Although there was no wine for dinner, everyone chatted for several hours over the special vinegar here, and they didn't end until after ten o'clock in the evening.
The next morning, Su Mu and his party escorted Zhao Dian and Zhao Jianwu back to Jiangbin City.
Tan Ju and Li Changle came to see each other off again, and they didn't say goodbye until Su Mu and others got on the high-speed rail.
After Bureau Tan and the others left, Zhao Qiang couldn't help clicking his tongue and said, "Good guy, I've been a police officer for decades, and I've gone out to handle cases no less than a hundred times, and I've never met someone so polite!"
As he said that, he turned his head to look at Su Mu and said, "Su Suo, how did you help them solve the case this time? You are too warm and polite!"
Su Mu couldn't help laughing, and Luo Ping interjected with a smile on the side: "This case can be described as full of twists and turns, let's put it this way, if it wasn't for the Su Institute, they might be in big trouble!"
After getting on the high-speed rail, Luo Ping told Zhao Qiang and others the details of how Su Mu solved the case.
After listening, Zhao Qiang and others couldn't help but slap their thighs, everyone admired Su Mu!
When the group returned to Jiangbin City, Fang Haotian couldn't help but praise Su Mu and Luo Ping again, especially Su Mu. Fang Haotian even praised him for playing the name and prestige of Jiangbin Municipal Bureau.
After Su Mu and Luo Ping sent Zhao Dian to the detention center, the case basically had nothing to do with the Municipal Bureau, and it was waiting for the procuratorate to prosecute and the court to decide.
Of course, what awaits Zhao Dian and Zhao Jianwu is the severe punishment of the law.
The Chengnan Institute uncovered the Miemen massacre 20 years ago, and the news immediately spread throughout the streets and alleys of Jiangbin City.
The relatives and friends of the victim, Jiang Hai, sent silk banners to the Chengnan Police Station, and even set off firecrackers to thank them for solving the case, allowing Jiang Hai's family of four to rest in peace.
After the case was solved, Fang Haotian gave Su Mu another [-]-day leave.
After Su Mu came home from get off work, the neighbors in the alley came to congratulate him one after another. They praised Su Mu as a detective and praised Su Jianguo and his wife for their good education.
Su Jianguo and his wife naturally smiled from ear to ear, and greeted everyone with fruits and pastries.
Su Mu's place is lively, he didn't know that at this moment, a Mercedes-Benz car departed from Jinghai City and entered Jiangbin City!
When the Mercedes-Benz car passed through the urban area of Jiangbin City, a middle-aged man in a black suit in the car looked at the scenery outside the window and couldn't help saying: "What a big change, I haven't been here for nearly ten years!"
The middle-aged man is about 40 years old and looks very elegant.
After the car passed through the urban area, it came to the Jiangbin Municipal Bureau.
The elegant man got out of the car and walked directly into the office building of the Municipal Bureau. He asked a security guard, "Which floor is Director Fang Haotian's office on?"
Chapter 102 The Old Case Eight Years Ago
The security guard that the elegant man asked seemed to be a newcomer. He looked at the time on his phone and said, "Fang Bureau should be off work at this time, come tomorrow!"
The elegant man smiled and said, "Fang Ju is used to leaving get off work an hour late, you go and have a look."
The security guard looked at the elegant man suspiciously. At this moment, an old security guard came over. After asking the elegant man's purpose, he immediately asked him to register information, and only then did he tell Fang Haotian's office.
After the refined man thanked him, he went upstairs.
"Fang Bureau really gets off work an hour late every day?" The new security guard asked curiously.
"Well, this is Fang Ju's habit for many years." Looking at the back of the elegant man going upstairs, the old security guard couldn't help saying: "This man should be Fang Ju's friend, otherwise he wouldn't know about Fang Ju's habit."
Fang Haotian made himself a cup of strong tea, and then rubbed his forehead rhythmically. After a few minutes, he stopped rubbing comfortably, picked up the teacup, and took a sip.
"I didn't expect Fang Ju to keep this habit for more than ten years?" A laughing voice suddenly sounded outside the door.
Fang Haotian looked up, and after being taken aback for a moment, he smiled and said, "It turned out to be Mr. Lu, but you are a rare visitor. What brought you here?"
Fang Haotian hurriedly stood up, told Mr. Lu to sit down, and then poured water for him to make tea.
Boss Lu shook his hand and said, "You're welcome, Fang Ju."
Fang Haotian smiled while pouring water: "We haven't seen each other for more than ten years. When old acquaintances meet again, I should treat them warmly."
Mr. Lu couldn't help sighing, "Yes, it's been more than ten years. Back then, you were the captain of the criminal police team, and now you are the head of the Jiangbin Municipal Bureau."
Fang Haotian sat back in his seat and couldn't help sighing leisurely. The two of them recalled the past, and their expressions were a little dazed for a while.
