Chapter 208 Visiting the Northwest Police Department
Zhuang Ying finished listening to the reports of He Xiaohui and Su Le in his office, and said to them with a solemn expression:
"This matter is not simple."
"The banker, so we are considering finding someone familiar to understand the situation first. If this kind of thing is reported directly through formal channels, it may be counterproductive," He Xiaohui said.
"If the evidence falls into the hands of someone related to the Xie family, it may be lost forever," Su Le said.
"I don't know if this person I know is related to the Xie family. However, I can guarantee that he will never do anything to harm the reputation of the police." Zhuang Ying said.
"Who is this person?" Su Le asked.
"Before I tell you, I have a condition that you must agree to."
"What conditions?"
"You hand over the evidence to him, and he will make arrangements to solve the case later, so you don't need to participate anymore," Zhuang Ying said.
"But Liu Heng's sacrifice is related to our case, so we can't just ignore it," Su Le said.
"The place where the case occurred is not within our jurisdiction, and it is in line with procedure to handle it separately."
"I agree with the banker's opinion. This case is not within our jurisdiction and will not be handed over to us for investigation," He Xiaohui said.
"Okay then, I'll just listen to you." Su Le said helplessly.
"Dealer, who are you talking about?" He Xiaohui asked.
"The person I'm introducing to you once worked in our Zhongjiang Bureau for a period of time, and was later transferred to Northwest Province. He is currently the deputy director in charge of criminal affairs at the Northwest Province Police Department. His name is Du Kaige."
"Oh, so you are talking about Director Du. I didn't know that he is now the deputy director." He Xiaohui said.
"Do you know him?" Su Le asked.
"No, Director Du had already been transferred when I came here. I just often heard about his reputation. When I first came here, I often heard my colleagues say how young and promising Director Du was, how upright he was, and how clever he was.
The pride of our Zhongjiang police community." He Xiaohui said.
"Well, Xiaohui is right. When I first entered the police station, I followed Director Du." Zhuang Ying said.
"Ah, mom, have you also been a detective?" Su Le asked in surprise.
"Why, doesn't it look like it?" Zhuang Ying asked with a smile.
"I've heard that Zhuang Ju was a sharpshooter before and won the championship in provincial competitions," He Xiaohui said.
"Oh, I said my marksmanship is so good, it turns out it is hereditary." Su Le said proudly.
"Haha, this flattery is quite good." He Xiaohui joked.
"Mom, why didn't you become a detective later?" Su Le asked.
"I was injured once during an operation, and my health has not been good since then, so I stopped working as a detective. That time, it was thanks to your father who carried me down the mountain on his back, and I saved my life." Zhuang Ying said.
"Haha, mom, this is called a hero saving a beauty." Su Le said with a smile.
"Oh, Lele, I find that your speaking skills are getting better and better. This sentence of hero saving beauty praises both father and mother." He Xiaohui said.
"I learned all of this from Captain He," Su Le said.
"Hahaha." The three of them laughed together.
The huge Airbus A330 plane landed smoothly at Chang'an Airport. After getting off the plane, He Xiaohui and Su Le went straight to the Northwest Provincial Police Department and came to the office of Du Kaige, the deputy director in charge of criminal investigation.
"Hey, welcome, welcome, my two little fellows." Du Kaige stood up from behind his desk and walked to the door to greet He Xiaohui and the others.
"Hello, Director Du!" He Xiaohui and Su Le looked at the gray-haired, energetic and strong old man in front of them and saluted with a standard military salute.
"Okay, okay, sit down quickly and have a glass of water." Du Kaige poured two cups of tea himself and brought them to them.
"Oh, not bad!" Du Kaige looked at them and said:
"Yingzi told me that one is Zhengyang's apprentice and the other is Zhengyang's son. It is true that a strong general has no weak soldiers."
"Director Du, you have given me the award."
"Oh, it's just a pity, that boy Zhengyang left too early." Du Kaige looked a little sad when he said this.
"Director Du, we are here to trouble you this time," Su Le said.
"Hey, what's the trouble? Yingzi probably told me that we must not let this kind of thing go by and crack down hard on the criminals. Please tell me the detailed story."
Su Le and He Xiaohui spent a long time telling Du Kaige the ins and outs of the case in detail, and presented the evidence they had obtained so far to Du Kaige one by one.
After listening to their stories, Du Kaige fell into deep contemplation. He lit a cigarette and walked back and forth in the office for a quarter of an hour. During this quarter of an hour, Su Le and He Xiaohui looked at each other with bated breath.
This veteran criminal policeman, who has experienced many battles, feels both anxious and expectant in his heart.
"Finding a case is of great importance. I want to talk to a few leaders. Let's do this." Du Kaige stopped, glanced at the watch on his wrist and said to them:
"You guys go to the hotel to rest first, and I'll treat you to dinner."
He Xiaohui and Su Le stood up and said:
"No need, Director Du, you're so busy, we can just have some food ourselves."
"How can that be done? Zhengyang's apprentice and son are here. If I don't invite him to dinner, Yingzi will accuse me of being stingy." Du Kaige said with a smile.
