Chapter 353: Everyone move aside, watch me start

~34 min read 6,743 words

Ever since that gunshot, no new accidents had occurred on the Great Hall side.

Although nothing happening is the best thing, this also led to solving the case becoming a difficult problem.

Yu Huaiyou sat at one end of the conference table with a frown, looking at the case-handling personnel and experts sitting on both sides of the table with a serious face.

Today was already the fourth day after the shooting occurred. He hadn't rested well these days either, putting all his heart and soul into this case.

Even the voice he used to speak now was a bit hoarse.

"Everyone speak."

"Cough."

Wang Xueren coughed, glanced at Yu Huaiyou's complexion, and said softly, "What's certain is that that vehicle wasn't the perpetrator's vehicle for this incident. Let's check again, expand the scope; there might be fish that slipped through the net."

"Still checking cars?"

Yu Huaiyou stared at Wang Xueren and said, "Do you want me to give you a year to check all the cars in the capital?"

"And then go check the families of the people in the cars? Haven't heard enough crying all night?"

Although this sentence was criticizing Wang Xueren, the leaders sitting there all knew that these words were directed at someone else.

Li Zhengfeng's face was very ugly. He took off his glasses, trembling, and used the glasses cloth in his hand to wipe the lenses.

"Perhaps... maybe... our investigation direction had a problem."

He said this sentence with great difficulty, his mouth trembling. After putting on his glasses, he looked at Yu Huaiyou.

"We admit our mistake and will also bear the corresponding responsibility. I will take full responsibility for this matter."

"Old Li..."

The other members of the expert group looked at Li Zhengfeng, who wanted to take full responsibility, and couldn't help but widen their eyes.

Some excited experts had already cast their gazes at Yu Huaiyou, wanting to say something but were too embarrassed to speak.

Yu Huaiyou looked at Li Zhengfeng and the expert group sitting with Li Zhengfeng.

"We organized this case analysis meeting to solve the case problem, not to pursue whose responsibility it is."

As he spoke, his finger pointed at the table and said, "I think that trainee was right. Experts' opinions aren't necessarily all right, and knowledge in books isn't necessarily all right."

These words made the faces of the expert group members turn red.

But in success or failure, who let their conclusion fail to solve the case?

Speaking of those trainees, Yu Huaiyou tapped the table again and said, "Go call those trainees up and listen to their thoughts."

Wang Xueren stood up and walked out. Now the leader was suppressing his anger, and if he was still sitting there, he might really burn himself.

Rushing downstairs, Wang Xueren waved at the trainees who were eating in the cafeteria, "Stop eating, everyone, the leader wants you all to go up."

After finishing his words, he was about to walk back.

And on the cafeteria side, Zhou Zhengquan stood up and was about to follow upstairs, while Deputy Class Monitor Wang Xiaoqin waved her hand, and the classmates sitting next to her all sat down again.

Other trainees saw that the people next to Wang Xiaoqin didn't move, so everyone sat back in their original positions.

Zhou Zhengquan walked a few steps and suddenly felt something was wrong. Looking back, everyone was sitting in their original positions looking at him.

"You... what are you guys doing? The leader said let..."

Halfway through his sentence, Zhou Zhengquan stopped, knowing that everyone had a situation here.

Wang Xiaoqin sat in her seat with a smile and gestured to Zhou Zhengquan, "Class monitor, you go."

"This..."

Zhou Zhengquan rolled his eyes, smiled, and said, "I am one with everyone. If you guys aren't going, what am I going for? Hehe, hehehe."

Wang Xiaoqin looked at him, curled her lips, and turned her head.

Study Committee member Wei Qing, sitting inside, looked at Hu Xianjin beside him and asked, "You say, what are they asking us up for this time?"

Hu Xianjin curled his lips, glanced at the door, and said, "Played it badly, so they have to find some audience to say some excuses."

"Hehe, played it badly and still acting so arrogant?"

"Hey, don't say that. People are security something, we are security something."

Wang Xueren's arrogance and attitude toward the trainees had long made everyone dissatisfied.

At the beginning, they were treated like mules and dragged all over the capital, tired for two days, all becoming dead dogs.

It was hard to say they found a clue, and hey, they were told they could come back and rest.

This hell, they had been tired for two days; who cared about being busy for one more night?

Everyone knew this was a piece of fat meat. This hell, couldn't eat the fat meat, but drinking a mouthful of soup should be fine, right?

