The more Yang Shu listened, the more he felt something was wrong: "Master, Zhou Chen, what on earth are you talking about? Although we are police officers, according to the law, we cannot casually investigate other people's information."

Cao Jianjun said, "Look, my disciple is a master of law, and he is very rigorous. But Yang Shu, you are wrong. We are not investigating casually. We have reasons. It is too early to say this now, so don't worry so much."

He has been a policeman for more than ten years. In terms of law, he certainly doesn't know as much as Yang Shu, but he still knows how to apply the rules flexibly.

Zhou Chen was also relieved. The reason why he brought Cao Jianjun along was because Cao Jianjun was an old police officer with extensive connections and rich experience. Otherwise, it would not be easy for him, a trainee police officer, to comply with the rules in all aspects.

He handed the folder he brought to Cao Jianjun: "Brother Cao, this is what I printed out. It's the record of the case that Yue Wei was involved in. Take a look."

Cao Jianjun opened the folder and read it carefully.

“Is this a case from 2014?”

"Correct."

Cao Jianjun finished reading it quickly and frowned. "Although this alone cannot determine whether he may have killed someone as you said, it is certain that Yue Wei is definitely not a law-abiding person."

"Brother Cao, there is also Yue Wei's basic information and that woman's information on it."

"Very good. Now I am really interested. I hope this Yue Wei is really like what you said."

Yang Shu in the back row stretched his neck and said, "No, Master, Zhou Chen, can you explain it more clearly? I am still confused."

Cao Jianjun smiled and handed the folder in his hand to Yang Shu: "Take a look at this. The target we want to investigate is the person listed here."

Yang Shu took the document and read it carefully.

"Brother Cao, what I mean is that we should go and ask this lady for confirmation first."

"Well, I'll listen to you and go find this woman first."

Chapter 1039: Yue Wei case starts, the director is tough

Zhou Chen and his team easily found the victim of the case, Lin Cuicui.

Lin Cuicui is doing well now and has become the lobby manager of a five-star hotel. At the beginning, she was very dissatisfied with the arrival of Zhou Chen and his friends and drove them away.

But perhaps he was really unwilling to accept it, so he took the initiative to call Zhou Chen and others, and finally went to the police station with Zhou Chen and others. Under the persuasion of Zhou Chen and others, he explained the situation.

After coming out of the interrogation room, Cao Jianjun said to Zhou Chen with a little excitement: "Zhou Chen, it seems that your guess is correct. This Yue Wei is definitely not normal. We must continue to investigate. Maybe we can really dig up a big case."

If he was skeptical about what Zhou Chen said before, now he is 80% sure about it.

Based on his many years of experience in handling cases, the Yue Wei described by Lin Cuicui was obviously not a normal client. Combined with Zhou Chen's previous description, he became more and more certain that this Yue Wei was not simple.

"Do you have any other evidence or ideas?"

Zhou Chen said: "We don't know enough about Yue Wei. Just based on this closed case, it's not enough to summon Yue Wei. If we summon him rashly, it will alert the enemy. So I think we should investigate Yue Wei's past. Only by knowing more about him can we find his flaws."

Cao Jianjun nodded. "You are right. Yue Wei is from the Northeast, but he has been out for more than ten years and has been living by driving a black car. From what you said, he has always been a loner. I am afraid that no one here is familiar with him. It is not easy to get to know him better."

"Let's first call the police station where his household registration is located to inquire. If that doesn't work, we can go to Yue Wei's hometown in person."

Zhou Chen agreed that Cao Jianjun was indeed capable. He could think of so many things right after he got involved in the case, and he was not afraid of trouble at all. This made him sure that it was a good idea to ask Cao Jianjun for help.

In fact, having watched the TV series, he did not have a bad impression of Cao Jianjun. This person does have some flaws in his personality, but as a policeman, he is impeccable.

He even felt that although he was primarily responsible for Cao Jianjun's death, Director Wang Shouyi also bore a great deal of responsibility.

Wang Shouyi knew Cao Jianjun well and had been keeping him under pressure, fearing that he would become too proud.

Yes, it seems fine to do so, but if you overdo it, it will easily lead to a rebound, just like the drunk driving incident of Cao Jianjun in the TV series. If he had not been suppressed for too long and too harshly, how could he have gone crazy and vented to that extent.

Put yourself in their shoes. You have worked in the police station for more than ten years and finally won a second-class merit. You invite your colleagues to celebrate, but no one responds due to the chief's order. How frustrating and uncomfortable this situation must be.

Anyway, when he was watching TV before, he felt that what Wang Shouyi did in this regard was a bit unkind. If he had not put too much pressure on Cao Jianjun, perhaps the drunk driving incident would not have happened, and he would not have lost his identity as a policeman, and Cao Jianjun might not have died tragically in the end.

Even if Cao Jianjun lost his identity as a policeman in the end, he was still able to take the bullet for Li Dawei without hesitation. Just from this point, we can see that Cao Jianjun is a qualified policeman. How bad can a senior who can take the bullet for his colleagues be?

