Chapter 421 Leaving Suicheng, a Wonderful Night

One week later.

Chai Xiao was detained by Suicheng police for fraud, and the case was transferred to the procuratorate. After review, the procuratorate decided to prosecute Chai Xiao for fraud.

As for the result, it is unknown for the time being.

Perhaps, Chai Xiao will be sentenced for fraud.

Perhaps, Chai Xiao will be released in court due to insufficient evidence.

Many cases are like this, without a clear distinction between black and white. Chai Xiao subjectively intended to seize Mo Shanwei's company, and the means were deceptive in nature, and the amount was too large, which met the identification criteria for fraud.

But objectively, Chai Xiao was coerced by Li Tianling, which was a helpless act. How he would be sentenced depends on the court, which has nothing to do with the criminal police.

Lan Pengfei is indeed a romantic, and it is a bit too much to say that he is a dog licker. There is affection between him and Chai Xiao.

After Chai Xiao was arrested by the police, he immediately hired the best lawyer to take charge of Chai Xiao's case and spent a lot of money to ask for a not guilty defense.

He could not accept a light sentence, and he must be not guilty.

Is it possible?

Of course it is possible. Li Tianling's confession will be of great help to Chai Xiao.

Chen Yi, who was free, went to meet Ruan Yunlei for a meal to thank him for his help in the investigation of this case. Although the clues came a little late, the thanks must be delivered.

At the same time, he also called Meng Yi to express his gratitude and agreed to get together again after returning to Yangcheng.

The police and the people are inseparable, and Chen Yi always implements this point. The efficiency of investigating cases is affected by many factors.

Three murders, opening a casino, and illegal possession of firearms. Chen Yi has reported the case to the provincial department. Wei Jianfeng affirmed and praised the work results of the investigation team, and said that Chen Yi would handle the aftermath of the case on behalf of the provincial department, and must not leave any tails.

The impact of this case is still very large. The most serious thing is not the case itself, but why Li Tianling was safe for so long.

While Zheng Congliang led people to conduct an in-depth investigation, Chen Yi met with the inspector of the Suicheng City Bureau and relevant personnel of the Supervision Office to discuss solutions and solutions. Violators will be severely punished and will not be tolerated.

This incident alarmed the director. He had rarely appeared in public recently. He immediately left the Suicheng General Office Building and went to the Municipal Bureau to inquire about the case in person. He talked with Chen Yi for a long time.

As a deputy of Suicheng, he never expected that the research team would investigate more and more. The situation was no longer just a case. When he went to Yangcheng for a meeting in the future, this matter must be put on the table.

Dare to face the problem, find the root cause, and strive to solve it comprehensively. This is his promise to Chen Yi.

Whether in the past life or now, Chen Yi is not familiar with the administrative officialdom, but he will not be fooled by the other party. He listens to what is useful and pretends not to hear what is useless.

Of course, face still needs to be given. After all, the other party is one level higher than him, and they may meet again in the future.

The arrival of the local research team in Suicheng not only makes the city look brand new, but also indirectly changes the public security and atmosphere. It is expected that the police work in Suicheng will get better and better in the future as the investigation and rectification of gaps are implemented.

Zhuge Cong and others understood this, admired Chen Yi, and were proud of themselves. It was not an ordinary experience to be able to participate in the criminal investigation and research work of a city and achieve good results.

Xia Lan also suddenly understood why her father wanted to find a way to get her into the research team. No matter how much merit Chen Yi, the team leader, had made and how much practical work he had done, the team members would follow suit, which would be of great help to her future promotion.

The old ones are still the best, and decades of life experience are not in vain.

However... the biggest gain for her is to see all kinds of life, temper her character, reshape her worldview, and become a better police officer.

Civilian police are also police officers. When they encounter injustice, they still need to stand up. This is their duty and has nothing to do with their job responsibilities.

In the past few days after the case was over, she and Chen Yi learned a lot.

