Abyss of ignorance

The first thing Zhong Qi did after taking office was to reject the already arranged director's office.

This was the room used by Xu Binyong, and she chose to move into Chen Yu's room.

Regarding this move, there was a lot of discussion in the bureau. Some said that she was avoiding Xu Binyong, and some said that the next step of the bureau might be to focus on criminal investigation.

Only Lin Xiaodong knows why.

After Zhong Qi sat in the office, the first person he called in was Lin Xiaodong.

Under the worried eyes of his team members, Lin Xiaodong walked into the room he was once very familiar with on crutches.

After Chen Yu died, he never set foot here again because he didn't dare to face it.

In the bottom of his heart, he always believed that Chen Yu died because of him.

There are traces of Chen Yu everywhere in this office, and the guilt that he can no longer make up for.

Zhong Qi did not sit down, but stood by the window, which was where Chen Yu used to stand.

This situation made Lin Xiaodong feel confused.

Zhong Qi changed his seriousness from the first meeting and said to Lin Xiaodong with a kind smile: "How is it? I cooperate well, right?"

Lin Xiaodong was embarrassed and muttered: "This is the first time I heard from the leader that he would cooperate with me."

"After I saw you last time at Anle Cemetery, I didn't expect that you would lose the prize so quickly." Zhong Qi joked.

"Well, if I met you when I was sweeping Master's grave, I wouldn't know that you are old friends."

Zhong Qi sighed: "Actually, I was in Qinghu. I heard the news of his sacrifice and wanted to rush over to see him off. But I had a security mission at that time and I couldn't leave the others and run to Linzhou. Ah and I Yudu is a policeman, I think he understands."

"Director Zhong, please excuse me to ask, between you and Master..." Lin Xiaodong seemed to have been holding back this question for a long time.

Zhong Qi smiled calmly: "You want to say, have we talked about it? How to put it, I guess. At that time, we were all children under twenty. Many things that seem easy to say now, I just couldn't say it at that time. , when I graduated, I was assigned to Qinghu, and he stayed in Linzhou, and we kept in touch. During this period, I had a chance to be transferred, and tentatively asked him for his opinion. Unexpectedly, he suddenly told me that there was no need to contact me. .”

"why?"

"I think it's because of his brother's incident. Of course, I didn't understand it for many years. It wasn't until Jiang Wanchao's incident came out that I thought about it. I'm afraid he was worried that I would be implicated and deliberately avoided it."

"Well, Bureau Chen has always been alone and has never had a family." Lin Xiaodong said sadly, then adjusted his mood and said to Zhong Qi, "By the way, Bureau Zhong, I want to report to you about Lao Liang's handling. "

"Whatever you want to do, as long as it doesn't violate the rules, just do it." Zhong Qi said enlightenedly.

……

When Lin Xiaodong left the Public Security Bureau, it was dark for the first time.

He limped to the door and saw the black car on the other side of the road turning around and stopping in front of him, as if it had calculated the time.

The car window rolled down and it was Ye Mi.

"At this point, it's not that easy to take a taxi." She said to him, "With this injury, you don't have to wait for me to open the door for you, right?"

Lin Xiaodong liked her attitude. Sometimes people's psychology is very strange. For example, Lin Xiaodong didn't like to be treated specially when he was injured or sick, which made him feel powerless.

The car quickly drove away from the police station. "I heard that you finally solved Xu Binyong's case, congratulations." Ye Miumi said.

"Oh, news spreads very quickly, doesn't it?"

"The former police chief, the statue of the City God's Temple...any one of them is enough to attract everyone's attention. As long as the gossip is screened well, it is the fastest way to understand the situation." Ye Miemei said.

"It can only be said that the black sheep lurking within us has finally been eliminated, but the person who attracted him has not yet been arrested." Lin Xiaodong's tone was somewhat heavy, "The way they contacted is very covert, and a complete chain of evidence must be formed. There is still a long way to go before Paula is brought to justice."

"Calculating her age, she might be dead before you finish collecting the evidence." Ye Miumi smiled evilly.

"But you told me that they are not led by a wolf, but a family. This person's death will not fundamentally shake their entire power like Lin Zhengyang did, right?" Lin Xiaodong had a clear mind.

"It seems that I remember what you said to me very well."

"Well, if you don't, you won't tell me next time." This time it was Lin Xiaodong's turn to smile evilly.

"Back to the subject, I'm looking for you this time to tell you something. I've signed a contract with Legend Company, and the foundation stone for the East Petroleum Oil Market project will be laid next week."

"It's progressing very quickly. Then shouldn't it be my turn to say congratulations to you?"

"No, starting from tomorrow, the whole Linzhou will know that the construction of the Dongshi land will start next week. I have bought all the popular pages to warm up this matter."

"Huh? This is not like the always low-key Mr. Ye."

"You have to make the people who covet that land anxious. I found something interesting. The parties involved in the competition don't seem to be so clear about why this land is so popular." Ye Shimi suddenly said.

"It's true, so far, none of the people I've interrogated related to this matter know what secrets it hides." Lin Xiaodong said thoughtfully.

"I guess the person who knows the secret hasn't returned to Linzhou yet." Ye Miumi said leisurely.

……

Long Island, at the seaside, Shen Pan was sitting in a wheelchair looking at the sea, and the person next to him handed over the phone.

"Louis, you haven't called me alone for a long time." Shen Pan's old and vague voice sounded.

"Excuse me, who are you from Lu Yin?" There was a strange voice on the other end of the phone, speaking pure Mandarin that Shen Pan had not seen for a long time.

When Shen Pan heard this voice, her wrinkled face seemed to freeze for a moment, but soon she returned to normal and said slowly: "I am his great-grandmother, who are you?" This tone, As if he were an ordinary elder.

"This is the Linzhou Public Security Bureau." The other end of the phone continued.

"Public Security Bureau? Did Louis do something wrong?" she asked cautiously.

"No, Mr. Lu is missing. We found his mobile phone in the place where he disappeared. In his mobile phone address book, you are the only contact information for a relative. Are his parents there?"

"They have passed away..."

"What about...the other relatives? We found that Mr. Lu is alone in Linzhou. We have to contact his family to assist in the investigation." said the other end of the phone.

"Dearest relative, I am the only one with him." Shen Pan's voice was drowned in the sound of the waves.
