today's island

Within a week, the anti-narcotics team secretly "invited" many people, and there were still some who could not be invited. Yang Fengqing took people to meet them in their offices and residences.

A week later, the police successively reported the situation of drug seizures.Most of the people only read the news on the Internet with short and white letters on a blue background. Only those who can really get in touch with the political circles of the island city know what kind of "big earthquake" it is.

After this round of investigation, seven friends of these eleven people were arrested, and nine government employees who purchased drugs alone were also arrested. It seems that there are less than 30 people, but it is already a considerable drug anti-drug case in Daocheng.Coupled with the online confession provided by one of them, the anti-drug team seized a drug hiding place of the other party, and it is expected that there will be more gains.

Although it was my own fault to take drugs, the number of colleagues and superiors implicated in it was more than two digits. Everyone was under a lot of pressure, and they were unwilling to bear any political stains on themselves.

The banquet's declaration of war was forged, but even Su Xiaozhi, who was not very perceptive, felt that the atmosphere was very serious recently, and it could be regarded as a real "big earthquake".This kind of seriousness reached its peak in the scorching September. The anti-drug team was about to carry out a large-scale anti-drug campaign, and Lu Yuanzhe took Cheng Mo together and invited several leaders to have a meal.

Several leaders agreed. Although he knew well that he was investigating Team Zhou's case, but in a sensitive period, he had to sell the public security bureau to save face.What's more, there is Cheng Mo, now Cheng Song puts a lot of pressure on everyone's self-examination, so it's better to go there.

Except for Chief Xiao who couldn't come, everyone else arrived on time.The people here have not changed from a year ago. Most of them are unfamiliar but know each other and greet each other.Everyone's recollections are also in line with Section Chief Xiao's confession. It was the Zhou team's game, and they made an appointment with everyone a week in advance, because they wanted to consult about some private matters.

Just like this time, everyone thought that since the captain of the criminal investigation organized the bureau in private, they would sell him a face, so as to avoid more troublesome things that were difficult to deal with on the stage.After we came, we didn't talk much. Team Zhou brought good wine, and everyone drank some wine.After drinking for three rounds, Team Zhou asked everyone if they remembered what happened to Dr. Liu and his adopted son, how they were dealt with afterwards, and so on.

Today, everyone at the table did not drink less, and the dishes were not ready. Cheng Mo took the lead to pay respects to everyone. Mayor Cheng had to give face, and everyone had to cooperate.Lu Yuanzhe was still a little afraid that Cheng Mo would get drunk before he started, but Cheng Mo's face didn't change at all, and he was really full of fighting power.

According to the scene everyone recalled, Lu Yuanzhe also asked them: "Then did you all know the situation of his adopted son at that time?"

"I don't know." Most people shook their heads, and a few people looked at each other, seeming to know a little bit.

"His son was drowned, and someone said it at the time." Peng, the deputy director of the Finance Bureau sitting opposite Lu Yuanzhe, recalled, "I remember someone mentioned it."

"Yeah." The people sitting on the left and right of him echoed, "Yes, someone said it."

It was precisely because Team Zhou also drowned that everyone was unwilling to pursue this case further. After all, everyone was an older generation who had worked in the government ten years ago, and they were still very afraid of banquets, fearing that it would be a revenge.

"Who said that?" Lu Yuanzhe asked.

"Who said..." Deputy Director Peng recalled for a long time, but did not come to a conclusion.Although everyone knew each other, they really didn't know each other very well. Moreover, the two bottles of very precious puree wine that day were really good, and everyone was a little out of control.

The others also looked at each other and recalled for a while, but they didn't remember it.

"No one remembers, so let's take it as Section Chief Xiao said." Lu Yuanzhe smiled and toasted everyone, "My wine is not bad, let's have some."

The topic changed, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. He Mingcai picked up the wine glass and praised: "This wine is good for Team Lu."

"If you like it, I'll give you some next time. It's not hard to get it." Lu Yuanzhe laughed.

Speaking of the taste of various wines, everyone was much more relaxed. Lu Yuanzhe didn't mention this case much, and toasted everyone one glass after another.

When everyone was a little drifting, Cheng Mo asked casually: "I arrived at the task force late, and I haven't met Team Zhou. What kind of person is he?"

"Team Zhou is a good policeman, it's a pity." "That's right, Daocheng was more chaotic in the first few years than it is now. He is not afraid of kicking the iron plate, and he can hold his breath, which is amazing." "I have eaten with him several times. His wine is really good."

"The seniors really contributed a lot to being able to take away the previous banquet." Cheng Mo followed their words, "It's a pity that I didn't even learn from Team Zhou."

"You know, my secretary drove him off that day." "Yeah, who knew he would go back by the river." "He's always been a cautious person. I thought he didn't drink too much."

"Why doesn't Team Zhou take the main road?" He Mingcai said with emotion, "The water in that area is already very fast and dangerous."

"Yes." Cheng Mo looked at him. After drinking, his eyes were extraordinarily bright, "The place where Team Zhou fell into the water is a little far away from this store. Let the wind blow, it's time to sober up."

"I really drank too much that day." Deputy Director Peng recalled, "I went straight home and fell asleep right away."

Everyone nodded, and Cheng Mo sighed: "It's good to go back together."

"We all have different paths, otherwise we should have gone back together, and Lao Fang and I went back together." Deputy Director Peng looked at his colleague on the right.

Cheng Mo raised his glass again, and this time he glanced at Lu Yuanzhe.

