Chapter 1378 Zhou Chen's Plan, Jia Jinlong's End

Peng Mingjie was furious, staring at Zhou Chen fiercely. If Zhou Chen was not his future son-in-law, he would have overturned the table and kicked Zhou Chen out on the spot.

Turn himself in?

What a joke, why would he turn himself in? What did he do wrong?

He just did some things within his duties and received some rewards. He did not commit any illegal crimes such as cheating, stealing, etc., and did not endanger anyone's safety.

What did he do wrong?

Facing the angry Peng Mingjie, Zhou Chen was not afraid at all. He looked at him and did not retreat at all.

From Peng Mingjie's eyes and attitude, he guessed what Peng Mingjie was thinking, or in other words, he had seen many people like Peng Mingjie, so after exposing them, he could understand their psychological activities.

Peng Mingjie actually knew that his behavior was against discipline, but in the face of interests, he still could not control himself. After doing it, he used various reasons to comfort and deceive himself to relieve the guilt and depression in his heart.

Over time, he gradually got used to self-deception and felt that what he did was not a bad thing.

Zhou Chen could understand that he himself had done similar things, because he had power and authority, and he would do some things that were beyond the law, whether in ancient times or modern times.

Just like killing people, his hands were stained with blood. If he were in the current 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 rule of law society, as a member of it, he had to abide by the rules and laws.

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

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

"Uncle, are you calm?"

"Humph."

Peng Mingjie snorted coldly. He was provoked with anger, and now he couldn't stand Zhou Chen.

"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. We are a family. What's there to be angry about? Now that you've calmed down, listen to me?"

"Who is a family to you?"

Peng Mingjie looked dissatisfied, but he didn't get angry again. He waited for Zhou Chen to continue with a stern face.

Zhou Chen said slowly: "When I asked you to surrender, I didn't mean to ask you to surrender and confess your guilt directly, but to 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 and 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 in the prison that the head of the drug trafficking case might be in Harbin, but because there was no solid evidence and you were afraid of alerting the enemy, you did not report it, but investigated it slowly in private."

"In order to get into the enemy's nest, you decided to blacken yourself and accept bribes. You have received a lot of bribes in the past few years, but because you felt deeply guilty, you never spent it, but hid it. Until recently, you found the traces of drug dealers, so you didn't want to continue, and wanted to confess all these, so you chose to surrender."

"???"

Even someone like Peng Mingjie couldn't help but open his mouth wide at this time, looking at Zhou Chen with incredible eyes.

"You, you, do you know what you are talking about?"

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

Peng Mingjie pointed at himself and raised his voice: "I did it myself, how could I not know?"

Zhou Chen suddenly laughed: "Now you know it."

Peng Mingjie's pupils contracted, and he understood Zhou Chen's meaning a little.

"You want me to lie? Are you crazy? Let's not talk about the fact that I didn't do it at all. Even if I turned myself in and said this, do you think anyone would believe it? I don't believe it myself. I think you are really crazy. Are you criminal policemen not mentally normal?"

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

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

Without talking to Peng Mingjie about this, Zhou Chen asked: "Uncle, you should understand what I mean, right?"

It has been said so bluntly, how could Peng Mingjie not understand, but it was because he knew that Zhou Chen wanted to excuse him on purpose that he found it even more incomprehensible.

"Whether I accepted bribes or was working hard to investigate drug dealers, any normal person can tell the truth from the false."

"So what? Truth is sometimes important, but sometimes not so important. We paid back the bribes in full and investigated the drug trafficking organization. This is a great achievement. Compared with this, the bribes are nothing, not to mention that you surrendered voluntarily."

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

"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 moved. Since he accepted bribes, nothing has happened in all these years, but he also understands that this kind of thing is always a sword hanging over his head, and it may fall one day, so he just doesn't think about it, and doesn't dare to think about it, but it doesn't mean he is not worried.

Zhou Chen suddenly gave him such an idea. Even though it sounded ridiculous, he was still moved.

"Even if I am willing to listen to you, I don't know where those drug dealers are, let alone their organization. There is nothing I can do if I want to make meritorious deeds."

Zhou Chen showed an expression of wisdom and said something that made Peng Mingjie change his face.

"I know."

Peng Mingjie's eyes widened and he lost his voice: "You know? You mean, you have found out that drug dealer?"

"Of course, otherwise I wouldn't have given you this idea."

This unexpected answer made Peng Mingjie unable to calm down. If, if what Zhou Chen said was true, then...

