After hearing what she said, I immediately felt that it made sense. Then I asked her: "Then what do you think should be done next?"
She said: "My idea is this. In order to keep it confidential, it is best for our provincial criminal police team to take over this matter."
I was very surprised, "Why? Could it be that our Municipal Public Security Bureau can't keep confidentiality when handling cases?"
Tong Yao glanced at Director Lu, and Director Lu said: "Mayor Feng, it's like this. Officer Tong suspects that the two policemen involved in the fraud are real policemen, and they might be from our Shangjiang City."
I seemed to understand it all at once, and immediately said: "You mean, it shouldn't be so easy for people from out of town to enter Tanaka's room, right? But, as his secretary, he has a room with his room.
The card is also normal, not to mention that Tanaka’s room doubles as a temporary office. As a secretary, having a room card is even more inevitable.”
Tong Yao shook her head and said: "As a place where Japanese people work, you must have taken necessary security measures, right? It may not be that easy for people like that to enter casually, right? I heard Director Lu say that they have sent personnel to protect them secretly.
This one’s Japanese, right?”
I nodded. This was actually a request I made to Director Lu, and asked the Municipal Public Security Bureau to arrange for plainclothes officers to secretly protect Tianzhong in the hotel. Now that Tong Yao asked this question, I immediately felt that there might be a problem, and maybe
The plainclothes man on duty that day was already suspected. I said: "Officer Tong's suspicion is very reasonable. Then, the most important thing to do now is to quickly watch the surveillance video of that day, and then determine the identity of the suspect as soon as possible. If
If those two policemen are really our Shangjiang City policemen, then we should control them first."
At this time Director Lu said: "Mayor Feng, I think we may have overcomplicated the problem. In fact, this is a simple extortion case. We will immediately identify the suspects and arrest them separately.
The arrest time is set for tomorrow. We will arrest Tanaka’s female secretary directly after she goes to work, and then interrogate her. Everything will be known.”
I shook my head, "No. This matter cannot be known to other people. The best way is to let Tanaka's female secretary disappear silently. When outsiders ask, they will say that she was fired or resigned voluntarily. This matter
The difficulty of the matter is that we don’t want more people to know about this matter. Therefore, I think Officer Tong’s idea is good. Letting people from the provincial department do this matter is more conducive to confidentiality. We don’t want to say more, you guys
Let’s watch the surveillance video first. Then we’ll talk about it.”
Tong Yao also laughed, "That's true. We have complicated a simple problem. The most important thing is to watch the surveillance video first."
Director Lu said: "That's okay. I'll go find the hotel's security manager right away."
Then he left, and Tong Yao stayed in my office.
She looked at me, "Are you taking this matter too seriously?"
I shook my head and said, "We must take it seriously. This project was personally handled by Governor Wang and Governor Huang, and Secretary Fang of the Provincial Party Committee also attaches great importance to it. Tong Yao, sometimes the case itself is not important, what is important is the political content.
Tong Yao, you should know that we are living in a society in transition like today, where various situations are very complex, various interests are intertwined, and many things are not as simple as you think."
She nodded, "Yes. Feng Xiao, have you always thought that I am too simple? Apart from only thinking about the case and not caring about anything else? In fact, that is not the case. Of course I have to consider the possibilities in the case.
There are various interests that exist. Feng Xiao, I think what you have said to me before is very important, that is, the motive for committing the crime. At this point, I found that my previous views were wrong. I used to think that
Analyzing the motive should be done after the case is solved, but then I repeatedly thought that for some cases, perhaps only after the motive is first clarified can we be more able to find out the development of the case. The two factors of motive and evidence collection
Things should not be completely separated."
I smiled and said, "That's how it is." Suddenly, I seemed to think of something, "Tong Yao, you, what did you find out again?"
She shook her head, "No. But I'm just imagining a possibility. Feng Xiao, you also said that you are not a policeman, so there are some things you should not know."
I was still looking at her, "Tong Yao, I know that you are still investigating Lin Yi until now. And you exposed your identity as an Interpol police officer. This is actually for your own safety. That's it.
Bar?"
She glanced at me in surprise, "Feng Xiao, if everyone was as smart as you, I would stop being a policeman. Of course, there are many people who are as smart as you or even smarter than you. Deal with smart people.
