at your side
Chapter 5 05 Closing the Case
At this moment, Ru is really glad that she is driving a special police car specially assigned to Park Shunchang, and her special driving is excellent in every assessment without exception.The people in the car behind were not professional, and the dense bullets they fired only occasionally hit the bulletproof glass of the rear window. Huang Shimu was thrown from left to right, back and forth, and grabbed the handle on the side window.
"Their car has also been modified. It's a bit difficult. Can you help me look at the navigation?"
"The next intersection is about 200 meters away, turn left."
"Okay, just 'slowly' shake them off right there."
Ruzhen stepped on the gas pedal and smiled at Huang Shimu with raised eyebrows.The fearlessness and freedom in that smile were so contagious that even in such a dangerous situation, Huang Shimu lowered his head and raised the corners of his mouth.
The annoying tail was finally thrown out of range, but still pursued.Ruzhen suddenly realized that the mobile phone has a signal! She can call the police now, but is the police here just an umbrella?By the way, call the chili sauce first.
The phone rang once and was picked up immediately, "Hey sister Ruzhen, why did you lose contact with Huang Jian, where are you now?"
"Did you get my text message?"
"Got it, we're on our way."
"Where are you? How many of you are there?"
"We'll be there soon, we've turned onto Highway No. 74, and we've just passed Exit 201."
"We were attacked, and we are about to get on Highway No. 74. You wait at the entrance, and we will intercept and arrest us as soon as we get up."
"How many people are there on the other side? There are two teams on our side."
"It's enough. Let's catch these people first. The other party has a gun, so be careful."
Ruzhen hung up the phone and said to Huang Shimu, "There is no need to stop and wait for them later, we have to rush back to Seoul as soon as possible."
"Well, I'll go directly to the chief prosecutor to apply for a search and arrest warrant. You can contact the police station in Lishui."
After confirming that the interception and arrest were successful, Ruzhen gave up the driving seat to Huang Shimu, picked up the mobile phone and dialed one by one, greeted the police officers at each level, explained what happened, and asked for support.Huang Shimu drove the car in silence, watching the sky outside the window from dark black to blue, and the sky turned white, Seoul will be a good weather.The building of the Central Prosecutor's Procuratorate looked even bigger and oppressive in the morning light, and Department Chief Jin and the others were already waiting in the office.The two came back just in time to start work, and the search and arrest warrants were transmitted to all levels, with countless official documents, documents, files, and dossiers...
The battle really begins now.
Ruzhen didn't know when there was an extra tissue in her hand, and she sniffed her nose from time to time. Her work schedule was too intensive during this period, and she couldn't sleep well every day, and her physical strength was already exhausted.Being able to survive until this time is just a mere cold, and it is also because the foundation was too good before.On the other hand, she is an unyielding character. On the way to the police station, she bought a mask with bread and coffee at a convenience store. After eating, she just caught up with the anti-terrorist team's round-robin interrogation.
It was already nine o'clock in the evening when the interrogation ended. Ruzhen came out of the interrogation room only to feel that her knees were sore and her whole body was in pain. She called Park Shunchang and asked him to stay at Huang Shimu's house for another night.She had to go back to her own home and get a good night's sleep to recover her blood.
Park Shunchang heard her hoarse voice, and immediately asked, "Do you have a fever? Have you taken your temperature? I'll go over and take you to the hospital now."
"It's okay, if it's serious, I will go by myself."
"Miss Ruzhen!"
"I won't tell you anymore, I'm going to sleep." Ruzhen put a piece of antipyretic patch on his forehead, fell on the bed in a daze, and didn't even have the energy to hang up the phone.
Huang Shimu stood at the door of the bedroom and was lost in thought. After a long while, he took out his coat and walked out while putting it on, "Special Police Park, please take me to the Central Police Station."
"Oh, yes. Are you in a hurry at this late hour?" Pu Shunchang quickly stood up.
"Yeah." Huang Shimu nodded.
When they arrived at the Central Police Station, Huang Shimu said to Park Shunchang, "I'll be here all night. The special police Park has worked hard to arrest you. Go back and rest."
Pu Shunchang didn't expect to be so lucky. After thanking him, he quickly dialed Ruzhen's phone number, and hurried out while calling, "Sister Ruzhen! Minister Huang is interrogating the suspect at the police station. I'm fine now. Are you okay? ? Let me go find you now..."
Huang Shimu watched him walk away, yawned with the documents, and walked into the interrogation room.
After the trial of the first suspect, Huang Shimu looked at his watch, it was just after one o'clock.He came out and took out his mobile phone and dialed Ruzhen from the call log.
The beeping waiting sound in the empty corridor seemed particularly long, "The phone you dialed has not been answered for the time being, and the voicemail has been transferred for you."
You can only press down to go back and continue the trial.
At 41:[-], Ruzhen called back. I don't know if it was because of anxiety or fever and confusion. I couldn't even take care of the basic politeness. "Oh, Huang Shimu! Are you okay? Where are you? I just saw your phone call, what happened? How could you let Park Soon-chang go! Have you contacted other security personnel?"
Huang Shimu, who was about to speak, was blocked and couldn't speak a word. He gestured to suspend the interrogation and walked out to lean against the corridor wall.
"At the Central Police Station, there was a question I wanted to confirm with you during the trial."
"Well, tell me. But why does the procuratorate put pressure on you at this time? So you haven't closed your eyes for two days in a row?" Ruzhen is still fighting for him.
"It's okay. What about you?" He took the opportunity to ask.
"The fever just subsided. I should be fine tomorrow."
"Where is Special Police Park?" He casually "confirmed" the issues that would affect his trial.
"Chili sauce? He came to look for me yesterday. I'm sorry, I let him go back in a daze. Why are you going now? Can I contact Police Officer Zhang for you?"
"No, that, the trial will continue."
"Oh, huh? Didn't you say there is a problem to confirm?"
"Too much. Let's talk about it when we meet tomorrow. Let's go to sleep." After saying the words "meet tomorrow", Huang Shimu felt a string in his head that was getting tighter and tighter suddenly loosened a few times in the opposite direction, and tiredness also surged up.
Ruzhen was still in the collapse after the fever subsided, answered the phone and hung up the phone and fell back on the bed, but couldn't fall asleep.Huang Shimu worked so hard this time, because he was under so much pressure. He won't have another headache.Ruzhen picked up the phone and sent a text message to Park Shunchang: In the morning, he must send Minister Huang home to rest.
--The special police, with the support of the local police in Lishui, Gwangju, finally destroyed the Zhongaijiao illegal factory and related institutions in Nanxi Village after two days of special operations.Seven or eight victims of illegal detention were rescued, and a large amount of illegal materials and promotional materials were seized.However, since Zhongai Church's communication is one-way, one-way, Zhong Jiongshi does not say a word, and his upstream organization has not yet broken through.
At the group meeting, Ru Zhen stared at the report and flipped through it several times in doubt. Huang Shimu couldn't help asking, "What's the matter?"
"Look here, and here, a considerable amount of supplies have been secretly transported to these two uninhabited islands. I was thinking, if this time their hidden buildings are not in Nanxi Village but also built on the uninhabited islands Is it possible that we didn't discover it from the beginning?"
"You mean, do you suspect that there are similar facilities on some uninhabited islands?" Jiang Jian interjected, "Is this possible? Will they do it?"
Ruzhen pursed her lips, she herself was not very sure, after all, she was only relying on intuitive guesses.
"We can choose a few villages in similar locations and contact them to take some photos with drones." Cheng Jian suggested.
Huang Shimu thought for a while, "Let's do this first."
"Could it be looking for a needle in a haystack?" Jiang Jian showed a troubled expression.
"Wait," Huang Shimu seemed to have suddenly remembered something. He dug out a few pages from a large pile of information and passed them to Jiang Jian. Sure enough, there was the name of Nanxi Village.