Zhou Chen didn't have much friendship with Cao Jianjun, but if possible, he certainly wanted to change Cao Jianjun's ending.

Cao Jianjun was a man of action and decisive action. He quickly found the phone number of the forest police station in Yue Wei’s hometown and dialed it.

Soon, Cao Jianjun learned about Yue Wei's past history.

"I didn't expect that Yue Wei had worked as an auxiliary police officer for several years. No wonder, Zhou Chen, I think we need to go to Yue Wei's hometown in person to find out more about the situation. I feel that Yue Wei must have more things to say, which cannot be explained over the phone."

Chen Xincheng in the TV series made such a decision, and now Cao Jianjun has also thought of this. It seems that the experience and judgment of these old policemen really have something in common.

"I have no objection, but I don't know if the director will agree. After all, he didn't agree to handle this case when I brought it up before."

"That's because you didn't show him the evidence before. Now we have the evidence, and Lin Cuicui has told the truth. The director has no reason to stop us from continuing the investigation."

Cao Jianjun was full of confidence. If he could take a step back, even if the director disagreed, he could still persuade him to agree. He did have this ability.

"Then, let you, Brother Cao, tell me?"

"Of course I have to come. If you were to go and ask the director, he might not agree."

Cao Jianjun laughed and took the responsibility.

He said he was full of confidence, but when he really went to see the director and asked him to approve their trip to the Northeast, it took him several days to get him to compromise.

Cao Jianjun called Zhou Chen and Yang Shu over and said, "The director agreed, but he only agreed to reimburse the money for the round-trip tickets. We need to be responsible for the expenses during the process."

Zhou Chen said without hesitation: "That's no problem. I'll cover all the expenses on the way."

"What are you packing? You don't need to pack it."

Cao Jianjun immediately raised an objection: "I know you have money, but this is a case we are handling together. How can I let you pay for it? Let's split it equally. Yang Shu, do you have any objection?"

"Of course I have no objection. Sharing the cost is the best. But if we go to the Northeast, we still need to bring more clothes. It's much colder there than here."

Naturally, Yang Shu would not have any objection. Instead, he was eager to take action. The investigation during this period made him understand that the case they encountered this time was not a simple one. It might be the biggest case he had encountered since he came to the police station. Naturally, he was excited and looking forward to it.

"It's a little colder in the Northeast than here, but luckily it's only September, so it's not that cold yet. But we still need to bring more clothes and go back to prepare. I have to arrange things at the institute tomorrow, and we'll leave the day after tomorrow."

"Okay, no problem, Brother Cao." "Master, I have no problem either."

In the evening, five members of the Paw Patrol gathered in the small courtyard of Zhou Chen's house. When they learned that Zhou Chen and Yang Shu were going to the Northeast to handle a case, Li Dawei and Zhao Jiwei were very envious.

Xia Jie worriedly warned: "Zhou Chen, Yang Shu, that place is not our territory after all. You still have to be careful after you go there."

Yang Shu said: "It's okay, we're just going to investigate the situation."

Zhao Jiwei said: "I really envy you guys. I heard that your case this time might be a big one, involving rape and murder."

Zhou Chen glanced at him and said, "Keep a low profile and don't talk nonsense."

"sorry Sorry."

Li Dawei asked curiously: "How long will you be gone this time?"

"I don't know, I estimate it will take at least a week. The ticket the institute quoted is for a train, which is not fast, and it will take quite a while to go back and forth."

…………

Zhou Chen and his two companions took a train and after arriving at Yue Wei's hometown, they rented a car and headed to the forest farm police station.

At the forest farm police station, Zhou Chen and his team collected some information about Yue Wei, but Yue Wei had been gone for more than ten years, and the staff at the forest farm police station had been replaced several times, and now no one had any impression of Yue Wei at all.

Finally, it was the current police station chief who introduced them to the retired old chief who served when Yue Wei was in office to inquire about the situation. Then Zhou Chen and the other two went to visit the former chief Zhou at his home.

This is similar to what happened to Chen Xincheng and Li Dawei in the plot.

Chief Zhou does not live in the city, but in his sparsely populated hometown. Led by Xiao Ma, a police officer from the forest police station, Zhou Chen and two other people came to Chief Zhou's home.

The police officers from the forestry police station took the initiative to introduce the two parties.

"Director Zhou, these three are the three comrades from Pingling City whom I just told you about on the phone."

Cao Jianjun immediately extended his hand and greeted Director Zhou.

"Hello, Director Zhou. Hello, my last name is Cao, Cao Jianjun."

"Hello, Chief Zhou. My name is Yang Shu, and I am Officer Cao's apprentice."

"Hello, Director Zhou, my name is Zhou Chen."

Director Zhou looked to be in his seventies, with an old face. He greeted Zhou Chen and the other two very warmly.

"Hello, hello, you are here, why do you bring so many things?"

"It should, it should."

Chief Zhou led Zhou Chen and the others into the house. As for the police officer Xiao Ma who led the way, his mission had been completed. Because Zhou Chen and the others had rented a car and did not need him to pick them up, he drove back to work first.

