Chapter 137: Are We Friends or Enemies
When Li Yan hurried back home, his father Li Bingzhang was the only one in the family, and he was warmly entertaining Zhu Dongfeng. Li Bingzhang is old, retired at home, and doesn't like to go out very much, and he doesn't know much about and is interested in some rumors and stories in Jinzhou City, in his opinion, Zhu Dongfeng is a relatively wealthy friend of Li Yan, as for his identity and background, Li Bingzhang doesn't know anything, and he doesn't think so much.
"Huh? How did you come back so quickly? It's not been ten minutes since I hung up the phone, right? Li Bingzhang saw Li Yan standing at the door and said in surprise.
"It's been almost twenty minutes." Li Yan took off his hat and walked in, glanced at Zhu Dongfeng, who was sitting at the table, and asked Li Bingzhang, "Why are you alone?" Where's my mom? ”
Li Bingzhang said: "Your mother went to buy vegetables. ”
"Grocery shopping?" Li Yan was puzzled, it was only eight o'clock in the morning to go grocery shopping? Is it going to stay for Dongfeng to eat at home at noon?
Li Bingzhang said with a smile: "Oh, your mother thinks that you finally have a friend who comes to see you at home, why do you have to talk for a while, I want to buy some good food for Xiao Zhu to show a hand, she said that Xiao Zhu can't make Xiao Zhu feel that our family is not well entertained!" ”
"Little ......" Li Yan listened to his father's address to Zhu Dongfeng, and almost didn't bite his tongue. On the other hand, Zhu Dongfeng, who smiled lightly, didn't seem to have much feeling for others to call him like this.
However, Li Yan dared to pack the ticket, from Zhu Dongfeng to the ground to now thirty and four, in the past thirty years, he is probably the first time that the eldest girl has heard someone call him 'Xiao Zhu', although his expression is very calm, but his heart may not be so.
Li Yan scratched his eyebrows and said to Li Bingzhang: "Uh, dad, what, my mother went shopping for vegetables alone and didn't know when she would come back, you go and take a look." ”
Li Bingzhang is not a person without eyesight, as soon as he heard Li Yan say this, he knew that he was trying to talk to his friends alone, he nodded and got up: "I have to go and see, your mother is doing things slowly, and I really don't know how long it will take for her to buy the vegetables herself." Then you and Xiao Zhu sit down first, Xiao Zhu, you talk to Li Yan, I'm leaving. ”
Zhu Dongfeng nodded with a smile.
Li Bingzhang gave Li Yan a few glances and asked him to entertain others, Li Yan waved his hand silently, urging him to hurry up.
After Li Bingzhang went out, the first thing Li Yan said was: "Mr. Zhu, I'm sorry, my dad is old, and sometimes he doesn't speak in a measured way, I hope you don't mind too much." ”
"Don't mind." Zhu Dongfeng glanced at him with a smile, glanced at the opposite position, and said, "Sit." ”
This is the anti-customer-oriented.
Li Yan nodded, hung his hat on the hanger at the door and went to sit down, he saw that the tea bowl in front of Zhu Dongfeng was only a little bottom, so he picked up the teapot and added tea to him, and took another cup to himself.
"I don't know what happened to Mr. Zhu this time?" He asked.
Zhu Dongfeng smiled, "Can't Mr. Li guess?" ”
Li Yan said I can't guess.
"At this juncture, I went to Mr. Li's house to have tea with Mr. Li, so if you can't guess what's going on, then there's no need for us to talk about it."
Li Yan raised his eyes to look at him, wishing Dongfeng a smile, a typical smiling tiger.
"Something to do with Mr. Zhu?" He asked in a low voice.
Zhu Dongfeng raised his eyebrows: "What?" ”
"Xie Wenbin and Fang Rui, did Mr. Zhu do it?"
Zhu Dongfeng didn't admit it, nor did he say it explicitly, he picked up the tea bowl and blew the foam on the tea noodles, and asked, "How is the situation of the two of them now?" ”
"I was about to go to the hospital to have a look, when I received a call from Mr. Zhu." It means that today the two of them are good or bad, and Li Yan doesn't know, "But they have woken up one after another yesterday afternoon, but their consciousness was still relatively vague at that time." ”
"How's the mood of the two of them?" Zhu Dongfeng has not paid attention to this matter since he left the suburban bungalow, and he has no desire to send someone to inquire about the situation, which shows that this matter is really nothing in his mind.
