Chapter 61 The Great Catastrophe
Outside, Jiao Lei was waiting in the van. It was almost eight o'clock and was still wondering, why was it too late today when Director Lu? Then, Director Lu hurried out.
When Lu Zheng got into the car, he asked, "Do you see the tiger?"
Jiao Lei was stunned for a moment, shook his head, and said, "Have you gone down to the Nanying Station?"
Lu Zheng waved his hand and said, "Go to the county bureau, hurry up!" Then he lit the lighter, burned the torn paper ball in his left hand, crushed the ashes, and spilled out of the car window little by little. The paper ball was naturally the note left by Lu Xiaohu. If something happened to Lu Xiaohu, this note would not be seen, otherwise it would be ironclad evidence such as premeditated injury.
Even though he was so anxious, Lu Zheng did not forget to grab the note in his hand and take it out.
The more urgent the moment, the calmer Lu Zheng is. This is the psychological quality that a commander must possess on the battlefield on the front line of life and death.
Jiao Lei didn't know what happened, but he naturally drove at this time with enough power, and the van drove onto the county road like lightning.
In less than ten minutes, the van drove into the county bureau compound, but saw that there was nothing unusual in the courtyard. As usual, during work hours, there were constant streams of public security officers riding bicycles, and the crisp bells rang from time to time.
Lu Zheng hurried upstairs and entered his office first. Wang Yuguo came in and sent a stack of documents. Seeing Wang Yuguo's face, there was nothing unusual.
"Did you see Hu Zi? And Gao Zhikai?" Lu Zheng asked.
Wang Yuguo said: "Deputy Director Gao just came to ask you when will you arrive? It seems that you have something to do with me? Du Suo? Has he come to the bureau?"
Lu Zheng went straight in to observe Wang Yuguo's reaction. Although Wang Yuguo has always shown that he is very close to him, there are rumors outside that when he goes to the party school, it is the day he is investigated by the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection. At this critical moment, Wang Yuguo may not be able to imprison himself, and it is normal to conceal some of his own affairs.
But Wang Yuguo was very clear that he really didn't know what happened, his face was confused, not a fake.
Lu Zheng nodded and said, "Gao Zhikai is looking for me?"
Wang Yuguo said: "Yes, he just went down to the second floor for criminal investigation, so I called him."
Lu Zheng waved his hand and said, "I'll go down." After that, he got up and hurried out.
Wang Yuguo was slightly surprised. What happened to Director Lu today? This is not like his style.
He thought about it again, Gao Zhikai's eyes were blue and blue, and he didn't know what happened. It couldn't be the one who was beaten by Director Lu again, right?
...
The Criminal Investigation Department on the second floor is next to the interrogation room. When Lu Zheng entered the house, Gao Zhikai was applying a white towel to the bruises on his eyes. Zhao Mingbang, deputy chief of the Criminal Investigation Department, bent down to wash the towel in front of the basin rack.
Seeing Lu Zheng come in, Gao Zhikai suddenly smiled, "Director Lu, it's rare. I thought you would have been sitting on the third floor in your life, high above." He said with a pun, and it seemed that he hadn't been so proud of him for a long time.
Lu Zheng is almost certain that something happened to Du Xiaohu.
"Zhao Mingbang, have you seen Du Xiaohu?" Lu Zheng turned to Lao Zhao, his tone was extremely strict.
Zhao Mingbang's eyes flashed, and he wanted to say it but didn't dare to say it.
"So you know?" Gao Zhikai sneered and threw the towel to the ground. "I knew that someone instructed him, right? Instructed him to shoot me! Lu Zheng, I see how you explain this time!"
Lu Zheng knew that as long as he asked Du Xiaohu, he would definitely be detained. But at this time, it is not a time to care about honor, disgrace, gains and losses. Ensuring Du Xiaohu's safety is more important than anything else.
"Where is Du Xiaohu people?" Lu Zheng asked, and without waiting for Gao Zhikai to answer, he turned around and left the house, came to the interrogation room next door, and kicked open the door with a bang.
Immediately, Lu Zheng saw Du Xiaohu.
His hands and feet were curled up on the ground with handcuffs, his nose was swollen, and blood was flowing from the corners of his mouth, soaking the white cloth in his mouth. His eyes were full of anger and he was struggling hard. When he saw Lu Zheng, his tense body suddenly relaxed, but there was a lot of annoyance in his eyes.
Behind Lu Zheng, Gao Zhikai and Zhao Mingbang also quickly followed in. Zhao Mingbang walked at the end and gently brought the door.
"What's going on?" Lu Zheng pointed at Du Xiaohu, his face gloomy.
Gao Zhikai said coldly: "You know what's going on!"
Lu Zheng wanted to go over to help Du Xiaohu, but was stopped by Gao Zhikai. Gao Zhikai sneered: "Why, do you want to confess? Let me tell you that Du Xiaohu has been attacked. He used a gun to commit murder. You are the mastermind behind the scenes!"
Lu Zheng frowned and said, "You must be responsible for your words! Du Xiaohu is using a gun to commit murder? I think you want to take revenge in a private way?"
