Once, I wanted to be a good person-Chapter 308 - 62. Passed the review! Impressed everyone! (12k votes for monthly ticket!)
Thinking this, Fang Ze’s mind raced, pondering how to smoothly handle the situation.
Saying that the Director in charge of this case has sweaty hands, which dampened the ink... would that be too much?
Or perhaps, claim that the weather today is too humid?
If all else fails, simply play dumb and complain about the poor quality of the ink and let them take it up with the General Affairs Department...?
While Fang Ze was lost in thought devising strategies, something unexpected happened.
Yun Su, who had been very serious and not given to jest throughout, just looked at him deeply and then gently rubbed his hands together, removing the ink, before saying, "Commissioner Fang Ze."
"I have reviewed the report and evidence regarding the Hua Jian Department Chief case."
"There is no problem."
"Next, please discuss the progress of the Shadow Organization case."
Fang Ze was taken aback for a moment.
However, before he could react, Xun Yi, who had been sitting next to Yun Su, sharply sensed something amiss.
She glanced at Yun Su’s hands and then at the report before saying involuntarily, "Director Yun, may I have a look at that report?"
Yun Su looked at her and said indifferently, "Xun Yi, do not interfere with my review."
"The procedure does not include an option for observers to review evidence."
"If you are interested, you may apply to consult the documents afterward."
Hearing Yun Su’s words and remembering his always upright character, Xun Yi sat silently, no longer speaking.
Seeing she had no objections, Yun Su looked at Fang Ze and, tapping the documents lightly, repeated his earlier words, "Commissioner Fang Ze, next, please discuss the progress of the Shadow Organization case."
Hearing Yun Su’s question and having witnessed how he had just covered for him, to be honest, Fang Ze found it somewhat unbelievable.
His mind raced, pondering why Yun Su had decided to support him and conceal the truth.
Wasn’t Yun Su supposed to be completely neutral?
After a moment...
Fang Ze had a guess.
He thought that Yun Su wasn’t really on his side but had taken a relatively fair stance.
The evidence that Fang Ze had provided was all real, the logic was sound, and the results of the investigation were reasonable.
Although many parts were added afterward, including processes and reports, there were no significant issues overall.
Even with some minor flaws, due to the short time frame for solving the case, it was understandable.
In this situation, Yun Su really only had two choices.
One, help Fang Ze cover up the flaws. Pretend not to see them.
Two, cling to the procedural flaws and continue questioning.
The former was a peacemaking approach that would allow the case and review to conclude quickly.
The latter would exacerbate the conflict, not only overturning the entire case but also providing the Commoner Faction with ammunition to attack Fang Ze.
Consequently, the aftermath could mean that all efforts Fang Ze had made initially would be in vain, with ongoing disputes between the Commoner and Noble Factions.
Everyone would focus solely on procedural justice while neglecting substantive justice.
Thus, briefly weighing the two options, Yun Su chose the lesser of two evils and picked the first.
Thinking this, Fang Ze began to feel considerable goodwill towards this Neutral Faction director.
It seemed that despite many years of constant struggle between the Commoner and Noble Factions, the Security Bureau remained powerful, likely due to the lubricating role of the Neutral Faction.
While thinking this, Fang Ze came back to his senses and began to talk to Yun Su about the case involving the Shadow Organization.
Because his mindset had shifted, Fang Ze’s attitude had improved noticeably.
He no longer played games but sincerely discussed the crimes of Qiu Yue, Kai Shi, Hua Jian, and the recently captured Director Qin.
He also had Nan Yi present the relevant evidence sequentially.
Seeing the recorded crimes of the four individuals and the evidence found, Yun Su became even more amiable towards Fang Ze.
Xun Yi, who was keenly perceptive of the mood, felt an ominous premonition.
She began to clasp her hands unconsciously, tightening them, and her expression also turned somewhat unpleasant.
Then, Yun Su asked Fang Ze again for the specific details of the case. After nodding, he fell silent but picked up several documents and evidence again to examine them meticulously.
After a while, he looked up and asked, "By the way, it seems there are no documents regarding Minister Qianfeng?"
Fang Ze, having prepared beforehand, nodded and explained, "Yes."
"Because Minister Qianfeng was arrested, the case was requested to be put on hold."

"After that, with the incident involving the Hua Jian Department Chief, we followed that lead."
"Then, it led us to Director Qin."
"And the line involving the Hua Jian Department Chief and Director Qin just ended yesterday."
"As for Minister Qianfeng, we simply haven’t had the chance to interrogate him yet."
Hearing Fang Ze’s explanation, Yun Su silently nodded.
After a moment, he turned to Xun Yi and Bai Zhi and inquired, "The two observing officers, do you have any comments or questions about this review?"
Bai Zhi, though somewhat naive, could see that the current situation was very favorable, so she quickly shook her head to indicate she had no objections.
But the Xun Yi sitting opposite her did not let the matter pass so easily. Expressionless, she said, "I request to view the reports and evidence provided by Fang Ze."
