Darkest Action

Chapter 150 The Darkest Hour 37

The large screen in the command center displayed the real-time pictures of each accident road section, and all the roads that were originally blocked have been restored to flow.

The secretary came to report to Qi Rui, saying that Mr. An, the city special, had come.Qi Rui stared at the large monitoring screen on the entire wall, still worried about leaving the podium, and asked the secretary to invite An Lan in directly.

After not seeing each other for many days, An Lan, who entered the command room, found that Qi Rui in front of him had lost a lot of weight, looking tired and vicissitudes of life.There were water glasses and gastric medicines on the podium, and An Lan put the thermos pot by Qi Rui's hand, half relieved, half teasing: "No matter how hard you work, you have to eat, I made this, don't think it's too bad ah!"

Seeing that the road conditions in the jurisdiction have all returned to normal, Qi Rui unscrewed the thermos, took a sip of An Lan's own cooking, and smiled slightly: "It's not bad, it's much improved."

There were dozens of busy liaison officers sitting under the podium. In the noisy environment, An Lan stood beside Qi Rui for a while, and suddenly asked, "Are there any problems between you and Meng Ran?"

Qi Rui took a mouthful of rice and put it into his mouth, and answered lightly: "No."

An Lan expected that he would say that, so she slowed down her speech and said, "Meng Ran's ability has already been revealed. If this continues, Qi Feng will use him more and more, but once that happens, the relationship between you two will become more and more serious. There can be no change. If you'll be honest with me, maybe I can help you..."

Qi Rui put down the spoon silently, turned his back to the big screen, and turned to An Lan: "There is nothing between me and Meng Ran."

Unexpectedly, as soon as his words fell, the picture on the large monitoring screen changed suddenly, and a series of jaw-dropping exclamations burst out from the mouths of dozens of liaison officers at the same time.An Lan raised her eyes quickly, scanned the big screen in front of her, and her expression changed accordingly.A second later, he suddenly stepped forward to stop Qi Rui, preventing him from turning around: "Don't look back, don't look..."

At the same time, a familiar gasp echoed in the huge command room.Qi Rui's face turned pale in an instant, and his whole body was as hard to move as if it had been filled with lead. He just stood there numbly, listening carefully to that familiar voice.Immediately afterwards, his breathing became rapid all of a sudden, those groans one after another were like sharp knives, stabbing his heart again and again.

"Go away!" Qi Rui roared suddenly, and pushed An Lan away from behind. He turned around suddenly, and the picture on the big screen was completely displayed in front of his eyes. What was played was an intimate scene that made people blush.

The scene on the screen is vaguely in an official's office. Two men in police uniforms are hugging and kissing on the sofa.The camera hidden above was tirelessly recording the truth, and Qi Rui's pupils trembled violently. Although he couldn't see the facial features of the man above, he clearly recognized the man below.

He... is Meng Ran!

For a while, the command room exploded.The liaison officers took off their earphones one after another, whispered to each other, and commented.

Within half a minute, the City Bureau's phone bombarded them, claiming that the monitoring screens of the sixteen sub-bureaus in Huangjiang had all been hacked, and simultaneously live broadcasted a humiliating erotic scene for the police.

On the screen, Meng Ran's face was photographed very clearly. He seemed to be unconscious, and he was completely manipulated by another man.

Within a few seconds, Qi Feng's phone caught up with An Lan's.As soon as An Lan picked it up, he heard a roar from the opposite side: "How the hell do you manage people?! Is Meng Ran crazy? Now the whole Huangjiang police circle is broadcasting live! Just based on this paragraph Video, his policeman's skin is going to be lost, how can Dong Zhen marry his daughter to him?!"

After Qi Feng scolded, An Lan roughly understood Meng Ran's mission and situation. He couldn't help clenching his fists and asked, "Qi Feng, have you considered Qi Rui's feelings, even a little bit? Is he his own brother?"

After finishing speaking, An Lan quickly closed the line, and immediately called Du Gang on duty: "Go! Don't delay for a moment, go to the deputy chief's office immediately and wake Meng Ran up!"

Qi Rui beside him suddenly moved, he took a deep breath, then walked out of the command room quickly, striding all the way towards the switch room.Seeing this, An Lan immediately followed.

Entering the switch room, Qi Rui stood in front of a row of main switches. His body was still trembling, and he was clearly far away from the big monitoring screen, but the kissing scene, those murmurs and groans seemed to penetrate the wall, Still lingering at him with a knife.

In an instant, a sharp pain rose from Qi Rui's stomach and spread all the way, hitting his heart directly. The pain made him stagger, and he was almost unable to stand still.

