Detective: From the Police Academy

Chapter 417 Review [Case 718]

"Luo Rui, what the hell do you mean?"

Cao Yang pointed at Luo Rui's nose and wanted to continue to speak rudely: "I tell you, this is Qingyang City, not Linjiang..."

At the same time, Lin Chen and Chu Yang stood up together. Lin Chen was the most excited and immediately retorted: "You Qingyang City is so great!? Who is leading you? Captain Cao, you'd better watch your mouth. If you slam the table and swear here, I will fight you to the death!"

Lin Chen has always been gentle and refined, and seems a little delicate, but at this moment his eyes were wide open, his hands were on the table, and he wanted to bite Cao Yang.

Cao Yang was not timid either. He knew in his heart that if the leaders sitting at the top were not in a good position, he would have to be the pioneer.

"Officer Lin, this has nothing to do with you. I'm asking about Luo Rui..."

Lin Chen slammed the table and glared at him: "Captain Cao, you are also a captain. You have been around for so many years, do you know the rules? You call someone by his position during work. Did you call him Luo Rui?"

"you……"

"What's wrong with me?" Lin Chen sneered and looked at Sun Kang and the others: "Director Sun, and all the captains, I want to ask you, what is the matter with the [718 case]? You are hiding it, and even the provincial department can't access the case file. If you have nothing to hide, then bring the case file to prove your innocence!

If you don't have the courage, that's fine, we will naturally explain the situation to the provincial departments and ministries.

In addition, we didn't have to come to Qingyang City. It was Director Sun who personally went to the provincial department to invite Director Luo to assist you in the investigation. It's only been a day, and you are so uncooperative. What's the reason behind this?"

Lin Chen stretched out his hand: "Could you please explain, Director Sun?"

Upon hearing this, everyone present held their breath and didn't dare to breathe.

No one expected that the policewoman in front of them was so bold. It's okay to confront Cao Yang, a veteran gang member, and no one will say anything, but pointing the finger at the head of a bureau, isn't that too fierce?
There were dozens of people in the conference room, and 99% of them didn't know Lin Chen's identity, but Sun Kang knew it.

Although Lin Chen's surname is Lin, she is indeed the only daughter of the big boss Wu Chaoxiong.

Seeing how powerful she was, Sun Kang felt uneasy.

Seeing that the female police officers under Luo Rui were so ruthless, Cao Yang was naturally unwilling to be speechless, and immediately said: "Officer Lin, you are eloquent and I can't argue with you, but the [718 case] has been over for three years, and there is indeed no problem. The reason why we don't want to explain it to you is because the criminal suspect who has been tried and executed was once our colleague!
And it's not just us. The prosecution by the procuratorate and the judgment by the court are all in compliance with the law. If you really want to find fault, go find them!"

Lin Chen was amused and shook his head: "Captain Cao, you really know how to shirk responsibility? Okay, you are aboveboard and legal, then bring the file for us to take a look."

Cao Yang gritted his teeth and said, "Sure, as long as you show us the review procedures..."

Before he could finish his words, Sun Kang glared at him fiercely and Cao Yang immediately shut up.

Lin Chen kept nagging Cao Yang: "Captain Cao, if you don't have the ability, don't be the first to take action, or you'll end up in trouble."

"You..." Cao Yang's face turned pale.

"Sit down!" Sun Kang shouted at him, "You are so unruly. Who told you to yell in the meeting room? Comrades from the provincial department came all the way here to see your face?"

Cao Yang sat down angrily, not daring to answer, but kept staring at Lin Chen.

At this time, Sun Kang looked at Luo Rui, ready for a "king-to-king meeting".

"Director Luo, do you really want to review the [718 case]?"

From the beginning to the end, Luo Rui let Lin Chen take the lead. After all, this girl was too powerful, and he was also surprised by her violent temper. This kind of personality was quite rare in normal times, but judging from the environment she grew up in, she must have her own aura. In Haidong Province, there were not many people who could scare her.

If we talk about her being a daughter of heaven, then it is true. How many people in the world have as much status as her father?

Besides, her father is not even 55 years old yet. This age is his biggest advantage. One day, he will enter...

