Zhang Ze City Public Security Bureau.
It's 5 pm, and it's getting dark.
Deputy Director Huo's car drove back to the Public Security Bureau. The guards at the entrance saw him and did not dare to stop him. After letting him in, they immediately called the higher-ups. They had read the papers and knew Deputy Director Huo is here because of this incident. Deputy Chief Huo knew about Dong Xuebing as he was the one who presented Dong Xuebing with his medal and certificate during the Yan Tai County Commendation Ceremony. But Deputy Chief Huo is not sure about the details. Just a few words in the newspaper can't prove anything, and he needs to confirm it personally.
"Director Huo."
"Director Huo."
Public Security Bureau Chief Sun Hai and a few leaders rushed downstairs to welcome Deputy Director Huo.
Deputy Director Huo gave them an angry look. "Chief Dong is being held there? Lead the way! "
Sun Hai knew what was going on and explained as he led the way. "Director Huo, what was reported in the papers is a misunderstanding. Someone is up to no good and tried to stab us in the back. We had brought Dong Xuebing back, but we are not holding him captive. It was chaotic at that time, and we do not know his identity. That's why we brought him back to verify if he is from the Public Security."
Deputy Director Huo asked. "Why didn't you call us to confirm?"
Sun Hai sighed. "It was too chaotic at that time, and more than a dozen people had died. We couldn't do anything."
Deputy Director Huo stopped and looked at Sun Hai. "You still have not confirmed it? Ah? Why are you still not releasing him? "
"It's not that we are not releasing him." Sun Hai replied. "It's that person who is acting shamelessly and refuses to leave. Our men went over to unlock his handcuffs, but they were beaten up by him." Sun Hai looked at his watch helplessly. "We had requested for him to be released a few hours ago, but it's dragging on until now. We have no other choice." Sun Hai was furious about what was reported in Jianghai's papers. He did not expect Yan Tai County to do this. But it's useless to say anything now. He must cover this up, or else, he will not be able to answer to anyone.
Deputy Director Huo frowned. "He is not leaving? Why? "
"Maybe he is unhappy with us taking over this case. Maybe he thinks Yan Tai County should be the one taking over this case." Sun Hai replied.
Deputy Director Huo frowned. "Didn't you all participate in this case? The crime happened in Zhang Ze City? "
Sun Hai spread out his hands. "That's why I said he's being unreasonable. He refused to leave and urged the media to secretly take pictures. He's taking things out of context and harboring malicious intentions!" Anyway, Sun Hai is trying to say that Zhang Ze City Public Security is not responsible for this incident. Deputy Chief Huo shook his head. If what Sun Hai said was true, then Dong Xuebing is being unreasonable.
Deputy Director Huo panted. "How do you explain the handcuffs? Huh? Do you have to treat your comrade like this? "
Sun Hai looks at the skinny officer beside him. "Chief Huo, our comrade had been beaten up by Dong Xuebing several times. Look at this comrade's chin. We have no choice but to cuff him."
Beat someone up? Deputy Director Huo's expression changed slightly.
After learning more about the situation, the person in front stopped.
"Director Huo, we are here," said a leader of the Public Security Bureau.
Sun Hai pointed at the open door of the small dark room. "It's here. The door is always open. He can leave whenever he wants."
Deputy Director Huo's face changed, and he asked everyone to leave. He entered the room alone and closed the door.
Dong Xuebing had been eavesdropping on the commotion outside. A few minutes ago, the door was opened again, and he knew something must have happened. Now, he saw Deputy Director Huo, and he knew the Provincial Leaders must have heard about this incident.
"Director Huo." Dong Xuebing stood up.
Deputy Director Huo stared at Dong Xuebing in his eyes. "Do you still have any discipline? Huh? Beat someone up? Don't be a hooligan? Why are you still refusing to leave? What are you trying to do? I want to know what you are trying to do! " Deputy Director Huo had a good impression of Dong Xuebing, who had made great contributions to the Public Security Bureau.
Dong Xuebing was furious. "Director Huo, what did they say to you?"
Deputy Director Huo replied. "I am asking you what you did!"
"You should be asking them what I did." Dong Xuebing replied with a straight face. "Director Huo, I am a government leader, and I am not trying to show off. I am doing my job for the people, and I have a clear conscience. Do you think I am an unreasonable person? I beat someone up? I am a hooligan? Why didn't they mention anything about them pointing a gun at my head? Why didn't they mention anything about me being handcuffed and locked up here? "
Deputy Director Huo looked at Dong Xuebing. "That means you are still in the right?"
"I don't dare to say I am in the right, but Zhang Ze City Public Security Bureau is not in the right!"
"You all had worked together to solve this case, and the case is closed in Zhang Ze City. You are saying that you all will be transferred to Yan Tai County? Yan Tai County Police will take over this case? "
Dong Xuebing stared at Deputy Director Huo. "I don't know what Chief Sun told you. Cooperation? Since when did we cooperate? "
"Then how did you all solve this case?"
Dong Xuebing took a deep breath and suppressed his anger. "They really did not tell me that I solved this case?"
