Abyss of ignorance

As Lin Xiaodong was talking, a hand suddenly placed on his arm. At the same time, a lady's voice said: "If he is really suspicious, ask him alone. This place is not appropriate."

Lin Xiaodong did not turn to look at her, but said impatiently: "Jianfeng, close the door. No one else can come in except those in the team!"

"Uh... Captain Lin..." Yue Jianfeng, who had always followed Lin Xiaodong's advice, actually hesitated, and all the onlookers invariably moved their eyes away from Lin Xiaodong to the direction of the lady.

Standing next to him was an older lady, wearing a uniform that Lin Xiaodong was very familiar with. She had neat short hair. There were some traces of age on her face, but her full mental state diluted the influence of age and she looked energetic. Yiyi.

Soon, Lin Xiaodong's eyes fell on the police rank on her shoulder. One wheat and one star, it was a third-level police supervisor. In other words, it was the same level as Xu Binyong.

"Are you Director Zhong?" Yue Jianfeng was the first to react and couldn't help but stand up straight.

"Yes, I am Zhong Qi." She said and looked at Yue Jianfeng, "You are the deputy captain Yue Jianfeng, then you are..." She looked at Lin Xiaodong, who was wearing crutches and wrapped in gauze, "Lin Xiaodong?"

Despite this, Lin Xiaodong did not let go of Xiao Xu's hand, but persistently said to Zhong Qi: "Zhong Bureau, Lin Xiaodong of the Criminal Police Brigade is reporting to you..."

"Wait a minute." Zhong Qi interrupted him, "You don't have to report to me. Take the person to the interrogation room and I'll just listen." Her tone of voice was calm, but there was a kind of majesty that no one could defy. After hearing this, Lin Xiaodong could only do as she said.

In the interrogation room, Xiao Xu sat in the interrogation position for the first time.When the lights on the ceiling were turned down, Lin Xiaodong found that he had never looked at Xiao Xu's face as carefully as he did at this moment.

In fact, Xiao Xu is not young anymore. He is a policeman who has been working at the grassroots level for many years and finally reached the city bureau.

But his always positive and diligent attitude gives people the illusion that he is always a newcomer.

The last person who looked so innocent sitting in this seat was Zheng Xiaohua, who was equally confused, panicked and at a loss.

However, everyone now knows that Zheng Xiaohua is not as innocent as she seems. This seems to have taught Lin Xiaodong a lesson, so that he seems too cold sitting in front of his colleagues who live with him day and night.

"Captain Lin, please calm down. I was really careless..." Xiao Xu prayed persistently, but his breathing was already very rapid. He had never lost his temper since he entered the criminal investigation, but at this time Too.

However, his mood was stable at the moment. In such an atmosphere, there was no use except making Lin Xiaodong look at him with more suspicion.

"I'm calm." Lin Xiaodong said, "This is not the first time you have been negligent. The last time I asked you to compare shoe prints, you were already negligent." Lin Xiaodong stared at him and said.

"Captain Lin, I really couldn't find it that time. I stayed up for several long nights. Captain Yue and Lao Liang can all testify!" Xiao Xu said, looking at Yue Jianfeng for help, but Yue Jianfeng seemed to be iron-clad. Xin and Lin Xiaodong stood together without responding at all.

Seeing Yue Jianfeng like this, Xiao Xu seemed to feel cold for a moment. He slumped on the chair and murmured: "Why don't you believe me..."

"Ding Manguan's shoe prints appeared in the information on Xu Binyong's murder case. You stayed up for several nights and didn't find it. Is this reasonable?" Lin Xiaodong looked at him and continued, "Don't you think that the more you Is it because of hard work that the doubt will increase?" Xiao Xu was left speechless. For a moment, his face turned red and white, and all kinds of emotions seemed to be looking for an outlet in his body, but they were all suppressed in the end. Went back.

Suddenly, Director Zhong's voice came from the interrogation room: "Okay, the interrogation ends here. Lin Xiaodong, come to me."

This is the first time that Lin Xiaodong has been interrupted by a leader during the interrogation process in so many years of working in the industry. The unhappiness on his face can no longer be hidden.

Zhong Qi was watching next door, and Lin Xiaodong knew it.

He glanced at Xiao Xu, slapped the pen on the table, and went to Zhong Qi's place.

"Zhong Ju, Xiao Xu's psychological defense will collapse soon. You interrupt me now. I don't know how much effort it will take to get him to let go next time." Lin Xiaodong was already anxious. He didn't even bother to open the door as soon as he entered. If you don't pass the test, you'll just blurt it out.

Zhong Qi sat and looked at Lin Xiaodong with an uncomfortable look: "Lin Xiaodong, if your usual interrogation level is like this, I will be very disappointed. This is not the level that a captain of a municipal criminal police brigade should have."

Her words were like a blow to Lin Xiaodong. It was okay to question anything about him, but questioning his business was really the most unacceptable, not to mention that these words came from the mouth of the new director.

Lin Xiaodong tried hard to suppress his emotions and explained to Zhong Qi: "Zhong Bureau, something unexpected happened today. I should have reported to you first the progress of Xu Binyong's case. From the clues I collected, Xiao Xu has a major problem." suspicion."

"I will find out later what clues you have, but from the interview just now, what I see is a biased superior putting pressure on his subordinates, and the basis he proposed is not enough." Zhong Qi's expression was much more serious than before, as if according to her determination, such a tone was quite dissatisfying.

Lin Xiaodong was stunned, as if the sentence he and Yue Jianfeng had chatted about, "No one comes with good intentions", began to come true.

If it was last year, he would definitely have argued with Zhong Qi with a stiff neck. However, at this moment, Lin Xiaodong clenched his fists but said nothing more.

"Put the person in custody first and wait until I hear the report." Zhong Qi said.

"I can report to you now on the progress of Xu Binyong's case." Lin Xiaodong said immediately.

Zhong Qi looked at him: "What I want is not random talk. I will give you one night. I will listen to the report tomorrow morning. If the conclusive evidence points to Xiao Xu, I will follow the principle of avoidance and start from Other bureaus mobilized resources to follow up the investigation."

Lin Xiaodong was speechless and stayed in place, watching Zhong Qi leave the room.

Xiao Xu was temporarily detained at Zhong Qi's request.

Yue Jianfeng came out of the interrogation room and immediately ran to Lin Xiaodong: "You didn't turn off the microphone just now. I heard it all. This Director Zhong seems quite friendly at first glance, but I didn't expect it to be so powerful."