It was Fang Haotian who woke up first. He rubbed his forehead and couldn't help laughing: "Mr. Lu is going back to Jiangbin City to visit the old man this time? I'm ashamed to say that the old man has been back for a while, and I haven't visited him, sorry!"
"He taught me this method of rubbing my forehead to treat migraines. I have been using it for more than ten years, and my migraines have improved a lot."
When Mr. Lu heard this, he smiled wryly: "Since Xinyi passed away, the old man has treated me like a stranger, and the relationship is very stiff."
Fang Haotian seemed to understand the relationship between Mr. Lu and the old man he said, so he couldn't help sighing.
"Okay, let's not mention the matter of the old man, I came today to report something to the Fang Bureau!"
Mr. Lu shook his head, cheered up, and took out his mobile phone from his pocket.
"Oh? What can make you, a busy person, go there yourself?" Fang Haotian looked at Mr. Lu suspiciously.
Boss Lu said nothing, turned around and closed the office door, and then turned on the phone to record.
"Excuse me, is this Mr. Lu Yiming? I'm Mr. Zuo..."
"Mr. Zuo?" Fang Haotian immediately stopped holding the teacup, and his face suddenly became serious.
Mr. Lu waved his hand, signaling Fang Haotian to continue listening.
"..."
"...Mr. Lu actually still remembers me. After so many years, I thought Mr. Lu married a wife again, and I have forgotten what happened back then..."
"..."
"...I didn't call today for anything else, but to tell Mr. Lu the truth about your wife being killed 12 years ago..."
"..."
"...Don't be surprised, Mr. Lu. Your wife's murder was not an accident, but a deliberate murder. There is another truth about her death. As long as Mr. Lu gives me 50 yuan now, I will tell you the truth immediately..."
……
After listening to all the recordings, Fang Haotian silently put down his teacup, his brows became more and more frowned, and finally he said: "If this Zuogong didn't lie, then my guess was right back then, and there is indeed something hidden in Mrs. Ling's case!"
Mr. Lu nodded: "In the case of my wife being killed back then, all the evidence showed that Hong Chiqiang improvised the murder. Only Fang Ju deduced that there might be something else hidden. Unfortunately, there was no evidence. In the end, Hong Chiqiang had to be arrested and shot. Years later, there was a sudden change!"
Fang Haotian nodded: "According to the days, Zuogong should be released today, that is to say, he called you as soon as he came out?"
Mr. Lu said: "The call was made three hours ago. After I answered it, I didn't even return home, so I came to you directly!"
"Hmm!" Fang Haotian raised his eyebrows, "This case has puzzled me for more than ten years, and now it has changed. I also want to know the truth. Mr. Lu, what are you going to do? Restart the old case?"
Mr. Lu said bitterly: "Back then, my wife went back to Jiangbin City alone after a quarrel with me, and was killed because of it. I have been living in remorse for more than ten years, and my daughter refused to forgive me because of this."
"She brought a boy home recently, but she didn't tell me that I, as a father, have failed to the extreme. Even this kind of thing was told to me by her grandma."
"So whether it's to appease my wife's spirit in heaven, or to give my daughter an explanation, I will investigate this case to the bottom and hope that the Bureau will approve it!"
Fang Haotian also understood Mr. Lu's situation, and sighed sympathetically.
Immediately afterwards, he said again: "Well, approval is not a problem. It just so happens that our city bureau has recently discovered an absolute master in solving crimes. I am going to let him take charge of this case."
"Thank you Fang Ju." Mr. Lu immediately thanked him.
"you are welcome!"
Fang Haotian waved his hand: "This case has always been a lump in my heart. If I haven't thoroughly investigated it in a day, even if I retire, I will still worry about it. If I can investigate it, it will be my long-cherished wish!"
"By the way, I have one more request." Boss Lu said again at this time.
"Boss Lu has a request, just say it!" Fang Haotian said cheerfully.
"Is there someone named Su Mu in your bureau?" Boss Lu asked.
Fang Haotian was startled: "Yes, what's the matter? Boss Lu knows him?"
Mr. Lu couldn't help smiling bitterly and said, "I don't know him, but my daughter does. I hope Fang Bureau can let Su Mu also participate in this case. Well, to put it bluntly, I want to see his attitude!"
Fang Haotian immediately looked at Mr. Lu in surprise.
Seeing Fang Haotian's strange expression, Mr. Lu couldn't help asking: "What's wrong, Fang Ju, what did I say wrong?"
"Oh, it's nothing!" Fang Haotian looked at Boss Lu for a while, and then, after Boss Lu asked again and again, he told the truth: "The master detective I mentioned just now is Su Mu, whom your daughter knows. When you said you wanted to reopen the case, I I decided to let him take charge of the case, but I didn't expect you to let him participate in the case!"
Boss Lu was surprised: "Let Su Mu take charge of this case? Isn't he young...? I just need him to participate, don't miss the important task of solving the case!"
Fang Haotian said nothing, took out a stack of documents from the drawer, and handed it to Mr. Lu.
