Could someone be causing trouble at the criminal investigation squad?

Luo Fei was taken aback, utterly surprised.

Meanwhile, Zhao Donglai seemed to have thought of something, his expression shifted sharply, and he dashed out the door!

Seeing this, Luo Fei quickly followed suit.

At that moment, in the outer hall, everyone had scattered, vigilantly watching a man in the center holding a fruit knife, both sides in a standoff.

Liao Xingyu was directly facing the man, his entire body tense, continuously persuading him to drop the weapon in his hand.

The man appeared to be in his fifties or sixties, but his hair was alarmingly gray, and he was very thin.

Although he held a knife in his hand, his appearance didn't look like

At present, he seemed highly agitated, ignoring Liao Xingyu's attempts to pacify him, waving the knife continuously, demanding to see a leader.

Zhao Donglai came out, witnessing this scene, and shouted sternly, "Guo Tianlai, what are you doing? Put down that knife immediately!"

Seeing Zhao Donglai, Guo Tianlai suddenly dropped to his knees, "Leader, my son is really innocent, I beg you, please help him!"

Given that Guo Tianlai held a knife, Zhao Donglai didn't dare to approach and only said irritably, "What are you doing, get up quickly!"

"And how many times have I told you, your son's armed robbery case has irrefutable evidence, the facts are clear, no one has wronged him, why won't you listen?"

"Because you all made a mistake, my son didn't kill, didn't rob, leader, I beg you to investigate again, you must be able to…"

"Enough, Guo Tianlai, do you think the police squad is your home? You want an investigation just because you say so? These things follow procedures, your son's case is closed, and the files have been transferred to the prosecutor's office, it's impossible to re-investigate."

"Leader…"

"In any case, I've made myself clear, throw that knife away quickly, if you keep making trouble I'll charge you with disrupting public service!"

Seeing that his words still weren't getting through, Zhao Donglai grew impatient.

Hearing this, the hope in Guo Tianlai's eyes gradually dimmed, he stared at the knife in his hand and suddenly laughed sarcastically.

"I understand, you all just can't find the real killer, so you want my son to take the fall…what kind of police are you!"

Zhao Donglai was about to lose his temper when he suddenly saw Guo Tianlai furiously stab the fruit knife toward his own chest!

Oh no! This guy intends to commit suicide at the police station!

Everyone was shocked, especially Zhao Donglai, whose heart leaped to his throat.

If anything happened to him, his position as squad leader might be finished.

Fortunately, Liao Xingyu, who had been slowly approaching Guo Tianlai, swiftly rushed forward at the crucial moment and gripped the knife-wielding wrist.

Then Zhao Donglai and Zhou Fan also rushed up, and the three of them together managed to wrestle the fruit knife away.

"Let me go, you police don't care if an ordinary person lives or dies, just let me die then!"

Despite failing to end his life, Guo Tianlai was still on the ground, shouting in extreme anguish and rage.

Zhao Donglai tossed the fruit knife far away and said angrily, "Guo Tianlai, if you want to die, no one can stop you, but if you think this will threaten the police, you're gravely mistaken!"

Noticing the bloodstains on Liao Xingyu's hand, Zhao Donglai immediately expressed concern, "Are you hurt, is it serious, let's get you to a hospital quickly!"

Liao Xingyu had grabbed the knife blade with the other hand in the heat of the moment, resulting in a cut on his palm.

"No need, Captain Zhao, it's nothing serious. I can go by myself. You should handle this matter first."

"Then Zhou Fan, take Liao Xingyu to the hospital."

"Yes, Captain Zhao."

Zhou Fan and Liao Xingyu quickly left.

Glancing at Guo Tianlai, Zhao Donglai said irritably, "Keep an eye on him, then call his family and ask them to come and pick him up."

Having said that, he turned towards his office.

As he passed by Luo Fei, he perked up and said, "Luo Fei, you're still here? There's nothing for you to do now, go get some rest."

Luo Fei couldn't think of resting at that moment, he quickly followed his pace.

