Gu Chen opened the notebook and began to record Xiao Xiao's remarks.
From yesterday to now, the case itself has gradually become clearer. The three suspects who beat Liu Xiaokai were arrested, but now there is another Xiao Xiao in the process.
No matter what the situation is, there is a cause and effect.
Gu Chen believed that the problem itself lay with Xiao Xiao.
If these three chemical factory workers beat up a high school student for no reason, it seems difficult to link the two identities.
But there is Xiao Xiao in the middle, like a link, connecting all the problems together.
"Brother policeman, can I tell you a story first?" Xiao Xiao wetted her tears with a tissue and turned to ask Gu Chen.
"Okay, you can say it." Gu Chen did not set too many restrictions and allowed Xiao Xiao to speak freely.
"Once in a high school in a city, there was a girl who was bullied by her classmates. The classmates next door always laughed at her: Where is your father? Haha."
After saying this, Xiao Xiao couldn't help but shed tears, dripping from both sides of her cheeks.
"Not only did he repeatedly laugh at the girl for not having a father, he also often teased her."
"One day, three boys saw her with tears on her face when she came home from get out of class. They went crazy to take revenge."
"The girl stopped the three of them from their crazy idea, and then the three of them agreed, saying that it was nothing more than three."
"But then I met a girl with tears on her face again, crying secretly on her way home alone."
"Three boys decided that they were going to beat up the boy from the next class who bullied the girl."
"In the end, everyone was summoned to the police station. The police wanted to punish them, and the parents of the victims wanted to slap them."
When Xiao Xiao said this, everyone actually knew it.
The girl in this story is Xiao Xiao now.
And the man in the next class who often bullies the girl and laughs at her for not having a father is Liu Zhongkai's son Liu Xiaokai.
As for the three people who taught him a lesson, they are currently Zhao Ming, Wang Jiale and Liu Wen.
Liu Zhongkai silently looked at Liu Xiaokai beside him. Liu Xiaokai's expression was stunned and he moved half way to the wall.
At this moment, Zhao Ming, Wang Jiale and Liu Wen all lowered their heads silently, not daring to look directly at Xiao Xiao in front of them.
Xiao Xiao's story is not over yet. She looked at everyone, blinked her moist eyes and said: "The girl's father was once a firefighter and died in a fire, and those three boys were the ones who were killed.
The girl’s dad saved the man from the fire.”
"That's right." Before Xiao Xiao could finish speaking, Zhao Ming was the first to stand up.
At this moment, Zhao Ming's eyes were filled with tears: "Do you still remember the fire at Gangnam Shinki's chemical plant last year?"
"Of course I remember, it was a major fire accident in Jiangnan City." Gu Chen blurted out without hesitation: "I still clearly remember the report at that time. 13 employees were trapped in the workshop. They were holding on with the help of wet towels."
"The firefighters spent nearly an hour to safely rescue all 13 employees trapped in the workshop at the cost of 2 serious injuries, 2 minor injuries, and the sacrifice of one person."
"Yes, I also remember that all major media reported on this incident at the time." Lu Weiwei couldn't help but interject.
Officer Wang took a deep breath and said: "Last year's chemical plant fire, the fire spread quickly with the help of flammable and explosive items. In addition, it was a windy day, and the entire No. 3 workshop of the chemical plant was plunged into a sea of flames."
"And many local residents heard that toxic gases were spreading and would permeate the surrounding air, so they began to evacuate frantically towards surrounding cities. Provincial and national highways once experienced severe congestion."
Thinking of the fire last year, Officer Wang still has lingering fears.
At that time, the city bureau mobilized all surrounding police forces to help the traffic police maintain order.
The exaggerated reports by major media accounts also caused excessive panic among local residents.
Even though Jiangnan City's official media promptly evaded the rumors, they were unable to prevent the surrounding residents from fleeing in large numbers.
"Yes, the firefighter who led the team at that time was Xiao Xiao's father, and the three guys who escaped death in the end were the three of us." Zhao Ming glanced at Wang Jiale and Liu Wen beside him.
The eyes of the two are equally determined...
"So from then on, the three of us swore that if Xiao Xiao lost her father, the three of us would be her brothers. If anyone dared to bully her, the three of us would never agree." Wang Jiale stared intently at the same time as he spoke.
