Detective: From the Police Academy

Chapter 293: Enduring Humiliation for Ten Years
The sun's rays pierced through the thick clouds and sprinkled through the gaps.

The warm sunlight fell on Luo Rui's shoulders, waking him up from his sleep.

It was already the next morning. He had not slept the entire night and only took a short nap for half an hour when it was almost dawn.

After a night of excavation, all the areas underneath Mine Shaft No. 13 had been dug up, and the excavated rubble and debris were piled on the ground next to it, forming a small hill.

There was severe water seepage below, and after working all night, no other bodies were found. In other words, in the accident that occurred in Mine No. 13 that year, there were a total of eight deaths underground, two of whom were minors, and the other six were illegal workers without ID cards.

As for the two relatively intact skeletons thrown on the top, they were Zhai Xin and another beggar who were beaten to death by Jia Quan.

Many of these unidentified illegal workers are from other provinces and are very likely to have committed murders, so it is extremely difficult to find out their identities. It takes a lot of time and requires cross-regional investigation.

But this is no longer something Luo Rui is worried about.

He opened his eyes and looked within the cordon. The scene had been cleaned up, but bloodstains could still be seen on the black soil.

Nie Lin had three kilograms of explosives tied to his body. These things were all stolen by Kou Tao from the coal mine that year, and the quantity matched exactly.

The situation at that time was that Nie Lin's abdomen was completely blown open, like a burst watermelon, with red and white all over the ground. His upper body was blown off and flew more than two meters high, and his lower body was covered in blood.

If Fang Yonghui and Yang Bo hadn't pulled him away in time, Luo Rui might have been affected by the power of the bomb. Thinking about it now, he felt a little scared.

Kang Bolin came over from the mine, pulled over a plastic stool and sat next to Luo Rui.

"Luo Rui, the scene has been cleaned up. There should be no other dead bodies. I will ask the engineering team to go back?"

"If the deceased matches the people on the list, then we can withdraw."

"Okay!" Kang Bolin patted his shoulder. In fact, he was very anxious. Although the mastermind was dead, the case was not over yet and follow-up investigation work had to be carried out.

Especially the evidence that Wang Mu brought back to the province will definitely implicate many people. This is a time bomb.

But Luo Rui asked again: "What are you going to do with Xin Zongliang?"

Kang Bolin had already stood up. Hearing this question, he was stunned for a moment and replied: "If he is really in Canada, the situation will be very troublesome. This can only be handed over to the provincial department for negotiation. But to be honest, it is difficult for us to extradite him back to China, unless..."

"Unless what?"

"Unless he has spent all the money he brought out and is of no use to the locals, they will consider handing him over to us."

Luo Rui pondered and said, "Don't their people commit crimes on our land? Can't we exchange them?"

“This is not something we can decide.”

"Okay!" Luo Rui responded.

At this time, Lin Chen came out of the car. She also hadn't slept all night and her eyes were a little swollen.

"Team Leader Luo, Team Leader Kang, you are all here at the right time. I just received a call from Director Wang. Director Wang has handed over the evidence that Hong Wei handed over to Director Wu.

The provincial department and the provincial government have taken over the follow-up of this case. They have set up a special task force overnight to thoroughly investigate this case. "

Kang Bolin nodded and let out a long sigh. It would be best if the provincial department could take over.

To be honest, no one wants to be involved in the behind-the-scenes of this case, let alone involving that person.

"When will the task force arrive?"

"They're already on their way." Lin Chen blinked, and then said, "The person leading the team is someone you know well."

"Oh?" Kang Bolin asked, "Who is it?"

……

Luo Rui returned to the Municipal Bureau and ran into an old acquaintance, Green Ghost Chen Hao, in the corridor.

He was standing with his back against the wall, next to a pot of green plants, smoking a cigarette.

"Green Ghost!" Luo Rui stepped forward and greeted.

"King Luo?" Chen Hao laughed and shook his head, throwing the cigarette butt into the flowerpot.

"I didn't expect that we would have the chance to meet in this building again." Luo Rui sighed.

