Detective: From the Police Academy

Chapter 198 Establishment of a Task Force

Early the next morning.

As Luo Rui walked into the Wuyuan Police Station, a row of green trucks drove past on the road behind him, raising a cloud of dust that obscured the rays of the rising sun.

He covered his mouth and walked up the stairs without looking back.

Zheng Rong, Yang Bo and Peng Jie were already sitting on the metal bench outside the door. When they saw him, their faces became serious.

The three of them didn't sleep well the whole night, and kept thinking about what happened last night.

After the dust settled, Luo Rui brushed off the dust on his body.

"Why? No morning meeting today?"

Zheng Rong raised his head and said, "Pang is ill. He has tuberculosis."

Luo Rui narrowed his eyes slightly. Before he could say anything, Peng Jie beside him complained, "We can't go on like this. In the past six months, our deputy director has taken leave to recuperate, Director Zheng has advanced lung cancer, and now Director Pang has also fallen ill from tuberculosis. The Wuyuan Sand Mine is the culprit. We are too close to them and we have to eat their dust every day. If this continues, we will all be in trouble!"

Yang Bo also agreed, "Damn it, I think that bastard Gu Zhiliang did it on purpose. This big truck goes back and forth in front of our door several times a day. There are obviously other ways to go, but it has to hang around in front of our door!

Zheng Suo, is there nothing we can do to him?"

Zheng Rong was also very distressed. The institute had reported the matter to the higher authorities a long time ago, but had never received a response.

It’s easy to imagine what role Gu Zhiliang played behind the scenes. This bastard is so evil!

Zheng Rong sighed, and he looked inside the door. Seeing that no one was paying attention to this side, he whispered to Luo Rui: "Boy, what are you thinking?"

Seeing this, Peng Jie and Yang Bo quickly stood up and gave their seats to Luo Rui. Then, the two stood at the door with their backs to Zheng Rong and Luo Rui, blocking their figures, while keeping an eye on other police officers who wanted to approach.

Luo Rui grinned. These two people were still very alert.

"Master, please don't worry about this matter."

Hearing this, Yang Bo and Peng Jie turned around and stared at him.

Zheng Rong said seriously: "What? Did you report it to the higher-ups?"

Luo Rui nodded solemnly: "Didn't you say that? This matter is too big, we can't handle it, why don't we hand it over to the higher-ups and you guys stay out of it."

Zheng Rong immediately asked, "What about you?"

"Me? I have to take some time off."

Zheng Rong felt that Luo Rui's decision was correct, but for some reason, when he heard that he could no longer interfere, the light in his eyes disappeared. He leaned back in his chair and touched his trouser pocket, but did not find a cigarette.

Peng Jie and Yang Bo also sighed slightly, with disappointment on their faces. People are like this, when you are asked to go fishing, you feel the wind and sun and don't want to go, but you are dragged there by force, and when you see the big fish that swam past your buoy being caught by someone else's hook, you can't help but feel very upset.

Luo Rui noticed their expressions and said, "Master, Brother Jie, Brother Bo, don't worry, you won't get away with the credit. I have reported everything we found last night to the higher-ups. When this is over, you will get the credit."

"Okay! Let's leave it at that." Zheng Rong smacked his lips and said, "Gu Zhiliang has become a big crocodile. We can't interfere with him anymore."

Although he said this, he felt somewhat unwilling in his heart.

Luo Rui didn't try to comfort her anymore. He just sat up straight and stared at the dust slowly dissipating at the door.

Not long after, a familiar off-road vehicle drove into the yard and even drifted in a showy manner, causing the dissipated dust to be raised again.

Zheng Rong cursed and said, "Why is this guy here again?"

Before the car stopped, Li Nong opened the door, jumped onto the stairs in three or two steps, and looked at Luo Rui with a smile on his face.

"Ha, you've kept it a secret from me!"

Luo Rui blinked.

Li Nong patted his shoulder vigorously and said with a smile: "Don't act, I know everything, I have read your file, Luo Rui, you are really awesome!
I never thought that you helped our police solve several major cases in Linjiang City, especially the jewelry store and escort truck robberies last year. Wow, you were able to rescue all the hostages by yourself. Not to mention, you also caught X! You cleared Director Hu's name!
Awesome! You used to be the criminal team leader of the Linjiang City Criminal Police Brigade and the Haijiang Division. I said you must not be a rookie, but I didn’t expect you are not even a veteran. You are a Dapeng! "

Suddenly, Luo Rui realized: "Are you the local tyrant?"

