Chapter 88 Chapter 88 Then let me ask you one question, about the spy case, Jiang...
The director rarely lost control like this. The captain asked hurriedly, "Director, what's the case? Someone died?"
The director glared at them. He was not angry at them, but was deeply angry at the murderer: "The public called the police and found a body in the garbage dump. From the description, it was very similar to the details of the serial case three years ago. If it was true, this wouldn't be the first victim. What are you still doing? Get in the car quickly."
At this moment, the police officers who had participated in the investigation of the case were extremely angry and cursed the murderer for being cruel and inhuman. The scene at that time was still vivid in their minds. Everyone was angry and vowed to work tirelessly to catch the murderer and give an explanation to the victim.
More than half of the police cars and police officers had left. The remaining police officers on duty looked at the dozen or so people who needed mediation and asked each other in bewilderment: "What should we do?"
"It's normal mediation. If you don't accept it, just detain him first and wait for the director to come back."
"With such a vicious case, the director has no time to care about their small dispute. Let's try to mediate."
Hongguo is never vague about big things, so when faced with such a big case, she had to give way to such a small matter. However, the other party was ignorant and did not care about the tight police force in the police station. More than a dozen people were quarreling and refused to give in, which was very annoying.
Seeing Xu Zhixiao's relatives rushing forward, the director felt confident and refused to apologize.
The other party was ignorant, so why should Hongguo be the only sensible person? She refused to give in and insisted that the other party apologize. When the negotiations failed, the police detained the one who made the most trouble among Jiang Hongguo, Gu Changzong, the head of the garden, and Xu's relatives, and did not let them leave. They also drove away the rest.
Less than two hours later, the director and the main force who were out on field duty had not returned yet, so the Xu family used their connections at the Municipal Bureau to get the two people from the Xu family released on bail.
In order to show the Xu family's gratitude to the director for his previous protection, the director was also released on bail.
When the three of them left, their conversation was full of disdain for Jiang Hongguo: "Isn't that amazing? How come no one of them bailed us out after we were released?"
"They say they have strong connections, but their backers are no longer effective? They also ask people to bail them out, but they can't do it, right?"
The policemen were impatient, but since it was a call from their superiors, they had to listen: "Let him go quickly."
The director calmed down and said to Jiang Hongguo, "If you apologize and admit your mistakes, I will persuade Zhixiao's uncles to let it go and let you go."
Hong Guo said, "Pooh!" "Before beating you, Chang Zong and I were prepared to be detained as a punishment. If you don't receive the punishment today, you will have to make it up to me another day. Get out of here. I don't want to see you."
Seeing that Hong Guo didn't know what was good for him, the Xu family laughed at him, "You're still being stubborn even now. If you want to be locked up so badly, then lock him up as hard as possible. I'll find someone to help you get what you want."
Jiang Hongguo wasn't afraid. It would be at most fifteen days. It wasn't like she couldn't stay. "Then go quickly. Why are you so long-winded?"
Gu Changzong looked at him coldly. The man felt the hair on his back shivering as he was stared at. He felt as if he was caught by a tiger. He was still a child that year and went to the zoo to see tigers. He accidentally fell into the tiger enclosure. It was such an extreme fear that he quickly turned around and ran away.
Gu Changzong held Hongguo's hand and said, "Guoguo, don't be afraid. We will be separated, but I will always be here."
Hong Guo nodded: "I'm not afraid. I won't let it go this time. When we get out, before we leave, we'll beat them up to vent our anger."
Gu Changzong smiled: "That's great."
…
Soon several people knew that Hongguo and Gu Changzong had been taken to the police station for a trivial matter.
Teacher Xiao He ran to the police station to testify: "It was the headmaster who was wrong and said something excessive. Diandian's mother was not wronged at all. She and the headmaster were pulling each other's hair. Why didn't they release her if they released the headmaster? Her husband beat someone up, so they should just lock him up. Diandian's mother must be released."
