Era: Starting from the local police station
Chapter 42: Roar
At this moment, Jiang Zhenghua suddenly said, "Call Director Yu and ask him to come over too."
Zhang Chongguang chuckled and glanced at him: "I'll do it. I almost forgot about it if you hadn't mentioned it."
Qiao Fuping pulled out three cigarettes and handed them over, smiling as he said, "Zhenghua, you need to be ready. You'll be reporting to Deputy Director Jin in a bit, explaining the next steps of the plan. Is that alright?"
Jiang Zhenghua did not answer immediately, but turned to look at the instructor who was holding the receiver.
Zhang Chongguang rolled his eyes and said irritably, "You brat, if I could explain myself clearly, would you even be involved?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Zhenghua heard a roar coming from the other end of the receiver.
"Zhang Chongguang, how much have you drunk? Who gave you the audacity to talk to me like that?"
Zhang Chongguang was taken aback, then his face fell, and he quickly explained, "Oh dear, Director Yu, how could I dare? This is all Jiang Zhenghua's fault. He angered me, and I was talking about him. I really wasn't talking about you. How could I dare say anything bad about you..."
Several minutes passed, and Director Yu was still yelling.
Seeing Zhang Chongguang's helpless expression, yet still forced to explain, and especially the somewhat resentful look in his eyes, the two couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Perhaps hearing the laughter from this side, or perhaps laughing in anger, Director Yu stopped speaking.
Zhang Chongguang hurriedly said that Deputy Director Jin might be coming over, and then immediately hung up the phone.
He turned around and glared at Jiang Zhenghua with annoyance: "I don't know how many years it's been since I've been scolded like this."
Jiang Zhenghua took out his cigarette case, pulled out three cigarettes, and handed them over, saying with a smile, "Why don't you curse him back? Are you afraid of him?"
Zhang Chongguang lit a cigarette and blew out the smoke: "There's no need. Everyone knows that Lao Yu is in a bad mood this year. He wants to argue with anyone he can get his hands on to vent his frustration."
Jiang Zhenghua asked, somewhat puzzled, "Why?"
"It's all because of that guy being transferred at the beginning of the year. Not only was our top officer transferred, but a whole bunch of his cronies were also taken along, and my own promotion was put on hold. Can you believe who wouldn't be furious in that situation? When the transfer order came down, Old Yu went straight to Director Zhong's office at the branch office and slammed his fist on the table. Apparently, everyone in the building heard Yu's roar. So, everyone knows he wants to pick a fight, but no one argues with him, leaving him to suffer in silence. If someone actually dared to argue with him, Old Yu would be laughing in the middle of the night."
Jiang Zhenghua laughed and said, "You guys are really wicked. Can't you let him vent his anger?"
Qiao Fuping snorted coldly: "Of course we can't let him have his way. You didn't see how arrogant he was when he was around last year, with his nostrils pointing to the sky. He was resentful, but we were resentful too. We're all police station chiefs, but he's just a section chief, and he's still not satisfied."
Zhang Chongguang nodded in agreement and asked seriously, "Can my previous suggestion be implemented?"
Jiang Zhenghua thought for a moment, then said thoughtfully, "Let's investigate first and see how his son behaves. If he's a good boy, then let it go. But if he's out fooling around all day, then bring him back and give him a good scolding."
Zhang Chongguang nodded, stood up and said, "I'll have Hu Gui inquire about this. That kid is usually very well-informed about these kinds of things."
Qiao Fuping added, "Go tell Lao Niu to cook for four more people. I reckon Deputy Director Jin will be bringing people over."
Zhang Chongguang responded and left.
Hu Gui is one of the contract workers in the institute, and he usually helps out by running errands.
Jiang Zhenghua hadn't seen him yet: "Has he started work?"
Qiao Fuping said, "You haven't seen him yet, have you? That's right, he took his grandfather to the hospital yesterday and took the day off. He goes to the branch office every morning to see if there are any non-confidential documents from here, and he'll bring them over, so he's late."
Soon, Qin Weijun came in and reported, "Chief, everyone has returned and is in the conference room."
Qiao Fuping raised his hand, rolled up his sleeve, and glanced at the time: "It's 11:20 now. Shall we arrange the tasks first?"