"Xiao Rui!" An Lan shouted anxiously, reaching out to help.But Qi Rui waved his arm and refused to help him. With trembling hands, he groped for the switch, exerted a sudden force, and quickly pressed down a whole row.

Suddenly, the power of the entire Jinglin sub-bureau was cut off, the light in the office building quickly went out in a grid pattern, and the picture on the large monitoring screen also turned into a black screen.

All the hustle and bustle seemed to have stopped at this moment.

In the dark and silent switch room, An Lan heard a low sob, and vaguely saw a few bright objects rolling down in the darkness, it was Qi Rui crying... His silhouette was overwhelmed, and he was about to Leaning on the wall, he squatted down a little bit.

In the large conference room of the Municipal Bureau, the top figures in the Huangjiang public security system sat on the side of the long table one by one with the backlight.

The afternoon sun was particularly dazzling, but the high-ranking officials couldn't see their expressions clearly, and the faces that were in the shadows seemed to have no eyes.Sitting in the center of the crowd was Qi Zeyang, his gaze swept across Meng Ran and landed on another person beside him.

"An Lan." Qi Zeyang called out his name, "What are your plans for Shi Te to cause such a big scandal?"

An Lan and Meng Ran sat side by side, neither humble nor overbearing said: "I request the criminal investigation team to intervene in the investigation."

He landed a word, but the atmosphere in the conference room seemed to have dropped to freezing point, and no one answered for a long time.The frozen air ended with the sound of Qi Zeyang's clapping. He picked up the incident materials at hand and threw them towards the opposite side.

"The big screens of the 16 yuan sub-bureau are all playing simultaneously!" Qi Zeyang slapped the table again and angrily scolded, "Such irrefutable evidence is right in front of us, do you still have the nerve to deny it?"

Among the scattered materials, a large pile of video screenshots were scattered all over the ground like snowflakes.In the picture, the picture of Meng Ran entangled and kissed with a man is particularly eye-catching. Those officials who were trapped in the shadows and seemed to be missing eyes began to talk hotly: "It's indecent! Such a scandal happened in the public security system. It's really dangerous. Indecent!"

"They have the face to do it, but I don't have the face to watch it! What a shame to the police!"

"The impact of this incident is too bad, and it seriously damages the police's appearance and discipline! The city must be severely punished, so as to serve as a warning to others!"

Amid the sound of crusade, Qi Zeyang turned his head to the left, and asked the head of the Inspector General: "You, tell me, what should be done in accordance with the regulations regarding Shi Te Mengran's crime this time?"

A thin layer of sweat broke out on the forehead of the inspector representative. After a little thought, he quickly grasped the meaning of the higher-ups, and immediately stated: "Theoretically, the dissemination of obscene videos has constituted a criminal offense, which is beyond the scope of ordinary violations of discipline. This The incident is causing a lot of trouble now, and it has had a very bad impact on the organization. The person involved should be punished severely, and he should be expelled from the party and public office. In addition, Meng Ran's immediate superiors are also responsible for lax supervision. Responsibility, should be subject to the corresponding demotion punishment."

Qi Zeyang got a satisfactory answer, turned his head to the right, and asked the director of a certain branch: "You, you were the first to come from the army after changing jobs, right? Can the Shite team lead?"

After asking this question, the latter let out a flattered "Ah", because he never dreamed that he would be able to pick up this piece of meat from An Lan's hand.He didn't dare to look at An Lan, but he couldn't hide his excitement: "If you are willing to give me a chance, then I will be willing to do so!"

Qi Zeyang nodded, and then turned to An Lan: "Did you hear clearly? As soon as the official letter comes out, you can vacate the position of the general captain and go back to the detachment to reshape your management ability."

"Qi Bureau wants me to be the team leader?" An Lan asked.

"What do you think?" Qi Zeyang said in a sinister tone, "Meng Ran, the person involved, will be dismissed. You are his boss, so of course you must also bear the responsibility."

On the side of the long table, the representative of the Criminal Investigation Corps stood up in response. It was a young man who looked a lot like Qi Rui.He respectfully said to Qi Zeyang: "Qi Bureau, there are still several doubts about the video incident that have not been clarified. As the person involved, why would Meng Ran publish unfavorable evidence that would affect his official career? If it was spread by him personally , that is obviously illogical, not to mention hacking into the internal systems of sixteen branch bureaus, technically it should not be possible for one person to do it."

Qi Zeyang looked at the young representative from No. 83 and quietly asked, "Who are you?"

The young man was not stage-frightened, and replied brightly, "My name is Wu Xia."

