Chapter 67 Robbery
◎What a coincidence!◎
Zhu Feipeng wrote down several pages of records, and it felt like every word was stained with blood.
Cai Chang, Xiong Tao, Hu Linzhen, Xiong Yingying, Zhou Jinfeng, Ruan Wu, Yan Yi, a total of seven lives, all died at the hands of Fan Hongwei and Cao Deren.
Cao Deren knew that Fan Hongwei had confessed all his crimes. He was devastated and burst into tears: "Brother Fan, why did you tell me everything? This is something that could get you shot. Didn't you say that no one can tell? Why did you tell me everything..."
A 180-pound fat man was crying while sitting on the hospital bed, which made the members of the serious crime squad raise their eyebrows.
Zhu Feipeng yelled at him, "Why are you crying? Why didn't you cry when you killed people? Tell the truth!"
Cao Deren shuddered, but still couldn't stop crying: "I don't want to die, I don't want to die yet! If I die, my wife will definitely take our daughter and remarry. I have a mistress outside and raised a son who is only two years old. If I die, that mistress will definitely run away, who will take care of my son? Wow——"
Xu Songling said in a deep voice: "If you resist, you will be punished severely. If you confess, you will be punished leniently. If you are not the main culprit, you may be given a break."
He spoke ambiguously, but the words "let me off the hook" sounded like heavenly music to Cao Deren's ears. His eyes lit up and he stopped crying: "I'll confess, I'll confess! I was always following Brother Fan's instructions. He and I grew up together, and I did whatever he told me to do. It was all his idea."
Cao Deren's father was also a driver for a transport company. He died at the age of 30 due to a car accident. His mother remarried and he was raised by his grandfather, who basically let him do whatever he wanted and never restricted him.
Growing up with Fan Hongwei, Cao Deren, who is not particularly smart, admires the smart and brave Fan Hongwei very much and always takes him as the boss in everything. If Fan Hongwei asks him to learn how to drive, he will learn how to drive; if Fan Hongwei asks him to chop someone, he will take the knife.
The reason for killing Cai Chang was that Fan Hongwei wanted to do something big after watching a police and gangster movie;
The reason why Xiong Tao's family was killed was because Fan Hongwei found that robbing a bank was too risky and it would be better to break into the house and steal the money of rich people.
Zhu Feipeng shouted angrily: "Robbery is fine, why do you want to kill people?"
Cao Deren looked up blankly: "If we don't kill them, should we wait for them to report us? The gun in my hand was stolen from Cai Chang. If I get caught by the police, I will definitely die. Brother Fan said that since we will die anyway, it is better to live a happy life."
The police in charge of the interrogation, including Zhao Xiangwan who was listening in, could not help but sigh when they heard this. Ignorance! Too ignorant. No wonder they say that the ignorant are fearless. Cao Deren will eventually pay the price of his ignorance with his life.
As for Yang Xugang, who has been holding up an umbrella for Fan Hongwei and Cao Deren, the evidence of bribery and acceptance of bribes is conclusive, and severe legal sanctions will be waiting for him.
After two busy weeks, the Serious Crime Unit One finished sorting out all the information and submitted it to the prosecutor's office for review and prosecution. These two old cases that had been unsolved for ten years, plus the reservoir corpse dumping case of the Serious Crime Unit Two, were all closed.
Fan Hongwei's parents and sister finally received the news, but it was too late. The whole family took Fan Tianbao to find Gu Wenjiao, using both soft and hard tactics to try to save Fan Hongwei's life, but Gu Wenjiao coldly rejected them: "The hatred of killing my mother is irreconcilable."
The Fan family wanted to make trouble, but Gu Wenjiao was very determined: "If Fan Hongwei hadn't begged me before he was arrested, I would never have agreed to let you take Tianbao away. If you come to the hospital to make trouble again, I will sue to get back Tianbao's custody rights."
Fan Xingfu looked at Gu Wenjiao, the daughter-in-law he had never liked. At this moment, she was like a thorny holly tree, cold and hard. This made him realize that Gu Wenjiao was serious.
Thinking of his son and Cao Deren killing Gu Wenjiao's mother, Fan Xingfu still felt a little guilty. He sighed and prepared to go home with his grandson in his arms.
Tianbao stretched out his little hands and called for his mother in an ignorant manner.
Gu Wenjiao hardened her heart and turned away. If you don't make decisions, you will suffer. If Tianbao stays with you, it will only bring endless troubles.
