The next day, the sun was shining brightly and there were no clouds in the sky. The refreshing sea breeze blew from the Bohai Bay, and there was a faint smell of sea salt in the air.
Du Weiguo felt refreshed after a good night's sleep.
After washing and tidying up, Du Weiguo took a leisurely stroll and slowly went down to the cafeteria on the first floor to have breakfast.
The whole process was relaxed and comfortable, neither slow nor fast, just like on vacation, without any trace of anxiety.
The breakfast food was not bad. Du Weiguo was putting a piece of candied poached egg drizzled with soy sauce into his mouth when Lao Lei came over.
With a frown and a gloomy expression, he handed a telegram to Du Weiguo.
Du Weiguo took it, glanced at it casually, curled his lips disapprovingly, and put it away.
The content of the message is extremely simple, with only eight words:
"According to circumstances and doing things cheaply."
Damn it, isn’t this pure nonsense? That old thief Hu Fei is blatantly shirking responsibility.
Lao Lei stood in front of Du Weiguo, his teeth clenched, his expression changed several times, and finally he sat down next to Du Weiguo.
He picked up a white-flour steamed bun in an enamel basin and took a big bite. Then he picked up a chopstick of cucumber and pickles, chewing them crunchily.
Du Weiguo glanced at him with a smile and said in a teasing tone:
"Lao Lei, what's wrong? Have you figured it out and are not in a hurry?"
Lao Lei's mouth was full and his words were slurred:
"Well, I've figured it out. I'm just going to ask the Emperor not to be in a hurry. If the eunuch is in a hurry, I won't care. Just do as you like."
Du Weiguo stood up and scooped out a bowl of thin stick noodle porridge for him, then put a poached egg in front of him and said with a smile:
"Come! Have a sip of porridge, I said, Lao Lei, you are right to think so. This bullshit case is like a fire. If the sky falls, there will naturally be someone tall to hold it back. We are so anxious!
It's time to eat and drink. Bincheng won't share clues about the case with us, so we just treat it as a trip at public expense. How nice. "
Lao Lei didn't say anything, with a dark face, he picked up the bowl, drank a big mouthful of paste, and then gnawed on the steamed buns.
He gnashed his teeth viciously, as if he wanted to spread all the anger in his heart on the buns.
Du Weiguo knew that he was dissatisfied, so he was too lazy to vent his anger and ate breakfast slowly and calmly.
After breakfast, Du Weiguo came to the doorstep of the guest house and sat down, basking in the sun and lighting a cigarette.
With a leisurely look, as if he was really on vacation, Lao Lei's face was ashen, and he and Gou Sheng were standing behind Du Weiguo.
Standing and squatting, just like the two generals, Du Weiguo hasn't finished smoking a cigarette.
"Squeak~"
Suddenly, there was a particularly harsh sound of braking at the door of the City Bureau Guest House.
Du Weiguo's eyes flashed, he stood up slowly, threw away the cigarette butt in his hand, and without even looking back, ordered softly:
"Jiansheng, let everyone pack their luggage and equipment immediately and get ready to go."
"yes!"
The dog replied with the remaining consciousness, hesitated for a moment, turned around and ran away.
A burst of hurried footsteps came from outside the guest house. Director Pan trotted over at the lead, with beads of sweat on his forehead and an anxious tone:
"Du Chu, something happened. At 4 o'clock this morning, our comrades were ambushed while chasing the suspect to the Xiongyue County section of the road."
Du Weiguo's face was expressionless and he sighed secretly:
"Director Pan, have you notified the surrounding municipal bureaus and reported the situation to the province as soon as possible?"
Director Pan's face suddenly turned red and his tone was hesitant:
"Uh, Du Chu, I just came back from the scene, and it's not working time yet, so~"
Du Weiguo's face suddenly darkened, his eyes became extremely sharp, and the calm demeanor he had been trying to maintain before was instantly gone.
Damn it, bureaucracy really kills people, these guys who are clinging to their old ways and only covering their heads when something goes wrong should be damned!
Du Weiguo's tone became harsh:
"I don't have time to listen to your nonsense. When exactly did the battle take place? How many people were on the other side? What equipment? What means of transportation were used? In which direction did they escape?"
Director Pan swallowed subconsciously and answered bravely:
"The time was approximately 4:15, and the known weapons were grenades and M3 submachine guns. As for other weapons, I'm not sure.
The number of the opponent is initially estimated to be more than 6. The means of transportation are unclear. The general direction of escape is north, Du Chu. We died in this battle~"
Du Weiguo frowned, waved his hand, and directly interrupted his next words.
"I'm not your superior. I'm not interested in these questions. Is the suspect's identity clear?"
Director Pan gritted his teeth in embarrassment and shook his head. Du Weiguo frowned and asked again:
"So what's the suspect's portrait? Do you have any physical characteristics?"
"Yes. Based on the previous investigation clues, we have identified two people. These are the physical characteristics and portraits of these two people."
