Chapter 116 Desire
◎Lu Fuqiang wanted to crawl in front of Zhu Kang◎
When reporting the case just now, Zhao Xiangwan was careless and only mentioned an old case that needed assistance.
Lu Hui's entire attention was attracted by Zhou Rulan. No matter what Zhao Xiangwan said, he just hummed and hawed: Okay, okay, no problem, we will fully cooperate.
But now, when Zhao Xiangwan asked him where there were fun things to do in Luo County and hoped that he would take them out for a walk, he immediately became serious - was this a message or a gesture of goodwill?
Zhao Xiangwan has a warm and gentle attitude, with a hint of childishness between his eyebrows, as if he is a rookie detective who has finally arrived at a new place on a business trip and wants to enjoy the scenery.
Zhou Rulan stood proudly, pursed her lips and said nothing, looking just like a young lady just starting out in a wealthy family.
Such a beautiful and innocent woman made Lu Hui feel no guard at all.
At this moment, Lu Hui was only thinking about how to please Zhou Rulan, and quickly answered Zhao Xiangwan's words: "Yes, yes, yes, we have a Junzi River in Luo County. Recently, the county has carried out cross-strait projects, and the construction is very good. I will take you to have a look."
Zhao Xiangwan glanced at Zhou Rulan.
Zhou Rulan thought for a moment, frowned and said, "Okay. But we brought a driver with us."
Zhao Xiangwan looked at Lu Hui with a smile: "Director Lu, why don't we get in our car and take us there yourself."
Lu Hui hesitated for a moment.
[I get in their car?]
[This doesn't seem like a good idea. I can't just leave alone.]
Zhao Xiangwan's attitude turned cold, and she pulled Zhou Rulan's arm and walked out: "Come on, we'll go by ourselves!" As she walked out, she turned around and said to Pan Lei: "Director Pan, your Director Lu is arrogant, so you should accompany us."
Pan Lei scratched his head, bewildered. Meeting Zhao Xiangwan's gaze, he subconsciously replied, "Okay, I'll go with you..." Go, where? He was stuck.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Lu Hui hurriedly opened his drawer, took out two cloth bags and put them in his pocket, and pushed Pan Lei away: "Director Pan, go and arrange a place for the lunch gathering, leave this to me."
Seeing Zhou Rulan's coldness and coldness, and that she had already walked to the door, Lu Hui didn't even have time to make a phone call, so he could only tell Pan Lei: "You, quickly notify the receptionist there, and meet at Junzijiang Pier."
He hurried over to Zhou Rulan and said with a smile, "How dare I, Lu Hui, put on airs in front of Officer Zhou? I was just thinking about how to receive you two. Since you brought a car, that's perfect. I'll go for a walk with you."
Zhao Xiangwan then turned his anger into joy: "Okay, let's go."
The three of them walked out of the director's office shoulder to shoulder. When they met police officers along the way, they all gave them knowing looks.
[Where did these two policewomen come from? They are so pretty! ]
[The dog chief is going to harm women again. ]
[Tsk tsk tsk, Director Lu personally accompanied me, the treatment is not low? He is indeed a person who came from the provincial capital. 】
Pan Lei had been following the three people. Zhao Xiangwan winked at him and said, "Director Pan, didn't you hear what Director Lu said? Make the arrangements."
Pan Lei woke up as if from a dream, and his racing heart suddenly calmed down.
[Damn it, he brought this upon himself, don't blame others! ]
[I, I'm calling Xu Heimian right now. His disciple is so brave. I'm really freaking out.]
Zhou Rulan was responsible for attracting Lu Hui's attention and talking to him in a low voice, mainly asking questions.
"How many people are there in your department?"
"How many departments are there?"
"Are there many criminal cases?"
These questions were all related to work, so Lu Hui had to concentrate to answer them. He was now intent on gaining favor with Zhou Rulan, so he did not dare to slack off. He answered her questions while thinking, and before he knew it, he followed the two of them to the gate of the Public Security Bureau.
A jeep with a Xingshi license plate was parked at the door.
Zhao Xiangwan opened the car door and said, "Director Lu, please forgive me for asking you and Officer Zhou to sit in the back seat."
Lu Hui was thinking about how to get closer to Zhou Rulan. Seeing that Zhou Rulan had already gotten into the car, he bent down, stuck his head into the car, and said with a nonchalant smile: "What's the big deal? As long as Officer Zhou doesn't mind, I can sit anywhere..."
He suddenly stopped.
In addition to the driver, there was another man sitting as the co-pilot.