"Mom...Mom..." Tianbao's childish voice cut into Gu Wenjiao's heart.
This is the child she carried for ten months and raised with great difficulty.
"Mom...wuwu..." Tianbao started crying when he saw that his mother ignored him.
Gu Wenjiao bit her lip, feeling extremely uncomfortable.
Some things are easier said than done. If you really have to abandon your own child, your heart will still ache.
However, Zhao Xiangwan's face appeared in front of her.
Although Zhao Xiang was young, he had a thorough understanding of the problem. He did not tell Gu Wenjiao the answer directly, but let her choose by asking questions.
Yes, Tianbao's surname is Fan, not Gu.
He is six years old and still twelve years away from reaching adulthood at the age of eighteen.
If he gets married and has children at the age of 26, he still has 20 years.
If Gu Wenjiao could live to be eighty, she would still have fifty years left.
Which number is greater, 6, 12, 20, or 50?
Even elementary school students know that 6 is the smallest number.
It is painful to give up the six years you have already spent, but in return you will gain twelve, twenty, or fifty years of ease and freedom. No matter how you calculate it, this account is worth it.
Sometimes, people have to think about themselves.
Even if you are a mother, it is not a reason for you to make unconditional dedication and sacrifice.
Gu Wenjiao raised her head, reached out her hand to take Tianbao, and held him tightly in her arms.
Tianbao hugged her neck and sobbed. His soft little hands pressed against her skin, making Gu Wenjiao feel completely dependent on.
Motherhood is innate in her, and now, holding her son in her arms, Gu Wenjiao feels as if she owns the whole world.
Fan Xingfu was a little panicked, fearing that his daughter-in-law would snatch his grandson from him. His son would most likely be shot, but fortunately he left a descendant for the Fan family. If Gu Wenjiao took his grandson away, what would he do? What would the Fan family do?
Fan Xingfu stretched out his hand with a fierce look on his face and a tough attitude, and snatched Tianbao away.
His movements were a bit awkward and hurt Tianbao, who started to cry out, "Mom, Mom!"
Amid the crying of the child, Gu Wenjiao raised her eyes and looked at Fan Xingfu: "In the future, don't spoil Tianbao. You have already harmed your son, don't harm your grandson again."
Fan Xingfu was anxious and yelled, "How did I harm Hongwei? I raised him like my own baby, helped him get married and have children, watched him get promoted and make a fortune, how could I harm him? It was you! You, the vicious woman, who sent him to the police, you unlucky woman! My Hongwei was very obedient when he was young, but Cao Deren corrupted him. You evil people, you will all die a miserable death!"
Tianbao was so scared that he started crying.
Fan Xingfu hurriedly patted Tianbao on the back, rocking him and coaxing him: "Tianbao, don't be afraid, Tianbao, don't be afraid. Your mother is not a good person. Let's ignore her in the future. She killed your father. She is a troublemaker."
Tianbao's ignorant eyes were filled with tears. He stared at Gu Wenjiao blankly, still stretching out his hand and shouting at her: "Mom, Mom——"
Gu Wenjiao sneered, clenched his fists, and his eyes were full of anger.
"You guys are really good at finding excuses for others! You are so shameless and mean that you want to put the blame on me, right? Let me tell you! I, Gu Wenjiao, am not afraid of you. People say that killing a child is like killing a child. When Fan Hongwei was a child, you indulged his bad habits. When he beat someone up, you never disciplined him. Instead, you praised him for his strength and skills. You were afraid that he would suffer a loss, and you even spent money to send him to practice martial arts. You are just aiding and abetting the evil!
Cao Deren has no parents since he was a child, and he has been following Fan Hongwei all the time. If you say that Fan Hongwei brought him up as a bad person, I believe it. But if you say that he brought Fan Hongwei up as a bad person, I really want to spit at you! How dare you say that someone else brought Fan Hongwei up as a bad person?
"You dare to call me a troublemaker again? I have divorced Fan Hongwei now, and Tianbao's custody should belong to me. I am in a good mood now, so I let you take Tianbao with you. If you make me, I will immediately go to court to sue angry for Tianbao's return and change my surname. I will make your Fan family's incense cut off! You keep offering incense all day long, but your vicious and selfish incense is useless!"
Gu Wenjiao was furious. After a scolding, Fan Xingfu's arrogance disappeared and he muttered, "Tianbao is my grandson, he has the same surname as me, I can't give him to you. I won't come here to look for you anymore. Tianbao will follow me, I will take care of him, I promise he won't be spoiled, don't worry..."
