No.14 Disciple: Death Puzzle

Chapter 55 Forced into a corner
While receiving the lunch box that Yu Xinyi handed him, Luo Gang said to Zhuo Qingshan's leaving back, "Xiao Zhuo, have some confidence, don't be restrained."

Zhuo Qingshan nodded inwardly without knowing, and walked out of the office.Zhuo Qingshan walked along the corridor to the hall leading to the backyard. The rain was still pattering down, Zhuo Qingshan looked at the dark sky, still feeling depressed.At this time, a hand patted her on the shoulder, and she subconsciously used her elbow to attack the people behind her.But the person who photographed her was very responsive and moved to another place in an instant.

"Are you playing tricks on me?" It was You Tao.

Zhuo Qingshan turned around and quickly apologized: "I didn't know it was you, but you were in a daze just now, so you subconsciously..."

"I said beauty, this is our Criminal Investigation Brigade, how can there be criminals who dare to attack you?"

Zhuo Qingshan rolled her eyes at You Tao, and asked, "Where did you go just now? How did you come here now?"

"The meeting is over. I'm going to see Team Leader Han off. She's been busy for several days." "Oh, I heard Team Luo hasn't been home for two days!" Zhuo Qingshan asked curiously.

"That's what happened, Team Luo slept in the office." You Tao lit a cigarette, looked at the rain that never stopped, and said, "It's not too bad when you and Mr. An came back. The meeting has already been held, but Director Zhao is on fire!"

You Tao told Zhuo Qingshan that a meeting had already been held before she and An Youlin were notified to return to the team. After hearing everyone's work report, Director Zhao told everyone about the pressure put on him by his superiors.The Provincial Public Security Department attaches great importance to these two cases. It can be said that these two homicide cases are already on the verge of public attention. The higher authorities even let go. If the case cannot be solved as soon as possible, they will not only dismiss Zhao Hongjun from his post, but also send a task force Come down to participate in the detection of the case.

"The majestic Xijing City Criminal Investigation Brigade actually wants to send a special case team to solve the case? My dismissal is a small matter, but smashing the name of the Criminal Investigation Brigade is a big one..."

With a rough voice, You Tao imitated what Zhao Hongjun said at the meeting, and then took a puff of cigarette, "However, Zhao Ju's attitude towards An Youlin is quite strange. Don't you know Zhao Ju's temper? I'm afraid there is something wrong here. doorway."

Zhuo Qingshan sighed, and told about her troubles with An Youlin and her visit to Luo Gang just now.

You Tao stubbed out the cigarette butt, and said to Zhuo Qingshan with a ruffian face, "Do you know what I was doing before I was transferred to the criminal investigation team?"

Zhuo Qingshan shook her head slightly. Although she had partnered with You Tao before, she had never asked about You Tao's past.

"I used to fight drugs in Yunnan for four years as an undercover agent."

Zhuo Qingshan was taken aback by You Tao's words, she stared at You Tao with rounded eyes, and You Tao grinned badly, making her wonder if she should ask.

"Back then, there was a new line that needed someone to follow up, but I wanted to find a newcomer who didn't look good, so I was transferred. The job of anti-narcotics police sounded awesome and glorious, but in fact it was a life-threatening job. Some undercover agents are forced to deal with drugs in person..."

Speaking of the past, You Tao looked up at the water falling from the roof. "When I was called by the superiors to talk, I confessed that my grades in the police academy were not the best. Apart from my skill, I had nothing to recommend. This is a dead virtue. If you say that I am a virtue, I don’t look like a policeman, but I am a good material for an undercover agent.”

Zhuo Qingshan leaned against the door, listening to You Tao's story about the past. "It was agreed before that with this line, it will only be one year, at most one and a half years. As long as I collect the net, I will complete the task. But I have been working for four fucking years! The black talk is more slippery than anyone else. , 'Four Girls', 'Horse Medicine', 'Pig Head Meat'..." You Tao laughed a few times, then took a puff of cigarette, "The one who led me in was an old fritter, an old policeman in his fifties, lean, undercover It’s been eight years. I really don’t know how he survived. He doesn’t have the slightest bit of policeman spirit, and he is a black boss. He hasn’t contacted his family for eight years. He is going to retire."

"And then? Is he holding his grandson at home now?"

"He died. When I was undercover for more than a year, he was killed. The price was too high. One mistake killed me, but he still gritted his teeth and saved me. So now I see those stars involved in drugs , shed tears on the news, apologized for a while and then came out to act again, I feel so fucking disgusting!"

You Tao snorted contemptuously, and continued: "After he died, I couldn't get in touch with my superiors for half a year. During that half year, I was going crazy. When I woke up, I began to wonder if I was a policeman. I was a policeman. Not a drug dealer out of his mind."

You Tao smiled wryly.

