Chapter 352: Profound Self-Reflection

~34 min read 6,798 words

Wang Xueren looked at the trainees sitting in the back row, widened his eyes, waved his hand, and led a group of security guards out the door.

Li Xuewu and these trainees looked at each other; everyone didn't know what had happened yet.

After the security team and the experts also left, Liu Zheng walked to the front, took out the prepared case situation report, and began to introduce it to everyone.

The previous events were briefly stated in a few sentences, and then he began to introduce in detail the situation that the previous case-handling personnel had already grasped and investigated.

"After preliminary investigation, the bullet came from a 5.6mm small-caliber rifle. The tip of the bullet head is inverted, in the shape of a small mushroom."

As he spoke, he used his fingers to gesture the shape and characteristics of the bullet in the air.

"Under a magnifying glass, 6 rifling lines can be seen on the bullet head."

"This bullet isn't imported, but a domestically produced one. And although the caliber of the bullet is small, the rifle it came from has a lethal range of over a thousand meters."

Li Xuewu sat below and thought about it. This kind of rifle is actually too common. One with a lethal range of over a thousand meters and a 5.6mm caliber—this hell, you could find tens of tons of them in the capital.

Because this kind of gun is in the warehouse of the steel mill in large quantities; it is the main weapon equipment for militia training every year.

Perhaps knowing what everyone was thinking, Liu Zheng continued to introduce: "According to the experts' opinion, there are too many points regarding the firearms, which is not easy to find. Then let's start from the bullet's exit point and the gunman's motive."

"The bullet was fired around 10:30 on the morning of the 10th, and there has been no other movement since then."

Li Xuewu thought about today's time. This hell, a whole day has passed. With the wind blowing and snow melting on a snowy day, what else can you find?

Liu Zheng on the stage continued: "From the perspective of motive, important figures were all on the south side of the banquet hall, and the window where the bullet hole is located wouldn't have people coming and going, nor were there any important objects. So, from the point of the gunman's motive, there is no way to cut in."

Actually, as the case progressed to this step, everyone had a guess in their minds, and that was whether it was possible that it was an accident.

After all, the gun ownership at this time is too high, and the number of accidental injury incidents reported every year is numbing.

They are all cadres from the grassroots; who hasn't heard of such things?

Especially these cadres who carry guns; sometimes there are guns at home too. Li Xuewu himself has a hunting rifle.

Li Xuewu even used that gun to go hunting in the mountains with Fu Bin. Who cares where your bullet went?

But this kind of accident is fine anywhere else, but not here.

Wang Xueren was scolded because of this earlier.

The security department of the Great Hall conducted an investigation at the first opportunity, but after the investigation, they found that this shot couldn't hit anything at all.

Not to mention the power of the bullet, just talking about the position the bullet was aimed at, there was nothing.

So the tense hearts of the security guards relaxed slightly.

But Mr. Z, who had always been paying attention to this case, keenly sensed the attitude of the reporting personnel.

He specifically called Yu Huaiyou over and very seriously told them to perk up, be vigilant, and not let their thinking become paralyzed.

Being able to have a bullet shoot through the glass silently, regardless of the shooter's purpose, was enough to sound an alarm for the security guards.

The purpose is unknown, but the crisis is present.

After finishing his talk to Li Xuewu and the others, Yu Huaiyou went to a small conference room in the hotel, listening to the experts' discussion on the orientation of the shooting point.

Now only this one entry point remained, and they had to put effort into it.

With the current forensic technology, there weren't many experts in the whole country who could be brought out.

Those experts in the small conference room were still looking for research results from other countries.

There were too many projects when the older brother provided aid earlier; actually, no one looked at this kind of technology.

Generally, only relevant personnel in light weapons research or firearm design would pay attention to this kind of knowledge.

Now they were rummaging through boxes and cabinets, flipping through those textbooks page by page to find it, and asking relevant engineers to conduct arguments.

But the information they could get at this time was also very limited, so the experts were also charging forward with their eyes closed.

Just as the experts were discussing, Liu Zheng led the trainees in.

The experts sitting at the conference table frowned as they looked at the group of people who had come in noisily, with a very unwelcoming attitude.

This is nonsense. This ballistics isn't something that can be solved by having more people; are you digging a well?

However, Comrade Yu Huaiyou explained to the lead ballistics expert, Comrade Li Zhengfeng: "One person's plan is short, many people's plans are long. These are all excellent workers from our public security team. I actually hope to find a new entry point from them."