Ji Zhao's profile was like the bright moon in the sky, but he didn't even turn his head.
[That's not right, why is there someone in the front row? ]
[Are there three people sitting in the back row? ]
[This is not good...]
Before he could react, Zhao Xiangwan pushed Lu Hui into the car with great force.
Zhao Xiangwan quickly got into the car, raised his right hand, and stuffed a handkerchief into Lu Hui's mouth. Zhou Rulan and Zhao Xiangwan, one on the left and one on the right, handcuffed Lu Hui's hands behind his back and handcuffed him instantly.
"Bang——"
Just step on the accelerator and start the car quickly.
Outside the car window, the familiar Public Security Bureau building was receding.
Lu Hui even saw familiar figures in uniform waving at him with teasing smiles on their faces, as if saying: The Chief is so lucky, sitting in the back row with two female police officers.
Who wants this kind of fortune?!
“Mmmmm…”
Lu Hui began a fierce struggle.
【This is a hijacking! 】
[I am the director of the Public Security Bureau! You guys are killing yourself! ]
[Help, help! You idiots...]
Zhao Xiangwan raised his hand, formed it into a knife, and chopped him on the back of the neck.
Lu Hui leaned back and fell into a coma.
Zhao Xiangwan quickly took off the pistol that he always carried with him and threw it to Ji Zhao.
The four people in the car breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhao Xiangwan said, "Open quickly!"
Zhu Kang stepped on the accelerator without saying anything. He clenched his teeth and stared at the front. There was only one thought in his mind: drive quickly! Bring Lu Shangwu back to Xing City as soon as possible.
Zhou Rulan glanced at Lu Hui who was paralyzed in the back seat.
He is in his thirties, slightly plump, but without a belly, and has a well-maintained figure. He has an authoritative look on his face and is obviously a leader who pays attention to his personal image.
Zhou Rulan took a long breath and said to Zhao Xiangwan, "Are we out?"
Zhao Xiangwan smiled softly: "Of course."
Zhou Rulan asked worriedly, "Will they not notice something is wrong and send someone out to chase us? If the traffic police set up a checkpoint, I'm afraid we won't be able to escape."
Zhao Xiangwan said: "We came out of the Public Security Bureau in a grand manner, who dared to stop us? Besides, didn't we have Pan Lei to cover for us? Everyone thought that Director Lu was just hanging out with us two beautiful detectives."
Hearing the words "beautiful policewoman", Zhou Rulan became angrier and angrier, and spat at Lu Hui fiercely: "Shameless! Still want to please me? Dream on."
Zhao Xiangwan knew she was angry, so he gently advised her, "In order to complete the mission, we don't have to worry about some details. It is precisely because we are women, and beautiful women, that Lu Hui's vigilance has been lowered. Otherwise, do you think we could have brought him out so smoothly?"
Zhu Kang said as he drove: "Thank you for your hard work. I will treat you to a meal when we get back."
Everyone worked together for his cause, and Zhu Kang remembered this.
Zhao Xiangwan hummed, "We have to eat. But we still have a tough battle to fight."
Zhou Rulan took over her words and looked at the unconscious Lu Hui in a dilemma: "Yes, this is considered illegal detention, and we will inevitably be criticized when we return. However, Lu Hui is Lu Shangwu, there is no way around it. Forcibly summoning him to the police station for interrogation can be justified, but how to make him and Gong Sixi confess their crimes? We still have to figure it out."
Zhao Xiangwan smiled shrewdly: "Who said that we arrested someone for violating the rules? We privately invited Director Lu to visit the Municipal Bureau for an exchange. He came out with us voluntarily."
Zhou Rulan immediately responded: "Yes! I can prove that Director Lu volunteered."
Zhu Kang responded quickly: "Of course it's voluntary."
Even Ji Zhao, who was sitting in the passenger seat, nodded.
Run all the way.
We were so hungry at noon that we didn't have time to eat.
Before leaving Luo County, everyone was on edge.
Only when we reach Star City will we be safe.
More than an hour later, Lu Hui woke up.
The scenery outside the window kept changing and the car was moving very fast.
The bumps of the vehicle and the sound of the tires rubbing told him that he was still in the car. He did not shout, but sat up straight and looked around.
Although the handkerchief in his mouth smelled delicious, he felt very uncomfortable when he crumpled it into a ball and stuffed it into his mouth.
He entered the Public Security Bureau as a party and political official, and had never done any real work on the criminal investigation front. However, because he was in cahoots with Gong Youlin, he had heard about the ways they bullied people behind their backs.
