Chapter 380 The Disappearing Woman

Early December 2009, eight o'clock in the morning.

Haidong Province, Yonghe City.

Jiang Mei got out of the taxi. After paying, she swung the plush scarf around her neck and walked towards the community against the icy cold wind.

The concierge was sitting in the security booth reading a newspaper with a pair of reading glasses on his nose. After seeing her, the concierge got up and opened the window and said, "Xiao Jiang, you just came back?"

Jiang Mei nodded with a smile and put her chin into her scarf: "I went to a relative's house last night and I'm on vacation today."

"I think it's going to snow today, so please keep warm."

"Yes, then you are busy first." Jiang Mei quickly walked past the gate and walked towards her home.

The concierge retreated into the room, closed the window, and muttered: "You are in your forties and you are still not married. What a sin you have committed."

Jiang Mei seemed to hear this and turned her head back slightly, but in the end she did not argue with the old man.

She sighed slightly, stepped into the corridor, took out the key from her pocket and opened the door.

After entering the door, Jiang Mei suddenly smelled a faint smell. The smell was not obvious and she couldn't tell what it was, which made her frown slightly.

"Xiao Liang, are you at home?" Jiang Mei shouted into the room while changing her shoes in the entrance hall.

"Little pretty?"

She shouted several times in succession, but received no reply.

This is a two-bedroom apartment with old furniture. The windows in the living room are wide open, and the wind pours in from the outside, blowing the curtains.

Jiang Mei put down her bag, pulled off her scarf, and hurriedly closed the window.

After the wind stopped, the room suddenly became so quiet that you could almost hear a pin drop.

For no reason, Jiang Mei felt panic in her heart and a chill ran down her spine.

She turned her head and looked at the guest bedroom. The door was closed.

"Little..." She did not dare to cry out, but quietly walked towards the door, then held the handle and gently pushed the door open...

————————————

Haidong Provincial Department.

Criminal Investigation Bureau building, detachment leader's office.

Lin Chen knocked on the door and without waiting for a response, he opened the door and stepped in.

Luo Rui was immersed in the documents on the desktop, looking as if he was beyond hope.

Seeing Lin Chen come in with a pile of information, he was stunned: "Are you going to be so exaggerated? Are these all to be seen?"

"These are old cases from various cities and counties. Mr. Wang asked me to send them over for you to take a look at first." Lin Chen said with a smile.

Luo Rui threw the pen on the table and sighed: "There's no need to bring all the files from the archives, right?"

"It's not that exaggerated..." Lin Chen opened a hand: "I only selected backlogged cases that have not been solved within five years."

"Five years is enough." Luo Rui rubbed his eyes, feeling tired.

Since taking office in October, he was first sent to Imperial City to study for a month. After returning, the Criminal Investigation Bureau asked him to tackle the backlog of cases in Haidong Province in recent years.

This is not a small amount. If the years and types of cases are not defined, he may be overwhelmed by the vast ocean.

In addition, given Luo Rui's reputation in recent years, he is the youngest deputy director of the provincial department, and he also holds the position of detachment leader.

At Wu Ding's strong request, Luo Rui went to the police academy and the provincial department to organize lectures. Many police academy students and serving police officers came to listen to his classes.

The number of hours spent working in the provincial department can be counted on one hand. As soon as I take a break, there is work to be done again. No wonder these big leaders have dedicated people to arrange their food, clothing, housing and transportation. If not, one day would not be enough. use.

If it weren't for Lin Chen's help, he would have collapsed from exhaustion.

Lin Chen handed a document to him: "This is the document that was just issued. Take a look."

Luo Rui looked at it for a moment, then raised his head and asked, "Do you want me to form a criminal homicide team in Haidong Province?"

Lin Chen lowered his body slightly: "Yes, the provincial department requires you to lead the task force to patrol various cities and counties in our province and focus on the detection of backlogged cases."

Luo Rui leaned on the back of his chair, looking like he was in ruins, and spread out his hands: "Where are the people? I am a bachelor commander now, and the deputy detachment leader has been vacant for several months. I will do everything, Lin Chen , I’m almost exhausted.”