Li Zhengfeng looked at the trainees standing around the conference table and nodded, "Let's treat a dead horse as a living horse."

Yu Huaiyou twitched his mouth; he didn't dare to say the words about a dead horse. Even if this horse were truly dead today, he would have to bring its soul back!

That piece of glass had already been dismantled and was being displayed in the middle of the conference table, fixed in a wooden frame.

Because the wooden frame had a stand, Li Xuewu walked forward a few steps and carefully looked at the bullet hole on the glass.

There were two bullet points on the window glass, inside and outside. The bullet point on the inner layer of glass was lower than that on the outer layer of glass.

After finishing looking, Li Xuewu stepped back, while Huang Gan, who was standing with Li Xuewu, stared and looked at it for a good while.

Li Zhengfeng originally felt that these trainees coming over was just to add chaos. Seeing Huang Gan still looking, he frowned.

"What did you see?"

Seeing this old man ask him, Huang Gan hurriedly shook his head and said, "Nothing, it's just this shattered pattern..."

"The shattered pattern is nothing."

Li Zhengfeng curled his lips, tapped the textbook in his hand, and explained, "The bullet is in motion; it will sway when it encounters an obstacle, even when it encounters wind."

As he spoke, he raised his eyebrows and asked, "Which department are you from?"

This old man could talk eloquently in front of Yu Huaiyou, so his status shouldn't be low.

So Huang Gan didn't dare to say anything now and could only honestly reply, "Beijing No. 1 Detention Center."

"Sss~"

Hearing Huang Gan's answer, Li Zhengfeng twitched his mouth, and the expression on his face froze.

Even those watching the detention center are coming to offer opinions?!!!

Huang Gan listened to the expert's explanation and looked at the old man's expression, gave a dry laugh, and retreated.

After Li Zhengfeng glared at Huang Gan, he pointed at the glass and said to Yu Huaiyou, "According to the S-Union textbook, one can draw an arc between the two bullet points. Extend this line, and the other end is the shooting point."

Yu Huaiyou looked at the glass on the table and looked at the distance inside from the side, frowned, and asked, "Can you calculate where the shot was fired?"

Li Zhengfeng whispered a few words to the people beside him, and the middle-aged men beside him also frowned and replied a few words.

Subsequently, Li Zhengfeng nodded and said, "As long as the distance can be measured, the shooting location can be found."

"That's good. Please calculate it as soon as possible. The superiors are very anxious."

Yu Huaiyou waved his hand and said to Wang Xueren standing at the door, "Arrange a room for Comrade Zhengfeng and the others, and provide calculation tools."

"Yes!"

Wang Xueren saluted and said, "The tools and room are already prepared. They are next door. Please follow me."

Li Zhengfeng nodded to Yu Huaiyou and led the people next door.

And here, Yu Huaiyou frowned as he looked at the glass on the table, as if he could see who did it from the glass, and fell into deep thought for a moment.

A group of trainees saw the big shot sitting there thinking about things and didn't dare to make a sound to disturb him, so they all stood quietly.

And Huang Gan, who was standing beside Li Xuewu, gently touched Li Xuewu and asked in a low voice, "What do you think?"

Li Xuewu narrowed his eyes, turned to Huang Gan, and whispered, "Standing."

"What?"

Huang Gan didn't hear clearly what Li Xuewu said, so he asked again.

And Li Xuewu said very seriously in a low voice, "I said, I'm standing and watching."

"Holy shit!... Mmph!"

Huang Gan let out a "holy shit" when he heard Li Xuewu's answer, then remembered what place this was and hurriedly covered his mouth.

But at this moment, everyone was startled by this "holy shit," and their gazes all looked toward the position of these two old foxes.

During this period in the training class, Li Xuewu and Huang Gan were considered prominent figures.

On the first day of class, they played a trick on everyone, lowering their status and intending to launch a sneak attack, only to be recognized by the homeroom teacher.

Subsequently, Li Xuewu was stunning in the shooting class, and Huang Gan didn't want to be outdone, emerging in the driving class and becoming a teaching assistant with a professional driver's license.

These two guys never stopped; if you say they are incompetent, these older brothers and sisters wouldn't dare to ignore the grade sheet on the blackboard every day.

After all, those at the top of the ranking must include these two. Who isn't young?

