For the first time, the door of the meeting room of the criminal police team was opened during a secret level meeting. It wasn't that he forgot to close it, but there were too many people participating and there wasn't enough space. He had to open the door to let those who didn't find a seat stand and listen.
Qin Ling, who was sitting in the second seat, had been listening silently and did not say anything. Even when Wu Tingting hinted at the end of the report, emphasizing that Lu Yueyue's accidental injury had caused Old Ji to leave and Liu Baohua to temporarily replace her, Qin Ling still did not say a word. His silent face was still expressionless.
'Little Wu' Wu Lichang's eyes did not leave the minister's face for even a minute. While observing his reaction, he quickly calculated in his heart.
On the surface, Lu Yue Yue was under his control, but in fact, she was a member of the Bureau. The proper leader was Qin Ling. The department also attached great importance to this girl. Otherwise, she would not have appeared at the scene time and time again because of her, and it would not have allowed him to have a coincidental encounter with the director in the ward. Besides, Lu Yueyue had nothing to do with yesterday's incident. However, this incident was too big. Someone had to take the blame. If Lu Yueyue could be implicated as one of the key people responsible, although she would not be the one to take the blame in the end, the consequences would definitely be much lighter. In order to cover up their reputation in the residence, Director Qin probably wouldn't probe too deeply. He would have to help them cover up a little in the bureau, right?
"Did Old Ji greet you yesterday? When exactly did this happen?”Qin Ling's unchanging expression made Wu Lichang even more determined to drag Lu Yueyue down with him. He deliberately asked two questions that were not directly related to the time sequence.
" Mm, they " had actually said it before. Not only did they say it, but they were also invited to leave together. However, Wu Tingting's eyes flickered as she swept a glance at Xue Yu."No, I just saw Lu Yue Yue get injured on the stairs and then leave with Old Ji. Everything happened too quickly. I had just crossed the river when Liu Baohua was shot.”There were only six people who knew the details of the whole incident that day. They were herself, Pan Xiaowei, Lu Yueyue, Old Ji, and Xue Yu and Liu Baohua who came later. Now that Old Ji and Liu Baohua had sacrificed themselves, Pan Xiaowei was one of them, and Xue Yu was most likely one of them. As long as she left, she would inform Pan Xiaowei. Even if Lu Yueyue appeared and told the truth, she would not be able to refute their opinions.
"Hmm?" Wu Lichang deliberately used a nasal voice to express his dissatisfaction."Why didn't you warn them? Don't you know your responsibility?"
" I told you. Maybe Yue Yue fell too hard, so I didn't listen." He said he didn't listen, but he didn't say who didn't listen.
" Those steps are all made of stone. It should be quite hard to knock them down, right?" Wu Tingting added out of kindness after stealing a glance at Qin Ling's unchanging expression.
Tan Xiaoyuan, who had also attended the meeting because she had participated in the operation, stood outside the door with a pale face. She straightened her body and wanted to speak.
Du Li, who was beside Little Yuan, quickly pulled her back." Sister Du, I clearly saw it." She clearly saw Old Ji holding Yueyue and shouting at Wu Tingting and the others for a long time that day. He only left after confirming that Xue Yu and Old Liu had gone over. Wasn't she talking nonsense?
" Shhh." Du Li stopped Tan Xiaoyuan 'er from saying anything and pulled her out quietly.
" No, Sister Du." Tan Xiaoyuan was furious.
" Let's go." Even though Tan Xiaoyuan was very unconvinced, she was still pulled away by Du Li.
The meeting was still going on. Wu Lichang also followed Wu Tingting's words and continued to add a one-sided weight.
"Xue Yu, you're wrong too. In that situation, there were so many dangers. You only knew to take over the shift and didn't know to leave a few more people to carry out the mission? Or do you think you can deal with the triads from Hong Kong with just a few of you? They're too unorganized and undisciplined!" The last sentence was already close to an angry roar.
" Yes." Just as he was acting sternly, a cold voice came from outside the door."Since you know that the triads in Hong Kong are not easy to deal with, why did you decide to change your itinerary in such a short time? With so few people, why didn't they report to Chief Jiang and ask for support from the other police teams?”Student Lu's usual sweet and bright voice, in addition to being cold, also had a bit of unfamiliar sarcasm. Moreover, she did not hide it at all, openly exposing her dissatisfaction and disdain in front of everyone.
Seeing her return, Qin Ling's eyes immediately changed. All the focus and passion in his eyes returned. She had actually appeared so quickly. He had thought that he would have to suffer for 24 hours before he went to look for her. Looking at the little girl who was covered in bandages and had a thin face but was full of energy, Qin Ling's heart finally settled down after more than ten hours of torture.
"Lu Yue Yue!" Wu Lichang was stunned by her words. Then, the calmness that he had gained after facing life and death for many years and experiencing blood and fire immediately showed itself."What kind of attitude is this? If you have any opinions, you have to express them correctly. This is a meeting, not a private chat between the two of us!”On the one hand, it fully highlighted his own integrity and on the other hand, it hinted to everyone attending the meeting that the two of them had a deep personal relationship.