When all the problems were almost solved, Chen Yi remembered the phone call Jiang Fanlei had made before.

Which town was it?

In the yard of the Municipal Bureau, Chen Yi sat under a tree to enjoy the cool and took out his mobile phone to read the chat history.

I heard that this tree was planted in 1960 and moved several times with the relocation of the Municipal Bureau. I don’t know if it’s true or not, but it’s quite cool anyway.

If it’s true, it’s really meaningful, a symbol of justice.

“I give up, village clerk, where can I find someone.” Chen Yi lit a cigarette and was in trouble.

It’s easy to find someone, just make a phone call and ask, the question is who to call?

“Captain Chen, what do you mean by finding someone?”

Xia Lan’s voice came. She had just come out of the bathroom and was wiping her white hands with a tissue when she heard Chen Yi muttering to himself.

The task given to her by the provincial department was to assist Chen Yi personally, not to take care of his life, but to assist him in his work. If she took care of his life, Fang Shuyu would not be able to pass it.

Chen Yi did not hide it: "A relative of a friend wants to work as a village clerk, and I am considering who can talk to him."

"Ah?" Xia Lan was suspicious, "Village clerk? I don't think he would call you, right?"

Her father worked in Yangcheng Building, and she had seen and heard a lot since she was a child. The other party's behavior was equivalent to borrowing a hundred yuan from a millionaire friend.

People are different, and the scenery you see at different heights is naturally different. What you disdain to own may be the goal that many people strive to pursue.

No matter in which world, this is true.

Chen Yi: "Childhood friend, a very good friend, it's normal to call me."

Xia Lan said: "I have an uncle who is the director of Yangcheng Street Office, who can handle this matter."

"Hmm?" Chen Yi was not surprised, "Is it convenient?"

He was not pretentious, it was just a phone call. The unit the village clerk was working with was the county sub-district office. No one would care if there was one more person or one less person.

Unless the leaders of the county and town change and the position of village clerk is eliminated, it will have nothing to do with him. It was originally added to facilitate the coordination of internal business in each village.

Xia Lan smiled and said: "Convenient, convenient."

She was very happy to help Chen Yi. Although it was just a small favor, it could enhance the relationship between them. Her father would definitely praise her for her ability to do things well.

There are not many opportunities to help Chen Yi.

Chen Yi: "Then I'll send you the name."

The director of the Yangcheng Subdistrict Office is at the same level as himself. It is easier to add a village clerk than to add an auxiliary police officer at the township police station. Just say it.

After settling this matter, Chen Yi lamented that Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon in the Provincial Department was either very good or complicated, and ordinary people really couldn't get into it.

By the way, Lin Chen doesn't really like Xia Lan, right? Why is this kid just like me, having the habit of eating soft food... No, true love, that's called true love.

…

Another three days have passed, and ten days have passed since Li Tianling attempted to kill Mo Shanwei with a gun. The investigation is not over yet, but it has been dealt with almost, and the rest are small matters.

The casino problem implicated some people. Chen Yi got the list but did not put it online, leaving it to Suicheng to handle on its own.

He came to Suicheng just for research. It was enough to finish the case. Some things should not be overdone.

When it was time to leave, the director of the municipal bureau personally hosted a banquet for Chen Yi to see him off, accompanied by Wang Shengrong, Zheng Congliang and others.

This was the first drink and the last drink of this survey. Chen Yi did not refuse and drank a few drinks.

After three rounds of drinking, Zheng Congliang used the strength of the wine to persuade Chen Yi to express his true feelings. It is quite tiring to be in a front-line position for so many years. Before a new big case comes out, get out of the job and let the young people do it. I believe them. We can do a good job and will not allow the backlog to continue to appear.

"I have no choice but to give up. Captain Chen has a bright future. I respect you." Zheng Congliang raised his glass, "With Captain Chen here, I am full of confidence in the future of Dongzhou's police force."

