Outside the main entrance of the City Guards Department. Hundreds of people crowded the street outside the spacious door. I saw a man who was tied tightly with a rope, kneeling at the main entrance of the City Guards Department with a bruised nose and face, and a corpse lying next to him. The corpse was that of a woman, about twenty years old, and she looked like she had just died. . On the outside is a large mixed group of people and horses. There are middle-aged men in luxurious brocade robes surrounded by a group of martial arts guards, and there are also rugged men with a steel knife on their shoulders and a scar on their faces, with a terrifying aura. The few officers guarding the gate of the City Guards Department were all a little scared at this time. For them, if ordinary people came to make trouble, they would have been kicked out long ago. There was no way they could wait until things got serious and alert the superiors inside. But this time the situation is completely different. The scarred face with the steel knife on his shoulder has a terrible reputation in the local area. He is the leader of the Quicksand Gang. Almost everyone in Wutong knows that he can even stop children from crying at night. The man in brocade robes who was surrounded was Zheng Hong, the master of the Zheng family on South Street. The Zheng family was even more domineering in the local area. Compared to the Quicksand Gang, robbing civilian girls was a trivial matter. Zheng Hong's The eldest son Zheng Yi once had some verbal friction with someone in a restaurant, so he ordered his servants to beat the person to death in the street and then left. There were even officers from the City Guards patrolling at that time. Zheng Yi beat the man to death in front of the officers, and then directly told the officers to wash the floor. Afterwards, the matter fell into place without causing any trouble. This shows the arrogance of the Zheng family. When working as a servant in the City Guards Department, you must first keep your eyes open and distinguish between those who can be provoked and those who cannot be provoked. The Zheng family and Liusha Gang are the ones who cannot be provoked in Wutong.
The guard guard wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. He kept looking inside the City Guards Department, and finally saw a group of people led by Chen Mu walking out of it. He quickly saluted Chen Mu respectfully: Master Chaosi. The leader of the Quicksand Gang, Zheng Hong of the Zheng family, was not a figure that their little servants could handle. Seeing Chen Mu walking out with a group of people, Zheng Hong smiled slightly, cupped his hands towards Chen Mu, and said: Seeing is better than hearing a hundred times. Mr. Chen is really young and promising. When I was Mr. Chen's age, I was still In Tiantian Lianlianhua Street, you can't even manage an ordinary shop at home, but Mr. Chen is already the head of a department. This sounded like a compliment, but it sounded very awkward in my ears. Liu Song, Li Tie and others secretly frowned when they heard this. Chen Mu's expression was as usual, he looked at Zheng Hong, and then looked at the corpse in front of the door and the tied and kneeling man next to him. At this look, he frowned slightly. Because he knew the kneeling man. Little... Chaos, Master Chaosi, you have to make the decision for me. They are the ones who deliberately harmed me... The man kneeling on the ground looked up at Chen Mu, and then said with a sad face. The title that he half spat out and then swallowed back was Xiao Mu. Apart from Chen Mu's third aunt Chen Hong, naturally there was only one person left who could use this term to address Chen Mu. His second uncle, Chen Mao. Chen Mao has always been uneducated, and his relationship with Chen Mu's father was very ordinary. He was scolded by Chen Mu's father many times, so much so that when Chen Mu's father died, he never came to his door. Later, I heard that Chen Mu suddenly rose to prominence. I suddenly became prosperous and wanted to come to my nephew to reconnect with him, but I was hesitant and could not come to him shamelessly. Even so, as Chen Mu's second uncle, his situation has still changed a lot. Many gang members who had dismissed him in the past began to take the initiative to say hello when they met him. Some people even took the initiative to get to know Chen Mao. Naturally, he was happy to see it, and gradually things became more prosperous. Chen Mu actually heard about this, but firstly, Chen Mao did not take the initiative to do things outside in his name, and secondly, he did not hear that Chen Mao did anything evil in his name, so there was no Too much attention. Today we meet again after so many years. After being reprimanded by Chen Mu's father, Chen Mao, who threw away his sleeves angrily and dissatisfied, is now tied up and kneeling on the ground with a bruised nose and swollen face, right at the door of the City Guards Department. As early as the moment he recognized Chen Mao's identity, Chen Mu knew as clearly as a mirror that someone was obviously very dissatisfied with him coming to Wutongli to take up the post. They gave him eye drops on the first day, and it seemed that he was still It has been prepared for a long time and has been planned for a long time. present. Chen Mu ignored Chen Mao's begging for mercy, turned to look at Shang Qinglai, and said: Since there is a murder case, bring all the people in, and you, the leader of Shang, will interrogate it in person to ensure fairness and strictness.