Lin Chen pouted: "What are you talking about? How can anyone describe themselves like this?"

"Eh..." Luo Rui's eyes lit up: "Do the people for this critical team have to be selected from the provincial department?"

Lin Chen knew what he was planning: "Don't think about it. You are not qualified to select and transfer personnel. This matter was arranged by Mr. Wang and Mr. Zhu."

Hearing this, Luo Rui suddenly became listless again: "Look, I just said that coming to the provincial department is not a good thing. There are constraints everywhere. It's really difficult to get something done."

"That's natural. If there are no restrictions on rights, wouldn't it be a mess?"

Lin Chen replied, and then said: "The personnel for the critical attack team have been selected a long time ago. At one o'clock in the afternoon, there will be a meeting in the conference room three. Mr. Wang will also attend the meeting. By the way, there is one more thing that you have been thinking about. The deputy detachment leader has also been selected, and you can see him this afternoon.”

"Really?" Luo Rui became more energetic again: "Don't bring in a deputy detachment leader who is about the same age as Mr. Wang, otherwise I will be the deputy and he will be the chief. The age gap is too big, and there is also a generation gap."< br>

"You'll know then." Lin Chen rolled his eyes, took the signed documents from his desk, and walked out of the office.

In the afternoon, Luo Rui walked out of the office with several selected files in his hand. Lin Chen also quickly came out of the cubicle, holding a stack of organized information in his arms.

In recent times, Luo Rui has been wearing a police uniform and feels uncomfortable all over his body.

Uniforms are purely used to restrain people. You won't feel comfortable even if you want to lie down or sit lazily. You have to sit upright when you sit, and stand upright when you stand, so that you will be slightly more comfortable.

However, precisely because of this, it embodies the majesty and solemnity of the people's police and always alerts itself.

Arriving at Conference Room No. 3, Lin Chen took a trot, looked back at him, and then helped him open the door.

There was a "crunch".

Luo Rui lowered his head and stepped into the door. At this time, the five people in the conference room stood upright, and they were all wearing police uniforms.

"Good luck!"

Everyone saluted him and expressed their greetings.

Luo Rui waved his hand without even raising his face: "Sit down, everyone, sit down..."

But suddenly, his words were stuck in his throat and his eyes widened.

Because among these sounds, he heard several familiar voices.

Luo Rui quickly looked up and saw Fang Yonghui and Chu Yang standing straight.

Both of them did not lower their gestures, their eyes were warm, their expressions were joyful, and their lips were pursed tightly.

Although we haven’t seen each other for only more than two months, it seems like a long time has passed.

"You...why you two..." Luo Rui's throat was choked and he was speechless.

Chu Yang and Fang Yonghui left their seats and took a step forward, but at this time, they were a little reserved when facing Luo Rui.

In the past, we didn't think anything of it when we were together, but since Luo Rui was transferred to the provincial department, he seems to have become a very special existence, so that they don't dare to get close to him.

Luo Rui pulled the two of them over and hugged them for a while, only then did they eliminate the estrangement between them.

"Luo Da."

"Team leader."

The two immediately changed their names and no longer called them "Luo Chu".

Fang Yonghui said: "Luo Da, Chu Yang and I were both transferred here."

Chu Yang nodded: "Director Wei asked me if I wanted to work in the provincial department. I couldn't believe it. I said that if I went to the team leader's department, I was willing. If I went to other departments, I was ready to give up.

But Director Wei severely criticized me, saying that I didn’t realize it and had no choice, so I agreed. But who knew that Director Wei had played a trick on me and actually hid it and didn’t tell me in advance. If I hadn’t seen him in the morning, Lin Chen, I didn’t even know you were leading the provincial team’s attack team. ”

Fang Yonghui also followed: "There is also a place in Linjiang City, which was secured for me by Bureau Lu. Yang Bo also wants to come, but his academic qualifications are not enough. Luo Da, Yang Bo told me to say hello to you."

"Okay! Okay!" Luo Rui said repeatedly. Today is the happiest day in the past two months, and he is so excited that it is difficult to calm down.

There were three strangers standing in the conference room, two men and one woman, looking at the enthusiasm of Fang Yonghui, Chu Yang and Luo Rui with envy.

