Detective: From the Police Academy

Chapter 167: Inserting an Insider
"If I have the chance, I would like to sit down and chat with them, and tell them that even if they are stuck in the mud, white flowers can still bloom..."

Chen Hao was deeply moved when he heard Luo Rui's true thoughts.

The two people have been together for more than half a year, and most of their time is spent investigating cases together, and they rarely communicate privately.

Chen Hao remembered very clearly that when he first met Luo Rui, the impression he gave him was not very good.

How did a high school student know about the pornographic venues in the streets and alleys of Linjiang City?

If you hadn't been on the battlefield for a long time and had in-depth contact with it, you wouldn't know it so clearly.

This question had always been in his mind. Later, after getting to know him slowly, Chen Hao felt that Luo Rui's observation and insight were indeed outstanding. After understanding the other party's abilities, he gradually forgot about the matter.

But what happened that night was that Linjiang City was also planning to launch a major crackdown on prostitution, and Luo Rui just happened to run into it.

What Chen Hao didn't expect during these few months was that the people related to the cases solved by Luo Rui were still thinking about them.

In fact, in Chen Hao's heart, there is a longer list, which is filled with the names of victims and perpetrators.

Shout!

In the middle of the night, these people were shouting in their dreams!

Their lives weren't supposed to be like this, but the sun didn't shine on them.

Chen Hao felt that from this moment on, Luo Rui had transformed into a qualified criminal policeman.

But at the same time, he was standing on the edge of a cliff, staring into the abyss for too long. If he was not careful, the nightmare in his heart would pull him down.

After all, there are no absolutely good people or absolutely bad people in this world.

Sometimes, the police will arrest perpetrators who appear to be bad guys but are actually good guys; they may also be helpless when dealing with victims who appear to be good guys but are actually guilty of heinous crimes!
Fan Hang, Feng Qiang, Zhu Lizhi, and Guo Yun, each one of them was stuck in the quagmire and was ruthlessly drowned in the end.

Chen Hao took a breath, looked at Luo Rui and smiled: "Don't think too much. As police officers, our hearts must be cold, hard, and as solid as a rock!"

Luo Rui suppressed his emotions and stared at him without blinking: "Captain Chen, have you ever encountered a situation where you wanted to kill a suspect?"

Chen Hao's pupils constricted and he remained silent for a long time.

Due to discipline, he still answered the question that he shouldn't have answered: "Yes, I have encountered a case of child murder. At that time, I was still very young, and the suspect was caught on the spot by us. I and a few young criminal police officers could not help but take action against this person immediately. At that time, discipline was not as strict as it is now.

Human violence seems to be innate. The more you hit, the more you can't stop.

Fortunately, my master arrived in time and stopped us, otherwise the suspect would have been beaten to death by us.

Later, during training, we heard from some experts and professors that there is something in the human body called dopamine, which will constantly stimulate you, control your emotions, and turn you into a devil. "

Luo Rui nodded. When he was on the boat, he almost lost control of himself. The man with the scar and the man in the flowered shirt were almost beaten to death by him.

"Tell me about X? How's the investigation going?"

Chen Hao pondered for a while and replied, "General Zhu from the provincial department is personally leading the investigation. You should have a good rest and don't ask any more questions."

"I'm still okay. Although I can't investigate with you, I can think. I'm the person who has the most contact with X. As long as X is not caught, Director Hu can't be cleared of all charges."

Seeing that he was so stubborn, Chen Hao just recounted his investigation in detail.

"Li Xue was murdered, and all clues were lost. Captain Zhu and his team can only review the existing clues and re-examine the case, hoping to find this X."

Luo Rui shook his head: "This X is too cunning. His plan is full of traps. From the very beginning, he wanted to kill all the people involved in the robbery."

Chen Hao also sighed and said, "Yeah, I'm afraid it will be difficult to catch him again."

He stood up and said, "Okay, that's it for now. Have a good rest and I'll come to see you tomorrow. The criminals on the ship are also receiving treatment in this hospital. Once their injuries are stable, I'll have to take them back to Linjiang City. Also, don't worry about your safety. I've sent two detectives to guard outside your ward."

When Chen Hao walked out of the ward, Mo Wanqiu was standing by the door, and the two nodded to each other.

Mo Wanqiu's expression has never been so gloomy. She has always been a carefree person, but in the past two days, she seemed like a different person.

Chen Hao wanted to say something, but he couldn't open his mouth.

Mo Wanqiu pushed the door open and went straight to the bedside.

