Chapter 45: Tearing Off the Mask (Part 2)
In the end, Xia Beibei still did not enter the crime scene. Dong Zhan forced her to go back and change her clothes on the grounds that her clothes were inappropriate, which was not a big deal.
The trouble was that Dong Zhan used her relationship with Gao Bochuan as an excuse to prevent her from following up on the case, and even sent her on a business trip to handle other cases. He believed that she would add personal feelings to the case, so he did not allow her to follow up on the case and even sent her on a business trip to handle other cases.
Xia Beibei knew he did it on purpose, so she went to his office and made a big fuss. When the fuss was getting serious, her uncle Zhou Mingwei called.
"Beibei, stop making trouble. Dong Zhan was appointed as the leader of this special task force after research by the bureau. This decision was naturally made after considering many aspects. All you have to do is cooperate with him. Since he doesn't want you to participate in this case, you don't have to go."
After Xia Beibei made a scene, she was about to call for help. Well, now she saved the phone bill. She threw the documents in her hand at Dong Zhan, who was hiding behind a chair and looking at her smugly, then slammed the door and walked out.
When she passed by the interrogation room, she happened to see Maureen coming out. She was annoyed and walked around Maureen and went straight forward, but Maureen grabbed her arm.
"Xia Beibei, why are you hiding? Are you feeling guilty? Where did you go that night? Why weren't you with my brother and me? You were the one who killed that person. Give him back to my brother!"
She raised her hand to slap her again, but Xia Beibei quickly grabbed her wrist, slowly narrowed her eyes, and stared at Maureen with a gloomy face. The hostility in her body scared Maureen.
"You...what are you doing? I'm warning you, you'd better let me go quickly, otherwise I'll...ah"
Xia Beibei's eyes were bloodshot, and her wrist had been scratched by Maureen's nails, with blood oozing out of the skin. No matter how Maureen struggled and tried to bend her fingers, she just wouldn't let go, and even used force with her fingertips as if to crush Maureen's wrist.
The situation was getting out of control, and many criminal police came to try to stop it. In the end, it was Lin Qi's words that stopped her.
"Boss Bei, the boss just had an accident, you can't have another accident, the boss is still waiting for you to save him"
Hearing this, Xia Beibei's eyes gradually became clearer. Dong Zhan heard the noise and came out of the office. He angrily scolded her and finally threw the documents in his hand at her and said in a deep voice:
"Xia Beibei, leave now. Go and help with the case in Nanshi. Come back after the case is closed!"
Are you trying to get her away?
Xia Beibei rolled up her shirt sleeves, stretched her wrists, and then slapped Maureen hard. Before Maureen could come to her senses, she slapped her a second time.
Maureen was furious. She threw her bag and rushed over to fight with her. Xia Beibei was not polite either. She took this opportunity to beat her up. She didn't let her get any advantage and vented all her anger on her.
Even though there were many people around, the fight between two women was more terrifying than that between men. They pulled each other's hair and cursed at each other, just like shrews scolding on the street, and they didn't know how to intervene.
Finally, Dong Zhan was so angry that he suspended Xia Beibei in public. When Xia Beibei heard the word "suspension", she immediately let go, kicked Maureen away, then tidied her messy hair, walked away gracefully with a twist of her waist, and waved to Dong Zhan before leaving.
"Director Dong, you can suspend me from work, but don't stop my salary. It will hurt our relationship."
The order of the Municipal Bureau cannot be disobeyed. Xia Beibei cannot resist Dong Zhan, but she does not want to be transferred, so she can only find a way to suspend herself. Since she is not allowed to participate in Gao Bochuan's case, she can forget about participating in other cases.
It just so happened that she had been worried that she would be restricted when working under Dong Zhan, so this way she could be free from any constraints and investigate the case at her own pace.
With the help of Shen Yunfei, she sneaked into Mo Tan's home. Yang Lin secretly took photos of the scene from the technical team and sent them to her. After two days of hard work, they found nothing. The scene was clean without a trace.
She wanted to check Mo Tan's phone and look at the surveillance footage in the community and nearby areas, but Yang Lin told her that everything on Mo Tan's phone was completely deleted and nothing was left. The technical team was trying to recover the data, and the surveillance video technical team had been transferred away and was still screening, and there had been no substantial progress.
She flipped through the photos of the scene almost obsessively, without sleeping, and even if there was a tiny blood stain on the slippers at the door, she urged Lin Qi to send it to the technical team for inspection.
Two days passed and there was still no progress. Yang Lin said that Dong Zhan held meetings every day and gave long speeches every time he held a meeting. He said that the implementation plan was an instruction from the Municipal Bureau. There were no major problems with the plan, but Dong Zhan's direction was wrong. It seemed that he was investigating the murderer as Gao Bochuan.
Lin Qi was even more dissatisfied with Dong Zhan. She would call her from time to time to complain and scold Dong Zhan from head to toe on the phone.
"That bastard Dong Zhan has been hinting that the boss is the murderer. Damn it! I really wonder how he became the deputy director. He is so weak. The boss has already explained, but he actually said that the boss was quibbling. If there wasn't someone around, I think he would torture him to extract a confession!"
Xia Beibei had expected Dong Zhan's actions. He was a typical villain who only knew how to flatter and steal the credit from his subordinates. No one knew which unethical leader in the bureau had let him take charge.
Torture? Xia Beibei actually hoped that he would torture her to extract a confession. For the police, torture was a serious violation of their professional ethics. If Dong Zhan really dared to torture her to extract a confession, she would report it to the police station.
Shen Yunfei followed the detective team on field work for two days, visiting and questioning people, and looking for suspicious people, but to no avail. He could not find any breakthrough. When Xia Beibei was anxiously panicking, Lin Qi called again.
"Boss Bei, during the interrogation just now, Dong Zhan and I went in together. The boss asked me a very strange question. He said, now we live in a society ruled by law, will anyone blatantly ignore the law and provoke the police? Even if there is, there are so many bad people in the world, can they kill them all? I didn't understand what he meant, and the boss said, if I don't understand, I'll ask you"
In a society ruled by law, will anyone blatantly disregard the law and provoke the police? Even if there are, there are many bad people in this world, can they kill them all...
Xia Beibei thought about this sentence for a whole day and sat next to Gao Bochuan's computer for a whole day. At night, she drove to the team and parked the car in a hidden corner. Soon, Lin Qi got into the car stealthily and handed the cowhide bag in his hand to her.
"Boss Bei, hurry up, Yang Lin and Yun Fei are watching inside, Dong Zhan will be back soon, if we are discovered, we will be dead"
Xia Beibei quickly flipped through the file in her hand and took a photo with her mobile phone from time to time. Seeing her sometimes serious expression and sometimes rapid breathing, Lin Qi also felt uneasy.
"Boss Bei, what's wrong? What did the boss mean by that? Did you discover something?"
Xia Beibei didn't have time to deal with her. About an hour later, she returned the file to Lin Qi and said, "Give it back. Tell Yang Lin to call me when you're done. I need his help with something."
