I started out as a criminal, and the police relied on me to solve countless cases.

Chapter 251 Isn't this made up?
Call records before Liu Mingyuan disappeared.

The police have investigated all the contacts.

There were seven people in total, and all of them had sufficient alibis.

Li Youfu lowered his head to simmer the hot pot, muttering, "Captain Cao, they are all eating at the same table, so do you think it is possible?"

He stopped halfway through and continued to put the marinated lamb on.

This possibility is really too low. If it is said that two or three people had malicious intentions and then committed the crime, then that is possible.

But it was a class reunion, with more than a dozen people at the table, men and women. Although you, the rich man Liu Mingyuan, were invited to attend, it was not a party organized just for you, Liu Mingyuan, and yet people disappeared.

You can't just put the blame on these classmates. They are missing you, but the dinner party started normally.

"Director, do you not trust me? I have checked the backgrounds of all the students at his table. We just finished talking to each other. What's the matter? Are you saying that these dozen people conspired to kidnap or murder and then colluded in their testimony?"

Captain Cao saw that the food was already served in the hall and couldn't bear the hunger any longer, so he took a stool and sat next to Director Li, and ate all the vegetables on the dining cart.

"I say, Lao Cao, those who know you are a vegetarian, but those who don't know you would think you are a jerk. Can you please speak properly? Don't force me to use my official position to pressure you."

Director Li was struggling to pick out meat from a pile of vegetables with his chopsticks. The young men next to him also had opinions.

Captain Cao, a staunch vegetarian, is not popular in the first place. Who the hell can eat vegetarian food all year round? A normal person would turn green with envy in two days.

Many people in the bureau were saying that Captain Cao’s bad temper was related to his vegetarian diet.

Even monks can’t stand carbohydrate anxiety.

"Li Youfu, do you dare to use your official position to pressure me?"

Captain Cao scooped up a piece of spinach with chopsticks, turned around and gave Director Li a cold look.

The latter simply lowered his head and stopped talking.

"You joined the army at the age of 17. As soon as you put on the uniform, you became my soldier. You stayed in the army for fourteen years. I was your squad leader, platoon leader, and company commander for fourteen years. When you retired and joined the Public Security Bureau, I was still your captain. If it weren't for your quick mind and my uncle Li's help, you would not have been able to climb over me? When I was competing for the position of director, I took the initiative to withdraw and let you take over."

Captain Cao was really a person who would not give in even if he was right. He just started hitting the pot with his chopsticks.

"In all these years, have I not been at the forefront of any major case? I have been shot several times. Do you have my hard-earned achievements on your list of achievements? Why do you, Li Youfu, use your official position to suppress me?"

"Hey, Lao Cao, let's eat. Can you be my squad leader? You are my squad leader for life."

"That's right, Captain Cao. You've worked hard for so many years and made great contributions. Everyone in the bureau knows about it. Our Director Li doesn't mean what you say. Don't you know what kind of person he is?"

Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, the young people at the table immediately came out to smooth things over.

Director Li also seemed very experienced. He gave in immediately and handed the oil dish to Captain Cao with a smile on his face. It seemed that he had seen this kind of scene so many times that it had become a conditioned reflex.

"Director Li, there was a meeting in the city this afternoon, and we were both scolded. You have a good temper and can endure it, but I, I really can't hold it in anymore."

Captain Cao is a typical donkey who goes along with the flow. As long as you agree with him, things will be easy to get done.

Seeing that Director Li had a good attitude, Captain Cao began to persuade him earnestly.

"I told the municipal party committee to set up a special case team and have them send people down to work with us on the case. Why don't you agree?"

"Can't you see? These people think our bureau is doing nothing all day and is just slacking off. Why don't you let their own people come and try, let them go door to door for two days and see if it's really the bureau that's slacking off."

"You've been smarter than me since you were little, and you have a good brain. Tell me, why do we have to swallow our anger?"

The people at the table really kept silent this time. They were all grassroots police officers, and no one wanted to gossip about the city behind their backs.

He was able to work safely until now, thanks to Director Li and the old director who covered for him, otherwise he would have been fired long ago.

"Lao Cao, let me tell you, this case is not that simple. It is definitely not an ordinary kidnapping case. I think it will be difficult for you to handle it according to the kidnapping case procedure."

Director Li did not respond to Captain Cao's words.
No one with a brain would say such inappropriate words, but Lao Cao is just that kind of person.

