Restarting life by going to the countryside to support medical work

Chapter 498 Meeting
"Why did Director Li get married so late?"

Women's thinking seems to be more unique. Director Lin said so much, but she only remembered this one sentence.

Her question stunned the others.

Director Lin opened his mouth for a long time before he finally said, "Political Commissar, I don't know how to answer your question. I don't know either. But when you meet Deputy General Jin of the Corps later, you can ask him. Deputy General Jin and Director Li are childhood friends. It is said that the two have a close relationship and are definitely familiar with this kind of private matter."

Director Lin said this just to tease. How could Deng Meili ask Jin Zhihai such a question? They were not familiar with each other. If she really asked, others might suspect that she had some feelings for Director Li.

She knew that Director Li was the son-in-law of the Luo family, and no one would dare to have such thoughts.

Deng Meili was very clear that she had asked the wrong question. In fact, she regretted it as soon as she said it. Now, hearing the director's teasing words, she smiled a little embarrassedly.

"I just said that casually."

"Director Lin, Director Li has such a good relationship with Vice President Jin. If he steps down as the captain in the future, will Vice President Jin take over?"

As soon as Deng Meili finished speaking, another deputy director sitting next to her spoke up, changing the subject.

However, the question he asked was even more difficult to answer.

But everyone seems to be more concerned about these messy things that cannot be put on the table for discussion.

Just like the question asked by this deputy director, anyone who is familiar with the relationship between Li Yancheng and Jin Zhihai is almost certain that as long as nothing unexpected happens in the future, it is almost certain that Deputy Director Jin will take over the position of captain.

Because for Li Yancheng, holding the position of captain is just a stopgap measure. First, the Criminal Investigation Corps is a newly formed department. This department is particularly important within the public security system. In the eyes of the leaders above, this department must be made combat-ready as soon as possible.

If we want it to quickly form combat effectiveness, we cannot set up artificial obstacles. If we arrange a captain-in-chief who has worked in the public security system for a long time, then Li Yancheng, the newly appointed deputy director in charge of criminal investigation who was transferred from other units, is likely to be sidelined.

Being sidelined is definitely unacceptable for a young cadre with a good background. He must find ways to establish his own voice. This may make it difficult for those below him to do their jobs because they don't know who to listen to. In serious cases, it may even affect the normal development of work.

In this case, it would be better to temporarily hand over the power to one person to facilitate better work.

Of course, the higher-ups agreed to do this because Li Yancheng himself was of a high enough rank. In addition, he had worked on the front line of the Social Affairs Bureau, personally participated in solving many major cases, and served as a department leader. He had certain management experience, so the leaders were willing to give him this opportunity.

But the time given to him will definitely not be too long. One to two years is the limit. By then, no matter how well or badly he does, he must step down as captain.

During this period, if he does a good job, then his recommendation for the successor will most likely be adopted. But if he does not do a good job, let alone being recommended, it will be a question whether he can continue to work.

But this kind of thing can only be regarded as a tacit understanding, an unspoken rule. If it is put on the surface, it will make other people feel strange.

Director Lin also had no way to answer the question asked by the deputy director of the Rouhuai County Bureau. As a person who came from the Criminal Investigation Department of the Municipal Bureau, he was of course very clear about the relationship between Li Yancheng and Jin Zhihai, and he also thought so in his heart. But he couldn't say this out loud. If this got to the ears of his superiors, what would they think?
"Old Wang, you are making things difficult for me. I am only the director of our Rouhuai County Bureau, not the leader of the Municipal Bureau. I have no say in the personnel arrangements of the Municipal Bureau.

Let's not talk about this anymore. It's better for us to say less about the leader's gossip. After I go back, I will go directly to the scene to check out the situation. The headquarters should be on the way now. It may be that one of the vice presidents is leading the team. Lao Wang, when the people from the headquarters arrive, you arrange someone to take them to the scene.

Vice President Jin will not come, as the case on his hands is already a headache for him. It may be Vice President Zhu who will come. Today is the first day of the person in charge taking office, and such a big case has been exposed. The headquarters will not and dare not take it lightly. Our Rouhuai must have left a deep impression on Director Li. Sigh..."

Lin Wentao looked miserable.

Who could have thought that Rouhuai, a city with relatively good public security environment in the whole Beijing, would be hit by a bomb today, which made the director completely confused.

What he could not have imagined was that two jeeps from the headquarters were following his car less than a kilometer away.

Zhu Dongjun led the team, and he kept urging the driver to increase the speed as much as possible while ensuring safety.

Since he knew that the newly appointed leader in charge and captain would also be coming, of course he had to run faster. At the very least, he could get there first to learn more about the case, and he would also have something to report when the leader arrived.

"The Rouhuai County Police Department is so unlucky. They didn't report the case earlier or later, but chose today. I guess Wentao's butt is probably starting to emit sparks."

Shi Yinghai, the team leader of the first team of the general team sitting in the back row, said with a smile.

When Lin Wentao was the team leader of the Third Department, Shi Yinghai happened to be his deputy. The two had a very good relationship and a tacit understanding as partners. Not to mention that he was not around now, he would dare to tease him even in person.