After that, Fan Xingfu carried Tianbao away at an incredible speed.
Gu Tianjiao pressed her chest and still felt the pain there.
It is worth enduring the pain for a moment in exchange for a lifetime of peace.
End of July.
In the hot afternoon, cicadas chirped.
Fan Hongwei and Cao Deren were discharged from the hospital after recovering from their illness. Zhao Xiangwan and members of the Serious Crime Unit 1 came to the hospital and prepared to escort the two wanted criminals back to the detention center.
Zhu Feipeng and his team were handling the handover procedures, while Zhao Xiangwan and He Mingyu went to the pharmacy to find Gu Wenjiao.
When Gu Wenjiao saw them, her eyes lit up. She said a few words to her colleagues and quickly came over to greet them: "Zhao Xiangwan, He Mingyu, why are you here?"
Zhao Xiangwan smiled and said, "Come here today and take those two people away."
Gu Wenjiao heard this, patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief: "Finally, we've sent these two plague gods away. If they don't leave, I'll have to listen to a lot of gossip."
He Mingyu frowned, not understanding: "You are the victim's family, they are the murderer, how can anyone gossip about you? What gossip!"
Gu Wenjiao smiled bitterly and said, "It's not those colleagues who don't know the truth. What else can they say? They just say that I'm cruel and don't even want my own son. I even cut off my husband's private parts with my own hands."
Gu Wenjiao used her nursing knowledge to reverse the operation, pulling out Fan Hongwei's nails and breaking his finger bones, and successfully necrotized the man's two balls, which had to be removed by surgery. These deeds, knowing the cause and effect of these deeds, are of course very gratifying, but for those new employees, or those who have completely forgotten the tragic case of the Third Hospital, they just think that Gu Wenjiao is too cruel.
Zhao Xiangwan knew too well the power of gossip.
Sometimes, even though you have done nothing wrong, there will always be enthusiastic people talking behind your back, trying every possible means to find fault with you.
Sometimes, even if it is someone else who has done something wrong, there will still be enthusiastic people who try hard to find reasons for the person who made the mistake, and finally force you to forgive him.
If the knife doesn't stab yourself, you will never feel pain.
Zhao Xiangwan suggested: "Or, let's leave here."
Change your environment, stay away from the center of the vortex, let your affairs be forgotten by everyone, and perhaps you will find a new world.
Gu Wenjiao looked at the hospital where she had worked for ten years with some reluctance: "Leaving? How can you leave?"
Zhao Xiangwan said, "Dr. Qiao Mo is a medical talent that the hospital brought in from Country M. I once heard him say that there is a severe shortage of nursing talent in Country M, and that you don't need to take an exam to study for a master's degree, you just need to apply. Do you want to ask him to go to Country M to study, learn more about nursing, and become a better nurse than your mother?"
Zhao Xiangwan was able to say these words because he listened to Dr. Qiao Mo's inner voice.
Qiao Mo is an enthusiastic person, and one of the few people in the hospital who supports, praises, and even secretly admires Gu Wenjiao.
Others think that Gu Wenjiao is too persistent in finding the murderer; Qiao Mo, however, thinks that she is stubborn and focused, and her love for her mother is deep and long-lasting, which is great.
Others think that Gu Wenjiaohun is full of thorns. She broke up with her father and was cold to her husband. No wonder her life was a mess. However, Qiao Mo thought that she had a clear distinction between right and wrong and had principles in life, which was admirable.
Others think that Gu Wenjiao was too cruel to her criminal husband, resorting to lynching in the hospital and disregarding the law; Qiao Mo, however, thinks that she is an extraordinary woman who has a sense of love and hate, and will avenge her enemies.
However, Qiao Mo is a man, and a single man, and he was a little guilty after being scolded by Gu Wenjiao, so he didn't dare to get close. He could only mutter to himself in his heart, but Zhao Xiangwan heard everything clearly.
Gu Wenjiao was obviously interested after hearing what Zhao Xiangwan said: "Really? It will cost a lot of money to study in Country M, right?"
Zhao Xiangwan smiled and said, "I heard that you can apply for scholarships to study in Country M. If you study nursing, you can also get a salary as an intern in a clinic, so you should have no problem supporting yourself. You can go there alone, without any ties, and you have both hands and feet. Are you afraid that you won't survive?"