Got it, this Wang Xueren's meaning was that they couldn't even drink the soup, just dry-stabbing.

Now that the case had hit a wall, everyone remembered Li Xuewu's words.

This hell, expert advice?

Now everyone just wanted to suggest that experts don't suggest.

This hell, if the case were solved, would Wang Xueren come down and call them up?

Listening to the classmates' ridicule, Hu Xianjin said with a smile, "Imperial guards, after all, have some arrogance. Let's turtles squat here and don't go up to make a fool of ourselves."

Just as he finished speaking, Wang Xueren's figure turned in at the door.

It turned out that after Wang Xueren notified the trainees, he went upstairs, but waited and waited, and no one came.

Rushing down to take a look, the trainees were still sitting in the cafeteria.

He had heard the discussion behind the door earlier, knowing that if this hurdle wasn't handled well today, he wouldn't have any good days.

"Comrades, I am Wang Xueren, the director of the Great Hall Security Department."

As soon as Wang Xueren finished speaking, Wang Xiaoqin took the lead and turned her body away directly.

This Wang Dajie also had a foundation at home. Once her temper flared up, director?

Don't look at the big sister being a deputy section level now; that's because it had to be.

Just like Director Wang, sometimes two people in the family can't both advance, right?

Seeing Wang Dajie turn her body, Hu Xianjin also turned his body.

Wei Qing sat beside Wang Dajie, even brought his lunch box over, and started eating again.

As soon as everyone saw the deputy class monitor's action, they all turned around, with their backs to the door, leaving only Class Monitor Zhou Zhengquan standing there in a dilemma.

Director, hehe.

Wang Xueren knew what was going on as soon as he saw it. He didn't pay attention to Zhou Zhengquan, who came over to communicate, but walked to Wang Xiaoqin.

"Comrade Wang, it's my work attitude that has a problem. I reflect."

As he spoke, he even turned around and said to the other trainees, "I was anxious and angry these past two days and ignored everyone's feelings. It's my fault."

Good heavens, a director apologizing to a group of deputy section-level cadres. The security guards standing at the door all widened their eyes.

Hey, sometimes things are just this unreasonable.

Hey, sometimes this matter has to be a bit reasonable.

Wang Xiaoqin turned her head and didn't speak, just watching Wei Qing eating with his lunch box.

Wang Xueren looked at Wei Qing, then said to Wang Xiaoqin, "Comrade Wang, everyone is for the work. I will write my mistake into a self-reflection and hand it to my leader. I apologize to everyone for my mistake now, but please don't delay the investigation of the case."

As he spoke, Wang Xueren walked to the back and said to the trainees, "I'm sorry to everyone."

Watching Wang Xueren bowing deeply, Wang Dajie stood up and said, "Everyone knows that credit looks good, but you can't have an ugly way of eating."

As she spoke, she had already turned and walked out. Wei Qing didn't eat anymore either, put down the lunch box, and followed out.

The trainees very tacitly didn't say a word and followed Wang Xiaoqin upstairs.

Zhou Zhengquan's face was very ugly as he walked at the back, and even further behind was Wang Xueren with a red face.

Some trainees knew there were still people in the dormitory, so they ran over to notify them, and those who hadn't woken up also got up and walked out.

Li Xuewu's room also heard the movement in the corridor. Huang Gan got up and was about to follow Wang Zheng out to attend the meeting.

But seeing Li Xuewu sitting motionless at the desk, he turned back.

"Hey, calling for a meeting!"

Li Xuewu didn't raise his head and said, "They're calling you guys for a meeting. My order is to write a self-reflection in the room."

As he spoke, he even wrote the three words "Self-Reflection" on his notebook with great seriousness.

But he couldn't move his pen for the content below. It wasn't that his writing was bad; it was that he had no experience.

Huang Gan saw Li Xuewu not moving, and with the urging in the corridor, he took Wang Zheng and went out the door first.

Wang Zheng was pulled out the door, looked back at the dormitory, and asked Huang Gan, "Second brother, is it okay if Li Xuewu doesn't go?"

"It's fine, don't worry about it."

Wang Zheng knew these two were going to play tricks again, so she stared and asked, "What's wrong?"

Huang Gan looked back and forth, whispered to Wang Zheng, "This bastard is being sneaky. Didn't you see? He hasn't moved his pen for three days, and now that the case has fallen into a quagmire, he starts moving his pen."

Wang Zheng stared and asked Huang Gan, "You mean...?"

