Chapter 21 Section 21

What was even more unexpected was that at almost the same time, Zhou Peicheng also made a major breakthrough. After Zhou Peicheng was arrested, Zhou Peicheng's wife, Tang Meili, ran to the procuratorate and the police station every three days, crying with snot and tears when she saw everyone, like Xianglin's wife, saying a few words over and over again: "My Zhou Peicheng I can be a witness for Zhou Peicheng." This is simply a fantasy, the wife of the criminal suspect will testify for the criminal suspect, and there is no evidence for him. Verified evidence trails.Therefore, neither the Public Security Bureau nor the Procuratorate took Tang Meili's reaction seriously.Tang Meili became more and more violent. Last Tuesday, she stopped the car of the investigators from the Public Security Bureau. After arguing, she lost her mind and abused and tore the investigators.The Public Security Bureau detained Tang Meili for three days on the grounds of obstructing official duties, and released her after asking her to write a letter of guarantee, promising not to make trouble anymore.After she came out, Tang Meili didn't dare to go to the Public Security Bureau to make a fuss, but went to the Procuratorate to make a fuss. Wearing a white coat with the word "injustice" written on it, she knelt down at the gate of the City Procuratorate early in the morning, insisting on meeting Chief Prosecutor Ye , causing many passers-by to watch, resulting in a very bad social impact.

Under such circumstances, Ye Zijing had no choice but to see her, she wanted to do some work, she knew her own interests, and asked Tang Meili to restrain herself and stop making such unreasonable troubles.Deputy Chief Prosecutor Zhang Guojing, Chief Prosecutor Gao Wenhui, and several young comrades from the Prosecution Division also participated in the reception that day in the small meeting room of the Procuratorate—Ye Zijing originally planned to discuss with them the refund of the arson case. Seeing this Tang Meili was a temporary decision. Unexpectedly, this temporary meeting pushed Ye Zijing into a dangerous emotional vortex again.

Tang Meili is a middle-aged woman with no beauty at all, she is short and thin, and looks at least in her early forties. If Tang Meili hadn't admitted later, no matter how rich Ye Zijing's imagination is, it would be difficult for Ye Zijing to comprehend such a person. A prematurely aging woman is associated with a prostitute. Tang Meili knelt down as soon as she entered the door, and it was still the same thing she said to the police and prosecutors in the past: "Procurator Ye, my Zhou Peicheng has been wronged, he died! Zhou Peicheng really didn't set fire to the rich, Zhou Peicheng is too timid. I won’t set this fire on fire, I can be a witness for Zhou Peicheng! I can really prove it!”

Ye Zijing asked the lesbians in the Prosecuting Office to pull Tang Meili up, and said to her as calmly and patiently as she could: "Tang Meili, it's useless to say you were wronged. We must base our case on facts. The facts now are that On the night of August 13th, Zhou Peicheng was at the scene of the fire. Let’s not care whether he had the idea of ​​setting fire to rehabilitate Ah Fu and the rich man. Since he appeared at the scene of the fire, we must find out, right? Now Zhou Peicheng is only a criminal suspect Man, the court hasn't judged it yet, and there is no question of whether it is wrong or not."

Tang Meili wiped her tears and knelt down again: "Procurator, that's why I reported it to you!" Ye Zijing still didn't take it seriously: "What do you want to reflect? Don't kneel, just talk about it!" Tang Meili mentioned a new situation: "Procurator-General, Zhou Peicheng picked me up at the rich man that night!" Ye Zijing was a little strange: "Pick you up? What are you doing in Dafuhao? You don't seem to be an employee there, do you?" Tang Meili stammered: "I... I work... a part-time job near the Big Regal Entertainment City..."

Ye Zijing became more and more strange, and looked at Tang Meili carefully: "Working? What kind of work? Where is it?" Tang Meili looked at the people in the room, and was reluctant to say: "Chief Prosecutor, I...I just want to talk to you alone!" Ye Zijing did not agree: "This is not a private matter between the two of us, I don't think they need to avoid it!" Tang Meili hesitated: "Then... then forget it, but... anyway, my Zhou Peicheng is wronged..." Ye Zijing said: "Where is the injustice? It's all come to this point, is there anything else to say?"