Li Nong's eyes paused for a moment.

Luo Rui stood up, pulled him aside, and whispered, "Chen Hao is looking for you?"

Li Nong nodded vigorously: "Chen Zhi came to see me in the early morning, and he told me everything. You want to catch a big crocodile!"

"Where are the others now?"

Li Nong replied: "I'm going to transfer people and equipment!"

His voice was very loud, and he did not avoid Zheng Rong and the others.

But Zheng Rong, Yang Bo and Peng Jie all pursed their lips, looking up into the void in the sky, their expressions clearly showing loss.

Li Nong walked up to them and said, "Yang Bo, Peng Jie, don't be so miserable. I know that you found the clues with Luo Rui last night. I have already asked Captain Chen for instructions. If you agree, sign a confidentiality agreement and participate in the operation together."

Yang Bo and Peng Jie were shocked. Is this something a local police officer can do?

The two looked at each other, with some disbelief in their eyes.

Li Nong continued, "Hurry up, don't waste my time. If you agree or not, just say it!"

In fact, Li Nong had no choice. What Chen Hao meant was that Shahe County would set up a special task force soon. People were the first necessity, but they could not be transferred from the county bureau for fear that the news would leak out and the whole thing would be ruined.

But they had to find local police officers, and they had to be reliable, because they were the only ones who were most familiar with the streets and alleys of Shahe County, making it easier to track and investigate.

Although Yang Bo and Peng Jie are local police officers, they have been in the police force for many years. Both of them are quite skilled, young, and have a clean background. Besides, Wuyuan Police Station has little to do, and generally no one pays attention to this small third-level police station on the edge of the county town.

"I am willing!"

"I do too!"

The two fishermen, Yang Bo and Peng Jie, danced with excitement when they saw the big fish return under their hooks.

However, Zheng Rong looked unhappy.

The most important thing for a police officer throughout his life is to be shameless. You have to be like this towards both your superiors and subordinates in order to get ahead.

So, he stared at Li Nong and said through gritted teeth: "Captain Li, have you forgotten someone?"

Li Nong looked at him with concern: "Zheng, my brother Zheng, please don't get involved. I have read your retirement report. You have advanced lung cancer. You should go to the hospital for chemotherapy as soon as possible. Your health is important. Don't waste time."

Zheng Rong was angry and stood up from his chair.

"Damn it, I can beat ten of them! Do you believe it? If you don't believe me, let's compare them. I'm telling you, although I'm just a local police officer, I've also arrested several serious criminals!"

Seeing that he was anxious, Luo Rui immediately advised: "Master, Captain Li is right, you should take a good rest. Don't worry, Gu Zhiliang will be caught. I promise you!"

Zheng Rong was relentless, his eyes reddened. "Don't even think about abandoning me. More than a decade ago, I was the one who sent Gu Zhiliang to prison. This time, I want to see him brought to justice! Even if I die, I want to die at my post!"

Li Nong and Luo Rui looked at each other, and the latter nodded slightly.

Li Nong said: "Okay, I'll talk to Chen Zhi."

"Okay, where are you guys, Pang Suo? You need to find a reason to take a long vacation!"

At this time, Zheng Rong smiled and said, "Now, this institute is under my control."

……

On that day, cars from Linjiang City, as well as provincial and municipalities, drove down the highway in Shahe County at different times.

These cars are very ordinary and no different from other vehicles on the road, making them difficult to detect.

They arrived at a garden house in the northwest of Shahe County one after another.

The house is surrounded by bamboo forests and trees, giving it great privacy.

This villa has three floors and a large yard. There is a large fish pond in front of the yard, and a road leads to the yard from the left side of the fish pond.

If you go to the Housing Authority to check, you will find that the owner of this garden house is a local named Yuan Biao, and it has been vacant for many years.

Towards evening, Luo Rui drove into the yard with Zheng Rong, Peng Jie and Yang Bo.