Hearing about it and experiencing it in person are completely different things.
Lu Hui shook his head, rolled his eyes, and begged Zhao Xiangwan with his eyes to take the handkerchief out of his mouth.
Zhao Xiangwan glanced at him but said nothing.
Zhao Xiangwan signaled Zhou Rulan to keep an eye on him, lest he become desperate and jump out of the car to commit suicide, and then he took the handkerchief out of Lu Hui's mouth.
After all, he is a leader in the system, so he is not startled by the situation. Lu Hui moved his stiff facial muscles while looking at the four people in the jeep, thinking to himself.
What is certain is that the letters of introduction and police IDs presented by Zhao Xiangwan and Zhou Rulan are not fake, and they are not kidnappers. As for the rest, either they themselves committed a crime, or their political opponents used unconventional means to forcibly arrest them.
[Since I am not a kidnapper, I am not afraid of committing crimes or engaging in political struggles. ]
[Ordinary people may be afraid of the police, but I work in the system, and everything is based on procedures and the rule of law. Even if they are detectives from the serious crime squad, so what? They still have to follow the rules.]
Thinking of this, Lu Hui asked, "Where is the arrest warrant?"
Zhao Xiangwan: "What detention order?"
Lu Hui gritted his teeth and said: "You have nothing, and you want to take me, the director, away? You are so brave!" A newborn ox is not afraid of a tiger. These young people are really brave!
Zhao Xiangwan smiled slightly: "Didn't Director Lu say he would take us to visit Luo County? Officer Zhou and I will return the favor and take you to visit our Xing City."
Lu Hui looked at Zhao Xiangwan in disbelief: "You, you are kidnapping in disguise!"
Zhao Xiangwan said calmly, "How can this be considered kidnapping? You were very enthusiastic in sending us out, and you also asked Director Pan to handle the affairs of the bureau. Can you take us to Xing City?"
Lu Hui's pupils shrank: "Is Pan Lei one of yours?"
Zhao Xiangwan nodded: "Yes, he listens to me."
Countless thoughts flashed through Lu Hui's mind as he quickly thought of a solution.
【Who is behind Pan Lei? 】
[Who wants to mess with me? Qiao Jian, Liu Suozhu, or Deputy County Magistrate Li? ]
[If I step down, will Pan Lei be able to step up? Ridiculous! ]
He looked at Zhao Xiangwan seriously: "Officer Zhao, what are you going to do to me? You are still young and don't know the cruelty of political struggle. Your superiors ordered you to bring me back, but you didn't follow any procedures. When something went wrong, he pushed all the responsibility onto you. He got promoted and made a fortune, but you and your political future are all gone. What a pity."
Zhao Xiangwan frowned: "Really?"
Lu Hui said, "Tell me who is behind you. I promise to cooperate with your work and will never resist. If anyone asks, just say I plan to visit your criminal investigation brigade. How about that?"
Zhao Xiangwan was moved: "Since you are honest, I will tell you the truth."
Lu Hui held his breath and listened carefully.
[Who is it? Who wants to mess with me? As long as she tells me, I will have a way to deal with it. ]
[I have been running the county town for so many years. I would not have been able to get to the top without a backer.]
Zhao Xiangwan said casually: "I can't tell you the specific name, but I can give you a reminder."
Lu Hui was tempted by her and asked eagerly, "Okay, go ahead."
Zhao Xiangwan said in a serious tone: "County leader."
Lu Hui suddenly realized, anger flashing in his eyes.
[Damn, it’s Li Limin! ]
Zhao Xiangwan thought to himself, the enemy of our enemy is our friend, Deputy County Mayor Li Limin, who seems to be a good leader.
After knowing his opponent, Lu Hui began to think quickly.
Seeing that he had calmed down, Zhao Xiangwan said in a negotiating tone, "I'll remove the handcuffs for you, but you have to behave yourself, okay?"
Now that Lu Hui is certain that this is a political struggle, he is no longer afraid. He even comforted Zhao Xiangwan, the rookie detective: "Of course, if you treat me with sincerity, I will do my best to cooperate."
Zhu Kang, who was sitting in the front and concentrating on driving, was amazed.
Zhao Xiangwan's ability to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger is beyond the reach of ordinary people.
If she wants to be friends with someone, that person should be open and honest with her.
Whoever becomes her enemy will be doomed.
Thinking of the confrontation with the Gong and Lu families in the conference room, Zhu Kang's blood boiled. Well done!
The three-hour drive was over quickly.
