"Secretary, is Mu Xize awake?" Nie Qing called Su Ji as soon as he came out of Yu Sheng's place.

"I haven't woken up yet." Su Ji was supposed to be standing in the corridor to answer the phone, which sounded a bit noisy.

"That can't be helped. Let me know when he wakes up. If there is something for him to check." Nie Qing said in a deep voice.

"...Are you crazy? He is seriously injured, and you have to order him to work just after the operation?" Su Ji sounded surprised and dissatisfied, and then objected: "No, at least let him rest completely first. Two days, wait two days later and then decide whether he can start working based on his physical condition."

"I can't wait that long." Nie Qing's tone was extremely serious at this time, "Secretary, the situation is urgent now, and I can't explain it to you in detail for the time being, but I hope you can trust me. I didn't mean to embarrass him on purpose. Do."

"...Of course I believe you. But based on his current physical condition..." Su Ji still hesitated, but after thinking about it, he chose to listen to Nie Qing and agreed: "Okay then, I will take care of him when he wakes up." inform you."

"Thank you." Nie Qing paused for a moment after finishing speaking, and added, "By the way, I found out some things about Dean Su yesterday, and I'm afraid it won't be so honorable to say it... You'd better be mentally prepared."

"Hmm..." Su Ji responded softly, "Don't worry, I know what kind of person my dad is like, better than most people."

"That's good. I'll check other things now, and you can contact me if you have any news."

Nie Qing hung up the phone after finishing speaking, then called Luo Qi again.

Luo Qi spent the whole night at Yuan Liang's place yesterday, and both of them didn't go to sleep until dawn, so when he received the call from Nie Qing, Luo Qi was in a state of ignorance, lying on the bed without opening his eyes He put the phone up to his ear and hummed lazily: "Hello...?"

"I'm sorry for waking you up so early." Nie Qing was indeed deeply sorry for his behavior, but he couldn't wait any longer, so he had to wrong the little brother and said, "I want to ask you to check last night. According to the situation, have you found the current address and work information of those people?"

"Oh! Team leader!" Luo Qi sounded sober, "We found it all! What should we do next? Should we send someone to protect these people?"

"You don't need to protect everything." Nie Qing thought for a while, "Well, let me tell you the names of a few people, and you can remember them."

"Okay team leader! Wait a moment!" From Luo Qi's side came the thin rustling sound of cloth rubbing, followed by the sound of paper flapping, and then Luo Qi seemed to be biting the cap of his pen with his teeth, and said vaguely: "Team leader, tell me!"

"Well. Among the eleven people you told me yesterday, except two attending physicians, Chang Hao and Jiang Lu, and one anesthesiologist, Huang Jiaming, there are still eight people left. In addition, we need to add Wang Libo, a clinical engineer at the time. , the murderer's target should be among these nine people."

"Nine people? But didn't the murderer only target seven? Then which two did he exclude?" Luo Qi asked strangely.

"For the time being, I can't be sure. But I suspect that it's either the itinerant nurse or the clinical engineer, because these people will not have direct contact with the patient during the operation... But it's hard to say. Just in case, we still have to treat them Everyone implements secret protection, so it's safer." Nie Qing said while thinking.

"Okay!" Luo Qi quickly responded, "Who is the team leader going to send? Who am I staring at??"

"I'll arrange the manpower. As for you—" Nie Qing paused, "Send me the information of these people and go back to sleep. I'll come back to you later if I have something to do. Thank you Brother Liang for me."

Luo Qi wanted to refute as soon as he heard it, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he yawned uncontrollably.He felt that he was a little sleepy right now and couldn't keep his eyes open. If he just went out in such a daze and did something wrong, it would be a disservice.

So, Luo Qi struggled a little in his heart, and finally replied dejectedly: "The good team leader... I will find you before noon!"

"Well, I will contact you when the time comes. Send the information to my mailbox." Nie Qing settled down again and hung up the phone.

Then Nie Qing took a taxi directly to the Municipal Public Security Bureau. On the way, he received an email from Luo Qi. After reading it in detail, he had already decided on the specific personnel arrangement in his heart. After assigning the tasks, Nie Qing felt somewhat more at ease in this way.I feel that as long as this idea is correct, there should be no more victims in a short time.

And the rest is the main purpose of his coming to the city bureau today.

