Detective: From the Police Academy

Chapter 347 Car accident
Guangxing City, June, Friday.

At 7:30 in the morning, it was windy and rainy with heavy rain.

A black Volkswagen stopped at the intersection, its wipers scraping the windshield continuously.

While waiting for the red light, Chen Hao lowered the car window a little and lit a cigarette.

At this time, Chen Ma, who was sitting in the back seat, snorted coldly.

Hearing his dissatisfaction, Chen Hao had no choice but to throw the cigarette butt into the half-empty Coke bottle.

He turned around and looked at his son: "Xiao Ma, I will put you in front in a moment, and you can walk to school by yourself."

Chen Ma didn't say anything, just looked at the rainy day outside.

Chen Hao sighed and reached behind him.

Seeing his appearance, Chen Ma's pupils shrank, and he asked in a bad tone: "What?"

"Give me the phone." Chen Hao said coldly.

"I...I didn't bring my phone."

"Have you forgotten what I do?" Chen Hao stared at him: "As soon as I saw your eyes, I knew you were lying. Hurry up and give me your phone!"

"Being a policeman is so great?!" Chen Ma muttered, then took out a smartphone from his pocket and threw it to Chen Hao.

"Your mom just spoils you. You'll be a senior in high school next semester, and you still have the time to play with your phone? You even dare to bring it to school? What did your head teacher say? If you continue like this, you won't even be able to get into a second-tier university!"

"Don't talk about my mom!"

Chen Ma suddenly became excited: "Don't you know what my mother is like? From childhood to adulthood, all you know is solving cases. Have you ever attended my parents' meeting? You have no right to criticize me!"

Chen Hao felt a pain in his chest: "You!?"

"What's wrong with me? You shouldn't have given birth to me. My mom is a murderer and my dad is a policeman. Everyone in the school knows about my family's affairs. It's because of you that I can't hold my head up in front of anyone in school!"

"What the hell are you talking about!?" Chen Hao leaned forward and slapped his son in the face: "If you talk about your mother like that again, do you believe I will tear your mouth apart?!"

Chen Ma's face froze and flushed. He opened the car door and jumped out.

"Come back!" Chen Hao shouted as he opened the car door, but at this moment, the red light turned green and the commuter cars behind him honked their horns.

As a last resort, he had to get back into the car and prepare to drive through the traffic light.

Chen Ma was carrying his schoolbag and running towards the school in the heavy rain.

Chen Hao was about to chase after him, but the cell phone in his pocket rang. It was the Municipal Bureau calling.

While answering the call, he looked at his son.

The palm of his hand that he had used to hit his son was still slightly numb.

After Chen Hao hung up the phone, he sighed deeply.

He turned the car towards the Municipal Bureau, took out his cell phone and called his wife while driving.

It took a long time for the phone to be answered. Chen Hao knew that at this time, the elderly in the family had just woken up and needed someone to take care of them and help them wash their face and brush their teeth.

"Hello? What's wrong?"

Chen Hao pursed his lips when he heard his wife's voice, and resisted telling her what happened earlier. He just said, "If you are free this morning, send a set of clothes to Chen Ma to go to school. He got off the car without an umbrella, and his clothes are soaked."

Chen Shuhui on the other end of the phone was silent for a moment, then asked softly, "Did you and your son quarrel again?"

"Don't worry, there was no quarrel. Remember to give him the clothes as soon as possible so that he doesn't catch a cold."

But there was silence again on the other end of the phone, and no one spoke.

Chen Hao frowned: "What's wrong with you?"

"It's okay, I'll go to school now. It's raining, so drive carefully."

After saying that, Chen Shuhui hung up the phone.

Since Chen Hao was transferred to the provincial city more than two years ago, his family of four has lived in this three-bedroom apartment.

They originally couldn't afford this house, but Luo Rui helped Chen Hao make a lot of money by speculating in stocks, so the family bought this second-hand house.

The room is not big, and the furniture and appliances are all second-hand. It's not that they can't afford them, but because Chen Hao is the only one working to support a family of four. Besides, Chen Shuhui's mother has been bedridden for many years, and her monthly medical expenses alone are a huge expense.

