Chapter 892 Untie the knot
Although the problem has been temporarily solved, a reasonable system is still needed to fundamentally solve the problem.

After thinking for a while, Lin Hao said to the instructor:

"Instructor, it's not a good idea for us to keep going like this!"

"Here's what I think. Let's take turns giving everyone a day off to rest. Give one person a day to rest for two days."

"Okay, Chief Lin is awesome~!"

"Long live Lin Suo~!"

Ye Wei was also a little moved when she heard this. She also had a lot of things to do at home, so she said with some anticipation:

"Why don't we ask the director!"

At this time, Wang Shouyi, who heard the noise below, also followed the sound downstairs. After listening to Lin Hao's suggestion, Wang Shouyi nodded silently in agreement, considering the tired crowd:

"Okay then, the instructor will arrange a time!"

“Ohhhhh~~~!”

"Great"

“Finally I can relax for two days!”

"awesome!"

Looking at the cheering crowd, Lin Hao said to Wang Shouyi:

"Captain, I'm afraid that just making arrangements is not enough. I suggest reporting this to the higher authorities and increasing the number of police officers~!"

However, Wang Shouyi shook his head and sighed:
"Alas, it is impossible to increase the establishment. Last time when we added four people including Li Dawei, Director Song told me that it is impossible to increase the establishment if there is no personnel change in a short period of time."

After hearing this, Lin Hao thought about it and suggested:

"Since increasing the staffing is not an option, let's ask our superiors to coordinate and find other places to second police officers to support the head office!"

"Someone come and help, at least give everyone some time to relax and rest, and not be too tense. Otherwise, something bad will definitely happen!"

"Okay, leave it to me!" Wang Shou said as he went back upstairs to contact his superior.

While Lin Hao was looking at the people who were dispersing, he suddenly thought of an important thing, that is, when Cheng Hao started to prevent the conflict, Qizi got angry and simply didn't check the old lady's house.

Later, one of the tenants in the old lady's house secretly hid detonators. When he saw the police station's inspection, he moved to the Xinjie area overnight. As a result, just after he settled down in Xinjie, the detonator exploded while he was moving.

What time is it now? The whole city is conducting a large-scale inspection of safety hazards. If any safety accident occurs in the jurisdiction and causes loss of life and property, the deputy director in charge of public security or community will be directly dismissed.

Because of this incident, the deputy director of Xinjie was directly dismissed. Although Balihe Police Station escaped the disaster, it was also responsible because the people were moved from here.

In the end, someone reported the matter to the Municipal Bureau, and even the Municipal Bureau's supervision team came down, causing quite a stir. In the end, Director Wang Shouyi took most of the responsibility.

Therefore, it would be best to find the things before the tenants of the old lady’s house move out today to avoid an explosion.

Then Lin Hao asked Cheng Hao who was about to leave: "Director Cheng, before you left, did you investigate that old lady Zhang?"

No, I pulled Qizi and the old lady apart and left with Qizi.

"Oh, I almost forgot!" Qizi said seriously after hearing this:
"I think there's something wrong with that old lady's family. I was just too anxious at the time, so I had a conflict with her!"

At this point, Qizi wanted to say that he would check it tomorrow, but thinking that he would have a day off tomorrow, he finally asked:
"How about we go check it out?"

Lin Hao nodded, and then said firmly:

"Since we felt there was a problem at the time, regardless of whether there were any safety hazards, we should go to the old lady's house and check again, just in case!"

Cheng Hao and Qizi looked at each other, and Cheng Hao said, "Okay!"

Qizi nodded and said, "Why don't you just not go to the Cheng Office? Go back and have a good rest today. I'll take a rest tomorrow anyway. I'll work overtime today. I'll feel at ease after checking. Maybe there's something wrong with the old lady!"

"It's okay, let's go check it out together!" Cheng Hao shook his head and refused.

So the three of them went to the old lady's house again.

Faced with the sharp-tongued old lady, the men did not tolerate her this time. When they checked a tenant who was packing up, the man's face immediately changed.

His eyes wandered for a moment, and he ran towards his packed luggage. Apparently, he was alarmed by today's inspection and was preparing to leave the jurisdiction of Balihe Police Station.

Of course Lin Hao would not indulge him. Since he knew what he wanted to do, he would nip the danger in the bud.

He took two steps forward and pushed the man to the ground.

Cheng Hao was surprised and said, "Chief Lin, you~!"

Lin Hao shouted loudly:

"Qizi's intuition is correct. This person's reaction is not right. Look carefully to see if there are any prohibited or illegal items, especially the suitcase just now!"

The two of them said no more and started checking immediately. Soon, Cheng Hao found the detonator in a suitcase. He was shocked that there was such a thing.