Li Yan said that the emotions of the Xie and Fang families were very intense, especially after learning that their son had become a waste, and their grief and anger almost smashed the hospital.
Zhu Dongfeng nodded, this is a normal thing.
Li Yan glanced at him, thought about it, and took the initiative to say: "Yesterday, Director Liang of the Police Department also went to the hospital, he is Fang Rui's own uncle. ”
"I know." Fang Rui howled at least dozens of times when he was 'tortured'.
Zhu Dongfeng looked at Li Yan with a smile: "He asked you to investigate this matter strictly?" ”
Li Yan nodded.
"And what clues did you find?"
"I went to the site and didn't get anything." Li Yan really didn't understand what Zhu Dongfeng wanted to tell him, did he not want him to check, or did he have another purpose?
Zhu Dongfeng asked: "No harvest at all?" ”
Li Yan said: "There is something else to gain. ”
"Isn't it exciting?" Zhu Dongfeng looked at his expression with a smile.
Li Yan frowned, he really couldn't say the word 'wonderful' against his will. He felt disgusting, lewd, and immoral. But everyone has their own habits, which he does not agree with, and he cannot evaluate them at will.
Zhu Dongfeng took out two photos and pushed them under his eyes with the back side up, and he didn't speak, just looked at Li Yan quietly.
Li Yan looked at him for a moment, picked up the photo and looked at it, sure enough, it was the two that Xie Wenbin and Fang Rui were printed in the newspaper this morning.
It's just that the newspaper only prints the navel upwards, and the two photos that Zhu Dongfeng took out were complete from head to toe.
Li Yan flipped the photo over again, wordlessly raised his eyes to look at Zhu Dongfeng, and after a while, he said, "Mr. Zhu, I am now the chief arrester of the patrol room." ”
"That's why I'm here to discuss this with you." I wish Dongfeng can say the word 'consultation', which really gives Li Yan enough face.
"Mr. Zhu, aren't you afraid that I won't cooperate?"
Zhu Dongfeng smiled and said that only those who know the times can be Junjie, and Mr. Li can be the chief catcher because he knows the current affairs enough.
What he said was very straightforward, and Li Yan also knew that he could become the chief arrester of Jinzhou and his help was inseparable, and he had already been ordered when he went to visit him at the house of the former chief arrester Liao Guobang. He was very surprised at the time, and really thought that his ability had been appreciated, but it turned out that in the end, he could get so many strong recommendations, all because Zhu Dongfeng wanted him to be the chief catcher of Jinzhou.
It is false to say that he is not disappointed, and it is true to say that he was full of blood and was suddenly doused with a basin of cold water.
Li Yan wouldn't think that Zhu Dongfeng had spent a lot of effort to secretly help him to the throne without other intentions, and now it was about time for him to 'repay the favor'.
Although before this, Li Yan never thought that he could become the chief catcher of Jinzhou.
He lowered his eyes and pondered for a moment, and asked, "What does Mr. Zhu think, you might as well say it directly." ”
"It's very simple, I want them to not be able to gain a foothold in Jinzhou City."
"It's not up to me to have the final say."
Zhu Dongfeng nodded and said, "I have the final say." ”
“…… So what do you need me to do? ”
"I need you to dig up everything they've ever done, and don't miss a single thing."
Li Yan frowned, "Mr. Zhu refers to ......"
"Aren't all the things in your hands? You don't need me to remind you anymore, do you? "That bungalow, that room, all of them are stories, as long as Li Yan can dig hard, the content must be quite rich.
Li Yan understood what Zhu Dongfeng meant, "Then Xie Wenbin and Fang Rui...... How can I give an explanation to Lord Liang? ”
Zhu Dongfeng didn't care, and said indifferently: "Liang Yonghe doesn't have to worry about you, he will never mention this matter the next time you meet again." Even Xie Wenbin and Fang Rui will be tight-lipped. ”
That's good, save Li Yan from being caught in the middle and be a difficult person.
However, there is another question, Zhu Dongfeng asked Li Yan to investigate carefully, "Then what if Lord Liang does not allow me to investigate carefully?" "After all, it's about his own nephew.
