Restarting life by going to the countryside to support medical work

Chapter 361 Leaving?

It was already past ten o'clock. Lao Xu had just walked slowly into the office to take a break when he heard the sound of the front door opening, followed by the sound of a car engine. He turned around and walked out of the office curiously to see who it was.

As far as he remembered, the car would not be coming back tonight.

As soon as I came to the corridor and looked into the yard, a car with its headlights on drove in, turned into the yard and stopped with a squeak, followed by a familiar voice coming from below.

"Director"

"Yan Cheng?"

Lao Xu never thought that the person coming here would be Li Yancheng. What was this guy doing here in the middle of the night?
"I'm coming down."

After saying hello, Lao Xu turned and walked towards the stairwell.

When he came out of the two-story building, Li Yancheng was already standing under the car.

"Is there something wrong, Yancheng? Why are you here at this time?"

"It's something."

"Wait a moment"

After taking the cigarette handed to him by Li Yancheng, Lao Xu suddenly asked to stop, then leaned his head and sniffed twice, then raised his head and asked in surprise.

"Did you just fire a gun? There's a strong smell of gunpowder."

“Can you smell this?”

Now it was Li Yancheng's turn to be surprised. He was born in the Year of the Dog, so he only fired a few shots.

"I was in the army before and I became very sensitive to this smell. I cannot stand other smells. What's wrong with me, Yancheng?"

Lao Xu explained lightly, and then immediately asked very seriously.

"Someone is trying to kill me."

"What did you say? Who? Did you run away?"

"I didn't run away. The people who wanted to kill me were caught. They are in the car. There are two of them. They are both unconscious now."

Li Yancheng raised his thumb and gestured to the car behind him.

Lao Xu walked over and opened the back door of the car, and saw two middle-aged men staggering in the back seat.

"What do they do?"

"I don't know. We haven't tried them yet." Li Yancheng shook his head and continued, "We didn't shoot them just now. My brother Jin Zhihai and I went to arrest these two people. It was relatively easy. We basically didn't encounter any resistance. Later, someone suddenly came and killed them."

"Kill...silence him!" Lao Xu quickly realized what was going on and raised his eyebrows. It seemed that this was a big deal.

"It should be. Zhihai and I analyzed that these two people are probably responsible for doing dirty work for someone."

Next, Li Yancheng recounted in detail how he discovered the incident, starting from when he met the tall and thin Niu Weiping in the alley.

When he heard that one of the two arrested people did not even trust the police and took the initiative to ask to be taken to the Social Affairs Bureau, Lao Xu knew that this matter was no longer a big deal.

After listening to this, he frowned and thought for a while, then waved his hand and said, "Take them to the backyard first, I'll call the bureau and tell them."

"Okay." Li Yancheng nodded, turned around, opened the car door and sat in the driver's seat.

Watching the car drive into the central courtyard, Lao Xu walked towards the communications duty room on the first floor of the office building. Before entering the door, he raised his hand and took another puff of the cigarette, then threw the cigarette butt outside and pushed the door open and walked in.

The leader on duty in the bureau today happened to be Director Zhong. He would have been worried if it was any other bureau leader, even if it was Director Guan who was about to take over as executive deputy director.

The adjustment of the bureau's leadership has basically been settled. It goes without saying that Director Shen will leave and Director Zhong will take over. This is a foregone conclusion. What everyone is mainly concerned about is the changes in other deputy positions.

As soon as the headquarters meeting ended the day before yesterday, the news came out that Director Guan took over the position of executive deputy left by Director Zhong after he was promoted to director, the office director Jiang Donghai was promoted to deputy director, and the former director of logistics Lu Chuan was promoted to member of the bureau team and office director.

Tang Aijun, director of the Security Department, and Zhou Weifeng, director of the Third Department, were not able to move as they wished this time, which made the two directors very depressed.

But that's how it is. It's impossible to satisfy everyone.

And not transferring anyone in from outside is the best outcome.

"Director, it's me, Guishan."

Director Shen was officially removed from his post as director of the Social Affairs Bureau yesterday. Accompanied by relevant leaders of the Organization Department, he went to his new unit to take up his new post. Director Zhong is temporarily in charge of the work.

The reason why he has not been officially appointed is that the leaders of the headquarters, Mr. Wang and Mr. Fang, left Beijing yesterday on official business. However, although he has not been officially appointed, his title has changed.

"Guishan, what happened that made you call so late?"

"That's the director. Someone wants to assassinate Comrade Yan Cheng..."

Lao Xu briefly explained what happened on the phone.

The person on the other end of the phone was silent for a while before speaking, "I see, Guishan, this is a serious matter. Please don't try those two people for now. I will contact the comrades from the Supervisory Committee of the State Council and go over together. We will try them after we arrive."

