You're supposed to be a security officer, what case are you solving?

Chapter 392 Using underhanded tactics against me?

Cai Ting laughed and said, "Xiao Cai, your dad is a nice guy, he looks radiant."

Yao Weihua nodded: "That's right. Even if you have a few million in your hand, you'll still look radiant. That's what a capitalist is."

“Bullshit, they’re called entrepreneurs now,” Cai Ting retorted. “Don’t label the family members of your comrades.”

The two looked at Maozi and Li Yang. When they saw Feng Xiaocai's father, they kept their distance. Yao Weihua couldn't help but smile knowingly.

If you have nothing to hide, why would you hide?

Undoubtedly, both of these guys had feelings for Feng Xiaocai.

Yao Weihua joked, "I didn't realize that Cat Brother was such a reserved and secretly passionate person."

“You can’t describe a kitten like that.” Cai Ting also found it amusing: “But that sheep is openly flirtatious.”

"Haha, Sister Cai, you have such a sharp tongue."

"The disparity in social status makes men insecure."

Yang Jinwen changed the subject: "Has the school arranged for someone to help?"

Yao Weihua straightened his expression: "The Xingye District Police Station has already set up a stakeout at the school. As long as Geng Hao dares to show up at No. 11 Middle School, he will definitely not be able to escape."

"Any news from the Second Battalion?"

"They're probably still in line, Captain Yang. Should we contact Shen Wenzhu?"

Tell them to take it easy; if they startle someone, all our work today will have been for nothing.

Cai Ting nodded: "The Second Brigade just wants to catch the people first. If they find out where these criminals are, we'll be in trouble."

Yao Weihua squinted: "No need to think about it, Shen Wenzhu definitely has this in mind. Before we set off, I saw Wu Kai secretly telling Shen Wenzhu something on the stairs, probably trying to steal our thunder."

Cai Ting continued, "This is not only a slap in the face for us, but also for Director Wen, Captain Yang."

Yang Jinwen shook his head: "Don't think too much. Focus on the task at hand. Have the people outside made the arrangements?"

Yao Weihua replied, "We called the Criminal Investigation Brigade of Xingye District Public Security Bureau. Their people were on the outside, and we were on the inside. We cooperated to arrest the person."

An idea popped into Yang Jinwen's head, and he was about to assign tasks when he suddenly saw a group of people walking in through the mall's main entrance.

Upon closer inspection, Wu Kai was leading a large group of more than a dozen people, walking briskly towards them.

Yang Jinwen frowned slightly, and Yao Weihua and Cai Ting's expressions also fell.

Yang Jinwen went to greet him, but before he could speak, Wu Kai spoke first.

"Captain Yang, Director Wen has informed Director Yue about the case. Director Yue's idea is that, in order to ensure the smooth arrest, this time the First Brigade and your Third Brigade will jointly carry out the arrest."

Director Yue meant that the case was important, involving multiple lives, and it was also the end of the year, so we couldn't be careless in handling the case.

"No..." Yao Weihua was furious: "Why? Captain Wu, we've been investigating this case for several days, barely getting any sleep, and we're finally about to arrest someone."

We had no objection to you assigning the Second Brigade to conduct investigations on Xinglin Road, since our Third Brigade is smaller. But now the First Brigade is getting involved too. What do you mean by that? Are you trying to steal the credit?

"Yao Weihua, can't you tell the difference between what's important and what's not?" Wu Kai's tone suddenly rose: "I just told you, this is Director Yue's idea!"
Of course, whether it's the First, Second, or Third Brigade, they are all part of the Qincheng Detachment. We are criminal police officers, and we can't delay solving cases for our own benefit, right?

"Ha!" Cai Ting sneered, "Team Leader Wu, you're the ones who created the honor roll! And you're the ones competing for the highest crime-solving rate!"
Now you're turning the tables on us, saying we delayed the investigation in our efforts to solve the case. Isn't that the opposite of what you're saying?

Seeing his subordinates directly confront him, Wu Kai felt embarrassed and shouted, "This is an arrangement by the organization, an arrangement by Director Yue!"
Yao Weihua, Cai Ting, you have no choice but to obey! If you two try to shirk your responsibilities, then you'd better go back to the brigade right now and reflect on your actions!

Yao Weihua raised his head high: "Team Leader Wu, you're just bullying people. Everyone knows that Director Wen was transferred to the provincial capital, and you..."

He hadn't finished speaking when Yang Jinwen quickly tugged at his hand.

If Lao Yao really gets his mind out of it, things will get out of control.

Lu Ruixiang, who had been standing silently to the side, cleared his throat and tried to smooth things over: "Don't get agitated. I, Old Lu, am here to help, not to steal credit."

Squad Leader Wu is right. If it weren't for Director Yue's instructions, I really wouldn't have wanted to come.

Furthermore, this case belongs to your Third Brigade, so it will always be yours. Even if the person is caught, it will be handed over to you for trial, and you will be responsible for closing the case. We will absolutely not take credit for it!

"Captain Yang, I, Lu Ruixiang, assure you in front of everyone, we will only arrest people; we will not interfere with the follow-up of the case!"

Yang Jinwen smiled, but his smile was cold; he didn't smile at anyone, but rather faced another direction.

"I'll call Director Wen and ask about the situation."

Wu Kai nodded: "Okay."

Yang Jinwen walked to the side and dialed the phone number in Wen Mo's office.

His first priority was to make sure that Wen Mo was alright. If he wasn't, why hadn't he been notified in advance?
A moment later, the call connected, and Wen Mo sighed on the other end: "Jinwen, has Wu Kai gone to the scene?"

"Yes."

"I'll follow your instructions."

"...Director Wen, are you alright?"

