The game of power begins with the police officers at the local police station.

Once all the evidence against Fu Li has been collected, it will be transferred to the procuratorate for prosecution. Fu Li will face legal sanctions.

After finishing the case of Fu Li, five days were wasted, and there was still no clue as to how to arrest Fu Biao.

Within half a month, Fu Biao was caught. Fortunately, he only had to write a self-criticism. If he had been dismissed, he would probably have been the shortest-lived captain in history, being dismissed in less than a month after taking office.

Chen Shi sat in his office, looking up at the ceiling, deep in thought, wondering where Fu Biao might be hiding.

The first possibility is that Fu Biao escaped from Chunyang County and went abroad. In this case, it's unlikely that Fu Biao will ever be caught.

This possibility is very small. As soon as Fu Biao escaped, Wang Tao discovered it and promptly reported it. Zhang Xiangdong then sealed off the county town for investigation.

Fu Biao wouldn't act so quickly unless he was prepared in advance, as the first thing he would do after escaping the hospital is to leave the county town.

Even if you escape the county, it's impossible to escape abroad. There's no airport in Mingzhou. The closest airport to go abroad by plane is Yizhou Airport.

It takes at least three hours to drive from Chunyang County to Yizhou Airport.

Zhang Xiangdong immediately reported to the Public Security Bureau, and subsequently, an arrest warrant was issued.

Fu Biao hadn't even arrived at the airport yet, but there was already an arrest warrant for him there. Even if he did arrive, he wouldn't dare go inside.

The second possibility is that Fu Biao is hiding in the shadows, in some corner of the county town, waiting for an opportunity to emerge under a different identity and continue being a local tyrant.

This possibility is very high. Fu Biao's foundation is in the county town. Once he leaves the county town, he is nothing.

Having gotten used to being a bully, how could I bear to give it all up?

Chen Shi looked at the map of Chunyang County. Where could Fu Biao be hiding?

The phone rang, and Chen Shi picked it up to see that it was Jiang Yiqiu calling.

Answer the phone.

"Jiang Yiqiu, is something the matter?"

"Chen Shi, are you free tonight? I'd like to invite you to dinner to thank you in person for all the help you've given me."

"I've been quite busy lately, so I'll skip the meal. I'm a police officer, this is my job, and I would do the same even for complete strangers."

"I'm not a complete stranger. A beautiful woman invited you to dinner, and you had the heart to refuse?"

"I really have something to do..."

Jiang Yiqiu interrupted Chen Shi: "Captain Chen, you need to balance work and rest. I can't eat or sleep if I don't thank you in person. Just have a meal with me, okay? Please."

Jiang Yiqiu's tone was full of coquetry. Chen Shi didn't expect Jiang Yiqiu to be coquettish. In junior high school, he remembered her as a girl who was unwilling to admit defeat. In order to get rid of the nickname of "perennial second place", she often brought books back and hid under the covers to study with a flashlight. When she was caught by the dormitory aunt, everyone found out that she was studying secretly.

Chen Shi didn't have anything to do that evening, mainly because he didn't want to have dinner with her. Seeing her acting coquettishly, he had a pretty good impression of Jiang Yiqiu.

"Okay, let's have dinner together tonight."

"Thank you, I'll pick you up after get off work."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Shi stood up and walked around. He didn't want to think about it anymore. Going out for a stroll might be a good idea; perhaps a flash of inspiration would help him figure out where Fu Biao was hiding.

While organizing a few documents, before I knew it, it was time to leave work again.

As Chen Shi walked out of the police station, Jiang Yiqiu was waiting at the door. Upon seeing Chen Shi come out, he quickly smiled and waved.

Chen Shi walked over, and Jiang Yiqiu opened the passenger door.

"Captain Chen, please get in the car."

Chen Shi got into the car, and Jiang Yiqiu said with a smile, "After you sit in this passenger seat, even if it's my own brother, I won't let him sit here."

Chen Shi asked, "Why?"

"This is your reserved seat. No one else can sit here except you."

"This is a bit much. I'm just going to sit for a bit, why is it a reserved seat?"

