Going back in time a little, let us first review what happened before Meng Jingchan 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 the two parties communicated, they found that Gui Xiao had left the company at 7 o'clock in the morning, but had not returned home until now.
I didn’t even call home.●⌒,.
On other days, they might not think too much about it.
After all, Gui Xiao is seventeen years old, and he is a boy. Generally speaking, he would not think about kidnapping. Even his family members guessed that... this kid might have lost his cell phone and ran to report the crime himself.
.
However, this day is not an ordinary day...but the day of a crucial game.
Meng Jingzen... could faintly feel that something was wrong from this matter.
Everyone can tell from Brother Chan's temperament of smoking and drinking hot drinks, as well as his catchphrase "Don't look at me now, I was like this before", that this is a young man with social experience...
To be on the safe side, he went to the top management of Order Studio and reported the matter...
As a star player, his words carry some weight. Besides...his suspicion is 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 naturally noticed that something was wrong, and they suddenly became more anxious than anyone else.
So, they reported the crime.
Brother Chan is not only Gui Xiao's colleague, but also one of the last few people who had contact with him. Their personal relationship is not bad.
Therefore, Meng Jingchan took the initiative to come to the Public Security Bureau and wanted to assist in the investigation.
Unfortunately, things are progressing far less smoothly than expected...
It does not mean that... if you go to the public security bureau to report a case, a whole team of police will immediately rush to your case to collect evidence and investigate, and the case will be solved quickly within a few hours.
Only robberies and homicides involving serious acts of violence will receive this treatment.
As for general property infringement cases (especially if the amount is not too large), and this kind of disappearance case (non-child, male, missing for less than a day), there are two separate issues.
Do you know how many small-scale property theft cases occur every year... no... every day? Some victims don't even report the crime. Because they also know that even if they report the crime, the things will most likely not be recovered.
As for the missing persons every year... let's put it this way... the number of missing people in our country every year may be as many as the number of lost mobile phones.
In short...for this kind of case, when reporting a crime, you basically make a record and register it. Then...wait.
How long will it take to wait, maybe...
Of course, the investigation work will still be carried out normally, but there are not many people and the efficiency is not very high. What? You want them to set up a task force for your matter. Send two teams to take turns to watch the video for you and go to the field.
Analyzing the case? Yes... As long as you know the director, it's probably enough. If it doesn't help, it's okay...
As mentioned earlier, Ma Junxiao's parents are both working-class people. To put it more informally, they are ordinary people. They have no right to speak, let alone any privileges. And he himself is not a big shot. You have to say that he is a public figure.
In terms of characters...the title of "star player" is extremely high in the eyes of the public security department and is on the same level as second- and third-tier actors.
To sum up, the progress of the investigation is quite worrying. There was a queue of 20 minutes to report the case. After the queue was over, there was only one police officer in charge of reception, waiting for Gui Xiao's parents and Brother Chan to finish explaining the situation.
It was almost half past three, and the police were just about to call in street surveillance near the Order Office Building.
Seeing this, Brother Chan had no choice but to use the relationship... So he contacted the company's senior management, and they didn't have any problem with them. Isn't it just a relationship? Don't worry, we have the relationship... We have it. Come out and hang out, go up.
From wealthy businessmen to local gangsters, to be able to get to the top of the industry, you must have connections... which are the so-called "relationships". Gui Xiao's significance to the competition is self-evident, and this has directly involved the interests of the studio, even if
Treat him as an "asset" and it's worthwhile to use your connections.
As a result, less than ten minutes after Meng Jingchan made the call, the task force... started.
These days, as long as you have someone on top, everything can be done easily. We are short of manpower, right? Let the police officers who are resting at home work overtime. Why are they on call 24 hours a day? To serve the people.
After four o'clock, the investigation process progressed rapidly. The bureau sent seven or eight people to sit and watch the surveillance, and the route before the disappearance was quickly found out; the field team sent out five police cars to interview witnesses along Gui Xiao's route from get off work.
Using a two-pronged approach, the police quickly determined the approximate time of the disappearance and locked in a white van and three suspects. It was basically confirmed that it was a kidnapping incident.
However... just when Brother Zen relaxed a little and wanted to hide in the toilet cubicle to poop and smoke a cigarette... something happened that made him shudder.
This thing is really a coincidence...
Brother Chan is a person who likes to squat when doing errands, and the toilet he went to was filled with toilets, so this guy squatted on the edge of the toilet in a very unethical manner.
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 entered the toilet.
When this man walked in, he was already talking on his cell phone. He lowered his voice and said, "Why are you calling now? I'm in the bureau...it's not convenient to talk..." As he said this, he walked in.
Then without thinking, I locked the toilet door from the inside.
After locking the door, he took a few steps sideways and peeked from the bottom of each compartment one by one to see if anyone was there...
Perhaps because of a guilty conscience, this person instinctively held the cell phone with one hand and shielded the sound with the other hand by his mouth. This resulted in him not being able to turn the door handle of the compartment... If he did not turn the handle, he would not be able to open the compartment.
The door... couldn't open the compartment door, so he looked from underneath...
And Brother Zen... was squatting on the toilet, and his feet couldn't be seen from the outside.
By some mistake, Meng Jingchan successfully started eavesdropping...
"Okay... there's no one around, just tell me..." After the man finished checking, he stood by the sink and spoke slightly louder.
After hearing the guy's first two sentences, Meng Jingchan thought that the man had received a call from his mistress.
But... after listening for thirty seconds, Brother Chan was shocked.
The man standing outside the cubicle, whose surname is Zheng, is the deputy director of this branch, and the unknown person who called him... was instructing him on the phone to delay the investigation.
