Detective: From the Police Academy

Chapter 327 Camping, fishing?
Linjiang City.

Phoenix Bay.

It is thirty kilometers away from the city and close to the border of Huining City.

The broad and tranquil river flows downstream.

Because it is early spring and there is less rain, the river water is very clear. On the slope on the opposite bank, there are large areas of green plants growing.

"What is that?" Lin Chen looked towards the other side excitedly.

"rape."

"Captain Cai, you are not from the countryside, right? Do you know about crops?"

Cai Xiaojing smiled, stood up, and shook off the water stains on her hands: "I lived in the countryside for a while when I was a child."

Lin Chen specifically went to inquire about Cai Xiaojing's affairs.

Everyone in the entire municipal bureau knows her personality and character.

She was not difficult to get along with, and she was a famous policewoman in Haidong Province. She was the deputy captain of the Criminal Police Brigade of Haijiang Branch at the time. But more importantly, she was Luo Rui's deputy.

She and Luo Rui jointly solved many major cases. In particular, last year, she was involved in a major drug-related case in which someone injected her with drugs, and as a result, she was on administrative leave for half a year.

Because of this, all photos of Cai Xiaojing were withdrawn from the promotional brochures of municipal, county and city bureaus.

Not only that, Luo Rui's criminal team was once used as a publicity target. Later, because of this incident, all promotional materials were recalled. This was of course for their safety.

"Captain Cai, you are so beautiful."

The sudden words made Cai Xiaojing's neck red. She shook her hands and said a little embarrassedly: "Thank you, you are also very beautiful."

Lin Chen curled his lips: "No, they all say I'm a tomboy, especially the team leader, who doesn't even look at me."

"Maybe it has something to do with your identity?"

Lin Chen was speechless for a moment. After a moment's silence, she replied, "Did the team leader tell you about my family?"

Cai Xiaojing shook her head: "That's not what he said."

"That must be Uncle Wei. He has a big mouth and can't hide anything."

Cai Xiaojing smiled and said, "Don't say that. You are still young. If you exercise, you will return to work in the provincial department sooner or later."

"The provincial department is so boring. I stay in the office every day writing materials. Following the team leader and seeing so many cases, to be honest, my heart has become stronger. If he doesn't mind, I will follow him forever."

Cai Xiaojing looked at her thoughtfully, then nodded slightly.

Lin Chen was silent for a while, then said, "Captain Cai, I have a question. I don't know if I should ask you."

"We are all colleagues, feel free to ask any questions you have."

Lin Chen bit his lip: "But... I'm asking about a personal matter."

"also."

"Well, why don't you have a boyfriend yet?"

Cai Xiaojing was stunned by her question: "This..."

Then, she looked behind her and saw Luo Rui and a few others sitting in front of the tent, using tongs in their hands to turn the meat on the electric stove.

Lin Chen saw through her thoughts and said, "Captain Cai, I am sorry for being so presumptuous."

"It's okay." Cai Xiaojing concealed her embarrassment: "Shall we go over there?"

"Okay." Lin Chen coughed and followed her.

Luo Rui’s newly purchased RV was parked on the natural green grass. A canopy was hung in front of the RV, and five tents were set up next to the RV.

The tent is large enough to accommodate two people.

Not to mention, since Fang Yonghui is a local and his family has some assets, he also drove his Toyota Prado over, and the trunk and back seat were filled with food and drinking water.

Everyone sat comfortably in chairs around the two barbecue stoves, looking at the river flowing below.

Chu Yang opened a few cans of beer and handed them out one by one: "This place is really good. It's not like those places that are specially designed for camping. They are crowded and noisy. There are only a few of us. There are no outsiders to disturb us. It's really comfortable."

Su Mingyuan took a sip of beer and smacked his lips. “To be honest, Yonghui, Yangbo, and the team leader are all locals. They definitely know Linjiang City better than we do. The place they chose is really good.”

Luo Rui looked at Cai Xiaojing and Lin Chen who were walking up the slope. There were only these two girls in the criminal team. They were both wearing casual clothes, but it couldn't hide their heroic appearance.

The slopes are covered in greenery and dotted with small yellow flowers.

Across the river, the mountains and fields are covered with rapeseed.

Luo Rui smiled and said, "If you come here in May, when the rape flowers are in full bloom, there will be many people, and most city dwellers who choose to camp outdoors will come here.