"Let's check from these places." Huang Shimu said.
"North Korea's reclamation plan?" Jiang Jian murmured in bewilderment.
Ru Zhen immediately slapped her forehead and realized, "Why didn't I think of this. Last time..." She stopped the car in time, and Huang Shimu's signature innocent face came online again.
It was the time they had a drink at Ruzhen's house more than two months ago. They once talked about Li Yunfan's reclamation project. Is there any connection with this public love incident?
The subsequent development was surprising. The House of Love was not involved in the land reclamation plan implemented by South Korea and North Korea. Instead, the Church of Love was found among the dozen or so target sites under negotiation.During the inspection process, the local police also actively cooperated, as if a pair of invisible hands were helping them to promote all this.
What is even more strange is that the media once again silenced collectively, only reporting on the seizure of illegal hallucinogens and local blockades, without mentioning the word Zhong Ai.Huang Shimu asked the chief prosecutor, and Ruzhen asked the anti-terrorism captain, and the answer they got was that the bombing case had not been completely cracked, and it was inconvenient to leak relevant information.Having said that, information that is not allowed to be leaked usually spreads the fastest, and the attitude of the media this time is suspicious.Huang Shimu remembered the reactions of the Minister of Justice and the Chief Cabinet during the previous report.Huang Shimu's authority to investigate upwards about the identity of the House of Love has reached its peak, but there are still too many blanks in the final answer.
The downward investigation became more and more clear. Cheng Jian and Secretary Cui returned from a business trip in Yanbian, China, and the key person in the incident changed from Yuan Tae-chul to Liu Xuexi.
In fact, Liu Xuexi is not the biological daughter of Liu Zongkui and Han Sunji in the file information, but an orphan adopted by them in China. In order for Liu Xuexi to grow up in a carefree environment, a forged birth certificate was registered as the biological child.
In the records of Liu Xuexi in the Chinese orphanage, his biological father Luo Hong's immediate family and collaterals have a history of mental illness.It was also Luo Hong's violent behavior that directly led to the deaths of the husband and wife.
However, Liu Xuexi still inherited the beauty of her biological mother Zhao Xue and the madness of Luo Hong. When she was 13 years old, she and Han Sunhee reported Liu Zongkui's sexual assault. Her life experience was not made public.After that, her adoptive mother Han Shanji divorced and brought her up alone, but the relationship between the two was not good. At the age of 16, she followed her boyfriend who was more than 20 years older than her at the time, first in Hong Kong, and later at the Paris University of the Arts as a body model, and became well-known in the Korean art circle.That's where she and Yuan Tae-cheol met.
The story of Liu Xuexi can be told in many ways. In the previous media, she was a pitiful victim. Won Tae-cheol introduced Ruzhen as an independent and spiritual artist. Colleagues in the school commented that she is a kind and enthusiastic woman like a daisy. But now it seems that the truth may be another version that is too dark to accept.
What really bothers you is that even though the Home of Love has been hit so hard, who is their leader, how did Yoo Seol-hee and Won Tae-chul join the Home of Love, and where the upper-level organization is is still completely unclear.
Zhao Yanzi, who has always been cunning, has his whereabouts exposed at this juncture because of an ordinary hotel theft.Ruzhen rummaged through her related items, and finally found the one-in-[-] possibility of a decisive victory in the folder of a handbook: a list of emergency contacts and a pattern composed of diamonds.
Digging deeper from the contact list, the task force roughly grasped the three-level member organization of the House of Love after a few days. The existing personnel and characteristics wrote a whiteboard full:
At present, it seems that the House of All Love has three types of believers. The lowest level is mobs in abjectly impoverished remote villages and towns. The strategy against them is to use village-based religious propaganda, that is, brainwashing through pyramid schemes.From a babbling child to a faltering old man can become a sharp knife for high-level murder.Ruzhen and the others were able to escape from Nanxi Village by chance, and it can be regarded as experiencing the horror of the collective unconsciousness for themselves.After Nahua and other children were rescued, according to the criminal facts of their parents and guardians, some returned to normal families, some defected to relatives, and some were brought up by social institutions. Nahua also started a new life with her father in Busan. Life.
The middle level is the insiders of various industries like Zhao Yanzi. Their information management is more confidential. The strategy of the high-level against them is obviously to provide sufficient security protection and lure them with benefits.Brainwashing is also essential, but the price of brainwashing is not just as simple as watching a promotional video and chanting slogans. When the elites find that their wealth, which they have struggled for half their lives, is controlled by love, leaving the church means losing everything. vested interest.The middle-class elites with their families are also firmly controlled by the House of Love.Their vast source of funding has now been identified as having a major link to tax leakage.
The highest level is divided into two types of people, predators and prey.The targeted prey are big business chaebols and high-level officials in various fields, many of whom have disgraceful black histories.The Predator not only understands and manages shady scenes, but more importantly, constantly creates new shady scenes. He must ensure that everyone at every level from top to bottom is infinitely loyal to the belief of love.Whether it is money bribes, sexual favors or illegal transactions, countless traps are woven into a large web, and the prey has no other way out except to transform into predators.It's a pity that this level is called by a numerical code name, and no conclusive identity information has been dug up yet.
Fortunately, Yuan Tae-cheol and Liu Xuexi were not included in the list. You really thought, maybe they are just friends who were called to paint, and they have nothing to do with Zhongaijiao, and they are hiding from the limelight now.Although she comforted herself like this, she didn't dare to let go until the truth came out.After all, Liu Xuexi herself is a dangerous person.
When the two of them returned to their residence in the evening, Ru Zhen breathed a sigh of relief, shaking her notebook a little proudly, "Would Huang Jian also prepare a copy, it's really useful for solving crimes, graphical thinking, and fully stimulates the potential of the brain!"
"Zhao Yanzi wouldn't have been arrested if he didn't have this." Huang Shimu was still as venomous as ever.
"That's because of different positions. Look, let me tell you, this painting was drawn by me during a previous kidnapping case. Here, this is a theft case..."
Huang Shimu saw that she was talking with great interest, so he took it and flipped through a few pages, and suddenly he turned to a bear wearing a round neck T-shirt, "What kind of case is this?"
Ruzhen glanced at it and quickly retracted it with a smile, "This... is just for fun."
Huang Shimu thoughtfully, nodded noncommittally, and touched his pocket subconsciously.
Ruzhen still wanted to explain, and Jin Zhengben called: "Did you really see the email? I saw a lot of news about the Home of Love on the dark web. I happened to see the diamond pattern you sent. Some people said it was The new contact sign of the House of Love. As for the other code words, I don’t know what they represent, but I’ve collected them and sent them to you.”
"Okay, I will continue to investigate, thank you." Ruzhen forwarded the email to colleagues in the technical team.
"Let's stop here today," Huang Shimu saw her yawning uncontrollably, "I've been sleeping on the sofa, are you okay?"
"Is the prosecutor going to let me sleep in the bed? Oh, you suddenly became the hero of an idol drama?" Ruzhen smiled, "You're welcome, you should go to bed earlier."
"Okay, good night." Huang Shimu went back to the bedroom and turned on his phone, saved the photo taken in the hotel apartment in a separate folder, thought about it, and added a password.
The content deciphered by the intelligence team on the second day really verified Ruzhen's long-standing worries: the high-level executives of the House of Love recently elected a god, and the congregation called him the chosen immortal, and they worshiped and swore allegiance to him.The first instruction issued by the priest after he readily accepted it was to hold a coronation ceremony attended by all believers on February 29, during which he would announce an important decision.There are hundreds of thousands of responders below.
