Chapter 613: Meeting Grandpa

About twenty minutes later, He Shirong closed the file, stood up and walked over, sitting on the only remaining single sofa, facing Chen Yi.

Teng Dabin and the other five were quite crowded on the long sofa. The length was enough, mainly because they were very gentlemanly and left a large space for Su Ying to show respect for women.

"Don't be restrained, smoke if you need to, isn't the ashtray here?" He Shirong said with a smile.

Chen Yi was not polite either, and immediately took out a cigarette and lit it.

The others did not move and kept quiet.

He Shirong did not need to know too much about the Jingcheng case, he only needed to know that the case was solved and the suspect was brought to justice, so he just asked a few simple questions and changed the topic to talk about [public travel].

The two had already discussed this matter on the phone yesterday and agreed to meet to discuss it in detail.

Public travel?

Teng Dabin and the other five were not informed in advance, and they were a little excited. Going out to play is certainly better than working, even police officers need to relax.

Chen Yi glanced at a few people and thought to himself that you are too happy too early. The travel that He Shirong mentioned may be different from what you imagined.

"Not only is it a public-funded travel, but it is also a long vacation. Let's go to Dongli for fun." He Shirong smiled, "Depart within three days, round-trip flights, all expenses will be reimbursed."

Chen Yi was stunned. Long vacations not only stipulate [travel], but also [location]?

How can travel also stipulate locations.

"Dongli? Why go to Dongli?" he asked.

He Shirong smiled and said, "No reason."

Chen Yi tentatively asked, "Can we go somewhere else?"

He Shirong: "No, we can only go to Dongli."

Chen Yi basically determined that this trip was probably not a trip. What kind of work was arranged for him? Why was he still hiding it?

Are you afraid that speaking out will affect your judgment?

It shouldn't be that serious. He thinks his IQ is still good enough and he won't be influenced by preconceived information. The reason is definitely not here.

Is there an unknown case that needs to be investigated, or is there a known person waiting to be investigated?

"Minister He, can you tell me straight? What are you going to do in Dongli?" Chen Yi asked.

He Shirong still said the same two words: "Travel."

Chen Yi was helpless: "Okay, I know, I will leave as soon as possible, to Dongli...travel."

The two of them are now in a state where they know what the other is thinking. Chen Yi hopes to communicate with each other, while He Shirong chooses to play dumb.

Before leaving the office, Chen Yi asked the last question.

"Minister He, there must be a region, right? Dongli is so big, where should I...travel?"

He emphasized the word "travel".

He Shirong looked normal, pretended to think seriously for a while, and replied: "Dongli Shanhai District, although that place is not the most prosperous, it is definitely worth a visit."

Chen Yi remembered and returned to his office.

Smart people have their own way of communicating. He Shirong will definitely mention the Shanhai District. The difference is whether Chen Yi asked or the other party took the initiative to mention it.

Sitting in the slightly empty office, Chen Yi immediately called He Shixin over and asked him to search the Dongli Shanhai District online to see if there were any special places.

He Shixin brought a laptop and after a careful search, he said that everything was normal, there was no major news and no major criminal cases pending.

"That's not right, there must be a problem." Chen Yi said to himself.

He Shixin said: "It's said to be a public-funded tour, but the tour scope is narrowed to a district in a municipality, and other places cannot be visited. Is this asking us to investigate the case?"

Chen Yi: "Since it's an investigation, why don't you just tell us the case."

He Shixin couldn't answer.

Chen Yi leaned back in his chair and thought for a long time, and asked He Shixin to check He Shirong's resume.

It's very simple, Baidu can do it, it's not a secret.

He Shixin's index finger slowly slid on the mouse wheel, suddenly paused, and immediately said: "Director of the Dongli Shanhai District Public Security Bureau."

Chen Yi's eyes condensed slightly, and he sat up straight suddenly.

The problem seems to be more serious than he thought. No wonder He Shirong didn't say it clearly. It's probably not just a criminal case.

Let's make an inference.

First, set the premise: there is a case in Dongli Shanhai District that needs to be investigated.

He Shirong used to be the director of the Shanhai District Branch, so he basically knows all the serious crimes and even disorder in the jurisdiction. Since he knows, why doesn't he deal with it?

Maybe someone stopped him from dealing with it, maybe the case is too complicated for him to deal with, or... both.

But no matter which possibility it is, He Shirong doesn't need to hide it, just say it directly.

Just say that there are illegal and criminal activities in Dongli Shanhai District and let the special case team investigate and solve it, isn't it enough?

