readx(); Time goes back a little bit, let's review what happened before Meng Jing Zen contacted Feng Bujue...
When Brother Chan called Gui Xiao's home, it was about 11:20, and Gui Xiao's mother happened to be at home; after communicating with each other, it was discovered that Gui Xiao had left the company since 7 am, but hadn't returned home yet. Didn't call home either.
If it was on other days, they might not think too much about it.
After all, Gui Xiao is seventeen years old, and he is a boy, so generally speaking, he would not think about kidnapping. Even his family guessed... This kid might have lost his phone and ran to report the crime by himself.
However, this day is not an ordinary day... It is the day of a crucial game.
Meng Jingchan... can faintly feel something is wrong from this matter.
Everyone can see from Brother Chan's disposition of smoking and drinking hot, and the mantra "Don't look at me now, I was like that before", this is a young man with social experience...
To be on the safe side, he specifically went to the senior management of the Order Studio and reported the matter...
As for star players, words carry a lot of weight, and besides... his suspicions are indeed justified.
The leadership of Order also quickly realized the seriousness of the situation, and this uneasy atmosphere gradually fermented as time went on...
By two o'clock in the afternoon, Gui Xiao was still out of contact. At this time, his family members naturally realized that the situation was different, and suddenly became more anxious than anyone else.
So, they reported it.
Brother Chan is not only Gui Xiao's colleague, but also one of the last few people who had contact with him, and the two of them have a good personal relationship.
Therefore, Meng Jingchan took the initiative to come to the Public Security Bureau, wanting to assist in the investigation.
Unfortunately, things didn't go as smoothly as expected...
It's not that...you go to the Public Security Bureau to report a case, and a whole team of police forces will immediately rush to your case to collect evidence and investigate, and quickly solve the case within a few hours.
Only robbery and homicide cases involving serious violence will receive this treatment.
As for general cases of property theft (especially if the amount is not too large), and this kind of disappearance case (non-children, men, missing for less than a day), let’s talk about it.
Do you know how many small property infringement cases happen every year... no... every day? Some victims didn't even report the crime. Because they also know that even if they report to the police, the things will most likely not be recovered.
And the number of missing persons every year... Let's put it this way... There are probably as many living people lost in our country every year as there are lost mobile phones.
In short... For this type of case, when reporting the case, it is basically to make a record and register it. And then... wait.
How long do you have to wait, it might be...
Of course, the investigation work will still be carried out normally, even if there are not many people and the efficiency is not high. What? You want them to set up a task force on your case. Send two teams of people to take turns to show you the video, go to the field, and analyze the case? It's ok... You probably know the director, and it's okay if you don't know the director...
As mentioned earlier, Ma Junxiao's parents are working-class people, to put it more simply - ordinary people. There is no right to speak, let alone any privileges. And he himself is not considered a big shot, if you have to say that he is a public figure... The title of "star player" in the eyes of the public security department is extremely high, and it belongs to the same level as second- and third-tier actors.
To sum up, the progress of the investigation was quite anxious, and there was a 20-minute queue to report the case; after the queue, there was only one police officer in charge of reception, waiting for Gui Xiao's parents and brother Chan to explain the situation one after another. It was almost half past three, and the police were ready to call the street surveillance near the order office building.
Seeing this, Brother Chan has nothing to do, let's go out of the relationship... So, he contacted the company's senior management again, and there was no second word, isn't it just going out of the relationship? Don't worry, the relationship... We have it. When you come out to mix, you can go up to the wealthy businessmen, down to the local hooligans, and you can mix up to the top of the industry. There must be a network... also known as "guanxi". Gui Xiao's significance to the game is self-evident, and it directly involves the interests of the studio. Even if he is regarded as an "asset", it is worthwhile to use the relationship.
result. Less than ten minutes after Meng Jingchan made the phone call, the task force... got up.
These days, as long as you have someone above you, everything is easy to handle. Understaffed, right? Let the police officers resting at home to work overtime, why are they on call 24 hours a day? Serve the people.
After four o'clock, the investigation progressed rapidly. The bureau sent seven or eight people to sit there to watch the surveillance, and the route before the disappearance was quickly found out; five police cars were dispatched from the field to interrogate witnesses along Gui Xiao's get off work route.
