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

Chapter 582: Painter vs. Master of First Loan

With the help of Chen Yi, the Lake Island project resumed work quickly and everything was back on track.

Next year, Lanfan Hotel will open.

Chen Yi made a promise, saying that the Criminal Investigation Museum would definitely be built and that news would come before the end of the year. If someone deliberately suppressed it, he would go to the other party's office and stay there every day, fighting to the death.

Jiang Fanlei was very moved and thanked his good friend profusely. He deeply felt the joy of having someone above him, otherwise he would have gone bankrupt or lost a lot of money.

In the fourth quarter of this year, the Yangcheng Public Security System ushered in a relatively large position change, which included several deputy directors and captains of various brigades.

There were promotions and lateral transfers, but no demotions or dismissals.

Just as Fang Songping had revealed to Chen Yi before, Zhang Jingang went to the Political and Legal Affairs Commission, and Zhou Yebin from the branch bureau returned to the Municipal Bureau, taking over Zhang Jingang's position in charge of criminal investigation.

After being on leave for a few years, Zhou Yebin became the deputy director of the municipal bureau. His career was relatively smooth without any obstacles.

When Zhou Yebin was the detachment leader, he made numerous contributions and has worked diligently to solve important cases over the years. It is not surprising that he is in his current position and everyone is happy to see him.

Especially colleagues from the Criminal Investigation Brigade of the Municipal Bureau.

Zhou Yebin was their old leader. Now he has returned to his original unit. This is much better than parachuting in someone randomly. They know him well and are familiar with him.

People who are parachuted in have to start a few fires to establish their prestige.

Chen Yi has arranged a dinner tonight to entertain the entire Criminal Investigation Brigade in order to congratulate Zhou Yebin on his promotion. Zhang Jingang will also come to join them.

On the other hand, Zhou Yebin will also be present at the next banquet for Zhang Jingang.

Just after noon, Chen Yi had nothing to do so he came to the Hongzhong Branch to help Zhou Yebin pack his personal belongings.

"Where's Lao Lu? Why can't you see your vanguard general? Today is the day you are transferred."

The branch was very busy, and Zhou Yebin's office was even busier, but Chen Yi didn't see Lu Guangjun, so he asked.

His immediate superior was promoted to deputy director of the Municipal Bureau. As the captain of the Criminal Investigation Brigade, it was impossible for Lu Guangjun not to send it, unless there was an important personal matter or an urgent case.

"The police are on the way." Zhou Yebin was tidying up his desk and casually replied. He just happened to find two boxes of cigarettes and threw them to Chen Yi, "Take it."

Chen Yi grabbed the cigarette and hesitated for a long time, then threw it back: "I'm quitting."

He had promised Fang Shuyu to quit smoking for six months, but now the time is not up yet.

These two words shocked Zhou Yebin: "Quit? Really?"

Chen Yi waved his hand: "I can't help myself. Let's talk later. Why do you have so many messy things? Do you think the office is your home?"

Zhou Yebin said: "I am usually busy. The office is my home and my home is my office. The branch office is much busier than the city bureau."

Chen Yi was not joking about this matter. He nodded and said, "It is indeed hard work."

The branch's criminal investigation brigade is the main force in investigating criminal cases. There are not so many major cases throughout the year, but all criminal cases usually come to the branch first, so Zhou Yebin, who is in charge of criminal investigation, is definitely busy.

After almost finishing the cleaning, Zhou Yebin asked other colleagues to leave, and then he and Chen Yi sat in the office to bid their final farewell to the place where they had worked for several years.

I won’t be able to come back until I retire.

With the accumulated experience, he will be able to quickly get started when he arrives at the Municipal Bureau and become the next Zhang Jingang.

"Are you reluctant?" Chen Yi asked.

Zhou Yebin: "It's OK. What's your situation? Hasn't your term of office expired? There's no result from the provincial department yet? Will you stay or be transferred to another place? There's no news."

Chen Yi shrugged: "Nothing happened, and I didn't ask. Whatever, just don't fire me."

Hearing this, Zhou Yebin smiled and shook his head.

Chen Yi has done a great job in the past two years without any major mistakes. He will definitely be promoted, but no one knows where he will go.

Most likely, he will remain as deputy captain of the Criminal Investigation Corps, and may also serve as detachment captain.

He really hoped that Chen Yi would not leave the Criminal Investigation Brigade for the time being, because he was about to go to the Municipal Bureau, and he would feel more at ease with Chen Yi around.

He Shixin is indeed excellent, and Zhuo Yun and the others have also grown a lot following Chen Yi, but there is still a big gap in comparison. If they really encounter bizarre cases, they will have to give up.

