Detective: From the Police Academy

Chapter 160: Walking on Thin Ice, Already an Isolated Island (Combined Chapter)

After early morning.

Office of the Chief of Linjiang City Police Department.

Because of this major robbery, he has been up for two consecutive nights without sleeping.

The secretary made a cup of coffee and brought it to him, but he waved his hand and refused: "Who wants to drink this? Make me a cup of strong tea."

The secretary nodded in agreement. Just as he opened the door and was about to step out of the office, he saw Yang Xudong standing outside.

"Hello, Secretary Yang."

"Is Director Hu in there?"

The secretary was secretly complaining, wasn't it obvious?

When Hu Changyu saw him, he immediately said, "Secretary Yang, you are here."

The secretary quickly stepped aside and closed the door gently.

Yang Xudong held the thermos in his hand and stared at Hu Changyu.

"Director Hu, Old Hu!"

Hu Changyu pretended not to understand: "Secretary Yang, what's wrong with me?"

"Did we agree on this before the meeting?"

Hu Changyu raised his eyebrows when he saw that he had made his point clear.

Earlier, when the meeting had just ended, except for Yang Xudong, the others all looked unhappy and left without saying a word.

So, as soon as the meeting ended, Yang Xudong came over immediately.

Hu Changyu knew very well that he was not alone.

Hu Changyu immediately replied: "Secretary Yang, I have said before that I will report truthfully! You may have misunderstood what I meant."

Yang Xudong pointed at him and said, "You are playing word games with me! Just tell me one thing, what do you want to do?"

Hu Changyu answered without hesitation: "I have already said at the meeting that the Linjiang Police Department will continue the investigation and dig this person out!"

Yang Xudong grinned.

Hu Changyu frowned, and the atmosphere instantly became freezing cold.

Yang Xudong came up to him, stretched out his hand and patted Hu Changyu on the shoulder.

Finally, he said nothing more, opened the door and strode out.

As soon as he went out, Chen Hao and a group of criminal police rushed in.

"Director Hu!"

"Director Hu, how is it? What did Secretary Yang say?"

Hu Changyu looked at the money tree coldly.

Seeing his look, no one dared to speak. Others didn't understand, but Chen Hao had worked in Linjiang City for more than ten years, so he knew what was going on.

Chen Hao's heart sank to the bottom.

Among the detectives who entered the office, there was no Kang Bolin. He was not from this side, so naturally he would not get involved in this matter to avoid unnecessary trouble.

At this point, everyone in the police station knew that it was no longer a simple matter of tracking down clues and catching fugitives, but rather they were already dancing on the edge of a cliff.

Hu Changyu sighed and looked at his secretary: "What do the reporters and media outside say now?"

The secretary quickly replied: "Director Hu, they are all waiting."

Hu Changyu sighed: "This is exactly what the higher-ups want to see."

The secretary looked around and saw that they were all his own people, so he spoke without hesitation: "Director Hu, what should we do?

This is no longer an internal matter of our police station. If we say there are still robbers who have not been caught... we are really in a desperate situation!"

The secretary's name is Tan Zhiyuan. As Hu Changyuan's personal secretary, they share the same fate, so his words are very straightforward and his tone is very anxious.

When Chen Hao heard his words, his face turned pale.

As a front-line criminal policeman, his main job is to track down and arrest criminals.

The road is under your feet, choose for yourself!
Hu Changyu looked at Chen Hao, smiled slightly and asked, "What do you think?"

Chen Hao pursed his lips and pondered for a long time. Then, he looked at Hu Changyu's eyes and said, "Ten hours ago, when the explosion happened in the jewelry store, Luo Rui told us to keep moving forward on the phone!"

"keep going?"

Hu Changyu raised his eyebrows, then brushed off the police rank on his shoulder, as if there was a layer of invisible dust there.

He looked at the two flags on the table, and then his expression straightened up: "Let's go, these reporters are waiting for us!"

Just as he was about to step out of the office, the phone on the desk rang.

Tan Zhiyuan quickly ran over to answer the call. He picked up the receiver and put it to his ear. After hearing one sentence, he immediately covered the receiver with his hand and said to Hu Changyu, "That's the one calling."

Hu Changyu narrowed his eyes slightly: "Just say I'm not here."

