Chapter 115 Retribution
◎Is there retribution in this world?◎
The beneficiary of the homicide?
Gong Dali heard what Zhao Xiangwan said and explained anxiously, "No, no, we didn't want to take advantage of Dazhuang. Who could have known that their family would be robbed and murdered? We have rules in our village about how to divide things."
Zhao Xiangwan asked: "What rules?"
Gong Dali was brought into a strange conversation atmosphere by her. Zhao Xiangwan always seemed to have a way to make him anxious and make him explain. No matter how he expressed it, she always had a way to stir his emotions and make him fall into the cage she set unknowingly.
Gong Dali said: "There was a meeting in the village. At that time we were a production team. The land was collectively owned, but the house, furniture, chickens and ducks were all owned by the members. Gong Dazhuang's family died, and he had no brothers, so the three brothers, Dashan, Dahe and I, divided those things."
Zhao Xiangwan looked at him and said, "Is the house yours now?"
Gong Dali nodded and said, "My family is large and we live close to his family, so I took the house and furniture. The rest was taken by the mountains and rivers."
Zhao Xiangwan asked: "What if Gong Yong is still alive?"
Gong Dali's pupils shrank again.
[Alive? Of course I know he's alive! Isn't the child that Officer Luo carried out Yong? He's only six years old and doesn't know shit. His uncle rushed out and said he was his child, so isn't that perfect? Let his uncle take him away, and all the things will belong to the village, right?]
Zhao Xiangwan had been a little confused before: the detectives had clearly found a survivor at the scene, so why didn't Gong Dali and the others say a word? So that's it!
The uncle must have rushed to the crime scene first. After confirming that his son was dead, he was afraid that the murderer would silence him, so he hugged Gong Yong, recognized him at the first moment, and quickly took him away.
The few people in the village who saw Gong Yong's face all became selectively blind and amnesiac. Gong Yong's parents were already dead, and his uncles had to spend money and effort to raise him, which was not worth the loss. If his uncle was willing to take him away, then he should go as soon as possible. As for whether it was Gong Yong or Zhu Kang who died, did it matter? It didn't matter.
Cold-blooded, ruthless, and heartless.
This is Zhao Xiangwan's evaluation of Gong Dali.
Only a father like this can raise a son like Gong Sixi!
Gong Dali forced a smile and said, "Police comrade, what are you talking about? Isn't this a tragic case that wiped out the whole family? How could Gong Yong be alive?"
Zhao Xiangwan raised his hand and slowly pointed at Zhu Kang: "Open your eyes and take a good look. Doesn't he look a lot like Gong Dazhuang?"
Gong Dali was forced to look at Zhu Kang.
The same lean figure, the same narrow cheeks, the same thick black hair, the same bright eyes. At first glance, he is a man who is thin but energetic, strong and capable.
The young man in front of me really looks like Gong Dazhuang.
Back then, it was this Gong Dazhuang who, with his ability, care for his family and thriftiness, built the first blue-tiled house with two entrances and six rooms in the village, making the villagers envious.
Gong Dali's lips trembled a little: "Yong, Yong boy?"
When this familiar name, the hometown accent deeply engraved in his memory, rang out in the conference room, Zhu Kang's eyes suddenly turned red. He didn't know whether he should agree or scold.
The man in front of him was his closest cousin besides his uncle. However, he was also the father of his enemy who had wiped out his entire family!
Zhu Kang turned away and did not respond.
But Gong Dali knew very well that the young man in front of him was his cousin Gong Yong.
What is he here for?
【Seeking revenge? 】
【Si Xi returned home from Xiao Wan Village three days later and had nightmares for several days in a row. I knew it was him who did it.】
【What a sin...】
Hearing what Gong Dali was thinking, Zhao Xiangwan became extremely angry, with a chill in his voice.
"Are you really willing to come back?"
"If he comes back, how can we return the old house to him?"
"What about all the property in his parents' name?"
The more Zhao Xiangwan spoke, the more nervous Gong Dali became, until she finally opened the fear hidden in his heart: "Where is the murderer? Where did you hide Gong Sixi?!"
Gong Dali stood up suddenly, and the chair he was sitting on fell to the ground due to his violent movement, making a loud noise. However, he didn't care about that at all, and shouted loudly: "Who said that Si Xi killed him? Don't slander me!"
Zhao Xiangwan sneered: "Gong Dali, don't fight anymore, Lu Fuqiang has been brought to justice, he has confessed everything!"
Hearing the words "Lu Fuqiang confessed", Gong Dali was struck by lightning. He stood there for a moment, trembling as he placed his hands on the table to support his weakened legs. "Nonsense, all nonsense."