"Have been in the police force for less than four years?" Qi Zeyang's eyes fell on Wu Xia's shoulder straps on both sides, and he suddenly raised his voice: "Qi Feng is really getting more and more bastard! Is this a place where one bar and one can talk?" ?”

Wu Xia hurriedly explained that Qi Feng's absence was because he was receiving officials from neighboring provinces and departments.Qi Zeyang didn't give him another chance to say anything, he just winked at the guards and invited out the only blue shirt present.

Finally, Qi Zeyang's target turned back to Meng Ran. He didn't seem to be in a hurry. He slowly played with the lighter in his hand, lit a cigarette, and stared at Meng Ran opposite him through the wisps of smoke.

The high-ranking police officers present sat silently and none of them dared to move. They only heard Qi Zeyang give Meng Ran a verdict: "Take off the epaulettes and siren, and you can go."

Meng Ran raised his head slowly, and met Qi Zeyang's eyes. There was a torrent in his eyes, and he uttered three words clearly: "I protest."

"What?" Qi Zeyang asked coldly as if he didn't hear clearly.

"I protest."

"Oh, what are you talking about?"

Meng Ran pushed the seat away and stood up suddenly: "I said I protested!"

Qi Zeyang pressed his cigarette and asked with great interest, "Oh? I'd like to hear what you want to protest?"

Meng Ran picked up a testimonial from the table and showed it to everyone: "I have stated the incident many times. That night, I fell into a well-planned trap, so that my behavior deviated. Fortunately, Du Gang, the head of the city's special detachment, I broke in in time and stopped the absurd behavior that was taking place. After that, I asked for an immediate blood test. This report was enough to prove that my blood contained hallucinogens at that time, which led to a temporary loss of behavioral capacity. The case handling unit But they turned a blind eye to this evidence and simply dismissed it."

Recalling the night when the incident happened, Meng Ran couldn't help clenching his fists.

Yu Ning, the former pillow man stepped into the first gate of the city with a police uniform, and used his memories of Qi Xiaofeng to stay in his office, and finally he was still under the surveillance probe, thinking hard He fed the maddening hallucinogenic drug into his mouth.

When he was in a daze, Meng Ran seemed to hug Qi Rui again, his body couldn't stop sinking under the effect of the medicine, which made him lose his mind in a few seconds.Fortunately, Du Gang broke through the door in time, dragged Yu Ning, and beat him like a storm.

At that time, Meng Ran was still trapped in the illusory gentleness, he stumbled up from the sofa, and whispered to the political commissar.

Du Gang picked up a glass of cold water on the table and splashed it head-on, grabbed Meng Ran's shoulders and shouted: "Be sober, Brother Meng!"

Under the effect of cold water, Du Gang's cry pierced Meng Ran's eardrum with difficulty, and he couldn't help shrinking his pupils, and the illusory flowers in front of him quickly rotted.Across the line of sight, that illusory skin gradually weathered, shedding Qi Rui's outer skin, revealing its true appearance.

Across the long table, Qi Zeyang seemed to be listening, but also seemed to be absent-minded at all.He continued to play with the lighter, and only after a while did he ask the chief of the branch bureau in Shite's area: "Bureau Shen, the other person involved took the record at the police station under your supervision, right?"

The director surnamed Shen repeatedly said yes and nodded attentively.

"What did he say in the transcript, can you introduce it?" Qi Zeyang asked, flicking the lighter.

Director Shen pondered for a moment, and soon had an answer: "That person is Yu Ning, a local who returned from studying abroad. What he stated in the transcript is very different from what Meng Ran said. Yu Ning emphasized to the handling police, saying that The police uniform was given to him by Meng Ran himself, and as for the hallucinogenic drug, it was Meng Ran who got it for the two of them to add to the fun, the purpose is... to make it more exciting."

After Director Shen finished speaking, the long table was filled with sobs.Several senior senior leaders even made heartbroken expressions, exclaiming that in such a deteriorating world, there are law enforcement officers who desecrate the sacred police uniforms so much.

Qi Zeyang raised his hand to stop everyone's discussion and deprived Meng Ran of the right to defend himself: "Your style is indiscreet. As a public servant in the system, having an improper relationship with the same sex is enough to be directly removed. Now you Self-disclosure of a blood sample test, are you planning to add another charge of taking prohibited drugs?"

Qi Zeyang said as he put down the lighter in his hand, and made a verdict on Meng Ran: "I order you to take off your uniform, go out this door, and surrender yourself immediately!"

Hearing this, An Lan stood up quickly. He was about to speak in defense, but Meng Ran waved him away.At this moment, Meng Ran lowered his head and sneered. His smile was full of sarcasm, which caused many people present to look at each other.

