Reborn in 97, I solved a cold case at the Municipal Bureau

Chapter 23 Summons
Wu Yongcheng and Zhou Yi drove back to the Municipal Bureau and applied for a subpoena for Zhang Xinli, Wang Youfu and Zhu Xuejun.

Among them, Zhu Xuejun's summons application was expedited because when he called the hospital security department to inquire about the situation, the other party provided a piece of information: Zhu Xuejun was going to another province or city tomorrow to attend an academic seminar for three days.

At the same time, Wu Yongcheng took the time to call the Nanhu Street Police Station where Zhou Yi was located, saying that Zhou Yi was involved in a major case and the Municipal Bureau needed to temporarily requisition him.

The specific reason was not mentioned, which scared the police station chief across the street into a cold sweat, fearing that Zhou Yi had committed a crime.

You know, if a police officer on duty commits a crime, it will be a huge stain on his political future as the director.

Soon, the summons procedure for Zhu Xuejun was completed.

Wu Yongcheng asked Chen Yan to check Du Xiaolin's account again, especially to check for large amounts of money flowing in and out. After that, he went to Du Xiaolin's home to find her parents and find out if she had any large purchases.

Afterwards, Wu Yongcheng and Zhou Yi rushed to the hospital with the summons.

After arriving at the hospital, the two went straight to the office building.

Zhu Xuejun is the hospital's golden signboard, with a large portrait and introduction hanging in the most conspicuous position in the office building.

"He really looks like a human being." Zhou Yi glanced at the photo of the man wearing gold-rimmed glasses, smiling sweetly and looking harmless.

"Excuse me, which office is Zhu Xuejun in?" Zhou Yi stopped a young male doctor in a white coat in the corridor and asked.

The other party looked at the two of them suspiciously: "Are you the patient's family members? This is the office area, and family members of patients are not allowed to come in."

Wu Yongcheng pulled out his ID and said, "I'm from the Criminal Investigation Division of the Municipal Bureau, investigating the case."

Seeing the other party's serious expression, the young doctor quickly and obediently pointed out the direction.

Arriving at the door with the sign of Director's Office, Zhou Yi raised his hand and knocked on the door a few times.

The huge banging sound startled the people inside.

"Who is it?" The door suddenly opened, and the guy who looked the same as in the photo glared angrily at the two strangers in front of him.

In this hospital, even the dean has to be friendly to me when he comes. How could someone dare to knock on my door?

"Who are you?" Zhu Xuejun asked vigilantly.

"Are you Zhu Xuejun?"

"I am. Who are you? Patient's family members? Pharmaceutical representatives? I'm telling you, this is the hospital's office area. Outsiders are not allowed to enter. I'm going to call security!"

Zhu Xuejun shouted loudly, attracting the attention of many people in the corridor.

Wu Yongcheng took out his ID and summons and snorted coldly, "We are from the Criminal Investigation Detachment of the Municipal Bureau. We would like to ask you to go back and learn more about the situation."

As soon as the words "Criminal Investigation Detachment of the Municipal Bureau" came out, the arrogance on Zhu Xuejun's face immediately weakened by half.

"Oh, it turns out you are two police officers. Come on, come on, please come in."

As Zhu Xuejun spoke, he opened the door and took a few steps inside, looking welcoming.

But Wu Yongcheng and Zhou Yi, who were standing at the door, did not move.

Zhou Yi smiled and said, "Director Zhu, let's talk over there. Some of the questions might not be appropriate to ask here. After all, there are many people in the hospital, and even the walls have ears. If someone with ulterior motives hears, it will have a bad impact."

This is the unspoken understanding between Wu Yongcheng and Zhou Yi, one plays the bad guy and the other plays the good guy.

Zhou Yi's words obviously worked, and the other party's expression changed immediately.

But at this time, there were already quite a few people watching nearby, and the crowd began to whisper.

Zhu Xuejun was used to showing off by relying on his academic achievements, and he suddenly felt humiliated.

He immediately pointed at the two men and shouted angrily, "What right do you have to ask me to go with you? I have two surgeries to perform today and a seminar to attend tomorrow. Can you bear the responsibility for delaying my work?"

Zhou Yi smiled and said, "If Director Zhu cooperates, it won't take long."

Zhu Xuejun looked at the two people in front of him. One looked like a smiling tiger and the other looked like a living devil. His face turned pale and blue.

Suddenly, he yelled in frustration, "I'm going to call Director Xie and file a complaint against you!"

Unexpectedly, Wu Yongcheng raised his chin and said indifferently: "Go."

Now it was Zhu Xuejun's turn to be dumbfounded, caught in a dilemma. Wu Yongcheng glanced at the phone on the desk in the room and walked over to it, saying, "If you don't want to call, I will. Is it okay to borrow your phone, Director Zhu?"

"This……"

Wu Yongcheng picked up the phone and dialed a number. The call was connected after a few seconds.

"Hello, Director Xie, I'm Old Wu, Wu Yongcheng."

"There's a director at the Third Municipal Hospital named Zhu Xuejun. Do you know him?"

"His surname is Zhu, Zhu Xuejun. He seems to know you."

"Ah, ah, yes, yes."

"We summoned him and asked him to assist in the investigation, but he refused to cooperate and even said he would come to you to file a complaint against us."

"Yes, there is no problem with the procedures. They are legal and compliant."

"Okay, we'll do it according to the law. We won't give face to anyone."

"Okay, now that you've said that, I know what's going on."

"You are busy, you are busy, thank you, Director."

Snapped--

Wu Yongcheng hung up the phone heavily and looked back at Zhu Xuejun with a domineering look.

"Director Zhu, who else do you want to complain to? I'll call them for you."

Zhou Yi immediately whispered, "Director Zhu, it wasn't a big deal to begin with, but if we continue to make a fuss, I'm afraid it's going to end badly."

Zhu Xuejun's lips trembled, and he asked pleadingly, "Can you not wear handcuffs?"

When Zhou Yi heard this, he almost laughed out loud.

It turns out that this director is ignorant of the law. He reacted so violently because he was afraid of being handcuffed and losing face.

"Hey, Director Zhu, you misunderstood. We just want you to go back and cooperate with the investigation. A summons is not a detention. A detention will result in handcuffs."

"I see, I see." Zhu Xuejun nodded repeatedly, "Then... I'll go with you."

"Please come in." Zhou Yi made a gesture of invitation.

Wu Yongcheng and Zhou Yi walked in front, while Zhu Xuejun followed at a distance behind, constantly explaining to his colleagues who were looking at him strangely.

"I'm going to help the police with some cases. I'm going to help. I'm going to help."

Zhou Yi suddenly whispered, "Captain Wu, your acting is pretty good."

Wu Yongcheng asked in astonishment, "Did you figure it out?"

"I didn't see it, but I saw you dialed the number for the weather forecast. So, how did you know he was bluffing?"

"You'll learn about our director later. He's a man who cherishes his reputation very much. What he hates most is people who use his name to get special treatment."

Zhou Yi gave a thumbs up and said, "I still need to learn more from Captain Wu, otherwise I won't be able to keep up with you."

"Flatterer!" Wu Yongcheng cursed with a smile.

"There's one more thing we might need to pay attention to."

Wu Yongcheng asked: "What's the matter?"

"Zhu Xuejun's reaction just now was a bit extreme. At first I thought he was trying to save face, but then he acted as if he didn't understand the law."

"But given his social status, he can't be so ignorant."

"I seriously suspect that besides his relationship problems, he has other issues going on."
