Detective: From the Police Academy

Chapter 190 The Last Face

[Please be a good police officer and don’t let girls like Aijun be treated unfairly again! ]

After leaving the interrogation room, these words still echoed in Luo Rui's mind for a long time.

It was already completely dark, and the neon lights outside the police station were dazzling.

Du Feng had just rushed back from outside after hearing the news that the murderer had surrendered himself.

He grabbed Luo Rui and asked hurriedly, "Did he confess everything?"

Luo Rui nodded: "All left!"

"No resistance?"

Luo Rui shook his head: "He confessed everything about the four victims. Now, I'll leave it to you to collect the evidence!"

Du Feng patted his shoulder vigorously: "Well done!"

Luo Rui did not comment. He turned his head and looked. The building of Haijiang Branch was solemn and dignified, representing fair law enforcement.

But is this world fair?

Cai Xiaojing did not return to the office immediately. She walked out and caught up with Luo Rui.

"You went back?"

Luo Rui turned his head and looked at her: "Since Zhang Chu has confessed everything, I have nothing to do here, right?"

"No, I mean, are you okay? I think you seem..."

Luo Rui shrugged, took off the ID card from his neck and handed it to Cai Xiaojing.

"Help me return it to Director Wei."

Cai Xiaojing was stunned: "What are you doing?"

Luo Rui said solemnly: "I want to officially put on the uniform and don't want to continue playing this temporary role."

Cai Xiaojing hesitated, then reached out to take it.

"Wait for me for a year, and I will stand shoulder to shoulder with you with dignity!"

Cai Xiaojing nodded vigorously: "Okay! But... you may not be assigned to the Haijiang Branch in the future."

"As long as you are a police officer, it doesn't matter where you are!"

Luo Rui waved to her: "Let's go!"

He walked to the parking lot and drove his BMW towards the city lights.

Luo Rui did not go home immediately, but instead drove aimlessly along the city roads.

It's already eight o'clock in the evening, when the streets are the busiest.

People returning home from get off work, people taking their children shopping, and couples laughing and playing while shopping, all passed by his sight.

When passing by an outdoor barbecue stall, I saw a group of men blowing beer bottles and chatting excitedly. They had drunk a lot of alcohol, and there was a pile of empty beer bottles at their feet.

The three girls sat not far away, eating the barbecue carefully, not daring to look at them any more.

Luo Rui parked the car on the side of the road. As soon as he got out of the car, the proprietress wearing an apron came up to him.

"Boss, what do you want to eat?"

Luo Rui found an empty seat and sat down, then replied, "A few bottles of beer first, no Snow beer, and you can order the rest as you like."

The proprietress nodded in agreement and brought over the beer.

Luo Rui rarely drinks on his own initiative, but tonight, he wants to drink a little.

After waiting for a while, an old man riding an electric scooter came out of the alley and parked his scooter facing the barbecue smoke.

The proprietress came forward again and pointed at Luo Rui: "I'll just sit at that table. You don't have to entertain me."

"Okay, you're welcome." The proprietress turned and left.

When Luo Rui saw the person coming, he immediately stood up and greeted him.

"Gu Suo."

Gu Dayong was wearing plain clothes, and looked like he had just got off work. He laughed, "How come you have time to drink with me? I'm old now, and I drink sleeping tea at night. I can't drink much."

Luo Rui nodded: "I just want to talk to you."

Half an hour ago, he called Gu Dayong and wanted to invite him to dinner. He originally wanted to go to a better place. After all, Gu Dayong had been transferred to the provincial capital for several months, and Luo Rui had not expressed his intention yet.

But Luo Rui was concerned about the three girls sitting at the barbecue stall, so he decided to deal with them here.

Besides, Gu Dayong had already eaten at this time.

After not seeing each other for a few months, I found that there were a lot more white hairs on Mr. Gu's head. After taking up his new position, he had less time to drink health tea.

However, he is in good spirits. No matter how old a person is, as long as he is valued by his superiors, he will have a second life.

Gu Dayong sat down carelessly and patted Luo Rui on the shoulder.

