Xing Guodong's words startled Zhang Guoliang and Fu Junqiang, causing them to gasp in shock.
Although this case only happened in the early hours of this morning, the special circumstances surrounding the victim's identity and the location of the crime have led the higher authorities to attach great importance to it.
So the entire county's police force is investigating this matter, but they haven't made any progress.
How could Li Weidong, an ordinary person, actually provide clues and successfully catch the murderer?!
"My benefactor, what do you do for a living?"
Zhang Guoliang was incredibly surprised: "My men haven't found a single clue since the incident, but you solved it with just one sentence."
"That's absolutely amazing!"
Li Weidong smiled and said, "I'm just an ordinary farmer, but I know a little about divination. This time I only provided a general direction. The culprit will be caught if Captain Xing follows the clues."
Xing Guodong quickly said, "Brother Weidong, you're wrong. If you hadn't given me some direction, I would have racked my brains and still not come up with any clues about the murderer!"
After all, the motive for the murder in this case was simply too outrageous.
Who could have imagined that the deceased's death was caused by his mother's boasting?
Zhang Guoliang held Li Weidong's hand, feeling both grateful and ashamed: "My benefactor, we owe you so much for this! You even saved my daughter; you're a benefactor to the Zhang family, yet my men treated you like a murderer..."
At this point, he glared fiercely at Fu Junqiang.
Fu Junqiang's face turned pale, and he said awkwardly, "Mr. Li, I'm sorry, I misunderstood you."
Li Weidong smiled faintly: "It's a small matter, don't worry about it. But Captain Fu, you can't be so hasty when you arrest people next time."
“This time they arrested me, and I happen to know Captain Xing. If it were anyone else, they might have been forced to confess under torture.”
After all, if he hadn't known Xing Guodong, and if Fu Junqiang hadn't been Xing Guodong's competitor who wanted to find fault with him, he might have actually taken action.
If anyone had been wrongly accused today, they would have been in no way spared a beating.
Zhang Guoliang's expression changed instantly: "You still want to force a confession out of me?!"
Fu Junqiang panicked instantly and hurriedly shook his head: "It's a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding!"
As she spoke, she looked at Li Weidong pleadingly.
Li Weidong wasn't a saint, but he also didn't have the habit of kicking someone when they're down. He waved his hand and said, "Just be more careful next time."
"Yes, yes, my benefactor, don't worry, I will definitely keep them in line!"
Zhang Guoliang nodded repeatedly and said, "No matter what, you've been wronged this time, and it was all thanks to you that the murderer was caught. Feel free to make any requests you may have."
"We will try our best to meet your needs as long as it is within our capabilities."
According to the rules, the person who provides the clue should be rewarded.
Not to mention that Li Weidong was also wronged once.
Li Weidong shook his head and said, "No need for requests, I don't want anything. As for catching the murderer, the credit doesn't go to me. It's all thanks to Captain Xing's ability that the murderer was brought to justice."
"It's just a small favor I'm doing; it's really nothing."
Xing Guodong was both grateful and excited.
He was grateful that Li Weidong had given him all the credit for such a great achievement!
What excites me, of course, is that my promotion is almost certain!
As expected, Zhang Guoliang was in a great mood after hearing Li Weidong's words.
"Excellent, excellent! Our benefactor is indeed no ordinary person. He is not proud of his achievements, does not hold grudges, and is neither arrogant nor impatient. He is truly extraordinary!"
He looked at his secretary beside him: "Comrade Xing Guodong has demonstrated outstanding work performance, remarkable abilities, and significant achievements. It is hereby decided to promote him to the position of Deputy Director of the Public Security Bureau, effective immediately."
The secretary nodded quickly: "Yes!"
Xing Guodong was visibly shaken and overjoyed: "Thank you for your appreciation, Director! I will definitely continue to work hard!"
"As for Fu Junqiang..."
Zhang Guoliang looked at Fu Junqiang, whose face had turned pale.
"Arresting people without investigation almost led to a major disaster. This position in the criminal investigation team is no longer suitable for you. Go to the traffic police team from now on!"
"As for the vacant position of captain of the second team..."
He glanced at Xing Guodong: "Until we find a more suitable person, you can take on this role temporarily!"
"Yes, thank you, Director!"
Xing Guodong bowed sharply, unable to suppress the smile on his face.
I thought getting promoted was already awesome enough, but now I'm even in charge of the Criminal Investigation Team Two! It's like double happiness!
He looked at Li Weidong with admiration.
Li Weidong had previously told him he would be promoted, and he was skeptical, but now he has actually been promoted.
What else could this be but a god?!
Compared to Xing Guodong's joy, Fu Junqiang was ashen-faced, filled with deep regret.
He thought that by catching the murderer he would gain merit and the position of deputy director would be his for the taking.
In the end, the murderer was not caught; instead, the bureau chief's benefactor and the person who provided the clues to solve the case was caught.
Even plucking a tiger's mane from its mouth wouldn't be this bad, would it?
Now look what's happened! He's been transferred from the criminal investigation team to the traffic police team; he's lost all face and substance!
But it's too late to say anything now.
Fu Junqiang said dejectedly, "Okay, Director, I understand."
Zhang Guoliang didn't say anything more, then turned to Li Weidong: "My benefactor, the misunderstanding has been cleared up. I wonder if you'd be free later? Would you do me the honor of having a meal together..."
Before he could finish speaking, a commotion arose outside the door.
At the entrance.
Reeking of alcohol, Ji Dahai and with bloodshot eyes, Shen Xiaoyan, along with Zhao Xiulian and her daughter Li Xiaoli, were trying to force their way in through the door.
"You can't go in!"
The security guard said coldly, "What do you think the police station is, that you can just barge in like that?"
Ji Dahai was drunk and could barely speak, but he slurred, "Do you know who I am? Let me in!"
"I'm here to see your bureau chief!"
Shen Xiaoyan's face was also gloomy: "I know him, let us in first!"
Zhao Xiulian gripped Li Xiaoli's hand, her whole body trembling with nervousness.
Whether they can get their son out depends on Ji Dahai and Shen Xiaoyan's abilities!
"Mom, will my brother be alright...?"
Li Xiaoli's face was pale and full of worry.
"Wei Dong will definitely be alright!"
Shen Xiaoyan said with absolute certainty: "I will definitely get him out!"
As he spoke, his brain raced, trying to figure out how to get the person out.
She believed Li Weidong couldn't have killed anyone, but he had indeed been arrested and was unlikely to get out until the real culprit was found.
But is a police station a good place to stay?
A perfectly healthy person goes in and it's hard for them to get out without suffering a lot of pain. I have to find a way to get them out first, no matter what.
Ji Dahai nodded in agreement: "And me too. Don't worry, with me here, no one will be able to touch a hair on Brother Weidong's head!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than Li Weidong's voice came from inside the house: "Brother Ji, Sister Xiaoyan, Mom, what brings you here?"