Zhao Xiangwan looked at him, a cold light flashing in his eyes: "Where is Gong Sixi? Tell me!"
Gong Dali kept shaking his head: "I don't know, I don't know, I don't know..."
[She can't know this.]
[Quickly notify Youlin and have him arrest these people.]
[We must not let them investigate further! ]
[Youlin, Youlin, why did you want to kill someone? Studying in a police academy, becoming a police officer, becoming a high-ranking official, what a good thing, why did you... Alas! ]
Zhao Xiangwan stood up suddenly.
Gong Youlin, Director Gong, is actually Gong Sixi!
Zhao Xiangwan put his hands on the table and faced Gong Dali directly, his eyes slightly narrowed, with a flash of sword and knife in them.
"Gong Sixi didn't leave Luo County, did he?"
"Very good! He changed his name, didn't he?"
"Has he changed his last name?"
"It seems that he hasn't forgotten his roots and hasn't abandoned his ancestors, right?"
"It turns out that his surname is still Gong and he has not left Luo County."
Gong Dali didn't say a word. He didn't know why Zhao Xiangwan's eyes were like a flashlight, illuminating the most secret corners of his heart. This feeling was too terrible. He was so scared that his legs began to tremble. He could only say, "No, no, no, no!"
In the office, everyone's eyes were focused on Zhao Xiangwan and Gong Dali.
The atmosphere was so tense that no one dared to breathe loudly.
Li Mingyang sat there blankly, watching the little policewoman who was smiling and talking last night, and suddenly her words were as sharp as knives and her steps were pressing, and he was taken away by it. Is this an interrogation? I have never seen such a terrifying scene during the interrogation, right?
Zhao Xiangwan said in a stern voice: "A 16-year-old murderer has been protected by his parents and relatives until now, and he still has the courage to stay in Luo County. He has lost all conscience! The whole family must be punished by God! If God is blind, then let the law speak!"
Her eyes turned from ice to fire, spewing out scorching flames that burned Gong Dali's soul. He could no longer support the weight of his body, his knees went weak, and he fell to the ground.
He held the edge of the table with one hand and propped the other on the ground, tears streaming down his face, "I'm scared, too! When Dazhuang was little, he always followed me around, calling me Dalige and asking me to take him to catch loaches and frogs. I'm ten years older than him, and I watched him grow up. On the day he was killed, I followed him into the house, and the whole room was covered in blood. I was really scared."
Zhao Xiangwan showed no sympathy at all and shouted, "Tell me! Where is Gong Sixi?"
Gong Dali shook his head desperately, two lines of snot splashed onto his face, and looked at Langxi pitifully: "I don't know, I don't know, he grew up, left, and is not at home!"
Zhao Xiangwan looked down at him, staring coldly into his eyes: "No, you know. You think he has a conscience, right? He hasn't forgotten his ancestral name, and gives you money and gifts during festivals. How glorious!"
Hearing this, Li Mingyang, who was sitting next to him, suddenly widened his eyes and an incredible thought flashed through his mind.
[Oh my god, the person she is talking about can't be us, right? ]
【Local, very similar to Gong Dali. 】
[I often see Gong Dali and his son visiting the director.]
Zhao Xiangwan suddenly turned his head and looked at Li Mingyang.
When he met those beautiful eyes, Li Mingyang realized how much psychological pressure Gong Dali was under. The eyes of this policewoman were filled with wind, snow, thunder and lightning!
No matter who you are, no matter what secrets you have in your heart, you can't hide it under such a gaze.
Zhao Xiangwan suddenly curled his lips and said, "Officer Li, do you have an answer in your mind?"
Li Mingyang couldn't bear it, and hurriedly shook his hands: "No, no, no, I don't know." Oh my god, it's terrible! Li Mingyang felt very guilty when she looked at him and asked him this question.
Zhao Xiangwan continued to look at Gong Dali: "It seems that your son is really very successful. He stepped over six corpses, walked out of the sea of blood and corpses, and walked on Yangguan Avenue. He didn't even look back. Are there bloody footprints behind him? Are they ghosts who are asking for his life?"
Gong Dali was frightened out of his wits by Zhao Xiangwan's words, and his psychological defenses completely collapsed.
"Da Zhuang, Da Zhuang, I burn incense for you every year, I go to your grave every year, please don't hurt me anymore, don't hurt my son anymore. He already knows he was wrong, he really knows he was wrong, so he applied to the police academy and became a policeman. He caught a lot of bad guys, he made contributions, he became a leader..."
