Detective: From the Police Academy

Chapter 502 Who is the mastermind?

Zhang Haibo put his hands behind his back and looked at Luo Rui approaching. He swallowed his saliva, turned around quickly, and wanted to jump downstairs while holding onto the railing.

Luo Rui grabbed the backpack behind him and pulled it back hard. Zhang Haibo flew backwards and fell heavily to the ground.

The more Zhang Haibo wanted to commit suicide, the uglier Luo Rui's expression became.

What we learned from the Jintong Welfare Home is that Zhang Haibo, as a computer teacher, teaches students very attentively. Not only does he teach patiently, but he also often uses his own salary to buy new school bags and new clothes for students.

Zhang Haibo has also taught in mountainous areas for several years. He graduated from university with a bachelor's degree and a master's degree, majoring in computer science. He won many academic awards during his graduate studies.

He could have become a full-time teacher, or worked for a large Internet company, but he gave up and took the initiative to teach at the Golden Boy Welfare Home. He said that these fatherless and motherless orphans needed him more.

Such a 'good guy' actually offered a huge reward for his own life on the dark web!
Luo Rui didn't understand and couldn't understand!

Zhang Haibo lay on the ground and struggled to stand up. His eyes were red and he stared at Luo Rui with gritted teeth.

Two plainclothes officers rushed forward and quickly restrained him.

Li Peiwen took off Zhang Haibo's backpack and threw it to the network security personnel standing nearby. The latter took it and started operating on the ground.

Li Peiwen looked at Luo Rui and raised his chin: "Take him back? Or ask him here?"

Luo Rui's mind was a little confused. He blinked and turned to look at her: "I heard that you are very good at interrogation?"

Li Peiwen narrowed his eyes, pulled him aside, and whispered, "This Zhang Haibo has a clean background except for posting a bounty on you on the dark web. Do you really want to deal with him like this?"

Luo Rui said coldly: "Director Li, the news I received is that the people who wanted to kill me have already entered the country, and now they must be lurking in Guangxing City.

You have to understand that these are hostile forces from abroad. As a national security officer, if you are more compassionate than us police officers, then it would be best to find someone else to investigate this case. What do you think?"

Li Peiwen was stunned. These words were obviously humiliating, and Luo Rui did not give her any face.

She licked her lips and sneered, "Boss Luo, don't be ungrateful. I'm asking for your opinion for your own good. Don't ask anything later. If you want to take the evidence back, it will be impossible!"

Seeing Luo Rui hesitated, Li Peiwen felt relieved and made his point directly.

"Our national security has conducted a detailed investigation of the influential people in Haidong Province, and these people are all under our control!
For example, your wife, Mo Wanqiu, rarely communicates with you now, right? In the past six months when you were away on business, she contacted you only a few times, and every time you called her, she never took the initiative to contact you.

Moreover, she is also a major sponsor of the Golden Boy Welfare Home, and the money she donates every year is astronomical. Not only does she know Zhang Haibo, but your wife has also inspected the quality of his teaching when he was teaching.

So, Mr. Luo, I am saving your face. If you don't want it, I can find those who want to kill you one by one!"

Luo Rui's throat rolled and his heart seemed to be grabbed by something.

In the past, no matter how vicious the criminals were, even if his life was on the line, he had never been as scared as he is now!

Li Peiwen showed a hint of sarcasm in his eyes and reminded: "Boss Luo, I'll give you a minute to think about it. Think about it carefully."

Luo Rui met her gaze, but Li Peiwen had already turned around and told everyone present: "Take him to his home."

"Okay!" A national security officer in a suit nodded.

Zhang Haibo was immediately taken away, passed through the fire door, and took the elevator downstairs.

At this time, the two network security department personnel who were sitting on the ground raised their heads and reported to Li Peiwen: "Director Li, the situation is clear, it is indeed this computer, and we have found a very important clue!
Before we arrived, Zhang Haibo received an anonymous message on his computer with seven words written on it: "Police are at your door, run!"

Li Peiwen smiled slightly, looked at Luo Rui, and then asked him, "Can you find out the IP address? Or the other party's identity?"

