Siheyuan: He Yuzhu since 1958

Zhang Hu joked, "Do you think Zhuzi is your wife? When your wife makes vegetable and meat buns, you can only see the vegetables but not the meat. When she makes all-meat buns, you can't get any meat on the first bite and you overeat on the second bite."

He Ping rolled his eyes at Zhang Hu, took a big bite of the meat filling, and said, "Do you think my wife is stingy?! There's nothing I can do about it." Then he asked, "How was the trial?!"

Zhang Hu lit up a cigarette, took a puff, and replied, "After a whole night of interrogation, we only managed to pry open one person's mouth. This person didn't confess anything of value. These people are not easy to deal with. It may not be easy to get them to talk in a short time. Anyway, I have already called the bureau, and I guess someone will take over the case soon."

"Knock! Knock! Knock!" As soon as Zhang Hu finished speaking, there was a knock on the door.

He Ping shouted, "Come in!"

A middle-aged man with a square face pushed the door open and walked in. Zhang Hu couldn't help but yelled when he saw the person coming, "Zhou Jin?!"

Zhou Jin smiled and said, "I thought you two didn't recognize me as your old friend?!"

He Ping asked, "Why are you here?!" Then he said, "Have a seat!" He Ping stood up, walked to the cabinet, poured a glass of water, walked to Zhou Jin's side, handed the cup to Zhou Jin, and asked, "Have you had breakfast?!"

Zhou Jin replied, "I have eaten! Don't be polite." Then Zhou Jin took out a piece of paper from his pocket, handed it to Zhang Hu and He Ping, and said, "I came here today to pick someone up."

Zhang Hu asked: "Did you take over this case?!"

Zhou Jin asked: "Is there anything wrong?!"

Zhang Hu reminded: "These people are desperate criminals. It may not be easy to get confessions from them."

Zhou Jin said: "When I received the order, I was already prepared."

He Ping asked: "You are doing well in Tianjin, why did you want to come to Beijing?!"

Zhou Jin replied: "Do you think I want to come?! Isn't there a way?! I guess the leaders saw that I was too idle in Tianjin, so they deliberately gave me something to do."

Zhang Hu asked tentatively: "I heard that our branch has a new deputy director, is it you?!"

Zhou Jin smiled and replied, "It really is me."

Zhang Hu and He Ping looked at each other unconsciously. Zhou Jin saw their reactions and asked with a smile: "What's wrong?! Judging from your reactions, you two don't seem very happy?!"

Zhang Hu replied: "It's not that we are unhappy, but that we are too happy. However, not everyone is as happy as we are."

Zhou Jin asked: "Where are Tian Yanjun and the others?!"

He Ping replied, "They are in Xicheng District. Tian Yanjun is now the deputy director of Xicheng District." He then joked, "You two didn't get along when you were in Yan'an. Why did you suddenly think of asking him today?! Are you missing him?!"

Zhang Hu said, "If the group of people arrested before dawn are really the suspects in the two murders in Xicheng District, I guess Xicheng District will come to claim them soon."

Zhou Jin said with a smile: "If they come to ask for it, do we have to give it to them?!" Then he changed the subject and continued: "Okay! I won't chat with you anymore. Let's complete the handover procedures. I'll take the person away."

"Okay! I'll help you with the formalities right away!" Zhang Hu grabbed the certificate from Zhou Jin's hand, completed the handover formalities as quickly as possible, and asked the people in the station to cooperate with the people brought by Zhou Jin to put Scarface and his men on the truck.

After the truck drove away, Zhang Hu and He Ping were about to return to the office when they saw a jeep speeding over. Not long after, the jeep stopped in front of Zhang Hu and He Ping. Tian Yanjun got out of the car and saw Zhang Hu and He Ping, looking arrogant, and asked in a cold voice: "Did your office catch a group of gangsters before dawn?!"

Zhang Hu glanced at He Ping from the corner of his eye, hinting at He Ping: "Am I right?!" Then he looked at Tian Yanjun and said: "We caught a group of gangsters." Then he asked: "What's the matter?!"

Tian Yanjun said: "This gang of criminals are suspects in two massacres in Xicheng District. I want to take them away!"

Zhang Hu said, "Tian Yanjun, although we know each other well, we should at least go through the formalities if you want us to hand the person over to you, right? You can't just say something casually and expect us to listen to you and hand the person over to you, right?!"

When Tian Yanjun heard Zhang Hu's words, his expression changed slightly, his brows furrowed, and he said in an unquestionable tone: "I'll take the person away first, and we'll complete the formalities later."

He Ping said, "You are late. We have already handed over the person. He just left. If you go after him now, you may be able to catch up with him." After saying that, He Ping made a gesture to Zhang Hu, and the two of them immediately entered the gate of the Public Security Bureau.

Tian Yanjun looked at the backs of Zhang Hu and He Ping and muttered angrily, "You two bastards, just wait for me." Then Tian Yanjun turned around and got into the jeep, shouting at the driver, "Chase them!"

Although the jeep was faster than the truck, it didn't know which road the truck was taking, so after chasing for a while, the jeep still couldn't catch up with the truck. In desperation, Tian Yanjun could only return to Xicheng first.

On the other hand, when Tian Yanjun returned to the Xicheng Branch Office, Zhou Jin took the gangsters to the detention center and organized personnel to conduct a surprise interrogation of the gangsters.

"Knock! Knock! Knock!" The secretary knocked loudly on Tian Yanjun's office door.

Tian Yanjun heard a knock on the door and shouted, "Come in!"

Gao Kang walked into the office and said, "Deputy Director Tian, ​​someone named Xie Lao Er wants to see you."

Tian Yanjun asked: "Where is he?!"

Gao Kang replied: "He is at the gate."

Tian Yanjun hesitated for a few seconds and said, "Call him in!"

"Yes!" Gao Kang responded and left Tian Yanjun's office. Tian Yanjun looked at the slowly closing office door, frowning, thinking to himself: "Why is he coming here at this time?!"

About five or six minutes later, Gao Kang knocked on Tian Yanjun's office door again. Tian Yanjun heard the knock and shouted, "Come in!"

Gao Kang then pushed the door open and walked into the office, saying, "Here comes the person."

Tian Yanjun said: "Please let him in!"

"Yes!" Gao Kang responded, put Xie Lao Er into the office, walked out and closed the office door.

After Tian Yanjun closed the office door, he asked sternly, "Why are you here?! Didn't I tell you not to come here if you didn't have to?!"

Xie Lao Er said: "Scarface and the others are in trouble, how can I not come?!"

Tian Yanjun sneered and asked, "Aren't you afraid that I will have you arrested?!"

Xie Lao Er replied: "If you want to arrest me, you won't let me in. We are all working for you. Don't think of killing the donkey after it has done its job.

Tian Yanjun said: "Do you think I don't want to save them?!" Then he asked: "What's going on?! So many of them are going to fail?!"

Xie Lao Er said: "I was just keeping watch at the door. I don't know what's going on inside."

Tian Yanjun narrowed his eyes, looked at Xie Laoer from top to bottom, and then from bottom to top and said, "Scarface and the others are in trouble, why are you okay?!"

Xie Lao Er said: "Don't try to put the blame on me."

Tian Yanjun then asked, "Okay! Even if I said something wrong just now. Why did you go to Dongcheng?! Even if you were going, why didn't you tell me in advance?! Do you know?! You put me in a very passive position!"
