Detective: From the Police Academy

Chapter 240: The Fisherman and the Massacre
"Special Case Criminal Team?"

"Yes!"

Zhu Yong and Hu Changyu looked at each other, and then looked at Luo Rui who was sitting under the parasol.

Wei Qunshan did not interrupt, but stared at the fishing float on the water.

This place is a natural lake on the outskirts of Guangxing City.

The lake is surrounded by lush vegetation and beautiful scenery.

There is a bamboo building opposite the lake, and a bamboo trestle spanning the two ends of the lake is built in front of the door.

The autumn wind ruffled the surface of the river, and a hummingbird flew up from the grass and flapped its wings on the river.

Hu Changyu asked, "It is under the jurisdiction of Shahe County Bureau?"

Without waiting for Luo Rui to answer, Zhu Yong nodded: "It must be under the jurisdiction of the lower level, otherwise it will become a special case team. According to the regulations, we are not allowed to have such a team. Only when a special case occurs, we can draw investigators from different regions to investigate."

Luo Rui frowned, touched the helmet on his head, and asked, "So there's no hope?"

Zhu Yong shook his head. "Not impossible. If it's in a prefecture-level city, it's possible. After all, there are many cases and the bureau has many resources. Shahe County is too small and there are few cases. If we gather all the people, wouldn't it be a waste of talent?"

"No, leader, our special criminal team is not limited to handling cases in one place. Our Haidong Province is vast and has a large population. There are too many cases. We can handle cases across regions."

Hu Changyu laughed and pointed at Luo Rui and said, "Boy, you are too naive. The special criminal team you want to set up is no different from a special case team.

Think about it, only when there are cases that cannot be handled, or cases with a bad social impact, will people ask higher-ups to send people to assist in the investigation. Other ordinary cases are their own affairs, and no one is willing to let outsiders interfere.

Unless the local county bureau can't handle it, they find someone to take the blame. What you did is specifically to make someone else take the blame."

Zhu Yong also agreed: "Old Hu is right. Unless you are a senior police chief in a provincial department or ministry, even then, they will not let you in with a team."

At this time, Wei Qunshan, who had been silent, said slowly: "Don't think about it. Wait until you move up a level and become a little more capable. Then it won't be too late to talk about this. After all, you are still so young."

After listening to the three bosses, Luo Rui pointed to his chest and said in a shocking voice: "Am I not awesome now? I have solved several major cases in a row, and I have won the first-class merit, and there are several medals of honor waiting to be awarded to me."

Wei Qunshan glanced at him and said, "You are awesome, so why are you wearing a helmet?"

"Isn't it to protect you?"

"You also know the wicked things you did. You wanted to poach my technical investigation team leader, criminal police deputy team leader, and the top students I just trained at the police academy. You are such a vicious person!"

Wearing a helmet was indeed uncomfortable, so Luo Rui simply took it off and held it in his hand.

Not long after, Wei Qunshan shouted and immediately left the stool.

Luo Rui's mind raced, and he quickly picked up the scoop net at his feet.

Wei Qunshan chuckled and pulled the fishing rod upwards with all his strength.

A few splashes of water immediately appeared on the surface of the lake, and then the fishing rod bent into a semicircle.

Hu Changyu clicked his tongue twice: "Old Wei, your fish is not small!"

Zhu Yong also said: "We have found the pickled fish for lunch today."

Wei Qunshan didn't bother to talk. He pulled the fishing rod tightly and loosely, and a black fish weighing nearly ten weight was pulled out of the lake, swinging its tail in the water.

Luo Rui stood by the lake and said attentively: "Director Wei, don't pull too hard. If you pull too hard, the sub-line will break."

As he spoke, he stretched out the scoop net and waited for the black fish to reach the shore. With his quick eyes and hands, he stretched out the scoop net and scooped it up.

A black fish weighing more than ten pounds was caught in the net, tumbling around.

Wei Qunshan chuckled: "I'm really lucky today. I haven't seen such a big fish in many years!"