Ten minutes later, someone from the bureau came and handed the suspect and the detonator over to the criminal police team, and everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.

······
More than two months passed by unknowingly. During these two months, Lin Hao suggested that Wang Shouyi ask for support from his superiors.

Several other police stations also complained about the shortage of police officers, and Wang Shou called the Municipal Bureau every day to persuade them and suggested that other police stations provide support.

After comprehensive consideration, the Municipal Bureau actually selected eight regular police officers and 16 auxiliary police officers from more than a dozen surrounding towns and villages for support.

In fact, not only Balihe, but also several nearby urban-rural integrated police stations like Balihe have received corresponding police support.

With the support of a large number of police forces, the station's tasks were instantly greatly eased. After two months of hard work, the outbreak rate of cases also dropped rapidly.

The supporting police force was then transferred back to their original police station, and a farewell banquet was held for them.

······
While everyone was toasting each other, Wang Shouyi and Cheng Hao took turns going out to answer the phone.

I thought it was a normal call, but when they came back, they all subconsciously looked at Xia Jie.

From the expressions of Li Huicong and the others, they knew that it was most likely Xia Jie's mother calling them to talk about Xia Jie's transfer to another position.

By the way, Xia Jie's mother and Lao Liang, who was about to retire, went to Hainan for more than three months, and Xia Jie felt much more at ease.

But I didn't expect that just a few days after returning, he was already bad habits and was calling the relevant personnel every few days.

On the other side, Ye Wei's cell phone rang. He subconsciously glanced at Xia Jie and hurried to the other side to answer the call.

Xia Jie was not a fool. She felt a little uncomfortable, knowing that it must be her mother calling the instructor again.

Without waiting for Ye Wei to finish the call, Xia Jie went out to call her mother, but the line was always busy. She confirmed that it was her mother calling, and she immediately became angry and anxious.

After a while, Xia's mother called back.

Xia Jie immediately asked, "Mom, did you just call the leaders in the institute and ask them to change my position?"

Mother Xia said as a matter of course: "Yes!"

Xia Jie finally exploded and said harshly:

"Mom, didn't I tell you not to call the police station again? Are you trying to force me to break off relations with you?"

After saying that, she hung up the phone abruptly and returned to the party, having made up her mind that she would not go home today.

Cheng Hao happened to see all this and fell into deep thought for a moment, wondering whether he should give an explanation to his master's wife.

Xia Jie's mother's behavior was obviously beyond Xia Jie's expectations, and she seemed a little crazy.

Then she subconsciously looked at Lin Hao, and Lin Hao gave her a reassuring look.

So when Cheng Hao returned home, Lin Hao talked to him alone for more than an hour. ······
For the next two days, Cheng Hao couldn't sleep well and was absent-minded the whole day. Every late night, he would recall the scene of that year~!

After Xia Jie's father's funeral, young Cheng Hao was kicked out of the house by Xia's mother, carrying boxes of gifts.

Mother Xia stood at the door and said with tears in her eyes:

"How dare you come here? Old Xia was killed by you! Why are you pretending to be here now!" After saying that, he slammed the door shut.

Cheng Hao had a look of grief and helplessness on his face, and finally left in a daze.

The past was too painful to recall. Thinking of what Lin Hao had advised him two days ago, he murmured to himself:
"It's time to put an end to this!"

As he spoke, Cheng Hao's expression gradually became resolute, and he drove directly to the downstairs of Xia Jie's house.

The doorbell rang, and Xia's mother opened the door and found Cheng Hao standing outside, holding a carton of milk and a fruit basket.

Then he was surprised and asked:

"Why is it you? Are you here to talk about Xiaojie's job change, or to do my job?"

Cheng Hao said solemnly: "Neither, I came to tell you about my relationship with my master."

"Then you don't need it, you can leave." Mother Xia said and prepared to close the door.

This time, Cheng Hao did not back down and walked straight into the house.

Mother Xia was anxious and shouted, "What are you doing? Are you trying to force your way in?"

Cheng Hao put the things in his hand on the dining table, turned around and said to Xia Jie's mother:

"Master's wife, I have come to confess to you and to repent to you."

"When I faced the gangsters, I was really scared. My feet felt like they were glued to the ground and I couldn't move at all."

"Although the bureau has concluded in the end, I am not responsible for Master's sacrifice."

"But I know I did! The Master's wife's suspicion was correct. I really gave in at the moment when I should have rushed forward, and I didn't have the courage to admit it afterwards."

After speaking out the knot in his heart, Cheng Hao lowered his head in shame.

Mother Xia turned pale, and then cried:

"What's the point of you saying this now? Can confession bring back Lao Xia's life? Can it make up for the pain my mother and I have suffered over the years?"

