Since some time ago, the head of a police station in Xiaguang District didn't even recognize Fang Zhicheng, the Secretary of the Political and Legal Committee Xiang Xin sent Secretary Fang's photo to all police stations, asking them to remember Secretary Fang and avoid the next oolong incident. At the scene, there were many people and the light was not good, so Qiao Zhenhua didn't notice it. After arriving at the police station, Qiao Zhenhua suddenly found Fang Zhicheng and broke out in a cold sweat.
Fang Zhicheng's eyes flashed, and he asked, "Has anyone called you just now?"
Qiao Zhenhua was promoted by Xiang Xin. He knew the relationship between Xiang Xin and Fang Zhicheng, so he did not hide it. He whispered, "The Municipal Bureau has told us to keep this matter low-key."
Fang Zhicheng raised his eyebrows and asked, "How do you keep a low profile?"
Qiao Zhenhua said: "The factory manager of the people who caused the accident has already said that he will give some money to the families of the deceased as compensation, and then this matter will be resolved."
Fang Zhicheng smiled faintly and said, "So human life is so unbearable."
Qiao Zhenhua smiled awkwardly and said, "I have also asked about the specific situation, and the other party did not intend to murder. The man who died was a bit unlucky. In fact, he tried to stop the quarrel between two people. In the end, he was hit in the vitals. As for the person who had the quarrel, although he was seriously injured, he was rescued."
Fang Zhicheng remained calm and said calmly, "Then you just told that woman that the other party was acting in self-defense?"
Qiao Zhenhua smiled bitterly and said, "This is also to control her emotions. If we let her go on like this, we won't be able to work."
Fang Zhicheng said: "I understand the difficulties you face in handling cases, but on some issues, you should pay more attention to being more humane."
After saying this, Fang Zhicheng said nothing more and stood up and left the director's office.
Qiao Zhenhua touched his chin and pondered for a long time. He was a little unsure of Fang Zhicheng's intention, so he finally called Xiang Xin.
After listening to Qiao Zhenhua's explanation, Xiang Xin scolded, "Don't you understand? Secretary Fang, when you handle this case, you should stand from the perspective of the disadvantaged groups and consider the orphans and widows more."
Chapter 0775: Borrowing the Moral High Ground
The next morning, Fang Zhicheng changed into his sportswear and prepared to run as usual. As soon as he left the community, he was stopped by someone. "Sister, what can I do for you?" Fang Zhicheng recognized the woman. She was the wife of the victim at the Zhaoqiao Town Police Station last night.
The woman knelt down with a plop and choked up, "Secretary Fang, I beg you, please help my husband get justice."
Fang Zhicheng frowned. His first reaction was that someone from the Zhaoqiao Town Police Station had leaked his identity and address. His second reaction was that the development of the matter was beyond the control of the Zhaoqiao Town Police Station, so they could only point out a clear way for the woman and ask Fang Zhicheng to come forward in person and make the decision for him.
Fang Zhicheng sighed, stretched out his hand to lift the woman up, and said, "Sister, please explain the situation to me in detail. I was also at the scene yesterday, so if I have the ability, I will definitely help you."
When the woman heard Fang Zhicheng say this, she wiped the tears from her eyes and said, "My name is Zhang Cuihua, and my husband is Lan Daofeng. Although we are not rich, we have a good relationship. Yesterday, I suddenly received a call from his co-worker saying that Lao Lan had an accident. I was stunned at the time, as if the sky had fallen. We have a daughter who was born with kidney disease. Lao Lan supported her in the past and could barely support her, but now that he is gone, the cost of my daughter's medicine has become a problem."
Fang Zhicheng nodded and sighed, "What should we do now?"
Zhang Cuihua choked up and said, "They wanted to compensate us 300,000 yuan and then the matter would end there. But I don't think that's possible. It's not that the money is too little, but Lao Lan said it was gone, and I felt sorry for him."
Fang Zhicheng was silent for a moment. What happened to Zhang Cuihua was common. When a murder occurred, it was not always possible for the murderer to pay with his life and be brought to justice. Normally, the case would be settled privately with money.
There is a dark side to society, and many people live small and humble lives.
Fang Zhicheng said: "Sister Zhang, thank you for trusting me. I will help you focus on this matter, but I hope you can take good care of yourself and don't be impulsive, because I am afraid that you will fall into danger."
