Late at night, Deng Bonan, director of the Jincheng Public Security Bureau, walked out of the community where Xu Yan lived, and in the night, his figure looked a little tired, his steps were heavy, and his shoulders were drooping.

Several policemen cautiously followed behind Deng Bonan, and no one dared to talk nonsense: Just now, Director Deng wanted to appease Director Xu who came down from the capital, but Haosheng accompanied him for a long time. The subordinates naturally guessed that Director Deng would be very unhappy when he had to apologize to a 20-year-old deputy director with a smile on his face and listen to the angry reprimands of others.

In front of his car, Deng Bonan stopped, but turned around and greeted: "Yu Zhao, come here." ”

Hearing Director Deng's greeting, Yu Zhao, the political commissar of the criminal police detachment, felt his heart beat violently, he walked over hard, and whispered: "Director Deng, I'm sorry, we caused you trouble tonight, and we promise that we will seriously reflect on it......"

"Well," to Yu Zhao's surprise, the expected thunderous anger did not come, and Deng Bonan did not seem angry, but was unusually calm: "Xiao Zheng of your detachment, she and Director Xu know each other?"

Yu Zhao couldn't have imagined that Deng Bonan summoned himself over, and the first thing he said was actually this--this doesn't seem to be an important matter, right?

He hesitated and said, "Well, it should be." Director Xu calls our Xiao Zheng Senior Sister, and they ...... Looks familiar. At that time, when Director Xu was angry, it was Xiao Zheng who calmed him down. ”

Deng Bonan nodded silently, but thoughtfully: "It's good to have friendship...... This, Lao Yu. The apology and compensation work will be left to Xiao Zheng. Let her communicate more with Director Xu. Be enthusiastic, and we must express our apologies and sincerity from the Jincheng City Public Security Bureau -- of course. The sincerity of your criminal branch should also be reflected, be proactive, be generous, and don't rely on Xiao Zheng for everything. ”

Yu Zhao knew that this was Deng Bonan hinting to himself that he should be generous when making compensation, and he must settle Director Xu's anger. He said with a bitter face: "Director Deng, the funds of our detachment are already very tight...... Can the bureau give us some support?"

"If the funds are not enough, you can pay for it yourself. Deng Bonan's tone was flat. But the words were unequivocal: "The basket you poke, the bureau can't carry it for you." What's more, your criminal ward has no money? That's a joke! Funds for handling cases are always tight, and there is no shortage of money -- I am also a person from the grassroots criminal police, Lao Yu. ”

"Yes, Director Deng, I will definitely find a way to solve the issue of compensation as soon as possible. ”

Deng Bonan shook his head: "It's not to solve it as soon as possible." Tomorrow, the compensation must be sent to Director Xu, so that you can show your sincerity in apologizing! Lao Yu, my old face. Fortunately, Xiao Zheng and Director Xu know each other, otherwise, tonight's business. It's really not something you can solve by writing a review!

Lao Yu, the hardest thing. I've solved it, if I can't even do something as trivial as losing money. You, the commissar, are too incompetent. ”

Yu Zhao's heart sank: "Uh...... Yes, yes, Director, don't worry, I will definitely handle this matter!"

"Hmm......" Deng Bonan groaned, looked at the dark bushes in the distance for a while, and suddenly lowered his voice: "Lao Yu, tell me, how can the 1225 case have anything to do with Director Xu?"

Hearing Deng Bonan ask, Yu Zhao was suddenly awe-struck, knowing that this was the key to tonight's conversation. He also lowered his voice: "Director Deng, 1225 project, do you know the facts of the case?"

"Well, Xiao Zheng reported to me once, and I probably remember -- it seems that five bodies and guns were found in the parking lot of a community, right?

Yu Zhao lowered his voice: "Director Deng, the community where the body was found is on the other side of the road -- just across the road from Director Xu's residence! Xu Yan is related to the 1225 murder case, this conclusion is not something we came up with out of thin air, there are many clues to corroborate it." ”

"Oh?"

"Director Deng, we have now found out that on December 25 last year, Xu Yan had a conflict with Zhao Liu, a ruffian leader in our city, and there are mediation records of that conflict in the police station.

We also found out that the five deceased, they were all Zhao Liu's subordinates, that night, they drove a van into the Meihua community where Xu Yan lived, and never came out again - the van had been parked in the community without moving, and we found it, and the car was full of fingerprints of the deceased...... Moreover, there were ropes, sacks, knives and other things in the car, and on the seat, we also found a note with a room number written on it, which was the number of Xu Yan's room!"