Luo Rui noticed her expression and grinned.

But Mo Wanqiu didn't laugh, instead he said, "Luo Rui, let's talk."

"What to talk about?"

"Stop helping the police solve cases. Don't be a police officer anymore!"

Luo Rui was silent, but looking at Mo Wanqiu's tearful expression, his heart sank to the bottom.

Mo Wanqiu sobbed, "Promise me, this is not only my idea, but also Mom and Dad's idea. If you continue like this, we don't know where to collect your body!"

"I know you want to catch X and clear Director Hu's name, but it's too dangerous! I don't agree with you continuing!"

Mo Wanqiu stopped crying, moved closer to Luo Rui, and whispered, "Even if you catch X, can you really clear Director Hu's name?"

"Who told you that?"

Luo Rui was surprised. He didn't expect Mo Wanqiu to be so smart. Ordinary people see things as either black or white, and few people would think more deeply.

Mo Wanqiu took a tissue and wiped her tears: "Luo Rui, I'm not stupid, how could I not know."

As soon as she finished speaking, the door of the ward was pushed open.

The people who came were Luo Rui's parents, and Mo Liguo and his wife.

They were holding some laundry supplies and the soup Feng Ping had prepared specially for them.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Mo Wanqiu shouted, "Luo Rui, don't investigate X anymore! Promise me, okay?!"

After these words were spoken, everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at Luo Rui in silence.

Seeing the worried and hopeful looks in his parents' eyes, he really couldn't refuse.

Luo Rui gritted his teeth and nodded: "I promise you, I won't investigate X for now. Everything will be decided after he recovers."

Seeing him being so straightforward, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and the atmosphere in the ward immediately became relaxed.

Feng Ping quickly filled a bowl of chicken soup from her thermos cup: "Here, son, this is the old hen your aunt He bought specially. The soup is at the perfect temperature. Have a drink."

He Chunhua smiled and said, "These are local chickens. They are hard to buy, so I bought ten at once and kept them all on the balcony. I had a Labrador before late autumn, but later gave it away. These chickens are all locked in dog cages. We can't kill them all. We have to keep them fresh."

"Thank you, Aunt He." Luo Rui said. He knew that He Chunhua always loved cleanliness and especially hated noise.

Mo Wanqiu used to keep a dog, but she felt it was too difficult to take care of and she was too lazy to deal with the dog hair and poop, so she gave the dog away despite Mo Wanqiu's pleas.

This time, in order to help Luo Rui's injury heal quickly, she actually raised a flock of chickens on the balcony, which was enough to show her concern for Luo Rui.

However, He Chunhua has not changed. From her attitude towards nurses and doctors, it can be seen that she is still arrogant.

But the attitude towards Luo Rui is no longer the same as before.

At this time, Rosen said, "Son, there is a family in the neighborhood where your uncle Mo lives who wants to sell a house. It's a large flat with more than 300 square meters. Your uncle Mo and I went to see it tonight. The house is very nice. How about we buy it?"

Mo Liguo took over the conversation: "This family lives upstairs from our house. The owner is going abroad, and the house has just been renovated. And most importantly, there has never been an elderly person living in the house."

Mo Liguo's words were very obscure. No elderly people had ever lived there meaning no one had ever died there.

Mo Liguo and He Chunhua looked at Luo Rui eagerly, waiting for him to speak. If they bought a house above theirs, when he and Mo Wanqiu got married in the future, the distance between the two families would be closer.

After all, she is an only child. Every family would feel sorry for a daughter who is married off.

Being close is a good thing, but Luo Rui is cautious. What if there are conflicts between his wife's family and his husband's family in the future? Wouldn't it be a mess all day long?
Seeing that his mother didn't seem to care, he nodded and said, "That's it. If you don't have enough money, I still have some."

Upon hearing this, Mo Liguo and He Chunhua were so excited that they almost jumped up. They treated Rosen and his wife even more attentively, calling them "big brother" and "big sister" all the time.

Even if Mo Wanqiu is married, she is still by his side. How can the two of them not be happy?
Besides, if we have children in the future, we won’t be lonely and we can help take care of the children and take them for walks.

Seeing that Luo Rui cared about her, Mo Wanqiu's gloom disappeared and she smiled rarely.

Mo Liguo immediately called the landlord, wanting to finalize the matter quickly.

……

The next morning, Mo Wanqiu brought breakfast. After Luo Rui had eaten, Chen Hao came to the ward again.