Luo Rui just picked up this Mitsubishi SUV from a used car dealership today. It has strong power and can run on both dirt and sandy roads.

After getting off the car, Luo Rui saw two people setting up surveillance lines outside the door.

Luo Rui didn't know them, but before coming, he had already sent a message to report his car to Chen Hao, so he was not stopped before entering the yard.

Peng Jie and Yang Bo were very excited as it was their first time to join the task force. They looked left and right excitedly.

Zheng Rong took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it in a cool manner.

He had secretly taken the cigarettes from Luo Rui's dormitory, because the message conveyed by Li Nong was that the members of the task force must eat and sleep in the villa, and be isolated from the outside world except when participating in operations.

Luo Rui and the other three were carrying their own suitcases.

At this time, a man walked out of the gate, saw Luo Rui, and immediately trotted over.

Yang Bo and Peng Jie both opened their eyes wide, because this woman was so beautiful. She was about the same age as them, but her heroic figure and extremely beautiful face immediately attracted their attention.

Even Old Zheng, who was holding a Zhonghua cigarette in his mouth, said with a sigh: "What a pretty girl!"

Luo Rui saw the person coming and waved.

"Captain Cai, you're here too?"

Cai Xiaojing smiled slightly and pushed the hair in front of her eyes behind her ears: "I came here on orders..."

She didn't finish her words and glanced at Zheng Rong and the others.

Luo Rui quickly introduced her.

When they heard that Cai Xiaojing was the deputy captain of criminal investigation of Haijiang Branch, their eyes changed again.

Zheng Rong was a little surprised that such a young and beautiful girl could hold a high position, but he did not have any other emotions.

But Yang Bo and Peng Jie's eyes flashed with inferiority, and the confidence they had just shown by shaking their shoulders collapsed instantly. The woman in front of them was a world apart from their positions.

Cai Xiaojing greeted them sweetly, and then said, "Your rooms have been assigned. Please follow me."

Luo Rui and his group immediately followed her.

After entering the house, Luo Rui found that the first floor had been cleared. A small conference table was placed in the middle of the large living room. Several police officers were organizing equipment inside. The other rooms on the first floor were also used as office areas.

The same thing happened on the second floor. Luo Rui saw an acquaintance on this floor. This person was Liao Kang. He greeted Luo Rui but did not come forward. Instead, he stood aside with Chen Hao, discussing something.

The third floor is the dormitory, with a total of three rooms. Because it was not enough, the living room on the third floor was also cleared out and six camp beds were placed there.

Luo Rui, Yang Bo and Peng Jie's beds are here.

As for Zheng Rong, because of his age, he was assigned to a room and slept in the same room with Chen Hao and others.

One of the rooms was a girls' dormitory, and a girl was making her bed inside.

When she saw Luo Rui, she immediately puffed up her face.

"Luo Rui, I heard you got rich?"

Luo Rui saw Yang Xiaorui and smiled slightly.

"Don't talk nonsense. The people's police serve the people, not to make money."

Yang Xiaorui rolled her eyes at him and said, "Just brag. You are the richest police officer I have ever seen. Mo Wanqiu even told me that you bought her a large flat."

Upon hearing this, Luo Rui knew that Yang Xiaorui and Mo Wanqiu must have had a lot of contact in private, and they seemed to have a very good relationship.

Cai Xiaojing interrupted, "Xiao Rui, stop chatting."

She turned to look at Luo Rui: "There will be a meeting on the first floor in half an hour."

After saying that, she turned and went downstairs to pack her things.

Luo Rui put his suitcase next to his bed. He only brought some clothes for changing, but mostly socks and underwear because he was too lazy to wash them.

In addition, there was a dagger in the suitcase. It was a military dagger that Mo Liguo had someone get for him.

In the past year, Luo Rui has been using this dagger for close combat and close assault training.

In addition to his right hand, he is also very skilled with his left hand. If he were to find an imaginary enemy, Liao Kang's shooting skills would be comparable to his, but if he used a dagger in close combat, Luo Rui could deal with him in minutes.

At this moment, he put down the suitcase, took out a dagger sheath, tied it to his right calf, then took out a dagger from the suitcase, turned it around in his hand twice, and then skillfully inserted it into the dagger sheath.