Lu Hui chatted with Zhao Xiangwan along the way. Lu Hui thought he understood the whole process clearly and had thought of a countermeasure. He had a good impression of Zhao Xiangwan, a rookie who knew everything and told him everything.
Little did he know that Zhao Xiangwan had already dug up everything about him.
The jeep stopped at the city bureau parking lot and five people got out.
Zhao Xiangwan and Zhou Rulan still sandwiched Lu Hui in the middle, but they were smiling and talking: "Director Lu, please take a look at our bureau."
Lu Hui was neither handcuffed nor tied up, and he obediently followed their steps.
Ji Zhao glanced at Zhao Xiangwan.
[I'll go home and cook first, you come back and eat soon. ]
Zhao Xiangwan shook his head: "I guess I don't have time to eat."
The calling time limit is 12 hours, and every second counts.
Ji Zhao felt a little distressed, but still understood.
[Then I will go back to Four Seasons and ask the chef to make soup for you. ]
Zhao Xiangwan said, "Okay."
If she hadn't met Ji Zhao, Zhao Xiangwan really couldn't imagine how she could live with another man day and night.
Although Ji Zhao can't speak, he understands her, understands her work, respects her choices, and stands by her at all times.
Although Ji Zhao was of no use during this trip to Luo County, I felt at ease having him by my side.
Zhu Kang turned around and smiled: "Ji Zhao, are you hungry? Do you want to go to the cafeteria for a bite?"
When investigating a case, the police are so busy that they have to eat their lunch while working. There is no other way, time waits for no one. Ji Zhao shook his head, waved goodbye to everyone and left.
When Zhu Kang turned his head, Lu Hui finally saw his face.
"ah!"
Lu Hui was startled suddenly and let out a quick cry.
Zhu Kang and Lu Hui looked at each other.
The murderer who killed the whole family is right in front of you!
Zhu Kang was concentrating on driving and did not dare to turn around for fear of affecting his mind.
At this moment, he finally stepped on the concrete floor of the Municipal Bureau, and Zhu Kang finally met Lu Hui, oh no, Lu Shangwu.
Twenty years have passed.
The years have left traces on Lu Hui's face.
How glorious it is to become the director of the county public security bureau at the age of 36!
Has he ever thought that one day the old case will be re-examined?
Oh, of course, if he could become the director of the Public Security Bureau, all the files on the tragic case of the pile destroying the whole family must have been destroyed, right?
If Zhao Xiangwan had not found out the origin of Sancunwan from Zhao Dacui, if Zhou Rulan had not helped to find out the household registration information, and if the three elderly people had not been forcibly interrogated in the conference room, I'm afraid... these two people would have been hiding in the public security system and continued to harm the people.
Lu Hui's face turned pale.
[So similar! ]
[It's really alike. The face is exactly the same.]
[Why is it that after so much time has passed, the investigators have dealt with the old case, and the files have all been burned, I still can't forget this face? ]
[Yes, when Gong Sixi was chopping his cousin, a bolt of lightning struck, and I saw that face clearly. From then on, I never forgot it.]
Zhu Kang watched Lu Hui's face gradually turn pale. He wanted to provoke him with a few words, but was afraid of disturbing Zhao Xiangwan's interrogation rhythm, so he glanced at Zhao Xiangwan.
Zhao Xiangwan nodded slightly.
Zhu Kang knew that this meant it was not the right time yet.
Just now, Zhao Xiangwan was chatting with Lu Hui in the car, and did not mention the tragic case of Gong Dazhuang's family annihilation at all. Zhu Kang knew that Zhao Xiangwan had other plans.
Only a thunderous strike can have miraculous effects.
Zhu Kang took a deep breath, turned around, and quickened his pace to move forward.
After taking another look at Lu Hui, Zhu Kang wanted to pin him to the ground and rub him hard!
Shameless to the extreme!
Not killing is not enough to appease the anger of the people!
Seeing Zhu Kang's expressionless face, Lu Hui finally felt relieved.
[They just look a bit alike. ]
【Don’t scare yourself. 】
[The world is so vast, there are all kinds of strange things. It’s just a driver who looks like Gong Dazhuang. What should I be afraid of? ]
After finally completing his psychological preparation, Lu Hui had the leisure to visit the Xing City Public Security Bureau, chatting with Zhao Xiangwan while walking.
"Is this where you work? It's not that big."
"Where is the director's office? Should I say hello to your director?"
"Remember, there are only twelve hours. If you don't let me go when the time comes, you will be taken."