Deputy Director Huo narrowed his eyes. "You solved this case?"
"Director Huo, I am not asking for credit. I just can't take it lying down. Zhang Ze City Police is also involved in solving this case?" Dong Xuebing laughed. "Then you can ask them who is the one who discovered the criminals? Who is the one who infiltrated the enemy's base? Who is the one who killed those criminals? Who is the one who found those relics? If the Zhang Ze City Police Force had done anything in this case, even if it was just a little, I wouldn't say a word if you removed me from my position! "
Deputy Director Huo knew there must be more to this case and listened quietly.
Dong Xuebing took a deep breath and said. "Last time, I was ordered by Chief Liang to investigate this case. I found some clues, but I am not sure. So, I went to Lui An City's Hai Bing Bath Parlor as an undercover agent. A few days later, I found some clues, and I took the risk to infiltrate the enemy's base. I followed them to Zhang Ze City and discovered the stolen relics. All communication devices are confiscated, and I can't contact anyone outside. That's why I decided to work alone."
Deputy Director Huo asked. "You are alone?"
"At that time, a female officer from Lui An City was captured."
"What happened after that?"
"I was looking for the right time to get my hands on the relics, but at that moment, the Zhang Ze City Police came. They didn't find the criminals, but they were just passing by for another case. There were only two of them, and the criminals were very nervous. They immediately opened fire and captured the two of them. I was worried about their safety, and I couldn't care less about the timing. Just as the criminals were about to kill a few police officers, I made a move and killed the two criminals in the basement. Then, I went upstairs alone and killed more than ten criminals, caught the leader, and found the relics."
Deputy Director Huo was stunned. "You killed all those criminals by yourself?"
Dong Xuebing replied. "You can go and investigate. I am not lying."
"What about Zhang Ze City Police?"
"Them?" Dong Xuebing laughed. "From the moment we opened fire until all the criminals were lying on the ground, Zhang Ze City Police did not appear. One of the two officers was injured. That officer is Xu, and the other is a newbie, Xiao Wang. They were hiding behind the wall and did not come out. Sister Hou from Lui An City had covered for me."
Deputy Director Huo kept quiet.
Dong Xuebing looked at him. "If you don't believe me, you can investigate. Zhang Ze City Police should be thankful that they did not help. After I arrested Mr. Wu and found the relics, they came over and took over the case. Many people saw what happened, and I do not want to take all the credit for myself. I told you all that you all can bring Mr. Wu back, but I must send the relics to the Provincial Government. Chief Sun didn't care about me at all. I took a step back and asked them to follow me to the province. What do you think happened? Chief Sun panicked and is afraid I will take all the credit. He ordered his men to arrest me and even pointed a gun at my head! "
Dong Xuebing got agitated and pointed to his head. "During the few days I was undercover, I was almost exposed by the criminals several times and almost lost my life. I had risked my life to solve this case and even saved two officers from Zhang Ze City. But in the end, I ended up like this? That's a damn gun! They had pointed a gun at my head! They even handcuffed me in the car! They said they did not want to confirm my identity! But why didn't they call Yan Tai County to confirm? Why did they lock me up?! Why did they only release me after the case is over?! "
Deputy Director Huo paused for a few seconds. "Go out and get something to eat first."
Dong Xuebing does not dare to disobey a Provincial Leader. He nodded. "Director Huo, I don't care about this credit. Even if Zhang Ze City Police had contributed a little, I will not say anything. But they did not do anything and even kicked me aside. They want to take over this case themselves. How can they do things like this?"
Deputy Director Huo opened the door and walked out with Dong Xuebing.
Sun Hai looks at Dong Xuebing coldly.
Deputy Director Huo looks at them. "Release the cuffs and let Xiao Dong have something to eat first!" He said and called out a few names. "Call them over! I have questions for them! "
An office.
Xiao Wang stood there trembling with fear, extremely nervous.
Deputy Director Huo looked at him. "Who discovered the stolen relics are in the hands of the criminals?"
"It's … Chief Dong."
"Who rescued you all after you were arrested?"
"… it's Chief Dong."
"Did the Zhang Ze City Police arrive at the crime scene?"
"No."
"Who killed the criminals?"
Xiao Wang gritted his teeth. "Chief Dong is the one who killed them."
Deputy Director Huo's face changed. "Go out and call the next person in!"
Xiao Wang walked out, and Brother Yu entered the office.
Deputy Director Huo looked at Dong Xuebing and said coldly. "What did Chief Sun say when he introduced you to me?! Repeat what he said to me! "
Brother Yu's brows twitched and did not say a word.
"Are your injuries from exchanging gunfire with the criminals?"
"… yes." Brother Yu replied.
Deputy Director Huo banged the table. "Stop playing word games with me! You were injured before you were captured by the criminals! Am I right? What were you doing when Chief Dong was exchanging gunfire with the criminals?! Are you the one who killed the criminals with Chief Dong?! "
Brother Yu replied. "I was injured at that time, so …"
"Since the death of the criminal has nothing to do with you, then what do you mean by your previous solemn vow? Ah?! Are you trying to mislead us?! Are you trying to make us think you had contributed a lot?! Do you know what you are doing?! You are lying! You are lying! "
"Director Huo, no … I …"
Deputy Director Huo is furious. "I am asking you again. Who saved your life?!"
