Chapter 30 Chapter 30 (Second update) Getting clues from Old Ji...
Twenty minutes later, Ji Yinhe was holding a chocolate sundae and walking dully on the streets of Jiangtan, where the autumn atmosphere was in full swing.
Teacher Lu is leaving tomorrow... To be honest, she feels a little lost.
Of course, that face, which was more handsome than that of a celebrity, made her reluctant to leave, but more importantly, Lu Zheng, like her, was considered an "outsider" in the Serious Crime Squad.
In this team, Tang Ci, Che Zhiwen and Cheng Mo have been working together for several years. They are familiar with each other and have a tacit understanding. They often make jokes with each other that only they understand.
Although Xiao Wu joined the team last year, his style of doing things is more like Tang Ci, and he is recognized as the captain's apprentice.
Although Ye Qing is a policewoman, she spends most of her time in the autopsy room and doesn't interact much with them.
But Lu Zheng is different.
Although they had only known each other for more than half a month, Ji Yinhe had unknowingly developed a revolutionary friendship with him based on immense trust.
In the previous case, she ran to Lijing Nightclub late at night, and only Lu Zheng rushed over in the first time; Lu Zheng would also lend her books, encourage her to study criminal psychology on her own, stand by her when everyone was questioning her, and guessed that she would go to the airport after the case was closed, and kept Su Yue's secret with her.
If she had to choose a teammate who would turn his back to the opponent... her answer would not be Tang Ci, but Lu Zheng.
But how could she forget that he was not a criminal police officer from the municipal bureau, and he would naturally have to go back to the provincial department after helping.
Ji Yinhe sighed sadly and couldn't eat the sundae in his hand. Most of it had melted into sticky cream soup.
"What's wrong?" Lu Zheng took the plastic cup from her hand and threw it into the trash can next to her. "Don't you like the taste?"
"no."
Ji Yinhe raised her eyes. A sycamore leaf swirled down from his handsome, straight nose. She stared at his beauty for two seconds before admitting frankly, "I just didn't expect you to return to Jingzhou so soon. I don't know when we'll see each other again."
Lu Zheng's deep eyes smiled, and he sighed, "Officer Xiao Ji is so outstanding, he will definitely have the opportunity to be promoted to the provincial department."
Ji Yinhe stopped, clenched his fists, and nodded very seriously.
Although Teacher Lu is a good person, she will never allow herself to become dependent on him.
What she has to do is to make the other party her target, grow into a police officer who is more powerful than him, and make all the bad guys terrified of the three words "Ji Yinhe"!
*
Even though he had prepared himself mentally, Ji Yinhe was still sad for two seconds when he saw that Lu Zheng's seat had been cleaned and empty when he went to work on Monday, and that a dozen or so volumes of internal public security documents left by him were neatly stacked on his desk.
She put down her bag, took a deep breath, and decided to go to the director's office to get her bonus first.
As soon as I stepped into the corridor on the sixth floor, I heard the deafening voice of Section Chief Ding from the Personnel Department.
"...Wow! You said Xiao Tang's fiancée is Principal Tan's daughter? I know her! She's lived across the street from me for over ten years!"
Rao just laughed out loud, "When they get married, won't you be able to take the seat?"
"Of course! I watched Yaxin grow up, so the red envelope should be at least this amount!"
Seeing that the two of them were chatting happily, Ji Yinhe decided to come back later.
Unexpectedly, the sharp-eyed Rao just saw her head move away from the door, raised his hand and greeted her, "Xiao Ji is here? Wait a few minutes, Lao Ding and I only have a few words left."
Ji Yinhe had no choice but to retract his steps and stand quietly in the corridor outside the director's office.
Unexpectedly, the two old men were both gossipy, and the topic turned to how Tang Ci and Tan Yaxin were arranged to be married by their parents.
"Yaxin is a playful girl. She was very rebellious during her adolescence, and her grades weren't good either, which caused her parents a lot of worry!" Section Chief Ding said, sipping his tea. "Xiao Tang is Principal Tan's student and the class monitor! He's a good student and a steady person, but his family's financial situation is a bit difficult. His father passed away early, and his mother's health is not good. He almost couldn't even go to college... Principal Tan was so distressed that he paid for Xiao Tang to attend the police academy out of his own pocket. When I went for the political review when I was recruiting, Xiao Tang was very frank. He has long regarded me as half a father!"
Ji Yinhe, who was forced to listen in the corridor, was shocked. He had never thought that Captain Tang had such a dark past.
In the office, Director Rao sighed, "It's a pity that good people don't live long!"
Section Chief Ding sighed, "Cancer, who could have predicted it... But how did Xiao Tang and Ya Xin get better?"
