The Zhongjiang City Police Station is located in Dongcheng District of Zhongjiang City, a few stops away from the Hanfu Street Police Station where Su Le is located. It only takes ten minutes by car for Su Le to reach the city police station building.
Su Le first went to his mother Zhuang Ying's office and heard that Director Zhuang had gone to a meeting. Zhuang Ying was the deputy director in charge of inspection work at the Zhongjiang City Police Department.
Su Le came out of Director Zhuang's office and first went to the household registration office to get information about missing persons. In the information system, he found the list and information of all missing persons named Meng in Jiangbei Province, and was going to go back to the branch to study and investigate in detail. Then he sat down
The elevator goes to the floor where the criminal police detachment is located. The current captain of the criminal police detachment, Guan Jie, is Su Le's father's old partner during his lifetime, and he is also the person Su Le respects and trusts the most. Every time Su Le comes to the city bureau, Uncle Guan is the one he must see.
people.
When the elevator reached the middle, the door suddenly opened. Standing at the door of the elevator were Guan Jie and Su Le's mother, Zhuang Ying. Su Le stepped out of the elevator, walked over affectionately, grabbed Guan Jie's arm and shouted happily:
"Hello, Uncle Guan!"
Guan Jie also put his arm around Su Le's shoulders and patted her affectionately. Zhuang Ying saw the two of them being affectionate from the side, with a happy smile on his face, but he felt a little disappointed in his heart.
"Hey, sister-in-law, don't be jealous, Lele and I have been in love since childhood!" Guan Jie said jokingly to Zhuang Ying.
Only then did Su Le glance at Zhuang Ying and call out politely: "Mom."
"You two are a perfect couple! Lele has been disobedient since she was a child, and it's all because of you." Zhuang Ying said happily, looking at his son.
"That's what you said, sister-in-law. I'm used to Lele being admitted to the police academy." Guan Jie joked.
"Uncle Guan, are there any major cases recently?" Su Le asked Guan Jie anxiously.
"Yes! There are too many big cases. Come on, come and have a look with me." Guan Jie pulled Su Le and was about to enter the elevator when Zhuang Ying called him from behind:
"Hey, wait a moment. Lele, go to the office with me first."
"Well, since mom has something to do with you, I'll wait for you below." After Guan Jie said that, he turned around and got into the elevator.
Zhuang Ying poured a cup of hot tea and brought it to Su Le and said:
"Drink some water quickly. Your lips are dry. Be careful of getting angry!"
"Mom, what do you want from me?"
"The institute has been very busy in the past few days? Why haven't I seen you come home for several days?" Zhuang Ying asked.
"The owner of a dumpling restaurant has disappeared and is under investigation." Su Le replied.
"Are there any clues? Is it just your office investigating?"
"There are some clues, and Sister Hui and the others also got involved."
"Oh, that's good. You have to pay attention to rest and don't get tired."
"It's okay, Mom, I'm in good health."
"If you are in good health, you should also pay attention to rest. Only when you are well rested can you have the energy to work."
"I understand, Mom, if there's nothing else, I'll go out first." Su Le said impatiently.
"Hey, you kid, you want to run away without even saying a few words. I haven't even said anything about my business yet," Zhuang Ying said.
"Is there anything else to do?" Su Le asked puzzledly.
"That's right! Your sister Xiaohui has invited you to have dinner with a girl tonight. You must go." Zhuang Ying said with a straight face.
"I'm not going." Su Le refused without thinking.
"You kid! Just listen to mom this time and go for a trip." Zhuang Ying said with a smile on his face.
"Mom, you guys are too old-fashioned! Now all you need to do when introducing someone is to send a WeChat business card. Why do you need to eat?" Su Le said angrily.
"Yes, you are right, normal people are like this." Zhuang Ying became a little angry when he thought of this.
"Why am I abnormal?" Su Le muttered.
"How many girls have been pushed to you on WeChat? Have you added them?" Zhuang Ying glared at Su Le and said.
"Added, we are all chatting, why are you in a hurry!" Su Le said.
"Then show me your phone. I'll see if you have a chat." Zhuang Ying reached out and asked Su Le for the phone.
"Mom! Do you know this is an invasion of privacy?" Su Le didn't show any weakness.
"Then are you going today?"
"Don't go!"
"But Xiaohui said you promised her to go." Zhuang Ying looked at Su Le and said.
"I, I'm not free today." Thinking of He Xiaohui threatening him with the case, Su Le's tone softened.
"You have to go whether you have time or not! I'm not asking you to tell me whether to go or not today. Xiaohui said she has a way."
"Then why are you looking for me?" Su Le stood up to leave.
"Wait!" Zhuang Ying stood up and walked to the desk, took out a bag from behind the desk, returned to Su Le and said:
"These are new clothes I bought for you. You put them on when you go. Don't go wearing a police uniform and scare that girl again."
Su Le forgot to take a look at his mother, who had gray hair, and a warm feeling surged from the bottom of his heart. Since his father left, his mother had raised him alone. He had already joined the work, so he should not let his mother worry about him anymore. He thought
Here he took the bag, nodded, turned and walked out of the office.
