How come I'm invincible?

Chapter 88 I've killed at least eight hundred, if not a thousand. You think you can just refuse? Try it.

The police department has taken action.

When a large number of constables dressed in their uniforms and with swords at their waists appeared on the street from inside the mansion.

The people were stunned.

Xu Ming looked at the twenty-five men under his command and said loudly, "We are in charge of the operation in the eastern urban area. You are all locals of Anzhou, so you must be very familiar with their whereabouts. Who is willing to come out and lead the way?"

"Chief Xu, I'll lead the way."

"Okay, let's go."

Xu Ming waved his hand and immediately took action.

Qian Tao, Wu Yong, and Yang Ming fully embraced their roles as squad leaders, each leading their assigned constables to their assigned areas.

Their goals are very clear.

Eradicate Huang Shan's remaining forces completely and wipe them out in one fell swoop!
Whether or not a crime has been committed is not important; what is important is that the person must be arrested and imprisoned. After interrogation, the truth will be revealed.

For this group of newly appointed constables...

At this moment, I feel both nervous and excited.

Without any prior training, we were dressed in our uniforms, armed with knives, and ready to apprehend those tyrannical bullies who usually ran rampant. It would be a lie to say we weren't nervous, but everyone had the same thought in their mind.

That is, being eager to try.

at this time.

Lin Fan sat in the chief office of the Public Security Bureau, like a general sitting firmly in the central command tent, in control of the overall situation.

Suppressing Huang Shan's forces was just the first blow he wielded after arriving in Anzhou!

The purpose was to establish authority, but more importantly, to reassure the people!
"Deputy Squad Leader Li, go to the prefect's office now and tell him that I, Lin Fan, have invited him to a restaurant tonight," Lin Fan instructed.

Li Zhengdao, "Which restaurant?"

"Choose a place along your way, nothing too expensive, just a normal one."

"Yes, Your Excellency obeys."

Li Zhengdao was a smart man. He knew to choose sides as quickly as possible. He was most afraid of people who were indecisive and wavered between the two sides. Based on his understanding of Lin Fan, he decisively chose to side with Lin Fan.

As for the reason?

Nonsense... This guy is too good at fighting!

She's practically a human weapon!
The more you learn about him, the more you realize how terrifying Lin Fan is.

Although he didn't witness the annihilation of the bandits of Shilong Mountain and the pirates of Tianxian Island firsthand, he had heard most of the details. The people who went with him didn't lift a finger; Lin Fan did all the work himself.

One against a hundred.

Is this something a human could do?
Clearly, this is not something a human being could do.

After Li Zhengdao left, Lin Fan looked at Ning Yu and said, "Go and draft a welfare system for the constables of the Anzhou Prefecture, and also draft a 100-day action announcement. This action was initiated by us in Yong'an, and we can't neglect it now that we're in Anzhou. At the same time, in the name of the Anzhou Prefecture, issue it to the other seven counties under the prefecture, excluding Yong'an, and order them to carry it out simultaneously without any mistakes."

"Yes, Master," Ning Yu replied with enthusiasm.

Lin Fan nodded in satisfaction.

He then went alone to the head guard's room. He wasn't there to have tea, but to bring out all the files so he could see them for himself.

……

at the same time.

Inside a gambling den called Hongyun in Dongcheng District.

The place was filled with smoke and noise.

The shouts of gamblers, the clinking of dice, and the jingling of coins mingled together.

Some people scream with joy when they win money, while others wail in despair when they lose everything.

Jin San, Huang Shan's trusted confidant who was in charge of guarding the gambling den, was standing behind the second-floor railing, squinting as he looked down with a satisfied expression.

The crazier these gamblers go, the more they earn.

A henchman rushed up to Jin San, his face pale, and said, "Third Master, something's happened."

"What's wrong? Who ran away with gambling debts again?" Jin San frowned. Gambling debts are indeed difficult to collect. Some people are driven too far, and running away is the least of their worries. Some even commit suicide by jumping into the river.

This put him in a difficult position.

"It's not about the gambling debts, but rather..."

boom!
Before the younger brother could finish speaking, a loud bang was heard, and the gambling den's door was violently kicked open from the outside, the huge noise instantly attracting everyone's attention.