By Liu Xiaokai.
Liu Wen also sneered and said: "Uncle Xiao was able to rush into the sea of fire and save the three of us who only had half life. Can we ignore Xiao Xiao's injustice at school?"
Hearing this, Liu Zhongkai was already on pins and needles.
I was still furious just now, feeling that my son had been greatly wronged and beaten into a pig's head by someone outside.
But now it seems that this son deserves to be beaten, and he deserves to be beaten hard.
"Xiao Kai." Liu Zhongkai stared at Liu Xiaokai angrily.
"Dad...Dad." Liu Xiaokai had shrunk into a corner and asked weakly with fearful eyes: "You...what do you want to do?"
"What are you doing?" Liu Zhongkai suddenly stood up.
After looking around, I found Officer Wang's nine small pieces of equipment lying on one side.
Without saying a word, Liu Zhongkai took out his baton and beat him hard.
"Ah ah ah, police, please help, someone is going to die."
"Help, help, no more lives are needed."
Liu Xiaokai kept wailing...
Liu Zhongkai didn't even hit his head, but hit Jiao directly, which made Liu Xiaokai dance like a dancer, constantly changing his legs.
"Mr. Liu, stop." Gu Chen caught the baton waving in Liu Zhongkai's hand and confiscated it.
"If I don't kill this son of a bitch today, my job as an old man will be in vain." Without tools, Liu Zhongkai thought on the spot, suddenly took off his leather shoes, held them in his hand, and chased and beat him fiercely.
Finally, with the help of Lu Weiwei, Officer Wang and Gu Chen, Liu Xiaokai managed to save his life.
"It's unfortunate that such a rebellious son came out of our family." Liu Zhongkai was so angry that his liver ached. Looking at Xiao Xiao who was crying next to him, Liu Zhongkai walked up to her again.
"Little girl, it's my son Xiaokai who is at fault. He shouldn't be so mean-mouthed. It's my responsibility to teach my son poorly. I sincerely apologize to you."
After saying this, Liu Zhongkai blushed and bowed deeply.
"Uncle Liu, don't be like this." Xiao Xiao was also embarrassed, lifted him up and said, "This matter has nothing to do with you, you don't need to apologize to me."
"I must apologize." Liu Zhongkai was also in a panic now, and he was extremely embarrassed: "Your father is a fire-fighting hero and the most beautiful rebel. My son laughs at you like this. I really feel sorry for you, you know?"
Liu Zhongkai hammered his chest, and when he saw Liu Xiaokai was about to stand up, he kicked him again: "Squatting down, how dare you stand up?"
"Dad, I was wrong, I don't dare to do it anymore." Liu Xiaokai was in the corner, holding on to Gu Chen's trouser leg as a cover.
Xiao Xiao wiped her tears and said: "Uncle Liu, I don't blame you, and you can't blame my three brothers either? They were just afraid that I would be wronged and bullied at school, so they beat Liu Xiaokai. In fact,
I really don’t want my classmates and relatives to fight with each other, I..."
"Stop talking, Xiao Xiao, I know. I don't blame you, nor do I blame your three brothers." Liu Zhongkai sighed deeply and walked up to Zhao Ming, Wang Jiale and Liu Wen.
"Your name is... Zhao Ming?" Liu Zhongkai asked.
"That's right, what about it?" Zhao Ming was still holding back his anger, his head tilted, and he didn't want to talk to Liu Zhongkai at all.
Liu Zhongkai, on the other hand, extended a thumb and said with a smile: "Good fight, good fight. I, a turtle son, should teach him a lesson, otherwise he won't know what it means to respect others and respect heroes."
's children."
"You only know now? There is no way to educate your children. As a parent, you also have a responsibility." Wang Jiale on the side was also unhappy.
Liu Zhongkai gave a wry smile, nodded and said: "Yes, my responsibility is, if I am not just busy with work, I should communicate with this guy more and teach him more principles of life, so this kind of thing will not happen.
A shameful thing.”
"It's not too late to admit your mistakes now. We don't need your apology. We will bear the responsibility for what we have done. But..." Liu Wen glanced at Liu Xiaokai who was hiding behind Gu Chen, pointed at him and said: "But, this
Liu Xiaokai must apologize to Xiao Xiao and promise not to make fun of Xiao Xiao's father again."
