Chapter 396 Anonymous Report
Monday, May 6th.
On this day in the previous life, the grand case officially occurred.
In this life, the grand case has already happened for a week.
On the surface, it seemed that the grand case of this life was making amazing progress. The deceased was identified, the head was found, the murder weapon was found, and the suspect was identified.
But only Zhou Yi knew that the development trend of this strange case was even more terrifying than the previous life.
The grand case of the previous life can only be said to be completely clueless.
This life has become confusing.
After leaving Wu Yongcheng's house last night, Zhou Yi finally returned to his home after more than half a month.
After opening the door, Zhou Yi found that there was no stale smell in the room that came from not being ventilated for a long time.
But he immediately understood that it was probably because his parents often came to ventilate the house.
He fell asleep and slept until the next morning. Then he got up, took a shower, changed his clothes, cooked a bowl of noodles and prepared to go out.
Anyway, everyone except me is in the grand task force of the Third Brigade, so it doesn't matter whether I go early or late.
I was slurping my noodles when the door opened.
When Zhou Yi looked up, he saw his father Zhou Jianguo.
"Oh, you're back." Zhou Jianguo was surprised. "When did you come back?"
"Last night."
"Oh, why do you take so long this time?" Zhou Jianguo walked into the room and asked.
"Yeah, there's a lot to do." Zhou Yi answered vaguely, then lowered his head to eat noodles.
Before returning to Hongcheng from Anyuan, he did not call his parents to tell them. He had originally thought that he would go to find Lu Xiaoshuang first after returning to Hongcheng, then take her to his parents' house for a meal, and then take care of her safely and steadily until he had solved the Hongda case.
In the end, everything happened too suddenly.
After the Hongda case happened, he certainly had no time and energy to contact his parents, and he didn't even go home.
"It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back. Your mother and grandfather are worried all day long." Zhou Jianguo didn't dare to say that a few days ago, Zhang Qiuxia was watching a TV series in which the policeman was shot dead by the bad guys. She was reminded of the bad guys by the sight of the policeman and secretly hid away to wipe away her tears.
"Xiao Shuang hasn't come these days. Is she busy?" Zhou Jianguo asked.
"Well, Xiaoshuang went to the provincial capital."
"Going to the provincial capital? What's the matter?"
"You won't understand what's going on at school even if I tell you."
"Oh, I'm glad the child is okay. When she comes back, why don't you bring her home for dinner? Your uncle sent some homemade bacon over, but your mom wouldn't let your grandpa and I eat it. She said she wanted to wait for you and Xiaoshuang to come."
Zhou Yi nodded. He had just finished his noodles, touched his mouth and said, "I see. Tell my mother not to worry. I'll bring her back to see you guys after I'm done with my work."
It is best not to let the elderly know about this kind of thing, especially middle-aged or elderly women like your own mother who are nagging.
Saying that Xiaoshuang went to the provincial capital can also prevent her mother from going to school on a whim one day. If they heard about this, they would be so worried that they would die.
But there is no use in rushing to death.
The only way to help Lu Xiaoshuang escape is to find out the real culprit behind the scenes who spans two lifetimes.
"Dad, I'm going to work." Zhou Yi said, picking up the keys and preparing to go out.
"Son." Zhou Jianguo shouted.
"What's wrong?"
Zhou Jianguo came over, tilted his neck and helped Zhou Yi turn up his collar: "This collar is not done properly. You must have been busy recently. You look thinner."
Zhou Yi saw that his father's eyes were a little moist and there was white hair on his head, and he felt touched.
He smiled and said, "I haven't lost weight. The food at work is good. You should take care of yourselves. I'm busy with work and don't have time to take care of you."
"It's okay, just go ahead." Zhou Jianguo said with a smile.
Zhou Jianguo stood on the corridor of the tube building and saw Zhou Yi walking hurriedly downstairs.
Suddenly, Zhou Yi, who was walking forward, turned around and looked upstairs, then waved at him.
At that moment, he seemed to see the young man wearing the red scarf, who was in the same position and turned around to wave at him.
"My son has really grown up." Zhou Jianguo smiled and waved his hand, but tears of relief couldn't stop flowing down.
…
Actually, Zhou Yi has nothing to do now that he has returned to the Municipal Bureau.
Although Wu Yongcheng did not mention the anonymous report, the fact that there was no investigation targeting him indicated that it was not made public.
At this critical juncture, it is certainly better for the city leaders to have less trouble than more.
Although finding an internship is nothing, it will still have a bad impact if it becomes a big deal. The best way is to deal with it calmly.
But everyone, from top to bottom, must have known that Zhou Yi was not part of the task force, and it was inevitable that they would speculate on the reason.
After all, before this, Zhou Yi was already a prominent figure in the Municipal Bureau.
So today Zhou Yi discovered that the people around him looked at him strangely.
Of course he knew why, but he could only pretend to be relaxed.
Because he hasn't figured out how to solve this problem yet.
To be more precise, I couldn't think of a suitable solution.
Sitting in the empty office of the Third Brigade, Zhou Yi couldn't help feeling a little sad. The sun was shining brightly outside the window.
He thought of the night he was reborn, when he walked into the office of the Third Brigade for the first time in this life.
That night, it rained heavily.
It seems like yesterday.
Zhou Yi was feeling melancholy when a head suddenly popped up at the door.
"Team Stone?"
