Restarting life by going to the countryside to support medical work

Chapter 157 A sudden whim
Tonight is destined to be another sleepless night for many people.

For example, Lao Xu, Su Xiaotong, and Deputy Director Zhong who had already returned home.

He must be asked to come this time, and if necessary, the new director may have to be asked to come forward.

This arrest operation involved several provinces and cities, not just Beijing.

Thanks to this era of poor communication, otherwise if these provinces and cities wanted to catch all those people in one fell swoop, they would have to coordinate a unified time of action.

Otherwise, if the action is taken here but not over there yet, the people over there will definitely run away after getting the news, and it will be difficult to catch them once they run away.

Now that communications are poor, there is no need to worry too much about this problem. Even if Beijing takes action tonight and other provinces and cities start tomorrow, people over there generally won't receive any news.

Unless you happen to catch someone's routine contact, that would be too mean.

Even so, Lao Xu's idea is to wait until everything is coordinated with other provinces and cities before taking unified action. Not to mention the exact same time, but at least on the same day, so that the insurance factor can be higher.

After having a simple meal in the cafeteria, Li Yancheng prepared to go back first. He had accompanied the interrogation for a whole day today. In the basement without sunlight, he felt that his breathing was a little difficult. After coming out, he felt dizzy and heavy all the time, and just wanted to go home and sleep.

"You really don't need me to take you back?"

Outside the gate, Su Xiaotong asked again with some concern, the person who wanted to kill Li Yancheng has not been caught yet.

"No, go back and do your thing. I have a gun with me."

These days, Li Yancheng's gun was always loaded in the warehouse.

It is much more convenient to put it in the warehouse than to wear it on his body. He can get the gun in his hand in an instant without worrying about being seen, which is much faster than any other way to draw a gun.

Of course, if you encounter something unexpected, there is nothing you can do. In that case, it doesn’t matter whether anyone sends it to you or not.

"By the way, Yan Cheng..."

Just as Li Yancheng had turned around and was about to leave, Su Xiaotong suddenly called him again.

"Is there anything else?"

Su Xiaotong stepped forward and asked softly, "If...if the final approval is granted, all the remnants of the Chen family must be arrested, do you want to do it yourself?"

If they really wanted to capture other members of the Chen family, they would have to go to Hong Kong Island, and Su Xiaotong would definitely be one of the candidates because he had been there three times.

There would definitely not be many people going there, no more than three at most. Normally, it would be impossible to let Li Yancheng go through.

First of all, he was not a front-line worker, and secondly, he had no experience in arrest work at all.

But if Su Xiaotong made a suggestion, that would be another matter, and the leader would definitely give it full consideration.

After all, going there should focus on him, a relatively familiar person.

Hearing this, Li Yancheng's eyes lit up: "Will the higher-ups agree to let me go?"

"It all depends on people."

"Then I'd like to thank you first."

Li Yancheng smiled and stretched out his right hand.

Su Xiaotong looked down, then smiled and reached out to hold that hand.

"Don't be too happy too soon. We still don't know whether the higher-ups will agree to arrest them."

"I understand. Just your words are enough to make me happy."

"Haha, okay, go back quickly, have a good rest, and be careful on the road."

"Well, the same goes for you. Rest when you have time. Your health is the capital of the revolution."

Letting go of his hand, Li Yancheng nodded slightly and walked towards home.

Su Xiaotong stood there and watched the figure disappear around the corner of the street. Then he took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it for himself, and turned and walked into the yard.

"Drip..."

I had just taken two steps when I heard the sound of a car engine and a horn behind me.

A jeep drove over from the direction Li Yancheng had just walked.

Seeing the car, Su Xiaotong stopped and waited until the car stopped before taking two steps forward and opening the passenger door.

The person who got out of the car was the new director Shen Wei, who had just replaced Director Fang.

The new director had previously been doing empty political work and had no military or police experience. In his own words, he was very reluctant to come here.