He Mingyu also supported Gu Wenjiao's decision to go abroad: "You had such a hard time before, but you were able to persevere. Going abroad is just a matter of going abroad. Is it harder than before?"
Gu Wenjiao was a strong person. After hearing what Zhao Xiangwan and He Mingyu said, she suddenly became brave: "Okay! I'll go ask Dr. Qiao how to apply to study abroad." The pharmacy was not busy at the moment, and she didn't want to wait for a minute. She rushed to the ophthalmology department like a whirlwind. She first asked Qiao Mo for a general idea, and then made an appointment with Dr. Qiao to discuss the details during lunch.
Seeing Gu Wenjiao's energetic look, He Mingyu nudged Zhao Xiangwan with her shoulder: "Hey, are you relieved now?"
Zhao Xiangwan smiled and nodded.
The two were about to meet up with the major crime squad when they heard an anxious cry from the hall: "Doctor, doctor, there's a patient here, with a knife wound, first aid—"
Hearing the word "knife wound", He Mingyu moved closer out of professional habit.
Three bloody people were carried out of the ambulance.
One of them was a dignified middle-aged man with a sharp knife stuck in his chest and blood foaming from his mouth. A middle-aged woman dressed elegantly was covered in blood, and it was impossible to tell where the wound was. She was already dying. The last person to be carried down was a boy of twelve or thirteen years old, with his throat cut by a knife. His face was pale and blood was all over his body and face. It was obvious that he was not going to survive.
I thought there were only these three, but unexpectedly, there was also a pretty girl in a red dress, about 20 years old, with knife wounds on her left and right hands. Blood was flowing down her arms. Her face was splattered with blood, her hair was disheveled, her face was full of tears, her hands were clasped, and she hurriedly ran with the stretcher, not caring about the wounds on her hands. She cried as she ran: "Dad, Mom, Zhang Zhang——"
The police car came roaring.
He Mingyu grabbed a familiar policeman and asked, "What's going on?"
The policeman was Huang Yi from the Wufulu Police Station. Seeing that they were from the Serious Crime Unit, he shook his head and answered, "Oh! It was a home invasion. All four members of the family were stabbed and all the valuables in the house were looted. Fortunately, the girl's injuries were relatively minor. We called the police."
Huang Yi glanced at Zhao Xiangwan and asked, "You guys are here at the hospital today too? Is there a major case?"
Zhao Xiangwan said: "Fan and Cao were discharged from the hospital today."
Huang Yi understood as soon as he heard it: "Oh, you can finally relax a little." People are in the hospital and have to be alert all the time. Someone has to be assigned to watch them 24 hours a day, which is tiring.
The doctor shouted from the front: "Someone come and help."
Huang Yi hurried away, leaving behind a sentence: "I have to go and get busy. I will find you guys when I have time."
The scene was in chaos.
Medical staff quickly began first aid and everyone was transferred to the emergency room.
Only drops of blood were left on the floor, scattered everywhere.
He Mingyu had been a criminal police officer for so many years and had seen many bloody incidents, but he still felt sad when he saw the tragic plight of this family of four. He sighed and said, "How pitiful."
Zhao Xiangwan looked at the girl running after the emergency transfer bed thoughtfully without saying a word.
He Mingyu followed her gaze and sighed again: "Poor girl, her parents and brother are all seriously injured. I don't know if they can be saved. If she is the only one left in the family, she will be all alone... Alas!"
Having just managed to appease Gu Wenjiao, the family member of the victim of the tragic murder, He Mingyu felt compassion and couldn't help but imagine the scene of the girl in the red dress searching for the murderer just like Gu Wenjiao after losing her family, and she sighed.
Zhao Xiangwan said something that ruined the mood: "She was wearing high-heeled sandals."
He Mingyu was stunned for a moment: "What's wrong with wearing high-heeled sandals?"
Zhao Xiangwan seemed to be completely unaffected by the bloody scene, and said in a calm voice: "Her parents and brother were all barefoot. They must have been wearing slippers, which they lost when they were carried onto the bier."
After Zhao Xiangwan's reminder, He Mingyu also realized the problem: "Yes, why isn't she wearing slippers?"
Zhao Xiangwan continued to analyze: "The sandals on her feet have buckles on the side. When putting on the shoes, you need to bend over or squat down, and use the index finger, middle finger and thumb of both hands to buckle them. But look at her, her arm was cut, and there are scars of varying depths on the back of her hand..."
