Chapter 41: The Bitter Meat Scheme
The whistleblower claimed that he lived in the same neighborhood as Du Heping, and saw Du Heping's son Du Peng colluding with thieves to buy and sell stolen cars, saying that he hid in the dark and heard it, because the car was involved in the case, and it was safest to put it there because his father was the policeman in charge of the case.
He also said that Du Peng was most likely an accomplice in that case.
"Slander, slander, ulterior motives!" Du Heping shouted loudly, snapped the report letter on the coffee table.
"You dare to say there is no such thing?"
"What this man says is not the truth!"
"You mean Du Peng didn't buy a motorcycle from anyone else?"
"Selling is selling, but ......"
"Don't worry...... Don't worry, sit down and speak slowly. Deputy Director Cao said, picked up the teapot and refilled the tea for Du Heping.
Du Heping picked up the teacup and drank it in one gulp.
"Drink so quickly, aren't you afraid of burning your mouth?" Deputy Director Cao picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said, "Good tea should be drunk like this." β
"Cao Ju, what's wrong with you today? Is there something to say directly? Why do you have to cover the clouds and mountains and go around? β
Deputy Director Cao put down the teacup and said, "I'm giving you enough time to think, okay, now that you have figured it out, let's talk." β
Du Heping said that I originally wanted to report to you, but the incident came suddenly, and even I was blindsided.
Then he told Du Peng about buying a car.
After listening to this, Deputy Director Cao asked him if the motorcycle was the one involved in the case.
Du Heping said that it should be, but the owner of the store was ambiguous and uncertain.
"Du Heping, are you sloppy with me again?" Deputy Director Cao stared at Du Heping's eyes and asked, "Have you already noticed that your son is involved in the case?" I'm telling you, if you hide the truth, you're covering up, and it's a serious problem! β
"No...... No, absolutely not!" Du Heping waved his hand again and again.
Deputy Director Cao stood up, paced forward a few steps, and then returned, and said earnestly: "Lao Du, we have been colleagues for many years, old man, I know that you are very bitter in your heart, in order to recover, your wife was killed, and only your son is left with a relative, but you can't get used to him, in case you wade into troubled waters and go the wrong way, isn't that also harming him?" β
A word hit Du Heping, and his heart ached faintly.
"Cao Ju, you know, his mother's death hurt him a lot, and he can't get out of the shadows, I really can't do anything!"
Deputy Director Cao said: "You don't need to be sad and sad, do you still look like a criminal policeman?" As far as I can see, your son is not depraved, but only emotionally negative. β
"You've watched him?"
"yes, he didn't tell you that someone was following him, did he?"
"No, he rarely communicates with me, and he keeps a tight face every day, like an enemy."
"That's what's wrong with you, Sensei said his son, anyone needs verbal communication, and they need emotional communication."
Du Heping asked him what was going on with the tracking, and Deputy Director Cao said that it was not actually tracking, but it happened to happen.
"Where did you meet him?"
"Over there in Chaoyang Square, I accidentally recognized him and deliberately followed him for a while, guess what I saw?"
"What do you see?"
"Seeing him helping an old lady across the road and picking up the garbage on the side of the road and putting it in the trash can, can such a child be a bad child?"
"Where did he go?"
"By the way, Lao Du, that kid seems to be in love, do you know?"
"In love? With whom? β
"Where do I know who it is, it looks like it's well-dressed, with long hair and a shawl, a straight waist, just a big cap, I can't see my face clearly, but I feel like it's a very tasteful one."
Du Heping thought of Du Peng's rich woman, and his heart was restless, he shook his head and said, "I don't even have a positive shape, what kind of person is in love?" It's all in vain! β
"What kind of dad are you? Even the major events of his son's life are not taken seriously. β
"People can't do it, what kind of love can they talk about?" Du Heping took a sip of tea, looked up and asked Deputy Director Cao, "What about motorcycles?" β
Deputy Director Cao thought for a moment and said, "Otherwise, let your son go to the Chengguan Station as an auxiliary police officer first." β
"No...... No, firstly, he is not that material, and secondly, he has a low level of skill, and he can't look down on that job in his heart. β
It seems that Deputy Director Cao had a plan for a long time, and gave Du Heping two tricks, saying that as long as you play the play well, he will definitely report obediently.
The first trick was to let Du Heping go home and play a bitter trick, saying that he was suspended because of his son's purchase of a stolen car, and he would be investigated;
The second trick is to let Du Peng ride a motorcycle to surrender himself, and he may be detained. The best way is to make meritorious contributions to the crime and become an auxiliary police officer to help solve the cases under investigation.
Du Heping thought about it, felt reliable, stood up and thanked him, and walked towards the door.
As soon as he walked a few steps, Deputy Director Cao called out to him again and said that there is something I will talk to you about.
Du Heping turned around and came back and asked what was the matter.