The two of them met and drank.

This situation seemed familiar to Chen Yi, as if he saw the shadow of Zhou Yebin in Zheng Congliang. The difference was that the former's career had come to an end, while the latter was still on the rise.

They are all veteran detectives and deserve respect.

After the dinner, Chen Yi declined everyone's invitation to stay another night. He waved at the door of the hotel and got into the commercial vehicle. The seven of them were ready to leave Suicheng.

The driver is Qin Fei, the co-pilot is Zhuge Cong, and the third row is Fu Guoyong, Lin Chen and Cheng Hanjun.

Chen Yi sat in the second row.

"See you again when you have the chance." Chen Yi said goodbye, and the electric sliding door slowly closed.

In the back, people watching the vehicle drive away had different reactions. Some had complicated expressions, some were reluctant to leave, some were respectful, and some were relieved.

The arrival of the research team put pressure on many people, but I have to say that this trip was really not in vain.

Cancer is easy to treat in the early and middle stages, but it is very troublesome in the late stage. Being able to nip it in the bud is good for everyone in the city.

While the vehicle was driving, Chen Yi was resting his mind with his eyes closed due to alcohol intake, while the others couldn't sit still and started chatting away.

"Isn't it unreasonable for the crime rate to be low and the crime detection rate to be low? This seems to be the case in relatively poor cities?" Zhuge Cong, the co-pilot, turned around.

In the ten days after Li Tianling was brought to justice, they participated in the investigation, saw a lot of things, met a lot of people, and inevitably gained a new understanding of Suicheng.

Xia Lan in the middle row remained silent and prepared to be a listener.

Cheng Hanjun leaned forward and said: "If you drink enough, you will think about lust. To put it bluntly, you will find something to do when you are full. Moreover, there are more temptations in the prosperous city, so the mentality must be different. The feeling Suicheng gave me... everyone is at ease." There are no requirements for the current situation.”

Fu Guoyong: "Actually, it means stability. Stability is very important."

Lin Chen: "Stable poverty?"

Fu Guoyong: "It's not bad, it means stable poverty. The crime rate was the lowest in the 1970s and 1980s. When the prosperity began in the 1990s, everyone's mentality changed. They longed for a better life, and desire was a crime. A necessary condition for a high rate.”

Zhuge Cong: "Yes, judging from the data, the crime rate exceeded 200 per 100,000 people in the 1990s, and it has exceeded 300 in the new century, which is almost seven times that of the 1970s and 1980s."

Fu Guoyong: "The data will not lie. The crime rate in Suicheng is low because of poverty. This is true, but have you discovered that there are many hidden crimes? This is actually a contradiction. The Suicheng Bureau needs to do something about this matter. Deep review.”

Cheng Hanjun: "Why would the provincial department ask the research team to come to Suicheng? I don't know what is going on in the other two cities. By the way, where should we go next? Jiangcheng or Yicheng."

There are three places the research team is going to this time: Suicheng, Jiangcheng and Yicheng.

The work in Suicheng has been completed, and the speed is relatively fast. It does not take a month. The remaining two cities need to be completed before the year. If the efficiency is similar to that in Suicheng, maybe the task can be completed before winter.

Chen Yi didn't open his eyes when a voice sounded: "Go back to Yangcheng to rest for two days. The donkeys in the production team also have to rest."

Several people laughed and raised their hands in agreement. Police officers are also human beings. If they can choose, work and rest will of course be the first choice. Anyway, there is nothing important in Jiangcheng and Yicheng.

"Where to go from Yangcheng?" Cheng Hanjun asked.

Chen Yi moved his shoulders slightly: "Let's talk about it later, where do you want to go first?"

"Jiangcheng!" Cheng Hanjun blurted out.

"Jiangcheng!"

"Jiangcheng!"

Others gave the same answer.