But if you say they are excellent, every time they have class, they can always cause some trouble.

The fighting instructor taught half, and Li Xuewu taught half.

In the first half of the class, the instructor beat Li Xuewu; in the second half, Li Xuewu beat the instructor.

When the case analysis instructor said the beginning, Huang Gan could definitely tell the relevant case details.

Even how it was judged, why the judge judged it that way at the time, and how it was defined, could all be explained one by one.

These two guys could be considered to have played the training class thoroughly.

Especially on the train when they arrived, they were sleeping and eating; it was almost like setting up a banquet on the train.

Now, in front of the big shots from the ministry, these two guys started performing again. This made homeroom teacher Liu Zheng's eyeballs almost pop out, his teeth almost shattered, and he wished he could go over and strangle these two bastards right now.

Seeing the homeroom teacher glaring, Huang Gan hurriedly shrank his neck and stood behind Li Xuewu.

And Yu Huaiyou's train of thought was interrupted, and he habitually frowned and scanned the room.

Although the trainees were standing and Yu Huaiyou was sitting, the innate conditions of status difference made them terrified by the big shot's scanning.

"Mmph~"

Yu Huaiyou realized that the experts had left, and the trainees were still standing there waiting.

"You guys, what are your views on this, this piece of glass? Speak up."

As he spoke, he pointed at the glass in the middle of the conference table and asked everyone.

Seeing that everyone was a bit hesitant, he waved his hand at Liu Zheng, signaling him to arrange for everyone to speak.

Actually, Yu Huaiyou also wanted to try his luck; what if this collision of ideas found the key point to breaking the case?

Liu Zheng glared at Li Xuewu's side, then said to the trainees, "Everyone has seen the physical evidence. This case is urgent and the task is heavy. I hope everyone attaches enough importance to it."

As he spoke, he reminded, "While everyone is offering suggestions and pooling wisdom, you must also speak cautiously. Only say what is useful."

The first part was for everyone, and the second part was for the two youngest old foxes in the class.

The meaning was very clear: say what's useful, say less of what's useless.

And Li Xuewu and Huang Gan behind him looked at each other and chose to say nothing at all.

And Yu Huaiyou, hearing Liu Zheng's words, waved his hand with a smile and emphasized, "Don't be so nervous. Let them speak. Don't stifle their thinking."

As he spoke, he also smiled at everyone and said, "If you have any ideas, you can say them directly. Don't be afraid of being wrong. Ah, I just want to hear different opinions."

Liu Zheng wanted his students to perform well in this case. This wasn't just an opportunity for the trainees, but also his honor.

After all, the opportunity for big shots to become familiar with their faces was very rare.

And among these trainees, the relatively mature and steady one was Class Monitor Zhou Zhengquan.

Zhou Zhengquan saw the homeroom teacher signaling to him, and his heart began to beat like a drum.

He was a logistics cadre; he had seen plenty of bullets, but how they were fired, where they hit, and what they looked like—he hadn't studied that.

He had fired the most shots during this training class, and he hadn't touched a gun since he became a deputy section-level cadre.

But at this moment, he had to bite the bullet and rush up. This was the homeroom teacher's intention, to rise to the political level...

"Mm~ Report."

Zhou Zhengquan stood at attention and shouted a report.

And Yu Huaiyou aimed his line of sight at Zhou Zhengquan. Seeing that he was the son-in-law of old Zheng from the ministry, he nodded encouragingly and said, "Speak."

Zhou Zhengquan then said, "I agree with the experts' opinion. The shooting location is the key point to breaking the case. Based on the shooting position, a search can be launched. Based on the shooting time, relevant personnel can be determined."

Hearing Zhou Zhengquan's statement, Huang Gan, standing behind Li Xuewu, whispered, "This fart is reasonable, but it can only be treated as a fart."

Several people beside him heard Huang Gan's muttering and pursed their lips, smiling.

And Zhou Zhengquan, standing opposite, also saw everyone's expression, and his face turned red all of a sudden.

"Mmph~"

Yu Huaiyou looked at Zhou Zhengquan after hearing this, nodded, and didn't say any comments, but looked at the others and asked, "Is there anyone else who wants to speak?"

Just when everyone was looking at each other, hesitating whether to express their views, the conference room door was pushed open.

"Calculated it."

Li Zhengfeng led people in a rush and said to Yu Huaiyou, "According to the calculation method given in the textbook, the approximate shooting position was obtained."