Suddenly, the laughter stopped abruptly.

Meng Ran raised his eyes, his eyes were sharp and fierce, and he stabbed directly at Qi Zeyang: "If you want to pick off my uniform, you'd better find out if there is any shady trick in my hands."

Qi Zeyang went up against the crime and shouted for the guards to handcuff Meng Ran.

"You and I could have given each other a chance." Meng Ran remained unafraid, still staring at Qi Zeyang.

The latter's face gradually turned livid, and a trace of imperceptible uneasiness quickly passed through Qi Zeyang's eyes.He was suddenly startled, wondering what trump card was hidden in Meng Ran's hand.

Could it be that...the evidence left over from the case more than ten years ago is actually in his hands?

Fool, oh fool!

Qi Zeyang couldn't help scolding Qi Rui in his heart.He couldn't understand what kind of love and trust would allow his youngest son to hand over a life-like physical evidence to this person in front of him.

At the moment of the stalemate between the two sides, the door of the city bureau meeting room was suddenly pushed open from the outside.The person who stepped in from the outside was Du Gang. He stood upright and gave a warning salute to the senior officials present: "I have important clues to report to the leaders about the video incident."

For a moment, all suspicious eyes fell on Du Gang, including Meng Ran.

Qi Zeyang said: "Tell me, what clue?"

Du Gang replied: "On the day of the live broadcast, I was the first witness to rush into the scene. What I want to report to you is that the man who tried to have a relationship with Meng Ran, the deputy captain of the city's special chief, was not the Yu Ning in the transcript. , but someone else!"

As soon as Rashomon's remarks appeared, it was like sprinkling a handful of salt into a boiling oil pan, which aroused heated discussions among everyone.Meng Ran's nerves tensed suddenly, and he stared closely at Du Gang who appeared unexpectedly.

"Oh?" Qi Zeyang raised his eyebrows, "Isn't it Yu Ning? Didn't you turn him over to the police station?"

"That's not the case at all!" Du Gang said firmly, "After I rushed into the office, I smashed the camera immediately, and then pulled up the man who tried to rape Mr. Meng. Mr. Meng was drugged at the time, and his mind was very disturbed." Awake, accompanied by convulsions and convulsions, I was eager to check on his condition, and a carelessness suddenly made that man run away."

"According to you, that man raped Meng Ran unilaterally?" Qi Zeyang asked.

"That's true." Du Gang replied.

Qi Zeyang sneered: "Okay! Meng Ran's subordinates are really smart, and they know how to throw the blame on a stranger who escaped. In this way, as long as the so-called rape suspect can't be found, Meng Ran's subordinates are really smart. Then he became a victim."

"You're wrong, Qi Ji." Du Gang shook his head, "The suspect is not a stranger, I saw his face, I know him."

Every word of Du Gang's words was like a needle, which made Meng Ran gasp.He seemed to realize what the other party was going to say next, and quickly stopped him: "Stop talking, get out!"

This reaction hit Qi Zeyang's heart, and he asked Du Gang again: "Really, then tell me who is that person?"

Just as Du Gang was about to answer, the door of the conference room was pushed open again, and a bright light shone in, piercing into the dim conference room.

Qi Rui, who was dressed in a straight uniform, walked in. Ignoring everyone's unexpected gazes, he brushed against the shocked Meng Ran without looking sideways, and stood shoulder to shoulder with him, facing Qi Zeyang and said: " That person is me."

With a single word, the entire conference room fell silent for an instant.Qi Rui's eyes were calm, and he repeated again: "That night, I was the one who wanted to rape Meng Ran."

One meter away from him, Meng Ran stared intently at Qi Rui who was one step away, and took another long breath.

At the long table, Director Shen took the lead in expressing his distress: "That's not right, Qi Rui. The transcript at the police station was indeed dictated by the person named Yu Ning. How could the person in the video become you?"

Qi Rui didn't say much, took out a USB flash drive from his uniform pocket, and connected it to the computer on the conference table.

Then, two videos were played in sequence on the high-hanging white screen. They were the image of Qi Rui entering Shite 10 minutes before the live broadcast, and the figure of him leaving quickly about 2 minutes after the live broadcast was interrupted.

"These two videos were captured by the city's special surveillance, and the time is clearly displayed. They happened before and after the live broadcast on the big screens of each sub-bureau."

Qi Rui standing in front of everyone was calm and composed, as if he was giving a speech that had nothing to do with him. He pointed to himself on the screen: "As you can see, the person in the surveillance is me. Not long ago, Meng Ran, the deputy head of the city's special chief, unilaterally proposed to break up with me on the grounds of violating organizational discipline. I have been trying to keep him, but he has strong political determination and always refuses my reconciliation request. I am not reconciled, I want To take revenge on him, so on the night of the incident, he entered Shite premeditatedly, forced him to swallow the hallucinogenic drugs prepared in advance, and attempted to rape him."

