Cong Zhanjun listened to Ge Hongbing's report on the phone and could imagine the happy expression on his face. He suddenly felt annoyed and shouted into the phone without waiting for him to finish, "Stop talking nonsense. Bring the people back as soon as the interrogation is over. Also, who will pick up the two informants today? Have them release them immediately and apologize to them sincerely!"
Liu Yang stood aside with an expressionless face. He knew that Cong Zhanjun said this for him to hear, but he was unmoved.
Do you really think you can just scold your subordinates, apologize, and then get away with it? Dream on!
Ge Hongbing hung up the phone in confusion, not understanding why his director suddenly got so angry. However, thinking about what he had just said on the phone, he had a guess in his mind that maybe the families of the two informants had gone to the police station.
So Ge Hongbing picked up the phone again and dialed the number of the Criminal Investigation Brigade Office of the Branch Bureau directly.
After careful questioning, he found out that his men, after taking statements from the two girls, locked them in the room and went to the cafeteria to eat.
This was truly a "perfect" implementation of the instructions of the branch director and him, the team leader. The man was locked up without even a word of explanation.
Ge Hongbing clearly remembered that when he assigned tasks to his subordinates, he explicitly said that the interests involved must be made clear to the informants, and they must cooperate. After the interrogation by the enemy spies was finished, he would drive them back.
As a result, the people under his command didn't know whether it was because they felt proud after wearing the uniform or because of their identity as detectives in the branch that they began to become arrogant.
Their attitude towards the people is getting worse and worse, and their working style is becoming more and more simple and crude. When they meet their superiors, they are timid and flattering, but when they meet ordinary people, they are arrogant and domineering.
At this time, Ge Hongbing's face was ashen. When he learned that the two girls' brothers had personally brought guards to the bureau to ask for an explanation, he was really furious and extremely disappointed with those subordinates.
So he started yelling directly into the microphone, asking them to release the person immediately and to keep an eye on the three people who had brought the person back to the police station and the people who were taking the statement. They were not allowed to leave the police station before he returned. After that, he hung up the phone.
After hanging up the phone, Ge Hongbing grabbed his hat on the table and walked quickly outside. He found Jing Xiangyang, the director of the Xidan Security Station, signed the handover documents, and left in a hurry with his men and the two enemy spies with a grim face.
…
"Are you the director of the branch?" Xu Jianguo asked the middle-aged man in front of him.
Cong Zhanjun's heart tightened when he heard Xu Jianguo's emotionless tone. He immediately stood at attention and saluted the major general of the Security Bureau who looked only in his twenties. He said loudly, "Report to the guard, I am the director of the Xicheng District Public Security Bureau. My name is Cong Zhanjun. What happened today..."
Xu Jianguo waved his hand at him, interrupting his explanation and continuing to ask, "Did you order my two sisters to be locked up?"
Upon hearing this, Cong Zhanjun quickly explained, "Captain, listen to me, I did give the order. I did this mainly to prevent any complications. You know, any case involving enemy spies is no small matter..."
"Alright, no need to explain further. Since you gave the order, you must pay the price for your actions!"
"No, no, no, Captain, please listen to me!"
Xu Jianguo looked at Cong Zhanjun's anxious expression, then thought of the way he had saluted him just now. He thought to himself that this man was obviously a veteran with a long service. Finally, he softened his heart and said, "Okay, go ahead!"
"Thank you, Captain! The main responsibility for today's incident lies with me. It was indeed me who gave the order, but when I gave the order, I told my subordinates to explain clearly why they did this. I also specifically instructed my subordinates that after the interrogation of the enemy spies is over, they must send a car to send the informant home safely. At the same time, we will report this matter to the Municipal Bureau afterwards and ask for credit for them!" Cong Zhanjun spoke in a hurry, fearing that Xu Jianguo would lose his patience and not listen to his explanation.
"Have you always done this before?" Xu Jianguo continued to ask.
Cong Zhanjun nodded and said, "Yes, Captain! There have been similar situations before. We released the informant directly after taking his statement. However, because the informant did not implement the confidentiality agreement he signed after returning, he told others about reporting the enemy spy. As a result, our subsequent actions to capture the enemy spy's accomplices failed. In addition, the informant's family was retaliated by the enemy spies, and the whole family, young and old, died tragically at home. So although this matter today is not in compliance with the regulations, we have always done this because of the painful lessons we learned before. The purpose of doing this is not to target anyone, but to successfully complete the task, and at the same time to protect the safety of the informant!"
"In other words, the problem lies with your subordinates?"
"Yes, I've ordered the captain of the Criminal Investigation Brigade in charge of this case to return to the precinct immediately. The police officers involved are still here. When they return, we can confront them on the spot. If this is indeed my fault, then I am willing to take full responsibility!"
"Okay, I believe what you said. Let's wait for him to come back! By the way, my two girls haven't eaten yet. Has your canteen closed for business?" Psychologically speaking, Xu Jianguo was willing to believe what the old soldier in front of him said. After all, he had lived two lives and had the ability to judge whether what a person said was true or false.
In addition, Xu Jianguo opened his omniscient eyes when Cong Zhanjun was speaking and directly read out his thoughts. Knowing that every word he said was true, the little resentment he had towards the director in his heart was almost gone.
If we really want to blame him, it is that he is not strict in his administration, but Xu Jianguo strongly supports his behavior of protecting whistleblowers.
When Cong Zhanjun heard this, he felt relieved. A smile immediately appeared on his face and he said, "Our branch is a special unit. The cafeteria is always occupied. I haven't eaten yet. Why don't we go eat something together?"
Xu Jianguo thought about it, nodded and said, "Okay, it just so happens that I haven't eaten at the Public Security Bureau yet, so I'll try your cooking!"
