Su City Police Departnt.
"Captain Wang, this is the case-closing material for the Lu Kexin murder case.
The suspect Wang Zhiping confessed to the cri, and the testimonies of family mbers and witnesses all confird this, so it’s basically ready to be transferred for prosecution."
"That fast? Ha! This must be the quickest murder case I’ve ever handled."
Wang Zhao Ping laughed as he took the docunts, his already good mood improving even further.
"Hehe! Right? The body cam captured the whole process of the cri, the murderer, the weapon, the cri scene, all in one shot, how could it not be fast!" Qin Xiaoru also chuckled.
Wang Zhao Ping flipped through the docunts, pausing at the suspect’s identity section.
"Manager at Huaxia Life Insurance Branch?"
After thinking for a mont, he couldn’t help but open his drawer, rummaged through it, and pulled out the business card ng Lang had previously given him.
Indeed, it was the sa company!
Looking at their positions, Wang Zhiping might even be ng Lang’s boss?
Could it really be such a coincidence?
But if ng Lang had deliberated created a trap... had office politics beco this intense?
That’s wrong, that’s wrong, Brother ng is a man who acts for the greater good, it doesn’t seem like him to pursue revenge personally.
Hmm! It must be just a coincidence that he was caught in the crossfire!
I was saying that it was too much of a coincidence that night, so it seems Brother ng had preemptively sensed his supervisor’s "murderous intent"?
Tsk tsk! What terrifying insight!
He couldn’t help but feel so sympathy for this Wang Zhiping.
Little did he know that the so-called cri-fighting "Chaoyang People" rank as the world’s fifth-largest intelligence organization? Wasn’t he delivering himself right under their noses...
"What’s wrong? Any problems with the material?"
"Oh! No, nothing." Wang Zhao Ping stuffed the business card back into his drawer.
"By the way, Captain Wang, the Electric Power Bureau ca to report a case today, about the power outage a few nights ago."
"A power outage report? Was it intentionally caused?" Wang Zhao Ping raised an eyebrow.
"Well! Although it’s not certain yet, there does appear to be signs of sabotage inside the substation that caused the failure, they hope we will get involved in the investigation."
"Alright! Later, you take a few people to the scene to collect evidence, and also check the nearby surveillance footage from that day to see if there are any witnesses."
"Okay!" Qin Xiaoru nodded, then smiled.
"Speaking of which, it’s rather a coincidence that this murder case also has so connection with the recent power outage."
"Hmm? What has the murder case to do with the power outage?" Wang Zhao Ping looked up, puzzled.
"According to Wang Zhiping’s confession, if not for the large-scale blackout in the surrounding area that night, he might not have had the boldness to take the risk of committing murder.
He thought his chance had co when the city’s surveillance system went down."
"Ha! That really pieces it together..."
Wang Zhao Ping shook his head in amusent, although he didn’t take it too seriously.
"Elder Wang! Elder Wang! Great news!"
Just then, a middle-aged man in police uniform with a square face rushed in, his face beaming brilliantly.
"The Provincial Cultural Relics Bureau just called, and they confird that the snake head we found is indeed genuine!"
Both Wang Zhao Ping and Qin Xiaoru’s faces lit up with joy.
"Really?" "That’s fantastic!"
"Hehe! Elder Wang, you really made our director look good this ti!"
"Oh please, it’s all thanks to Director Lu’s leadership, we were just running errands." Wang Zhao Ping replied cheerfully.
"Enough of that, no need to butter up. With the previous case of busting the human trafficking den, and now this, a second-class rit for each of you is guaranteed!
Right, and Xiao Qin too, everyone involved gets a share!"
"Thank you, Director!" Qin Xiaoru imdiately bead with joy.
"Elder Wang, I just can’t help but admire you!
You were asked to find a relic, and even though you got it wrong a couple of tis, each mistake still results in a gain, and this ti you’ve actually brought back a national treasure!
Do you have so kind of lucky charm?" Director Lu grinned, his face aglow.
The unveiling of this snake head will definitely cause a sensation in the country, securing a top spot on trending news searches.
Their departnt would get a great chance to shine before the entire nation.
These days, visibility is crucial for achievents!
Perhaps this exposure might even help advance his position, how could he not be thrilled?
"You don’t know, but when Director Sun from Hang City heard that our Su City police team snagged the major credit, he nearly cursed out loud over the phone, hahaha!"
Rembering his old comrade-in-arms’ sour tone on the phone, Director Lu couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
"I’m no lucky charm, really, I’m just running errands." Wang Zhao Ping responded helplessly.
That was completely true.
Others just had to say the word, and he just had to grab it; it was that simple, so simple that he himself could hardly believe it—it wasn’t much harder than doing a chore.
If you talk about being a lucky charm, it’s really the person behind the scenes who is one.
When he decided to help, he hadn’t imagined that the benefits would be so delightful, almost like getting a buy-one-get-one-free deal...
A second-class rit... who knew if there would be a chance to get a few more such rewards?
If one reward had such an effect, gathering a few more might just promote him directly to a higher office.
Hmm! My thoughts are completely based on a sense of responsibility for social security, even if there is a bit of selfishness, it surely is just a little bit.
"Elder Wang..." Director Lu was about to say sothing more when his phone suddenly rang in his pocket.
He picked it up and glanced at it, his expression instantly turning serious, and hurriedly walked to the side to answer the call.