Yu Huaiyou stood up as soon as he heard Li Zhengfeng's words and asked seriously, "Where is it?"

Li Zhengfeng said very definitely, "On the street."

"What the hell?"

Everyone in the room was startled by Li Zhengfeng's words. Shooting on the street, this isn't a joke, right? Where do you think this is?

Facing Yu Huaiyou's question, Li Zhengfeng replied very steadily, "After our unanimous analysis, this bullet should have come from the fast lane of Changan Street."

The experts who came in with Li Zhengfeng also nodded in agreement with Li Zhengfeng's point of view with serious expressions.

Yu Huaiyou looked at Li Zhengfeng and frowned, asking in disbelief, "Shooting while standing on the street?"

"No, not necessarily."

Li Zhengfeng shook his head and said, "We also thought of this problem. We infer that someone was sitting in a vehicle driving in the fast lane of Changan Street, raising a gun and shooting at the banquet hall."

"Pfft~"

Just as Li Zhengfeng finished speaking, a faint sneer was heard from the trainee team.

This sound was very light; usually, no one would notice it.

But at this moment, everyone was listening to the expert speak, so this sound was very obvious.

Li Zhengfeng turned his head with a very ugly face to look in the direction the sound came from.

And Liu Zheng, who was standing on the side, also frowned when looking in the direction of the sound. These two...

Yu Huaiyou also discovered Li Zhengfeng's action. Just as he wanted to speak, he saw Li Zhengfeng ask the big trainee standing over there, "Do you have any different opinions?"

Li Xuewu looked at Li Zhengfeng, looked at Yu Huaiyou and homeroom teacher Liu Zheng, and then looked at the gazes of the surrounding classmates. He really wanted to step aside and let the culprit behind him come out.

I hell didn't say a word; it was all this chatterbox hiding behind me who was launching the big move!

But at this moment, everyone was looking at him, and Li Zhengfeng was also coming at him. No matter how he explained it, he would be at a disadvantage.

"Yes."

Li Xuewu nodded in everyone's surprised gazes and said, "I haven't read that textbook of yours, but I looked at the degree of damage to the glass. The calculation method you mentioned doesn't apply to the shooting situation at that time."

Hearing Li Xuewu directly deny the expert's opinion, the trainees in the room were stunned.

Liu Zheng now just wanted to walk over and cover Li Xuewu's mouth. You don't believe the expert's words—this is already arrogant to the extreme.

Huang Gan, who was behind Li Xuewu, reminded him in a low voice, "Big brother, there's no need to be so loyal..."

Li Zhengfeng looked at Li Xuewu and asked, "What unit are you from?"

Li Xuewu saw that Li Zhengfeng was still asking the question he asked Huang Gan earlier. Clearly, he looked down on these grassroots cadres.

The grassroots cadres at this time indeed had many who came from humble beginnings, relying on a sense of justice to maintain public security.

To put it bluntly, their cultural level was low, and they relied entirely on brute force.

And Li Xuewu saw that Li Zhengfeng's attitude had been dismissive from the beginning, which could be seen from the attitude when he asked Huang Gan earlier.

He didn't expect that he would come at him again now. Li Xuewu naturally wouldn't indulge him.

"Security Department of the Steel Mill."

"Hehe."

Li Zhengfeng nodded with a light laugh and said, "It seems there are capable people in the steel mill. Even the security department understands ballistics."

"You're too kind. It's just practice makes perfect."

Zhou Zhengquan, standing opposite the conference table, saw Li Xuewu and the expert clashing. Seeming to be clearing the siege for his classmate, he frowned and said, "Li Xuewu, this is a ballistics expert. Hurry up and apologize to Expert Li."

Li Xuewu looked at Li Zhengfeng, who had been looking at him with a bad eye since the trainees entered the room, and was staring at him with narrowed eyes. He said with a light laugh, "Experts aren't necessarily right sometimes. If you believe everything in books, couldn't anyone become a professor?"

"Besides, didn't he ask me? I just said my own thoughts."

"Alright."

Yu Huaiyou tapped the table lightly with his fist and said, "Time is urgent. Let's start the investigation in this direction."

He had agreed to transfer the training class trainees back, and he was the one who wanted to hear different opinions. Since Li Xuewu said so, he naturally wouldn't say anything to Li Xuewu, but Li Xuewu's words just now also stung Li Zhengfeng.