"Long time no see. You've become stronger and more mature. From a distance, you don't look like the high school student you were back then."

Luo Rui smiled slightly, took the wine glass and filled it for him.

"I'm almost twenty, and I'm definitely not the same as before."

Gu Dayong picked up the wine glass and clinked it with Luo Rui. He said that he couldn't drink much, but he drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.

He gave Luo Rui enough face.

Luo Rui also drank up the wine and refilled his glass.

Gu Dayong clicked his tongue twice and looked at him: "What? Did something happen to you?"

Luo Rui shook his head.

Gu Dayong looked around and saw that there was no one around. Luo Rui also chose a location that was as far away from the crowd as possible.

So he asked in a low voice: "Hasn't the person been caught yet?"

The police station in Gu Dayong's jurisdiction also participated in the operation early this morning. He certainly knew what cases the Haijiang Branch had been investigating these days.

"He turned himself in." Luo Rui answered and raised another glass.

"Ah?" Gu Dayong was shocked. "Such an awesome murderer surrendered himself so easily?"

Luo Rui put down his wine glass and nodded. He couldn't say more.

Although Gu Dayong is not a criminal policeman, he has worked at the grassroots level for his entire life. When it comes to understanding human nature, no one understands it better than him.

There must be something hidden here, but he couldn't ask.

He had never seen a serious criminal who had killed several people and fooled the police and then voluntarily surrender himself. At least he had never seen one.

At this point, Gu Dayong also realized that Luo Rui must have come to him for this matter.

But due to discipline, the two couldn't chat for long.

Gu Dayong also drank a cup, and then asked: "I heard that you are going to take the joint entrance examination?"

Luo Rui replied: "January next year."

"Okay, you've only been in college for a short time, and you're about to graduate. When I first met you in the inn, I knew you were a smart guy. But I didn't expect that you would solve so many major cases along the way, so much so that I even doubted that I had worked as a police officer for a lifetime and it was all in vain. Anyway, you have to keep working hard, and I'm looking forward to the day when you put on the uniform."

Luo Rui burped and looked at Gu Dayong: "Captain Gu, you were the first one I saluted the day I put on the uniform."

Gu Dayong quickly reminded him in a low voice: "You are not very conscious, don't dare to say that!"

Luo Rui blinked and drank another glass: "I was wrong!"

"Chief Gu, have you ever thought about transferring to the criminal police team?"

Gu Dayong sighed and replied, "Of course I don't want to. When I was young, I could dream. It is the dream of every policeman to arrest criminals personally, and I am no exception. However, it is also good to be a local policeman at the grassroots level. At least I won't see such shady things. I usually help people with household registration and find lost pets...

The older people get, the more they feel that being a normal person is best. Look at Captain Chen Hao, he stays up late every day and his mind is always tense. His body will collapse.

Chen Hao is a very dedicated person. Because of his wife, he has been deep in the darkness, trying to find the light in his heart.

Oh, let's not talk about him. Luo Rui, after you pass the joint exam, you will definitely be valued by the higher-ups, but I still advise you to train at the grassroots level for a while, it will only benefit you, not harm you."

Luo Rui nodded: "I understand..."

"As long as you understand, come on, let's continue drinking!"

Gu Dayong was in high spirits. While drinking, he talked incessantly about his past work experiences, especially the major cases in Linjiang City in the early years. Although he was not directly involved, he also helped out on the periphery. At that time, he encountered several criminals fleeing into the mountains, and the police mobilized countless people and policemen to search the mountains.

At that time, Gu Dayong and a group of local policemen surrounded the criminals and arrested a criminal with a steel fork. This was the first time he received a medal of honor since he started working. As a result, he was later promoted to the position of director of the police station.

The position of station chief is something that many police officers can only dream of throughout their entire lives.

After drinking for a while, the three girls from the barbecue stall left safely. During that time, the drunkards at that table did not cause any trouble and were quite well behaved.

Luo Rui had drunk a lot of alcohol, so he called Mo Wanqiu to come and drive.