"Luo Rui, I have to go back to Linjiang. These criminals have all undergone surgery and are in relatively stable condition. I want to take them back."

Luo Rui's injury was not optimistic, mainly due to fatigue over the past few days, so his recovery was very slow.

He wanted to lift his body, but Chen Hao held his shoulders.

"You should have a good rest and don't get up. Don't worry, I will definitely catch X!"

At this time, Mo Wanqiu saw light in Luo Rui's eyes, but it then dimmed.

He asked aloud, "Sure?"

Chen Hao nodded solemnly: "Definitely!"

Luo Rui put his head back on the pillow. Just as Chen Hao was about to leave the ward, he turned around and said, "Oh, by the way, I almost forgot to tell you that the box of tea that Director Hu promised to give you before he left is with me. I will mail it to you after I return."

Luo Rui moved his lips, but no words came out.

Mo Wanqiu seemed to want to say something but hesitated, and finally remained silent.

……

Cai Xiaojing parked his car in the hospital parking lot. As soon as he got out of the car, he saw Chen Hao walking out of the inpatient building, accompanied by fully armed special police.

These police officers were arranged by the Municipal Bureau to escort these suspects.

The snow finally stopped after two days, but the ground was covered with thick snow.

Cai Xiaojing stepped on the snow, making a "crunching, crunching" sound under her feet.

Chen Hao also walked towards her and the two shook hands.

"Are you here to see Luo Rui?"

Cai Xiaojing put her hands in the pockets of her down jacket, exhaled a breath of cool air, and nodded slightly.

Chen Hao took out a cigarette and lit it.

Cai Xiaojing looked at him and said, "Give me one, Captain Chen."

Chen Hao was surprised and took out a cigarette. After Cai Xiaojing took it, he helped her light it.

"I remember you didn't smoke."

Cai Xiaojing took a puff but didn't feel choked. It was obvious that she was a frequent smoker.

"Sometimes I'll smoke one when I get home from get off work."

Chen Hao was silent. Being a criminal policeman is bound to bring him pressure. Moreover, as the captain of the criminal police brigade of Haijiang Branch, Cai Xiaojing had even heavier pressure on her shoulders.

Everyone needs to find an outlet to vent their emotions. If they suppress their emotions for too long, they will collapse sooner or later.

The police station has a dedicated psychologist, but most police officers are uncomfortable with this and say they are fine.

In fact, everyone knows that when faced with cruel cases, even the strongest people will have psychological problems.

The two men smoked cigarettes and watched the medical staff and special police carry several suspects into the car. Although these people were seriously injured, they had to be guarded by someone during the escort, and they had to be handcuffed to restrict their freedom of movement.

Halfway through smoking a cigarette, Chen Hao asked, "I heard that you guys caught the contact person?"

Cai Xiaojing nodded: "I have already interrogated him."

"After these suspects are sent back to Linjiang, they will probably be sent to the provincial department soon. It's the same case, and it involves the Koreans..."

Chen Hao did not ask too many questions. The two police stations were not subordinate to each other and had confidentiality principles, so they could not talk casually.

Chen Hao finished his cigarette and threw the butt into the snow: "Captain Cai, I'm leaving first."

Cai Xiaojing also threw away the cigarette butt and extinguished it with the sole of her shoe: "Captain Chen, have a safe trip."

Chen Hao waved to the SWAT officers beside the car.

A group of people immediately got in the cars, and five police cars sandwiched the two ambulances in between and drove out of the hospital gate.

After they left, Cai Xiaojing squatted down, picked up two cigarette butts from the snow, and walked to the inpatient department and threw the cigarette butts into the trash can. When she arrived at Luo Rui's ward, she saw two criminal police officers sitting on a bench outside the ward, eating breakfast.

These two people were not sent by the Haijiang Branch. They should be from the Municipal Bureau, so she didn't know them.

But others knew her. She was once the belle of the police academy and was the most talked about person among the male detectives in the Municipal Bureau. In particular, her brother-in-law Wu Dahao had a special liking for Cai Xiaojing. Everyone in the Municipal Bureau knew about it.

When they saw her, the two detectives immediately put down their breakfast and greeted her: "Captain Cai."

"Captain Cai, good morning."

Cai Xiaojing smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

"It's not hard."

A tall and handsome criminal policeman asked eagerly, "Captain Cai, have you eaten? Do you want me to buy you one?"

Cai Xiaojing politely refused: "I've already eaten."