Chen Hao looked around and pointed to the hall in front. "I remember that three years ago, Wang Tianlong's reward of 200,000 yuan in cash was placed there, and it was finally taken away by you."

"I didn't treat you badly." Luo Rui also leaned against the wall. He took out a box of Zhonghua from his pocket and threw one to Chen Hao. "I didn't keep it all for myself. I bought a pair of sneakers for Wu Lei and a massager for Yang Xiaorui. What else did I buy for you?"

Chen Hao took the cigarette, and the two of them lit it with lighters. After taking a puff, he replied, "Pillow."

"Yes, it seems to be a pillow. I forgot to ask you, is the pillow useful?"

Chen Hao tilted his head and said with some regret: "How would I know if it was still useful? My wife gave it to my son and I didn't sleep for a whole day."

"Tsk!" Luo Rui took a puff of cigarette and looked at the rising smoke. "I really miss those days, when I was carefree and didn't have to think about so many troubles. Captain Chen, the thing I regret most is that I didn't continue studying in school! I shouldn't have left so early."

"What? Do you regret it?" Chen Hao looked at the cigarette in his hand. The index finger of Luo Rui's right hand was burnt yellow. He had been smoking a lot recently.

"Yes, I regret it. I should have completed four years of college and then trained at the grassroots level for three to five years. It would have been good even if I had been a local police officer forever."

Chen Hao sighed softly: "Who told you to be so aggressive that others noticed you? I heard that the mastermind of the 103 case blew himself up last night?"

Luo Rui nodded and took another puff of his cigarette.

"If Nie Lin could be alive, it would save us a lot of trouble. Now that he's dead, don't think too much about it. Let us handle the follow-up matters."

"Are you the leader of the task force?"

"How could it be me? I'm just running errands." Chen Hao laughed and pointed to the office in front with his cigarette-holding hand: "Look, the leader is inside."

As he spoke, the office door was pushed open and Wang Mu walked out.

"Luo Rui, Captain Zhu wants you to come in."

Luo Rui's heart skipped a beat. It turned out to be this big boss.

He threw the cigarette butt in his hand into the potted plant and nodded.

After Luo Rui entered, he saw that in addition to Zhu Yong, Wei Qunshan was also sitting on the sofa.

The old fox looked at him with a scorching gaze, as if he had bad intentions.

Zhu Yong sat in Wan Mingxia's office chair with a pen in his hand.

Luo Rui quickly saluted the two men: "Hello, Captain Zhu, Hello, Director Wei."

Zhu Yong put his pen on the table, walked out from behind the desk, smiled, and patted his shoulder: "What day is it today?"

"Captain, today is the 8th, January 8th."

"In less than a week, you solved such a big case. Is there anything you, Luo Rui, can't do?"

"Yes!" Luo Rui answered solemnly without a trace of excitement.

"Oh?" Zhu Yong looked at Wei Qunshan, who curled his lips.

"Then tell me."

"Xin Zongliang has not been arrested yet, which is a big concern for me."

Wei Qunshan looked as if he had expected it. Zhu Yong pondered, "I have learned all the details of the case. Xin Zongliang hired illegal workers and concealed the mining accident. Not only that, I came here to investigate his relationship with certain people. You can rest assured that we will not let any bad guy go!"

Luo Rui shook his head and said, "Besides this, there is another thing that is not in the file."

Zhu Yong blinked and asked solemnly, "What's the matter?"

"Among the children Liu Jiafu and Ding Li abducted was a girl named Zhai Jie. Xin Zongliang was..."

"She was only nine!"

Zhu Yong was startled, and even Wei Qunshan stood up from his chair.

"Luo Rui, is this true?"

"Captain Zhu, this is what Zhai Jie, now known as Wen Jie, told me in person. She has signed her confession during my interrogation, and the video of the interrogation is also here with me."

Wei Qunshan asked: "If that's the case, why didn't you report it?"

"I don't have time for this."

Zhu Yong nodded in understanding: "Okay, I get it. No matter what diplomatic means we use, we must bring Xin Zongliang back and make him sit in the trial seat."

Luo Rui pondered.

