Jiang Yuelou stood in front of Bai Jinbo and reported in detail how Wu Shuwei was found dead.
When they saw Wu Shuwei's body, they were all annoyed at being late. Sun Yongren even exclaimed in amazement: "Dead? Could it be that he committed suicide in fear of crime?"
Jiang Yuelou didn't think so. He looked around. Although the office environment was normal, he felt that something was wrong from the bottom of his heart. "A person who is greedy for life and afraid of death is not without the possibility of turning over, and will not die easily." He went to the desk to examine the corpse carefully, and analyzed it by the way.
Wu Shuwei's desk is very tidy, and the office utensils are placed in an orderly manner, and there is nothing suspicious about it. The only thing that caught Jiang Yuelou's attention was a tea cup, which was still a little hot, with half a cup of tea left in it.
"The water is still hot, and the top-quality Biluochun is still soaked. Wu Shuwei is greedy and stingy, and he is very stingy to himself..."
As he spoke, he looked at the cabinet beside him, and saw several teacups upside down in the tray, one of which was a little crooked. He took a step forward, took down the cup, and turned it over to check. It was obvious that the cup had just been drunk, and the tea color inside was still there, and even half a piece of tea was stuck to the wall of the cup.
Jiang Yuelou looked solemn, turned around and said seriously: "It's murder! And it's an acquaintance who committed the crime. The tea is not cold, so the murderer must not have gone far. Song Rong, follow me! Yongren, go find Dr. Chen and ask him to come and see Get down the corpse."
He and Song Rong led people to chase them from several directions separately, and finally gathered at the gate of the government building, but unfortunately they didn't get anything.
Bai Jinbo frowned and thought for a moment, then sighed: "The person behind the scenes is a formidable enemy."
"Sooner or later I'll get him out."
Bai Jinbo signaled Jiang Yuelou to sit down, followed by himself on the sofa, and asked, "What do you think?"
"Probably someone from the government. Judging from the situation last night, he is very familiar with the surrounding environment, so he left no trace when he left." Seeing Bai Jinbo thoughtful, Jiang Yuelou continued: "Still Yes, Wu Shu died of poisoning, not because of the tea. Judging from the teacup on the cabinet, that person also drank tea with him. This is easy to explain. Wu Shuwei is a timid and cautious person, and he clearly did it Shameful deeds, there is a certain degree of wariness against people coming. But the biggest doubt lies in this watch."
As Jiang Yuelou said, he took out Wu Shuwei's watch from the evidence bag, put it on the table, and pushed it in front of Bai Jinbo.
Bai Jinbo picked up his watch and followed Jiang Yuelou's explanation to check it carefully.
"Judging from the traces, this watch has been worn for some years, and its thickness is also consistent with the traces on Wu Shuwei's body. It is Wu Shuwei's property."
"It looks inconspicuous, what's the trick?" Bai Jinbo asked.
"It's very ordinary, not famous. It's just, how can you take off your watch after a good chat..."
Bai Jinbo followed his train of thought and analyzed: "Unless, that person wants to see it."
Jiang Yuelou shook his head: "I'm more inclined. Someone brought a watch and wanted to give it to Wu Shuwei to paralyze him. Wu Shuwei's office has checked, and there is no source of the poison. The only explanation is that the source of the poison is It was brought by that person, and he also took it away, it is very likely that Wu Shuwei poisoned his cup when replacing the watch."
Bai Jinbo put down his watch and asked another question: "What's the result of the autopsy?"
In Jiang Yuelou's mind, the image of Chen Yuzhi wearing a mask and gloves last night, carefully inspecting the corpse emerged in Jiang Yuelou's mind. He checked the pupils first, then dipped Wu Shuwei's blood with a cotton swab, and carefully put the cotton swab into a glass bottle so that he could take it back for examination.
He still remembers his cold voice echoing in his ears.
"The deceased was about 50 years old, and the time of death was 8:20 last night. The cause of death was poisoning."
"According to the analysis of the smell and blood color, it is a very rare western medicine, quinidine."
"The deceased should have had a heart disease, and an overdose of this drug can lead to sudden death."
"This drug has just appeared in the West, so what I want to say is, first, the murderer must be familiar with the deceased. Second, the source of the drug...is probably smuggled."
Thinking of this, Jiang Yuelou suddenly came back to his senses, and reported truthfully: "It's a western medicine called quinidine."
Bai Jinbo frowned: "What do you do next?"
"customs."
Bai Jinbo stood up and waved to him: "Yuelou, the customs can't forcefully check for the time being. Mayor Cai will come back from Nanjing tomorrow afternoon. Get ready."
