The next morning, at a quarter past ten, the Central Criminal Division's spacious conference room was filled with people, but it was dead silent. Everyone was holding their breaths as they listened to the speaker on the podium.
The speaker was Zhao Yu, who was telling everyone about the scene that he had solved in the Headless Female Corpses Case.
"At that time, the gasoline was all over the floor. When Li Fei saw Ran Tao and I barging into the house, he lit his lighter and threw it on the floor!" Zhao Yu's story was thrilling, which made the atmosphere in the room tense. "Then, the fire started to burn! At that time, my heart turned cold, and I thought, It's over, it's over! It doesn't matter that Li Fei burned himself, but the key is that the truth of the case will probably never come to light! "
"Alright! So be it! "Zhao Yu patted his chest and said," Even if I were to be burned to death, I would accept it! After all, I was a criminal police officer who risked his life to find the truth! Who else could be so dedicated and respectful to such an extent? Hehe … "
"But then again, the fire was already on fire, so I didn't have much time to think about it. I was just making things up! As soon as Li Fei threw the lighter away, I threw myself at him and rolled to the other side of the room.
"Let me tell you the truth! At that time, there was gasoline on Li Fei's body, too, so it was already burning. My clothes were on fire too! My life was hanging by a thread, and I had a slim chance of survival. Even I was feeling hopeless! But, who knew that I wasn't fated to die? The fire ignited the gasoline barrel, and it exploded! "
"Bang …" Along with Zhao Yu's gestures, the audience exclaimed in surprise.
"The fire that soared to the sky instantly swallowed the whole room. I hugged Li Fei and closed my eyes, thinking that my life was over. I thought that I would never be able to contribute to the people in my beloved criminal investigation job ever again! But, hehe … After the gasoline barrel exploded, it instantly burned the air in the room and extinguished the fire on both of us! "
I reacted very quickly and quickly pulled Li Fei out of the house! At this time, da da da … It was my team's turn. Wu Xiumin was quick-witted and took two fire extinguishers from the car and sprayed them. Aiya … I was so happy … Then, our comrade Ran Tao handcuffed Li Fei. Finally, the suspect, Li Fei, is alive … "
Wow …
Hearing that Zhao Yu was out of danger, everyone heaved a sigh of relief. After a few seconds, they couldn't help but clap for Zhao Yu.
"You don't have to admire me. The people's police work for the people. Actually, this is what we, the criminal police, should do!" Zhao Yu said humorously. "To be honest, without the bottomless support of the higher-ups, I would have been in trouble. Without the cooperation of the local police! Without the selfless dedication of my beloved teammates! How can I, Zhao Yu, solve such a big case! So, let's give them a round of applause! "
With Zhao Yu's flattery, there was another round of thunderous applause! When the higher-ups on the podium heard this, they smiled and nodded. For a police detective like Zhao Yu, who was capable and humorous, it was hard to come by.
"But, don't forget about me. I, Zhao Yu, also contributed a lot!" When Zhao Yu got to the point where he was excited, he asked the leaders in front of everyone, "Leaders, is it possible for me to become a full-time employee?"
When Zhao Yu said this, everyone burst into laughter. The higher-ups on the podium were also grinning from ear to ear. The director even gave Zhao Yu an 'OK' sign!
Then, it was time for questions and answers. Facing the reporters' questions about the case, Zhao Yu's answers were even more witty and unrestrained. This caused the crowd to burst into laughter. The atmosphere was lively, but it didn't lose its decorum. Hence, it deepened Zhao Yu's impression in front of the public.
"Police Officer Zhao, when Li Fei confessed the case, what did you think? Was it the same as the police's prediction? "A long-haired female reporter asked.
"I don't know if it was the same or not, but I only had one thought at that time!" Zhao Yu winked at the beauty. "After solving this case, I can accept an interview with a beauty like you! Sis, do you mind leaving me your WeChat? "
"…"
"Police Officer Zhao, how did you get the injury on your face?" The reporter asked again. "Is it related to the Headless Female Corpses Case?"