Fang Zhicheng vaguely realized that there must be a force that was reducing the impact of the incident. Zhang Cuihua was just a woman. If she wanted to fight against that force, she would be powerless.
Zhang Cuihua sighed softly and said, "Then I would like to thank Secretary Fang first. I won't bother you anymore. Goodbye."
Seeing Zhang Cuihua dragging her slightly unsteady steps, Fang Zhicheng shook his head helplessly. He had an idea and waited for her to disappear around the corner. Fang Zhicheng followed her. Zhang Cuihua turned into a small alley and started talking to a young woman.
"Have you seen Secretary Fang?" the woman asked.
"I met him, and he agreed to it. But I'm still a little worried. I want to petition, first to the municipal government. If that doesn't work, then I'll go to the provincial government. I must seek justice for Lao Lan." Zhang Cuihua said in tears.
The woman sighed and said, "Sister Zhang, please be patient and listen to me. Don't rush to appeal for the time being. See what Secretary Fang says. If he doesn't care, then it won't be too late for you to find other ways at that time!"
After that, Zhang Cuihua nodded and said nothing more. Fang Zhicheng moved to a hidden place and saw from the side that a young woman was helping Zhang Cuihua walk away slowly. Fang Zhicheng frowned and thought about it, and the woman was the female police officer who took his statement yesterday.
Fang Zhicheng didn't have much impression of the policewoman at the time. He only remembered that she was pretty and well-spoken. Now he thought that the policewoman was quite good. She must have sympathized with Zhang Cuihua last night, so she helped her secretly. As for his identity and address, they must have been found out by the policewoman secretly, which could explain everything and put Fang Zhicheng at ease.
After all, Zhang Cuihua was able to take the initiative to find him for help, which raised some doubts. Fang Zhicheng has now become very cautious in handling problems.
Fang Zhicheng felt warmed when he saw this scene. Although there are many cold-blooded stories in the news, the fact is that human nature is still kind, and there are many people like the policewoman who are willing to stand up.
Fang Zhicheng also secretly made up his mind to help Zhang Cuihua get justice.
After work, Xiang Xin took the initiative to come to the office and report to Fang Zhicheng on the progress of the case last night. "After a night of interrogation, it has been basically determined that this is a case of manslaughter. The two parties were originally colleagues, and they had a conflict because of some quarrels. The person who died was not the one who had a direct quarrel or conflict with the other party. It was determined to be an accidental injury, and now it may have to be resolved privately."
Fang Zhicheng nodded his finger on the desk and said, "What about the private solution? Are we just going to leave it to the two parties?"
Xiang Xin was slightly stunned, and smiled bitterly: "Generally speaking, police officers at grassroots police stations will do this when handling matters. As long as both parties reach a settlement, they will not make matters worse. After all, legal resources are limited. If the situation is not serious enough, they will choose to negotiate privately."
Fang Zhicheng sighed. What Xiang Xin said was a common situation in the Chinese police's handling of cases, which was to make big things small and small things nothing.
Fang Zhicheng said in a deep voice: "Then let me ask you, what is the degree of severity? Now that people have died, it is not serious, so what else can be called serious?"
Seeing Fang Zhicheng's sharp words, Xiang Xin realized that his boss was getting excited again. He sighed and said, "Secretary Fang, I have discussed this matter with Qiao Zhenhua. He has received double pressure from the Municipal Bureau and the Zhaoqiao Town Party Committee. The Zhaoqiao Town Party Committee held an emergency meeting last night and finally decided to suppress this matter."
Fang Zhicheng was surprised and asked, "Press it?"
"The Zhaoqiao Town Party Committee believes that if this matter spreads, it will have a huge negative impact on the local industrial park. You also know that this year Zhaoqiao Town has achieved the lead in attracting investment in the entire district relying on the development of the third phase of the industrial park. If negative news appears now, it will greatly affect the investment promotion work next year." Xiang Xin said as he looked up at Fang Zhicheng, observing his expression, and concluded that he could not see through what Fang Zhicheng was thinking at all.
Fang Zhicheng was silent for a moment, then said, "What do you think we should do?"
Xiang Xin didn't expect Fang Zhicheng to ask him directly. He couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "From the perspective of the Zhaoqiao Town Party Committee, it is understandable to control things within an effective range."