Tan Zhiyuan sighed and nodded dejectedly.

Hu Changyu ignored him and took Chen Hao to the venue.

As soon as they entered the door, a large number of reporters saw them and immediately became agitated.

Hu Changyu noticed that in addition to the reporters from the city’s TV stations, there were also news media from the Imperial City.

Regarding this major case, the reporters were like sharks smelling blood. They all became excited, whispering to each other and passing on information.

Although interviews had been conducted outside the jewelry store, no details were given about the circumstances of this case.

As soon as Hu Changyu sat down, a reporter couldn't help but ask, "Director Hu, we heard that all the criminals are dead?"

Hu Changyu did not answer immediately. Instead, he waited for the staff to adjust the microphone. He took a sip of water and looked at the reporter who had asked the question: "I can answer your question! Although the case has been solved, our police station is not ready to close the case!"

Hearing this, the whole audience was in an uproar.

Solved? But not closed? What does that mean?
The quick-witted reporters immediately thought of something and began to ask questions.

Because the staff designated reporters to ask questions, many reporters' questions could not be answered.

The staff member looked at Hu Changyu deeply, then pointed at a reporter from the local city.

The man stood up and took the microphone and said, "First of all, congratulations to the Linjiang City Police Department for solving such a serious criminal case. The four criminals were extremely vicious and committed multiple murders in succession. Now they have all been shot dead. This is a great achievement, and Director Hu has made an indispensable contribution."

Hu Changyu looked serious and nodded slightly.

The staff member pointed to another reporter, who was still a local reporter.

The man stood up and took the microphone: "Director Hu, under your command and dispatch, the case has been solved in just one day..."

Hu Changyu frowned and looked at the staff, his heart sank to the bottom.

Chen Hao had also discovered something unusual. This wasn't a press conference at all; it was a celebration party specially organized by someone.

This is a very obvious hint. If the press conference ended like this, everyone would be happy and everything would be peaceful and harmonious.

Everyone has a bright future!
However, Hu Changyu immediately interrupted the local reporter's flattery and pointed to a reporter from the Imperial City stationed in the city: "You come and ask..."

The staff member was stunned immediately, and then, as if he hadn't heard it, he raised his hand to signal the local reporter to continue.

The Imperial City reporter had stood up, but hadn't gotten the microphone.

Hu Changyu felt a deep sense of powerlessness in his heart.

He calmed himself down, but the scene when Luo Rui entered the jewelry store suddenly emerged in his mind.

He was not a policeman yet, and he could have refused to enter the jewelry store and deal with the criminals, but he did not back down.

At the critical moment of life and death, he was still telling Chen Hao: Keep moving forward!

Keep going!

Hu Changyu leaned close to the microphone and spoke loudly: "Dear reporters, thank you for coming. What I want to say now is..."

……

In the ward.

Luo Rui, Cai Xiaojing, Chu Yang and Su Mingyuan had been watching the live broadcast of the Linjiang City Police Department's press conference.

At this time, Hu Changyu's voice reached everyone's ears very clearly.

"Although the case has been solved, the culprit is still at large! We don't know who this person is or where he is hiding! He is very smart and has carefully planned to keep himself out of the matter.

But I believe that we will definitely catch this person and bring him to justice. The next major task for the Linjiang City Police Department is to arrest this person so that the innocent people who died can rest in peace! "

One sentence can cause a thousand waves!

Whether it was the reporters at the conference venue, the leaders sitting in the office, or the criminal police and police officers at the lowest level in Linjiang City, they all heard these words.

Hu Changyu’s meaning was very clear, this matter is not over yet!
Luo Rui pursed his lips tightly. He was not mistaken. He was not mistaken about Hu Changyu!
Cai Xiaojing also had a serious expression, her whole body was shaking, and there were even tears in her eyes.

Luo Rui was very surprised. She suppressed her emotions and turned her face away, as if she didn't want him to see.

Cai Xiaojing calmed down and just as she stood up, her cell phone rang. She glanced at the screen and saw that it was Wei Qunshan who was calling.

After answering the call for a while, her expression was extremely uncomfortable, one that could be described as confusion, resentment, and disbelief.