Now, although it is deserted, it is very quiet. So, sometimes people can only choose one, either beautiful scenery or time alone. You can't have both. "

Chu Yang is well-read and has a high emotional intelligence. He looked at Luo Rui, then looked at Captain Cai who was about to approach him, then smiled and said nothing.

But Fang Yonghui said: "I would rather choose to be alone. Being alone is a way to learn and can make me stronger."

"Me too!" Yang Bo finished his beer and threw the empty can into the open cardboard box.

Su Mingyuan picked up a bamboo stick from the grill with two chicken wings on it. "I like the hustle and bustle, especially during the Chinese New Year. It's so pleasant to be together, eating and drinking."

Yang Bo laughed and said, "You are just a good-for-nothing."

"Yang Bo, you are a local, you can go home during holidays. My family is in another province. How long have I not seen my parents? Do you know? Last Spring Festival, I stayed at home for three days and didn't even have time to play mahjong."

"My parents are your parents. If you don't mind, come back to Shahe County with me next time you're on vacation. I'll ask my mom to make you something delicious."

"Hey, that's good."

Everyone was joking and drinking beer, but Tian Guanghan was the only one sitting aside, silent.

Luo Rui moved his chair closer to him, took out a pack of Zhonghua cigarettes from his pocket, handed it to him, and lit it with a lighter. Then he asked, "Old Tian, ​​are you really leaving?"

Upon hearing this, Tian Guanghan's body choked.

The movements of the others' hands also froze.

Su Mingyuan swallowed his saliva and saw Tian Guanghan's murderous eyes. He said quickly: "Old Tian, ​​it's not that I'm big-mouthed. I didn't dare to tell the team leader."

Chu Yang also hurriedly clarified: "I didn't say that either."

Fang Yonghui quickly shook his head: "You know what kind of person I am. I usually don't talk about men's affairs."

Yang Bo also waved his hand: "That... it's not me either. I usually don't betray my colleagues."

Tian Guanghan sighed and didn't dare to meet Luo Rui's eyes.

"Team leader, how did you know?"

Luo Rui also lit a cigarette and pointed at the people sitting next to him: "They told me."

"Ah?" Everyone gasped, feeling like they were being wronged, but they didn't dare to argue.

Luo Rui continued, "A long time ago, someone told me not to pay too much attention to details that are not related to the case, otherwise the dust from each case will be enough to crush you. I think you should understand this better than me."

Tian Guanghan glanced at the other people. As soon as Luo Rui finished speaking, these people quickly stood up.

Chu Yang said: "I'm going to the toilet..."

Fang Yonghui: "There is a fishing rod in the team leader's RV. I will go to the riverside and cast a few times. If I catch any fish, we can have grilled fish tonight."

Yang Bo: "Let's go together. Let's go together."

Su Mingyuan looked at the skewers on the grill reluctantly: "I'll come back to eat later."

Seeing that everyone had left, Tian Guanghan glanced at Luo Rui and said, "Team Leader, to tell you the truth, I really plan to transfer back to my original unit. I have no objection to you or others.

I really feel that I am not capable enough. If I had been more alert and moved quickly, the murderer wouldn’t have chopped off the woman’s head…”

At this time, Luo Rui stretched out his hand to interrupt him: "Then why don't you think about it from another perspective?"

"which aspect?"

Luo Rui threw the cigarette butt into the beer can, which made a "sizzling" sound because there was still beer left in the can.

"It was because you were quick and responded in time that you saved another victim. If it weren't for you, the girl named Yong Jingjing might have also been killed."

Hearing this, Tian Guanghan shook his head: "But..."

Luo Rui turned around and looked at him: "How about you listen to what she says?"

"what?"

"Yesterday afternoon, I went to the hospital, and Yong Jingjing has been rescued. At that time, the weapon used by Wang Guiguang was a kitchen knife. The kitchen knife is good for beheading, but it is difficult to stab. The tip of the knife was not sharp and did not pierce Yong Jingjing's vital parts..."

As Luo Rui spoke, he took out the tape recorder he carried with him and handed it to him.

Then he stood up and patted Tian Guanghan on the shoulder: "I understand your thoughts. After listening to me, if you are still determined to leave the criminal team, I will not stop you.