"Yes"

……

At around eleven o'clock that night, Director Zhong, along with Deputy Director Lu Mingyu, who was on duty at the Security Department today, and Director Jiang of the Supervisory Committee and his two subordinates, rushed to a place.

Deputy Director Lu Mingyu of the Security Department is the only female leader of a frontline department in the Social Affairs Bureau. She is in her early forties and is a cadre transferred from the headquarters. She just came here before the National Day last year.

In units like the Social Affairs Bureau, many of the frontline jobs for female comrades are not so much a question of whether they are dangerous or not, but rather a question of being inconvenient.

Take business trips as an example. When a few men go out together, they can do whatever they want. They can sleep on a big bunk bed at night, or they can share a room with any number of people.

But if we want a female comrade, we have to open a new room for her. We can't let her squeeze into one room with a few grown men.

Even if they themselves don't care, their families won't.

If some investigative work did not really require female comrades to come forward, the front-line departments of the Social Affairs Bureau would rather have all men, mainly because they are hardworking and the leaders can use them with confidence.

Just like when Director Zhong asked the on-duty leader of the Security Department to accompany him to a place, he felt a little regretful after finding out that it was Lu Mingyu on duty. He wanted to ask her to go back, but was worried that his subordinates would think too much, so he could only bring her here helplessly.

This was the first time that Lu Mingyu had followed her leader out since coming down from the headquarters, and it was obvious that there was an emergency. She had been working in the front-line department for almost four months and had not yet come into contact with a specific case, which inevitably made her a little excited.

After arriving at the first department, she found out that Director Zhong had also invited the leader of the Supervisory Commission. When she listened to the youngest section chief of the entire department reporting the details of the case to the leader in the conference room, she realized why the people from the Supervisory Commission were also invited.

No matter what, since one of their own was assassinated, the case would definitely be handed over to the Security Department in the end, which made her expectations even higher.

"Director Jiang, these are the details. Let's meet those two people first, because some cadres may be involved, and we haven't started the interrogation yet."

After Li Yancheng finished his report, Director Zhong turned around and spoke to Director Jiang, the Supervisory Committee member sitting next to him.

"it is good"

Director Jiang knew very well that what Director Zhong said was still a bit conservative. How could this be possible? It was absolutely certain that he would be involved.

He nodded with a headache, hoping that there wouldn't be any big bombs going off later, otherwise he was worried that he wouldn't be able to bear it.

Seeing him nod, Director Zhong stood up. Following the leader, several other people also stood up and walked out of the meeting room towards the backyard.

Tian Sanbao and Niu Weiping had been separated and taken to two interrogation rooms and fixed on the special chair, but both of them were still unconscious.

The group first came to the room where Lao Tian was imprisoned. After entering, Li Yancheng walked straight up to Lao Tian and pressed his hand on his neck several times.

As he withdrew his hand, Old Tian, ​​who had his head drooped, moved. By the time Director Zhong and the others sat down, Old Tian had already woken up.

When Lao Tian saw the strangers sitting opposite him, a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes. When he turned around and saw Li Yancheng standing next to him, he completely sobered up.

"Chief Li"

"Old Tian, ​​this is our Social Affairs Bureau's Operations Division 1. You should know this place, Ya'er Hutong."

"I know, I know." When Lao Tian heard that he was taken to the Social Affairs Bureau, he was obviously relieved.

"Don't worry, Chief Li. I will cooperate and tell you everything I know."

"Okay." Li Yancheng reached out and patted Lao Tian on the shoulder, then said, "First, what's your full name?"

"My name is Tian Sanbao"

"What mission did you receive?"

"The mission is to get rid of you, Section Chief Li, before this year's Spring Festival. The person who will carry out this mission is Lao Niu, oh, Niu Weiping.

The task list I received also included some of your information and photos, Chief Li. The photo has been destroyed by Lao Niu and it looks like it was taken without your knowledge.

Besides, it wasn't cold at that time, so you only needed to wear a coat. The information also specifically stated that you could not be captured alive if the mission failed, because you...it said you had a special ability."

"You mean, the one who took action was Niu Weiping, and you were just a messenger, right?"

"Yes, for this kind of clearing mission, I am only responsible for passing on the message. Niu Weiping will do the work. At most, I will help him prepare some things." "Then who gave you the mission?"

"I don't know." As soon as he said this, Lao Tian saw Li Yancheng frowning and hurriedly explained.

"Chief Li, I'm not lying to you. I really don't know who gave me the task. Let me put it this way. Lao Niu and I both gave... gave..."

At this point, Lao Tian turned his head and glanced at the people sitting behind the table. After hesitating for a moment, he gritted his teeth and said, "If he is unkind, don't blame me for being unjust.

