Chapter 14: The Team Members' Attitudes Are Understood
The play that needed to be performed has been performed, and the attitude that needed to be conveyed has been expressed; there's no need to overturn the table anymore.
The groundwork has been laid, it's time to get down to business.
Shen Lang was able to build his fortune from scratch, so he was naturally very adept at navigating social situations.
If the case can be solved, I will stay on as a police officer and cannot neglect the highest-ranking officer of the McLaren Police Station.
Otherwise, offending your superior and not getting a promotion is a minor matter; being punished by being sent to some remote corner to starve would be a much worse situation.
Respect those who deserve respect, and consult those who require instructions, so as not to be retaliated against.
really
Zhang Defa nodded slightly, quite satisfied with the respectful attitude.
He turned and instructed, "Detective Ling, you must cooperate and hand over every single relevant case file!"
His voice was unwavering, and he seemed to be thinking of trying anything, even if it seemed hopeless.
If this kid actually solves the case, the bad thing that the reporters took photos today will turn into a good thing that they can brag about!
Ling Feng raised an eyebrow and nodded emphatically: "Please rest assured, Chief Inspector, I guarantee not a single item will be missing!"
His angular face was very serious, but when he looked at the young police officer beside him, a hint of gratitude flashed in his eyes.
Several fraud cases occurred in his jurisdiction, so naturally his investigation team was responsible for solving them and making arrests.
However, after conducting interviews and investigations, apart from knowing that the female swindler was tall and beautiful, there were no other clues.
The five people who reported the case came up with five different fake names.
Moreover, this female swindler was very clever; she contacted several victims almost simultaneously, and after swindling money from them, she disappeared completely.
Trying to solve a case with only a few clues is like finding a needle in a haystack.
No wonder they've been investigating for over half a month without finding a single clue.
Seeing the scene unfolding today, Ling Feng had already given up hope and mentally prepared himself to be pushed out by the chief inspector to take the blame.
Who would have thought that after all the twists and turns, a new path would open up, and a Cheng Yaojin would suddenly appear out of nowhere!
No, it should be a naive scapegoat.
After being provoked by the chief inspector, he actually took the initiative to shoulder the responsibility.
He even publicly declared to reporters that he was fully responsible for the case and made a pledge to resign if the case was not solved.
It's like someone just delivered a pillow when you're sleepy; they can't wait to get rid of this hot potato, so why wouldn't they cooperate?
Not only did they not keep a single piece of paper, but they also personally delivered all the case files to them immediately.
Shen Lang strolled along the spacious corridor, admiring the Western-style building.
I had only seen old photos of the McLaren Police Station online before, but when I walked in in person, I found it to be huge and luxurious.
Based on memory, I walked to the innermost office.
The office is very large, at least fifty square meters, with more than a dozen desks!
At this moment, ten police officers of different builds and ages are gathered together, eating sunflower seeds and discussing the exciting events that have just happened.
Because the main gate was blocked, they didn't go out on patrol in the morning; instead, they stayed in the office smoking, drinking tea, and eating sunflower seeds.
One of the officers, a gaunt man in his fifties, didn't participate in the gossip and was leisurely knitting a sweater by the window.
Although this person is also a first-level police officer, he has a job title.
It was Xiao Quangui, the deputy patrol chief of Team 3, who was also the most senior and seasoned veteran.
Lacking any connections, he only managed to become a deputy patrol chief by working hard for over twenty years.
For someone like him, who has no background or connections and no money for bribery, the position of deputy patrol officer is his last chance.
So he was content with his lot and avoided things whenever possible, like a salted fish, and was known as the nice guy in the team.
However, even the kind-hearted person deeply disliked his predecessor.
This clearly shows just how rotten it was, despised by both humans and dogs!
Upon seeing the young man enter through the door, Xiao Quangui hurriedly coughed a few times.
Instantly, the discussion that had been taking place stopped, and everyone stared intently at the protagonist who had stolen the spotlight that day.
However, everyone just watched out of curiosity, and no one stepped forward to speak to them, let alone ask if they needed help.
Instead, they all kept their distance, looking disgusted, afraid of getting involved in the trouble.
They were all silently praying: He'll be fired in 3 days, please don't let this jinx get to you!
Shen Lang also knew that his predecessor did things in an unethical way and was not well-liked by his colleagues.
I bet everyone's secretly waiting to see them fail, and even if they ask for help, they'll find excuses to refuse.
He gave a polite nod and walked straight to his desk.
He lit a cigarette and then carefully reviewed the case files.
The contents of the several case files were largely the same: a woman who called herself Aunt Mei took the initiative to go to the man's house to act as matchmaker.
The chosen partner isn't exactly wealthy, but with some effort and borrowing, they can still scrape together a dowry of one or two hundred yuan and the three gold pieces.
After confirming their intentions through matchmaking, he brought a woman named Zhang Li to meet them the next day.
Although the woman wasn't particularly beautiful, she knew how to dress and quickly won the man's heart.
After that, Aunt Mei negotiated and accepted the betrothal gifts, and then they set a date for the engagement.
What the man didn't expect was that after he sold everything he owned and borrowed money to pay the bride price, Aunt Mei and Zhang Li never appeared again.
Even if you go to find accommodation, it's just a temporary rental.
For an ordinary person to find a woman in the vast city of Shanghai is like finding a needle in a haystack.
Moreover, the two seemed to know that the victims would report the crime to the police station, and that they would no longer be able to continue their scams in their jurisdiction.
Therefore, according to the time recorded in the case file, these victims were all deceived at almost the same time.
Being able to manage five victims simultaneously with ease is a testament to being a top-tier time management master.
Among the victims is a man named Niu Dezhu.
Nowadays, police officers and detectives only know how to make a profit, so they are basically safe once they leave the jurisdiction of the McLan Police Station.
Police officers are just trying to make a living; they wouldn't go through the trouble of investigating cases to uphold justice for ordinary people.
If it weren't for the significant impact of this blockade of the police station's gate, and the involvement of reporters, the final outcome would likely have remained an unsolved case, gathering dust in a warehouse.
As for whether the victims will suffer financial hardship after being swindled out of their hard-earned money... who cares in this concession where people are treated like dirt?
"Phew!"
After reviewing all the files, Shen Lang stretched.
He leaned back in his chair, his feet resting directly on the desk.
After reviewing these files and combining them with the information the system provided last night, I had a basic understanding of the situation.
The reason for not taking immediate action was to deliberately delay the process and make the investigation take longer.
Otherwise, solving the case in just one or two hours would give people the illusion that it was too easy.
Like a warrior slaying a dragon, without going through countless hardships and sacrificing several teammates, you won't even see a hair on the dragon.
Shen Lang rested his head on his hands and leisurely closed his eyes.
The upstairs neighbors were making noise until midnight last night, so he didn't get a good night's sleep. Now he can catch up on some sleep!
Gradually, her breathing became steady.
at the same time
Gu Yichen returned to the Chinese-controlled area and circled two streets to make sure no one was following him before entering a business.
