daughter was his life. He could ignore other things but he could not ignore his daughter who had depended on him since childhood.

He has worked in prison for decades and is well aware of the criticism that the children and relatives of criminals suffer, so he never wants his daughter to become like that.

"It's better to control your own destiny than to let others do it. Uncle, you even dare to accept bribes. Don't you have the courage to fight for your daughter?"

Zhou Chen knew that as long as Peng Yongli was moved out, Peng Mingjie would seriously consider it, which would be more effective than any hundred words of persuasion from him.

Peng Mingjie closed his eyes and remained silent for a long time. Suddenly he stood up, walked to the cabinet next to him and looked at the photo of himself and his daughter.

"it is good."

…………

A few days later, the Criminal Police Brigade of Harbin Railway Public Security Bureau.

Peng Mingjie and Zhou Chen were both confined in the Criminal Police Brigade and were not allowed to go out. Zhou Chen was better off, after all, he was the captain of the Criminal Police Squadron. Apart from being watched, he was very free. But Peng Mingjie, as someone who surrendered himself, was under very strict surveillance by the Criminal Police Team.

They were greatly shocked by what Peng Mingjie said, and the matter he was involved in was no longer just a simple small case, but an extremely complicated major case.

A few days before turning themselves in to the criminal police team, Zhou Chen and Peng Mingjie slightly improved this plan that was full of loopholes.

Fortunately, Peng Mingjie had a habit. Although he accepted bribes, he recorded every amount and knew exactly how much money was involved.

Peng Mingjie naturally didn't have that much money on him, but Zhou Chen had money and helped Peng Mingjie collect some of it, so all the "stolen money" was not lost.

Therefore, even if the investigators knew that Peng Mingjie's statement was not credible, they would definitely give him a lenient sentence considering that he recovered every penny of the stolen money and had made great contributions. At the very least, he would not be thrown into prison like in the TV dramas.

Zhou Chen had a relatively good understanding of domestic laws, especially in the 1980s when the laws were not as strict as those in later generations, and there were many areas where they could be used.

Naturally, the police could not believe what Peng Mingjie said, so they immediately launched an investigation, especially a comprehensive investigation of the drug dealers mentioned by Peng Mingjie.

During this period, the criminal police team and the anti-drug police were very busy, and they also contacted police in many locations to coordinate investigations.

A few days later, Zhou Chen met Ma Kui, Wang Xin and others who had hurried over.

Especially Ma Kui, after learning about the situation, he was very confused and couldn't figure out what was going on along the way.

He encountered Peng Mingjie's bribery when he visited him two years ago. Later, he persuaded his old brother, and Peng Mingjie agreed with him and did not do it again.

But now he was told that Peng Mingjie accepted bribes in order to investigate a drug trafficking case. He couldn't understand this. Could it be that he really had misunderstood his old brother?

After thinking about it, he felt something was wrong. It wasn't that he didn't trust his old brother, but mainly because this matter was a bit too ridiculous.

It is so unreal that a prison warden conducted an investigation privately and accepted bribes to do so. It is so unreal.

This case lasted from the end of 84 to the spring of 85, when everything was finally settled.

A group of drug traffickers led by Jia Jinlong were arrested at lightning speed by the police led by Harbin and police from all over the country. During the arrest, resistance occurred and many lawless drug criminals were killed.

Because the organization of Jia Jinlong and others is very large, this case is also a major case and the impact it caused is also very huge.

Peng Mingjie, who had been detained for several months, was also released. Although he had made great contributions, he had also made mistakes and violated discipline, so he was also punished to a certain extent.

The position of prison warden was naturally lost, and he was forced to retire, his "stolen money" was confiscated, and he was fined a "certain amount"...

But on the other hand, he did not have to bear more guilt, and he did not have to be imprisoned like in TV dramas. This was the best outcome for him.

Peng Mingjie, who had nothing to worry about, specially invited Zhou Chen and Ma Kui to have a drink together. He was so free and easy at the table.

After personally participating in the operation to capture Jia Jinlong, Ma Kui and Wang Xin were both in a bad mood.

They had known Jia Jinlong for several years, had eaten several meals with him, and kept in touch frequently, but they never expected that Jia Jinlong was the real culprit behind the drug trafficking case and that he contacted them just to use them.

Although Ma Kui felt heavy in his heart, he could still accept it. But Wang Xin felt very uncomfortable. He really regarded Jia Jinlong as a friend and called him "Brother Jia" sincerely.

But now that the truth was out, he slapped himself hard several times and scolded himself for not being able to judge people well.

This incident also made Wang Xin grow a lot. However, he is still far from being able to fight against those powerful criminals.

