When Lu Shanmin saw Ji Tiejun, he almost didn't recognize him.
Ji Tiejun's round face has lost a lot of weight, his hair grows randomly on his head like weeds, his face is greasy, and his beard climbs from the corners of his mouth to his temples, tightly connected together. Deep bags under his eyes hang on his face.
Under the narrow eyes, the eyeballs are almost invisible.
Ji Tiejun brought Lu Shanmin to the office and leaned tiredly on the sofa. Sanwu cigarettes flickered in and out of his mouth. He didn't speak until he finished smoking a cigarette and said, "There are no cameras or recording equipment in the office."
Lu Shanmin retracted his gaze and said calmly: "You look terrible."
Ji Tiejun nodded, "It's really bad. The superiors issued a death order. The case must be solved within three months. This is the deadline, and it is also your last deadline."
"Three months"? Lu Shanmin frowned. He understood what Ji Tiejun meant. Everything must be done within three months, otherwise he would lose the support of the police and the tacit understanding he had maintained before would completely collapse.
"The head of the Meng family paid for these three months with his life and lifetime honor. Otherwise, I would no longer be sitting here, and you would have no choice but to go to the prison to see me."
Lu Shanmin was silent. He knew that Ji Tiejun was not exaggerating. Such a big thing happened in Daluoshan, and it would have been very difficult for Ji Tiejun not to immediately suspend his duties and investigate.
"what's your plan"?
Ji Tiejun squinted his eyes and looked at Lu Shanmin, "I have been completely dragged into the water by you. There is no way out. You should give me an explanation."
"I told you, my ultimate goal is the shadow."
"Shadow". Ji Tiejun sighed and murmured: "Yeah, how can we make them believe that shadow really exists? Do you know what the people above think of us? Some of them think we are conspiracy theorists, and some think we are
My brain is broken.
"They didn't even believe the words of the head of the Meng family"?
Ji Tiejun, who had always been smiling, had a heavy face, "Several of his close comrades persuaded him to see a psychiatrist, what do you think?"
Ji Tiejun once again took out a cigarette and lit it, "Big shots are busy with everything. It's not that they don't believe what the leader says, it's that they don't believe what anyone says. They only believe in evidence, even if it's just a little bit of evidence to support what you say.
If everyone believed what they said, the world would be in chaos."
Ji Tiejun stared closely
Lu Shanmin's eyes, "Are you just out for revenge"?
Lu Shanmin fanned the wafting smoke, thought for a moment and said: "Yes, not entirely. People's destiny should be in their own hands, not manipulated by certain people. Moreover, there should be no dark things in the bright world.
exist".
Ji Tiejun nodded, "You have gone through many vicissitudes of life in these years, but I didn't expect that you still have an ideal side."
Lu Shanmin shook his head, "I don't have any ideals, but I carry the ideals of many people. I also know that where there is sunshine, there will be shadows, but like you, I have no way out,".
Ji Tiejun smiled and said, "It's not that you have no way out, you are stubborn and stubborn. However, I appreciate your stubborn temper."
Then he asked: "Where are the Lu family, Tian family and Wu family?"
Lu Shanmin did not answer directly, but asked: "We only have three months, what are your plans?"
Ji Tiejun flicked the ashes of his cigarette and said, "Since there is no way out, we can't control so many rules and regulations. If formal methods don't work, we can only try to take an eccentric approach."
"Taking a wrong approach"? Lu Shanmin's eyes suddenly widened and he stared at Ji Tiejun, "So you kidnapped Lu Zhenchi and Tian Yuezai"?
Ji Tiejun looked calm, not panicked by Lu Shanmin's sudden questioning, nor did he show dissatisfaction because he was suspected.
"Do you think it's possible for me?" "I'm not the only policeman at the foot of the mountain."
"Just because you are not the only one, there is no need for you to hide anything"?
Ji Tiejun lowered his head and smoked a cigarette. After a while, he raised his head and said, "There is indeed a strange thing. The head of the Nalan family, Nalan Zijian, also came to Daluo Mountain that day and gave me a business card."
He took out a business card inlaid with gold wire from his pocket and placed it on the coffee table.
Lu Shanmin stared at the business card. The phone number on it was an unfamiliar number, which was different from the number stored in his mobile phone.
Ji Tiejun continued: "He said he wanted to make friends with me and said this number was his secret contact number."
Lu Shanmin stared into Ji Tiejun's eyes, his expression changing. Nalan Zijian was the only person he was completely unsure about.
"still have a question".
Before Lu Shanmin could ask, Ji Tiejun said: "Lü Zhenchi and Tian Yue were fleeing for their lives in a car at a very fast speed. By the time I saw clearly, they had already passed the checkpoint."
"You would also make such a stupid mistake?" Lu Shanmin had doubts in his eyes.
"I'm telling the truth." Ji Tiejun said calmly: "It's easy for you to take the wrong path, but it's not easy for a policeman. I have never hesitated in my career, but I hesitated at that time.
When I was hesitating whether to take a gamble on Nalan Zijian, they had already left in their car."
"So you think it was Nalan Zijian who robbed them."
Ji Tiejun took a deep breath from his cigarette and said, "As a policeman, I don't want to admit it. But he is the biggest suspect."
"You didn't take anyone to check"?
Ji Tiejun smiled and said, "You are also a rich man. You should know better than me how easy it is for you rich people to hide two people. Nalan Zijian alone has more than a dozen properties under his name, and more
Don't talk about the real estate held in other people's names. Where can I go early?" He paused and said, "What's more, since he is taking the wrong direction, why should I check him?"
Lu Shanmin frowned, "I advise you not to believe Nalan Zijian. This man is very sophisticated and has no rules in his work. Until now, no one is sure what his purpose is." "Moreover, in
He has a vicious heart under his beautiful skin, and he won't even blink if he kills people."
Ji Tiejun obviously didn't understand Nalan Zijian as well as Lu Shanmin did, and his heart pounded when he heard it.
"You'd better not tell Ma Anshan these things. Although he has changed a lot, he is still stubborn in principle." He paused again and said, "He is a good policeman." "Our country needs
He polices like that”.
Lu Shanmin nodded, "There is one more thing."
Ji Tiejun frowned, with a look of embarrassment on his face, "I advise you to give up this idea."
"Since you know me so well, you know that I will not listen to your advice."
Ji Tiejun sighed and said, "You should know that so many people have died in Daluoshan, and there are many people watching this case. If someone gets caught, you and I will be in big trouble."
"Didn't you just say that the higher authorities have promised a three-month period? Within these three months, I believe that no matter how big the trouble is, it will not be a trouble. As for after three months, if there is more or less, then there will be
It doesn’t matter, if you fail anyway, you will die.”