I just want to tell you that the work of the criminal team is very dangerous and the responsibility is great, but you also get a lot of medals. Lao Tian, ​​if I remember correctly, you have won individual and collective second-class merits, as well as a third-class merit. You are not yet fifty years old. If you stick with it for a few more years, I guarantee that you will be promoted a few levels before you retire. "

Having said all, Luo Rui didn't say anything more. Tian Guanghan was not unreliable, but people would always be unsure at critical moments.

No matter who you are, there will be times when you make mistakes.

Looking at Luo Rui's departing back, Tian Guanghan sat alone in the chair.

Luo Rui's words couldn't be clearer. No matter whether they were in the Shahe County Bureau before or the Municipal Bureau now, countless people used their connections and begged for help in order to join Luo Rui's criminal team, but were all rejected by Luo Rui.

Following Luo Rui in solving cases does have great potential.

With the accumulated experience and means of solving cases, I can make further progress after being transferred back to my original unit.

Not to mention the distant past, let’s just talk about Fang Yonghui and Yang Bo. A rookie who just joined the police force, if he hadn’t followed Luo Rui, he would still be driving for his superiors at the grassroots level.

Not to mention Yang Bo. If it weren't for Luo Rui, he would still be riding a motorcycle, patrolling the streets, dealing with trivial matters of his neighbors all day long.

In the future, if the criminal team is disbanded, with their experience and ability, and their relationship with Luo Rui, it will be no problem for them to become a deputy director of any police station, or ask for a position as a captain of a local criminal police team.

This is a bit ridiculous. Luo Rui is two years younger than Tian Guanghan, but he has such terrifying abilities.

Tian Guanghan sighed somewhat self-deprecatingly.

He held the recorder in his hand, thought for a moment, and finally pressed the button.

Luo Rui's voice came from the recorder:
"Yong Jingjing, can your injuries sustain the duration of this recording?"

"I can."

"When you and Jiang Lan were called to Hongshan Road, were you attacked immediately?"

"Yes, I felt something was wrong at the time, and I persuaded Lanlan to go back, but she didn't agree. Because her mother was sick, so she needed money.

We are usually invited by guests to places like hotels. When we suddenly came to such a remote place, I immediately became suspicious. And when we entered the door, the murderer immediately locked the door.

Lanlan went to the bathroom, and I asked the man to open the door, but he refused and beat and attacked me. He took a kitchen knife from the coffee table and chopped me with it.

Later, he dragged me into the kitchen and beat me. During this time, Lanlan hid in the bathroom and did not dare to come out, but the man still dragged her out.

We were violated by this man... by him..." "What happened after that?"

"I don't remember anything. I just know that when that guy dragged me into the pickup truck, I woke up, but I pretended to be unconscious. After the pickup truck drove away, I wanted to wake Lanlan up, but I couldn't wake her up no matter what I did. My hands and feet were tied up, and my mouth was taped.

I struggled hard, but to no avail.

until……"

When Tian Guanghan heard this, he noticed that Yong Jingjing's voice began to become flustered and her emotions were very frightened. Recalling this incident seemed to make her face the murder scene again.

He couldn't help but clench his fists and purse his lips.

"Until that man got into the car and chopped Lanlan's neck with a hatchet, right in front of me, the warm blood flowed on my face. I was so scared that I didn't dare to make a sound.

I watched helplessly as Lanlan's head was chopped off by him, and her head... her head was put into the backpack. I will never forget her eyes.

Finally...finally that man came and cut my neck again. I was scared and struggled desperately. I wanted to shout for help, but no sound came out.

The man chopped twice, but I dodged both times. He had no choice but to hold me down and try to cut my throat with the kitchen knife. At this time, I heard a dog barking.

He panicked, accidentally pressed the kitchen knife against my chest, and pressed down hard with both hands, trying to kill me!

I thought I was dead, but at this moment, the man picked up his backpack and jumped out of the car.

Later, I only knew that I was held in the arms of a man, who was shouting, "Call an ambulance, call an ambulance quickly." They carried me out of the car, and when I was about to fall asleep, the person holding me told me not to sleep and to wake up.

When I was about to fall asleep, I saw that face. It was this person who saved me. I will never forget that face.