February 29th is a day that only exists in leap years.February 29 was also a joke she and Won Tae-cheol had made since childhood.At that time, she often said big things, "One day I will be a manga artist greater than Osamu Tezuka."Won Tae-chul would make fun of her and say, "That day is February 29th."Later, her ambition was changed to being a police officer, so she often joked about Won Tae-cheol, "Be careful on February 29th, even if we are friends, I will not let you go on February 29th." .
Now, is that a coincidence?
Or is it a hint from Won Tae-cheol to himself?
The coronation ceremony attended by all believers may be the only chance for this case to find a breakthrough. If it is missed, this mysterious organization will inevitably resurface.Ruzhen hesitated for a moment, but told Huang Shimu and other members of the task force the details.
"What do you think?"
"From the current point of view, Yuan Tae-cheol and Liu Xuexi are likely to be among the core members. We must find key clues within three days."
There were only three days until February 29th, and he folded his hands and looked at each team member calmly. Facing the huge and invisible pressure, the entire office fell into a deathly silence.
"Continue to work." After saying this, Huang Shimu lowered his head as if nothing had happened.
--February 26
Ruzhen’s luggage is really all-encompassing. There are only a few pieces of clothes and shoes. In addition to comic snacks, game consoles, ramen pots, facial masks, and dumbbells, the remaining space can accommodate simple toast machines and milkshake cups.
It just takes 2 minutes to bake bread every day, with a thin layer of butter or tomato and onion sauce on it, and it tastes so different from the vending machine.The stomach that was empty all night was awakened by hot coffee, and finally the dull pain stopped.These days, Huang Shimu's dependence on breakfast has grown secretly.
Ru Zhen had already taken a shower and left the bathroom, leaving behind the almost imperceptible faint smell of body wash, and there were no other imaginable personal items in the bathroom.Huang Shimu has always appreciated Officer Han's grasp of the sense of distance. He knows that it takes sincere humility and extraordinary wisdom to be so thoughtful and comfortable.
It’s just that Huang Shimu was standing under the shower, the warm water washed over his tense body, and a question from an unknown field suddenly popped up: Is it normal for ordinary men and women to shower in the same bathroom for 5 minutes before and after without any dust in their hearts? ?
If it was abnormal, it could only be because of him.
If it were someone else, Police Officer Han might not have lived in a single man's house because of work tasks at first. He stared at the wall, would he? !
No matter which answer this idea extends to, it is difficult to convince himself. Huang Shimu's judgments have always been based on evidence and logic. He has hardly known anything about invisible things and human emotions in the past 20 years.
The subtle sense of frustration unknowingly wets the tranquility brought by breakfast.
On the car to the local inspection, the two started discussing the brainwashing of the villagers from the case.
"Don't you think it's pitiful?" Ruzhen sighed while driving.
"what?"
"The villagers in Nanxi, if they weren't so impoverished that they had no way to survive, they wouldn't be controlled by a cult full of loopholes like Zhong Ai Sect."
"Poverty also has the bottom line of being a human being. It is impossible for them to be completely unaware that it is a crime when they do those things, but they still do it. If it were you, would you?" Huang Shimu is rarely serious.
"This assumption itself is not convincing. I already have the identity and position of a law enforcement officer. Of course, I am more alert to various potential illegal acts than ordinary people."
"Ordinary people... not all ordinary people have become criminals. Although the cruelty of society is different for people of different classes, it is also common. As a citizen, the minimum awareness of law-abiding is also a part of national education. Part of it. Do you think even this part of our education has failed?"
"But what about people like Na Hua who have been brainwashed since childhood?" Ru Zhen retorted unconvinced.
"If it really failed, we wouldn't be talking about it here." Huang Shimu turned against the general.
Ruzhen was speechless, feeling like he was talking to a duck, and said angrily: "If we hadn't been to Nanxi, how long could Nahua persist like this? After three years, five years, ten years and 20 years, she won't become a villain. A Zhong Jiongshi?"
"When it's time to rely on law enforcement agencies to make corrections, I won't sympathize with a criminal." Thinking of Yuan Tae-cheol, Huang Shimu unconsciously defended his shaky views.
"Hey! How could this person be like this..." Ru was so angry that he was still trying to explain, "I mean, even if the prosecutor sympathizes with them, it will not affect the justice and judgment of the case, will it? Why force yourself to be as cold as a robot." The last sentence was lowered, but it still clearly reached Huang Shimu's ears.
force?He asked the question coldly in his heart, without forcing it at all.Doesn't Officer Han know what kind of person he was? "I won't empathize with criminals like you, Police Officer Han, or any ordinary person of flesh and blood. There's no need for that." He stared straight ahead, his face unable to distinguish between joy and sorrow.
"Who else can do it except you? Is our goal to pursue absolute justice? Don't use your own advantages to overwhelm other people's efforts, okay?" Ruzhen said this because she always felt Huang Shimu's sequelae of surgery He has contributed a lot to being an excellent prosecutor, but he forgot that he might want to be a complete person first besides being a prosecutor.
When the car stopped at the gate of the prefectural police, Huang Shimu nodded politely and got out of the car. He didn't wait for Ruzhen to park the car as usual, and walked to the office by himself.
Ruzhen watched his lonely back walking up the huge steps in the car, and suddenly felt that maybe he was the one who was careless and lacked understanding in the conversation just now.While she was in a daze, the car behind honked its horn, and looking in the rearview mirror, it was Park Shunchang who smiled at her and showed his white teeth.
"Oh chili sauce, are you coming to change shift?" Ruzhen got out of the car and greeted with a smile.
"The captain asked me to see if there is anything I can help. I heard that the case will be solved within three days."
"Yeah!" Ru Zhen looked crying, "There is no clue at all, and..."
"What else?"
"It's nothing." Ru glanced in Huang Shimu's direction, and this guy had already gone upstairs.
"Sister Ruzhen, would you like to give you some lipstick as an encouragement?" Pu Shunchang made a gesture of putting on lipstick as a joke, but he was telling the truth.
"Hey one!" Ruzhen made a gesture to hit him. "This kid has become more and more arrogant recently, is it itchy again!"
Pu Shunchang obediently was backhanded by Ru Zhen in the car and begged for mercy with a smile.Ruzhen let go of his hand, feeling a little relief from the tightness in his chest, and walked into the prosecutor's building boldly.
The discussion went on for two rounds, and everyone felt that the atmosphere in the office today was slightly awkward amidst the usual tension, but they couldn't tell what the awkwardness was.
"Let's go to collect evidence." Seeing that Pu Shunchang was doing nothing, Ruzhen grabbed a strong man before going out.
"Well, you go slowly." Seeing that the minister didn't lift his eyelids, Department Chief Jin quickly smoothed things over, but when he turned around, he saw Huang Shimu staring at the door and sighing softly.
"Officer Han and this special police officer Park really can't see the four-year-old age difference." Officer Cui said casually.
"No one cares about age difference now." Cheng Jian answered casually, "Officer Han is even less likely to care."
"Let's talk about people behind their backs." Department Chief Jin looked at Minister Huang's face and winked at everyone desperately.
After eating a sandwich for lunch alone in the office, Huang Shimu went to the bathroom to wash his face. Looking at the expressionless face in the mirror, he suddenly felt strange, disgustingly strange.To his surprise, a bored expression followed, even if only for a fleeting moment.
Just feeling a little comfort, tinnitus appeared without warning.He propped himself on both sides of the washbasin, his mind was rolling every word Ruzhen said in the car, the impact directly turned into a sharp tingling pain.The phone rang suddenly, and he pressed it with the last of his strength.
"I've found a witness!" Ru Zhen's excited and joyful voice came, warm and open like the rising tide of the sea.
"Okay, then bring it back and ask." He blushed with cold sweat, squeezed out these few words, put down the phone and pressed the phone.