After arranging the manpower, Nie Qing came out of the criminal investigation hall and went directly to the file room on the third floor of the Municipal Bureau.

Because it was Saturday and it was the end of the November holiday, there was only one elderly policeman on duty in the file room, who was lazily leaning on the back of his chair and yawning.

When Nie Qing came in, he tapped lightly on the open iron door twice, the old policeman raised his eyes, saw him, smiled friendly, and said hello, "Xiao Nie, are you here to study again? "

Because Nie Qing used to come to the archives room to pull up previous case files for research, so the people in charge of duty here are basically familiar with him. This old policeman would occasionally pour him a glass when he was fascinated by it. Keep water on hand.

"Master Zheng." Nie Qing greeted the old policeman, and then said, "I'm not here today to investigate the files of the case, but to check the personnel files of a few people."

"Personnel file?" The old policeman looked at him suspiciously, "Why do you suddenly want to look at this? Who do you want to check?"

"I...need to investigate the family background and member relationship of some individuals in the Criminal Investigation Detachment. I also know that it is against the rules to make such a request suddenly, but it is related to several murder cases, so I can only ask you." Nie Qing stood with her head bowed. At the desk, very sincerely.

However, the old policeman looked at him seriously and shook his head, "No, Xiao Nie, I can't promise you this."

"Master Zheng—"

"Xiao Nie, the rules are the rules, and you can't make an exception easily. Otherwise, if everyone comes to say the same thing to me, should I agree to all of them? What's more, as you come to me through the back door, you won't be afraid that others will come to you. Poking your back?" Master Zheng interrupted Nie Qing.

"Master Zheng, I understand the truth, but there is indeed a reason why I did this. Even if people find out about this in the future, I'm not afraid of them talking about it." Nie Qing looked a little stubborn.

But Master Zheng sighed softly, looked at him and said, "Since you are not afraid of what others will say, it means that you think that what you are doing must be for a legitimate reason. Since the reason is legitimate, then why do you take this sneaky way?" The way? Don’t hesitate to go to your captain and ask for an approval slip before coming here, isn’t it justified?”

"Our captain..." A flash of hesitation flashed in Nie Qing's eyes, and his reaction naturally couldn't escape the eyes of an old man like Master Zheng.

"Among the people you want to check, shouldn't your captain be there?" Master Zheng asked very bluntly.

Nie Qing was slightly taken aback, then frowned, and gave a low hum.

He understood that lying was useless in the present situation.

"Xiao Nie." Master Zheng called Nie Qing's name, but he didn't speak immediately after that. He must have looked at him for a while before he decided to speak: "Although I don't know the reason why you want to pay the captain, I won't ask, but if you come to me without formal documents like you, I can't give you things."

"However, you also know that it is inconvenient for me to ask Fu Dui for permission due to my current situation..." Nie Qing lowered her head and said.

Master Zheng nodded, "I know, but you don't have to go to him."

"What do you mean?" Nie Qing raised his head suddenly.

"Although in terms of the regulations, borrowing personnel files must be approved by your direct superior, and the level of this direct superior must be at least above the deputy director, and in several detachments, it is required to be above the captain." Master Zheng stared straight. He looked at Nie Qing and said.

"However," Master Zheng suddenly changed the topic, "It is also mentioned in the charter that if you encounter special circumstances, you can apply for a leapfrog approval."

"Breakthrough?" Nie Qing's first thought was naturally his father Nie Shenxing.

But Master Zheng seemed to see through his thoughts and shook his head at him, "To avoid suspicion, you'd better not go directly to the director. Besides Bureau Nie, there are three deputy directors, nine directors and fifteen detachment leaders." , you can ask these people for approval."

"I understand." Nie Qing pondered for a few seconds before raising his head and said, "Thank you, Master Zheng."

"You don't need to thank me. Come back to me after you get approval." Master Zheng stood up and took the cup to fetch water. Nie Qing understood that this should be regarded as a rather euphemistic "exit order".

So, after Nie Qing thanked Master Zheng again, she consciously left the file room, but she was not sure where she should go for a while.

In fact, Nie Qing knew very well that if he went to one of the people mentioned by Master Zheng just now to ask for permission, that person would definitely give him permission.

But in this way, it was tantamount to exposing his doubts about the insiders of the Criminal Investigation Detachment to the upper echelon.In case this matter is accidentally exposed by someone, Nie Qing's own troubles are less important. The key is that it is likely to arouse the vigilance of the other party, so that the subsequent investigation will be very difficult.