Deng Bonan is also an old criminal policeman, he doesn't need to explain, he immediately understands: "You mean, Xu Yan had a conflict with a ruffian named Zhao Liu, and that night, Zhao Liu sent five of his subordinates to kidnap or murder Xu Yan, but they were killed by Xu Yan instead?"

Yu Zhao nodded very seriously: "It's hard to say whether Xu Yan killed them or not, but Xu Yan is indeed suspected of committing a very serious crime! We also have a clue that someone made an anonymous phone call to report to the task force, saying that the five deceased were supposed to deal with Xu Yan that night, but they were killed by Xu Yan -- but we couldn't find the informant." ”

Deng Bonan asked in a deep voice: "That ruffian leader, Zhao Liu, has he been arrested?"

"When the case first broke out, he had come to our detachment to assist in the investigation, but he didn't know anything. At that time, we didn't know the ins and outs of the case, so it was difficult to deal with him. Now, we want to find him, but we can't find him. ”

"Missing?"

Deng Bonan glanced back at Xu Yan's residence in the distance, looking at the light on the windowsill, his eyes narrowed slightly, but he was silent-Deng Bonan was born as a criminal policeman, and he worked until he was the director of the public security bureau, what has he never seen?

Originally, Yu Zhao had previously reported that Xu Yan was a suspect in the 1225 murder case, but Deng Bonan scoffed at this statement -- how could it be? Xu Yan was the director of the Intelligence Department of the General Staff Headquarters. How could it be the murderer of last year's murder?

But just now, Xu Yan repeatedly emphasized. Asking the public security bureau to give him an explanation on this matter made Deng Bonan suspicious: What does it mean to give an explanation? Isn't it just that he, the director of the public security bureau, must give him a ticket. He promised that in the future, the Jincheng Public Security Bureau would not come to him again to investigate the 1225 murder case -- this is obvious, this guy is guilty of weakness! No, the criminal police detachment really didn't arrest the wrong person this time! The 1225 murder case really has something to do with Xu Yan!

Deng Bonan narrowed his eyes slightly, and the cold glint in his eyes flashed, looking unfathomable. He asked, "Say that Xu Yan is the murderer...... Is there any direct evidence? Even if it's just a fingerprint or a drop of blood!"

Yu Zhao shook his head in frustration: "No...... What we are collecting now is all circumstantial evidence, and many clues point to Xu Yan. He had a motive: he had a conflict with Zhao Liu, and Zhao Liu sent people to murder him. He kills in self-defense, which is an obvious motive, and he also has the ability to commit crimes -- he is very good at it, and tonight, we five or six police officers will not be able to restrain him. He must be seriously suspected of committing a crime, but we just don't have direct evidence......

We originally thought that we would arrest him back for interrogation and give him some means, and in just a day or two, we would definitely be able to break through his defenses. If I could get his confession, the evidence would be available at that time, but I didn't expect ......"

Speaking of this, Yu Zhao stopped awkwardly.

Deng Bonan was silent. He shook his head: "Lao Yu, what you said is only indirect evidence. The whole course of the case is speculation...... If there is no solid direct evidence, then we cannot detain or judge people -- you know. Xu Yan is an officer in the army!"

Yu Zhao hesitated: "Yes, I naturally understand this rule...... But if he is not arrested and brought back for trial. How can we find evidence?"

For a while, Deng Bonan and Yu Zhao were speechless: Xu Yan was an officer in the army, and if there was no conclusive evidence involved in the case, the local public security would not be able to investigate and interrogate him; if Xu Yan could not be detained and brought back for trial, where would they go to find conclusive evidence?

Deng Bonan sighed, "Yes, this is a contradiction—it's a pity!" he sighed, looking a little disappointed.

Yu Zhao couldn't understand why Deng Bonan sighed "It's a pity", but seeing the director's unhappy look, he hesitated and said: "According to normal procedures, when we encounter a case of a soldier committing a crime, we should hand it over to the security department of the army -- or should we hand over the case to the army and let the security department of the army continue to chase after it?"

Deng Bonan sneered, he said, "Lao Yu, don't you think the trouble tonight is enough?"

Now, what the criminal police have is only some circumstantial evidence, and there is no chain of evidence to prove that Xu Yan is the murderer. Xu Yan became the director of the intelligence agency in his early twenties, and there must be big people behind him. The so-called investigation is just a formality, and it will not hurt Xu Yan at all, and it will only make a mortal enmity with Xu Yan for no reason -- this is not the goal that Deng Bonan wants to achieve.