Gao Zhikai smiled, "Lu Zheng, I have always misunderstood you. You are not a rude man, you are meticulous and vicious. Unfortunately, the net of heaven is vast and sparse, you are just a lotus flower. Today I have witnessed it. Du Xiaohu's murder process, Lao Zhao witnessed it with his own eyes. Do you want to protect this young man? Or should you consider yourself first?"
Lu Zheng turned his head and looked at Zhao Mingbang, and asked in a deep voice: "Did you see Du Xiaohu committing a murder?"
Lu Zheng's power is still there, and Zhao Mingbang dared not meet Lu Zheng's eyes and nodded timidly.
Lu Zheng said: "Okay, tell me what's going on?"
Zhao Mingbang was more like a prisoner, and he didn't dare to look at Lu Zheng, and said stammeringly: "I didn't catch up in front. I, when I came in, I saw Director Gao kneeling on the ground..."
Speaking of this, Gao Zhikai's face changed and he glared at him fiercely.
Zhao Mingbang didn't pay attention and continued: "Du Suer'er pressed the head of Gao Qun with a pistol. Gao Qun has been doing ideological work for him, saying that if he fired a gun, it would eventually implicate you, Director Lu. So I took advantage of Du Suer's distracting and hugged him from behind. Director Gao and I were with me, so I shot him and handcuffed him..."
Lu Zheng frowned and said, "How is this possible? How do you explain the injuries on Du Xiaohu's body?"
Zhao Mingbang's face changed and he looked at Gao Zhikai as if he was asking for help, "I don't know this."
In fact, Lu Zheng has already guessed the whole story now. Originally, Hu Zi had already controlled Gao Zhikai, but Gao Zhikai moved himself out, which must be a threat to him that if he fired a shot, it would not only be his own business, but also implicated himself. Hu Zi hesitated for a moment and was distracted by Zhao Mingbang, who happened to sneak into the house.
As for Hu Zi's injuries, I think it's because he was beaten by Gao Zhikai afterwards. I also want Du Xiaohu to tell him that the mastermind behind the scenes was him, but don't say that it was not, even if it was really instructed by him, how could Hu Zi admit it?
"No matter what, the facts have not been found out yet. How can you treat your comrades like this? Zhao Mingbang, let Du Xiaohu go immediately and take him to the hospital!" As he spoke, Lu Zheng's face became more and more gloomy.
Gao Zhikai sneered: "The evidence is conclusive. Lu Zheng, I advise you to think about it behind closed doors. I will report this matter to the county and municipal bureau immediately. Just wait for the suspension of work to investigate!"
Lu Zheng pulled Gao Zhikai who was blocking his body aside and stared at Zhao Mingbang: "Old Zhao, the handcuffs handcuffs of Du Xiaohu are your criminal investigation. I will ask you, will they be opened or not?"
Under Lu Zheng's stare, Zhao Mingbang's calves were swelling and he couldn't help but say: "Yes, yes..., let's open it now, let's open it now..." After all, Lu Zheng is still Director Zhengyin, and the prestige he has established over the past few days makes him dare not resist.
Zhao Mingbang leaned over with his head down. He didn't have to look at Gao Zhikai's gaze. He knew in his heart that Gao Qu's face must be ugly, so he could only complain secretly. If he had known, why would he have to come to work so early today? Wouldn't this make me feel uncomfortable?
Zhao Mingbang opened Du Xiaohu's handcuffs and feet, helped him up, and pulled out the cloth strip from Du Xiaohu's mouth. Seeing Du Xiaohu wanting to speak, Lu Zheng sternly scolded: "Don't say anything, go to the hospital for treatment first! I will settle the score with you when the investigation is clear!" He was afraid that Du Xiaohu would open his mouth and say, "It's all my fault and has nothing to do with Director Lu" and so on.
Du Xiaohu was not stupid, and he regretted his desire to commit suicide at this time, but he knew that he was dead, so Brother Zhengzi couldn't explain it even more clearly, so he could only nod in silence.
At this time, Hou Jianjun hurriedly pushed the door open and was stunned when he saw the scene inside the interrogation room.
He had just returned from outside and heard from his subordinates of the criminal investigation that it seemed that Director Lu and Deputy Director Gao had entered the interrogation room. He didn't know what was wrong, so he followed him.
"Look at your good things done by criminal investigation!" Lu Zheng glared at Hou Jianjun and helped Du Xiaohu out of the house.
Gao Zhikai shouted coldly behind Lu Zheng: "Lu Zheng, don't think about covering up the sky with one hand. I'll report to the county leaders now. You know how serious the consequences are. Just wait to go to the prison with Du Xiaohu!"
Hou Jianjun was confused. Seeing that Lu Zheng’s face was not good, he became more anxious. When he heard Gao Zhikai’s words, Wuming became even more angry and cursed casually: “Shut up, what are you talking about?!”
Now Hou Jianjun serves as the head of the Criminal Investigation Section, but Gao Zhikai comes to wander around if he has something to do, which makes Hou Jianjun unhappy. Today, it is even more obvious that he annoyed Director Lu in the criminal Investigation Section, which makes Hou Jianjun even more angry. This shows that he has been in office for several months and has not yet grasped the Criminal Investigation Section firmly in his hands.