"Either he is not sure what the Shanhai District is like now, or someone is checking and balancing." Chen Yi thought to himself.

The former is fine, the duty of the police is to maintain social order, if it is the latter... he doesn't want to be used as a gun by He Shirong.

"Not really? He should know that I would overthink it, and that I would check his resume to confirm that he was the director of the Dongli Shanhai District Branch."

Chen Yi wanted to ask him in person again, and play his cards straight.

He still had a good impression of He Shirong, and hoped that the relationship between the two would not be too complicated.

"Maybe I was too suspicious, he just wanted me to go to Shanhai District to see if those small tails that had been left behind had completely disappeared or had risen and grown. After all, he was once the highest public security leader in the area, and he had some feelings for him."

Chen Yi asked He Shixin to leave, took out his mobile phone to find Fang Yanjun's phone number, hesitated for a long time, and dialed it.

Knowing that his grandson-in-law wanted to meet, Fang Yanjun readily agreed and asked Chen Yi to come anytime after 7 o'clock in the evening.

"Come on an empty stomach and eat at my place."

"Okay, grandpa."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Yi picked up the landline and called the special case team, telling the five people to move freely and contact before departure.

That night, Chen Yi came to Fang Yanjun's house. As soon as he entered the door, he smelled the smell of hot pot. Following the smell, he saw that the clear water in the small copper pot on the dining table had begun to boil.

The copper pot has good thermal conductivity, which can make the ingredients evenly heated. The clear water bottom can guarantee the original flavor of the ingredients to the greatest extent, and the taste is delicious.

Except for the green onion and ginger slices to remove the fishy smell, nothing else is added.

Personal taste can be adjusted in the seasoning bowl.

This is Laodicheng Hot Pot, one of the more famous northern hot pots.

Seeing Chen Yi coming, Fang Yanjun waved: "Come on, the water is just boiling, let's put some mutton first, your physique can eat two pounds, okay?"

Chen Yi took two quick steps to help Fang Yanjun put the mutton slices into the pot, and said: "Two pounds is too much, I can only eat one pound, I can't just eat mutton, vegetables and other things are necessary, and I have to save some room for noodles at the end."

Fang Yanjun smiled and nodded: "Yes, balanced nutrition.

Sit down, drink with me."

"I'll do it." Chen Yi opened the bottle of wine and filled it up for Fang Yanjun first, and then filled it up for himself.

The mutton slices were very thin and cooked quickly. After a few seconds, the two of them started to chopsticks and chatted after a sip of wine.

Fang Yanjun took the initiative to ask: "Has the case been solved?"

Chen Yi nodded. Fang Yanjun smiled: "It's still a 100% case-solving rate. We need to keep it up. If we encounter a case with little chance of success, we can ignore it."

Chen Yi was about to speak, Fang Yanjun continued: "Have you had any troubles recently? It should be more than just coming to see me, right?"

Chen Yi talked about the Dongli Mountain and Sea District and his doubts about He Shirong. Fang Yanjun was not an outsider, so the topic could be more sensitive. He only trusted the old man in the whole Imperial City.

"Grandpa, he shouldn't cheat me, right?"

The word [cheat] has multiple meanings, Fang Yanjun can understand.

It was easy in Dongzhou, but when he arrived in Imperial City, Chen Yi had to ask Fang Yanjun every step he took to avoid trouble. In Imperial City, any kind of fight could happen. If he had a choice, he didn't want to get involved.

Facing Chen Yi's question, Fang Yanjun smiled and said, "Do you think he asked you to go there not just to investigate the case?"

Chen Yi said truthfully, "It's just a little strange. If it was just to investigate the case, why didn't Director He say it directly? Why did he use the name of a public travel?"

Fang Yanjun: "He Shirong has been a policeman for his whole life. As far as I know, among people of his level, he is the only one who has worked his way up from a front-line criminal policeman. He has seen too many dark sides of society. Others can't compare."

Chen Yi nodded, "I know."

Fang Yanjun: "If He Shirong has any problems, I won't let you go there. He works under him. I have discussed this matter with Jingfeng long before you came to the Imperial City.

Don't worry, there must be his own reasons for not saying something. I am very pleased that you can take the initiative to ask me. It is always right to be cautious.

Or... you can call Jingfeng and talk to him? "

The last sentence made Chen Yi wave his hand quickly: "Forget it, forget it, it's not a small matter."