Chen Yi finally opened his eyes and scolded: "You really know how to pick a place. Jiangcheng is the most worthwhile ancient city in Dongzhou. Are you going there for research or for fun?"

Several people were embarrassed. Zhuge Cong turned around and smiled: "Captain Chen, you led the special task force to solve that serial murder case. Of course we want to go and see it, because the tomb robbery incidents in previous years were like making a movie."

When the case was mentioned, Cheng Hanjun and the others also became interested. They reviewed the details they knew and asked Chen Yi if they were not clear.

Chen Yi was not a person who killed people. Since they were chatting, he would answer what he could answer and perfunctorily answer what he could not answer.

"By the way, what is the main focus of the research in Jiangcheng?" Cheng Hanjun asked a nutritious question.

Zhuge Cong said: "Do I need to think about this? Every city has its own criminal characteristics. As far as I know, there are frequent cases of fraud, theft, robbery, counterfeiting, and smuggling of cultural relics in Jiangcheng. The local environment and soil nurture the local people. What was the name of the crime that was rarely seen in the past few years? It was the case in Jiangcheng."

Cheng Hanjun: "What crime?"

Zhuge Cong's memory was briefly blank: "I forgot, gift... gift what."

Xia Lan added: "Give away precious cultural relics."

Zhuge Cong's eyes lit up: "Yes, yes, give away precious cultural relics. In the case of Jiangcheng, illegally giving away precious cultural relics to foreigners is punishable by imprisonment of less than five years."

Cheng Hanjun said, "Oh," and looked at Chen Yi: "Captain Chen, what did Captain Wei say? Do we have a focus when we go to Jiangcheng?"

Chen Yi: "Guide criminal investigation work and clear up backlogs."

Cheng Hanjun: "Uh..."

It's the same sentence, it's the same as not saying it.

Chen Yi: "Don't think too much. If there is a case, investigate it. If there is no case, just treat it as a public travel. Jiangcheng's detachment leader Zhao Qiming is different from Zheng Congliang. He is young and promising. The research team is instructing on the surface, but they must also have a learning attitude. Do you understand?"

Several people: "Yes, Captain Chen."

The word "travel" made them feel less stressed, and there was expectation in their eyes. Cheng Hanjun quickly realized that Chen Yi did not say whether he was going to Jiangcheng or Yicheng. Seeing that the other party closed his eyes again, he stopped asking.

It was already evening when they returned to Yangcheng. Qin Fei drove everyone to the designated location and gathered at the provincial department the next morning.

The research report of Suicheng needed to be written. After Chen Yi threw out this task, Zhuge Cong was very active and took the initiative to take on this work, promising that he would finish it even if he worked all night tonight.

Chen Yi told him not to worry, tomorrow was not the time to hand in the report.

Writing reports is exclusive to newcomers, just like new police officers need to write case closing reports. Zhuge Cong and others are not front-line investigators, and writing reports can quickly increase experience.

This is not a burden, but an opportunity to learn. Since Zhuge Cong is so positive, let him do it.

After getting off the car, Chen Yi entered the community and stood at the door of his house. He did not tell Fang Shuyu that he was back. He confirmed that the other party was at home through WeChat chat, and knocked on the door at this moment.

"Who is it?" Fang Shuyu's voice came out.

Chen Yi: "Your husband!"

After a moment of silence, the door suddenly opened. After seeing Chen Yi outside, Fang Shuyu wanted to give him a hug, but she stretched out her hand and pulled him.

The door closed.

A short separation is better than a new marriage. Clothes were scattered all over the floor. The two went from the entrance to the living room, and from the living room to the bathroom. The warm water in the bathroom fell on the floor, making a rustling sound. The blurred glass reflected Fang Shuyu's slender figure, and the mist was full of charm.

"Wait, I'll wash it."

"It's okay."

It was a wonderful night.

Chen Yi was actually a little tired, but dopamine could sweep away the fatigue.