Liu Zhongkai was stunned for a moment.
He didn't expect, really didn't expect, that this young man in his early twenties would have such a bloody spirit.
Compared to Liu Xiaokai who was hiding behind Gu Chen, Liu Zhongkai suddenly understood what it meant to be someone else's child and what it meant to be a traitor to his own family.
"Did you hear that?" Liu Zhongkai glared at Liu Xiaokai.
Gu Chen also turned around, lifted up Liu Xiaokai who was squatting on the ground, and said: "You should bear your own responsibility for what you have done. Don't let your father feel sorry for you anymore. Knowing your mistakes can make a huge difference, do you understand?"
"I...I understand." Liu Xiaokai also felt a little thump in his heart.
Just a moment ago, I was the victim in the entire interrogation room. Now, in the blink of an eye, I have become the stinky rat that everyone in the interrogation room is shouting to beat.
I would never dream of this ups and downs feeling.
"I'm sorry Xiao Xiao, I really didn't know your father was a fire-fighting hero. It was my fault. I shouldn't have made such a joke that hurt the feelings of my classmates. I admit my mistake. I deserve to die. I'm sorry for you."
Liu Xiaokai also imitated his father's bowing action just now, bent down and bowed deeply.
"It's okay, I forgive you." Xiao Xiao also laughed out of tears and stopped pursuing it.
Later, Liu Xiaokai bowed and apologized to Zhao Ming, Wang Jiale and Liu Wen respectively, and received their understanding.
"Officer Gu." Liu Zhongkai turned around and faced Gu Chen and said, "I really want to thank you for finding the person who beat my son, and thank you for letting me know that my son turned out to be such a bastard. I will definitely discipline him strictly when I go back.
"
Gu Chen scratched the back of his head and said with a smile: "I don't object to discipline, as long as no one is killed."
"Haha." Liu Zhongkai also laughed dryly and said rather awkwardly: "In addition, I have another unkind request. I wonder if Officer Gu can do it for me?"
Gu Chen frowned and did not answer immediately.
Usually when the other party says this kind of thing, he is most likely digging a hole, so Gu Chen nodded and said, "Just tell me."
"I have kept this matter secret from these people. Can it be convenient for me not to pursue their responsibilities?"
Gu Chen smiled and looked at Lu Weiwei beside him.
Lu Weiwei answered, "Of course there's no problem with that. As long as you don't mind, we can put an end to the beating of Liu Xiaokai, but the three of them will still have to accept punishment for spraying surveillance equipment and destroying public property."
"This..." Liu Zhongkai was a little embarrassed.
Zhao Ming smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, we will take over the punishment. As long as Xiao Xiao is not bullied in school, I can be punished no matter what."
"I don't have any objection either." Wang Jiale didn't mind either, saying, "A man must bear the consequences for what he does, and I will accept the punishment."
"And me." Liu Wen also said: "A man is upright and I am willing to accept all punishments."
Liu Zhongkai became anxious upon hearing this, and quickly walked to Gu Chen, Lu Weiwei and Officer Wang to plead for mercy: "Police officers, as for the damage to official duties, I will pay the price according to the price, and I will bear all the fines. Please don't embarrass these children.
"
Officer Wang smiled and said, "That's no problem. As long as it's within the framework permitted by law, we can agree to your request.
Several people met in the interrogation room of Furong Branch and signed a letter of understanding, stating that they would no longer seek any responsibility from the other party.
…
…
Three days later.
Criminal Investigation Group Three Office.
Lu Weiwei suddenly stood up and waved to Gu Chen and Officer Wang: "Come here, come here."
"What's wrong, Lu Weiwei?" Officer Wang drank wolfberry tea and walked to Lu Weiwei.
Gu Chen also left his seat and walked around behind Lu Weiwei: "What's wrong, Senior Sister Lu? Why are you so happy about this big event?"
"Photos, photos of promotional posters." Lu Weiwei clicked on the file in the mailbox.
Suddenly, handsome and attractive photos were displayed in front of everyone.
The three groups of old colleagues around them immediately put down their work and gathered at Lu Weiwei's desk to admire the promotional photos of several people.
