Chapter 97 Meeting Uncle

At night, a black Volkswagen drove slowly across the asphalt road in the suburbs and stopped in front of a small village.

Mu Zixing closed the car door, glanced at the pitch-black wilderness, then turned back to look at Lei Shao who got off the driver's seat.

"Sir, it's not here yet, is it?"

Lei Shao came over with a scarf in his hand and wrapped it around Mu Zixing's neck, then took his hand and said, "Cars are not allowed in the village, we can only walk there."

Mu Zixing felt that this rule was unreasonable, but he was also very willing to walk hand in hand with Lei Shao on the country road.

It's just that it's very dark outside, there's not even a street light, and it's a cloudy day tonight. When you look up, you can feel that there will be little snowflakes falling from the sky.

Mu Zixing took out his mobile phone from his pocket, turned on the flashlight function, and finally dispelled a piece of the dense black night where he couldn't see his fingers.

"Is it cold?" Lei Shao pinched his cold fingertips.

Mu Zixing shook his head and said, "It's not cold."

Lei Shao still kicked his hands together with his own into the big pocket of the windbreaker.

"No. 281 is the innermost one, and it takes about 15 minutes to walk."

"Oh," Mu Zixing nodded, and looked curiously at the small farmyards scattered on both sides of the road.

Lei Shao said that this is where his mother grew up, and Feng Guozheng, Director of the Public Security Bureau, Lei Shao's uncle, invited them to meet here tonight.

As we walked deeper, the houses gradually became denser, and from time to time, the sound of dogs barking came from the yards of each house.

Mu Zixing was a little nervous. Although he felt that he shouldn't ask, he endured all the way, and seeing that it was almost here, he still couldn't hold back, "Sir, do we just go in empty-handed like this?"

Lei Shao said, "For the time being, it is safer to keep the evidence in our hands. I will hand it over to them after we talk tonight."

Mu Zixing, "...that's not what I meant."

"Huh?" Lei Shao turned his head to look at him, Mu Zixing stared at the road under his feet and his ears were burning. He didn't know much about the world, but at least he understood the truth.

When you meet your parents for the first time, you have to get a gift, right?

But they were empty-handed and didn't bring anything.

Mu Zixing was very conflicted, he wanted to ask Lei Shao if he forgot, and he was afraid that the other party might not want people to see their relationship, wouldn't it be embarrassing to ask.

Just as he didn't know how to speak, a deep chuckle came from beside him.

Lei Shao squeezed his hand and said, "I won't tease you anymore, I know what you're thinking, this time I didn't bring a gift because..."

He paused and said, "...I don't know if Bureau Feng is willing to admit me. This time I'm here just to talk about business. If he admits me, I'll take you on a formal visit in the future."

It turned out to be the case.

Mu Zixing heaved a sigh of relief, and then realized that Lei Shao had guessed what he was thinking, and couldn't help but blush.

Fortunately, it was dark under the lights, so no one could see it.

Talking all the way, the two soon arrived at the door of a small courtyard.

Lei Shao approached and lightly knocked the iron ring on the door.

Not long after, the iron gate opened from the inside, and a tall man came out and glanced at Lei Shao first, then glanced at Mu Zixing calmly, and then moved out of the way, "Come in, Director Feng has already waiting."

Lei Shao hummed, and led Mu Zixing into the courtyard.

After closing the door, the person behind him followed suit.

They arrived at the main room very quickly, and Lei Shao, who entered first, paused, and met the eyes of the middle-aged man who looked up from the sofa.

Mu Zixing stood behind Lei Shao and couldn't see the expression on Lei Shao's face clearly, but he saw the middle-aged man's facial muscles twitch slightly, and his expression was obviously moved.

"Let me introduce you. This is Bureau Feng, the current director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau." The man who opened the door broke the silence in the room and walked forward, "My name is Xia Yin, and I am currently the captain of the second criminal investigation team."

After speaking, he stretched out his hand to Mu Zixing. Mu Zixing recognized him and had known him before, but he shook his hand and introduced himself, "Mu Zixing, nice to meet you."

At the same time, Lei Shao also took two steps forward, stood beside the middle-aged man, stretched out his hand respectfully and said solemnly, "Hi, I'm Lei Shao."

The middle-aged man didn't speak, his eyes were fixed on Lei Shao, he didn't know who was looking through him, he stood up after a while, patted his shoulder and said, "Okay, very good."

Mu Zixing looked at Feng Guozheng, and the emotions in his eyes were too complicated, including regret, sadness, excitement and relief.

But after all, he was the chief, and he quickly adjusted himself, and then invited everyone to sit down on the fabric sofa in the living room.

Sitting next to Lei Shao, Mu Zixing quietly looked at Feng Guozheng.

The other party has the same name as him, with a straight and ordinary Chinese character face, and a slightly fatter figure. Although his hair is dyed black, it can be seen from the hairline that has been protruding all the way back that he has taken a lot of care over the years.

He doesn't have a serious and upright manner, if he is walking on the road, he is a middle-aged man who is the most ordinary holding a thermos.

But Mu Zixing knew that the number of major cases solved by the other party was probably too numerous to count.

Mu Zixing's position is farthest from Feng Guozheng.

People like him don't like to deal with the police, let alone the head of the police, and the other party is the buff bonus of Uncle Lei Shao, Mu Zixing feels a little scared for no reason.

There were no unnecessary pleasantries, and everyone quickly got to the point.

"According to the clues you gave, I have found out all the powerful and powerful people who are in collusion with Rongxing's top management. The evidence is also sufficient, and I can arrest them at any time."

Xia Yin tapped the table with his knuckles, pondered for a moment and continued, "But there are a few people whose identities are very sensitive, so I'm afraid it's not easy to take action."

Lei Shao looked down at the photos of those people, and they were indeed difficult characters.

"Isn't Bureau Feng going to be able to handle it?" He asked bluntly.

As the conversation deepened, Feng Guozheng's face became very heavy. After a while, he frowned and uttered a word, "Difficult."

Once the things in their hands are made public, it will be a shocking case that has never been seen in City C in recent years.

I don't know how many people's interests will be involved in it, and if I take one wrong step, I don't know how many people will fall through the net.

Lei Shao understands the stakes. In fact, as long as the things in his hands are released, Rong Xing will definitely die, and no one dares to protect it—this is what he wants.

But Xia Yin and Feng Guozheng still want to use this case to find out their own black sheep, Lei Shao is willing to wait a little longer.

"We still need a little time, rest assured child, I will not let your hard work these years go to waste."

After more than three hours of secret conversation, Feng Guozheng said this to Lei Shao when everyone was about to part.

Lei Shao nodded and said, "Waiting for your good news."

Then he glanced at the yard behind him, hesitated for a moment and said, "Ju Feng, I have a merciless request."

Feng Guozheng stopped in his tracks.

"Can we stay here for one night?" Lei Shao looked at Feng Guozheng, his voice was calm, but he held Mu Zixing's hand a little tighter, "My mother, she...has always wanted to come back here .”
