538: Weird situation

He put down the weekly, took out his phone, but just as he picked it up, he saw the news pushed by four or five news apps.

"Huff..." He took a deep breath, suppressing the anger in his heart. The purpose of him taking out his phone was naturally not to look at these infuriating news, but to contact Jin Tianqin to discuss the Su Yue case. However, the call was hung up as soon as it was made. After a moment, Jin Tianqin replied with a text message: "Busy, will reply shortly."

"Alas!" He sighed heavily, but at the same time, the phone rang again. This call made him want to reach out and touch the phone line, but in the end, he gritted his teeth and answered the call.

"Hello? This is Zhang Shengtong," he said. "Director Zhang?" His expression changed, the anger on his face disappearing in an instant.

"What instructions does Director Zhang have?" he asked. "Okay... okay. We will definitely do our best to eliminate the hidden danger... Yes, understood..."

After repeatedly nodding, he finally hung up the phone, his face terrifyingly gloomy.

If this matter hadn't been exposed, then no one would have deeply investigated how Su Yue escaped from Shanghai Station.

But there is no if in this world. Such a serious loophole problem must be completely eradicated.

However, temporary identity certificates have been in use for a long time. Now that they say they want to change, where should they start?

Zhang Shengtong only felt that his head seemed to have swelled even bigger.

...

After the Zhonghai Restaurant and K331 incident were exposed, a new meme appeared on the internet: "What exactly did Su Yue say?"

This meme widely circulated on the internet.

All the events on the K331 train have been reconstructed, but the most important question, "Why did Zhao Ping commit suicide?" has never been answered.

People racked their brains thinking of many scenarios and even cited many examples for speculation, but in the end, it was just speculation.

They knew that when the Municipal Bureau Officer arrived, Zhao Ping had already committed suicide and stopped breathing, which means that only Su Yue himself knew what Su Yue said.

This curiosity drove them to urgently want to know the answer, but it was unobtainable. That feeling of scratching at their hearts was indescribable.

But they knew that there would eventually be a day when they would know, it just depended on when Su Yue himself would appear.

...

Although Shanghai itself has no famous historical sites or picturesque landscapes, when Su Yue's story began to spread, it briefly became a tourist city.

The room prices at Zhonghai Restaurant soared, especially the two rooms Su Yue had booked. At this time, Zhonghai Restaurant even had the idea of charging admission fees for visits.

Even in the elevator, there was a photo of Su Yue's back holding a paper bag blocking the button panel. Many people took photos there, imitating Su Yue's pose, as a souvenir.

The impact caused by Su Yue grew larger and larger, and the highest demand was to film Su Yue's deeds along the way into a movie.

Many Director and actor Weibo comments were like this: "Director Wang! Just film a movie based on what Su Yue did! Isn't Chinese New Year coming soon?"

"Director Zhang, there are only a few months left, hurry up and film it! It's fine to release it during the New Year's slot."

"For actors, be sure to find acting powerhouses! Never let those trashy traffic stars act! Su Yue's temperament is something ordinary people can't portray!"

Just at this time, as if in response to the public's call, three Directors simultaneously released trailers for new films: three movies would be released simultaneously on the first day of the Lunar New Year.

Although the movie titles and cast lists had not yet been released, based on the accompanying pictures on their Weibo, people could already guess what they were about.

The three accompanying pictures were a desk, a train, and an airplane. For a time, cheers erupted on the internet!

As time went on, the influence of this incident became increasingly significant. Zhonghai No.1 High School and Zhonghai Restaurant had already become legendary sacred places. Even the orphanage where Su Yue once stayed was bustling with visitors, who came in an endless stream.

Many of Su Yue's fans eagerly wanted to follow in his footsteps, and all of this naturally had to start with his time in the orphanage. Although the news never mentioned which specific orphanage Su Yue spent time in, this did not hinder the enthusiasm of the fans. Zhonghai City is not large, and there are only two orphan welfare homes. After confirming that one of them was not the target, the other became the place they flocked to.

"Su Yue's Former Residence" - To increase income, the aunties at the orphanage even turned a room into what was supposedly Su Yue's former bedroom. Although everyone knew that in a public orphanage, how could a child have a room to themselves? But this room did indeed contain many photos of Su Yue as a child, which also satisfied the fans' psychological needs. Especially when they saw that the children's meals were not very good, many people generously donated...