In the blink of an eye, the expressions of the high-ranking officials on the long table changed one after another. No one expected that this certain plot could turn around in such a way.

There was a layer of water mist in Meng Ran's eye sockets, he closed his eyes suddenly, suppressed the rushing emotions, and when he opened them again, the watery light that had just appeared had disappeared.The man standing side by side with him has experienced all kinds of instigation by illusions, withstood all kinds of trials of reality, put aside the many illusions that seeing is believing, and used his sincerity to precipitate a silent understanding and trust.

The meeting room with more than ten people seemed to cast two beams of light, which only enveloped Meng Ran and Qi Rui.They never talked or looked at each other, but their souls and fates were connected.

On the opposite side of the long table, Qi Zeyang was not in a hurry to question Qi Rui, but turned to ask the acting director of the Jinglin branch: "Director Zheng, tell me where Qi Rui was at the time of the incident? What were you doing?"

Since Yao Yixian was detained, Zheng Ping, the deputy director, took his place temporarily.

At this moment, Director Zheng's thin-haired head was already covered with cold sweat, he hesitated and said: "Uh... that night, there were several traffic accidents in the district, I was busy checking the road monitoring in the command center, it's true...it's not true. I know where the political commissar went..."

As soon as his trembling voice fell, Qi Zeyang immediately asked: "Were you the person in the command center at that time?"

Director Zheng almost couldn't sit still, and barely supported his trembling body: "Yes, yes... I am in the command center..."

"Zheng Ping!" Qi Zeyang suddenly stood up, "Don't you want to do it?!"

After being asked angrily, another person suddenly stood up——An Lan, who had been sitting next to Meng Ran, answered, "I can prove that the person who was in charge of the Jinglin Sub-bureau that night was Director Zheng, because at that time, I was also there. on site."

An Lan's words undoubtedly increased the weight of Qi Rui's side, causing everyone present to sigh.

Director Zheng Ping tremblingly wiped off the cold sweat on his face. In front of him was a mobile phone with the screen facing down, constantly receiving messages, one by one, section by section...all of them were in the hotel with several mistresses. Crazy photos and videos.

A sentence is added at the end: Whether you want to announce it to the public depends on your performance.

Zheng Ping carefully lifted the corner of the phone, glanced at it, then pressed it down again immediately, sneaking a sneaky glance at Qi Rui.

In my impression, the Second Young Master is totally different from his unscrupulous father and elder brother, he has always been refined, forbearing and kind, but what Zheng Ping didn't expect was that the gentle and gentle Qi Rui would be so scheming and cunning once he broke up with him. Multi-terminal.He mobilized all available resources in a very short period of time, completely destroyed the real images of the three places in the city, the sub-bureau, and the police station, and created two time false evidences that were false; The police officers who are in the same room, except for trusted confidantes, as long as they are unfamiliar with each other, within a day, send someone to collect the key information of the other party, whether they threaten or lure, hit the target with one blow, and there is no response water.

Zheng Ping only felt that Qi Rui in front of him was very scary. He sacrificed himself, tried his best to turn the tide, and resolved the conspiracy against Meng Ran, but he didn't ask himself to get out of the way.

Qi Rui faced Qi Zeyang directly: "I've said everything that needs to be said. As for why an unrelated person was killed to make a transcript to slander Meng Ran, you need to continue to investigate further."

Qi Zeyang's eyes finally moved over, he looked Qi Rui up and down: "You are responsible for every word you say here!"

Qi Rui didn't look away at all, he took off his police cap and uniform, and put them on the conference table: "I came here to resign and surrender."

Since entering the meeting room, Qi Rui has never looked at Meng Ran from the beginning to the end. At this moment, he still does not look sideways: "Officer Meng Ran has a firm stand and deep awareness. He is an excellent leader. I am ashamed that he got into this scandal and I hope he accepts my apology."

After a while of silence, a cold voice resounded, Meng Ran turned sideways to Qi Rui: "I accept."

Qi Rui turned his face in response and met Meng Ran's eyes.During the seconds of staring at each other, they obviously didn't say a word, but they seemed to have spoken a thousand words.

Breaking away from the initial shock, Meng Ran now fully accepts Qi Rui's plan.In this darkest moment where the sun is not visible, it was Qi Rui who brought a ray of hope, enabling him to leap to a higher and farther place.

Meng Ran spoke again: "I accept your apology and renounce any responsibility for you."