Luo Rui glanced back at him and flattered him: "Director Wei is really amazing. He is still strong despite his age. It would be unfair if you didn't catch this fish!"

Wei Qunshan was feeling happy, but when he saw Luo Rui trying to flatter him, he said, "Hurry up, bring it up and weigh it to see if it breaks the record."

"Okay!"

Luo Rui followed the pole behind him, but the black fish swung hard and jumped out directly.

"Oops!"

He threw away the scoop net and rushed over. The black fish had already dived into the water, gently waving its tail and diving into the deep water.

Seeing the big fish he had caught was gone, Wei Qunshan was stunned on the spot, as if ants were crawling all over his body.

Zhu Yong touched his face and felt very happy.

Hu Changyu coughed twice and tried not to laugh.

Luo Rui stood there awkwardly, feeling panicked. He lost the big fish that Wei Qunshan had caught. This was no different from killing his parents. When Old Wei was turning 80, he remembered this incident and was so angry that he wanted to overturn the table.

"Uh……"

Luo Rui rubbed his hands and said, "Um... Director Wei, if you like this fish, I'll go to the market and buy you one. I promise it'll be exactly the same..."

"roll!"

"If it really doesn't work... I'll hang you on the hook and let you pull it again?" As Luo Rui spoke, he picked up the helmet on the ground and put it on his head carefully.

"roll!"

"Okay..."

As the sun was mid-day, everyone sat around two large round tables in the waterside pavilion.

In addition to a few big guys, Chen Hao, Cai Xiaojing, Liao Kang and Du Feng all came.

Today is Sunday, a rare day of nice weather.

Under normal circumstances, the bosses would not be so casual. They would always have secretaries and drivers with them, and their words and actions would be more restrained.

This party was organized by Luo Rui again. They specially found a quiet place and invited a chef who had prepared state banquets.

Nongshan is an expert at barbecue, and was also asked to help. He was wearing a snow-white chef's uniform and a tall hat on his head.

He brought a jar of freshly prepared Buddha Jumps Over the Wall to the table and said with a smile, "This dish took a lot of time to prepare. There are dozens of ingredients. The ham is Jinhua ham, which is soft, tender and smooth, with a rich meaty aroma, but not greasy. The ingredients complement each other and are very flavorful."

Zhu Yong said with a smile: "It took quite some effort, but it's not as delicious as the pickled fish!"

Hu Changyu also nodded: "Indeed, fish is still delicious!"

Nong Shan frowned, wondering if the bosses were used to eating good food and wanted something more down-to-earth, so he looked at his boss Luo Rui and asked softly, "Then I'll ask the chef to make a dish? The fish are all ready, kept in the water tank, killed and cooked right after, guaranteed to be fresh."

Luo Rui glanced at Wei Qunshan warily and said, "Uh... We're not eating fish today. There are too many bones. Just follow the menu."

The boss had spoken, and Nongshan didn't say anything more. He held the plate under his arm and ran to the kitchen.

"Um... Director Wei, here, this piece of abalone. It's fat but not greasy. Please try it." Luo Rui picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece for him and put it on the plate.

Wei Qunshan snorted coldly, turned his face away and ignored him.

The few people who had just arrived didn't understand what was going on, but they could see that Luo Rui had offended his old leader.

Zhu Yong was the highest-ranking person present. After he picked up the chopsticks, others also started to eat.

Luo Rui introduced: "There are also shark fins, braised lamb chops, and boiled cabbage and other ingredients. This boiled cabbage is as delicious as Buddha Jumps Over the Wall. It tastes light and sweet. It is a famous dish in Sichuan. Just this dish, in the past few years, whenever there was a state banquet, it was a must-have dish.

This dish proves that Sichuan people don’t just eat spicy food. They can also cook dishes that are neither spicy nor numbing. These Sichuan chefs are really amazing!"

Zhu Yong put down his chopsticks and wiped his hands with a wet tissue while chewing. "This abalone is so soft and chewy!"

"The ham is not bad either! This Buddha Jumps Over the Wall is authentic and is the best I have ever eaten!" Hu Changyu also exclaimed.

