Chapter 348: Supercilious Person

“Here is the information of Xu Zhao, Dai Youcai, the cram school staff, and those students’.”

Ma Houde placed a thick stack of information in front of Wang Yuechuan and said indifferently, “What else do you need?”

“That’s enough.” Wang Yuechuan answered calmly, “Is this room always this quiet?”

Ma Houde glanced around, saying indifferently, “Yes, this place is only for meetings.”

“OK.”

Wang Yuechuan nodded. “I’m going to read the information here and will notify you if necessary.”

“Fine.” Officer Ma shrugged, walking out of the meeting room… Of course, shutting the door heavily.

Outside the room, a group of young policemen walked quickly toward Officer Ma and started asking their questions curiously.

“Officer Ma, where is that guy from? He looks so high and mighty.”

“Not only that. He never even lowered his head just now.”

Ma Houde snorted, “Are you busybodies? You all finished your work and are very idle? Shall we go patrol?”

The group immediately broke up in a hubbub.

Ma Houde went back to his own room, drawing the curtains and gazing at the meeting room— Just like this, Ma Houde smoked while monitoring Wang Yuechuan, who was reading the documents.

Time flew.

“It has been almost 2 hours.”

Ma Houde massaged his back and felt amazed that Wang Yuechuan did not seem to move during this time… He had to say that this guy was very serious.

Suddenly, Wang Yuechuan stood up and pushed open the door, waving at Ma Houde’s room… This scared Ma Houde—who was playing Minesweeper and smoking—Bow!

My record! So close…

…

“Anything you want to know? Mr. Wang Yuechuan.”

Officer Ma tried to control his voice ensure his grumpiness wasn’t obvious… My record!!

Wang Yuechuan walked close to the meeting table, pulling out a document, looking at it. “Officer Ma, though it was certified that all of 5 of them died due to suicide, but why didn’t you suspect their identity judging that they were students from the same cram school?”

“I’m investigating that issue right now,” Ma Houde said calmly.

Wang Yuechuan glanced at him indifferently, nodding and continuing his words, “Did you circle the suspect list, about the people that were able to obtain information about the students and the rumor spreaders?”

“Yes… any problem?”

“No, you’re doing good.”

Wang Yuechuan nodded, “However, we can narrow the range. Let’s leave the motive for now first. Why did Xu Zhao suddenly give himself up—Have you ever thought that the criminal might have deliberately lead you to a wrong train of thought, which was why he made up such a rumor? For example… that his identity is not a teacher?”

Wang Yuechuan turned to a page, where there was a snapshot… The receptionist of the cram school—Zhao Ru.

“This… is the same as Little Luo Qiu’s deduction.” Ma Houde subconsciously said with a full face of surprise.

This kind of unconscious mumbling was quickly stopped by him.

However, Wang Yuechuan had heard it. He frowned. “Who is Little Luo Qiu? Someone inside the station?”

“No, he’s one of my nephews.” Ma Houde shook his head.

“Is he in our system?” Wang Yuechuan asked.

Ma Houde shook his head again… He suddenly felt that Wang Yuechuan was like a viper, very sensitive.

He even imagined what he would say next. So he said, “Don’t worry, I didn’t reveal anything about the deals of the cram school under the table. I just let an onlooker help me activate my thoughts! Well, he’s a relative of a person in our system—his father, who died in the line of duty.”

“I don’t care who has died or what kind of person his father is. Death in line of duty cannot give a privilege to his relatives. Also, his father was not good enough to be a policeman if he couldn’t protect himself at work.”

Wang Yuechuan said emotionlessly, “As for you, Officer Ma, I suspect your ability as well because you rely on an onlooker to investigate this issue.”

Ma Houde couldn’t control his fiery temper.

He ever confronted the leader in office when he was angry.

And Brother Luo was a holy and inviolable person in his heart.

He pulled his face, walking to Wang Yuechuan, “You don’t know nothing. Do you know what kind of person Brother Luo was? How many criminals he caught? And that time, you were just a little kid. How dare you say he is incapable in his work?”

“Officer Ma, yes, I was a kid several years ago.” Wang Yuechuan said indifferently, “But at least, I never hid myself in my room, while smoking and playing games.”

“I’m just activating my thought process. Understand?!”

“I don’t care about how you think.” Wang Yuechuan tapped the document, “And I’m just giving you my opinion. Sorry for the offence. I’m just saying it straight. And about Brother Luo, I’ll check his information. If I’m wrong, I will apologize to you too. But anyway, I think a policeman that cannot protect himself is not a good one.”

“You!”

Ma Houde deeply breathed, controlling his temper, “Young man, there is nothing wrong with being a bit arrogant. Hopefully, you can be the person I will admire, and I also hope that you have the ability to protect yourself as a good policeman should have.”

“I will.” Wang Yuechuan said expressionlessly.

Officer Ma left the meeting room with the document… He was unwilling to speak anymore with this guy besides work matters.

He thought, ‘This guy will get into trouble sooner or later.’

“Hello, check Zhao Ru’s address for me please.”

He called someone.

Since a provincial officer came for the case behind the cram school, Officer Ma thought he only needed to focus on the five suicide cases… It was unfair for those students to die even though they did something wrong.

He thought he needed to bring some back some justice for them.

…

…

“9 o’clock on the 29th, got on a car at the third crossing near the old station, two seats, here is the receipt, but I need the deposit first.”

Shen Meihuan paid it to this man, getting the receipt and left with her head lowered.

She thought it better to leave this city.

She knew that Gu Feng already reported her as missing from the short messages on her cellphone… She couldn’t show up anymore at this place or let others know that her son was still alive.

She chose to leave this province by illegal cars because they didn’t require ID cards… To start their life somewhere else, just like the situation when she left home and came to this city with her son.

She wrapped up her clothes; it was still rainy and cold after the rainstorm.

Shen Meihuan suddenly turned around to check her back.

She felt someone was following her these days—This was the second reason for her to leave in a hurry besides the first one—Gu Feng reporting her to the police.

But she didn’t see anything behind her.

The follower, who wore a mask and sunglasses, came out of a shop and continued to tail her.