So the first thing he did after taking office was to clarify the division of labor among team members.

Director Zhong, as the first deputy director in charge of three operations departments, and another deputy director Guan Jun in charge of the security department, are still in charge of the front-line work. They can have full control over case matters and do not need to report everything.

He, two other deputy directors, and the director sent by the committee were responsible for the second-line work, and everyone worked together.

The director who was assigned to the Social Affairs Bureau was the most aggrieved.

All the directors of other units are the real top leaders of their units, except him. He cannot even make a sound if he farts in the bureau’s office building, let alone intervene in cases.

After much effort, he finally managed to win over a team leader from the Security Department to work for him, but before he could do anything, he was arrested by a police station.

Seeing that he was still in prison half a month later, he contacted Lao Xu that day hoping that they would release him, but the other party ignored him.

The director was so depressed that he wanted to bang his head against the wall.

It’s not that he didn’t think about getting support from higher-ups, but the people above him aren’t stupid either. What does the Social Affairs Bureau do?

The professional work here is really not something that most people can do. As long as you are someone who works diligently and conscientiously, they don't want to offend you, let alone mess up the unit.

No one wants to take over a mess.

Therefore, the director could only hide in the corner of the office building, doing nothing but watching others stir up trouble.

"Hello, Director!"

"Well, Comrade Xiaotong, you haven't gotten off work yet at this time. Thank you for your hard work."

"Thank you for your concern, Director."

"I just heard Lao Zhong say on the phone that Chen Guangyao has made a breakthrough in the case?"

"It can be said that through interrogation, we have now gained a preliminary understanding of the organization's funding channels."

Director Shen, who was about to step in, paused slightly when he heard this. He turned to look at Su Xiaotong with shining eyes, as if he wanted to confirm whether what he heard was true.

Even if the new director doesn't know how to solve cases, he understands that money is very important to any organization.

If we can catch the person on this line, even if we can't catch the mastermind behind the scenes for the time being, it is equivalent to cutting off his dominant hand.

It will make future actions of this organization more difficult and may even lead to internal strife.

"Comrade Xiaotong, as far as I remember, Chen Guangyao has been arrested for about a year, and he has confessed a lot during this period, but why didn't they find this important clue after such a long time?"

"Uh..." Su Xiaotong didn't know how to answer this question. Should he put the blame on the Second Division? That seemed a bit unkind.

“Director, our work is not solid enough. Although we have considered where the funds for this organization’s activities came from, we didn’t pay much attention to it because we had no relevant clues.

Every time they interrogated them, they were targeting their superiors and subordinates, which was the wrong direction.”

Director Shen waved his hand: "Comrade Xiaotong, I'm not asking this to hold anyone responsible.

I am just a little puzzled. If no one has noticed this problem in the past year, why did they think of it again today? And why did they find it out in the first trial?

Chen Guangyao is not someone who would give in so easily, right? Otherwise, it wouldn’t have taken so long.”

"Oh, Comrade Li Yancheng suddenly came up with this idea. After obtaining the consent of our director, he went over to trick Chen Guangyao. Unexpectedly, it worked."

"Li Yancheng? Li Yancheng!"

Hearing this name, Director Shen repeated it twice in a low voice, nodded and said, "I heard Lao Zhong mention this comrade. He is a doctor, right?"

"Yes, he is a former comrade of our director. We have always been short of doctors in one of our clinics, so whenever there is something, we have to temporarily transfer one from the Public Security Hospital, which is very troublesome.

Last year, when our director was transferred here and learned about this situation, he seconded Comrade Li Yancheng from the First Hospital of Chengdong District. At the beginning of this year, he was officially transferred here with both organizational and personnel relations. "

"Organizational relationship? Are you saying that Comrade Li Yancheng is a member of the organization?"

"Yes, he joined the army after graduating from technical secondary school. He was an officer right after he arrived and had already joined the organization while in the army."

"Not bad, not bad." Director Shen nodded with satisfaction and asked, "Comrade Li Yancheng is not very old, right?"