"Don't talk about Wentao, there are sparks coming out from under my butt. What's going on?" Zhu Dongjun, who was sitting in the passenger seat, said without turning his head.

"Boss Zhu, if Boss Jin investigates the series of cases for a long time but still can't solve them, will it have any impact on Director Li?"

"There will definitely be an impact, but it can be big or small. If there are no more cases in the future, the impact can be minimized. If we continue to report cases but still can't solve them, let alone what the leaders will think, the representatives won't agree. When the representatives' meeting is held next year, they will definitely bring it up again and again. Who can stand being named in such a meeting? At the meeting two days ago, Director Gao's face was dark from beginning to end."

Due to limitations in investigative methods and other issues, some cases are indeed very difficult to solve, and no one dares to say that the crime-solving rate can reach 100%. If this is really the case, the deeper reasons behind it are probably even more worrying.

The files of unsolved cases in the archives are piled higher than a person. These are just those in Beijing, and there are many more across the country. Some cases may not be solved until decades later, and some cases can only be solved because they are brought up by other cases.

Even decades later, when technology has advanced enough and more scientific methods can be used to investigate cases, there will still be no clues in some cases.

"Director Qiao is really amazing. Even if a case cannot be solved, he can be transferred to the department and leave the mess to the next person in charge."

"Old Shi, be careful with your words. It doesn't matter since we are all family in the car, but don't talk nonsense when you go out." Zhu Dongjun turned his head to look at Shi Yinghai and said very seriously.

"I understand. I just said it casually in front of our brothers. Sigh... Director Li has sat on a powder keg by coming here this time."

"Not necessarily. If the case is solved by Director Li, the benefits will be greater."

"It's not that easy. I see that Mr. Jin is busy with his people every day, but it seems that he doesn't even have a decent clue."

"This case is really bizarre. It was confusing ten years ago, and it is still the same when it breaks out again ten years later. I really don't know who the murderer is. The anti-detection methods are too powerful."

"Boss Zhu, do you think it's possible that this was done by an insider?"

As soon as Shi Yinghai said this, the air in the entire car seemed to freeze, and the only sound left in the silence was the roar of the car engine.

This issue has been considered by everyone from top to bottom, but no one dared to say it out loud. If everyone were to feel insecure and suspicious of each other, how would work be carried out?

The most important thing is that groundless suspicion will make many front-line police officers feel distrusted.

In fact, when we were asked to submit our activity tracks before the August 28 Incident a few days ago, we all knew that it was an internal investigation, but the leaders didn't say so. So even though we were dissatisfied, we still followed the order.

When the September 2nd case broke out, everyone became a little nervous. No one dared to go out alone. Even when going home from get off work, they had to find someone to accompany them, for fear that another case would happen one day and they would be in trouble if they could not explain their whereabouts.

"Okay, Lao Shi, stop talking about this..."

Before Zhu Dongjun could finish his words, a burst of urgent car horns suddenly sounded from behind, followed by the car's walkie-talkie rang.

"Boss Zhu, Boss Zhu, Director Li has caught up with us."

???

Except for the driver who was driving and looking back through the rearview mirror, the others in the car turned their heads and looked back. Through the rear window, they could clearly see the black Shanghai-licensed sedan with license plate number 01-01001 following the second jeep of the team.

"Director Li is running so fast!" Zhu Dongjun blurted out in surprise after seeing the car clearly. "Ka... Ka..."

At this time, the car walkie-talkie rang twice again, as if someone was pressing the call button. When Zhu Dongjun picked up the walkie-talkie, Li Yancheng's voice came from it.

"Dong Jun, are you in front of me?"

"Yes, Director Li, I'm the one in front. I saw your car."

"Well, there's no need to stop. Let's talk about it when we get to the Rouhuai County Bureau."

"it is good"

"It seems that Director Li hasn't eaten either." After the walkie-talkie was completely silent, Shi Yinghai in the back row said cautiously.

"The criminals have challenged Director Li, so how can he have an appetite to eat?"

"It seems to me that Director Li is driving the car alone." A detective sitting in the back seat suddenly spoke up.

"Our Director Li is quite independent and eccentric." Zhu Dongjun turned his head and looked back, but his view was blocked by the jeep behind him. He could no longer see the situation in Li Yancheng's car, so he retracted his gaze and continued.

"When he was the deputy secretary-general at the Social Affairs Bureau headquarters, his salary was good enough, but he liked to drive himself when he went in and out. It seems that this habit has not changed after he was transferred here."

"Tsk tsk, that's really rare." Shi Yinghai sighed, but his voice was much lower, as if his voice could be heard to the car behind if it was louder.

"By the way, Director Li is a pragmatic person. If you want to report something to him later, just get to the point directly. Don't drag it out for a long time without getting to the point."

As the former deputy director of the Criminal Investigation Division 1, Zhu Dongjun dealt with Li Yancheng, an interrogation expert, a lot in his work and had a relatively good understanding of his character. He knew that Li Yancheng did not like to be polite and would always talk about things when there was something to say. If there was nothing to say, he should do what he was supposed to do and not revolve around him. So he hurriedly reminded several people in Group 1.