On the train from Harbin to Ningyang, Zhou Chen, Ma Kui, Wang Xin and Feng Qingxiang sat together.

Ma Kui knocked on the table in front of Wang Xin.

"What are you doing? You solved such a big case, why are you still so listless?"

Wang Xin was in no mood, and said depressedly: "The case is solved, but it has nothing to do with us."

"Why is it okay? We have contributed a lot, but you are still not satisfied. Do you really think that big cases are so easy to solve? Don't be so ambitious every day. Keep your feet on the ground."

"I see, Master. I didn't say anything, but you lectured me again. I was just thinking about Jia Jinlong. What do you think they want?"

"What do they want? They want money, enjoyment, and shortcuts. There's no need to feel sad for people like them. Just think of it as us being blind."

Ma Kui knew that Wang Xin was still sad about Jia Jinlong's matter, so he tried to persuade him.

As a colleague, Feng Qingxiang also tried to persuade them. In fact, the development of this matter also puzzled him at the beginning. They went to Harbin just to try their luck, but how come after trying so hard, the drug trafficking case that had troubled them for years was solved?

Zhou Chen listened to them quietly, feeling neither sad nor happy. He was quite satisfied with the final outcome of the matter.

Peng Yongli had no idea what happened from beginning to end because she did not go home during the winter vacation.

Peng Mingjie called her and said he had to go on a business trip for a meeting and asked her to spend the New Year at the Ma family. She was simple-minded and didn't think much about it. Since her father was busy, she would not go back and would stay in the compound for the Spring Festival.

"This case is over now. We have a few more cases on our hands. After we go back this time, we will take a two-day break and take action again after we have enough energy."

Just like in the TV series, Ma Kui and Wang Xin encountered the case of the thief king. Together with their colleagues from the criminal police team, they arrested all the thieves.

However, after a few months, new cases emerged one after another, and it was really not easy for the criminal police in the criminal police team to have some free time.

Chapter 1379: Frightened Yao Yuling, Wang Sufang Dies

After returning to Ningyang, Zhou Chen left two people on duty in the team, and the rest were given three days off and then went home.

Zhou Chen and his three companions returned to the compound. Before they entered the yard, they saw Yao Yuling standing alone at the gate of the compound, with her head down, kicking stones on the ground.

If it were any other day, Wang Xin would definitely say hello and chat for a few words, but today he was not in the mood for that. He just glanced at her without saying anything and was about to go into the yard.

"Wang Xin."

Yao Yuling hurriedly called out to Wang Xin.

"I have something to ask you."

Wang Xin stopped and Ma Kui glanced at him. Without even looking at Yao Yuling, he walked into the yard.

Zhou Chen glanced at Yao Yuling. He had already guessed what Yao Yuling was going to ask Wang Xin.

In fact, at the end of last year, Yao Yuling had contact with Jia Jinlong and even went to Harbin once and stayed there for several days. At that time, the Harbin police had not yet arrested Jia Jinlong.

Later, a surprise attack arrested Jia Jinlong and his gang of criminals, and Yao Yuling, who had contact with Jia Jinlong, was also taken away for questioning. So Yao Yuling knew that Jia Jinlong had been arrested and knew his true identity.

Although she was also investigated, she was soon released because she had a relationship with Jia Jinlong, but they had not known each other for long and their relationship was not particularly close. After a few days of investigation, no evidence was found to prove that she had any problems, so she was released.

These days, she has been feeling uneasy, often making mistakes at work and being scolded several times.

She was originally attracted by Jia Jinlong's generosity and sweet words. Compared with the sloppy Niu Dali, Jia Jinlong was much better.

But she never expected that Jia Jinlong would actually be a drug dealer, and that he almost got her into jail, which scared her to death.

She had been waiting for Zhou Chen and the others to come back. She didn't dare to ask Ma Kui, and she was too embarrassed to ask Zhou Chen, so she wanted to find Wang Xin to ask about the situation.

He asked hesitantly, but received a very strange look from Wang Xin.

"I'm really not saying anything bad about you, but weren't you dating Niu Dali? Why are you hanging out with Jia Jinlong? What can I say about what you did?"

They are all from the same compound, and Wang Xin really can't stand Yao Yuling's fickle behavior. If you don't want to be with Niu Dali, just say so.

As a result, while dating Niu Dali, he hooked up with Jia Jinlong in Harbin, who turned out to be a drug dealer.

Wang Xin felt that it was unlucky enough that he had a friend like Jia Jinlong, but compared with Yao Yuling, he was nothing.

Yao Yuling said impatiently: "Don't worry about what's going on between me and Niu Dali. Just tell me, has this matter been resolved? Will it not involve me anymore in the future?"