The expert's face still had to be saved, so Yu Huaiyou still stopped him, and then signaled Liu Zheng.

Liu Zheng saw Yu Huaiyou's signal and frowned, nodding.

After Yu Huaiyou led the experts out of the conference room, Wang Xueren glanced at Li Xuewu and then carried out the search according to the established target.

Wang Xueren also looked down on Li Xuewu. A security cadre from a factory, acting so arrogant—what reason did he have to question an expert? Isn't this adding chaos for everyone?

Actually, Wang Xueren had deeper concerns, and that was that this person must be caught by them.

The Great Hall was shot at; his face as the person in charge of security had already shattered along with that piece of glass.

Now that piece of glass had been replaced, but his face was still lying on the ground.

So he was dissatisfied when Yu Huaiyou transferred trainees back to participate in the case handling. He was truly afraid that someone here would come and solve the case.

Now he was afraid that the case wouldn't be solved, and also afraid that if it were solved, it wouldn't be solved by him.

Liu Zheng looked in Li Xuewu's direction, then ordered the trainees, "Except for Li Xuewu, everyone else is now entering the special case group. Cooperate with the commander's command. Action!"

"Yes!"

Everyone agreed, glanced at Li Xuewu, and then ran out of the conference room door.

When Huang Gan reached the door, he wanted to say something to Liu Zheng, but was glared at by Liu Zheng.

When Huang Gan wanted to speak again, he was patted on the arm by Liu Zheng, and finally looked at Li Xuewu helplessly, following the team and running out.

When only Li Xuewu was left in the conference room, Liu Zheng walked forward.

Looking at Li Xuewu, who had a calm expression, he said, "You can state your doubts, but being disrespectful to experts is not right. Write a self-reflection and hand it to me. Make it profound! Go back to the dormitory first."

"Yes!"

Li Xuewu saluted and walked out the door under Liu Zheng's gaze.

Liu Zheng stood upstairs, watching Li Xuewu walking toward the dormitory building, frowning, not knowing what he was thinking.

The fast lane of Changan Street was flat, and the traffic flow was very heavy that day.

But if someone implemented the act of hiding in a car and shooting, if they seized the time, it would still be easy to investigate.

Yu Huaiyou, on one hand, arranged for Wang Xueren and Liu Zheng to lead the police force transferred from the bureau to conduct a large-scale investigation and look for eyewitnesses.

On the other hand, he reported the current situation to Mr. Z.

Today was already the second day, and Yu Huaiyou was under great pressure.

Mr. Z's attitude was very clear, and that was to find this person or organization and eliminate the hidden danger.

Before the action, expert Li Zhengfeng had already said that the bullet was fired around 10:30.

So, all motor vehicles passing by the entrance of the Great Hall between 9:30 and 11:30 on the morning of February 10th, logically, had to be investigated.

Good heavens, don't say that the number of vehicles in this era is small and easy to investigate.

The car ownership in the country in this era is small, but it depends on the place. Where is this? What kind of units are in the vicinity of this place?

And the number obtained from statistics was also very scary. Within this one-hour range, more than a thousand vehicles passed by the entrance of the Great Hall.

Good heavens, don't say that there was no such thing as surveillance in this era; even if there were, it would be enough to investigate for a while.

On the evening of that day, when Huang Gan returned to the dormitory, he was as tired as a dead dog.

But as soon as the door opened, the movement in the room almost made him kneel down in anger.

"Snore~ ah, snore~ ah, snore~ ah..."

Huang Gan took off his uniform and walked into the room. Seeing Li Xuewu on the bed, he looked like he was at his own home; he had already taken off his coat, half of his shoulder was exposed, and he was sleeping soundly.

"Hey, hey."

Huang Gan used his glove to hit Li Xuewu's big foot exposed outside the quilt and said with great envy, "Wake up, the fortress is about to be shaken down by you!"

"Mm?"

Li Xuewu's snoring stopped, and he raised his head to look.

Seeing Huang Gan standing at the foot of the bed, he took the M1911 from the quilt, used his left hand to turn off the safety, and asked, "Found it?"

Watching Li Xuewu's action, Huang Gan was about to be scared to pee.

If he gave him a shot while he was sleeping in a daze, where the hell could he go to reason?

"Are you hell surnamed Cao? You even hold a gun while sleeping!?"