"Well, I heard that before Old Tan left, he entrusted his wife and children to Xiao Tang, asking him to help take care of them..." Director Rao said, "I guess Xiao Tang wanted to repay his gratitude. The two children are of similar age and grew up together. They know each other very well, so it's natural for them to be together!"
"Yes, things are still chaotic these days, and the family needs a man."
"But I heard they've had their engagement party for two or three years now," Director Rao said meaningfully. "I don't know what's going on with Little Tang. He keeps putting off the wedding. He's almost 30 and he's in no rush... As a parent, I think this is inappropriate. He's completely irresponsible to a girl! Old Ding, find a chance to talk to him later. Work is important, but family matters have to get on with things, too!"
"Okay! Leave it to me!"
Section Chief Ding responded as he walked out the door. Suddenly, he saw Ji Yinhe still squatting in the corridor and said with a smile, "Congratulations, Xiao Ji! You got the title of Case Handler without even being a regular employee. You're truly worthy of being trained by Xiao Tang!"
"Hey, thank you, Chief Ding! I also have to thank Director Rao and you for your careful guidance!"
Ji Yinhe rubbed his hands and walked into the director's office in a servile manner.
Rao happened to see her, hummed, and took out an envelope from the drawer. "Take the bonus first. The meeting will be held at 9 o'clock in the morning, and the certificate will be awarded to you on the spot."
Ji Yinhe weighed a heavy stack of banknotes and opened his eyes wide with excitement.
Old Ji and Ms. Lian never shortchanged her pocket money, but this was earned by her own ability!
This feels so good!
Rao Zhengzheng looked at her with a smile, "I didn't expect that the first person in our municipal bureau to receive both a silk banner and a provincial award this year would be a new police beauty... Comrade Xiao Ji, don't let the leaders and the people down! Work hard, your future is limitless!"
Ji Yinhe thought of the "Save My Cat's Life" banner at the office door, straightened his back and chuckled twice, "Thank you, Director Rao, I will definitely work hard!"
Rao just hummed, "Go get busy."
Ji Yinhe walked to the door with the bonus in his pocket, and turned his head away, wanting to say something but stopping himself.
Rao just raised his eyebrows, "Anything else?"
"It's not a big deal." Ji Yinhe said worriedly, "Director Rao, I've been sorting out the case files on the Lijing Nightclub case and preparing to hand it over to the procuratorate. I found a suspicious point... that bottle of rape water."
Rao Zhenghao folded his fingers and said seriously: "I remember there are some discrepancies in the case. Su Yiyun and Tong An both refused to admit their intentions towards Su Yue."
"But that half bottle of alcohol did appear at the scene." Ji Yinhe said solemnly, "It doesn't matter whether it was Su Yue or Su Yiyun who started it. The key is... how did this stuff get circulated in Jiangtan? And these drug dealers are very likely involved in drugs!"
"Hmm, you're raising a question." Rao Zhenghao tapped his index finger on the table and pulled out a stack of stationery. "The third team in charge of drug control just submitted their monthly report last week. We haven't found any relevant leads in Jiangtan yet, but there are quite a few in the surrounding cities... But I'll have them keep a close eye on them during this period."
"Okay..." Ji Yinhe puffed out his cheeks.
She strongly suspected that the person who supplied the drugs to Su Yue was related to the "rich second generation drug trafficker" mentioned by Lao Ji, but she had no evidence, no one would believe it, and she couldn't say it out loud.
Ji Yinhe tapped the ground with his toes and asked tentatively, "Maybe the other party is very skilled and lurking in the streets and alleys, and we haven't discovered him yet..."
"Are you trying to make a name for yourself so soon?" Rao Zhengzheng laughed. "Your guess isn't impossible, but the probability is very low... Those cities northeast of Handong have been making great strides in drug control over the past two years, and they've even established drug control bureaus. And in Lianghe next door, they arrested a bunch of drug traffickers last year. It's possible some of the criminals have fled to Jiangtan. I'll keep an eye on it, but if I do find anything, I'll hand it over to Team Three for investigation. Do you understand?"
"Understood. I will definitely focus on handling the cases of the Serious Crime Squad One."
"Yeah." Rao Zhenghao stood up with satisfaction, "Let's go, it's time to go to the conference room downstairs to present you with the award."

That night, Meiqingyuan.
Ms. Lian served the first batch of fried chicken she had developed. Old Ji and Little Ji each grabbed a large wing root and chatted about today's trivial matters while chewing on them.
Ji Yinhe was just talking about Lu Zheng going back to Jingzhou. Lian Qiao sat down beside him with a look of shock on her face. "Will Mr. Lu come to Jiangtan again?"