Mo Wanqiu has a generous personality. When he sees Gu Dayong, he wants to have a chat with the director who arrested him back then, but he is stopped by Old Gu.

Of course he did not forget that Mo Wanqiu was drunk in a bar and it was Luo Rui who carried her to a small hotel. The two were caught by him during his anti-prostitution raid, and that was how the three of them met.

Luo Rui drank quite a bit of wine tonight. If Mo Wanqiu drank more, the two of them might end up in the hotel and do something stupid again.

Mo Wanqiu agreed with this, so she had no choice but to take a bottle of Coke, pretend it was wine, and drink it with Gu Dayong.

When leaving, Gu Dayong rode his electric bike and disappeared into the alley where he came from. Even in winter, one could still see white and tender thighs and slender arms in the alley.

Old Gu's face turned red, and he rode alone for thousands of miles with great familiarity.

He would glance sideways from time to time, thinking that he had to do a quick sweep so that the station would have funds for handling cases this year.

If we wait until those greedy wolves from the Public Security Brigade get there first, we'll be left with nothing.

Mo Wanqiu drank a whole bottle of Coke and burped while driving. The sound was like a rooster crowing, and even Luo Rui's BMW twitched intermittently.

Time flies, and half a year has passed in a flash.

In the past few months, Luo Rui has been working non-stop between school and the shooting range in the suburbs, day after day, month after month.

In addition, he continued to train himself, and became proficient in the use of the dagger. He even learned sign language and specially invited Lao Huang to teach him.

Mo Liguo stopped faster than Daniel Wu and cut losses in time, achieving half of his total stock profit target. He used Luo Rui's ID card to apply for a card in each of the five major banks, with 50 million in cash in each card.

He himself also made a lot of money. Although he was thinner, he was in good spirits. He vowed solemnly that when Mo Wanqiu and Luo Rui got married in the future, he would give their daughter a villa and a sports car as a dowry.

Even Chen Hao's account had an extra three million. When Luo Rui transferred the money to Chen Hao's bank card, the first thing the other party said was: "Luo Rui, are you robbing? I gave you five thousand yuan, and you return three million?"

Luo Rui was too lazy to explain to him and told him to pay more attention to the stock market six months ago and not to always focus on the case at hand.

Chen Hao immediately searched the Internet and dispelled his doubts. The money was too much and he always felt uneasy.

Five thousand yuan in exchange for three million?
This is a fucking fantasy!

Chen Hao suddenly became the richest criminal policeman in Linjiang City.

He went home and told his wife about this, and Chen Shuhui was also shocked.

The family lives on Chen Hao's income. Not only do they have to raise children, but they also have to take care of a sick elderly person. The monthly expenses are not enough. She has borrowed from all her relatives and friends, but she still has no money to pay back.

The cigarettes Chen Hao smoked every day were all five-yuan Hongmei cigarettes. Even so, he limited himself to ten cigarettes a day.

The three million really solved Chen Hao's urgent problem. Moreover, now that he had the money, he no longer had to worry about investigating the case at hand.

The more He Chunhua looked at Luo Rui, the more he liked him. If it weren't for him, how could his family's assets have increased several times.

Moreover, Luo Rui is now very busy every day, constantly improving himself, and is a good guy.

He and Mo Wanqiu only met at dinner every night.

The kind of thing that young people experience for the first time and become addicted to sex did not happen.

The gap between Mo Wanqiu's thighs is still very tight.

During the summer vacation, most of the students at the Criminal Police Academy went home, but Luo Rui still came to school every day to learn from several professors.

With the help of the super memory since his rebirth, he learned very quickly. The professors were particularly satisfied. They were not satisfied with his rapid progress, but they were satisfied with the training fees that Luo Rui paid every month.

The old professors’ monthly teaching fee is equivalent to their three months’ salary.

Luo Rui's best subject is [Police Command and Tactics], followed by [Criminal Investigation Technology] and [Intelligence Science]. As for forensics and criminal science and technology, Luo Rui usually teaches them on his own in the library. He doesn't seek to be proficient in all of them, but he does learn a little so that he can use them in the future.

