Chapter 106: The Infiltrated Police Station
"Trust?" Lin was confused. He didn't even understand what the old detective's purpose was. If he had only been ordered by the Ruan Bureau to arrest himself, it would have been simpler.
But Lin realized that things were complicated. At least his current situation is that one foot has stepped into the quagmire.
"That's all I can say, Mr. Lin, you can ask questions, and I will do my best to provide you with the information I have gotten." The old criminal policeman did not force Lin to do it, he said. "As long as I can answer."
"Your purpose?" Lin Yinzhi was unceremonious, and seized the opportunity to start questioning.
"Generally speaking, let's ensure social stability and peace." The old detective said calmly. "Don't worry, Mr. Lin, we have a whole night."
"It's like saying nothing." Lin Yinzhi shook his head. "So sheriff, I would like to ask, what are your actions now?"
The old criminal policeman put on a look that he knew that you would ask this, hesitated for a moment, and after sorting out the information at hand, he took out one and laid it out in front of Lin Yinzhi.
"Ha Long Town?" Lin was not surprised.
"Looks like you've got an idea." The old detective nodded. "I can't say much right now, but what I can tell you is that I personally don't think the next action is justice."
The old detective's words made Lin Yinzhi a little surprised.
"So, do you have any opinion on Director Ruan?" Lin continued to ask.
"You can't say that." The old detective squinted, and it seemed that he was very cautious about this topic, for fear of losing his words. "It can only be said that there is a conflict between the two of us, and it is not an opinion."
Lin Yinzhi nodded, but he didn't think that this answer represented the true opinion of the old criminal policeman, it seemed that the undercurrent inside the bureau was about to collide with the torrent and gush out of the pool.
"Sergeant, then I would like to ask, since you already have the purpose and plan of the operation, can I understand that you have identified the enemy?"
The old detective nodded.
"Then in that case, why don't you make a move or arrest when you are standing in front of me now, is it because you want to use me to help you solve this case, or because you have obtained reliable evidence that I am not an enemy?"
The old criminal policeman was choked by Lin Yinzhi's question, and it was difficult to answer for a while. He didn't expect that Lin Yinzhi would ask in this way, no matter how he answered, he couldn't get around the case in Xialong Town.
Seeing that the old criminal policeman was still silent, Lin Yinzhi knew that his problem had gradually approached the core, even if the old criminal policeman did not answer anything, Lin Yinzhi himself had gained.
But he knew that in the current situation, if the old criminal police really stood on another side and wanted to make a clear distinction with Director Ruan, he had to make a statement tonight.
"As a result, I asked you three questions, and you couldn't answer any of them." Lin Yinzhi sighed and shook his head.
"Doesn't look like there's much to talk about." Lin Yinzhi spread his hands, stood up, and made a gesture to leave.
"Don't worry." The old detective's face was also a little unbearable, and he stopped Lin Yinzhi. "Mr. Lin, if I said that because you don't look like a bad person, I believe you, would you believe it?"
Listening to the old detective's answer, Lin Yinzhi smiled helplessly and returned to his seat.
"Let's talk about it." Lin Yinzhi said.
"First, I don't have any evidence on hand." The old detective said frankly. "It could even be said that
There is no evidence at all, but that is a reason in itself. That's the evidence that proves that you, Lin Yinzhi, are problematic, and I don't have any here. ”
"I don't know if you're hiding deep enough, or if my old man isn't as good as he used to be. Anyway, since there is no evidence, I have decided to trust you. The old detective came to a conclusion with his own words.
"It's hard to say, old officer, I'm just a private detective, neither a detective hired by your police department, nor a person who worries about the country and the people, just a detective who eats a lot of food." Lin Yinzhi said mockingly.
Although Lin Yinzhi's words sounded like he was refuting himself, the old criminal policeman was not angry, but also appreciative.
"Personally, I don't believe a detective like you would go against us police." The old criminal policeman was ready to give Lin Yinzhi a step down.
"It depends on what the police do." Lin Yinzhi didn't pay attention to this step at all. "After all, I have to look out for the interests of my employer, and myself, hehe, sorry, sheriff, unlike what you think, I'm not that superstitious about authority."
"Oh, authority." The old detective repeated in a low voice,
"In your opinion, maybe it's just work. But to us, you are a symbol. Lin Yinzhi replied.
"Oh, the symbol." The old detective was a little self-deprecating, he didn't think his actions could give so much meaning.
"I don't think so." He said. "It's not jealous and hateful, but when it comes to business, after all, I've been an old man for so many years, and I don't think I'm an authority."
"And Mr. Lin." The old criminal policeman looked at Lin Yinzhi and said, "It's time to get off work now, and I came to you in the middle of the night, not just to ask you to catch up and chat." ”
Lin Yinzhi couldn't cry or laugh. Between him and this old criminal policeman, he can't even count as a "one-sided relationship", so how can he talk about the past?