Just as Jiang Yuelou was about to argue, seeing that Bai Jinbo had walked back to his desk, his attitude was firm: "That's it, I won't approve it."
In desperation, Jiang Yuelou had no choice but to show obedience perfunctorily, and took Song Rong and Sun Yongren straight to the customs as soon as he left the director's office.
In the customs office, two customs officers were joking and joking, and they were shocked when they saw three people breaking in.
"Who are you?"
Sun Yongren stepped forward and greeted with a smile: "I'm sorry brother, we are from the Police Headquarters, and we have been ordered to review the registration book of Jingcheng's imported drugs for the past month." He raised a document in his hand, but before waiting The customs staff saw it clearly and put it behind them.
One of the customs staff was a little confused, but he didn't suspect their identities, so he responded quickly and took out a few registers from the cabinet.
Sun Yongren smiled triumphantly, looked back at Jiang Yuelou, winking, as if asking for credit.
Seeing that the registration book was about to be obtained, another customs officer suddenly became alert.
"Wait. Let Brother Rong report, the three of you will wait a moment." The man picked up the phone and was about to dial when Sun Yongren grabbed his hand.
His actions made customs officials even more suspicious.
"We're going to take this register away." Jiang Yuelou walked forward, ready to grab it with a cold face.
The customs staff hurriedly kept the registration book behind their backs, and hurriedly refused: "This is not acceptable."
"Is it okay? I didn't hear clearly." Sun Yongren took out a gun and pointed it at him in an instant, changing his kindness just now and looking fierce.
When the two men saw the gun, their legs became weak, trembling, they were about to hand the registration book into Sun Yongren's hands, and they said, "Okay, definitely."
Just as Sun Yongren stretched out his hand to take it, at this moment, "Chief Jiang" came from the door, and then Zhao Jingming walked in with a few customs officers.
As soon as Zhao Jingming entered the room, he saw Sun Yongren holding a gun, his expression sank, he stared at Jiang Yuelou and asked, "Section Chief Jiang, where are you singing?"
"Section Chief Zhao, I'm sorry, we need to consult some customs registration of imported goods." Jiang Yuelou was already at odds with him, so naturally he didn't have a good face.
"Then why did you move the gun?" Zhao Jingming smiled and put his hand on the gun, and Sun Yongren took the opportunity to put the gun away. "Is there no procedure? Then it's not easy to handle. My brother also eats public meals, so please don't embarrass me, Section Chief Jiang."
Jiang Yuelou looked at Zhao Jingming's hypocritical smiling face with indescribable disgust. Knowing that Zhao Jingming was there, he could not get the registration book, so he took Song Rong and Sun Yongren out of the customs without looking back.
With no gains, Jiang Yuelou was very depressed. He was walking alone in the alley with his head down, when he suddenly felt someone in front of him, and when he looked up, it turned out to be Chen Yuzhi.
"Such a coincidence?"
Chen Yuzhi leaned against the wall and replied flatly, "I'm waiting for you."
The two returned to Jiang Yuelou's house together. As soon as they entered, Jiang Yuelou took off his coat and put it on the back of the chair casually, and sat down wearily.
Seeing that he was not in good condition, Chen Yuzhi asked with concern, "No progress?"
"The people behind are either rich or noble. In Jingcheng, they must be people with all-hands and eyes." Jiang Yuelou closed his eyes, his voice was hoarse, and he was far from the vitality of the day.
Chen Yuzhi could understand these words, otherwise, how could the head of the inspection department with strong working ability in front of him show such a fragile expression in front of him.
Before he could speak comforting words in the future, Jiang Yuelou stood up abruptly and walked back and forth in the room, his emotions getting more and more agitated, which made him frown slightly.
"Many people say that I, Jiang Yuelou, are unkind and don't know how to be an official. But law enforcement is my duty. I just want to give the people of Jingcheng a sense of security."
Chen Yuzhi also stood up, stopped in front of Jiang Yuelou, and patted him on the shoulder with one hand: "Actually, being a doctor is the same."
"You don't understand." Jiang Yuelou lifted his hand, "You have your principles, no matter good or evil, you will heal. I also have my principles, use violence to control violence, and kill the wicked." His speaking speed was getting faster and faster, and his emotions had accumulated to a certain level, almost exploding, and he punched the wall. "Do you know how bad it feels to be unable to make a move knowing that the person opposite must have a problem?"
Seeing this, Chen Yuzhi hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, looking straight into his eyes: "You are not in the right mood now. Come, follow me and take a deep breath..."
