When he heard someone calling his name, Meng Lin noticed Wu Jun wearing a police uniform. He frowned and said, "Wu Jun, aren't you a criminal police officer? What kind of case are you wearing this?"
They are all personnel within the public security system, and Meng Lin naturally knows the situation within the system very well. Generally speaking, due to the special nature of the work, very few criminal police officers who handle cases wear police uniforms.
Some veteran detectives, apart from receiving awards for meritorious service, may not even wear their clothes a few times in their lives. Almost all the clothes they are issued every year are hung in the closet.
"this……"
Hearing Meng Lin's question, Wu Jun looked a little embarrassed. At this moment, he still couldn't tell. Meng Lin must have known Qin Feng, and their relationship should be quite close.
"It's a case of intentional injury." Wu Jun gritted his teeth and could only hold on.
Especially the call "Minister Hu" that Meng Lin called just now made Wu Jun's legs almost weak. Although he had never met Hu Baoguo, there were not many ministers named Hu in the capital ministries.
But Wu Jun has no way out now, he can only kill himself because he is handling the case normally. If he softens at this time, it means that there is something fishy in this case.
"A case of intentional injury?"
Meng Lin glanced at Wu Jun and said calmly: "Wu Jun, if I remember correctly, you are in the west branch of the city, right? This place does not seem to be your jurisdiction..."
"Damn, bro, I haven't offended you before!"
Hearing Meng Lin's words, Wu Jun cursed loudly in his heart. Meng Lin's words were like stabbing him in the waist with a knife.
"Meng Lin, it's like this. The person involved filed the case when we were separated. So I came to ask about the situation..."
Although he scolded Meng Lin in his heart, Wu Jun still had to answer Meng Lin's question. After all, there was a great god standing next to him, who could crush him to death in a matter of minutes.
"By the way, Meng Lin, do you know Qin Feng?"
After explaining something, Wu Jun changed the topic, and he was really curious about the relationship between Meng Lin and Qin Feng. According to the information Wu Jun got through his own channels, Qin Feng seemed to have no contact with Meng Lin.
In fact, this is not Wu Jun's fault. His level is really too low. The only information he got was about "True Jade Square". Naturally, he didn't know about Qin Feng's private interactions with Hu Baoguo, Meng Lin and others.
"My sister knows him."
Meng Lin replied lukewarmly, and looked at Meng Yao, who was holding Qin Feng's arm, with an unhappy look on his face. Although he had agreed to his sister's relationship with Qin Feng, Meng Lin was still very upset when he saw his sister and Qin Feng being intimate.
uncomfortable.
"Ah? So that's what happened?"
Following Meng Lin's gaze, Wu Jun naturally saw Meng Yao and couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart. Qin Feng was the son-in-law of the Meng family. Even if Cao Guoguang was alive, he probably wouldn't dare to do anything to Qin Feng, right?
At this moment, Wu Jun was scolding Cao Hongzhi in his heart. The background of the Meng family behind Qin Feng was that even his surname Cao couldn't afford to offend him. He actually instigated himself to come to look for trouble.
What's more, the old man sitting at the door is most likely the deputy minister of the ministry. Neither of these two relationships can be offended by him.
"Qin Feng, how about leaving this matter to me?"
Seeing the troubled look on Wu Jun's face, Meng Lin felt soft and said to Qin Feng: "It's a hot day, you guys go into the courtyard and I'll have a few words with Wu Jun."
"Brother Lin, I can't make the decision on this matter."
Qin Feng's eyes turned to Hu Baoguo. In fact, he was very angry. An ordinary little policeman actually bullied him in front of the door. Originally, Qin Feng was holding back his energy and preparing to ask Boss Hu to take action.
"Minister Hu, you are in good health. Can you let me handle this matter?"
Seeing Qin Feng's eyes aimed at Hu Baoguo, Meng Lin's heart suddenly lurked. He knew that he had inadvertently violated an official taboo and made an independent decision before he understood the leader's intention.
"Okay, Xiao Meng, since you want to take care of it, just take care of it to the end."
Hu Baoguo stood up and said: "Check everything from the parties' report records to their police procedures, and then write a report to me..."
