Ye Xuan's legs went weak and he was about to kneel down in front of Huo Shaoheng.
Huo Shaoheng quickly pulled his arm to stop him from kneeling, and nodded, "I promise you, when her body is brought back, I will bury her with her parents."
Gu Xiangwen and his wife have been buried in the National Martyrs Cemetery in the Imperial Capital, and Xiao Nianzhi, as their underage daughter, can also enjoy the same treatment.
No matter what, there is no doubt about Xiao Nianzhi's identity.
Ye Xuan thanked Huo Shaoheng profusely and agreed that he would call him over to see Xiao Nianzhi off for the last time, and then he left his office with peace of mind.
Huo Shaoheng asked someone to send Ye Xuan out, and then asked Zhao Liangze to take the video he had just recorded to show it to Gu Yanran.
When Gu Yanran saw Huo Shaoheng in the video, she suddenly asked Ye Xuan: "Have you realized that you fell in love with the wrong person and regretted it?"
Then when Ye Xuan blurted out "Of course" and expressed regret, Gu Yanran was so angry that she was shaking all over.
She gritted her teeth, clenched her fists tightly, and pinched her fingers so deep into her palms that they bled.
The heart-piercing pain made her want to roar, scream, and vent, but her movements were restricted by the electronic collar around her neck.
This feeling of rage but no way to vent it made her suffer even more. She clutched her chest and fell to the ground, crying so hard that she almost lost her breath.
This time, she deeply understood Huo Shaoheng's unyielding behavior.
In other circumstances, it might be okay to say that once his and Nian Zhi's feelings are offended, they will definitely fight back fiercely.
No matter from which aspect, he will not make it easy for you.
…
After seeing Ye Xuan off, Huo Shaoheng asked Fan Jian to drive him to see Bai Jinyi who was imprisoned in prison.
One year of prison life made Bai Jinyi even older.
She was about the same age as Song Jinning, but now she looked similar to Song Jinning's grandparents.
Chicken skin, white hair, and old age.
Huo Shaoheng sat on the chair in the reception room and calmly watched Bai Jinyi come over in handcuffs and sat down in front of him.
"Major General Huo? What a rare visitor." Bai Jinyi sat down slowly, tilted her head and smiled, "What do you want from me?"
Huo Shaoheng looked her over and said calmly: "You have been in prison for one year, just like ten years."
"Yes, my days here are really like years..." Bai Jinyi just said something and suddenly realized that Huo Shaoheng was saying that she had aged ten years in one year!
Suddenly my teeth started to itch with anger.
For a woman, even a convicted murderer does not mind being called fat or old.
This has nothing to do with a woman's status, situation, and treatment, it's purely instinctive.
Bai Jinyi immediately changed her face, glared at Huo Shaoheng, and stood up with a sneer: "Major General Huo came here just to see my jokes? - Then I won't accompany you!"
Huo Shaoheng sunbathed slightly, looked at Bai Jinyi's old face, and suddenly said: "Bai Jinyi, seven years ago, you went to City C to monitor the special magnetic field data. Who gave you the news?"
Bai Jinyi was about to turn around when she suddenly froze when she heard this.
The expression on her face had no time to change. She was struggling between anger and panic, and was very twisted.
Seeing Bai Jinyi's appearance, Huo Shaoheng knew better.
Sure enough, that special magnetic field didn't appear suddenly.
"Seven years ago? You were still the director of High Energy Physics in the Imperial Capital and have not left the Imperial Capital. How did you know that in City C, a special magnetic field would appear at a specific time?"
Huo Shaoheng threw questions one after another, "bombing" Bai Jinyi's brain, leaving her overwhelmed.
"Or do you have real-time monitoring of the magnetic field in the entire C City, or in the entire China?"
"Don't fool me with this excuse." Huo Shaoheng's attitude became more and more calm, "This kind of technology can't even be achieved by our military. Although your Institute of High Energy Physics represents the highest level of Chinese physics, it can't be achieved either. .”
“Because this requires not technology, but huge financial resources and rigorous execution capabilities.”
"Your high-energy physics department doesn't have these two things."
Huo Shaoheng stood up and put his hands in his trouser pockets to take some time to relax, "You also specifically asked for military protection, and specifically appointed me to personally come forward."
His eyes narrowed almost imperceptibly, "Tell me, who gave you the news? Why do you have to protect you?"
When Bai Jinyi heard this, her heart almost jumped out of her throat.
After a moment of slowing down, he calmed down. He glanced back at Huo Shaoheng sideways and said with a faint smile, "No one gave me the news. I happened to observe the results myself."