Jiang Zhenghua nodded: "Okay, it'll only be a dozen minutes later when we start eating."
The three of them immediately got up and walked outside.
Just as I stepped out of the director's office, I saw four people coming in through Cuihua's door.
The person in the lead was Jin Hong, deputy director of the Dongcheng Branch Bureau; to his left was Yu Yong, director of the Yu'er Hutong Police Station; to his right was a middle-aged policeman in his forties, Lin Song, instructor of the Yu'er Hutong Police Station; and behind him was a young man in his twenties.
Qiao Fuping hurriedly took a few steps.
Jiang Zhenghua and his companion followed closely behind, stopping a short distance away and raising their hands in salute: "Greetings, Deputy Director Jin, Director Yu, and Instructor Lin."
The three of them returned the greeting simultaneously.
Putting his hands down, Jin Hong asked, "Are you going out?"
Qiao Fuping said, "Get ready to go to a meeting. Deputy Director Jin, please come to my office and have Comrade Jiang Zhenghua report on the progress of the case."
Jin Hong waved his hand: "No need for a separate report. Since we're having a meeting, let's all listen together. Don't keep the comrades waiting."
Qiao Fuping gestured for him to proceed and said with a smile, "With Deputy Director Jin's guidance, I am even more confident about the upcoming investigation."
"You, when did you learn to flatter? I only brought my ears with me today."
Qiao Fuping pushed open the door, and Jin Hong strode in first, followed by Yu Yong and Lin Song.
The people who were chatting in their seats immediately fell silent and stood up.
Jin Hong reached out and pressed down, "Alright, we're all comrades, you've all been working hard all morning, sit down."
Liu Baojia and his family, who were originally sitting in the front row, immediately picked up the things on the table and moved them to the back.
Qiao Fuping quickly said, "Deputy Director Jin, Chief of Staff Yu, Instructor Lin, please have a seat."
Jin Hong nodded and said to Zhang Chongguang, "Old Zhang, sit with me. I have some questions to ask. Let's skip the formalities of meetings and speeches and just proceed according to your established procedures."
As he spoke, he walked behind the table and sat down.
Qiao Fuping was taken aback, then turned to Jiang Zhenghua and said, "Then you take the lead. Let's begin once everything is ready."
Yu Yong pulled Qiao Fuping behind a long table and, without saying a word, pressed him down onto a stool: "Come squeeze in with me and Lao Lin. I'll ask you some questions if I don't understand something."
Lin Song smiled and pulled over a stool from the side, sitting down directly next to him.
Seeing that everyone was seated, Jiang Zhenghua didn't stand on ceremony and went straight up to tear off the gray cloth, revealing the large blackboard.
"Let's begin the meeting. I won't ask too many details, but I'd like to ask the teams that conducted their rounds this morning: did you find any clues about the two suspects or the primary crime scene?"
Everyone was taken aback.
Several people immediately shook their heads.
Chen Shan raised his hand.
Jiang Zhenghua nodded: "Old Chen, tell me about your findings."
Chen Shan began, "This morning, during my rounds, I met a woman named Zhang Qin who was buying groceries. She told me something: around 10 p.m. the night before last, she heard a man calling for help. Someone shouted 'Robbery!' It was just one shout, and then there was no more sound. She asked her husband, who said he hadn't heard anything. So she wasn't sure; she was afraid it was a hallucination."
Have you surveyed the surrounding area?
"Her house is two alleys away from where we were. She had heard about the murder case and mentioned it to me when she passed by. I was planning to investigate, but Qin Weijun came and said that the station needed to make new arrangements, so I was going in the afternoon."
"Where is that location?"
"Xiguan Hutong is roughly the border between our jurisdiction and that of Yu'er Hutong Police Station."
Jiang Zhenghua immediately looked at Yu Yong: "Chief Yu, have you received any reports of robberies?"
Yu Yong immediately shook his head: "No, these past two days have all been cases involving neighborhood disputes."
Jiang Zhenghua stepped forward and wrote "Xiguan Hutong" on the blackboard, connecting it with "First Crime Scene" with a line. Then he said to Chen Shan, "Old Chen, this afternoon you go with Baojia and carefully ask the others if they heard any noise. If they did, search the area carefully to see if you can find any clues to find the First Crime Scene."
Chen Shan sat down in response.