Cheng Hao said in a heavy tone:

"Master's wife, I know I am guilty. I know it in my heart. I am sorry to Master, sorry to you, and sorry to Xiaojie."

"I blamed myself over and over in my heart, but I never had the courage to admit to anyone that I am a coward~, I~!"

At this point, Cheng Hao saw the fruit knife on the table, picked it up, and shouted angrily:

"Master's wife, no, I will pay for Master's life today!"

After saying that, he took the fruit knife and was about to stab himself in the chest!

"Ah!" Mother Xia was horrified and rushed forward to grab the knife. Tears could not stop flowing down her face as she shouted:
"Cheng Hao, do you want to force me to death too?"

Tears also flowed from the corners of Cheng Hao's eyes: "Master's wife, I just want to atone for my cowardice at that time~!"

Mother Xia threw the knife in her hand far away, and when facing Cheng Hao's confession, she seemed to become much more haggard.

Then he slumped down on the sofa, waved his hands feebly and said:

"Don't say any more. Actually, I understand everything, but there is a knot in my heart that I can't untie. Now I just hope that Xiaojie can live a peaceful life every day, and I will be satisfied!"

"Don't mention the past anymore. If you really want to do something for your master, take good care of Xiao Jie for him so that he can rest in peace!"

Upon hearing this, Cheng Hao immediately assured, "Master's wife, rest assured. I will definitely take good care of Xiao Jie for you!"

Mother Xia said: "Okay, that's it!"

Cheng Hao was moved and said, "Thank you, Master's wife, for your magnanimity. I don't know how many ideological struggles I have gone through before coming here today. Now that I have finally spoken out, I feel relieved."

"I'm leaving now. Take care, Master's wife."

After saying that, Cheng Hao walked out, thinking of what Lin Hao had told him, that Xia Jie's mother had found true love.

It was Lao Liang, his master's former best partner, who was pursuing his master's wife and wanted to take care of her, and both of them were interested in each other.

So when he reached the door, he suddenly stopped and said earnestly:

"Master's wife, you should also try to put an end to the past and embrace a new life. You can live a better life!"

"Really? Can this be put to an end?" Mother Xia stood there in a daze, with a myriad of thoughts in her mind.

······
Two months passed and several cases were handled during this period, including a burglary.

In this case, I thought checking the surveillance would waste a lot of time, but I didn't expect that Zhao Jiwei would make such a great contribution this time.

A clue was found in the surveillance camera of a roadside supermarket, and Lin Hao gave Zhao Jiwei a chance, handing the case over to him to lead the solution.

And Zhao Jiwei did not let Lin Hao down and found the suspect's whereabouts step by step.

Lin Hao took a look, then said with a smile: "This is Liuxing Town. It seems we have to go to Liuxing Town!"

Without further ado, several people immediately took action. In order to cope with the subsequent search and arrest work, Lin Hao also transferred Cao Jianjun and Zhang Zhijie, together with four auxiliary police officers to join the arrest work.

On the way to Liuxing Town, Zhang Zhijie, as an experienced and knowledgeable man, began to give everyone information about Liuxing Town.

"Liuxing Town relies on the city for its livelihood. The hardworking and capable people in the town go to the city to work and have become rich in recent years."

"Those idlers who don't do decent work often come into the city to steal. This guy must be one of them."

"However, the brothers at Liuxing Police Station are also very capable. With their help, I'm sure this guy won't be able to escape."

Arriving at Liuxing Town Police Station, Deputy Police Chief Li came out to shake hands with Lin Hao and Cao Jianjun, and said jokingly with a smile:
"Captain Lin, Lao Cao, Lao Zhang, have our people caused you trouble again?"

Lin Hao smiled and said, "No, it's your people who are giving us a chance to make merit."

Deputy Director Li laughed and said, "Let's discuss this first. If we catch him, whose name will he be?"

Zhang Zhijie smiled and said, "He committed the crime at our place, and we were the first to discover him, so of course it's us."

Deputy Director Li smiled and said:

"Lao Zhang, we also have a mission to prevent burglary for 100 days. We will help you find him, but there is a catch. If you catch him and keep him, it will be ours."

Lin Hao smiled and said, "Old Li, it's not good for you to take advantage of others' misfortune like this!"

Deputy Director Li smiled and said, "Then what do you think we should do? We can't help you arrest people without any benefit."

"How about this!" Lin Hao said with a smile:

"This suspect has committed crimes in many places. His crimes are not small. We will take him away, but this case will be regarded as the result of our joint investigation!"

"Of course, we are the main ones, but your contribution is definitely indispensable."

Deputy Director Li hesitated for a moment, then said readily, "Okay, it's settled!"

Next, Deputy Director Li brought a few people to the monitoring room and began to check the surveillance cameras in various locations in Liuxing Town.
