Just after nuclear fusion was successfully achieved, my brother Qi Tongwei committed suicide?

"We really can't hold them accountable!"

There was a long silence on the other end of the phone.

When Li Dakang spoke again, his voice carried an almost weary coldness, tinged with a hint of ruthless cruelty.

I don't care about habits!

"Regardless of their merits or hard work, does that mean they can make such a mistake just because they've worked for many years?"

"You must remember this!"

"You're the director of the municipal bureau, it's normal for you to want to protect your own people, but don't forget the original mission of our organization!"

"If you make a mistake, you must be punished!"

"Otherwise, it would be unfair to the people!"

"You, Zhao Donglai."

"Give the entire municipal police force a thorough baptism of fire! This is not a joke, nor am I negotiating with you."

"It's a mission!"

After Li Dakang finished speaking, he hung up the phone immediately.

Zhao Donglai slowly put down the phone.

A feeling of helplessness filled my heart.

Jingzhou Municipal Bureau, small conference room.

The smoke was so thick it was impossible to disperse.

Several veteran police officers who were named and held accountable smoked silently, their faces ashen.

Bi Chang from the Nanguan branch kicked the chair away with a bang and slammed a stack of documents onto the table!

"Bullshit!"

"The Zhang Binghe case has all the evidence, both witnesses and physical evidence! The medical report clearly shows how ruthless that guy was!"

"Look what they've done to them!"

"He himself is perfectly fine!"

"Now the court is trying to convict us of a wrongful conviction with just a casual remark about excessive self-defense?"

"I do not accept!"

There was dead silence in the conference room.

A flash of anger crossed everyone's eyes; they felt deep down that their approach was correct.

And above.

Zhao Donglai, who had been silent all along, finally stubbed out his cigarette.

His gaze shifted from hesitation to determination.

He said, "Everyone here is a veteran police officer and a seasoned criminal investigator."

“I know that everyone has a hard time. They are busy every day, and sometimes they may not be able to get a good night’s sleep for several days in a row because of a murder case.”

"Here, I, Zhao Donglai, would like to make a statement to you."

"Everyone's basic legal literacy must be improved. I will find some younger partners for you later."

"Young people today have a relatively high level of legal awareness."

"When you encounter things you don't understand in the future, listen to the opinions of young people more often."

"But this responsibility."

"I won't let you take the blame! You've worked for decades, and I can't let you end up carrying the stigma of handling wrongful convictions!"

"If you really have to take responsibility."

"What will my comrades think of me, Zhao Donglai?"

"Who would dare to handle cases after this?!"

"Does our city bureau's work still need to proceed? So I absolutely will not let you take this responsibility!"

Handong, Jingzhou, Mu Chen's office.

Mu Chen paused after hearing his secretary's whispered report.

"Zhao Donglai, are you sure this is your stance?"

The secretary nodded.

"yes."

"The court said the municipal bureau was extremely adamant and refused to sign the accountability documents."

"I don't think there's anything wrong with their materials either."

Mu Chen lowered his eyes, his gaze deep.

"knew."

The secretary hesitated before saying, "Do you think we need...?"

Mu Chen raised his hand to stop him.

My gaze shifted to the leaden-gray clouds outside the window.

He said, "This Zhao Donglai."

"It's time to reflect on this."

Chapter 300 Zhao Donglai is suspended from his duties for self-reflection! Li Dakang pleads for leniency!

Mu Chen tapped his fingertips lightly twice on the hard wooden table.

The voice wasn't loud, but it sent a chill down the spine of the secretary standing to the side.

Zhao Donglai's attitude this time was not good.

Mu Chen looked out the window at the sky, recalling what his secretary had just said.

"At an internal meeting of the Municipal Bureau, Comrade Zhao Donglai clearly stated that he wanted to protect the people below him, believing that the veteran officers had worked hard and should not be punished too severely."

"And... I don't think they made any fundamental mistakes in the case files or procedures either."

Zhao Donglai was unwilling to admit the mistakes of the Municipal Bureau.

They were determined to confront those above.

This left Mu Chen feeling quite helpless; everyone knows that working at the Municipal Bureau isn't easy either.

But we can't deny that it's not easy.

Then the standards and requirements are lost!

They've forgotten their original aspirations!

Mu Chen remained calm and spoke each word clearly:

Tell Li Dakang.

"Zhao Donglai, director of the Jingzhou Municipal Public Security Bureau, has serious errors in his thinking and bears unshirkable leadership responsibility for the low legal literacy and weak procedural awareness exposed in the grassroots law enforcement teams."

"Even after the problems were clearly pointed out above, they still failed to recognize their mistakes, defend their subordinates, and obstruct accountability."

"Effective immediately, you are suspended from your duties for self-reflection."

"The deputy director will temporarily preside over the work of the municipal bureau."

"We must ensure the smooth progress of the retrial and that all accountability measures are implemented effectively! No one should be overlooked!"

The secretary's heart tightened, and she quickly jotted down every word.

He understands.

This time, Mu Chen is serious!

Office of the Secretary of the Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee.

Li Dakang held the phone, listening to the instructions relayed from the special envoy's office, his brow furrowed.

After pondering for a while...

Li Dakang still wanted to make one last effort to help Zhao Donglai.

"Comrade, could you please report this to the special envoy again?"

"Zhao Donglai is capable and has a strong sense of responsibility. He has made great contributions to the improvement of public security in Jingzhou over the years."

"The situation at the grassroots level is indeed complex, especially those veteran police officers..."
