"I don't know what the bigger picture is in your mouth, but I also believe that among you people, there has been opposition to large-scale investigations, not just to avoid causing panic among the population. Many unexplained cases will indeed cause panic among the people, but failure to investigate will only exacerbate the panic of the people. ”

"You can sit in today's position, everyone is not stupid, you don't investigate your reasons, it's confidential, I have no right to intervene. But what I'm trying to tell you is that a large-scale investigation may not be a good way to go, but it's not the way to do it in this way. Since the first case of the woman in red in 1988, how many cases have occurred across the country, some of these cases have been thoroughly investigated, and some have not been thoroughly investigated, your negative attitude will not let the criminals wash their hands of the golden basin, but will make the cases more and more serious, there will be more cases, and more innocent people will die. You all have your own mission on your shoulders, please think carefully about the decisions you make, which may benefit or harm society. ”

After a long series of words, I stood up. I think it's time for the negotiations to pause for a while, these people are clearly biased against me, and I have to calm them down. I'll have to think about how I'm going to convince these people next. Jiang Jun followed me out, it was night, and the temperature was a little low.

Jiang Jun and I went directly into Xu Tong's office, where he sat the whole time. When Jiang Jun and I came out, he immediately stood up, and he asked us how the result was. I shook my head and said that the negotiations were just suspended, and the outcome was unknown. Xu Tong took a breath of conversation and poured water for me and Jiang Jun.

"Team Xu, you're right, those people have different opinions, I want to know, what do you think?" I asked.

Xu Tong took a sip of water: "Professor Li, now you should know my difficulties." The head of the Criminal Investigation Bureau has a lot of power, but in fact, I am just working for others. I don't have my own ideas, all I need to do is do what I am told. If the boss says not to check, I won't check, and the top says to check, I Xu Tong did my best and died. ”

I didn't embarrass Xu Tong, I thought about it and changed the question: "Shen Cheng, why did you help you solve the case in City B in the first place?" ”

Wen Ning once said that in the years when I fell out with the police in City B, there was a person who had been assisting them in handling the case. And when I took Shen Nuo to the Criminal Investigation Bureau of City B, I found that many people recognized her, but they didn't dare to mention it casually. Later, I learned that the person Wen Ning was talking about was Shen Cheng.

In those years, there were several major criminal cases and economic crimes in City B, but the police solved the cases in a very short time. The quality and investigation ability of the police in City B naturally do not need to be mentioned, but the speed of solving the case is staggering, all of which is due to Shen Cheng.

The words have been clarified, and Xu Tong no longer conceals them. It was about five years ago that I had a falling out with the police in City B. At that time, Shen Cheng had not officially taken up his post in Chongqing City, he first went to City B. After the police in City B tried to communicate with me, but I refused to help solve the case, they invited Shen Cheng.

In fact, it can't be said to be an invitation, but Shen Cheng took the initiative to find the police in City B.

And the person who took Shen Cheng to the Criminal Investigation Bureau of City B also sat in the conference room where he had just negotiated. Xu Tong still seems to have taboos, so he didn't say which person it was. However, I was not surprised at all, because I had long guessed that Shen Cheng and Shen Nuo had contact with the police and the official high-level.

Otherwise, Shen Nuo would not have frequently brought me news about whether the task force was established that day.

But I think that what really has something to do with the official high-level is not Shen Cheng and Shen Nuo, but the forces behind them. This force can be seen from the negotiations with those people just now, and they also want to wipe out this force, but they have deep concerns and taboos.

Therefore, the relationship between that force and the official high-level must also be very strange, maybe enemies who have not yet made a move, but it is certain that they are definitely not friends. At the beginning, after that person brought Shen Cheng to the Criminal Investigation Bureau of City B, Shen Cheng directly said that he had a way to help the police department of City B solve any case.

Shen Cheng is young and promising, he is younger than me, and he also exudes a sense of arrogance in his bones. It's just that with Shen Cheng's strength, he is fully qualified to have this arrogance. Xu Tong didn't believe Shen Cheng at first, but because of the people brought by the high-level, he had to let him try.

Unexpectedly, with the help of Shen Cheng, the speed of the police to solve the case increased several times. In many big cases, the suspects were locked up and successfully arrested within a few days. Later, the killer organization in Chongqing City became active, and Shen Cheng was transferred to another post as an exception and served as the deputy captain of a criminal police detachment directly under the central government.

What surprised me was that Shen Cheng's position turned out to be Shen Cheng's own request.

Shen Cheng said at the beginning that it would not be a matter of one or two days to exterminate the killer organization, but as far as any police officer in Yu City is concerned, no one can succeed, and only he can succeed. He asked for this position and promised to completely eradicate the killer organization for the police within a few years.

Moreover, he will promise that after he takes office, he will make the killer organization dare not act rashly and reduce the occurrence of crime.

Xu Tong couldn't do this, but after he submitted Shen Cheng's request to his superiors, he quickly received a written reply from his superiors. So, Shen Cheng went to Chongqing City. Because of the power, Shen Cheng did not personally exterminate the killer organization in the end, but Shen Cheng knew everything about the situation between Lu Nan and the tanuki for several years.

It can be seen that Shen Cheng has the ability to fulfill his promise, but the person who finally completed this matter was replaced by Lu Nan.

"Actually, I was worried at first." Xu Tong said to me: "Chongqing, like City B, is a big city, and once something goes wrong, the consequences are unimaginable. Fortunately, this Shen Cheng has been solving cases for the police, and it is gratifying that there is another Lunan in Yu City. ”

Just as I was talking to Xu Tong, there was a knock on the door.

It's Wei Zhong, and the negotiations have been suspended for an hour. Looking at my watch, it's almost dawn. I asked Wei Zhong if he had come to urge me to go back and continue the negotiations, Wei Zhong shook his head, he said that I could go back whenever I wanted, and he was not in a hurry. With that, Wei Zhong sat down with us again.

Wei Zhong calmly sipped the tea, he was not young, he didn't sleep so late, he looked a little tired.

"Mr. Wei Zhong, can you tell me, are you in favor of continuing the investigation, or are you against the investigation?" I asked.

Instead of answering my question, Wei Zhong asked me, "What do you think?" ”

I shook my head: "I can't guess. ”

Wei Zhong no longer beat around the bush: "Actually, we have been arguing about this issue for many years. Several times, proposals, several votes, and in the end, among those of us, there were more opposition parties than supporters, so the police had to investigate in secret. ”

Jiang Jun was a little incredulous: "For such a major matter, you don't give orders directly, but vote like a game?" ”

Wei Zhong didn't mind what Jiang Jun said badly, he laughed twice: "Actually, you should also know that it is not those of us who can really make decisions, but our unified proposal is basically destined to be ordered at the highest level." The top level only needs an official seal, and if we all agree on it, after thinking about it at the top, it is not difficult to seal it, because it is we who know the situation best. But the difficulty is that we have no way to agree on our opinions, and no one can convince anyone, so we can only adopt the definition of democracy in our country: the minority obeys the majority. ”

"But you can't represent the people." Jiang Jun insisted.

Wei Zhong: "Don't be naïve, kid, maybe in a few decades you can see a referendum, but at least, not now." ”

I know it's the big picture, so I don't dwell on it.

"I just want to know, did you vote for or against in the vote?"