In the restaurant of the police station guest house, Du Kaige kept apologizing as soon as he showed up:
"Oh, I'm so sorry. You are all so hungry. Look, it's already nine o'clock in the evening."
"We're not hungry, Director Du." Su Le said quickly.
"I'm not hungry. It's a lie that I'm not hungry. Don't talk about you, I'm starving. Come on, come on, eat quickly." Director Du greeted them and sat down.
"I have already implemented this matter for you. Let's have some food first and explain it to you in detail later." Du Kaige said while stuffing food into his mouth hungrily.
The three of them ate for a while and almost filled their stomachs. Du Kaige asked the waiter to open a bottle of wine and fill it for the three of them. He picked up the wine glass and said:
"Come on, two fellows, I, Lao Du, will greet you. Welcome to the northwest."
"Thank you, Director Du."
"After you left today, I immediately reported this matter to the director. The director took this matter very seriously. He ordered me to form a task force to investigate the matter secretly."
"Ah, that's great." Su Le said.
"But, I still want to ask you two for a favor."
"Director Du, just arrange it," He Xiaohui said.
"I would like to invite Su Le to join my task force and let us solve this case together," Du Kaige said.
"Ah, that's great." Su Le said excitedly.
"But, Director Du, we have promised the village bureau that we will no longer be involved in this matter." He Xiaohui said in embarrassment.
"Oh, that's easy. I'll call Yingzi." After Du Kaige said that, he immediately picked up the phone and dialed Zhuang Ying's number.
"Oh, Director Du, these two children are causing trouble for you," Zhuang Ying said on the other end of the phone.
"It's not troublesome. They provided me with good clues, allowing us to eliminate the bugs in the police system. It's a good thing."
"Oh, it seems you are ready to take action."
"Yes, but I also want to ask you to do a little favor."
"Director Du, you're welcome. If you have anything to do, just ask."
"Haha, then I just said, I want to borrow your Sule for a while." Du Kaige said with a smile.
"Ah, this matter, Du Bureau, can't you change someone?" Zhuang Ying said a little embarrassed.
"Yingzi, I understand your concerns. As a mother, you all think this way. There is nothing wrong with it. However, you also have to think about your children and the honor of the police."
"I know, Du Ju."
"This time, I have selected criminal investigation elites from across the country to solve the case. Let Su Le participate. Firstly, he has a better understanding of the case, and secondly, it will give him training. This is a very rare and good opportunity."
"Okay, I agree with Du Bureau's arrangement."
"Haha, don't worry, I will find a way to ensure the safety of every police officer."
"Thank you, Duju."
After hanging up the phone from Zhuang Ying, Du Kaige turned to Su Le and said:
"Okay, done."
"Thank you, Director Du." Su Le stood up and gave Du Kaige a military salute.
"You don't need to go back. I have issued a summons this afternoon and all members will report in tomorrow afternoon."
"Yes!" Su Le saluted again with a military salute.
In the afternoon of the next day, Su Le arrived at the conference room of the Northwest Provincial Police Department early. While looking at the case information, he waited anxiously for the arrival of his new colleagues.
The door of the conference room was pushed open, and a young policeman walked in with a burly policeman with a Chinese character face, about thirty years old, and dark skin. The young policeman said:
"Officer Yuan, please wait here. Others will be here soon."
Su Le stood up and looked at the officer Yuan in front of him, feeling the majestic temperament on his body. Su Le stretched out his hand and said:
"My name is Su Le, from the Zhongjiang City Police Department."
Upon seeing this, Officer Yuan quickly stretched out his hands to hold Su Le's hand and said in an authentic northwest accent:
"My name is Yuan Fenghua, from Chang'an Police Department."
"It seems that you are here to join the task force?" Su Le asked.
"Yes, Officer Su is also on the task force, right?" Yuan Fenghua said.
The two were standing there chatting when the door of the conference room was pushed open again, and a slender young female police officer was ushered in. Su Le immediately greeted her warmly:
"Liang Fu, I didn't expect you to come too."
"Ah, isn't this Su Le? I didn't expect us to be colleagues again." Liang Fu also said with a surprised look on her face.
"Haha, let me introduce you. This is the policewoman Liang Fu from the Haizhou City Police Department." Su Le introduced to Yuan Fenghua.
Three people were sitting in the conference room exchanging local customs. The door of the conference room was opened again, and this time two people came in at the same time. One of them looked to be about thirty-seven or eighteen years old, short in stature, thin in build, with dark skin.
He is fair and looks like a scholar. The other police officer is about forty years old, of medium height and slightly fat, with a smile on his face and a pair of small eyes that are extremely sharp.
"Haha, it seems we are the latest to arrive. My name is Geng Yuanliang, from the Beidu City Police Department." The older policeman said with a smile.
"My name is Zhu Xingguang, from Shanzhou City Police Department." said the thin policeman.
Su Le and the three of them stood up and introduced themselves. The five people took their seats on both sides of the conference table. Deputy Director Du Kaige strode in.