Xu Ming, leading his constables, strode into the house.

The younger brother wanted to say something, but Kim Jong-un interrupted him.

His face darkened, and he hurriedly ran down from the second floor, blocking Xu Ming's path. He forced a calm gesture and cupped his hands in greeting, "Officers, this is Master Huang's gambling den. What is the meaning of this?"

Xu Ming looked at Jin San, and a constable came to Xu Ming's side and said, "Squad leader, this man is named Jin San, Huang Shan's confidant."

"Take him down!" Xu Ming didn't waste any words and gave the order in a stern voice.

Kim San's face changed drastically. Before he could recover, he saw two constables walking towards him. He suddenly stepped back and shouted angrily, "How dare you! You mere constables, do you really think I, Kim San, am easy to bully? Brothers, grab your weapons!"

The thugs guarding the casino picked up wooden sticks and glared menacingly at the constables in front of them.

Sonorous!

"Everyone, listen to my command, draw your swords!" Xu Ming's voice was icy. "Anyone who dares to obstruct or resist will be executed on the spot!"

"Yes."

A series of rapid metallic scraping sounds rang out. Although the constables behind him were tense, their movements were decisive. They drew their swords from their waists in unison, the gleaming blades reflecting a chilling light in the dimly lit gambling den.

The casino clerks stared in surprise, looking down at the wooden stick in their hands.

Are you really going to fight someone with a knife using a wooden stick?

Isn't this courting death?

Kim Sam was clearly surprised by the tough stance of the constables in front of him, and his momentum softened somewhat. "Sir, is it necessary to make things this way? Just say what you want. I, Kim Sam, am not an unreasonable person."

He knew that the group of constables he used to know had all been dismissed.

These constables were following that Chief Lin.

In his view, it was nothing more than a power struggle, with the winner ultimately taking over everything, and all their gambling den had to do was to bribe again.

Although it would be a waste of money.

But as long as things remain stable and the casino continues to operate, money will flow in like a never-ending stream.

"Take it down for me." Xu Ming was too lazy to say more.

The henchman, who hadn't even finished speaking, shouted, "Master Jin, Master Huang has already been beheaded at Caishikou by the constables of the Public Security Bureau!"

what! ?

Kim San's pupils dilated and contracted, clearly showing signs of bewilderment.

He couldn't believe the news he heard.

At that moment, he was stunned, standing there at a loss.

Street.

The people had already gathered in layers upon layers, standing on tiptoe to look at the entrance of the gambling den.

Soon, when the constables led out a string of people, including a deathly pale-faced Kim Sam, an uncontrollable gasp and murmur erupted from the crowd.

"So many people have been arrested?"

"Kim Jong-un has been arrested."

"Nonsense, Huang Shan was beheaded by Chief Lin, what is Jin San?"

"That's right, Jin San has caused a lot of harm, and countless families have been ruined and destroyed. Now, heaven has eyes and he has finally gotten his comeuppance."

"This isn't just divine intervention; it's because Commander Lin is upright and honest, and he keeps his word. Our Anzhou might really undergo a dramatic transformation."

The people were talking and discussing.

Now, the police prefecture is taking action to change the public's perception of it.

Xu Ming has made some progress.

The same was true for Qian Tao and his group. They held sharp blades, which meant they held the truth. All of Huang Shan's henchmen were captured, and none of them were spared.

This situation caused a sensation in Anju.

As news of Huang Shan's beheading gradually spread to every resident of Anzhou, a sense of astonishment, shock, and disbelief permeated the air.

……

Security Prefecture.

Snapped!
In front of the four squad leaders, Lin Fan slammed the case file in his hand onto the table. "Look at this, look at this! Is this even a case file? It's utter garbage, evidence of framing someone!"

During this period, he went through the case files, and at first it was fine.

But the more he flipped through it, the angrier he became.

It even reached the point where it was unbearable.

Horse riding.

Yong'an wasn't this dark before.

Yang Ming said, "Sir, these files should not be taken seriously. Most of the people currently imprisoned are being framed and made scapegoats."

Lu Zhongtian said, "My lord, I know most of the facts. Qi Lianhai and his gang used to do things for money, and they could turn black into white. They wrote the case files randomly and forced people to sign confessions. The Anzhou Security Bureau was rotten to the core."

