"It's impossible. Why didn't I receive the notice of the emergency meeting? I'm the deputy chief captain."
Jiang Hongbin said with an ugly face.
Old Li shook his head helplessly. "It's not that I didn't receive the notice. It's that I couldn't get through to your phone. The chiefs and deputies of each brigade all went to attend the meeting. I was on duty, so I didn't attend."
"My … my phone ran out of power."
Jiang Hongbin's face changed and he whispered, "What's going on? Why did you suddenly call an emergency meeting?"
"I don't know, but I saw Director Qi's face was very ugly. Even the secretary of the municipal leader came to attend the meeting."
Old Li said softly.
"Then I'll go to the meeting now."
Jiang Hongbin's face changed again and he glanced at Ding Ning with an unfriendly look. "But this may not clear his suspicion. Old Li, you first control him to avoid unnecessary losses."
At this time, a young policeman outside the door poked his head in, glanced at Ding Ning, and quickly said, "Captain Jiang, he is indeed Captain Xiao's friend. I just saw them come together."
"Xiao Fang, are you sure you didn't see it wrong?"
Jiang Hongbin stared at Xiao Fang with gloomy eyes and asked coldly.
After Captain Liu of the Municipal Criminal Police Corps retired due to illness, Jiang Hongbin and the other deputy chief captain, Gao Feng, were both expected to succeed.
Especially Jiang Hongbin, who had a strong background and had done a lot of work, it was almost certain that he would become the chief captain.
But man proposes, God disposes. He never thought that a special police captain would suddenly come to take over the position of the chief captain of the Criminal Police Corps.
Jiang Hongbin, who received the news, was so angry that he almost smashed the office. He called his backstage overnight to ask what was going on, but the result was that Xiao Nuo had a strong background and even his backstage could not afford to offend her.
Jiang Hongbin could only restrain his anger and unite some of his buddies to give the new chief captain a show of strength and take away his power. No matter how powerful his backstage was, it was useless if he had no ability.
But when he saw Xiao Nuo for the first time and learned that she was still single, all the prepared plans were aborted. He wanted to pursue the woman who made him fall in love with her at first sight and make her his wife.
Therefore, even though he knew that Ding Ning was likely to be Xiao Nuo's friend, he still wanted to embarrass Ding Ning and make him retreat. Xiao Nuo was not someone he could think about.
Unfortunately, he forgot that Xiao Fang was a hothead who had just graduated from the police academy. He could not understand the hidden meaning in his words. He stared at Xiao Fang and said with certainty, "How could I be wrong? He came in with Captain Xiao less than ten minutes ago."
"You … hmph! Just because you came in together doesn't mean you're friends. I'm going to a meeting now. Captain Xiao's office isn't a place for random people. Ask this person to wait in the reception room. "
Jiang Hongbin's face was so dark that it could drip water. He glared viciously at Xiao Fang, then flicked his sleeve and left.
"This …"
Old Li's face was as bitter as a chrysanthemum. F * ck, everyone in the Criminal Police Unit knew that Jiang Hongbin liked Captain Xiao, but the problem was that Captain Xiao had never looked him in the eye.
The young man in front of him could sit openly in Captain Xiao's office, and he was about the same age. Who knew what relationship he had with Captain Xiao?
A captain with an unstable foundation, and a deputy captain with a deep-rooted foundation. He was only a deputy captain of the three brigades, and he did not want to get himself involved in this whirlpool of jealousy.
However, Jiang Hongbin had always been arrogant and domineering because of his strong background. Since he had been ordered, he had to do it.
Immediately, he said politely with a bitter face, "Sir, why don't you go to the reception room and wait?"
Ding Ning looked at him with a faint smile. "What if I say no? Are you going to let someone take me there by force? "
"No, I won't. You're not a criminal suspect. How can I treat you like this?"
Old Li waved his hand awkwardly and said with a smile. In his heart, he scolded Jiang Hongbin badly.
"Then please go back. Nuonuo asked me to wait for her here, so I'll wait for her here. That Tom, Dick, or Harry can't order me around."
Ding Ning's tone was gentle, but the meaning in his words was thought-provoking.
Nuonuo? This form of address, it was absolutely someone who had an extremely close relationship with Captain Xiao.
Old Li was a senior criminal policeman with a pair of sharp eyes. Although Ding Ning was dressed like street stall goods, his temperament and demeanor were by no means comparable to ordinary people.
Old Li would not be so stupid to offend a person with an unknown background because of Jiang Hongbin's jealousy.
At the very least, even if he was wrong and Ding Ning was just an ordinary person, he couldn't afford to offend him because of his close relationship with Xiao Nuo. He immediately gave a hollow laugh and said, "Then you continue to wait. I won't bother you."
Seeing Old Li considerately close the door, the office fell into silence again. A smile flashed across the corner of Ding Ning's mouth.
If Jiang Hongbin could discuss it with him kindly, it would not matter if he went to the reception room to wait. After all, Xiao Nuo's office was not so big. She was even embarrassed to smoke. It would be boring for him to stay there.
However, Jiang Hongbin just knocked on the door of Xiao Nuo's office and directly broke in. Jiang Hongbin's way of not treating himself as an outsider made him very uncomfortable. He also thought he was full of hostility to him. He would not do as he wished. Did he really think that the crime squad was owned by his family?
"Knock, knock, knock!"
Someone knocked on the door. Ding Ning hesitated for a moment and shouted, "Please come in!"
Xiao Fang walked in with a cup of coffee and said respectfully, "Mr. Ding, have a cup of coffee."
"Thank you. Do you know me?"
Ding Ning looked at the young criminal policeman with some surprise.