Brother Yu replied. "Dong Xuebing."
"Fine … Fine." Deputy Director Huo laughed. "What were you doing when Chief Dong was captured by your men?"
"I had no choice. The Bureau cannot verify Chief Dong's identity."
"Bullshit!" Deputy Director Huo stood up. "Xiao Dong risked his life to infiltrate the enemy's base and saved all of you at the cost of exposing his identity. If he is not from the Public Security, how can he be a criminal?! Do you all have any brains?! Xiao Dong had saved your life, and you did not even say anything to verify his identity. You don't even know how to be a police officer! Why are you still a police officer?! Ah?! "
Deputy Director Huo turned his head and said to his entourage. "Write down his name."
Brother Yu's face turned pale, and his legs turned to jelly.
At this time, someone from the Provincial Bureau walked in and whispered something into Deputy Director Huo's ears. Deputy Director Huo heard it and said. "Let her in."
This time, it was Hou Qing.
Deputy Director Huo asked. "You are also involved in this case?"
Hou Qing replied seriously. "I had participated in this case, but you can also say I did not participate in it. A few hours after I arrived at Hai Bing Bath Parlor, I was captured, and Chief Dong rescued me. Director Huo, I know I should not say this, but Zhang Ze City Police are too much. Chief Dong had done a lot for this case, but after the case was solved, the Zhang Ze City Police pointed four to five guns at Chief Dong's head and forced him into the car. I had seen this with my own eyes."
Deputy Director Huo asked. "Did you see Chief Dong beating up someone?"
Hou Qing nodded. "Yes. But it was Chief Sun who gave the order to arrest Chief Dong, and he was injured during the argument. I admit Chief Dong is too impulsive, but I believe no one can remain calm in that situation. Chief Dong also did not make any unreasonable demands. He had been following the case from the start, and now he wants to send the relics to the Provincial Bureau. Is this too much? I don't understand why the Zhang Ze City Police reacted so violently when they heard Chief Dong wants to hand over the relics to the Provincial Bureau. They even used guns and knives on him. Is this the treatment a hero should receive? They are robbers! This is what robbers do! "
Deputy Director Huo asked a few people, and all the answers were the same.
Deputy Director Huo did not ask any more questions and called Sun Hai in.
"Director Huo, it's like this. We …" Sun Hai quickly explained.
Deputy Director Huo didn't even listen to him and started scolding him. "Your Zhang Ze City Police Force is really something! You all lied to the Provincial Bureau about the case?! You all even arrested your own comrades?! You all are too daring! When the criminals are hiding in Zhang Ze City, what are you all doing?! When more than a dozen guns are transported to Zhang Ze City, what are you all doing?! When the criminals and Xiao Dong are fighting, what are you all doing?! You all can't even arrest the criminals, but you all arrested your own comrades so fast! You all are good! Amazing! You all are so cool! "
Sun Hai replied. "Director Huo, what happened earlier …"
Deputy Director Huo interrupted him. "You can speak to the Chief!" Deputy Chief Huo's rank and position are not high enough to suppress Sun Hai. That's why he can't be bothered to say anything. Zhang Ze City Public Security Bureau and Sun Hai were too greedy and wanted to take all the credit. That's why Dong Xuebing was arrested and exposed by the media. Deputy Chief Huo felt this was a disgrace. It's not because Sun Hai wanted to take all the credit. It's because Sun Hai dares to arrest the person who solved the case!
Deputy Director Huo immediately reported the results of the investigation to the Bureau.
Sun Hai could hear the angry shouts on the other end of the phone.
Sun Hai's face changed and regretted his actions. He did not expect things to turn out this way. Is the Bureau going to pursue this matter? From the start, Sun Hai did not care about Yan Tai County and a County Public Security Deputy Bureau Chief. He felt this is not a big deal. Even if I had snatched your credit, what can you do? Even if the Provincial Government knows about this, nothing will happen. But this time, it's different. Sun Hai did not expect Yan Tai County to use the media to expose this to the public. Now, Zhang Ze City is in a disadvantageous position.
Dong Xuebing! Dong Xuebing!
Sun Hai clenched his fists. He was furious!
… …
Dong Xuebing and many others were waiting for the development of this matter. To their surprise, the results of the investigation are out soon!
That night, Brother Yu and the skinny officer were suspended from their duties and might be punished further. The next day, a warning from the Party appeared on Sun Hai's desk. The swift and decisive measures taken by the provincial government had shocked many people. With this incident, it would be a heavy blow to Sun Hai's career. In the evening papers, the Provincial Government did not say anything about this incident. But Yan Tai County Public Security will be the one who solved the case.
A few days later, Dong Xuebing arrived at Hebei Province and was awarded a First-class Merit Award!
After this incident, everything calmed down!