He worked for the Anzhou Prefectural Government for many years.

They are very familiar with the situation here.

But there was nothing he could do. As an ordinary constable, he had no say whatsoever, and was even ostracized because he couldn't integrate into their circle.

Anyone else would have given up long ago.

But he endured it, persevered, and suffered.

He believed that there would definitely be hope.

And now, that hope has finally appeared.

Lin Fan took a deep breath and said, "Pass down the order: all brothers will work overtime tonight. Half of them will continue to sort out and verify these damn files, while the other half will immediately interrogate all the prisoners in jail, verify the case details one by one, and inquire about their grievances."

"I want to rectify all these wrongful convictions and miscarriages of justice in the shortest possible time."

"At the same time, if the case involves the former constables, bring them back to me for intensive interrogation and make them confess the whole process."

After saying that, he looked at Xu Ming and said, "You'll have to do a lot of work. Make a copy of the family photo set meal we prepared in Yong'an. If you encounter anyone who doesn't cooperate, torture them."

“Yes, sir,” Xu Ming replied.

Lu Zhongtian clenched his fists, his whole body pounding with excitement.

He knew that the current head constable was going to reopen old cases, which meant that those who had been falsely accused and made scapegoats could be rescued, while the original group of constables would not escape punishment.

Good, good, good.

It's really great.

That's what he wants to see.

Qian Tao asked, "Sir, what should we do with Ximen Hai?"

Lin Fan snorted and said, "Let's leave him here for now and 'treat' him well in the prison. Once we've stabilized the current situation, we can then make our move on him."

Qian Tao and the others understood that Ximen Hai was doomed, just like Hu Yu had been.

Of course, Ximen Hai's family background is definitely much stronger than Hu Yu's, and his father must have more connections, but what good are connections anyway?

Even with the most powerful connections, if you run into Brother Lin, he'll shut the door on you.

Others don't know.

How could they not know that their Brother Lin was fully immersed in playing the role of the Chief of Police of the Public Security Bureau, fighting against all sorts of monsters and demons based on the law?

But what if Brother Lin doesn't want to play the role anymore?

As for the situation... it's hard to say.

……

night.

Inside a private room at Chunxiang Restaurant.

Lin Fan sipped his tea and munched on snacks, quite satisfied with the improvement in his toxicity resistance.

[Toxicity Resistance: LV2 (35/500)]

My level has already been upgraded, but Tiannanxing is still useful, so I'm not in a hurry to exchange it for snacks.

Of course, when he unleashed his swordsmanship and began killing in the city, his swordsmanship was revealed.

[Beginner Knife Skills (Not Yet a Beginner 32/100)]

Previously, he could have been a little excited.

But now, he doesn't really feel much about these emerging skills.

The most comprehensive method now is the Unity Body Refinement Technique. After practicing it, one will experience improvements in all aspects, and any weapon in his hands will have a deadly killing power.

At the entrance of the restaurant, a luxurious carriage slowly came to a stop, followed by a row of armed soldiers.

The servants quickly brought over a stool.

Prefect Zhao bent down and crawled out of the carriage, stood on a footstool, straightened his official robes, and then looked up at the rather ordinary restaurant in front of him, his brows furrowing almost imperceptibly.

It's not that he has any dispute with the restaurant.

It's just that this restaurant is too ordinary; he wouldn't have even glanced at it before.

But now Lin Fan invited him here. When he received the invitation, Prefect Zhao considered many possibilities, namely that Lin Fan wanted to have a good talk with him.

After all, if he were to offend the prefect, no matter how fierce or capable he was, it would be extremely difficult for him to act freely in Anzhou.

He had analyzed Lin Fan's situation.

This person is resourceful, capable, and has great courage.

But up to this point, he has never believed that what Lin Fan did was truly for the benefit of the people. Instead, he thinks that Lin Fan wants to gain prestige among the people through unconventional means, thereby accelerating his progress.

He did it, rising from a lowly commoner to the head of a prefecture.

The speed of this promotion was nothing short of lightning-fast.

Everyone who sees it will be confused.

Even for him, the prefect, it was the same. He had to kneel and lick boots countless times and spend more than a decade climbing to this position.

