Major Crimes Unit Starts with Police Academy Students

Chapter 313 Reporting to Higher Authorities

Everyone knew that their police station had done a great service this time, and they would definitely be rewarded by their superiors.

Wang Shouyi finally felt a sense of triumph. He returned to his office in high spirits and decided to report to the Municipal Bureau.

He picked up the phone in front of him and called Song Cheng, the deputy director of the municipal bureau, who was also his apprentice.

The phone rang only a few times before being answered on the other end.

Song Cheng spoke up,

"Hello, who are you?"

Upon hearing Song Cheng's voice, Wang Shouyi smiled and said...

"Hello, Director Song, this is Wang Shouyi,"

Upon hearing that it was his master, Song Cheng was somewhat puzzled, but said aloud,

"Sir, why did you suddenly decide to call '703'? Is there something wrong at your police station?"

Wang Shouyi then spoke up.

"I do have something urgent to report to you,"

Song Cheng quickly said,

"Master, just tell me, I have a meeting later."

Wang Shouyi stopped with pleasantries and got down to business.

"Don't worry, let me tell you, our station solved a theft case today,"

Hearing Wang Shouyi's words, Song Cheng was slightly surprised and said,

"Master, this is great! Having a new person really makes a difference; efficiency has skyrocketed!"

Wang Shouyi felt somewhat embarrassed when he thought that it was Wu Mingcheng who had stepped in to resolve the matter from the very beginning.

"Director Song, actually, most of this credit belongs to Wu Mingcheng,"

Upon hearing Wu Mingcheng's name, Song Cheng asked in confusion,

"Really? Mingcheng is indeed quite capable, but that's a good thing. What? Are you going to recommend him for credit?"

However, your institute just received a collective second-class merit award recently, so it's not easy to apply for that.

Wang Shouyi spoke again.

"No, listen to me first. It's like this: we've discovered that this theft case is related to Wu Datang, the general manager of the Zhuzhou branch of the Hebei Coal Industry Group."

According to the thieves, they broke into the home of Wu Da's mistress.

We have now recovered the stolen goods: four large bags of red banknotes, two large bags of American banknotes, and one large bag of watches and jewelry.

Hearing the name Wu the Greedy and the fact that such a huge amount of wealth had been recovered,

Deputy Director Song was also shocked; he immediately realized the problem.

He said in surprise,

"What? How could this happen?"

Wang Shouyi also stated with certainty,

"We've basically confirmed it here, and things are going to be difficult for our police station from now on. That's why I specifically wanted to report this to you."

Deputy Director Song considered for a moment, then quickly said,

"Master, how about this, I'll report to Director Ma and discuss what to do. I'll get back to you later."

After saying that, he hung up the phone with a serious expression.

Then, he quickly got up and went to the office of Director Ma Hongbin.

After arriving at Ma Hongbin's office, he knocked lightly on the door, then pushed it open and went inside.

Ma Hongbin was working on documents with his head down when he looked up and saw Deputy Director Song.

He slowly took off his reading glasses and said with a smile.

"Director Song, what's wrong? You made a special trip over here, is something the matter?"

Deputy Director Song frowned and began to speak.

"Commander, I have a rather tricky matter to report to you."

Ma Hongbin looked up at Song Cheng and said, puzzled,

"What's wrong? I haven't heard of any major cases lately."

Song Cheng then spoke.

"Well, here's the thing: the Jiulihe Police Station has cracked a major theft case and arrested several thieves,"

Upon hearing this, Ma Hongbin reacted in exactly the same way as Song Cheng, nodding and saying...

"That's great! Old Wang has been doing a good job lately. These new recruits are really making a difference!"

Song Cheng sighed and said,

"Chief, the key issue is that this theft case has uncovered a rather thorny matter: these thieves broke into Wu Da Tan's house,"

Upon hearing Wu Datang's name, Ma Hongbin immediately began to recall...

"Hey, Wu the Corrupt Official, why does that name sound so familiar?"

Song Cheng explained to him from the side,

"Director, Wu Da-tan is the general manager of the Zhuzhou branch of the Hebei Provincial Coal Industry Group,"

Upon hearing Song Cheng's words, Ma Hongbin immediately remembered...

"Oh, right, I remember now,"

Then he pressed on,

"What did these men steal from Wu Da Tan's house?"

Song Cheng gave a helpless smile and said,

"They stole four large suitcases full of red banknotes, gold bars, watches, and a huge pile of American dollars."

Upon hearing Song Cheng's words, Ma Hongbin's expression instantly changed, and he immediately became serious.

This Wu, the corrupt official, is a public servant, and not a low-ranking one at that; his rank is similar to Ma Hongbin's, around 5.6.

Where did you get so much money? Isn't this obviously a major embezzlement case?

Ma Hongbin sat there for a moment, then asked.

"How far has things progressed on Lao Wang's side?"

Song Cheng answered truthfully.

"The Jiulihe Police Station has arrested everyone, taken their statements, and recovered all the stolen goods."

Upon hearing this, Ma Hongbin immediately understood the Jiulihe Police Station's intention: they clearly wanted to claim a share of the credit for this incident.

He praised her verbally.

"Really? Old Wang's really something! Impressive efficiency in solving cases, getting so many things done in such a short time!"

Song Cheng said with a smile,

"Hahahaha, you might not know this, but I heard from my master that he handed the case over to Mingcheng entirely."

Most of the credit goes to Mingcheng; it was all accomplished under his leadership.

"It was Mingcheng who arrested the man, it was Mingcheng who interrogated him, and it was Mingcheng who found the stolen goods."

Ma Hongbin smiled slightly, and then said,

"This kid's pretty good. He picks up things up quickly and can handle things on his own so soon. It seems Old Wang really believes in his abilities."

Seeing how much Ma Hongbin cared about Wu Mingcheng, Song Cheng also said,

"From what I understand, Mingcheng has done a very good job; his performances have been outstanding on several occasions."

They were awarded a collective second-class merit for their capture of Ding Dayong, and it's said that Mingcheng was instrumental in turning the tide.

In addition, if it weren't for Mingcheng fighting four opponents at once, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

Upon hearing this, Ma Hongbin nodded in satisfaction.

Then, after considering it patiently for a moment, he spoke again.

"How about this, let Lao Wang transfer the case from Jiulihe Police Station to the Economic Crime Investigation Division of the Municipal Public Security Bureau first."

This case involves high-ranking officials in Zhuzhou City, and has exceeded our authority.

I'll communicate with the Zhuzhou Municipal Discipline Inspection Commission again and have the Economic Investigation Detachment forward the results to them. The rest is no longer our concern.”

Upon hearing this, Song Cheng nodded.