"Mm."

Huang Gan pursed his lips and said, "I just said this kid has many schemes. It was right not to introduce you to him at the beginning, otherwise, you'd be sold and still have to count money for him!"

"Am I that stupid?!"

Seeing her second brother say this about her, Wang Zheng was the first to disagree, her footsteps paused, and she was about to make a move.

Huang Gan dodged his sister's punch and whispered, "It's not that you're stupid, but that Li Xuewu kid is too cunning!"

"Tch~"

Hearing Huang Gan's explanation, Wang Zheng walked upstairs and whispered, "Will the homeroom teacher punish him?"

"Him?"

Huang Gan laughed lightly, "Just wait and see. If it's not three visits to the thatched cottage, he won't even move. He won't spend these days in confinement in vain."

Wang Zheng stared and asked, "Where is he in confinement? Isn't he asked to write a self-reflection? Then he even saved himself from running back and forth for two days and two nights!"

"That's what I'm talking about!"

Huang Gan said with emotion, "Where can you reason with this? He put himself in confinement, watched us tired like dead dogs, while he sleeps soundly every day at home. He's even wronged and needs people to coax him."

As he spoke, he turned his head to look at his sister and asked, "You tell me, you tell me, is he hateful!"

"Mm."

Wang Zheng thought about it; it seemed to be the logic. She nodded and said to her second brother, "If you put it that way, I even want to give him a punch."

Huang Gan laughed for a while after hearing his sister's words, then whispered, "Hold it in for now, absolutely don't ruin his plan. No one knows if this kid has any follow-up moves. Whoever ruins his plan will definitely be targeted by him. We can't afford to suffer this loss."

Wang Zheng laughed, not fearing the excitement, "Second brother, you're afraid of Li Xuewu!"

"How is that possible? I'm not afraid!"

"You're afraid!"

"I'm not afraid!"

Looking at his sister's big eyes, Huang Gan curled his lips and said, "We call this like-minded."

"Pfft, birds of a feather flock together!"

The brother and sister followed the team into the conference room and then put on serious expressions, honestly standing at the door.

By the time the trainees all entered the conference room, homeroom teacher Liu Zheng saw that everyone's expressions weren't very good, and didn't know what had happened.

But at this moment, he didn't dare to say anything, and could only let everyone participate in the case analysis according to Yu Huaiyou's arrangement.

But at this moment, the case had already drilled into a dead end. How could they analyze it? Even Zhou Zhengquan could see that the leaders and experts sitting around the conference table were at their wits' end.

Yu Huaiyou listened to several people's statements, his brows furrowed even tighter. This was completely like blind flies bumping around; there were all kinds of arguments.

He looked at the experts sitting on one side with their heads lowered, and then scanned the people standing in the room.

"Hey?"

Yu Huaiyou turned to Liu Zheng, who was sitting on one side of the conference table, and asked, "Why isn't that little comrade who expressed a different opinion two days ago here?"

Liu Zheng searched around following Yu Huaiyou's words; that kid really wasn't there.

"Huang Gan!"

Liu Zheng saw Huang Gan standing at the door peering inside, so he called his name and asked, "Where is Li Xuewu? Call him over!"

Huang Gan saw that Class Monitor old Liu called his name, so he responded and turned to go out the door.

When he went out, he looked at Huang Gan, who was in a hurry, but as soon as he went out, Huang Gan walked back slowly.

After strolling back to the dormitory, looking at Li Xuewu, who was lying on the bed smoking, he laughed, "Hey! The first visit to the thatched cottage, I, little general Huang Gan, am out!"

As he spoke, he walked to Li Xuewu's side, picked up the cigarette case, lit one for himself, and started puffing away with Li Xuewu, completely ignoring the crowd waiting upstairs.

Li Xuewu smoked a few puffs. Seeing that this bastard Huang Gan was even more leisurely than himself, he asked with a smile, "What's the situation upstairs?"

"You already guessed it, didn't you?"

Huang Gan bit his cigarette, tightened his belt, then took the cigarette from his mouth and said with a smile, "You're hellishly divine. Just wait. If it's not an eight-bearer sedan chair carrying you, absolutely don't go up. Let them cool off."

Li Xuewu laughed after hearing Huang Gan's words and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? When did I say anything about an eight-bearer sedan chair? I'm busy writing a self-reflection now!"

"Yes, yes, yes."

