Chapter 447 A Test of Deception
Lu Yao has an extremely strong mental fortitude and will not be disturbed by his probing.
He nodded calmly.
"Okay, I'll definitely help you with this. I don't know if it will work out, but I'll ask around for you."
"Haha, what a true brother!"
Shi Shouyin smiled.
He reached out and patted Lu Yao on the shoulder:
"Actually, I just feel that Lin Dong has been with my family for so many years, and I don't want him to make the same mistakes again on the path of crime. I want him to cooperate with the government and give a proper explanation."
Lu Yao smiled: "Director Shi is truly a man of high moral character. However, if he really does carry out a terrorist attack, you'd better sever ties with him to avoid being implicated."
Shi Shouyin nodded repeatedly:
"Brother, I understand you're doing this for my own good, but since he's followed me all this time, even if he's committed a capital crime, I still have to see him off, right? Don't worry, my stance is firm. If he's guilty, I will absolutely not forgive him!"
He spoke with great conviction, appearing very righteous.
They chatted as they walked, and soon arrived in Jiangzhou City.
Shi Shouyin intended to bribe Lu Yao.
Go directly to the rural power station first.
It would be easy for him to handle this.
Director Zhang Fengnian immediately agreed to help Jiapigou get electricity.
Elsewhere, villagers have to buy their own wires and poles to get electricity, which is very expensive. But when Shi Shouyin stepped in, the director agreed to help raise money for the wires.
That way, the village can save a lot of money.
However, supplies were indeed extremely scarce at that time.
Jiapigou still needs to provide its own poles and help with manpower.
Lu Yao agreed.
This matter was made possible with Shi Shouyin's help.
As long as the utility poles are ready in Luyao, the rural power station will immediately send technicians and wires to run the power lines from Shuiling Town all the way to Jiapigou.
Even though it's winter, you can still erect poles by manually breaking through the frozen layer and filling it with stones.
Back then, the shape of the pole wasn't a big requirement; as long as it could conduct electricity, that was fine.
In the city, many electrical wires are run along the eaves of individual houses using magnetic arcs.
In the previous life, Jiapigou was only electrified in the 1980s.
In this life, Lu Yao is reborn, and everything will happen ahead of schedule.
After leaving the rural power station, Shi Shouyin drove Lu Yao directly to the entrance of the Public Security Bureau compound:
"Brother, it's all up to you. Use your relationship with Director Mei to ask around for me again. But don't tell anyone I asked you to ask."
Lu Yao nodded: "I know what to say, just you wait."
Shi Shouyin parked his car quite far away and watched as Lu Yao arrived at the entrance of the Public Security Bureau.
There are sentries standing guard at the entrance.
Lu Yao explained his purpose and waited at the door. The security guard then called the director's office.
After a while, the gatekeeper let Lu Yao in.
Shi Shouyin, watching from a distance, kept his eyes fixed on Lu Yao as he went inside.
Hou Yu looked at Shi Shouyin and asked:
"Director, do you really... trust... Lu Yao that much?"
He spoke while watching Shi Shouyin's expression.
I was also afraid he might slap me.
Shi Shouyin sighed deeply:
"Sometimes you can't get sincerity in return for sincerity! I don't completely trust him either. To be honest, I trust you old friends who have been with my family for many years more."
Hou Yu was deeply moved by these words.
They wished they could immediately go through fire and water for their master.
Shi Shouyin continued:
"I told him to go ask, and I'll see how he answers. I also want to see what tricks Mei Ping will pull. Grandpa doesn't want me to come back, but I refuse to believe it. I'm not bad enough to handle little Jiangzhou; I'm going to show my dad what I'm capable of!"
……
Mei Ping let Lu Yao in.
She thought he was going to meet Lin Dong as arranged.
She was already dressed and waiting for Lu Yao inside the house.
She was about to take Lu Yao away when he came in.
Lu Yao asked her, "Do you know who sent me?"
"Who?"
"Shi Shouyin, he's right at the door. He knows Lin Dong isn't dead; there's a traitor in your ranks!"