With a two-pronged approach, the police quickly determined the approximate time of the disappearance, and locked a white van and three suspects, basically confirming that it was a kidnapping incident.
However... just when Brother Chan breathed a sigh of relief and wanted to hide in the toilet cubicle to defecate and smoke a cigarette... something happened that made him shudder.
This thing is really a coincidence...
Brother Zen is a person who likes to squat to do things, and the toilet he went to was filled with toilets, so this guy squatted on the edge of the toilet without a conscience.
He had just squatted down on his front feet and was about to light a cigarette, when he heard a sound outside the cubicle on his back feet, as if someone had walked into the toilet.
When this man walked in, he was already talking on his mobile phone. He lowered his voice and said, "Why are you calling now? I'm in the bureau... It's not convenient to speak..." He walked in while talking, and then thought I didn't even want to lock the door of the toilet from the inside.
After locking the door, he took a few steps sideways, peeking from the bottom one by one to see if anyone was in each compartment...
It may be because of a guilty conscience, this person instinctively holds the phone with one hand, and shields the other hand next to his mouth to block the sound, which makes him unable to turn the doorknob of the compartment... without turning the handle, the compartment cannot be opened The door... can't open the compartment door, so he's looking from underneath...
And Brother Zen... squatted on the toilet, and his feet could not be seen from the outside.
By mistake, Meng Jingchan started to eavesdrop so smoothly...
"Okay... there's no one around, go ahead..." After the man checked, he stood by the sink and raised his voice slightly.
After hearing the guy's first two words, Meng Jingchan thought that the man had received a call from Xiaosan.
But... After listening for thirty seconds, Brother Chan was startled.
The man standing outside the cubicle was surnamed Zheng, the deputy director of the branch, and the unknown person who called him... was instructing him to delay the investigation on the phone.
Judging from Deputy Director Zheng's tone. Either he has received bribes from others or he has a handle in their hands... In short, he should be ready to do so.
Anyway, delaying the investigation is not difficult to implement, and the risk after implementation...is not great. Because this kind of behavior is difficult to define after the fact... What do you mean by procrastination? Procrastination can also be said to be cautious, and excessive caution leads to delays in time. Can it be called procrastination? Even if it did lead to some bad consequences in the end, what evidence do you have that this "delay" is intentional
About two minutes later, Deputy Director Zheng finished calling.
As for Brother Chan in the cubicle... He half took off his pants, stepped on the edge of the toilet, squatted halfway, held a cigarette in one hand, and a lighter in the other... Maintaining this posture, he didn't dare to make a sound.
Not to mention the addiction to cigarettes, the addiction to shit has been suppressed by him...
After Deputy Director Zheng hung up the phone, he washed his hands in front of the sink. He looked in the mirror, and then he turned around...
"Hmm..." It may be due to years of experience in criminal investigation work, or it may be due to suspicious nature, he suddenly thought of opening all the doors of the compartments to confirm again...
click—
Soon, he opened the door of the compartment next to Brother Chan and glanced inside.
no one…
Then, the sound of his footsteps came to the door of the compartment in front of Brother Chan...
At that moment, Meng Jingchan's heart was in his throat, and the only way he could think of was... to pretend that he was a deaf-mute, to fool around for a while...
pong pong pong—
Just when Deputy Director Zheng was about to open the second door. There was a knock on the door of the toilet.
"Hey! Who's inside! Open the door!" A man's voice came from outside, "Who closed the toilet door? Open the door!"
Judging from his tone, it seems that he is in a hurry...
Deputy Director Zheng pursed his lips when he heard the sound, walked over there quickly, and opened the door of the toilet.
"Get out of the way..." The person who came in was not a policeman, and he didn't know the deputy director in front of him. The elder brother unceremoniously pushed Deputy Zheng away, and rushed to the first cubicle. When he closed the door of the cubicle, he was still cursing, "The public toilet is still locked! Fuck you! "
then. There was a sound like thunder and fire in the compartment, and there was a smell that made life worse than death.
"Ah—" After a few seconds, the man exhaled comfortably.