He Mingyu said: "She probably didn't wear shoes after being hacked. She might have put on her shoes and was about to go out when the robbers came to her house."
Zhao Xiangwan nodded: "Well, that's possible."
He Mingyu had just breathed a sigh of relief when Zhao Xiangwan's words raised her anxiety again: "This kind of sandals are very demanding for the wearer. If the back of the foot moves randomly, it is easy for the heel to be crooked. But... I think she ran quite steadily."
The girl in the red skirt followed the medical staff into the emergency room, and her graceful figure could no longer be seen. He Mingyu looked at the door of the emergency room, frowned and said, "Zhao Xiangwan, are you suspicious of something?"
Zhao Xiangwan: “It’s hard to say, I just feel there is a sense of incongruity.”
A group of people just rushed over, their voices chattering and chattering, like sparrows on a tree, it was impossible to capture any useful information. But Zhao Xiangwan never sympathized with others easily, his personality was calm, and he observed with his eyes, and felt that the girl in the red skirt, as the victim, was less injured and her movements were calmer, which was a little bit wrong.
He Mingyu immediately felt like he was facing a formidable enemy: "If you think it's against the rules, then there's probably something wrong. Should we pay attention to this case?"
Zhao Xiangwan asked her, "This is the Wufulu Police Station's jurisdiction. If they don't ask for help, we can't just intervene, right?"
He Mingyu nodded and said, "Yes, although we are the serious crime team, we will not easily interfere in other people's cases unless they take the initiative to come to us, or the case is serious and the higher-ups give the order."
After a half-second pause, He Mingyu smiled and said, "Isn't Huang Yi an old acquaintance of ours? We can ask him about the progress of the case in private when the time comes."
The bloody smell in the hospital lobby lingered for a long time. Zhao Xiangwan stood for a moment and nodded: "Okay."
Zhu Feipeng and his team had already completed the handover with the hospital, and escorted Fan Hongwei and Cao Deren to the hospital lobby. Seeing He Mingyu and Zhao Xiangwan standing there in a daze, they raised their voices and shouted, "Hey, let's go."
When He Mingyu heard his voice, she immediately smiled and ran over like flying, almost holding his arm and shaking it a few times: "We're done, let's go."
This is the downside of office romances. The sweetness between their brows is almost overflowing, and their eyes are almost glued to each other, which makes Zhu Kang and Ai Hui, who are standing next to them, feel a little uncomfortable.
Zhu Kang is a rural child. He was admitted to the Public Security University and stayed in Xing City as a criminal policeman, becoming the pride of the whole village. His parents expressed their feelings in a very subtle way. There were few couples in the village who showed their affection. If a young man fell in love with someone, he would secretly make an appointment to go to the town to watch a movie. If he met someone, he would hide far away from them, for fear of being seen. Zhu Kang, who grew up in such an environment, is also a very reserved person in terms of emotions.
Suddenly seeing his two comrades, Zhu Feipeng and He Mingyu, being affectionate in front of him, Zhu Kang rubbed his arms and said, "Pay attention to the impact. I have goosebumps all over my body."
He Mingyu stood a little further away, feeling a little embarrassed. However, Zhu Feipeng, who was always thick-skinned, stretched out his arms and hugged her in his arms, saying proudly, "Are you jealous? Are you envious? I'm leaving first, I have a girlfriend!"
Zhu Feipeng has already established a formal romantic relationship with He Mingyu and has met both parties' parents, who are both very satisfied.
Zhu Feipeng's parents used to think that their son was late in maturing and had no idea about love. They only wanted to solve the case and were worried that their son would be alone for the rest of his life. Now that he has brought his girlfriend to their house, He Mingyu is gentle and considerate, and is also a police colleague. They are simply the best of both worlds. They are so happy that they gave He Mingyu a gift of 2,000 yuan when they met, and even took He Mingyu to buy three gold items in preparation for the engagement.
He Mingyu's eldest and second sisters were already married, both to workers. He Mingyu's partner was a government employee, and it was said that his family was quite wealthy, and he was young and handsome. It was hard to find such a good son-in-law, and she smiled from ear to ear. What about the betrothal gift, what about the engagement wine? Everything was easy to talk about.
Xu Songling saw the confused energy of Zhu Feipeng and He Mingyu, and waited until everyone returned to the team and went back to the serious crime team office before he spoke with a stern face.
