Before receiving Li He's distress call, Li Jie had just walked out of the conference room of the city bureau.

On the night of December 23, the city bureau initially characterized the brawl at an entertainment venue as a public security case, especially the Ma deputy bureau, who was in charge of public security work. However, with the death and serious injury of people in the fight, it was obviously inappropriate to characterize it as a public security case, so the city bureau held an emergency meeting overnight and set up a special task force.

As the new deputy head of the Municipal Criminal Investigation Detachment and the main person in charge of criminal cases in the city, Li Jie was also transferred to the special case team. And in the task force, he has the lowest rank, the lowest position, and the youngest.

At the meeting on the night of the 23rd, the atmosphere was not very harmonious at the beginning.

When Li Jie walked into the conference room, he saw his old brother, Gu Wei'an, who was in charge of the overall work, talking to Deputy Bureau Ma with an unkind face. To be precise, Deputy Bureau Ma is talking, and Gu Wei'an is listening.

Deputy Bureau Ma is a fat man in his 50s, and he has a little bow on his head, and his good 95-style police uniform is a little incongruous no matter how he looks at it. Li Jie rarely dealt with bureau-level leaders in the past, that is, he had seen Deputy Director Ma a few times during the overall meeting, and when he saw Deputy Bureau Ma at close range, he couldn't help but add a label to Deputy Bureau Ma in his mind, this Deputy Bureau of Ma is a typical villain image, the type of fish and flesh people in the TV series, full of intestines and brains, and doing all kinds of bad things, when he speaks, his voice is still a little sharp, giving people the feeling that he is greasy and greasy, listening to his voice and looking at his person, how uncomfortable it is.

At this time, Deputy Bureau Ma looked relieved and said to Gu Wei'an: "Wei'an, although you are the leader, Brother Ma is a few years older than you, and everyone is much more kind to call you Wei'an." You are from a criminal investigation background, and you have strong criminal investigation business ability, and you are a famous detective in our bureau, which Brother Ma admires very much. But the criminal investigation business is much simpler than the public security business, so in this case, you treat it purely as a criminal case, which is not right. Although it is said that there are dead people, but in the final analysis, this is a gangster fight, the case is very simple, the clues are very clear, we only need to catch the murderer who killed him at the end, and the case can be closed. There is no need to set up a task force as complicated, once the task force is established, we have to report it layer by layer, a simple case, and finally be exhausted by various procedures. Vian, I don't think the gains outweigh the losses. ”

Gu Wei'an used to be a character who slapped the table when he didn't agree with him, but now he is the executive deputy director who presides over the work, and he is indeed under several deputy bureaus in terms of qualifications, and now he is too fast, and he doesn't want to give people a feeling of villain's ambition, so he can only listen to Deputy Director Ma finish his words in a very low-key and patient manner, and then patiently say: "Brother Ma is a veteran policeman, he has been doing it for decades, and of course he has a lot of experience." However, this case is not so simple, on the surface it seems that this is a group fight of gangsters, but since there is a dead person, whether in terms of procedure or impact, we cannot lightly deal with it as a public security case. The common people look at it, although many ordinary people don't know the truth, but the more this is the case, the more we have to make things clear, and we also give an explanation to the people. ”

At this time, Deputy Political Commissar Luo, who was about to retire, smiled strangely and said, "Gu Ju is very principled and thoughtful, which is right. This case cannot be handled with a public security case, and we must not confuse the public. ”

"What do you mean, Lao Luo?" Deputy Director Ma's face straightened, and he immediately stopped doing it, raised his shrill voice and said: "Who do you say are going to confuse the public? What are you confusing about? The cause and effect of this case is lice on the bald head, obviously. I tell you from my 40 years of experience as a police officer that the most important thing now is not to catch the murderer, but to prevent the bastards on both sides from seeking revenge against each other because of the dead. All police forces on the public security side have canceled their vacations, and the public security brigade and anti-riot brigade are all on standby. On the hospital side just now, if I hadn't sent someone to guard it, we would have been able to fight again. Speaking of influence, do you know how bad the impact will be if the two groups of people do it again? Lao Luo, you are engaged in political work, and in business matters, you had better not meddle casually. ”

Deputy Political Commissar Luo can't do anything else, but he is very good at arguing, Deputy Director Ma pulled his face, he also pulled his face, and said: "What do you do with me? I am a member of the police force, and I am interfering with a suggestion? Who is this police force?"

Li Jie listened to some bureau-level leaders scolding Huai like aunts in the vegetable market, but they didn't do anything to point out that the people they wanted to talk about were all dozens of years old, and Li Jie was also drunk when he looked at it. This case is not simple, these are all veteran policemen who have been working for decades, and who doesn't know it well? But everyone has to reason, and everyone has a reason, even if Ma Deputy Bureau says, there is no problem! The group beating and killing people is enough to cause an uproar, and if the two sides fight again, then the Faith City Bureau will really make a big deal. But Li Jie knew that Deputy Bureau Ma was trying hard to position the case as a public security case, and its starting point was not this, not only he knew, but everyone also knew it, but the matter could not be solved by knowing it.

This meeting lasted all night, and nothing was resolved, during which Li Jie wanted to talk to Gu Wei'an alone several times, but he never found a chance. But he was not idle, anyway, he didn't have the right to speak at the meeting, he went in and out a few times quietly while the leaders were fighting, and sent people in different directions, and outside the quarrelsome meeting, Li Jie had already received a lot of information.

