The impromptu meeting ended and the night was getting late.
Yan Zhiyuan finally said that the manpower in Changqing City was not so scarce that it was necessary to deploy the police officers from Yuzhou City who traveled long distances for business trips and then had to hold meetings and discussions to work overtime in the middle of the night.
So after handing over the important evidence, everyone was placed in the hotel and the follow-up arrangements would be made the next day. However, Lu Yao approached Shao Zi and quietly wondered why they didn't just hold the meeting at the Changqing City Bureau or the guest house, which made the latter a little dumbfounded.
Seeing his hesitation, Lu Yao immediately understood the situation, "Does this mean that Senior Brother Yan came to us for a meeting, but it was not the intention of the Changqing Municipal Bureau?"
"Don't make blind guesses..."
Shao Zi was a little embarrassed. His apprentice was a bit confused at the beginning, only focusing on the case and not considering other trivial matters. Now he is becoming more and more aware of the tricks within the police station and can no longer hide it.
"Don't make wild guesses, just don't think about it, don't think that what I said is fine. If there is a problem, Brother Shao, you should just tell me to shut up."
Lu Yao crossed his arms and squinted his eyes, then shook his head pretending to be profound, and changed the subject again.
"But I guess it's not a bad thing. You should have discussed it and came here specifically to ventilate yourself in advance - Senior Brother Yan also emphasized in the meeting just now that not all police officers from the Changqing City Bureau know about this matter. Keep it secret, keep it secret, it means to be honest and don’t say that he came to say hello.”
"You are the only one who is smart!"
Shao Zi felt ashamed, and after driving Lu Yao to the stairwell for a walk, he caught Yan Zhiyuan, a Yuzhou City police officer who was observing them outside the crowd, and watched them leave.
"Zhiyuan, how are you doing lately?"
Yan Zhiyuan shook his head with a calm expression.
Shaking your head means "not very good" and saying nothing means you can't mention it.
After the meeting ended, Yan Zhiyuan no longer needed to explain the details in a lengthy manner, so he returned to the state of being able to speak without speaking.
At the same time, Shao Zi also knew that his old colleague could not speak without saying anything, and would never tell a show of lies, so he sighed, patted him on the shoulder, and took him aside to talk.
"You should already know about Li Ming. We met him on the plane. Although most of the Yuzhou City police officers now know that there is something wrong with the person we are trying to catch, they don't know who he is."
In any case, the arrest of a criminal of this level in Lai Ming is definitely a great achievement. But under Liang An's instructions, although Shao Zi learned about the incident like Song Qiaoyu, he did not tell anyone else.
Including Lin Yun.
——Although he personally has some doubts, the extremely shrewd captain of the team who suddenly gave orders on the plane may have known the truth to some extent, but did not interfere.
"I know," Yan Zhiyuan sighed slightly, "but catching and confirming are two different things."
Although he was not involved in the incident on the plane at all, he must have been busy with special cases overseas. To be able to speak like this, Yan Zhiyuan must have gotten a lot of information and guessed more things.
Shao Zi's eyes flickered, and he finally couldn't help but say what he had wanted to ask a long time ago.
"Bai Chen's arrest in Changqing City was part of his plan. We all know this. He chose this time. I think it's because he wanted to confirm one thing - no matter what, the best thing to do is Just don’t meet him.”
Yan Zhiyuan nodded without any further reaction. Seeing his reaction, Shao Zi was stunned, "Have Captain Liang told you in advance?"
"We have an independent set of rules." Yan Zhiyuan looked at him deeply and said the longest sentence that was outside the scope of his obligations, "Brother Shao, you really don't need to think too much."
Shao Zi once again confirmed that there was no one around, and gave him an indescribable look, "It's because I'm not as carefree as you people, right? It's amazing that being an orphan has such a use..."
Yan Zhiyuan didn't reply to his words, he just waved his hand to signal not to say anything more.
However, perhaps because of what happened during the day, Shao Zi followed closely.
"This matter would normally be negotiated by Liang An, but I want you to do it for me..." Shao Zi narrowed his eyes, "Has there been any change? Or maybe you suspect one of us."
"Just a precaution"
"Okay." Shao Zi accepted it, "You better not be too showy and pay attention to Xiao Lu - the one you introduced."
Yan Zhiyuan raised his eyebrows, finally showing that he had a headache, "...I'll remind the beam team."
Shao Zi also immediately understood that if he could directly push people into the third team, Yan Zhiyuan must have investigated some of Lu Yao's resume, and these people should have been prepared.
Because Yan Zhiyuan was forced to be transferred, the Yuzhou Municipal Bureau lost a central figure. Now it was difficult to find Lu Yao as a replacement, but you can't expect to be lucky enough to find a capable person and you still have a weak head - although at the beginning Lu Yao really acted like he didn't want to care about anything and just wanted to solve the case for fun.
"It's getting late, so let's not talk too much." Shao Zi thought about it and seemed to have nothing to ask even though he was kept in the dark. Liang An should have exchanged information with Yan Zhiyuan a long time ago, so he and Yan Zhiyuan Say goodbye, "Zhiyuan, tomorrow you..."
He said half a polite word, then suddenly paused, as if he thought of something again. Yan Zhiyuan didn't hear what was said and looked at him in confusion.
"It's nothing..." Shao Zi raised his hand halfway and then put it down even more awkwardly, and walked away quickly.
After the incident during the day, Shao Zi thought a lot and recalled some subtle details.
He originally wanted to take this opportunity to spy on one more thing, but then he realized that maybe this was something that people like Yan Zhiyuan and Liang An considered "inconvenient for others to know", and he had problems mentioning it.
But if he wants to know the truth, he also has some methods of his own.
Returning to the arranged hotel room, Shao Zi flipped through the photo album on his mobile phone for a long time and finally found a photo from a long time ago.
It was an old notebook, placed together with the evidence bag, and Shao Zi hastily took a photo of the last page, which had some blurred handwriting and was filled with messy words.
Shao Zi remembered that this was a clue left after he was transferred to the third team and became suspicious. Liang An was not the captain at that time, but the power he held was indeed too unusual, and it also played a very strange role in the case, which aroused his suspicion.
During an operation involving three teams, Liang An was injured while fighting with someone in a gangster's den and was sent to the hospital. Because it was a den, many messy objects were left at the scene for evidence collection.
At that time, Shao Zi only wore gloves to cooperate with the evidence collection, but accidentally discovered the notebook that was used as physical evidence. There was no words on the cover of the booklet. The reason why it was "used as" physical evidence was because the last page of the booklet that fell on the ground happened to be opened, and Shao Zi accidentally glanced at the contents.
On the last page, there are countless names with Liang as their surname, and many of them are circled, and even directly include the word "Liang An".
Knowing that there was something weird in the team, Shao Zi immediately took pictures and kept them for files. However, after that, Liang An, who was sent to the hospital, asked someone to help pick up his personal belongings and was temporarily cut off. However, the contents of a piece of paper left behind It is still saved on Shao Zi's mobile phone.
According to common sense, this seems to be just a record of naming a child. It may be a relic of Liang An's parents, and it is natural for him to be carried around.
But Shao Zi himself was more familiar with this kind of inspection technology, so he immediately noticed something strange - only a three-character name that could not be circled was written differently on the paper, but there were more nail scratches, as if he was trying his best to remove it. This part of the paper was erased, but he was reluctant to destroy the paper.
【Liang Bingguang】
This handwriting...
Recalling a series of events that happened in the past few months, and roughly recalling the date of the notebook's condition on the spot, Shao Zi closed his eyes, and another name immediately appeared in his mind.
