Evil and punishment [criminal investigation]

Nie Cheng immediately bid farewell and went downstairs to drive, but no one answered the call back, and he couldn't get through to other people in the sub-bureau.

Stepping on the speed limit line all the way to the Haidong District Bureau, entered the compound with the police card, parked the car and went upstairs without stopping.

The aunt who was sweeping the floor at the entrance of the building only felt a gust of wind blowing in front of her eyes. She yelled twice, and before she even had time to ask the phrase "who are you looking for", the figure in front of her eyes had disappeared.Auntie looked left and right, thinking that something is wrong, the stairs are at the end of the corridor, why did the people disappear in a blink of an eye?

Nie Cheng stretched his legs and rushed to the door of the criminal investigation department on the third floor in five steps at a time. The office was empty.He paced back and forth in the corridor, leaning against the wall with his arms folded and waiting for no one to come back, and refused to answer Jiang Zhun's phone calls.He stood at the stairs and looked around. He heard the movement of the Legal Affairs Department upstairs. He went up the stairs and asked the two young police officers standing at the door of the office: "Excuse me, may I..."

"Captain Nie!" Before he finished speaking, the policewoman interrupted him in surprise, and she habitually called him his previous position in the bureau. She said clearly, "Are you here to see Captain Jiang and colleagues from the Criminal Investigation Department? They have a meeting in the big conference room on the fifth floor, our Tang Bureau and the original old director Shao Bureau are there, and there are many leaders from the city bureau and various branch bureaus."

Before Nie Cheng could ask, she told him everything she knew, saving a lot of effort.He left a "thank you" and hurried to the fifth floor.

On the left hand side of the stairs, the two doors of the large conference room were closed tightly, and there was a faint voice speaking through the microphone. It seemed that a meeting was in progress. He considered whether to wait before entering, and waited for the speech to end in the small conference room next to him. Or wait for people to come in and out and ask about the situation, should they contact Jiang Zhun to talk about it?After all, he is now a police officer.

At this time, the phone vibrated, and Jiang Zhun finally saw his message and missed call, and replied to him.

--Where are you

——The entrance of the conference room

--Come in

Nie Cheng no longer hesitated, pushed the door open and entered.

The lights on the roof of the large meeting room were fully turned on, several times brighter than the dim corridor. The glaring light made him squint his eyes, but he still saw that the stepped meeting room was full of uniformed police officers with hairy hair. The grey-haired senior also has a backbone force similar to his age, and there is no empty seat. There are still many newcomers with immature faces standing on the aisle next to the wall in the back row. There are about a hundred people in total.

Tang Ju, who was giving a mobilization speech on the stage, didn't notice someone coming in. He was reading the new red-headed document with his head down.

Nie Cheng's intrusion attracted the attention of most of the audience, and Tang Ju also stopped talking. The sudden silence and surprised eyes all showed that he had come so abruptly.

Most of the people here he knew or heard of, but they all knew him.Back then, the Guo Ying case involved retaliation against the family members of the police, which aroused the indignation of the police in the city and created a commotion. They also held a meeting in this large conference room and set up a special case team. All departments worked overtime, making the case extraordinary. Speed ​​detection.Nie Cheng knew in his heart that this was not only for him, but also to appease the emotions of all the policemen, so that everyone could handle the case with peace of mind. However, there are many people who have really helped him, many who have comforted him, and those who have encouraged him. a lot of.

After the Guo Ying case was solved, everyone expected him to become a stronger criminal police captain, but he escaped and was transferred to the police station to do grassroots work.He vaguely knew that the impact of this incident was not good, and he also felt that even the forgiving eyes were full of regret and sympathy.His growing sensitivity to that gaze is one of the reasons why he chooses to take a break from the work and people he loves.

Tomorrow's Tomb-sweeping Day, it will be three years since the incident.

But facing the people who cared about him again and interrupting Tang Ju's speech still made him slightly uneasy, and he didn't understand why Jiang Zhun let him in at this time.