"Deal with drug lords, be a thug, and have fun with them to find girls. I am happy on the surface, but in fact, life is worse than death every day, because I am a policeman! I am a policeman in my bones! I have heard it before, and I am a colleague in the anti-drug industry. Some people in the police are overwhelmed, and some commit suicide. You know it when you are an undercover agent. I really can’t describe the suffering. My family members don’t know what I’m doing, and I can’t contact them. The suffering of the New Year's Eve."

Hearing this, Zhuo Qingshan felt ashamed. Although she hadn't been in contact with You Tao for a long time, she never thought of talking to him about the past.

You Tao lowered his voice and said mysteriously: "But then I also figured out a way to survive."

Zhuo Qingshan looked at You Tao curiously, and vaguely felt that the next words were the key: "You mean..."

"I thought about it later. Since the superiors chose me as an undercover agent, isn't it because of my virtue? Why should I insist on being bound by the identity of the police? I should use my virtue to complete the task. , this is my character..."

Zhuo Qingshan seemed to have heard some tricks, but she still asked unsurely: "You mean I'm too reserved now?"

"What kind of personality do you think you are? Anyway, since you came to the criminal investigation team, I think you are a girl with a personality, inquisitiveness, and strong curiosity. But what about after assisting An Youlin? You are too attracted Police status is tied..."

Zhuo Qingshan recalled all the situations she had with An Youlin these days, just as You Tao said, she was too repressed, she didn't dare to ask questions, just like an old lady who carefully served the young master.

"A few days ago, Guo Zi had some opinions on An Youlin. He felt that Mr. An was too individualistic and didn't cooperate with us in handling the case at all, and he was a little too arrogant." You Tao said with a smile, "I can understand our quasi-deputy captain. mood, but Guo Zi didn’t understand a little bit! No matter how much this An Youlin knows about perverts, but he is not a policeman, so you can’t ask him like a policeman?”

Zhuo Qingshan fell into deep thought.

"But recently, Guo Ziting has come a long way, and he's been active in analyzing the case, but he's just a little nervous." You Tao tilted his head to snuff out the cigarette, and then said to Zhuo Qingshan, "Do you know what kind of person is a detective? "

Zhuo Qingshan shook her head slightly.

"In the absence of evidence, only by reasoning and controlling people's hearts, the murderer can be cornered and exposed! An Youlin has a bit of this temperament. Did you understand his analysis in the conference room just now?" Find anything suspicious?"

Suddenly asked by You Tao, Zhuo Qingshan hesitated: "An Youlin suspects that the murderer is a woman...but the only one who can prove the murderer's gender...is the man he met that night when he went to Huangyin Mountain with Team Luo But why didn't An Youlin mention this at all? Don't say he forgot such an important clue!"

You Tao laughed twice, and turned towards the direction of the corridor: "I don't know about that, anyway, Captain Luo didn't mention it, and Guo Zi didn't say anything. I have to ask Zhuo Da for the specifics. The lady went out to ask Teacher An in person."

As soon as he finished speaking, You Tao quickly disappeared at the end of the corridor.Zhuo Qingshan stood in the foyer and watched the rain hit the ground in the backyard. She had a little bit of anticipation in her confusion, and then remembered Luo Gang's instructions to her in the office, and You Tao took Luo Gang The meaning of the word is paraphrased in the most popular way.

When Zhuo Qingshan dragged her exhausted body away from the Criminal Investigation Brigade, An Youlin had already left earlier, and Guo Junfeng and the others also disappeared.Zhuo Qingshan wanted to say hello to Luo Gang, but seeing the lights on in the office, Zhuo Qingshan still couldn't knock on the door and enter.

Back home, the old nanny Xu Ma cooked a bowl of ginger soup and served it to Zhuo Qingshan who had changed after taking a bath.

"It's always raining these days, and the humidity is too heavy. I'll make you some red bean barley porridge in the morning." Xu Ma stared at Zhuo Qingshan and finished the ginger soup, then left the room with an empty bowl in peace .

Zhuo Qingshan licked her lips, the spicy taste of ginger soup still remained on it.

The door was knocked, Zhuo Qingshan nestled her head on the pillow: "The door is not locked." Zhuo Zhengyu walked into the room.

"Dad, you came back early tonight."

With a serious face, Zhuo Zhengyu sat on the single sofa beside Zhuo Qingshan's bed. "I'm going to see your uncle."

Zhuo Qingshan knew her father's intentions, she got up and leaned against the head of the bed and asked, "What did you talk to uncle about?"

Sure enough, as Zhuo Qingshan expected, Zhuo Zhengyu hoped that Zhuo Qingshan could leave the criminal investigation team.He also said that he had heard about the two recent vicious cases in Xijing City, and that he did not want Zhuo Qingshan to continue to do this "job that shouldn't be done by a woman at all."

How could Zhuo Qingshan listen to her father's persuasion: "The job of a criminal police officer is my ideal, and I have no intention of giving up this job. As for your and uncle's opinions, they are just your thoughts, and I will not agree with them! "