He was able to ask Fang Yanjun because of his relationship. In fact, this matter has no impact on him. When he arrived in Dongli, he only needed to perform his duties. He could decide on his own for anything beyond his duties.

Since Fang Yanjun said that He Shirong had no problem, he believed it.

In this way, there was no possibility that he would be used as a gun or a guide stone.

He Shirong arranged for the special case team to go to Dongli for a "public travel" to investigate a certain person or a certain case, but it could not be directly delegated.

Direct delegation requires a name. If the special case team went to Dongli with a "name", it would definitely cause a lot of noise.

That's Dongli, an international metropolis that can be compared with Dicheng. If the police chief openly sent a special case team to settle there, the impact would be a bit big.

Chen Yi expressed his thoughts, and Fang Yanjun agreed: "In addition, there is another concern. The high-level officials of Dongli have close relations with Dicheng. He Shirong just formed a special case team and sent it directly to Dongli. It is inevitable that it is targeted.

On the other hand, if the special case team finds problems in Dongli and then reports them, it will be completely different.

Don't forget, you are an inspector of the Criminal Investigation Bureau. No matter what happens, you have the right to report directly to the police chief. Dicheng will handle it as quickly as possible."

Chen Yi suddenly realized that he really didn't expect this level and underestimated the complexity of Dicheng.

Some things are not necessarily done just because you want to do them. You need to change the way and method, be more tactful, as long as you can achieve your goal.

The grandfather and grandson clinked glasses and drank the last sip of wine. Chen Yi wondered what kind of person or case could make He Shirong so concerned.

There is no doubt that it must not be an ordinary criminal case.

"It seems that the person to be investigated has some status in Dongli Shanhai." Chen Yi was slightly drunk and said, "But at least give me a name. Dongli is so big, and the Shanhai District is not small either. If I go there, I will become a headless fly." Fang Yanjun smiled and said, "You haven't been there yet, have you?" Chen Yi: "Well... that's true." He Shirong said that he would leave within three days. Maybe he would give me some information during these three days.

Fang Yanjun: "It is also possible that he really just wants you to travel and confirm some things by the way, not that there is really a case to investigate.

If you ask me, I think this possibility is more likely."

Confirm some things?

Chen Yi thought about it. He Shirong was once the director of the Shanhai District Branch. Confirm some things... that is, there was a seed in Shanhai District. This seed may have grown into a towering tree now. The other party wants to know whether this tree is black or white.

Or, he was originally a big tree, and it was white at that time. He Shirong wants to know if it has turned black now.

For various reasons, he cannot give orders directly, so he used the name of public travel.

"You don't say it directly, maybe because you don't trust me that much?" Chen Yi said.

Fang Yanjun did not answer directly: "You have only known each other for a few days."

Chen Yi nodded slightly.

The indirect relationship of Teng Dabin alone is not enough to make himself a subordinate treated sincerely by He Shirong. There must be a period of probation.

"Is Teng Dabin here to monitor me?"

The thought flashed through his mind, and Chen Yi rejected it. He believed that Teng Dabin would not do such a thing. Even if He Shirong asked him, he would probably refuse.

After experiencing Sendong Island, he was willing to believe this life and death comrade.

Fang Yanjun: "Dongli is not like other cities. A single move can affect the whole body. Be cautious and don't be impatient. Of course, if there is really a crime hidden in it, don't hesitate to pull it out directly. If there is resistance, call He Shirong directly."

Chen Yi's mood brightened a lot, and he smiled and said: "I still have confidence in Dongli. The public security there is relatively stable and reliable. At least I have never heard of negative news for so many years."

He was talking about negative news rather than major criminal cases. Major cases are inevitable. Where there are people, there are disputes, not to mention the decadent Dongli.

Fang Yanjun nodded: "This is exactly what we all want to see. By the way, how is Shuyu doing recently? She hasn't contacted me for half a month."

Chen Yi: "I just called her yesterday. She's fine. Her morning sickness is not very serious. I hope she can spend these seven months comfortably."

Fang Yanjun hummed: "She's not angry because you're not around, right?"

Chen Yi: "No, Shuyu has always understood me."

Fang Yanjun was relieved.

When a wife is pregnant and her husband is away from her for a long time, it's easy for the relationship to go wrong. He was worried about this.

The divorce rate of police officers is high, and the divorce rate of criminal police is the highest among all police types. Fortunately, Fang Shuyu is a forensic doctor and her father is also a policeman. She has been influenced by her father since she was a child and has a strong ability to accept and withstand pressure.

After dinner, Chen Yi left without staying for long.
