Municipal Bureau.

Meeting room.

Led by Deputy Director Chen Guoqiang, several boss-level figures were reviewing the impressive achievements of the previous night, and the only sound in the room was the quiet rustling of pages turning.

Just one night!

More than 60 thieves have been arrested and brought to justice.

This also includes Liu Jun, Liu Pengcheng, and Liu Yuqiang, the ringleaders of thieves entrenched in Hua'an.

The bosses nodded in approval.

"Excellent! The results of this night are equivalent to those of the past few years."

"More than 60 thieves arrested? Not just occasional thieves, but long-term habitual offenders! How many years has it been since Hua'an has fought such a successful operation?"

"Guoqiang, you fought such a brilliant battle without making a sound. I thought your criminal investigation department had been breached, but I didn't expect it was a trap to lure the enemy in."

Several municipal bureau leaders spoke up, and they also remembered several key investigators in the case.

Guan Feng!

Zhao Dong!

Zhao Dong reported, "I was just about to report to the bureau chiefs that after this battle, the theft gangs that had been entrenched in Hua'an have been completely dismantled. Even if there are a few who escaped, they won't be able to cause any trouble. It will be a long period of calm ahead."

Chen Guoqiang asked with a smile, "Where's Xiao Guan? He was the biggest contributor to our operation this time."

Zhao Dong explained, "Last night, the Hongcheng branch arrested the second most criminals after us, more than 20 criminals. Guan Feng and his team interrogated them overnight and are resting now."

Chen Guoqiang nodded, his impression of Guan Feng improving.

Nothing more!

He was the commander-in-chief of this case, fully aware of its development and knowing exactly how Guan Feng turned the tide in the end.

He laughed and said, "Such an outstanding criminal investigation talent, proficient in footprint identification, fluent in foreign languages, and knowledgeable in all sorts of unorthodox skills, is being wasted in the branch office. I think he should be transferred to the Major Crimes Team so that he can better protect the safety of every family."

Zhao Dong laughed and said, "Director, I think so too! But Guan Feng was just transferred back from southern Yunnan, and he's being transferred again in less than a month..."

Chen Guoqiang nodded and said, "I forgot about that! It's easy for a transfer in less than a month to cause controversy, so let's talk about it again in a while."

Zhao Dong nodded and said, "That's what I was planning too. But now that we've caught all these thieves, what about Liu Pengcheng?"

Chen Guoqiang said without changing his expression, "Do it as you say. Also, have the Hongcheng Bureau submit the reward application as soon as possible. To wipe out such a large-scale gang in one fell swoop, Xiao Guan should at least be awarded a third-class merit!"

Since we've decided to transfer the other person up later, we need to pave the way in advance.

Zhao Dong immediately replied, "Understood!"

As the group was talking...

The conference room door was suddenly knocked open.

A propaganda officer walked up to Zhao Dong and whispered a few words to him, causing Zhao Dong to frown.

He immediately asked, "Are you sure?"

The publicity officer nodded and said, "Confirmed! It's already in the top ten of the trending topics list. You can check it out, Captain Zhao."

Zhao Dong frowned, looking at the bosses as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

Chen Guoqiang noticed Zhao Dong's expression and asked, "Is something wrong now?"

Zhao Dong said, "Director Chen, it's a post on the internet that veiled accusations that our criminal investigation team failed to act and let the thief go, resulting in my mother's serious illness not receiving timely medical treatment."

Chen Guoqiang asked, "Is that so?"

Zhao Dong then turned on his computer and connected it to the projector.

A moment later.

It appeared on Weibo's trending topics.

"With police officers like these, how can the peace of the area be maintained?" "Police inaction delayed my mother's medical treatment; I implore society to give me justice!" "The officers should have apprehended the real culprit, but instead they were indulging in debauchery?"

Several consecutive posts have been subtly expressing emotions.

The accompanying photos clearly show Hongcheng Bureau eating at a seafood restaurant.

Chen Guoqiang frowned, staring at a figure in the image, and said, "Isn't that Xiao Guan?"

Zhao Dong zoomed in on the photo and nodded, saying, "Not only Xiao Guan, but also Zheng Yuandong! This is Liu Yumin, a team leader in the Hongcheng Criminal Investigation Team. It looks like a normal dinner party, but the angle of the photo is a bit unusual, and with the seafood in the photos, it's easy to misunderstand."

Chen Guoqiang frowned and said, "Let's find out the situation first."

Zhao Dong nodded and dialed Zheng Yuandong's number.

Ring ring!

The phone rang for a long time before it was answered.

Zheng Yuandong's slightly hoarse and deep voice came through the microphone.

"Team leader, is something the matter?"

"Judging from your tone, you've been busy all night, haven't you? Are you still sleeping?"

"Yeah! I was interrogating a prisoner last night, and I just took a nap."

"Don't sleep yet. Turn on your computer, log into Weibo, and look at the post that was ranked eighth, and has now climbed to seventh."

"OK!"

Zheng Yuandong got up.

A squad leader like Zhao Dong would certainly not speak without reason. He opened the computer on his desk, went to Weibo, and frowned after just one glance.

"Living a life of debauchery? Neglecting their duties? We've been working non-stop for three days and three nights, and these people haven't said a word about it!"

He frowned and called Zhao Dong back to explain the situation.

After understanding the situation, Zhao Dong asked, "Is there a record of this theft case you mentioned?"

Zheng Yuandong immediately said, "Of course! Guan Feng took over this case. He felt that Qin Fang's mental state was not quite right at the time. However, he has been busy lately. First, he went to the casino to lure the other party into the trap. Then, last night, he caught the thief. I didn't expect Qin Fang to turn the tables on him!"

“We are aware of her mother’s condition. It’s just a simple fracture surgery, and delaying it for a day or two won’t cause any major problems.”

Zhao Dong frowned and said, "He's still a troublesome character!"

Zheng Yuandong explained, "Taking this into account, we had already made a record when we signed the letter of understanding. There's absolutely no problem with this case. On the contrary, there's a serious problem with these photos!"

He paused for a moment, then explained, “Team leader, this photo was taken two days ago when our team received a collective second-class merit award. I suggested we go out for dinner, at a proper place like a seafood restaurant. How did that become partying? Yes! We did have a few drinks that day, but it was Friday! The next day was the weekend!”

"Moreover, each group had arranged for staff to be on duty on weekends, so it did not affect the normal handling of the case at all. Guan Feng has not rested at all these past two days."

"If anyone is going to criticize this, I'll be the first to disagree! My brothers won't agree either! It will seriously dampen everyone's enthusiasm!"

His tone was very dissatisfied.

Zhao Dong comforted him, saying, "It's not that exaggerated. We're just trying to understand the situation and pay attention to online public opinion, which is also our responsibility! Okay, don't feel guilty. Collect the relevant materials and send them to the Municipal Bureau. I will personally report to Director Chen and make sure no one is wronged."

"good!"

Zheng Yuandong nodded.