Seeing Luo Rui's dagger, Peng Jie immediately came over and whispered, "Brother Luo, do you think the task force will equip us with guns? If I use knives to fight those drug dealers, I'm afraid it will be like hitting a rock with an egg."

Yang Bo took out a towel, put it on his shoulders, and squatted down: "Yes, these intruders are not ordinary criminals. They know that they will be sentenced to death if they are caught, so these birdmen are fearless. If we don't have guns, we can't fight them with bare hands, right?"

Luo Rui has also thought about this. He will definitely be equipped with guns, but it depends on what specific work he is responsible for. The firepower of the police will definitely not be weaker than that of the criminals.

"Don't worry, the task force will definitely consider it and won't take risks with our lives."

Peng Jie chuckled and said, "I only fired a few rounds during my internship. If I were given a gun, then..."

Before he could finish his words, he saw the girl named Yang Xiaorui walking towards him, and he quickly shut up.

Yang Xiaorui asked: "Brothers, can I talk to Luo Rui alone?"

Yang Bo and Peng Jie looked at each other and nodded quickly. They walked towards the bathroom, looking back from time to time.

The two people who didn't know the truth gave Luo Rui a thumbs up. This guy was capable, rich, and popular with women. Two female police officers were surrounding him, and one of them was actually the captain of the criminal police brigade. His charm was unmatched.

Luo Rui was a little surprised. Yang Xiaorui's expression was very formal, unlike her usual cheerful self.

Seeing that there was no one around, Yang Xiaorui sat down on the camp bed and whispered, "Luo Rui, let me tell you something."

"you say?"

Luo Rui was complaining in his heart, could it be that Mo Wanqiu had an affair? She couldn't tell him, so she asked Yang Xiaorui to tell him?

Unexpectedly, Yang Xiaorui whispered, "In Huining City, there was a former captain of the anti-drug detachment named Cai Donglai. Do you know him?"

Luo Rui frowned slightly and shook his head. He didn't understand what Yang Xiaorui was trying to say.

Huining City is not far from Linjiang City, and the two cities are at the border.

But this person’s surname is Cai?

Luo Rui seemed to have thought of something...

Yang Xiaorui continued, "Such a task force was also established a few years ago, but the location was Huining City. That time the task force was larger, with more personnel and more professional equipment. The target of the investigation was not a small crocodile like Gu Zhiliang, but a giant crocodile!"

Luo Rui couldn't help but ask: "Could it be Xianlin Fisheries?"

Yang Xiaorui nodded: "Yes, it's Zhang Jun, Gu Zhiliang's elder brother."

"Why do you know so much?"

Yang Xiaorui glanced at the stairs and replied, "Because I had just joined the police force, my background was the cleanest, and I was proficient in using computers, so I was assigned to the special case team to handle logistics work. My senior sister was with me."

"Luo Rui, Cai Donglai is my senior sister's father! He was murdered because of his investigation into Zhang Jun. The driver who hit the man killed him and then crashed into another truck and committed suicide. That's why this case has not been solved yet."

Luo Rui's heart sank. He and Cai Xiaojing had known each other for such a long time and knew that she came from a police family, but he did not expect that her father would be murdered because of investigating Zhang Jun.

"Luo Rui, this matter has always been a thorn in Senior Sister's heart. The reason why she has never had a relationship for so many years and has been working hard is that she wants to catch the murderer who killed her father. You are so capable, so please help her!"

Luo Rui glanced at Yang Xiaorui and said, "Captain Cai's father died in the line of duty. We should have investigated this thoroughly. This is what all police officers should do, not just me!"

Yang Xiaorui glared at him: "I knew you would say that, but I still believe in your ability. In short, you have to understand that what we are investigating now is not an ordinary homicide case. The previous cases were all small Karami cases, and what we are investigating now is a major case!"

"It's far more than that..."

Luo Rui murmured in a low voice, Wei Qunshan said the dagger can be unsheathed, and the old fox would not say this if he wanted to pull out the radish without bringing out the mud.

The task force is divided into three levels.

The lower-level investigators, such as Yang Bo and Peng Jie, only knew to investigate Gu Zhiliang's suspected illegal activities such as drug trafficking.