As soon as Wei Qunshan saw his expression, he knew that he must have something in mind.

"Luo Rui, what are your thoughts? Don't hide them from us, tell us."

"Okay then." Luo Rui nodded. "Here's what I think. A beast like Xin Zongliang dares to do such a thing. This is definitely not the first time. Even if he fled abroad, he thought he was safe after so many years. He would definitely not change his beastly behavior. I think we can inform them and let their police investigate. Maybe Xin Zongliang would do such a thing there too."

Zhu Yong frowned and said nothing.

Wei Qunshan said: "If it is really as you said, even if we find out that he has a problem, he will not be tried in our court."

"If he really dares to do this abroad, he's dead!" Luo Rui narrowed his eyes slightly. "Not to mention the death penalty, he will definitely be sentenced to life imprisonment. Even if a foreign prison releases him, he will not be kept. He will definitely be sent back to us, and then we will judge him and send him to hell!"

Zhu Yong opened his eyes wide, and Wei Qunshan also looked surprised.

They both thought at the same time that Luo Rui was indeed famous for his wild ideas and smart brain.

If Xin Zongliang really dared to do such a thing abroad, he would be finished.

The police abroad won't tolerate him, and the prisoners in foreign prisons treat rapists like him with notorious cruelty.

When he is released from prison and sent back to China for a second trial, he will not be thrown into prison again, but will be fed peanuts directly.

Wei Qunshan secretly complained in his heart, this Luo Rui is really cruel, he deserves to be called Luo Yanwang.

However, the prerequisite is that Xin Zongliang really did this abroad, otherwise everything is just empty talk.

He fled for eleven years. After such a long period of time, everyone has desires.

The most essential existence of a person is the control over his desires.

Power, fame, money, laziness, gluttony, sexual desire, etc. are all sharp swords hanging over human heads.

Zhu Yong pondered for a while and said, "Okay, I'll find someone to talk to the police in Canada. As long as Xin Zongliang doesn't change his ways, he's done for. If this doesn't work out, we'll find another way."

Luo Rui breathed a sigh of relief.

"Okay, let's sit down and talk about other things." Zhu Yong pointed to the sofa.

After the three of them sat down, Wei Qunshan made some tea.

This office belongs to Wan Mingxia, but she is still recuperating in the hospital. If we trace back further, Hu Changyu also worked here.

Wei Qunshan was the deputy director at the time, so he was naturally familiar with the building.

After taking a sip of tea, Zhu Yong said, "Luo Rui, as I said just now, this case was solved in such a short time thanks to you. Tell me, do you have any ideas?" "Ideas?" Luo Rui blinked and looked at Wei Qunshan, who was pouring tea for him. He quickly held the teacup with his hand.

Zhu Yong smiled and said, "Forget it, I won't keep you in suspense. Your Shahe County is short of a deputy director..."

"Ah?" Luo Rui waved his hands quickly: "No, no, Captain Zhu, I'm too young. I'm only 22 years old. It's not time for me to wear a white shirt yet!"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yong almost choked on his tea.

Wei Qunshan sneered: "What are you thinking? How shameless of you to want to wear a white shirt? Listen to what Captain Zhu has to say before you express your opinion."

"Uh..." Luo Rui scratched the back of his head awkwardly.

Zhu Yong said: "What I mean is that the document has been sent down to Shahe County. Li Nong is the deputy director of Shahe County. With his promotion, the position of captain has become vacant. This position will be handed over to you in the future."

"Oh." Luo Rui responded, but he didn't feel very happy.

Wei Qunshan glanced at him and said, "Why? Do you think your position is too low?"

Before Luo Rui could speak, Zhu Yong continued, "Besides this, your police rank is not high enough, so we will directly promote you to the third-level police inspector."

"Two bars and one star?"

"Yes!"

"Thank you, Captain Zhu, thank you, Director Wu, thank you, Director Wei. I will work hard and exert my subjective initiative to solve major cases and important cases, and bring honor to our police force."

Luo Rui smacked his lips, showing just the right amount of surprise and joy on his face, otherwise the two big guys in front of him would not feel happy enough.