Having been in the same dormitory as Li Xuewu for so long, Huang Gan had never known Li Xuewu had this habit. If he had known earlier, he wouldn't have been able to sleep at all.

Li Xuewu used the hand holding the gun to rub the sleep from his eyes, smiled, and said, "This isn't because you weren't in the room, I was scared by myself."

"Go to hell!"

Huang Gan dodged Li Xuewu's muzzle, flashed to the wall, pointed at Li Xuewu, and said, "Hurry up and put the gun down!"

He didn't dare to bet on whether there were bullets in Li Xuewu's gun. Not to mention the whole country, just in this capital, the number of people who died from accidental gun discharge every year was at least in the double digits.

He was still young, he had a wife, and he didn't have children yet.

He dared not gamble on whether Li Xuewu's gun had bullets in it; not to mention the whole country, just in this city of Beijing, the number of people who died from accidental gun discharges every year was at least in the double digits, even in the years with the lowest figures.

Li Xuewu smiled, put the gun into the holster hanging on the head of the bed, picked up the cigarette case from the bedside table, and lit one for himself.

"Found it?"

Seeing Li Xuewu put down the gun, Huang Gan then walked back to his bed.

He sat on the bed, reached out to pull a cigarette from Li Xuewu's cigarette case, and lit it for himself.

"Found his hell. That guy Li is just an old academic stick!"

As he spoke, he sprayed again, "That guy named Wang Xueren isn't a good cookie either; he's just a mad dog, barking at whoever he catches, hell!"

Huang Gan blew a puff of smoke and complained to Li Xuewu, "More than a thousand cars, we almost ran all over the capital."

Li Xuewu was also a bit surprised by so many cars and asked, "So many?"

"Can't be!"

Huang Gan bit his cigarette, loosened his belt a bit, sat further into the bed, and said, "Investigating car by car, the ones from the ministry nearby are easy to say; the cars are all in the warehouse, just check the vehicle logbook for that time. But hell, those factories and scattered units are a pain in the ass."

Li Xuewu nodded, knowing Huang Gan and the others' difficulties.

Whether in this era or the previous life, investigation work is not easy.

Huang Gan frowned and said, "Hell, now they find a license plate number and go find one, and then hell, find the person again, and hell, keep it secret. They use so many people, treating us like fools."

"Hehehehe."

Li Xuewu looked at Huang Gan's expression; it was the first time he had seen this kid swear. He was indeed tired.

Huang Gan saw Li Xuewu laughing, so he frowned and asked, "What did old Liu say to you?"

Li Xuewu gave a light laugh and said, "Isn't it this? Asked me to go back to the dormitory and write a self-reflection."

"Mmph~ Sorry, I implicated you."

Huang Gan sincerely apologized to Li Xuewu and explained, "I hell really didn't expect that guy to guess shooting while sitting in a car."

"Hahahaha."

Li Xuewu also laughed, waved his hand, and said, "It's fine, we're all brothers, don't talk about this."

Huang Gan's eyes searched the room. Seeing that there wasn't even a piece of paper on the table, he couldn't help but ask, "Where's the self-reflection?"

"What self-reflection?"

Huang Gan stared at Li Xuewu and said, "The self-reflection old Liu asked you to write!"

"Didn't write."

Li Xuewu smoked a cigarette carelessly.

"Didn't write?!"

Huang Gan jumped off the bed, stood on the ground, and said to Li Xuewu, "Old Liu is... you... you really didn't write?"

Li Xuewu raised his head, looked at Huang Gan, and replied with certainty, "I hell didn't write any self-reflection."

"You..."

Huang Gan thought about it, and it was indeed the case. Yeah, didn't write any self-reflection.

But thinking about it again, this isn't the case!

"No, I said brother, that's the homeroom teacher, your training class."

Li Xuewu waved his hand and said, "This isn't a training class; can he still grade me? Begging us for help and still throwing a temper? Spoiled them! Anyway, I'll go back after it ends. What can he do to me?"

"You..."

Huang Gan couldn't win against Li Xuewu. Seeing that it was meal time, he reached out and patted Li Xuewu on the shoulder.

"Don't worry, if old Liu targets you, I'll take my wife to make a scene at their house, make a scene with my Aunt Liu!"

Li Xuewu's shoulder was covered in goosebumps from Huang Gan's claws. This bastard wasn't just patting; he even touched him.

"Slap."

Patting away Huang Gan's claws, Li Xuewu pulled the quilt and burrowed into the bed again.

