Indeed, it was a police pistol.
What?
Now everything was clear.
First, this gun was a police pistol, and its serial number was clearly visible. A police pistol is issued to only one officer.
So, by tracing this serial number, they could find the original owner of the gun.
And the gun owner was a primary suspect in both murder cases.
"Back then, my father must have discovered this fact, which led to his murder. He just didn't expect that the police officer had an accomplice. Upon learning that my father had uncovered the truth, this accomplice brazenly entered my home and committed heinous crimes."
Hu Jia was furious. People often say it's hard to guard against a thief in your own house. When a traitor appears among those close to you, it's indeed impossible to guard against.
Hu Jia and the others arrived back in Chongqing on a Sunday. The next day, when he woke up, he found that everything around him had changed again.
"You're saying my fiancée is my superior?" Hu Jia repeatedly confirmed with Li Yang.
"Yes, brother-in-law." Li Yang looked at Hu Jia with a half-smile, his eyes filled with a schadenfreude that clearly said, "I want to see you make a fool of yourself."
"Brother-in-law?" Hu Jia's mouth gaped open. What kind of title was that?
"Yes! Lu Qingqing is now our eldest sister, and you've hitched yourself to this big tree, so naturally, you've become brother-in-law?" Li Yang answered very seriously.
What?
Hu Jia was a bit bewildered.
Was this implying he was living off his woman?
"Don't tell me I can become the leader of the first team now just because I have a fiancée who is a captain?" Hu Jia couldn't stand being called a kept man.
But what could he do if he couldn't stand it?
Hu Jia distinctly remembered being just a low-level police officer. He never expected to wake up one day and become a cornerstone of the criminal investigation team, even holding a minor official position.
"The appointment of team leaders is indeed decided by the captain. Your appointment day caused quite a stir, and some even cried out about unfairness," Li Yang continued to mislead.
"No, no. I, Hu Jia, have always conducted myself with integrity. I don't rely on connections," Hu Jia said, preparing to walk out.
"Where are you going?"
"To find Lu, Captain Lu, and resign."
Hahaha...
Li Yang was overjoyed inwardly. He really wanted to see Hu Jia go to Lu Qingqing to resign. He wondered if his sister-in-law would immediately give him a flying kick and send him out.
Yu Yue glanced at Li Yang. This guy was truly enjoying the show.
"Boss!" Yu Yue called out to Hu Jia.
"What?" Hu Jia turned back.
"It's nothing. Just talk to Qingqing properly. She's quite reasonable."
Li Yang silently gave Yu Yue a thumbs-up. This woman was even more cunning.
...
At this moment, Lu Qingqing was also surprised. After going out for a walk, she had actually been promoted.
Just enough to be able to manage Hu Jia.
Haha, wasn't this why she wanted to join the training institute in the first place?
But now that her goal was achieved, her objective had shifted again.
"Qingqing!" Hu Jia saw Lu Qingqing as soon as he entered the room. She was sitting by her desk, lost in thought.
Ever since Hu Jia started experiencing memory flashes, he felt a sense of familiarity every time he woke up facing Lu Qingqing. For example, at this moment, he felt this girl was very worthy of marrying.
"Hey," Lu Qingqing turned to Hu Jia. "You know about it? The position of captain."
Yes!
Hu Jia nodded. "Captain Lu, I have something to discuss with you."
Hu Jia thought Lu Qingqing was reminding him about his workplace, so he immediately made a change in his address.
However, Lu Qingqing thought Hu Jia was teasing her. She deliberately cleared her throat and straightened her posture: "From now on, go out less often. Come to work on time and go home on time. You must greet me actively at the office, and when you get home, obediently cook dinner and wait for me. Otherwise, let alone being a team leader, I'll strip you of this police uniform."
Uh.
Hu Jia was taken aback. "Qingqing, have I really become that kind of person now?"
...
A few minutes later, a scream.
Li Yang fled in disarray.
Hu Jia clapped his hands. "Hmph, some people just deserve a beating!"
...
On Lu Qingqing's first day as captain, nothing unusual happened. Everything was normal.
However, in private, she instructed Zhan Ruoxuan to visit the Supervision and Discipline Bureau more often.
By the way, it was introduced earlier that the Supervision and Discipline Bureau is the place that oversees everything, from officials to soldiers, similar to the current Disciplinary Commission.
And Tong Hua was currently detained there.
"Don't worry, I've been keeping a close eye on it these past two days. I've rejected all requests to bail him out."
Lu Qingqing nodded. Having finally managed to trap Tong Hua, she intended to finish him off in one blow to prevent further trouble.
At the same time, Lu Qingqing also met with Tang Yinge. Her purpose was simple: if she wanted a smooth future, she needed to find the person who was wielding the knife.
However, Tang Yinge's lips were sealed, and he refused to say anything.
Lu Qingqing smiled. "Let me tell you a little secret. We've already found the secret behind those four sentences."
Tang Yinge's eyes flickered. "What four sentences?"
"Oh, so you don't know. Sigh, since you don't know, then it's not a secret anymore. If it's not a secret, then there's no need to tell you."
Saying that, Lu Qingqing shook her head and left with a look of regret.
Tang Yinge was left staring blankly.
Lu Qingqing's new appointment went very smoothly, as if she had been in the position for a long time, with no resistance. But for Hu Jia, this was the first day of his new memory cycle. Everything was new to him, and the most novel thing was that he wanted to see Luo Wenwu.
Five or six years had passed. He wondered if that person's hair was still thick.
"What did you say? He went to Yongchuan alone?"
"Yes, and he stopped Feng Si from telling anyone. Just now, when I asked Feng Si to get him on the phone, Feng Si couldn't keep it a secret any longer and told me the truth."
"This is reckless! Such a stubborn donkey. He hasn't contacted you for so long, and you didn't even ask him about it."
"Boss, you know his personality. If he intends to hide something, I..."
Li Yang was dejected and also full of regret. He had always thought Luo Wenwu was staying in Jiangjin to protect Xie's wife and children, but he never expected him to pull off a trick like a gilded cicada shedding its shell.
And because he had trusted the other party too much, he hadn't considered the possibility of an accident.
If nothing happened, it would be fine, but if something did happen, he would never forgive himself.
Hearing Li Yang's words, Hu Jia understood. After all, Luo Wenwu had that kind of personality; he wouldn't stop until he achieved his goal, especially when it came to solving cases.
"Go and find him. This person can be too stubborn sometimes. Before we fell out with Qiao Huali, he had some reservations when he acted. But now..."
Li Yang's expression changed slightly upon hearing this.
Indeed, before, they were all pretending, desperately putting on masks.
But now, when those masks were torn off, all prior affections would be worthless.
Moreover, Luo Wenwu's job was precisely to tear off the other party's mask.
Li Yang didn't dare to delay and left immediately. Seeing Li Yang's retreating back, Hu Jia helplessly rubbed his nose. These two were truly not one of them that caused him any peace of mind.
And Lu Qingqing, upon learning of this, also rushed over. Seeing Hu Jia's anxiety, she went forward to comfort him, "Don't worry. Since Wenwu could rescue Xie's wife and daughter from so many people, he might be safer acting now without any burden."
Hu Jia sighed. That was true. If he could escape with a woman and a child, he could certainly do it alone.
