Chapter 29
"What do you mean you don't want us anymore? Coach Luo is such a joke..." Pang Guang laughed dryly and stood up, then took a few big strides to the window.
A lot of people had gathered in the city bureau compound outside, with several small trucks parked in the back. The person standing in front of everyone was Lin Jiafan.
With a simple wave of his hand, the plainclothes policemen quickly and in unison got into the car.
In the blink of an eye, amid the noisy sound of the pickup truck's engine, both the people and the truck disappeared.
Only Pang Guang was left half hanging on the window of the training room. He howled a few times at the top of his lungs but to no avail. Then he dropped his hands with a look of loss on his face, looking pitiful as if he had been abandoned.
"With such a big scene, what is Officer Lin doing?" Luo Jingyao was really curious.
The young man shook his head dejectedly, and with a sense of resentment at being betrayed by the whole world, he replied, "How should I know? The boss didn't tell us beforehand. He must be trying to get out of this physical training class!"
"We don't share happiness together, are we still good brothers?!"
"No way...Officer Lin shouldn't be that kind of person." Luo Jingyao forced a curl of her lips. Deep down, she really didn't want to accept such an evaluation.
It's just a physical education class, how scary can it be?
"No?" Pang Guang curled his lips. "I just can't find an excuse. If you don't believe me, ask Brother Guo and Sister Pan. If there's a reasonable reason, we will definitely run faster than anyone else."
Pan Chang and Guo Zhen were suddenly called out, and although they were reluctant to admit it, they finally nodded honestly.
Under the three people's pleading gazes, Luo Jingyao turned her head away reflectively, avoiding their sight, and then clapped her hands vigorously: "Okay, listen to my command, everyone stand up, class begins!"
Are you kidding? She has a very strong professional ethics, right?
You have to know that the Jinshi Public Security Bureau pays her 600 yuan for a class. She must make the client feel that the 600 yuan is well spent, so that the sustainable development of this job can be achieved in theory.
Soon, wailing sounds were heard one after another in the training room.
An hour and a half later, Pang Guang slumped to the ground with a grimacing look on his face, his tone filled with indignation: "Coach Luo, we didn't even get two hours of sleep last night. You know it's really easy for something to get into trouble if you come here like this?!"
"I know, so today's class will mainly consist of a little bit of strength training and stretching. It won't raise your heart rate, so don't worry." Luo Jingyao smiled gently.
After all, she is a professional when it comes to abusing people.
"You call this a little bit?" Pang Guang stared in disbelief, and finally couldn't hold on and fell backwards.
Pan Chang and Guo Zhen, who were standing by, didn't seem to be in much better shape than him.
Just as the three of them were enjoying the rare peace and quiet after class, the familiar engine sound floated in through the window again.
Luo Jingyao craned her neck again to take a closer look, muttering to herself, "Where did Officer Lin get so many things?"
The cargo beds of several trucks were now full, piled up into a small mountain. It was quite spectacular at first glance, attracting people in the office building to open their windows and look sideways.
However, there shouldn't be many people left in the building. Most of the police officers are currently in the yard, following Lin Jiafan's instructions and carefully unloading piles of unknown "junk" from the truck bed.
"Captain Lin, are you going to clean out the garbage dump?" Guo Zhen, who had come up at some point, was also shocked.
"Oh no, this is bad! Deputy Director Zhang is coming down from the building! He doesn't look very happy... Let's go over and take a look!" Pang Guang's face changed. He grabbed the two people around him and quickly rushed out of the training room.
Luo Jingyao realized it belatedly and turned back, only to see an empty venue. After thinking about it, she decided to put the equipment scattered on the ground back in place first, and then she slowly walked out of the annex building and into the yard.
Just like the first day, she stood by the old tree, watching Deputy Director Zhang storm out of the office building. He yelled at Lin Jiafan in a state of collapse, "Lin Jiafan! What are you doing?"
"Last night, you brought back so many trainees from training camp without even telling them. Not only did you have all the police officers from different branches work overtime with your special case investigation team and help you take statements, you even pulled a lot of people from the lower-level police stations! And then, after we finally finished our work, you sent everyone away again in the blink of an eye. Do you own the Public Security Bureau?!"
"Director Zhang, who offended you? Calm down." Lin Jiafan didn't care at all. He even reached out and patted the man's chest gently. "What else can I do? Isn't it all about solving the case?"
"Last night, the brothers in the entire organization worked very hard, but wasn't it to prove Jiang Qi's crime of drug trafficking? As for these, I just took people to Zhao Weiqing's residence and the first crime scene to retrieve them. They are all his personal belongings. We have to find evidence that Jiang Qi ordered Zhao Weiqing to kill people, right?"
"Just like that?! Lin Jiafan, don't lie to me. Is that how you investigate a case?" Deputy Director Zhang felt his eyes go dark. The bureau's funds were burning through like crazy right in front of him. "If you want to mess with someone, mess with your own team. What's the point of messing with other teams? They won't do their job, will they?!"
"Our team has always been short-staffed. I've written a bunch of reports requesting new people. They're probably all gathering dust on your desk, Director Zhang, right?" Lin Jiafan curled his lips sarcastically. "You can't be so hypocritical. You don't want to give me new people, but you're still worried about the funding."
"With just the few of us in our team, how long would it take to investigate these truckloads of stuff? Isn't time the most important factor in investigating a case? Not to mention that you generously arranged a physical training session for us this morning."
