Lu Yiwei walked to Dongjiang Park near the neighborhood and saw an off-road police car parked on the side of the road. He looked around, lowered his head, and quickly got into the car.
A man sat in the backseat and extended his hand. "Hello, Secretary Lu. I'm Liao Cheng."
Lu Yiwei looked up and sized him up. He was about the same age as him and looked quite familiar. It seemed like he had seen him somewhere before. He shook hands and said, "Hello, nice to meet you."
Liao Cheng looked back and said to the driver. "Drive. Avoid the main road and use the smaller roads."
On the way, Liao Cheng took out a police uniform and handed it to Lu Yiwei. "Secretary Lu, due to the special circumstances, the way we meet is not normal. Put on this uniform. Someone will receive you when you arrive at the detention center. Go through the main entrance and stop at the backyard. Don't panic and don't talk to anyone. If anyone asks you, just say you are from the Provincial Procuratorate. I don't think anyone will ask you. "
"Your current identity is Wang Zhiguo, the Director of the Provincial Procuratorate's Anti-corruption Bureau. You are here to supplement the investigation of Guo Jinzhu's case. This is a briefcase containing the relevant documents from the Provincial Procuratorate. There is a work ID in the pocket. Hand it to the officer on duty when you enter and follow the officer to the surveillance area. Don't be nervous. No one will notice you. He will bring you to the interrogation room. Secretary Guo Jinzhu is waiting there. "
"There are two police officers accompanying you. They will stand on your left and right. Both of them have been arranged in advance. Be careful when you speak and don't ask any sensitive questions. Secretary Guo should know about this. Also, there are six cameras in the room. Don't aim at any of them. I have arranged for special treatment for this period of time. Do you understand what I'm saying? "
Lu Yiwei was stunned. The more he listened, the more he felt something was wrong. Why did he feel like he was in a movie? Every scene was meticulously designed, seamless, and interconnected. He asked doubtfully. "Director Wang didn't tell me about this meeting in advance."
Liao Cheng's expression was solemn as he said, "This kind of matter must not be leaked at all. I can only tell you after seeing you. I understand your concerns. Don't worry, I've already prepared everything in advance. Every step has been carefully deliberated. There won't be any mistakes. This case has always been handled by Wang Zhiguo. He also knows that you are going to see Secretary Guo tonight, so don't worry, I will ensure your safety. "
"What if something goes wrong?"
"There are no ifs! If anything happens, everyone involved in this matter will be implicated, including Director Wang, Wang Zhiguo, and me. In order to organize this meeting, I've been planning for a month in advance. I've done more than ten visits and spent a lot of effort to clear up the connections. There is only one purpose, and that is to fulfill Secretary Guo's last wish. "
Lu Yiwei was extremely nervous. He had never done something like this before. He felt like he was committing a crime. Just as he said, once the matter was exposed, no one would be able to escape. The question was, was it worth the risk? Also, why did it have to be him?
Liao Cheng saw his nervousness and said, "Secretary Lu, this meeting wasn't supposed to be with you, but with Director Zhang Zhiyuan. However, he gave up after careful consideration. It was understandable. His identity was sensitive, and if there was a mistake, it was likely to involve the relevant provincial leaders. You, on the other hand, are relatively far away from the center of politics, so you won't attract too much attention. Of course, your identity is also sensitive. The problem is that Secretary Guo specifically wants to see you and him. "
Lu Yiwei didn't expect Zhang Zhiyuan to give up. He recalled the phone call last night and seemed to understand something. If he gave up now, it was not too late. This was tantamount to entering the tiger's den. If this matter was exposed, his political career would be completely destroyed. Also, what did Guo Jinzhu want to say? Why did he have to choose this time …
"Secretary Lu, hurry up and put on your clothes. We'll be there soon."
Under Liao Cheng's repeated urging, Lu Yiwei made a decision. He quickly took off his coat and put on his police uniform. He adjusted his police cap and took a deep breath. His eyes were like torches, as if he was going to the battlefield. His life depended on fate.
The lights suddenly dimmed. The car turned into a small road and turned on the high beams. A few hundred meters ahead was the big iron gate. Two armed police officers stood next to the gate. Rings of barbed wire were hanging on the wall, and two searchlights were sweeping back and forth at the highest point. It looked like a blockbuster movie on TV.
When they were almost in front of the gate, Lu Yiwei's heart beat faster, and his hands kept shaking. He was afraid that he would be exposed. At this time, Liao Cheng pressed on his arm and gave him a look to calm down. He lowered his voice and said, "We're here. Later, show me your ID. I'll get off first and wait for you at the turn in front. Remember, don't take too long. "
After that, the car stopped. Liao Cheng jumped out of the car and got into another black car parked on the side of the road. The driver turned around and nodded. "Secretary Lu, we're almost there. Get ready."
The car stopped in front of the detention center. The police officers on duty waved their hands to stop. Lu Yiwei quickly adjusted his emotions. The driver had already rolled down the window. The police officers walked in front of him. He calmly took out his ID from his pocket and handed it over. The police officers opened the ID and looked at the photo. He returned the ID and gestured to the duty room. The heavy iron gate slowly opened.
After the car entered, it went around the small road and stopped in front of a door. There was a man standing there facing the car. Lu Yiwei closed his eyes and took a deep breath. He opened the door and got out of the car. Just as he was about to extend his hand, the man stood at attention and saluted. "Welcome, Director Wang."
Only then did Lu Yiwei realize his identity. He learned to salute. He held the briefcase and nodded without saying a word.
Under the lead of the man, Lu Yiwei passed through the long and narrow corridor. It looked like he had walked more than ten meters, but it felt like he had walked a few hundred meters. His footsteps were heavy and messy. The oppressive atmosphere in the corridor made it hard for him to breathe. Fortunately, he had been dealing with the police for many years. He had slowly learned how to behave, so he could deal with it.
When they came to a metal door, the man communicated with the two police officers inside. The metal door opened, and the two kept staring at him. Lu Yiwei looked forward with a serious expression and steady steps. He slowly walked to the interrogation room.