Secondly, the front desk clerk at the suburban shooting range was very familiar with Luo Rui.

Whenever he came, the girl at the front desk would greet him: "Brother Luo, how many shots do you want today?"

The money Luo Rui spent on bullets at the shooting range was a considerable sum.

His marksmanship is now on par with that of Liao Kang, the former captain of the anti-drug brigade. He has also learned to change magazines with one hand. The shooting range holds shooting competitions every month, but they are all dead targets and there is no technical content. Luo Rui always takes first place.

Not long ago, he found Wei Qunshan, took a back door, and shot at a moving target at the special police training range, and then he became addicted.

Luo Rui spent a huge amount of money, hired a retired special police instructor, rented a venue, and conducted a fully closed training for a month.

His training methods are based on the usual combat methods of special police, such as rescuing hostages, sniping criminals, etc.

In this way, Luo Rui spent more than five million yuan in half a year. In addition to his own strong learning ability, he also spent a lot of money.

One day in August, when Cai Xiaojing saw Luo Rui again in the cafeteria of the Criminal Police College, she almost didn't recognize him.

After not seeing him for half a year, Luo Rui became as dark as coal. Not only that, he had grown taller, now 1.85 meters tall, and his arms were full of muscles.

If I have to make a metaphor, it would be that he went from White Louis Koo to Black Louis Koo.

Luo Rui exudes a mature and masculine aura from head to toe, completely different from those old-timers in the criminal police team.

In the past six months, Luo Rui has been to the Haijiang Branch once. Du Feng has become fat as a ball. It's not that the bureau is idle and there are not many cases. Instead, as the captain of the criminal police brigade, he works day and night and has irregular meals. When he is stalking a suspect, he has to go there personally and stay in the car for a week.

He eats, sleeps, and even pees in the car. There are several Pocari Sweat bottles piled under the driver's seat, all filled with yellow liquid.

During the summer vacation, the cafeteria was still open. The auntie who served the food was replaced by an uncle, but the way he shook the spoon was still the same, and there was not much meat in the bowl.

Luo Rui prepared a meal for Cai Xiaojing, and they sat face to face, eating and chatting.

"There haven't been any major cases in the bureau recently, right?"

Cai Xiaojing looked at him, and then looked at him again. In fact, she had looked at him countless times. She always felt that Luo Rui had changed in the past six months.

It’s not that he has become ugly, but his temperament has undergone a drastic change. He has become more mature, stable, and more manly.

The young man, who was less than 20 years old, looked like he was 25 or 26 years old. Cai Xiaojing's heart was pounding because she was 26 years old.

If the two of them were walking on the street, no one would think of Luo Rui as the younger brother, but the older brother.

Bigger brothers are good, bigger brothers are better...

Luo Rui saw her looking at him, he blinked and wiped the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand: "Is there rice on my face?"

"Ah? No, no rice grains." Cai Xiaojing lowered her head and moved the broccoli on the plate.

Luo Rui continued to wolf down his food. Cai Xiaojing came to the school to look for him. He didn't know why, so he asked again: "Is everything alright at the bureau?"

Cai Xiaojing became serious and replied, "They are all minor cases. I came here mainly to tell you that Zhang Chu's case has been sentenced."

Luo Rui froze. He hadn't paid attention to the news in the past six months. It was 07, and it wasn't like the future, where a cell phone would let you know what was going on. Cell phones nowadays could access the Internet, but when he opened that damned Mobile Dream Network, Luo Rui wanted to throw his phone down.

He chewed a few mouthfuls of rice, then paused and asked, "When will it be carried out?"

"Tomorrow morning."

"Hmm." Luo Rui continued to shovel rice into his mouth, but he didn't touch the food on the plate.

Cai Xiaojing added: "Zhang Chu wrote me a letter, saying he wanted to meet you."

"okay, I get it."

"Do you want to see Ai-kun?"

"What?" Luo Rui raised his head.