Those who were a little more informed, such as Zheng Rong and Yang Xiaorui, knew that behind Gu Zhiliang was Zhang Jun, a big boss of Xianlin Fisheries, who was the real tycoon.

But the senior members of the task force are all in the atmosphere. In addition to Zhang Jun, there are those people behind Zhang Jun. They are the towering trees and the vast ocean. Without them, how could these big and small crocodiles dare to be so arrogant.

Everyone is playing chess, gambling, and fighting a life-and-death battle.

Luo Rui sighed in his heart. Yang Xiaorui was right. This case was very different from the previous ones. Not only was it difficult to solve, but it was also very dangerous.

But no matter what, the dagger will be unsheathed one day, and Luo Rui no longer thinks about it.

When night fell, in the meeting room on the first floor of the villa, the doors and windows were closed and the curtains were drawn tightly to prevent any light from leaking out.

There weren't enough chairs in the conference room, so many people were standing against the wall.

There were about fifty people in total, staring solemnly at the few people in front of the conference table.

They are Chen Hao, Liao Kang, Li Nong, and two senior police chiefs from the provincial department.

Luo Rui learned from Chen Hao that the person sitting at the head of the conference table was a big shot from Imperial City. His surname was Zhang and his name was Zhang Zheng.

He is short, but has a solemn expression and a pair of particularly sharp eyes.

He tapped the table with his knuckles and said, "Hello, I'm Zhang Zheng, I'm the leader of this special task force, and Comrade Chen Hao and Comrade Qian Daming are deputy leaders.

As you can see, there are no name tags on the conference table, and the names of the task force members are not allowed to appear in this house!

Taking advantage of this time, everyone please introduce yourselves.

There are a lot of people, and you have to remember them all, so you must get familiar with each other as quickly as possible!"

Chen Hao was the first to stand up and introduce himself, followed by Liao Kang, Cai Xiaojing and others...

These people are engaged in different types of police work, including criminal investigation, drug enforcement, technical personnel, and several special police officers in plain clothes, all of whom were carefully selected.

In comparison, the Wuyuan Police Station does not seem to be so capable.

Zheng Yuan was more or less still holding the position of acting director, but Yang Bo and Peng Jie were just small policemen. They stood up with red faces, introduced themselves, and quickly retreated to the corner to hide themselves.

Luo Rui had the lowest position and hadn't even got his police officer license yet, so he was the last one to introduce himself.

"My name is Luo Rui, and I'm a trainee police officer at Wuyuan Police Station."

When they heard his name, those who knew him laughed out loud, such as Yang Xiaorui, Zheng Rong and the other trio, while those who didn't know him frowned slightly.

Four people from the Wuyuan Police Station came at once. The first three were fine, after all, they had been police officers for some time. But the young man in front of him was just a trainee police officer. What qualifications did he have to attend this meeting?

The members of the task force who did not know Luo Rui's background were all transferred from other cities and counties. Among them was a man from Huining City's anti-drug detachment named Qian Daming, who served as deputy team leader of the task force.

The man was almost fifty years old. He frowned slightly, looked at Zhang Zheng, and whispered, "Team Leader Zhang, why do trainee police officers need this too?"

At this time, Zhang Zheng was looking at Luo Rui with interest.

Hearing this, he raised his eyebrows: "This Luo Rui is well-known. Your Huining City is so close to Linjiang City, how come you have never heard of his name?"

Qian Daming shook his head: "Team Leader Zhang, I'm a drug enforcement officer. I only have eyes for drug dealers. I rarely ask about other things. Is there something special about this young man?"

Zhang Zheng glanced at Cai Xiaojing who was standing nearby. "Go ask your cousin, she knows much more than I do."

Cai Xiaojing happened to be looking over there, so she hurried forward and whispered something to her uncle.

After hearing this, Qian Daming's eyes widened. His daughter Qian Xiao had been shouting that she liked a student from the same school, and was very much in love with him, saying how great and awesome the student was, how many major cases he had solved, and that he had skipped from his freshman year to his senior year. Could it be this guy?
At this moment, Luo Rui looked at him with a slight smile on his face.

Qian Daming was suddenly stunned and had the urge to go forward and hit someone.