"Wow! Gu Chen is so handsome! If this photo is to be used as a poster, it's really hard to explain." An old comrade couldn't help but sigh.
Lu Weiwei glanced at him and asked, "Why can't you explain it clearly?"
"It will make people misunderstand. We police officers all look like this." said the old comrade.
Lu Weiwei suddenly laughed: "I'll print this out myself and put it in my room as a poster."
"Eh~"
Suddenly there were boos all around.
Officer Wang patted Lu Weiwei on the shoulder and said, "Don't just look at Gu Chen. There are dozens of photos. Let's see what our photos look like."
"Yes." Lu Weiwei just remembered and quickly clicked on the next picture.
"Ah?!" Everyone was stunned again and couldn't help but look at Officer Wang.
"Is this... is this Lao Wang?" Officer Ding couldn't believe it. His eyes switched back and forth between Officer Wang and the computer photo: "That's wrong. Why is Lao Wang's face so thin? His eyes are also bigger, and this one.
The wrinkles are gone, isn’t this photo of Lao Wang from ten years ago?”
"Yes, Lao Wang looked like this ten years ago. I can testify to this." Officer Li also interjected.
Lu Weiwei was unhappy and said angrily: "This is unfair. Why did you make Lao Wang as white as Gu Chen? Their skins are completely different colors?"
"Ahem." Officer Wang suddenly felt proud and spread his hands and said, "Please don't pay attention to these details. Besides, as for the posters, who doesn't make men handsome and handsome and women beautiful like flowers? Isn't this normal?"
Seeing that Lu Weiwei was still unconvinced, Officer Wang quickly changed the subject and said, "Don't... don't just look at mine? You've seen both Gu Chen's and my photos. Let's take a look at yours."
"Yes, Lu Weiwei, let's take a look at your photos." There were also old comrades urging beside me.
Lu Weiwei curled her lips and clicked on the next picture. Everyone was stunned.
Even Gu Chen, who had never been interested in beauties, visibly paused for a moment, his eyes completely attracted by the photos of Lu Weiwei on the computer.
"Lu... Lu Weiwei, I have been working with you for so long, and this is the first time I discovered that you can be so beautiful in a photo of you wearing a police uniform?" Officer Wang couldn't help but wonder.
Officer Li was also stunned and said: "Of course, I usually look at you Lu Weiwei too much and don't think you are very beautiful, but if you take a closer look, you are really breathtakingly beautiful.
Lu Weiwei felt happy, a little embarrassed, and asked directly: "Are you praising me or scolding me in disguise? I tell you, I know how to lie."
Not sure if everyone's tone was true, Lu Weiwei quietly turned her head and looked at Gu Chen beside her.
Seeing that Gu Chen was still admiring her own photo, Lu Weiwei asked weakly: "Junior Brother Gu, do you think this photo looks good?"
"Ah?" Gu Chen withdrew his gaze, was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Well... it looks good. Senior Sister Lu's image is indeed very good."
"Then how about I make it into a keychain and give it to you?" Lu Weiwei asked.
"Okay!" Gu Chen didn't know what to say, so he could only agree: "Thank you, Senior Sister Lu."
Suddenly, other people were no longer happy and made a lot of noise... They wanted to download these image photos.
Some people suggested printing Gu Chen's image on T-shirts and then selling them on the official website or giving them as gifts to fans.
Some people suggest registering Gu Chen's image as a trademark, so that in the future keychains, clothes and various trinkets can be sold as a brand series.
Just when everyone was flying with all kinds of bad ideas, Lu Weiwei suddenly received an official email in her mailbox.
"Is this a notification email from the Furong Branch?" Lu Weiwei was stunned for a moment. Other people's computers also received the same email at the same time.
"Open it and see what it is?" Officer Wang said.
Lu Weiwei didn't think much and clicked to open it directly.
Soon, a detailed list appeared in front of everyone.
"Ah? Is it the city bureau's personnel allocation list?" An old colleague suddenly became nervous, feeling that the last days were coming.
All the people gathered in front of the computer could not help but swallow their saliva, praying in their hearts that they could stay.
"Lu... Lu Weiwei, pull down." Officer Wang was sweating coldly, and his heart was pounding. He always felt an ominous premonition.