"So isn't this an interrogation?"
"It's up to you." The old detective didn't refute this time. "You know, no matter how old-fashioned the policeman is, it's very hard not to go home after work, I showed the necessary sincerity, Mr. Lin, I hope you don't let me down."
"That's right." Lin Yinzhi smiled bitterly and asked, "Then what do you want me to do?" ”
"Oh, let's get down to business." The old detective raised an eyebrow. "I understand your appeal, Mr. Lin, I don't want to worship an authority like us, and I want the truth."
"I didn't say that." Lin Yinzhi muttered quietly, but he was not disgusted by the old detective's summary of him.
The old criminal policeman didn't pay attention to Lin Yinzhi's complaints, and continued to speak.
"All I need is your rebellion." The old detective said bluntly. "My gut tells me that at least there is a problem in the city bureau, there is a problem with the structure of the police station."
The old criminal policeman directly threw the conclusion to Lin Yinzhi, even though he had a premonition, but he didn't expect this old criminal policeman with a good status to be so straightforward and put the facts to the point.
"Is this your speculation, or the conclusion of your investigation?" Lin Yinzhi put away his previous playful attitude. Obviously, he Lin Yinzhi has no choice, from the day he took over the thorough investigation of this case, the vortex of the vortex has eaten away at his ** and nerves little by little, and now, he can no longer resist his desire to learn the truth.
"Half and half." The old detective's face also became serious and cold. "Later, I'll talk casually, whether it's some evidence collected, or what kind of content you have posted after reading it, you don't have to tell me, and you don't have to ask why."
"I'm just talking to you casually, only tonight. Tomorrow at noon, there will be some action in the bureau, and after that, the two of us may or may not meet again, you don't have to worry about that. ”
Listening to the life of the old criminal policeman, Lin Yinzhi swallowed his saliva, and cold sweat broke out.
"No matter what happens, tonight's incident, you just take it as a casual talk, and it doesn't matter when you want to stay out of it, after all, I'm old, I can understand." The old detective said.
"But to know the truth, sometimes you have to pay a price. There's no way around it, it's such a dangerous job you've done, and I've told you again and again. One last confirmation, Mr. Lin, do you really want to know. ”
Lin Yinzhi raised his head and looked at the face of the old criminal policeman, the light hit his back, and a huge black figure folded out from behind him and landed in the corner, and a buzzing sound sounded in Lin Yinzhi's ears.
A stuffy damp heat crept up along Lin Yinzhi's body, and he felt uncomfortable.
"Do I still have the right to refuse?" After a while, Lin Yinzhi still couldn't forget such a witty remark and said.
Syllable.
The old detective was smiling, his teeth were as sharp as a blade, he took out a file paper, and it fell in front of Lin Yinzhi, and the entire desk began to vibrate.
Lin Yinzhi rubbed his eyes, the file paper looked very old, the margins showed creases, there were traces of blisters on the yellowed paper, the information was all in English, the light gray head was blurred, vaguely outlining an outline, and the words on the file had been smeared.
Lin Yinzhi carefully pinched the file paper and gently rubbed the paper.
"This was transferred from the archives of the mercenary department. With some means, this old system of archives is very inconvenient to consult, and now most places use digital archiving. But there is also an upside, there are sometimes so many copies of this kind of archival paper that they can't even organize their own systems. ”
The old detective seemed to be very proud, and he scratched his nose.
"Archival material like this is clearly abandoned. It's just that for some unknown reason, it was not destroyed. ”
"Because it's soaked." Lin Yinzhi said, he looked at the file, his eyes were a little glazed. "The safest way to destroy it, even shredded paper files, may still not be completely assured, and it may not be bad to burn them. But unfortunately. ”
Lin Yinzhi held up the file paper.
"I don't know if it was providence or someone did it on purpose, I'm afraid this file was soaked in water before it was burned."
The old detective nodded, a relieved smile on his face.
"I was right."
The name of the file is not familiar to the two men, and the faintly visible code names are written in the shape of a "bee" with a pen instead of printed characters. But the outline of the photo, the old criminal policeman has a bite to say.
"This person is Director Ruan." He said. "The police station has been infiltrated."
Lin Yinzhi looked at the file in his hand again, the outlines of the heads of the two people overlapped, perhaps as the old criminal policeman said, the identities of these two people gradually coincided. But he felt empty and panicked in his heart.
Why did this information easily fall into the hands of this criminal policeman, although it is not enough as sufficient evidence, but at this time, the former mercenary who was so tense with the local government is also the predecessor of the organization that everyone is familiar with at the moment, how did Director Ruan, who is inextricably linked to this, come to power?
Lin Yinzhi felt strange, and he asked one last question.
"Do you know Santa Prison?"
