Just as Ah Yuan was wandering around with a slightly melancholy expression, holding the little dragonfly, Master Er and Weng Hua finally finished negotiating with the investigators in Zhang Ziqiang's case and could go back to rest.
The task force consisted of a dozen or so veteran police officers, who were all very serious when questioning people about the case, making Mr. Er uneasy. But as soon as the work was finished, the task force leader stood up first, shook Mr. Er's hand, and said, "Thank you for cooperating with us for half a day. I noticed you didn't eat much at noon. Are you feeling alright? Do you want to go to the hospital?"
Master Er waved his hand: "No need. If you have any other questions, please feel free to ask."
The head of the task force said with a smile, "We have asked all the questions we needed to ask. We just want to ask you to make sure that the relevant witnesses appear in court during the public trial. This is a very serious case, and we hope you will take it seriously as well."
Master Er nodded deeply: "Definitely."
The task force leader looked at Chen Ke again: "It's also been hard on you, Captain Chen, for spending half the day with me. Well then, let's..."
Chen Ke handed over a note with his cell phone number on it: "Call me if you need anything."
He's always disliked trouble and is a loner; his cell phone is for non-official use and is generally inaccessible to the public.
But Chen Rou is right. One should not have the heart to harm others, but one should not be without the heart to guard against others. True old friends should still keep in touch. This is his old comrade-in-arms. Having his phone number is good so that he can notify him anytime if something happens.
The other person took the phone number, glanced at it, and laughed: "Our Captain Chen is finally willing to give me a way to contact him."
The cement steps were spotless. Uncle Er, with his elbow on Weng Hua's arm, led Weng Hua down the steps one by one into the courtyard. He was surprised by the size of the courtyard, as well as its quietness and solemnity. Moreover, he keenly noticed that Yue Zhongqi, who was usually joking and laughing, was now serious. He would stop and stand at attention to salute anyone who passed by.
Having struggled and struggled in the small quagmire of Hong Kong, he suddenly found himself in the capital, in the highest public security department. Moreover, after some research, I learned that this place was merely an office responsible for special campaigns against organized crime.
He silently followed Chen Ke and Yue Zhongqi outside. After they had hailed a taxi, he looked back and saw that Weng Hua, who was supporting him, was trembling even more than him. They exchanged a glance and gently shook their heads.
Weng Hua also whispered, "Master Er, now I understand why Miss wanted you to come."
Once they arrived at this place, would they still dare to engage in their petty infighting or show off their power? Master Er realized this as soon as he arrived. He couldn't, and he didn't dare. But Master Dong had such a fiery temper; he wasn't good at bowing his head or bending his back.
But their attitude is very important. If they still don't realize their mistakes and want to act like local tyrants, then if they sign an official document here to crack down on organized crime, all those so-called 100,000 gangsters in Hong Kong will be wiped out.
Once in the car, Uncle Er sincerely said to Chen Ke, "Captain Chen, thank you for accompanying us on this bright path."
Actually, there's still no conclusion regarding the Hong Kong issue.
Chen Ke will certainly try his best, but he doesn't know how things will ultimately turn out.
So he said, "Of course, our Hong Kong police will work hard, but the outcome depends on our joint efforts."
Sitting in the passenger seat, Yue Zhongqi remembered something: "Captain Chen, how's your dinner appointment going?"
Chen Ke said, "I called this morning. The secretary said that the old leader caught a cold last night. I was thinking of calling again after work to go and check on him."
Yue Zhongqi said, "Absolutely. I'll call in a bit. Don't be afraid of being rejected; good things come to those who wait."
I happened to be looking through my text messages when I saw one from Wang Meng, saying he wanted to invite me to dinner that night.
Yue Zhongqi frowned, looking troubled. "I have a dinner engagement. I promise I won't make any mistakes. Can you let me go?"
With the two of them here, there are people watching and finding fault with them, so they don't dare to go out unless necessary.
Chen Ke roughly knew that Yue Zhongqi owed someone a favor because he had used someone else's car yesterday, and this was his way of repaying that favor.
He said, "Is it that guy named Wang Meng? We don't know anything about him, so you should decline."
Yue Zhongqi said, "It is precisely because I do not know his background that I thought of finding out which leader his brother-in-law is. If we can find out, we can take targeted precautions."
Wang Meng joined the army back then just to gain seniority.
While others smoked cigarettes that cost two cents a pack, he smoked the worst brands, Yuxi and Suyuan, and he would give away Huazi cigarettes at will.
Those who have a good relationship with him, help him with tasks, and achieve immediate results can get promoted, which proves that he does have someone behind him.
But he was also very clever, keeping a tight rein on things and protecting the people behind him very well.
Chen Ke's attitude toward that kind of person was to seize any opportunity to find fault with him, arrest him, investigate him, and interrogate him.
But Yue Zhongqi felt that doing that was too risky. Instead, it would be easier to find out privately and things would be easier to handle.
Of course, this is the capital city, and there are local bullies here.
Even though Yue Zhongqi is from the capital and his father served in the military, he is just an ordinary person, not a big shot.
He wanted to investigate Wang Meng's background, but he also had to be careful, because if he accidentally revealed something, his family would be bullied.
Thinking of this, he said to Chen Ke, "Just let me go. I promise I won't drink or say anything inappropriate."
Chen Ke finally agreed, but took out several hundred-yuan bills: "This is the fare for yesterday's bus ticket, give it back to him."
Yue Zhongqi accepted the money, but said, "They can't possibly accept it, but I'll use this money to pay the bill."
He got off the bus halfway and left. Chen Ke dropped Er Ye and Weng Hua off at the hotel entrance, paid the fare, and immediately took out his phone. He dialed the number and asked, "A Rou, where are you and A Yuan?"