Zhao Xiangwan sent Lu Hui to the summons room and signaled to the police officer in charge of guarding him: "He's an important person, don't talk to him."
Before leaving, Zhao Xiangwan looked at Lu Hui with a gentle attitude: "Director Lu, please stay here for a while. I will report the situation to our director."
Lu Hui thought he had grasped the pulse of these rookie criminal policemen, and pretended to be generous and said: "Okay, Officer Zhao, you go ahead, I will do my best to cooperate with your work. However, don't forget to call Ren Yang in my office to inform him."
Zhao Xiangwan nodded: "Okay, I remember it."
Next, Zhao Xiangwan, Zhu Kang and Zhou Rulan came to the door of Xu Songling's office.
After knocking on the door, Xu Songling opened it immediately, with a serious face and a low voice: "Come in!"
Before Zhao Xiangwan could report, Xu Songling yelled, "Zhao Xiangwan, you are so brave!"
When Pan Lei called, he reported the situation tremblingly, which made Xu Songling tremble with fear.
Ask Pan Lei to ask the police station to check the household registration information overnight? There is no problem with this.
There is nothing wrong with calling in the family members of those involved in the case for questioning.
In less than an hour, Gong Sixi's whereabouts were found. He had suddenly become the chief of the bus station police station and was enjoying himself at the Four Seasons Hotel in Xing City. He asked the bureau to send someone to bring him back for tea? Okay, Xu Songling also cooperated!
But...they quickly found the second murder suspect, Lu Hui and Lu Shangwu, and discovered that he was the current director of the Luo County Public Security Bureau. Without asking for instructions or reporting anything, they just broke into the bureau and brought people out?
Too arrogant!
Who is Lu Hui? A party cadre!
Not to mention that the truth has not been ascertained yet, even if it is true, party disciplinary sanctions must be imposed first and then the case must be handed over to administrative and judicial authorities for handling.
If the public security organs want to summon him, they need to coordinate with relevant departments and follow formal procedures. How can they just take him away?
From Xing City to Luo County, cross-regional investigation, how dare Zhao Xiangwan be so independent?
Zhao Xiangwan knew Xu Songling would get angry, so before he could say anything, he said, "Director Xu, quickly get me a subpoena and I'll go through the formalities."
Xu Songling gritted his teeth: "You, you..."
Zhao Xiangwan urged him, "I just fooled Lu Hui, and he is willing to cooperate with our investigation. Hurry up, add a subpoena and ensure that the procedures are in compliance first."
Xu Songling had no choice but to make a phone call. After completing a series of procedures, Zhao Xiangwan took the freshly issued summons and returned to the summons room and asked Lu Hui to sign it.
Just as Lu Hui was about to ask, Zhao Xiangwan blinked at him and said, "Don't worry, don't worry. If you cooperate with us, I will definitely meet your requirements. I have just called Ren Yang and told him what you said. He told you not to worry."
Lu Hui finally felt relieved. Looking at the glaring words "Suspect Lu Hui" on the subpoena, he frowned and sneered, "You really went to great lengths to bring me down."
He signed his name with a flourish of the pen, put down the pen, closed his eyes and rested.
[No matter what fabricated facts are, don't even think of letting me say a word for these twelve hours.]
[What about the provincial police department? Luo County is under the jurisdiction of Yuezhou Prefecture. The Xing City police department has no right to dictate to me.]
[Wait for me to get out, and kill that Li Limin immediately! ]
Zhao Xiangwan walked out with the subpoena, and there was bright sunshine outside.
How could there be such darkness and sin under such beautiful and brilliant sunshine?
When I walked into the director's office again, Xu Songling was getting angry at Zhu Kang.
"I understand your feelings, but we are police officers. Police officers must strictly follow the law, regulations and charters when handling cases and cannot go beyond the scope permitted by the law."
"Gong Sixi is Gong Youlin? Lu Hui is Lu Shangwu? Where is your evidence?"
"You should come back and report first, and wait for us to coordinate with the provincial department and the Yuezhou District Public Security Bureau before taking the next step! Do you know that this will put us in a very passive position?"
Zhu Kang shrank his neck and endured Xu Songling's anger, while not forgetting to protect Zhou Rulan.
"Director Xu, if you want to scold someone, scold me. Zhou Rulan had no choice. She actually suggested that this method was too bold, but I was eager for revenge, so I didn't listen to her. This is all my responsibility. If you want to punish someone, punish me first."
Xu Songling sneered: "You're quite loyal?"