The bosses are very happy when they announce a promotion to their subordinates. Even if they don't ask you to be grateful, you have to flatter them.

The 22-year-old criminal police captain is a very explosive figure at any time, and his career is rising like a rocket.

Even those selected students are still staying in school at this time.

Zhu Yong nodded with relief: "This job transfer was actually decided before the city's 103 major case, do you understand?"

Luo Rui said immediately: "I understand, what I mean is that this case will not be counted towards my promotion assessment. After the New Year, I will still be promoted!"

Wei Qunshan's face turned dark on the spot. Is there anyone so shameless?

Zhu Yong also coughed. Although they were all family members, there was no need to be so blatant. You were even more arrogant than Qi Tongwei. When he was such a high-ranking official and wanted to move up, he expressed it very tactfully, saying only that he wanted to make progress. But you, on the other hand, dared to say anything.

"It's good for young people to have confidence." Zhu Yong picked up the teacup, hiding his expression.

After drinking tea, he said, "There is another thing. Director Wang came to me and said that his apprentice Lin Chen wanted to go to your criminal team for training..."

Luo Rui immediately replied: "Can I refuse?"

"why?"

"The criminal team is full of men, and we travel between two places. We are now working in Shahe County, and it is difficult to arrange accommodation. She is a female police officer..."

Wei Qunshan quickly replied: "What female police officer? Our police force is not divided by gender, regardless of sex, they are all great! What about Cai Xiaojing before? I never saw you complain."

Luo Rui shrugged: "That's different. Captain Cai is Captain Cai. Besides, she will be back in the second half of the year..."

"No need to say so much, Luo Rui. I tell you, you have to take Lin Chen whether you want it or not. There is no room for negotiation." Zhu Yong's tone was unquestionable and final.

Luo Rui looked at Zhu Yong's eyes, pursed his lips, and had to compromise: "Okay, but you have to tell me, what do her parents do?"

Wei Qunshan frowned, glanced at Zhu Yong, and then said, "Why do you care about other people's parents?"

"Director Wei, I was told personally by Captain Zhu about Lin Chen's job transfer. She must be someone special. As you know, my criminal team handles major cases. Not only was Captain Cai seriously injured, but Qi Lei also died.

It's not that I don't want to take her with me, but the criminals we are facing are really dangerous. If something happens to her, how can I be responsible to you?"

Zhu Yong agreed: "I understand, but handing her over to you doesn't mean she'll have to stay on the front line. She can at least help you with logistics, right?"

"Okay, since you said so, I won't waste any more words. When will she start work?"

"When will you return to Shahe County?"

"The case will be handed over to your task force. After sorting out the materials, we will go back early tomorrow morning."

"Then she will go with you tomorrow."

Luo Rui was surprised. Was the transfer so fast?
It was done in a day or two? Luo Rui became more and more curious about Lin Chen's identity.

Could she be the illegitimate daughter of one of Wei Qunshan and Zhu Yong?
He raised his eyes and took a quick look at the two men's faces. They didn't look alike.

Wei Qunshan saw what he was thinking and quickly scolded him: "Looking around, what are you looking at? I'm telling you, don't let your imagination run wild. It's not what you think!"

"Yes, yes!" Luo Rui nodded quickly.

Zhu Yong coughed and said, "That's it for now. There's nothing else to do. Go and get busy."

But Luo Rui moved his butt and didn't intend to leave. Instead, he rubbed his hands, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

Zhu Yong looked at him like that and asked in confusion, "What's wrong? Do you have anything else to do?"

"Um... before I came here, we agreed on the phone..."

"Oh, I understand." Zhu Yong looked as if he had suddenly realized something.

Luo Rui looked excited. He stretched out his hand, counted on his fingers, and said, "Three police cars, a police dog, and experimental equipment..."

He was counting his joy, but Wei Qunshan quickly reached out to stop him: "A police car, a police dog, and half of the equipment!"

"No..." Luo Rui raised his buttocks and said, "Director Wei, this is what Captain Zhu and I had discussed before. Why is there only one police car? This doesn't make sense!"

