Detective: Open your eyes, I am handcuffed in the interrogation room.

Chapter 462 Tieping Branch
Taicheng is next to Yangcheng, not far away, but Tieping District is at the southernmost part of Taicheng and is almost reaching Yicheng, so Chen Yi and his team almost returned along the same route.

When we arrived at Tieping Branch, it was almost eight o'clock.

Those who were supposed to get off work had already left, and the Tieping Branch seemed rather deserted.

Chen Yi did not inform the Taicheng Municipal Bureau. Everything had to wait until the matter was clarified.

The group of seven people was very conspicuous, and before they reached the reception hall, police officers from the police station stopped them.

"Wait a minute, what are you doing?"

The young policeman was getting ready to go off work in his uniform. He looked to be in his early twenties, a little fat. There was a scrutinizing look in his eyes and questioning in his tone.

Chen Yi took a glance and saw that the other person’s armband said Auxiliary Police.

Some newly recruited auxiliary police officers have problems with their mentality. They choose to be auxiliary police officers for one, to make money from their job, and second, for the identity of half a police officer. They think they are superior to others and like the feeling of control when facing suspects.

Of course, there are also many auxiliary police officers who work diligently for the people, make repeated meritorious services, make great contributions to combating crimes, and even sacrifice their lives.

In any industry, it is inevitable that there will be good and bad people.

Chen Yi didn't like the young man in front of him and directly classified him into the [partial] category.

"I'm asking you, what do you do?" the police officer repeated.

It seems that not every policeman recognizes Chen Yi's face.

Qin Fei, who was standing beside him, sensed Chen Yi's displeasure, snorted coldly, and stepped forward to take out his ID: "Provincial Department Research Group, this is Chen Yi, deputy chief of the Provincial Department Criminal Investigation Corps and chief of the Yangcheng City Bureau Criminal Investigation Brigade. I'm asking your leader to come over."

The young man was startled and his body trembled noticeably. He almost suspected that he had heard it wrong.

He just started working today!
That’s right, it was today. I just put on this outfit and was involved in handling a prostitution violation this afternoon. My task was to watch the suspect sign and seal the detention decision.

The feeling of law enforcement is great and exciting!
I was just working overtime to sort out some documents tonight, how come I ran into the deputy chief of the provincial department? ?

This is too unlucky!

In his eyes, the team leader is already a big boss. Above the team leader is the squadron leader, above the squadron leader is the captain, and above the captain are the director and deputy director of the branch bureau, and the captain of the municipal bureau...

Deputy Chief of Provincial Department?
My mother!
"Uh...I...Chen..."

The young man's mind went blank for a moment and he stammered a few words, not knowing what he wanted to express.

Obviously, he was frightened by Chen Yi's identity.

The auxiliary police, who are new to the job, should indeed be frightened.

Not to mention him, when the director of the branch heard that the research team had arrived, he had to rush over immediately no matter what he was doing.

Qin Fei: "What? Call your leader, quickly!"

"Ohhhh...okay."

The young man reacted, but didn't know what to do. He subconsciously took out his cell phone, turned around and started dialing.

He called Brother Wang who was accompanying him, since he was the person with the most say among the people he could contact.

Taicheng Tieping Branch has a plainclothes brigade whose function is to deal with crimes closely related to the people, such as fraud, theft, robbery, and prostitution. Brother Wang is an ordinary formal police officer under the plainclothes brigade.

"Hello? Brother Wang, Captain Chen Yi from the Provincial Department is here... the research team..."

The young man whispered something.

“Who’s coming?!!”

Without waiting for the young man to finish, Brother Wang asked loudly on the phone, looking quite shocked.

The report was raised very quickly. Brother Wang called the captain directly, who immediately reported to the deputy director in charge, and the deputy director notified the director.

The director was still in a meeting in the city, looking a little confused. Chen Yi came to Taicheng?
Didn't the research team go to Suicheng, Jiangcheng and Yicheng? Why did they come to Taicheng?
He didn't even hold the meeting, but called each deputy director one by one.

Taicheng Tieping Branch has six deputy directors, who are in charge of the police stations in the jurisdiction as well as the brigades and departments within the bureau. The purpose of his call was simple: whether someone was causing trouble.

The answer was negative.

Everything is normal, Taicheng is very peaceful.

The director didn't believe it. There must be a reason why Chen Yi brought the research team to Taicheng without saying a word. It couldn't be to drink tea!
Let’s meet first and talk about it later.

He gave a death order, no matter what everyone was doing, go back! Even if you are in the hospital, bring an IV bottle!

The Tieping Branch began to become lively in the evening. Cars drove into the parking lot one after another. After getting off the cars, everyone whispered to each other and then quickly walked into the hall.

No one was seen.

After asking, I found out that Chen Yi went to the conference room and was waiting.