Lu Yuanzhe also raised his glass and took the initiative to touch him.

·

After all, it was just to sell the face of the rising star of the Public Security Bureau, no matter how good the wine was, it would not be late at night, and the show ended after more than an hour.The Public Security Bureau seemed to have no intention of pursuing responsibility. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and went home by car.

Seeing that He Mingcai was taking a taxi, Lu Yuanzhe immediately enthusiastically offered to give him a ride, but he declined repeatedly, but was still dragged into the car by Lu Yuanzhe: "Don't be too polite, Ju He, just treat it as a test drive of my sports car."

"Okay, okay..." He Mingcai got into the car dumbfounded, and sat in the back seat with Lu Yuanzhe, while Cheng Mo sat in the co-pilot, and turned to ask He Mingcai's address.

He Mingcai was still being polite to Lu Yuanzhe, and casually replied: "Haiyuan Community."

"It's not too far from here. It's a good place. The house price has risen quite a bit." Lu Yuanzhe praised, "It's still a school district house. If He Ju buys a few more houses, I want a second-hand house."

"That's not true." He Mingcai waved his hand, "A set is very expensive."

"Really." Lu Yuanzhe nodded sharply, "I'm ashamed, I can't afford it if I don't eat the old ones."

"Mom and dad's money, sooner or later it will belong to the child." Before He Mingcai understood what he said, he thought he was an ordinary rich second generation, and comforted him, "If you want to spend it for you, you can spend it."

The car drove out of this street and gradually entered a deserted alley. Suddenly, Cheng Mo said with emotion: "This is where Team Zhou was captured by surveillance, right?"

These words finally alarmed He Mingcai, he glanced out blankly: "Why did you come here? Let's take a detour."

"That's right, there should be a turn at the intersection ahead." Lu Yuanzhe also criticized the surrogate driver, "This is so close to Haiyuan Community, you can walk back there on foot, I don't remember the map well."

After criticizing the substitute driver, he turned his head to look at He Mingcai: "He Ju, you left that street on foot that day, didn't Team Zhou want to give you a lift?"

He Mingcai finally came back to his senses, frowned and looked at Lu Yuanzhe: "You doubt me?"

Lu Yuanzhe didn't answer, and continued to say: "Team Zhou wanted to send you off that day, but you refused, but Team Zhou insisted on following you. Later, when you fell into the water, he went down to rescue you and was eventually killed, right?"

"What are you talking about?" He Mingcai would have jumped up if he hadn't been sitting in the car, "Who told you that?!"

"You said it yourself." Lu Yuanzhe looked at him, and only then did he point out the mystery of the wine game, "Team Zhou drifted down the river for a while, and when he was found in the river, he got stuck on the bank and announced to the public that he had an accident there , the waters there are wide, and the water flow is not too turbulent, but this section is the turbulent one."

"But we all know that he didn't fall into the water there." He Mingcai argued.

"Who knew? How did you know?" Cheng Mo interrupted, immediately leaving him speechless.

Lu Yuanzhe glanced at him sympathetically: "Do you know that all the surveillance cameras around here were kept that night. There were several road surveillance cameras on your normal way home, and you were not photographed when you left that street. In the end, we were on the road again. I found you in a taxi, and it's been half an hour since the dinner party ended."

"I was drunk by the side of the road... I don't remember anything, so I hurried to take a taxi when I woke up." He Mingcai retorted.

"Including don't you remember changing your clothes and going home?" Lu Yuanzhe stared at him.

Cheng Mo patted the "representative driver" on the shoulder, and he immediately understood, turned the car around, and headed towards the Public Security Bureau.

He Mingcai didn't feel any problem when he changed the route at the beginning, but later he found out that he was going to the police station, so he struggled immediately and even opened the car door.

Lu Yuanzhe held him down, he struggled a few times and found that he couldn't get free, and shouted excitedly: "I didn't kill anyone, I didn't kill him!"

"I didn't accuse you of murder, why don't you go after a cup of tea, it's not time to go to bed yet." Lu Yuanzhe pressed him with one hand, and sighed softly, "No wonder I couldn't get the list of party members no matter how I asked , because as long as people are sure, you are really suspicious."

None of the leaders stood up that night, originally to avoid implicating themselves, but they almost let He Mingcai escape legal sanctions.With just ten people, they still can't find any doubts.

"I only thought that Team Zhou was not allowed to drink and drive, so I didn't drive. I never thought that it was my problem to follow people walking home." Lu Yuanzhe stared at He Mingcai, and looked at his anxiety with disdain, "Originally you at least Go to prison a year early."

"They killed the person, I was just caught by them!" Although He Mingcai was nervous, he still wanted to defend himself.

"Tell me in the interrogation room. I can't believe you now. You are a person who dares to break into the police station. You shouldn't be so tough in your mental quality." Lu Yuanzhe recalled that he went to intercede with Section Chief Xiao, but he didn't see it at the time. He has a guilty conscience, and he is a bold enough guy, "When you said that this case has nothing to do with what I was investigating, I didn't even see that you were lying."

In a blink of an eye, he arrived at the gate of the Public Security Bureau. There were guards and police officers on duty watching. He Mingcai finally stopped struggling for the last time, avoiding other people's eyes, and strode in.

Lu Yuanzhe cast a wink at the teams of Hua Junjun who were looking around, and scared her back, while Cheng Mo greeted everyone politely, in a good mood, his eyes were especially straightforward after drinking, and he glanced around confidently, announcing the project The group has gained.