"What! Is this person still angry!" Park Shunchang noticed Ru Zhen's disappointment.
"Then I'll take him back. Sister Ruzhen, you can continue to investigate other witnesses."
"Okay, I'm counting on you. Also, I'm counting on you tonight." Since the day before yesterday, she and Park Shunchang also took turns to perform protection tasks at night.Under such circumstances, she didn't want to be so angry by Huang Shimu that she vomited blood.
Based on the clues provided by the new witnesses, the task force finally determined the identity information of the first member of the core group--Chairman Gao Kaiyang of the Jianglan Group.Immediately afterwards, a search warrant was applied for, and the company was seized in one go, but Gao Kaiyang himself disappeared.
When it was time to get off work, Huang Shimu didn't need protection at all. He went through all the relevant information of Jiang Lan Group in the office overnight.It was almost dawn before falling asleep on the table.
In the early morning of the 27th, Ruzhen bought a cup of coffee and opened the door, and the scene before her was exactly what she had imagined.He picked up the coat on the back of the chair and wanted to put it on him, but he thought of the sweater he dropped when he ran into Prosecutor Yong, so he let it go.Putting the coffee in front of him, he walked back out the door gently, and went downstairs to buy a cup and sandwiches for everyone.At the gate, I met Pu Shunchang who seemed to be waiting there all the time.
"I'll help you get it, why did you buy so much?"
"You have a share too. You have to complain about everything you do."
"Ah, no, I'm just, forget it. Sister Ruzhen, I haven't seen you draw for a long time."
"How can there be such a leisurely mood now. You are lucky. Minister Huang didn't come home yesterday, right? Did you sleep well?" The two walked into the office and saw that Huang Shimu was not there. They probably went to wash their faces.
"Draw another one for me, I will definitely hang it in the most conspicuous place at home."
"Isn't the previous gift not enough?" Although Ruzhen said so, she still sat at the table and swiped a pen, "What should I draw?"
"The bear you saw in your notebook is very cute, don't you know that my nickname in the army is bear?"
"Bear? Here you are, be sure to hang it up." After finishing the drawing with a few strokes, she laughed out loud when she remembered Huang Shimu's appearance in judo.
"Thank you, Sister Ruzhen." Pu Shunchang happily took the paper and left.Huang Shimu met Huang Shimu at the elevator entrance, "Hey, Minister, good morning."
"Morning." Huang Shimu lowered his head, his eyes fell on Ru Zhenli's masterpiece on the back of the paper.
Torn paper from notebook.
"Minister Huang?" It was the first time Park Shunchang saw him in a daze, "Are you thinking about the case? You have worked hard."
"Oh," he came back to his senses and nodded, watching Park Shunchang walk into the elevator before turning his attention back to the result of the analysis just now.
At this moment, there is no room for distraction.
The whole day is full of meetings, evidence collection, interrogation, meetings, file transfers, discussions, meetings... and there is no time for dinner at [-] o'clock in the evening.Fortunately, Park Shunchang sent food over, so that everyone would not faint due to hypoglycemia.
"Thank you!" Ru Zhen patted him.
"Sister Ruzhen, don't be polite to me."
"We are all rich, haha, but we just need to eat." Department Chief Jin smiled, and handed a set of documents to Huang Shimu, "In Liu Xuexi's call log, Gao Kaiyang called Gao Kaiyang more than a dozen on the 12th." , before the funds were frozen. Generally, banks would have records, but Gao Kaiyang probably wouldn’t keep the receipt for such a thing.”
Huang Shimu frowned and considered for a moment, then blurted out, "The evidence should still be in Gao Kaiyang's office, Prosecutor Jiang!" Ru Zhen said in unison with him, and looked at Prosecutor Jiang at the same time.
Jiang Jian was stunned for a moment, then quickly agreed, grabbed his coat and went out.Chief Jin sighed casually: "Hey, the tacit understanding of the cooperation between Police Officer Han and our minister, I really couldn't find a second one in Seoul." After finishing speaking, there was a silence.
Cheng Jian finally couldn't hold it anymore, "Oh, my head hurts, and I feel a little fever... What, it's already eleven o'clock?!"
"Let's stop here today." Huang Shimu saw that everyone was so pale, and the dark circles under their eyes were getting bigger and bigger.The team members seemed to be pardoned, hurriedly packed their things and stretched away.When Ruzhen came back from the bathroom, he saw Huang Shimu still working endlessly in front of the computer. "Aren't you going to stay here all night again today?" She was inexplicably angry.
"Well, what happened?"
"If it's too late, forget it. Do you really think of yourself as a machine?"
Huang Shimu was also slightly angry, and his tone was still restrained, "Officer Han can go home and rest, and I have worked hard today."
Ruzhen met his forbearing gaze, sighed helplessly, raised the white flag of compromise in his heart, and pointed to a line of words on his computer with a wry smile: "Here, all typos are wrong. You must rest, or you will die tomorrow." See you at the hospital." As he spoke, he picked him up from the seat, covered his notebook, picked up his coat and dragged him out the door without any further explanation.
Huang Shimu, a man of his age, was stuffed into the co-pilot in such a daze, and the expression on his face softened because of grievance.
Silent all the way.
"Ramen... Do you want to eat it?" In order to break the embarrassing ambiguity, Ru Zhen asked in a low voice.
"what?"
"It's okay." She took back what she had just said.
Huang Shimu's stomach responded cooperatively.
Ru Zhen smiled, and parked the car in front of the orange caravan where he had eaten before.
"It's okay to be attacked at a time like today, and you'll get bullets when you're full." Ruzhen's tone was still carefree, without any flaws.
Huang Shimu got out of the car and ordered udon.You really ordered a bottle of shochu, and started drinking it yourself.
"Take another cup, please." Huang Shimu raised his hand to signal.
You really seem to be tired, speechless, just looking around the table.
When the glass was delivered, Ru Zhen held down the bottle, raised his eyes and said, "Minister Huang will drive later."
Huang Shimu sighed softly, as if holding a key to find the keyhole in the dark, why do they always miss each other again and again.Suddenly, there was a hint of sadness from the noodles.
Back at the apartment, the two of them who should have passed out from exhaustion were not able to sleep soundly through a thin wall.In this way, February 28 came with tossing and turning.
Everyone is stressed to the limit, and with just one poke, the emotional balloon will burst high in the air.
"Minister, we have located Yuan Taizhe's phone number. That should be his hiding place." Jiang Jian rushed into Menhui excitedly to report.
"Okay, you and Chief Jin will bring the police support and go with me." Huang Shimu even forgot his coat and got up to go out.
"Wait! Let me go too!" Ru Zhen stood up abruptly, she had been waiting for this moment for a long time.
"Need not."
"why!"
"You are a relevant person," he saw the murderous look in Ruzhen's eyes.
"What? Are you suspecting that I will be selfish? Is it really because of this?" In an unbelievable tone.
It seems that Ruzhen was the first one to explode.
When Huang Shimu was still bowing his head to speak, Ruzhen had already glared at him fiercely and walked away like the wind.Chief Jin shivered and smoothed things over, "That's their hiding place, the minister thinks it's too dangerous..."
Danger?When did Huang Shimu think about this? She snorted coldly, was she afraid that I would let Yuan Taezhe go?I will definitely bring him back to you!
Huang Shimu looked at the positioning signal that was obviously moving at a high speed on the big screen, and became uncontrollably anxious, and couldn't keep talking all the time.Yu Gong, of course he will take safety factors into consideration, and this is a task that can only be succeeded, not failed. If necessary, it will even block the future and life.In this case, why didn't you stop Ruzhen, why?He is already regretting, is it a momentary negligence of judgment?Or... all this time, what was it that he thought he was insulated from and avoided?
He started to have a headache again, he was tired of this familiar feeling, it hurt so badly, there was no end to it.