Jiang Yuelou ignored his words, but his breathing became more and more rapid: "I know, I know. I was thinking about how to dig out that black hand in Jingcheng." He stared at Chen Yuzhi, and rolled up a stormy sea, "You Do you know? Every time I see you, I feel a sense of guilt. If I had been a little more careful that day, your sister Ke Ying would not have been lost, and I would have snatched her back. "
When Chen Yuzhi heard this, he was stunned, "Have you... seen Keying?"
That day, Jiang Yuelou captured Chen Yuzhi who was helping the gangsters in the warehouse, handed him over to Song Rong and took him back to the police station, and went home by himself. On the way, he saw a little girl sitting under the eaves, looking into the alley from time to time.
When he walked over, the girl jumped out excitedly, trying to startle him, but soon the happy smile froze on her face. Obviously, he was not the one she was waiting for, and the girl sat back on the threshold in disappointment.
Jiang Yuelou was exhausted. He came back to change clothes and rushed back to the police station to interrogate the suspect. He didn't pay much attention to the little girl waiting outside alone, and walked straight home.
Just as he was about to open the door, there was a strange noise in his ear.
He followed the sound vigilantly, and saw two men picked up the little girl, covered her mouth, got into a car together, and the car drove away from the alley at high speed.
Kidnap? Alarm bells rang in Jiang Yuelou's heart, and he quickly chased him out. But the car was going so fast that it was impossible to catch up with his legs. After running for a while, he gave up chasing, holding his knees and gasping for breath.
When he returned to the police station, he wanted to tell his subordinates to investigate, but he forgot all about it as soon as he got busy.
Later, in Chen Yuzhi's missing person notice, he realized to his surprise that the little girl turned out to be Chen Yuzhi's younger sister, Chen Keying.
He was a little dazed at the moment, talking about what had happened quickly in a low voice, and then he was only annoyed: "If I insisted on catching up and didn't give up..."
It's a pity that Chen Yuzhi didn't give him a chance to finish. I saw him clenching his teeth tightly, with veins popping out of his temples, deliberately calming down to hide his furious emotions.
He stared at Jiang Yuelou for a while without saying a word, then suddenly punched Jiang Yuelou without any defense and was in a state of emotional illness, and beat him severely.
He watched Jiang Yuelou stagger a few steps before he was able to stand still. He clamored in his heart, expecting him to rush up and fight back, so that he would have no scruples. Let him have a good fight with him to relieve the strong in his heart. angry. But Jiang Yuelou felt guilty and wished that he would punch him a few more times to relieve his anger, and had no intention of fighting back at all.
Chen Yu didn't want to stay any longer, and turned around to leave. After only two steps, he stopped suddenly, took out a bottle of medicine from his arms, put it on the table, and said coldly, "This medicine should be useful for your illness." Then, without looking at Jiang Yuelou again, Turn around and stumble away.
Jiang Yuelou supported the table with one hand, covered the place where he was beaten with the other, and was short of breath. His eyes fell on the bottle of medicine, and his whole body was filled with chagrin, self-blame and pain. He angrily kicked over the chair at his feet, and other furnishings and furniture in the house were not spared, and the house was in a mess after a while.
Finally exhausted, he sat in a pile of debris, with his face buried deep in his arms.
Jiang Yuelou didn't know that Chen Yuzhi quickly walked through the alley and came to his house, staring at the threshold with a blank expression. There used to be a girl who often waited here for him to come home, always with a pure smile on her face.
Tears welled up in his eyes, and he lost his strength, and fell down on the threshold with his head raised, his face full of sadness.
Now it's his turn to stay here and wait for his sister to come home, but he doesn't know if he still has this chance.
It was a stormy night, and there was an even bigger storm the next day.
In the mayor's office of the government building, a pen hit Jiang Yuelou hard, and the black ink was thrown out instantly, staining his clothes.
He hadn't slept almost all night. Although he was neatly dressed, his expression was not very good. He stood upright in front of the desk without saying a word.
Mayor Cai Changyao pointed at him angrily, and shouted: "Jiang Yuelou, you are so courageous! Without my signature, who will give you the qualification to arrest the members of the committee!"
Bai Jinbo, who came with Jiang Yuelou, quickly spoke up for him, with a respectful attitude: "Mayor Cai, you were in Nanjing at the time and couldn't be reached. The situation is urgent. Section Chief Jiang has reported to me..."
Cai Changyao turned his gaze to Bai Jinbo instantly, and said sarcastically, "Oh? Director Bai is blaming me?"
"Subordinates dare not." Bai Jinbo panicked for a while.
