C25 (1/2)

”Officer Zhou, why are you drinking alone?” I asked.

Zhou Yuankun shook his head, ”Forget it, don't call me Officer Zhou. I've already been suspended.”

”Huh?”

”Captain Xu said that I was too weak in handling the case. Someone reported my real name and I've already been suspended for investigation. I might be going in in a few days later. You guys didn't notice when you came. Is someone following me?”

Zhou Yuankun said this very helplessly, but my heart tightened.

He said that he had been suspended and that someone had reported him by his real name.

This is a little messy.

As for the identity of the spy, I suspect that Xu Haoqing and Zhou Yuankun are both suspended from their duties. Is it really as he said, they only suspended for investigation after being reported by someone, or did Xu Haoqing use some tricks?

If they were simply reported for being investigated, that would be a matter within the police force, and it had nothing to do with us. If it was because of Xu Haoqing's actions, then the purpose for doing so would need to be carefully considered.

One possibility was that Xu Haoqing was a spy, but Zhou Yuankun was not. Xu Haoqing thought that the nimble Zhou Yuankun might pose a threat or hindrance to his actions, so he suspended Zhou Yuankun. After all, Zhou Yuankun was not around when the incident occurred, so it was hard to say if Xu Haoqing had intentionally sent him away.

The second possibility was that there was no problem with Xu Haoqing. Zhou Yuankun was a spy, and Xu Haoqing did not have solid evidence. However, in order to prevent Zhou Yuankun from causing any more trouble in the department, he had suspended him as a ”glutton”.

The third possibility was that Xu Haoqing and Zhou Yuankun were both spies, and they acted out a scheme to paralyze the others. Or it could be said that Xu Haoqing used the tactic of abandoning the car and protecting the commander to throw out Zhou Yuankun to prove his innocence.

The fourth possibility was that both Xu Haoqing and Zhou Yuankun were innocent. Xu Haoqing only suspected Zhou Yuankun and had no choice but to suspend him for the next step …

It's so complicated, right now we don't dare to interact with Xu Haoqing, but because of the fight in the restaurant just now, Li Fengyun had to be exposed to Zhou Yuankun's vision. If Zhou Yuankun was really the traitor, then Li Fengyun would probably be in danger.

But Zhou Yuankun only drank and didn't contact anyone else. I don't know if Xu Haoqing put any surveillance equipment on him, but perhaps everything we said here has already reached Xu Haoqing's ears.

Li Fengyun took over the conversation, ”Oh, so it's like this. Brother Zhou, you feel like you've been framed, so you came over to drink?”

This was quite a skillful speech.

Zhou Yuankun laughed, ”It's possible. After all, in the past, when I was trying too hard on a case, I had offended a lot of villains. If someone was targeting me, it's normal to have hidden arrows, but I believe that Captain Xu believes in this organization. They will definitely be able to observe the situation and give me justice.”

I couldn't tell if he was telling the truth or not.

The three of them continued drinking. I could clearly feel Zhou Yuankun's disappointment. If he was really pretending, then his acting skills were really amazing.

”Brother Li, your skills aren't bad either. That day in the shanty city, you easily shook me off, you surprised me …” Zhou Yuankun mumbled to Li Fengyun.

”That's nothing. The problem is that I've lived there for three years and I'm too familiar with the environment there. You're still the one who's good. When I was punishing those drunkards, I did it cleanly and efficiently.” Li Fengyun replied.

They drank quite a bit and began to flatter each other.

Zhou Yuankun's alcohol tolerance is really good. I feel like I can still drink, but before I even finish the first bottle, he almost ran out on the second.

”Brother Shu, Brother Li, just tell me. It's f * cking easy for me. I've been working hard in the police force for the past few years, and I've always been at the forefront of every operation. Although I haven't done any major cases, I've still made quite a big contribution …” As for the result, Captain Xu told me I was suspended, not that I'm bragging. If I meet another powerful criminal and I'm not in the Bureau, who can catch up to me and who can beat me? All these years, I've been sweating and not crying, but in the end, I just don't know what's going on … Do you think someone is putting on my little shoes? ”Isn't it?”

Zhou Yuankun drank two catties of wine, while Li Fengyun and I drank one catty each. The three of us were almost drunk, so we started to talk nonsense.

Trying to stay awake, I asked: ”Brother Zhou, what do you think of Captain Xu?”

”Old Xu, he's not bad. Not bad at all. He's a good leader …” ”That's right …”

I waited for a long time, but Zhou Yuankun didn't say anything. His eyes became blurry, and then he closed his eyes and fell asleep on the table.

F * ck, could it be faked? Just as he was about to say his opinion of Xu Haoqing, he fell asleep?

Li Fengyun and I called him a few times, but he didn't even respond …

Li Fengyun winked at me and pointed to Zhou Yuankun's pocket.

I understand, he wants to search through the things on Zhou Yuankun's body to see if there's anything that we're interested in.

Then Li Fengyun cried out, ”Bro, why are you asleep? ”Shu Jing, do you know where he lives?”

”Drop it, how would I know …” I answered in a low voice.

”Then let me see if he has the number of his family on his phone …”
