Xu Cheng took a puff, stared at the people from the Criminal Investigation Department, and waved his hand. "Okay, go back. You guys looking at me like that makes me feel like monkeys in the zoo, like I did something shameless. I still like it when you guys look at me with admiration."
Everyone burst out laughing.
"You guys can go back now. I just missed you guys, so I came in to see you guys," Xu Cheng joked.
Only then did everyone bitterly smile and disperse.
Ran Jing stayed behind to look at Xu Cheng and said, "Don't worry, everyone will keep an eye on this case, and we won't let some bugs mess around."
Xu Cheng nodded. "That's what a good police officer should be. Don't worry, I'll stay here for a couple of days to calm down."
Wu Gang and Li Chao directly put down their cases and went to follow up on Xu Cheng's case.
Li Wei's mother hosted the deputy director at the Li Family's mansion.
"It's been a while since you came over." Mrs. Li smiled and made tea for the deputy director.
"It's because Mr. Li is usually too busy to bother you." The deputy director had a big smile on his face.
"You can come over more often if you have nothing to do." Mrs. Li smiled.
"Huh, where's Young Master Li?" the deputy director asked curiously.
"Sigh." Mrs. Li sighed. "He's in the hospital, and he got beaten up last night. Look at him, he's such a good kid, and he didn't even say anything. As his parent, I'm always worried that the person who beat him up was that Xu Cheng. That's why I asked you to arrest him."
"What the hell? You think beating someone up is reasonable? Mrs. Li, don't worry. Wait a second, which Xu Cheng are you talking about? "
Mrs. Li was surprised. "Is there another Xu Cheng you know?"
The deputy director wanted to say something but hesitated. "There is indeed a Xu Cheng I know. He used to be a police officer, but he resigned and went back to the military."
Mrs. Li frowned. "Then it should be the same person. I think he's better at fighting. You mean, it's impossible for me to convict him?"
The deputy director was a bit hesitant. "How long do you want to lock him up for, Mrs. Li?"
Mrs. Li coughed. "If he's willing to apologize to my son, then according to the procedure, he will be released when the time is up. If he's not willing, then I want him to be beaten up the same way my son was beaten up. You guys can decide if you want to release him or not. "
The deputy director said awkwardly, "Wait a minute, let me confirm the person."
Then, he made a call, and after asking for a bit, he hung up the phone. With a troubled look on his face, he said, "I know Xu Cheng's personality. He's amenable to coaxing but not coercion. Apologizing might not be possible, but if you want him to get beaten up in jail, it would be equally difficult for me."
Mrs. Li narrowed her eyes. "Why?"
Deputy Director: "Madam, you might not know this, but this Xu Cheng is the person in charge of the North Gate and West Gate cases. I think you've heard about the two Gates getting wiped out. Although he resigned, he still has some prestige in the police department, and the officers in the Criminal Investigation Department have a special relationship with him. If I rashly execute him in jail, those guys will probably cause a scene."
Mrs. Li's face flashed with a hint of displeasure. "Deputy Chief, is my son going to be beaten up for nothing? You have to remember how you got your seat today. "
The deputy director awkwardly said, "I know. It's because I just got promoted that I can't cause any trouble. Madam, you might not know this, but the previous director, the current mayor, is very fond of Xu Cheng. I'm afraid it won't be easy for him. After all, Xu Cheng is from the police department, and we have to be more strict with his cases. If we just let him off the hook, it might not be in line with the rules. "
Mrs. Li's tone became more serious. "Deputy Chief Zheng, do you want me to call my husband right now and ask him to come talk to you about this?"
Deputy Chief Zheng: "Um …"
After Mrs. Li calmed down a bit, she refilled his cup of tea and said, "Don't worry, the Li Family will keep an eye on you."
Deputy Chief Zheng sighed. "I know. But Madam, if someone else intervenes, then there's nothing we can do."
Mrs. Li nodded. "If someone else intervenes, I have other means. I want you to do something tonight."
It wasn't like the Li Family didn't have any connections with the higher-ups.
Deputy Chief Zheng nodded.
– At night –
In the cell, a few repeat offenders were taking a nap. At this moment, a police officer came over and said to them, "Do you guys want to get out early?"
These repeat offenders were all former thugs at North Gate. These past few days, they really couldn't get out of here, so their old habits resurfaced. They wanted to get out early. They all woke up and looked at the police officer.
"There's a troublemaker next door who doesn't want to plead guilty, but the police can't beat him up. You guys know what I mean, right?"
The few of them immediately nodded. "Got it. Do you want him to lose an arm or a leg or something?"
Police Officer: "No need, just leave him with a bloody nose and a swollen face."
The habitual criminals were overjoyed. "Deal!"
The police officer said to them, "In a bit, I will lock you guys up in his cell. You can come up with whatever excuses you want. When you guys are done, I will come over and send you guys away. Remember, it's just a lesson."
The repeat offenders nodded and walked over excitedly. "Hurry up."
The police officer opened the cell door and brought the four repeat offenders to Xu Cheng's cell.
Xu Cheng was sleeping flat on his back, covering his head with his jacket so that the light above his head wouldn't hurt his eyes.
At this moment, the police officer came over and opened the door, shouting, "I'm warning you guys, don't mess around. Just stay here for two days and you can get out."
The four repeat offenders nodded. "Got it, Sir."
After the police officer locked them up, he locked the cell door, and then signaled them with his eyes, telling them to hurry up. Then, he walked away.
The four repeat offenders all came to Xu Cheng's side, and one of them intentionally spat at Xu Cheng.
He spat on Xu Cheng's jacket.
Then, the four of them stared at Xu Cheng's actions. Xu Cheng was still lying down, but his voice came over and asked, "Who's still spitting? Come over and add more."
"Sorry, I didn't know there was someone lying here," the guy who spat said and spat again.
This time, Xu Cheng directly sat up straight and looked down at his jacket. The four of them couldn't see Xu Cheng's face clearly under the dim light.
But when Xu Cheng raised his eyes and looked at the four of them, the four of them were so shocked that they directly fell backwards.
They would never forget this face even if they were beaten to death!
Police Tiger!
The four repeat offenders who were surrounding Xu Cheng just now were like mice that saw a cat. They all turned around and grabbed onto the bars, shouting, "What the f * ck, are you f * cking tricking us? What crime did we commit that you want us to die like this? "
Xu Cheng's death-like voice sounded, "Who's still spitting? Ask me again."
"Me, me, me!" The guy who spat slid in front of Xu Cheng.
Xu Cheng handed him his jacket. "Add more!"
"Yes, Sir!"