Thus, this somewhat bizarre "Su Yue's Former Residence" was preserved. The aunties were happy about this, as it solved many problems. Although nine out of ten parts of the income were taken by the aunties and the Dean, the children's meals did indeed improve significantly.

This change made the young orphans feel that Su Yue was the hero who made their meals better. And in fact, Su Yue can indeed be considered a hero. Everyone who knows his story would think so.

Although he is indeed a fugitive, along the way, he has never done anything harmful. This is a well-known fact. On the contrary, he also helped the Fengtian Municipal Bureau expose the whereabouts of the Thief King Zhao Ping. Even if Zhao Ping escaped, he was eventually brought under control by Su Yue, and the criminal who carried four lives on her hands committed suicide in a unique way.

If Zhao Ping had been allowed to escape and enter society, how much harm would she have caused to society? Moreover, Zhao Ping was already a fugitive. If she were to hide again, it would inevitably lead to more homicides.

Gradually, people began to expect Su Yue to appear publicly.

Voices also began to appear on the internet: "It's just cheating on the college entrance exam, he's done so many good deeds, can't he be forgiven?" "Forgive Su Yue! Let the merits offset the demerits!" "Let Su Yue return to normal life, he can make more contributions, why not do it?"

The voices of the people grew louder and louder, escalating like a snowball.

However, at the same time, many people held the opposite view.

"Stop messing around, even if merits offset demerits, you have to catch him first." "Does that mean he shouldn't be arrested? What's the point of the law?" "He did do a lot of good deeds, but his crime of escape cannot be washed away. Go wash up and sleep, unless it goes to court appeal, otherwise people who talk about offsetting merits and demerits are simply idiots. Do they think it's still the ancient times where the emperor's word was law?"

Two factions formed on the internet and began a protracted debate.

However, in this situation, neither the Municipal Bureau nor Su Yue himself made any response.

Some lawyers even voluntarily publicized their information on Weibo, stating that they were willing to represent Su Yue in this lawsuit for free...

But even though the two sides were arguing fiercely, everyone did not question one fact: Su Yue is indeed a hero.

The incidents that have been exposed now, including those on the train and the plane, are many that he has done.

But after this? Has Su Yue done anything else?

People now expect Su Yue to appear in the public eye to satisfy all their curiosity.

Especially Su Yue's fans, they firmly believe that Su Yue's story will eventually be fully revealed to the public! It will shock the whole world!

Amidst the discussions, Chu Qing had already gone to Taoyang.

She was fascinated by this process, wanting to dig out everything about Su Yue, wanting to understand him more deeply... She even compiled Su Yue's known network of relationships. Wang Linlin was prominently on her list of interview targets.

...

Su Yue certainly wouldn't show his face, and naturally, he wouldn't be caught.

Whether to return to a normal life or not holds little meaning for him. Life like this is quite interesting right now.

He watched the debates on the internet and even participated from time to time. That kind of happiness is unimaginable to ordinary people.

Moreover, being mixed in with the Municipal Bureau and discussing topics related to himself with Gao Xiang on weekdays is also a kind of pleasure.

However, such days are coming to an end. Su Yue's plan has finished and is about to enter the final stage.

He has thoroughly understood Lin Liqun's targeting plan and has calculated everything for the counter-plan of using the opponent's scheme against them.

The time is now November 13th. He and Gao Xiang are walking on the way to the Municipal Bureau.

Gao Xiang seems to have finished the work he needed to do and has been working normal hours for two days.

Although some people in the office haven't returned yet, it has become lively again.

Zhong Qi has built good relationships with many people in the Municipal Bureau, including Lao Zhang, the doorman, who will smile and nod when he sees Zhong Qi. After all, it was Zhong Qi who helped him solve the problem of his electric bike's alarm often going off for no reason, free of charge.

Xiao Team from the archives department has also gradually been impressed by Zhong Qi's extensive knowledge during their interactions over the past few days.

Entering the office, Su Yue was somewhat surprised to find that everyone except Jin Tianqin and Xiao Xiao, who was still lying in the hospital, had returned to their posts. Including A Qi.