"Minister, Minister? What's wrong with you?" Cui Cui was taken aback by the fine beads of sweat on his forehead.
"I'll go and have a look."
"Then what about here?"
"
"Their car has also been modified. It's a bit difficult. Can you help me look at the navigation?"
"The next intersection is about 200 meters away, turn left."
"Okay, just 'slowly' shake them off right there."
Ruzhen stepped on the gas pedal and smiled at Huang Shimu with raised eyebrows.The fearlessness and freedom in that smile were so contagious that even in such a dangerous situation, Huang Shimu lowered his head and raised the corners of his mouth.
The annoying tail was finally thrown out of range, but still pursued.Ruzhen suddenly realized that the mobile phone has a signal! She can call the police now, but is the police here just an umbrella?By the way, call the chili sauce first.
The phone rang once and was picked up immediately, "Hey sister Ruzhen, why did you lose contact with Huang Jian, where are you now?"
"Did you get my text message?"
"Got it, we're on our way."
"Where are you? How many of you are there?"
"We'll be there soon, we've turned onto Highway No. 74, and we've just passed Exit 201."
"We were attacked, and we are about to get on Highway No. 74. You wait at the entrance, and we will intercept and arrest us as soon as we get up."
"How many people are there on the other side? There are two teams on our side."
"It's enough. Let's catch these people first. The other party has a gun, so be careful."
Ruzhen hung up the phone and said to Huang Shimu, "There is no need to stop and wait for them later, we have to rush back to Seoul as soon as possible."
"Well, I'll go directly to the chief prosecutor to apply for a search and arrest warrant. You can contact the police station in Lishui."
After confirming that the interception and arrest were successful, Ruzhen gave up the driving seat to Huang Shimu, picked up the mobile phone and dialed one by one, greeted the police officers at each level, explained what happened, and asked for support.Huang Shimu drove the car in silence, watching the sky outside the window from dark black to blue, and the sky turned white, Seoul will be a good weather.The building of the Central Prosecutor's Procuratorate looked even bigger and oppressive in the morning light, and Department Chief Jin and the others were already waiting in the office.The two came back just in time to start work, and the search and arrest warrants were transmitted to all levels, with countless official documents, documents, files, and dossiers...
The battle really begins now.
Ruzhen didn't know when there was an extra tissue in her hand, and she sniffed her nose from time to time. Her work schedule was too intensive during this period, and she couldn't sleep well every day, and her physical strength was already exhausted.Being able to survive until this time is just a mere cold, and it is also because the foundation was too good before.On the other hand, she is an unyielding character. On the way to the police station, she bought a mask with bread and coffee at a convenience store. After eating, she just caught up with the anti-terrorist team's round-robin interrogation.
It was already nine o'clock in the evening when the interrogation ended. Ruzhen came out of the interrogation room only to feel that her knees were sore and her whole body was in pain. She called Park Shunchang and asked him to stay at Huang Shimu's house for another night.She had to go back to her own home and get a good night's sleep to recover her blood.
Park Shunchang heard her hoarse voice, and immediately asked, "Do you have a fever? Have you taken your temperature? I'll go over and take you to the hospital now."
"It's okay, if it's serious, I will go by myself."
"Miss Ruzhen!"
"I won't tell you anymore, I'm going to sleep." Ruzhen put a piece of antipyretic patch on his forehead, fell on the bed in a daze, and didn't even have the energy to hang up the phone.
Huang Shimu stood at the door of the bedroom and was lost in thought. After a long while, he took out his coat and walked out while putting it on, "Special Police Park, please take me to the Central Police Station."
"Oh, yes. Are you in a hurry at this late hour?" Pu Shunchang quickly stood up.
"Yeah." Huang Shimu nodded.
When they arrived at the Central Police Station, Huang Shimu said to Park Shunchang, "I'll be here all night. The special police Park has worked hard to arrest you. Go back and rest."
Pu Shunchang didn't expect to be so lucky. After thanking him, he quickly dialed Ruzhen's phone number, and hurried out while calling, "Sister Ruzhen! Minister Huang is interrogating the suspect at the police station. I'm fine now. Are you okay? ? Let me go find you now..."
Huang Shimu watched him walk away, yawned with the documents, and walked into the interrogation room.
After the trial of the first suspect, Huang Shimu looked at his watch, it was just after one o'clock.He came out and took out his mobile phone and dialed Ruzhen from the call log.
The beeping waiting sound in the empty corridor seemed particularly long, "The phone you dialed has not been answered for the time being, and the voicemail has been transferred for you."
You can only press down to go back and continue the trial.
At 41:[-], Ruzhen called back. I don't know if it was because of anxiety or fever and confusion. I couldn't even take care of the basic politeness. "Oh, Huang Shimu! Are you okay? Where are you? I just saw your phone call, what happened? How could you let Park Soon-chang go! Have you contacted other security personnel?"
Huang Shimu, who was about to speak, was blocked and couldn't speak a word. He gestured to suspend the interrogation and walked out to lean against the corridor wall.
"At the Central Police Station, there was a question I wanted to confirm with you during the trial."
"Well, tell me. But why does the procuratorate put pressure on you at this time? So you haven't closed your eyes for two days in a row?" Ruzhen is still fighting for him.
"It's okay. What about you?" He took the opportunity to ask.
"The fever just subsided. I should be fine tomorrow."
"Where is Special Police Park?" He casually "confirmed" the issues that would affect his trial.
"Chili sauce? He came to look for me yesterday. I'm sorry, I let him go back in a daze. Why are you going now? Can I contact Police Officer Zhang for you?"
"No, that, the trial will continue."
"Oh, huh? Didn't you say there is a problem to confirm?"
"Too much. Let's talk about it when we meet tomorrow. Let's go to sleep." After saying the words "meet tomorrow", Huang Shimu felt a string in his head that was getting tighter and tighter suddenly loosened a few times in the opposite direction, and tiredness also surged up.
Ruzhen was still in the collapse after the fever subsided, answered the phone and hung up the phone and fell back on the bed, but couldn't fall asleep.Huang Shimu worked so hard this time, because he was under so much pressure. He won't have another headache.Ruzhen picked up the phone and sent a text message to Park Shunchang: In the morning, he must send Minister Huang home to rest.
--The special police, with the support of the local police in Lishui, Gwangju, finally destroyed the Zhongaijiao illegal factory and related institutions in Nanxi Village after two days of special operations.Seven or eight victims of illegal detention were rescued, and a large amount of illegal materials and promotional materials were seized.However, since Zhongai Church's communication is one-way, one-way, Zhong Jiongshi does not say a word, and his upstream organization has not yet broken through.
At the group meeting, Ru Zhen stared at the report and flipped through it several times in doubt. Huang Shimu couldn't help asking, "What's the matter?"
"Look here, and here, a considerable amount of supplies have been secretly transported to these two uninhabited islands. I was thinking, if this time their hidden buildings are not in Nanxi Village but also built on the uninhabited islands Is it possible that we didn't discover it from the beginning?"
"You mean, do you suspect that there are similar facilities on some uninhabited islands?" Jiang Jian interjected, "Is this possible? Will they do it?"
Ruzhen pursed her lips, she herself was not very sure, after all, she was only relying on intuitive guesses.
"We can choose a few villages in similar locations and contact them to take some photos with drones." Cheng Jian suggested.
Huang Shimu thought for a while, "Let's do this first."
"Could it be looking for a needle in a haystack?" Jiang Jian showed a troubled expression.
"Wait," Huang Shimu seemed to have suddenly remembered something. He dug out a few pages from a large pile of information and passed them to Jiang Jian. Sure enough, there was the name of Nanxi Village.
"Let's check from these places." Huang Shimu said.
"North Korea's reclamation plan?" Jiang Jian murmured in bewilderment.