Pang Guang and others behind him suddenly brightened up their eyes when they heard this. It turned out that Captain Lin was standing up for them!
Being contradicted in front of so many people, Deputy Director Zhang seemed a little embarrassed. "Your Special Case Investigation Team has handled at least eighty cases, if not a hundred. When have you ever wasted police resources like this?"
"Yes, but weren't those cases handled according to my decision? But you said yesterday, Director Zhang, that I can't do whatever I want, so we can only follow the normal process." Lin Jiafan's elegant and handsome face was full of innocence, but the words he said could make people angry.
Upon hearing this, Deputy Director Zhang was shocked, and his mind became a little clearer.
Good boy, you were waiting for him here? You got angry just because I said a few more words?
But he had to admit that apart from Lin Jiafan's handling methods which always made him terrified, he could be said to be quite worry-free in terms of manpower, funding and crime-solving rate.
"You always do things by stepping on the bottom line of the rules, and you don't even allow me to remind you?" After quickly weighing the pros and cons in his mind, Deputy Director Zhang's tone gradually softened.
As soon as he said this, his old face turned red uncontrollably, and he could only comfort himself: It's all for saving money for the bureau, so it's not shabby.
"The bottom line of the rules? Director Zhang, are you saying that I leveraged the power of the 'people' to effectively shorten the investigation process of a serious case?" Lin Jiafan raised his eyebrows, his expression very meaningful. "I thought the 'co-governance of the police and the people' you often talk about was not empty talk."
How does his behavior not support this view?
It's just putting labels on people, who doesn't know how to do that?
As expected, Deputy Director Zhang was nearly crushed by this sudden accusation. He opened and closed his mouth for a long time, but only uttered one sentence to express his final stubbornness: "If the case is not officially closed within two days, you will make a self-criticism at the general meeting!"
The slightly plump figure of the man as he hurriedly left also made all the police officers present laugh out loud.
Lin Jiafan exhaled silently, turned around and divided his colleagues into five groups, preparing to formally start sorting and inventorying Zhao Weiqing's personal belongings.
This case really cannot be dragged on any longer. The bodies of the two victims are still lying in the morgue. The deceased should be allowed to rest in peace sooner.
Thinking of this, he looked up at the tree in the yard and was surprised to find that it was empty.
Frowning slightly, Lin Jiafan didn't dwell on such a trivial matter for too long. He turned around and devoted himself to the work at hand.
As for Luo Jingyao, who had left early, she had now returned to the flower shop. In her opinion, those were all internal conflicts within the Public Security Bureau. Anyway, she had attended the lessons she was supposed to attend, so it was better not to look at other inappropriate things.
However, what she didn't expect was that she received a message from Lin Jiafan that night.
The police found many reports about the June 13 serial murders and the murderer Huang Guojun in Zhao Weiqing's personal belongings. These reports were carefully bound into books, and the wear and tear on the corners showed that someone had read them frequently.
I think it was through such self-hypnosis over and over again in countless late nights that Zhao Weiqing came to believe that he was the reincarnation of Huang Guojun.
Most importantly, the police also found a note in this booklet containing personal information of the victims Zhuo Meiling and Gong Lingling, and confirmed through handwriting comparison that it was written by Jiang Qi.
Jiang Qi's fingerprints were also found on both the note and the booklet.
Faced with such irrefutable evidence, Jiang Qi finally confessed to all the criminal facts, and the copycat murder case that shocked the entire Internet was officially solved.
Luo Jingyao was naturally very happy, and things seemed to be just as she expected. For a period of time afterwards, she did not see any crime scenes inexplicably.
In addition, she later received a temporary notice from the Jinshi Public Security Bureau saying that the special case investigation team had to go on a business trip for work and the physical education class was suspended.
In this way, she could focus on managing the business of the store, and her life was comfortable and enjoyable.
Half a month later.
Before dawn that day, Luo Jingyao and the shop assistant got on the truck they had hired in advance, and set off for the Marriott Hotel with a full box of flowers.
As a landmark building in the city 20 years ago, even today when five-star hotels are everywhere, the Marriott Hotel still retains some of its former glory.
After arriving at the hotel safely, Luo Jingyao first unloaded the flowers safely with the shop assistant, then went to greet the host of the wedding and confirm the wedding details, and then began to decorate the venue.
She was quick and agile, and in good physical condition, and finally completed the big order she had been longing for just as the sky was getting bright.
After hammering her aching lumbar spine with her hand, Luo Jingyao asked the shop assistant to take care of the venue and followed the signs to the bathroom.
The walls of the hotel's bathroom are covered with dark brown tiles, which give off a gloomy color under the dim light.
She randomly selected a cubicle, took two steps forward and opened the door.
The next second, a familiar feeling of dizziness suddenly hit me.
Luo Jingyao's breathing stopped, and when she opened her eyes again, she found herself in a deep mist.
Sizzle——
Accompanied by the sound of some food being poured into a boiling oil pan, she could barely make out her location through the mist. It should be the kitchen of a rural family.
Smelling the aroma of meat, Luo Jingyao couldn't help but feel confused.
Is cooking illegal these days?
Then she saw the chopping board on the ground, with a pile of bloody meat on it.
Gulp.
Swallowing hard, Luo Jingyao really didn't know what the various ingredients looked like, but under normal circumstances... pigs, cattle, and sheep should be...
No tattoos?!