This is still considered one of his more sensible and diligent years.

at this time.

Upon seeing the prefect appear, the restaurant owner immediately bowed and scraped, speaking with utmost respect:

"Welcome, Your Excellency Prefect! Your humble establishment is honored. Chief Steward Lin has been waiting for you in the private room upstairs for quite some time. Please show me the way."

Prefect Zhao's expression remained unchanged; he simply hummed in response.

To the shopkeeper, the prefect was a nobody, but he could only think about it in his heart. He certainly wouldn't dare to say it out loud. If he really met him, he would still have to be humble. How could he dare to glare at him angrily? Did he really not want to live?

In the box.

Lin Fan naturally heard the commotion, but he didn't expect that Prefect Zhao would have to bring soldiers with him when he went out. He must be very afraid of being killed on the way.

creak!

"Your Excellency, please come in."

The shopkeeper pushed open the door, bent down, and gestured an invitation.

Lin Fan remained calmly seated in the main seat, only glancing indifferently towards the door. "Prefect Zhao, you've arrived?"

The prefect's expression changed in an instant, like a theatrical performance, and a smile immediately appeared on his face. "Since Master Lin invited me, how could I, Zhao, refuse? Even if there were something of utmost importance, I would have to put it aside for now, haha..."

"You're too kind, please have a seat," Lin Fan said.

The innkeeper, being very perceptive, quickly bowed and said, "Please enjoy your meal, gentlemen. I will wait downstairs and will let you know if you need anything."

After saying that, he carefully withdrew and gently closed the door.

Once downstairs, he instructed the waiter, "Keep your ears open, and come up immediately if you hear any noise."

"Don't worry, boss, I know." The waiter nodded. When he learned that Chief Lin of the Prefectural Government was going to invite Prefect Zhao here, not only was he stunned, but even his boss was stunned.

The waiter whispered, "Shopkeeper, isn't there a rumor going around that Chief Lin is going to clean up and rectify the security situation in Anzhou? How come he's with Prefect Zhao?"

In the vast city of Anzhou, who doesn't know that the former Zhian Prefecture was actually Prefect Zhao's private backyard, where everyone obeyed his orders?

Who is the biggest corrupt official in Anzhou?

That must be Prefect Zhao.

Unfortunately, even if they knew, what could they do? No one dared to take action.

The shopkeeper slapped the waiter on the head. "You don't know anything. The affairs of officialdom are full of truths and lies. How can ordinary people like us see through them? Life is like a play, and it all depends on acting skills! What about the upright and just officials? They're just for fools."

Which official doesn't want to get promoted and make money? They might fight tooth and nail in public, but behind the scenes they're probably as close as brothers. It's all just fooling a bunch of fools.

"Shopkeeper, does that mean I'm an idiot?" the waiter blinked.

The shopkeeper whispered, "The fact that you know you're stupid means you're not really stupid. We just need to do our job well; the rest is none of our business."

"Oh, I actually believed it." The waiter was a little disappointed.

He genuinely believed that the newly arrived Chief Lin could speak up for the people.

In the box.

Prefect Zhao couldn't quite figure out Lin Fan's thoughts yet, so he decided to test the waters first. He pretended to be relaxed and said, "Chief Supervisor Lin, I can understand what you've been doing these past two days. It's only right for us in charge of a department to do the same. It's normal to remove those who don't obey." Lin Fan smiled, eating his arisaema, maintaining a polite smile.

Prefect Zhao noticed that Lin Fan remained silent.

I think what I just said might have been true.

"Chief Lin, the way of officialdom is to blend in with the world, especially for someone as young and promising as you with unlimited potential. But if you want to advance further in your career, personal ability alone is far from enough. In many cases, the strength of the group is crucial. This is something a prime minister once told me personally."

Prefect Zhao gave a brief hint.

He knew an official of a higher rank.

Lin Fan smiled and raised his hand to interrupt, "Prefect Zhao, I invited you here because I want to get straight to the point."

"Oh... Chief Lin, go ahead." Prefect Zhao was very expectant.

If Lin Fan were to soften his stance even slightly, he would seize the opportunity to give Lin Fan a chance to unite and work together to control Anzhou, which would be the best outcome.

In any given place, conflict is brutal and benefits neither side.