"So let's make this bigger, the bigger the better." 918
Li Yan was puzzled: "What's the trouble?" ”
Zhu Dongfeng smiled lightly, and said after a while: "Soon you will know." ”
Things are almost talked, Zhu Dongfeng glanced at his watch, he should also go. He picked up the tea bowl and drank two sips, saw Li Yan thoughtfully, paused, and said with a smile: "You adapt quickly, I didn't see the wrong person." ”
Even if Li Yan was not a representative of uprightness, if someone asked him to join the stream, he would definitely strongly refuse; However, now that he has only been in office for less than half a month, he no longer has the impulse of a hairy boy when facing people who have obviously committed crimes, so it can be seen that he has learned a lot in the past half a month.
Li Yan did learn a lot, and the two hours that Liao Guobang chatted with him alone benefited him a lot.
"The boss told me that if I want to sit firmly in this chair, I must remember one thing: there are no permanent friends and no permanent enemies in the world. I've always kept it in mind. ”
Zhu Dongfeng asked: "Then in Mr. Li's opinion, are we friends or enemies now?" ”
"Then it depends on what Mr. Zhu means." Li Yan's answer can't be said to be bad. He knew that he was nothing in front of Zhu Dongfeng, so whether he was friend or foe, he had no choice at all.
Zhu Dongfeng stared at him and pulled the corners of his mouth, didn't say anything more, he brushed his sleeves and got up, "It's not too early, I'll leave first." ”
"Mr. Zhu, can I ask one more question? Why did Mr. Zhu do this? "What did Xie Wenbin and Fang Rui do to anger Zhu Dongfeng and make them pay such a price?
Zhu Dongfeng looked at him, "No why." If you want to do it, you can do it. "Arrogant and wanton.
“…… I wish Mr. Slow Walking. "Li Yan didn't obey his parents' wishes to let him eat, how could a person like him deign?
Not long after Zhu Dongfeng left, Li Bingzhang and his wife came back with a vegetable basket, and when they heard that Zhu Dongfeng was gone, they were so angry that the couple reprimanded Li Yan for not knowing etiquette.
Li Yan said helplessly: "People have something to do, they are very busy!" ”
"No matter how busy you are, you have to eat! It's almost time to eat! Li Bingzhang glared at him.
Li Yan couldn't explain to him, and the old man had to think more after explaining more, so he simply changed the topic: "What's that?" He noticed a rectangular box on the offering table, inconspicuous.
Li Bingzhang handed it to him, "Your friend brought it and said it was to congratulate you on your ascension." ”
Zhu Dongfeng brought it?
Li Yan took it, and when he got it, he felt a sink, and when he opened it, he saw that there were six gold bricks neatly stacked inside.
"Ho-" Li Bingzhang was startled, and instantly gasped, "This, this ......"
Li Yan silently picked up a piece and opened the outer layer of glittering gold foil, revealing the entity inside, which was a tea brick.
Li Bingzhang's mood was like swinging, he sat down and said, "I'm old, but I can't stand this stimulation." It's good to have tea. ”
Li Yan wrapped the tea bricks and put them back, saying that it was no cheaper than gold.
Li Bingzhang's eyes widened when he heard that, "Really? ”
"Fake." Li Yan pondered that it was better not to let the old man feel a burden in his heart, so he stuffed the box into his arms and said casually, "Take it and drink it." I'm busy. ”
"No, you're leaving? Skipping a meal? ”
"I'm busy, how can I have time to eat! Tell my mom. Li Yan took his hat and left, leaving his old father alone with the box and didn't know what to do.
Li Yan did not go to the hospital again, but went back to the patrol room.
The phone in the patrol room still rang, but it was much better than when he left. At about three o'clock in the afternoon, a girl walked into the patrol room and asked for Li Yan by name.
Li Yan asked her what her name was.
She said: "My name is Jiang Fangfang, and I want to report the case. ”
After Jiang Fangfang appeared, six more girls walked into the patrol room one after another, each of whom named Li Yan and said that they wanted to report the case, and their accusations were Xie Wenbin and Fang Rui, and even the faces of several girls Li Yan was still very familiar with and had seen them in photos.