Deputy Director Cao said: "After you go back, warn that Gu Weitao, and ask him to pay attention to the influence in the future, don't get mixed with those individual bosses, and don't go to high-end hotels casually." β
This Deputy Director Cao, who thinks he is sparse and good at mud on weekdays, turned out to be a six-eared macaque, and he couldn't hide anything from him, so he quickly explained: "That's the case, his father-in-law and mother-in-law came, and he slapped his swollen face and became fat, so he went to that kind of place." β
"You mean he's a guest?"
"yes."
Deputy Director Cao glared and said, "Then the problem is serious, how can he let others pay for him?" Will there be a private transaction that is inconvenient to see the light of day? β
"Cao Ju, did you see others pay for him with your own eyes, or is it hearsay?"
"Of course I saw it with my own eyes, I had an official banquet, because I was hiding from alcohol, I slipped out and accidentally saw him."
Du Heping patted his chest and said: "Gu Weitao is absolutely no problem, because of the investigation of the case, I got acquainted with the boss, and I didn't have a deep friendship, let alone a transaction, and the meal fee paid on behalf of him has been returned." β
"When will it be returned?"
"This morning."
"How do you know so well?"
"Because I'm his master."
"That's right, I forgot about this stubble, what kind of master there is, what kind of apprentice."
"Cao Ju, what's wrong with me?"
"I have to say this, from time to time, I make a little muddy, and when I am old, don't make a reputation for being unsafe." Deputy Director Cao took a sip of water, and then said, "You keep an eye on me, if Gu Weitao's kid doesn't care, he will be transferred to the township police station!" β
"Don't ...... Don't, the young man is good, he has a good character, he works hard, and his skills are good. β
"Come on, you calf keeper needs to fix it." Deputy Director Cao waved his hand and said that you have to go when you are busy.
Du Heping understood in his heart that Deputy Director Cao's sentence of protecting the calves was not all with Gu Weitao, he was a pun and piggyback on his son's affairs.
I went back to the office, explained a few words, picked up my bag and went home.
entered the house, immediately entered the role, and according to the guidance of Deputy Director Cao, he vividly acted a bitter trick.
He sat on the couch with a dark face and sighed.
The son came out of the bedroom, glanced at him, didn't speak, and went into the bathroom.
When I came back after solving the problem, I saw my father with a handful of snot and tears, and he looked like he was going to die or live, and his heart was empty, and he asked, "Is the motorcycle in trouble?" β
Du Heping whimpered and was overwhelmed with grief.
"You're talking."
Du Heping picked up a bundle of toilet paper from the coffee table, tore off a piece, wiped his eyes first, blew his nose again, sighed, and said, "What kind of life am I?" β
"What's wrong?"
"The career is over."
"You're fired?"
"Yes, the director talked to me and said that if the follow-up problems are not handled well, I will be fired."
"Why did you want to be fired?" Du Peng's face changed sharply, and he looked at his father in a daze.
Du Heping said the lines that had been conceived a long time ago, he said that I was reported, and the report letter was not only sent to the director, but also to the supervision department of the Commission for Discipline Inspection, on charges of conniving at and shielding his son's crime.
"I ...... What crime have I committed? β
"It's not because of the motorcycle, the report letter says that you bought the motorcycle just as an illusion, the real purpose is to hide the tools of the crime, and it also says that you are involved in the kidnapping and murder case."
"Isn't that slander? When did I get involved in a kidnapping and murder case? β
Du Heping said I know you didn't get involved, but there is no evidence, just say it with one mouth, it's useless, the discipline inspection department has intervened, and issued instructions to suspend my work, if you can't completely clear up, you will expel me from public office.
"Your bureau leaders don't know who you are? It's so sloppy to deal with. β
"The bureau leaders know me, but they don't know you, and they are helpless about the decisions made by their superiors, and they have also helped them think of a lot of coping strategies, but they may not be able to do it."
"Which of the king's sons did this? It's so dark, if I find it, I'll have to kill the dog! Du Peng jumped like thunder.
Du Heping looked at his son with wide eyes, full of surprise, and muttered, "Unexpectedly, you have really become bad." β
"Who...... Who went bad? β
"Who can have that kind of look if they're not bad people? Look at the way you grit your teeth, only the most vicious people are that virtuous! β
"You people, wearing a police uniform in vain, can't even understand this little trick, this is obviously a trap set by someone, and you are still staring and jumping in!"
"Why do you want to jump into it when you know it's a trap?"
"Then I'm not confused."
"You are not just confused, you are greedy, blindly obedient, naΓ―ve, and lack the most basic sense of self-protection! One crooked step will not only ruin you and me, but also ruin this already dilapidated home! Du Heping had fully entered the role, stood up, and reprimanded loudly.
Du Peng lowered his head and slowed down for a while before saying, "Actually, it's not that serious, isn't it just buying a black car?" β
"That's enough for you to drink a pot! What's more, there are unexplained crimes, it's okay to say that the case is solved, if it can't be solved forever, you won't be able to wash it for the rest of your life! β