Luo Rui turned to look at them and nodded slightly.

"Hello, Luo Chu, my name is Qiao Xue, from the Yonghe City Criminal Police Detachment."

"Luo Chuhao, my name is Zhang Yong, from the Hejiang City Criminal Police Detachment."

"Luo Chuhao, my name is Sun Zhihao, from the Qingyang City Criminal Police Detachment."

"Hello, everyone, please take a seat." Luo Rui waved his hand and sat down at the top.

Luo Rui glanced at their faces and secretly wrote down their names.

At this time, Lin Chen placed a pile of information in front of him.

Luo Rui took it in his hand and put aside the resumes of Fang Yonghui and Chu Yang.

He picked up Sun Zhihao's resume. This man was young, but he had worked in the Qingyang City Criminal Investigation Detachment for five years and served as the deputy captain of the brigade. The school he graduated from, the cases he solved, and the merits he received are all written in detail on it.

In addition, Lin Chen also wrote a name on his resume: Sun Kang.

This name was familiar to Luo Rui. I had met this person at the provincial department meeting some time ago. He was an old fox who was the deputy director of the Qingyang Municipal Bureau at the time.

Luo Rui blinked and picked up Zhang Yong's resume. It was surprising to see that this man was just an ordinary criminal police officer in the Hejiang City Bureau Detachment, with only two years of service.

In other words, he was still a rookie, and he was selected?

Lin Chen still wrote after his name: Huang Qing.

Luo Rui also knew this person. He remembered that during the last meeting, Team Zhu specially introduced him to him. Huang Qing, a legal official in Hejiang City.

Zhang Yong is his nephew!

Good guy, who are these people... Luo Rui cursed in his heart, and finally picked up the resume named Qiao Xue.

Her resume was much cleaner, so Luo Rui couldn't help but take a few more glances. She was 26 years old and had only been working for three years. During these three years, she followed her master Li Jianye to repeatedly solve major cases.

Li Jianye died in an operation to arrest a suspect who was armed with a gun. In an extremely critical situation, Qiao Xue endured great grief and decisively arrested the suspect, leaving a scratch on his forehead after the bullet reflected.

Although Luo Rui didn't know the details of the case, he knew that this Qiao Xue was not simple just from the words "112 Extraordinary Gun Murder Case".

Luo Rui glanced at this woman slightly. Her hair was tied into a ponytail. Although there was some broken hair covering her forehead, the scar on her left forehead was really shocking. If it weren't for the angle of the bullet after it bounced off, she would have died like her master. .

Please...you...Collect_6Ⅰ9ⅠBookⅠ(Six\\\Nine\\\Book\\\!)

Now, Luo Rui finally understood that the provincial department had already made preparations for the backlog attack team that was to be set up this time to inspect various cities and counties.

Including Fang Yonghui and Su Mingyuan, there are five people in total, from different prefecture-level cities.

Needless to say, the Linjiang Municipal Bureau and the Haijiang Branch were Luo Rui's old units, the base camp, so there was no obstacle.

But the units where the other three worked were different. Luo Rui had seen the murder detection work of various cities and counties, as well as the number of backlogged cases. Hejiang City Bureau and Qingyang City Bureau had the most.

Zhang Yong and Sun Zhihao were selected to be transferred to the provincial department's critical team, and the underlying reasons became completely clear.

On the one hand, the city bureau sent them here to gild themselves.

On the other hand, from the perspective of the provincial department, these two people seem to be used as "protons."

At this time, Luo Rui suddenly remembered what Wang Mu said to him in the car when he first took office.

"Provincial offices are not as good as local governments. Most of the time they provide support to local governments, and the home court belongs to them. So, we all have to be more diplomatic in our conduct and work. Luo Rui, especially you, will be more involved with those who take the lead in the future. Move around.

If you go to a local area and others don't sell you, it will be very difficult. ”

Thinking back on this now, Luo Rui felt a little numb.

This is a game between the provincial department and the local government. It seems that this time they are trying to catch the typical examples. Hejiang City and Qingyang City are the typical examples.