Luo Rui also noticed something was wrong and was about to ask when Cai Xiaojing handed him the phone.

As soon as he put the phone to his ear, he heard Wei Qunshan's voice: "Luo Rui, is that you?"

"Director Wei, it's me!"

Wei Qunshan sighed, and then said: "I have just told Xiaojing that you should come back soon."

Luo Rui was surprised: "Go back?"

"But……"

"No buts, come back!"

Luo Rui raised his eyebrows and said what was in his mind: "Director Wei, are you worried that something might happen?"

Wei Qunshan: "Something has happened! You have watched the press conference, right? I won't say much, you should understand."

Luo Rui: "Director Wei, I want to investigate with Director Hu and the others!"

Wei Qunshan and Hu Changyu are old partners. Even after the former was transferred, their relationship is still very good.

There was a long silence on the other end of the phone, and then he sighed: "You can help them as an individual, but Xiaojing and the others must come back!"

Luo Rui held the phone tightly: "Director Wei, I understand! Thank you for your understanding."

Wei Qunshan: "Okay, very good! Luo Rui, remember what you said, the honor of our police officers must not be abandoned!"

Luo Rui gritted his teeth: "I will always remember it."

Wei Qunshan hung up the phone and Luo Rui returned the phone to Cai Xiaojing.

"Director Wei, I'm telling you to leave Linjiang City immediately."

Cai Xiaojing nodded: "You must understand. I told you before that what Director Wei did was worthy of the oath he made."

Luo Rui: "I understand."

Chu Yang and Su Mingyuan looked at Luo Rui, who said, "Team Leader, we really want to investigate with you and catch the mastermind, but..."

Luo Rui waved his hand: "Let's go, there will be opportunities in the future."

Cai Xiaojing looked at him deeply, then left with the two of them.

Mo Wanqiu passed them in the corridor. As soon as she entered the ward, she saw Luo Rui pulling out the infusion needle from the back of his hand.

She was shocked: "Your injury hasn't healed yet, what are you doing?"

Luo Rui took off his hospital gown and put on his own clothes. Because he moved too quickly, the gunshot wound on his shoulder began to hurt slightly.

He gritted his teeth, looked at Mo Wanqiu and smiled.

Mo Wanqiu immediately understood what he meant: "You want to investigate the case?"

Luo Rui smiled and said, "If you're not investigating a case, are you going on a date?"

Mo Wanqiu pouted: "No, you have to rest. You are so badly injured. Are you the only policeman in the world? What's more, you are not a policeman."

Luo Rui put on his shoes, hugged Mo Wanqiu and kissed her cheek hard.

"I will be a police officer in the future! Let's go, if you have nothing to do, just accompany your parents and have more fun in Linjiang City."

Luo Rui ran towards the corridor like a gust of wind. Mo Wanqiu stood there in a daze. She wiped her tears. She was holding the freshly cooked chicken soup in her hand and she even forgot to let him drink a sip first.

……

Linjiang City Police Department.

In the small meeting room, everyone had a gloomy look on their faces. No one spoke, and no one dared to speak.

After the press conference, it caused an uproar in the entire city.

There are many different opinions from outside, and there is no definitive conclusion.

Chen Hao kept smoking and the ashtray was full of cigarette butts.

Wu Lei wanted to say something, but was glared at by Yang Xiaorui next to him.

Soon, Hu Changyu walked into the small conference room. Everyone quickly stood up and looked at him with burning eyes.

Hu Changyu had dark circles under his eyes. He smiled and looked at everyone: "Why, you are all listless? We haven't solved the case yet. What should we do next? Let's hold a case analysis meeting."

Chen Hao nodded and threw the cigarette butt into the ashtray.

He walked to the whiteboard and just picked up the marker when he saw a figure walking to the door of the conference room.

Luo Rui covered his shoulder and grinned, "What? You want to have a meeting without waiting for me? No matter what, I am a lone hero who rescues people. Do you have the nerve to abandon me, you green ghost?"

Chen Hao was stunned for a moment, then blinked: "I thought you and Kang Bolin left on the bus."

Luo Rui stepped into the meeting room and nodded to Hu Changyu: "Director Hu."

Hu Changyu looked at him, his eyes suddenly lit up, he was very surprised and delighted.