"Sit down." Luo Rui pulled her sleeve.

Lin Chen was still angry. Seeing Cao Yang sitting opposite her still glaring at her, she raised her finger and pointed at him, warning him harshly: "I'm telling you, you'd better not glare at me!"

Seeing Cao Yang turning away reluctantly, she sat down on the chair with a cold snort.

Then, Luo Rui answered Sun Kang's question: "Director Sun, to be honest, it's not me who wants to review the [718 case], do you understand?"

The significance of this sentence is no less than a bomb exploding. If it’s not you, then who else could it be?

Sun Kang understood everything at once. He sighed and looked at the captain beside him: "Old Chen, go to the archives room in person and get all the files of the [718 case]."

"Okay, I'll go right away."

The meeting room fell silent. Neither side spoke, but everyone could clearly see that the atmosphere was a bit tense. The grassroots police officers were fine, but those in some positions did not have a very good attitude toward Luo Rui and others.

In particular, the Qingyang City criminal police sitting on Luo Rui's side took the lead and walked away, and then others walked to the opposite side of the conference table one after another.

Gradually, Luo Rui, Cai Xiaojing, Lin Chen and Chu Yang were the only four people sitting alone on his side.

But compared to them, people like Sun Kang felt even more uncomfortable and were in a state of confusion.

After he whispered with a few people around him, he turned to look at Luo Rui and broke the silence: "Director Luo, I just heard you say that the [718 case] is similar to the [404 case] that just happened. So, you have already learned about the [718 case]?"

If he hadn't known about it, would Lin Chen have been so angry and confronted you? Luo Rui complained in his heart, but pretended to smile and nodded: "Not bad, I know a little bit."

Damn, there’s a mole!
This was the first thing Sun Kang thought of. He looked around at the people in the conference room, then frowned at his apprentice Cao Yang.

Luo Rui and his group rushed over from the provincial department, but they didn't even step into the door of the municipal bureau. Only Cao Yang had contact with him.

Cao Yang felt his whole body go numb when he was stared at by him. He blinked and moved closer to him: "Director Sun, you know me... Could it be Xiao Sun?"

"Get lost." Sun Kang cursed, thinking that this was really possible.

My son is actually colluding with the Japanese?
He looked at Luo Rui again: "Director Luo, where did you get this information from?"

Luo Rui blinked and replied thoughtfully: "Director Sun, I can't tell you this, right?"

Shit, it's really my kid! Sun Kang clenched his fists under the table, thinking to himself, when this kid comes back, I will definitely skin him alive.

Half an hour later, until eleven o'clock in the evening, the Chen team that had left earlier came with several people and brought seven corrugated cardboard boxes.

The boxes were placed fiercely on the conference table. Before leaving, Captain Chen gave Luo Rui a fierce glance.

"So many?" Lin Chen asked in surprise.

Sun Kang said, "Director Luo, everything is here. It will take at least several days to finish reading it all."

"It's okay." Luo Rui replied, "Director Sun, if you don't mind, can we use this conference room first?"

"Okay." Sun Kang seemed nonchalant and instructed the others, "It's getting late, all of you should leave. By the way, Cao Yang, you stay and cooperate with Luo Chu and the others. If they don't know, you will be responsible for explaining it."

Cao Yang complained: "Director Sun, I haven't slept for two nights."

"You've been up all night for two nights, but you haven't solved the [404 case]?" Sun Kang said angrily, and then turned to Luo Rui: "Director Luo, is that it?"

Luo Rui told Chu Yang and the others to bring the cardboard boxes, and nodded to him: "Okay, then thank you, Director Sun."

Sun Kang and his group left the meeting room and closed the door, and everyone immediately gathered around him.

Chen Changyi, the commander of the Chen Detachment, immediately said, "Director Sun, you are so confused. We shouldn't have given them the files."

Sun Kang pondered for a moment and said, "What are you afraid of? A person with a clear conscience has nothing to fear. When Kong Zhijie committed the crime, he had all the evidence and confession. The prosecution and sentencing were all in accordance with normal procedures. There is nothing to worry about."