Wei Qunshan rolled his eyes and said, "Your criminal team also has a share of my Haijiang Branch. You are a traitor, so I will take half of it too!"

"Ah?" Luo Rui wiped his face.

"It's such a happy decision!" Wei Qunshan patted his knees with a smile.

Zhu Yong couldn't bear to look at the two of them.

……

The criminal team had been busy all day, sorting documents and handing over reports.

Fortunately, the case was handed over smoothly, and all the evidence found by Luo Rui was handed over to the task force.

In addition, in order to see off the members of the criminal team, the Municipal Bureau, represented by Kang Bolin, hosted a special banquet for this group of people that night.

As a member of the special task force, Chen Hao came here mainly to investigate criminal cases. After all, the disciplinary inspection and anti-corruption people will thoroughly investigate those dirty things, and he doesn't need to get involved in these messes.

Everyone gathered together and set up ten tables. Not much of the food on the table was eaten, but a lot of wine was drunk, and the table was filled with empty beer bottles.

Of course, the money was paid out of the city bureau's pocket, but the case had been solved, and Kang Bolin was not as distressed as before.

Wu Lei's face was red from drinking, and Yang Xiaorui, with a big belly, rolled his eyes at him several times.

"Master!" He picked up the beer bottle that someone else had drunk and shouted with a thick tongue, "Master, you finally thought of taking me away. I have suffered so much over the past year!"

Chen Hao rolled his eyes. He came here this time for Wu Lei's transfer.

Although this apprentice is a little silly, he is still affectionate, and Chen Hao has always been worried about him.

Although Yang Xiaorui is still working here, she is about to take a long vacation. Seeing the people around her moving up one by one, she also wants her husband to move up, after all, everyone wants to make progress.

Luo Rui was the protagonist of this banquet. He accepted all the drinks and drank until his face turned red.

None of the municipal police officers present refused to toast him, and all of them gave him a thumbs-up.

……

The next morning, Luo Rui did not rush back, but went to the detention center to see Wen Jie.

She sat behind the iron bars, wearing an orange padded jacket, the uniform worn by prisoners held in the detention center.

After being sentenced and sent to prison, they must wear prison uniforms with a blue background and white stripes.

Although Wen Jie looked pale, he was in good spirits.

"Officer Luo, have you caught Nie Lin?"

Luo Rui met her gaze, smiled, and was unable to answer for a moment.

"He's dead." Finally, he told the truth.

Wen Jie's smile froze on his face.

Luo Rui continued: "We have also found your brother's body, and we are also tracking down the identities of the dead children and illegal workers."

After a long silence, Wen Jie replied, "Thank you."

"As for Xin Zongliang, we may not be able to catch him for a while, but our police are trying to find a way. Don't worry, the police will definitely give you justice."

Wen Jie bit his lip and nodded solemnly: "I believe you."

"Okay! I'll go first, take care." Luo Rui stood up.

Wen Jie inside the iron fence quickly stood up: "Thank you for coming to tell me in person."

After saying that, she bowed deeply to Luo Rui's departing back.

When I came out of the detention center, I saw a long line at the door. These people were family members who wanted to go in to visit.

When Luo Rui was about to get on the bus, he saw a familiar figure standing at the end of the line.

Because the entrance and exit were separate, the other party did not see him.

This man's figure is easy to recognize. He is fat, wears thick glasses, and walks with a stagger.

This person is Liu Yong, his real name is Chen Bai.

It was thanks to him that Wen Jie was able to escape from the devil's den.

It was also because of his confession that Luo Rui was able to investigate the case in a very short time.

But why did he appear in the detention center? Wasn't he still being treated in a mental hospital?
Although Luo Rui was confused, he didn't care about it. After all, Liu Yong was the most innocent among these people.

He was about to drive away when he saw two men who looked like thugs standing beside Liu Yong and passing a cigarette to each other.

The two men turned on their lighters and lit their cigarettes.

Liu Yong looked at the flame on the lighter, and the thick lenses of his glasses reflected the jumping flames.

But he... had no expression on his face, and his body was motionless, just like an ordinary person.

Seeing his appearance, Luo Rui's eyes froze...