These words startled Mei Ping greatly.
They immediately stopped going outside.
Quickly call Wang Kun over so we can analyze it together.
Few people knew that Lin Dong was not dead.
They are all veteran police officers, and I trust them.
Lu Yao couldn't help but ask:
"Where is the doctor who treated Lin Dong's injuries? And what about the guards at the prison?"
Wang Kun shook his head: "The doctor doesn't know Lin Dong's identity. He's kept in solitary confinement at the detention center, and only one guard knows his identity; he's a reliable old man."
Mei Ping pondered: "Since the information could be leaked, there must have been a problem somewhere."
Wang Kun asked, "Then what should we do? Will Shi Shouyin use his connections to try and get people back?"
"Probably not!" Mei Ping shook her head. "This case is of great importance, and his father will definitely make him distance himself from it. What he's most worried about right now is whether Lin Dong will implicate him."
After Mei Ping finished speaking, she asked Lu Yao, who was standing next to her:
"Xiao Lu, do you have a plan?"
Lu Yao smiled: "It's simple, just turn the tables on them."
"What do you mean?"
Mei Ping and Wang Kun, two straightforward veteran police officers, both looked at Lu Yao.
Despite his young age, these two men dared not underestimate a word he said.
Lu Yao didn't keep anyone in suspense and immediately shared his opinion.
……
Half an hour later, Lu Yao walked out of the police station compound.
I got into Shi Shouyin's car.
Shi Shouyin and Hou Yu looked at Lu Yao with concern:
"How's it going, Brother Lu?"
"Director Mei didn't admit that Lin Dong was still alive. I asked her, and she asked me why I was asking her. I said that it's all over the place that Lin Dong, the suspect in the bombing, has been arrested."
Shi Shouyin praised, "Yes, that's exactly what to say, let her be fooled."
Lu Yao continued, "When I said that, she got very angry, saying that her subordinates hadn't kept the secret. She also admitted that Lin Dong wasn't dead, but was in Dabei Prison, and that Lin Dong had said that someone had ordered him to kill someone, so he bombed the hospital..."
"Who did she say ordered it?" Hou Yu asked.
Shi Shouyin slapped him across the face: "Don't interrupt my brother Lu!"
Hou Yu covered the back of his head and looked at Shi Shouyin.
I comforted myself: The director said he still trusts me more; I'm the one he's truly loyal to!
Lu Yao added, "Mei Ping didn't tell me the truth either, but from what I heard, she said there's a big operation going on these days, and if they're going to arrest people, they've even invited our militia company to help."
"..."
Shi Shouyin was a little distracted.
He immediately realized what was happening, smiled, and asked Lu Yao:
"What else did Mei Ping say?"
"That's all. If you ask again, they won't say anything more and told me not to pry. They said I'm just a nobody and that the bureau chief can't tell me everything!"
Seeing that Shi Shouyin remained silent, Lu Yao prepared to leave:
"I've asked for you, so I'm leaving now. There are a lot of things to do in the village."
"Okay, go ahead and get busy."
Shi Shouyin was preoccupied and did not try to stop Lu Yao from leaving.
Hou Yu asked Shi Shouyin again:
"Director, what if Brother Dong confesses? Do you think their talk of arresting people means arresting us?"
"..."
"Director, do you believe Lu Yao is telling the truth?"
Shi Shouyin pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said:
"Regardless of whether Xiao Lu is telling the truth or not, one thing is certain: the person Lao Wu is talking about really is Lin Dong!"
"Then what should we do? Or should we have Old Wu find a chance... to kill him and silence him?"
Shi Shouyin waved his hand:
"Old Wu can get information, but he's not capable of killing. He's just a surgeon; after the treatment, he won't be able to get close to Lin Dong anymore."
Shi Shouyin also fell into deep thought.
Lin Dong's existence is like a ticking time bomb, ready to explode at any moment.
Lu Yao's claim that Mei Ping wanted to arrest people was indeed quite frightening.