After the homicide inspection team of the provincial department is gone, if the two places do not cooperate, who will be slapped in the face?

The two people behind Zhang Yong and Sun Zhihao are very powerful. Don't they want to see the younger generation progress?

If it is necessary to obstruct the handling of the case, then the provincial department can open a breakthrough through Zhang Yong and Sun Zhihao.

No matter what, the provincial government will not lose.

Luo Rui sighed slightly. This was all a game of chess. If you were not careful, you would be tricked into it.

He looked at Zhang Yong and Sun Zhihao. These two young men were upright, full of passion, and had scorching eyes. They held the highest honor of the police and were not as dandy as they imagined.

Luo Rui said: "Zhang Yong, Sun Zhihao, when you two were selected, did the local municipal bureau inform you of the specific work you would be involved in?"

Why did you suddenly ask this?

Everyone didn't quite understand, and Sun Zhihao was naturally a little confused. He shook his head: "The document below the provincial department didn't give details, but it said that I would work with Luo Chu, so I applied. Luo Chu, don't worry, I will definitely do my best. Go ahead and never hold you back.”

Zhang Yong also nodded hastily: "Luo Chu, it's the same for me. When I came here, I didn't know that the provincial department would set up a murder case team, but please don't worry, I will definitely work actively."

Hey, you two are still helping count money after being sold... Luo Rui sighed in his heart, but his face didn't show it: "I'm optimistic about you, let's work together."

"Don't be formal. I'm not a hard-to-talk person. Since we will all be a team in the future, let's get to know each other, chat, and liven up the atmosphere. In this way, tonight, I will be the host and we will go out to have a meal to deepen our understanding. Feelings for each other.”

Hearing what he said, Sun Zhihao and Zhang Yong smiled, and then began to introduce each other to Chu Yang and Fang Yonghui.

Luo Rui looked at Qiao Xue. Although she was also chatting with them, her eyes were very shrewd. She looked towards Luo Rui intentionally or unintentionally. She seemed to have noticed something from Luo Rui's previous tone.

After a while, the conference room door was pushed open and Wang Mu came in from the door.

He was tall and had someone behind him.

Luo Rui waited until he got closer and then glanced at the man, and then his mouth seemed to be able to fit an egg.

Wang Mu turned sideways: "Let me introduce to you, Cai Xiaojing from Haijiang Branch, now officially serves as the deputy detachment leader of our Criminal Investigation Bureau. Everyone is welcome."

Warm applause arose, and Cai Xiaojing bowed slightly without even looking at Luo Rui, who kept winking at her.

Chu Yang and Su Mingyuan swallowed their saliva and ran forward excitedly. They wished they could hug Captain Cai like Luo Rui had done before, but because of their gender, they held back in the end.

Luo Rui squeezed forward and looked at her sideways: "Did you already know about your appointment?"

Cai Xiaojing smiled: "I was notified only half a month ago, and I haven't had time to tell you yet."

"Let's fool around." Luo Rui looked at Lin Chen: "You girl must also know the inside story. I am the only one who has been kept in the dark."

Lin Chen stuck out his tongue, feeling it was inappropriate, and quickly said with a straight face: "Luo Chu, please pay attention to your words, I am two years older than you. Besides, I am just a clerk, what can I know?"

"Tch, if you were really a clerk, I would burn incense." Luo Rui was always on pins and needles, every move he made was watched by Lin Chen. Being watched by her meant that he was watched by Wu Ting. inside.

If this little girl comes home and complains to her father, Luo Rui will be in big trouble.

At this time, Wang Mu clapped his hands: "Since everyone knows each other, let's have a meeting now."

This meeting was not as serious as usual, and Wang Mu had no airs. After all, he had only been in office for half a year and had not yet developed the majesty of a superior.

He put on a pair of reading glasses, picked up the document and looked at it.

Luo Rui sat next to Wang Mu and looked at the other person's profile. He suddenly thought, Mr. Wang will be 58 this year, right? The deputy captain of the Criminal Investigation Corps can only serve for two years, and he will retire after two years...

Thinking of this, Luo Rui was agitated... What happened to him? Why did you suddenly think of this?