"Is there anything else you dare not do? Say that the evidence is solid, okay, I will ask you for evidence now. There is no physical evidence, and the witness is dead. Is this the evidence you said?" Cai Changyao was so angry that he pointed The hand holding Bai Jinbo kept shaking. "There is also a death for the book. It is said that someone used some quinidine, but the source of the poison could not be found, and the person who poisoned had no clue. Director Bai, it's not that you discovered this medicine and wronged people. It's a good show once and for all, right?"
"Of course not! Even if you give me a hundred courage, I wouldn't dare."
Cai Changyao turned his head to look at the expressionless Jiang Yuelou, and sneered: "You don't dare, he dares. I heard that Section Chief Jiang didn't act according to reason, acted recklessly, and even became violent."
Jiang Yuelou continued to remain silent, her eyes drooping, she said nothing, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
Here, Bai Jinbo wants to explain again: "Mayor Cai, it's all framed..."
Before he finished speaking, Jiang Yuelou suddenly raised his head, looked at Cai Changyao and said, "I will produce evidence to prove that Commissioner Wu is not clear about Hong Kong's underworld and Jinmatang. I will catch the murderer sooner or later." Arrested and brought to justice."
His tone was obviously calm, but to Cai Changyao's ears, it became a kind of provocation. "Why should I trust you?"
"If you don't believe me and just blindly criticize the police department, Mayor Cai, I'm afraid everyone will question your intentions. For example, some rumors spread that Mayor Cai and Commissioner Wu are suspected of being ambiguous about smuggling gangsters..."
When Cai Changyao heard this, he was so angry that he wanted to hit him with a teacup, but Bai Jinbo hurried forward and held his hand.
"Mayor Cai, some tabloid reporters love to fabricate news bloggers based on clues. It's better for the common people to be fooled and say it's suspicious. If it spreads out, it won't tarnish your name." With a red face, he sings and harmonizes quite tacitly.
Sure enough, Cai Changyao listened to these words. It was a matter of his future, so he had to be cautious. At this time, looking at Jiang Yuelou's tough face, his attitude softened.
Seeing that he had calmed down, Bai Jinbo quickly struck while the iron was hot: "Mayor Cai, if you find evidence to prove that Commissioner Wu and Lucas colluded, then you will kill relatives righteously and will not tolerate it. The people will definitely not misunderstand you."
Cai Changyao fell silent, thought for a moment, then raised his head to look at Jiang Yuelou, and said bitterly: "Go out, if you can't produce any evidence, just wait for me!"
Bai Jinbo quickly winked at Jiang Yuelou, signaling him to leave quickly.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Yuelou was not moved, and still saluted seriously. He knew that this salute was more like a kind of irony to Cai Changyao, but he was unwilling to change it, which made Bai Jinbo very worried.
On the way back to the car, Jiang Yuelou stared out the window in a daze. What was in his mind was not the clues, but the picture of Chen Yuzhi punching him hard and putting the medicine on the table, so that Bai Jinbo called him several times without responding.
After finally recovering his senses, seeing Bai Jinbo's worried eyes, he quickly replied, "I'm sorry Director, I'm thinking about the case."
Bai Jinbo looked at him and sighed, and said earnestly: "Human, you can't stay tight all the time, it will break."
Jiang Yuelou nodded, looked out the window, and found that it was not the way back to the police station, and asked suspiciously, "This is... where are you going?"
"Tianyun Garden."
As soon as he heard the place name, Jiang Yuelou knew what he was going to do, and quickly yelled at the driver: "Stop!"
The driver was startled by him, and quickly slowed down. Just as he was about to step on the brakes, Bai Jinbo said sternly: "Keep driving!"
The driver looked at the rearview mirror, decided to obey Bai Jinbo's order, stepped on the accelerator, and the car continued to drive towards Tianyun Garden.
"Director, we agreed to have a light meal next to the police station. I'm waiting to solve the case now, and I don't have the heart to listen to the show."
Bai Jinbo raised his finger and poked him fiercely on the forehead: "You, you, you are really stubborn sometimes. This dinner was organized by Director Zhan, and we have made an appointment a long time ago. If you are at the critical moment of official duties , I will definitely not bring you here. But now it is clear that the matter has come to an end for the time being, it is a waiting period, an intermission period, you can't patronize the case and forget the friendship of your peers, this is also the way of being an official. "
Jiang Yuelou touched his head and muttered, "I only know how to behave."
"Stubborn, it's not too late to teach you now. You forced your way through the customs yesterday, and Section Chief Zhao didn't bother you much. If he has the heart, report it to the Director of Customs. It's really hard for you to end this matter. Yuelou, wait a while Please apologize to Jingming." Bai Jinbo hated that iron can't be made into steel, so he had to give some pointers.