Officer, can you tell me his name? When I get better, I want to thank him in person for saving my life. "

"We are very happy that you survived, but we have confidentiality regulations and we cannot tell you the name of the officer."

"But... I really want to see him, please, my parents gave me a life, he gave me a second life, I want to promise him that I will not do... I will not do this job again, I just want to tell this officer that I will live well."

"We will pass on your words to him. Finally, please confirm whether the murderer who hurt you and killed Jiang Lan is the man in the photo?"

"Yes, it's him..."

The voice in the recorder continued. As the only surviving victim, Yong Jingjing's confession was crucial, and she would also be an important witness when she appeared in court for trial.

At this moment, Tian Guanghan felt a warmth in his heart. He took a breath, wiped his eyes, and then turned off the recorder.

In all his years as a police officer, he has never been thanked by anyone.

Yes, although Jiang Lan is dead, Yong Jingjing is still alive.

If it wasn't for her, she would have been killed by the murderer, and this is the biggest failure of this case.

I did nothing wrong, I'm fine.

Tian Guanghan opened another can of beer, took a big gulp, then lay back in the chair, closed his eyes, and took a deep breath of the fresh air of nature.

Asking the fragrance of grass and watching flowers bloom can indeed help people get out of depression.

Then he drank the beer, took out his cell phone from his pocket and dialed a number.

After the call was connected, he said, "Master, I've thought about what I did to trouble you yesterday..."

……

……

Luo Rui sat on a cushion under a banyan tree a hundred meters away. He looked at Tian Guanghan's back and said to Lin Chen beside him, "When Wang Guiguang's case goes to court, if we need someone to go, don't ask Old Tian to go."

Lin Chen asked in confusion, "Who else should we call if not Old Tian? He was the one who found all the bodies of Zhao Chunli and Yang Xia, and he was at the scene when Wang Guiguang cut off their heads in the pickup truck."

"My name is Yang Bo. Yang Bo is also here."

Lin Chen blinked and looked at Cai Xiaojing who was sitting on the cushion. She had her feet together, her hands around her knees, and a smile on her face.

"Do you want me to tell the truth?"

Luo Rui curled his lips: "Don't, they are all big mouths. If Lao Tian knew about this, he would definitely fight me to the death."

"How could it be, after all..."

Before Cai Xiaojing finished speaking, Lin Chen blinked and said quickly: "Ah, team leader, you and Captain Cai actually have a secret, and you are hiding it from me. No, I must know. We are a team, and you can't bully me."

Luo Rui shrugged: "I can tell you, but you have to promise not to tell anyone."

Lin Chen raised his right hand: "I swear, I will keep you and Captain Cai's secret, I will never tell anyone else..."

Cai Xiaojing frowned: "What nonsense are you talking about? What does it have to do with me?"

"Well, I'll do it again. I swear, I will keep the team leader's secret."

Luo Rui nodded and told him about the recorder again.

Lin Chen listened with his eyes wide open: "Team Leader, you...you are so bad, you actually lied to Lao Tian?"

Luo Rui spread his hands and said, "What do you mean by cheating? Think about it. Old Tian is old and has experienced many ups and downs. I don't disagree with him leaving the criminal team. If he really wants to find a leisurely job, I agree with him.

However, he couldn't get over this hurdle in his heart and developed psychological problems.

Yong Jingjing hasn’t woken up yet, so I can only find someone to pretend to be her and record her voice…”

"Won't you be exposed?"

"No, if Yong Jingjing is needed to appear in court, Old Tian just doesn't have to go there."

Lin Chen raised his eyebrows: "Your trick is really vicious."

"Tsk, what are you talking about? How can you say that about your leader?"

"Isn't it possible? Your leader's leader's leader... I'm still doing what you say."

"That's right, you have a good father." Luo Rui stood up and clapped his hands.

"It will be dark soon. You and Captain Cai will sleep in the RV tonight. The sheets and quilt covers are all new."

Cai Xiaojing said: "One person can sleep on the dining chair in the RV..."

Lin Chen said, "Captain Cai, please don't worry about him. These guys finally get some free time, so they will definitely drink all night. If the team leader gets drunk and snores when he sleeps, I can't stand it."

"I never snore." Luo Rui patted his butt: "I only pick my nose..."

“Oh, how disgusting…”

……

……

Night falls and the evening breeze blows.