"... By chance? You are in the imperial capital. Under what circumstances do you monitor the downtown area of C City?" Huo Shaoheng remained motionless and looked at Bai Jinyi quietly, "Actually, it doesn't matter if you don't tell me."
Huo Shaoheng looked Bai Jinyi up and down with deep eyes, "From your physical reaction just now, I can see that someone has indeed given you news. I will apply for a search warrant from the court and continue to search all your movable and immovable properties."
He didn't believe that a woman who had been imprisoned and sentenced to death could continue to hide it.
Unexpectedly, Bai Jinyi didn't seem worried at all, she smiled and bent over.
"Okay, you go check it out! If you find out, it's yours!" Bai Jinyi raised her handcuffed hands, covered them in front of her, and covered her mouth, but her laughter still appeared.
This reaction is somewhat abnormal.
"... You have destroyed all sources of information?" Huo Shaoheng judged subconsciously and thought deeply: "That means that someone did give you information, and it was a one-time message. So, it was emails, letters, small notes, mobile phones Text message, or phone call?”
Huo Shaoheng spoke very slowly. As he spoke, he carefully observed Bai Jinyi's expression.
When Huo Shaoheng said "emails, letters, small notes, and text messages on mobile phones," Bai Jinyi was noncommittal, and his expression did not change at all.
Only when he said "phone", Bai Jinyi's eyes blinked involuntarily.
"... It seems to be a phone call." Huo Shaoheng thought thoughtfully, "I can go to the telecommunications department and mobile phone operators to retrieve the call records of all your landlines and mobile phones from seven years ago."
In this way, it doesn't matter even if the content on her phone is deleted.
But Bai Jinyi was still laughing, "Okay, you go check it out. I'm still saying the same thing, if you find out, it's up to you... Hahahaha..."
Huo Shaoheng's heart moved. Bai Jinyi's fearless attitude reminded him of another mobile phone.
In that phone, content was received that was not sent through the cell phone operator.
He nodded slightly, "I know, it should be my uncle's mobile phone. If I remember correctly, that mobile phone received a set of coordinate data eleven years ago, which is exactly where C City is. So that's it , seven years ago, that mobile phone should have received a message again. - Thank you for conveying it. Farewell."
Huo Shaoheng turned around and left neatly, while Bai Jinyi was dumbfounded behind him.
She obviously didn't tell any important clues and only laughed a few times. How did this guy piece together her sources? !
Huo Shaoheng was absolutely right. Eleven years ago, Huo Guanyuan's mobile phone received a set of coordinate data for the first time.
In order to prevent others from knowing that Huo Guanyuan's mobile phone was with her, she could only study it secretly, but after studying it for a long time in City C, she could not figure out the reason, and then gave up.
Until seven years ago, her mobile phone, which had no signal at all, suddenly received a call. Someone told her that at a certain time, a special magnetic field would appear somewhere in City C, and said that she would give her a big gift, as long as Huo Shaoheng was present...
As a result, she did not get any results that time except for a set of magnetic field data and a sudden car accident and explosion.
Of course, if the orphan girl Gu Nianzhi was considered a great gift, then she was treated like a monkey.
So she didn't mention the call to anyone.
"Huo Shaoheng! Come back!" Bai Jinyi was anxious.
As soon as Huo Shaoheng mentioned this matter, she remembered it.
Seeing that Huo Shaoheng was so urgent and even made a special trip to visit him in prison, she immediately knew that this news was the clue that Huo Shaoheng and the others urgently needed. She immediately planned to find a rare commodity and discuss it with her niece Bai Yueran to get a reduced sentence for meritorious service!
As a result, Huo Shaoheng guessed the source of the news at once, and she even got a reduced sentence!
But Huo Shaoheng ignored her at all.
His uncle Huo Guanyuan's mobile phone is now in Song Jinning's hands. Huo Shaoheng only needs to borrow it from Song Jinning.
As for Bai Jinyi's appearance of being hung up and sold, he couldn't see that she wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to make meritorious deeds and commute her sentence
Haha, don’t think too beautifully.
After Huo Shaoheng left, Bai Jinyi was restless and finally asked the warden to see Bai Yueran, the director of the Special Operations Judicial Affairs Office, claiming that there were important clues that needed to be reported.
She was following the formal channels to report, and the Bai family was still at the pinnacle of power in China. The warden would not, could not, and did not dare to stop her.
…
"Bai Jinyi wants to see me? Did she say anything happened?" Bai Yueran received a call from the warden in his office. He put down his pen, turned his chair around, looked at the large half-person-high window in front of him, and frowned slightly. , “Does she still have visiting hours?”