"Yes," the four people sitting in the back row responded in unison.

After looking back again and still not seeing Li Yancheng's car, Zhu Dongjun turned around and looked forward.

As soon as I sat up straight, the driver pointed to the front and said, "Mr. Zhu, this is the car of Rouhuai County Bureau."

Zhu Dongjun looked carefully and saw that it was indeed the case. They had caught up with the car from Rouhuai County Bureau.

"Honk"

"Beep beep..."

The horn was honked at the back, and the speed of the jeep from the Rouhuai County Bureau in front obviously slowed down. Zhu Dongjun waved his hand and said, "Catch up and run side by side."

"it is good"

After the two cars were parked side by side, Zhu Dongjun opened the window on the passenger side, and the driver of the other car also opened the window. Lin Wentao tilted his head and looked over here and said loudly: "Boss Zhu, you guys are driving too fast."

There was no response, and Zhu Dongjun just made a bad gesture and pointed behind him.

Seeing this, Lin Wentao turned his head and looked back through the small rear window of the jeep. What he saw gave him a fright.

"Fuck, why is Director Li here too?"

After hearing what he said, the four people in the back row all turned their heads and looked behind them.

In addition to the jeep parked side by side, there is another jeep behind it, and behind that is a black sedan. Needless to say, this one should belong to Director Li.

But, didn’t he just take office today and hasn’t handed over his duties yet? How come…

The four people sitting in the back row turned around and looked at Lin Wentao with surprise. They had just said that Director Li would definitely not come, but who would have thought that he would not play by the rules and would not even hand over the work. He came directly to the scene.

Lin Wentao took a deep breath and tilted his head to look at Zhu Dongjun who was standing side by side with him. This time he did not shout loudly, but pointed back, asking why this guy came here personally.

Vice President Zhu shook his head and said nothing. He just made a gesture, meaning don't ask so many questions and just drive quickly.

Seeing that he had no intention of stopping the car, Director Lin told the driver, "Okay, Xiao Zheng, drive faster."

"Yes"

"Woo..." After receiving the order, the driver Xiao Zheng stepped on the accelerator slowly, and the car speed increased immediately.

Li Yancheng behind also saw the car of Rouhuai County Bureau. He originally wanted to overtake the two cars of the headquarters and go ahead, but after seeing the car of Rouhuai County Bureau, he gave up the idea.

He knew that if he sped up and overtook them, both the car from the headquarters and the Rouhuai County Bureau would choose to increase their speed to catch up.

He was confident in his modified reaction speed and driving skills, but he had little confidence in others. With the road conditions so bad, he was also worried that something might happen if the three cars were driving too fast.

Car! Car!

Thinking of this, he sighed leisurely. There are still too few cars in the bureau!
Some of them are even from before the liberation, and they don’t know how annoying it is to repair cars all day long.

It's not just the Public Security Bureau that is short of cars, but there is a shortage everywhere. The domestic industrial level is too poor, and there are too few cars produced domestically to keep up with the demand, and imported cars cannot be afforded. The country has to use the little foreign exchange it earns now on the most important things, so how can it possibly buy imported cars?

No, if he remembered correctly, it seemed that the government work report on the second day of the conference mentioned that this year's foreign exchange reserves seemed to be negative, that is, there were still foreign debts.

For the Public Security Bureau, police reports are orders. After receiving a report, arriving at the crime scene quickly and handling the report quickly are the hard truths.

This requires that the public security departments be equipped with a large amount of police equipment, including vehicles.

Imagine that the police station receives a report of a fight happening somewhere, and a car drives away and arrives in a few minutes. In many police cases, the key is the speed of response, which can avoid many injuries.

But what if the police officer rides a bicycle to respond to the call? By the time they arrive at the scene, the incident may be too late.

While driving, Li Yancheng's mind was full of thoughts. He, a deputy director, couldn't solve this problem. Not to mention him, even Lao Gao could only have ideas but no solutions.

The number of police officers and police equipment in the country seems to be still insufficient even after decades, especially the number of formal police officers.

The lack of formal police officers has forced grassroots units to use a large number of auxiliary police officers. However, auxiliary police officers are not police officers after all. They are just auxiliary personnel and do not have the qualifications to enforce the law independently. This has also led to many violations.

Shaking his head to put the matter out of his mind, Li Yancheng held the steering wheel with one hand and took out a cigarette from his pocket with the other hand and lit it for himself. There is no rule against smoking while driving now. Not to mention smoking, many cars nowadays don't even have seat belts.

However, he remembered reading an article in the newspaper some time ago that seemed to have published an article about promoting the use of car seat belts starting this year. But in his memory of his previous life, it seemed that it was not until the 1990s that seat belts became a mandatory legal safety equipment for vehicles. It was not until the 2010s that drivers and passengers were actually required to wear seat belts after getting on the car.

Following the three jeeps, a group of four cars rushed straight towards Rouhuai County at lightning speed.
