It was a case summary meeting that made David angry.

The director of the municipal bureau attended in person.

As a follow-up reporter, I participated in the audit.

The venue was filled with smoke, and the meeting began with David reporting on the investigation of the case and arresting five suspects, but the main suspect "Third Brother" escaped. When David recounted the arrest and sudden interrogation of Wang Wei, the city chief tapped his finger on the edge of the table and couldn't wait to interrupt David's speech.

The city chief's expression was very serious, without a hint of a smile.

He first praised the Nanhua District Public Security Bureau's achievements in cracking the case. Suddenly, he frowned, and his words changed: "Comrade David, how can you arbitrarily decide to let the suspect make a call?" Isn't that a scareless snake? Isn't this a deliberate attempt to ventilate people? As an old criminal policeman, how can you, as the leader of the task force, make such a common-sense mistake?

David looked at the city chief with some confusion, he didn't expect that the city chief would suddenly attack him at such a meeting.

However, the city director did not receive his attention, and the city director continued to talk about the consequences of the case being unable to be closed, saying: "The leaders of the municipal party committee attach great importance to this case and have asked questions several times. If this main culprit can't be caught, our Island City Public Security Bureau will not be able to explain to the leaders of the Municipal Party Committee and the people of Island City! ”

David understood in his heart that the leader of the municipal party committee mentioned by the city director was the secretary of the municipal legal committee, and he was the sworn enemy of the old leader.

The city chief took a sip of tea, cleared his throat, and continued: "How did this main culprit escape? Where is he hiding? He has been doing evil in Nanhua for many years, does he have a protective umbrella behind him? …… It seems that Comrade David should have given a written explanation to the bureau. ”

Written explanation? What to explain? Explain the umbrella?

David didn't expect the city chief's case summary speech to be like this.

The city chief's words pierced David's spine like a needle, and he only felt a piercing pain. He only felt a stream of cold wind whistling towards him from the eyes of the city chief, making him shiver a few times. This is a leader he has not encountered in more than 20 years as a police officer, summing up the facts of the case without logic and irresponsible, and talking nonsense. He stood up abruptly and said categorically: "As the direct commander of this case, I know that I bear unshirkable responsibility for dereliction of duty. However, I also ask for an investigation, and if it is found that I have other problems, I am willing to accept the punishment of party discipline and state law! ”

The city chief glared at him and said, "Comrade David, what is your attitude?" This is the collective opinion of the city bureau. ”

"I accept any kind criticism, however, I can't accept malicious wrongdoing!"

"Is this maliciously wronged?" The city chief knocked on the table.

There was silence in the conference room, and even a needle could be heard dropping on the floor.

"I take responsibility and request - resign from the post of director of the Nanhua District Public Security Bureau!" David's eyes were like torches, and every word was loud.

The audience was in an uproar.

David put away the notebook on the table, stuffed it into his briefcase, picked it up, and walked out of the conference room.

I quickly slipped out of the conference room.

David walked out of the city office building and walked towards the parking lot.

I caught up with him, and he looked at me and asked, "Why did you come out too?" ”

I smiled and said, "You're going to resign, I'm still going to stay inside and interview Mao!" ”

He smiled bitterly and said, "Grandma, I still feel a chill in my back."

I smiled and comforted him: "Zheng Jing down, Zheng Jing Xiao Xiao." ”

"They treated me like this, in fact, they were aimed at the old leader." David muttered to himself as he pulled open the car door.

I nodded and said, "The contradiction between the former director of the Daocheng Public Security Bureau and the secretary of the Municipal Legal Committee has long been an open secret in the officialdom of Daocheng. ”

David drove me back to the Society. As he drove the car, he told me about the past.

Ten years ago, the island city was developed, and everything was in a state of disorder and chaos.

When the old leader was ordered to be transferred to the Island City Public Security Bureau, he named David to bring the backbone of the criminal police. David is also the age when he wants to do a career, so he said goodbye to his wife and children and followed the old leader to the island city thousands of miles away. The old leader served as the director of the Island City Public Security Bureau, and David served as the captain of the criminal police team of the City Bureau.

At that time, Nanhua District was one of the worst districts in the island city. There are many urban villages in the area, there are complex outsiders, pornography, gambling, drugs and black crime are the hardest hit areas, and even the police have become the umbrella of the underworld. There is a street in Nanhua District, located between the island city and the neighboring county. The security of this street is under the jurisdiction of the island city on the one hand, and the neighboring county on the other. The shops on both sides of the street are mainly hair salons. These hair salons, ostensibly with haircuts and massages, are actually engaged in prostitution. Therefore, this street is known as "Zhongying Street" and is notorious. Because of the huge yellow, gray, and black interests hidden in this street, everyone knows that as long as they can get involved with this street, they can profit from it. So, on the surface, both sides are in charge; Actually, neither side cares. When night falls, the streets are lit with neon, glittering, drunkenness, and the stench of spoiled rouge perfume wafting in the wind.

