Chapter 1027: A civil servant
Translator: 549690339
Let’s go back in time and review what happened before Zen dream contacted Feng bujue …
When brother Chan called ghost Hunter’s house, it was about 11:20, and ghost Hunter’s mother was at home. After communicating with each other, they found out that ghost hunter had left the company at seven in the morning, but he had not returned home yet, nor had he called home.
If this were any other day, they might not have thought too much about it.
After all, ghost hunter was a seventeen-year-old man, and he was a boy. Generally speaking, he wouldn’t think about kidnapping. Even his family members guessed that … This kid might have lost his phone and went to report the case.
However, today was no ordinary day … It was the day of a crucial match.
!!
Zen dream … Was able to sense that something was amiss.
Everyone could tell from brother Zen’s habit of drinking hot water and his catchphrase,”don’t look at me now. I was like that in the past” that he was a young man with social experience …
To be on the safe side, he specially went to find the higher-ups of regulation and reported this matter …
He was a star player, after all, so his words had some weight. Besides … His suspicions were indeed reasonable.
The leaders of order quickly realized the seriousness of the situation, and this uneasy atmosphere gradually fermented with time …
At twoo’ clock in the afternoon, ghost hunter was still uncontactable. At this time, his family members naturally also realized that the situation was strange, and they suddenly became more anxious than anyone else.
Hence, they reported the case.
Brother Chan was not only ghost Hunter’s colleague, but also one of the last few people who had contact with him. They had a good personal relationship.
Therefore, Zen dream came to the Public Security Bureau to help with the investigation.
Unfortunately, things didn’t go as smoothly as he had expected …
It didn’t mean that if you reported a case to the Public Security Bureau, an entire team of police officers would immediately rush to your case to collect evidence and investigate, and solve the case within a few hours.
Only robbery and murder cases that involved serious violence would receive such treatment.
However, it was a different story for the usual financial abuse cases (especially those with a small amount of money) and the case of disappearance (not children, men, and missing for less than a day).
Do you know how many small-scale financial invasion cases happen every year … No, every day? Some victims didn’t even report the case, because they knew that even if they did, they wouldn’t be able to get their things back.
As for the number of people who go missing every year … Let’s put it this way … The number of people who go missing in our country every year is probably as many as the number of lost mobile phones.
In short … For this kind of case, when reporting a case, they basically just had to make a record and then … Wait.
How long did he have to wait? he couldn’t be sure …
Of course, the investigation work would still be carried out normally, but there were not many people, and the efficiency was not high. What? You want them to set up a special task force for you, sending two teams to watch videos, do field work, and analyze the case for you? Sure … It’s fine as long as you know the director. If you really can’t do it, the director will do too …
As mentioned before, MA junzhu’s parents were both working class. To put it more simply, he was a commoner. He didn’t have the right to speak, and he didn’t have any privileges. He wasn’t a Big Shot either. If you had to say that he was a public figure … The title of “star player” was on the same level as second or third-tier actors in the eyes of the public Security Department.
In summary, the progress of the investigation was quite urgent, and it took 20 minutes to queue up to report the case. There was only one police officer in charge of the reception. When ghost Hunter’s parents and brother Chan finished explaining the situation, it was almost 3:30. The police then prepared to get the surveillance cameras on the streets near the public order office building.
Seeing this, brother Chan had no choice but to use his connections … So, he contacted the company’s higher-ups, and they didn’t say anything. Don’t worry, we … Have a relationship. To be able to make it to the top of the industry, from the top to the bottom, one had to have connections … This was the so-called ‘relationship’. Ghost Hunter’s significance to the competition was self-evident. This directly involved the studio’s interests. Even if he was regarded as an “asset,” it was worth it to use his connections.
In the end, within ten minutes of Zen Dream’s call, the task force … Started.
In this day and age, as long as you had someone above you, everything was easy to do. You don’t have enough people, right? Why did he ask the police officers who were resting at home to work overtime? why did he have to be on call 24/7? It was to serve the people.
