Rebirth 2014: I, the King of Criminal Investigation

Chapter 750 Actually, I'm not that familiar with him.
"how do you know?!"

Li Jun's eyes widened suddenly as he stared at Zhou Dong in disbelief.

"Because I know him."

Zhou Dong explained with a serious expression:
“He has been to my place before. His fiancée and my daughter are very good friends.”

"So you don't need to be so hostile towards me. Your subordinates, whom you value, have also visited my home."

He raised his voice slightly:

"Besides, we live in a society that values ​​relationships. People might develop connections with each other at some point, and there's nothing wrong with us making friends."

Li Jun initially thought Yu Dazhang had become corrupt, but upon hearing that it was his fiancée who was friends with Zhou Dong's daughter, Li Jun was relieved.

Although Li Jun did not agree with what Zhou Dong said, there was one fact that could not be ignored.

That's a society based on personal connections.

Too many public officials have stumbled because of the word "personal favor".

These seemingly insignificant interpersonal interactions are often traps carefully set by others.

When the other party truly needs you, the benefits they once gave you become leverage, putting you in a dilemma.

Li Jun had seen too many similar cases, so he naturally knew how to deal with them.

"I'd rather not make friends with them."

Li Jun stood up, put the receipt into his bag, and then looked at Zhou Dong and said:

"I don't have many friends, nor do I want to make any. Besides, there are principles and bottom lines to follow when it comes to social interactions between friends."

"Obviously you don't understand these things, so I can't be friends with you at all."

As he spoke, he waved his hand:

"Since you haven't made any moves yet, I'll let it go this time. Remember, I don't tolerate any nonsense."

After saying that, Li Jun left the room without looking back.

He never looked at the 200,000 yuan in cash again.

As soon as he stepped out of the study, the middle-aged man immediately came to greet him. He first glanced at Li Jun's empty hands, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

However, he quickly regained his composure, a respectful smile returning to his face, and said softly:
"Captain Li, the gentleman is only trying to be kind, why do you refuse?"

Li Jun didn't even glance at him, and walked straight to the stairwell.

Once outside, the middle-aged man quickly walked a few steps to the car and opened the door for Li Jun.

Once he was seated in the driver's seat, the middle-aged man handed him an envelope and said in a voice only the two of them could hear:

"This is a bank card. You don't have to use it, but please keep it. It will be a safety net for you if you ever need money urgently."

As he spoke, he was about to place the envelope on the partition inside the car.

Li Jun raised his hand to block the view and said in a cold voice:

"Take it back!"

These chilling words made the middle-aged man instinctively pull his hand back.

He glanced at Li Jun hesitantly, but seeing his unfriendly expression, he didn't dare say anything more.

After Li Jun closed the car door, he drove away, leaving the middle-aged man standing there, his expression shifting between anger and unease.

As he drove out of the manor, he grew angrier and angrier.

"Give me guarantees?"

As Li Jun drove, he muttered to himself:

"Damn it, what right do you have to say such things? You think too highly of yourselves."

Being scammed out of 200,000 yuan for no reason would upset anyone.

What's more, that last envelope really disgusted him.

Back at the branch office, he parked his car but didn't get out immediately. Instead, he called Yu Dazhang.

The ringtone rang for a long time before it was answered.

"Who?"

Yu Dazhang's voice was sleepy, clearly woken by the phone ringing. "It's past noon, why are you still sleeping?!"

Li Jun said irritably:

"You seem to be having a pretty good time lately."

"Where did this evil fire come from?" Upon hearing this, Yu Dazhang immediately sobered up and loudly protested his innocence:
"I stayed up all night last night, and it was already dawn when I got home."

He didn't believe Li Jun was unaware of the commotion last night, especially since Qian Cheng and Lü Zhongxin were clearly sent by Captain Li.

Since he knew, then he was deliberately picking a fight... Yu Dazhang thought for a moment, but he didn't think he had offended him in any way.

"How's the case going?" Li Jun asked.

When the case was mentioned, Yu Dazhang's voice lowered:

"It went relatively smoothly, but from my perspective, this case doesn't seem that simple, and there are likely many more issues to come."

Last night, when he was at the scene, he saw that Captain Xu and Captain Hua were very excited and happy, so he couldn't bear to discourage them.

All the missing persons in S Province and N Province have been found, and they should be happy.

However, there are still many doubts in this case. Unless the whole case is sorted out and all the relevant people are arrested, this case is not over.

"It's really frustrating."

Li Jun sighed, then said:

"I didn't come to you for anything specific, just to remind you to be careful around a guy named Zhou Dong. He's getting a bit too involved these days."

Zhou Dong? Yu Dazhang was taken aback when he heard this name and couldn't immediately recall who it was.

First, he had just been woken up and was still a little dazed.

Secondly, he had no concept of the name; it was clearly not someone he knew.

"Which Zhou Dong?" he blurted out.

"You think you can solve cases? What's wrong with your brain?" Li Jun retorted, then reminded him:
“The other party said that Qu Tuotuo knew his daughter and they were very good friends. They also said that you had been to his house, which was a very large manor with a castle inside.”

After hearing his description, Yu Dazhang immediately remembered.

It's him.

Putting everything else aside, Yu Dazhang will never forget that manor and castle.

"If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have almost forgotten about this person."

As Yu Dazhang recalled, he slowly said:

“I did go to his house once with Toqto’a before, but that was because of a money laundering case, not a private visit.”

"That person did give me a strange feeling, making me feel a bit awkward, but I couldn't find anything wrong with him."

He paused for a moment, then continued:

"How did you meet him? Also, what did you mean when you said he was overreaching?"

Li Jun then recounted the recent events.

After he finished speaking, he added:

“I just went to his house at noon and delivered 200,000 yuan there. This amount is likely more than that.”

"Sigh~" he sighed, saying helplessly:

"I guess I just had bad luck and encountered this for no reason. Actually, it's partly my fault. If I had gone to the hospital more often, they wouldn't have been able to take advantage of me."

Isn't this blatant framing of officials? Yu Dazhang was furious after hearing what had happened.

Is there any more royal method? !

To openly bribe the family members of public officials at a hospital in broad daylight is an egregious act.

"We can't just let this go!"

Yu Dazhang said through gritted teeth:

"That Zhou Dong is definitely up to something. What good person would take money to bribe someone for no reason? There's a saying..."

He thought for a moment and continued:
"By the way, those who offer unsolicited kindness are either up to no good or are thieves!"
