“Well, let me be straight with you. Our leaders above us, today the phone call went straight to the brigadier, telling us to make sure we get you as a consultant to cooperate with the investigation. Otherwise, we’ll all have to eat our words. Team Zhang, just think of it as helping us brothers, soldiers and police are not separate, you see ……”
“What?” I was stunned.
When Wu Yi Yi assured me last night, I thought she was just bragging, but I never thought she could really get a whole administrative detachment to cooperate with me.
“What what? Or I’ll send a car to pick you up?”
“No, no, I wanted to ask, is that your leader?”
The one who could make an entire criminal investigation detachment obey the command was definitely not a minor player in Ningcheng, I had underestimated Wu Yi Yi, her identity background should be more illustrious than I thought.
“This, I don’t know, the call was made directly to the senior captain, who was reprimanded like a grandson. Team Zhang, just think of it as a good deed.”
“Your team Liu agreed to me being a consultant?”
“Team Liu is still out there, can’t be bothered to return that much. Why don’t you come over here first, this time the leader above has given the word, to ensure that no one dares to give you a hard time.”
Actually I really didn’t want to go, but Ma Rong was so close to begging me over the phone that I had to agree.
But this time, I stayed on with Zhao Zichen and Xia Gehuai.
The police have a wide range of contacts, and there are brothers from his Red Lantern Club everywhere. There are some clues that we can’t investigate, but when we ask the Red Lantern Club’s brothers in the jungle, we have everything.
Xia Gehuai and Zhao Zichen were going to investigate Baldy’s case, and since they were both going to the police station anyway, they were happy to go with me.
When we arrived at the police station, Ma Rong was still guarding the entrance, just like yesterday.
When he saw my car coming from afar, Ma Rong came up at a trot to greet him.
“Captain Zhang, you’re here, we’ve been waiting for you for a long time. This time, absolutely no one will dare to disrespect you again, and if anyone dares to give you a look, I’ll tear him up on the spot.”
I got out of the car with my crutches and he tried to help me, but with such a small injury, I didn’t really need help.
“Come on, don’t drag your horse’s ass out, what’s going on now? Did your Liu team come up with anything yesterday?”
“He went to see the crime scene last night, found a few witnesses, and basically determined the direction of Yu Shen’s escape. Yu Shen may have left town, but we’ll have to wait until all the units are on duty today to find out exactly what happened. We are running out of time, if we don’t solve the case today, the case will definitely be handed over.”
“Only one day, huh? I really doubt your leaders are looking for me to take the blame.” I joked.
Ma Rong still insisted on holding me up, and I had just climbed the steps when I heard an impatient voice from behind me.
“Tch, why are you still here?”
I turned around to see who it was, and saw Captain Liu, his face full of impatience and a black eye, winding up towards me.
Pointing at me, Team Liu asked Ma Rong, “What’s going on? Why are you still here? You’ve been taking statements all night?”
“Team, team, captain, team Zhang is our advisor.” A moment ago, Ma Rong was talking quite nicely, but at this time, he was dumbfounded all of a sudden.
Team Liu’s eyes instantly lit up with disdain and angry fury.
“Zhang Chao, don’t make trouble, I won’t assign you manpower, I can’t move my manpower here.”
This man is a bit arrogant, but a strong dragon cannot suppress a snake on the ground, I have no intention of fighting with him for power, so I let him have his way.
“No need, Team Liu, you can use your men, I don’t need an assistant.”
If I want to check something, I can ask Meng Meng to do it for me directly, which is much faster than asking someone from the police station to do it for me.
Team Liu sneered and looked me up and down, staring at my sick leg for a moment.
“You don’t have to be polite, it’s true that I can’t line up manpower for you, but Old Rong, you get a wheelchair for Team Zhang, don’t make people stand.”
Team Liu walked to the front, with Ma Rong behind him, and while he was out of sight, he confessed to me with his hands clasped together.
“Team Zhang, you mustn’t be angry, that’s the temper of our Team Liu. Please, please stay, it doesn’t matter if you want to help or not, just think of it as coming here for a holiday. Otherwise we won’t be able to explain to the top.”
I cried and laughed, looking at Ma Rong with this pitiful look, I could only let out a long sigh.
If it wasn’t for Wu Yi Yi, I would never have meddled in this nonsense.
Zhao Zichen and Xia Gehuai both made fun of me.
“What’s going on, Zhang Chao, you’re rushing to give someone a backhand.”
“Brother, I’ve only heard of a hot face on someone’s cold ass, but this isn’t a cold ass you’re sticking to, it’s a cold ass at -40 degrees.”
I pushed Xia Gehuai and shoved him into the door, “Okay, okay, why don’t you two team up and go into comedy.”
Just at this time, Team Liu suddenly turned his head and walked back, staring at Xia Ge Huai with suspicion in his eyes.
“A big man staring at a big man is a bit disgusting, Officer Liu, just say what’s up.”
“What’s your relationship with Xu Changsheng?”
Xu Changsheng, I froze for a moment before I realized, isn’t this the bald guy.
Before Xia Gehuai could answer, Team Liu said, “I remember when Xu Changsheng was first arrested, you wanted to vouch for him. You even came to our police station and wanted to investigate the case.”
“I’m Xu Changsheng’s friend, he was wrongly accused, isn’t it normal for me to run for him?”
Xia Gehuai didn’t avoid it at all, he didn’t have to admit it anyway.
“Normal.” Team Liu gave Xia Ge Huai a deep look, then gave me another meaningful hum before turning his head and walking away.
I leaned over to his ear and said, “Old Xia, have you read Baldy’s file?”
“No, where would I look? I’d f*cking love to.”
I whispered, “Well, let’s look at it today?”
“You’re dreaming, where am I going to look …… Holy sh*t, you mean ……” he twisted two fingers together in a gesture of quietly taking “Steal?”
“Tsk, how can you call it stealing? Call it taking it back without anyone knowing.”
Xia Gehuai rolled his eyes at me, “You think the dossier is that easy to take? If we’d been found out, we’d have gotten a pair of silver bracelets tonight. Besides, what do you need the scrolls for?”
“I don’t think it’s right. There’s a lot of suspicion in this Baldy case, think about it, how could the forensic scientist not know that there was narcotic residue in Baldy’s system? And the hotel’s hallway surveillance must have captured the people going in and out of that room. So many suspicions, why haven’t they been investigated?”
“So what exactly are you looking at in the files? There’s probably nothing on these files.”
I said, “I want to verify a suspicion.”
“What suspicion?”
“The heavenly truth must not be revealed.”
“sh*t, you’re doing that again.”
Ma Rong had noticed me and Xia Gehuai and caught up, “Team Zhang, this way, what are you two talking about?”