Huang Gan laughed "hehe" and said, "Still quite slippery."

Seeing Li Xuewu glaring, he said with a smile, "Let's go eat, don't lie down anymore. We still have to go investigate after eating!"

Li Xuewu tilted his head and asked, "Not resting at night either?"

"Of course!"

Huang Gan said with a bitter face, "Time is tight, and the task is heavy."

"Oh, then you guys have worked hard."

Li Xuewu nodded, pointed at the lunch box on the desk, and said, "Help me get two boxes of rice, and just say I'm wholeheartedly reflecting, with no heart to eat."

After finishing his words, he pulled the quilt up again to block the light from the lamp above his head, preparing to continue sleeping.

"Holy shit~"

Huang Gan listened to Li Xuewu's words, only feeling that hell, a group of white-haired animals he didn't know were running across his heart.

Watching Li Xuewu really preparing to sleep, Huang Gan picked up the lunch box on the desk and looked back before going out.

"Who the hell is being punished here..."

By the time he reached the cafeteria, Liu Zheng saw Huang Gan carrying two boxes of rice back, so he asked, "Didn't eat enough?"

"No."

Huang Gan gave a dry laugh and twitched his mouth. Seeing Liu Zheng's serious gaze, he still explained, "It's for Li Xuewu."

Liu Zheng heard Huang Gan's explanation and also twitched his mouth. This hell is throwing a temper.

"Sick?"

"No... no."

Huang Gan wanted to explain according to the reason Li Xuewu gave, but was afraid old Liu would jump up and hit someone.

So he blinked and explained, "He... he's sick. His stomach is a bit uncomfortable, and he's lying in the dormitory."

Listening to Huang Gan's donkey-lip-not-matching-horse-mouth explanation, Liu Zheng nodded and said, "Tell him, even if his stomach hurts, he still has to reflect. You should also pay attention to your words and actions."

"Yes!"

Huang Gan agreed and headed to the dormitory.

After putting down the lunch box, seeing Li Xuewu snoring again.

Huang Gan thought about Li Xuewu standing up for him, so he had to protect Li Xuewu from being wronged.

But hell, thinking about old Liu's stubborn temper, he himself in front of old Liu...

"Sinful!"

Li Xuewu woke up in the middle of the night and looked at the bed next to him; it was still empty.

These people are really working day and night, without sleep or rest.

He got off the bed, washed his face, touched the lunch box; the room was warm, and although the lunch box wasn't hot, it wasn't cold either.

The food at this hotel was really hellishly good. Li Xuewu slurped and ate all the rice in the lunch box.

After washing the lunch box, he checked the time, smoked a cigarette, and turned to get on the bed to continue sleeping.

By the time it was broad daylight, Li Xuewu opened his eyes and looked; the sun outside the window was high, and the bed next to him was still empty.

"How tired must they be after a whole night..."

Li Xuewu just said one sentence and hit the pillow again.

"Ah~ I hell am really damned. People are gloriously performing official duties, what reason do I have to pity them! I am the one who should be pitied!"

Li Xuewu jumped off the bed, stretched, and walked to the door with his well-rested eyes to take a look; the corridor was quiet.

Touching his stomach, Li Xuewu had eaten a meal at night and didn't feel hungry.

He took out the thesis in his luggage and started writing, just taking advantage of this time to do his homework.

As for the self-reflection?

What kind of thing is that? Li Xuewu had never written that kind of thing since he was born.

There is only Li Xuewu who gets his butt beaten, absolutely no Li Xuewu who regrets and blames himself!

From the time the trainees stopped classes and returned to participate in solving the case, to the contradictions in analyzing the case, to the expert drawing the direction of detection.

The vehicles at the scene were one by one excluded from suspicion, and the person who fired the gun seemed to have evaporated from the world, slow to emerge.

Watching time pass second by second, two days passed, and no one provided eyewitness evidence in this regard.

And Li Xuewu also slept well and ate well in the dormitory while blaming himself, repenting, and feeling guilty... reflected for two days.

At noon on the 13th, Huang Gan ran back with dark circles under his eyes and said there was a discovery.

"Found what?"

Li Xuewu looked at Huang Gan, who didn't even eat lunch after returning, didn't take off his clothes, and was about to sleep after lifting the quilt, and asked.

Huang Gan looked at Li Xuewu, who was full of energy and had no intention of reflecting, and said with great regret, "Maybe the expert guessed right."