The few people were not in a hurry. They pulled the young auxiliary police officer aside and asked him about the situation in detail, such as what the research team came for, what they said, how they felt, whether they were happy or angry.

The young man had never seen such a scene before. Seven directors who were usually elusive showed up. He was frightened and could not answer anything.

It was a very good opportunity, but I didn't seize it. If I had a little more foresight, my future path would have been broader.

Pity.

"You...what's the use of you! Who recruited you?!"

One of the deputy directors was very angry and left after saying something.

Young people feel wronged.

Captain Chen didn't say a word from beginning to end. Who can answer your questions?

That makes sense, but he overlooked one thing. If the other person doesn't say anything, you can actually take the initiative to ask and have a chat. Even if you can't get anything out of them, you can still report on your work and praise the Tieping Branch at the same time.

It's a bit difficult for a young man in his twenties.

Difficulty is not an excuse, it's just lack of ability. Leaders only look at results. If you are good at talking and can read people's expressions, you can definitely get in a conversation with Chen Yi.

The conference room door opens.

Chen Yi turned around and stood up.

"Captain Chen! Haha, it's our first time meeting!"

"Bureau Li."

Chen Yi shook hands with the other party politely.

After some business talk, everyone was about to sit down when Chen Yi stopped them and said with a smile, "It's my fault for not explaining it clearly to the people below. I came to Taicheng this time because I wanted to consult about a criminal case from Taicheng. I didn't expect to alarm all the deputy directors to come over. I'm really sorry. Blame me."

Hearing this, everyone stopped where they were, looked at each other, and finally all their eyes were fixed on a middle-aged man.

That was Yu Po, the deputy director of Tieping Branch in charge of criminal investigation.

Yu Po was caught off guard and unprepared, and just stood there in a daze.

The director was a smart man and immediately asked everyone else to leave.

He didn't believe the apology just now. The current situation could be avoided. It was just a matter of a phone call.

Chen Yi attacked without saying a word, which seemed like... he was launching an attack to call for punishment. The only thing missing from the four no's and two straights was two straights.

He was not afraid of Chen Yi, because the Criminal Investigation Corps could not control the local bureau chiefs, but he was afraid of the research team. Anyone with this title would feel intimidated.

Soon more than half of the meeting room was cleared, and several people took their seats.

"Captain Chen." The director smiled. "I heard that you went to Suicheng, Jiangcheng, and Yicheng for research. Why did you suddenly come to Taicheng?"

Chen Yi was still very polite and explained: "I just finished my investigation in Yicheng and was about to return to Yangcheng, but I heard about a case and came to see it on my way."

From Yicheng to Yangcheng, we did pass through Taicheng.

The director said "oh" and looked at Yu Po, who took over the conversation: "Captain Chen, what case is it?"

Chen Yi: "Murder case."

When he heard the word "murder case", Yu Po's eyes narrowed slightly.

In recent times, the Tieping Branch has only handled one homicide case, and the deceased was named Yan Lina.

The case has been concluded and the suspect was released without charge.

Everyone in the entire police station knew about this case. A homicide was a major criminal case and it had been a long time since such a case occurred.

"Is it...Yan Lina's case?" Yu Po asked tentatively.

Chen Yi nodded: "Yes."

Yu Po: "The case has already been judged."

Chen Yi: "I know. I want to take a look at the file."

Yu Po hesitated: "This..."

He looked at the Director.

The director was surprised: "Why are you looking at me? If Captain Chen wants to see it, just go ahead and check it out. This is not a confidential case. Besides, even if it is a confidential case, why would Captain Chen be so secretive?"

Yu Po was silent for a moment, then stood up and said, "Okay, I'll go get it right away."

After Yu Po left the meeting room, Director Li waited for a while and lowered his voice: "Captain Chen, how did you suddenly know about this case?"

Chen Yi chuckled: "It's just a coincidence."

Seeing that the other party was unwilling to speak, Director Li did not ask further questions and changed the question: "What is the situation of this case?"

Chen Yi: "I have to ask you, is there anything that can be reviewed?"

Director Li frowned slightly. "The investigation of murder cases is very strict, and it has gone through several court hearings. There should be no point for review, but..."

Chen Yi looked at him, waiting for what to come.

Director Li lowered his voice again: "The suspect is Yu Po's nephew."

Ok?
Chen Yi's smile faded. This piece of information was very crucial. Although it could not explain any substantive issues, he also believed that Yu Po was not so bold. But the facts were there after all and could not be ignored.

At least there is a motivation.

For the sake of his nephew, right? Chen Yi was still willing to trust his colleague.

It is impossible for the trust balance in people's hearts to be exactly 50% each. The closer it is, the more fair it is. If quantified, Chen Yi's trust in Po is more than 50%, and his trust in Liu Ping is less than 50%.