"Yes. In fact, I didn't see you come back with Captain Xiao just now. But I know you and Captain Xiao are good friends. Last time in the Jingpu Branch to arrest Zhu Jian, I went out with Captain Xiao."
Xiao Fang scratched his head in embarrassment.
Ding Ning suddenly realized that no wonder he felt Xiao Fang was a little familiar. It turned out that he had seen him in the Jingpu Branch.
"My name is Ding Ning. What's your name?"
Ding Ning had a good impression of this young man who smiled shyly. He quickly stood up and shook hands with him.
"Hello, Mr. Ding. My name is Fang Xiaomu. I just graduated from the police academy last year."
Xiao Fang's face turned red and he said with some excitement. Last time in the Jingpu Branch, he saw the mayor's secretary and Director Qi stand up for him with his own eyes. It could be seen how deep his background was.
As a simple graduate of the police academy, he had experienced the pollution of society for a year. He also understood that if he wanted to do well in the police station, he must have a strong background.
So today, Fang Xiaomu pretended to be stupid. It seemed that he had offended Jiang Hongbin. It looked very stupid, but in fact, he had made friends with Ding Ning and indirectly improved his relationship with Xiao Nuo. Who could say that he was really stupid?
But it was not necessarily that he was very worldly. After all, he still had hot blood in his heart. His edges had not been completely polished by the cruel society.
Otherwise, he would not have refused Jiang Hongbin's recruitment and been ostracized by his colleagues because he could not bear to see Jiang Hongbin win people over and suppress dissidents.
"Don't be so formal. Sit down and have a chat. Anyway, I'm bored by myself. Who is that Captain Jiang?"
Ding Ning pulled a chair for Fang Xiaomu to sit down without regard. Although with his wisdom, he could completely see that Fang Xiaomu was deliberately trying to make friends with him, he did not feel disgusted.
After all, a young man who wrote his thoughts on his face was not very shrewd. Even if he was bad, he could not be that bad.
He was not like an old fox like Lao Li, who swayed from side to side and did not have a firm stance at all. He could only be a grass on the wall.
"Captain Jiang's name is Jiang Hongbin. He is the deputy chief captain of the Criminal Police Corps …"
Fang Xiaomu said one by one cautiously. Ding Ning then knew that there were 17 brigades under the Municipal Criminal Police Corps, and each brigade had three captains: one chief and two deputy captains.
Fang Xiaomu belonged to the first brigade. Among the captains of the 17 brigades, only the captain of the first brigade, Gu Honglin, had a relatively harmonious relationship with Xiao Nuo.
As for the remaining 16 brigades, five of the captains followed Jiang Hongbin's lead, four were led by Gao Feng, and the other six remained neutral or were watching and did not get involved in the factional struggle.
The criminal police teams of the sub-bureau and the county bureau were under the jurisdiction of the district sub-bureau and the county bureau. They did not have a superior and subordinate relationship with the criminal police team of the Municipal Bureau. They only had a professional guidance relationship.
In this case, Xiao Nuo's predicament could be imagined. Among the 17 brigades, she could only command the first brigade. If she could not make some achievements to set an example in a short time, her title as the chief captain would not live up to her name. She would be completely overthrown by her subordinates and become a decoration.
Fortunately, two days after Xiao Nuo took office, she was directly arranged to be responsible for the security work of the auction house. The conflict had not been completely aroused. Otherwise, her current situation would probably be very bad.
According to Fang Xiaomu, Jiang Hongbin had originally united many people to target Xiao Nuo and wanted to push her away. Later, he did not make a move and fawned on Xiao Nuo every day because he wanted to pursue her.
In this regard, Ding Ning laughed it off. Xiao Nuo was a very capable person. Otherwise, she would not have been able to become the captain of the special police team in just two years. He was not a person in the system. The only thing he could do was to help her solve a few more cases and accumulate merits for her promotion.
As for Jiang Hongbin's pursuit, he did not care about it at all. Although the boy looked like a dog, he was still far from being able to make Xiao Nuo fall in love with him.
He knew Xiao Nuo better. She was a heroine and had a strong desire to worship the strong. Only a young talent like him could make her fall in love with him at first sight.
The more Ding Ning thought about it, the more proud he was. "Brother is really charming. Even such a cold-faced policewoman secretly likes me. Alas, handsome people have a lot of troubles!"
"Mr. Ding, Mr. Ding?"
As Fang Xiaomu spoke, he found that Ding Ning was giggling and almost drooling. He was a little confused and did not come to his senses until he shouted twice.
Ding Ning blushed, coughed twice, and said, "We are friends now. Don't call me Mr. Ding in the future. It's so awkward. You can either call me by my name or Brother Ding. I should be a little older than you."
"I am 21 years old this year."
Fang Xiaomu was delighted. Being able to build a relationship with Ding Ning meant that he was also closer to Captain Xiao. This was a shortcut for him, who was eager to make progress.
"Then you are one year younger than me. Call me Brother Ding in the future. This is my phone number. Let's get together in the future if there is a chance."
Ding Ning exchanged phone numbers with him. He had his own purpose in befriending Fang Xiaomu. After all, Xiao Nuo was so stubborn that it made his heart ache. She would shoulder everything by herself.
He needed Fang Xiaomu to be his eyes and ears. He could exchange information with him in time and understand Xiao Nuo's situation so that he could help her in time.
Baldy Brother Long had met up with the Southeast Asians twice recently. The reason why Ding Ning did not make a move was because they only brought a small amount of drugs as a sample this time to carry out the early stage of cooperation negotiations. Moreover, the boss behind Baldy Brother Long had not shown up yet.
He planned to cast a long line to catch a big fish. When the Southeast Asians brought a lot of drugs to trade, he would catch all the drug dealers in one fell swoop and catch them with the goods.