"Captain Zhao, what just happened?"

Zhao Donglai sighed, "That man is Guo Tianlai, his son, Guo Jing, was the main perpetrator in last year's February 11th major robbery case."

"The same case that led to Lu Jianfei's promotion?"

"Exactly."

"Wasn't that case solved? Why does he claim his son was wronged?"

Luo Fei was at a loss.

Seeing Guo Tianlai act like he had been enormously wronged, he thought some tricky new case had emerged in the squad, but it turned out the case was already closed.

Though he had seen many family members causing a ruckus to clear the defendants, this person was too extreme, even attempting suicide at the police station.

"He's just trying to clear his son of guilt; a few days ago, the verdict for Guo Jing's first trial was handed down, death penalty."

"So he panicked and came to our squad, causing trouble every day… Isn't that unreasonable? His son's case isn't under my charge, besides, the evidence is clear, but he insists his son is innocent…"

"Causing scenes every other day, if not for his age, I'd genuinely consider letting him spend some time in detention…"

From Zhao Donglai's complaints, Luo Fei finally grasped the situation.

Guo Tianlai's son, Guo Jing, was the culprit in last year's series of robberies and the murderer of a power bureau worker.

After Lu Jianfei's team thoroughly investigated the case, it was transferred to the prosecutor's office, which quickly filed charges.

Given the heinous nature of the crime, Guo Jing was sentenced to death in the first trial; Guo Jing perhaps realized his guilt and chose not to appeal, accepting the verdict.

Guo Tianlai's family was not well off, his wife had died early, leaving only Guo Jing, his sole child, making him unwilling to lose his only son, so he came to the criminal investigation squad every day crying injustice, claiming his son was wronged and pleading for a re-investigation.

At first, Zhao Donglai sympathized with his situation and tried to comfort him, but the other party was relentless, causing trouble repeatedly, until Zhao Donglai had enough.

According to the verdict, Guo Jing was set to be executed on the 25th of this month.

And today was already June 5th.

Perhaps Guo Tianlai got desperate and decided to take a risk by coming to the police station to threaten suicide.

Therefore, Zhao Donglai concluded, "You don't have to worry about this matter anymore, after all, Guo Jing will be executed soon, once he's dead, his father will have nothing more to raise a fuss about and will settle down."

Luo Fei thought that made sense, so he didn't dwell on it further.

After departing, he went and chatted with Zhang Wei and the others for a while before leaving the squad.

After returning to his dormitory, the first thing he did was find his phone and switch it on.

Initially, since he thought he was going undercover, he told Yang Mei and Wu Yan that he would be undergoing closed training and would be hard to contact.

He then turned off the phone and left it in the dorm, which was why Yang Mei couldn't reach him and went to bother Zhao Donglai.

Once it was on, a continuous stream of messages appeared.

He briefly glanced through them, seeing that Yang Mei, Luo Xiaoxiao, Luo Hao, and Wang Yong had all sent several messages to him.

However, the most messages came from Yang Mei, followed by the Luo siblings.

Remembering Zhao Donglai's words, he quickly called Yang Mei.

Seeing a call from Luo Fei, Yang Mei initially thought she was hallucinating.

"Luo Fei, where have you been all this time!"

On the other end, she was half-complaining and half-pouting.

"I'm sorry, Yang Mei, didn't I tell you before, I was going into closed training, so…"

"Stop lying, don't think I don't know, even in closed training, at most you can't video call, you can't disclose any information, but how could it be that you can't even make a call. Tell me honestly, did my uncle send you on some dangerous mission?"

I had to admit, Yang Mei was perceptive, she'd guessed correctly more than half of it.

Luo Fei naturally wouldn't admit, "No, you're really overthinking… Anyway, today's Wednesday, I'll be able to come see you in two more days, then you can choose whatever you want to do, and I'll accompany you."

With his distraction, Yang Mei's attention was indeed diverted, and she excitedly said, "Then I need to think about it…"