Wei Qunshan didn't move his chopsticks, but Luo Rui filled his bowl with food using the serving chopsticks.

Hu Changyu advised: "Eat it, Lao Wei, why are you so angry! It's just a fish, right?"

"Old Hu, you make it sound so easy! Was it just a fish? I saw it, it weighed at least 30 kilograms. I have never seen such a big fish in my life!"

Zhu Yong rolled his eyes: "You just said 20 kilograms, I also checked, in fact, it's only more than 10 kilograms, definitely not more than 15 kilograms!"

Luo Rui sighed. This is what a fisherman’s delusion is like. If the fish runs away, the weight of the fish will be infinitely magnified in the fisherman’s memory in the future, at least several times, maybe more!
Anyway, the main theme is heartache, regret, and resentment towards Luo Rui.

Regrets will be magnified infinitely, just like when you were a student, you had a crush on a girl but you didn't dare to talk to her for a long time, let alone confess your love to her. Even many years after graduation, she still remained in your memory.

You will occasionally have a dream, dreaming of her infinite beauty.

In fact, the other person has already become fat and old, and you are also old.

Even if you muster up the courage to confess, your mindset will be different and you will find that it is just like that.

Beauty and regret are both products of subjective memory. Our past self is merely deceiving our present self.

After hearing the discussion among the big guys, Chen Hao, who had been eating, suddenly realized something and said to Luo Rui, "Oh, you let Director Wei's fish escape?"

Du Feng also raised his head, blinked and said, "You dare to let Director Wei's fish escape? You are too bold!"

Luo Rui glared at them and said, "Stop talking so much. Eat your food!"

Wei Qunshan was like a bullied young wife. She sighed and decided to forgive her unromantic husband.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore!"

After hearing this, Luo Rui felt relieved.

The table of dishes was indeed carefully prepared by Luo Rui. Not only were they delicious, but they were also extremely expensive.

The dining area was even quieter and more elegant. In this elegant residence, there were only a few of them, with no outsiders present, so it was extremely private.

Everyone knows that Luo Rui is a rich man, so he doesn't feel bad about eating.

After eating and drinking, the table and chairs were removed, and Nongshan asked someone to replace them with a coffee table. Hu Changyu brought his own tea, and several people gathered around the coffee table, happily brewing tea.

While tidying up his fishing rod, Wei Qunshan said to Luo Rui, "Tell me, you were so attentive to me just now, what's the matter?"

Luo Rui coughed twice and said, "It's like this, Director Wei..."

He nodded to Hu Changyu and Zhu Yong, and then said: "I thought about it. If it really doesn't work, let's narrow the scope a bit. Our Haijiang Branch and Shahe County Bureau will jointly form a special criminal team! We don't care about others, we will do it first, which is equivalent to doing a pilot project first. If our ability is really good and the crime-solving rate increases, others will naturally see it!

In this way, Director Wei, it won't be considered that I'm stealing your girlfriend, right? We'll all be a family from now on."

Hearing this, Cai Xiaojing and Du Feng looked at each other and nodded.

Zhu Yong laughed and said, "Ha, you are quite clever, you actually set your sights on the old leader!"

Hu Changyu pondered and said, "Luo Rui has worked in the Haijiang Branch before, and is familiar with the police officers and case-handling methods of the two units. If he specializes in investigating suspicious and special cases, this idea is indeed feasible."

Wei Qunshan sneered: "You are still harboring evil intentions!"

Luo Rui sighed: "Hey, isn't this all for the purpose of solving cases? Actually, I don't have to be a policeman..."

He spread his hands and said, "You can see that I am better at making money than solving cases. If I just want to be a rich man, my life will be better. Why solve cases, right?"

Wei Qunshan didn't even look at him. He had heard too many lies like this.

He put the fishing rod into his backpack and said, "Go back and discuss this with your leaders. If they agree, I agree! However, you have to allocate your time well. I don't care what case you solve or how you investigate, but you have to stay at the Haijiang Branch for half a year, and your personnel affiliation will remain unchanged."