Mr. Lu took the documents suspiciously, and flipped through them one by one. The more he looked at them, the more surprised he became on his face. After flipping through, he looked up at Fang Haotian in astonishment: "These are really the rewards Su Mu got for solving the case?"
Fang Haotian nodded affirmatively.
Mr. Lu was speechless for a moment, and after a while he murmured: "It seems that I have to re-examine this sumu!"
Chapter 103 Taste
Seeing Mr. Lu's hesitant expression, Fang Haotian immediately said: "Well, if you really don't trust Su Mu, I will ask Zhao Qiang to cooperate with him in the investigation. Zhao Qiang was also involved in the case back then, so he is familiar with the situation."
Boss Lu nodded in agreement.
The next day, when Su Mu was still asleep, he was woken up by a phone call.
When Su Mu saw that it was the deputy director Zhao Qiang calling, he hurriedly got up and connected the phone.
"Hello, Bureau Zhao?"
Zhao Qiang's voice came from the other end immediately: "Xiao Su, you are still sleeping, don't sleep, there is a case for you to participate in, you come to the Municipal Bureau immediately, we will wait for you in the conference room on the second floor."
"Okay, I'll be there soon!"
He agreed with his mouth, hung up the phone, put on his clothes, washed up indiscriminately, and hurried out to the city bureau.
Shan Ling had just returned from buying fried dough sticks and soy milk, when she saw Su Mu running out in a hurry, she asked, "Xiao Mu, where are you going?"
"Go to work, there is a case where the chief asked me to participate!" Su Mu said, riding a shared bicycle and rushing out of the alley in an instant.
Shan Ling asked Su Jianguo who was sitting on the sofa drinking tea strangely: "Didn't Xiao Mu take half a month off? Why didn't he take a day off to handle the case?"
Su Jianguo said with a smile: "A capable son like us, how can the city bureau lose him in a day, I'm just worried..."
Shan Ling nodded in agreement: "Yes, I am also worried that Xiao Mu's body will not be able to bear it, after all, the work intensity is too great!"
Su Jianguo swallowed a sip of tea with a "gudong" sound: "With our son's body as strong as a cow, he can't stand this kind of work? I'm just worried that if Xiaomu is missing from the Municipal Bureau, how will the work be carried out?!"
Then he sighed, as if worried about the future of Jiangbin Municipal Bureau.
Seeing her husband being funny, Shan Ling couldn't help but glared at him: "I talk nonsense all day long, so who is missing from the big city bureau, and the work is still going on as usual?!"
"That's not necessarily the case. Xiaomu is now the city bureau's pinnacle of the sea. Without him, the city bureau will not be a big mess!" Su Jianguo said, shaking his head.
"I'm too lazy to talk to you!" Shan Ling put the soybean milk on the table, but brought the fried dough sticks into the kitchen.
"Where's the fritters?" Su Jianguo couldn't help shouting.
"For Xiaomu's supper, you eat steamed buns!" Shan Ling replied angrily.
When Su Mu rushed to the meeting room on the second floor of the Municipal Bureau, there were already several people sitting in the meeting room.
Among them were Fang Haotian, the head of the Municipal Bureau, Zhao Qiang, the deputy director, several comrades from the criminal police team, and finally an elegant middle-aged man in a suit.
"Xiao Su is here, sit down!" Fang Haotian warmly greeted Su Mu to sit down when he saw Su Mu come in.
After Su Mu sat down, he found that the elegant man on the opposite side had been staring at him.
Out of politeness, he smiled at the man.
The man smiled back and nodded.
"Come on, let me introduce you, Xiao Su, this is Lu Yiming from Jinghai City, the boss of a large company, Mr. Lu, this is the director of the case, Su Musu!"
Fang Haotian smiled and introduced the two of them.
Su Mu stood up and reached out to shake hands with Lu Yiming on the opposite side. Lu Yiming said politely: "This time the case is with the Laosu Office!"
Seeing that the other party was the boss of the company, Su Mu was very polite, so he smiled and said, "We should do it, Mr. Lu, you are being polite!"
Since Su Mu came in, Lu Yiming has been observing him, and found that although Su Mu is young, he is very measured in dealing with others, neither arrogant nor submissive, everything is just natural.
Immediately, he couldn't help but nodded secretly: "No wonder the girl looks at him differently, it's really not easy!"
"Now that everyone is here, let's sit down and formally discuss the case. I've sent someone over the case file!"
After Fang Haotian asked everyone to sit down, he first introduced the case in person.
"This case happened 12 years ago, and the victim is Mr. Lu's wife, Duan Xinyi..."
A trace of sadness appeared on Lu Yiming's face.
"Back then, Mr. Lu's wife, Duan Xinyi, came back to Jiangbin from Jinghai City to visit relatives. When she got out of the car, she found two people beating an old man. Out of kindness, Duan Xinyi stepped forward to persuade her, but she unexpectedly angered a gangster. Just stab Duan Xinyi with a knife, and Duan Xinyi dies on the spot!"