Luo Rui looked at Chen Hao: "Hey, did you remove my position as the head of the criminal team? If so, then I will have no choice but to beg you to be my follower. I wonder if Wu Lei will agree?"

He looked at Wu Lei, only to see the latter nodding vigorously.

However, there were only a few people sitting in this conference room.

Luo Rui's heart sank: "Where are the others?"

Chen Hao shrugged helplessly: "Everyone is off work."

Luo Rui looked at Hu Changyu: "Director Hu, you..."

Hu Changyu smiled and said, "Didn't you tell us to keep moving forward? Old Hu will always be a frontline criminal police officer. Catching criminals is the first honor of a police officer."

Luo Rui pursed his lips, nodded solemnly and sat down in the chair.

Chen Hao tightly grasped the marker and began to sort out the case.

Photos of the four robbers, as well as Ouyang Qian and Kong Fei were posted on the whiteboard.

Because these six people were all dead, Chen Hao wrote an "X" at the top of the whiteboard to represent the manipulator behind the scenes.

Chen Hao turned around and looked at the eight criminal police officers in the conference room, among whom Yang Xiaorui was only doing clerical work.

"Time is running out, so I will only talk about the key points. During the video conference, Luo Rui pointed out that this Tang Monk was the mastermind behind the robbery of the Guangxing Jewelry Store and the seizure of the escort vehicle. After that, he replaced himself with Ge Hong, who had never appeared before. He himself hid behind the scenes.

After analysis and comparison, we found that it is indeed as Luo Rui said, judging from the height and walking posture, Tang Seng is completely different from two people! And this Ge Hong is taller and a little stronger.

This is the most direct evidence that the person behind the scenes does exist.

Now, what do we have to do is how do we catch this guy? What do you think? "

Yang Xiaorui raised her hand: "Captain Chen, I have been locating the phone that sent the message. Since Luo Rui entered the jewelry store, this phone has been turned off and the SIM card has been removed. It is estimated that it will not be used again. But at that time, this person really appeared at the crime scene! Can we visit the onlookers at the scene and investigate this person?"

Before Chen Hao could say anything, Wu Lei retorted: "This is difficult. When the explosion occurred, Captain Cai and I went to the scene and didn't find any suspicious people. How can we investigate?"

Yang Xiaorui rolled her eyes: "You are so good! How do you tell me to check?"

Wu Lei replied: "I don't think it's possible that this person would find six people for no reason and commit such a big crime together. He must have a close relationship with one of them, such as Tang Xiong, Jiang Shu, etc. As long as we visit the social relationships of these people, we should be able to get clues."

Chen Hao sighed: "If we follow the normal procedures to investigate, there will be no problem, but look at us now, including Luo Rui, there are only ten people in total. How can we investigate such a huge workload? Moreover, there are so many people involved. We must catch this person as quickly as possible, otherwise..."

If we can catch the person in the first place, there is still room for maneuver.

After these words were spoken, everyone else fell silent, with a gloomy look in their eyes.

Hu Changyu wanted to speak several times, but he just sighed and couldn't say anything.

Chen Hao stood in front of the whiteboard, constantly thinking about where to start.

At this time, Luo Rui stood up and said with a smile: "Don't be depressed, everyone. Why didn't you think about this?"

Chen Hao was too familiar with Luo Rui's smiling face. If he was not confident about the case, he would not have smiled so slyly.

Hu Changyu's eyes also lit up.

He just said: "I have already said in the video conference that the man behind the scenes is too smart, too cruel, and kills without blinking an eye. He asked Tang Xiong to kidnap people not because he wanted them to escape, but because he wanted to blow them all up.

Besides, he also wanted to kill me, so he asked Tang Xiong to call me in.

His plan was perfect. If nothing unexpected happened, he would really be able to get away with it and there would be no clues to arrest him.

The robbers in the jewelry store did not know about the bombs beforehand, so who placed them there and when?

Fortunately, I found the bomb in time after I went in, otherwise all the evidence would be lost.

His accomplices, surveillance equipment, and humanity will cease to exist.

But now everyone is still alive!

If my guess is correct, this person had appeared in the jewelry store before and might have even pretended to be a customer!

As long as we ask about the situation at that time, we can dig him out!"