Hearing this, Luo Rui nodded quickly, smiling like a young wife who was about to return to her parents' home. Her mood immediately improved when she saw her husband kneeling down to apologize.

Wei Qunshan carried his fishing rod on his back and said, "Also, tell that guy, Lu Kangming, to stop sending me tea. They are all fake. I don't know where he bought them from."

Luo Rui's face suddenly darkened, and he thought to himself, was Director Lu tricked by his brother-in-law?
Zhu Yong looked at Wei Qunshan and said, "Old Wei, why don't you sit for a while? Where are you going?"

"I'm going fishing. I have to make up for my losses. I could have passed by my house without entering it, but now I'm embarrassed. If I don't catch any fish, my grandchildren will call me a coward."

"Let's go together, let's go together!" Zhu Yong also stood up.

Hu Changyu also picked up his fishing bag and followed them.

These big guys are not blind. They know that their presence makes the people below uncomfortable, so after things are decided, they slip away.

Next, Luo Rui discussed the details of the special criminal team with Du Feng and Cai Xiaojing until the evening before driving away.

……

The next day.

In the late autumn weather of October, the maple leaves in front of the window fell one by one, and when the wind blew, a few leaves fell in front of the windowsill.

Cai Xiaojing picked up the leaf, then picked up a book, opened it, put the leaf between them, and put the book back on the bookshelf.

It's a two-bedroom, one-bedroom house, and no one else lives there except me.

After being alone for so many years, I often feel depressed. Only by being busy at work can I suppress this feeling of loneliness.

She put on her backpack, took the key from the cabinet in the entrance hall, closed the door, and took the elevator downstairs.

Luo Rui had rented this apartment before, and the original landlord, Tao Yanhong, was the mastermind behind a series of robberies and murders, the man called X by the Linjiang police.

It was because of this case that Cai Xiaojing faced the only life-and-death danger in her police career.

When she got downstairs, Cai Xiaojing was surprised to see Luo Rui's BMW parked downstairs.

He honked the horn twice, rolled down the window and gestured for someone to get in.

Cai Xiaojing walked over with a smile, opened the door, and sat in the passenger seat.

Luo Rui handed over breakfast considerately: "It's still hot, eat quickly."

Cai Xiaojing smiled and said, "Why did you think of coming to pick me up this morning?"

Luo Rui drove out and said, "Well, we will be working on cases together from now on, so we still need to keep in touch emotionally."

"Ah? Yes." She took a sip of soy milk and lowered her head.

Luo Rui was in a good mood and said, "I have already reported this matter. Both Director Lu and Political Commissar Yang agree, so this matter is settled. In order to save Old Wei's face, I plan to stay in the Haijiang Branch for two months. When the time comes, we will go to whichever side has more cases."

Cai Xiaojing hummed, "Don't worry, aren't you still on vacation? Don't you plan to travel with Mo Wanqiu to relax?"

"There's no rush to take a vacation." Luo Rui said, "It's almost the end of the year, let's clear up a batch of backlogs to make the data look better."

Cai Xiaojing nodded and said nothing.

At this time, the phone in her pocket rang. After answering it, she turned to look at Luo Rui: "There is a case, I have to go to Shuimuchun City!"

"What kind of case?"

Cai Xiaojing didn't say anything. Although they were both criminal police officers, they belonged to different units. Luo Rui's special criminal team had not yet been established, and it was not convenient for her to disclose information about the case.

Luo Rui understood and didn't ask any more questions.

Not long after, he received a call from Wei Qunshan.

"Hello, Director Wei."

The other party on the phone was very anxious: "Didn't you swear to solve major cases? Now your chance has come, hurry to a community called Shuimu Chuncheng!"

Luo Rui glanced at Cai Xiaojing and asked, "What type?"

"A tragic case of annihilation of a whole family!"

After saying that, Wei Qunshan hung up the phone. Luo Rui could still hear a childish voice in his ear, mockingly saying, "Grandpa, Air Force, Air Force Grandpa!"