"needs time."

"Okay, I'll give you some time. Hurry and find the person for me!"

"it is good!"

Luo Rui's pupils shrank, and he clenched his fists and asked Li Peiwen, "Do you have any cigarettes?"

Li Peiwen nodded, took out a pack of cigarettes and a lighter from his arms, and handed them to Luo Rui: "I smoke sometimes, one before work and one after work."

Luo Rui took the cigarette box, took out a cigarette and handed it to her.

Li Peiwen smiled and shook his head, jokingly saying, "My brain is full of dopamine now, so I don't need this stuff."

Luo Rui nodded, put the cigarette to his lips and lit it with a lighter.

He took a puff and stood facing the stairwell, his body motionless.

The corridor ceiling is equipped with voice-controlled lights, which flicker and then go out.

No one spoke at this moment, all the lights went out, and Luo Rui's body fell into darkness.

Li Peiwen stomped her feet, the lights came on again, and Luo Rui's tall and lonely figure appeared in front of her again.

"Mr. Luo, there are still thirty seconds." Li Peiwen said with a smile.

As soon as he finished speaking, the lights went out again, and Luo Rui's figure merged into the darkness again. Only the cigarette butt in his hand was the only source of light in the space.

Li Peiwen counted silently in her heart, and when she raised her foot, she was ready to stomp again.

The lights suddenly came on, Luo Rui had already turned around, threw the cigarette butt on the concrete floor, and crushed it hard with his feet.

He raised his head, his eyes sharp, "Investigate! Find out who is behind. I want to see who wants me dead!"

Li Peiwen's expression froze, then he raised his eyebrows and gave a thumbs up: "As expected of you, the nickname Luo Yanwang is not in vain! Okay, let's check it out!"

Li Peiwen took out the walkie-talkie in his hand and ordered the Guoan personnel downstairs: "Pry his mouth open!"

Afterwards, Li Peiwen pushed open the fire door, Luo Rui followed her, and the two took the elevator downstairs.

The door of Room 1104 was closed and there was no one in the corridor.

Luo Rui walked to the door, but was stopped by Li Peiwen: "Wait a moment."

Luo Rui nodded, leaned against the corridor wall, and closed his eyes slightly.

There was no sound in the room. He and Li Peiwen stood in the corridor, as if waiting for a resident to come home.

The door of the next room opened, and an old lady came out carrying garbage and looked at the two of them warily.

Li Peiwen stepped aside and greeted with a smile: "Grandma, happy New Year?"

The old lady ignored her, took a few quick steps, and took the elevator downstairs.

Li Peiwen shrugged and looked at Luo Rui, wanting to chat for a few words. At this time, the door of Room 4 was opened, and her subordinate stuck his head out and nodded to her.

Li Peiwen straightened his face and called Luo Rui to go in together.

After the two people entered the room, they saw Zhang Haibo being dragged out of the bathroom, with water all over his head, face and clothes.

"Cough cough..." His eyes were red and his throat kept coughing.

After the two plainclothes officers let him go, he knelt on the floor with his knees, supporting himself with his hands, and kept coughing up saliva from his throat.

Luo Rui squatted beside him and stared at him intently: "Zhang Haibo, can you speak now?"

Zhang Haibo raised his wet face, his eyes were dull and red spots appeared on his eyeballs. He was no longer as hateful as before.

"I...I said!"

Luo Rui stood up, dragged a chair, helped him up, let him sit in the chair, and patted his shoulder.

Zhang Haibo kept gasping for breath and didn't dare to look at his face.

Luo Rui sat opposite him, emitting a majestic aura from head to toe, as if the air around him had dropped to freezing point.

He nodded to the other party: "Go ahead, I'm listening!"

Zhang Haibo pursed his lips, took the towel handed to him by Li Peiwen, wiped his face, and said, "The person who asked me to offer a reward for you on the dark web is my old classmate."

Luo Rui's originally tense shoulders suddenly relaxed.

Li Peiwen, who was standing aside, let out a "ha" sound.