After testifying, Teacher He ran to the Municipal Bureau to find her father’s comrade-in-arms: “Uncle, what’s going on? If I can’t uphold justice as a police officer, I won’t be one anymore. Please find someone else to take on the task assigned to me.”
The young woman couldn't hold her breath any longer, and the director of the Yancheng City Bureau told her not to make trouble, and to analyze the vicious case that had just happened with the quickly established task force and arrange them one by one.
The director was the police officer who was at the forefront of the case three years ago. He was always just one step away from the murderer. This was the only unsolved case in one-third of his life. Because he was too persistent, he was almost going crazy, so the director demoted him to the local police station to temper his character with trivial matters.
After two years, the old director retired and recommended this new director, who was in his twenties and young and promising. However, he still couldn't calm down when he encountered a knot in his heart.
"Director, I know that the spy case was solved so quickly before. You have someone behind you. Why don't you come out now? As long as it can solve the case, I will do it for him."
The director knew that this boy thought the other person was a man, and maybe subconsciously, he never thought of her as a woman.
He didn't know much, and didn't know how Jiang Hongguo found the key clue. He could only say, "The person is there, but I don't have the right to order him around."
"Who is it? I'll go and ask for help."
The director still had to report to Secretary Zhuang before making a decision, but there was one thing he could say: "The person is detained in your station. Even if you beg, they may not be willing to help you because you have suffered so much injustice and are discouraged."
There are several people detained in the station today. The director was stunned: "Who is it?"
…
Secretary Zhuang was so angry when he learned that Jiang Hongguo was detained that he slammed the table. Jiang Hongguo is such a cautious and low-key person, but this time he insisted on making a big fuss. He was ready to quit and was fearless.
But he couldn't let things develop like this, so he called his old friend and explained the seriousness of the situation: "Jiang Hongguo respects you very much, please give her a call and persuade her to come out."
Director Wei was very protective: "I can't let her suffer more because she respects me. That doesn't make sense. I respect her for what she wants to do. Anyway, I don't have anything for her to do for now, so there's no rush. It's not me who offended her. Hongguo is a reasonable person and won't take her anger out on me. Let her do something in the future and give her what she wants in exchange. Don't mind your own business."
Secretary Zhuang was so angry at her tone that he said, "Don't just stand there and watch the fun. I really need her help. It's a serial case. Three victims died three years ago. If the case is not solved soon, there will be more victims. Human lives are at stake."
Director Wei expressed regret: "I know that human life is a big deal, but solving the case is the job of the police. The world will still turn without Hong Guo. Just pretend you have never seen her. If you think this way, you will feel balanced. I tell you, for her case, the maximum detention is three days. If it exceeds one day, I will be angry with you."
Director Wei hung up the phone. Secretary Zhuang looked at the director with eager eyes and said, "You just heard it. I don't know more about Jiang Hongguo than you do. There is a saying that is right. Solving cases is the job of the police. It is not her turn. Let her go in three days. Don't meddle in other people's business."
How could the director give up? He asked, "I know you are in a difficult situation, so let me ask you one question: Did Jiang Hongguo make a great contribution to the spy case?"
"Of course, otherwise how could she successfully buy the mine under Xiao Xiao's name?"
"I understand." The chief said to the director who was waiting outside, "If my deduction is correct, Jiang Hongguo can solve the case, but if she says she can't, you can't do anything to her, right? If she didn't come to Yancheng, today's case would not be solved? Don't think too much, just hurry up and investigate the case."
The director knew everything, but he just wouldn't give up. He didn't want there to be any more victims in this case, so he would fight for any hope of solving the case.
The director said, "That's not right. When Secretary Zhuang asked for help, why didn't he say that the matter would still be done without her? Human life is more important than anything else. I'll go ask her."
