Chapter 58: Loneliness (Happy Mid-Autumn Festival!)

Views:

After arresting the criminals, they conducted surprise interrogations overnight and held meetings overtime.

After the sixth case investigation meeting ended this Sunday, Cheng Bin walked out of the bureau building. Gu Xiaojun had already been waiting for him downstairs. Many people greeted Cheng Bin along the way, all with a happy look on their faces. Some said, "Deputy Director Cheng, congratulations, congratulations..."

Some who have a good relationship with him said directly, "So fierce... Director Cheng... Combat heroes are different!"

Some of them looked at him with respect and nodded.

Cheng Bin responded one by one and came to Gu Xiaojun's side.

"Every time a case is solved, the most troublesome thing is to go through the procedures... After the investigation is completed, it is transferred to the procuratorate for review. Especially for major and complex cases like this, if there is any unclear fact or incomplete evidence chain, it has to be returned for supplementary investigation... In comparison, it is still more exciting to be out there and handle cases!" Gu Xiaojun said, "You must be exhausted from the meetings."

"You just can't sit still. You prefer to be active rather than quiet!" Cheng Bin smiled.

"You're the leader, and I'm just an errand boy." Gu Xiaojun curled his lips and moved closer, obviously having received some information. "What did the higher-ups say... Are they planning to promote you as the guardian of Shanhai City?"

"The propaganda department, newspapers, and TV stations are discussing the plan, and I will cooperate with them when the time comes."

The solution of the June 2nd case and the destruction of the kidnapping gang of Liu Zhiguo, nicknamed "Lao Niu". The fact that this case that shocked the whole province was solved so quickly is in itself a deterrent to crime and a reflection of Shanhai City's public security achievements.

The media was blocked a few days ago, but now the news department is cooperating with the public security agency's announcement and preparing for the first wave of reports.

"The follow-up of this case still needs to be investigated. Other cases involving Liu Zhiguo are still very complicated. During the surprise interrogation yesterday, we thought we could pull out the carrot and bring out the mud. As a result, one of his subordinates named Wang Chen revealed that this was the first time he committed a crime with 'Old Cow' Liu Zhiguo. Before committing the crime, he followed Liu Zhiguo's instructions to leave Hong Kong and go to a remote village in Thailand for training... Liu Zhiguo is very powerful over there. He is likely to be cultivating a criminal gang... Every time he commits a crime, he selects a group of people from them. In fact, there are many criminals who have participated in his other cases. Now they are dead, so there is no evidence..."

Cheng Bin gritted his teeth.

Liu Zhiguo was shot dead, but he was cunning and treacherous. He replaced his followers in every case. As for where these replaced people went and whether they are still alive, there is no way to know... This also made it impossible to investigate and close the previous suspected serial crimes because of the interruption of clues. Justice for the victims naturally could not be fully served... Their families may never wait for the final explanation.

"Zhang Qiubei, the provincial expert, still disagrees with the merger of the unsolved cases we found, so this can only be left unsolved."

Cheng Bin said, "Secondly, the city held a meeting and decided to adopt a blockade strategy for Cheng Ran and Mayor Li's daughter. Liu Zhiguo is involved in a lot of forces behind him, and he may just be the tip of the iceberg. I, Cheng Bin, hope that those criminals will come to me for revenge... But if Cheng Ran and the Li family girl are exposed, the personal safety of the two students will not be guaranteed. So for the sake of protection, the role they played in this incident will be concealed from the media... and will not be reported to the public."

Gu Xiaojun frowned, "Although this is not reported to the public, many people in the bureau know about this... There are many people who know about this during the whole process... It is still difficult to conceal it..."

“Some senior police officers know their limits and won’t say anything irresponsible to outsiders… As for some rumors that have spread out, since there are no official announcements or media reports, whoever wants to believe them is free!” Cheng Bin didn’t care.

Gu Xiaojun thought about it and nodded, "That's true. If I hadn't experienced this before, I wouldn't have believed that a middle school student discovered and pursued a criminal. Two students fought against the vicious criminal! What a strong psychological quality this must have..."

"Speaking of psychological quality..." Gu Xiaojun said, "Cheng Ran and his friend rode their bikes to a hardware store to buy something, but he slipped and bumped into someone, and confirmed that they had a gun... From this, he discovered that there was something wrong with this group of people... How could he be sure that it was a real gun? And not a toy gun sold in a store on the street?"

Cheng Bin said, "First, let's observe... A group of people like that, carrying guns, even if they are imitation guns, probably have bad intentions, and may threaten others to commit crimes by mistaking the fake for the real thing. Real guns have weight and different textures. The sound of the structural parts after the collision can be clearly identified, and the other party's reaction is so big. Combined with these various factors, it should be possible to confirm that the other party is a major criminal suspect... But these are things that people like us can judge... Cheng Ran..."

Gu Xiaojun took out a cigarette, knocked out a cigarette, and lit it in his mouth. "You usually treat the four brothers as naughty kids who don't care about you if you don't see them... In the end, you still underestimated this nephew! He was not afraid of danger, and he was even able to calmly judge based on clues and use tire tracks to track... After finding the hostage's lair, the hostage was about to be killed by Shen Hu, but he responded by pretending to be crazy and stupid to lure the host away... He was also able to use the environment to set a trap on the spot."

"That was a trap, wasn't it? The suspect fell into a crack in the mountain. Although Cheng Ran said that the suspect was careless, this group of people are good at escaping in the mountains and forests. How could they accidentally fall into the crack? The truth is that they used branches and thick dead pine needles to cover the crack in advance. Cheng Ran borrowed Li's girl's clothes and asked Li to lurk on the other side of the broken crack. After he led the criminal up the mountain, he immediately hid in a depression that concealed his body, and Li's girl appeared from the other side. Her pants were exactly the same pink. The other party didn't think much about it and fell into the trap."

"After he fell into the trap, Liu Zhiguo chased him and shot him dead. The sound of the gunshot was just discovered by us..."

"When they interrogated the criminals, they all revealed without exception that the man was pretending to be crazy and stupid. He first hawked sweet potatoes, then pretended to be looking for someone... and then he even recited a poem... This made the bandit leader Liu Zhiguo unable to listen to it anymore, so he ordered the man who fell into the crack to kill him..."

Gu Xiaojun laughed first, "Reciting poetry in front of a group of vicious bandits... This is simply... What a big heart and what a calm courage to do it..."

"Old Cheng, our nephew is extraordinary... Who knows, he may become the most remarkable person in the Cheng family in the future!"

Cheng Bin also lit a cigarette, and leaned against the door of the Santana with Gu Xiaojun. He took a deep puff, raised his head and exhaled the smoke.

Soon the reports that will appear on the city television will awaken the drowsy city in front of them.

At this moment, Cheng Bin suddenly felt lonely.

He recalled how worried his family was when he sent Cheng Ran home, compared to sometimes when he came home and found only the couple alone.

It seems that having a child whom you can worry about, and then watch him grow up slowly, until he grows up to be a child that you can no longer control, but you can be proud of... is not an unacceptable thing...

Happy Mid-Autumn Festival!

My brothers and sisters who took out 36-meter maces and 40-meter broadswords from behind their backs yesterday, and dropped countless blades, please touch your chests, don’t you feel any pain in your conscience

There will be another update today, scheduled for the evening of flowers, moon and autumn fragrance, and then the first volume will be concluded. The last chapter, I hope it is written better.