She pointed to the ward, and Detective Gao Shuai immediately understood: "Oh, there are only Team Leader Luo and her girlfriend in the ward. Team Leader Luo is in good condition, but she can't get out of bed for the time being."

Hearing that Mo Wanqiu was inside, Cai Xiaojing hesitated. She didn't know whether she should go in now.

But unexpectedly, Mo Wanqiu suddenly pushed open the door of the ward.

Seeing the smile on her face, Cai Xiaojing also smiled.

"Sir Cai, you are here."

"Well, he..."

Mo Wanqiu nodded: "He is fine..."

The atmosphere suddenly fell silent. Neither of them knew what to say, but they just stood by the door.

The two detectives looked at each other and found that there seemed to be something strange between them.

Finally, Mo Wanqiu made way: "Mr. Cai, please go in. I'll go get some water."

"Thank you." Cai Xiaojing breathed a sigh of relief and pushed the door open.

She saw Luo Rui lying on his side on the hospital bed, with gauze wrapped around his shoulders and waist, his eyes looking out the window without blinking.

Even though Cai Xiaojing closed the door gently, he didn't notice.

She didn't say anything, just stared at him.

After a long time, Luo Rui turned his head and saw her, then a smile appeared in his eyes.

“Cai…”

Before Luo Rui could say anything, Cai Xiaojing smiled and asked, "Are you feeling better?"

"Very good. I will be able to go out and move around in a few days."

Cai Xiaojing came to the bedside and said with a smile: "Don't tease me anymore, and don't call me Mr. Cai, okay?"

Luo Rui was surprised. He blinked and said, "Okay, I'll call you Captain Cai."

"Call me Xiaojing."

When saying this, Cai Xiaojing quickly looked away, not daring to meet Luo Rui's gaze.

"Okay, Xiaojing."

She didn't expect Luo Rui's answer to be so straightforward, and a warm feeling grew in her heart.

She concealed the purpose of her visit and covered it up with lies: "By the way, I came here to tell you that we have found out the mastermind behind your kidnapping. This is what happened..."

Luo Rui was not surprised after hearing this. The Ye family was vindictive and very much in line with their style in Hong Kong, and were used to being lawless. But these people were also smart. Since he did not dare to come to the mainland, he just found someone to kidnap him.

What he didn't expect was that this also involved Hong Kong's underworld.

From what Cai Xiaojing had investigated, Luo Rui learned that Hesheng was an old gang in Hong Kong with a large number of members, and that the business they ran was half legal and half illegal.

Gray income is laundered through legitimate business, this is an old trick.

As for Bao Tianqiang's desire to seek cooperation with the mainland police, Cai Xiaojing did not say anything, even though Luo Rui was the head of the criminal team of the Haijiang Branch.

Luo Rui didn't care much about this matter. Anyway, the person had been caught. He couldn't just go to Hong Kong to seek revenge on this damn Hesheng. Besides, Ye Junhao and his family were powerful figures in Hong Kong. If he went there, he would be committing suicide.

Luo Rui changed the subject and asked, "By the way, where is Sister Tao Yanhong? Are the mother and daughter back?"

Cai Xiaojing had always been puzzled. Luo Rui often asked about Tao Yanhong. Even when he was investigating a case, he would call to ask. She was too busy at the time and had no reason to ask, but now she finally couldn't help it.

"Luo Rui, why do you care so much about Sister Tao and Xiaolan?"

Luo Rui frowned: "Xiao Lan? Sister Tao's daughter is called Xiao Lan?"

Cai Xiaojing didn't answer, just stared at him.

Luo Rui wanted to scratch the back of his head, but because of his injured shoulder, he had to blink to hide his embarrassment.

"Well...Sister Tao rented the house to me, so the day she left, I said I would wait for her to come back and invite her to have dinner with you."

Cai Xiaojing didn't believe it: "You didn't lie to me?"

"Why would I lie to you? But I can't rent that house anymore. After I'm discharged from the hospital, I'll be arranged to recuperate at Mo Wanqiu's house. I've also bought a large flat above their house. Cai...Xiaojing, if you have time, you must come to my housewarming party."

Upon hearing this, Cai Xiaojing's face immediately darkened.

Luo Rui rented a house on the same floor as mine, but he was moving out before they even got along.

Cai Xiaojing sighed in her heart, raised her head, and suppressed her unhappiness.

"By the way, speaking of Sister Tao, when I got home from get off work last night, I saw her and her husband having a big fight."