Chief Li, Lao Niu, I, and the guy surnamed Song who was just beaten to death, we are all from the same family named Tan Guangming. "

"Who are you talking about? Tan Guangming?"

When Director Jiang from the Supervisory Committee heard the name uttered by Lao Tian, ​​he stood up immediately.

"right"

"The deputy director of the committee in Beijing, Tan Guangming?" Director Jiang continued to ask. He really hoped that this was just a duplicate name.

"Yes, it's him." Old Tian nodded heavily.

After receiving a positive answer, Director Jiang's expression returned to its calm state and he sat back in his chair.

Seeing that he was silent, Li Yancheng looked at Lao Tian and asked, "Since you said that you are the man surnamed Tan, why do you say that you don't know who sent you this mission?"

"It's like this, Section Chief Li. My identity is not public, and I usually don't have direct contact with Tan Guangming. I only contact one of his secretaries, whose name is Du Tao.

But we didn't meet in person, but he designated a mailbox, and if he needed me to do anything, he would write the task on a piece of paper in the form of a code word and put it in the mailbox.
In this way, even if someone gets the letter he put there, he doesn't have to worry about being exposed. I will go to the mailbox to check every day.

I picked up the letter with this task in it from the mailbox on January 16th. It looked exactly the same as the previous letters that assigned tasks, so I didn't pay much attention to it. I contacted Lao Niu and told him the task.

But I don't know if the information provided in the letter was wrong. These days Lao Niu has been waiting for you on the way to and from get off work every day, and he would also hang around the door of your unit, but except for the day when he ran into you when he entered the alley where you live to scout the place, he has never seen you again.

There are only ten days left before the Chinese New Year, and he was worried that he would not be able to complete the task on time, so he asked me to ask Du Tao if his work had been adjusted or something.

When you saw me just now, I had just come back from meeting with Du Tao. After meeting him, I realized that he didn't know about this task at all, and Tan Guangming didn't know about it either.

In other words, the email address that Du Tao and I used to communicate and the secret code we agreed upon were known to others, and someone used this to make us get rid of you.

Chief Li, these are what Du Tao said, so I don't know whether they were the ones who gave us the task of getting rid of you. But he did ask us to stop just now, but I didn't expect that he would send people over to get rid of me and Lao Niu right after that.

If it weren't for you and your colleague, I don't know if Lao Niu would have died, but I would have definitely died."

Thinking of what happened just now, Old Tian was still frightened. Two bullets were fired at him in succession. If it weren't for Section Chief Li's quick reaction, pulling him down and kicking him aside, he might have been dragged into the morgue by now.

What he said at the end stunned everyone present. The problem now seemed more complicated. Of course, it was also possible that Tan Guangming directed and acted out the whole thing himself.

"Tian Sanbao, do you have any direct evidence of Tan Guangming's crime? For example, did he personally assign you a task, or did he write a letter giving you an order?"

Director Jiang is most concerned about Tan Guangming now. He does not have that much power to arrest him directly.

If there is direct evidence, he can report it to his superiors. As long as the evidence is sufficient, he can definitely be caught.

If he only relied on what Tian Sanbao said, he could report it to his superiors, but it was easy to imagine that even if he did, his report would fall on deaf ears.

"Uh... no." Old Tian shook his head. "Tan Guangming is very cautious and never contacts me directly. He always contacts me through Du Tao. Besides, the letter instructing me on the task is useless. The words on it were cut from newspapers and pasted onto the letter paper."

Director Jiang frowned. It would be difficult without direct evidence. Should we arrest the secretary Du Tao?
Let's arrest him first. Maybe this secretary has evidence of Tan Guangming's crime. Even if he doesn't, it doesn't matter. After all, he is a direct witness.

The men they sent out to deal with the man surnamed Tian and the man surnamed Niu have been shot dead. I think it won't be long before they receive the news and know that the matter has been exposed, and there may be many changes.

Thinking of this, Director Jiang turned to Director Zhong who was sitting next to him and whispered, "Director Yuanzhu, I'd like to trouble you to send some people to help us control the secretary Du Tao first. After we catch him, we'll bring him here for interrogation and custody."

This work should have been done with the assistance of the public security, but Tan Guangming's identity was there, and Director Jiang was also worried that there would be obstacles and other things happening.

Director Zhong nodded without even thinking: "No problem."

If this matter did not involve people from the Social Affairs Bureau, Director Zhong would definitely not agree to send people to assist the Supervisory Committee in arresting people. This is beyond their scope of work. Without the order from the headquarters or the Security Committee, he would not dare to do so even if he is a member of the headquarters team.