" Captain Wu, I'm an intern sent by the Bureau. If there's anything, I should report it to the Bureau first." Lu Yueyue acted as if she didn't hear him. She couldn't help but laugh in her heart. How could such a small trick be used in front of her, Zuo Xinran? Humph! His tone did not change. He walked through the gap made by the crowd into the conference room and stood by the table."But I didn't. When I found out that Wu Tingting immediately asked you to change her original schedule that afternoon at Pan Xiaowei's request, I immediately went to Inspector Lee to explain the situation and the reason for her disagreement. Inspector Lee will also report to you immediately according to the organization's reporting procedures. We will try our best to maintain the original plan and continue to visit the scenic spots that are easy to protect.”
Yueyue cleared her throat and looked around. Her gaze swept past Chief Jiang's face."Captain Wu, this case is a major case designated by the bureau. A while ago, there was the Forbidden City incident, and Director Jiang was already personally responsible for it. It was also because of the command and control of Director Jiang and the leaders that the protection operation after the Forbidden City incident could be carried out so smoothly and without a drop of water being exposed. I wonder why you didn't know anything when you decided to change your itinerary? Or did you report to the Bureau before you changed your schedule and express it correctly?”
Wasn't Lu Yueyue always very innocent and honest? Why did he suddenly become so shrewd and sharp? Before she could finish, Wu Lichang started sweating. The reason why he didn't tell Old Jiang beforehand was that he didn't want Pan Xiaowei to be robbed of the credit if he could really give up the clue about the violin. Now that this little girl had said so, even if Pan Xiaowei really gave up the violin, he would be blamed for causing a ruckus in the amusement park and sacrificing his two comrades just because he acted without the permission of his superiors and disregarded the organization's reporting principles. Sigh, if only he could communicate with Old Jiang last night, but Old Jiang was clearly there, but he turned around and disappeared. He didn't know what he was busy with last night, but he didn't even go home. He couldn't say a word after waiting for the whole night. Since he didn't manage to say hello, could he still count on Old Jiang, who had always protected his subordinates, to protect him in the face of such a huge responsibility?
"You were the one who didn't listen to the arrangements and left early. What right do you have to blame others?”Hearing the seriousness of the matter, Wu Tingting panicked and tried to shift the focus.
"Tingting." Xue Yu, who was sitting beside her, pulled her up and scolded her in a low voice,""Sit down and stop talking!" What a joke. Was this the time for her to speak? Not to mention questioning, Lu Yueyue was clearly using her identity as a " person from the Ministry of Justice " to speak, and every sentence was to the point. There was no room for misdirection.
Wu Lichang immediately stared at his niece with a burning gaze. Yes, that's right. It was just right for her to make a scene. In this situation, the people in her team did not dare to say anything, and the two leaders from above could not say anything due to their status. As long as she could provoke Lu Yue Yue to tangle with her on the question of who was right and who was wrong, no matter who won or lost, he could find a time that was most beneficial to him to stand up and end it. Then, he could change the angle of discussion. Everything could start anew. At most, he would not drag Lu Yue Yue into it. Good, this niece finally had a chance to be smart.
Receiving her uncle's gaze, Wu Tingting understood that she had done the right thing. How could he sit down because of Xue Yu's tugging? He cleared his throat and began to say,"If it weren't for you, would Liu Baohuan have been shot? You should be the one on that boat. He was shot for you! What reason do you have to question others here?!”He was confident and righteous.
Hmph, sigh! Student Lu sneered in his heart again. This brain is really thinking too much!
His expression did not change, his gaze did not change. He was not in a hurry to defend himself or explain himself after being slandered and criticized by such a reversal of black and white. Without saying a word, he put his arms down, put his five fingers together by his sides, and made a standard left turn under his feet. He walked toward the chief at the other end of the conference table with small steps. Then, he stood about two steps away from the two division chiefs and raised his hand. He saluted with a bang."Division Chief Qin, Division Chief Jiang, and Officer Lu Yue Yue report to you. Requesting to return to the team!”Her voice was crisp and melodious.
Qin Ling suppressed the smile in his eyes and pointed at Zhang Xingzhong, who was sitting on his right. After Zhang Xingzhong immediately gave up his seat, he said in an unusually serious tone,"Have a seat."
"Yes, sir!" He saluted again, turned around, and sat on the empty chair.
After helping her place the chair, Zhang Xingzhong cleverly turned around, stepped, stood at attention, turned around, and then stood behind the Qinling Mountains with his arms behind his back. Instantly, all the young police officers present felt that the people in the bureau were indeed different. They were really far inferior to them.
The meeting room was completely silent. Wu Tingting was shocked and didn't know whether to sit or stand. She was so embarrassed that she didn't know what to do. Yue Yue's actions just now undoubtedly brought the two directors out from behind the " listening " curtain. Wu Lichang also couldn't come out to host the meeting as the head of the family. Hence, other than Wu Tingting who stood there, not knowing what to do, the entire meeting room was silent.
After a long time, seeing that Qin Ling still did not speak, Division Chief Jiang took over the responsibility of being the head of the family." His gaze slowly swept across everyone in the criminal police team around the conference table. I only found out about this last night at the scene." His tone was slower and more serious."Two of our comrades have died. But now, apart from discussing who should bear the responsibility, is there nothing else we can say or do?”This time, his gaze was directed at Wu Lichang.
"Chief Jiang," Wu Lichang once again grabbed onto a life-saving straw."I suggest that Pan Xiaowei be interrogated immediately and get his violin back!”
