PFC Chapter 427 Confrontation
Chapter 427 Confrontation
Dai Jiancun and Secretary He stood in the open space outside the brigade headquarters, scanning the rooms with closed doors, and treated Wu Jiesheng, the newly appointed police chief, with a kind of condescending disdain.
"I don't know if it's just a lot of noise but little action. You're just making a fuss." Dai Jiancun's expression didn't change, but he uttered a bad comment with extreme disgust.
Secretary He, who was standing one step behind him, flattered him, "Director Wu really doesn't know what's good for him. It's just a murder case, but he's making such a fuss about it."
"Let's make a fuss. I want to see what he can do in the end." Dai Jiancun had just finished speaking when he saw the man coming out of the house. He subconsciously raised the corners of his lips and revealed a simple and enthusiastic look.
Wu Juesheng also showed the same fake smile and took two steps forward, "Hey, Deputy Secretary Dai, how come you have time to check my work today?"
"What inspection? It's too serious. I came here today mainly for my wife. She told me this morning that she would come to pick up the children. But I got home from get off work and they haven't arrived home yet, so I came to see if there is anything I can help with." Dai Jiancun stretched out his hand and shook hands with Wu Jiesheng, then told him his purpose. The rest depended on Wu Jiesheng's attitude.
Wu Juesheng raised his eyebrows in confusion, "Is that so? Your daughter hasn't come home either? That shouldn't be the case. We did need your wife's help with something this morning, so we asked her to stay for a while. As for your daughter, your wife said she wanted to take the child to the hospital for a follow-up check. I thought it was very important, so I asked your driver to take her away first. How come she hasn't come home yet?"
Dai Jiancun's heart skipped a beat. What does that mean? Baozhu is gone? He subconsciously wanted to frown, but quickly tightened his expression. He turned his eyes and said to Wu Jiesheng, "That may be because I missed them. To me, doctors nowadays are really bad. It's just a minor injury, but it takes so long to check it. Tsk! But I'm here too. Director Wu, can my wife go back with me now? The child just came back from the hospital, and my husband and I want to spend some time with her."
Wu Jue had been staring at Dai Jiancun's expression with his fiery eyes, so he naturally didn't miss his moment of discomfort. He suspected that something had happened to Dai Baozhu, but when Dai Jiancun mentioned Wang Hongqi, his attention was immediately drawn back. He said with a fake smile, "I'm afraid not. Today's matter involves a lot of things. We may need to keep the wife for two days."
Dai Jiancun was really unhappy at this moment. This Wu Jiesheng had never given him face since he was transferred here. Now that he was here, he was still holding his wife hostage. He simply didn't take him seriously at all. How bold! If he wasn't afraid that killing someone would attract the attention of the higher-ups, he wouldn't bother to talk to him. "What does my wife have to do with what you are investigating? Since she married me, she rarely even returns to the brigade. How could she be involved in your investigation?"
"I'm sorry, Deputy Secretary. As you know, we are not in a position to reveal too much about the case under investigation. Moreover, some of the cases involve your wife. According to the regulations, you should avoid suspicion during the investigation." It would be even better if the regulations required you to be suspended from your post! Wu Juesheng thought.
Dai Jiancun stared at Wu Jiesheng in silence.
Wu Jiesheng still maintained a smile and showed no intention of backing down.
Finally, Secretary He gently pulled Dai Jiancun's clothes from behind and said in a consoling tone, "Secretary, you see, what Director Wu said is reasonable. As cadres within the system, we should indeed actively cooperate with the work of the public security comrades. As your wife, your wife must understand this and will not blame you for having to live in a difficult environment for two days. I believe that Director Wu will definitely handle the case impartially and will not deliberately embarrass your wife. Don't you agree, Director Wu?"
"Of course, don't worry, Deputy Secretary. I just need your wife to cooperate with the investigation. It will only take a few days. Once the matter is over, I will send two policemen to escort your wife home. Do you think it's okay?" Wu Jiesheng responded calmly.
And the police escort? They just want to make the Wang family's trouble known to everyone, right? His wife's family's reputation is ruined, which is also harmful to Dai Jiancun. Wu Jiesheng is really bold!
Dai Jiancun took a deep breath and smiled again, "That's not necessary. Just tell me a few days, and I will come to pick up my wife when the time comes."
"Well, it's hard to say. It depends on when those criminals are willing to tell the truth." Wu Jiesheng didn't intend to let him go easily. Wang Hongqi was involved in a lot of things, and this happened to be a chance to close some of the old cases piled up in the police station. It was a godsend opportunity, and anyone who let him go would be a fool.
Dai Jiancun's smile broke again. This Wu Jiesheng was so hateful. He had already taken a step back, but why was this man still holding on to Wang Hongqi?
No, we must not let this guy continue to be so rampant... His mind raced, and all kinds of ideas came to his mind, but Wu Jue was born here with an elderly wife, so most of the strategies were not applicable.
Looking at the man in front of him, Dai Jiancun felt that there was a high possibility that both sides would be destroyed if he attacked his old wife.
Dai Jiancun was in a situation where he had to be cautious before he could get involved. He clenched his fists tightly behind his back, but he had to take the loss because everyone here was Wu Jiesheng's men, and he didn't dare to fall out with them.
"Director Wu, how about this? Whenever it's convenient for you to let your wife leave, just give the secretary's office a call. No need to trouble you, we'll come and pick her up right away. Is that okay with you?" Secretary He quickly took out his small notebook, took off the pen cap, quickly wrote down a string of numbers, and then handed it to Wu Jiesheng.
Wu Juesheng casually took the note and handed it to the policeman behind him, "That's no problem."
"Okay, then we won't keep you today. Handling the case is more important. Secretary, the young lady might be waiting for you at home for dinner now. Shall we go back first?" Secretary He put away his notebook and pen, and gave Dai Jiancun a way out.
Dai Jiancun snorted, looked at Wu Jiesheng again, then turned around and left angrily.
Secretary He smiled at Wu Jiesheng again, then followed Dai Jiancun into the car.
Wu Jiesheng watched the car slowly drive away, and his opinion of Dai Jiancun dropped even more in his heart, "This Dai Jiancun is no good. He has been the boss for many years and is used to being flattered by others. I am just starting out, but he can't keep his composure. He is not as cunning as his secretary, tut tut."
