Chapter 1385 The truth of the past, the downtrodden Niu Dali

Zhou Chen took people to investigate as soon as possible. Although the members of the Fourth Squadron did not understand why Zhou Chen was so sure that this murder case was related to the previous dismemberment case, they still obeyed Zhou Chen's orders as always.

This time Zhou Chen was determined to catch Ding Guian, so he took half of the members of the Fourth Squadron, and with the cooperation of criminal police from Songlin and other places, it took more than three months to finally arrest Ding Guian, who had been on the run for a long time.

When Ding Guian was really caught, the members of the Fourth Squadron looked at Zhou Chen in a very strange way. In the past, they did not really believe that Ding Guian was the murderer, but just followed Zhou Chen's orders to investigate.

But the facts proved that Zhou Chen was right. Ding Guian, who they thought was the victim, was actually the murderer of the dismemberment case and serial murders. If it weren't for Zhou Chen's insistence, Ding Guian might still be on the run and might even continue to kill.

Therefore, everyone admired Zhou Chen very much and felt that it was because of Zhou Chen's persistence that they were able to catch the real murderer.

After solving the case, Zhou Chen felt relieved. If Ding Guian was caught, there would be no next victim.

Although he himself had killed countless people, his killings were different from those of Ding Guian. His killings had a purpose, while Ding Guian's were pure crime, which was done to satisfy the disgusting madness in his heart. Therefore, he always looked down on such criminals.

The Ding Guian case was also a major case, and Zhou Chen, who solved the case, was naturally credited with another achievement.

One day in 88, Zhou Chen was called to Captain Jiang’s office.

"Team Jiang."

"Xiao Zhou, come and sit down."

Captain Jiang warmly invited Zhou Chen to sit down, poured him a cup of tea, and then started talking.

"I asked you to come here because there is something great going on."

Zhou Chen's expression remained unchanged: "Captain Jiang, please go ahead."

Captain Jiang didn't keep the secret any longer and said with a smile, "If you say it's a good thing, then it's definitely a good thing. The province has recently organized a training class for the public security department. There are only about 20 places in total. All those who can enter are the elite backbones of the public security department, and you are one of them..."

Listening to Captain Jiang’s narration, Zhou Chen understood what was going on.

This advanced training class is similar to the cadre training class of the public security department. Only the elites in the police force can enter. The places are very limited. Without ability and connections, it is impossible to get in.

Zhou Chen was also very surprised that he could get in, because after all, he was just a squadron leader of the criminal police brigade. He had no connections and no background. Under normal circumstances, such a good thing would never happen to him.

Captain Jiang explained to him that his quota was appointed by the province, and that although he was only the captain of the criminal police squadron of the Railway Bureau, he had handled many major cases and was followed by people in the city and province, so he was able to get a quota.

I thought Zhou Chen would happily agree, but to Jiang's surprise, Zhou Chen hesitated for a moment and actually asked, "Captain Jiang, can we not go to this refresher course?"

"What? What did you say?"

Captain Jiang's eyes widened, and he looked at Zhou Chen in disbelief: "What nonsense are you talking about? You're not going? This is such a rare opportunity. If you go there, you will definitely have a bright future. With such a good opportunity, you actually asked if you could not go. Did you get brain damaged by handling cases?"

Seeing Captain Jiang losing control of his emotions and yelling, Zhou Chen explained: "Captain Jiang, you also know my situation. My son is so young. If he goes to the advanced training class, he won't be able to go home for a long time and won't be able to see him..."

"you you."

Captain Jiang pointed at Zhou Chen. He thought Zhou Chen had something important to say, but he didn't expect it to be this? What kind of reason is this?
He angrily scolded Zhou Chen a few words, saying that Zhou Chen was the only vacancy in the Ningyang Railway Bureau, and he had to go whether he wanted to or not, and there was no room for negotiation.

Zhou Chen was also very depressed, he really didn't want to go. Of course he knew what this advanced training class meant, but he was really not that interested. When he became a policeman, it was more to complete the mission and he never thought about how high he would climb.

How could a man who had even been an emperor, and had lived for hundreds of years and dozens of worlds, be interested in such things unless he had to?

But he also knew that Captain Jiang was doing this for his own good. The captain of the criminal police brigade had always been extremely kind to him and could be considered his mentor. So even when Captain Jiang scolded him harshly, he just kept smiling and did not refute or disagree.

