Rebirth 2014: I, the King of Criminal Investigation

Chapter 284 Requests before Execution
No one got drunk today, but they drank well.

Except for Qu Tuotuo, both of them have just reached the required amount.

After dinner, Yu Dazhang sent Qu Tuotuo home. Because they both had been drinking, they called a taxi at the door of their house.

On the road.

"I want to discuss something with you." Qu Tuotuo said softly.

Yu Dazhang nodded:
"What are you discussing? Just tell me if you have something to say. I'll do as you say."

Through today's meal, he was grateful to Qu Tuotuo.

As children, who doesn’t want their parents to be healthy?

Qu Tuotuo took his parents to the hospital for a physical examination and bought medicine for his mother, which touched Yu Dazhang's heart.

During this period, she also went to Xicheng to see herself and left 100,000 yuan for Ye Zhiyu.

She was afraid that Yu Dazhang would not eat well or sleep well outside and would feel wronged.

Yu Dazhang is not stupid, so of course he can understand her feelings.

The person who loves you doesn’t care how high you fly, she only cares whether you are full.

So he agreed without thinking twice.

"Then I'll tell you." Seeing that he agreed so readily, Qu Tuotuo became a little hesitant:
"My family is going to have a small party, and I want you to go with me."

What's the point of discussing this matter? Yu Dazhang nodded disapprovingly:
"No problem. When?"

"The day after tomorrow." Qu Tuotuo said hesitantly:

"I have to make it clear to you first. In fact, this party is held for you."

Yu Dazhang was stunned when he heard this.

The day after tomorrow is not my birthday. Besides, Qu Wannian is unlikely to hold a birthday party for me.

"Then please tell me in more detail." He was really a little vague.

"That's right." Qu Tuotuo explained:
"There are still many people introducing boyfriends to me. I have explained it to my parents many times, but no one believes it."

"So we held a family meeting and decided to have a small party and invite all the closest people to come. This would be our public announcement of our relationship."

Once and for all...Yu Dazhang feels that this is almost the same as getting engaged.

It means to tell others that Qu Tuotuo is already taken and they should stop thinking about her.

"Who are the people you invited?" Yu Dazhang thought it would be better to ask clearly.

It would be bad if there was any verbal offense at that time.

Having just experienced Han Lianwu's case, his mental state is not very stable now.

"Most of them are my relatives, and some are old friends of my family."

Qu Tuotuo lowered his head, flexed his fingers one by one, and muttered:

"Uncle, Third Uncle, Aunt, Uncle..."

Only after she curled all ten fingers into fists did she look up at Yu Dazhang:

"The specific number will not exceed fifteen."

Judging from the number of people, they are indeed the closest to her family.

In Province S, Yu Dazhang heard Ye Zhiyu talk about the 150 rule, which states that close family and friends only number about fifteen people.

"Okay, I should show up for things like this."

He had not done anything for Qu Tuotuo since he met her, so he had no reason to refuse this time.

"But I don't have a suit." Yu Dazhang just remembered that he didn't have any clothes to wear on formal occasions.

I did make a suit when I was in police school, but then I gained weight and it no longer fit me.

"No, this is not a business banquet." Seeing that he agreed, Qu Tuotuo's eyes narrowed into crescents:

"Just anything, anything you normally wear will do."

That’s no problem…Yu Dazhang felt relieved.

In his opinion, this was just a small scene, and stage fright did not exist. When he was in S Province, a room full of white shirts could not scare him, let alone a few businessmen.

"If..." Qu Tuotuo hesitated for a moment, then said:

"If someone says something disrespectful to you, you don't have to consider me, and you don't have to suffer for me."

Can it? Yu Dazhang felt that people in Qu Wannian's circle would not do anything too disqualified, at least it would not embarrass others.

"I...I'll try my best."

The next day.

Yu Dazhang received a call from his master Lu Zhongxin as soon as he woke up.

The master and disciple haven't been in touch for more than a month.

Everyone is very busy, especially the master and the disciple, both of whom are straight men. There is nothing special and they are usually busy with their own things.

"Master, is there anything I can do for you?" Yu Dazhang asked.

"I just went to the team to find you and told you to take a rest today." Lu Zhongxin said quickly:
"Team One received a call from the detention center, saying that Zhou Zizhe wants to see you."

When he heard the name "Zhou Zizhe", Yu Dazhang couldn't help but frown. He really didn't have a good impression of this person.

Moreover, it has been almost half a year since Zhou Zizhe was arrested. If all went well, the verdict would have been announced.

"Did you tell me what it was?"

If it wasn't something important, Yu Dazhang would have refused.

"Zhou Zizhe was to be executed this morning. This was his request before his death." Lv Zhongxin explained:
"The detention center will definitely convey it to him, but the decision is yours."

He didn't even struggle... Yu Dazhang was a little surprised at Zhou Zizhe's determination.

If he appeals, the case can be delayed for at least half a year, or even longer.

"Okay." Yu Dazhang agreed.

Even if you dislike this person, out of humanitarian considerations, you should try to meet his or her requests before execution.

Arrived at the detention center.

In a separate room, Zhou Zizhe was handcuffed and shackled, sitting behind a table.

Yu Dazhang sat on a chair three meters away from him.

"I heard that you are taking a day off today. I am sorry to have taken up your rare vacation time."

Zhou Zizhe looked very calm, without any sign of tension or panic.

"It doesn't matter." Yu Dazhang smiled:
"No matter what, we are acquainted, so it's only right for me to come and see you off."

He found that Zhou Zizhe was not thinner than before, but fatter. His originally angular facial features had also become rounder.

Is this how detention centers are cared for now?

"It's funny that when the warden asked me who I wanted to see a week ago, I couldn't answer."

Zhou Zizhe shook his head in self-mockery, with mixed emotions in his eyes:

"You know the situation of my biological parents. There is no need to meet them. My adoptive father has also been implicated by me, and I am too embarrassed to see my adoptive mother."

"I didn't sleep all night last night, and it wasn't until this morning that I realized that you seemed to be the only one I could see."

It's really bizarre for a person to end up like this... Yu Dazhang can no longer tell whether Zhou Zizhe is pitiful or hateful.

"Just meeting?" he asked.

The two of them were not familiar enough to chat casually like friends, so Yu Dazhang concluded that Zhou Zizhe must have something to say since he asked him to come.

Or rather, he had something to entrust to him.

"You are still as sharp as ever, but you are too cold."

Zhou Zizhe replied with a smile:
"I later learned about the kidnapper village. I must thank you in person, but I also don't want to owe you a favor."

"This time when I see you, I want to give you a big gift, and then we're even."
