"Chen Molei."

To

"From today on, you and I are masters and apprentices."

One day half a year ago, in the conference room of the East Gate Police Station of the Jinghu Branch of Wuhu Public Security Bureau, Anhui Province, a special ceremony was being held. This is Chen Murray's first unforgettable and special day since he became a policeman. On that day, as a new policeman, he signed a solemn agreement with Zhou Qihui, an old criminal police officer.

Being a criminal policeman was Chen Molei's childhood wish. After graduating from the China Criminal Police Academy, he became a people's policeman as he wished and went to the grass-roots police station to exercise. In his mind, the criminal police is a synonym for being tall and brave, and a pioneer in fighting against crime. At this moment, the master in front of him completely subverted his imagination - the master was not tall, and he stood with himself nearly one meter eight and was half short. Moreover, Master wears glasses, speaks in a gentle manner, and looks older than his father.

Is this master good at investigating and solving cases? Chen Molei is beating drums in his heart.

"What kind of case is this? There are so many materials?" Chen Murray followed his master to the office, and was shocked by a pile of case materials on the desk that was a foot high.

"Oh, a fraud case. The suspect refused to explain the facts of the crime. This is the material I collected during my visit. Please check it first. If you don't understand anything, please ask me at any time." Zhou Qihui said quietly.

However, next, Chen Murray followed his master to visit the victims, collect evidence, and interrogate the suspects. Only then did he truly realize his master's power.

This is a suspected fraud case. The suspect and four female victims defrauded four victims of more than 3 million yuan under the guise of "love relationship". Although only one victim reported the case, provided the relationship between the suspect and the other three murdered women, screenshots of his WeChat conversation with the suspect, transfer vouchers and other materials, and the suspect was also arrested, he did not admit that he was "fraud", but "falling in love with a woman, borrowing money from her". The case went through a difficult time.

"If a criminal suspect wants to plead guilty, evidence is the key." In the face of "hard stubble", Zhou Qihui said to himself, as if to Chen Murray. The volume is not high, but it is loud.

Looking at these materials and listening to Shifu's calm introduction, Chen Murray starts to look at Shifu with new eyes.

"Go, go visit..." Next, Chen Murray followed his master to continue to visit four victims to collect evidence materials, and went to the bank to check the transfer flow of the victims and suspects... It was a hot summer day, and the master was sweating heavily every day, and the police uniform was wet on his body, but he did not complain.

"Master, why do you spell so?" Chen Molei is puzzled.

"Don't spell which line? If this case is not taken down as soon as possible, there will be no time to handle other cases." Master still understates. However, Chen Murray found from Shifu's words and deeds that although Shifu was gentle and meticulous, she had great energy and perseverance in handling cases.

One day, the master and the apprentice tried the criminal suspect again. As expected, the "old acquaintance" still assumed the posture of a dead pig not afraid of boiling water. He squinted at Zhou Qihui as if to say, "See what you can do to me".

Zhou Qihui was not impatient, but hid a needle in his sleeve: "You are in love with four women at the same time? And all of them lend you money? What's your purpose on earth..." He said, patted a pile of case materials on the table, as if to tell the other party that we have mastered enough materials.

The suspect apparently didn't expect Zhou Qihui to get the testimonies of four victims. He stared at Zhou Qihui blankly. Zhou Qihui calmly took out a mobile phone and opened a WeChat conversation between the criminal suspect and the victim about "borrowing money but not returning it". The other person listened, his face turned red and white, and he struggled for a while. Finally, he hung his head down and sighed: "I'm convinced of you..."

Next, the interrogation was overwhelming, and the criminal suspect truthfully explained the criminal facts of his fraud.

If this case makes Chen Murray from doubt to admiration for his master, then after getting along with him, he will realize his master's preciseness and charm.

It is reasonable to say that Shifu is over fifty, so it's time to relax. But he gave full play to his experience and ability, and practiced by example. Whether dealing with big cases worth millions of yuan or small cases worth hundreds of yuan, he never prevaricates in any case he takes over. He takes Chen Murray to tirelessly investigate and collect evidence, analyze and judge, stay around the clock, and rush to recover stolen money; He is very attentive to those who collect stolen goods, and recovers stolen goods one by one by combining hardness with softness... Master has become a big figure in Chen Murray's mind.

After summer and autumn and winter, although it is only half a year, Chen Molei has gained a lot. It can be said that Zhou Qihui has become Chen Molei's most respected person with his charm.

On that day, Chen Murray was transferred to a new post. When parting with Master, he sincerely said to Zhou Qihui, "Thank you, Master. You are my beacon. I have learned a lot from you, which has laid a solid foundation for me to follow the path of police..."