He doesn't care about promotion or wealth, and spends all his time thinking about solving cases and catching thieves.

Li Youfu shook his head. He didn't want to turn Lao Cao into someone like himself, and he couldn't. Being a smart person was too tiring. It was better for him to be stubborn and stick to his own opinions.

People who can keep saying this for decades without fading at all are very rare and should be protected.

"It's not a kidnapping case? There's no one in Liu Mingyuan's network who has a vested interest in him."

Lao Cao knew there was something wrong with this statement, so he added another sentence.

"I'm not saying that a good guy like him doesn't have any enemies. What I'm saying is that none of his enemies are worth killing for."

"Lao Cao, do you know why I am unhappy today?"

Li Youfu suddenly changed the subject and started talking about other things.

"Why? Isn't it because that grandson of Lao Xiao pointed at your nose and scolded you?"

Captain Cao didn't show any surprise at all. Instead, he took it very naturally.

They have been together for decades and know each other's thought processes very well. Li Youfu is a shrewd man with a very creative mind.

According to Lao Cao, they are so familiar with each other that the time I have spent with my wife is not as long as the time I have spent with you, Li Youfu.

"Fuck, can Lao Xiao's tricks make me angry? You know, you left and he left me there, secretly asking me to call and ask him to come to calm the situation."

Not only did the young men at the table raise their heads, but the young police officers at the neighboring table also rushed over.

"Go away, go away."

Lao Cao opened his hand and shouted.

"This is good news. I've heard that a remarkable person has emerged in Xiguan. He has solved countless cases in less than a year. You don't know that I privately pondered the case for a long time back then, but I had no clue at all."

Lao Cao rubbed his hands, obviously very excited.

He always respected real masters and capable people. Their achievements were there, they had solved many major cases, and they could not fool anyone.

Haven't you seen that the young guys in the bureau are like star-chasers all day long. Whenever they get a case involving Jiang Hanwen, they keep talking about what case he solved somewhere and they want to see his face.

"What the hell, what does this bastard Lao Xiao mean? He wants me to make a phone call secretly, is he trying to kill me? Yes, I was seconded to the department for a period of time and I know a few people, but they have already been promoted. How can they recognize me as the director of this place?"

"Besides, didn't you see the personnel appointments and dismissals posted on the official website? He is now the deputy commissioner of the Hong Kong Police Department. Is he not necessarily available? I just said a word and he came? Damn it, do you really think I am a son of a bitch?"

"Old Xiao has a lot of face, so let him go and hire the person. If he can't do it, let the Liu family use the 50 million to hire someone. Damn it."

Director Li became furious when this matter was mentioned.

He doesn't hate others using him as a gun, but he hates it most when others use him as a hammer, which is an insult to his intelligence.

Yes, your Jiangcheng has a population of more than 30 million, and you, Old Xiao, have a lot of face, but you let me ask for people with empty words. To put it bluntly, who am I, Li Youfu, in Beijing? Will people listen to you?
However, he would naturally not say these words in person. He had his own methods to deal with Li Youfu, his superior. Otherwise, over the years, not to mention his own position, the trouble caused by that bastard Lao Cao would be enough for him to suffer.

When everyone saw the director's appearance, they sighed and dispersed.

Asking for help is a good idea, but it is too difficult to implement.

Young people who use Tik Tok know that when someone says they are from the police, they are actually from the entertainment industry. Their main job is filming, and they have to read the script wherever they go. If you ask them for help, they either have connections or they have a lot of face.

Jiangcheng Police Station has neither of these two things.

“Slurp~~~” “Slurp~~~”

Everyone in the case handling hall was eating heartily. The case was of utmost urgency and they could not relax for even a moment. After finishing their meal they had to set out to investigate.

At this moment, Director Li's phone rang.

"Is it Lao Xiao's grandson? I'm here to pick him up."

Captain Cao put down his chopsticks and was about to get angry.

Director Li raised his index finger and made a gesture of silence.

"Hello, Director Liang."

"What did you say? Say it again? Who's on the plane?"

Director Li almost spat out the meat in his mouth.

"You said the air police sent you a message saying Jiang Hanwen's crew was on the plane?"

Director Li said this so loudly that it was almost as if he was shouting.

Now, no one in the entire case handling hall is eating hotpot.

They all stood up and gathered around.