Hu Baoguo knew the background behind Meng Lin, but when it came to Qin Feng, Hu Baoguo didn't want to just expose it so lightly. If word got out, others would only say that he, Hu Baoguo, couldn't even protect an ordinary person.
"Yes, Minister Hu, I promise to complete the task..."
Upon hearing Hu Baoguo's order, Meng Lin subconsciously saluted. After the salute, he realized that he was not from the Ministry's Supervision Office, so what qualifications did he have to take care of this matter?
"Qin Feng, let's go in..." Hu Baoguo nodded, without looking at Wu Jun and others, and went straight into the courtyard with Qin Feng and Chen Hao.
"Brother Miao, I'm going to bother you for a few days, is that okay?" After entering the courtyard, Hu Baoguo greeted Miao Liuzhi who came out of the side room.
"No problem, Minister Hu is here. Our little courtyard is really full of glory!"
Miao Liuzhi laughed loudly and let Hu Baoguo into the house. Although the yard was shaded by trees, the weather was too hot, so it would be more comfortable in an air-conditioned room.
"Uncle Hu, eat watermelon..." Xie Xuan hurriedly took out the watermelon from the refrigerator, cut it into slices, put it on a plate and brought it to Hu Baoguo.
"Well, Xie Xuan, you haven't been naughty during this time, have you?"
Hu Baoguo glanced at Xie Xuan, and immediately felt a little scared. He touched his face with his hand, and it seemed that there were no flowers on his face.
"Oh, Uncle Hu, I...I am a good boy!"
Xie Xuan called out "Bang Tian Qu" and felt regretful in his heart. He had known that he should have imitated Li Tianyuan. After hearing the news that Hu Baoguo was coming, he decided to use the Thirty-six Strategy as the best strategy.
"Good boy? Have you done enough crooked things?"
I don't know why, as soon as he saw Xie Xuan and Li Tianyuan, Hu Baoguo wanted to reprimand them. Maybe he had a higher status now and usually kept his emotions quiet in front of others, but he was more relaxed in front of Xie Xuan and others.
For the sake of it.
"You eat watermelon, eat watermelon..."
Xie Xuan handed Hu Baoguo a watermelon with a smile on his face. However, he felt aggrieved in his heart. All the bad things Xie Xuan had done in his life were not as influential as the last thing Qin Feng had done.
"Qin Feng, I will keep an eye on this matter. If something like this happens again in the future, you can report Shen Hao's name directly..."
Taking the watermelon from Xie Xuan, Hu Baoguo turned around and said to Qin Feng, after all, this happened to him today, and it would be very chilling if he didn't give Qin Feng an explanation.
"Minister Hu, let's forget about this. It's very difficult for the grassroots police to handle the case..."
Qin Feng shook his head. Meng Lin had just wanted to protect Wu Jun, but because of his uncle's identity, Qin Feng could no longer pursue the case.
"No matter how difficult it is, we must abide by the rules and regulations..."
Hu Baoguo looked at Qin Feng carefully, trying to tell whether he was telling the truth or a lie, but to his disappointment, Qin Feng did not show any expression on his face.
"Minister Hu, what Qin Feng said makes sense. When handling cases at the grassroots level, it will not work if you are too civilized." They are both systematic people, and Wu Jun did not act too out of the ordinary today, and Shen Hao on the side also offered help. He said a few words.
Shen Hao worked as a criminal police officer for a period of time when he was in Jintian. He knew that these people who are fighting on the front line are usually under a lot of pressure. Their tempers are naturally much bigger than ordinary people, so they can torture people at every turn. It's really common.
"Let's check first and then talk..."
Hu Baoguo gave an ambiguous answer. He used to be in charge of criminal investigations in the ministry. He didn't know the moral character of those people, so he wasn't really angry just now.
--------------------------
The people in the room were blowing in the air-conditioning, eating watermelon and talking. But at the door of the courtyard, the sweat on Wu Jun's face was like liquid, dripping down constantly.
Wu Jun heard the words Hu Baoguo said before entering the door very clearly, and he was now almost certain that Hu Baoguo was the first-ranked deputy minister in the ministry.
As for Wu Jun's two followers, they were speechless for a long time. They were not fools. They all heard some clues through the conversation just now.
"Old classmate, then... is that Deputy Minister Hu?"