We should use smart methods. Wouldn't it be more interesting if everyone puts some things on the table and then competes between the two sides? Feng Xiao, you should understand what I mean, right?"
I was startled for a moment, then shook my head and said, "No, I don't completely understand."
She said: "The words Lin Yi asked you to say to me, you can understand that he is showing favor to me, or it is an interpretation with a slight threat. Feng Xiao, this is how you understand it, is
Bar?"
I looked at her and smiled, "Isn't it? Maybe he doesn't have any problems in the first place, but he just doesn't want you to make some problems too complicated, because it will not be conducive to the development of his company. And he may really
I'm thinking about you."
She pursed her lips and said: "Feng Xiao, I think you are being too simplistic. Why don't you think like that - he is trying to complicate the problem. Yes, maybe what he said is true.
, he did have some issues with one of our department leaders, which does not rule out that our department leader really has no problem. But I will not care about those things. For me, what I care about is just the series of relationships with him.
Whether the cases related to Lin Yi and the cases I am concerned about are directly related to him. As for other things, I don't bother to think about them at all."
I was silent for a moment.
She looked at me and said softly after a while: "Feng Xiao, don't worry about these things. You are right. After all, you are not a policeman, you can't control it, and if you do, it will probably bring harm to your family."
Danger."
I shook my head and said: "It's up to you. Anyway, I won't ask you about such things again in the future. I just don't do anything illegal myself. But Tong Yao, I'm really worried about you, and I hope you won't go there easily."
Involved in risk. The most important thing for a person is health and the safety of personal life. Apart from that, anything else can be discarded. Do you think this is the case?"
She looked at me and said, "Feng Xiao, you are still a deputy department cadre. Is this all you have?"
I was startled again, "Tong Yao, I have different ideas from yours. I used to be a doctor, and you know my personal experience, so I value a person's health and life more. This is
As for a question of values, as a Western country, their values are completely different from ours. I think the West’s values on life issues are the correct ones.
That is: we only have one life, and life is the most important thing for a person. There is a problem with our country's values. Traditional education tells us: sacrifice one's life for righteousness. So let me ask you, this righteousness
'What exactly is it? Is it really worth sacrificing our lives for it?"
She shook her head and said: "Feng Xiao, your thoughts are too terrible. I can't believe that the leading cadres of our country would think about such a problem like you do. This is too terrible."
I can understand her idea, because her ideas are completely different from mine. Concepts are very complicated, but in the final analysis it is a matter of values, or... the degree of brainwashing.
I think so.
I said: "Tong Yao, have you ever thought about it? What can a person do after his life is lost? I remember there is a philosophical proposition called 'Who am I?', 'Where do I come from? Where will I go after death?
Go?' No one has been able to answer this question for thousands of years, and the more you think about it, the more confusing and even scary it becomes. Tong Yao, let me ask you, have you ever thought about this question?"
She shook her head, "Why should I think about such a boring question? I came from my mother's womb and will return to dust after death. Do I need to think too much about such a simple question?"
I found that it was really difficult to communicate with her on such an issue, and I couldn't help but smile bitterly in my heart. Although I didn't want to convince her, I felt that she should understand some concepts, which might help her in the future.
With help, I immediately said: "Tong Yao, I know that your thoughts are fundamentally different from mine. Of course there are differences in our concepts, but it is also because you have never thought about such a problem. Right?
So, I think there are two questions you should think about. The first question is, who am I?
Yes, you are right, I am who I am. I come from my mother’s womb and return to dust after death. It is really that simple. But have you ever thought about it? For you, Tong Yao, because you have your life,
Because you are a member of the human race, you have thinking and wisdom, and can understand everything around you, including you and me.
If you no longer exist, then for you, everything around you does not exist. So there is a saying: Each of us has our own doomsday, which is the moment we die. For a life
As a single entity, death means the death of this world, it means that this world no longer exists, and the value of our lives lies here.
Therefore, only if we are alive, and only if we are alive, will this world continue to exist. The second question is the value of life. Yes, we can lay down our lives for our ideals and 'righteousness', which is the most noble behavior.
.But what exactly is this 'righteousness'? What kind of 'righteousness' is worthy of us sacrificing our lives for it? Have you ever thought about this question?" (To be continued)