"What do you think I'm under investigation for? Don't worry, nothing's wrong. If they want to make trouble, let them make trouble."

"Okay, let's talk again after we're done." "..."

Wen Mo hung up the phone immediately, clearly not in a good mood.

Yang Jinwen gripped his phone tightly and walked up to Wu Kai: "Team Leader Wu, leave the deployment inside the mall to the First Brigade. We'll go outside and keep watch."

Yao Weihua, her eyes red, said, "Captain Yang! I disagree!"

"Follow orders!"

Without warning, Yang Jinwen lost his temper with Yao Weihua.

Cai Ting hesitated to speak, but Feng Xiaocai grabbed her arm and told her to be quiet.

"Third Brigade, hand over the arrest scene to the First Brigade, and come with me to stake out the area!"

Since joining the police force, this was the first time Maozi had ever seen Yang Jinwen lose his temper. Not only him, but Yao Weihua and Cai Ting had also never seen Captain Yang's face so stern.

Seeing the situation become tense, Wu Kai sighed, pulled Yang Jinwen aside, and explained in a low voice: "Captain Yang, this really wasn't my arrangement. It was Director Yue's order. I, Wu Kai, can swear on that!"
I have no prejudice against Director Wen, against you, or against the Third Brigade. I swear on my badge!
Not only me, but Lao Lu and Lu Ruixiang thought the same way; we never expected Director Yue to make this arrangement.

Yang Jinwen carefully observed Wu Kai's expression.

The other party did seem very embarrassed, and their tone was very sincere.

If someone can even swear an oath to their police badge, they're probably not lying.

Moreover, judging from the tone of his words, it seemed that Yue Hongdong was targeting Wen Mo.

When gods fight, innocent bystanders suffer. Such troublesome things happen in any organization, let alone when Wen Mo and Yang Jinwen are still "outsiders".

Yang Jinwen let out a slight sigh of relief: "Deputy Chief Wu, don't say that. I'll follow the organization's arrangements."

"Okay, I'm glad you understand." Wu Kai patted his shoulder forcefully: "Once this case is closed, your Third Squad will get all the credit, I said it!"

Upon hearing this, Yang Jinwen became even more certain that Yue Hongdong was definitely targeting his father-in-law.

Wen Mo wanted to take control of the criminal investigation team and was unwilling to be a mediocre deputy. He transferred Yang Jinwen and others from An'nan City, along with his original team, to the provincial capital, simply because he wanted to achieve something.

But Yue Hongdong clearly didn't want his father-in-law to act so recklessly. It was as if he was saying, "Just stay put and I don't believe I can't keep you in check."
Yang Jinwen led his men out of Xingye Department Store and found that it had started snowing outside, and the streets were wet.

"Captain Yang, are we just going to let this go like this?" Yao Wei was still unwilling to give up.

Cai Ting replied to him, "We can't let this go like this. I can't swallow this insult!"

Maozi and Feng Xiaocai were relatively junior, and they didn't dare to say a word earlier, and they still didn't dare to say a word now, but their expressions were very dejected.

Wu Daqing and Li Yang dared not speak and could only remain silent to the side.

Yao Weihua urged, "Captain Yang, say something! When have we ever been treated like this in Annam?"
Even if all the credit goes to us, I'm still not satisfied because we missed the crucial step of catching the suspect!

Cai Ting said unhappily, "The Second Brigade is searching on Xinglin Road, and the First Brigade is arresting people at Xingye Shopping Mall. Are we really going to help them stake out outside?"

Yang Jinwen looked up at his watch; it was already past 10 a.m., still a long way from the time of the arrest.

He glanced at the long line outside KFC and smiled, "Everyone must be hungry, right? Let's go get something to eat first."

Feng Xiaocai quickly said, "I'll go buy it."

"No need, let's go inside and sit down, it's still early anyway."

Yao Weihua and Cai Ting exchanged a glance, neither quite understanding what Captain Yang meant. At this critical juncture, was he really going to just give up and not fight for anything?
Ten minutes later, inside the KFC restaurant.

Feng Xiaocai directed Li Yang and Maozi to bring over several plates from the counter, on which were placed hamburgers, fries, and cola.

There were seven people sitting around a table.

Yang Jinwen leaned back on the sofa, picked up a hamburger, and took a bite.

Yao Weihua had no appetite. He turned around and saw that the glass door behind KFC was facing the mall lobby.

Lu Ruixiang is arranging for a large team of people to stake out certain locations; even the mall's security guards have been called in.

Ma Hui, the deputy captain of the first brigade, suddenly noticed that people from the third brigade were sitting inside KFC, and tugged at Lu Ruixiang's sleeve.

Seeing this, Yao Weihua rolled his eyes and immediately raised his middle finger.

Ma Hui chuckled, unconcerned, and winked vigorously, the mockery in his eyes obvious.

Yao Weihua was so angry that he wanted to hit someone, and roared, "Damn it, this old Ma, I'll deal with him sooner or later."

Cai Ting put a French fry in her mouth: "This is the first time I've ever eaten this stuff. It's so dry."

Feng Xiaocai quickly brought over a jar of tomato sauce: "Sister Cai, dip it in some tomato sauce, it will taste better that way."

Maozi, Li Yang, and Wu Daqing dared not touch their mouths, but seeing Yang Jinwen eating heartily as if nothing had happened, they also picked up their hamburgers, swallowed, and then tasted them as if they were holding bombs.

After finishing his hamburger, Yang Jinwen wiped his hands with a tissue, straightened up, and squinted slightly.

"Eat quickly, then get back to work!"

Upon hearing Yang Jinwen's confident tone, Yao Weihua's eyebrows twitched, and two words came to mind: He's got something to offer!