Zhao Xiangwan pushed the door open and interrupted Xu Songling: "Director Xu, time is tight now, everyone should not waste time. Let me briefly report my plan to you. This case is very big, so big that I am afraid that the Municipal Bureau cannot handle it, and we have to ask for support from the Provincial Department."
Xu Songling was skeptical: "Isn't this the murder case that wiped out the whole family 20 years ago? Why does it need support from the provincial government?"
Zhao Xiangwan shook his head: "The murder case is just the tip of the iceberg. The key is that the 16-year-old boy who dared to kill people has not only grown up, but also entered the public security system. The murderous aura, wrapped in a uniform, has become more arrogant and domineering. Sancunwan is involved in pornography, gambling, drugs, and human trafficking. Gong Changshui has already confessed this. We originally planned to take joint action with the Luo County Public Security Bureau. Now it seems that it is fortunate that Zhu Kang, Zhou Rulan and I made this trip. Otherwise, when the call is made, all the criminals in Sancunwan will run away, and the police will definitely return empty-handed.
Why? Because Sancunwan is under the jurisdiction of the Bus Station Police Station, and the chief of the police station, Gong Youlin, is the same Gong Sixi who committed the murder that year; he and another murderer, Luo County Public Security Bureau Chief Lu Hui, are of the same ilk, and have countless followers. Under their protection, Sancunwan's black industry has been developing day by day, and the local people are very angry, but they have no way to visit them. "
Zhao Xiangwan narrowed his eyes, and a cold light flashed across them.
"You know what? When I was chatting with the owner of the Hongyu Grocery Store at the bus station, I mentioned that there was a kidnapped woman in Sam Tsuen Wan. I wanted to call the police, but she turned pale with fear and pointed to the top of her head and said, 'Don't call the police, because they have an umbrella above them.'"
Zhao Xiangwan's voice became louder and louder.
"An umbrella?! We were not afraid of Wu Jianshe's huge umbrella back then. Are we afraid of an umbrella at a bus station police station in a small Luo County?"
Xu Songling looked at Zhao Xiangwan, who was like a sword drawn from its sheath, with a cold and shining light, and his heart was filled with excitement. The little girl who had been searching for her biological parents so hard back then had really grown up.
Xu Songling didn't want her to be too proud, so he said unhappily, "Are you still planning to provoke me? I tell you, it won't work!"
Zhao Xiangwan raised his head and chest: "No. I'm not trying to provoke you, I'm just telling the truth. When I entered the industry, you told me that the duty of a police officer is to punish evil and promote good. If we can't bring evil people like Gong Youlin and Lu Hui to justice, if we can't protect the safety of the people, are we worthy of the uniforms we wear?"
Xu Songling raised his hand, truly conquered by her: "Okay, okay, you have already made it. Tell me, what are you going to do next?"
Zhao Xiangwan said: "Gong Sixi's parents and Lu Shangwu's mother should be sent to the Municipal Bureau soon. They have an old relationship with Gong Dazhuang, so at least they know that they are guilty. I plan to interrogate them first..."
Xu Songling interrupted her: "What? You invited Gong Sixi's parents and Lu Shangwu's mother here? How did you get here?"
Zhao Xiangwan said: "The police from the bus station sent a car to deliver it. I asked them to deliver it."
Xu Songling's eyes widened: "You are a criminal police officer who just joined the police this year. Why should others listen to you?"
Zhao Xiangwan smiled: "I represent justice."
Xu Songling had figured it out. If she were allowed to go solo, she would be able to poke a hole in the sky.
There's no way. Who would allow himself to be her master?
Xu Songling sighed, "Okay, okay, just do it. I'll report to the provincial department leaders and find a way to solve the procedural problem for you."
Zhao Xiangwan said, "Master, this is not just a procedural issue. We have to do it in two ways. I will start the interrogation, starting with the old case from 20 years ago, and investigate the Gong and Lu families. You ask the people from the provincial government to come forward and find the secretary of Sancunwan, Lu Guoliang, based on Gong Changshui's testimony, and ask him to confess the problem honestly, and then send special police to completely clean up the evil forces in Sancunwan. I heard that Lu Guoliang's conscience is not completely corrupted. He has a precious grandson, Lu Tianci, who is in elementary school. Do you understand?"
Xu Songling looked at her deeply and raised his hand as if to hit her.
Zhao Xiangwan did not dodge or evade, his eyes were calm.
Xu Songling withdrew his hand and sighed: "Just do it."
Zhao Xiangwan stood still and saluted: "Yes!"
Zhu Kang and Zhou Rulan followed closely behind and said in unison: "Yes!"