After fouro’ clock, the investigation progressed rapidly. Seven or eight people from the Bureau were sent to watch the surveillance cameras, and the route before the disappearance was quickly found. The field team sent out another five police cars to interrogate the witnesses along the ghost hunter’s off-work route.
The police quickly circled the approximate time of the disappearance and locked on a white van and three suspects. It was basically confirmed to be a kidnapping incident.
However … Just as brother Chan was about to let out a sigh of relief and hide in the toilet cubicle to take a piss or smoke a cigarette … Something that made him shudder happened.
This matter was really a coincidence …
Brother Zen liked to do things while squatting, and the toilet he went to was full of sitting toilets, so he squatted on the edge of the toilet without any public morality.
He had just squatted down and was about to light a cigarette when he heard a sound outside the cubicle. It seemed like someone had entered the toilet.
When the man walked in, he was already on the phone. He lowered his voice and said,””Why are you calling now? “I’m in the police station … It’s not convenient for me to talk …”He said as he walked in, and then locked the toilet door from the inside without thinking.
After he locked the door, he walked a few more steps to the side and peeked at each of the cubicles from the bottom to see if there was anyone inside …
Perhaps it was because of his guilty conscience, this person instinctively held the phone in one hand and covered his mouth with the other to block the sound. This caused him to be unable to turn the doorknob of the cubicle … If he didn’t turn the doorknob, he couldn’t open the door … He couldn’t open the door, so he looked from the bottom …
As for brother Chan … He was squatting on the toilet, so his feet could not be seen from the outside.
By chance, Zen dream had successfully started to eavesdrop on them …
“Okay … There’s no one nearby. You can tell me …” After the man finished the examination, he stood by the sink and raised his voice a little.
When Zen dream heard the guy’s first two sentences, she thought that the man had received a call from a mistress.
But … After listening for thirty seconds, brother Chan was shocked.
The man standing outside the cubicle was surnamed Zheng, the Deputy bureau chief of this branch. The unknown person who had called him … Was instructing him to delay the investigation.
Judging from Deputy bureau chief Zheng’s tone, he had either received a bribe or had something on him … In short, he was probably ready to do as he was told.
In any case, it wasn’t difficult to delay the investigation, and the risk after the implementation … Wasn’t big. Because this kind of behavior was difficult to define after the event … What do you mean by delaying? Delaying could also be called being cautious, but if being overly cautious led to a delay in time, could it be called delaying? Even if it did lead to some bad consequences, what evidence do you have to prove that this ‘delay’ was intentional?
About two minutes later, Deputy bureau chief Zheng finished his call.
As for brother Zen in the cubicle … His pants were half-removed, and his feet were on the edge of the toilet. He was half-squatting, with a cigarette in one hand and a lighter in the other … He was in this position, not even daring to make a sound.
Not to mention smoking, he even suppressed his shit addiction …
After Deputy bureau chief Zheng hung up the phone, he washed his hands in front of the sink, looked at himself in the mirror, and then turned around …
“Hmm …” Maybe it was because of his years of experience in criminal investigation, or maybe it was because of his suspicious nature, he suddenly thought of opening all the doors of the cubicles and double-checking …
Kada kada kata
Soon, he opened the door of the cubicle next to brother Zen’s and glanced inside.
No one …
Then, his footsteps came to the door of the cubicle in front of brother Chan …
At that moment, Zen Dream’s heart was in his throat. The only way he could think of was to pretend to be deaf and mute and fool them for the time being …
Ping, ping, ping, ping!
Just as Deputy bureau chief Zheng was about to open the second door, someone knocked on the door of the toilet.
“Hey! Who’s inside! Open the door!” A man’s voice could be heard from outside.”Who closed the toilet door? Hurry up and open the door!”
From his tone, he seemed to be in a hurry …
Deputy bureau chief Zheng heard this and pouted. He quickly walked over and opened the door of the toilet.
“Get out of the way …” The person who came in was not a police officer, and he did not know the Deputy bureau chief in front of him. The man pushed Deputy Zheng away and ran to the first cubicle. As he closed the door, he cursed,”the public toilet is locked! F * ck your uncle!”
Then, a thunderous sound came from the cubicle, and a horrible smell filled the air.
