Chapter 1797 This revenge has no winners!
On the way back to the Municipal Bureau, Li Xiangnan, Wang Defa, and Fan Deting remained silent.
Although the riots on Changjiang South Road have subsided, the public sentiment revealed by this minor incident remains strong.
Even after the crime, its lingering influence and the harm it caused to the people remain a heavy burden on their hearts.
Back at the station, as soon as the group entered the meeting room, Zhang Biao's wife and daughter, who had been waiting inside, knelt down with a thud, looking a hundred times more miserable than when they came to report the situation.
Zhang Biao's wife had disheveled hair and was in a daze. Her eyes were swollen like walnuts. She clung to Fan Deting's trouser leg and wouldn't let go. Her voice was hoarse from crying.
"Director Fan, Consultant Li, please, we beg you, please save us! We really can't go on living like this!"
Upon hearing this, Fan Deting immediately glanced at Li Xiangnan, his eyes filled with surprise.
Li Xiangnan was also completely baffled.
They had previously discussed why there was no sound or image of Zhang Biao's family members, but now that they have seen them, why are they suddenly asking for help? What happened?
"Don't rush, tell me what happened first!" Li Xiangnan walked to the side and poured tea for the two of them with Wang Defa. "The case is over, everything has been settled. You are the victims yourselves, so how can you talk about saving people?"
Zhang Biao's daughter trembled on the sofa, touching the bright red handprint on her face, and said in a tearful voice, "Advisor Li, you don't know, even in my hometown county, I can still be recognized on the street. This slap on my face from the day before yesterday still hasn't gone down!"
"That's not all. Our house has been vandalized with paint countless times. This morning, we called the guesthouse to say that someone had splashed feces on our doorstep..."
At this point, Zhang Biao's daughter broke down in tears.
Zhang Biao's wife also cried, "Last night, someone smashed all our windows with bricks and wrote 'a life for a murderer, and no descendants' on the door with paint. My son is in high school, and he's been too scared to go out for the past two days. He only dared to ask someone to call us this morning! At school, he's been called a murderer's bastard, and his classmates beat him up whenever they see him..."
Hearing this, everyone had mixed feelings.
"Director Fan, Consultant Li, we really have no other choice!" Zhang Biao's daughter said again, "Recently, my leader also talked to me, saying that my family's affairs have had a very bad impact, and asked me to consider going home to rest for a few days. I can tell from his words... this is the prelude to firing me!"
“Director Fan,” Zhang’s wife cried again, “our phone keeps getting threatening and cursing calls. We’re so scared we’ve unplugged the phone line… We’re too afraid to even leave the house. The vegetables we buy are all rotten, and dead rats are constantly being thrown into the kitchen… Please think of something…”
By the end, the woman was practically prostrate on the ground, her emotions breaking down.
“We admit it, we really admit it! Zhang Biao deserves to die a thousand deaths, he deserves to go to the eighteenth level of hell, even being skinned alive and having his tendons pulled out wouldn't be too much for him! But... we did nothing wrong! We were kept in the dark for so many years..."
Although Wang Defa sympathized with their plight, his lips twitched. He thought to himself, "You already knew about your husband's strange behavior, and you've been helping to cover up his crimes. This has even come to light during the interrogation!"
When the authorities tried to reason with you, you acted like a scoundrel and claimed you didn't know anything about what happened back then.
When Sun Lianfang's family produced the diary, you were afraid of being charged with harboring a criminal, so you began to cooperate in a way that downplayed the severity of the crime.
Now that the masses are acting like thugs towards you, you've come here to reason with them?
Wang Defa thought to himself, while constantly exchanging glances with Li Xiangnan.
Li Xiangnan naturally knew what Defa was thinking. He glanced at him silently several times, stopping him from speaking, but he remained silent himself.
This is a complete mess.
He could help restrain one or two people, but he was truly helpless against the public outrage he had stirred up.
"lead!"
At this moment, Zhang's wife suddenly grabbed her daughter and shouted, "We don't want anything anymore! We don't want that Chen guy's compensation anymore, we absolutely, absolutely won't pursue his responsibility! We don't want him to pay with his life! We just want a way to survive, so our family can live a peaceful life. Please! Please tell him not to let the people keep targeting us. We don't want compensation, okay? Let him write something, put it in the newspaper, and be on TV. We really can't take it anymore!"
Even now, she still believes that Chen Hanguo instigated the masses to deal with her, and she hasn't realized that the masses have discerning eyes.
You can tell who's good and who's bad at a glance!
Once public anger is stirred up, it is very difficult to quell it!
However, it must be admitted that such accusations convey far more than any preaching in terms of how cruel the consequences of crime are!
It not only destroys the families of the victims, but also, like a plague, drags the families of the perpetrators into an endless abyss of shame.
Zhang Biao and his three accomplices were both perpetrators and victims.
Hu Jianjun was both a victim and a perpetrator.
In this case, no one benefited, and no one could withstand the pangs of conscience.
Everyone is having a hard time.
This is the price of crime.
Human nature is to seek advantage and avoid harm. Now, because of Zhang Biao's actions back then, and their cover-up and protection for him for twenty years, the Zhang family is now reaping the consequences and paying the price. They have chosen to come here to seek help from the police...
Li Xiangnan looked out the window; he didn't want to think about the problem in detail.
Because once your thinking diverges, it will fall into a cycle and you will not get the answer.
As the saying goes, when will the cycle of revenge end?
“You are also victims,” Fan Deting stepped forward at this moment. After all, he was the director of the Public Security Bureau, and his position had official authority. “We will convey your demands to Chen Hanguo. The bureau is also aware of your attitude. Go with your colleagues in the bureau to sign a formal statement waiving your right to pursue the matter.”
"Okay, okay, thank you Director Fan!" Zhang's wife said, crying with gratitude.
Fan Deting sighed, "From now on, educate your children well, and never let them repeat Zhang Biao's mistakes. They must also live good lives and avoid making the same mistakes again!"
"Thank you, Director Fan, we understand!" Zhang's wife cried as she led her daughter away.
After they left, the office fell into a brief silence.
The ripples of evil send chills down one's spine.
Li Xiangnan kept looking out the window and sighed, "There are no winners in this revenge!"
Fan Deting and Wang Defa neither agreed nor disagreed.
Yes, there are no winners!
Hu Jianjun got his revenge, but his family remained forever in the past twenty years.
Zhang Biao and his three accomplices had evaded justice for twenty years, but in one fell swoop they lost their own lives and the lives of their entire families that had been filled with unease for the past twenty years.
"Little Li!"
At this moment, the office door was pushed open, and Provincial Party Secretary Zhang Zhidong and Qi Zhiyuan walked in with solemn expressions.
“Uncle Zhang!” Li Xiangnan was somewhat surprised by the expressions on their faces.
Without any pleasantries, Zhang Zhidong looked sharply at Li Xiangnan and said directly, "Xiangnan! Director Qi has shown me the complete case files. The facts are clear, the evidence is conclusive, and both the case from twenty years ago and today's case have been solved!"
He looked at Li Xiangnan and said with utmost seriousness, "But, the final and most crucial question is now before us!"
He said, enunciating each word clearly, "How should Chen Hanguo's actions be characterized? Should he be arrested and sentenced to immediate execution at a later date?"
boom!
Upon hearing this, Li Xiangnan took a deep breath.
The final moment has finally arrived!