Chen Hao's salary was not enough to make ends meet. If Luo Rui hadn't helped him in many different ways, Chen Hao wouldn't even be able to afford a cigarette.

The house is filled with a strong smell of traditional Chinese medicine all year round. Chen Shuhui is a full-time housewife. In addition to taking care of the lives of a family of four, she also has to take care of the elderly, so she looks quite haggard.

She hasn't bought any decent clothes in these years. Although her husband is the captain of the Municipal Bureau and has a high status and power, Chen Hao is introverted and just concentrates on his work. He has never tried any other tricks, otherwise this would not have happened.

In fact, Chen Hao was allocated housing as a welfare benefit. The community has a beautiful environment and is inhabited by civil servants from the Municipal Bureau and the city. They are all part of the same system.

But because of Chen Shuhui, Chen Hao refused and continued to live in this ordinary community. Even his neighbors didn't know Chen Hao's identity.

Seeing him carrying a tattered briefcase to work every day and wearing a worn leather jacket, the old men and women in the community all thought he was just an ordinary office worker, and the kind who had a low salary and was not liked by his boss.

Chen Shuhui has never told anyone about her husband's occupation, and she is not good at speaking.

The rain is still falling.

Chen Shuhui went to her mother's bedroom and helped her drink the Chinese medicine. She said, "Mom, I'm going to Xiao Ma School. When I come back, I'll give you a massage."

"Ahem, ahem... go ahead. Xiao Ma will be a senior next semester. He is under a lot of pressure and has a stubborn personality. I see him always locking himself in his room, not saying a word.

When he was a child, he loved to come to my bed and chat with me. Now that he has grown up, he doesn’t say a word to his grandma.

Shuhui, I am sorry for you and Haozi. I have been a burden to you. You should not have been born into a family like ours."

"Mom, stop talking. I am your daughter and I will always be."

"What about Haozi? He is now the captain of the detachment, such a high-ranking official. Your family should have lived a good life, better than ordinary families. But it is because of an old woman like me. I deserve to die. I should have died a long time ago."

Chen Shuhui stood up and shook her head: "If you say these words again and Chen Hao hears them, he will criticize you again."

"Haozi is not only a good policeman, but also a good person. He took care of me during the years you were in prison. He is filial."

"Okay, I'm leaving. I'll be back soon." Chen Shuhui walked out of the bedroom and closed the door gently.

The mother's bedroom is closed all year round, mainly out of consideration for her son's feelings. For someone who has been bedridden for years, it is very inconvenient to go to the bathroom, so a urine bucket is placed under the bed.

Although I change the toilet frequently and open windows for ventilation, the smell still exists.

Chen Shuhui sighed slightly. She went to her son's bedroom, took out a set of clean clothes, put them in her backpack, then picked up an umbrella from the entrance and went out.

There is a bus stop outside the community. Taking bus No. 11, you can go directly to the No. Middle School where Chen Ma studies.

It is eight o'clock in the morning. There are many people waiting for the bus at the bus stop, all of them holding umbrellas.

When the car arrived, Chen Shuhui got on, walked to the back of the car and sat in the back seat.

It was raining heavily outside, and the rain was hitting the car window glass, making a crackling sound.

Because she didn't sleep well the night before, Chen Shuhui took a nap.

Because there were many commuters and the passengers on the bus were noisy, she was woken up. When she opened her eyes, she saw a pair of eyes next to her staring at her.

She turned her head to look, but found that the other person immediately looked away.

This is a man wearing a black hoodie with the hood covering his head. He has his head lowered so his face cannot be seen clearly.

Suddenly, Chen Shuhui became alert and didn't dare to continue sleeping.

There are many passengers on the bus. If this person is a pickpocket, it is best to be careful.

During the half-hour drive, Chen Shuhui kept an eye on this person out of the corner of her eye, but the other person did not do anything. Instead, he lowered his head and fiddled with the phone in his hand, as if he was chatting with someone.

At this time, the bus arrived at the No. 2 Middle School of the city. Chen Shuhui got off the bus. She glanced back and found that the strange man did not get off the bus, but continued to sit on the bus.