There is no other reason, it’s just that Yu Po is one of us, so there will definitely be some bias in our emotions.

If the person involved was Chen Yi's friend, the emotions would be more biased, but no matter how biased, facts should speak for themselves. As long as there is no favoritism, he is a qualified police officer.

Even Bao Zheng executed Bao Mian out of extreme distress.

"Aren't you trying to avoid suspicion?" Chen Yi asked.

Director Li: "Avoid suspicion. He was not involved at all. The case was handled by Sun Shuxiang, the captain of the Criminal Investigation Team, and the case closing report was signed by other deputy directors. They have nothing to do with the parties involved in this case."

Chen Yi: "How is the relationship between Sun Shuxiang and the signing deputy director and Yu Po?"

Mentors and apprentices, comrades-in-arms, etc. all need to be taken into consideration.

He is now presuming guilt, and is suspicious first, limiting communication to internal communication and not making it public.

It is very likely that Liu Ping has someone guiding her, and this expert would not appear out of nowhere.

Director Li waved his hand and said, "Captain Chen, you're overthinking. Sun Shuxiang has just been transferred here from somewhere else. Not to mention the deputy director who signed the document. He doesn't get along with Yu Po, so it's impossible for him to help privately. Let me be honest... I'm glad I didn't add insult to injury when Captain Chen is down."

He is not low in emotional intelligence. Young leaders like Chen Yi need to make some changes in the way they handle interpersonal relationships.

Young people like to say whatever they want.

Chen Yi was surprised. He didn't expect Director Li to say such a thing. It suddenly seemed funny and reminded him of a plot in a TV series.

In the costume drama, the crown prince and the popular prince confront each other. The criminal is the prince's man. The emperor says: If the prince is allowed to preside over the trial, many big things will become small things. If the crown prince is allowed to preside over the trial, as many people as possible will be implicated.

In the end, the case was handed over to someone else, and neither side was able to intervene.

This example is similar in essence.

What Director Li wanted to express was very simple. Since the deputy director had already signed, it was the truth and there was no point in reviewing it.

Because of this, the other party first asked how I knew about this case. The source of information is very important and can explain many problems.

Chen Yi said, "That is to say, the investigation and interrogation are normal, and the whole process can be checked. There are no blind spots."

Director Li: "Yes, Captain Chen can go through it again if he has any doubts."

Chen Yi: "Let's talk about it after reading the file."

Yu Po came back while they were chatting and put the file in his hand on the table. Just as Chen Yi was about to open it, he pressed the file box and said, "Captain Chen, do you want to re-examine this case?"

Chen Yi withdrew his hand, leaned back in his chair and looked at Yu Po. It was already taken, so there was no point in saying this.

It can be felt that Yu Po is somewhat dissatisfied. After all, he is the suspect. It is understandable. It would be the same for anyone.

"Director Yu, what do you want to express?" It was Zhuge Cong who spoke.

Cheng Hanjun also said: "It should be okay for the research team to review the case, right?"

Yu Po looked over and said, "It seems that the survey does not include Tai Cheng."

Chen Yi raised his hand to stop his subordinate and said, "I didn't say to re-investigate, I just wanted to take a look. Since Director Yu doesn't want to, then we can add another city to investigate. I will report to the provincial department and immediately start the investigation in Taicheng, focusing on the Taicheng Tieping Branch and the Municipal Bureau."

"When the time comes, please ask the bureau to move all the case files from recent years over here. The research team has enough manpower and will take their time to look through them."

"Of course, including this case."

"In addition to the case, we also need to study the results of other work. The task is arduous, and the research team will probably spend the New Year in Taicheng."

Director Li was dumbfounded. He immediately pushed the file over and turned to Ramada: "Captain Chen is my colleague. What's wrong with him reading it? Old Yu, are you out of your mind? Captain Chen is young and promising. Although you and I have more experience, we still need to learn with an open mind. There is a hierarchy in learning!"

He emphasized the word "young".

Yu Po came to his senses and felt that he had been foolish and spoke too hastily, and Director Li woke him up.

Chen Yinen holds a high position at this age and is entrusted with an important research task by the provincial department. How could he not have some background? If he just calls and says he wants to hang out in Taicheng, the provincial department will definitely not refuse.

After decades of being smart, this moment was a real misstep.

"I'm sorry, Captain Chen, I was just asking casually. I'm sorry for the misunderstanding." Yu Po quickly pushed the file again, closer to Chen Yi so that he could get it without having to stretch out his hand.

Chen Yi smiled and said, "You are too polite. We are all colleagues. Director Yu, please take a seat. I am very grateful for the respect you two give me."

Did you give it? Not completely.

Not everyone will give you face, especially when it comes to interests and emotions, he doesn't take it to heart.