"Didn't Luo Yanwang just say that there are similarities between the [718 case] and the [404 case]? I'm afraid there's something fishy going on. If he really finds out something, then we'll..."

Sun Kang frowned, "Old Chen, don't you understand? It's not him who wants to investigate, it's the bureau! Without Captain Zhu's order, would he interfere? I tell you, there is really something wrong with the [718 case], but there is nothing we can do. We can't be the sinners, right?
Besides, Director Luo and his men are also our own people. If we invite cats from the Inspection Office or other departments, then things will get serious.”

Chen Changyi said worriedly, "Director Sun, I think we should immediately notify the procuratorate and the court, especially the secretary, while there is still room for maneuver."

Sun Kang gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, let's go now and meet at the bureau tomorrow morning. I want to see what this Luo Yanwang can find out."

----------

At twelve o'clock late in the night, the conference room was quiet, with only the sound of flipping papers.

Cao Yang was lying bored in a chair in the corner. As it was difficult to put his feet, he dragged over a chair to put his legs.

Yan Wu was more decent. He sat upright in the chair, with his hands between his thighs, his eyes closed, and his head drooping from time to time.

They were so sleepy that they fell asleep immediately, one lying down and the other sitting.

Lin Chen flipped through the documents, looked at them with disdain, and shouted, "Captain Cao..."

Cao Yang was sleeping soundly, so how could he hear anything?

"Captain Cao!" Lin Chen shouted, "Can you please stop snoring!"

Cao Yang mumbled something, turned over, turned his back to the wall, and continued to sleep, but his snoring could no longer be heard.

Lin Chen pouted: "If you want to sleep, go back to sleep. How can you sleep in front of your eyes?"

"Okay, don't worry about it." Cai Xiaojing advised: "It's not easy for them either. They have been up for two nights. If they don't get a little more sleep, they will have health problems."

"That's because they are useless!" Lin Chen said, "Captain Cai, let me tell you, Captain Cao did it on purpose. He didn't sleep at all, he was just pretending."

Chu Yang handed a stack of files to Luo Rui next to him, and then turned around and asked: "How do you know he is pretending to sleep?" Lin Chen said angrily: "Believe it or not, he has heard every word we said now. Tomorrow morning, he will report to Director Sun."

“That’s understandable.” Chu Yang put himself in their shoes and thought: “If someone came to question the case we handled, we would feel uncomfortable.”

"Director Luo, look, Chu Yang is being disloyal. Should you fire him?" Lin Chen pretended to be aggrieved.

Luo Rui stood up and dragged the whiteboard in the corner of the conference room, while answering: "Aren't you forcibly breaking up Chu Yang and Qiao Xue? If Sister Qiao knew, she would definitely be angry with you."

Chu Yang's face immediately turned red: "Team Leader, that's not the case. Don't listen to Lin Chen's nonsense."

"Why am I talking nonsense?" Lin Chen rolled his eyes: "I only saw you treating Sister Qiao to a movie, but I didn't see you treating me?"

"Do you still need me to treat you? The young masters chasing after you can probably line up all the way to the imperial capital."

"Tsk. You are really something. Movie tickets are not worth much, and you are so stingy."

Chu Yang couldn't argue with her, so he raised his hands and begged for mercy: "Okay, okay, I'll treat you. When the case is over and we return to the provincial capital, I'll treat everyone to a movie together. Is that okay?"

Lin Chen turned from anger to joy: "That's right! Let me tell you, Chu Yang, we don't have to ask you to spend money. Think about it, if you invite Sister Qiao alone, what if she refuses you? Wouldn't that be embarrassing?
So, you invite all of us together, and buy two seats that are separate from us, and you and Sister Qiao sit alone together, isn't that right? You two can hold hands in private, do something embarrassing, and we can't see it, right?"

Chu Yang's heartache over the money he spent on the movie tickets disappeared immediately when he heard this. He immediately gave Lin Chen a thumbs up and said, "You are indeed the one, Officer Lin. Who did you learn all this from? You said you have never been in a relationship before, but I can see from your experience in relationships that you are a veteran!"