Zhao Xiangwan: "Policeman? His surname is Gong? In Luo County? A leader? Is that right..."
Gong's mother desperately pulled Gong Dali up, trembling as she pinched his nose: "Shut up, shut up! You shut up! Don't say anything, don't say anything, go back and call Si'er, don't say anything!"
Zhao Xiangwan: "What call are you making? I'll help you make the call!"
Finally, she called the Xing City Public Security Bureau in front of Gong's father and mother: "Director Xu? It's me. Please send someone to the Four Seasons Hotel to invite Gong Youlin and his gang back to the Serious Crime Unit for tea."
Her eyes were like lightning, staring closely into Gong Dali's eyes, and she spoke word by word, "Yes! He is Gong Sixi."
Gong Dali screamed miserably: "No! You are talking nonsense——"
“Click!”
The call was disconnected.
Gong Dali rushed over like a madman: "No, no, Youlin is not Sixi, no!"
Zhu Kang grabbed his hands, twisted them behind his back with deft movements, and handcuffed them: "Behave yourself!"
Li Yangming was dazzled and didn't know where he was. Ah, are the criminal police in the serious crime team so efficient? Their speed is like riding a rocket. They were still asking questions in the last second, and they started arresting people in the next second.
[Director Gong Youlin was arrested just like that? ]
【Why so fast? 】
[How many people visited, but none of them had the umbrella toppled over. Did it just fall over like this? ]
Li Yangming wanted to call Pan Lei right away and ask him to light firecrackers to celebrate. However, he still felt like he was in a dream, and it seemed that everything he saw was not real.
Zhao Xiangwan glanced at him again: "Officer Li, is there anyone from Director Pan in the police station?"
Li Yangming nodded: "Yes!"
Zhao Xiangwan said, "Let them come in and help me watch these two people. I still have to review the next one."
Next?
Oh, Li Mingyang's brain finally began to return to normal: "Oh, good!"
He stood up and opened the door of the conference room. Zhao Xiangwan's voice rang out behind him: "After today, things will change in your police station. You and Director Pan have a chance, so you must seize it."
Li Mingyang's IQ went up, and he responded excitedly: "Yes, yes, yes!"
Li Mingyang ran away, thinking as he ran, as long as the person was caught, the murder case would definitely be followed by a corruption case, and the world of our bus station police station would really change. We must seize the time and be on guard against Chief Lu, be careful, be careful, and don't let the news leak out.
Zhao Xiangwan looked at his running back and smiled. Very good, as long as he could use his subjective initiative, he could buy time.
Li Mingyang brought in two policemen, one to guard Gong's father and mother, and one to guard the door of the conference room. He then went to the reception room and brought Lu Shangwu's mother, Sun Youmin, into the conference room.
Sun Youmin is a sixty-year-old rural woman with gray hair and wrinkled face, but her back is straight and she walks steadily. She wears a blue cloth gown that she made herself and is neat and tidy.
As soon as he entered the conference room, the door behind him was tightly closed. A policeman was standing at the door guarding it. When he saw Gong's father and mother being held aside, Sun Youmin's nerves suddenly tensed up.
What do the police want to do?
[Isn't this Lin's territory? How dare they go against Gong?]
[Could it be that...something happened? ]
Sun Youmin sat down nervously and looked at Li Yangming who brought him in: "Officer Li, what's going on? Is this a three-court trial? Why are you making such a big fuss? Are you going to deal with an old woman like me?"
Li Yangming turned his head and looked at Zhao Xiangwan.
Zhao Xiangwan was very polite: "Please take a seat. I have an old matter that I want to ask you about."
Hearing that she was speaking the Luoxian dialect, Sun Youmin narrowed his eyes and looked at Zhao Xiangwan, who looked a little unfamiliar. He asked in confusion, "Are you a new police officer? Why haven't I seen you before? Didn't your chief tell us that we should respect the elders of Sancunwan?"
Zhao Xiangwan asked in return: "Respect? Should we also respect those elderly people who shielded their sons from committing crimes?"
When Sun Youmin heard this, she felt that this attitude was not right. She refused to sit down and just stood there, waving her right hand and said rudely: "You little policeman are very disrespectful. I want to see your Chief Gong!"
Zhao Xiangwan sat at the table, put his right hand on the table, and nodded gently: "Director Gong is now drinking tea at the Municipal Public Security Bureau."
Sun Youmin rolled his eyes and asked, "What do you mean?"
[Caught? What happened? Hui Hui never mentioned it. 】
Hearing what she was thinking, Zhao Xiangwan suddenly had an incredible thought in his mind: Huihui? Lu Hui? Who is he to Sun Youmin? Why did he call him so affectionately? Could it be...
