Hu Jia's face was as cold as frost. Seeing that Lü Qingqing was unharmed, he finally relaxed his expression.
"Hu Jia, this is not your special forces unit." Seeing Hu Jia approach, Tong Hua became even angrier. If he hadn't pulled strings back then, relying on his connections with Qiao Huali and Ouyang Wen, how could he have gotten into the criminal investigation team?
This kind of person with connections had directly taken up a spot on the criminal investigation team, causing him to be assigned to the teaching and research section.
Tong Hua hated Hu Jia.
Yes, he hated Hu Jia not because of Tong Meng, but because Hu Jia had occupied his future.
"I am an assistant teacher at the teaching and research section, and I have the right to expel disobedient students. As a police officer, you should be very aware of the importance of rules. Lü Qingqing's insistence on leaving school during class and insulting a teacher is a serious violation of discipline."
"Oh? Insulting a teacher?" Hu Jia turned to look at Lü Qingqing, "How did you insult him? Do it again and I'll judge."
Lü Qingqing secretly rejoiced, this man was truly cunning.
"Yes, Captain Hu." Lü Qingqing said earnestly, looking at Tong Hua, and raised her right middle finger.
Uh...
Someone couldn't help but let out a stifled laugh.
Tong Hua was so angry his face turned red. It was as if he had been slapped in the face again in front of everyone.
"Hey, Qingqing. You too. If your finger hurts, you should see a doctor. See, you're misunderstood with just a slight movement. This isn't good," Hu Jia said, immediately defining the matter as a misunderstanding.
"Hu Jia, are you really going to oppose the teaching and research section? To protect her?" Tong Hua asked coldly.
"Heh heh." Hu Jia also sneered, "My person, let's see who dares to touch her!"
Without another word, Hu Jia directly took Lü Qingqing to find the principal of the teaching and research section.
The principal was also a shrewd person. Seeing Hu Jia's displeased expression, he quickly plastered on a smile. "Captain Hu, I've already received Director Qiao's call. The paperwork will be processed immediately."
What paperwork?
Lü Qingqing glanced at Hu Jia in surprise.
"Before I came, I called Director Qiao to apply to investigate the Huang Yuan poisoning case, and you are the assistant I specifically requested. With this identity, you will enjoy some privileges until the case is solved."
Uh...
Lü Qingqing was still touched by Hu Jia's actions.
After all, there had always been "human relationships and social customs" in the assignment and transfer of cases. Subordinates waited for superior units to assign tasks, and units of the same level did not snatch cases from each other, otherwise others would think you were intentionally provoking them.
However, Hu Jia had done so now.
For her.
A flutter of emotion, and a hint of sweetness, rose in Lü Qingqing's heart.
"Thank you!" Lü Qingqing said.
"We're family, no need for pleasantries," Hu Jia smiled. "Besides, I'm the one who should be thanking you."
...
"Hu Jia!" Standing by the window, watching the hateful retreating figure, Tong Hua crumpled the "Exhortation Order" in his hand into a ball.
"I told you, you can't beat him."
Hearing Tong Meng's words, Tong Hua turned and slapped her.
Tong Meng pressed her tongue against the roof of her mouth and sneered, "This is the difference between you and him. He always protects the people around him, while you only slap your own sister."
"Shut up!" Tong Hua wanted to hit her again, but seeing Tong Meng's hateful yet defiant eyes, he hesitated. "Don't think I won't touch you just because you've climbed high now. Remember, I was the one who introduced you to your high branch."
"Yes, a high branch!" Tong Meng laughed heartily, tears streaming down her face. "What high branch do I have? Isn't my biggest high branch you?"
Her laughter abruptly stopped. "From now on, we are only in a cooperative relationship, no longer siblings."
Heh, watching Tong Meng's retreating back, Tong Hua's lips curled into a sneer. A woman who could only use her body as capital, and yet she dared to fantasize about overturning things.
Even if she gained favor in the future, without her brother, she would still be a pawn to be used and discarded.
...
"How much do you know about Li Yang's matter?"
"I really don't know about that."
"Is there any possibility that our previous conversation was leaked?"
"I don't think they could understand our code words."
After the matter of staying at school was resolved, Lü Qingqing found Li Yongqiang immediately. To prevent being overheard, this time she openly called Li Yongqiang out.
Because Hu Jia had arrived.
Hu Jia wanted to meet this old friend.
Who would dare to refuse?
"But, who would have known that we were going to look for Mo Yun?" Lü Qingqing was very confused. She hadn't suspected Li Yongqiang, but she quickly dismissed her suspicion.
Li Yongqiang had no reason to do so, nor did he have the motivation.
After leaving Li Yongqiang, the two of them, Lü and Hu, directly went to the municipal police station to take over Huang Yuan's case.
Thanks to Hu Jia's reminder, Gao Liang quickly interrogated the people from the post office who had moved Huang Yuan's belongings.
From their mouths, they learned that they were looking for some letters.
But as for what specific letters they were, what the content was, and who wrote them, these people knew nothing.
They only knew that this matter was instructed by Wang Shuiqi, the director of the post office office.
"Where is Wang Shuiqi?"
"He just arrived at the interrogation room."
As he spoke, Gao Liang led the way, taking Hu Jia and the others to see Wang Shuiqi.
Wang Shuiqi was a thin man, with a popular side-parted hairstyle at the time.
"Officer, I've already said it many times. I just took money to do things. I really don't know who the other party was." Wang Shuiqi had a bitter expression, and there were some small scars on his face, indicating he had been tortured.
Seeing Hu Jia enter, the members of the criminal investigation team quickly offered him a seat. "Tell us, and be more detailed, so you don't have to say it for the third time." Hu Jia threw out a sentence.
"Officer, really, I'm just a runner. I haven't touched a single cent of that money." Perhaps sensing that Hu Jia was a leader, Wang Shuiqi immediately began to complain.
According to Wang Shuiqi, about 10 days ago, he inexplicably received a large sum of money, ten thousand yuan in cash.
The other party also left him a letter, telling him to expel Yi Ran, and said that he would give him another ten thousand yuan after the job was done.
But to expel someone, an excuse was needed. Before Wang Shuiqi could find an excuse, Yi Ran was already gone.
Wang Shuiqi thought that since the person was gone, it was over. Who knew that on the third day after Yi Ran's death, another letter and three thousand yuan in cash were delivered.
This time, the other party asked him to sort through Huang Yuan's belongings and find all the letters among their belongings.
"He said he would give me money if the job was done, and my life if it wasn't," Wang Shuiqi was still weeping. "I heard that Yi Ran was poisoned to death. I was terrified. I was really afraid they would come after me."
Lü Qingqing had been listening from the side. From Wang Shuiqi's words, it seemed that the key to this case was those letters.
So, is it possible that the person who wanted the letters was the murderer?
"The letters? Did you find them?"
"Found quite a few, gave them all to him."
"Who was the other party?"
"Don't know."
"How could you not know? Didn't the letters have the recipient's name on them?"
"They did."
"Then why do you say you don't know?"
"Because all those letters were sent to the same place."
"Where?"
Wang Shuiqi looked at Hu Jia tremblingly: "The Supervisory Commission for Political Discipline."
The Supervisory Commission for Political Discipline?
As these words were uttered, everyone in the room trembled inwardly.
What kind of place was that?
To put it plainly, it was a place that governed everything, from heaven and earth, to officials and soldiers.
Many years later, it would have a new name, called the Disciplinary Inspection Commission.
Could it be that Ran Min was about to report a big shot, and was therefore silenced?