"Is it really possible?"

Zhou Chen gave him another blow: "You have to do it even if you don't. At this point, do you really hope that your affairs will not be exposed? Once the bribery incident is exposed, you should know what will happen. Maybe you don’t care about the consequences, but what about Lili? Do you want Lili to be looked down upon by others because she has a father in jail?”

Peng Mingjie clenched his fists suddenly. His daughter was his lifeblood. He could not care about anything else, but he could not ignore his daughter who had been dependent on him since childhood.

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

"Instead of having your fate in the hands of others, it's better to hold it in your own hands. Uncle, you 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 useful than a hundred words of persuasion from him.

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

"good."

…………

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

Both Peng Mingjie and Zhou Chen were restricted to the criminal police brigade and were not allowed to go out. Zhou Chen was better off. After all, he had the status of the captain of the criminal police squadron. Apart from being watched, everything else was free. However, Peng Mingjie, as a person who surrendered for prosecution , is under very strict supervision by the criminal police team.

Because what Peng Mingjie said shocked them very much, and the matters he was involved in were not just simple small cases, but extremely complex major cases.

A few days before going to the criminal police team to surrender, 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 kept a record of every account, and the total amount of money was clearly stated.

Peng Mingjie naturally didn't have that much, but Zhou Chen had money and helped Peng Mingjie collect some, so every cent of the 'stolen money' was worth every penny.

Therefore, even if the investigators know that Peng Mingjie's statement is not credible, considering that the stolen money is quite large and he has made great achievements, he will definitely be dealt with lightly. At the very least, he will never be imprisoned like in the TV plot.

Zhou Chen is quite familiar with domestic laws, especially in the 1980s, when the laws are not as strict as those of later generations, and there are many areas that can be used.

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

During this period, the criminal police team and the anti-narcotics police were very busy, and they also contacted the police in many places to coordinate the investigation.

A few days later, Zhou Chen saw Ma Kui, Wang Xin and others who came in a hurry.

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

He had encountered the matter of Peng Mingjie accepting bribes and money when he visited two years ago. Later, he persuaded his old brother, and Peng Mingjie agreed to him and did not do it again.

But now he was told that Peng Mingjie accepted bribes to investigate the drug trafficking case, which he couldn't understand. Could it be that he had really misunderstood his brother?

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

The warden of a prison investigated privately and took bribes to investigate. It is too fake, it is really too fake.

This case lasted from the end of 1984 to the spring of 1985, before everything was settled.

A group of drug-trafficking criminals headed by Jia Jinlong were arrested by the police headed by Harbin City and other local police forces with lightning speed. During the arrest, there was resistance and many lawless criminals were killed. Drug offender.

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

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

Naturally, the post of prison warden was no longer available, and he was also dismissed, the 'illegal money' was confiscated, and a 'certain amount' of fines were imposed...

But on the contrary, he did not bear more guilt, let alone be imprisoned and jailed like in the TV series. This was the best result for him.

Peng Mingjie, who had nothing to do, even invited Zhou Chen and Ma Kui to have a drink together. He looked carefree and carefree at the wine table.

After personally participating in the arrest of Jia Jinlong, Ma Kui and Wang Xin were not in a good mood.

They had known Jia Jinlong for several years, had several meals together, and were in constant contact with each other. However, they never expected that Jia Jinlong was actually the real culprit behind the drug trafficking case, and their contact with them was just to take advantage of them.

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

But now that the truth was revealed, he slapped himself hard and scolded himself for not knowing people well.

This incident also made Wang Xin grow up a lot. He was still far from being able to fight 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 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 not related? We have also contributed manpower and effort, but you are still not satisfied. Do you really think that big cases are so easy to solve? Don't be ambitious every day, be down-to-earth."

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

"What? Money, enjoyment, and shortcuts. There is no need to feel sad for people like them. Just think of us as 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 persuaded him a few words. In fact, the development of this matter also puzzled him at the beginning. They went to Harbin to try their luck. How could they try and solve the drug trafficking case that had troubled them for many years?

Zhou Chen listened to them quietly, with no sadness or joy in his heart. He was quite satisfied with the final result of this matter.

Peng Yongli didn't know what happened from beginning to end, because she didn't go home during the winter vacation.

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

"This case is over. We have a backlog of several cases now. After returning this time, we will rest for two days and take action again after we have enough energy."

The thief king case was encountered by Ma Kui and Wang Xin, just like in the TV series. They cooperated with their colleagues in the criminal police team to arrest all the thieves.

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