Guan Jie was arranging tasks in the conference room of the Criminal Investigation Detachment. Su Le quietly opened the back door. When Guan Jie saw Su Le, he motioned for him to come in. Su Le found a seat in the back row and sat down quietly.
"Today's task is very arduous. We all need to work hard! It's not often that our three brigades attack together. Today is not about how you compete, but how you cooperate. Do you understand?"
Guan Jie's loud voice resounded in the conference room.
"I understand!" A louder reply sounded in the conference room.
"Okay! What we are facing today is an international drug trafficking organization. Our city bureau has cooperated with Interpol to track this criminal group for more than a year. Today it is finally time to close the network." Guan Jie then ordered:
"The first brigade is responsible for blocking the intersections around the joint hotel, the second brigade is responsible for dressing up outside the joint hotel for investigation, and the third brigade is responsible for dressing up as the hotel's security guards and waiters. Our task is to cooperate with the anti-drug detachment's actions and control the scene near the joint hotel.
, to prevent criminals from escaping. Do you all understand?"
"I understand!" came one reply in the conference room.
Su Le was sitting in the last row of seats. Hearing Guan Jie's arrangement, he couldn't help but be surprised. There weren't many cases where the only three teams of the Criminal Investigation Detachment were involved at the same time!
"Okay, I order all the team members participating in the operation to turn off their mobile phones and wait for the anti-drug detachment to issue an order for action!" After Guan Jie gave the order for action, he breathed a sigh of relief and looked at his watch.
At this time, the door of the conference room was suddenly opened, and a young detective made a standard salute at the door.
"Report!"
"Say, what's the matter?" Guan Jie asked.
"Receiving a report from Zerui County, downstream of Zhongjiang City, the body of a middle-aged man was found on the riverside." The young criminal policeman reported the news mechanically.
After hearing the young detective's report, Su Le stood up immediately. His keen intuition told him that this matter must be related to the disappearance case being investigated. So he raised his hand to Guan Jie in the back row of the conference room and pointed with his finger.
Guan Jie, the detective who came in just now to report, noticed Su Le's reaction and said to the young detective;
"You, follow me to the office."
Su Le followed Guan Jie and the young detective into Guan Jie's office, immediately grabbed the young detective and asked:
"You just said that a body was found in the lower reaches of the Zhongjiang River?"
"Yes, Zerui County just called and asked for support from the city bureau."
"Uncle Guan, I suspect that the body is related to the owner of the dumpling restaurant who disappeared a few days ago. Please accompany the team to the scene to investigate." Su Le then gave Guan Jie a general description of the disappearance case.
After hearing the case, Guan Jie asked:
"Who is currently responsible for the disappearance?"
"The case is now under the charge of the Dongcheng Criminal Police Brigade." Su Le replied.
"Okay, I'm very busy here. You can handle the body of the man in the river. I'll ask the people from the city bureau's technical investigation department to assist you." Guan Jie took out his phone and dialed a number:
"Dr. Qiao, we have work to do."
Su Le couldn't hear clearly what was said on the other end of the phone, but he could probably guess some clues. After all, there was no one in the Zhongjiang City police system who didn't know Dr. Qiao's name.
"Take your people to Zerui County immediately. The body of a middle-aged man was found in the river."
A vague question came from the other end of the phone.
"You'll know when you get to the scene. Okay, I'll make arrangements right away." A proud smile appeared on Guan Jie's face and he hung up the phone.
Guan Jie glanced at Su Le and immediately dialed another number. The phone was picked up as soon as it rang.
"Xiao He, a middle-aged man's body was found in the river in Zerui County. Su Le has already reported the situation to me. You can take over this case now."
"Yes!" Su Le could hear He Xiaohui's excited voice coming from the receiver of the mobile phone far away.
"I have informed Dr. Qiao to come and assist you." Guan Jie said.
"Okay." He Xiaohui replied.
"Dr. Qiao ordered not to salvage the body yet, but to salvage it after he arrives." Guan Jie continued.
"Received, I will arrange it immediately." He Xiaohui replied.
Su Le didn't wait for Guan Jie to finish the call and ran out the door. As soon as he got from the elevator to the lobby on the first floor, he received a call from He Xiaohui.
"Okay, Lele, you have made a meritorious service!" He Xiaohui's excited voice came from the phone.
Since she was transferred to the Dongcheng Branch, she has almost never encountered a murder case. Even if a murder occurs in the Dongcheng area, it is directly involved by the municipal bureau detachment. Their brigade has no involvement, and at most they do some errands. Guan Jie
This time, the case was directly handed over to He Xiaohui, which made her extremely excited.
"I haven't seen the body yet, so what kind of merit have I accomplished?"
"If you can snatch the case, it will be considered a meritorious service."
"Oh, this case belongs to us. Besides, everyone is busy with major drug-related cases."
"Okay, we'll leave right away. You and Dr. Qiao go directly to the scene." The sound of He Xiaohui opening and closing the car door came from the phone.