Ru Zhen immediately slapped her forehead and realized, "Why didn't I think of this. Last time..." She stopped the car in time, and Huang Shimu's signature innocent face came online again.
It was the time they had a drink at Ruzhen's house more than two months ago. They once talked about Li Yunfan's reclamation project. Is there any connection with this public love incident?
The subsequent development was surprising. The House of Love was not involved in the land reclamation plan implemented by South Korea and North Korea. Instead, the Church of Love was found among the dozen or so target sites under negotiation.During the inspection process, the local police also actively cooperated, as if a pair of invisible hands were helping them to promote all this.
What is even more strange is that the media once again silenced collectively, only reporting on the seizure of illegal hallucinogens and local blockades, without mentioning the word Zhong Ai.Huang Shimu asked the chief prosecutor, and Ruzhen asked the anti-terrorism captain, and the answer they got was that the bombing case had not been completely cracked, and it was inconvenient to leak relevant information.Having said that, information that is not allowed to be leaked usually spreads the fastest, and the attitude of the media this time is suspicious.Huang Shimu remembered the reactions of the Minister of Justice and the Chief Cabinet during the previous report.Huang Shimu's authority to investigate upwards about the identity of the House of Love has reached its peak, but there are still too many blanks in the final answer.
The downward investigation became more and more clear. Cheng Jian and Secretary Cui returned from a business trip in Yanbian, China, and the key person in the incident changed from Yuan Tae-chul to Liu Xuexi.
In fact, Liu Xuexi is not the biological daughter of Liu Zongkui and Han Sunji in the file information, but an orphan adopted by them in China. In order for Liu Xuexi to grow up in a carefree environment, a forged birth certificate was registered as the biological child.
In the records of Liu Xuexi in the Chinese orphanage, his biological father Luo Hong's immediate family and collaterals have a history of mental illness.It was also Luo Hong's violent behavior that directly led to the deaths of the husband and wife.
However, Liu Xuexi still inherited the beauty of her biological mother Zhao Xue and the madness of Luo Hong. When she was 13 years old, she and Han Sunhee reported Liu Zongkui's sexual assault. Her life experience was not made public.After that, her adoptive mother Han Shanji divorced and brought her up alone, but the relationship between the two was not good. At the age of 16, she followed her boyfriend who was more than 20 years older than her at the time, first in Hong Kong, and later at the Paris University of the Arts as a body model, and became well-known in the Korean art circle.That's where she and Yuan Tae-cheol met.
The story of Liu Xuexi can be told in many ways. In the previous media, she was a pitiful victim. Won Tae-cheol introduced Ruzhen as an independent and spiritual artist. Colleagues in the school commented that she is a kind and enthusiastic woman like a daisy. But now it seems that the truth may be another version that is too dark to accept.
What really bothers you is that even though the Home of Love has been hit so hard, who is their leader, how did Yoo Seol-hee and Won Tae-chul join the Home of Love, and where the upper-level organization is is still completely unclear.
Zhao Yanzi, who has always been cunning, has his whereabouts exposed at this juncture because of an ordinary hotel theft.Ruzhen rummaged through her related items, and finally found the one-in-[-] possibility of a decisive victory in the folder of a handbook: a list of emergency contacts and a pattern composed of diamonds.
Digging deeper from the contact list, the task force roughly grasped the three-level member organization of the House of Love after a few days. The existing personnel and characteristics wrote a whiteboard full:
At present, it seems that the House of All Love has three types of believers. The lowest level is mobs in abjectly impoverished remote villages and towns. The strategy against them is to use village-based religious propaganda, that is, brainwashing through pyramid schemes.From a babbling child to a faltering old man can become a sharp knife for high-level murder.Ruzhen and the others were able to escape from Nanxi Village by chance, and it can be regarded as experiencing the horror of the collective unconsciousness for themselves.After Nahua and other children were rescued, according to the criminal facts of their parents and guardians, some returned to normal families, some defected to relatives, and some were brought up by social institutions. Nahua also started a new life with her father in Busan. Life.
The middle level is the insiders of various industries like Zhao Yanzi. Their information management is more confidential. The strategy of the high-level against them is obviously to provide sufficient security protection and lure them with benefits.Brainwashing is also essential, but the price of brainwashing is not just as simple as watching a promotional video and chanting slogans. When the elites find that their wealth, which they have struggled for half their lives, is controlled by love, leaving the church means losing everything. vested interest.The middle-class elites with their families are also firmly controlled by the House of Love.Their vast source of funding has now been identified as having a major link to tax leakage.
The highest level is divided into two types of people, predators and prey.The targeted prey are big business chaebols and high-level officials in various fields, many of whom have disgraceful black histories.The Predator not only understands and manages shady scenes, but more importantly, constantly creates new shady scenes. He must ensure that everyone at every level from top to bottom is infinitely loyal to the belief of love.Whether it is money bribes, sexual favors or illegal transactions, countless traps are woven into a large web, and the prey has no other way out except to transform into predators.It's a pity that this level is called by a numerical code name, and no conclusive identity information has been dug up yet.
Fortunately, Yuan Tae-cheol and Liu Xuexi were not included in the list. You really thought, maybe they are just friends who were called to paint, and they have nothing to do with Zhongaijiao, and they are hiding from the limelight now.Although she comforted herself like this, she didn't dare to let go until the truth came out.After all, Liu Xuexi herself is a dangerous person.
When the two of them returned to their residence in the evening, Ru Zhen breathed a sigh of relief, shaking her notebook a little proudly, "Would Huang Jian also prepare a copy, it's really useful for solving crimes, graphical thinking, and fully stimulates the potential of the brain!"
"Zhao Yanzi wouldn't have been arrested if he didn't have this." Huang Shimu was still as venomous as ever.
"That's because of different positions. Look, let me tell you, this painting was drawn by me during a previous kidnapping case. Here, this is a theft case..."
Huang Shimu saw that she was talking with great interest, so he took it and flipped through a few pages, and suddenly he turned to a bear wearing a round neck T-shirt, "What kind of case is this?"
Ruzhen glanced at it and quickly retracted it with a smile, "This... is just for fun."
Huang Shimu thoughtfully, nodded noncommittally, and touched his pocket subconsciously.
Ruzhen still wanted to explain, and Jin Zhengben called: "Did you really see the email? I saw a lot of news about the Home of Love on the dark web. I happened to see the diamond pattern you sent. Some people said it was The new contact sign of the House of Love. As for the other code words, I don’t know what they represent, but I’ve collected them and sent them to you.”
"Okay, I will continue to investigate, thank you." Ruzhen forwarded the email to colleagues in the technical team.
"Let's stop here today," Huang Shimu saw her yawning uncontrollably, "I've been sleeping on the sofa, are you okay?"
"Is the prosecutor going to let me sleep in the bed? Oh, you suddenly became the hero of an idol drama?" Ruzhen smiled, "You're welcome, you should go to bed earlier."
"Okay, good night." Huang Shimu went back to the bedroom and turned on his phone, saved the photo taken in the hotel apartment in a separate folder, thought about it, and added a password.
The content deciphered by the intelligence team on the second day really verified Ruzhen's long-standing worries: the high-level executives of the House of Love recently elected a god, and the congregation called him the chosen immortal, and they worshiped and swore allegiance to him.The first instruction issued by the priest after he readily accepted it was to hold a coronation ceremony attended by all believers on February 29, during which he would announce an important decision.There are hundreds of thousands of responders below.
February 29th is a day that only exists in leap years.February 29 was also a joke she and Won Tae-cheol had made since childhood.At that time, she often said big things, "One day I will be a manga artist greater than Osamu Tezuka."Won Tae-chul would make fun of her and say, "That day is February 29th."Later, her ambition was changed to being a police officer, so she often joked about Won Tae-cheol, "Be careful on February 29th, even if we are friends, I will not let you go on February 29th." .