Tang Meili was stunned for a while, then suddenly raised her hand and slapped her face violently, crying while doing so. Ye Zijing quickly grabbed Tang Meili's hand: "Hey, hey, what's wrong with you? Tang Meili, tell me!" Tang Meili choked up and said: "Procurator Ye, I... I'm shameless today, my family Zhou Peicheng can't tell me... about my own affairs, and I...have been arrested as an arsonist. It's too good to be shot... shot, you say, I...what face do I need? What's the use of having face..." After listening to Tang Meili, I realized that Zhou Peicheng really came to pick up Tang Meili that night.After the South No. 2 Mine went bankrupt and closed, Zhou Peicheng and Tang Meili lost their jobs. Life was hard to survive, so Tang Meili started a cheap meat business with a few middle-aged women in the same situation.There are many beautiful and young ladies in the Big Regal Entertainment City, and it is not the turn of Tang Meili to do it. The old and decrepit Tang Meili can only be done in a small hair salon near the Rich Man. .That day, Tang Meili was not feeling well, and she was accompanied by a sister to do business with a fever. After making a fortune, she couldn't take it anymore, so she asked Zhou Peicheng to get a tricycle to pick her up.Unfortunately, just after Zhou Peicheng received the call, another business came in. He was a migrant worker on a construction site.Zhou Peicheng waited for about half an hour at the food stall opposite the big rich man, so Zhou Peicheng couldn't explain the situation for this half hour. It's hard to say that his wife is a prostitute. He is waiting to pick up his wife, right? !

After hearing this, Ye Zijing was shocked: "Tang Meili, so your husband Zhou Peicheng also knows about your prostitution?" Tang Meili nodded: "On the night of August 13th, Zhou Peicheng came to pick me up, and Sister Liu's husband Lao Wang came to pick up Sister Liu. Lao Wang also met Zhou Peicheng from my family at the food stall. If you don't believe me, go find Sister Liu and Sister Liu. Lao Wang ask! I asked Lao Wang to testify, but he doesn’t want to come!” That's right, of course that old king doesn't want to come and do this kind of proof. As a husband, it's really embarrassing to watch his old-fashioned wife prostitute in such a place and wait there to pick her up!Only then did Ye Zijing understand why Zhou Peicheng would rather bear the suspicion of arson than tell the truth, the truth is really impossible to tell!

The prosecutors in the room were all stunned by the cruel facts that Tang Meili told, and the air was so dull that it made one's heart palpitate. Seeing that everyone was silent, Tang Meili was a little scared. She looked at Ye Zijing with tears in her eyes, then at Zhang Guojing, Gao Wenhui and several young comrades in the Prosecution Office, and said anxiously: "Procurator Ye, you still... And you, you...what's the matter with you? Ah? Why...why didn't you talk all of a sudden? What I said...but it's all true! Think about it, no...it's not here At this level, I... am I ashamed to say it? Ah?" He said eagerly again, "Yes, yes, let me tell you the truth again! Lao Wang ate a bowl of dumplings with my family Zhou Peicheng that night. It was my family Zhou Peicheng. The money I paid! Sister Liu’s business was not good that night, and she didn’t make a deal, and she wanted to go back early, so she called Lao Wang to pick her up. It was a public phone call with me, and Sister Liu can prove it! As long as your procuratorate finds her They, they dare not tell the truth! I can't beg them. I begged them several times. The hope is on you, I beg you! You...you have to take pity on this poor woman like me!" After saying that, she began to cry again, crying out of grief.

Ye Zijing felt very uncomfortable, so she tried to stop Tang Meili from crying, and instructed Zhang Guojing on the spot: "Ye Jian, you can arrange this matter and do it right away! According to the situation Tang Meili said, go to the South Second Mine to find Sister Liu and Lao Wang verified the facts. In addition, Zhou Peicheng will re-interrogate and see what Zhou Peicheng says?!" Zhang Guojing personally took people to the Naner Mining Area that day, and successfully found Sister Liu and Lao Wang and his wife.The situation was exactly as expected. At first, the two of them denied it. They neither admitted the fact of prostitution, nor did they admit that they had met Zhou Peicheng near the rich man that night. It was not until Zhang Guojing got angry and asked them to get into the police car to go to the procuratorate. Panicked, he recounted the facts: Lao Wang and Zhou Peicheng not only ate a bowl of dumplings at the food stall that night, but also shared a bottle of Erguotou with the dumplings.Zhou Peicheng first discovered the fire of the rich man. Zhou Peicheng knew that Zha Tiezhu was burning electric welding there, so he hurried into the rich man to help Zha Tiezhu put out the fire...

