"Liu Fusheng deliberately used the hands-free mode for the call with Feng Guodong," said Li Hongliang.
Li Wenbo nodded: "Yes, this method is not very clever."
Li Hongliang shook his head. "It's actually quite clever! He knew what Feng Guodong wanted to say before he even answered the phone. What he let me, or we, heard was exactly what he wanted to say."
Li Wenbo frowned. "He wants you to hear how Feng Guodong abused his power for personal gain and bent the law. But what does this have to do with his statement of position?"
"There are two restaurants in front of me now. I say to the owner of one of them, I like to eat red mushrooms. If you were the owner, what would you do?" Li Hongliang asked.
Li Wenbo said blankly, "I'll... make you some red mushrooms."
"That's right. If you do this, I will be a customer of your store, not another one." Li Hongliang said with a smile.
Li Wenbo pondered for a moment, his eyes lighting up: "I understand! He deliberately let us hear Feng Guodong's phone call, just to tell us what he likes to eat. If we do this, he will be ours!"
Li Hongliang smiled and nodded. "Besides, he didn't say this to the other store. This isn't a competition between the two stores, but he already had a preference."
Li Wenbo took a deep breath and smiled bitterly: "I didn't expect that this kid, although he is not very old, has such profound knowledge in words and deeds... I know what to do."
"It's good to know! But remember, even if you see through it, don't say it out loud," Li Hongliang reminded.
"Why?"
"I've been there for you all along the way. You're like a caged tiger, majestic and a natural king. But if I threw you into the jungle, you might not be able to defeat a lone wolf who's fought tooth and nail to survive. Don't get too close to him, let alone confide in him, until he's completely in awe of you."
Li Wenbo seemed a little disdainful: "After all, he is just a young boy."
"That's why I keep saying you only grow in age, not in experience!" Li Hongliang glared and said, "Everyone has been young before, but I've never met a young man like Liu Fusheng! Sometimes I even feel like when he said the words 'Pao Nian Dan Sha' next to me, I've been dragged into his trap!"
…
After Liu Fusheng left Li Hongliang's house, he also breathed a sigh of relief.
He was not sure whether Li Wenbo was at Li Hongliang's house, but he was sure that Li Wenbo must know everything that had just happened.
This half-open, half-covert showdown with Li Hongliang was a key part of Liu Fusheng's plan. It was also because of this that he decisively ended his date with the beautiful Bai Ruchu.
Smart people don't treat anyone as an idiot.
Liu Fusheng never underestimated the old secretary Li Hongliang. He knew that those who could reach such a height were rarely mediocre! The only biggest bargaining chip he had was his foresight into the future!
Fortunately, Li Hongliang was a man who recognized and valued talent, and he wanted to find a right-hand man to protect his son, Li Wenbo. Therefore, he only told Liu Fusheng, at the last moment of their separation, that strength was the fundamental basis for controlling others, and that standing on the side of the strong was the most basic correctness.
These few short hours were more tiring than fighting with others for days and nights.
But this is the officialdom. Everyone speaks as if they are playing a riddle. It doesn't matter whether you guess correctly or not. What matters is whether the person who asks the question is willing to regard your answer as the solution.
…
After returning home and having a sound sleep, Liu Fusheng went to the Municipal Bureau early the next morning. Although the serial theft case had been solved, the interrogation and evidence collection procedures still had to go through.
Unexpectedly, Sun Hai arrived even earlier, waiting at the gate long ago, and came to greet him happily: "Master is here!"
Liu Fusheng glanced at him doubtfully: "Are you waiting for me?"
"It's a must! It's only natural for a disciple to wait for his master! Let's go quickly. If you don't come, Zhang Maocai won't say anything!" Sun Hai said as he pulled Liu Fusheng to the interrogation room.
Sun Hai also got some credit in this case. It was said that he was walking with a breeze yesterday, and he even brought Zhang Maocai to trial early this morning.
But Zhang Maocai only recognized Liu Fusheng, and no matter how Sun Hai asked, he didn't say a word.
Only Liu Fusheng knew that Zhang Maocai was telling him in this way that he would keep his promise.
"Have a cigarette first." Liu Fusheng came up to Zhang Maocai, handed him a cigarette, and then said softly, "Your mother has completed the examination and is expected to have surgery in a week."
Zhang Maocai took a deep puff of his cigarette and nodded heavily.
After Liu Fusheng arrived, the interrogation went smoothly, but even so, it took a whole morning.
After walking out of the interrogation room, Liu Fusheng stretched and was about to return to the Second Brigade office, but was stopped by Sun Hai: "Master, please don't go back to the Second Brigade today! The case has been solved. As usual, you can rest for two days. Let's go for a drink?"
Liu Fusheng raised his eyebrows: "Just say it."
Sun Hai said hesitantly: "Actually... actually it's nothing, it's just that yesterday afternoon, I heard some rumors..."
Under Liu Fusheng's gaze, Sun Hai finally explained the matter clearly.
Yesterday, just after Liu Fusheng confronted Dong Kui and left, the Second Battalion blew up the temple!
Although there was nothing wrong with what Liu Fusheng said, and everyone agreed with it in their hearts, the captain of the Second Brigade was Dong Kui after all, and Liu Fusheng was just a newcomer, and a new employee, so he was considered an outsider!
The vast majority of people have the mentality of helping their relatives but not helping others.
Some people suggested that Liu Fusheng be expelled from the Second Brigade, and some people called on everyone to go to the director and secretary to petition to expel Liu Fusheng.
It is said that the scene was extremely chaotic. Sun Hai, who was about to enter the office of the Second Brigade, was so frightened that he hid at the door and did not dare to go in.
In the end, Dong Kui yelled loudly, which stunned everyone. Then he left without looking back and has not come to work until now.
"Master! Now those guys in the Second Brigade seem to have a grudge against you. Let's not bother with them. I think everything will be fine in a couple of days." Sun Hai advised.
Liu Fusheng smiled faintly: "In this case, I should go, otherwise I will be a soft persimmon in the Second Brigade from now on."
This is true, especially in the hot-blooded criminal investigation team, what they hate most is people who hide when encountering problems. Liu Fusheng hid this time, and he will not be able to gain a foothold in the Second Brigade in the future!
Although Sun Hai also understood this logic, he simply did not have the courage that Liu Fusheng had. Seeing that he could not persuade him, he could only follow Liu Fusheng hesitantly and walk towards the office of the Second Brigade.
Dong Kui didn't come to work today, so there are more people in the office than usual.
When Liu Fusheng walked into the office, the whole office suddenly became quiet!
Wang Guangsheng and Zhao Yanqiu, because they had worked with Liu Fusheng before, had complex expressions of worry on their faces.
But the looks others gave Liu Fusheng were almost all filled with hostility!
At this moment, a middle-aged man in his thirties with narrow eyes and a pointed chin suddenly snorted, "You've caused our Second Brigade so much trouble, and you still have the nerve to come in? Liu Fusheng, you really don't even care about your dignity!"