The director did not stop it. It would be better if he could invite her. Although it is not clear why Secretary Zhuang was so sure that Jiang Hongguo could solve the case, the director was involved in the espionage case. To be able to solve it so quickly, Jiang Hongguo's ability is incredible.
Even the director understood it. It was because of his great ability that he could face detention calmly. After the person was released, he would probably leave as soon as possible, so he had to keep him.
…
As soon as the Xu family members entered the house, Zhixiao's mother dipped some pomelo leaves in water and sprinkled them all over the house to get rid of the bad luck.
"The in-laws of the director's sister took in Secretary Zhuang and fed him for a month. I asked the director, and he confirmed that Secretary Zhuang's family had nothing to do with Jiang Hongguo's family. Don't be afraid. Has the director come out?"
"If she had been released, it wouldn't have been possible without the connections of the director's sister's in-laws and our family. If she had been released together with the director, Jiang Hongguo could have been released too. But I don't know what she was thinking. She refused to come out."
Zhixiao's mother said, "She is a self-employed person, so she is not afraid of having a criminal record. But the director is different. If she has a detention record, her sister's in-laws won't be able to arrange a good job for her no matter how powerful they are."
Just after spreading the grapefruit juice, the director of the local police station drove the police car to catch the two who had just been released: "You two should walk honestly. It will be embarrassing if you are handcuffed."
Zhixiao's mother was dissatisfied and questioned, "Are you kidding me? It was the city police who called you and asked you to release him. Why did you arrest him again?"
The director sneered: "I just came back from the director, how come I don't know about this? Who said it? Point it out."
How dare she point this out and bring trouble to others? Zhixiao's mother was frightened. The person who had just arrived home was taken away by the director himself. She hurried to her husband's unit to ask him to find a solution.
"Go and find out quickly, how did he get caught again?"
Zhixiao's father asked, "What do you want me to find out? I've always told you to be low-key and not to be clever. If you meet someone who is not as good as you, you look down on them. If you meet someone who is worse than you, you try to curry favor with them. Now you know, does it hurt that you hit your foot? You don't know where Jiang Hongguo's confidence comes from. I'll tell you the truth. I've tried to find out, but I can't find out anything. This is the most terrifying thing."
Zhixiao's mother was anxious: "One is your brother, and the other is my brother. Aren't you worried? We have to find a way to solve it."
Zhixiao's father couldn't do anything about it: "We should do what we have to do. We should have taught these lawless bastards a lesson long ago."
As for the director of the kindergarten, not long after I got home, my sister came. She was my biological sister, and she had married well. I got my job by asking my sister's mother-in-law to use her connections to arrange it for me.
The headmaster's sister looked worried, and the headmaster smiled and said, "Sister, I'm out now, what are you worried about?"
Her sister was very uneasy: "The two from the Xu family have been taken back again. If Jiang Hongguo doesn't reconcile, your apology will be useless and you will be detained. You can't do your job as the director after being detained. You have to be mentally prepared."
The headmaster was devastated: "Sister, go back and beg your brother-in-law and your mother-in-law. I don't want to be detained or have a criminal record. It's not a decent job, I won't do it. Go find Jiang Hongguo and make peace."
Seeing her sister begging so pitifully, she held on to hope and said, "Maybe the other party knows the relationship between our families and won't come to take you back."
Unfortunately, the director was taken back after a while. Jiang Hongguo refused to reconcile, so everyone was detained together.
The head teacher's sister returned home and told her mother-in-law that she didn't know what kind of background Jiang Hongguo's family had, and her sister was arrested again. She was very worried.
For the sake of her two grandchildren, her mother-in-law waved her hand and said, "Don't panic. I have to take action myself. I'll call Secretary Zhuang. He ate at my house for a month when he was a child. We should remember this kindness."
The headmistress was overjoyed. As long as her mother-in-law stepped in, this little matter could be solved with just a few words.
Her mother-in-law called Secretary Zhuang. After the call was connected, she looked kind and concerned: "Xiao Zhuang, are you busy recently? Come to our house for dinner when you are free."
