“We are still pressing this matter now. I know, you have two men fetch Xu Changsheng’s dossier, let your men go back, I have this dossier with me.”
I was embarrassed to have been exposed to my face by Bureau Zhou.
“That, misunderstanding ……”
Bureau Zhou shook his hand and said, “Don’t dwell on that. But did you notice anything?”
I frowned, “The situation is grimmer than I thought, ah, the vice captain was seriously injured and the first captain was framed, but you haven’t suspended Liu Hao yet, it looks like you trust him.”
“I brought this boy up single-handedly, who else can I trust if I don’t trust him? He’ll never be black.”
I frowned, “Then why do you still suspect Xu Changsheng?”
“No, because of that fingerprint, I am sure Xu Changsheng should have been wrongly accused. This trap should have been laid for Liu Hao, only Xu Changsheng was unlucky, so he fell into it. On the day of the crime, Liu Hao had an alibi, and he was with me. But we can’t set Xu Changsheng free, I’m afraid of alerting the snake.”
“You suspect that the person who did it was someone from within you?”
“It’s hard to say if it was someone from within, but their goal was obvious, to target the Fengqi detachment. The same goes for the Yu Shen incident this time. If the Yu Shen case is not solved today and tomorrow, Liu Hao will have to recuse himself and hand the case over. If this case is no longer in our hands, and someone has moved in the details, it is easy to frame Liu Hao …… As soon as Ma Rong mentioned you to me that day, I knew that you kid was our Snow Leopard’s honor, and immediately called Zheng Lao, who told me about your basic situation, I felt that you were the most suitable person to investigate the case. Our snow leopard’s reconnaissance ability are not weak, with you to help Xiao Liu I also rest assured a little, but Xiao Liu surprisingly do not appreciate, but also with us to make this temper …… hey.”
So this is what happened, it really has nothing to do with Wu Yi Yi.
I also muttered, Wu Yi Yi’s energy is also too big, can really make a criminal investigation detachment to cooperate with me.
The truth is that Zhou wanted to get me as an outside helper to check the team under him to see if there were any mole.
“Xiao Zhang, really trouble you, bear with me and help me. Otherwise, I really can’t do anything about it. Xiao Liu is capable, but he’s just too arrogant, if he really gets framed, this is a great loss to our Ningcheng police.”
His words have come to this point, and the old chief has agreed, I can disregard other people’s faces, it is impossible not to look at the old man’s face.
“Fine.” I snickered, “But you’re not being honest either, Bureau Zhou, you don’t really trust Team Liu. Probably that’s why he’s so resistant to me.”
Bureau Zhou talked a good game, but in fact it was because of his defence of Liu Hao that he wanted someone completely unrelated to investigate this matter, not only someone who had nothing to do with the Fengqi detachment, but someone who had nothing to do with the entire Ningcheng police force.
Is this still the way to trust Liu Hao?
“I’m here for Xu Changsheng.”
I didn’t hide my intention of coming and said directly.
Of course, I didn’t tell the truth, the bald man was only the direct reason, not the root reason, the root reason that brought me here was Yun Guihai of the Yunya Sect.
But just like what Zhou Bureau said to me was true and false, I would not reveal myself directly.
“As my advisor, you of course have the highest authority in the whole of Ning City. You have free access to Xu Changsheng’s dossier. However, you don’t have to hide it from me, Team Zhang, I was also a captain in Snow Leopard, you have retired from the army, but the members of Snow Leopard are still following you on your missions, which means that you already have higher access to information than Ningcheng itself.”
“That’s only online information, there are many paper files that haven’t been uploaded yet, I couldn’t check them even if I wanted to.”
Faced with my straightforwardly exposed intentions, instead of getting angry, Bureau Zhou laughed.
“So it seems that the two of us have a lot to work with. You have something that I want, and I have something that you want.”
He held out his hand to me again and I took it, feeling that his hand was strong, as expected from our Snow Leopard, even after so many years of being pampered in the office, he still maintained some of his military habits.
“Good cooperation.”
I smiled, pushing the door back into the office lobby once more.
When Liu Hao saw me and Bureau Zhou returning, he frowned and said, “Old Zhou, I’d like to speak to you alone for a few minutes.”
Zhou Bureau raised a hand at Liu Hao: “Let’s talk about you later, I’ll announce something first. Zhang Chao has rich experience in reconnaissance and can help us solve 124 murder cases, so I have decided to hire Zhang Chao as a special consultant for this case, everyone must cooperate well with Zhang Chao.”
“Alright, Liu Hao, what are your questions?”
Liu Hao turned red, “Old Zhou, you’re getting old and confused! Aren’t you adding to our mess?!”
I kind of softly admired this guy, he dared to confront the director in front of so many people, no wonder as a close friend of Zhou Bureau, Zhou Bureau had both faith and disbelief in him.
“What’s your opinion?”
“Of course I have an opinion, this is not even one of our bureau, we are very busy now, do we have time to accompany this person around in circles?”
Zhou did not give any face: “I have already decided, submit your comments in writing.”
“You’re being bureaucratic, you’re not following the rules!”
Bang!
Zhou Bureau slapped his hand on the desk, the whole office went quiet, and Liu Hao’s face went dark as he realised he had said the wrong thing.
“Liu Hao, you’re too arrogant! You, from today onwards, cooperate with Zhang Chao to investigate the case. You only have two days at most, this case will have to be handed over at any time, so prepare yourselves mentally!”
Liu Hao was full of grievances, but he dared not say anything in the face of the enraged Bureau Zhou.
I let out a long sigh in my heart, this matter had nothing to do with me, I had to get myself into trouble and offend people at the same time.
“Xiao Zhang, please.”
Before Zhou left, he patted me on the shoulder and admonished me. The whole office stood there dumbfounded, and only Ma Rong reacted first.
“Bureau Zhou I’ll see you off ……”
After Zhou Bureau went out, Liu Hao huffed and puffed like a man and violently grabbed a stool and smashed it on the ground.
“f*ck!”
Everyone was silent and cowered in the corner, not daring to say a word, let alone come up to persuade Liu Hao.
He was still not satisfied and tried to smash another one, but when he grabbed the stool, I held it down with one hand and he couldn’t get it up after two tugs.
“Don’t get angry with the stool, it’s not manly.” I said.
“sh*t, don’t need to teach me that.”
Liu Hao tugged again, but still didn’t get it out, jokingly, if he could snatch this stool from under my hand, then he could also join the special forces.
“Okay, you bull.”
Liu Hao pointed at me and said with warning.
Meanwhile, the cops watching were busy looking down and minding their own business, only pretending not to see what was going on between the two of us.
