Chapter 209: Chapter 209: Yuan Weicheng’s Protection

Yuan Weizhou finally said, "Stop dawdling, get home early to accompany the old man if there’s nothing pressing. How long has it been since you last visited?"

Yuan Weicheng this time didn’t retort, "Big Brother, about Luo Qiao’s matter, could you make another call to check on the situation? This is a case of intentional homicide.

I heard from Lu Yichen that the girl who harmed Luo Qiao is the daughter of the Party Secretary of Qingshan Village, and that secretary even hinted at pressuring the clan to make Luo Qiao overlook the incident."

After thinking for a moment, Yuan Weizhou glanced at his watch and picked up the phone, "Please connect me to the Wangshan County Committee."

The person on the other end of the call asked, "Hello, who would you like to speak with?"

Yuan Weizhou said, "I’m Yuan Weizhou, connect me to Guo Zijing of Ji City, Wangshan County Committee."

The operator responded, "One moment, I’ll transfer you right away."

The call was quickly transferred, "Hello, this is Beijing, is this Ji City, Wangshan County?"

The voice on the other end said, "Yes, this is Ji City, Wangshan County. May I ask whom you wish to speak with?"

"Please connect me to Guo Zijing," requested this side.

The Wangshan County operator replied again, "Please hold, I’ll connect you immediately."

A few minutes later, the call was put through, and Yuan Weizhou said, "This is Yuan Weizhou."

No sooner had he stated his name than the person on the other end hurriedly responded, "Minister Yuan, are you asking about that case? Rest assured, I will keep an eye on it."

Yuan Weizhou stated, "Yes, I’m just concerned about the progress of the case. You should pursue the facts, ensure fairness and justice, and avoid blaming an innocent comrade, but also not let any criminals get away."

Guo Zijing replied, "Understood, understood. The suspect in that case has confessed to the crime without denial. Minister, don’t worry, we will definitely be fair and just, and not engage in any miscarriage of justice."

After hanging up the phone, Yuan Weizhou looked at his brother, "You heard it as well, that should set your mind at ease, right?"

With a smile, Yuan Weicheng said, "Then Big Brother, continue with your work; I’ll go home and see the old man."

Yuan Weizhou waved him off and then suddenly called out to Yuan Weicheng, "Don’t let slip about this, you know what the old man is like. If he finds out what happened to Luo Qiao, it might give rise to another mishap."

"Big Brother, do you really think I’m a fool?" replied Yuan Weicheng with a jibe.

Finished talking, he turned and strode out of the office. As he exited the door, his expression fell. His department could not meddle in local affairs; the implication of asking Big Brother to make that call was something Big Brother himself was well aware of.

A village secretary with such deep scheming, even wanting to use clan influence to oppress a helpless girl—did he think this was a feudal dynasty? Someone like that was not fit to sit in that position anymore.

Luo Qiao had just returned home not long before there was a knock at the door.

When Luo Qiao came out, she saw Lu Yichen accompanied by a man and a woman from the public security bureau; she knew they had certainly come to take her statement.

The female officer said, "Young lady, don’t be afraid. We’re just here to ask about what happened. Just tell us whatever you know; we came by earlier only to find out that you had gone to the city for a medical check-up."

Luo Qiao replied with a smile, "Please, have a seat. I’ll tell you everything I know."

After the two public security officers had asked all they needed to, the woman said, "Comrade Luo Qiao, I need to take a few photos of you to add to the case file. Is that okay with you?"

Luo Qiao stood up and said, "Sure, come into the house with me."

Then, reconsidering, she added, "Actually, let’s do it in the yard instead. It’s too dark in the house; the lighting is better outside right now."