That’s not right. Lu Shangwu moved out of his hometown in 1977 for recruitment reasons. There is no reason for him to become the director of Luo County Public Security Bureau.
Zhao Xiangwan looked at the tough old woman in front of him and said, "That's what you think."
Sun Youmin was shocked and slammed his hand on the table: "What the hell are you doing? Why didn't you report such a big thing to the police?"
Seeing the old lady's behavior, Zhao Xiangwan found it extremely ridiculous: "Who is she reporting to? Director Lu Hui?" She has been living a life of luxury as an old lady for so long that she has completely forgotten that she was once a poor farmer, right?
Sun Youmin said as if it was a matter of course: "Of course! The police station is under the jurisdiction of the county public security bureau. Where are you from? Which city did you take Chief Gong to? Why didn't you report such a big thing to the county public security bureau?"
[What the hell is Huihui doing? Is he too good-tempered now? His subordinates actually dared to rebel! ]
[I'll just bear with it for now, and let him catch the man when I get back.]
Zhao Xiangwan slammed the table and stood up suddenly: "Who is Lu Hui?"
Sun Youmin was frightened by her momentum and subconsciously shrank his neck: "You, what are you doing?"
Zhao Xiangwan's eyes were sharp: "Let me ask you, who is Lu Hui?"
It seemed as if there was a net covering Sun Youmin's head, but she was completely unaware of it.
Sun Youmin was still stubborn: "He is the director of our Luo County Public Security Bureau. Don't be so arrogant. If you dare to be so arrogant in our Luo County, you will definitely suffer the consequences!"
Zhao Xiangwan raised his lips slightly: "Am I arrogant?"
Sun Youmin glared at him and said, "You dare to skip Chief Gong and come to our Sancunwan to arrest people. That's arrogant!"
Zhao Xiangwan: "I arrested someone, so what?"
Sun Youmin: "Do you believe that if I make a phone call, Director Lu will send the police to take you away?"
Zhao Xiangwan: “Really?”
Sun Youmin frowned and said, "You are a young man, you really don't know your place!"
Zhao Xiangwan suddenly narrowed his eyes and asked, "Why should Director Lu listen to you?"
Sun Youmin rolled his eyes and said, "He respects the elderly."
Zhao Xiangwan suddenly laughed: "I see, he is your biological son, right?"
Sun Youmin only then remembered his son's instructions and his breath stopped: "Nonsense!"
Zhao Xiangwan's laughter suddenly stopped, and his whole body became as cold as iron, with his back straight, like a silver spear that had just been tempered by fire, pointing directly at the vital point.
"Where is your second son, Lu Shangwu?"
When Zhu Kang heard this, he was completely stunned.
How could that be?
How is that possible?
The murderer who killed his family of six, Lu Fuqiang, huddled in a knife shop, trembling in fear, and never slept well for a day. But the other two murderers are still at large.
What’s even more terrifying is that they actually became police officers and held high positions!
Twenty years have passed. How come Gong Sixi and Lu Shangwu, two men with blood on their hands, have no remorse or fear at all? Not only did they become policemen, but one became the chief of the police station and the other became the chief of the Public Security Bureau. They colluded with each other and caused harm to everyone.
They held up a protective umbrella for Sam Tsuen Wan, tolerated the rampant prostitution, gambling and drugs, and turned Sam Tsuen Wan into a den for trafficking women!
If an old case had not been uncovered, how long would they have been able to get away with it? !
It’s terrifying to think about it.
Seeing that she couldn't leave, Sun Youmin was tired of standing, so she dragged a chair over and sat down. Although she was panicking inside, she remained calm on the surface: "Shangwu? He was recruited to work in the factory in 1977, and then he was transferred here and there. I don't know where he went."
Zhao Xiangwan stared at him closely. "In 1977, workers were recruited and relocated from their hometown? Which factory?"
Sun Youmin said: "I worked as a clamp apprentice for two years in a machinery factory in the county seat. After I graduated, I followed my colleagues to work in the south. I have been gone for so many years and there is no news at all."
Zhao Xiangwan pressed on: "There has been no news, why didn't you report him missing? Just like Lu Fuqiang's family, he was missing for many years, declared dead, and his household registration was cancelled!"
Sun Youmin's face turned pale. "Nonsense, my Shangwu is different from Lu Fuqiang. He, he sometimes contacts me."
Zhao Xiangwan sneered: "How do I contact you? Write a letter, or call, or come to your house in person and pick you up to stay for a while?"