Jiang Yuelou didn't appreciate his earnestness, "What? He, Zhao Jing, is obviously covering up Jingcheng's smugglers. I don't understand why such a person can be successful in office, but Brother Zhan and you still have to make false claims with him."
Bai Jinbo smiled wryly: "Yuelou, you want to realize your ambitions, you want Jingcheng to follow your ideas, but are you strong enough? In order to make yourself strong, you can only do the so-called hypocritical things you said .”
Jiang Yuelou could no longer say anything to refute, so she had to give up arguing with Bai Jinbo, and looked out the window holding her breath.
It was evening now, and the entrance of Tianyun Garden was extremely lively, with people coming and going, rickshaws and cars parked at the entrance.
A row of fiery red lanterns hung on the eaves of its main entrance, swaying in the wind, and could be seen from far away.
A car stopped, and Zhao Jingming got off the passenger first, respectfully opened the door of the back seat, Zhan Junbai got out of the car calmly, and adjusted his neat suit.
Tianyun Garden is a very large garden. Walking along the winding paths and paths, I feel relaxed and happy, quite artistic. At the end of the path is a gorgeous stage, with an antique layout, but there are many lights hanging on it, illuminating the stage like daytime.
The guests are located in the yard in front of the stage, and there are some scattered square tables with some tea, melon seeds, snacks, etc. on them. At this time, they are already full of guests, eating and chatting while waiting for the big show to start.
Naturally, Zhao Jingming and the others would not sit at these scattered tables, but entered from a rockery opposite the stage, walked up the stone steps, and soon reached the top of the rockery. There are several semi-enclosed small pavilions here as boxes, with excellent locations and excellent views.
Zhan Junbai walked into the box, looked around, walked to the window curtain and looked at the stage, and nodded with satisfaction: "I heard that Yutangchun's debut has always been hard to find. Brother Zhao even specially It’s a waste of money to rent out this day’s wing room.”
Zhao Jingming followed him, quickly waved his hands, and said modestly: "It's not worth mentioning. If you can satisfy you, it's worth the money."
Zhan Junbai found a seat at random, "Brother Zhao, I heard that Yuelou was a little presumptuous yesterday."
"This Jiangyuelou, I don't know who gave him the audacity to rob the customs documents." Zhao Jingming complained angrily.
Zhan Junbai smiled, and smoothed things over for his friend: "I know Yuelou better, and he is dedicated to the public. Brother Zhao, don't worry about it. Today's meal can be regarded as a resolution for you."
Zhao Jingming was waiting to respond when the door was pushed open, and a smiling Bai Jinbo and a reluctant Jiang Yuelou walked in one after the other.
Bai Jinbo greeted Zhan Junbai and Zhao Jingming warmly, but Jiang Yuelou's expression was not very good, and he stood silently aside. After everyone exchanged pleasantries, he barely opened his mouth to deal with it.
Looking at his expression, Zhan Junbai couldn't help but joked: "Whoever provoked Brother Jiang, this face looks like strangers don't get close."
"He's been pretending all day, it's not the case." Bai Jinbo turned his hands away, and ruthlessly tore the corner of Jiang Yuelou's clothes, implying that he should stop making a bad face.
Jiang Yuelou had no choice but to force a smile.
"Since it's dinner, let's not talk about these work matters, come and sit down." Zhan Junbai saw the small movements of the two in his eyes, and gave Jiang Yuelou a little deep look.
In the background, a slender figure sitting in front of the mirror, painting the eye makeup in front of the mirror, is Yu Tangchun, the famous actor of Tianyun Garden. He looks exquisite and elegant, dressed in Tsing Yi, there is no sense of disobedience, and he has a different kind of beauty.
Yuan Zining ran in cheerfully, stared at Yutangchun's makeup with a smile, and said, "Brother, it's almost time to go on stage, and I have to act carefully today. I heard from the head of the class that there are several important figures here. What about the Financial Secretary?" The ones at the police station are in the Tianzihao box."
The pen in Yutangchun's hand paused, his eyes wandered, he didn't know what he was thinking, he nodded after a while, and continued to paint with oil paint.
"Then I won't quarrel with you, prepare well." Yuan Zining smiled at Yu Tangchun in the mirror, turned and left.
At this time, Yu Tangchun really put down his pen, raised his eyes and looked at himself in the mirror, the eyes that should have been tender and sweet turned cold.
The lights on the stage gradually dimmed, the curtain was drawn, and the performance was about to begin.
In the soft music, the curtain was slowly opened, and Yutangchun dressed in green clothes, sang the fragment "Secret Discussion" from "The Peony Pavilion", and walked slowly to the center of the stage.