Judging from Deputy Director Zheng's tone, he has either accepted bribes or has some leverage... In short, he should be prepared to comply.
Anyway, delaying the investigation is not very difficult to implement, and the risk after implementation is not big. Because this kind of behavior is difficult to define after the fact... What do you mean by delay? Delay can also be said to be cautious.
Being overly cautious leads to delays. Can it be called procrastination? Even if it does 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's call ended.
As for Brother Zen in the cubicle... He was half-squatting with his pants on, his feet on the edge of the toilet, holding a cigarette in one hand and a lighter in the other... He maintained this posture without even daring to make a sound.
Not to mention his addiction to cigarettes, he even suppressed his addiction to shit...
After Deputy Director Zheng hung up the phone, he washed his hands at the sink. He looked in the mirror, then turned around...
"Hmm..." Maybe it was due to his many years of experience in criminal investigation, or maybe it was his suspicious nature. He suddenly thought of opening all the compartment doors and confirming again...
Click
Soon, he opened the door of the cubicle next to Brother Chan and glanced inside.
no one……
Then, his footsteps came to the compartment door in front of Brother Zen...
At that moment, Meng Jingchan's heart was in his throat. The only way he could think of was... to pretend that he was a deaf-mute and to fool him for a while...
Pong Pong Pong
Just as Deputy Director Zheng was about to open the second door, there was a knock on the toilet door.
"Hey! Who's in there! Open the door!" A man's voice came from outside, "Who closed the toilet door? Open the door quickly!"
Judging from his tone, he seems to be in a hurry...
Deputy Director Zheng curled his lips when he heard the sound, walked quickly over there, and opened the toilet door.
"Get out of the way, 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 pushed Deputy Zheng away unceremoniously and rushed to the first compartment. He locked up
He was still cursing when he opened the door of the cubicle, "The door of the public restroom is locked! Fuck you!"
Then, there was a sound like thunder and fire in the compartment, and a smell that made life worse than death filled the air.
"Ah" a few seconds later, the man exhaled happily.
Before his lust was over, Deputy Director Zheng had already covered his nose and fled from the toilet...
Meng Jingchan also narrowly escaped death with the help of this "Three Urgent Brother".
…………
Time returns to the present, the waiting hall of the police station.
Nearly forty minutes had passed since he was unaware of their arrival. During this period, Meng Jingchan first told them about his previous experiences and what he knew about the situation, and then took Brother Jue and Xiao Tan to fight with Gui Xiao's parents.
He said hello and introduced them as "Xiao Xiao's friends".
Then Feng Bujue went to make a few calls alone...
At 6:20 p.m., a black Phaeton stopped in front of the police station again, and a man got out of the passenger seat.
This man was wearing a black suit, with a dignified appearance and a serious expression.
When he passed by Xiaotan's silver Porsche, he glanced sideways and then continued on.
Not long after, he walked into the waiting hall, glanced around, and met Brother Jue's eyes.
"Hey, Mr. Bao, here we come." Feng Bujue stepped forward with a smile and said hello to this secret agent from Section 9.
"I said..." Bao Qing was not polite to him and replied directly, "The Porsche at the door is Xiaotan's, right?"
"Yes." Xiaotan replied immediately.
"You know you'll get a ticket if you park in that place, right?" It turned out that this was what Bao Qing was struggling with.
"Uh... Jue Ge specifically asked me to stop there..." Xiao Tan replied.
"Don't worry, Lao Bao." Feng Bujue said with a smile, "The more entrenched the car is, the more it stops in front of a law enforcement agency, the less likely anyone will dare to post a note."
"Although your relationship with law enforcement has always been tense, is it really okay for you to stand in someone else's office building like a black man..." Bao Qingxu complained with eyes.
"Haha... Then let's do a social experiment when we have time to see who will post it." Feng Bujue shrugged, "I'm telling you... whoever dares to post it will be the pillar of society."
"Okay, okay..." Bao Qing stopped talking to him and waved his hand, "Let's do business first."
To make a long story short, after a brief chat, Feng Bujue introduced Bao Qing and Brother Chan. 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 said hello to the director, showed his ID again, and then... handed over a mobile phone.
After the director took the phone, he walked into the next room.
When things developed to this point, Meng Jingchan had basically fallen into a state of mental short-circuit. He looked at Feng Bu and realized that their eyes could no longer calm down.
"This...Brother Bao." Brother Chan asked curiously, "I wonder where you are employed?"
"Civil servant." Bao Qing only answered in three words.
"Uh..." For this answer that was said but not said, Brother Chan naturally wanted to ask, "specifically..."
"Civil servant." Bao Qing looked at Meng Jingchan with a smile, and repeated these three words with an emphasis.
With Brother Chan's intelligence, he will understand after hearing this... No need to ask anymore.
"Speaking of which...who is on the other end of the phone?" Feng Bujue turned to look at Bao Qing and asked.
"On the other end of the phone 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 an 'acquaintance of yours and mine' ten minutes ago.
"
"Oh..." Feng Bujue said, "So he's here to talk to the director now..."
"It seems they have finished talking." When Bao Qing answered this, the director happened to push the door 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 on the sofa with his legs crossed, said, "Pack up all the investigation materials so far and upload them to the computer here, and let the person named Zheng do the interrogation."
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, hey... you're too arrogant..." Seeing this scene, Meng Jingchan looked at Brother Jue in shock and complained in his heart.
But the director didn't react much. After hearing this, he just looked at Bao Qing again in silence.
"Alas..." Mr. Bao sighed and said to Mr. Director, "Just do as he said..." (To be continued.)