To Ye Zijing's surprise, Zhou Peicheng refused to admit it, and insisted on his original confession, saying that he had quarreled with an old man at Zhichun intersection.No matter how Gao Wenhui did his work and stated his interests, Zhou Peicheng refused to turn around because of his face. Gao Wenhui was not good at violating the rules and implying anything, so he had to report the truth to Ye Zijing and suggested that Ye Zijing come forward and talk to Zhou Peicheng in person. Ye Zijing, on the other hand, felt that it was unnecessary, and sighed and said to Gao Wenhui: "Xiao Gao, let's forget it, I won't talk to him anymore, it's hard to talk about it, he feels bad and I feel bad too, these two days I've been want to cry!" Gao Wenhui understood Ye Zijing's mood: "Yes, yes, it wasn't Tang Meili who came to tell me about this. I really don't believe it will be true!" Shaking his head, he added, "Confessions cannot be used as the basis for a verdict. In fact, the unclear half an hour has already been clarified by that Lao Wang, Sister Liu, and his wife Tang Meili!" Ye Zijing said meaningfully: "In fact, Zhou Peicheng also euphemistically made it clear. On the night of August 13th, he said it during the first interrogation by the Public Security Bureau. I still remember the original words!" Are many things fair now? What about Su Afu? Got rich? How dare you openly open a brothel? Suafu opened a brothel, but our wives and daughters are prostitutes!'” Gao Wenhui smiled wryly: "I never thought Zhou Peicheng's wife was prostitution!" Ye Zijing sighed: "Yes, don't just see the high-rise buildings all over the city. The shadows behind the high-rise buildings are still very heavy. Our social conscience is weeping in the heavy shadows! When the neon lights of cities are shining, everywhere When the lights are feasting, when a lot of hot money is surging in the stock market and the foreign exchange market, we must not forget those vulnerable groups who have made historic sacrifices for the brilliant achievements of the reform, I think the alarm has sounded!" Gao Wenhui rubbed his hands and sighed, "Ye Jian, what's the use of talking about this? We can't control this!" Ye Zijing disagreed with Gao Wenhui's opinion: "How can you say that? The ancients knew that everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of a country, let alone us prosecutors in the era of reform and opening up? I thought about it. Do some social research, and truthfully reflect the difficult situation of these bankrupt miners through appropriate channels!" Gao Wenhui nodded: "Okay, okay, Ye Jian, anyway, what we listen to you is..." That night, Ye Zijing was in a heavy mood and suffered from insomnia again. It was past twelve o'clock, and she still took the initiative to call her bankrupt husband Huang Guoxiu. . Huang Guoxiu was quite happy: "Zijing, why did you think of calling me, are you going to meet me now?" Ye Zijing hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Old Huang, let me tell you something. Now it seems that there are still many unclear facts about the case of Tie Zhu's arson. I'm afraid the whole case will be sent back to the Public Security Bureau for additional investigation... " How smart is Huang Guoxiu?Immediately understood: "So, both Zha Tiezhu and Zhou Pei couldn't die?" Ye Zijing didn't dare to say more: "Huang Guoxiu, don't get excited, just know what's in your mind! There are still many variables in the future. You know the complicated situation in Changshan. To tell you the truth, I am more worried now, very worried! " Huang Guoxiu was very excited: "Hey, why worry about seeking truth from facts? Sister, go forward boldly!" Ye Zijing said: "Go forward boldly? There may be a minefield in front, are you not afraid that I will be smashed to pieces?" Huang Guoxiu said carelessly: "I don't think it's that serious. I don't know who the hell is who died!" Ye Zijing had fun in the midst of suffering, and joked: "If you blow me up and lose all limbs, you will be out of luck!" Huang Guoxiu chuckled: "That's good too. The situation of our family's yin prosperity and yang decline has changed! Zijing, I'm not joking with you anymore, can you reveal more about the situation? What happened to Cha Tiezhu and Zhou Peicheng?" What? Huh?" But Ye Zijing stopped it decisively: "Forget it, don't ask any more!" After finishing speaking, she silently hung up the phone...