Wiping the cold sweat on his face, Wu Jun looked at Meng Lin and said, "Old classmate, for the sake of us being classmates for four years, you must help me with this matter..."
Speaking of which, Wu Jun and Meng Lin had known each other for many years. They were undergraduate classmates at the Public Security University and lived in the same dormitory. He knew everything about Meng Lin's family background.
"Wu Jun, how do you want me to help you?"
Meng Lin looked at Wu Jun and said, "You've come to ask for trouble, and you're in front of Minister Hu. Do you think I can help you?"
In fact, in the first two years of college, Meng Lin and Wu Jun had a good relationship.
Because the files that Meng Lin filled out when he entered college were all fake. According to the files, his parents were just ordinary workers. They had the same status and background, and the young people could talk to each other about many things.
However, Meng Lin's personal ability was very strong. Without receiving any attention, he began to compete for the chairmanship of the school student union in the second half of his second year.
Unfortunately, Wu Jun was also an activist at that time, and he also wanted to compete for the chairmanship of the student union, which would also enrich his profile and resume, so the two began to compete.
Meng Lin was a generous man and was always very magnanimous in his dealings. On the contrary, Wu Jun was good at speculation and used a lot of outside tactics when he was competing for the chairmanship of the student union.
At the most critical moment of the competition, Wu Jun even deliberately spread some rumors, saying that Meng Lin had an affair with a female classmate from another school and had a corrupt ideological and moral character.
However, Meng Lin's family background came into play at this time. Although Wu Jun deliberately corrupted Meng Lin, Meng Lin was eventually elected as the president of the student union, and he also saw Wu Jun clearly.
From then on, Meng Lin began to distance himself from Wu Jun. Even when Wu Jun began to fawn over Meng Lin crazily when he learned about his family background, Meng Lin also stayed away from him.
After graduating from university, Meng Lin continued his master's and doctorate studies, so he started at a high level as soon as he entered the ministry, and his interactions with Meng Lin were limited to annual class reunions.
In fact, Wu Jun's career is pretty good. He is good at maneuvering and can reach the level of a full-time officer in his early thirties, which is already quite good. You know, many veteran police officers are nothing more than clerks in their entire lives.
"Meng Lin, old classmate, I... I am also entrusted by others..." After four years of getting along, Wu Jun still knew Meng Lin very well, and now he told him exactly what Cao Hongzhi had asked him to do to deal with Qin Feng.
"Meng Lin, Cao Hongzhi was seriously injured, enough to be considered a case of intentional injury..."
After telling what happened, Wu Jun said: "I came here just to find out the situation from Qin Feng. I really have no other meaning. We are old classmates, and you know me..."
"Haha, now that you have met Minister Hu and I, you naturally have no other intentions."
Meng Lin laughed twice, shook his head and said: "Wu Jun, if Minister Hu and I were not here today, I'm afraid you would have brought Qin Feng back to the station by now, right? Do you think what I said is right?
?”
Based on Meng Lin's understanding of Wu Jun, this guy is a villain who likes to follow others' influence. Although Meng Lin didn't really want to argue with Wu Jun, he still provoked him a few words.
"It's unjust, old classmate, you really have wronged me."
Wu Jun called out twice and said in a low voice: "Old classmate, you have to help me. Now the bureau is applying for the position of deputy director. I...I am at a critical moment..."
Wu Jun knew in his heart that if this matter were to spread out today, even if Hu Baoguo had no attitude, his application for the position of deputy director would probably be ruined. After all, there are many people with sway in the officialdom.
"Go back and make up for everything that needs to be made up!"
Meng Lin waved his hand and turned back to the courtyard and said: "Minister Hu is not that easy to fool. If you admit your mistake to the branch leader yourself, you should still be able to keep your current position..."
Meng Lin has been working in ministries and commissions for a long time. Naturally, he understands the meaning of the leaders' words. The few words Hu Baoguo said just now were clearly meant to drive Wu Jun to the end, so what he said has already helped Wu Jun a lot.
busy.
"Old classmate..." Wu Jun's heart trembled when he heard Meng Lin's words. But he also knew that Meng Lin was telling the truth, and he immediately hated Cao Hongzhi and Fang Yazhi to the core of his heart.