Jiang Zhun, who was sitting on the edge of the first row in the middle, looked at him calmly and didn't give him any more information.A few people away in that row was his master Shao Qingyun, whom he wanted to see but dared not see. Nie Cheng quickly looked away, and a fine layer of sweat involuntarily oozed from his forehead and temples.

At this time, someone grabbed his arm and pulled him into the darkness. Tang Ju continued to speak, but people's eyes did not follow him, and the atmosphere became natural again.He was pulled to the last row and sat on the stairs slightly away from the seat, and he could see the light gap between the blackout curtain and the window frame.With this halo, he saw clearly the familiar face of the person who pulled him over, it was Wu Ze.

"Why did you barge in so carelessly, please send me a message first." Wu Ze complained in a low voice, then looked at the five messages on the notification bar of the mobile phone, and coughed lightly, "I was sitting in the front row just now, and the leaders all Now, you can’t look at your phone during a meeting.”

"This is now?" Nie Cheng asked.

"A task force has been set up for case analysis and mobilization meetings. In the first row, except for the leaders and persons in charge of our bureau, the others are leaders of the city bureau. The second and third rows are the backbone of each branch, and they can cooperate with our people. But they just came for a meeting, and they will return to their original posts, and there are only a dozen or so permanent members of the special case team, and we will talk about it after the meeting." Wu Ze introduced.

"Then I..."

"Don't worry, Jiang Zhun has made arrangements, and I will be here in a while."

What did Jiang Zhun arrange?Nie Cheng thought in confusion.

He listened to the mobilization speech of the Tang Bureau with his ears upright, and he somewhat regained the feeling of working in the District Bureau.Basically, before the mobilization meeting, their front-line criminal police had been working on the axis for several days. No matter how enthusiastic the call was at the mobilization meeting, they were dizzy and sleepy, and the others squinted for a while. The criminal investigation captain of the platoon had to work hard to build a good relationship with the leaders of the various district bureaus. After all, they still needed their cooperation.

He struggled with lethargic acquired habits until Tang Ju finished speaking, and when a serious and familiar voice came from the microphone, he jerked his head up.

Now speaking on the stage is Shao Qingyun, deputy director of the Municipal Bureau. He is the former director of the Haidong District Bureau, the former criminal investigation captain of the Haidong District Bureau, and his father's old superior, the master who taught him how to handle cases.

"...The vicious case this time is not simple. I hope everyone can pay attention to it and cooperate with the special case team and Haidong District. As the team leader, I would like to thank everyone here. Let me say something next. Some time ago, the criminal investigation team leader of Haidong District Jiang Zhun was injured during the execution of the mission, but insisted on arresting the criminal suspect and brought him to justice. The organization praised him. In order to take care of his situation, and according to his own suggestion, he was suspended from the position of the captain of the criminal investigation. In this case, he only assisted in the investigation. .” Shao Qingyun paused.

Discussions poured out of the originally quiet audience. After being injured at work, the captain's position was suspended. Isn't this a public praise and a secret demotion?Such a decision is so heartbreaking.

"Jiang Zhun's current physical condition is indeed unable to cope with the high-intensity case handling needs. Our police officers are not machines, and the special case team also hopes that he will take a good rest. At the same time, they decided to adopt his recommendation. Nie Cheng, the former criminal investigation captain of Haidong District, will temporarily take over as the captain. I will join the task force. This is the end of my speech." After Shao Qingyun finished speaking, he walked straight off the stage.

As the host, Tang Ju came to the stage again to express his gratitude, and followed the leaders of the Municipal Bureau to the reception room. The others greeted each other and walked out of the large conference room slowly.

Nie Cheng was still sitting on the last step, blankly recalling Shao Qingyun's speech just now.

Zhang Jieming and the others wanted to go around to say hello and congratulations to Nie Cheng, but Jiang Zhun and Wu Ze stopped them.He saw this in his eyes, but his brain hadn't reacted yet. He watched Jiang Zhun walking up slowly step by step with a cane, and he didn't realize that he had to help him.