After walking out of the director's office, the three of them looked at each other.
Zhou Rulan: "Director Xu is so scary when he loses his temper."
Zhu Kang: "Xiang Wan, you are so brave. You are not even afraid of Director Xu, and you dare to order him around?"
Zhao Xiangwan blinked and said, "I represent justice."
Hearing this again, the three of them laughed together, their hearty laughter echoing in the corridor.
Xu Songling in the room heard their laughter and gradually smiled. He picked up the phone and said, "Director Wang, yes, I'm Xu Songling. I have something very important to report to you."
Justice needs everyone to uphold it together.
Back at the Serious Cases Unit 1 office, Gao Guangqiang threw three instant noodles to them: "Are you hungry? Eat quickly."
The fried dough sticks, soaked in boiling water, filled the air with fragrance. Adding the seasoning packet, they were simply delicious to the three people who had been starving until now.
Zhu Kang took out lunch boxes for three people and diligently made instant noodles for Zhao Xiangwan and Zhou Rulan.
Zhao Xiangwan praised him and said, "You are quite diligent."
Zhu Kang said embarrassedly: "You two have been running around for so long for my affairs. I just made some noodles for you. It's my duty, my duty."
The three of them held the instant noodles and started eating.
Gao Guangqiang knocked on the small blackboard and all members took their positions.
With the sound of "Slurp", and the rich and overbearing aroma of instant noodles, the meeting of the Serious Crime Unit 1 began.
Zhu Feipeng said: "Gong Sixi's parents and Lu Shangwu's mother are already resting and waiting in the summons room. They are in good condition. I have already settled the police station comrade who brought them here. It's not good to let the comrades who came from a long distance go back immediately, right?"
Zhao Xiangwan was eating noodles with great interest when he heard Zhu Feipeng's words and raised his head: "How many people came from the police station?"
Zhu Feipeng said: "Three people."
Zhao Xiangwan smiled and said, "I didn't expect that there are quite a few policemen in the police station who are dissatisfied with Chief Gong. Please let them stay here and leave with us tomorrow morning."
Zhu Feipeng was stunned for a moment: "We are leaving early tomorrow morning, why?"
Zhao Xiangwan was very determined: "Point out the scene."
Zhu Kang was so surprised that he didn't even drink his noodle soup: "Will they definitely plead guilty today?"
Zhao Xiangwan nodded: "Of course."
Zhu Kang had great trust in Zhao Xiangwan, and his eyes sparkled with admiration. If she wasn't a woman, Zhu Kang would have wanted to pick her up and spin her around: "Xiangwan, you're amazing! Tell me, what do you need me to do? I'll do anything for you, even if it means risking my life."
Zhao Xiangwan took a sip of the noodle soup. It had a slightly spicy taste and was very comfortable.
"Let's start with Lu Fuqiang. Talk to him about the situation at home and tell him the glorious stories of the other two people."
Human jealousy is very scary.
If used well, Lu Fuqiang will be a sharp weapon that can tear apart the disguises of Gong Sixi and Lu Shangwu.
Zhu Kang felt relieved when he thought about the fact that Lu Fuqiang had been reported missing by his family and his account had been cancelled. He wiped his mouth with his backhand and stood up: "Okay, let's hear what he thinks first."
Zhao Xiangwan glanced at Zhou Rulan and said, "Go to the dormitory and rest for a while. Let Zhu Feipeng participate in the interrogation."
"Okay." Zhou Rulan didn't make excuses.
She had been running around all day, and her clothes were already sticky and uncomfortable. When she was working as a file manager at the Jinlianhu Police Station, she wanted to work on the front line, but she didn't expect to be in such a high-intensity work state once she joined. To be honest, it was really tiring!
However, Zhao Xiangwan and Zhu Kang did not complain about the hardship or tiredness, and were only focused on solving the case as soon as possible. This spirit moved her very much, and she added: "I will take a shower and come back soon to help you organize the information."
Zhao Xiangwan smiled and nodded: "Okay."
For a young lady from an official family who even Lu Hui had to hide gold jewelry in his pocket to curry favor with, it was already very good for her to be able to fight on the same front line with everyone.
Gao Guangqiang was very pleased to see Zhao Xiangwan grow from a rookie to a leader with great demeanor. He asked her, "Xiangwan, what about us? How are you going to arrange for us?"
Liu Liangju also said: "Yes, Xiangwan, aren't you trying to race against time and progress? Let's proceed in parallel and divide the work among ourselves."