But it was his attitude that made Captain Jiang even more angry. Although he was only 30 years old, he was even more oily than some old guys in their 40s.

He knew very well how precious this opportunity was to Zhou Chen. He firmly believed that Zhou Chen's future achievements would be much higher than his, so he was even more reluctant to see Zhou Chen go astray.

So after sending Zhou Chen away, he called Ma Kui over. Everyone knew that Zhou Chen was a man who loved his wife. As long as Zhou Chen's wife agreed, it would be equivalent to persuading Zhou Chen.

Zhou Chen's wife was Ma Kui's goddaughter, so he explained the situation to Ma Kui and asked Ma Kui to talk to Peng Yongli.

When Ma Kui heard this, he patted his chest and made a promise on the spot. Like Captain Jiang, he felt that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. He also felt that Zhou Chen was crazy, so as an elder, he had to correct this mistake.

When Zhou Chen returned home in the evening, Peng Yongli pulled him into the living room to talk and they talked about the advanced training class.

"Lili, who told you that, Uncle Ma?"

Peng Yongli answered very honestly: "Well, Second Dad told me that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. You shouldn't give up. Don't worry about me and Ningning. I'm already an adult. Second Dad and my sister are still here in the courtyard, as well as Mrs. Wu. It's okay."

"But this time I go, I won't be back for at least a month."

"It's okay, I'll wait for you at home."

Peng Yongli smiled. In fact, compared to Zhou Chen going out to solve cases, she felt more at ease seeing Zhou Chen attending meetings and studying. At least he would not be in danger.

Zhou Chen sighed softly. The reason why he didn't want to go was, firstly, he had no interest in it, and secondly, he was really worried about his wife and children.

But seeing Peng Yongli's attitude, he thought about it and agreed.

Zhou Chen agreed to go, which made Captain Jiang very satisfied. He praised himself highly and said that compared with him, Zhou Chen was still a little immature.

Before leaving, Zhou Chen went to find Ma Kui and had a drink with him.

"Uncle Ma, I'm leaving in a few days. As for Lili and Ningning..."

Ma Kui laughed heartily and said, "You study hard, and leave Lili and Ningning to us. We are a family with so many neighbors in the compound, can't we take care of Lili and the others? You study hard and don't worry about your family."

"Thank you, Uncle Ma."

Zhou Chen toasted them promptly, then said hesitantly, "Uncle Ma, there is one more thing, Wang Xin and Ma Yan..."

Before he could finish, Ma Kui's face changed and he interrupted him stiffly: "You don't have to say anything about this. Wang Xin is a good guy, but I will never let my daughter be with him. Never."

"Uncle Ma, don't be angry. Anger is bad for your health."

Zhou Chen carefully comforted Ma Kui, and only spoke again after he calmed down.

"Uncle Ma, I can see that you not only don't hate Wang Xin, but you like him very much. The reason you don't agree with him and Ma Yan being together is because of Uncle Wang, right?"

"Do you know about my relationship with Wang Yongge?"

He was not surprised that Zhou Chen knew about what happened between him and Wang Yongge, but he didn't understand why Zhou Chen still tried to persuade him if he knew it.

Zhou Chen said, "Uncle Ma, I have a general understanding of what happened to you back then. I also heard from my father-in-law that the reason you were sentenced to ten years in prison was because no one testified for you. The only person who could testify for you at the time was Uncle Wang, but he didn't stand up, so you hate him so much. Wang Xin was completely implicated by Uncle Wang, right?"

Ma Kui slammed his wine glass on the table and shouted angrily, "It was because of Wang Yongge in the first place. I really don't understand why he didn't testify for me. If he had testified for me back then, how could the things that happened later have happened? I was wrongly imprisoned for ten years, Sufang became ill because of it, and Yan'er suffered discrimination since she was a child. All of this was caused by Wang Yongge."

When talking about this matter, his heart was filled with anger. In his opinion, the current situation of their family was caused by Wang Yongge.

"I heard that you and Uncle Wang used to have a good relationship, so why is he unwilling to testify for you?"

"Twenty years have passed, and I still can't figure it out. He clearly saw that I didn't hurt anyone, so why was he unwilling to testify for me? I can only guess that he must have had some evil intentions."

Zhou Chen saw that the time was almost right, so he said, “Uncle Wang’s character is trustworthy in the compound, and he doesn’t seem like the kind of person who would frame his friends, but we are all police officers, and based on our experience in handling cases, I think Uncle Wang’s unwillingness to testify is likely due to a situation.”