Cai Xiaojing said: "We found Aijun's grandfather and learned what happened that year. The situation is exactly the same as Zhang Chu said, without any discrepancy.

Not only Ai Jun, but also Peng Li, was bullied by Qiao Dahai. In order to get money from his grandfather, Qiao Jun provided Qiao Dahai with...

I have a photo of Ai Jun here, would you like to see it?"

Luo Rui sniffed and wiped his mouth with a napkin.

He didn't say anything, but Cai Xiaojing took out her cell phone, selected an old photo from the screen and handed it to Luo Rui.

He took the phone and looked at the girl in the photo. Just as Zhang Chu described, Ai Jun had two long braids, wore a plaid shirt, and a pair of green Liberation shoes.

This is probably Ai Jun's best outfit. Every time she goes into the city, she wears a plaid shirt.

If this thing had not happened back then, what would Ai Jun be like now?
But there are no ifs in the real world.

Luo Rui returned the phone to Cai Xiaojing: "Captain Cai, please tell the detention center about this. I'm going to see Zhang Chu now."

Cai Xiaojing stood up and said, "Captain Du's work is all given to me. I help him process documents every day. He goes out on field trips, and I don't have anything to do. I'll go with you."

Du Feng’s role model is Chen Hao, and he also wants to quickly gain a foothold in the Haijiang Branch.

Luo Rui did not refuse. When the two arrived at the detention center, the western sky was already filled with the summer sunset.

There is no one left in Zhang Chu's family. His father died of cancer three years ago, so no one has come to visit him in the past six months.

However, in the detention center, Luo Rui met a doctor and volunteers from the Disabled Persons' Federation who came to visit Zhang Chu.

After some inquiries, Luo Rui and Cai Xiaojing found out that Zhang Chu had signed an organ donation agreement. After his death, all his usable organs would be donated. As for his body, he wanted to be buried with Ai Jun.

After obtaining the consent of Ai Jun’s grandfather, volunteers will send his ashes back to Ai Jun’s hometown.

Just like half a year ago, when Zhang Chu came out and saw Luo Rui, he grinned.

He raised his handcuffed right hand, pointed at Luo Rui, and then raised his thumb, meaning "hello."

Luo Rui also made the same gesture and continued to make several more gestures.

Meaning: "Are you okay in there?"

Zhang Chu was very surprised. He opened his eyes wide. At the instruction of the supervisor, he sat in the chair and started making gestures.

“Have you learned sign language?”

Luo Rui gestured: "I just learned it."

Zhang Chu: "I am very happy."

Luo Rui remained silent and gestured: "You want to see me? Do you have something to say to me?"

Zhang Chu gestured: "I just want to see you. I think you are different from others. In fact, I want to tell you that when you rescued that girl, I did not surrender to the police immediately because I went to see Ai Jun that day."

Luo Rui nodded and gestured: "I've seen her photos, she is very beautiful."

Zhang Chu grinned and stopped gesturing, and both sides fell silent.

After a long while, Luo Rui gestured and asked, "Do you have anything else to say?"

Zhang Chu raised his head and opened his mouth solemnly. He tried hard to say two words: "Thank you!"

His voice was dry and hoarse, not like the sound made by a human, but he tried his best to say the word.

Luo Rui's heart skipped a beat. He didn't know what Zhang Chu wanted to express. Why should he thank him?

He had no choice but to remain silent.

The visiting time had come and Zhang Chu was taken away by the prison guard. Before entering the room, he turned around and took one last look at Luo Rui.

After coming out of the detention center, Luo Rui felt very upset.

Zhang Chu really just wanted to see me.

He may have been too lonely for so many years. Deaf-mute people also have a strong desire to express themselves and hope to become a normal person.

Luo Rui sent Cai Xiaojing back to the Haijiang Branch and then drove home.

He took a chair and sat on the terrace all night, quietly waiting for dawn.

Just as the sky began to turn pale, he seemed to hear the crisp sound of gunfire.

Birds flew in early in the morning and landed on the railing of the terrace.

Luo Rui looked at it quietly, muttering to himself: "Be a good policeman!"