Luo Rui leaned forward and smiled, "Tell me his name, what's his name?"

Zhang Haibo gritted his teeth, hesitated for a moment, and then replied: "You have seen him, his name is Jin Han."

Li Peiwen waved his hand, and his men immediately turned on the computer and began to investigate the person's background information.

At this moment, Luo Rui relaxed completely and shook his head speechlessly: "It turned out to be him!"

Li Peiwen was also familiar with this name. When she was about to ask, Luo Rui had already spoken: "This person is from Deep Blue Biotechnology Company, Jin Hong's eldest son, a doctor. This family was arrested and sentenced to death.

Why didn’t I think it was him, King of Sands, Jinhan, haha, it rhymes!”

Li Peiwen was very familiar with this case. After all, it was a major case of trafficking in human organs, and many people were involved.

Luo Rui looked at Li Peiwen and smiled: "I'm sorry to disappoint you."

Li Peiwen shrugged: "Really?"

She was a little unwilling, so she stood in front of Zhang Haibo and asked, "Tell me in detail, what's going on?"

Zhang Haibo coughed twice and replied, "Jin Han is my high school classmate. We used to have a very good relationship, but we haven't been in touch since graduation.

Half a year ago, he came to me and asked me to do him a favor. He said that his whole family was dead and that the person who destroyed his family was a man named Luo Rui. He said he wanted to buy this man’s life with money.”

Zhang Haibo glanced at Luo Rui, and then continued: "Jin Han knew that I was good at computer technology, so he asked me to post a bounty on the dark web. He offered 50 million yuan and was looking for a killer overseas.

I thought he was joking at the time, but I didn't expect he was serious, and he even said he would give me one million as a reward.

I didn't agree immediately, but Jin Han kept coming to me, and I was short of money, so I agreed to his request and offered a reward on the dark web for him."

At this time, Li Peiwen interrupted him, pointed at Luo Rui and asked: "You didn't investigate him beforehand? You don't know who he is?"

Zhang Haibo shook his head: "I don't know, and I haven't checked it online. If I knew, I would definitely not agree!"

Luo Rui raised his eyebrows. This was the social experience of a technical and engineering geek.

Li Peiwen was somewhat speechless and said: "Zhang Haibo, you are an ordinary person. Why do you do such a illegal thing?"

Zhang Haibo lowered his head and replied, "I told you, I'm short of money."

"What do you want so much money for?"

"Give it to the school and help those children." Zhang Haibo said without raising his head.

Luo Rui didn't want to dwell on this issue, so he asked him, "Someone has already accepted the order on the dark web, right?"

Zhang Haibo nodded.

"Where are they?"

"I don't know. They are in contact with Jin Han."

"How many people are there?"

Zhang Haibo shook his head: "I don't know."

"Do you know where Jin Han is?"

"I don't know." Li Peiwen continued to ask: "Who tipped you off an hour ago?"

Hearing this, Zhang Haibo pursed his lips.

Li Peiwen put his hands on his hips and stared at him coldly: "Will you tell me or not?"

Zhang Haibo swallowed his saliva and shook his head: "No one tipped me off!"

"Okay!" Li Peiwen called over a subordinate and ordered, "Take him to the bathroom and ask him!"

Zhang Haibo wanted to struggle, but someone grabbed his shoulder, lifted his body up and dragged away.

Luo Rui stood up and looked at Li Peiwen: "Director Li..."

Before he finished speaking, Li Peiwen waved his hand and said, "I know my limits."

Luo Rui nodded and stopped talking.

Less than five minutes later, one of Li Peiwen's subordinates came out and reported: "We found out that it was Fan Jianjun who informed him!"

"I understand." Li Peiwen nodded and looked at Luo Rui: "Boss Luo, I already know what you want to know. To catch Jin Han and the people from abroad, will you join us, or..."

Luo Rui waved his hand and shrugged: "Do as you please. According to the rules, I shouldn't interfere in this case."

"Ahaha." Li Peiwen teased, "You seem to know the rules."