Jiang Zhun leaned on the last row of folding chairs, put his arms on Nie Cheng's shoulders, and said, "Don't refuse, you definitely have this ability. You have proved it many times, and everyone hopes you will come back."

Nie Cheng reacted to his voice, raised his head to look at him, his hair was wet with sweat, and his eyes were still wandering.

Jiang Zhun held his shoulder so hard that Nie Cheng felt pain, and said, "Go to the task force first, in room 502."

Nie Cheng nodded. He stood up, took a deep breath, exhaled all anxiety and clues, and his eyes returned to the clarity and sharpness of the past.

Watching Nie Cheng disappear behind the door of the conference room, Wu Ze stroked his chin and looked at Jiang Zhun, "The way you persuade Nie Cheng seems to be different from the way you usually comfort the team members."

"Why is it different?"

"Although they are a bit tough, I always feel..."

"What do you think?" Jiang Zhun looked over with bottomless black eyes.

"It's very attentive, especially emotional."

"You should try it next time."

"No, no, no, after all, you have known each other since childhood. I can't bear it. Believe it or not, Nie Cheng's shoulders are definitely pinched by you when he comes home at night." Wu Ze smiled, smiled and sighed.

"What's the matter, you're not welcome?"

"It's really a bit. Don't stare at me, listen to me, Wu Gou, your apprentice, my distant cousin, doesn't like Nie Cheng in general. I obviously don't mean it when I look at Nie Cheng, but he is thin-skinned, and I'm afraid of him Unable to stand Wu Gou's persistence, we ended up being together and then separated." Wu Ze said with a headache.

"Don't worry, it's impossible." Jiang Zhun said.

"Don't take it seriously, why..."

Wu Ze half-spoken, Jiang Zhun walked away with his cane, much more comfortable than in front of everyone.

He had already lived in the branch office for three days, and he just stared at finishing this matter, and now he finally felt relieved and wished he could take a hot shower and lie down to sleep immediately.

"Captain Jiang, can't you take a hot shower now?" Zhang Jieming asked.

He didn't wait for Nie Cheng to come out, and didn't contact him, he just asked Zhang Jieming to take him home.

Everyone heard what Shao Ju said today. Although it is temporary, Nie Cheng has been transferred back to be the captain again. Zhang Jieming was excitedly waiting for Nie Cheng to come back from upstairs to offer his first blessing, but Jiang Zhun pulled him to fill it up. strong man.He had no problem with the work, but he regretted not being able to witness the moment when Nie Cheng took the position of criminal investigation captain again.

"You help me wrap it in a plastic bag, and I'll simply wash one." Jiang Zhun said.

"Well, that's not very good, it's easy to get infected if you get in the water, I'll wipe it off with a hot towel for you." Zhang Jieming said.

"It's okay." He felt that his injury had healed a lot, and he wasn't so delicate.

After leaving the Haidong District Bureau, they went to Nie Cheng's house. Although his house didn't have an elevator and Jiang Zhun didn't like to bother others, he insisted on coming here.He asked Zhang Jieming to leave him alone, and went up to turn on the water heater first, and walked up to the fourth floor slowly, checking the time for a quarter of an hour.

According to Zhang Jieming's instructions, he wrapped the gauze tightly with plastic wrap, cut off a section of raincoat and wrapped it around the outside, and put a plastic chair under the shower to help him over.Jiang Zhun said it was ok, let him go back.He was worried and waited outside all the time. Apart from asking him to help get the towel once, Jiang Zhun had nothing else to do. After more than half an hour, he finished washing smoothly.He made sure that Jiang Zhun had finished getting dressed and was lying comfortably on the bed, so he hurriedly left and returned to the bureau.

Everyone in the department was busy with their own business. There was no Nie Cheng, and Wu Ze was not there. He asked Zu Xinghui, "Where is my master?"

"Not here yet." Zu Xinghui said.

"what?"

Zhang Jieming looked at the time, at this time two hours had passed since the end of the meeting.