"Hello! Mayor Hu, yes... what? You’re in my office?... Yes, yes! Alright, I’ll bring soone over right away!"
Director Lu ended the call, turned back to Wang Zhao Ping, and gestured.
"Elder Wang, Mayor Hu has specifically asked to see you, co with ."
"What? Mayor Hu?" Wang Zhao Ping was stunned for a mont. "Why does he want to see ?"
This was indeed the second in command of Su City.
"I’m not quite sure, perhaps it’s because of the Beast Head?" Director Lu spoke with uncertainty.
Because of the Beast Head? It wouldn’t warrant the mayor himself to co and honor , would it? Wang Zhao Ping was puzzled.
"Let’s go over there and see," he said.
"Oh! Okay!"
The two arrived at Director Lu’s office, where several people were already seated.
Two n, one woman, and surprisingly, a little boy.
"Mayor Hu, what brings you here? My place is brightened by your presence!" Director Lu said with a smile as he walked in, warmly extending his hand to a middle-aged man on the couch.
The middle-aged man, who looked about forty and had a scholarly appearance, paused his conversation with another man, rose, and shook hands with Director Lu, smiling.
"Director Lu, this must be Captain Wang? Indeed, he is as heroic as you described! Director Lu, you truly have brought an outstanding officer to our Su City!"
Mayor Hu quickly turned his attention to Wang Zhao Ping who had followed Director Lu into the room, showing his admiration.
"Here, let introduce you to this person, Major General Chu Tian from the Eastern War Zone. He has co here today specifically to express his gratitude."
"To express gratitude?" Director Lu and Wang Zhao Ping were both puzzled.
A major general from the Eastern War Zone ca to express his gratitude to them? It seed there wasn’t any connection, right?
Wang Zhao Ping was in the criminal police, not the special police.
Chu Tian was a handso man standing at 1.8 ters tall, dressed in casual clothes, but his well-built physique suggested frequent exercise.
Since seeing Wang Zhao Ping, Major General Chu’s gaze had not shifted elsewhere.
Next to him was an intellectual beauty, holding a little boy in her arms who shyly observed everyone around him.
Major General Chu, along with the woman and the little boy, walked straight to Wang Zhao Ping and, to his astonishnt, bowed deeply to him.
This gesture startled Wang Zhao Ping.
"Eh! Major General Chu, what is this about?"
"Captain Wang, on behalf of my family, I want to thank you. If it weren’t for you, my spouse and I would probably live our lives in guilt and pain."
"This... you’re confusing with your words."
"Didn’t Captain Wang recently crack a child trafficking case? Frankly speaking, my son was one of the children who were rescued!"
Major General Chu pulled the little boy forward.
"Xiao Nan, hurry up and thank your Uncle Wang!"
"Thank you, Uncle Wang!" The boy nad Xiao Nan, although timid, obediently bowed in gratitude.
So that was it. Wang Zhao Ping suddenly understood.
He quickly helped the little boy up.
"Don’t be like this, Major General Chu, this is all part of our duty as police officers, I truly don’t deserve such thanks!"
"It’s all my fault, I took Xiao Nan to the mall and wasn’t careful enough, leading to him getting lost and suffering so much, nearly never coming back.
I was almost breaking down during this ti, but fortunately, Captain Wang, your tily rescue saved us. Otherwise, I really wouldn’t have the face to face my family again,"
spoke Mrs. Chu, her tears starting to fall.
"Captain Wang, I won’t say much else, but this ti you didn’t just save Xiao Nan, you saved our entire family too, and I’ll rember this for the rest of my life.
Here’s my contact information; anything that I, Chu Tian, can help with, even through fire and water, I will not refuse!"
"Uh... well."
Half an hour later, after sending off Chu Tian’s grateful family,
Director Lu, recalling Mayor Hu’s approving gaze, smiled even broader.
"Old Wang, you’ve even connected with the military, I’m really convinced this ti, tell , are you not a man of great fortune?"
Wang Zhao Ping gave a wry smile.
My rit is one thing, but this really feels undeserving!
And the real contributor behind the scenes still doesn’t allow to reveal the truth...
Returning to his desk, the more he thought about it, the more uneasy he felt.
They have helped so much, and it seems I’ve only helped them by rescuing a woman, which was rely my duty.
Their sacrifice and mine are entirely disproportionate!
After much deliberation, he finally sent a ssage to ng Lang.
Archie: [Brother ng, do you have any troubles needing my help recently?]
Shortly after, the other side replied.
ng said: [Uh... the end of the world is coming, can you help save it? Not going to lie, it’s giving a bit of a headache.]
Uh...
That was a cold joke running down Wang Zhao Ping’s forehead.
Archie: [Heh heh! Brother ng, busy with big issues as always.
But I, a re criminal officer, can only help in rescuing won and children. Have you got similar tasks for ?
Don’t worry, it’s free, no eggs needed!]
ng said: [Uh... any help would do?]
Wang Zhao Ping’s eyes brightened, there really was sothing!
Archie: [Of course! Just ask, and even through fire and water, I will not refuse! Our cooperation as police and civilians has no bounds, no forbidden zones, and certainly no limits!
Cough! Of course, it must be legal.]
ng said: [Okay then, I’ve been wanting to get my driver’s license quickly. Does Captain Wang have any connections to help jump the queue?]
Jump... the queue?
Is that it?!