"Songs resounding in the breeze and the hall. Empty emerald green and cold neon clothes. Deep in the poolside lotus root and flowers, you can smell the fragrance at night. People are easy to grow old, things are difficult, and dreams are hard to last. A little affection, three parts of shallow soil, half of the setting sun..."
He has a soft figure, exquisite makeup, eye-catching eyes, and even more graceful singing, which won the applause of the audience.
As he sang, his eyes drifted inadvertently to the box on the rockery, and he didn't know what he was looking at.
Zhan Junbai in the box raised his hands and applauded, his eyes full of admiration: "Good!" The emerald dial on his wrist was exposed, and Yu Tangchun saw it.
He turned around while singing, with his back to the stage, everyone couldn't see his expression, no one knew that the smiling and tender eyes suddenly became full of hatred.
He hates Zhan Junbai.
After the song was sung, Yutangchun left the stage amidst applause, and several people in the box also discussed a few words, but Jiang Yuelou did not participate. His originally wandering eyes suddenly fell on a figure in the courtyard, it was Chen Yuzhi.
Why is he here? Jiang Yuelou frowned and thought, without saying hello, he hurriedly left the box and chased all the way out of Tianyun Garden.
"Chen Yuzhi." Jiang Yuelou yelled, seeing Chen Yuzhi pause for a moment, and soon continued walking as if he hadn't heard him.
He ran a few steps to close the distance between the two, and shouted again, only to get Chen Yuzhi's response.
"Chief Jiang, what can I do for you?"
Jiang Yuelou saw that he returned to the unfamiliar attitude before, even though he had a thousand words to say, he couldn't say it for a while, so he could only ask awkwardly: "Come to listen to the play?"
What he said really made Chen Yuzhi angry again, and he pointedly said: "Chief Jiang, I'm just here for a doctor's visit, you are so elegant." After finishing speaking, he turned around and left without waiting for his reaction.
Jiang Yuelou couldn't find anything else to say for a while, watching Chen Yuzhi walk away slowly, he couldn't help but sighed. He was about to walk back to Tianyun Garden, but when he saw Zhan Junbai standing at the door, he cheered up instantly.
"Director Zhan didn't listen to the show, why did he come out?" He didn't know when Zhan Junbai came, and he didn't know how much he had seen, so he instinctively didn't want him to pay too much attention to Chen Yuzhi.
Zhan Junbai glanced at the direction in which Chen Yuzhi walked away, and replied, "Brother Jiang is the same?"
"When you meet a friend, say hello."
Zhan Junbai smiled: "It's stuffy in the room, come out to take a breath."
The two talked and laughed, and walked towards Tianyun Garden together. Zhan Junbai turned his head and looked at the direction Chen Yuzhi left again, thoughtfully.
He really fell in love with Chen Yuzhi, and asked his adjutant Qiu Ming to investigate.
One day, he was flipping through documents in his study when Qiu Ming came in with a cup of coffee and put it beside his hand.
"Director, the matter you asked me to investigate has some clues."
Zhan Junbai looked up from a pile of documents, a little surprised: "So fast?"
"It's really smooth."
Zhan Junbai was very satisfied with Qiu Ming's work efficiency. After listening to his report, he took a sip of coffee and smiled on his face: "Things are done well. When can I bring him back at the earliest?"
"Before the weekend of next week." After Qiu Ming finished speaking, he stopped disturbing Zhan Junbai and continued to deal with official business, and quietly left the study.
Jiang Yuelou, Song Rong, and Sun Yongren hurried into the Office of the Chief of the Police Inspection Section, and immediately began to discuss the case.
"There is opium hidden in Nianchun Pavilion. The old bustard wanted to destroy it, but he was caught before he could." Song Rong handed the compiled materials to Jiang Yuelou.
Sun Yongren leaned over to look at it, and joked: "Nianchun Pavilion is quite well-developed, abducting and selling people, forced buying and selling, and now it's even infected with opium, tsk."
"The quantity is not large, and it is basically used for the entertainment of clients."
Jiang Yuelou quickly finished looking through the materials, and closed the folders together, "The source channel, I'm afraid it has nothing to do with Jinmatang."
Song Rong gave him a thumbs up: "You guessed it right, and it's our old acquaintance—Wang Meng."
Sun Yongren slapped the table and jumped up: "That Wang Meng who ran away!"
Jiang Yuelou looked dignified, thinking: "It's him?"
"Wang Meng is very cunning. This old bustard knows very little about him. Every time he trades, he is never in the Nianchun Pavilion. The time and place are all random."