As we were chatting, there was a commotion outside. A man and a woman were swearing at each other, and a police officer was shouting at them to stop them. It seemed like a fight had broken out.

He dared to fight even at the police station. He is really brave. He must have lost his rationality because of some dispute.

"Bring them all in!!"

This is Lu Guangjun's voice, back.

Chen Yi was curious: "What's the police situation?"

Zhou Yebin shook his head: "I don't know, I didn't have time to ask before, I will ask later.

See? The precinct is so busy that there are almost ten cases waiting for you every day. "

Ten cases is not an exaggeration, including those involving the Public Security Brigade and the Plainclothes Brigade, but they are generally small cases of fraud and occasionally a few fights, and the cases can be closed on the same day.

Although the case is small, it is still very troublesome to handle. Even if it is prostitution, it takes two days and one night to handle it, so it is very busy.

The sound gradually faded away, and then there was a knock on the door.

"Enter."

Lu Guangjun walked in, called Director Zhou and Director Chen, and gave a brief report on the case.

It was just a fight, and it happened in a hotel.

The person who called the police was the hotel manager.

According to the hotel manager, the man and woman who got into the fight came to the hotel a few hours ago and booked a hourly room, and then for some unknown reason they started fighting in the room.

The woman was very fierce and beat the man so hard that he ran away in panic. They beat him from inside the room to outside the room, from outside the room to the stairs, and from the stairs to the hotel lobby. Both sides' clothes were torn, but they still didn't stop.

The hotel security's advice and attempts to separate the men were useless, and the woman was also scratched on the face. In the end, the woman picked up the ashtray on the coffee table in the lobby and beat the man in the head, leaving his head covered in blood.

The man was also angry and used ruthless tactics, including elbowing and throwing. Both sides were injured and lay on the ground before the police arrived.

The onlookers heard words like "scammer" and realized the situation was serious, so the Criminal Investigation Brigade of the local police station and the nearby police station quickly dispatched police and brought the two men back.

Lu Guangjun said: "They are fine, they are just pretending, they only have superficial injuries. When I arrived, they immediately stood up and wanted to fight. I directly handcuffed them by force."

Chen Yi asked, "What happened just now? You were handcuffed and beaten at the police station?"

Lu Guangjun was helpless: "They were about to fight again after a disagreement, but no one touched each other and they were stopped."

Chen Yi thought it was funny: "What's the matter? Why are you so angry?"

Lu Guangjun: "It's not clear yet. I'll go and interrogate it first. Director Zhou, are you leaving now?"

Zhou Yebin: "Don't worry, you go ahead and do your work."

"Okay." Lu Guangjun left.

In the office, Chen Yi and Zhou Yebin started chatting. It was rare for a man and a woman to fight so fiercely. Although they had not seen what the woman looked like, based on Lu Guangjun's description, they could imagine that she must be very fierce.

Most women would not dare to cut open a man's head with an ashtray.

"Guess why they are fighting?" Since they had met, Zhou Yebin asked Chen Yi a question on the spot. Chen Yi refused: "I won't guess. You can guess it yourself. It's exhausting."

Zhou Yebin did not force it and chatted with Chen Yi while waiting.

Currently, he is still the deputy director of the branch.

The interrogation lasted longer than expected, and when Lu Guangjun returned, almost two hours had passed.

Chen Yi almost fell asleep.

"Zhou Bureau, Chen Branch."

Hearing the voice, Chen Yi opened his sleepy eyes and looked at Lu Guangjun who was preparing to report.

Zhou Yebin: "Have you finished the interrogation? Tell me."

Lu Guangjun looked a little strange, and said, "Director Zhou, that man might have some brain problems. He was quite normal at the beginning, but became very strange at the end of the interrogation, talking about ghosts and gods."

Zhou Yebin pointed to the seat next to Chen Yi and said, "Sit down and start from the beginning."

Lu Guangjun sat down.

Chen Yi beside him became more alert and listened with great interest.

Something wrong with your brain?

It's not surprising. If he had no problem with his brain, he wouldn't have fought with a woman in the hotel. He was not afraid of being embarrassed and didn't stop even when the police arrived.

As Lu Guangjun's voice sounded, the reason for the fight between the two men slowly became clear.

In fact, it is very simple. The two met through a dating app on the Internet. The man was attracted by the woman's appearance, and the woman was attracted by the man's financial resources. After chatting for a while, they made an appointment to get a room. This kind of thing is not uncommon.

What the man didn't expect was that the woman was not good-looking at all, and was not a otaku killer at all. The powder on her face was thicker than the wall. The man who realized something was wrong forcibly removed her makeup, and the woman fainted on the spot.

Ox.

It's so damn ugly. It's said that makeup is nowadays a head-changing technique. They look like two completely different people.

