Chapter 237 The truth of the case
He Feng looked up at the sky and saw the sun setting and the dusk deepening. He knew it was too late to rush home. So he changed his mind and turned to walk towards his office, planning to take a rest there.
Walking into the office, He Feng casually hung his coat on the hanger, then sat down tiredly on the slightly old sofa. Although the environment was simple, he was too tired to care about much, and fell asleep after closing his eyes.
Time flies, night falls quietly, and slips away unnoticed. When the first ray of sunlight shines through the window on He Feng's face in the morning, he slowly wakes up. Because he slept curled up on the sofa all night, his body couldn't stretch at all, so he just felt his waist was sore and stiff, very uncomfortable.
He Feng endured the discomfort, slowly stood up, stretched his waist, and tried to relieve the pain in his body. Then, he went to the bathroom and washed his face with cold water to make himself more awake. After a simple wash, he tidied his clothes and walked towards the door.
At this moment, Zhao Lei came over. Seeing He Feng coming out of the office, he asked in surprise, "Director, you didn't go home last night?"
He Feng nodded slightly, his eyes fell on Zhao Lei, and asked, "Well, how is the progress of the investigation you were asked to conduct?"
Zhao Lei quickly replied, "Director He, I have already prepared everything that Expert Ma needs, and I am planning to send it to him."
He Feng nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "Not bad, you're pretty quick! I didn't expect this horse expert to be so capable and knowledgeable. It seems like we've found a treasure this time!"
Zhao Lei also nodded in agreement: "Yes, Chief. I'm also very curious about how this expert Ma will solve this case." After saying that, he turned around in a hurry to get his things. After all, expert Ma was eagerly waiting to use the information to start his work.
He Feng was curious about the place where Ma Xin was investigating and wanted to go there in person. However, the reality did not allow him to do so casually, because there were a lot of things in front of him that needed to be dealt with urgently. Helplessly, he could only sigh and turn around to devote himself to his busy work.
Time passed quietly in the busyness, and it was almost noon in the blink of an eye. Just as He Feng was concentrating on his work, a quick and slight knock on the door suddenly came. He stopped writing and looked up, only to see Zhao Lei standing at the door in a hurry.
Zhao Lei knocked on the door and said softly, "Director, there has been a major breakthrough in the case. It has been solved!"
Hearing this, He Feng was invigorated. He quickly stood up and opened the door. His eyes fell on Zhao Lei anxiously and asked, "Zhao Lei, tell me quickly, what is going on? Who did this?"
Zhao Lei met He Feng's gaze and replied, "Director, just as you and everyone else guessed, the suspect is indeed the cattle herder. Now that the evidence is solid, can we immediately carry out the arrest operation?"
He Feng nodded slightly to show his agreement, and turned his gaze to Ma Xin who was standing beside him. At this moment, Ma Xin's eyes were bloodshot, and the two big dark circles under his eyes were particularly eye-catching. Seeing this, He Feng smiled and said, "Comrade Ma Xin, your efforts are indispensable to the successful investigation of this case. You have worked really hard. However, I still have to criticize you a few words."
Hearing this, Ma Xin was stunned, looked at He Feng with a puzzled look, and exclaimed: "Ah?"
Seeing this, He Feng smiled and explained, "One case after another, you will never finish it. But if you work so hard without getting tired and without taking a rest, what will you do if you get exhausted? In the future, you must pay more attention to the combination of work and rest, and ensure adequate sleep and rest. Only in this way can you be in a better state to face more difficult tasks."
Ma Xin was originally uneasy in her heart. She thought He Feng was really going to criticize her harshly. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but swallow nervously. However, when she heard He Feng's next words, she smiled as if relieved and said easily: "Director He, you can arrest him now."
He Feng turned his gaze to Zhao Lei standing beside him, his expression serious and earnest: "Zhao Lei, this case has always been your responsibility. Now it's time to close the net, you can take action to arrest people. But you must remember to move gently and never disturb the innocent people in the village. Do you understand?"
Zhao Lei nodded solemnly, his eyes firm, indicating that he was aware of the importance of the mission and the precautions. Then, he turned around and left without hesitation to start the arrest operation.
At this time, Ma Xin was still looking at He Feng, with admiration and curiosity in her eyes. She smiled and said, "Director He, you see, tomorrow is the weekend. I wonder if I have the honor to invite you to have a meal together? I especially want to ask you for some unique methods and ideas for solving cases."
He Feng smiled gently when he heard this. He looked at Ma Xin, waved his hand and said, "Comrade Ma Xin, you are too polite! You are an expert specially sent by our superiors to assist us in our work. Based on your qualifications and experience, I should be the one to invite you. It's a pity that I really can't spare the time this weekend. How about this? I will definitely treat you to a good meal next weekend, and then we can talk freely."
After hearing what He Feng said, Ma Xin naturally didn't want to force it any further, so he nodded obediently, then turned around and left the scene with a brisk pace.
He Feng looked at Ma Xin's back. He didn't expect that his superior would really send him a talented person.
Zhao Lei came to the village and went straight to the cattle herder's home. He didn't expect that the cattle herder Li Ergou was married and had two children.
"Li Erniu, come with us."
Li Erniu knew that Zhao Ying's case seemed to be solved. He had thought that after so many years, even if it was a corpse, only bones were left, so what could be found out? However, he did not expect this result.
Li Erniu looked at Zhao Lei and said, "Comrade from the Public Security Bureau, can you give me some time?"
Zhao Lei didn't have a good temper towards this kind of murderer: "What are you doing? Do you want to run away?"
Li Erniu looked at Zhao Lei and said, "My Lord, you don't know. I married a wife, but she died when she gave birth to my second child. I am left with only two children. Do you think I can cook for them before I go with you?"
Zhao Lei walked in and took a quick look at the situation inside.