"That's not an exaggeration at all; you're more important to me."

Chen Shi didn't want to continue the conversation, so he changed the subject and talked about Jiang Yiqiu's disgraceful deeds back in junior high school.

"Can we not talk about the past? It's my dark history. You always overshadowed me, and I never surpassed you until graduation. I'm so resentful."

"Seeing you unhappy makes me inexplicably happy."

"Chen Shi, you're still as bad as ever, just like in junior high, you haven't changed at all."

The car stopped in front of a grilled fish restaurant: "This grilled fish is delicious, let me show you around."

"The pickled bamboo shoot chicken last time was quite delicious."

"You like pickled bamboo shoot chicken, let's go over there now."

"Try something different, try the grilled fish. Trust your judgment, it should be good."

Jiang Yiqiu smiled without saying a word. "When will you change your taste and try yourself?"

The two entered the grilled fish restaurant, asked for a private room, and ordered a three-pound fish with some side dishes. The grilled fish were all freshly killed.

Jiang Yiqiu quickly poured tea for Chen Shi and said with a smile, "Chen Shi, would you like some wine? I can have a few drinks with you, but you have to take me home."

"Don't drink and drive, and don't drive after drinking. As law enforcement officers, we cannot knowingly break the law."

"Thumbs up, you're a truly good police officer. But you can take a taxi to send me home."

Chen Shi took a sip of tea but did not reply.

Jiang Yiqiu laughed and said, "What's wrong? You're not happy about sending a beautiful woman back?"

Chen Shi looked at Jiang Yiqiu: "Didn't you say last time that you didn't drink?"

"It depends on who I'm with. I don't drink with most people, but with you, I'd love to have a few drinks."

Chen Shi felt that the atmosphere was a bit ambiguous, even though the wine didn't make him drunk. He had a girlfriend, and he couldn't betray Yan Hong.

Drinking can be a hindrance, especially when a man and a woman are alone together; it can easily lead to things going awry.

"Never mind, I don't like drinking alcohol. Let's have tea instead."

"Whatever you say, I'll drink whatever you want."

Chen Shi didn't believe that Jiang Yiqiu had never been in a relationship. He felt that she was a seasoned pro, while he was just a greenhorn in front of her, knowing exactly how to seduce men.

When the grilled fish arrived, Chen Shi took a bite. It was very fresh and tasted great. He nodded repeatedly, "Not bad."

Jiang Yiqiu took the serving chopsticks and put some fish on Chen Shi's plate.

Eat more

Chen Shi quickly said, "That's enough, give me all of it, what are you going to eat?"

"Watching you eat is a pleasure in itself."

"It's been so many years. When did you learn to flirt with men?"

Jiang Yiqiu's cheeks flushed: "Captain Chen, how can you talk about her like that? She's never even been in a relationship, she's still a virgin, and she's already flirting with men. If word gets out, nobody will want her, and she'll come after you."

Chen Shi noticed the blush on Jiang Yiqiu's face; she didn't seem like someone who had been in love before, and she was still shy.

He chuckled and said, "Don't worry, with a beauty like you, the men who want you could stretch from the county town all the way to Fushan Town."

"I'm not talking to you anymore, you're still so mean."

Chen Shi grinned mischievously and continued eating.

Jiang Yiqiu didn't eat much, but secretly watched Chen Shi eat. Seeing that Chen Shi had finished the whole thing by himself, he thought that was enough, put down his chopsticks, and picked up his teacup.

"Chen Shi, let me raise a glass to you, using tea instead of wine, to thank you for your help. Without you, I really don't know what I would have done."

Chen Shi picked up his teacup, and Jiang Yiqiu respectfully held the teacup with both hands, lowered it very low, and gently touched it with Chen Shi's.

Chen Shi took a sip of tea: "No need for thanks. This is my job, and anyone else would do the same."

"It's different in my heart. You saved my brother's life. When my parents found out, they wanted to come to the Public Security Management Brigade to thank you in person, but I turned them away because I was afraid of disturbing your work."