"Are you praising me or insulting me?" Lin Chen pouted: "I haven't eaten pork, but have I seen a pig run?"

Cai Xiaojing laughed and said, "What's the point of being a pig? You two made this thing look so bad, even though it was originally a good thing."

Chu Yang immediately agreed: "That's right, Officer Lin is too uncultured. He doesn't have any beautiful fantasies about free and noble love. His mind is full of unsightly things."

Lin Chen snorted: "Noble bullshit, love, love bullshit, I will never fall in love or get married in my life."

"Is it true?" Chu Yang asked casually.

“Of course.” Lin Chen said sadly, “My love is shattered. My prince charming… no, my prince dark horse is already engaged. How can I still have the fantasy of marrying someone else? I will end up living alone…”

"Go away." Luo Rui was pasting the photos in the file on the whiteboard. He turned around and said to her, "Stop talking nonsense with her. Go find a restaurant that's still open and order some food."

"How can there be any restaurant open at this time, my Director Luo?" Lin Chen took out his cell phone and said, "I'll call Fang Yonghui to see when he and Sun Zhihao will be back and bring us a few buckets of instant noodles, otherwise we will be hungry until tomorrow morning."

As she spoke, Lin Chen dialed the number. As her two hands were busy typing on the keyboard, she wanted to turn on the speakerphone, but when she heard snoring coming from the corner, she picked up the phone.

She answered the call for a while, then put the phone down and looked at Luo Rui deeply: "They are already on their way back."

Luo Rui understood what she meant, so he nodded and continued with the work at hand.

At three o'clock in the morning, Fang Yonghui and Sun Zhihao rushed to the meeting room, carrying several large bags.

"It was hard for us to find a meal. All the restaurants were closed at this time, so we couldn't find anything to eat. Fortunately, Xiao Sun is a local and took me to find a food stall that was open all night."

Fang Yonghui put the food bag on the conference table: "We bought all the barbecue that the boss bought from the store. Captain Cai likes to eat grilled squid and scallops; Director Luo likes to eat grilled lamb and beef skewers; Chu Yang likes to eat saury and grilled eggplant; and Officer Lin likes to eat grilled kidneys and grilled lamb eggs..."

"Go!" Lin Chen threw a pen at him: "You are the one who likes to eat roasted lamb eggs!"

Fang Yonghui quickly took the pen and said with a smile: "I thought you liked it, but it doesn't matter, there is also porridge, crab roe porridge, shrimp porridge and eel porridge packed specially for you, one portion per person, come quickly, eat it while it's hot."

Cai Xiaojing helped open the bag and saw that they had bought so much at once. She smiled and said, "Yonghui, I'm sorry for the expense."

Fang Yonghui waved his hand: "It's not me who invited you, it's Xiao Sun who invited you."

Even Xiao Sun was invited? Lin Chen smiled and asked, "Are you guys still friends?"

Sun Zhihao touched the back of his head and smiled sheepishly: "It's my duty. This is my workplace."

Lin Chen muttered, "You are a deputy captain and you are treating us. I have seen captains who are not so enthusiastic."

When Sun Zhihao heard this, he noticed that there were two people in the corner of the meeting room.

He quickly walked over and pushed Cao Yang: "Captain Cao."

Cao Yang was still pretending to be asleep, but his apprentice Yan Wu opened his eyes. He was not woken up by the noise, but by the smell of barbecue.

He smiled and wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth embarrassedly: "Brother Hao."

Sun Zhihao smiled and said, "Go eat something, then go to sleep."

Yan Wu glanced at his master's back and shook his head: "I'm not hungry."

Luo Rui was sitting in a chair, eating a skewer of lamb head meat. He turned his chair and faced them: "Your name is Xiao Wu, right?"

Yan Wu quickly stood up and said respectfully, "Yes, Director Luo."

Luo Rui waved his hand: "Come, let's eat together."

"No, I'm really not hungry." Yan Wu was polite and tried not to look at the barbecue on the table that was emitting an enticing aroma.

"Stop talking nonsense. Just eat when I tell you to. After you finish, help us clean up." Luo Rui almost ordered.

"Then..." Yan Wu looked at his master's back, which was as still as a mountain.