"I'm twenty-seven this year."

"You are young and promising. You are also filial to your comrades. The future belongs to you. Work hard."

“Thank you for the encouragement.”

"Come on, take me in. Lao Zhong said on the phone that there is some work that needs my coordination." "Director, please come this way." Su Xiaotong raised his arm and gestured, then explained.

"You are needed to coordinate. The funding channels of that organization are extremely large, involving multiple provinces and cities, and hundreds of people. If you want to catch them all in one fell swoop, you must communicate and coordinate with those cities. Everyone should work together as much as possible to eradicate the evil."

"I see. No problem. I will do my best wherever you need me to help."

……

"Xiao Yuan, those two people just now and the one you met that night, don't they leave any room for imagination?"

At the same time, in a jeep driving from Dianhai to the east of the city, Jin Zhihai, who was sitting in the passenger seat, half turned around and looked at Xiao Yuan sitting in the back seat, and asked again with some hopelessness.

He hadn't been home for three days. He took Xiao Yuan to various police stations in the city to identify the person. He met many people, but still couldn't find the person they were looking for. This was related to the personal safety of his good brother, and he was already extremely anxious.

Xiao Yuan sat in the back row and carefully recalled the appearance of the two people he had just seen in his mind. He kept comparing them with the guy selling sweet potatoes he saw that night. After a while, he slowly shook his head.

"Zhi Hai, I'm sure it's not him. The man I saw that night had hands covered in dirt and looked a little dirty, but he definitely didn't have those cracks.

The cracks on the hands and calluses on the palms of those two people just now are obviously caused by doing manual labor frequently. "

"Damn, this is really weird, could that person just disappear out of thin air?" Jin Zhihai cursed angrily.

There were a total of five witnesses who identified the body separately because they were worried that if they identified the body together, it would affect each other.

If we operate like this now, theoretically speaking, it is unlikely that all five people will admit their mistakes.

But after identifying so many people, there was still no movement. There was only one possibility: they had gone in the wrong direction.

Jin Zhihai, who was looking out the window, also thought of this question.

That person was so cautious in what he did, how could he not think that someone would definitely see him and report the situation to the police.

Since he can think of it, there must be a way to deal with it.

Then...his height, body shape and voice are probably deliberately disguised in order to divert attention.

Who knows where this guy is hiding right now, enjoying the fun.

The question is, even if we can think of this, how can we break the deadlock?

What kind of person could fake being that height?

It probably won't work for people taller than that. Short people can artificially increase their height, but if you're tall, you can't just saw off your own legs.

As for body shape, just dress a little more bulky.

As he was thinking, Jin Zhihai found that he had hit a dead end. If that was the case, there would be so many people who met the requirements that there would be no way to check them.

Not to mention men, even women could be pretending.

Hmm? Woman?

"Xiao Yuan, is it possible that the person you saw in the market that night was a woman?"

"What?" Xiao Yuan in the back row thought he had misheard and his eyes widened.

The investigator from the Second Criminal Investigation Division sitting next to him and the driver who was driving the car also looked incredulous.

"Is it possible that this is a woman in disguise?"

"Female..." Xiao Yuan was about to say it was impossible, but he swallowed the words back.

The hands he saw that night appeared in his mind again. They were white and tender. If he only looked at the hands, it would really be possible.

But in a moment he thought of Li Yancheng's hands, which were also white and tender, with long fingers and each nail trimmed very neatly.

"Zhi Hai, I really can't say anything about this. If you just look at his hands, I can only say it's possible, because I rarely see a man with hands like that.

But Dacheng’s hands are definitely more beautiful than those two. I really can’t say for sure.”

call……

Jin Zhihai let out a long sigh and sat up straight with some helplessness.

He just said that just now. It is impossible for the department to adjust the direction of investigation because of his sudden whim, because there is no way to investigate at all.

If it really was a woman in disguise, then the scope would be too large. At least 90 percent of women in Beijing would meet that condition.