Before becoming the deputy detachment, Gu Wei'an asked Li Jie to preside over the criminal investigation business of the detachment, and as a veteran policeman on the criminal investigation front, Li Jie has always had his own way of employing people. In short, Li Jie likes to use newcomers, and likes to use the kind of young people who have just graduated from the police academy and have not yet been contaminated with too much sophistication and sleek in the melting pot of society. These young people lack sufficient experience, but they are full of enthusiasm and maintain a certain amount of faith. Before officially becoming the deputy detachment, Li Jie got a few interns from the Provincial Police Academy through Wu Yanzhuo, and Ling Qingyan was also there at that time, so he used these interns, together with a few fresh blood who had just entered the detachment in the past two years, to run business on the spot, not only to exercise their abilities, but also to avoid them from premature contact with those old fritters in the team. Of course, the old fritters are also wanted, such as this case, just handing it over to the rookie is not enough, this case tests not only the ability to handle the case, but also the connections and experience.

The meeting of the bureau finally agreed to characterize the case as a serious criminal case and set up a special case team, headed by Gu Wei'an, deputy director in charge of overall work, to preside over the investigation of the case in an all-round way. However, at this time, it was already the morning of the 24th, and then the division of labor was implemented. On the side of Deputy Bureau Ma, he still insisted that the people in his hands could not be removed from their posts, and they had to increase their manpower to prevent the second large-scale brawl between the gangsters. Several other deputy bureaus also emphasized their difficulties, especially the difficulties in the distribution of police forces, which were really used for the investigation of this case, and finally fell on Li Jie's head. It is clear that Li Jie will lead the team and be responsible for the front-line detection work. But when building a team for Li Jie, Deputy Bureau Ma generously transferred more than a dozen backbones of the public security brigade to him, and several other deputy positions also expressed their contributions, and set up Li Jie's investigation team at once, belonging to different departments, with different police ranks, and even higher than Li Jie's position, and finally reached nearly 30 people.

Speaking of which, this also reflects the great importance that the bureau attaches to this case, but with so many people, even if everyone is serious about doing things, how to coordinate and unify them is enough for Li Jie.

But Li Jie didn't care about this investigation team at all, isn't there a police officer with a higher rank than him? Li Jie let this eldest brother preside over the overall situation, and he still sent people he trusted to quietly investigate.

On the 25th, the day Li He returned, the people sent by Li Jie, as well as the informants he had been secretly cultivating, had already provided a lot of information.

Long Jianhua will send people to guard Zhao Mo everywhere, and Li He will also use the investigation team to monitor the different exits of the entire city on the surface, and he is not only staring at the escape route, but also arranging police forces to search the city. It's just that the police in the city are insufficient, and the speed of the search is much slower. What's more, Long Jianhua thought of sending someone to find Zhao Jinzhu, and Li Jie was with this little girl because his son, how could he not send someone to wait near Zhao Jinzhu's house in advance?

Li Jie sent to squat near Zhao Jinzhu's house is a combination of old and new. The old one is an old brother who has followed him in the criminal police team for many years, and he can rest assured that he will hand over his back to the other party, his name is Chen Zhongyuan, 36 years old, he has been married once, divorced, he is usually very resentful, likes to drink, and often makes mistakes in his life style, but his business ability is not to be said. The captain of the Li Heti detachment talked to him a few times after that, and this old iron has been in a much better mood recently. The newcomer is a senior student of the Provincial Police Academy, who has graduated in half a year, and is kept by Li He in the name of internship, and his name is Yang Zheng.

Chen Zhongyuan has long been accustomed to squatting, and compared with the energetic Yang Zheng, he is much lazy. Li Jie gave them a van, which was covered with putty and a hole in the rear window, Chen Zhongyuan put the car in the alley outside Zhao Jinzhu's house, and he lay down in a nearby foot-washing city. It is said that it is a foot-washing city, but in fact, it is in a residential building, and the foot-washing is fake, but it is the work of Dark Chang.

Chen Zhongyuan has not been to these places in the past, and he is naturally familiar with the road, but as soon as he saw that Chen Zhongyuan was about to enter the foot washing city, Yang Zheng's face was very strange, and he pulled Chen Zhongyuan's sleeve and said, "Brother Chen, Team Li told us to squat." ”

Chen Zhongyuan glanced at the rookie ignorantly and said, "I'm going to squat." ”

Yang Zheng's face turned red, and he said anxiously: "Brother Chen!

Chen Zhongyuan snorted, and said stiffly: "I didn't ask you to follow, I squatted in the car by myself, and I didn't freeze to death in the middle of the night, I'll tell you what it means to squat!" After speaking, he ignored Yang Zheng and went directly into the small building that didn't look serious.

Yang Zheng was very angry, but there was no way, he could only go back to the van by himself, holding a pair of binoculars that Li Jie didn't know from which unit to eliminate and observe the direction of Zhao Jinzhu's house from time to time, the telescope was already in focus, and it didn't have night vision.

Yang Zheng has been conscientiously guarding until two o'clock in the morning, Chen Zhongyuan is not wrong, it is really cold in this car, and he does not dare to start up to turn on the air conditioner, the key is that it is useless to start, the heating of this car has long been broken. He was cold and sleepy and curled up in the car, and gradually he was a little confused. I don't know when he suddenly woke up again, remembering that he still had a task, and he didn't know what he missed when he was confused, when he was anxious, Chen Zhongyuan was full of alcohol, and his face was red and appeared outside the van, Yang Zheng just wanted to complain, and heard Chen Zhongyuan say: "Prepare for a fight, I hope what you learn in the police academy is really useful, don't worry, I won't help you, it's a martyr who is killed, but don't be disabled, no one cares." ”