Shi Tao's round head appeared at the door.
"You are here." Shi Tao walked in and said with a smile.
"I'm the only one here, so I have nothing to do. Captain Shi, do you need any help?"
"Forget it. My people have all been borrowed by the task force. Aren't they all helping with this case now?"
"Why didn't you go to Team Shi?"
Shi Tao sat down and said, "Hey, I'm just being lazy. I'm indifferent to fame and fortune. I'll let them take the credit."
Zhou Yi stood up, poured him a glass of water, and smiled.
Of what Shi Tao said, only the first three words are true.
Zhou Yi knew that he was the kind of person who could easily take the credit by being lazy. He seemed unreliable on the surface, but was actually very reliable at critical moments.
So it is normal for him to be lazy when everyone else is busy.
The two idle people started chatting, mainly talking about the follow-up progress of the two cases they had handled with the second team. It can be seen that Shi Tao was quite touched that Zhou Yi gave him the credit for catching Lao Qiang.
As they chatted, Shi Tao asked, "Zhou Yi, did you offend anyone?"
Zhou Yi smiled bitterly: "I want to know too. Captain Shi, you are a leader and an experienced senior. How about you help me analyze it?"
Shi Tao glanced towards the door, then leaned over and whispered, "I think it's just that your performance has been too outstanding recently, and someone is jealous and making some small moves behind your back."
As he spoke, he glanced upwards.
Zhou Yi knew who he was talking about and said with a smile: "Team Shi is still the best, he's not so petty."
"Of course, we're family. Old Wu and I are definitely hoping that you youngsters will do better and better, so that we old guys can slack off. But they're here to gild their reputations. If you perform too well, it'll affect their ability to brag to the leaders, don't you think?"
Zhou Yi smiled faintly. This Captain Ni was really unpopular.
"Captain Shi, this isn't the person you think."
Shi Tao was surprised and asked, "Are you sure?"
Zhou Yi nodded.
"Oh...so that's it..." Shi Tao was a little embarrassed.
However, Zhou Yi knew that the other party was also doing this for his own good, so he said, "Don't worry, Captain Shi, this is just a temporary matter and will be resolved soon. I still have a lot to learn from you and Captain Wu in the future."
"That's good. Since you know what's going on, I won't say anything more." Shi Tao stood up and said, "Anyway, if you need any help in the future, just ask. I, Shi Tao, will definitely help you, Zhou Yi."
Zhou Yi really wanted to go up and give Shi Tao a hug. A friend in need is a friend indeed. At this critical moment, Shi Tao's words were truly a timely help.
But Zhou Yi held back. It was inappropriate for two grown men to hug each other in the office. If someone saw them, they would think he couldn't make it in the Third Brigade and had to cling to the Second Brigade.
After seeing Shi Tao off, Zhou Yi began to think about what to do.
After thinking about it for a whole day, I still couldn't find a solution. In the end, I could only sigh helplessly.
Outside the window, it was already dark.
I didn't do anything that day, and I don't know how Lu Xiaoshuang is doing in the provincial capital. Someone as smart as her might have noticed something unusual.
Zhou Yi sighed softly again, but when he looked up, he found someone walking in.
Surprised, "Why are you back?"
…
At this moment, in the director's office upstairs.
Xie Guoqiang, sitting in the chair, had a dark face.
On the desk in front of him was a manila envelope with three crooked words written on it: Report Letter.
The person standing opposite him was Wu Yongcheng.
Wu Yongcheng said nothing. Xie Guoqiang threw the letter of complaint in front of him and said coldly, "This is an anonymous complaint letter received by the inspection department this afternoon."
Wu Yongcheng was surprised: "An anonymous report? Reporting Zhou Yi again?"
As he said that, he picked up the letter of complaint.
Xie Guoqiang said angrily: "This time I'm reporting you!"
Wu Yongcheng was shocked: "What? Report me? Are you kidding me? I'm an upright person. Apart from smoking a little too much, what other stains can be reported?" As he said that, he opened the envelope, pulled out a piece of letter from it, and read it with confusion and a hint of anger.
Wu Yongcheng just watched and said nothing.
"Thank you...thank you Director..." Wu Yongcheng put the envelope and letter paper back on the table with some embarrassment.
Xie Guoqiang asked gloomily, "Tell me the truth, was Lu Xiaoshuang's internship at the tax bureau arranged by Zhou Yi or you?"
Wu Yongcheng sighed, "Well, I admit, I did ask my acquaintances at the tax bureau for help."
"What is your relationship with Lu Xiaoshuang?" Xie Guoqiang looked at him and asked.
"It's okay. Director Xie, please don't listen to the nonsense in this letter. I'm an old man, how could I possibly be thinking about a girl of eighteen or nineteen? I helped her find a job simply because I felt sorry for her. A top student working as a waitress, so I just wanted to help her. If you don't believe me, just follow the normal investigation procedures, investigate thoroughly, and clear my name!"
Xie Guoqiang slammed the table and shouted angrily, "Wu Yongcheng, Wu Yongcheng, don't you know what's going on? Investigating you at this critical moment? You want to embarrass Hongcheng in front of the comrades from the provincial department, right?"
Wu Yongcheng frowned and said aggrievedly: "How could I have imagined it would be like this..."
"Alright, I'll hold onto this report for now and wait until the grand case is over. As for you, put aside your work for the task force and take sick leave."