"Oh, I don't know either." Ji Yinhe expressed his admiration for Ms. Lian's cooking skills by eating a clean chicken bone, and said casually, "Maybe I'll never see her again."
Lian Qiao looked regretful, "Teacher Lu is so nice, he's even more handsome than your dad!"
“I wasn’t bad when I was young!”
Comrade Ji Jianguo was indignant. He looked for old photos and showed off his arm muscles, vowing to regain the title of the most handsome man in Jiangtan in front of his wife, which made Lian Qiao laugh.
While his parents were having fun, Ji Yinhe wiped his hands, went back to the house and got the certificate.
"Ahem." She cleared her throat and announced loudly, "I won an award! The title of expert in handling cases awarded by the provincial department!"
This move really attracted the attention of Mr. Ji and Ms. Lian.
Ji Jianguo stopped flexing his muscles and patted Ji Yinhe on the shoulder, sighing, "I never thought a low-energy rat like me could raise such an amazing daughter!"
"It's a good thing you don't set a bad example for Yinhe!" Lian Qiao glared at her husband, snatched the certificate, and looked at it again and again. "I'm so glad I started raising my child more than ten years ago! It really paid off!"
Ji Yinhe: “…”
What is a low-energy rat person? What is a chicken baby?
But now was not the time to ask these words that she didn't understand. She drank her ice cola slowly, thinking about how to get the clue about "rich second generation drug dealer" from Old Ji.
"By the way, the murderers in the two cases I handled turned out to be bosses!" Ji Yinhe started stiffly and asked, "Are there any other big bosses in Jiangtan? Otherwise, I will investigate them all. Maybe I can get a third-class merit next time!"
Lian Qiao's face turned pale. "...Don't try to trick me! Even though my shop is small, it's almost one of the top ten restaurants in Jiangtan!"
"Oh, Mom, I'm here to take care of things, so there won't be any problems." Ji Yinhe hugged Ms. Lian's arm and shook it, "But you can't be sure about others~"
Lian Qiao couldn't help but pinch her daughter's lovely and energetic face, while Ji Jianguo next to her had quickly pulled out a copy of Jiangtan Evening News.
"In that case, in order for Comrade Yinhe to protect the peace of Jiangtan, I will reluctantly introduce him to you!" Comrade Ji cleared his throat and unfolded the local economic page. "Mr. Gong Chenggong, who is at the top of this list, is the boss I once served... oh no, the one I worked for!"
Ji Yinhe opened his eyes wide and looked carefully at the person in the newspaper who was intimidating without even getting angry.
"Boss Gong believes industry is king. His companies are involved in many industries, the most famous of which is ceramics. I heard they're collaborating with some art academy and looking at exports... Oh, and last year his family moved into Jinghu Villa. You've heard of that villa complex, right? It's the most expensive area for the wealthy in Jiangtan, with prices comparable to Jingzhou!"
Lian Qiao was curious, "Gong Chenggong is still the boss himself? Didn't he let the two young masters at home practice?"
Ji Jianguo shrugged. "Then I don't know. Now let's look at the runner-up, Niu Yuanzhong, selling melon seeds. I'm not very familiar with this..."
Ji Yinhe listened distractedly, and had already made a judgment in his mind:
Old Ji knows the top spot so well that he even worked as a driver for this family.
It seems that this rich second-generation drug dealer... is most likely one of Gong Chenggong's two sons!
*
Five hours later.
Comrade Xiao Ji, who suffered from insomnia, tossed and turned in bed, his mind full of thoughts on how to get close to Gong Chenggong, the richest man in Jiangtan.
Old Ji said that his family lives in Jinghu Villa... Since they have just moved into such a big house, they will definitely need a group of cleaners, nannies, servants and housekeepers.
Or why not just try to apply for the job and go undercover in the Gong family to get clues?
However, Director Rao and Captain Tang might not agree. What’s more, if they find nothing after sneaking in, it might even delay the team’s important work.
Ji Yinhe turned over and gave up the idea. The autumn wind made the curtains tremble slightly. The crescent moon hung in the dark blue night sky, casting a layer of clear and pure light on the glass wind chimes hanging by the window.
At this moment, a beeping sound suddenly came from the quiet bedroom.
The pager on the bedside table rang!
A paging call in the middle of the night must be about a major case! Ji Yinhe jumped up, glanced at the number, and rushed to the living room to call back.
Tang Ci's voice sounded calmly from the other end of the phone: "A major police incident has been discovered in Qingyi River. Don't ride your bike. We're coming from the police station now and will pick you up on the way. See you at the entrance of Meiqingyuan in five minutes."
"good!!!"
Ji Yinhe looked at the vast night outside and felt his blood boiling instantly!