Zhao Xiangwan pondered for a moment and began to arrange work for everyone.
"Lao Gao, go to the summons room and have a chat with Director Lu Hui and give him a pack of instant noodles. He made his fortune thanks to his father-in-law, and has a tense relationship with Deputy County Mayor Li Limin. You can ask around about his relationship with his family."
Gao Guangqiang responded readily: "Okay~"
"Liu Liangju, Huang Yuande, go to the call room and chat with Gong Dali and Sun Youmin, and bring some food and drinks over. Ask the infirmary to measure the elderly's blood pressure and heart rate, and assess their health, so that they won't blame us later."
Liu Liangju and Huang Yuande stood up quickly: "Okay!"
Zhao Xiangwan suddenly thought of someone: "Oh, by the way, Lao Gao, where is Gong Youlin?"
Gao Guangqiang laughed: "You forgot because you were busy, right? You asked us to bring him back from the Four Seasons Hotel for tea. Director Xu said that instead of inviting him back to assist in the investigation, it would be better to send someone to follow him. Don't worry, we have called Manager Lu of the hotel. There are four of them in the group. We guarantee that they will feel at home in the hotel and will not be allowed to leave."
Zhao Xiangwan asked: "A group of four people? Who are they?"
Gao Guangqiang said: "In addition to Gong Youlin, there are three others who are all from Sancunwan. One is called Gong Yixia, one is called Gong Erqiu, and one is called Lu Shangwen."
Zhao Xiangwan smiled and said, "Okay, get a subpoena and bring them all back. It's good to have the whole family together."
Gao Guangqiang said, "Then I will ask Director Xu to let the third team of the serious crime team help with the case. There are too many people involved in the case, and our team is not enough."
After the arrangements are made, everyone goes about their own business.
Zhu Kang, Zhao Xiangwan and Zhu Feipeng met Lu Fuqiang again in the interrogation room.
Lu Fuqiang looked at the uniformed criminal police in front of him pitifully and asked anxiously: "Have you returned to Siu Wan Village? Are my parents okay?"
Zhu Kang took his time, took out a file bag and placed it on the table, then took out a copy of the household registration information he had brought from the police station at the bus station.
Lu Fuqiang stared at his every move with burning eyes. Although he didn't know what Zhu Kang meant by this, Lu Fuqiang felt his heart beating like a drum.
Zhu Kang found Lu Fuqiang's information and started reading it.
"Lu Fuqiang, born in 1959, you are the eldest in the family, with two younger brothers and a younger sister, right?"
Lu Fuqiang's eyes lit up and he nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, it's me."
Zhu Kang raised his head and looked at Lu Fuqiang in front of him: "You ran away from home in 1977 and never heard from you again. Eighteen years have passed. Didn't you expect any changes in your family?"
Lu Fuqiang's eyes turned red, and his homesickness burst out at this moment: "I, I want to go back even in my dreams! But I dare not. When I go back to Xiaowan Village from the county town, I must pass by Jiuwan Village. The blue-tiled house of Gong Dazhuang's family is shining brightly under the sunlight. I am afraid! Besides, I will walk around the house with a knife when I have nightmares at night. I am afraid that I will hurt my parents, and my brothers and sisters."
Zhu Kang asked: "You didn't even send the letter back?"
Lu Fuqiang shook his head: "I sent a letter back a few years ago, but then I killed Ah Xia, and I hid from place to place, living like a rat in a gutter. I didn't dare to write a letter."
Zhu Kang showed a mocking smile: "Do you think that if you don't care, they will always wait for you there?"
Lu Fuqiang stared at him blankly. A hint of foreboding was like a pair of invisible hands, pinching his throat and making it impossible for him to breathe.
With a sharp pain in his chest, Lu Fuqiang spoke with difficulty: "Are they still there?"
Zhu Kang looked at Lu Fuqiang struggling and felt very happy: "What do you think?"
Lu Fuqiang wanted to kneel down and beg him, but his body was restrained and he could not stand up from the chair. He could only slowly raise his hands high in a begging gesture.
His voice was trembling, and tears welled up in his eyes: "I know, I killed your sister when I was young, I am deeply sinful, and even if I die a thousand times, I can't atone for my sins. I really, really regret it. I can't sleep through the night, I often sleepwalk, I can't get married and have children, I will spend my whole life repenting, I am a sinner!"
Longing for news about his hometown and relatives, Lu Fuqiang wanted to prostrate himself in front of Zhu Kang: "I beg you, please, please tell me, what is happening to my parents, my brothers and sisters now?"