Shang Qinglai didn't know Chen Mao's identity yet, but he understood that someone had come to give Chen Mu eye drops, so he blocked Chen Mu's first day in office, trying to get Chen Mu, the new police chief, to face him directly. sweep the floor. ……yes. After a brief hesitation, he responded immediately. No matter what the situation is now, whether the Zheng family and Liusha Gang are fighting together, but in short, he has to stand on Chen Mu's side. Not only Xu Feng's confession before leaving, but more importantly, Chen Mu's current identity, no matter what, he has to stand on Chen Mu's side. He is the iron-clad Wutongli Police Department, the immediate boss in charge of the entire city guard department. But just as Shang Qing came forward to escort Chen Mao and others into the City Guards Department, Zheng Hong spoke. slow! The previous greetings to Chen Mu were ignored by Chen Mu, and Zheng Hong's face became colder. At this time, he said solemnly: If there is a murder case, it is natural that justice and strictness must be met, but I know that the main culprit in this case is related to Mr. Chen. They seem to be relatives. If the case is tried in the City Guards Department, people may doubt Mr. Chen's impartiality. I think it is better to try the case on the spot to make people more convincing. As soon as this statement came out. Suddenly many people's expressions changed slightly. Shang Qinglai also twitched the corner of his mouth and looked at Chen Mu with a headache. Not to mention that Zheng Hong was clearly planning to cause trouble. The fact that the main culprit was a relative of Chen Mu made him feel a little dizzy all of a sudden. . In today's world, to put it bluntly, even if a murder case occurs among relatives of dignified police officers, it is not a big deal, but if someone happens to take the opportunity to cause trouble, and the person who caused the trouble is a powerful person like the Zheng family, then it will undoubtedly be a big deal. It became a nuisance. That's fine. Chen Mu glanced at Zheng Hong indifferently. This look made Zheng Hong feel an inexplicable chill down his spine, but he quickly calmed down. He knew that Chen Mu was nothing more than a subordinate trained by Xu Hongyu to take over Xu Feng's position. Even if there might be some future in the future, that would be It has to be done in the future. The Yu family's current situation is not very good, and today's events also have hints from the big shots above. What's more, Zheng Hong is not an ordinary person. Not only is he distantly related to the He family in the inner city, but he also has someone working in the inner city. In terms of background relationship, Xu Hongyu behind Chen Mu is nothing. In terms of the power in his hands, Chen Mu is a trustworthy officer who has just arrived. , and being young, he may not be able to easily control the men and horses of the City Guard Department, so he has no ability to compete with him. My lords, Chen Mao is domineering and licentious. He forced my concubine into a drunken state. Afterwards, he became more ferocious and killed people cruelly. I hope that you will enforce the law impartially and return justice. Someone stood up, knelt on the ground and spoke. That's nonsense! Chen Mao almost jumped up and argued: Sir, they are in the same group. I drank some wine that day, and this woman deliberately seduced me. Later, she framed her and accused me of ruining her reputation. She wanted to file a lawsuit with the City Guards Department. , I quarreled with her and lost my temper for a moment... Nonsense. It's clear that you were drunk and lustful. There are all the witnesses and material evidence. You still want to deny it! It's obviously a deliberate design by you... A quarrel quickly broke out in the field. quiet! Chen Mu's tone was calm, but he had an undoubted power that quickly silenced the quarrelsome people. Chen Mu glanced at the female corpse lying next to him. There were obvious bruises on the neck of the female corpse. Then he looked at the so-called witness and other physical evidence, and shook his head slightly in his heart. The incident is not complicated. After a little reflection it becomes basically clear. It should be that the Zheng family deliberately planned to commit an adultery case. However, when Chen Mao was quarreling with a woman and was threatened, he became bold and committed murder. He did not know that the Zheng family's men were ambushing him. On the side, he just wanted to kill someone and then rely on his own connections to destroy the body and suppress the matter.
However, when the Zheng family members saw that the rape case had turned into a murder case, they did not take action. They just watched the woman being strangled to death by Chen Mao, and then they came out to capture Chen Mao. At this time, Chen Mao realized that something was wrong, but it was too late. There was no room for struggle or differentiation, and he was escorted all the way. A farce. This is Chen Mu's evaluation in his heart. The dead woman, the murderer Chen Mao, and the Zheng family... It can be said that in this case, from the perpetrator to the criminal to the deceased, no one is completely innocent. What's even more ridiculous is that the reason for everything is just to give him eye drops as the new chief on his first day in office. very good. He actually received the surprise on his first day in office. Chen Mu closed his eyes slightly, and after a while, he looked at Chen Mao and said calmly: So, you did kill the person? Chen Mao suddenly became mute, his eyes were panicked, and his argumentative tone became weaker. He hesitated and said: I...I just made a mistake in my anger...and they deliberately planned to frame me. Yes. them…… Chen Mu turned to look at Zheng Hong and said calmly: There is no mercy under the national law. People do it, and God is watching. If you do something evil, no matter what the reason, you will have to pay the price. What do you think, Shopkeeper Zheng? Zheng Hong, who was watching the show, felt that these words were a bit harsh no matter how he heard them. He frowned and was about to say something when he saw that Chen Mu had already waved his hand: All the witnesses and material evidence are there, escort him to the Chief's Prison. yes. Shang Qinglai immediately responded and stepped forward. Chen Mao's face froze and he immediately started struggling. He opened his mouth and tried to shout something, but before he could say anything, Shang Qinglai slashed the back of his neck with a knife. His whole body went limp and he could no longer say a word. talk. Several officers immediately stepped forward to help and escorted Chen Mao away. The Zheng family, the Liusha Gang, and the thieves gang over there...is there anything else going on? Chen Mu no longer looked at Chen Mao who was being escorted away, and instead glanced at the many people in the field with a calm gaze. His tone was still as calm as an ancient well, without any emotion. Many people looked at each other in confusion. Zheng Hong also frowned. In fact, he knew that the relationship between Chen Mu and Chen Mao's uncle and nephew was not very good, and the purpose today was not to use Chen Mao to force Chen Mu to make concessions, but just to destroy Chen Mu's prestige. However, this set of operations did not seem to have any effect. I only saw that Chen Mu was calm from beginning to end, acted calmly, and had an indifferent attitude. He also followed orders and prohibitions. His subordinates obeyed completely on the first day, and Shang Qinglai was sharp in doing things. , acted vigorously and resolutely, and immediately controlled Chen Mao, who finally tried to make a fuss, and contained the situation at once. After this farce, not only did it not damage Chen Mu's face, it actually established some prestige invisibly. It's really strange that he is only in his early twenties, and it's his first day being promoted to a police officer, but he can act so calmly and can't find any faults.
