Thirty-six. Special collaborations
May 9, 7 a.m
I walked up the stairs with heavy steps, the first floor, the second floor, the third floor. Arrived at the conference room, which was set up for huge meetings.
This is my first meeting in this room. This is only used when receiving colleagues from other units. The last time I remember using it was a meeting between the director and the mayor, so naturally I couldn't attend this kind of meeting.
Turning the hallway on the third floor, the Director stood at the door of the conference room. I took a few big strides to follow.
"Wang Wei, you go to the house and familiarize yourself with the information of the case." The captain patted me on the shoulder.
I hummed and went in, this room is not your average large. There were roughly thirty chairs, arranged in an orderly circle around the solid wood table. This is the conference room, I muttered to myself.
When I was about to pick a seat, I noticed that there were name tags on each table that corresponded to the attendees. Director Lei naturally sat in the innermost position, and I was a little shameless to look for it from the inside out, but my position was on the very edge. I sat down a little unhappily. I looked at the name tag next to me, and it read "Liu Xiaoyu" in black letters on a red background. He's still higher than me, and I'm a little unconvinced.
I had forgotten the task given to me by the captain, and looked at the name tags on the other side that I didn't recognize. I looked outside, and the third-to-last name plate had three words written on it. "Murong Yang". An ominous premonition flashed through my mind, but just as I was about to continue thinking, everyone entered the room.
Greeted politely, and everyone sat down. I stared at Murong Yang, my old friend, he sat on the chair with a sad face. My eyes were always on his face, and he never looked at me.
The beginning of the meeting was a rough idea of how I would introduce the case. I tried to organize the language, but fortunately the case was not too complicated, and I said that it would be over in about ten minutes, although there were some places in the process that were not very good, but it did not affect the overall situation.
"Very good, this case has been almost expressed, and you can also send someone to talk about the case."
I began to feel restless, and I drank several sips of the mineral water that was placed in front of me in a row. By the time I calmed down, Murong Yang had already stood up.
"I'm going to introduce the cat murder case that happened last month, and this case must have been heard of by all my colleagues in the criminal team. After my long investigation, I locked the suspects in that case on Yang Qingyun and Su Hexuan, who were not complete and rigorous at the time, and now that Yang Qingyun is dead, I think this case must have a certain connection with the homicide case. Murong Yang didn't follow the script, he put down the manuscript in his hand and talked eloquently.
I didn't dare to stare into his eyes, I didn't want Hexuan to get involved in this case.
"My colleague is Xiao Wu, who is sitting at the far end, and was entrusted by your police officer Wang Wei to investigate the mysterious person he mentioned in his narrative a few days ago. I'm putting his picture out now. After speaking, Murong Yang took out the notebook he was carrying, "I'm sorry, this mysterious person was only found last night, so it can't be played on a projector." He quickly clicked left and right, and after about a dozen seconds, he turned the computer around.
I saw a man in a tracksuit walking in the direction of the school. "This is the surveillance video at the entrance of a high-end hotel near the school, and this man in sportswear is, me!"
There was an uproar in the conference room, and Liu Xiaoyu turned his head to look at me incredulously. I had no idea what kind of expression to use to respond to him.
"I thought that in order to investigate clearly, we had to go deep into their lives, so I joined the morning exercise team, because as far as I know, these morning exercise people also have a good relationship with stray cats and dogs, but like I said before. Investigation to investigate, there is nothing suspicious about these people, oh yes, maybe there is a leak, after all, I didn't meet him named Bian Ming. I've heard other morning exercise buddies mention him before, saying that he hasn't been here lately for some unknown reason. I can't find the reason yet, but I finally figured it out after hearing what I just said. Murong Yang picked up the manuscript on the table again. Because these two vicious cases have seriously endangered the personal safety of the public and formed a panic, I suggest that in these two cases, the criminal and civil work together to share information and evidence, but the right to investigate is still enjoyed by each other. With that, he sat down and did not look at me the whole time.
"What objections do you have?" said Director Lei, looking at us.
What can we say, I saw that the rest of the criminal team agreed, including the captain. Even if I voted against it, it didn't help, and I nodded in support.
"Okay, you will go to exchange in a while, and I wish you a happy cooperation." After saying that, Director Lei got up and left the conference room.
I sat there in a daze, thinking about what was the purpose of my non-cooperation, and I kept telling myself in my heart that the reason was simple, the two cases were not related and there was no need to investigate them together. But I know what I really think, that kid can't be involved. No, absolutely not......
I felt my body being shaken by someone.
"Let's go, let's have an in-depth conversation with them." I raised my head, and Liu Xiaoyu looked at me suspiciously.
I staggered to my feet, the captain leaning against the doorway.
"Let's go, if you have any questions, you can tell me alone later."
After the captain finished speaking, he turned around and left, and Xiao Yu and I followed. I didn't go to the in-depth exchange mission, they were going to have another meeting in a public office, and I didn't want to participate in the morning meeting. In the end, I was replaced by Cao Yang, the deputy team.
The three of us sat in their respective positions and waited for the return of the deputy Cao Yang, Xiao Yu kept drinking coffee anxiously, and the captain was very calm, sitting there looking at the information as usual. And I sat in my place fidgeting, I didn't know what I could do, scared enough to describe how I was feeling right now.
After about an hour, Cao Yang pushed the door in, Cao Yang held glasses in his hand, his face was red, and he kept cursing dirty words in his mouth. We didn't dare to ask him lightly, and he didn't speak until he was in a better mood.
"These people, I think the exchange is just to know each other's case, I even showed them the photos of the scene, these people are still not satisfied, I have to ask what is the direction of our current action?" Cao Yang still said a little angrily.
"You told them?" Xiao Yu asked.
"How is it possible, this is our power, how can we tell them, I will leave one sentence, if you can't accept the current situation, we can't cooperate. I don't understand, what do these people want to know? After Cao Yang finished speaking, he slowly put on his glasses.
My heart is much more steady, fortunately it is Cao Yang, don't look at his usual politeness, he is not ambiguous when encountering this kind of infringement of our interests. If it's Xiao Yu, I think he's so bold that he will be scared to say everything, and I'm not sure if he can say it all, but I think he won't even show them the most basic evidence photos when he goes there, which also deviates from the original intention of cooperation.
"This afternoon, Cao Yang, you continue to follow up on the evidence clues of this case, Xiao Yu, you go and talk about the fraud case that happened yesterday, you don't care about this case for the time being, Wang Wei, you come out with me, I will talk to you in advance." The captain picked up the coat beside him and said.
I walked out after the captain.