“Ah!” After a few seconds, the man let out a comfortable sigh.
Before he could finish, Deputy bureau chief Zheng had already covered his nose and fled far away from the toilet …
As for Zen dream, with the help of this ‘brother Sanji’, he narrowly escaped death.
…………
Back to the present, in the waiting hall of the police station.
It had been almost forty minutes since Feng bujue’s group arrived. During that time, Zen dream first told them about his previous experience and what he knew. Then, he brought brother Jue and Xiao Tan to greet ghost Hunter’s parents and introduced them as ‘Xiao Mo’s friends’.
Then, Feng bujue went to make a few phone calls alone.
At 6:20 P. M., A black Phaeton stopped in front of the police station, and a man got out of the front passenger seat.
The man was dressed in a black suit. He had a proper appearance and a serious expression.
When he walked past Xiao Tan’s Silver Porsche, he gave it a side glance before moving on.
Not long after, he walked into the waiting hall, and his eyes met brother Jue and the others.
“Hey, master Bao, you’re here.” Feng bujue walked forward with a smile and greeted the agent from Department 9.
“I say …” Bao Qing did not hold back and answered directly,”the Porsche at the door is Xiao Tan ‘s, right?”
“Yup,” Xiao Tan, who was beside him, replied immediately.
“You know you’ll get a fine if you Park there, right?” So this was what Bao Qing was conflicted about.
“Er … Brother Jue asked me to Park there …” Xiao Tan replied.
“Don’t worry, old Bao,” Feng bujue laughed.”The richer a car is, the less people will dare to stick a note when it is parked in front of the law enforcement agency.”
“Although your relationship with the law-enforcement department has always been tense, is it really appropriate for you to stand in their office building and defame them like this …” Bao Qing narrowed his eyes and complained.
“Hehe … Then let’s do a social experiment when we have time and see who will post it.” Feng bujue shrugged.”I’m telling you … Whoever dares to post it will be the pillar of society.”
“Okay, okay, okay …” Bao Qing didn’t want to talk nonsense with him. He waved his hand and said,”let’s get down to business first.”
The long story was short. After the few of them had a brief conversation, Feng bujue introduced Bao Qing to brother Chan. Then, Bao Qing showed his id to a police officer …
Five minutes later, the four of them were sitting in the director’s office …
After entering the room, Bao Qing greeted the Bureau chief and showed his id again. Then … He handed him a phone.
The director took the phone and walked into the room next door.
At this point, Zen Dream’s brain had basically short-circuited, and the way he looked at Feng bujue’s group could no longer remain calm.
“This … Brother Bao.” Brother Zen asked curiously,”may I know where you’re working?”
“A civil servant.” Bao Qing only replied with three words.
“Er …” Brother Chan naturally wanted to ask more about this answer.”Specifically …” He said.
“A civil servant.” Bao Qing looked at Zen dream with a smile and repeated the words with emphasis.
With brother Chan’s intelligence, he understood … There was no need to ask anymore.
“Speaking of which … Who’s that on the other end of the phone?” Feng bujue turned to Bao Qing and asked.
“The person on the other end of the phone is someone who has the power to decide many things.” Bao Qing replied,”and the person who has the power to decide a lot of things just talked to a ‘familiar face’ ten minutes ago.”
“Oh …” Feng bujue said.”So, he’s here to talk to the chief now …”
“It seems like they’ve finished talking.” When Bao Qing said this, the director just came back from the next room.
“Senior officer.” The director walked to Bao Qing with a serious face.”What are your plans next?”
Before Bao Qing could reply, Feng bujue, who was sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed, interrupted,””Pack up all the investigation information so far and send it to the computer here. Also, get that Zheng guy to be on standby in the interrogation room …” He said quickly, and then added,”Oh, right, don’t forget to confiscate his mobile phone as soon as possible.”
Seeing this, Zen dream looked at brother Jue in shock and thought, Hey, hey … That’s too arrogant.
However, the director didn’t have much of a reaction. He just looked at Bao Qing silently.
“Sigh …” Master Bao sighed and said to the Bureau chief,”let’s do as he says …”