After the bus left, she came to the school gate and explained the situation to the security guard, who asked her to wait.

After a while, Chen Ma came running from the direction of the teaching building in the rain. His sneakers were soaked by the rain and his trouser legs were soaked.

When Chen Ma saw his mother, the first thing he said was: "Who asked you to come? Didn't I tell you not to come to school? I told you not to come to school. Why didn't you listen?"

Chen Shuhui was standing outside the iron gate, holding an umbrella. She handed the bag through the fence and said, "Your dad called and said your clothes were wet. I'll bring you some clothes."

"I don't want it!" Chen Ma turned around and wanted to leave.

After taking two steps, he came back and said, "Don't come next time."

Chen Shuhui's hands were stiff as she watched her son's back running away into the distance.

"Little bastard!" The security guard who had been watching from the side couldn't help but curse: "Who is this?"

Chen Shuhui turned a deaf ear and felt like there was a huge stone blocking her heart.

The security guards are used to it. Today's students are very concerned about their reputation, and students from average family conditions don't want their parents to show up in school.

Especially those parents who are cleaners or street vendors feel that their identities will cause trouble to their children.

The mother in front of me should be the same. Because her family conditions are poor, this mother is disliked by her children.

The security guard sighed and walked into the duty room. He didn't know that the father of the student just now was the captain of the detachment of the Municipal Bureau. If we talk about the ability of the parents, this child can actually have his way in the school.

Chen Shuhui had no choice but to go to the duty room.

"Hello, could you please give this dress to my son's class teacher?"

"Hey, kids nowadays are such a mess. It's unfair to you as a mother. Leave it here. I'll take it away later."

"Thank you, brother."

"You're welcome. I'm a parent too."

Chen Shuhui thanked him again and then turned and left.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier. There were fewer vehicles on the road outside the school. It was already past commuting time.

To go back, you have to cross the road and wait for the bus at the bus stop opposite.

Chen Shuhui was in a heavy mood and walked towards the zebra crossing while holding an umbrella.

Her son's previous attitude and appearance were so lingering in the back of her mind that she didn't even notice the car.

"drop……"

Suddenly, a car stopped in front of her. The driver honked the horn and stuck his head out of the window: "Are you looking for death?"

Chen Shuhui was suddenly awakened and quickly said, "I'm sorry." But after apologizing, she suddenly realized that she was walking on the zebra crossing and did not violate the rules.

Then, in the blink of an eye, a van drove over quickly and rushed straight towards her!
"Oh!"

The black umbrella in Chen Shuhui's hand flew towards the rain.

……

……

"Has the rain stopped?"

In the car, Luo Rui sat in the back seat and opened his eyes.

Cai Xiaojing, who was sitting in the passenger seat, said, "It stopped a long time ago. The weather has cleared up."

Lin Chen, who was sitting next to Luo Rui, smiled and said, "It's a good sign. The rain stopped just as we arrived at the provincial capital. Does it mean that we won't be so busy in the future?"

Tian Guanghan, who was in charge of driving, sneered: "You are delusional. This time when we go back to Haijiang Branch to handle the case, Director Wei will not treat us like cattle and horses. I will take your surname."

"Tsk, you can't spit out ivory. Who asked you to have my last name? Although you said that, I see that you are very happy and not worried at all."

"Of course. I've been in Linjiang City for more than half a year. I finally returned to my unit. Do you think I'm happy?

Besides, how long have I not seen my wife, children and mother? Unlike you unmarried young people, if one person is full, the whole family will not be hungry. "

"That's right. In our group, you, Old Tian, ​​are the only one who is married. The others are all single." Lin Chen smacked his lips and looked at Cai Xiaojing.

"Captain Cai, you need to work harder."

"Why should I add more effort? Do you think I'm too old?"

"How is that possible? Captain Cai is the most beautiful policewoman in Haidong Province. Young talents who are pursuing you are lining up from Linjiang City to the province and city. At your age, you are in your prime. You have a hint of maturity and the vitality of a young person, but you don't look immature. Tsk tsk, team leader, do you think I am right?"

Cai Xiaojing blushed at these words and couldn't help but secretly glance at the back seat.