Luo Rui waved his hand and said to her: "Thank you for your hard work. I will leave first. If you catch anyone, please let me know."

Li Peiwen got angry when he saw him like this: "Goodbye!"

------------

Luo Rui took the elevator downstairs with ease. It was already eight o'clock in the evening and it was completely dark.

He left the community and Nongshan’s business car drove up to him.

Luo Rui opened the door and got in the car. Nong Shan, who was sitting in the passenger seat, turned around and saw that he looked relaxed. He smiled and said, "Boss, you looked so sad in the morning, why are you so happy in the evening?"

Luo Rui waved his hand and replied: "People sometimes think too much."

Nong Shan nodded: "That's what happened. By the way, Mr. Mo called you several times but couldn't get through, so he called me."

Luo Rui took out his cell phone and saw a dozen missed calls. He hesitated for a moment, put the phone in his pocket, and thought to himself that he would call again when he got home.

After seeing his actions, Nong Shan pursed his lips and asked, "Boss, shall we go home now?"

Luo Rui thought for a moment and said, "Well, find me a flower shop first."

"On our way back, there is a flower market on the street."

"Okay." Luo Rui responded and closed his eyes to rest: "Call me when we get there."

"Okay." Nongshan nodded to the driver.

The driver started the car and the black business car drove towards the beach villa.

Twenty minutes later, the car arrived.

The beach villa is on the other side of the mountain, in the sunny area.

The main road leading to the beach villa is in the shade of the mountain. The area is densely covered with vegetation and there are no buildings on both sides of the road, only low sheds.

These sheds were built by flower farmers and are surrounded by banana trees. Various large flower plants are planted in the fields.

Because it is close to the Spring Festival, flower farmers have built sheds on both sides of the road, and the sheds are filled with a wide variety of flowers, including bougainvillea, phalaenopsis, peonies, and daffodils.

During the day, many people buy flowers here, but now it is night and there are not many people here.

Nong Shan turned around and whispered to Luo Rui in the back seat: "Boss, wake up, we're here."

Luo Rui opened his eyes, took a breath, and looked out the car window. There were bright lights on in the shed on the side of the road, and bright flowers and potted plants were placed inside.

"Okay, I'll get off and take a look."

"Okay." Nong Shan opened the passenger door and got out of the car.

He walked around the front of the car, came to Luo Rui, and said with a smile: "Boss, buy flowers for Mr. Xiao Mo?"

Luo Rui smiled and said, "I don't know what kind of flowers she likes. She has been with me for all these years, but I have never given her anything."

You gave me money, hundreds of millions! Who can be as awesome as you?
...Nongshan secretly complained in his heart. Although he thought so, as a man, he could actually empathize with her. Women are emotional animals, and sometimes it's not about money.

"Buy Phalaenopsis," Nongshan suggested.

Luo Rui frowned: "She likes this?"

Nong Shan nodded: "Before the little girl was born, every time Xiao Mo drove home and saw Phalaenopsis orchids on the market, she would pick the best one to take home and put it on the balcony of her bedroom.

Moreover, Phalaenopsis symbolizes the freshness, elegance and beauty of women, the purity of love and friendship, happiness, and everything goes well.”

Luo Rui raised his eyebrows: "You know a lot."

Nong Shan smiled and said, "Nong Ying told me all this."

"Then why didn't she buy it later? I saw that the only flowers planted in the house were in the yard."

"Xiao Mo is always worried that the little girl will have allergies, and he doesn't allow the nanny to wear perfume. The foreigners we hired have too strong perfume on their bodies, and if we don't let them wear it, they will have body odor.

Mr. Xiao Mo warned them not to get close to the girl unless there was something special going on. "

"Really?" Luo Rui sighed. He had missed too much in terms of family and felt guilty.

The two were talking while strolling on the side of the road. Seeing a shop with Phalaenopsis orchids displayed at the door, Luo Rui walked in.

The ceiling of the shed was lit with a row of white woven light tubes, and the shelves were filled with a wide variety of flowers. Phalaenopsis and daffodils were the most eye-catching, occupying almost one-third of the space.

