I don't want to solve the case when I'm a little policeman.

Chapter 928: Demon City is OK

The next morning, Xu Zheng and three others flew directly to Shanghai's Hongqiao Airport.

After leaving the airport, Xu Zheng asked the three of them to make their own arrangements and arrive at the Mo City Police Station on time at 2 pm.

And he had already made an appointment with Zhou Yanli to have lunch together.

In the Mo City Party Committee cafeteria, Zhou Yanli's secretary brought Xu Zheng over, helped the two of them get their meals, and then took the plates to the next seat.

"Your aunt is not at home these two days, so I eat here. You can try it. The food here is similar to that in Changming."

Zhou Yanli hadn't seen Xu Zheng in person for nearly two years. At first glance today, he felt that the boy had become more and more calm, and his sharp edge had been restrained.

"I heard you say on the phone that you came to the Magic City to track down the accomplice in Aunt Mei's case. It seems that you have already made some progress in this case, right?"

In front of his elders, Xu Zheng took off his disguise for once, looking worried and bitter, "Then you guessed wrong. We only have one suspect who knows nothing about Aunt Mei's case.

The two suspects we are tracking down, including the so-called Aunt Mei, haven’t even been seen yet.”

Zhou Yanli ate the rice in his bowl by himself. His meals were simple, one meat, one vegetable and some fruit. "The more difficult the case, the more capable you are.

If you take action, the case will be solved.

So what do other people think? Are they envious or jealous?
I think it is mostly the latter.

Your abilities can be outstanding, but not too outstanding. You can be excellent, but not crush your peers.

You should give your colleagues opportunities to perform. You are already a leader, in charge of the overall situation, and watch the changes. You should learn to delegate specific work to the people below you..."

Xu Zheng listened carefully to Uncle Zhou's instructions while eating roast duck with big mouthfuls. It was worthy of being one of the top small canteens in domestic government agencies. The taste was very unique, the duck meat was fat but not greasy, and revealed a sweet fruity aroma.

According to his years of experience, this roast duck must have been roasted with jujube wood, not that cheap fruit wood.

"Uncle, you are right. From now on, I will be a small leader and should not lead the team out."

Zhou Yanli watched Xu Zheng eat with relish, as if he hadn't eaten roast duck for a long time. He smiled and shook his head, "Looking at the way you eat, others would think I'm a relative from somewhere."

"I've been running around all day, and I haven't eaten such a comforting roast duck for a long time. You don't know, I didn't eat a single roast duck in Southeast Asia last year."

There aren't many people in the cafeteria, but there are quite a few either. It's just that there are rarely outsiders coming here to dine. At most, the leaders' family members come here to have a meal.

I guess everyone who saw Xu Zheng thought he was Zhou Yanli's junior or relative.

After the meal, Xu Zheng took the initiative to say goodbye. Zhou Yanli is now in a high position and there is a rest room in his office, so he would take a nap after the meal.

After leaving the Municipal Party Committee, Xu Zheng took a taxi to visit another elder.

Yan Guiliu, a truly wealthy man in Shanghai, had helped him many times before. It was unknown how many days it would take for him to come to Shanghai this time, so Xu Zheng was thinking of visiting him first.

"Xiao Zheng, I haven't seen you for a long time. Tsk tsk, your level has really improved, and your temperament is much calmer than before.

really not bad."

Xu Zheng saw that Yan Guiliu was not as casual as before. Before, he always called him "boy". It can be seen that the increase in his rank has given him a new status in the hearts of his elders.

"Look at what you said. No matter how high my rank is, I have to respect you." If it were according to Grandma Su Tongyun and Senior Brother Yan Guiliu and Grandpa Zhao, Xu Zheng would have to call them Grandpa.

Even though Yan Guiliu is about the same age as Han Dongwen, Xu Zheng still has to call him uncle.

“This trip to the Magic City is for official business, which may be very troublesome. I guess I won’t be able to spare the time to visit you then.

So I just left Uncle Zhou and came to you."

Yan Guiliu certainly knew Zhou Yanli, but they had only met once, at Xu Zheng’s wedding. “It seems that your job is not easy, you even have to arrange meals.

I heard that you bought a house in Beijing. That’s great. You will be a Beijinger from now on.

I'll go fishing with your dad someday when I'm free."

"That's great. My dad just went to Beijing and doesn't have many friends. He's worried."

After chatting for a while, Xu Zheng looked at the time and said goodbye. He had an appointment with the relevant departments of the Mo City Bureau to meet at two o'clock in the afternoon and he could not be late.