Therefore, before he was fully sure, Nie Qing didn't want to make things big.

After all, it is not an easy task to really doubt the colleagues you get along with day and night.

Nie Qing walked downstairs slowly while thinking, and finally decided when he walked out of the gate of the Municipal Bureau, since the line in the police department is temporarily blocked, he can only attack Lin Nuan first...

"Isn't this Team Leader Nie?" Nie Qing was walking with his head down, when he suddenly heard someone greet him, he raised his head.

"Hello, Captain Qiu." Nie Qing recognized that the person walking towards him was Qiu Luxin, the captain of the anti-drug detachment.

"Team leader Nie came so early, so hardworking?" Qiu Luxin seemed to be teasing Nie Qing, but his facial expression was a bit serious, as if he didn't even move his muscles.

Nie Qing nodded slightly and said, "Let's do something."

"Oh, you've worked hard. Then don't waste your time, go get busy." After Qiu Luxin finished speaking, he was going to walk around Nie Xiangxiang.

However, Nie Qing stopped him from the side, "Captain Qiu, wait a moment, I happen to have something to ask you. Can I spare you 5 minutes?"

"Do you have something to ask me?" Qiu Luxin turned his head and looked at him suspiciously, "Do you want to ask about Funing County yesterday?"

"That's right. My friend and I personally experienced the shooting incident in Funing County yesterday. One of them was grazed by bullets in the abdomen, and the other was shot in the chest and still hasn't woken up." Nie Qing said with his eyes slightly darkened. Going down, staring at Qiu Luxin, "But people who listened to me later said that when they rushed to the scene to investigate, you forcibly called them back. I think you should at least give me an explanation."

"Oh?" Qiu Luxin completely turned around to face Nie Qing, with playful eyes, "Are you questioning me?"

Nie Qing shook his head, "No, I just need you to explain the situation to me. If according to what you said, the anti-drug detachment was performing an important task at Wenhua Road, Funing County, then why didn't your people come in time when the shooting happened? Rescue? And if the place where you performed the mission was not nearby, why did you ask them to withdraw all of them on the grounds of carrying out the mission when the criminal investigation detachment went to investigate later? From my point of view, your approach It's hard to understand."

"My work is not done for you to understand." Qiu Luxin's tone was a little more serious, but his expression did not seem angry, "Nie Qing, since you have doubts about my approach, go to Ask Bureau Nie for clarification. You should know that all my actions yesterday were approved by him. You will not get any answers from me. But if Bureau Nie is willing to tell you, it is between you father and son I have no objection."

Nie Qing didn't say a word for a while after listening, and after a moment of silence, he said: "Well, if you don't want to talk about the specific situation, I don't have to ask. But there is one thing I must confirm clearly. When the shooting happened, were your people nearby?" ?”

Qiulu News Yan quietly looked at him and smiled quietly.

Nie Qing had the answer in her heart, and all the politeness on the surface disappeared immediately.

"That is to say, you know that someone here may be in danger, but you turn a deaf ear to it?" Nie Qing looked at Qiu Luxin coldly and asked.

Qiu Luxin shrugged his shoulders, "There is always a priority, especially in the anti-drug work, and I can't help it."

"Heh... priorities?" Nie Qing gritted her teeth, paused for a few seconds, and said, "Captain Qiu can really speak. Don't you think that matters of human life are not important enough?"

"That depends on the number of lives. It is always a very dialectical question to choose to save one person or save ten people, isn't it? I just do things according to my own ideas. If you feel dissatisfied, I have neither the obligation to appease you nor I'm not interested in discussing ethical issues with you." Qiu Luxin raised his chin as he spoke, with disdain on his expression, "You're a young man after all, and his ideas are too immature. It's really not easy for Ju Nie."

After hearing these words, Nie Qing felt a burst of fire in his chest, but was forced back by his clenched fists.

"Okay, I'm going to get busy, Team Leader Nie can take care of himself." At this moment, Qiu Luxin gave Nie Qing a slightly provocative look, then turned around and entered the building of the Municipal Public Security Bureau with a snort, even He also played a ditty quite proudly.

Nie Qing kept staring at his back.

It wasn't until Qiu Luxin turned a corner that he could no longer see him that he cursed in a low voice.

"Son of a bitch."