An old man with white hair stood behind the shelves, wearing a waterproof apron tied around his chest. He looked a bit like Hayao Miyazaki, the director of My Neighbor Totoro.

He was holding a pair of scissors in his hand and trimming the branches of a potted Podocarpus.

When he saw someone coming in, he put the scissors on the table, clapped his hands, and greeted them with a smile: "Happy New Year, both of you."

"Happy New Year." Luo Rui glanced at him.

Nong Shan said, "Boss, where is the most beautiful Phalaenopsis orchid you have here?"

The old man pointed to the shed and introduced: "They are all here. Which variety do you want? There are many varieties. For example, the one in front of you is called Philippine Phalaenopsis. Its petals are brown with purple-brown horizontal stripes."

Luo Rui glanced at Nong Shan, meaning to let him make the decision. After all, he didn't even know what Mo Wanqiu liked.

Nongshan thought for a moment and said, “The best in your family.”

This sentence was simple and straightforward, leaving Luo Rui speechless. It turned out that Nong Shan was also talking nonsense.

But it seems to be true that the most expensive one is the most beautiful.

The old man raised his eyebrows: "This... I'm sorry, the best pot is the flower king we released this year, and it has been reserved by someone else. Tomorrow, New Year's Eve, we have to deliver it to the customer's home."

Nong Shan didn't know how to speak anymore. He couldn't do anything that would please many people, so he could only look at Luo Rui.

Luo Rui stepped forward and said, "How about this, let me see the flowers first?"

“You can take a look, but it’s really booked.”

"Let me feast my eyes first, okay?"

The old man hesitated for a moment and nodded: "It's okay to take a look."

Luo Rui thanked him.

"You guys..." The old man didn't finish his words, and changed his tone: "Anyway, it has to be delivered early tomorrow morning. I'll ask my guys to move it out for you to see."

After saying this, he walked into the shed on the right.

Luo Rui took a look and saw that there were even more flowers inside, of all kinds.

Looking at the flowers, his mood also became beautiful.

Soon, the old man called two servants and brought out a very beautiful pot of Phalaenopsis.

The flowers are pure yellow, the plant's flower stems are slender and long, the flowers are staggered, and exude a rich floral fragrance.

The old man proudly introduced: "This is a yellow Phalaenopsis, a second-level protected plant, very rare. We named this pot, Emperor."

Luo Rui and Nong Shan read the words, then looked at each other, and saw two words in each other's eyes: Want!

Luo Rui turned around and immediately asked, "How much?"

The old man frowned and said, "My dear guest, I just said that this pot of flowers has been reserved!"

Luo Rui didn't care. He took out his wallet, took out his bank card and handed it to him: "Can you pay by card here? I'll pay twice the price of the other party!"

The old man looked embarrassed.

"three times!"

"Uh……"

Seeing that Luo Rui was still bidding, Nong Shan felt sorry for the money and said hurriedly, "Three times the price, plus another hundred yuan, no more."

The old man gritted his teeth and said with difficulty: "Okay, I'll give it to you reluctantly."

"Ha!" Luo Rui smiled.

The old man took Luo Rui's card and said with a smile: "The price I sold it to the previous owner was 11 yuan. The total amount I charge you is 33 yuan."

"What?" Luo Rui was shocked: "So expensive?"

Nong Shan was also dumbfounded and stood there in a daze.

"This is the Emperor, Boss. It's very rare."

Luo Rui licked his lips and asked, "Can I ask who is so rich that he would spend 110,000 yuan on a pot of flowers?"

The old man pointed to the hill behind him and said, "There's a rich woman on the other side of the hill, driving a Rolls-Royce Phantom."

Hearing this, Luo Rui blinked several times.

Nongshan was like a koala, standing there in a daze.

Luo Rui sighed: "Move my car up there."

"Okay." The old man responded with a smile. Just as he was about to call the waiter, he saw two people standing outside the door. In an instant, his pupils suddenly dilated.

Luo Rui saw his expression and turned around quickly, only to see two black gun muzzles pointed at him...