When he arrived at the Mo City Police Station, Zhu Qing and the other three were already waiting there, along with his friends from the Criminal Police Brigade of the Mo City Police Station, Zhang Kaiwen and Liu Linlin.

Zhang Kaiwen and Xu Zheng have worked together many times. They have a good relationship and often chat in private, but they have had less contact in the past two years. When they met, he joked, "Director Xu, I finally saw you. Why are you still showing off when you come to our place?"

"Okay, Lao Zhang, we are just friends. Don't call me director. If you do, I will get angry with you." Xu Zheng shook hands with him and greeted Liu Linlin.

"Sister Linlin, I just heard that you got married last year. You didn't even inform me of your marriage. What's the matter? Are you worried that I won't be there in person or with gifts?"

Liu Linlin still has short hair, and has become more feminine after marriage. Like Zhang Kaiwen, she has also been promoted in the past two years, but not as fast as Xu Zheng.

It's all according to plan.

"Sister Xiao Rui has already given it to me. If you want to give me double, I don't mind."

"How about I give it to you next time?"

"Get lost, I only get married once."

They were all old friends who hadn't seen each other for a long time. It seemed like they had endless things to say and endless jokes to make. It was not until Captain Yang called that Xu Zheng and the others ended their animated chat.

In the conference room, Xu Zheng and his group, as well as the core members of the Fourth Criminal Police Detachment of the Criminal Police Corps in Magic City, gathered together.

Xu Beixin, deputy director of the Magic City Bureau, came over as a leader to support Xu Zheng, "You haven't been to Magic City for a long time.

Calculating the time, I haven't seen you for two years, right? "

Xu Zheng did not dare to be arrogant in front of Xu Beixin. As early as when he was transferred to the Criminal Police Detachment and came to Shanghai to perform tasks, everyone was very supportive of his work.

Privately, he valued him very much and wanted to transfer him to Shanghai more than once.

He is an elder who values ​​him very much.

"Director Xu, you think I don't come often enough. How about I come to visit you more often in the future?"

Xu Beixin waved his hands quickly, looking disgusted, "Don't do that. Your arrival represents a major criminal case. We have all become your employees."

"Haha..." Team Yang and his men all laughed when they heard that. Zhu Qing, Qiao Zhenjun and the other two didn't expect that Xu Zheng had such a good relationship with the Magic City police.

Even the deputy director looked at him differently.

Xu Zheng, Xu Beixin, and Captain Yang chatted for a while before explaining the purpose of their visit. "We previously sent a letter asking you to help check on Lu Xiaoyu's current situation.

Is there any new progress?"

Captain Yang nodded to Liu Linlin, who understood and took the initiative to say, "Lu Xiaoyu lives in Rongying Community, Xilin North Road, Songhua District. She is now retired and at home. Her daily job is to help her son take care of the baby. Her basic activities are in the community.

Rarely goes out.

Regarding your request, we checked all the elderly people over 60 years old around Lu Xiaoyu, but we did not find any man who met your requirements. "

Xu Zheng took the tablet handed over by Zhu Qing, which listed in detail Lu Xiaoyu's daily schedule and living habits. These were all information they had obtained by asking people from neighbors and property management.

This level of investigation is almost short of directly questioning Lu Xiaoyu, the person involved.

"Xiao Xu, are you sure that the Xiong Kaishan you are looking for is hiding next to Lu Xiaoyu?" Xu Beixin knew the progress of the task force on the Aunt Mei case.

The reason why he rushed to the meeting room was not only because he had a very good relationship with Xu Zheng and valued him.

The main reason is that the Aunt Mei case itself is a major case that deserves attention from all parties.

Xu Zheng paused the shot of Lu Xiaoyu with his tablet, "It's hard to say. Xiong Kaishan disappeared without a trace with another suspect we were tracking down after the Aunt Mei case broke out.

Excluding the possibility that he is dead, we can only place our hopes on Lu Xiaoyu."

As a veteran criminal investigator, Captain Yang, like other colleagues, was very interested in Aunt Mei's case. He also learned about the task force's current difficulties through Xu Zheng.

But he didn’t have any good ideas, “Maybe we shouldn’t just investigate the men, maybe also the elderly people, because there is another suspect you are looking for.

Lu Mingzhou.

Isn’t she over 50 years old this year?
Maybe Xiong Kaishan is not in Shanghai, and she has been entrusted by someone to stay here to take care of Lu Xiaoyu and her son."

"Captain Yang, we haven't really considered your suggestion before." Xu Zheng spoke the truth and explained, "It's mainly because we have already arrested a human trafficker.

He has a lot to do with both of these suspects we're looking for.

