Li Meng, whose head was as swollen as a pig, walked out of the team leader's office dejectedly and walked all the way back to his own office, lowering his head and not paying any attention to any greetings from his colleagues along the way.
The door was slammed shut, and Li Meng was sitting at the table. Suddenly, his hands were swept away, and the documents and case files on the table flew away in an instant, falling to the ground in random directions.
His eyes were aggrieved and angry, and his chest could not help heaving. After a long time, as if all his strength had been exhausted, he lay on the table, looking at the desktop photos on the computer screen with dull eyes.
This was a photo taken with the branch director when he was promoted to instructor for the first time as an "exceptionally outstanding" young police officer a few years ago.
In the photo, Li Meng is wearing a dress with a ribbon and a shiny police hat, and his face is rosy and shiny because of the many happy events.
The chief standing next to him was also full of smiles, which not only affirmed the young policeman's work ability, but also expressed his appreciation for his upcoming great future.

crackle.
Li Meng punched the computer screen with a ferocious expression, and kept talking about the police academy student who came out of nowhere to expose his lies, as well as the agency personnel who were watching indifferently.
"Damn it! Where did this dead person come from without a father or a mother!"
"If you don't study hard in school, why don't you go to Dongzhou and eat shit!"
"Everyone is as idle as shit, and they only know how to stay in the hut and plot against others!"
"We do all the hard and dirty work, so all you have to do is pick peaches, why don't you pick them properly for me!"
"Besides beating the grassroots, what else can you do?"
"Investigation? Investigate your mother's AC!"
"Chen Shu! It's you! It's all your fault!"
"If it hadn't been for you, that damn guy would have been studying in the police academy and wouldn't have come to Dongzhou!"
"If it weren't for you, everyone would be focusing on me, the youngest official in the city bureau!"
"You! You! How dare you hit me in front of so many people!"
"Who do you think you are! How dare you hit me!"
"ah!!!"
Li Meng's face sometimes twisted and sometimes spasmed, as if a terrible force was controlling his hands, strangling his neck tightly, unable to breathe and unable to release, accompanied by the pain of self-mutilation and incompetent anger.
At this time, under the guidance of Ren Guoqing, the captain of the Criminal Investigation Brigade, Shen Ke and Deng Xiaochao, the investigation team of the municipal disciplinary department, slowly walked into the office.
Li Meng was shocked at first when he saw his master take the person into his office and knew that the other person must be a senior investigator at the municipal bureau level.
After taking a quick glance, he found a familiar face, and Li Meng felt a big stone fall in his heart.
Deng Xiaochao, a policeman from the Municipal Bureau's Inspection Brigade, had been to the Criminal Investigation Brigade several times before to deal with Li Meng.
Since the inspector is here, it means that the bureau is preparing to deal with it internally, whether it is confinement or dismissal, after all, this matter should not be put on the line... Li Meng took a long breath and pushed away the table and chair.
Welcoming him.
"Captain Deng, long time no see." Li Meng, who always called him by his first name, for the first time mentioned a non-existent official position in front of the other person's last name, and used the complete title of 'captain' to show that respect.
Deng Xiaochao snorted coldly with a straight face.
Li Meng was stunned: Are you planning to take advantage of me? A small inspector-general calls you ‘captain’ but that’s a shame for you!
Seeing his proud disciple's complexion changing rapidly, Ren Guoqing had no idea what Li Meng was thinking, and stopped him on the spot: "Li Meng! This is Section Chief Shen from the disciplinary department of the municipal bureau. He is here to investigate Qing Yue today. Bridge anti-X actions.”
"Disciplinary department?" The pupils in Li Meng's eyes dilated instantly, his mouth opened slightly, and he stuttered a bit when he spoke, "How...how...is...possible?"
Like a drowning man grasping for life-saving straws, Li Meng slammed his head to the side of Deng Xiaochao and asked: "Captain Deng, aren't you a city bureau inspector?"
Deng Xiaochao curled his lips and ignored him, but he was extremely pleased with the panic coming from the other party at this time. This kind of coercion was not something he could enjoy in a place like the Inspectorate Brigade.
Deng Xiaochao still didn't answer Li Meng's plan.
A few years ago, he was still working in the Publicity Department of the traffic police force, and he met privately a few times with the deputy captain, who was considered the most popular star under the municipal bureau at that time. At that time, the scene where the other party's chin almost reached the ceiling was vivid. In the head.
Deng Xiaochao looked at Shen Ke, and after receiving a slight nod from the other party, he turned to the head of the criminal investigation team and said, "Ren Da, why don't you all leave first? We have a few questions here."