Huang Gan had an expression of "we're good buddies, you hell say you're busy writing the imperial list and I'd believe it."

But glancing at the desk, hey, it really was a self-reflection.

A pure self-reflection; anyone who came would have to say this was a self-reflection.

Because there were only three words: Self, Reflection, Book.

After finishing a cigarette, Huang Gan tidied up his clothes, jumped, and moved his hands and feet.

As he did the movements, he said to Li Xuewu, "I'm leaving, you'll have to sit in front of the desk. Write a few words at least, just to show meaning, otherwise old Liu's face will be too ugly, and I won't be able to visit in the future."

Li Xuewu kicked Huang Gan and scolded with a smile, "I hell need you to teach me!"

Huang Gan went out the door, looked at the corridor, and accelerated his running with a kick of his feet.

By the time he pushed open the door to the crowd waiting anxiously upstairs, he was panting and reported, "Re... report, Li Xuewu he..."

As soon as Liu Zheng saw Huang Gan come up by himself, his upper eyelid twitched. Ever since this hellish case fell into a stalemate, he knew things weren't good.

Sure enough, the creditor had come looking for him.

"What about Li Xuewu?"

Wang Zheng, standing at the door, very cooperatively supported Huang Gan, and while stroking Huang Gan's back, asked, "Second brother, speak slowly, what about Li Xuewu?"

What about him? Don't you know what about Li Xuewu?

Huang Gan looked at his sister, whose acting talent was online, and silently decided that this sister shouldn't be in contact with Li Xuewu in the future; she would learn to be bad.

If she really couldn't be controlled, then she absolutely shouldn't provoke Wang Zheng in the future.

Learning to be good from himself is hard, but learning to be bad from Li Xuewu is like a slide!

"Hoo~ Li Xuewu... Li Xuewu..."

Don't know why Huang Gan is the same flavor as Li Xuewu. At this moment, he started panting while speaking.

He just said Li Xuewu and didn't continue. Seeing Liu Zheng glaring, he continued, "Li Xuewu said he's busy writing a self-reflection and can't leave the dormitory without an order."

Liu Zheng's face turned green when he heard Huang Gan's words. Can't leave the dormitory without an order?

Then who was the bastard running in the courtyard every morning and going to the cafeteria on time for three meals a day?

Yu Huaiyou raised his eyebrows when he heard Huang Gan's words and asked Liu Zheng, "What self-reflection? What's going on?"

Liu Zheng frowned and glared at Huang Gan at the door.

Li Xuewu, that little bastard, caused trouble, but Huang Gan, this little bastard, couldn't run either. If he wasn't the mastermind, he was an accomplice.

As long as one of these two people caused trouble, dealing with both of them together would definitely not be wronging anyone.

Looking at the little Wang girl who was acting along, Liu Zheng felt his brain throbbing.

If something happens in the future, and old Wang asks, "Is this what you teach in the training class?"

Then where would his old face be placed?

Will he see his old friend in the future?

A lifetime of reputation, destroyed by this...

These two...

These three...

"It's a self-reflection."

Liu Zheng organized his emotions and reported to Yu Huaiyou, "During the first seminar, Li Xuewu was disrespectful to Expert Li Zhengfeng, and his attitude wasn't correct, so I asked him to write a self-reflection in the dormitory."

"Oh?"

Yu Huaiyou knew what was going on as soon as he heard it. He looked at Li Zhengfeng, whose face was even redder, and said to Liu Zheng, "I don't see anything wrong. That day, everyone was discussing the matter, not the person. It was a normal discussion."

As he spoke, he also asked Li Zhengfeng, "What do you say? Comrade Zhengfeng?"

What could Li Zhengfeng say? Hell, rely on old age to bully the young? Bully the small with the big? A horse stumbling?

"Yes, I was also having a normal discussion with that little comrade. I didn't see his attitude being bad. Was it a misunderstanding?"

Got it, Liu Zheng also saw Yu Huaiyou and Li Zhengfeng's meaning, stood up with a smile, and said, "The one who tied the bell must untie it, hehe."

"Since you and Expert Li both say so, I'll go and smooth the fur of that stubborn donkey."

Laughing, he had already stood up and walked out. Yu Huaiyou also laughed at this moment and said to Liu Zheng, "Tell that little comrade, I am thirsty for talent, and I am sweeping the couch to welcome him."

Everyone in the room was amused by the leader's few words.

Don't know why they are leaders; a few words resolved the stalemate, and they could also find a bunch of reasons to explain their own mistakes.