"You're here?"

"Oh, right, Gao Xiang," A Qi said, looking at Gao Xiang. "Professor Li received a call this morning and had to go back for a bit. We are now in the stage of casting a net, just waiting for Su Yue to take the bait. He'll be back after he's finished his business, he asked me to tell you."

Gao Xiang nodded upon hearing this, indicating that he understood.

Cui Jia was sitting in Zhong Qi's seat and said, "Alright, Zhong Qi, I guess we're about to catch Su Yue. How about coming back to Qingzhou with us then?"

Zhong Qi smiled and nodded, saying, "If we catch him, I'll definitely go back to Qingzhou with you."

Yes, if he is caught, he would naturally be sent back to the Special Task Force in Qingzhou.

But... there aren't that many 'ifs' in this world.

The atmosphere in the office seemed much more relaxed, completely different from the previous tense atmosphere. Lin Liqun's plan seemed to have given everyone a lot of confidence.

When Cui Jia heard Zhong Qi say, "If Su Yue is caught, I'll go back to Qingzhou with you," a smile appeared on his face, as if a heavy weight had been lifted from his heart. He patted Su Yue's shoulder, seemingly wanting to say something emotional, but in the end, he just awkwardly changed the subject: "Have you had any new insights from reading the autopsy reports these past two days?"

Zhong Qi nodded: "I've indeed seen quite a few difficult cases, but I think the handling of some cases is open to discussion. Fortunately, the subsequent cases were all successfully solved. However, most of the reports are repetitive and lack innovation."

Cui Jia also agreed: "This is our job, not a TV drama. Where are there so many difficult cases? Even Zhao Ping, who committed suicide at the time..." He paused here, then asked, "That Su Yue thing has been very popular recently, have you seen it?"

Su Yue hummed and said, "Of course I have."

Cui Jia continued: "Zhao Ping's suicide is related to Su Yue. We wanted to find clues from Zhao Ping, but there wasn't even a fingerprint. Do you think this case is complicated? It's definitely complicated. But do you think our forensic doctors can find anything from Zhao Ping's body? Besides suicide, nothing can be found. What forensic doctors can do more is collect evidence, not directly solve cases."

He said with some regret: "However, being able to find clues from the body and provide key evidence is already what we should do. Finding evidence from the departed body of the deceased and punishing those who harmed the body, that is our duty."

Cui Jia was full of passion for his work, and Su Yue also put on a thoughtful expression and nodded.

They chatted for a few more sentences, and then Cui Jia suddenly suggested: "Do you have time tonight, Zhong Qi? Let's have dinner together? You, me, and Gao Xiang, let's get together."

Su Yue smiled: "Of course I have time."

"Then it's settled," Cui Jia said. "After getting off work tonight, we'll pick a Cantonese restaurant and really taste the difference between northern and southern flavors."

After speaking, he returned to his seat.

On the other side, Xiao Ting asked A Qi across the desk: "Kang Team, where did Brother Ye go? I haven't seen him for a while?"

A Qi said while looking at the Observation Weekly: "He went to handle a case with Xiang Shanmo. It is said they dug up a big one, and the problem is a bit serious. Everyone from the criminal investigation side has been transferred over. It seems to be a drug dealer, and the scale is quite large."

Xiao Ting nodded, then asked again: "Then when will he be back?"

Yan Qing glanced at Xiao Ting: "He'll be back after he finishes the case."

After she finished speaking, she looked at Zhong Qi and asked: "Oh, right, Zhong Qi, speaking of drug dealers, the body you dissected at the hospital that day should also be related to drugs, right? Has that person's identity been confirmed?"

Su Yue nodded: "The cause of death was electrocution, reportedly due to a leak at home. But the autopsy found that he should have been a long-term drug user; his internal organs were somewhat atrophied, and his lungs had changed significantly. As for his identity... I don't know. I haven't been in contact with the hospital since then."

Cui Jia took over the conversation: "It is said to be from some kind of wire company, doing fiber optic cable business. Lao Wang told me the identity later. Reportedly, his family didn't know he was doing drugs. But since the incident has already happened, they don't seem to plan on pursuing anything further. After all, it was an accidental death, and they can only sue the insurance company if they want to sue."
