After returning to the criminal police team, Xu Yao quickly jumped out of the car and went straight to He Shenming's office.

Xu Yao is a person who does not trust others easily. Now the person he trusts the most is his master in the bureau.

In the eight years since he joined the police, Director He knows everything about him, tolerates and supports him, even though he sometimes gets into trouble.

"Master, I finally understand the meaning of intercepting Zhu Tao. His target of revenge is me." Without knocking, Xu Yao pushed open the door of He Shenming's office and said the first thing.

He Shenming was so shocked by Xu Yao that the teapot in his hand trembled. He could not help but be scolded by Deputy Director He:

"Xu Yao, do you still respect me as your master? You entered the office without knocking and yelled. I have told you many times that we criminal police must be steady and patient in our work."

Xu Yao said a few perfunctory words of apology and continued to talk about the main point,

"Master, I would like to ask you to give me a certificate. I want to re-investigate the incident of Li Mengyao smashing the stage and causing it to collapse."

He Shenming's eyes widened, "Xu Yao, this matter has passed. I advise you not to find ways to investigate it further."

"But Master, you promised me before that you could reopen the investigation of this matter. Do you want to go back on your word?" Xu Yao asked his master relentlessly. "

Master, can I ask you for one more favor? If I reopen the investigation, I want to check the case files of my two ex-girlfriends' accidental deaths."

After hearing this, He Shenming said firmly, "How dare you! I can't agree to the latter condition. What did I tell you before? You can investigate, but you can only investigate the case of Li Mengyao.

Because these cases are all your personal affairs, and they have been closed for so long. If I reopen them, even if I give you the green light, the people above will accuse me of partiality. Xu Yao had no choice but to compromise ,

"Then let's do it according to Master's wishes. Now give me a certificate, I want to go to the data room to get the case files."

He Shenming put down his teacup, sat on a chair, and asked slowly, "What did you say when you just came in and yelled? What did you say was directed at you?"

Xu Yao suddenly felt that now was not the opportunity to confess, and hurriedly fooled away, "Master, you heard wrong."

He Shenming sighed and shook his head. In fact, he really didn't continue to pursue the matter, but still approved the consent document.

Director He asked his assistant to move all the files and information related to Li Mengyao's stage collapse into his office.

Five minutes later, the information and files were delivered. Xu Yao immediately sat at the table and began to read them carefully one by one.

"When you were investigating, the person in charge of the stage construction was this Li Fu, right?"

He Shenming put a lot of effort into this case. He had also secretly conducted a careful investigation, so he was most familiar with the course of this case.

"Yes, it was the man named Li Fu, who was in charge of the stage construction. It was because of his negligence and cutting corners that the stage could not withstand the strong wind and collapsed.

The main reason for the collapse of the stage was that Li Fu used inferior bolts."

He Shenming added: "With my many years of experience in handling cases, I have not found any doubts in all aspects of the case. You really don't need to review it again."

Xu Yao didn't think so. He wanted to confirm it himself, and use his own eyes and feelings to determine the whole story.

Xu Yao went to S City alone to investigate that day.

S City Prison.

Xu Yao met Li Fu in the interrogation room. He was filled with resentment in his heart, but he still held back and asked straight to the point:

"I am Xu Yao, a criminal policeman from Kuala Kangsar. Now I want to ask you a few questions. Please cooperate. What

I want to ask is about the stage collapse case that led to your imprisonment."

Li Fu had a gloomy face and sat there without saying a word, with his hands folded on his legs.

Xu Yao asked, "You were the person in charge of the on-site construction of the ballet group's performance on April 16 this year, right?"

Li Fu frowned, but still nodded and said seriously, "Comrade police officer, I have answered this question hundreds of times, and I have admitted that I reduced materials and caused the accident, and I have also been sentenced. What else do you want to know?"

Li Fu looked so arrogant that Xu Yao really wanted to punch him, but he still endured and said calmly:

"Li Fu, don't be so rude. It is your duty as a citizen to cooperate with the police. Don't worry, this is definitely the last time I will ask you."

Li Fu spread his hands nonchalantly and nodded, "Okay, whatever you want to ask, I will answer you truthfully."

Xu Yao asked again, "When did the construction of the stage start? When was it completed? Do you still remember it now?"

"I can only vaguely remember that we started to build it late that day, probably around 11pm. Our entire team worked very hard to catch up with the rehearsal the next morning. I remember that we finished the construction at around 4:30pm."

Xu Yao asked again, "I remember that there were strong gusts of wind in the square on the day of the performance. Did you take any protective measures at that time?"

Li Fu replied unhappily, "Of course we had to take protective measures. Our team has a lot of experience in construction. In order to make the stage more stable, I also used a truck to tow a truckload of counterweight sandbags and reinforced the iron frame."

It would have been fine if he hadn't mentioned reinforcement. As soon as he mentioned reinforcement, Xu Yao flew into a rage and his voice increased by several decibels.

"Reinforcement, you still have the nerve to say that. If using inferior bolts for reinforcement is also a protective measure, the stage would not have collapsed.

If the stage did not collapse, there would not be an excellent dancer who could not dance from then on and had to spend the rest of her life sitting in a wheelchair."

When Xu Yao said this, veins popped out, he covered his fist, suppressed his anger, and spat out word by word from between his teeth.

Li Fu covered his face with his hands, feeling a little guilty, and said in annoyance: "The counterweights I asked the workers to bring are definitely enough. Based on my many years of experience in construction, nothing will go wrong. Who knows..."

"Nothing will go wrong, absolutely nothing will go wrong?!"

Xu Yao snorted coldly and continued, "You think that as long as the stage is equipped enough, it will be stable. In this way, even if you use inferior fixing bolts during the construction process, there will still be no problem, right?"

Li Fu began to quibble, "This really won't be a problem. I'm not the only one who does this. There are many people in the entire industry who do this, but there have never been any problems."

Xu Yao felt very sad when he heard this. These human bad habits are all about their own interests and don't care about the lives of others.

He shook his head and shouted loudly, "Li Fu! Do you know that the mistake you made caused the stage to collapse and injured a person.

And now you are here to tell me a lot of reasons. Do you still have a conscience?"

Li Fu was silent and said nothing.