According to regulations, prisoners in prison have fixed visiting hours, and it is impossible to see whomever they want anytime and anywhere.
The warden looked at the regulations and said, "Bai Jinyi's visitation time is indeed left, but this time she said she had major clues to report and wanted to reduce her sentence for meritorious service."
"This way..." Bai Yueran pondered for a moment, "Wait a moment and let me see if I still have time."
As the Chief of the Special Operations Judicial Branch, she also has a very busy schedule.
She looked at her schedule and saw that she did have an hour's free time this afternoon. She originally planned to hold a meeting with the Legal Department to discuss future work needs.
However, Bai Jinyi said that he had important clues to report, and if he wanted to reduce his sentence for meritorious service, this request could not be ignored.
Meetings can be held every day, but my aunt has been sentenced to death, but a two-year reprieve can usually be commuted to life imprisonment.
What Bai Jinyi committed offended the Huo family, and Bai Yueran also knew it. She knew even better that with Huo Shaoheng's character and way of dealing with things, it was impossible to let Bai Jinyi go...
But what if what Bai Jinyi reported was really a big clue that would benefit the country and the people
There are precedents for serious criminals in prison to have their sentences commuted for reporting important clues.
Bai Yueran hesitated for a while, and then said to the warden on the other end of the phone: "Then it will be four o'clock this afternoon. Is it convenient for you?"
"It's convenient. Then I told her, four o'clock in the afternoon." The warden made an appointment and politely said to Bai Yueran: "See you in the afternoon." before hanging up the phone.
Bai Yueran could no longer work.
She packed her things and got up to go find her father Bai Jiancheng.
Her father is now the Prime Minister of the Chinese Empire.
The prime minister of a country, even though she is his daughter, cannot just meet him whenever he wants.
It is impossible to be like the daughter of a president of a certain country who can sit in his Oval Office and receive foreign guests with him.
Even when there was an emperor in the Chinese Empire, there was no such tradition.
She still waited outside the door politely, waiting until her father had afternoon tea for fifteen minutes.
"Yueran, why do you have time to come to me at this time?" Bai Jiancheng smiled and pushed a plate of vanilla French cakes in front of Bai Yueran, and said kindly: "Eat it, this is your favorite cake."
Bai Yueran reached out to pick up a piece and started to eat it. After eating, she whispered: "My aunt just asked someone to call me and said that she had important news to report and wanted to commute her sentence for meritorious service."
When Bai Jiancheng heard the news from Bai Jinyi, he immediately frowned, "What other important news does she have? Didn't I trick you into begging for mercy and commuting her sentence?"
Bai Yueran thought to herself, this is probably the reason...
But what if Bai Jinyi really remembered some great clue
This is also possible.
Bai Yueran is engaged in legal work and is also a very good lawyer. She never lets go of any useful clues.
"I'd better go there. For the sake of reason, it's no big deal if I go to see her."
Apart from official duties, Bai Yueran is also Bai Jinyi's family member. They cannot deliberately alienate her just because she is a prisoner.
In this way, ordinary people will not think that they are deliberately avoiding suspicion, but will think that they are impersonal.
An impersonal label is not a good thing for a prime minister who came to power through an election.
Bai Yueran stood up and said cautiously: "If anything happens, I'll report to you right away."
Bai Jiancheng thought for a moment and agreed, "Okay, no matter what, she is your aunt. Even if you go to see her off for the last time, it is still right."
Bai Yueran nodded, left Bai Jiancheng's office, and went to the prison where Bai Jinyi was imprisoned.
…
Bai Jinyi didn't expect Bai Yueran to immediately agree to see her, and she felt mixed feelings in her heart.
She originally thought that since her eldest brother was elected Prime Minister, he would draw a clear line with her.
So this year, she has not made any demands, and she dare not remind others that Bai Jiancheng has a sister who is a felon like her.
Although this matter had already been criticized by political opponents during Bai Jiancheng's general election, it was better to avoid it if possible.
She waited anxiously in the visiting room of the prison. When she saw Bai Yueran walking in bravely, Bai Jinyi stood up excitedly.
"Yue Ran! Long time no see!"
Bai Yueran glanced at Bai Jinyi, pulled out the chair, sat down, and said to Bai Jinyi, "Sit down."
Bai Jinyi sat down and put her arms on the long table in front of her. She leaned forward slightly and carefully looked at the beautiful face of her niece. At the same time, she found that her left hand was still empty, not even a ring.
"... Yueran, you're not married yet?" Bai Jinyi frowned, "You're not young, are you?"