The person who asked Wu Jun to help was Cao Hongzhi, but the person who came up with the idea was Fang Yazhi, the owner of "Ya Zhi Zhai". That old boy was full of bad ideas.
"Captain, we...what should we do?"
Originally he came to look for trouble in a bold and arrogant way, but unexpectedly he was kicked on the iron plate. At this time, Wu Jun was in a state of confusion, and the two followers were already at a loss.
"What should I do? Go back!"
Wu Jun glanced at the closed door of the courtyard, turned around and got into his police car. He was also a person who could be let go. This time he went back to the leader to admit his mistake.
--------------------------
"Minister Hu, let me report the situation to you..."
After entering the wing room of the middle courtyard, Meng Lin saluted Hu Baoguo. As the saying goes, the county magistrate is not as good as the current governor. No matter how powerful the Meng family is, they can't get involved in Hu Baoguo's three-quarter acre of land.
"Give me a written report later..."
Hu Baoguo waved his hand and said: "Xiao Meng, you can sell favors, but matters involving principles must be dealt with seriously, you know?"
"Yes, Minister Hu..."
Meng Lin quickly agreed, but in his heart he got to know Hu Baoguo again. This deputy minister had carried out drastic reforms and rectifications as soon as he took office. He was indeed a person who couldn't get rid of the dirt in his eyes.
"But Minister Hu, I am doing case analysis, this matter is not my turn..."
After Meng Lin agreed, he said, "Minister Hu, why don't you wait until I get back to report to the inspection office and let them follow up on this matter?"
"Xiao Meng, you have been in the ministry for several years, right?" Hu Baoguo did not answer Meng Lin's words, but asked: "How is it? What do you think about work?"
"Almost ten years..." Meng Lin said honestly: "Minister Hu, I want to work at a local level and accumulate more work experience."
Meng Lin has a PhD in criminal psychology. His job is to provide technical support to some major and important cases that are difficult to detect, and to analyze the criminal motivations from the psychological level to solve the cases.
However, this kind of purely technical job is very detrimental to promotion. Originally, more than half a year ago, the Meng family had already informed the relevant leaders and planned to send Meng Lin to a local position so that he could be promoted quickly.
But that meeting happened to be at the juncture of Qin Feng's disappearance. Meng Yao was really worried after being hit hard, so Meng Lin gave up this opportunity and continued to stay in the capital.
Officialdom has its own rules. Even if the Meng family has a background, some things still have to follow the rules. Meng Lin missed this opportunity. He will have to wait for a few more years.
What's more, now that Meng Lin's father has become the second most powerful figure in the capital, he is acting more cautiously than before, so Meng Lin is ready to settle down for a few more years.
However, Hu Baoguo's words ignited a glimmer of hope in Meng Lin's heart. His matter was difficult to say, but it was also very simple to say that as long as Hu Baoguo was willing, he could easily let Meng Lin take up a temporary job.
"Xiao Meng, you don't have to go down to the local level to gain work experience. Your idea is wrong..." Hu Baoguo's words made Meng Lin's heart sink. Hearing these words, it seemed a little wrong.
"Meng Lin, I am going to set up an inspection team to rectify police conduct and discipline recently. Are you interested in participating?"
Hu Baoguo's next words made Meng Lin's eyes light up and he asked: "Minister Hu, I wonder who the leader of this inspection team is?"
Meng Lin, who grew up in a political family, naturally understands that working groups established by ministries and commissions have very high standards, including a clerk, who is likely to be promoted after the group is disbanded.
"I will be the team leader..."
Hu Baoguo said: "Meng Lin, if you are interested, you can report to the Supervision Office later and transfer your working relationship. Young people just need to train in multiple positions..."
"Um?"
Hearing Hu Baoguo's words, Qin Feng glanced at him in surprise. Lao Hu obviously wanted to promote Meng Lin. Is it because Meng Lin was his uncle?
Not only Qin Feng, but also Meng Lin himself was stunned after hearing Hu Baoguo's words, because the suggestion given by Vice Minister Hu was really too important to Meng Lin.
Meng Lin knew that the Supervision and Inspection Office was a department-level unit with a chief director and three deputy directors, as well as several deputy department-level inspectors. It was a very important department in the ministry.