He pinched his thigh secretly. It was not easy to be an official. He was seeking to get a higher position in his position. Now he has become a person who wants to climb up!

No, we must not be controlled by greed!

But it seemed like there was magic. Luo Rui tried his best not to think about it, but his mind came back to him, deputy commander, deputy commander...

These three words gripped him like a demon.

Even when Wang Mu called him, he didn't hear him.

Cai Xiaojing quickly poked his arm, and he said "Ah": "Mr. Wang, what's wrong?"

Wang Mu pushed up his reading glasses on the bridge of his nose: "I'm asking you, where do your attack teams plan to go first this time?"

With that said, Wang Mu picked up the three files and handed them to him. After Luo Rui took them, he looked down, then raised his face and saw Wang Mu's eyes condensed.

This is also an old fox. These three files are from Yonghe Municipal Bureau, Hejiang Municipal Bureau, and Qingyang Municipal Bureau.

There is no doubt that these three cases were selected by Wang Mu and Zhu Yong, and Luo Rui could only choose among them.

Because they were sitting at the top, others could not see the three files, and Sun Zhihao and Zhang Yong's eyes were clear and stupid.

According to convention, choosing what kind of case to investigate requires brainstorming and everyone must participate in the discussion. You cannot just pick up a random case and solve it as soon as you say it will be solved. This will consume manpower and financial resources.

But Wang Mu and Zhu Yong make the decision themselves, which is a bit...

"Then let's go to Yonghe City first. I have also seen this case. The case occurred at the beginning of this month. The Yonghe City Bureau has not solved it until now. It must be because of some difficulties." Luo Rui replied.

The reason why he chose this case was not because he had any clues about the case, but because of the three files, this one was placed at the top.

This is what Tang Zhiguo told him at the beginning. The way to be an official is to keep an eye on all directions and listen to all directions. If you don't pay attention, you will miss the leader's meaning.

The leader likes to play riddles. He will never explain anything clearly to you, and he will never say affirmative words.

As for the art of speaking, he is very good at it.

Wang Mu must have deliberately put the case in Yonghe City at the top, because Luo Rui nodded with satisfaction when he saw him, and then he said: "Tomorrow, you will set off to Yonghe City, and then the meeting will be held. I’ll give it to you. Just go over this case and don’t go into it with a black eye.”

I need to take a good look at it... Luo Rui cursed in his heart. He and the others stood up and watched Wang Mu stride away.

As soon as Wang Mu left, everyone seemed relaxed.

Especially Chu Yang and Fang Yonghui were smiling. Lin Chen was also chatting with Cai Xiaojing. The two of them glanced at Luo Rui from time to time, with bright smiles on their faces.

Luo Rui picked up the file and stood up: "Lin Chen, come here!"

Lin Chen puffed up his cheeks when he heard his unkind tone, and reluctantly followed him outside the conference room.

Luo Rui handed her the file in his hand: "What's the situation? It's not the homicide case team that we agreed on. The case that happened in Yonghe City at the beginning of this month was just a disappearance case? Why did Mr. Wang choose it?"

Lin Chen retorted: "Luo Chu, didn't you choose this case? How can you say it was Wang Chu..."

Luo Rui glared at her: "Don't do this to me, don't tell me that you don't know!"

Lin Chen took the file, opened the title page, and pointed to the victim's name.

"Zhang Liang, the daughter of Zhang Qingquan, the chairman of Yonghe Tobacco Company, do you understand?"

"Is there anything special about this disappearance case?"

"Then I don't know." Lin Chen spread his hands: "You might as well ask Qiao Xue. She is from the Yonghe Municipal Bureau detachment. When she was selected, she participated in the investigation of this case for a short time. . Didn’t you see that she looked at you with burning eyes and wanted to say something to you, but you didn’t pay attention to her? "

The code keyboard was flooded, and I had to temporarily replace it with a membrane one. It was difficult to operate, and guests had to stay for two days. The environment was not good, and I was busy with work at the end of the year. The boss also asked me to write a year-end summary, so I summed it up. ……

Sorry if there are any typos, point them out and I will correct them.

Kneel down...