Before his sex was finished, Deputy Director Zheng covered his nose and escaped from this toilet far away...
And Meng Jing Zen. Also with the help of this "brother in urgent need" ... he narrowly escaped the catastrophe.
...
Back to the present, the waiting hall of the police station.
Nearly forty minutes had passed since I didn't realize they had arrived. During the period, Meng Jingchan first told them about his previous experience and what he knew, and then took Jue Ge and Xiao Tan to greet Gui Xiao's parents, introducing them as "Xiao Xiao's friends." .
then. Feng Bujue went to make a few phone calls alone...
At 6:20 in the afternoon, a black Phaeton stopped at the gate of the police station again, and a person got out from the passenger seat.
The man was dressed in a black suit, with a well-proportioned appearance and a serious expression.
When he passed by Xiao Tan's silver Porsche, he glanced sideways before continuing on.
Not long after, he walked into the waiting hall, glanced over, and met Brother Jue and the others.
"Hey, Mr. Bao, here we come." Feng Bujue stepped forward with a smile, and greeted the secret agent of the Nine Divisions.
"I said..." Bao Qing was not polite to him, and replied directly, "The Porsche at the door belongs to Xiaotan, right?"
"Yeah." Xiao Tan replied immediately.
"You parked at that place, you will be fined, you know that?" It turned out that Bao Qing was entangled in this matter.
"Uh... Jue Ge specifically asked me to stop there..." Xiaotan replied.
"Don't worry, Lao Bao." Feng Bujue smiled, "The more aggressive the car, the more no one will dare to post a note once it stops in front of the law enforcement agency."
"Although the relationship between you and the law enforcement agencies has always been tense, is it really okay for you to stand in their office building like a black family..." Bao Qingxu complained.
"Hehe... Then let's do a social experiment when we have time to see who will post it." Feng Bujue shrugged, "I tell you... whoever dares to post will be the pillar of society."
"Okay, okay..." Bao Qing waved his hands without talking to him, "Let's get down to business first."
To make a long story short, after a few brief chats, Feng Bujue introduced Bao Qing and Brother Chan, and then, Bao Qing showed his ID to a police officer...
Five minutes later, the four of them were sitting in the director's office...
After entering the room, Bao Qing just greeted the bureau chief, showed his ID again, and then... handed over a mobile phone.
After the director took the phone, he walked into the next room.
At this point in the development of the matter, Meng Jingchan had basically fallen into a state of brain short-circuit, and he could not see that their eyes could no longer calm down.
"This...Brother Bao." Brother Chan asked curiously, "I don't know where you got a high school?"
"Civil servant." Bao Qing only answered three words.
"Uh..." For this answer that is equivalent to saying nothing, Brother Chan naturally wants to ask, "Specifically refers to..."
"Civil servant." Bao Qing looked at Meng Jingchan with a smile on his face, and repeated these three words with emphasis.
With Brother Chan's cleverness, he will understand after hearing this... no need to ask any more.
"Speaking of... who's on the other end of the phone?" Feng Bujue also turned to look at Bao Qing and asked.
"On the other end of the phone, there is a person who has the power to decide many things." Bao Qing replied, "And that person who has the power to decide many things just chatted with a 'your and my acquaintance' ten minutes ago. "
"Oh..." Feng Bujue said, "So he came to chat with the chief now..."
"It seems that they have finished chatting." When Bao Qing answered these words, the director just came back from the next room.
"Sir." The director walked up to Bao Qing with a serious face, "Next... what are your plans?"
Before Bao Qing could reply, Feng Bujue, who was sitting slumped on the sofa with Erlang's legs crossed, hurriedly said: "Pack up all the investigation materials so far and upload them to the computer here, and let Zheng be interrogated by the way." Stand by in the room..." He finished quickly, and added, "Oh, by the way, don't forget to confiscate his mobile phone as soon as possible."
"Hey...too arrogant..." Seeing this scene, Meng Jingchan looked at Brother Jue in astonishment, and complained in his heart.
But the bureau chief didn't react too much. After listening, he just looked at Bao Qing silently.
"Oh..." Mr. Bao sighed, and said to Mr. Director, "Just do as he said..."(.)