In his eyes, Lu Mingzhou is definitely a scheming and cruel woman, so we all think it is unlikely that this woman would stay here incognito to take care of Lu Xiaoyu and her son.

But now that I think about it, it’s not absolute.”

Zhang Kaiwen personally went to Rongying Community to conduct an investigation in the morning. He recalled: "We asked the property management and neighbors like Lu Xiaoyu, and it seemed that she lived a very simple life.

In the more than 20 years I've lived in the community, I've never seen her have a boyfriend.

Her relationship with her neighbors can only be considered harmonious. She rarely greets them proactively, and she has almost no social circle.

She doesn't dance square dance, doesn't participate in community volunteer service, and rarely goes out except for work.

She rarely even attends activities where her son needs to be accompanied by a parent at school.

In a word, she is not sociable and has no friends, so she has to be around older men or women who often stay with her.

Then the loudspeakers in the neighborhood will definitely know about it.”

"Is that so?" Xu Zheng didn't expect things to be so bad. "Lu Xiaoyu was forced to have a child. After so many years, I didn't expect that those unbearable past events are still haunting her.

It seems she will never forget it in her life."

Looking at Lu Xiaoyu's current appearance, Xu Zheng can only say that the saying "appearance reflects the heart" is very scientific.

Because in the video, Lu Xiaoyu looked bitter and resentful. She was very thin, with obvious wrinkles on her face. She hardly smiled when she was watching her granddaughter in the community playground.

What's more, the clothes she wore were very conservative. Not only were the colors not bright, but even the styles were the same as they were twenty or thirty years ago.

No matter how you look at her, she doesn't look like those people of her age. She looks so decadent and sitting there, as if she is already a dead person.

"Xiao Xu, what are you going to do next?" Team Yang was interested in Aunt Mei's case, but knew that they, the Magic City, could not get involved.

So for the next work, he planned to let Zhang Kaiwen and Liu Linlin assist Xu Zheng.

Actually, Xu Zheng didn’t have any good ideas at the moment. He still stared at Lu Xiaoyu in the video and replied without raising his head, “I haven’t figured out how to carry out the specific work.

But now I want to take a walk in Rongying Community.

See if you can get close to the person involved.”

Captain Yang simply said, "Okay, let Zhang Kaiwen and Liu Linlin take you there. If there is anything you need us to do, please inform me in time and I will send someone over."

Xu Zheng hurriedly thanked them and briefly discussed the control situation near Rongying Community. Then he and Liu Linlin drove to the destination. As for Zhu Qing and the other three, they were also asked to rush over.

They will also be involved in the investigation at that time.

More than half an hour later, everyone arrived at Rongying Community. Xu Zheng and Liu Linlin pretended to be a man and a woman and disguised themselves as young people who came here to look at houses and entered the amusement park inside the community.

It was around three o'clock in the afternoon and the weather in Shanghai was very mild. I was drowsy from the sunshine.

The two found a place to sit down, and Liu Linlin continued to talk about the situation they had investigated, "Generally, Lu Xiaoyu would bring her grandson here to play for a while at nine in the morning and four in the afternoon.

According to her neighbors, she rarely leaves the community.”

If Lu Xiaoyu rarely goes out, then even if Xiong Kaishan stays here, they should rarely see each other. Xu Zheng had an idea, "You said Lu Xiaoyu never leaves the community.

Is it because she knew Xiong Kaishan was nearby?

By the way, can you check the police records of Lu Xiaoyu and her son over the years? "

"I can't rule out your suspicion." Liu Linlin took out her cell phone and called a colleague to ask him to help investigate. Then she said, "If I were Lu Xiaoyu.

Her first reaction when seeing the human traffickers who abducted and forced her was definitely fear, but she wanted to protect her son.

But how could she, a weak woman, protect her son? She would definitely call 110 and ask the police for help."

"That's not necessarily true!" Xu Zheng sighed, analyzing Lu Xiaoyu's psychological journey, "Although most of what she experienced back then was due to Xiong Kaishan.

But she herself is partly to blame.

After being rescued, she may hate Xiong Kaishan as well as our police.
You must have seen this kind of thing, right?

The victim will be angry at everyone because of the hurt she has suffered, and she may feel that the police came too late.”

Liu Linlin also sighed, "Lu Xiaoyu's life can be said to be very miserable. She was a good college student but was kidnapped and forced to give birth to a son. Her family did not agree to bring him back to Shanghai.

I raised my son well, got him married and had children, but who would have thought that they would get divorced within two years.

As a result, she took on the responsibility of raising her granddaughter.

According to her neighbors, her son was very unreliable and rarely came home after the divorce.

Alas, I think it would be best if we don’t disturb her.”