She thought Secretary Zhuang would be as polite as before, but he was not today.
Secretary Zhuang had been annoyed for a long time. It was his parents who said that the kindness of his fellow villagers should not be forgotten. Now it was a matter of principle, so it was a good opportunity to refuse.
He said politely, "I've been very busy lately, so I'm afraid I don't have time to go over. My parents have always taught me not to rest on my laurels, and told me to be down-to-earth. I think that's right. Now that I have the ability, I will repay you tenfold for the meal you gave me before. I've asked someone to convert it into money, which will be sent to your house soon. From now on, don't always mention that I ate at your house for a month."
The old woman felt like the sky was falling and was dizzy. She asked her daughter-in-law to get her some blood pressure-lowering medicine.
Secretary Zhuang's wife happened to come to inquire about Hongguo's matter. She overheard what her husband said and felt very happy.
My husband's parents were in trouble a few years ago and had to move around. They had to leave their youngest son at a fellow villager's house for a month. I have already given them a lot in return, but now he is still taking advantage of this kindness and acting like a bully. It's really annoying.
…
Hongguo was actually eating the meal that Lao Zheng had Yushan send to her at the police station. She was eating with Gu Changzong in the small conference room. This treatment made her feel that something would happen soon and they would have to negotiate with them.
The police officer who was watching on duty talked about the case that happened today: "The preliminary diagnosis of the forensic doctor is that the abuse suffered by the victim before his death has many similarities with the three cases three years ago. The cases have been merged."
"Oh, how pitiful! He was tortured before death, and his body was destroyed after death. The murderer is inhumane."
"A few more people vomited at the scene this time. I don't blame them. I would have vomited if I were there. It's too cruel. I really don't want there to be another victim."
Hongguo couldn't eat anymore. The shiny braised pork made her feel sick just by looking at and smelling it. She had a very strange emotion. She had said she would not care, but after hearing what she heard, she felt worried again and hoped that the murderer would be caught as soon as possible.
Gu Changzong refrained from cursing because the policeman allowed him to deliver food and eat with Hongguo.
"Comrades, I'm almost unable to eat because of what you've said. Could you please stop talking about the case while we're eating?"
The police officers achieved their goal and quickly assured: "Okay, no more words. Look, the director has brought back the two people who were released just now, and the director of the garden has also been brought back. If there is no reconciliation, it is fair and just to detain them all."
Hong Guo was determined not to reconcile: "Then we'll detain him, otherwise our whole day will be in vain."
Gu Changzong: "Yes, it makes no difference to us whether we go out two days earlier or later."
The director brought the man back and asked people to go through the detention procedures. He came to the small conference room and took a look. He saw that the man was eating the meal brought by his family.
He took a different approach and used provocation to say, "Jiang Hongguo, Gu Changzong, you talk so loudly, you want people to believe you, show some strength. Can you solve the case of this serial killer within three days?"
This was a case that was combined with the one from three years ago. Hong Guo could only touch things and see the scene. If the murderer covered his face or only saw his back, how could she guarantee that she could find clues? There were still three days left, so she couldn't guarantee it.
And she heard that the accessories on the victim were taken off before the body was dumped. She had nothing to touch and felt unsure, so she could only remain silent. It was not that she was unwilling, but that she was not sure.
Only Gu Changzong understood Hongguo's expression. He thought Hongguo was worrying too much. It was just a small matter and she didn't need to do anything.
Gu Changzong gave Hongguo an affirmative look, then crossed his shoulders and confronted the director who asked the question, with a relaxed tone: "Three days is fine. This case is too brutal and not suitable for Guoguo. Besides, we are detained and it is not convenient for us to go out. Let Guoguo's cousin go. He is enough."
Yu Shan was imagining where the family would go next. When he was suddenly called, he shook his head and said, "I'm not going. Why should I help them do something that has no benefit to me?"