Only by uniting can we reap unimaginable benefits.

Lin Fan said, "The Security Bureau has been thrown into chaos by them. There is no money left in the accounts. Today, they recruited another hundred constables. Their monthly salaries are quite substantial. I hope that Prefect Zhao can transfer a sum of tax money from the treasury for the daily operation of the Security Bureau and the salaries of its personnel."

According to regulations, a portion of the various taxes collected in Anzhou were handed over to the imperial court, while the remainder was kept in the local treasury for various local administrative expenses.

Upon hearing this, Prefect Zhao remained calm, smiled, picked up his teacup, took a sip, and then put it down, saying, "I know Chief Instructor Lin's difficulties, but before we discuss this matter, I would like to discuss a personal matter with Chief Instructor Lin, namely, whether or not Ximen Hai can be released?"

As long as Lin Fan agrees to release Ximen Hai.

He granted Lin Fan's request.

"Impossible." Lin Fan answered decisively, "Ximen Hai attempted to rape a woman in broad daylight. The evidence is conclusive. I witnessed it with my own eyes. How can we just let him go?"

As soon as these words came out.

The previously smiling Prefect Zhao's expression instantly turned somewhat ugly.

"Chief Lin, why dwell on this matter? Every young person makes mistakes. A small punishment is enough to teach him a lesson. Why insist on fighting to the bitter end? Besides, the Anzhou Chamber of Commerce is a behemoth. If we really fight, I'm afraid you won't be able to handle it, Chief Lin."

Prefect Zhao seems to pose a threat.

He truly hadn't expected that the man surnamed Lin would be so stubborn, clinging to this matter and refusing to let go.

"Can't withstand it?" Lin Fan laughed. "Alright, I really want to see what tricks the Anzhou Chamber of Commerce has up its sleeve that could make me, Lin Fan, unable to withstand it."

He leaned forward slightly, his gaze sharp as a knife, and pressed again, "Prefect Zhao, I'll ask you just one question: will the treasury provide the funds the prefecture is short of, or not?"

The atmosphere suddenly changed.

Who would have thought that Lin Fan's temper could explode so easily?

Prefect Zhao took a deep breath. "The treasury is running out of money; there's no silver left."

"Say it again?" Lin Fan said.

"I have no money."

boom! ! !
Lin Fan suddenly raised his hand and slammed the table into pieces, scattering the delicacies all over the floor. Prefect Zhao, who was sitting there, was clearly shocked. He froze in his chair, staring dumbfounded at the mess at his feet, his face filled with horror and disbelief.

"Where did the silver go?" Lin Fan suddenly stood up, his voice like thunder, his eyes wide with anger, pointing at Prefect Zhao's nose and shouting, "The silver in the treasury is the tax silver paid by the people of Anzhou. How dare you tell me there's no silver?"

He came to ask for money, not to negotiate with the other party.

The loud noise startled the shopkeeper and waiter downstairs, who jumped in surprise.

Looking at each other.

I wonder what happened here.

Judging from the sound, it seemed that Chief Lin was angrily berating Prefect Zhao.

They said that Prefect Zhao was a corrupt official who lined his own pockets.

The waiter stammered, "Manager...Manager, this isn't right."

The shopkeeper stood there, speechless.

Inside the private room, Prefect Zhao came to his senses, glared angrily, and stood up, saying, "Chief Lin, what do you mean by that? Who is the corrupt official? Who is lining their own pockets? If the treasury has no money, then it has no money. Don't try to make trouble for me, or I will report you to the authorities."

"Fine, I call you Prefect Zhao, do you really think you're on equal footing with me?" Lin Fan roared, pointing his finger at the other man's nose. "Let me tell you, I invited you to the restaurant to give you face. Let me tell you privately, if you don't know what's good for you, I'll bring people to the prefectural government office to demand your money back in person. I'll also report you to the authorities that more than a hundred people in the prefectural government haven't received their salaries, and the prefect says there's no money in the treasury. I'd like to see where all that money has gone."

"You...you." Prefect Zhao's chest heaved as if it were powered by a blower. "You, surnamed Lin, are too arrogant."