Luo Rui crossed his arms, glanced at Lin Chen, and changed the subject: "Aren't you also a police beauty in the provincial department? Don't you have any suitors?"

"Yes!" Lin Chen pouted, "But I don't care about them. My requirement is that I will date anyone who can beat me. So far, no one has challenged me."

Tian Guanghan gave her a shot: "Tsk, it's not because your father is Director Wu, who dares to marry you? Let me tell you, Lin Chen, if you don't tell me your father's identity, do you think those wolf-like and tiger-like guys dare to force themselves on you?"

"Bah, Lao Tian, ​​I just gave you face by saying that you can't spit out ivory from your mouth. Do you believe me and I will add the word 'dog' to your name?"

"Does it make any difference? Aren't you still scolding me? When we left this morning, everyone saw that the male police officers from the Linjiang Municipal Bureau were all asking you when you would be back. I also saw a young man blocking you at the door, and you two chatted for quite a while.

If they knew that your father was Director Wu, I think they would all be dumbfounded and wouldn't dare to talk to you. "

Cai Xiaojing also smiled and said, "That's not true. Our little cutie Lin Chen is loved by everyone. Her future boyfriend will definitely be a young talent. I think the one you are chatting with is the deputy captain of the technical team and also a section chief. He is actually quite a good match for you."

"Why are you talking about me?" Lin Chen blushed. "What's so great about being a section chief? I just said that my boyfriend must be able to beat me. He must be at least a detachment leader..."

"Cough cough..." Luo Rui coughed.

Tian Guanghan stole a glance at the rearview mirror and said nonchalantly, "Our team leader is the detachment leader."

"Deputy, deputy!" Luo Rui glared at him and said, "How many times have I told you this? Why do you always let it go in your left ear and out your right ear?"

"Sooner or later." Tian Guanghan chuckled.

"Drive your car."

"Why are you still driving? It's right in front of us."

As he spoke, Tian Guanghan drove the car into the gate of Haijiang Branch, and an off-road vehicle followed behind. In the car were Chu Yang, Yang Bo, Fang Yonghui and Su Mingyuan.

After half an hour.

Luo Rui knocked on Wei Qunshan's office door. When he heard no sound from inside, he opened the door and walked in.

Wei Qunshan, sitting behind his desk, wearing glasses, glanced at him.

"You have no rules. Don't you know how to knock on the door?"

"No..." Luo Rui pointed outside: "I just knocked, didn't you hear it?"

"You mean I'm deaf?"

"How dare I?" Luo Rui said angrily.

Cai Xiaojing, who was hiding behind him, stepped out and saluted, "Director Wei."

Wei Qunshan relaxed his expression and nodded: "Xiaojing, thank you for your hard work."

"Thank you Director Wei for your concern. It's not hard."

Then, he looked at Luo Rui and said, "If Xiaojing hadn't gone to Linjiang City, I think you would have been reluctant to leave. What's the matter? You promised me that we would handle the case in two places. Count the days. How long have you been in Linjiang City?"

"No, Director Wei, I just established myself in Linjiang City, and I am the deputy captain of the Municipal Bureau, I..." Luo Rui wanted to explain, but immediately realized that this old fox was not picking on him because of time issues.

Wei Qunshan glared at him: "Let me tell you directly, the provincial department held a meeting some time ago to discuss letting you be the captain of the Linjiang City detachment. Originally, they planned to let you be promoted to a higher level after you have made some contributions, but I suggested to Director Wu and Captain Zhu..."

"What did you suggest?"

“It is recommended to postpone it!”

Luo Rui spread his hands: "Why? You are hindering my progress."

Wei Qunshan sneered, took the pen on the desk, and pointed outside the window: "Look next to my building, what do you see?"

Luo Rui touched his nose and said with a wronged look: "Wasteland."

"Yes!"

"Do you think it could be expanded before I retire?"

Luo Rui complained: "Director Wei, please don't make it difficult for me. I don't have the ability to do this. Can't you just ask the city to allocate funds to you? If you don't want to beg others, how about I pay for it out of my own pocket and build a building for you?"