"Zhu Feipeng, you treat us tonight."
Zhu Feipeng had been very depressed because he had failed to invite guests several times. When he heard Xu Songling's words, he immediately stood up and said, "Yes! Got it."
Four Seasons Hotel is worthy of being the most luxurious hotel in Xing City. In 1990, it introduced the latest air-conditioning technology from abroad and installed central air-conditioning throughout the hotel.
It was the hottest time of the year at the end of July. It was so hot outside that I was sweating profusely. But once I entered the hotel lobby, it was extremely cool. It was the first time Zhao Xiangwan saw air conditioning in summer. He looked around curiously, wanting to see the source of the coolness.
Lu Manning received a call from her son saying that people from the Serious Crime Unit were coming for dinner, so she waited at the lobby door early and greeted everyone politely and warmly.
Seeing Zhao Xiangwan's curious expression, she smiled and explained, "This is the air conditioning technology that President Ji introduced from Country M. It cost a lot of money. I heard that every household in Country M now has air conditioning installed. In the summer, electric fans are not needed. Once the air conditioning is turned on, the hot air in the room is taken away, and it is naturally cool."
Zhu Feipeng added: "In fact, several decades ago in our country, in 1924, there was a marble building of more than 3,000 square meters in Shanghai. It used a chiller from a company in Country M and installed the first central air conditioner in our country."
Air conditioning! This word is extremely attractive to detectives who only know fans in the summer.
"It's a good thing, it's really cool!"
"No wonder Comrade Xiao Zhu was so unhappy when Captain Xu invited us to a hot pot restaurant last time. It turns out he wanted to enjoy the cool breeze at the Four Seasons Hotel."
"It must be very expensive, right? I wonder if ordinary people can afford it?"
Zhu Feipeng replied: "This type of household air conditioner is not mass-produced in China yet, and it is not available on the market."
Everyone sighed with regret.
In the dog days of summer, it is so hot that people can die. If we have an air conditioner, it can save lives.
Originally Xu Songling was planning to find out how much an air conditioner costs and how long he and Zhou Qiaoxiu would need to save to buy one. But now that he heard that it would not be mass-produced, he could only shake his head regretfully.
Lu Manning invited everyone to the Baorui Hall on the second floor and said words of thanks and welcome with a smile.
Xu Songling waved his hands and said, "Xiao Zhu has performed well in the serious crime squad and has made a great contribution this time. I should be the one to thank you for training such a good criminal police talent."
Lu Manning took He Mingyu's hand and whispered a few words to her. He Mingyu blushed and nodded.
Zhao Xiangwan was standing closer and heard everything clearly.
"Don't let Xiao Peng drink too much. He has no self-control. Drinking too much is bad for his health."
"Okay, I understand, Auntie."
Is Lu Manning unable to control her son and planning to train her future daughter-in-law? Zhao Xiangwan pursed her lips and smiled.
The Baorui Hall still has dark oak furniture and beautiful beige marble floors. There is a bright crystal chandelier above the head, and there are small star-like lights on all four sides of the ceiling, which illuminate the entire private room brilliantly.
The air is cool and filled with the faint scent of magnolia. You will feel extremely comfortable as soon as you enter the private room.
Everyone sat around a large round table, in the center of which was a large basket of seasonal flowers, including roses, jasmine, lilies, and cosmos. The white tabletop, gold-painted tableware, and orange napkins gave off an air of luxury.
The other members of the serious crime team were fine. Zhu Feipeng would occasionally invite them to spend money here, so they had seen the world. But for Gao Guangqiang, this was really his first time getting married, and everything felt new and fresh. After he sat down, he shook out the napkin folded into the shape of a magnolia flower, shook his head and sighed, "This place is really classy."
This sentence drew sighs from several young people.
"Isn't it? When we first came back, we didn't know where to put our hands and feet."
"Just wait, Lao Gao. The food at the Four Seasons Hotel is so delicious that you'll want to swallow your tongue!"
"Haha, that's a bit exaggerated, Ai Hui, you greedy devil."
"If you ask me, it's no wonder that there are so many criminals in this world who take risks for money. Money is really too tempting. Look at this hotel. It has air conditioning and style. If you don't have money, how can you enjoy it?"
As soon as Zhu Kang said this, everyone fell silent.
Zhu Feipeng, who had been proudly showing off the furnishings of Baorui Hall to He Mingyu, also shut up and seemed to be thinking about something.