"Arrogant?" Lin Fan roared, "If you don't give me the money, I'll show you what lawlessness is. You surnamed Zhao, let me tell you, you have to pay this money whether you want it or not. If you don't pay, I'll make sure you don't see the sun rise the day after tomorrow."

"You...you dare threaten an official of the imperial court?" Prefect Zhao was surprised by the arrogance of the man surnamed Lin.

"Threat? An official of the imperial court?" Lin Fan sneered. "Let me tell you, I, Lin Fan, have killed at least eight hundred, if not a thousand. If you don't give me some silver from the treasury, you can try and see if I dare to touch you."

This is hardly a dinner party.

It was an absolutely shocking and treacherous banquet.

Moreover, it was a vulgar and violent banquet.

They hadn't even exchanged a few words yet.

The person exploded on the spot.

It's truly a case of a scholar encountering a soldier; whether one is right or wrong, it's useless.

At this moment, Prefect Zhao was truly frightened by Lin Fan's fierce appearance. He was a civil official, skilled in intrigue and the art of language, at most resorting to foul language and exchanging insults.

But now, this Chief Lin talks about killing people like flies, and even the fiercest and most vicious soldiers and bandits are not even a tenth as vicious as him.

"Chief Lin, are you really going to do this? Aren't you afraid of being impeached and losing your post?" Prefect Zhao retorted stubbornly.

Lin Fan walked up to Prefect Zhao and said in a deep voice, enunciating each word clearly: "Prefect Zhao, you may impeach me as you please, but I will say this again: if you impeach me, you will surely die. If you don't believe me, just try it."

To Prefect Zhao, the person close to him felt not as a human, but as a ferocious, man-eating beast.

That aura really suppressed him.

Lin Fan walked to the door, pushed it open, and looked back at Prefect Zhao. "Tomorrow, I will send someone to your place to get the paperwork. You better let me see the money tomorrow, or you'll see if I don't mess with you."

After saying that, he left the private room.

"Ah..." Prefect Zhao's face turned ashen with anger. He clenched his fists so tightly that his knuckles turned white. He looked down at the solid wood table that had been smashed to pieces by a single blow. He seemed to feel the lingering domineering power.

She swallowed her grievances whole.

downstairs.

The shopkeeper and waiter tried to appear calm, but their trembling bodies showed that they had heard everything that had happened. When they saw Lin Fan, they were both afraid and nervous.

Lin Fan smiled warmly and approached the shopkeeper. "Shopkeeper, I'm sorry, I broke the table up there. How much is it? I'll pay you back."

"No need, no need," the shopkeeper waved his hands repeatedly.

Lin Fan said, "If you want compensation, do you think this is enough?"

He took out some loose silver and placed it on the counter.

"enough."

Lin Fan smiled and nodded, then walked towards the door. The soldiers led by Prefect Zhao were blocking the entrance, watching Lin Fan warily.

"Go away."

Lin Fan shouted angrily, which frightened the soldiers into making way for him. They had also heard the commotion upstairs and knew that the man in front of them was the new chief of the Public Security Bureau.

The methods are domineering.

Ximen Hai was arrested.

Huang Shan was killed, and his gang of underlings were all wiped out by the constables of the Public Security Bureau with lightning speed.

Lin Fan walked into the distance and disappeared into the night.

It didn't take long.

Prefect Zhao came downstairs, but everyone could see that his face was gloomy and terrifying. The shopkeeper and waiter were so frightened that they didn't dare to breathe, huddled in the corner, and dared not speak or go forward to greet him.

After the carriage left.

The shopkeeper and the waiter finally breathed a sigh of relief.

When they entered the private room and saw the mess on the floor, they stared with their mouths slightly agape.

"There was a bang just now, right?"

"Yes."

The shopkeeper walked to the table, picked it up, looked at the indented handprint on it, and then looked at the waiter. "This table... it's genuine."

"yes!!!"

……

Security Prefecture.

"What a pity, such a waste of food. I should have known better than to order any dishes." Lin Fan shook his head, somewhat regretful. Upon entering the government office, he saw that all the guard rooms were brightly lit and bustling with people, all busy at work.

He entered a cell where Yang Ming and some constables were talking to a group of people.

"grown ups."

Upon seeing Lin Fan enter, Yang Ming and the constables immediately stood up and bowed.