Downstairs, Li Xuewu's brows were knitted into a knot, with a face full of official business, lowering his head and writing something on the paper.

He was so focused that he didn't even notice the homeroom teacher entering the room.

Mm, really didn't notice, too focused.

As soon as Liu Zheng entered the room, he saw Li Xuewu sitting in the chair with a face full of exhaustion.

On the table, bed, and floor, there were paper balls thrown around.

Coincidence, isn't it? There was a paper ball lying right in the aisle as he entered the room.

Liu Zheng bent down, picked up the ball of paper, opened it, and took a look.

Hey, he is indeed a character who has had articles published in newspapers. This self-reflection was written with novelty, full of tears and words.

He put the unfinished manuscript he had just finished reading aside, and then squatted down to pick up a ball on the bed.

Hey, it was different text again, but the content was exactly the same. The heart of repentance was such that even Liu Zheng felt Li Xuewu was about to become a Buddha on the spot.

He looked through a dozen unfinished pages in succession, seeing Li Xuewu still steadily hunched over the desk writing his self-criticism.

Hell, this kid is really willing to lose face, letting himself cool off here.

Liu Zheng didn't want to play with Li Xuewu anymore. He had time, but there were so many people upstairs.

Let who wait? Let Yu Huaiyou from the ministry wait?

"Writing quite well."

"Mm?"

Li Xuewu seemed to have just been startled by Liu Zheng's words, turned around suddenly, looked at the homeroom teacher, and widened his eyes.

"Teacher? When did you come?"

Pretending! Pretending! Pretending!

You hell keep pretending!

Liu Zheng now looked at Li Xuewu's actions and expressions, and couldn't tell whether Li Xuewu was truly fascinated or was pretending with him.

But as long as he didn't look at Li Xuewu, his first reaction in his brain was that this hellish kid was definitely pretending.

Someone who even carries a gun while sleeping wouldn't let someone get close to them?

But at this moment, Liu Zheng had to act out this play with Li Xuewu. If he exposed it, no one's face would look good.

Liu Zheng shook the self-reflection in his hand and said, "I think it's written quite well, it's okay."

"Mm~~~"

Li Xuewu shook his head with dissatisfaction, and said with a face full of regret, "I think it's not profound enough. Teacher, wait for me, give me a little more time, I can write it even more profoundly."

Still waiting?

Liu Zheng's mouth twitched. This little bastard doesn't release the hawk until he sees the rabbit!

Could it be that he really wanted him, this teacher, to apologize to this kid?

"I think it's quite good. How about we go to the meeting first, and then write it when you have time after coming back?"

"How can that be!"

Li Xuewu had an expression of being possessed, shook his head, and said, "Teacher, you said it, do things with focus, have a beginning and an end. I won't leave the room until I finish writing. Don't worry, I will definitely reflect seriously."

Liu Zheng stared and asked, "Did I say that sentence? Why don't I remember?"

Li Xuewu said very seriously, "You're just being forgetful. You also said let me write it profoundly, otherwise I can't leave the room!"

"Oh."

Liu Zheng nodded and said, "Seems like it really was me who said it."

"Isn't it? I'm strictly following the teacher's instructions!"

"Alright, stop talking nonsense!"

Liu Zheng checked his watch, knowing that if he kept talking with this little bastard, it would never end.

"The case has hit a stalemate, Li Zhengfeng has already nodded and admitted his mistake, and I've already come down. Let's stop while we're ahead."

As he spoke, seeing Li Xuewu still wanting to stiffen his neck, he continued, "Huaiyou Minister has said, if you don't come down again, he might come personally."

Li Xuewu looked at the unfinished self-reflection on the desk and said with difficulty, "Teacher, look at this..."

Liu Zheng crossed his arms, looked at Li Xuewu, and asked, "Are you going or not?"

"Sigh, loyalty and filial piety cannot be achieved at the same time since ancient times. I originally wanted to be filial to my teacher, but such a big case can't leave me. Sigh... it's difficult!"

As he spoke, he even sighed, looking quite troubled.

Seeing Li Xuewu loosen up, Liu Zheng patted Li Xuewu on the back and said with a smile, "Filial to me? You cause me more trouble, let me retire early."

"Hahahaha."

Li Xuewu was pushed out the door by Liu Zheng. This could be considered the homeroom teacher apologizing to him.