The world is busy all for a few coins; but these few coins can resolve all kinds of worries.
Why did Fan Hongwei kill Cai Chang? Because he wanted to steal the gun.
Why did he rob a gun? Because he wanted to rob a bank.
Why did he rob the bank? Because he wanted to get rich overnight.
Why did he want to get rich quickly? Because he thought money was a very, very good thing.
In Fan Hongwei's eyes, money is omnipotent. Money can buy sex and love, money can buy enjoyment, money can buy respect, envy and a more comfortable life.
As the saying goes, people die for money and birds die for food.
Xu Songling saw that everyone's thoughts were somewhat floating, so he hurried to do ideological work: "We are police officers, and what we do is to punish evil and promote good. The country is now reforming and opening up, and it is a market economy. Having money is no longer a shame. Everyone is working hard to make money, which is good. Money is a good thing, but there is a saying that is right, a gentleman loves money, but he gets it in a proper way. If you make money through incorrect means, through illegal means, we must resolutely crack down on such behavior!"
Gao Guangqiang is older and calmer. He nodded repeatedly after hearing what Xu Songling said: "Captain Xu is right. If you want to make money, you should do it through formal channels. If you steal, rob, or cheat, that won't work."
Xu Songling glanced at the young people present: "Our police salaries are not high, but they are stable, with housing and clothing provided. The city bureau will also carry out salary reforms in the future, and there will be bonuses for solving more cases. Don't worry, although our jobs won't make us rich, we will definitely have no worries about food and clothing, and... it's meaningful and fulfilling, right?"
Zhu Feipeng responded most positively, saying happily: "I feel a great sense of accomplishment! I have wanted to be a policeman since I was a child. Catching bad guys and helping good people who are bullied, this feeling is especially good."
Hearing this, Ji Zhao suddenly reached out, and taking advantage of the cover of the white tablecloth, he held Zhao Xiangwan's hand, and their hands intertwined, showing great intimacy.
【You like being a policeman, don't you? 】
Zhao Xiangwan pinched his palm to respond: Yes.
[Catch the bad guys and help the good guys, right? ]
Zhao Xiangwan pinched his palm again: Yes.
[I want to be a police officer with you, okay? ]
Zhao Xiangwan hesitated for a moment.
【Not good? Why? 】
This question is not easy to answer.
Ji Zhao is a very good criminal portrait artist, and his painting skills are unique in the entire criminal field. If he can enter the public security system, his help to the serious crime team is obvious.
However, Ji Zhao is the only son of Ji Jinmao, the richest man in Hunan Province. He is autistic and has a speech disorder. Without Zhao Xiangwan as a bridge, it would be difficult for him to realize his advantages. The only way is to keep him with her.
Thinking of this, Zhao Xiangwan smiled and gently pinched his palm: Okay.
Then let’s stay together forever.
Ji Zhao grinned and smiled silently. This smile, as bright as a spring flower, immediately attracted everyone's attention.
"Ji Zhao, why are you so silly and happy?"
"What's the happy news? Let Xiangwan tell everyone."
"Are you happy because you're back at your hotel?"
Ji Zhao still had a smile on his face, but he didn't say anything. He turned his head and looked at Zhao Xiangwan, his eyes full of joy. Being able to be with Zhao Xiangwan every day, whether as a policeman or doing business, is something worth being happy about.
Ji Zhao's happiness successfully infected everyone at the table. The discussion about money that was triggered by Gao Guangqiang's words just now came to a temporary end. Zhu Feipeng suddenly remembered something at this time.
"Xiang Wan, I've been so busy lately that I forgot to ask you. When interrogating Fan Hongwei, you once asked me to pay attention to Gu Wenjiao's movements, the one where she slapped her knees twice. What did that mean?"
Zhao Xiangwan bowed slightly and explained to everyone the origin of the word "heart anchor" in psychology.
He Mingyu pondered: "For an unconfident person, if you say to the mirror every day: You are awesome, isn't that like planting an anchor in their heart?"
Zhao Xiangwan nodded: "Yes! Some businessmen will wear a piece of clothing that has brought them good luck or wear Dzi beads before negotiating a business deal. This is also a way to plant an anchor in their heart. To put it bluntly, it is a positive psychological suggestion."
The waiter brought a jug of iced orange juice, and Zhu Feipeng attentively poured a glass for Zhao Xiangwan: "Can you plant a trap in someone's heart to trick them into telling you the truth? Can you teach us?"