Now, is that a coincidence?
Or is it a hint from Won Tae-cheol to himself?
The coronation ceremony attended by all believers may be the only chance for this case to find a breakthrough. If it is missed, this mysterious organization will inevitably resurface.Ruzhen hesitated for a moment, but told Huang Shimu and other members of the task force the details.
"What do you think?"
"From the current point of view, Yuan Tae-cheol and Liu Xuexi are likely to be among the core members. We must find key clues within three days."
There were only three days until February 29th, and he folded his hands and looked at each team member calmly. Facing the huge and invisible pressure, the entire office fell into a deathly silence.
"Continue to work." After saying this, Huang Shimu lowered his head as if nothing had happened.
--February 26
Ruzhen’s luggage is really all-encompassing. There are only a few pieces of clothes and shoes. In addition to comic snacks, game consoles, ramen pots, facial masks, and dumbbells, the remaining space can accommodate simple toast machines and milkshake cups.
It just takes 2 minutes to bake bread every day, with a thin layer of butter or tomato and onion sauce on it, and it tastes so different from the vending machine.The stomach that was empty all night was awakened by hot coffee, and finally the dull pain stopped.These days, Huang Shimu's dependence on breakfast has grown secretly.
Ru Zhen had already taken a shower and left the bathroom, leaving behind the almost imperceptible faint smell of body wash, and there were no other imaginable personal items in the bathroom.Huang Shimu has always appreciated Officer Han's grasp of the sense of distance. He knows that it takes sincere humility and extraordinary wisdom to be so thoughtful and comfortable.
It’s just that Huang Shimu was standing under the shower, the warm water washed over his tense body, and a question from an unknown field suddenly popped up: Is it normal for ordinary men and women to shower in the same bathroom for 5 minutes before and after without any dust in their hearts? ?
If it was abnormal, it could only be because of him.
If it were someone else, Police Officer Han might not have lived in a single man's house because of work tasks at first. He stared at the wall, would he? !
No matter which answer this idea extends to, it is difficult to convince himself. Huang Shimu's judgments have always been based on evidence and logic. He has hardly known anything about invisible things and human emotions in the past 20 years.
The subtle sense of frustration unknowingly wets the tranquility brought by breakfast.
On the car to the local inspection, the two started discussing the brainwashing of the villagers from the case.
"Don't you think it's pitiful?" Ruzhen sighed while driving.
"what?"
"The villagers in Nanxi, if they weren't so impoverished that they had no way to survive, they wouldn't be controlled by a cult full of loopholes like Zhong Ai Sect."
"Poverty also has the bottom line of being a human being. It is impossible for them to be completely unaware that it is a crime when they do those things, but they still do it. If it were you, would you?" Huang Shimu is rarely serious.
"This assumption itself is not convincing. I already have the identity and position of a law enforcement officer. Of course, I am more alert to various potential illegal acts than ordinary people."
"Ordinary people... not all ordinary people have become criminals. Although the cruelty of society is different for people of different classes, it is also common. As a citizen, the minimum awareness of law-abiding is also a part of national education. Part of it. Do you think even this part of our education has failed?"
"But what about people like Na Hua who have been brainwashed since childhood?" Ru Zhen retorted unconvinced.
"If it really failed, we wouldn't be talking about it here." Huang Shimu turned against the general.
Ruzhen was speechless, feeling like he was talking to a duck, and said angrily: "If we hadn't been to Nanxi, how long could Nahua persist like this? After three years, five years, ten years and 20 years, she won't become a villain. A Zhong Jiongshi?"
"When it's time to rely on law enforcement agencies to make corrections, I won't sympathize with a criminal." Thinking of Yuan Tae-cheol, Huang Shimu unconsciously defended his shaky views.
"Hey! How could this person be like this..." Ru was so angry that he was still trying to explain, "I mean, even if the prosecutor sympathizes with them, it will not affect the justice and judgment of the case, will it? Why force yourself to be as cold as a robot." The last sentence was lowered, but it still clearly reached Huang Shimu's ears.
force?He asked the question coldly in his heart, without forcing it at all.Doesn't Officer Han know what kind of person he was? "I won't empathize with criminals like you, Police Officer Han, or any ordinary person of flesh and blood. There's no need for that." He stared straight ahead, his face unable to distinguish between joy and sorrow.
"Who else can do it except you? Is our goal to pursue absolute justice? Don't use your own advantages to overwhelm other people's efforts, okay?" Ruzhen said this because she always felt Huang Shimu's sequelae of surgery He has contributed a lot to being an excellent prosecutor, but he forgot that he might want to be a complete person first besides being a prosecutor.
When the car stopped at the gate of the prefectural police, Huang Shimu nodded politely and got out of the car. He didn't wait for Ruzhen to park the car as usual, and walked to the office by himself.
Ruzhen watched his lonely back walking up the huge steps in the car, and suddenly felt that maybe he was the one who was careless and lacked understanding in the conversation just now.While she was in a daze, the car behind honked its horn, and looking in the rearview mirror, it was Park Shunchang who smiled at her and showed his white teeth.
"Oh chili sauce, are you coming to change shift?" Ruzhen got out of the car and greeted with a smile.
"The captain asked me to see if there is anything I can help. I heard that the case will be solved within three days."
"Yeah!" Ru Zhen looked crying, "There is no clue at all, and..."
"What else?"
"It's nothing." Ru glanced in Huang Shimu's direction, and this guy had already gone upstairs.
"Sister Ruzhen, would you like to give you some lipstick as an encouragement?" Pu Shunchang made a gesture of putting on lipstick as a joke, but he was telling the truth.
"Hey one!" Ruzhen made a gesture to hit him. "This kid has become more and more arrogant recently, is it itchy again!"
Pu Shunchang obediently was backhanded by Ru Zhen in the car and begged for mercy with a smile.Ruzhen let go of his hand, feeling a little relief from the tightness in his chest, and walked into the prosecutor's building boldly.
The discussion went on for two rounds, and everyone felt that the atmosphere in the office today was slightly awkward amidst the usual tension, but they couldn't tell what the awkwardness was.
"Let's go to collect evidence." Seeing that Pu Shunchang was doing nothing, Ruzhen grabbed a strong man before going out.
"Well, you go slowly." Seeing that the minister didn't lift his eyelids, Department Chief Jin quickly smoothed things over, but when he turned around, he saw Huang Shimu staring at the door and sighing softly.
"Officer Han and this special police officer Park really can't see the four-year-old age difference." Officer Cui said casually.
"No one cares about age difference now." Cheng Jian answered casually, "Officer Han is even less likely to care."
"Let's talk about people behind their backs." Department Chief Jin looked at Minister Huang's face and winked at everyone desperately.
After eating a sandwich for lunch alone in the office, Huang Shimu went to the bathroom to wash his face. Looking at the expressionless face in the mirror, he suddenly felt strange, disgustingly strange.To his surprise, a bored expression followed, even if only for a fleeting moment.
Just feeling a little comfort, tinnitus appeared without warning.He propped himself on both sides of the washbasin, his mind was rolling every word Ruzhen said in the car, the impact directly turned into a sharp tingling pain.The phone rang suddenly, and he pressed it with the last of his strength.
"I've found a witness!" Ru Zhen's excited and joyful voice came, warm and open like the rising tide of the sea.
"Okay, then bring it back and ask." He blushed with cold sweat, squeezed out these few words, put down the phone and pressed the phone.
"What! Is this person still angry!" Park Shunchang noticed Ru Zhen's disappointment.
"Then I'll take him back. Sister Ruzhen, you can continue to investigate other witnesses."