Sun Youmin turned away, refusing to meet Zhao Xiangwan's eyes: "What do you care about me? Anyway, my Shangwu is still alive, and I will not report his death."
Zhao Xiangwan turned around and looked at Li Mingyang: "Do you have Director Lu Hui's resume?"
Li Mingyang was a little nervous and didn't know how to answer for a moment.
[What does that mean? What does she want Director Lu's resume for? ]
Zhao Xiangwan looked at him calmly: "Think about it carefully, this is a great opportunity. If you miss this opportunity, you will never get it again. Since Gong Suo has been arrested, why are you still hesitating? If we miss this opportunity, we will all be in a passive position."
When Li Mingyang heard this, he immediately stood up and said, "I'll make a call. Director Pan must have it."
Zhao Xiangwan nodded and pointed to the red phone placed in the corner of the conference room: "Call."
Li Mingyang has also reacted now.
Zhao Xiangwan and his group came here with the purpose of overthrowing Gong Suo and Lu Ju.
Li Gong and Lu from the County Public Security Bureau teamed up to manage the whole bureau like an iron barrel, and no one dared to go against them. In the past, some comrades were not used to their one-handed control, and as a result, they were either transferred away or privately dealt with by the gang of hooligans in Sancun Bay, and suffered terribly.
Just now, Zhao Xiangwan and his men used an old case as an excuse to uncover Gong's background and quickly sent comrades from the Xing City Public Security Bureau to detain him.
Now, Zhao Xiangwan is going to declare war on Director Lu again!
The more Li Mingyang thought about it, the more excited he became. His mind was racing. He rushed to the phone and started calling Pan Lei.
“Beep…beep…beep.”
The call was connected, and Pan Lei's voice came from the other end: "Hello?"
Although Li Mingyang lowered his voice, he could not hide his excitement: "Director Pan, I'm Li Mingyang. Do you have Director Lu's resume?"
Pan Lei asked: "What do you want to do?"
Li Mingyang glanced at Zhao Xiangwan, who reached out to take the phone: "Hello, Director Pan, I'm Zhao Xiangwan."
Pan Lei immediately became enthusiastic: "Hello, Officer Zhao, what can I do for you?"
Zhao Xiangwan asked, "Is there anyone with you?"
Pan Lei was stunned for half a second: "Wait a moment."
After a while, Pan Lei's voice came through the microphone again: "Okay, I've closed the door. Officer Zhao, if you have anything to say, just tell me."
Zhao Xiangwan said: "Gong Youlin is in Xing City and has been invited by the Municipal Public Security Bureau for tea."
"What?!"
There was a "bang" sound, probably Pan Lei's chair was knocked over, or he hit something.
When Pan Lei calmed down, Zhao Xiangwan briefly explained: "Gong Youlin was suspected of a family murder case 20 years ago and has been taken away. I heard that he had a good personal relationship with Director Lu Hui. I want to investigate Lu Hui now. Is Lu Hui in the bureau now?"
Pan Lei didn't even dare to breathe: "Yes, yes, he's here."
Zhao Xiangwan asked: "Are you afraid?"
Pan Lei's voice was trembling: "You guys, can you do it? There are only four of you, not enough manpower?"
Zhao Xiangwan went straight to the point: "This is an opportunity for promotion, do you want to seize it?"
Pan Lei asked: "How do we catch them?"
Zhao Xiangwan said, "Send me his resume first. Once I get the evidence, we can work together! We have to do this quickly."
Pan Lei had the courage to confront Gong Youlin, but to confront the director? Pan Lei hesitated.
Zhao Xiangwan chuckled: "We took action against Gong Youlin with the official letter you issued and the one we were looking for was Li Yangming. You are now our comrade in the same trench. Apart from fighting side by side, there is no way out. If you back down this time, you will have to wait for Director Lu's revenge."
Pan Lei began to sweat on his back: "Officer Zhao, you are harming me!"
Zhao Xiangwan smiled, his voice full of majesty: "If you want something, you have to pay something. You want to be promoted, but you don't want to take any risks. How is that possible?"
Pan Lei hesitated: "In our county public security bureau, Director Lu is the top leader, responsible for public security, economic investigation, traffic police, special police... I am only the director of the political work office, assisting the director in taking charge of the political work office, the labor union, the auxiliary police office, the anti-terrorism brigade, the intelligence center, as well as the police foundation, the women's federation, and the aging office..."
He talked a lot, but not a single word was on point.