They accused Xie Wenbin and Fang Rui of violating them while they were drunk, forcibly imprisoning them, feeding them medicine, treating them like animals, and subjecting them to inhuman torture. The shortest week and the longest three months of imprisonment among them were in Xie Wenbin's single-family bungalow. Fang Rui also had a house dedicated to educating women, and after Li Yan got the exact information, he ordered someone to look for it, and found it in less than an hour, and there was a woman in the house who was locked naked in a cage.
After collecting the testimony, Li Yan thought that this was what Zhu Dongfeng said about making things as big as possible, but the next day he found that what he thought was still too simple, these girls who came to report the case were just the tip of the iceberg, and more people who were victims under Xie Wenbin and Fang Rui chose to contact reporters to expose the crime in a way that did not need to show their heads.
This incident set off an uproar together, and people in Zhongshan Hospital tried their best to get in every day, and on two occasions, if it wasn't for the timely discovery of the nurses on ward rounds, I am afraid that Xie Wenbin and Fang Rui would have been suffocated to death.
From the anger at the beginning to the panic now, the Xie and Fang families stayed in the hospital every day, and Li Yan also sent more manpower, which can be regarded as improving.
Fang Rui questioned Li Yan: "How did things come to be like this?" Obviously my son is the victim! How do you do things? ”
Her fingers were about to point to Li Yan's nose, and Li Yan said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Mrs. Fang, no one expected that things would develop to this point. But as for whether your son is a victim or not, it remains to be decided. ”
"What do you mean? What do you mean? Fang Rui pinched his waist, "You mean that what those women said is true, right?" I'm telling you, my son hasn't done anything like that! Don't slander him! ”
Li Yan said: "Mrs. Fang, I will find out whether the matter is true or not. Now I'm going to go in and ask Young Master Fang a few words, do you see if you can avoid it? ”
Fang Rui said angrily: "I also want to avoid it? ”
"It's the rule."
Fang Rui gritted his teeth and waved his hand to follow him. If it weren't for Liang Yonghe's advice, she would never give up.
"Thank you for your cooperation." Li Yan nodded and walked into the ward.
Fang Rui is much better now, there is still a third of the bandages on his body, except that he can't excrete on his own, he looks no different from the appearance of a normal person. But only by appearance.
Fang Rui glanced at Li Yan and then moved his gaze away, probably because of his physical and mental frustration, his eyes were gloomy and indifferent now, as if he would kill someone at any time.
Li Yan asked him a lot of questions, but he ignored them. Unlike Xie Wenbin, Xie Wenbin is constantly denying that he doesn't know that woman, he hasn't done that kind of thing, he is innocent. Even if many facts were laid out in front of him, he would not admit it.
But there is one thing they agree on, that is, they don't say who is responsible for themselves.
Even the people of the Xie and Fang families had no intention of pursuing it again, and they didn't ask Li Yan how he was doing once. As if ready to shatter teeth and swallow blood.
And Liang Yonghe didn't let Li Yan investigate the matter to the end, and now that the situation is so unfavorable to his nephew, he didn't come forward to say anything again.
Li Yan didn't know what means Zhu Dongfeng used to make them so silent, but he took himself out so easily, he had to make Li Yan sigh at the power of power.
"You really don't have anything to say?" Li Yan finally asked Fang Rui again. If he didn't speak, Li Yan wouldn't continue to waste time, anyway, he would just come to take a formality.
"Yes." Fang Rui opened his mouth and asked with a sneer, "How much benefit did you receive from him?" ”
Li Yan was already about to take notes, and when he heard this, he closed the notebook again, "Who?" ”
"Don't play dumb with me." Fang Rui ruthlessly exposed him, "I don't say his name not because I'm afraid, but because I don't want to say it." ”
"Why should I play stupid? If you don't say names, how can I know who's being said? ”
Fang Rui sneered.
Li Yan ignored him and asked again, "Is there anything else you want to say?" ”
"Nope. What they say is true. Fang Rui hooked the corners of his mouth and smiled hideously and terrifyingly, "If you have the ability, you will arrest me and put me in prison?" ”
"If I had the chance, I would." Li Yan wrote down what he said in his notebook, then turned around and walked out of the ward.
He wanted to say a few more words to Fang Rui's mother, but they didn't bother to pay attention to him at all, so he snorted and went in.
Seeing this, Li Yan simply left.
When he got out of the hospital, he saw a figure and subconsciously shouted, "White lotus? ”
