I Play Dungeons in the Police Station

On the way back to the city bureau's office from the unit, Li Xiang received a call from Sun Zhidong:

"Li Xiang, you seriously did me dirty. I was doing just fine at Hongqiao Police Station, why are you transferring me to the Criminal Investigation Team? Is that place for our retirement? I'm not going!"

Ever since he got officially confirmed, Sun Zhidong had been living comfortably at Hongqiao Police Station. Well, not really, he was comfortable even before he was confirmed, always comfortable.

Who knew, less than a month after getting confirmed, he suddenly got notified by the city bureau to report to the First Criminal Investigation Team.

The First Criminal Investigation Team?

Isn't that Li Xiang's unit?

Upon hearing the name of this unit, Sun Zhidong immediately knew it was Li Xiang's doing.

You're living a peaceful life as a policeman and you don't want that?

You're choosing to go be a detective?

Are you nuts?

So he called Li Xiang immediately.

"You're young, why are you talking about retirement? Don't you have any dreams?"

"Of course, my dream is to live off my earnings and retire."

For Sun Zhidong, as long as he doesn't start a company or make bad investments, the wealth at home is enough for him to spend for three lifetimes. The reason he takes a job is for the sake of appearance, for his parents' face, something that sounds good when talked about, like in the past: Xiao Dong works at the police station.Now, since becoming official, they say even louder: My Xiao Dong is a policeman at the police station.

Just to make sure people don't think he's idling around, he's taken a job.

"If I had known your mindset earlier, I wouldn't have transferred the auxiliary police formal position to you, I would have given it to a dog." Li Xiang said, exasperated.

"Didn't you also get Moqiu a position? I'm your brother, shouldn't the same apply to me?" Sun Zhidong smirked. He didn't think Li Xiang was bluffing because Li Xiang really got Moqiu a police dog position. In this regard, he's totally impressed with Li Xiang.

"You do know we're brothers, right? Now your brother is short of people, are you coming or not?"

"Alright, alright, I knew I was being used as labor again."

After hanging up, Sun Zhidong packed his personal belongings, put them in the car, and headed to the bureau.

Back at the bureau, the extra manpower promised by Feng Yonglin also gradually arrived:

"Reporting, Captain Li, Ding Lifan from the Second Team reporting to you."

"Shen Chong from the Second Team."

"I'm Hu Zhao from the Third Team."

"I'm also from the Third Team, my name is Xia Yujiang."

The people transferred from the Second and Third Teams all held ranks higher than Li Xiang, but at this moment they were quite respectful to Li Xiang. After all, Li Xiang's reputation had been growing these past few days.

A person's name is like a tree's shadow.

Now he was the captain, and they were here to help out, naturally, they wouldn't overstep.

Although Feng Yonglin only arranged for four people, for Li Xiang, it was better than nothing. It's better than having no one, right?

"Welcome everyone, first let me introduce the current situation to you all."

Li Xiang warmly welcomed everyone and then briefed them on the case and the investigation status so far.

Just as he was speaking, there was another report from the door:

"Reporting, Sun Zhidong from Hongqiao Police Station reporting."

Hearing Sun Zhidong's familiar voice, the corners of Li Xiang's mouth curved into a slight smile. Haven't seen this guy for a while.

"Come in."

After entering, Sun Zhidong looked around and was stunned. Where was the captain of the First Team?

Before coming, he did his homework; the captain of the First Team was named Cao Gang. He didn't want to make a fool of himself when he arrived, but after looking around, there wasn't anyone who looked like Cao Gang, so he approached Li Xiang and asked, "Where's the captain?"

"That's me."

"Don't joke around, isn't it Captain Cao?"

"Captain Cao went out for training, have a seat, we were just analyzing the case."

Li Xiang didn't make too much small talk with Sun Zhidong. After he found him a chair to sit down, he continued, "Today, Coach Su and I conducted an investigation at Qiu Chengguang's unit. He mentioned someone named Li Wei. The two have some conflicts, but based on what we know, his motive for the crime isn't compelling. Brother Mao, how's his bank account investigation going?"

"I've reviewed Li Wei's bank transactions. No suspicious transactions nor any Bitcoin transactions with foreign institutions were found." Mao Ji reported truthfully on his findings.

"Alright, as of now, Qiu Chengguang hasn't provided any other suspects, so I've requested support from Feng for 24-hour protection of Qiu Chengguang. Colleagues from the Second and Third Teams, please form teams with your respective units and provide protection for Qiu Chengguang in shifts. Also, pay attention to any suspicious individuals suddenly appearing around his home, especially foreigners. Intelligence suggests that this darknet has foreign backgrounds, and before making a move, they will certainly scout the surroundings of his home."

With not enough staff, Li Xiang could only shorten the shifts. Everyone took turns for 12 hours per shift to follow and protect Qiu Chengguang.

The other aim of protection is to discover if there are any suspicious individuals approaching him.

Listening to Li Xiang assigning work, Sun Zhidong finally believed what Li Xiang said.

He's already a captain?

Half a year ago, the two of them were auxiliary police officers.

Half a year later, he's a Third Class Superintendent, the captain of the First Criminal Investigation Team, and Sun himself is still a trainee officer, continuing to make a living under him.

Thinking about it, he wonders if he's been too lazy?

If he put a bit of effort, could he rise as quickly as Li Xiang?

"Sun Zhidong."

In the middle of Sun Zhidong's daydreaming, Li Xiang called him back to reality.
