Once, I wanted to be a good person

Although Fang Ze appeared so confident just now, everyone guessed that he must have evidence that could prove Hua Jian was already dead.

However, nobody knew what exactly that evidence was.@@novelbin@@

Could it be clothing stained with Hua Jian's blood? Could it be a personal item that Hua Jian had lost? A death video? Or perhaps an eyewitness?

Now, looking at the stretcher covered with a white cloth and smelling the stench of decay wafting from it, the commissioners present knew what Fang Ze had found.

Indeed, when Nan Yi and the others brought the stretcher before everyone, Fang Ze squatted down and lifted the white cloth.

Immediately, the decomposed body of Hua Jian was exposed in front of everyone.

Many of those present were Commissioners from the administrative departments of the Security Bureau, who usually did not deal with cases. Thus, suddenly seeing the corpse and smelling the rot, they all turned around and began to retch.

As expected, Xun Yi had her skills. She first glanced at the corpse, then, as if nothing were amiss, crouched down and began examining the clothes and hair of the body.

After confirming it was Hua Jian, she knew in her heart that today's matter was now set in stone.

With this key piece of evidence, Fang Ze's work over this period of time had been fully vindicated.

He had completely claimed the moral high ground.

Anyone who came forward to nitpick or question, at this moment, became a hundred percent villain.

No matter what Director Qin's true intentions were, the moment Fang Ze believed he was maliciously probing the Special Case Team's case details, he was doomed.

Everything could only be chalked up to his bad luck—he had just happened to collide with the business end of a gun.

As for herself, she now had no excuse whatsoever to help him get out of this.

So, with this in mind, Xun Yi pulled out a handkerchief, wiped her hands, then stood up and said, "Thank you, Commissioner Fang Ze, for providing the information."

"We will discuss the new case assignment for the head of the department as soon as possible."

Hearing Xun Yi's words, Fang Ze covered the body with the white cloth again and then said with a smile, "Hold on a second, Officer Xun Yi."

"Aren't you curious why I, who had already found the body a long time ago, waited until today, when you came out to question, to have the commissioners retrieve it?"

Hearing Fang Ze's words, Xun Yi asked indifferently, "Why?"

Fang Ze's expression became colder and colder, "Because! I want to catch the traitor within the Security Bureau! I suspect that there are others in our Security Bureau who are half-hearted!"

"So, I was using this corpse as bait! To see who was so concerned about the progress of the case, so concerned about the status of Hua Jian Department Chief!"

Hearing his words, Xun Yi's pupils slightly constricted, and she couldn't help feeling a bit of thin anger, "Are you suspecting me?"

Fang Ze grinned, "I never said that. You admitted it yourself."

With that, he surveyed all the watching commissioners and Director Shen Yayun, who still stood in front of the crowd, trying to calm herself down, and said with a smile, "Today, anyone who acted a bit off, I've already noted in my heart."

"I hope when it's time for me to have a chat with you, you'll cooperate to the best of your ability."

"Don't worry, the tea in the Special Case Team is specially supplied by Mentor Qing Ya from the training center, and it's delicious."

"I believe drinking it for a few years will not tire anyone out."

Hearing Fang Ze's unabashed threat, the commissioners felt as if they were being watched by a venomous snake, their backs tingling uncomfortably.

Powerful, with great potential, reckless, and holding grudges—that kind of person was the most difficult to deal with!

So they all avoided Fang Ze's gaze, fearing to draw trouble upon themselves!

Xun Yi also snorted coldly and then turned and left the place in a huff.

Seeing this, chiefs and commissioners from other departments exchanged glances and also quietly left, no longer daring to be involved in the current affair.

Only Director Qin lay unconscious on the ground.

Seeing Fang Ze manage to drive away Xun Yi and scare off other chiefs and commissioners with just a few words, Bai Zhi couldn't help but turn away from the others and quietly gave Fang Ze a thumbs up.

She had long found these people disagreeable, as they all hypocritically paid lip service behind her back, causing her quite a bit of grief over the past few years. She preferred the new recruits today. All of them were sincere and treated her with respect.

Fang Ze saw her thumbs up and winked at her with a smile.

Not knowing if it was because Fang Ze was too handsome or Bai Zhi thought of something, she couldn't help but blush and turned her face away.

Watching Bai Zhi's strange reaction, a question mark slowly appeared above Fang Ze's head: ?

What's wrong with this woman? Why is she acting abnormally?

While pondering Bai Zhi's unusual behavior, Fang Ze turned his gaze to the only person who had not left, Shen Yayun, who stood there not daring to move.

Although Fang Ze had long suspected that today's scene was orchestrated by Shen Yayun, he had no reason to act out since she had outwardly always supported him.

So, Fang Ze approached her with a feigned smile, patted Shen Yayun's shoulder, and asked "sincerely," "Officer Shen, are you alright?"

Upon seeing Fang Ze, Shen Yayun came back to her senses. She swallowed nervously, then forced a laugh and said, "I'm fine."

After speaking, she glanced at Fang Ze and then at Director Qin, still lying on the ground. Hesitating for a moment, she mustered the courage and ventured, "Director Qin doesn't seem to have any ill intentions, he..."