"What kind of situation?"

Ma Kui's eyes were bright. He had always wanted to get to the bottom of this matter that had troubled him for twenty years. After he was released from prison, he had looked for Wang Yongge several times, but he had never gotten an answer.

Zhou Chen is now a famous detective in the criminal police brigade. He has also witnessed Zhou Chen's case-handling thinking many times. Maybe Zhou Chen can really see something.

Zhou Chen said: "I think Uncle Wang didn't come out to testify for you. It's very likely that he has something fishy in his mind, as you said. If I help you testify and clear your name, it will probably cause me trouble."

Ma Kui's expression suddenly changed, and he asked in surprise, "You mean that the death of that person back then might have something to do with Wang Yongge?"

"Uncle Ma, I'm just helping to analyze and guess. As for what exactly happened, perhaps only Uncle Wang, the person involved, knows best."

Ma Kui's expression kept changing. Zhou Chen was right. Only Wang Yongge himself knew the situation at that time. Even if it was as he and Zhou Chen guessed, if Wang Yongge didn't say it, they would have no way of knowing the truth.

"I'll make him talk."

…………

More than half a month has passed since Zhou Chen went to the advanced training class. Although Peng Yongli missed him very much, she kept it to herself. As she was taking care of the children, she did not have the energy to think about so much.

During the time Zhou Chen was away, something happened.

Niu Dali, who had "made a fortune" in the south, came back. Compared to his glorious return last time, this time, he escaped back in a very embarrassing way.

He was wearing a tattered cotton-padded jacket, his hair was like messy straw, and he smelled terrible, just like the Nine-Pocket Elder of the Beggar Gang.

Niu Dali's miserable condition made the neighbors in the compound sigh. How glorious Niu Dali was when he came back, and how miserable he is now.

Especially those young people who were inspired by Niu Dali at the beginning, after seeing Niu Dali's miserable condition, all gave up the idea of ​​going to the south to make a fortune, and it was better for them to honestly prepare to inherit the iron rice bowl of the older generation.

Although Niu Dali was down and out, he never thought of giving up. He still wanted to go to the south to make a living, so he asked Wang Xin and Cai Xiaonian to borrow money.

But these two men are both henpecked, and each is poorer than the other, so they have no money to support him, which makes Niu Dali very angry.

"You two are far inferior to Zhou Chen. He is much richer and more generous than you. If Zhou Chen were here, he would definitely lend it to me."

Cai Xiaonian was not afraid of boiling water: "Then go and borrow from him. Although I can't lend you money, as long as you come back, I will provide you with food and drink."

But how could Niu Dali be willing to stay, because the only reason for him to stay was that Yao Yuling had already left the compound.

Yao Yuling left the compound in 87 and even quit her job as a broadcaster. It was said that she followed her man to develop her career in Shenzhen. The neighbors in the compound had no news of her for a long time.

Niu Dali returned in a dishevel because he didn't see Yao Yuling. He felt very sad, but at the same time he was also glad that Yao Yuling didn't see him in such a dishevel. At least in his son Yao'er's mind, he was still as high-spirited as when he left.

In the end, Niu Dali did not listen to the dissuasion of his neighbors and left the compound again. He still wanted to go to the south to try his luck.

Although he has been away for several years and is now down and out, he still does not want to go back to his previous life. He longs for success, but he cannot achieve it in Ningyang, so he can only go to the south.

Ever since the talk with Zhou Chen, Ma Kui had been feeling depressed. He really wanted to get to the bottom of what happened, so he went to Wang Yongge to question him again.

But unfortunately, Wang Yongge still insisted as before that he saw nothing at the time, so he could not testify at all.

Listening to Wang Yongge's nonsense, Ma Kui became even more angry. What happened back then almost ruined his life, so how could he not find out the truth?

Just at this time, Wang Xin and Ma Yan began to plan to get married again, and appeared in front of him together, trying to persuade him.

He was already filled with resentment and anger, and he could no longer bear it. He loudly scolded Wang Xin and Ma Yan, saying that it was impossible to agree to their request. Then he rushed to the Wang family to find Wang Yongge. If Wang Yongge still refused to tell the truth, he would completely cut off the possibility of Wang Xin and Ma Yan.

He found Wang Yongge full of anger and had an argument with him on the spot.