Wei Qunshan sneered, "How dare I beg you? Speaking of this, your Hongguang Capital Co., Ltd. is very powerful. I heard that several senior leaders in the province have visited your company many times. People are asking who is the boss behind this. Luo Rui, you'd better take it easy."

"I understand!" Luo Rui nodded.

Wei Qunshan's reminder was well-intentioned, and he did not sound as sarcastic as before. Although this old fox had a cold expression and a sinister attitude, everyone would be scared if he became serious.

However, what Luo Rui couldn't understand was that Wei Qunshan had deep connections in the Imperial City, even stronger than Hu Changyu's connections in the provincial department, but why hadn't he been transferred yet and instead had been staying in a mere branch office?

Wei Qunshan sighed and started to get serious.

Luo Rui couldn't help but feel a sinking feeling in his heart.

Sure enough, Wei Qunshan said in a daze: "You and that girl, what are your names..."

"Late autumn, not late autumn." Luo Rui replied, waiting for Wei Qunshan's criticism.

Cai Xiaojing, who was standing next to her, also pricked up her ears.

"Yes, Mo Wanqiu, I remember her. All your assets are in her and her father's name. It's okay now, but if one day you two get married, you have to be prepared and take off your police uniform. Do you understand?"

Hearing this, Luo Rui fell silent, and Cai Xiaojing was also stunned.

"What? You don't want to?" Wei Qunshan stared at him.

Luo Rui smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Are you asking me to make a choice?"

"I don't have the qualifications, I'm just reminding you."

Wei Qunshan stood up and walked out from behind the desk: "You and Chen Hao are both criminal investigation geniuses in our Haidong Province, but you both have shortcomings. I'm sure you also know about Chen Hao's situation. He is destined not to wear a white shirt in his life.

But you, Luo Rui, are more capable than Chen Hao, more perceptive and smarter. You are still young, only 23 years old, right? If you were my age, you would have already gone to the headquarters and reached the ceiling of our police system.

But the premise is that you have to make a choice. As long as you choose this police uniform, you will be able to rise straight up. Lao Hu, Captain Zhu, and Director Wu, I will definitely help you rise to the top.

Our Haidong Province must produce a ceiling figure, do you understand?"

Hearing this, not only Luo Rui but also Cai Xiaojing was frightened.

Ceiling? How scary is that?
If he can break out of Haidong Province, won’t Luo Rui be even more powerful than Wu Chaoxiong in the future?
Wei Qunshan's sudden words made Luo Rui surprised and confused.

"This……"

Wei Qunshan smiled and said, "It's still early, and there's still a long way to go. I'm telling you this just so you can be mentally prepared in advance."

"I understand."

"Okay then." Wei Qunshan patted him on the shoulder and said, "You and Xiaojing should go to Du Feng's office to meet and get familiar with the recent work content.

You just came back, and there is no need to rush to work right away. I will give you a day off and you can come back to work the day after tomorrow."

"Okay." Luo Rui nodded and walked out of the office with a lot of thoughts in mind.

Cai Xiaojing also frowned, with a lot of worries in her mind.

When the office door was closed, Wei Qunshan hurried back to his desk, picked up his cell phone and dialed a number.

Soon, the other end answered the phone.

"Teacher Wu, it's me, Wei Qunshan."

"I know it was you. You called my private number, which is stored in my phone."

"Um... I told Luo Rui about what you told me to do."

"What did he say?"

Wei Qunshan hesitated for a moment and said, "He didn't say it explicitly, but I saw that he seemed a little shaken. After all, he must be reluctant to take off this police uniform."

"That's not necessarily true. His Hongguang Capital is about to become the largest investment company in the country, and this guy is worth tens of billions. But it's okay. It's too early to say this now, but you can keep an eye on him for me."

"I understand, but..." Wei Qunshan hesitated for a while.

"Do you have any other questions?"

"Oh, no more."

"okay."

After the person on the other end hung up the phone, Wei Qunshan sighed and sat down in his office chair.

"Hey, Director Wu is also a crazy protective girl. He is really worried about his daughter's marriage. Is Luo Rui so likable? Why don't I think so?"