Gao Guangqiang watched everyone in the serious crime team look at Zhao Xiangwan eagerly, and once again sighed that it was great to be young. The young people in the serious crime team were eager to learn, and they were willing to ask questions. This atmosphere gave Gao Guangqiang, who originally only wanted to retire gloriously, some youthful energy.
Zhao Xiangwan took the orange juice and took a sip. It was cool, smooth, sweet and sour. Drinking an iced drink in the hot summer was indeed a pleasure.
"I actually read about this in a book. It said that in the 1880s, there was a famous socialite in Country F. Although her appearance was not outstanding, she attracted countless business celebrities and artistic geniuses. This puzzled many people. They didn't know what kind of charm she had that could make so many outstanding men unable to resist her. This socialite didn't reveal her little tricks to conquer men until she was old."
Tips to subdue a man? He Mingyu unconsciously moved forward, wanting to hear more clearly.
Even the pretty waitress who had just delivered the drinks stopped and stood at the door, refusing to leave.
"When a socialite falls in love with a man, she will first make a small request that is very easy to fulfill and reasonable so that the other party cannot refuse, such as, can you buy me a drink? Can you help me get a napkin? In that era in Country F, men considered themselves gentlemen and generally would not refuse such simple requests from ladies. After the man accepts the request, the socialite will make a small eye-catching but not abrupt gesture, such as lightly touching her lips with a wine glass or adjusting the hem of her skirt. In short, the gesture should be elegant and beautiful to leave a deep impression on the other party."
Seeing that He Mingyu was barely willing to move her eyes while listening, Zhao Xiangwan couldn't help but laugh and continued his story.
"She would then make the same request to the man several more times, repeating the action when he agreed. Over time, no matter how difficult her request was, the man would agree to her request when she repeated the action.
This is the anchor of the heart."
The field suddenly became quiet.
Is this the anchor? It feels like a training of habitual behavior.
Xu Songling has been in charge of interrogation for many years and has a wealth of experience. After hearing what Zhao Xiangwan said, he sighed and said, "That makes sense. Through certain repetitive actions, the suspect can be made to speak the truth."
Gao Guangqiang is also an old criminal policeman who has dealt with criminals for many years. Hearing this, he excitedly slapped the table and said, "Yes! In the future, we can try to tap the table with a pen or a chair with our fingers when we ask simple questions at the beginning when the other party tells the truth. If the other party tells a lie, we won't tap. Through such training, we should be able to increase the probability of the other party telling the truth!"
Huang Yuande's eyes lit up: "Every time we were analyzing a case, Captain Xu would pull out a small blackboard and write and draw on it. Does this count as an anchor?"
Xu Songling's face was stern: "Don't say that wind is rain, everything is an anchor. I call it using effective tools to organize my thoughts."
"Hahahaha..." Everyone laughed.
Amidst the laughter, Ji Jinmao pushed the door open and bowed to everyone as soon as he entered: "Sorry, sorry, I'm a step late. I'm sorry for the poor hospitality. Please forgive me."
Xu Songling stood up with a smile: "Mr. Ji, you are too polite."
Ji Jinmao wore a loose light brown linen short-sleeved shirt, a pair of beige wide-leg trousers, and a pair of shallow-cut brown cloth shoes. He only needed a whisk in his hand to become a Taoist practicing in the mountains. His head and face were covered in sweat, and he looked a bit wolfish, which made people curious.
——Mr. Ji has been in the business world for so many years that he has become quite an expert. Why does he look a little flustered today?
Ji Jinmao took the initiative to explain without waiting for people to ask: "I have a good friend who I have known for many years. He suddenly met with misfortune this afternoon. I just came back from the hospital, so I came a little late."
The professional habits of the police prompted Xu Songling to ask: "What kind of trouble did it encounter? An accident, or..."
Ji Jinmao sighed, "They encountered a robber who broke into their home and stabbed all four members of the family with a knife. My friend was stabbed in the chest and is still in the ICU. His wife was stabbed more than a dozen times and has stopped breathing. His son was stabbed in the neck and died before he was sent to the hospital. Only one daughter is in a better condition, but she also has a lot of injuries. You say... How come a robber suddenly broke into a good family? I told him a long time ago that the security of the old residential building is not good and it is not safe for people to come and go, but he was reluctant to move there, saying that his roots are there. Alas!"
Hearing this, He Mingyu and Zhao Xiangwan looked at each other. What a coincidence!
