Captain Zhou said, "Director, you can't be so skeptical. Some things are really weird!"
"Oh, right, Chief Zhao is still waiting for you here. Would you like to see him?"
Director Wang sneered, "He's waiting for me, so I'm going to see him? Humph! I'm here to sleep, let him wait!"
"Don't let his high rank fool you; he has no jurisdiction over me. Our Investigation Bureau isn't under their control!"
Captain Zhou said with a smile, "You're absolutely right. Not only is the Investigation Bureau not under their jurisdiction, but we are not under their jurisdiction either. He can't use his official position to suppress us!"
If we solve Mu Cangnan's big case, our team and your investigation bureau will have made a great contribution!
We were assigned to investigate the leak of classified information a long time ago, and we've finally made some progress. This case must be solved as soon as possible.
If we don't solve this case soon, not only will our skills be questioned, but our superiors will also blame us!
Director Wang nodded and said, "That's right. Because of the leak of classified information, my superiors have talked to me a lot. This case has been under investigation for more than half a year. We need to close the net as soon as possible and give the higher-ups an explanation!"
I'm going to sleep in the duty room. Don't tell that old man I'm back!
Captain Zhou said, "Don't worry, do you think I'm that blind? You go to sleep, I'll keep an eye on him, and I'll protect you if anything happens!"
Director Wang was extremely satisfied with Captain Zhou. Although their two departments were not subordinate to each other, they were considered brother units and would cooperate whenever there was a case.
He will remember Captain Zhou's help, and he will help Captain Zhou in the future if Captain Zhou needs anything!
Director Wang got up and walked towards the office door, his eyes glancing at the room's window out of the corner of his eye.
Because it was an office, there were no curtains in the room. In addition, he returned quietly and did not turn on the room light so that Chief Zhao would not notice that the office light was on and know that he had returned.
The room was very dark at the time, but the streetlights outside could faintly illuminate the second floor.
To his surprise, he saw a cat crouching on the windowsill outside the window!
He asked in confusion, "Why is there a cat over there?"
When Captain Zhou saw the cat, his lips twitched violently. "After Captain Li was struck by lightning, I heard him say that he saw a cat on the windowsill... Could it be that we're going to be struck by lightning too...?"
His voice trembled uncontrollably.
Director Wang said, "You, who grew up under the red flag, actually said such superstitious things. Your ideological awareness needs to be improved!"
Captain Zhou quickly said, "You're right, my thinking is flawed. But after Section Chief Li was struck by lightning, he really did say he saw a cat on the windowsill laughing at them! He even said the cat was mocking him!"
Director Wang said, "Nonsense! How can a cat laugh at a person? I just think this cat..."
He suddenly stopped talking. Why did he feel that the cat was smiling when he looked at it?
This is not scientific!
How can a cat laugh?
The key point is that he actually felt the cat was mocking him!
He shook his head and said, "Get that cat out of here!"
Captain Zhou's lips twitched violently. He was too afraid of the cat to dare to go up and shoo it away.
His eyes darted around, and he quickly said, "Director Wang, you go to sleep first. Leave this cat to me. I promise I'll chase it far away!"
Director Wang said, "Handle this matter properly, and I don't want to see this cat again in the Investigation Bureau!"
He turned and walked out of the office. The sight of the cat sent a chill down his spine. He felt a creepy unease and knew it was best to avoid it if possible.
Although he's not superstitious, who can say for sure about these things...?
Captain Zhou watched as Director Wang left, then pursed his lips. This job was now his!
Ha! He doesn't have the habit of getting himself into trouble!
He waved at the cat and made a slapping gesture, but the cat sitting outside looked at him as if he were invisible!
He thought for a moment, then turned and ran out of the office.
If the cat won't leave, fine, he won't dare mess with it anyway!
Mibao, sitting on the windowsill, rolled her eyes.
Its voice echoed back into the space, "Damn! Is that all the guts they have? If I hadn't run out of power, I would have given them another lightning bolt, charred on the outside and tender on the inside!"
Li Xiyue said, "Judging from their conversation just now, the higher-ups are taking the leak of classified documents very seriously and have ordered them to solve the case as soon as possible, but the case has dragged on for half a year without being solved!"
Mi Bao said, "A bunch of useless people can't solve the case. What can they do? They're scared like this just because they saw a cat!"
Li Xiyue said thoughtfully, "That's why Mu Cangnan's case was hastily closed in the past life, and he was sentenced to death!"
The reason is the same as now: they are eager to close the case and give their superiors an explanation.
Therefore, whenever there was any suspicious person, they would immediately fabricate evidence, create a criminal case, and hand it over to their superiors to complete their mission!
Mi Bao said, "A bunch of good-for-nothings! In order to complete their missions and gain merit for themselves, they don't care whether others are innocent or not. They directly frame innocent people and let the real spies go free!"
Li Xiyue said, "This time it won't happen. With me here, let's see who dares to wrong Mu Cangnan!"
Honey asked, "What do we do now?"
Li Xiyue said, "My X-ray vision shows that Mu Cangnan is sleeping in the interrogation room, and Chief Zhao has been waiting for Director Wang in his office. Go tell Chief Zhao that Director Wang has arrived!"
Mibao tilted her head and asked, "If I go and tell Director Wang, will it scare him? Animals can't become spirits after the founding of the People's Republic of China!"
Li Xiyue said, "Just don't let him see you. You can just call out from outside the door!"
Mi Bao giggled, "Great! I love this. Let's see how Director Wang can hide now!"
It leaped off the second-floor window and dashed through the main entrance of the small building to Chief Zhao's office.
It called out through the door, "Director Wang is here! He's in the duty room on the first floor!"
After she finished shouting, she ran away quickly on her four little legs.
Chief Zhao and his orderly in the office heard everything clearly.
The orderly hurriedly opened the door and went out to see who had told them the news.
To his surprise, the corridor was completely silent and there wasn't a single person in sight!
He turned back to Chief Zhao in confusion and asked, "Chief, did I hear that right? I just heard someone shout that Director Wang is here, in the duty room on the first floor!"
Chief Zhao said, "You heard me right, I heard it too! Ha, he's hiding in the duty room and won't see me."
Fortunately, a conscientious comrade tipped me off. "Let's go! Let's go find him!"
The orderly replied, "Yes, sir! I'll clear the way for you!"
He walked in front, running downstairs and heading straight for the duty room on the first floor.