Jiang Yuelou followed Song Rong's words and added: "Nianchun Pavilion is definitely not the only one they do business with. They won't pay attention to such a small amount. Unless..."
Song Rong understood: "Unless it is a business chain, in Guangzhou, not many."
"That's right. I'm afraid other brothels won't be able to escape either."
Sun Yongren suddenly became excited, clenched his fists and rattled, eager to try: "That's easy, I'll take the brothers to check from house to house, and make sure there is no leak."
Regarding his plan, Jiang Yuelou shook his head: "Treating the symptoms, not the root cause."
"Yes, it's useless to seal up these brothels. The source of opium must be found to solve the problem from the root." Song Rong stopped Sun Yongren and agreed with Jiang Yuelou.
Jiang Yuelou walked back to the desk and sat down. While opening the document for review, he ordered: "Don't act rashly, every brothel will send people to watch, and report any suspicious situations at any time. Besides, Song Rong, please stay."
Sun Yongren left the office to run an errand, while Song Rong was still standing at his desk, waiting for Jiang Yuelou's next words.
"How did the investigation go? Was there anyone suspicious in the government that night?"
It is easier to investigate the gangsters, but the government is not what they say they can investigate. Not only must the procedures be complete, but also under the pressure of Mayor Cai, Jiang Yuelou handed over the matter to Song Rong, who is more secure. to do.
Sure enough, Song Rong did not disappoint him, and immediately replied: "In addition to Commissioner Wu, there were also two departments, the City Defense Department and the Industry Department, who were meeting that night, but all the staff were in the conference room, and no one had the time or motive to commit the crime."
"Are you sure no one has left?"
Song Rong nodded: "The members of the meeting room can testify, and the guards in the building can also testify."
This is strange, Jiang Yuelou frowned and thought for a moment, then asked Song Rong to go on.
He turned over a piece of white paper on the table, and immediately revealed densely packed relationship diagrams.
Many people's names are written on the relationship diagram, and arrows are drawn between each other. Lucas pointed to the Golden Horse Hall, and the Golden Horse Hall wrote Wang Meng, and also wrote a mysterious figure whose name he did not know. Li Sihai on the other side pointed to Wu Shuwei, and Wu Shuwei also pointed to Jinmatang. The three names of Wu Shuwei, Jinmatang, and Lucas are uniformly marked with arrows pointing to a circle. There is no name in the circle, only three big question marks.
Jiang Yuelou looked at the analysis on the paper and fell into deep thought.
But after much deliberation, he still couldn't think of the key point, so he put away the relationship diagram and went to the director's office with the folder.
As soon as he entered the door, Bai Jinbo received a call, and his attitude immediately became respectful, "Yes, Mayor Cai, don't worry, we are already investigating..."
Cai Changyao on the other end of the phone was yelling something, so loudly that Jiang Yuelou could hear it across the desk. Bai Jinbo listened to the phone patiently, and looked at Jiang Yuelou worriedly: "Mayor Cai called again, how did you find the clues?"
"The enemy is dark and we are clear, we need to wait for the opportunity." Jiang Yuelou also knew that Bai Jinbo had taken a lot of pressure for him, and felt a little guilty, but there was really no progress now.
Bai Jinbo was quite worried, pacing back and forth in front of his desk: "Mayor Cai is not a patient person, Yuelou, you don't have much time."
"Understood. The pile of information brought back from the casino is almost unrecognizable, and there are no valuable clues. I have already been watched by people, and all I can do now is to wait for Wang Meng to appear, and follow the clues to find the new hiding place of Jinmatang , to find evidence that Wu Shuwei was in contact with them. But now there is one more tricky thing, who is the mysterious person who killed Wu Shuwei."
Bai Jinbo was already sweating in anxiety, picked up a handkerchief to wipe it with one hand, and pointed to Jiang Yuelou with the other and ordered: "This is the second, as long as you find Wu Shuwei's criminal evidence, you must pass Mayor Cai's test first. It doesn't matter who killed him."
He didn't expect Jiang Yuelou to refute his words with a serious face. "No, of course it's important! It's even more important than finding evidence! A mysterious person who doesn't know his identity seems to have a higher level than Wu Shuwei. How can such a person who can trigger a crisis at any time be unimportant?"
Bai Jinbo knew Jiang Yuelou well, and felt a little helpless about his stubbornness: "Yuelou, I'm doing it for your own good."
Jiang Yuelou still insisted on his own principles: "Thank you Director, I have my own criteria for judging."
"Forget it, forget it, as long as you know it in your heart."
After talking about the business, the atmosphere in the office was not so tense.