Just over a month ago, a deputy director of the Supervision Office retired due to age, and now the position has been vacant. Hu Baoguo asked Meng Lin to be transferred to the Supervision Office and join the working group. This made it clear that he wanted Meng Lin to take over the deputy director.
Director's position.
Meng Lin is now in his prime. After missing the opportunity to take up a local post last year, he originally thought that he would have to wait another four or five years to be promoted to deputy director, but he did not expect that this opportunity would come so quickly.
before.
But after all, Meng Lin was much more mature than his peers. Instead of being knocked unconscious by the pie falling from the sky, he analyzed why Hu Baoguo gave him this opportunity.
The relationship between the Meng family system and Hu Baoguo's group can only be said to be average. Meng Lin really couldn't figure out why Hu Baoguo didn't promote people from his group. Could it be that it was just for Qin Feng's sake?
"What? Don't you want to go?"
Seeing Meng Lin's delay in replying, Hu Baoguo smiled and said, "I'll give you half an hour to think about it carefully. You can also find someone to give you some advice..."
"Looking for someone to advise?"
Hearing Hu Baoguo's words, Meng Lin suddenly understood that Hu Baoguo was sending a signal to himself, or to the Meng family, that he wanted to be on good terms with the Meng family.
Meng Lin's guess was correct. Hu Baoguo had a phone call yesterday with his old leader, who had always admired him, and learned that the old leader would retire at the end of this year, and the help from the top would disappear in the future.
However, the old leader gave Hu Baoguo some hints, indicating that he could lean on the Meng family, who had recently become the mayor of the capital. The Meng family would definitely occupy a very important position in the country's political arena in the future.
Hu Baoguo had never had any contact with the Meng family. He originally wanted to adapt to the changes, but he didn't expect that he happened to meet Meng Lin today, so he said the above words.
"Minister Hu, you guys sit down first, I'm going to make a phone call..." Meng Lin didn't care so much about his career and future. After saying hello, he took his cell phone and left the room.
"Minister Hu, are you playing politics at home?" After Meng Lin went out, Qin Feng looked at Hu Baoguo with some dissatisfaction.
"What's the matter? Are you still not satisfied with the promotion of your brother-in-law?" Hu Baoguo glared back at Qin Feng. This kid simply got an advantage and acted like a good boy.
"Qin Feng, my brother stayed in the capital because of me."
Meng Yao whispered something in Qin Feng's ear. She knew that it was her poor health and mood that made her brother give up the opportunity half a year ago.
"Allocation must be raised..."
Hearing Meng Yao's words, Qin Feng immediately said: "Minister Hu, if you, the leader, do not raise the issue for young and promising cadres like Meng Lin, then you are simply short-sighted..."
"You...you kid, if you can't speak, just stop talking..." A good thing seemed to change its taste when it was put in Qin Feng's mouth, which made Hu Baoguo dumbfounded.
"Qin Feng, young and promising can hardly be described as you..."
Meng Lin, who had just finished the phone call, heard Qin Feng's words as soon as he entered the room. He couldn't help laughing and said: "You are not even twenty-five today, are you? You have built such a big family business. You deserve to be young and rich."
For these four words..."
As he spoke, Meng Lin was secretly shocked. This was the first time he heard Qin Feng talking to Hu Baoguo in such a tone. It was obvious that the relationship between the two was much closer than he knew.
"Hey, Brother Lin, I'm just a businessman, and I smell like copper. How can I compare to you..."
Qin Feng laughed and made fun of himself, then said: "Brother Lin, I think what Minister Hu said makes sense. You can exercise wherever you go. You don't have to leave the capital, right?"
What Qin Feng said was sincere. He would leave the capital in a few days to find medicine for Meng Yao. The only person he was worried about was Meng Yao. If Meng Lin could stay in the capital, he would be relieved.
Meng Lin did not answer Qin Feng's words, but looked at Hu Baoguo and said: "Minister Hu, I don't know when you will be free. My father would like to ask you to have tea at some time..."
Although he didn't say it explicitly, the fact that Meng Lin's father asked Hu Baoguo for tea already made it clear. While Meng Lin himself breathed a sigh of relief, Hu Baoguo also had a smile on his face.
