I don't know when the wind stopped.
The world returned to peace.
Early in the morning, Li Lin, wearing only thermal underwear, opened the window and looked out.
I saw several sanitation workers cleaning up fallen leaves and garbage on the ground.
The rustling sound of the broom sweeping across the ground reminds people of many similar images.
For a moment, he felt that life was a constant repetition of yesterday, how sad!
He closed the window, went to the bathroom to take a hot shower, put on his clothes, and fastened the belt Xu Wen had given him.
Li Lin walked out of the house and went straight to Qi Xu's room.
As soon as they met, he got straight to the point and said, "Director Qi, I want to interrogate Chu Yao. Please make the arrangements."
The tone didn't sound like a negotiation, but an order.
Qi Xu, who was making tea, was stunned for a moment when he heard Li Lin's words. He was awakened by the water in the cup until it overflowed. He quickly took out a tissue to wipe the water stains on the table. While wiping, he asked in confusion, "Director Li, why did you suddenly think of trying Chu Yao in person? You don't have to worry. Xiao Qu and the others are very experienced in handling cases and will be able to conclude the trial quickly."
He wiped the water off the table and threw the soaked tissue into the trash can. Then he walked up to Li Lin and said with a look of good for him, "Director Li, investigating a case is not as simple as you think. There are many tricks involved, and it is very tiring and hard. I suggest you stay at the base camp and wait for good news."
On the surface, he was doing this for Li Lin's own good, but in reality, he just didn't want Li Lin to mess up their original interrogation plan, and he was afraid that Li Lin, an outsider, would delay the interrogation. Most importantly, he was also afraid that Li Lin would accidentally convince Chu Yao to plead guilty, and then wouldn't their credit be taken away?
Besides, Qu Junfeng and the other two had already spent a lot of energy on Chu Yao. If they persisted a little longer, Chu Yao might confess! It would be a pity to let Li Lin intervene and take away the credit at this time!
But Li Lin could sense Qi Xu's thoughts through his tone and expression.
Li Lin didn't want to play this kind of hypocritical game with him. He just smiled and said firmly, "Director Qi, you don't have to worry about me. Just give me an hour of interrogation time. It won't delay the overall progress of the case. You hurry up and make arrangements. I'll go to the interrogation room and wait!"
After saying that, Li Lin turned around and left without waiting for Qi Xu's reply.
His tone was unquestionable.
Qi Xu, the usually arrogant director of the inspection office, just smacked his lips, shook his head reluctantly and sighed, and finally did not dare to refute a word.
Seeing Li Lin push the door open and leave, Qi Xu hesitated for a moment, then picked up the phone on the table and called Qu Junfeng, ordering, "Cooperate with Li Lin to interrogate Chu Yao. Remember, manage your time well. No matter if there is any progress in an hour, remind him to end the interrogation!"
After hanging up the phone, his eyes suddenly tightened, thinking to himself, what is wrong with Li Lin? Isn't it good to be a special commissioner of the provincial party committee? Why do you have to show off your ability to try cases? Isn't this asking for trouble? ... Humph, let's see what tricks you can come up with!
Just one hour! Qu Junfeng and other professional investigators have not made any progress in the whole day and night. Li Lin is a layman who knows nothing. Qi Xu doesn't believe that he can pry open Chu Yao's mouth! He won't believe it even if he is beaten to death!
...
Qu Junfeng was also deeply surprised when he received Qi Xu's order.
Although he and Tong Zhiyong were slow in investigating the case, they still made some progress. They believed that if they could persist for another day or two, they would make great progress.
But why did Qi Xu suddenly lose his patience with them? Why did he suddenly ask them to cooperate with Li Lin in the investigation?
Li Lin is just an outsider with a false reputation and no experience in handling cases. What can he do?
He frowned, looked at Tong Zhiyong unhappily, and complained, "We have worked so hard for so long, and we are about to reap the rewards, but suddenly Li Lin shows up... What is he trying to do? To show off his authority, or to think he is so great? He wants us to cooperate with him in solving the case... Isn't this funny? What does he know? Damn..."
Tong Zhiyong sighed and said, "Director Qi is the same. He was soft when he should have been tough! How can we let Li Lin do whatever he wants? What if Chu Yao is provoked to resist again? Wouldn't our previous efforts be in vain? I really don't know what the leaders were thinking to send such a person!"
Qu Junfeng shook his head helplessly, feeling extremely angry.
But think about it, love is what it is!
Anyway, they are just subordinates. If there is any problem, Qi Xu and Li Lin will take responsibility. Why should they care about them?
"Forget it, stop talking. Just follow orders! It doesn't matter if the case is not handled well, but don't offend the leader because of this matter, it will not be worth it! Anyway, we are just soldiers, let them do whatever they want! When he can't figure out the case, he will come back and ask us to intervene!"
Qu Junfeng sneered, imagining the embarrassing scene of Li Lin being scolded by Chu Yao. He believed that by then Li Lin would know his own weight and would never show off again.
The two men walked out of the room one after another and went to the interrogation room to meet Li Lin.
At this time, Li Lin had already sat down steadily in the presiding judge's seat.
Seeing Qu Junfeng and Tong Zhiyong coming in, Li Lin calmly asked them, "Did you bring the people?"
Qu Junfeng's expression changed very quickly, and there was no trace of the gritting of teeth just now. He said to Li Lin with a smile on his face, "Oh, the police have gone to take people away. You don't know, Chu Yao is a very procrastinating woman. She always has to take a bath before being interrogated. I think we have to wait a while..."
"Oh?" Li Lin looked puzzled, then frowned and said, "Time is tight, how can we wait? Ask someone to hurry and bring the person here within ten minutes! Can you do it?"