"The target vehicle was discovered early this morning. Wang Xueren, who led the team, was like he had been injected with chicken blood, went to catch people, and told us not to check anymore, to come back and sleep first."

After explaining to Li Xuewu, he cursed Wang Xueren, who ate human food but didn't do human work and killed the donkey after it finished grinding, and then Huang Gan started snoring.

Li Xuewu thought about it, don't know what happened, so he shook his head and continued with his thesis.

The matter hadn't reached the final step yet, so let's walk and see. Apologizing, it's never too late, but slapping the face, it must be timely.

When eating at night, Li Xuewu got a box for Huang Gan.

Seeing Li Xuewu come out, Wang Zheng walked over, pulled Li Xuewu, and asked, "My second brother said the homeroom teacher asked you to write a self-reflection?"

"What about it?"

Li Xuewu looked at Wang Zheng, who was acting mysterious, not knowing what this girl wanted to say.

Wang Zheng saw that there were trainees who had woken up and were eating looking this way, especially the class monitor's gaze.

"I'm done eating. Let's go, let's go to your room and talk."

As she spoke, she pulled Li Xuewu and walked toward the room direction.

Li Xuewu looked back at the classmates' concerned or mocking gazes and followed Wang Zheng back to the dormitory.

As soon as they entered the room, Wang Zheng let Li Xuewu pass, and then closed the door.

After Li Xuewu put the lunch box on the desk, Wang Zheng told Li Xuewu what happened in the afternoon.

It turned out that during the investigation, a truck attracted the key attention of the case-handling personnel.

That was a large truck from the Beijing Institute of Geology, carrying 42 5.6mm rifles.

According to the person in charge of the institute, they were military training equipment, sent back to the school after maintenance.

"Isn't this very normal? Our factory also uses this kind of weapon."

Seeing Li Xuewu say this, Wang Zheng shook her head and said, "The key point is that when the vehicle was halfway, outsiders hitched a ride, and the time was also close to the time the Great Hall was shot at."

"What can this explain?"

Li Xuewu looked at Wang Zheng and said, "The more people, the more impossible it is. The driver and the escort aren't fools; they wouldn't hear the gunshot?"

"Don't know."

Wang Zheng shook her head and said, "That Wang Xueren has already brought people back for interrogation."

As she spoke, she looked at Li Xuewu and persuaded, "You've already written a self-reflection for three days; it should be finished."

"Oh?"

Li Xuewu looked at Wang Zheng and smiled, saying, "Wait a bit longer. The self-reflection written earlier wasn't profound enough. I think I can write it even more profoundly."

"Pro..."

Wang Zheng knew that although Li Xuewu looked easy to talk to and was easygoing, the more such a person was, the more stubborn they were.

"Don't worry, the homeroom teacher won't be able to do anything to you if you don't write this self-reflection. If not, I'll call my dad. I don't believe one can't express their own opinions here!"

Li Xuewu looked at Wang Zheng, who was quite loyal, nodded with a smile, and said, "Okay."

Just as Li Xuewu guessed, Huang Gan slept for a whole night. By the time the three of Li Xuewu went out for breakfast the next morning, there was still no result in the case.

The trainees eating in the cafeteria didn't look at Li Xuewu with as much confidence as before, and the gloating gazes were also much fewer.

Now everyone was watching, just wanting to see how long Li Xuewu would write this self-reflection.

Every day that passed, the intensity of the tug-of-war between Li Xuewu and the homeroom teacher doubled.

Homeroom teacher Liu Zheng hadn't appeared in the cafeteria all this time, and the trainees who wanted to see Liu Zheng and Li Xuewu clash temporarily couldn't realize it.

Actually, the result had already come out. Wang Xueren led the interrogation experts from the Municipal Bureau to interrogate the people on that truck one by one.

They even invited the families of relevant personnel to come for investigation, and the commotion was very big.

The result disappointed them. These people didn't use guns at all.

Those guns were fixed in boxes, and they couldn't be opened at all during transport.

And after the light weapons experts checked those guns, they didn't find any traces of shooting after maintenance.

After this vehicle with the most suspicion was excluded, the clues were completely broken. ===== CHAPTER 353 =====

Moreover, after the light weapons experts inspected those firearms, they found no traces of them having been fired after maintenance.

After this most suspicious vehicle was ruled out, the trail was completely broken.