Jiang Yuelou noticed a dark look in Bai Jinbo's eyes, and there were some dark circles under his eyes, so he couldn't help asking with concern, "Did you not rest well last night?"
Bai Jinbo waved his hand with a wry smile, but didn't speak.
Knowing that he often misses his dead wife, Jiang Yuelou couldn't help persuading him: "Master's mother is in the spirit of heaven, so she probably doesn't want to see you torture herself like this."
"I know my own body. Finding Wu Shu as evidence is the top priority. Go get busy." Bai Jinbo closed his eyes, pinched the bridge of his nose, and issued the order to evict the guest.
Jiang Yuelou looked at the exhausted Bai Jinbo, and finally turned and left without saying anything.
At night, the originally clear starry sky was covered by dark clouds, and it began to drizzle, causing some small puddles to accumulate on the street, and the flashing neon lights were reflected on the wet ground, creating a special atmosphere.
Jiang Yuelou held a black umbrella and walked silently. The raindrops fell on the umbrella and slid down the curved umbrella surface, ticking, ticking, echoing his footsteps.
"Moon Tower!"
Suddenly hearing someone calling him, Jiang Yuelou withdrew his thoughts, stopped, looked around, and saw Zhan Junbai's car parked by the side of the road.
He walked over with an umbrella, saw Zhan Junbai getting out of the car, and quickly covered the two of them with the umbrella.
"You've been busy these two days. I called you three times but couldn't find you."
Jiang Yuelou reluctantly smiled at him: "What does Brother Zhan want from me?"
Zhan Junbai approached his ear, and said mysteriously: "It's a great happy event. Why don't we sit down and talk over tea?"
Jiang Yuelou glanced at Tingfeng Teahouse not far away, hesitated for a moment, and agreed.
Holding an umbrella, the two walked slowly towards the teahouse.
"Try it, it's boiled from the snow buried last winter."
When he arrived at the box of the teahouse, Zhan Junbai was not in a hurry to share the happy event, but poured a cup of tea for Jiangyuelou himself.
Jiang Yuelou had been waiting for his news. Seeing him like this, she felt a little helpless, and couldn't care less about tasting it, so she poured tea into her mouth in one gulp.
"Okay, I'll say that's it. Seeing how anxious you are, you've let down this good cup of tea." He poured himself a cup and drank it slowly, and then he announced: "I found Chen Keying."
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Yuelou stood up abruptly, his face full of shock.
"Brother Jiang, don't blame me. I seemed to have misunderstood you when I saw you that day. I thought we were all friends. After a little research, I found out about Chen Keying."
Jiang Yuelou looked at Zhan Junbai suspiciously, panicking in her heart, wondering how much Zhan Junbai knew, whether they also knew about everything in Hong Kong
"I heard that Chen Yuzhi even went to Suzhou to search for it for a while, but there was no progress."
As soon as Zhan Junbai said this, he dispelled Jiang Yuelou's suspicion, and he felt relieved.
He sat down as if nothing had happened, poured another cup of tea and respected Zhan Junbai: "After all, Director Zhan has great powers. Where did you find it?"
"She was sold to Hong Kong. You are busy with official duties all day, and you have no friends in Hong Kong. Naturally, you have no way to start."
Jiang Yuelou smiled, avoided the topic of Hong Kong, and said with emotion: "Chen Yuzhi must be very excited if he knows the news."
Unexpectedly, Zhan Junbai who told him the good news poured a bucket of cold water on him again. "I suggest you don't tell him yet. Actually, I'm not sure if this person is Chen Keying." He sighed with regret, "Poor child, he was sold and tortured crazy, so he can't Confirm with her. But from the looks, it should be her."
Jiang Yuelou didn't expect Chen Keying to encounter these misfortunes, and was shocked, with a look of guilt in his eyes, and his hands on the table unconsciously clenched into fists. He asked in a deep voice, "When will you come back?"
"Boat No. 5."
Jiang Yuelou hurriedly asked: "Brother Zhan, please let me know when the ship docks, and I will pick it up. I have seen Keying, and I recognize it."
"You want to confirm her identity first, and then tell Chen Yuzhi?"
Jiang Yuelou nodded: "If you give him hope, but in the end it doesn't, this kind of blow is unbearable. Then I would rather he never knew."
Zhan Junbai agreed, and refilled Jiang Yuelou's tea, but he was in no mood to drink any more.
At the same time, Chen Yuzhi was sitting at home, fingering the photo of him and Chen Keying.
There was a meow at the door, and the little white cat ran in familiarly, interrupting his thoughts.
He gently picked it up, sighed faintly: "It seems that your master has not come back yet."