Otherwise, what else could he do? Stop while he's ahead. Could he really force Liu Zheng to apologize?

Seeing this stubborn donkey being led out by himself, Liu Zheng exhorted Li Xuewu before going upstairs, "After all, he is an expert. Pay attention to your attitude. Who knows who will need whom in the future? There's no need."

"Yes."

Li Xuewu agreed, "I just can't stand his arrogance. Asking where this came from, asking where that came from. Where did we come from?"

As he walked upstairs, Li Xuewu curled his lips indignantly and said, "We all came from your training class. Looking down on us isn't that looking down on you? Isn't that not giving you face? Can I indulge him?"

As soon as Liu Zheng heard this, hell, this kid played the donkey, but it was still for his own good.

Fine, if it's for his own good, then it's for his own good. Who let his mouth be sharp?

"Teacher knows you're a good comrade, but he's impolite, we can't get angry with him. This is work, right?"

Liu Zheng knew deeply that this stubborn donkey still had to be smoothed, otherwise he would kick.

"Yes, yes."

Li Xuewu said with an expression of being taught, "I just told Huang Gan, our teacher must know what I mean; he just doesn't bother to pay attention to those people."

As he spoke, he even promised Liu Zheng, "Teacher, don't worry, we are our own people. Your words are absolutely effective. I, Li Xuewu, will absolutely work hard. You watch, watch how I give you face."

"Good, good, good."

Watching this donkey go upstairs, Liu Zheng naturally agreed fully.

As for the pretty words Li Xuewu said, he naturally listened comfortably. Who doesn't like to hear pretty words?

As soon as he entered the room, Li Xuewu didn't look at anyone else, but walked to Li Zhengfeng first and saluted.

This immediately stunned everyone in the room, and even Liu Zheng, who followed him in, had his heart in his throat.

Wasn't it agreed not to kick?

They only saw Li Xuewu say with a face full of regret, "Report, I am Li Xuewu from the Steel Mill Security Department. I was impulsive that day and shouldn't have clashed with you. I'm really sorry."

Huang Gan, who was watching the excitement at the door, knew that Li Xuewu wouldn't let it go so easily after coming up so quickly. Sure enough.

Listen, what is "Li Xuewu from the Steel Mill Security Department"? A nobody. You guys are experts, didn't you look down on people before? Now you're asking a nobody to come?

What is "impulsive"? What is "clashed with you"?

Everyone in this room was a witness that day and knew Li Zhengfeng's

Li Xuewu continued at this moment: "I had intended to apologize to you in person earlier, but I was afraid of disturbing your handling of the case, so I have been reflecting behind closed doors, hoping to repent for my actions through the form of a self-criticism, and once again express my deepest apologies to you."

Is this damn thing an apology?

Hanging him from the rafters wasn't enough, and now he's using "disturbing your handling of the case" to lash out at him, right?

But this was a purely genuine apology, and an open and aboveboard one at that.

What could Li Zhengfeng do? He grimaced and had no choice but to stand up, take Li Xuewu's hand, and say: "We are all comrades; I was the one at fault that day. It was I who underestimated the heroes of the world; I am the one who should apologize first."

Well, Li Xuewu discovered that this old man wasn't such a great guy either; he was turning the tables on him right now.

You think you're tough, huh? If you want to beat me, solve the case first.

Yu Huaiyou had no choice but to step in and smooth things over; he hadn't expected that there would be such a little fox among this batch of trainees.

"We are all comrades, all working for the cause. I was just saying that the veteran comrade is noble and selfless, and the young comrade is humble and cautious—isn't this very good?"

Seeing that both Li Xuewu and the other man were looking at him, Yu Huaiyou pointed at Li Zhengfeng and said: "This is Comrade Li Zhengfeng, the Chief Engineer of the Light Weapons Research Institute. Young comrade, you should also introduce yourself so everyone can get to know each other and have more contact in the future."

"Yes!"

Li Xuewu saluted and reported: "My name is Li Xuewu, from Beijing. I joined the military at sixteen, joined the organization at seventeen, transferred to civilian work at nineteen, and am currently the Deputy Director of the Security Division at the Steel Rolling Mill and Deputy Director of the Public Security Division of the Dongcheng Branch Bureau. I am currently studying in the political cadre training class."

"Oh!"

Hearing Li Xuewu's self-introduction, Yu Huaiyou laughed: "So you're one of Old Gao's soldiers from Dongcheng!"