The crowd of people, like startled rabbits, hurriedly stood up, lowered their heads, and nervously rubbed their hands together, not daring to meet Lin Fan's gaze.

"How did the questioning go?" Lin Fan gestured for everyone to sit down and asked in a calm tone.

Yang Ming said, "We've basically figured it out. Their cases were all handled by the former foreman, Ma Zhen. In order to get them to confess, he tortured them. They only confessed because they couldn't take it anymore."

Lin Fan nodded. "Then everyone knows who the actual culprit is, right?"

“I know, I’ve figured it out very clearly,” Yang Ming said.

Lin Fan looked at the group of people who had been framed, sighed softly, and said in a low voice:
"Fellow villagers, it's alright now. Our police station will re-examine your cases and will definitely give you justice and clear your names. We will never let you suffer these injustices and torments in vain."

"Now that the case is basically clear, you can all go home and get some rest. You may need to come back again to sign some documents after the follow-up procedures are completed."

The people present suddenly looked up, staring blankly at Lin Fan.

They already knew that the original headmen and constables of the Public Security Bureau had been dismissed, and the head constable in front of them was Lin, who had been transferred from Yong'an. It was this head constable who made the decision to go back through all the files, find all the wrongful convictions and miscarriages of justice, and reinvestigate them.

"Sir, can we really go home?" a haggard-looking man with sunken eyes asked in a trembling voice, his voice filled with hope and disbelief.

Lin Fan said confidently, "Of course you can go home. To be honest, the previous police station was really inhuman. They made you suffer so much injustice and torment for nothing. Don't worry, we will definitely not let those people go and will definitely give you justice."

"Tonight, everyone in our police station is working overtime to sort through the case files. Tomorrow, we will issue a formal announcement to declare your innocence. At the same time, once everything is settled, the station will provide you with appropriate compensation based on the circumstances. Although it cannot fully make up for your losses, it is still a token of our appreciation."

Everyone was completely stunned.

I'm already incredibly grateful to have my innocence cleared; thank God!

Should we compensate them?
This was something they had never imagined.

Pfft!Pfft!
Several people were so moved that they knelt down, their voices choked with emotion.

"Thank you, Your Honor! Thank you for clearing our names!"

"We will never forget your kindness, sir."

Lin Fan quickly helped them up and said, "This is a disgrace to our prefecture. How could such a thing happen? I really want to drag them to the execution ground and chop them all up."

"Sir, this has nothing to do with you. Your arrival brings us hope, and we are grateful to you from the bottom of our hearts."

Lin Fan sighed and nodded, then looked at Yang Ming, "Have they finished all the formalities on their end?"

"They've all finished."

"Okay." Lin Fan nodded and looked at them, saying, "Everyone, it's getting late, so let's go back. Don't worry, nothing will happen."

"Oh, thank you, sir, thank you, sir."

The wronged people expressed their gratitude profusely and left the prison cell, looking back every few steps.

Lin Fan escorted them to the entrance of the police station, waved to them, and watched as their figures, supporting each other and walking with faltering steps but full of joy, gradually disappeared into the night.

He couldn't help but sigh:
"Look at this, it's so damn easy for those with power to frame an ordinary person. If no one overturns their case, their lives are over."

Yang Ming said, "But they ran into you, Brother Lin."

Lin Fan gazed at the dark night sky, his tone heavy, "Yes, they encountered me, but what about other places? Let's not talk about far away, just look at the eight counties in one prefecture. Yong'an is fine, but we don't know what the situation is in the other seven counties."

Yang Ming remained silent. He couldn't go home after hearing what Brother Lin had said. It was hard to say what the situation was in the other seven counties, but there was definitely some kind of frame-up.

"Brother Lin, we have the evidence of Ma Zhen's crimes, and he's the one listed in the final case file. Should I take the brothers and arrest him tonight?" Yang Ming asked.

Lin Fan waved his hand and said calmly, "No need to rush. Let him sleep peacefully for one night. Tomorrow morning, bring the brothers and bring him back. In front of everyone, let him understand that thinking he can get away with anything just because he's taken off his uniform is a pipe dream."

Yang Ming seemed to be imagining some scene, and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Tonight, all the constables in the Public Security Bureau were like they'd been injected with chicken blood; they weren't tired at all, and were full of energy. There were a lot of files, but the constables were even more efficient in their work.