This is not over yet.

Women also discovered that men had no money in their pockets, the car was rented, and the money was borrowed, and his purpose was to play around with all kinds of women.

Repayment? No chance of that happening. The bank could sue you at worst. Just make yourself comfortable first.

So, the two strange flowers collided with each other, and with the mutual verbal insults, neither of them could bear it and started fighting, wishing to strangle the other to death.

Listening to Lu Guangjun's words, Zhou Yebin touched his forehead speechlessly.

What is this all about? Are you bored? Fortunately, it was in a crowded place, otherwise someone might have died.

Chen Yi was also amused: "A painter versus a loan master, quite interesting."

Lu Guangjun reacted for a while and gave a thumbs up: "Chen Zhi hit the nail on the head. The description is very appropriate. That's it."

Zhou Yebin was still speechless and was too lazy to continue asking.

Chen Yi was curious about what happened next: "Lao Lu, you just said that the man has a problem with his brain, what do you mean?"

Lu Guangjun explained: "The man's name is Tan Dong. At the end of the interrogation, I lectured him. Isn't it crazy to take out loans to pick up girls? He said he was sick to begin with and was frightened by a ghost.

I asked him where the ghosts were, and he said he had seen them in a small town. Not only had he seen ghosts in the town, but he had also been robbed. He had to run away desperately, and the police were not able to find anything.

Chen Yi was surprised: "If you know you are sick, then you are not sick, right? It's like a drunk person saying he is not drunk. Those who say they are drunk are just pretending."

Lu Guangjun: "That's true, but he's really weird, which is not normal."

Chen Yi: "Which town?"

Lu Guangjun: "I have never heard of Shidu Town, and I can't find it on the map. Is this crazy?"

Chen Yi took out his phone and operated it for a while, then handed it to Lu Guangjun: "It's not made up, it existed before."

"Oh?" Lu Guangjun took the phone and found that he could indeed find the Shidu town on the Internet, but it had been erased from the map.

The article description was very long, and he scrolled through it slowly and carefully.

The town of Shidu did exist in Qingzhou.

Not only does it exist, it was also quite prosperous back then, reaching the size of a county-level city. Unfortunately, it has now become a "ghost town."

Ghost town means: no one's land.

Shidu Town is located in a remote and desolate environment and was originally uninhabited. However, the more desolate the place, the more likely it is to find treasures. Fortunately, there is one in Shidu Town.

This treasure is oil.

About eighty years ago, a geological survey team discovered oil resources in the small town of Shidu. It was also from that year that the small town of Shidu underwent earth-shaking changes.

With the arrival of the drilling team, the originally deserted town gradually became full of life. Two months later, oil gushed out and shocked the whole country. In that era when oil was urgently needed, the significance of Shidu Town can be imagined.

Since then, Shidu Town has ushered in its own glory.

From the drilling team to the workers, and from the workers to their families, as time went by and the population increased, Shidu Town gradually prospered, people got married and had children, various convenient facilities were built, supermarkets, schools, hospitals, and cinemas sprang up, and the virtuous circle attracted more people.

Little Dongli in the northwest.

These five words were once the nickname of the small town of Shidu, which shows how prosperous it was.

More than ten years later, Shidu Town changed from a town to a county, and from a county to a county-level city, and Shidu Town was therefore renamed Shidu City.

However, the rise based on a single resource was ultimately based on an unstable foundation. With the decline and end of oil extraction, the country's oil development shifted, workers migrated and the population was lost. In just five years, Ishiwatari City returned to its desolate state.

The level also changed from Shidu City to Shidu County, and from Shidu County back to Shidu Town.

After a few years, the town of Shidu was completely deserted, with no intact houses left except for the ruins.

It's like a worn-out shoe.

This is the short-lived town of Shidu.

The only people who can still remember that desolate place are travel enthusiasts, who jokingly call it a ghost town and label it as a historical relic.

"It turns out you didn't lie." Lu Guangjun returned the phone to Chen Yi.

Chen Yi said: "This kind of place usually has a folk custom label. With more people coming to explore, there will always be a few bored people. That guy must have been scared by a prank. It's a ghost town, so the name is just like it."

Zhou Yebin interrupted their conversation: "Don't worry about whether it's a ghost town or not, close the case quickly. This is my last case in the police station."

In serious cases of mutual fighting, both parties will be held criminally responsible. If they can forgive each other, it will be easier to deal with, but the final assessment will depend on the extent of the injuries.

The man’s mental problem shouldn’t be serious. He’s normal when taking out a loan, and when picking up girls. But he becomes abnormal in the interrogation room?

Saying that you are sick is to evade responsibility.

The three people present were all experienced criminal police and had seen everything.