Zhao Xiangwan's attitude turned cold and hard: "Director Pan, don't blame me for not informing you in advance. If you don't get involved, and I transfer personnel from the provincial department to start a comprehensive rectification with the discipline inspection commission, and it hurts you, then I will have no way to deal with it."
Pan Lei was a little dizzy: "Transferring personnel from the provincial government? You, do you have the ability to do that?"
Zhao Xiangwan suddenly laughed: "I'm afraid you don't know yet, the corruption case of Provincial Department Director Wu Jianshe was investigated by our Serious Case Team, right?"
Pan Lei was so moved by Zhao Xiangwan's words that sweat broke out on his forehead. He said tremblingly, "Zhao, Officer Zhao, what do you want me to do?"
Zhao Xiangwan said, "Give me Director Lu's resume right now."
Pan Lei was completely conquered by Zhao Xiangwan and said obediently, "Wait a moment, I'll get it right away."
Zhao Xiangwan said, "Send someone you trust to go there in person and deliver the resume."
Pan Lei did not hesitate this time: "Yes!"
After hanging up the phone, everyone in the conference room stared at Zhao Xiangwan.
Gong Dali suddenly stood up like a madman and started yelling, "Someone come, someone come, the police killed someone..."
Without waiting for Zhao Xiangwan's orders, Zhu Kang stood up suddenly and chopped Gong Dali on the back of the neck with his knife.
Gong Dali fell down softly, but Zhu Kang held him up and put him back into the chair.
Zhu Kang's eyes were flashing with anger. He glanced at Gong's mother and Sun Youmin and said in a deep voice, "Don't make a fuss, don't quarrel, talk nicely!"
Gong's mother didn't expect the police would take direct action. Looking at Zhu Kang's face that looked very similar to Gong Dazhuang, she shuddered with fear and kept muttering "Amitabha" while her heart was pounding.
【Retribution, retribution.】
[I took advantage of his family back then, and now it seems I have to pay it back.]
[My dear, we are living such a good life now. Why do you have to do such a heinous thing?]
Sun Youmin held his breath and shouted, "I want to go out. You can't force me to stay here."
Seeing that she was not behaving honestly, Zhao Xiangwan winked at Zhou Rulan.
Zhou Rulan walked behind Sun Youmin and used her right hand to push her back to her seat. "This is an old case from 20 years ago. We need your cooperation in the investigation. Please take a seat."
After a while, someone knocked on the door and brought in a file bag.
The bag contained Director Lu Hui's resume.
Zhao Xiangwan opened it and quickly scanned it, then put the thin piece of paper back on the table, his eyes full of mockery.
"Sun Youmin, did you see clearly? Lu Hui, formerly known as Lu Shangwu."
"He's even braver than Gong Sixi!"
"My original name is Lu Shangwu. I was born in 1959. My father is Lu Guowei and my mother is Sun Youmin."
"In 1977, he entered the machinery factory in the county seat, moved out of his hometown, and changed his name to Lu Hui."
"Married in 1982."
"I entered the Party School in 1983."
"In 1985, I was transferred to work at the County Public Security Bureau."
"His father-in-law is the former director of the county public security bureau."
Zhao Xiangwan closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, he was filled with both sadness and joy.
She looked at the skinny old woman in front of her calmly: "If you want to enter the system, you must undergo the organization's examination. He is married, and his father-in-law was once the director of the Public Security Bureau. He dare not falsify files. Therefore, every stage and every process of Lu Hui's life are recorded in the book. You can't hide from it."
When Sun Youmin heard her words, his face turned pale and he stared at Zhao Xiangwan blankly: "You, what on earth do you want to do? My son is a leader. It's not easy for him to get to where he is now. We don't want to hold him back. What grudges do you have? Just come to me, okay? I beg you, my son is a very, very good person. He takes his work very seriously. He is really good."
Zhao Xiangwan shook his head: "Twenty years ago, Gong Dazhuang was murdered and all six members of his family were killed. This crime was committed by Lu Shangwu, Gong Sixi and Lu Fuqiang. God let them get away with it for twenty years, and they have been blinded. Today, they should pay their debts."
After Sun Youmin came in, he kept wondering if an old case from 20 years ago had been exposed, and he was worried and afraid.
Now that Zhao Xiangwan had exposed the matter directly, she finally realized that something was wrong. She stood up from her chair and tried to rush out the door, but was stopped by Zhou Rulan.
Sun Youmin started to scream like crazy: "Let me go! Let me go! I want to see my son. My son is the director of the Public Security Bureau! You can't treat an old man like this. I have a heart disease."
[No, this matter must not be known to anyone else.]
[I'm going to go out and tell Hui Hui to make preparations early.]