Luo Rui thought for a moment, and while driving, he picked up his cell phone and called Lu Kangming, telling him to call the person he had chosen.

Fang Yonghui, Yang Bo, and Qi Lei are people that Luo Rui is used to working with, and they have a good understanding of each other.

Qi Lei's position as squadron leader was denied by his superiors, mainly because he had been lying low for a long time and had made no achievements over the years. Although the cases he had investigated recently were quite impressive, they were probably short-lived or just a trick. The organization believed that he needed to be observed.

Shuimu Chuncheng, as soon as you hear the name of this community, it sounds like a high-end place.

When they arrived at the place, Luo Rui got out of the car and took a look. It was indeed very high-end.

The murdered family lived in a small townhouse, but its location and price were far inferior to Luo Rui's seaside villa.

But if you are an ordinary person, you may not be able to afford it even with your life savings.

Two police cars and a survey vehicle were parked in front of the villa's courtyard.

A cordon had been set up at the door, and the police station chief on duty at the scene was an old acquaintance.

As soon as Gu Dayong saw Luo Rui, he clicked his tongue twice.

"You kid, every time I see you it's at a crime scene, it's too unlucky!"

Now is not the time for warm greetings. Luo Rui is still very grateful to his old director who arrested him during the anti-pornography crackdown.

"Director Gu, what's the situation at the scene?"

Gu Dayong nodded to Cai Xiaojing first, then called a policeman holding a notebook and said, "Tell the Criminal Investigation Team about this."

The police officer said: "The owner of Villa No. 15 is called Shen Hai, the president of a company that mainly deals in building materials. His wife is called Peng Ruzhen, a housewife. In addition to the couple, their two children were also killed. Their daughter just graduated from college, her name is Shen Lan, and their son is in high school, his name is Shen Xin."

"The person who discovered the body and reported the case is the same person. She is the nanny of this villa, named Zhu Yifang..."

A middle-aged woman was sitting under a parasol in the yard, with two female police officers standing beside her.

"Have you taken notes?"

"Not yet. The nanny is not very stable."

"How do people die?"

"After we received the call, we didn't dare go in. We just took a look in the living room and saw a lot of blood at the scene..."

The police officer's answer was very confidential and meticulous. Generally speaking, after receiving a report, the police from the police station would rush to the scene first. If they found that it was a homicide, they would immediately report it to the Criminal Investigation Brigade. At this time, their duty is to protect the scene from being destroyed.

But in the early years, the police station could also take over homicide cases. The quality of the police officers was not high and their technical means were not good enough, so the scene was a mess and it was very difficult to investigate clues.

After the Criminal Police Brigade took over, they found that the investigation was full of loopholes. At this time, bickering and mutual attacks were happening every day.

Nowadays, the division of responsibilities is clear. Except for the eight major types of cases, the police stations can take over all of them, and there will be no shirking of responsibility in the future.

The eight categories of cases mainly include intentional homicide, intentional injury causing serious injury or death, rape, robbery, drug trafficking, arson, explosion, and release of dangerous substances.

Friends who often commit crimes need to understand what they have done wrong and who they are dealing with.

Luo Rui withdrew his gaze from the nanny and after hearing the police's story, the nanny's suspicion was slightly reduced.

If it was poisoning or arson, the nanny would be taken under control immediately.

There is a precedent for this. The precedent was the Hangzhou nanny arson case that shocked the whole country before Luo Rui was reborn.

There was a plank bridge in front of the villa, and things for the criminal police to wear were placed at the door.

Luo Rui and Cai Xiaojing each put on shoe covers and headgear and walked into the villa carefully.

Before they even saw the scene, the smell of blood hit their noses. One could imagine the tragic situation they were about to face.

A middle-aged man was lying on the sofa in the living room. He was wearing a white home suit. His clothes were covered in blood and there were several holes in his chest.

The bloodstains spread all the way to the dining table, where a newspaper and an unfinished breakfast were placed.

Luo Rui walked over and took a look. On top of the newspaper was a signed divorce agreement...