Director Zhou and his wife were still very enthusiastic. When it was almost time for dinner, the old lady immediately went to the kitchen to cook, leaving Director Zhou to chat with Zhou Chen and the other three.

I learned from Director Zhou that he has two children, but they are not around and are working hard in the city. This is where the old couple lives.

After chatting for a while, they slowly got to the point and started talking about Yue Wei.

"I have a very deep impression of Yue Wei. This guy is very capable. If he had not come from a poor family and had little education, he might not have become an auxiliary police officer..."

Director Zhou didn't know whether he was really impressed by Yue Wei or it was a rare occasion for him to meet someone with whom he could have a good talk. He talked a lot and said a lot about Yue Wei, especially saying how he thought highly of him in the past.

Zhou Chen and the other two looked at each other and became more and more suspicious. The fact that Yue Wei had been an auxiliary police officer and was highly regarded by the director showed that he was really capable and talented.

When talking about Director Zhou's retirement, Director Zhou was hesitant and unwilling to say the reason. Cao Jianjun and Yang Shu both found it strange. Cao Jianjun, who was straightforward, asked directly, but Director Zhou was still vague and did not tell the truth. Finally, he changed the topic to Yue Wei.

Zhou Chen knew that his chance to ask questions had come, so he asked, "Director Zhou, may I ask, when Yue Wei was working here, did he make any mistakes with women?"

Director Zhou's expression suddenly changed. Cao Jianjun and Yang Shu were both shocked. It was obvious from the look on Director Zhou's face that there was something wrong.

In the end, Director Zhou told the truth about Yue Wei's problems. When Yue Wei was working as an auxiliary police officer, he did make mistakes related to women. He used his power to threaten a fallen girl and forced her to have sex with him. Later, he was reported to the police station by the other party. Although he was not convicted, he was given a serious warning.

After hearing this, Cao Jianjun and Yang Shu became more and more certain that Yue Wei was a bigger problem and was definitely not a good person.

After having a meal at Director Zhou's home and spending some quality time with Director Zhou, Zhou Chen and the other two drove away.

Yang Shu didn't drink, so he was the one driving.

"Master, from what Director Zhou said, Yue Wei's suspicion is getting bigger and bigger. What should we do next? Should we go back and investigate Yue Wei directly?"

Cao Jianjun raised his hand, frowning, "Don't worry. There's something wrong with Yue Wei. We've already confirmed it before we came here. The problem now is that we haven't found any more evidence. If we go back like this, we won't be able to do anything to him."

Zhou Chen reminded him in time: "Brother Cao, did you notice what his expression was when we asked him why he retired early?"

Cao Jianjun thought about it for a moment and said uncertainly, "Embarrassing?"

"Yes, I also think that he didn't want to mention this matter. His expression was very bad at the time. But what does this have to do with Yue Wei?" Yang Shu asked doubtfully.

Zhou Chen said: "I think there might be some connection. Although he doesn't want to say it, we can go back to the forest police station and ask Chief Niu there. He must know about it."

"That's good. Whenever you have any doubt, you should verify it carefully. Zhou Chen, you are right." Cao Jianjun praised.

The three of them returned to the forest police station, found Chief Niu, and asked him about Chief Zhou's retirement.

When Director Niu heard that Zhou Chen and the others were asking about this, he immediately looked embarrassed.

"This matter should have nothing to do with your investigation of Yue Wei, right?"

Cao Jianjun said sternly, "Director Niu, to be honest, we have been keeping an eye on Yue Wei for a long time. He is extremely cunning and cautious, and we have never been able to find any definite evidence, so we have come all the way here. We want to know anything related to that year so that we can make a judgment. Director Niu, please help us with this."

Director Niu hesitated for a while, and finally answered with a grim look on his face.

"In fact, Chief Zhou's retirement caused a huge sensation here. Chief Zhou was a very good chief. If it weren't for this accident, he wouldn't have retired early. The reason was that when Chief Zhou was in office, the police station lost a Type 54 pistol and it has never been found."

"what?"

Cao Jianjun and Yang Shu were both horrified. They knew very well what losing a gun meant to the police.

"Actually, this is something that no one in our police station wants to mention. Even though so much time has passed, it is still difficult for Chief Zhou to talk about it, so he didn't tell you. But this matter should have nothing to do with Yue Wei, who you are investigating."

"It shouldn't matter."

Zhou Chen and the other two left the forest police station and returned to the hotel.

"Zhou Chen, I noticed that you haven't spoken a word all the way. What are you thinking about?" Yang Shu asked.

Zhou Chen said in a deep voice: "I was thinking about the Type 54 pistol that was lost from the forest police station. Guns are very strictly guarded. We already know that Yue Wei may be a vicious criminal. Do you think it is possible that he stole the pistol?"

"hiss!"

Cao Jianjun and Yang Shu both took a breath of cold air.

"Although it seems incredible, your guess may not be impossible."

Cao Jianjun's face was solemn: "If your guess is true, then the matter is very serious."

Yang Shu asked, "Do we need to tell the director now? Or should we go back immediately?"

Cao Jianjun raised his hand: "No hurry, let me think about it."
