Chapter 173 Mother's Place of Origin? (Slight Origin, 45)
"Let these three go, Old An."
An Guodong was so anxious that he scratched his head and said, "Chief Wang, these three people were just arrested. They smashed up the house to pieces."
Wang Biao unscrewed the thermos in his hand and loudly slurped up two mouthfuls of hot water.
Then, with a "pfft," he spat out a goji berry.
He had just come out of Mu Sheng's interrogation room and was currently communicating with Bai Ting's master, An Guodong.
"I know they were just trying to collect their debts from the wrong place; it was all a misunderstanding."
"They told me they were willing to compensate the victims for their losses and would also provide some financial compensation."
"Just release them, tell the victim, and mediate."
An Guodong felt it was inappropriate, but he didn't dare to directly reject Wang Biao's method of closing the case.
"Director Wang, this is not appropriate. The victim hasn't even arrived yet. Releasing the suspect directly is against the rules."
The speaker was Bai Ting, and An Guodong tried to pull his arm but couldn't stop him from talking.
Upon hearing Bai Ting's words, Wang Biao's eyes darkened, and he sized Bai Ting up from head to toe.
Then he chuckled and said, "Hehe, you young man are indeed worthy of being taught by your master, you don't know how to be flexible at all."
"That's how civil cases are: turn big issues into small ones, and small issues into nothing, and that's it."
"Is the police station very quiet? They have to investigate every single case thoroughly. Are the police officers like village chiefs? They have to dissect every little detail?"
Bai Ting disagreed; he had known since childhood that if there was a problem, he should go to the police.
Now he's a policeman, the people need him, and he won't just do things half-heartedly!
Moreover, this is not a trivial matter concerning family matters.
"Director Wang, we eat the people's food and manage the people's affairs. Even if it's just a family matter, we shouldn't sit idly by."
"Moreover, this is no small matter; the three of them could very well be..."
Wang Biao's smile vanished, replaced by impatience in his eyes.
"Alright, I said I'd let them go."
“I don’t need a young kid like you to teach me. When I was a policeman, you were still peeing and playing in the mud.”
"Hurry up, Lao An, take your apprentice away and get back to what you're doing."
Bai Ting was pulled away by An Guodong, and the words he was about to say were covered by An Guodong's hand.
The master and apprentice pulled and tugged at each other as they walked to the door.
Bai Ting pulled An Guodong's hand away from his mouth.
"Master! These three people could very well be enemy spies. Should we really let them go?"
"Leaving aside whether this is a first-class merit, stealing state secrets is a serious matter."
An Guodong avoided Bai Ting's gaze and waved his hand.
"Stop being stubborn. What can we do about the orders given by the deputy?"
"Even if they really let the enemy agent go... then... then isn't that his problem? If the sky falls, someone taller will hold it up. Why are you so anxious?"
Bai Ting looked incredulous: "Master, how can you say that? That's not how you taught me."
An Guodong avoided eye contact with Bai Ting.
"Hey, you, just drag it out as long as you can. You know what kind of person the deputy director is. Don't go against him, or he'll make things difficult for you."
Bai Ting was angry at his lack of resistance.
An Guodong was originally the most qualified person to be promoted to deputy director, but Wang Biao used underhanded means to get the position.
If he were truly a good policeman who served the country and its people, that would be one thing, but instead he turned out to be a corrupt old official who engaged in speculation and profiteering.
But there's no use saying anything more now; we can only try to buy more time.
I pray the city police arrive soon.
......
Xing Zhiyuan hung up the phone and rushed to the Xiujing District Police Station.
After he parked his car in the police station yard, Mu Sheng and the other two were swaggering out.
Bai Ting, who was following behind, looked constipated.
He has done his best to delay, but so much time has passed, not only has no one come, but the municipal bureau hasn't even made a phone call.
Xing Zhiyuan strode forward: "Comrade, where are the three criminal suspects we arrested at Jiangtianyise today being held?"
Bai Ting was immersed in the sadness of his impending departure after receiving a first-class merit award, and had no time to pay attention to this 'person asking for directions'.
"I don't know, go in and ask."
After saying that, he continued to dejectedly lead the three people out.