……

early morning.

Anju was bathed in sunshine.

"Did you know what? The police station did something big last night." At a breakfast stall, several familiar stall owners huddled together, whispering among themselves.

"What big thing happened? Who were they arrested this time?"

“It’s not about arresting anyone. I’ve told you before, my neighbor was arrested by the police for allegedly raping and killing a girl.”

“I’ve heard that you told us that the man was framed.”

"That's right, you were framed, but it's no use. The police have made their decision, saying you did it, so you did it. But guess what happened?"

"Don't keep me in suspense, how could I possibly guess?"

"Hey, he came back last night. His family was so happy they shouted out loud. I went to ask him, and he said that Chief Lin made all the officers work overtime to find the case files and re-interrogate them one by one. They cleared his name and released him."

"Ah...I see. I think this Chief Lin is a man of action. There are even people who say that Chief Lin is just putting on an act for us. I don't think that's true at all."

I don't think so either.

The people were chatting.

Just then, the people noticed a group of constables appearing. They lined up in an orderly fashion, each one standing tall and full of energy.

For these officers, they had just started their jobs yesterday, and their excitement hadn't subsided yet. They had been working on cases all day, which kept them in high spirits. Even though they hadn't slept all night, they didn't feel tired at all.

So far, they haven't shared their joy of starting the job with their families.

They didn't even have time to meet.

"Officers, what are you doing here?" a commoner asked.

Yang Ming, who was leading the team, said with a smile, "Go and catch them."

"Going to catch them so early in the morning?"

"Yes, there are too many people to arrest. We can't finish them all if we're not in a hurry."

When Yang Ming thought about the list of people he needed to arrest, he felt his head was spinning. There were just too many. Not a single one of the people from the former Public Security Bureau could escape.

Even our Brother Lin had to personally take action.

He originally thought that recruiting 100 people would be enough, but now it seems that it really is not enough.

at the same time.

The notices that Ning Yu was in charge of were also posted throughout the city.

As soon as the announcement was released, it immediately attracted a large crowd of onlookers. When they saw the contents of the announcement, they were all stunned and wide-eyed.

"My God, this...this is a reversal of verdicts announcement! How many cases have been overturned?"

"On June 8th, after re-examination, it was found that Li Si's rape and murder case was a frame-up, and the real culprit is someone else. He is now exonerated..."

"On May 3rd, the case of Niu Da causing death by assault..."

The announcement was densely packed with text, each line representing a case, and each case represented an innocent citizen who had been wrongly accused.

The onlookers grew increasingly angry as they read the content.

"What kind of beast would do something like this?!"

"What a despicable thing! Isn't this just blatantly destroying people? Look at this case, it's from three years ago, and the person has already been sentenced to death. What's the point?"

"You can't say that. That was done by the beasts in the old police station. Now the police station is in charge of Chief Lin. He can overturn the case to restore the reputation of the wronged. Who wants to carry the stigma of a murderer?"

"That's true. Those bailiffs back then were truly despicable; they were worse than animals, like pigs and dogs."

The announcement caused a sensation, like a boulder dropped into water, quickly spreading throughout the city.

A teahouse.

Several former constables who had been dismissed were gathered together, leisurely drinking morning tea and talking badly about Lin Fan. The tea drinkers around them were also angry, but even though they were no longer constables, ordinary people did not dare to provoke them.

After all, their family backgrounds were quite good in Anzhou.

"When do you think we'll be able to return to the prefecture?"

"What's the rush? Didn't the foreman say that we should wait patiently? When the time comes, we'll still be the dignified constables."

They spoke without any restraint.

It was meant for the unruly people around them to hear.

Sudden.

Heavy footsteps echoed from the stairwell.

A group of constables appeared, and Lu Zhongtian, who was in the lead, said sternly: "Bai Yun, Tan Yong, Zhang Fu, you have committed embezzlement and bribery, and framed others. Now come with us to the police station."

"Lu Zhongtian, what are you pretending for? You dare to arrest us?"

"Damn it, you've been following that Lin guy, do you really think you're someone important?"

Faced with their clamor, Lu Zhongtian waved his hand dismissively.

"Take it down and take it away."
