Chapter 43: Who Can Understand

  "Airport Road? Is that the urban-rural junction in the western suburbs? Does Da Guanzhuang also belong to your jurisdiction?" Lu Zhong's face seemed thoughtful.

  "Alright, alright, it's over there." Wei Xiangxiu replied absent-mindedly, glanced at Lu Zhong twice, and suddenly became spirited: "Come on, try this tie. In the future, dress more tastefully, don't go out looking rustic, you're a deputy county-level cadre! You're not short of money either." Seeing that Lu Zhong was wearing a white shirt, Wei Xiangxiu chattered away while taking out a deep red floral tie from a paper bag to help Lu Zhong try it on and see the effect.

  Lu Zhong just laughed: "You're even more annoying than my mom! Besides, going out would be embarrassing for you!"

  The living room, a woman's shrill scream suddenly came, should be a rape scene in an action movie, only the camera seemed to linger for a long time, listening to the man's groans and the woman's painful moans...

  "What are you looking at?" Wei Xiang's pretty face was full of suspicion as she originally had her toes pointed and her tie hanging around Lu Zhong's neck.

  In the tall floor mirror, Wei Xiang's elegant and delicate little black high-heeled shoes on her feet curved up with a beautiful arc, which set off her slender figure. The green police uniform was dignified and elegant, and it also perfectly concealed her explosive and overly revealing sensual body that would make people feel unseemly. The lovely woman exuded an inexplicable temptation.

  Lu Zhong looked at Wei Xiangxiu's enticing back in the mirror and casually said, "Adult movie."

  Wei Xiang's face turned slightly red, but she didn't make a sound, and instead gently helped Lu Zhen tie his tie.

  Lu Zhong suddenly remembered that he and Wei Xiangxiu had joked about what was an action movie, and hurriedly said: "It's really an action movie, a gunfight action movie."

  Sure, here is the translation:

  As expected, a fight soon broke out in the living room.

  Wei Xiangxiu gently patted the smooth tie on Lu Zhong's chest and said, "Okay, take a look in the mirror, handsome or not." Turning her head to look at him, she lightly laughed and asked, "Isn't he too handsome?"

  "Look, we're quite a good match."

  In the mirror, Lu Zhong, wearing a white shirt with a red tie, looked less rough and more refined than before, giving off a very masculine and handsome vibe.

  "I'm not worthy of you." Wei Xiang's beautiful face dimmed slightly.

  Lu Zhong smiled and said, "How can you not match up? Look at your tall stature, this small figure... so good..." His hand was a short distance away from Wei Xiangxiu's body, tracing her seductive curves from the back to the buttocks.

  In fact, Wei Xiangxiu was a pretty and tall girl, but Lu Zhong was also unusually tall among men, so Wei Xiangxiu was only half a head shorter than him.

  In the mirror, Lu Zhong's movements seemed to be directly applying a salty pig hand to Wei Xiangxiu, but Wei Xiangxiu didn't see it and instead let out a bitter laugh: "You yourself know that I'm not worthy of you. Even if I got divorced, would you be able to marry a second-hand person? Although your uncle and aunt are your adoptive parents, can you completely disregard their opinions? They will definitely disagree. Moreover, it's also not good for your future development."

  "Besides, I can sense it, you don't have any feelings for me either, at most, you just want to think about your porn videos!"

  As she spoke, Wei Xiangxiu gave Lu Zhong a fierce stare.

  Being seen through by this little girl, Lu Zhong felt a bit embarrassed, scratched his head and said: "Older generation, aren't emotions all cultivated slowly? How many people have free love?"

  Wei Xiang gave Lu Zhong a white look and said, "You'd better not come here, and don't be embarrassed either. Men and women are just like that, I've seen through it all." After a pause, she said very seriously, "Zhongzi, if you really want me to follow you, I'll follow you. Don't mention anything about getting married or not, that's unrealistic. I don't want too many changes in my life either, that's too tiring." However, there's one thing I need to tell you, it's about that night..." Just as she was about to reveal the truth about deceiving Lu Zhong that night, she saw Lu Zhong suddenly slap his forehead and say, "Ah, let's talk about something serious first, I have something to ask you!"

  "Come on, let's go to the living room and chat. Don't just stand there like a fool," said Lu Zhong, pulling Wei Xiangxiu into the living room. He was embarrassed, but hadn't quite caught what Wei Xiangxiu had just said. Suddenly, he remembered Zhang Qingtian's case and thought that he might be able to get some information out of Wei Xiangxiu.

  Wei Xiangxiu was speechless for a moment, and it seemed that what I had just said didn't seem serious to her at all. What kind of brain does she have?

  But had no choice, could only swallow what she wanted to say and followed Lu Zhong into the living room.

  He turned off the VCR and asked, "Are you familiar with the city bureau's criminal investigation department?"

  "It's okay? What's wrong?" Wei Xiangxiu replied absent-mindedly.