Luo Rui was shocked: "We had a big fight? Why?"

"I don't know about that. Anyway, Sister Tao has moved out with Xiaolan and said they are getting a divorce soon."

The expression on Luo Rui's face kept changing, and he immediately asked, "What day is today?"

"The day after tomorrow is Christmas, and New Year's Day is coming soon."

"Are you sure Sister Tao and Xiaolan have moved away?"

Cai Xiaojing became more and more confused: "Luo Rui, are you hiding something from me?"

"No, no."

Luo Rui laughed it off, but Cai Xiaojing didn't let him go.

She knew him too well, and he would not pry into other people's family affairs for no reason.

Luo Rui was frightened by his look, so he lied: "It's like this, the night I moved in, I ran into Sister Tao's husband Qu Bo. I heard him talking on the phone in the stairs, saying that he was going to kill his wife, so I was very worried about the safety of Sister Tao and Xiaolan."

Luo Rui finally told the truth. After all, he had kept this matter in his heart for too long. Moreover, he would not live there in the future. Even if Tao Yanhong moved away and history changed, it did not mean that Qu Bo would stop.

Instead of hiding it and being unable to help, it is better to tell Cai Xiaojing about it and let her worry about it.

Sure enough, after she heard this, her spirit immediately changed.

"Are you sure you heard correctly?"

"I must have heard him right. He said he had bought the knife."

In order to make the matter sound more serious, Luo Rui told another lie.

Cai Xiaojing immediately stood up and said, "I'll go investigate this matter. You take a good rest first."

After saying that, she strode away.

Luo Rui looked at her back and sighed.

……

Two days later.

Guangxing City, International Cargo Terminal.

Wei Qunshan stood in front of the customs, and the people accompanying him were all leaders of various ranks in the provincial department.

Even Wu Chaoxiong was present, but these people were all in plain clothes and looked like parents sending their children abroad.

In front of them was a very ordinary young man. Although he was not tall, he looked very sturdy.

He had a ruddy complexion and a newly grown beard on his chin.

He had received an order two days ago that he must keep his beard and not shave it.

Out of his police intuition, he understood that there was a mission for him.

His name is Li Zixiong, from Shenhai City. He is a senior graduate of Guangxing City Criminal Police College. During the summer vacation, he passed the public security joint examination and became a special police officer of Haijiang Branch.

His grades were not the best, but he always won first place in the school's fighting competitions every year.

Last night, he was called to the provincial department and finally understood what his mission was.

He has a clean foundation, good skills, is a deep sea man, and has an inconspicuous appearance.

At this time, Wu Chaoxiong walked up to him and patted his shoulder vigorously: "Zixiong, this time, in addition to completing the mission, you must first protect yourself!"

"Understood, Director Wu."

He wanted to stand at attention and straighten his chest, but was held down by Wu Chaoxiong.

"Remember, you are no longer a policeman. You are a rough man working at the docks. Your name is Huang Yong."

Li Zixiong nodded and looked at his hands. The palms of his hands were rough. These were not calluses caused by moving goods, but from daily exercise.

Wei Qunshan also came over and said to him with a smile: "Zixiong, be careful!"

"Okay, Director Wei."

Bao Tianqiang was getting a little impatient: "Dear directors, please stop chatting. The ship is about to leave."

Wu Chaoxiong turned to look at him, his eyes hard and cold.

"Protect him well. If anything happens to our people, you and Sheng will cease to exist!"

Bao Tianqiang was frightened by the boss's eyes. He immediately patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, Wu...Boss, I will choose myself as the boss when I go back. I will definitely protect this kid and no one will dare to touch him in Hong Kong!"

"Well, let's go."

Li Zixiong, carrying a blue cloth bag on his shoulder, climbed onto the ladder. He looked back as he walked.

Wu Chaoxiong and the others did not leave, but kept staring at him.

After all the personnel were on board, the freighter retracted the boarding ladder.

Soon, the freighter sounded its horn, indicating that it was ready to leave the port.

Wu Chaoxiong and Wei Qunshan then walked back.

Wu Chaoxiong said: "I hope the Hong Kong police can be more effective. If they continue to allow drugs to be smuggled into the mainland, I don't know how many people will be killed."

Wei Qunshan nodded: "I hope everything goes well."

After the freighter left the port, Li Zixiong came to the deck, looked at the disappearing backs of Wu Chaoxiong and Wei Qunshan, then stood at attention and saluted.

The flag fluttered in the wind above his head.