Sun Zhihao pushed him and said, "Go ahead, don't just stand there."

"Thank you, Director Luo, and thank you, Brother Hao."

Yan Wu betrayed his master and hurriedly went to the table. He picked up the steaming mutton skewer, bit it from the bottom and pulled it all the way to the end.

He stuffed all the mutton as big as his little finger into his mouth, leaving only the bare bamboo stick in his hand.

He hummed twice, chewed it casually, and swallowed it into his stomach. He then picked up a string of golden roasted chicken wings, took one off, and put it in his mouth. In two or three seconds, he took the chicken wing out of his mouth, and only the bare skeleton was left, without even a trace of meat.

Luo Rui, Lin Chen and Chu Yang were all stunned. They had never seen anyone eat barbecue so professionally before. They had met their match!
I didn't hear his northern accent either...

Chu Yang quickly took the saury that he liked to eat.

Lin Chen also immediately snatched away a bunch of sheep eggs...

Cai Xiaojing was a little slow in her action. Just when she was about to take the squid skewer, it was snatched away by Yan Wu. Not only that, he was also waving a string of grilled leeks in his hand, which was eaten hot.

Luo Rui couldn't help it anymore, so he took out a bottle of Coke and handed it to him: "Xiao Wu, come here, have a drink."

"Thank you, Director Luo." Yan Wu nodded gratefully. He took the Coke, put it on the table, and leaned against the table. He opened the pull ring with one hand and kept eating the skewers with the other hand.

While he was drinking Coke with his head tilted back, everyone immediately rushed forward and grabbed the few remaining barbecues.

On the other side, Sun Zhihao was still calling Cao Yang: "Captain Cao, don't sleep anymore, eat something."

Cao Yang's tightly closed eyelids slightly relaxed, and he muttered: "Xiao Wu has gone, is there still a place for me?"

"Uh..." Sun Zhihao said listlessly, "There are still quite a few left. I bought some porridge. Hurry up and get up. Don't pretend to be asleep. Others may not know you, but I know you, right?"

"Okay, kid!" Cao Yang sat up, pretended to stretch, then glanced at Luo Chu and the others who were feasting, and whispered, "Mouse, I'll go out and talk with you."

Sun Zhihao nodded suspiciously.

Cao Yang quietly walked around the conference table and brought Sun Zhihao to the dim corridor. He closed the door and then pulled Sun Zhihao to the end of the corridor.

"Haozi, did you tell Luo Yanwang about the [718 case]?"

Sun Zhihao was surprised and asked, "What's wrong? I didn't say anything."

Seeing that Cao Yang didn't believe him, he said again: "Captain Cao, please believe me, I really didn't lie!"

"Didn't you see the files on the conference table? They're all about the [718 case]!"

Sun Zhihao frowned. He really hadn't seen it. He couldn't help but said in surprise, "My dad... Director Sun agreed to let him review the files? No, I don't understand. Director Luo brought us here to investigate the [404 case]. He can't just ignore this case, right?"

Cao Yang sighed: "The suspects in the [404 case] have all been arrested..."

"What?" Sun Zhihao was horrified. "Impossible. Brother Hui and I were just investigating the victim's daughter. It's only been a short while, and the case has been solved?"

"How could it be false?" Cao Yang felt a headache, but he had to admit to Luo Rui: "It was the person arrested by your Director Luo, and the suspect himself admitted to the murder. This Luo Yanwang acted so quickly, it seems that he came prepared and specifically came to mess with us."

The more Sun Zhihao thought about it, the more puzzled he became: "I can't say he came prepared..."

He suddenly thought of something very important, but Cao Yang gritted his teeth and spoke viciously, dispelling the thought that had just emerged in his mind.

"Just wait and see. If your father... my master falls into his hands, I will never let him go! Even if I have to take off this uniform, I will bring this Luo Yanwang back to life!"

Cao Yang looked towards the conference room fiercely. Through the blinds, he saw Luo Rui standing in front of the whiteboard, posting a photo of Kong Zhijie, the main culprit in the [718 case].

Here is a photo of him in police uniform…