Deng Bonan pondered for a moment, and his expression turned serious: "Lao Yu, in this case, you might as well check other clues, and see what other possible suspects there are, don't just stare at Xu Yan - Xu Yan is the director of the Intelligence Department, even if he really committed the crime, even if you can really find his conclusive evidence, this is not what our local public security bureau has the right to investigate and deal with, and in the end we still have to hand it over to the capital." This pool of water in the intelligence agency is too deep, we can't afford to provoke it!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

That night, after sending Deng Bonan and the police away, Xu Yan also lost his sleepiness, he read various classics left by Zhu Youxiang at home, and read a lot of information, but he was never sure of the type of monster.

The thing that made Xu Yan most puzzled was that if there was really a monster lurking in the school, why couldn't he even feel the slightest demonic aura when he was patrolling the school? Could it be that the monster was so smart that it could shield the demonic energy it emitted? But is such a thing possible? It has not been recorded in the classics!

Xu Yan read hard at home, and saw that the sky was white, but he never found an explanation in the book.

At this time, Xu Yan deeply felt that after losing Zhu Youxiang, he really lost a lot - Xu Yan had a feeling that the things he was thinking about and worrying about were very simple and easy to solve in the Ming World. A lot of knowledge may be very accustomed to in the Ming Dynasty, even children understand it, but on the earth, no one pokes open this piece of paper, and they really have no way at all!

The sky has turned white, and a new morning has arrived.

Because of his successful cultivation, even if he stayed up all night, Xu Yan didn't feel so tired. He was about to get up for breakfast, when his mobile phone rang, and it showed a familiar number, which was Huang Xi's.

"Hey, Huang Xi, hello!"

Huang Xi's cheerful voice came from the microphone: "Director Xu, you came to call so early, didn't you disturb your rest?"

Infected by Huang Xi's joyful atmosphere, Xu Yan's mood also improved, and he smiled: "Of course not, I have been waiting for your call last night - have you arrived in Jincheng?"

"Well, we're here! ”

"Are you at the airport? I'll pick you up. ”

"Director Xu, this is not needed. The military region arranged for a car to pick us up into the city, and we are all in the car now, and we are about to leave for Shudu University. Director Xu, here, there are a few comrades with me, we want to meet with you and listen to your teachings and guidance, do you think it is convenient?"

Xu Yan estimated that Huang Xi should have someone around her, otherwise with the familiar relationship between everyone, there was no need for her to speak to her in such a serious manner.

Xu Yan said with a smile: "I meet with everyone to catch the wind, that's naturally the way it should be, I'm waiting here, it's just Huang Xi, you don't need to be so serious when you speak, right? ”

Xu Yan heard Huang Xi's laughter: "Friendship is friendship, but when it comes to work, we still have to be serious." Director Xu, let's meet and talk in detail! We will drive from the airport to Shudu University, and it will take about an hour, so you don't have to worry. I'll call you again when I'm nearby. ”

put down the phone, and Xu Yan got busy. He considered that today was an official meeting with the subordinates of the investigation team, and this was his first official appearance. It is likely that the subordinates are all dressed in military uniforms, and they go to see everyone in civilian clothes, which seems to be disrespectful?

Xu Yan took out his military uniform from under the cabinet in his bedroom -- Xu Yan hadn't even worn it once since Huang Xi gave him a military uniform last time! If it weren't for this time, this box of military uniforms would probably still be stuffed under the cabinet and moldy.

Xu Yan dragged out the box, picked out a regular winter dress, and then packed up ornaments such as collar flowers and epaulettes. He went to the mirror and took a look, and then nodded with satisfaction: It seems that the saying "people rely on clothes" is really not blown, Xu Yan is tall, with slender legs, and the uniform in the military uniform looks particularly flattering and heroic, the uniform is straight, handsome, and elegant and heroic-looking at himself in the mirror, Xu Yan feels very satisfied: even if it is used as stills for which crew to take the movie, that is enough.

The only flaw is that the hair seems to be a little longer, which doesn't seem to be very consistent with the grooming and etiquette of the soldiers, but the time is in a hurry, and Xu Yan has no choice but to forget it.

Putting on the military uniform for the first time, Xu Yan was excited in his heart, he hummed a song and whistled, leisurely sorted out his clothes, looked at his mobile phone, and only half an hour passed. Anyway, he couldn't sit still in the room, so Xu Yan simply didn't wait, he went out leisurely and went straight to the café across the street. Along the way, Xu Yan felt that along the way, the surrounding crowd still had a high rate of turning back to him, especially those young girls, who flashed at him all the way, which made Xu Yan's mood even better.
