Major Crimes Unit Starts with Police Academy Students

"Mingcheng, you're amazing! You're such a good gambler! I feel like you're even better than the God of Gamblers in the movies. You won so much in one night!"

Wu Mingcheng smiled slightly.

"What are you thinking? What's the use of winning more money? We can't touch it anyway,"

Li Dawei thought about it again and realized it was true; this money was public funds, and if they spent it, it would cause a huge problem.

Wu Mingcheng didn't rush back immediately; he was afraid of being followed.

He was very cautious at this point, circling the area several times to make sure no one was following him before returning to the police station.

Before returning to the police station, they even found a place to change their clothes back.

After all, there are many people coming and going in the police station, and if someone sees the two of them, wouldn't the plan be ruined?

When the two of them returned to the police station, the staff weren't surprised to see them so late. They greeted Wu Mingcheng and then continued chatting.

It happened to be Xia Jie's shift tonight. Upon seeing Xia Jie, Li Dawei went up to her and said...

"Xiao Jie, are you on duty tonight?"

Xia Jie, who was on duty, saw the two of them and then said,

"Mingcheng, Dawei, you're back. The director specifically instructed you to go to his office upon your return."

Chapter 421 Return from the Investigation

Upon hearing Xia Jie's words, Wu Mingcheng realized that the director had anticipated their return and was deliberately waiting for them.

So he nodded and said,

"Okay, then we'll go upstairs first and report to the director. We'll talk again when we come down."

Xia Jie said,

"Okay, you guys go up quickly,"

So Wu Mingcheng and his companion left the office area and headed towards Wang Shouyi's office on the second floor.

Li Dawei then asked with concern,

"Mingcheng, what should we say if the director asks?"

Wu Mingcheng glanced at him, then smiled.

"Just tell the truth, what else do you want to say? You're not trying to pocket this money, are you?"

Dawei, I must remind you, embezzling public funds is a serious crime.

Li Dawei said irritably.

"Get lost! Do you think I have that kind of guts? What are you talking about? I mean, you've already taken the gamble, aren't you afraid of what might happen..."

Upon hearing this, Wu Mingcheng realized that the man was thinking of him, fearing that the director would punish him.

Then, Li Dawei spoke again,

"Don't worry, if the director disciplines you, I'll just say I gambled too, and we'll both take the blame."

Wu Mingcheng smiled slightly and said nonchalantly,

"Don't worry, it's nothing serious. It's all for the mission. The director will understand."

So the two men carried a bag of money to Wang Shouyi's office.

Seeing that the two men had returned unharmed, Wang Shouyi finally stopped worrying.

After sitting down in the office, Wu Mingcheng recounted in detail the findings he had made while investigating the underground casino.

After hearing this, Wang Shouyi couldn't help but blame himself.

"I never expected that there would be such a large-scale casino right under our noses."

This is truly my dereliction of duty. If you few hadn't overheard it by chance, the consequences could have been dire."

Hearing Wang Shouyi's words of remorse, Wu Mingcheng comforted him.

"Chief, it's not entirely our institute's fault. The main problem is that these people are really cunning."

The casino is riddled with surveillance cameras, even the ground-level entrance has one.

Moreover, since everyone coming and going was a familiar face, it was naturally difficult for the police station to detect anything.

Seeing this, Li Dawei also spoke up.

"Yes, Chief, you have no idea how much trouble it took Mingcheng and me to get into the casino,"

Wang Shouyi waved his hand.

"Alright, you two don't need to try to persuade me anymore. None of this is an excuse. In the end, it's just that we weren't careful enough."

"We failed in our duties; we were completely unaware that such a malignant tumor existed within our jurisdiction."

After Wang Shouyi said that, the two of them couldn't say anything more.

Seeing this, Wu Mingcheng quickly gave Li Dawei a look, signaling him to change the subject.

Li Dawei understood, placed the bag beside him on the table, and then opened it.

"Chief, look what we brought back?"

Wang Shouyi looked over and saw that the room was full of red banknotes. He immediately looked at Wu Mingcheng with a suspicious gaze.

He said in surprise,

"Mingcheng, you only approved 100,000 yuan when you left, there must be more than that."

How did you manage to bring back so much money? You didn't break any rules, did you, kid?"

Wu Mingcheng responded with a smile.

"Chief, how could that be? I know what I'm doing, this money..."

Before Wu Mingcheng could finish speaking, Li Dawei interrupted him.

"Mingcheng, let me handle this matter."

Just as Li Dawei was gathering his emotions, Wang Shouyi interrupted him.

"Stop playing tricks and just tell me,"

Then, Li Dawei had no choice but to speak.

"Chief, you wouldn't believe it, after we entered the casino, we walked around the lobby..."

· ·······Request flowers····· ······

After briefly surveying the hall, he sat down at the dice table.

This is where the story begins. Mingcheng starts with three sixes (three of a kind), instantly pocketing 25,000 yuan.

……… ...

After listening to the whole story, Wang Shouyi smiled and looked at Wu Mingcheng.

"I didn't expect you to have these skills. Looks like you won't starve even if you don't become a cop."

Wu Mingcheng said helplessly.

"Chief, what you're saying is illegal gambling in mainland China, so I can't just stay in Macau forever,"

........ . .......

Wang Shouyi smiled.

"Alright, you've done a good job. This money has been confiscated, and now the institute's funds are much more plentiful."

At this moment, Wu Mingcheng suddenly thought of something and said again,

"By the way, Director, there's another matter I need to report to you."

Here's the thing: when we were leaving, the person who greeted us at the casino told us that they were going to host a gambling event two nights later, and it was going to be quite large.

One of my ideas is that we should act on that day. The two of us can go in first and coordinate an attack from the inside.

Of course, this is just a preliminary idea; the specifics will be up to you to decide.”

After hearing Wu Mingcheng's words, Wang Shouyi did not rush to give a reply.

"I'll think about this some more. Making arrangements too early could easily lead to leaks."

You two have worked hard today, go home and rest now.

So Wu Mingcheng and Li Dawei got up and left Wang Shouyi's office.

Wu Mingcheng returned to the office area and approached Xia Jie, who was busy at her desk. He asked softly,

"Xiaojie, we're about to leave work. Are you hungry? I'll go out and buy you some late-night snacks," she said, turning to leave.

Chapter 422 On the Eve of the Operation

Hearing Wu Mingcheng's words, Xia Jie glanced around shyly. Seeing that only Li Dawei was there and no one else had heard, she felt relieved.

She shook her head and said,

"No need, I've already had dinner at the station. You and Dawei just got back from a mission, you should go back and rest."

Wu Mingcheng nodded.