Liu Zheng stood behind Li Xuewu and introduced him with a smile: "Although Comrade Li Xuewu is only just twenty years old, he is a loyal soldier who has been tested by the flames of war."

Li Zhengfeng's words just now had also irritated Liu Zheng; one can only speak about one's own students, so he started to protect his own at this moment.

"Comrade Li Xuewu has rich command experience and upright political thought; in just a few months since transferring to civilian work, he has already made many great contributions."

As he spoke, he looked at Li Zhengfeng and then said to the leaders present: "The major '129' case at the end of last year was solved under his leadership, and he even suffered serious injuries, nearly failing to be resuscitated."

"Oh!"

Upon hearing this, Yu Huaiyou also stood up, walked to Li Xuewu, took the initiative to shake his hand, and said: "So you are the legendary detective everyone has been talking about!"

Li Xuewu was stunned when his hand was gripped by Yu Huaiyou.

What legendary detective? Yuanfang, what do you think?

Li Zhengfeng stood to the side, his expression also somewhat stunned. Isn't he just security for some damn factory? How is he a Deputy Director?

And a Deputy Director of the Public Security Division, no less?

This kid is really devious!

Feeling like he had been played, Li Zhengfeng felt like his teeth were about to shatter. If you had just said you were from the Public Security Division, would I have looked down on you?

The person who was watching the detention center earlier had created a stereotype for Li Zhengfeng, making him feel that these people were not professionals.

But he never expected that the second one would be a professional, but he had two identities, and this kid only mentioned the security one.

Yu Huaiyou pointed at the glass placed on the table and said: "Come, tell us your thoughts."

Li Xuewu looked at Liu Zheng behind him, looked at the experts sitting to the side, and then looked at the group of classmates.

Only Huang Gan understood Li Xuewu's look, which meant: Everyone move aside, watch me start showing off!

Li Xuewu walked to the edge of the conference table, picked up the piece of glass to look at it, and then began his performance.

"This is the restored glass. Everyone can see that the degree of shattering is uneven. What does this indicate?"

Without waiting for anyone to answer, he pointed at his good buddy Huang Gan and said: "My classmate had already proposed the correct investigative direction at the time."

Seeing Li Xuewu pointing at him and everyone looking his way, Huang Gan couldn't help but be stunned.

When did I propose that? Don't talk nonsense!!!

Ignoring the reaction of the crowd, Li Xuewu continued: "My classmate said at the time that the cracks were wrong. So, what was the reason for the cracks being wrong?"

As he spoke, he leaned his hand on the table, looked at Yu Huaiyou in front, and said: "Based on my many years of experience, it must have been caused by long-distance shooting."

"Long-distance?"

"Many years of experience?"

Seeing everyone frowning, Li Xuewu pointed at the glass on the table and explained: "The bullet coming from afar had already lost a lot of kinetic energy, but the bullet's wobble was definitely not as strong as that caused by wind resistance."

As he spoke, he picked up a pen from the table to demonstrate to everyone: "If the bullet were wobbling due to wind resistance, it would definitely have caused a very large area of tumbling when it hit the glass; the outermost layer of glass wouldn't have such a small hole."

Li Xuewu's words were equivalent to directly refuting the explanation Li Zhengfeng had given Huang Gan regarding the uneven crack patterns.

Seeing that everyone was stunned by Li Xuewu's words, Huang Gan couldn't help but lift his chin and look left and right.

See that? I discovered it first, I proposed it first!

Standing in the middle of the crowd, Li Xuewu pointed at the bullet hole on the glass and said: "But looking at the current bullet hole and glass crack patterns, this should be a bullet that exceeded its shooting kinetic energy limit and hit the first layer of glass in a parabolic trajectory."

At this moment, everyone was convinced by Li Xuewu's explanation, but Li Zhengfeng still didn't understand and pointed at the second layer, asking: "Then what about the parabola inside the glass?"

Li Xuewu glanced at Li Zhengfeng and used the pen in his hand to demonstrate between two upright notebooks.

He explained: "After penetrating the outermost layer of glass, the bullet's power weakened, changing its original direction; the bullet deformed and tumbled."

While explaining, he used the fountain pen in his hand to demonstrate the impact after the kinetic energy had weakened.

"When the kinetic energy weakens, the tumbling bullet lacks the energy to continue penetrating the glass, which is why the second impact point shifted significantly."

Li Xuewu looked into Li Zhengfeng's eyes and said: "Therefore, in summary, this piece of glass was absolutely not shattered by a bullet fired from someone sitting in a car."