"Oh, that's because I was arrogant and wanted Division Chief Jiao to give me a raise. She didn't agree, so she slapped me!" Zhao Yu answered without hesitation. Then, he laughed while the reporters were still confused. "Hehehe, I'm just kidding. I took over a major case yesterday, and I got the injury when I was fighting with the bandits! Don't worry, the bandits were in a much worse state than me. His face and the pig's head were definitely indistinguishable … "
"…"
Just like that, Zhao Yu turned on his shameless mode and completed the grand press conference in a colorful and bizarre manner. Then, he successfully became the most eye-catching star in the room.
The influence of the Headless Female Corpses Case was unparalleled, and it could be said to be the first in the country! So, if he could solve this case, Zhao Yu was destined to achieve great success and fame. All of a sudden, various media outlets reported on it, and Zhao Yu's name spread throughout the country overnight.
After the press conference, the Criminal Division specially arranged an internal celebration for Zhao Yu and the Special Investigation Group to be commended and rewarded. At the meeting, the director highly praised the outstanding performance of Zhao Yu and the others. Not only did he promise to reward them on the spot, but he also personally promised that Zhao Yu and the others would be promoted to regular employees.
For the leaders of the Criminal Division, getting Zhao Yu was like picking up a treasure!
Zhao Yu's performance could no longer be described as outstanding. Ever since he had joined the special investigation group as the team leader, he had solved four major cases in just a few months. Such an outstanding performance was unprecedented, and he had broken several records in the Criminal Division. His achievements were remarkable and eye-catching!
In fact, in addition to the Hasty Murder Case, the Headless Female Corpses Case, the Gem Theft Case, and the Island Murder Case, Zhao Yu had also done another important thing that made the leaders think highly of him. That was, the confidential documents that he had accidentally obtained in New Zealand.
In fact, Zhao Yu's achievements in New Zealand were no less than those of the cases he had solved. The documents that he had obtained had even affected the progress of the entire country's business strategy. Such an achievement had been elevated to the height of winning glory for the country, and it couldn't be compared to solving the cases!
However, because the matter was classified as top secret, only a few leaders in the Criminal Division knew about it, so it couldn't be announced to the public. So, the director only revealed some relevant rewards to Zhao Yu secretly, but didn't make it too public.
After the victory conference, it was time for the celebration banquet. However, such a high-standard celebration banquet was different from the ones Zhao Yu had seen in Qinshan. At the banquet, almost no one moved their chopsticks to eat, and there was no drinking competition. Everyone just happily clinked their glasses and talked about some trifling matters in the officialdom. All they said to each other was polite.
Although Zhao Yu tried to lighten the atmosphere with jokes, he was not familiar with the leaders, and he had a different sense of humor. So, in the end, he failed, which made Zhao Yu feel very bored.
However, this was only the beginning of his boredom. Ever since the press conference, Zhao Yu had been immersed in official social engagements for the next few days. Interviews, interviews with police officers, meetings with various leaders, reports, lectures to the police academy students, and introductions to the frontline criminal police officers. Then, there were banquets after banquets.
Gradually, Zhao Yu no longer felt bored, but rather, he felt like he was going crazy!
In order to avoid these social engagements, he submitted several reports to his superiors, wanting to continue to lead the team to investigate the Devil Case in Beiqian. However, all of his reports were rejected by Division Chief Jiao!
Zhao Yu couldn't understand, so he went to talk to Division Chief Jiao. But, Division Chief Jiao took the opportunity to give him a life lesson. She taught Zhao Yu that he shouldn't be too full of himself, and that he should leave some leeway for others. Otherwise, he would offend others!
Zhao Yu was even more puzzled. He didn't understand why he would offend people when he wanted to solve a case.
Division Chief Jiao casually quoted an old saying to Zhao Yu, "The song 'Spring in the Sun' has a good ending. It's hard to live up to its reputation! "
"Oh … I see!" Zhao Yu nodded as if he had understood something. After nodding for a long time, he said solemnly, "What do you mean?"
