Jianning Municipal Bureau of Investigation.
"She said the police wouldn't be able to catch me, and then she jumped. I was already prepared for her to commit suicide, so I grabbed her arm. Who knew that she would pull me into the river? How could I be dragged by a little girl like her? When I saw her fall into the river, I could only jump into the water to rescue her … "
Several experts from the Provincial Directorate sat behind a long table. In front of each of them were papers, pens, and teacups. Their faces were obscured by the smoke from the cigarette smoke.
"Rescue?" Wei Yao, as the person directly in charge, sat in the middle of the long table. He faced Yan Ji and said coldly, "From the time the suspect fell into the water to the time the search team arrived, you were out of contact for more than an hour. Rescue would take that long?"
Sitting in a chair in the middle of the room, Yan Xue wore a light blue uniform, which was a rare sight. His police uniform was as good as new, and on his shoulder was the symbol of a Level 3 Lieutenant with a four-pointed star. On his belt was a shiny police badge. In stark contrast, his face had not been shaved for a few days. Although he was sitting upright, his expression was not as respectful and serious. It was even a little indifferent.
"I've said it many times, Chief Wei. It really would take that long. Do you know how fast the water flows in the Sanli River? Even people who are used to swimming in the wild might not dare to go there. Plus, the undercurrent is complicated, the river is winding, the person being rescued is not cooperative, and the water temperature is so low at night. Do you really think I'm swimming back and forth in the swimming pool for fifty meters and then going ashore so easily? "
Deputy Bureau Chief Wei slammed the teacup on the table. "You little —"
The expert from the Provincial Directorate coughed.
"You little brat." Wei Yao gently finished the last few words. He gritted his teeth and said, "Then why didn't you report to the command center when you found Bu Wei by the river? Why didn't you ask for backup through the radio before entering the water? "
"I really didn't have time, Chief!" Yan Ji's face was full of sincerity as he said, "When Bu Wei was discovered, she was very agitated, so I could only try to calm her down as soon as possible. If I had reported this to the command center, she might not have even told me about the case and just jumped. After that, when I saw her jump into the river, I hurriedly took off my pants and shoes and went into the water to rescue her. Indeed, I didn't have time to go back to the car to get the walkie-talkie … Ultimately, it's my fault. I was too inexperienced and panicked. I'm willing to accept the organization's education and punishment. "
Deputy Bureau Chief Wei said angrily, "What's the use of educating you now? I've already said that you're not allowed to handle a case alone. You're not allowed to handle a case alone! How many rules have you violated in this case? Do you think you can still educate them all? "
Another expert from the Provincial Directorate tried to smooth things over. "Hey, Old Wei, don't hit Flaming Fire. That's the rule, but we all know what it's like to be on the frontline … "
Yan Ji leaned back in his chair, relaxed. While the other leaders from the Provincial Directorate lowered their heads or looked elsewhere, he quickly and secretly made a face at Deputy Bureau Chief Wei.
"You!" Deputy Bureau Chief Wei was so angry that he almost fainted.
"I know, I know." Yan Ji immediately followed up. "I violated the rules and regulations. I'm willing to accept any investigation and punishment."
Wei Yao took a deep breath and was about to continue playing the bad cop when the door suddenly opened. Director Lu and another white-haired old leader walked in, carrying a large teapot of wolfberry.
"Director Liu is here." The other experts from the Provincial Directorate stood up solemnly. "Director Liu!"
"Hey, Director Liu! … "
If there were still people muttering in their hearts just now, they were really convinced now. No wonder the old man surnamed Wei from the Bureau of Jianning City was all bark and no bite. They had held a few rounds of the joint hearing, but there was no mention of any punishment at all. It was good that he was reincarnated. He was the only son of the richest man in the country. Even if he violated the rules, Director Liu of the Provincial Party Committee would personally come down …
"Let's go back and talk. Let's go for a drink some other day." Director Lu smiled and sent the experts to the door. He signaled Deputy Bureau Chief Wei to send them off and then closed the door.
With a click, only Yan Ji, Director Liu, and himself were left in the small conference room.
"Speak." Director Lu slowly turned back and said, "Your father told Director Liu that you've been writing a ten-thousand-word reflection paper at home these two days. You're meticulous and you've memorized it. Come, recite it for us. "
Yan Ji didn't dare to slouch in his chair anymore. He quickly stood up and said, "Director Liu, Director Lu. I'm really sorry. When I was handling the case, I ignored the rules and regulations of the organization. My improper handling during a critical moment shows that I'm not good at studying discipline … "
"Okay, okay, okay. I'll recite it now. " Director Liu smiled bitterly and waved her hand to stop him. "Little Yan, you're young, but you've been handling cases for more than ten years. How could you make such a basic mistake?"
Yan Ji smiled apologetically and didn't mention it.
"Fortunately, this case hasn't been announced to the public yet. Bu Wei doesn't have any family members. Otherwise, it would be difficult to control the public opinion if a minor jumped into the river to escape punishment. There's also no law enforcement camera. If we run into an even more troublesome situation, we will be led to believe that the suspect is an underage girl and that Yan Su is a single police officer who went out alone. Heh. "Director Liu pointed at Director Lu and pointed twice in the air." Then it will be troublesome! "
Director Lu immediately pointed at Yan Ji and pointed twice without hesitation. Director Liu couldn't scold Yan Ji directly, so she could only use Director Lu as a middleman. The three of them formed a perfect rock-paper-scissors relationship.
"Fortunately, we have a complete chain of evidence," Director Lu said. "Fan Wu and his accomplices confessed to two crimes. First, he was hired by Wang Xingye to kill the victim, Li Yuxin. Second, he was cornered by the police and knew that his cousin, Fan Zhengyuan, had 250,000 yuan in cash, so he took the risk to come back and steal it. In the end, Yan Ji happened to bump into him. In addition, Bu Wei's fingerprints were extracted from Fan Zhengyuan's bag of cash. The handwriting analysis was also completely matched. This can prove Fan Wu's confession that Fan Zhengyuan was hired to kill someone … "
"Old Lu is really good at doing things." Director Liu nodded and praised, "Even if this file is sent to the Procuratorate, they won't be able to say anything."
Director Lu waved his hand.
"But there's still something I don't understand." Director Liu frowned as she pondered. "Who do you think the little girl gave 250,000 yuan to Fan Zhengyuan to assassinate?"
Yan Ji suddenly looked up.
Sure enough, Director Lu also nodded heavily. "It's hard to say. Among the series of crimes Fan Zhengyuan committed, the only one we know is that he attacked Yan Ji with a gun and was then strangled to death. His body was exposed and crushed on the highway. But if we conclude that Bu Wei or Wang Xingye ordered him to assassinate Yan Ji based on this, it seems a little far-fetched. "
Of course, it wasn't to assassinate Yan Ji.
The target of Bu Wei's jealousy was Jiang Stops.