If he dared to report to the team leader that the scope of the investigation should be expanded to include women, the team leader would definitely chop him up and feed him to pigs.

But it’s not a good idea to continue like this now.

Zhu Yongyang's younger brothers and sisters are still living in the single dormitory behind their place. They can't keep living like this forever.

And my good brother is always worried when he goes to and from get off work every day. If this continues, something bad will happen.

More importantly, will that group of people continue to use various methods to threaten others? Zhu Yongyang dared to call the police because he has been in society for so many years and knows what can and cannot be done. What if it were someone else?
……

Li Yancheng was also thinking about this problem again.

After returning to the yard, he brought Xiao Pengpeng from Jin's house to his side.

Jin Zhihai hasn't been home for a few days. Whenever he comes back, he will bring the child over so that Xing Lihua can have a rest.

Although her mother is still alive, the old lady is not young anymore. She takes care of the children all day and goes to bed at around 8 o'clock in the evening.

Xing Lihua works during the day and takes care of the children when she gets home from get off work in the afternoon. It's okay when Jin Zhihai is around, but she's tired when he's not around these few days.

So Li Yancheng lent a hand whenever he could, and it just so happened that the child got along well with him and was not shy about strangers.

At this moment, he was holding the little guy who had just eaten and was ready to go to sleep. He hummed a bunch of random songs to him and coaxed him to sleep, all the while thinking about his own things in his head.

"Brother Dacheng, what is that you are humming?"

Ningning was also in this room, lying on the table and writing the homework assigned to her seriously.

The faint tune hummed by Li Yancheng aroused Ningning's interest, who had never heard it before. She put down her pen, raised her head and asked curiously.

"Ah? Sorry to bother you. I won't hum anymore."

Li Yancheng, who was thinking about a problem, was awakened by Ningning's sudden voice. He didn't hear clearly what the other person asked at all. He just thought that his voice was too loud and affected his studies, so he spoke.

"I'm not disturbing you. I'm asking what you're humming, Dacheng. I've never heard it before."

What are you humming?
Li Yancheng looked seriously confused. He was thinking about a problem just now and didn't pay attention to what he was humming. Now that Ningning asked him, he finally recalled it.

"The young monk went down the mountain to beg for alms. The old monk told him that the women down the mountain are tigers, and he must avoid them if he meets one..."

"Puchi...hahahaha..." Ningning didn't have any reaction when just listening to the tune. She was just a little curious because she had never heard it before.

Now that Li Yancheng sang the lyrics, the girl burst into laughter.

Her smile was not a big deal, but it frightened the already dazed little Pengpeng so much that he shivered and wanted to cry with his mouth wide open. Li Yancheng hurriedly held him in his arms for a long time before the little guy fell asleep again.

Seeing that Xiao Pengpeng fell asleep again, Ningning, who had covered her mouth, let go and stuck out her tongue.

"Brother Dacheng, what is that song you are singing? I have never heard of it before. And how can a woman become a tiger?"

"I was just humming nonsense, you should study hard."

"Huh, you never hummed a song for me when I was a kid."

I go……

Looking at Ningning's suddenly pouting lips and the revealing look on her face, the corners of Li Yancheng's mouth twitched a few times.

This girl, it’s not a big deal, why is she jealous of her own nephew?
I wasn't here when you were a kid, so it's amazing that the guy could hum this song for you.

"I can't sing, how can I sing for you?"

"That's what you just sang."

"That's just some random nonsense. I don't even know what it is."

"I don't care, Dacheng brother, you have to sing for me."

"Uh... didn't I just sing it for you? I only know that one line."

"Hmph, Brother Dacheng, just wait. I don't want to play with you anymore."

The girl rolled her eyes in hatred, picked up the pen again and started studying, humming all the time.

That means I'm angry.

Li Yancheng was so amused that he wanted to laugh but he didn't dare to laugh out loud, for fear of getting himself into more trouble.