【If we just keep them quiet, no one will know about this. 】
Zhu Kang could no longer suppress the anger in his heart. He stood up suddenly and pointed at the three elderly people in front of him: "You! You! You! You! It is your sheltering and your shamelessness that have raised such a murderer! Your lives are lives, and your future is your future! Then what about my grandfather, my grandmother? My father and my mother? My nine-year-old sister? My six-year-old cousin? Six lives, six lives died in front of you, and you don't even have the slightest remorse! You will be punished!"
Retribution?
The three old men sat in their chairs blankly, not saying a word for a long time.
There is retribution in this world, right?
If there was no retribution, why would Gong Dazhuang's son become a policeman and bring so many people here to seek justice?
If there is no retribution, why would anyone still remember an old case from twenty years ago?
If there was no retribution, why would Li Yangming from the police station and Pan Lei from the Public Security Bureau listen to Zhao Xiangwan's arrangements?
Zhao Xiangwan picked up the phone and spoke to Pan Lei again.
"Yes, Director Lu was one of the main culprits in the tragic case that wiped out the whole family 20 years ago."
"Neither Lu Hui nor Gong Youlin can escape."
"You stabilize Director Lu first, we will be right over."
After hanging up the phone, Zhao Xiangwan said to Zhu Kang: "Let's go! Go arrest him."
Zhu Kang's scalp tingled: "Go directly to the Public Security Bureau and arrest the director? What if he resists?" After all, it's his territory. What if he gets desperate and does something stupid?
Zhao Xiangwan stood up and looked at Li Yangming: "Officer Li, please send a car to take these three elderly people to the Xing City Public Security Bureau immediately. Tell the outside world that Gong invited them to enjoy life in the big city. Do not let them contact anyone. Tomorrow morning, the provincial government will send people down to comprehensively rectify Sancunwan. If any news leaks out, you will be held responsible!"
Li Yangming had already sensed the storm was coming and knew that this would be the biggest change in Luo County in the past decade. There would definitely be huge changes from top to bottom.
He felt a faint sense of pleasure in his heart. He stared at the three old men fiercely, gritted his teeth and said secretly: Let you be arrogant! Let you old guys from Sancunwan look down on others! Now the law of nature has come, retribution has come, right?
Li Yangming stood still, straightened his chest, and said loudly: "Yes!"
Zhao Xiangwan walked out of the police station with Zhu Kang, Zhou Rulan, and Ji Zhao in a swift and fierce manner. Looking at the time, it was exactly 10:30 in the morning. After getting in the car, Zhao Xiangwan instructed Zhu Kang: "Go to the County Public Security Bureau."
Zhu Kang asked as he drove: "Are we really going to arrest Director Lu? Can we really bring him out safely?"
Zhao Xiangwan smiled and said, "You don't believe me?"
Zhu Kang drove the car very fast and said excitedly: "Believe! Of course I believe you!"
Zhou Rulan was a little worried: "Take the director away from the Public Security Bureau? We don't have an arrest warrant, a subpoena, or anything. Would this be against the rules?"
Zhu Kang stared ahead, clenching his teeth. "If there is any violation, you can just put all the blame on me! I'll take the brunt of the punishment. Damn it, this bastard has too many hidden possessions, and he's the director of the Public Security Bureau. If we don't act quickly, I'm afraid he'll remove the evidence, or even flee abroad, and then we'll be in trouble."
To catch, or not to catch?
This is a problem.
Zhao Xiangwan said: "When a general is away from home, he may not obey military orders. This time we are out here to capture Gong Sixi and Lu Shangwu. Now that we have found them, we can just arrest them directly."
Zhu Kang nodded repeatedly: "Yes, catch! But...how to catch him?" Although the three of them were equipped with guns on this trip, they couldn't just rob people at gunpoint, right?
How to catch?
This is another problem.
Zhao Xiangwan said to Zhou Rulan, "Can I borrow your name for you?"
Zhou Rulan didn't know what Zhao Xiangwan was up to, but she was completely convinced by his performance just now: "What kind of reputation do I have? As long as it's useful to you, just lend it to me."
Zhao Xiangwan said: "Your mother is Miao Hui, a provincial government official."
Zhou Rulan laughed dumbly: "My mother is the director of the Criminal Investigation Technology Center, a department-level cadre, and the head of the provincial department, Wang Qingquan. I call him uncle. If this is useful, you can use it."
Zhao Xiangwan nodded: "Lu Hui relied on his father-in-law's connections to get to this position, and it is difficult for him to move forward. I'm afraid he has long forgotten the old case from 20 years ago. If he wants to move up a level, he must curry favor with you. We will go find her later, and you will follow my instructions."