Only the campfire in the camp was crackling, and there were no city lights, as if everything had returned to its original state.

Fang Yonghui and Yang Bo actually caught a few carps weighing one kilogram.

Su Mingyuan, a foodie, scraped the scales and gutted the fish in one go, then marinated it with coarse salt, brushed a layer of olive oil on it, sprinkled a few sesame seeds on the fish meat, then skewered it with iron skewers and grilled it over an open fire.

After a while, the fish meat contracted, gradually turned golden yellow, and oozes oil.

At this time, Tian Guanghan was in a good mood and returned to his previous ruffian self. He patted Su Mingyuan on the shoulder and said, "Mingyuan, you are a senior foodie. The fish you grilled is really delicious. It's almost as good as my son's cooking skills."

Su Mingyuan rolled his eyes and said, "Old Tian, ​​you'd better be mute. We haven't had two days of peace and quiet yet, and you start making noise again."

"What's wrong? You're only about twenty years old, calling me uncle isn't too much, right?"

"That team leader is a generation younger than you, why don't you let him call you uncle?"

"Ahem, that's different. The team leader is the leader."

"You only know how to bully me. If you have nothing to do, go fishing with Yonghui and the others."

Tian Guanghan curled his lips: "That's so boring, I don't like fishing..."

Lin Chen then said, "You just like to eat fish, right? I see you are drooling."

Tian Guanghan smiled embarrassedly: "I haven't eaten enough these days."

After he finished speaking, he sucked his saliva.

Lin Chen looked at Luo Rui speechlessly: "Team Leader, Lao Tian is too mean, so disgusting."

Luo Rui was fiddling with his phone and dealing with Mo Wanqiu's questioning. He didn't know where this girl heard that he was on vacation and even sent him a message to complain.

Cai Xiaojing glanced at his mobile phone screen from time to time, and saw his fingers quickly typing on the virtual keyboard.

At this time, Su Mingyuan put on woolen gloves and picked up two skewers of grilled fish: "Team leader, Captain Cai, these are yours, try my cooking skills."

"Lin Chen, this is yours. Put less salt."

"Thank you."

Luo Rui said: "You guys eat, I'll be busy for a while."

Tian Guanghan was really hungry, so he picked up a skewer of grilled fish and took a light bite without caring about the heat.

"Damn, Mingyuan, you're really good at this. It's crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and it smells so good!"

“When I was a child, my family was poor and we only ate meat once a week, so my brother and I would steal the bacon hanging from the beams of the house and roast it in the wild.

I tell you, tomorrow we will go to the river to pick up snails. Snail meat is delicious. Put the meat in a bamboo tube and roast it with firewood. That’s how delicious it is.”

Lin Chen curled his lips: "Can snails be eaten?"

Because the grilled fish was too hot, she and Cai Xiaojing waited until it cooled down a little before eating it.

"Live by the mountain, eat by the mountain; live by the water, eat by the water. Lin Chen, you really have never seen how poor people lived in the past." Su Mingyuan said as he took a big bite of a piece of fish and hummed with great satisfaction.

Tian Guanghan was also eating with his mouth full of oil, and he was enjoying it very much: "Well, Yang Bo, Fang Yonghui, and Chu Yang don't want to eat?"

Su Mingyuan wiped his mouth with a tissue: "Experienced fishermen usually fish for fish, not eat them. These three guys are competing to see who can catch more fish."

As soon as he finished speaking, a shout came from the river not far away.

Several people looked over and saw Yang Bo pulling the fishing rod with all his strength.

Tian Guanghan smacked his lips and said, "It looks like Yang Bo will win. He seems to have caught a big fish."

"There are many big fish in Linjiang River, and the fish meat is fresh..." Luo Rui responded.

But five minutes later, Yang Bo, Fang Yonghui and Chu Yang came running hurriedly from the riverside.

The three of them were sweating profusely and looked panicked.

Yang Bo, the leader, saw that Tian Guanghan had eaten the fish in his hand until only the skeleton was left, and his face turned black.

Fang Yonghui and Chu Yang couldn't help but swallow their saliva. When Lin Chen was about to eat, they hurriedly said, "Don't eat it!"

Lin Chen frowned: "What's wrong?"

Luo Rui put down his phone, and had a bad feeling in his heart: "Did you catch a corpse?"