"If it were a close-range shot, the degree of shattering on the first piece of glass shouldn't look like this either."

"At this time, if one still follows the extension line of the two impact points to judge the shooter's position, the result will definitely be erroneous."

Li Zhengfeng stroked his chin, frowning as he looked at Li Xuewu's demonstration, and asked: "Are you saying the bullet should have come from..."

"Correct."

Li Xuewu pointed with the fountain pen in his hand: "It should be in the residential area further to the north."

"How is this possible!"

It wasn't just Li Zhengfeng who asked this; everyone present had this question after hearing Li Xuewu's analysis.

At such a distance, a single shot hits the target, and it can penetrate the glass?

Li Zhengfeng frowned as he looked at the piece of glass, constantly thinking about Li Xuewu's words in his mind.

The experts sitting at the edge of the table were also frowning and drawing something in their notebooks.

The leaders sitting on the other side were also frowning as they looked at the experts opposite them, and at Yu Huaiyou, the general person in charge sitting at the head of the table.

It wasn't that they weren't cautious, but that the position Li Xuewu identified was one they hadn't expected, and one they didn't dare to think about.

If a bullet were fired from that position to hit the Great Hall, what kind of storm would that cause?

But conversely, they were under a lot of pressure too.

Investigating the passing vehicles on the Changan Avenue fast lane earlier had already alerted the enemy.

They had consumed so much manpower and time; if they still couldn't solve it, they would truly have no face to report back.

"You said many years of experience?"

Li Xuewu didn't expect Yu Huaiyou to ask such a question, but he nodded and said: "Yes, it is many years of experience."

Yu Huaiyou narrowed his eyes and said: "Tell us why."

Li Xuewu gripped the fountain pen in his hand, looked at Yu Huaiyou, and said: "I have very rich practical shooting experience. The Type 56 semi-automatic we use can actually hit targets at 1,000 meters, but many factors must be considered."

As he spoke, he picked up the fountain pen to demonstrate again, pointing at the head position: "For the mechanical sights of the Type 56 semi-automatic, one must consider the weakening of the bullet's mechanical kinetic energy at the point of impact. When hitting a person's head, one must consider factors like a steel helmet..."

After Li Xuewu explained to everyone how the soldiers at the time constantly experimented with using the Type 56 semi-automatic to precisely shatter enemy heads from over 1,000 meters away, the skepticism toward Li Xuewu was halved.

After all, everyone in this conference room had fired guns, and some had even shot people, but few were like Li Xuewu, who used practice to prove things and also studied how to shoot people.

Perhaps the experts present would study it, but they wouldn't practice it.

Yu Huaiyou looked at Li Xuewu and asked: "Do you mean to use this experimental method to measure the distance as well?"

Li Xuewu looked into Yu Huaiyou's eyes and said: "Yes, just use this kind of glass and a rifle of the same caliber, and experiment bit by bit."

"Hiss~"

After Li Xuewu finished speaking, the experts all showed expressions of contemplation, and the leaders present also began to discuss it in whispers.

Yu Huaiyou thought about the impact and urgency of the case, nodded, and said: "Do as you say. Go to the western suburb shooting range."

As he spoke, he had already stood up and said to Wang Xueren, who was standing at the door: "Prepare the cars, and go to the warehouse to load a few trucks of this kind of glass."

"Yes!"

Wang Xueren agreed and ran out, and the security personnel of the Great Hall also ran out behind him.

Inside the conference room, Yu Huaiyou said to Liu Zheng: "Indeed, heroes have emerged from the youth since ancient times; he's only twenty!"

He patted Li Xuewu on the shoulder with emotion and said: "Let's go, to the shooting range!"

Li Xuewu had originally intended to ride the large truck to the range with the trainees, but just as he stepped out, he saw Yu Huaiyou standing next to a 212, waving at him.

"You guys go ahead and get in the car."

He said this to the envious Huang Gan and then ran toward Yu Huaiyou's car.

This time, Liu Zheng specifically brought all the trainees to the shooting range; it wasn't for anything else, but just to let everyone have a learning process.

It wasn't to learn Li Xuewu's marksmanship, but to learn this way of thinking and ability to handle affairs when solving cases.

Li Xuewu arrived at the car, saluted, and pointed at the large truck, just about to speak, but was pulled into the jeep by Yu Huaiyou.

"Go."