"Guishan, send a few people and ask Director Mingyu to bring his comrades from the Supervisory Committee to assist them in their work."

"Yes"

"Yes"

Both Xu Guishan and Lu Mingyu stood up.

"Director Mingyu, once we have the person under control, bring him back and detain him in your interrogation room."

"Yes"

Seeing that Director Zhong had already made arrangements, Director Jiang turned around and gave a few instructions to the subordinates sitting behind him, then turned around and looked at Lao Tian and said, "Do you know the home address of Du Tao?"

"I know, I know, it's in the east of the city..."

The arresting personnel left and the interrogation here was suspended. Director Zhong took Director Jiang to the communications duty room in the front yard to make a phone call. This matter had to be reported to the higher authorities first.

In the current situation, whether we should control Tan Guangming first or just leave him there and ignore him requires the relevant leaders to make a decision.

After the interrogation was suspended, Li Yancheng also walked out of the interrogation room. Just as he lit a cigarette, Lao Xu came over.

"Yancheng, do you know Tan Guangming?"

"I've never even heard of it."

"What do you think about this incident?"

"There is no doubt that those who want to get rid of me are probably afraid of my interrogation method."

"Yes, we can see it from the fact that he specifically mentioned this in the letter when he gave the task." Lao Xu nodded.

"That is, this person is either someone I have offended in a previous case, or someone I have arrested before, or he has committed a crime and knows that I have the ability to do so, so he is taking preemptive action to prevent any future consequences.

Moreover, this person must be quite powerful, otherwise he would not have been able to contact the people around Tan Guangming. He was able to get such a secret contact method, so it must have been leaked by someone very close to Tan Guangming.

Also, this person must have a grudge against Tan Guangming. He wanted us to focus our attention on the person with the surname Tan, so he killed two birds with one stone.

If you want to find out who this person is, you can only go through Tan Guangming or his secretary. "

Lao Xu thought for a while and shook his head and said, "It's hard to say. Too many people are afraid of your skill. As time goes by, more and more people will know about this, and you may be in more and more dangers in the future.

Some people will do anything to protect themselves, and your existence makes it impossible for them to hide.

Yan Cheng, what I am going to say next has no other meaning, it is just a suggestion made in my personal capacity. "

Li Yancheng raised his eyebrows and looked at Lao Xu in surprise: "Director, I was a soldier under you when I was in the army. Ten years have passed and I am still a soldier under you. There is no need for us to be so polite. Just say whatever you want to say."

"My suggestion is that you leave the front line. You can decide whether to leave the Social Affairs Bureau or not, but it's best to disappear for a while. You can't just think about yourself, you also have to think about your wife, Comrade Luo Min. She's pregnant now. What if...

Yan Cheng, you have to know that those criminals can do anything when they are desperate.

Although as members of the organization and law enforcers we should put danger behind us and move forward bravely, we cannot ignore the safety of our families.

Aren't you currently cooperating with a research group at the military hospital to conduct medical research? Take this opportunity to stay in the hospital for a while, write a report, and resign from your position as the head of the pre-trial department. Over time, those people will forget about you."

Li Yancheng was a little surprised. He really didn't expect that Lao Xu would give him this suggestion.

Leave the front line and continue to be a doctor!

There was a hint of confusion in his eyes.

He actually has no preference between the profession of doctor or the identity of a front-line staff member in the Social Affairs Bureau. Living in this era and this environment, he just wants to do something to the best of his ability.

Perhaps it was because he lived too peacefully in his previous life, so he likes an exciting life in this life.

The sound of gunfire and the danger to his life would cause his adrenaline to rush, making him extremely excited.

But he also felt that since getting married, especially after his wife became pregnant, he had become more and more concerned.

This feeling made him realize that he was not the kind of person who could truly sacrifice himself for others and put his own family aside for the sake of the public.

Before, I was able to give up everything and ignore everything simply because I was alone and didn't care about anything. I didn't even know whether I was Zhuang Zhou dreaming of being a butterfly or the butterfly dreaming of being Zhuang Zhou.

But now it’s different. He has a home, not a house, but a family. He has a lover and will soon have his own children. These are his weaknesses.

He knew very well that he was born ordinary and could not do anything great.

Lao Xu's suggestion once again awakened the softness in his heart. Yes, whether or not he should continue to work on the front line, he felt that he needed to think carefully about it.

"Pa" Lao Xu saw the confusion that flashed across Li Yancheng's eyes, smiled slightly, raised his hand and patted his arm.

"Don't think that we can't solve the case without you. Having you around just makes it more convenient sometimes. What's more, even if you resign from the position of Chief of the Pre-trial Section, you are still the interrogation expert of the Commission. If we really encounter a difficult case, we will still ask you for help."