"Okay, I'm counting on you. Also, I'm counting on you tonight." Since the day before yesterday, she and Park Shunchang also took turns to perform protection tasks at night.Under such circumstances, she didn't want to be so angry by Huang Shimu that she vomited blood.
Based on the clues provided by the new witnesses, the task force finally determined the identity information of the first member of the core group--Chairman Gao Kaiyang of the Jianglan Group.Immediately afterwards, a search warrant was applied for, and the company was seized in one go, but Gao Kaiyang himself disappeared.
When it was time to get off work, Huang Shimu didn't need protection at all. He went through all the relevant information of Jiang Lan Group in the office overnight.It was almost dawn before falling asleep on the table.
In the early morning of the 27th, Ruzhen bought a cup of coffee and opened the door, and the scene before her was exactly what she had imagined.He picked up the coat on the back of the chair and wanted to put it on him, but he thought of the sweater he dropped when he ran into Prosecutor Yong, so he let it go.Putting the coffee in front of him, he walked back out the door gently, and went downstairs to buy a cup and sandwiches for everyone.At the gate, I met Pu Shunchang who seemed to be waiting there all the time.
"I'll help you get it, why did you buy so much?"
"You have a share too. You have to complain about everything you do."
"Ah, no, I'm just, forget it. Sister Ruzhen, I haven't seen you draw for a long time."
"How can there be such a leisurely mood now. You are lucky. Minister Huang didn't come home yesterday, right? Did you sleep well?" The two walked into the office and saw that Huang Shimu was not there. They probably went to wash their faces.
"Draw another one for me, I will definitely hang it in the most conspicuous place at home."
"Isn't the previous gift not enough?" Although Ruzhen said so, she still sat at the table and swiped a pen, "What should I draw?"
"The bear you saw in your notebook is very cute, don't you know that my nickname in the army is bear?"
"Bear? Here you are, be sure to hang it up." After finishing the drawing with a few strokes, she laughed out loud when she remembered Huang Shimu's appearance in judo.
"Thank you, Sister Ruzhen." Pu Shunchang happily took the paper and left.Huang Shimu met Huang Shimu at the elevator entrance, "Hey, Minister, good morning."
"Morning." Huang Shimu lowered his head, his eyes fell on Ru Zhenli's masterpiece on the back of the paper.
Torn paper from notebook.
"Minister Huang?" It was the first time Park Shunchang saw him in a daze, "Are you thinking about the case? You have worked hard."
"Oh," he came back to his senses and nodded, watching Park Shunchang walk into the elevator before turning his attention back to the result of the analysis just now.
At this moment, there is no room for distraction.
The whole day is full of meetings, evidence collection, interrogation, meetings, file transfers, discussions, meetings... and there is no time for dinner at [-] o'clock in the evening.Fortunately, Park Shunchang sent food over, so that everyone would not faint due to hypoglycemia.
"Thank you!" Ru Zhen patted him.
"Sister Ruzhen, don't be polite to me."
"We are all rich, haha, but we just need to eat." Department Chief Jin smiled, and handed a set of documents to Huang Shimu, "In Liu Xuexi's call log, Gao Kaiyang called Gao Kaiyang more than a dozen on the 12th." , before the funds were frozen. Generally, banks would have records, but Gao Kaiyang probably wouldn’t keep the receipt for such a thing.”
Huang Shimu frowned and considered for a moment, then blurted out, "The evidence should still be in Gao Kaiyang's office, Prosecutor Jiang!" Ru Zhen said in unison with him, and looked at Prosecutor Jiang at the same time.
Jiang Jian was stunned for a moment, then quickly agreed, grabbed his coat and went out.Chief Jin sighed casually: "Hey, the tacit understanding of the cooperation between Police Officer Han and our minister, I really couldn't find a second one in Seoul." After finishing speaking, there was a silence.
Cheng Jian finally couldn't hold it anymore, "Oh, my head hurts, and I feel a little fever... What, it's already eleven o'clock?!"
"Let's stop here today." Huang Shimu saw that everyone was so pale, and the dark circles under their eyes were getting bigger and bigger.The team members seemed to be pardoned, hurriedly packed their things and stretched away.When Ruzhen came back from the bathroom, he saw Huang Shimu still working endlessly in front of the computer. "Aren't you going to stay here all night again today?" She was inexplicably angry.
"Well, what happened?"
"If it's too late, forget it. Do you really think of yourself as a machine?"
Huang Shimu was also slightly angry, and his tone was still restrained, "Officer Han can go home and rest, and I have worked hard today."
Ruzhen met his forbearing gaze, sighed helplessly, raised the white flag of compromise in his heart, and pointed to a line of words on his computer with a wry smile: "Here, all typos are wrong. You must rest, or you will die tomorrow." See you at the hospital." As he spoke, he picked him up from the seat, covered his notebook, picked up his coat and dragged him out the door without any further explanation.
Huang Shimu, a man of his age, was stuffed into the co-pilot in such a daze, and the expression on his face softened because of grievance.
Silent all the way.
"Ramen... Do you want to eat it?" In order to break the embarrassing ambiguity, Ru Zhen asked in a low voice.
"what?"
"It's okay." She took back what she had just said.
Huang Shimu's stomach responded cooperatively.
Ru Zhen smiled, and parked the car in front of the orange caravan where he had eaten before.
"It's okay to be attacked at a time like today, and you'll get bullets when you're full." Ruzhen's tone was still carefree, without any flaws.
Huang Shimu got out of the car and ordered udon.You really ordered a bottle of shochu, and started drinking it yourself.
"Take another cup, please." Huang Shimu raised his hand to signal.
You really seem to be tired, speechless, just looking around the table.
When the glass was delivered, Ru Zhen held down the bottle, raised his eyes and said, "Minister Huang will drive later."
Huang Shimu sighed softly, as if holding a key to find the keyhole in the dark, why do they always miss each other again and again.Suddenly, there was a hint of sadness from the noodles.
Back at the apartment, the two of them who should have passed out from exhaustion were not able to sleep soundly through a thin wall.In this way, February 28 came with tossing and turning.
Everyone is stressed to the limit, and with just one poke, the emotional balloon will burst high in the air.
"Minister, we have located Yuan Taizhe's phone number. That should be his hiding place." Jiang Jian rushed into Menhui excitedly to report.
"Okay, you and Chief Jin will bring the police support and go with me." Huang Shimu even forgot his coat and got up to go out.
"Wait! Let me go too!" Ru Zhen stood up abruptly, she had been waiting for this moment for a long time.
"Need not."
"why!"
"You are a relevant person," he saw the murderous look in Ruzhen's eyes.
"What? Are you suspecting that I will be selfish? Is it really because of this?" In an unbelievable tone.
It seems that Ruzhen was the first one to explode.
When Huang Shimu was still bowing his head to speak, Ruzhen had already glared at him fiercely and walked away like the wind.Chief Jin shivered and smoothed things over, "That's their hiding place, the minister thinks it's too dangerous..."
Danger?When did Huang Shimu think about this? She snorted coldly, was she afraid that I would let Yuan Taezhe go?I will definitely bring him back to you!
Huang Shimu looked at the positioning signal that was obviously moving at a high speed on the big screen, and became uncontrollably anxious, and couldn't keep talking all the time.Yu Gong, of course he will take safety factors into consideration, and this is a task that can only be succeeded, not failed. If necessary, it will even block the future and life.In this case, why didn't you stop Ruzhen, why?He is already regretting, is it a momentary negligence of judgment?Or... all this time, what was it that he thought he was insulated from and avoided?
He started to have a headache again, he was tired of this familiar feeling, it hurt so badly, there was no end to it.
"Minister, Minister? What's wrong with you?" Cui Cui was taken aback by the fine beads of sweat on his forehead.
"I'll go and have a look."
"Then what about here?"