The municipal party committee demanded that the bad environment in Nanhua District be rectified as soon as possible.

When he first arrived, the old director didn't know who to let attack this stronghold. After thinking about it, the old director decided to use his old subordinate David, who knew the roots, and transferred David from the criminal police brigade to the director of the Nanhua District Public Security Bureau, and made every effort to rectify the public security environment in the jurisdiction. On the day David took office, the old leader looked at him with ardent expectations and said, "I risk being suspicious of others and letting your kid gnaw on this hard bone - do you know my mind?" ”

David nodded. He certainly understood that he was in a time of danger.

"If you don't change the bad environment of law and order in Nanhua District, I can only ask you."

David straightened his chest and replied, "Live up to your expectations and promise to complete the task!" ”

Once David took office, he went to great lengths. First of all, he began to eliminate pornography and crime in the jurisdiction, and in one fell swoop eliminated the pornography, gambling and drug dens in "Zhongying Street", and then began internal rectification, and never tolerated the cadres and policemen who committed serious mistakes such as protective umbrellas in the jurisdiction. David made a lot of use in Nanhua District, and finally exchanged for a new situation in Nanhua District. However, the old leader and the secretary of the municipal legal committee had a disagreement over the personnel of the municipal bureau, and they formed a bond, which evolved into a sharp needle point against Mai Mang a few years later.

The final result was a fiasco for the old leader, who was transferred out of the Island City Public Security Bureau overnight.

The newly appointed city director is directly appointed by the secretary of the political and legal committee.

From that day on, David realized that his position would not be too secure, and the future would not be easy.

David's hunch was not wrong. After the city director took office, he always looked at David unpleasantly, and always wanted to give David small shoes to wear. Fortunately, David was always awake and had a sword hanging over his head. Therefore, he is more low-key, more cautious, and more diligent, and the city director cannot find a reason to remove him.

On the day of the "Huatian Homicide Case", when the city director personally appointed David as the "commander-in-chief of the case", David was a little honestly afraid. According to the usual practice, the post of "chief commander of the special case" is either signed by the director of the city bureau himself or concurrently served by the deputy director of the city bureau in charge of criminal investigation work. Therefore, David regretted that he was a villain and lived in the belly of a gentleman, and thanked the city director for his magnanimity, regardless of his previous suspicions, and gave him heavy responsibilities and trust. He is secretly determined to solve the case quickly and perfectly and arrest the murderer.

However, he didn't expect that he was so eager to arrest that he made a mistake that he shouldn't have made.

When the director of the listing bureau couldn't wait to say the words at the summary meeting, in addition to the chill and heartache, David seemed to react all at once - he felt that someone had set up a bureau, a bureau to get him down.

"Some people are impatiently waiting for this result! You solved this case, it's your business; You can't solve this case, I'm sorry, you'll have to step down. David tilted his head, looked at me, and said with a wry smile, "After drilling this game, I have no way out, and I think I am unlucky." Instead of letting people clean up, it is better to take the initiative to abdicate when it comes to current affairs. ”

I was a little speechless, the water in the deep sensory field was too muddy, and the routine was too deep.

When the car arrived at the newspaper office, he stopped the car and said to me, "It's really hard for you—you've put a lot of thought into this report." ”

I reassured him, "It's okay, I can wait until you catch someone before I write." No matter how long it takes, I'll wait for you. ”

He shook his head, smiled wryly, and said, "It won't be my turn to catch him in the future." I have to carry this black cauldron. ”

I said, "Big brother, don't be so pessimistic. No matter who catches him, as soon as the case is solved, the matter will be revealed. ”

He turned around, held out his hand to shake my hand, and said, "You're a good fellow!" "He held my hand so tightly that I felt my hand hurt when I heard his wrist creaking.

I finally pulled out my hand, smiled, and said, "Isn't this big brother free to fish?" ”

He immediately nodded happily and said, "Yes, grandma's, I haven't been fishing in the sea for a long time!" ”

David accompanied the escape of the "third brother" and the subsequent evaporation in the world of the island city, and was unjustly demoted for eight years.

Naturally, my follow-up story didn't make it to the newspapers.

As a journalist, I owe David an in-depth report on the Interpol.