Zhou Rulan pursed her lips: "Okay!"
It took only seven or eight minutes to drive from the bus station police station to the Luo County Public Security Bureau. Zhu Kang parked the car at the door and said to Zhao Xiangwan, "You guys go up and bring him down directly?"
Zhao Xiangwan nodded: "Ji Zhao, you sit in the front. Rulan and I will take him to the back seat later."
After that, Zhao Xiangwan and Zhou Rulan got out of the car together and looked at each other.
Zhou Rulan's palms began to sweat.
Zhou Rulan was very nervous as it was her first time to carry out such a dangerous mission.
[I'm a little scared, my heart is beating fast. 】
Zhao Xiangwan was very calm: "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
Zhou Rulan swallowed and nervously touched the gun at her waist with her right hand.
Zhao Xiangwan shook his head: "Don't touch it."
Zhou Rulan quickly put down her hands, but found that she didn't know where to put her hands.
Zhao Xiangwan looked at her, his amber eyes flashing with a strange light: "Zhou Rulan, think about it, is Lu Hui more terrifying than Wu Jianshe?"
Zhou Rulan stared at Zhao Xiangwan in a daze.
Zhao Xiangwan continued, "Back then, you dared to stand in front of Wu Jianshe and confront him. Why are you so nervous now when meeting a small county director?"
It seemed as if a force was injected into her body, and Zhou Rulan suddenly calmed down.
She smiled slightly, and relaxed: "Xiang Wan, let's go."
Two equally tall women walked into the county public security bureau. After showing their credentials and explaining their purpose, Zhao Xiangwan and Zhou Rulan went up to the second floor smoothly and met Lu Hui, Director Lu.
Lu Hui is 36 years old this year, at the prime of his life. He just took up the position of director two years ago, and he can be said to be riding high on the crest of a wave.
Seeing the two beautiful detectives, Lu Hui smiled widely, walked out from behind his seat, stretched out his hands and shook hands with the two of them: "Welcome, welcome, welcome to the city police to guide our work."
He turned his head and looked at Pan Lei standing beside him, pretending to criticize: "Director Pan, did you not report to me because you saw that the people coming from the Municipal Bureau were beautiful women? I heard that you are in charge of the reception tomorrow. Have you invited them to dinner? Go and arrange it. We will host them at noon. You must communicate well with the beautiful police officers."
As soon as Pan Lei saw Zhao Xiangwan and Zhou Rulan coming in, his heart beat faster and faster, almost jumping out of his throat.
[Why did they come here like this? I'm going to die! ]
What should I do?
Seeing that Pan Lei didn't respond for a long time, Lu Hui glared at him and said, "Director Pan, are you stupid from looking at beautiful women?"
Pan Lei came back to his senses: "Oh, okay! I'll arrange it."
Zhao Xiangwan introduced Zhou Rulan to Lu Hui: "Director Lu, the police officer Zhou I brought with me this time is no ordinary person. Her mother, Miao Hui, is a provincial minister..."
Lu Hui looked at Zhou Rulan in surprise: "Director Miao? I know, I know! The last time we organized leaders from the public security bureaus of various counties and cities to visit the Criminal Investigation Technology Center at the Provincial Department, it was Director Miao who received them. Oh, I didn't expect Director Miao's daughter to be a criminal police officer. She is really a heroine."
Zhao Xiangwan said, "Director Lu, we are really sorry to bother you with our visit this time."
Lu Hui waved his hands quickly: "You're welcome, it's my duty."
Zhou Rulan was reserved: "Before coming here, I also reported to Director Wang. Uncle Wang originally said he wanted to call you, but I thought it was too formal, so I didn't let him call."
When Lu Hui heard this, he was surprised. Wang Qingquan is the current director of the Provincial Public Security Department. Zhou Rulan must be a very powerful person!
He originally rose to the top through nepotism, was very good at pleasing women, and was warm and considerate. He couldn't wait to set up the wine table and get close to the person in front of him.
After a few more pleasantries and a brief explanation of the case, Lu Hui was too lazy to listen and was only thinking about how to please Zhou Rulan.
[I never thought that this police officer from the city would have such a deep background! Let me think about how to get in touch with her.]
[Women definitely like gold jewelry. I still have a few gold jewelry in my drawer that they brought back from Hong Kong. I haven't opened them yet, so I'll give them to her.]
Zhao Xiangwan saw that the bait was almost ready, so he said, "I wonder if there are any fun places in Luo County? Can you take us around?"
