Duan Mo stared at the computer screen in astonishment, not knowing what to say for a moment.
On the screen was a photo, with a familiar face on it - Zhang Xu, the boss of Baorui Pavilion.
Neither of them had met this person directly, but they had seen the surveillance video of Yan Yishuai's questioning of him.
But what shocked Duanmo was not just seeing Zhang Xu, but another man on the same screen as him. That man was taller than Zhang Xu and much stronger than him.
The photo should be a snapshot, Zhang Xu is from the front, and the man is just a side face, some distance away from Zhang Xu. Even so, you can still see his face clearly.
Duan Mo hesitantly stretched out his finger and pointed at the enlarged photo: "It looks very much like...A Xiao."
"Unless he has a twin brother, it's him." Lu Wuchuan said.
There are people who look alike in this world, but to the extent that they are exactly the same, perhaps the only possibility is that they are twin brothers.
"Why is he with Zhang Xu?" Duan Mo seemed to be asking him, but also seemed to be mumbling to himself.
Cui Yinghua has been tracking down the smuggling gang. A Xiao appeared in this USB flash drive. She didn't dare to think about what this meant.
Lu Wuchuan picked up a glass of water, tested the temperature, handed it to her, and then started browsing other photos.
There are a total of five photos and one document in the USB flash drive.
The document contains thumbnails of five photos, with three names marked on them. A Xiao is not among them. It seems that he just accidentally caught the shot.
What Cui Yinghua wanted to check was the identity of these people. As for why they wanted to check these people, the document did not explain it.
Lu Wuchuan looked away from the screen and turned his head to see Duan Mo's left thumb turned upward and biting it in his mouth.
"How old are you for biting your fingers?" He took off her hand and asked, "Do you know how many bacteria there are in your nails?"
This is a habitual action of Duan Mo, which often occurs when he is nervous or thinking about a problem. Every time he sees it, he will correct it.
Knowing that his behavior was wrong, Duan Mo stuck out his tongue and put his hands behind his back.
Lu Wuchuan did not continue to pursue her bad habits, but asked: "Have you ever thought about why Cui Yinghua did this?"
It is not difficult for the criminal police to find out a person's identity. Cui Yinghua is also a criminal police officer, but she asked them to help in private. There must be something hidden in this.
Duanmo thought for a while and said: "She has been tracking down the smuggling gang that killed her husband. I think it must be related to this. In short, I believe she will not do bad things."
Lu Wuchuan asked again: "Why not go through normal channels, but use this method?"
It is a matter of course for the police to track down criminal gangs, but she lost her public identity and sneaked out alone. The result of this was not just as simple as being criticized and punished. What made this woman so desperate?
"The superior doesn't trust her, or...she doesn't trust her superior."
The suspect escaped during the escort, Cui Yinghua and Ji Yu were isolated for examination, and even members of the special case team were repeatedly called for questioning because they had assisted in the arrest.
Eventually everyone returned to normal work, but the results of the investigation were not made public.
"Then have you thought about the consequences?" Lu Wuchuan asked another question.
He was not questioning, but reminding her not to do something blindly.
Duanmo nodded: "I know this is an illegal operation, but if we can really uncover a criminal gang that has been tracked for many years, it will be worth it no matter what. I will do this, and you will act like you don't know anything. The punishment is,
I accept being demoted, or even taking off my police uniform, and at worst I can go home and buy a boat and go fishing."
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Lu Wuchuan scratched her nose, "Even if we go fishing at sea, we have to go together!"
"Then your ideals, ambitions and years of hard work will be in vain." Duanmo rubbed his nose, "Are you willing to do it?"
"This won't happen." Lu Wuchuan said, "Cui Yinghua has her own difficulties in the dark, but we can bring the case to an open road at the right time. What I'm worried about is not these, but... safety issues
.To be honest, I don’t want you to get involved.”
Seeing Zhang Xu's photo, he thought of investigating the drowning incident after Baorui Pavilion. But he also knew the little girl's temper, and it was impossible for her to stay out of the incident now.
Duan Mo disagreed: "You also said that the case will be brought to light at the appropriate time. Now we are just investigating in secret, so just be careful."
"Remember, no matter what happens, you must tell me. Also, you can't act alone." Lu Wuchuan said with a serious face, "If you can't do it, then just don't care about anything."
"Yes, I can do it." Duan Mo nodded hurriedly in assurance.
…
With a photo and name, it is easy to check a person's identity, just log in to the household registration system.
As soon as he arrived at the office the next morning, Duanmo turned on the computer.
When he opened the internal website and logged in to the system, the keyboard was covered by Lu Wuchuan's hand.
Her slender fingers quickly tapped out a set of account numbers and passwords. She looked up at him, but he walked around the desk and sat down in his seat as if nothing had happened.
Duan Mo naturally understood his intentions. He had higher authority than her, and there were traces of logging into the system. He was protecting her.
Pursing her lips, she returned her gaze to the screen and pulled up the basic information about the three people Cui Yinghua wanted to check.
Needless to say, Zhang Xu already had some information when he checked Baorui Pavilion.
The other two people were Shan Lixuan, the general manager of Haiman Import and Export Trading Company, and Lin Feiyang, the deputy director of the Liancheng Customs and Port Supervision Office.
Having only known Zhang Xu's identity before, Duan Mo still didn't know why Cui Yinghua wanted to investigate them. After finding out Shan Lixuan and Lin Feiyang, she understood a little more and couldn't help but feel secretly surprised.
The general manager of the import and export trading company and the deputy director of the Port Supervision Department. It is self-evident that these two people are within the scope of Cui Yinghua's investigation.
Duan Mo did not download and print the information, but kept it in mind before logging out of the system.
At nine o'clock, Xie Changyu convened a meeting in the small conference room. In addition to the people from the special case team, there were also Lei Qiushi from the economic investigation and one of his subordinates.
The small conference room was only twenty or thirty square meters wide. Nine people were sitting around the conference table, and the room was suddenly full.
When everyone arrived, Xie Changyu went straight to the topic: "We called everyone here today because of the case where Lu Wuchuan and Duan Mo were attacked before. After preliminary investigation, it can basically be determined that it is related to Baorui Pavilion. After research and decision by the bureau leaders, this case will be formally investigated.
A case was opened for investigation. Because it may involve economic cases, Lei Qiushi, Zhang Minsheng and other members of the special case team except the two parties were selected to form an investigation team."