Unexpectedly, Mu Sheng lost her temper: "Can't you speak properly? I've already been acquitted. What do you mean by 'criminal suspect'?"
The two people behind her, hearing their mother's strong stance, also chimed in with their own shouts.
"Yeah, do you believe we'll file a complaint against you? Don't just label people like that."
Xing Zhiyuan frowned as he looked at the three of them, then scrutinized Bai Ting, who was staring in disbelief.
"Comrade? Who are these three? I am Xing Zhiyuan, the captain of the Criminal Investigation Team of the Municipal Public Security Bureau."
Bai Ting's thoughts finally returned, and his gaze focused on Xing Zhiyuan's 'savior' face.
"The Municipal Bureau? Captain Xing!!! You've finally arrived! These three are the enemy... criminal suspects. Take them away quickly, or I'll have to listen to our deputy director and release them directly!"
The First-Class Merit Award is back! Bai Ting is truly going to become a hero!
Xing Zhiyuan didn't let the implication in his words go unaddressed. He raised an eyebrow: "He told you to release them?"
Bai Ting nodded vigorously: "Yes, yes, yes! They're still inside giving instructions. Captain Xing, come in with me quickly."
After saying that, he grabbed Mu Sheng's arm and pulled her inside!
Bai Ting's inner monologue: Nobody can get rid of my first-class merit!
......
"Why is the efficiency so low? Do I have to say the same thing several times?"
"Old An, you're a veteran police officer, how come your apprentice is so unkempt? He doesn't even take the tasks I assign seriously?"
"Is it because he's difficult to discipline, or is this how you teach him?"
Wang Biao's roar came from inside the hall, and Bai Ting quickly quickened his pace.
Liu Zhenghua and Zhang Qiang pretended to be dead on the spot.
Xing Zhiyuan looked at the two of them with a half-smile: "What? Do you two also need me to find someone to carry you in?"
The two quickly waved their hands: "No, no, no need, we'll walk by ourselves."
Then they eagerly followed Bai Ting and Mu Sheng inside.
What exactly did those two do just now? They ended up beating up the city police's criminal investigation team captain along with Mu Sheng...
They dared not utter a sound now. They should have covered Mu Sheng's mouth and quietly slipped out the door.
Well, that's it, they just went out and came back in.
Inside the hall, Wang Biao showed no mercy to An Guodong, launching into a tirade of abuse in front of everyone.
Even Xing Zhiyuan and the others didn't notice when they walked in.
"The matter has been resolved. I said I'd release them, and I meant it!"
"Slurp~" Perhaps his throat was dry from cursing, Wang Biao picked up his thermos and slurped up a mouthful of hot water.
Perhaps still not satisfied with his cursing, he thought for a moment and then pointed at An Guodong's nose and shouted, "Since when did this police station become your place to call the shots? Why don't you take my seat?"
"Chi~"
A snicker drifted into the hall from the doorway, drawing everyone's attention.
“Deputy Director Wang is becoming more and more arrogant. You’re the one who calls the shots in this police station now.”
Xing Zhiyuan pronounced the word "deputy" with particular deliberation.
Wang Biao squinted and carefully looked at the young man in police uniform next to Bai Ting.
"Which one are you?"
Since the person was unfamiliar and I didn't know them, and I didn't dare to offend them directly, I could only be cautious and ask who they were.
Xing Zhiyuan strode forward, took out his identification, and handed it to Wang Biao.
"Xing Zhiyuan, captain of the Criminal Investigation Brigade of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, these three people are suspected of being involved in a heinous murder case. I need to take them away."
Wang Biao's chubby liver trembled: "Misunderstanding, isn't it? These three people have come to the wrong house to collect a debt, causing damage..."
Xing Zhiyuan had no patience for him: "Director Hu has already called the director of your Xiujing Scenic Area. I don't need to explain the specifics to you. I'm taking him with me now."
After saying that, he gave Wang Biao a meaningful look and left without looking back.
Passing by the white pavilion at the entrance: "Comrade, would you please bring the three suspects with you?"
Before Bai Ting could retract his grin, he quickly replied, "Yes, I'm coming."
He then increased the pressure on his hands, twisting Mu Sheng as he left the hall.
Liu Zhenghua and Zhang Qiang didn't dare to say anything, and just trembled as they helped each other along.