  Lu Zheng polished and asked, "What is Zhang Xiangdong like?" Zhang Xiangdong was the director of the Municipal Bureau's Criminal Investigation Department. He had just been transferred at the beginning of this year, and Lu Zheng didn't know him very well.

  Wei Xiangxiu thought for a moment and said: "The person seems to be okay, I don't know the specific situation, but he has a good reputation in the bureau, what do you ask him to do?"

  Lu Zhong smiled: "Nothing, just some things I want him to take care of."

  "Wei Xiangxiu nodded and said: 'Then you have to wait, he went to the provincial capital for a meeting today, it's said that he won't be back until three or four days later.'"

  Lu Zhong hummed a sound, picked up an apple from the table and said: "Going to the provincial capital."

  "Yes." Wei Xiangxiu took the apple from Lu Zhong's hand and peeled it for him, saying: "I heard that Zhang Xiangdong is a man who works in a new way. From the beginning, he has been requiring civilized law enforcement and even set up recording devices, requiring the criminal police to record oral confessions of suspects in sensitive cases."

  "A few deputy directors and those old detectives are annoyed by this set, especially Director Ouyang. You know Ouyang Rong, don't you? He's from our Guangning."

  Lu Zhong nodded.

  Wei Xiangxiu smiled and said, "Ouyang Rong always scolds him behind his back, saying he doesn't know what he's talking about. I heard that in the past, Ouyang Rong almost beat a prisoner to death, you can imagine how he handles cases."

  Lu Zhong smiled and said, "It seems that this Zhang Xiangdong, the head of the department, can be a friend with me. The case must be broken down to achieve the target of solving cases, sometimes it is the root cause of miscarriages of justice, and torture to extract confessions is often the tool for producing miscarriages of justice."

  Wei Xiangxiu handed the peeled apple and fruit knife to Lu Zhong, smiling: "What's wrong with you? Now that you're not a public security officer anymore, you've also started criticizing coercive interrogation. In the past, you didn't use it sparingly either."

  Lu Zhong smiled, and under torture, he was forced to confess. Suddenly, it seemed as if he had thought of something, but when he carefully thought about it again, he couldn't grasp it...

  Lu Zhong suddenly fell into a daze and ignored her, Wei Xiangxiu was speechless, thinking to herself: "You're such a stubborn fool, Lu Zheng, it's pointless talking to you, everything I said today might as well have been said to thin air."

  "Hey, Lu Zhong, if you keep this up, I'm leaving!" After asking Lu Zhong a few questions, he gave vague and distracted answers that didn't match what she was asking at all. Wei Xiangxiu stood up.

  "Uh-huh." Lu Zhong responded casually and nodded his head.

  Wei Xiangxiu rolled her eyes and turned around to leave with a clatter.

  Back home, she chatted with her father and mother-in-law for a few words, seeing that her mother-in-law's Alzheimer's disease was getting more and more serious, Wei Xiangxiu couldn't help but feel heartbroken.

  In the living room, chatting with nanny Xiao Jing, I heard her mention that Lujie across the street was unfriendly. One time she forgot to throw away the trash at the door and was scolded by Lujie as if he didn't know her, his face darkening, which scared her badly.

  Wei Xiangxiu immediately felt like she had found a comrade-in-arms, and she too had a belly full of bitter water. So the two women chattered away, poking fun at Lu Zheng's spine. Both of them had deep-seated grievances against Lu Zheng, but the more they talked, the more they hit it off.

  Just as Wei Xiangxiu was getting into her stride, there was a sudden knock at the door. It was Lu Zhong's voice: "Little Wei, open the door!"

  Wei Xiangxiu and Xiao Jing both jumped in fright, their voices were quite loud, but wasn't he supposed to hear them? Especially Xiao Jing, who was so scared that her face turned white.

  No matter how afraid she was, she had to open the door and face whoever it was. Wei Xiangxiu hesitated for a long time before reluctantly opening the door.

  Lu Zhong rushed in hastily, pulling Wei Xiangxiu to one side and saying in a low voice: "You have to help me with this, you must... like this... like that..."

  Xiao Jing saw the two of them talking intimately, so she quickly entered the old man's bedroom and closed the door at the same time, to avoid being scolded by Lu Ge again.

  "Will you or won't you? You're like this, when will I get a message from you. This busy thing, you must help." Lu Zhong said very seriously.

  Wei Xiangxiu didn't understand what Lu Zhong wanted to do, but after thinking for a moment, she nodded and said, "Okay."

  Lu Zhong patted her shoulder and said, "Thanks!" He hastily opened the door and said, "I still have to go out, can you help me lock the door in a bit?"

  Wei Xiangxiu was shocked: "Don't even have time to lock the door? What's the hurry, where are you going?"

  Lu Zhong turned back with a smile: "I'm going to find Ouyang to drink at the bar." After finishing, he slammed the door shut.

  Wei Xiangxiu's nose was almost crooked with anger. In the middle of the night, she was ordered to do this and that, and had to wait for his notice. It seemed that sleep was out of the question tonight. He, on the other hand, went to a bar to have fun.