Director Pan said as he handed a bag of files to Du Weiguo,
Du Weiguo took out the portrait, which was very blurry and could only be used as a rough reference, and the investigation records were also rough.
He read it ten lines at a time and handed it to Lao Lei behind him.
Du Weiguo's voice became very cold and unceremonious:
"Director Pan, haven't your investigators seen the real person? Why are the portraits and clues so sketchy?"
Du Weiguo was so aggressive that Director Pan's tone was stuttering:
"Well, well, our investigators haven't had time to report the suspect's physical characteristics in detail, so~~"
At this time, Hanwen, Gou Sheng and others had already ran downstairs carrying their equipment. Du Weiguo ignored him and turned his head away.
Director Pan was relieved and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. At this time, sweat was already visible on his forehead.
"Lao Lei, do you have a detailed map of Liao Province?"
"have!"
Lao Lei replied in a deep voice, and Du Weiguo nodded:
"Okay, Jiansheng, you go check the fuel, vehicle condition, and organize the equipment immediately. We will set off on time in 5 minutes."
"yes!"
Du Weiguo gave the order directly, then patted Director Pan on the shoulder with a very soft voice:
"Director Pan, this case has now left the scope of Bincheng. Please hurry up and report it to the superiors! I hope it's not too late to make amends."
Director Pan stood there blankly, cold sweat pouring down his face. Du Weiguo had already drifted away.
He knew very well in his heart that he was finished. As the first person responsible for the case, he was completely free this time.
It's the lightest thing to peel off this body, but if it's more serious~~.
well! It was all caused by greed for merit.
On the highway, two jeeps were speeding northward. Du Weiguo raised his hand and glanced at his watch. It was 8:08 and asked in a calm tone:
"Lao Lei, has Hu Si replied?"
Lao Lei shook his head, his forehead was already sweating, and his tone was anxious:
"Not yet, sir, are we too late?"
Du Weiguo tapped the car door gently with his fingers and thought slightly:
"As long as Hu Si moves quickly enough, they should be able to make it in time. The distance from Bincheng to Fengtian is nearly 400 kilometers.
If it's to Sijiu City, the distance is longer and their speed is not that fast. "
"Hi!"
Lao Lei slammed the car door and said angrily:
"Nasi, this Director Pan really succeeds more than he fails. Boss, why do you think the other party wants to go to war and expose the target?"
Du Weiguo lit a cigarette and patted Lao Lei on the shoulder, his tone still calm:
"Lao Lei, please be more careful. Director Pan and the others are actually very capable and respond very quickly.
His actions were precise enough, and he bit the opponent's tail immediately, but he misjudged the opponent's strength and courage.
I guess it was because the Ben Thanh City Bureau immediately blocked the passenger ship and the train station, and they were bitten again, so they had no choice but to take a risk. "
Du Weiguo paused and said in a sharp tone:
"Lao Lei, notify Wang Li and Lao Ge immediately and ask them to rush to the south of Fengtian City as quickly as possible and wait for orders."
"yes!"
Lao Lei had stabilized and immediately picked up the transmitter beside him.
About an hour after leaving the city, on a section of the road near Xiongyue County, a truck was crossing the middle of the road. Several comrades in uniform blocked the northbound road with live ammunition.
The jeep stopped, and several comrades gathered around with guns in hand. A steward walked up to the cab, looked at the personnel in the vehicle, and saluted:
"Comrade, please show your work ID and letter of introduction."
Gou Sheng handed over his work permit. After taking a look at it, the man handed it back:
"I'm sorry, comrade, we received a notice from our superiors that the road ahead is under martial law and closed to traffic."
Du Weiguo frowned, pushed open the door and got out of the car, came to the man, and handed over his work permit.
The manager took one look at his work ID card, stood up and saluted: "Hello, Chief."
Du Weiguo said in a gentle tone: "Comrade, which unit are you from?"
"Reporting to the leader, I am from the Xiongyue County Bureau, and my name is Tang Jianguo."
Du Weiguo smiled: "Oh, Comrade Tang Jianguo, are you under the jurisdiction of Niuzhuang? Is it the superior Niuzhuang Municipal Bureau that issued the order?"
Tang Jianguo's expression was a little awkward and he was speechless. Du Weiguo patted him on the shoulder:
"Now, go make a call to your superiors. Three minutes. We will wait here for three minutes. At that time, we will return to Bincheng.
But you have to tell your superiors that we are withdrawing from this case and you will be responsible for the consequences. Have you remembered this? "
"Yes, I remember everything."
Du Weiguo said the word "superior" very hard and said it several times. Tang Jianguo was sweating profusely and hurriedly ran back to the car to make a phone call.
Du Weiguo lit another cigarette, leaned against the car door, and stared at the lush paddy fields around the road with distant eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.
Soon, before he finished smoking a cigarette, Tang Jianguo ran back:
"Leader, I'm sorry for wasting your precious time. We will release you immediately."
"good."
Du Weiguo did not embarrass him, threw away the cigarette butt, silently returned to the car, started the jeep, and drove away.