"Okay, please excuse me." Ren Guoqing saw that the other party had no intention of inviting anyone back for tea, so he thought it would be easy and quickly asked everyone to leave.
"Teacher...Teacher..." Li Meng was timid for a moment. The moment he exhaled his voice, people had already left the room like a tide, and they could only swallow the remaining words in their mouths.
Li Meng, the deputy captain of the Criminal Investigation Brigade, who had arrested countless criminals, suddenly felt flustered at this moment, his mind went blank, and his whole body could not help but tremble.
After shaking twice, he covered his head and fell down on the chair.
He couldn't understand why he had been reduced to such a state today after he had interrogated criminal suspects with a straight face for so many years.
I can't understand.
I really can't understand...
By the way, it’s Chen Shu!
it's him!
If it weren't for him, how could I be like this!
What's wrong with me?
How could I be wrong!!!
Li Meng held his head and roared in pain, his hair was disheveled, and the expression on his face was extremely distorted, resembling the despair of being abandoned by the world.
"Li Meng."
"Li Meng."
"Li Meng!"
He called out his name three times but received no response at all. Seeing that the person he was talking about was confused, Shen Ke felt a little contemptuous of him, knowing that he was just a baby.
Just as he taught Deng Xiaochao before, some people, no matter how arrogant they usually are in front of their subordinates and the masses, will collapse immediately after they reveal their identity, without exaggeration at all.
"What's the point of talking in this situation? Bring people back to the bureau." Shen Ke ordered Deng Xiaochao.
Deng Xiaochao glanced in the direction of Li Meng, turned around and said: "Shen Ke, you see that his state is not normal. It would be troublesome if something happened on the road. Why don't you let him calm down first and wait until his mood becomes a little more stable?" , take it back again?”
When Shen Ke saw that his partner was acting silly, something was wrong, so he found a chair and sat down to take a rest.
Deng Xiaochao added: "Shen Ke, the team leader just thought it was just a conversation and was quite happy when he left. Do you think it would be a bit embarrassing if we took the person away in the end? After all, he is also the boss of the unit. , I think you should go over and explain it?"
"Explanation? Our disciplinary department still needs to explain to others when handling cases?" Shen Ke glanced at Deng Xiaochao nonchalantly, seeming to be a little dissatisfied with the contempt the other party showed for the department.
Deng Xiaochao complimented: "That's for sure. It's impossible for us to explain it to others. But think about it, Shen Ke. Whether Li Meng takes him away or not is decided by the bureau leaders anyway. It has nothing to do with us. We have nothing to do with it." You must carry this pot on your back.
"After all, so many subordinates came here with Ren Da before. Now you go over and have a few words with the boss. It's an investigation on the surface, but you can reveal the details of the case in private. Wouldn't this favor be sold?"
Jianghu is not about fighting and killing, it is about human relationships.
Many people think that the disciplinary department is just arresting people and handling cases, and its selfless style is more profound in other people's minds.
But in fact, it is one thing for the disciplinary department to handle cases impartially, but in private, whose life does not need the help of many colleagues?
It is common to put some water above the bottom line.
When Shen Ke heard this, he stood up and patted his trouser legs: "Okay, Xiao Chao, you can keep an eye on the people here. I'll go find their boss for a cup of tea."
Deng Xiaochao smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed, and he nodded and said: "Shen Ke, don't mention drinking tea in front of him, it will scare others."
Shen Ke smiled and tapped Deng Xiaochao with his finger: "Haha, I got it."
After Shen Ke left, Deng Xiaochao's expression suddenly changed when he looked at the door, and a gloomy look filled his face. The word "Chen Shu" that Li Meng had been chanting before fell clearly into his ears.
"Chen Shu? I didn't expect you to fall into my hands again." The old hatred he had formed with Chen Shu a few years ago suddenly came to his heart, and Deng Xiaochao gritted his teeth and clenched his fists.
When he turned to face Li Meng, he suddenly regained his composure.
After studying the cause and effect of the incident clearly in the unit, Deng Xiaochao knew that it was impossible to knock Chen Shu down simply from the perspective of operational command and responsibility. At most, he would just scratch someone's itch and not hurt the other party's foundation.
You can only start from the side, for example, beating a colleague until he is slightly injured.
Deng Xiaochao walked to Li Meng, leaned down, and whispered: "Haha, Li Meng, Captain Li, one of your teeth is not enough, this is just like scratching an itch. If this matter can be settled like this, But it’s so embarrassing.”
Li Meng, who had been lowering his head and muttering to himself, suddenly raised his head and stared at his colleague from the disciplinary department with wide eyes, who was looking at his colleague with a relaxed expression.
