Spring Breeze Twenty Years

Chapter 627 Extra Meal and Drinking

The lights were on quietly, and moths fluttered in the lamplight.

As dawn broke outside, light streamed in through the door.

The knocking woke Huang and Xiaowei.

"Xiaowei, Chief Huang, come in. Xiaomei needs to go to the restroom," Qin Aihua said from inside the room.

Huang rubbed his eyes, checked the time—5:35—stood up, stretched, walked over, opened the office door, and said, "Go on, wash your face and refresh yourself. He'll be here soon."

Xiao Wei accompanied the two to the restroom, watched them wash their faces and tidy up a bit, and then the three of them returned to the office together.

Qin Aihua held out her hands and said, "Cuff them, so you won't make any mistakes. Xiaowei, Xiaomei is in your care from now on, thank you." She bowed to Xiaowei. Xiaowei didn't flinch, smiling and saying, "Okay, don't worry."

Huang handcuffed Qin Aihua to the heating pipe, placed a stool next to him, and said, "Sit down. Xiao Yang, you sit on the sofa and wait."

At 5:56, the sound of a car came from outside, the doorway flickered, and five or six people came in with a thud. The one leading the group was Liu Ting.

Xiao Wei stood up and greeted people: "Good morning, Director Liu."

Huang also stood up: "Hello, Director Liu. I am Huang Jianya, the deputy director of the police station."

Liu Tingchong, Xiao Wei, and Huang Su nodded, looked around the room, and then looked at Qin Aihua and Yang Xuemei before asking, "What exactly happened?"

Huang handed over the statement he had made the night before and said, "Reporting to Director Liu, this is the statement."

Xiao Wei took out Qin Aihua's suicide note from his bag and handed it over, saying, "This is the suicide note that Qin Aihua was preparing to ask someone to pass on to her parents. We intercepted it yesterday."

Liu Ting didn't sit down; he just stood there and read through the statement and the suicide note. He sighed and said, "What a pity." He waved his hand, and his subordinates came over to hand over the documents, taking people to collect the statement and evidence so that the police station could keep the paperwork.

Director Liu looked around and asked, "Where's the director?"

Xiao Wei couldn't help but chuckle, then coughed and whispered, "We were lucky last night. The Xinming County Bureau also happened to be there on the way. Chief Lu was afraid they would catch up, so he sent Chief Huang and me back first. My car is fast. Chief Lu and another policeman hid, and they're probably on their way back right now."

Director Liu chuckled, patted Xiao Wei on the head, and said, "Go and rest. Your eyes are all red. You've done a good job this time. Wait for the department's notification. Be proactive in your work in the future, and also pay attention to your own safety, understand?"

Xiao Wei nodded and saw the police in the hall handcuffing Yang Xuemei. He said, "She doesn't need to, does she? Uncle Liu, no matter how Yang Xuemei is ultimately judged, I'll take care of her. I consider her my sister, my own sister. Please keep an eye on her for me."

The policeman turned to look at Director Liu, who waved his hand and said, "Forget about her. Take her back. Organize an interrogation of Qin Aihua immediately. This young girl is pitiful; let a female police officer interrogate her." He then turned to Xiao Wei and said, "Alright, I'll give you face. Go and get some rest."

Xiao Wei yawned widely. As soon as he relaxed, he felt sleepy. Fighting off his fatigue, he pulled Liu Ting aside and said, "The local police station is planning to cooperate with me on a development project. I'll pay for the construction, and some of the apartments will be used to offset the construction costs. Uncle Liu, what do you think of this?"

Liu Ting asked, "How should we build it?"

Xiao Wei said, "We'll build a sixteen-story elevator, with each floor measuring 550 square meters. The bottom five floors will be used for offices, and the upper floors will be residential and dormitory buildings. We'll build some garages on the remaining land, and then it'll all be mine. I'll build some three-story buildings to sell or rent."

After thinking for a moment, Liu Ting said, "So you're throwing in millions? Is it worth it? Even buying land wouldn't be worth that much, would it?"

Xiao Wei said, "It's definitely more expensive than buying land, but it's less troublesome, and the location is suitable. I've done the math, and it's worth doing."

Director Liu said, "If you think there's no problem, then there definitely won't be any problems here in the department. This is a good thing. Write me a detailed report. I won't talk about it today. I'm going back to handle this matter. The higher-ups are waiting for news." He patted Xiao Wei on the shoulder, "You guys have done a great job. A huge job. When Xiao Lu gets back, have him write a report and send it to me immediately."

After walking a few steps, Director Liu turned back and said, "Everyone who participated in the operation last night signed the report."

Huang Suoli saluted respectfully: "Yes, sir."

Xiao Wei looked at Huang Suo and then at Liu Ting, wondering whether to show respect or disrespect. He needed an answer urgently.

Liu Ting laughed a few times and strode out. The handover was also completed; the criminal police team took Qin Aihua and Yang Xuemei into the escort vehicle, and the three cars turned around and sped away. Watching the cars drive away, Chief Huang slapped his hand hard, put his arm around Xiao Wei's shoulder, and said, "Come on, let's go to sleep, hahaha."

Xiao Wei stepped aside, looking at Huang Shuo with disgust, and said, "I don't sleep with men."

Huang was stunned. Several colleagues next to him burst into laughter. Only then did Huang realize what was going on. He raised his leg and kicked Xiao Wei, saying, "Get the hell out of here." Xiao Wei laughed and ran away, saying, "Go to sleep. I'll wait for Chief Lu. After that, I'll go home to sleep."

Huang said, "Okay, then I'll trouble you. Anyway, you're young and strong, I can't keep up." He went to the washroom to wash his face and then went to the back.

The cafeteria was preparing breakfast when the instructor walked over from behind and asked Xiaowei, "What were you guys doing last night? I saw Lao Huang was swaying as he walked; he didn't sleep all night, did he? What were you all doing making such a racket just now?"

Xiao Wei stretched and yawned, saying, "I was up all night last night, driving for most of the night. Don't even mention it, my head is throbbing right now." He had been driving at high speed for several hours at night, and it was indeed tiring to concentrate so much. That's what youth is all about.

A policeman nearby said, "The director just came. Instructor, if you get up a little earlier, you can show your face to the leader."

The instructor checked the time: "Impossible! It's only a little past seven."

Xiao Wei said, "They've arrived. Last night, Director Lu, Director Huang, and I found Qin Aihua. Director Liu just came to bring her here."

The instructor nodded, then suddenly froze, his eyes widening as he asked, "You've been caught? You?"

Xiao Wei nodded with a smile: "Yeah, he was lucky. He didn't want to run anymore, so he didn't resist."

The instructor clapped his hands and laughed, "Haha, our institute has finally got its day! Haha, good, Da Li, let's have an extra meal tonight, some hearty dishes and drinks, it's on me." Da Li, the chef in the kitchen, loudly agreed.

Xiao Wei said, "I'll treat everyone. Once the official document from the hall comes down, everyone should come to my place for drinks, every single one of them."

By this time, the comrades in the institute had gradually gotten up and come over. Hearing that Xiaowei was going to treat the whole institute to drinks, they all started yelling and shouting. The instructor didn't stop them, just laughing and watching them make a ruckus. They were happy.