"Is this true? Are you sure? No one from our side has reported the case, and even if they did, they wouldn't be able to send anyone down so quickly."

"Lao Liang, we have a relationship, you can't fool me."

"Okay, okay! Thank you, thank you!"

Looking at dozens of inquiring eyes, Director Li made an OK gesture to everyone after receiving a positive answer.

"overbearing!!"

"Bashiliao~~"

A burst of howling suddenly broke out in the case handling hall, and all the fatigue from both young and old disappeared.

"Keep an eye on them, keep an eye on them!!! Director Liang, wait a few days until things calm down, bring your brothers to our bureau, and I'll let you rip off a big customer."

Director Li hung up the phone, the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching, and he could no longer hide his smile.

"Listen up, teams! Do what you need to do next. No one should leave your post. Show the spirit of our bureau to our distinguished guests!"

"Lao Cao, stop eating, let's go! Follow me to meet the airport!"

Li Youfu waved his hand, put on his police uniform, and walked briskly with his fat body, reaching the door in two steps.

Suddenly he remembered something, turned around and said something harsh to everyone in the hall.

"Only the air police and us know about this now. Director Liang said it should not be spread outside. You little brats, listen up! If anyone spreads the news, especially if Executive Xiao finds out, I will punish him when I return!"

+ + + +
High in the sky, a Shandong Airlines passenger plane flew through the clouds and was entering the descent phase.

The plane was shaking slightly. Jiang Hanwen looked at the black clouds outside the window and woke up everyone in the cabin.

We're about to land, don't be confused.

"Brother Hanwen, why did those two police officers keep circling around us? Did they recognize you?"

Zhou Nana glanced at Jiang Hanwen next to her. He was wearing the mask well, so he shouldn't be recognized.

Jiang Hanwen waved his hand.

He doesn't care about being recognized when wearing a mask, as he is not a big star.

The key point is that in crowded places like airports, if someone is recognized and a group of people gather to watch the fun, it can easily cause congestion and cause trouble for others.

The plane slowly descended through the clouds, and the huge city skyline of Jiangcheng came into view.

It has to be said that a city has mountains, water, and a population of more than 30 million.

This is almost unique in the whole world.

The population size of Jiangcheng is not much different from that of an average province.

This was the first time for Jiang Hanwen to come here. Looking at the magnificent city below through the porthole, he couldn't help but admire it.

Countless tall buildings stand like stone pillars piercing the sky.

Below, countless houses, roads, overpasses and flowing vehicles crisscrossed each other, along the rivers and mountains, and seemed to extend to the end of the world.

This is a huge city!
The only pity is that it is not evening now, but early morning, otherwise we can enjoy the real cyberpunk night view.

"Brother Hanwen, what is that?"

Zhou Nana didn't sleep the whole way and kept following the TV series. Suddenly, she saw seven or eight colorful dots floating above the city and screamed out.

As the plane descended, everyone finally could see the small dots floating in the air.

"A hot air balloon? With a giant photo on it???"

Anyone who sees the balloons finds it magical.

Is it okay to fly a hot air balloon over a big city like this? Is it illegal?

And just hanging a big photo of a man on it doesn't mean Amy is running for election.

Don't even mention that Jiangcheng's current mayor is going to elect an election? No one believes that.

"A few of you are from out of town. You just arrived in Jiangcheng, right?"

The two air marshals guarding the cabin door were quite attentive and immediately came over to act as guides for Jiang Hanwen.

"The balloon carries a famous tycoon from Jiangcheng, Liu Mingyuan. His Jiangdu Group is the leader in the inland shipping industry and has a huge business. However, this rich man Liu has a good reputation, is keen on charity, and is very supportive of the development of his hometown."

The air police guy changed the subject.

"However, Liu Mingyuan has been missing for several days. No one has found him alive or dead. The Jiangcheng police have been working non-stop for several days. His wife is now offering a reward all over the world to find him."

Originally, it sounded like there was nothing wrong with this matter, and the air police officer just had a look of regret on his face.

But he never expected that he would finish what he said.

The dozen or so people in the first-class cabin felt as if they had been electrocuted. They immediately took out the stacks of papers they had carried with them, or opened the folders in front of them.

After taking a few glances, they all looked at the young man sitting by the window with confusion.

"Brother Hanwen, didn't you say that the book this time is yours?"

"Is it made up?"
