I started out as a criminal, and the police relied on me to solve countless cases.

Chapter 215 Today is different from the past

Jiang Hanwen didn’t care much about what Zhu Zhisong was talking about the monk. I don’t believe in ghosts and gods and I don’t worship Buddha.

The most urgent task now is to resolve the problem of Zhang Maocai and the problem of Director Feng who is far away in Beijing.

What virtue or ability have I, Jiang Hanwen, deserved to be framed so deliberately by a successful and famous director?

Regarding Director Feng, Jiang Hanwen felt that it was a completely unprovoked disaster. It's not that he didn't understand the seniority system in the entertainment industry, where there are too many intrigues and unspoken rules. It was indeed against the rules for a young rookie to come in without paying his respects.

In the past, bandits would discuss matters with each other when they met.

But this doesn't mean that Jiang Hanwen is ignorant. He has been in this circle for more than ten or twenty years in his previous life and is familiar with the rules.

The problem is that Jiang Hanwen is a newly graduated student who has been active on short video platforms. How can he get in touch with those big guys?
Lin Leqing mentioned the malicious streaming of the movie promotion live broadcast before, and Jiang Hanwen and his group in Hong Kong forgot about it. Now, he just doesn't pretend anymore and has tricked a vicious and stupid woman into setting a trap for him, using such despicable means.

The old senior himself is shameless, so there is no need for Jiang Hanwen to give him face.

Just based on Liu Xinxin's clue, the evidence produced is enough for this old guy to spend the New Year in jail.

"Brother Jiang, what should I do next?"

Zhang Maocai looked at Jiang Hanwen eagerly. He understood the logic and coding, but he knew nothing about the twists and turns of the law.

"Collect the evidence in your hands and prosecute him for extortion. The evidence in this case is solid. As for the obscene video in your hand."

Jiang Hanwen shook his head.

"Don't take it out yet, or you'll be in a passive position. Don't worry, as long as you don't say anything, it will be a deterrent to Liu Xinxin, and she won't dare to say anything nonsense to the police."

Jiang Hanwen thought about it. In the previous life, Zhang Maocai committed suicide by jumping off a building. His family fought the lawsuit for several years and finally found Liu Xinxin guilty.

The reason why it was so difficult was that as soon as Zhang Maocai died, Liu Xinxin destroyed the evidence between the two that was unfavorable to her in advance.

As a result, the prosecution did not have sufficient evidence, and the police were ultimately forced to resort to various means to obtain relevant evidence, and the case was finally closed.

But it’s different now. The victim Zhang Maocai is enjoying his barbecue. The relevant transfers, transactions, and chat records are all there. There is even evidence that Liu Xinxin embezzled public funds, causing the company to be unable to pay taxes on time.

Not to mention that Zhang Maocai also has Liu Xinxin's xx video in his hand. Although this thing cannot be taken out, holding it in his hand is enough to deter opponents.

After all, for a woman who makes a living by selling her personality to attract rich men, if she loses money she can make it again, but if her personality collapses, then it’s all over, and she will lose all her meal tickets for the rest of her life.

"Why? Are you still reluctant?"

Zhang Maocai suddenly tilted his head and his eyes turned red again.

Jiang Hanwen didn't scold him this time. After all, he was a pure love warrior who had never been in love. Jiang Hanwen believed that Zhang Maocai was sincere to Liu Xinxin and wanted to give her everything he had.

Maybe this is love, even though it is deformed and sounds so humble and powerless.

But Jiang Hanwen still believes that Zhang Maocai is not wrong, although the self-admiration of the bootlicker is not worth mentioning.

"Maocai, to be honest, I can't love someone as wholeheartedly as you do."

Jiang Hanwen took the grilled eel in front of Zhang Maocai.

I guess this kid really can’t eat today.

"But if you can't bear it, just take out those videos and watch them, listen to the language she used to insult you, and slap yourself. If that doesn't work, go to the Roman Palace or Paris in the summer. There are so many pretty girls there. Liu Xinxin is just an ordinary girl. Don't worry, it won't cost much."

Jiang Hanwen gnawed heartlessly on the garlic-flavored pork trotter that had just been delivered to him.

How do you say that.

If a man wants to grow, mature, and be desensitized to gold diggers and scumbag women, he needs to get more massages, baths, and foot treatments.

There is no essential difference between an ugly woman and a beautiful woman. If you don't keep a calm mind, you are sure to lose money.

Besides, this guy spent 1000w on something that can be done with 1000w. He is simply stupid.
"Brother Jiang, can you leave me one pig's trotter? You ate both of them."

Zhang Maocai suddenly pouted and looked at Jiang Hanwen with resentment.

This person is so heartless and has such a vicious tongue.

That's love, how can it be the same as going to a club to find a lady?

"What are you looking at? I'm eating and you're crying. It's seriously affecting my appetite. If you want to eat, order it yourself."

"Love is for good people, not for bitches. If you don't understand this, you will fall into traps in the future."

Jiang Hanwen sighed and looked at the young students in school uniforms coming and going in the food street, feeling a little sad.

When we were in school, we had similar thoughts. Why do people change so much after just a few years in society?

"Brother Jiang, you always told me that people never change. Do you still believe this now?"

Zhang Maocai looked in the direction Jiang Hanwen was looking.

That was the sign of Xiguan No. 2 Middle School across the street, and there were classrooms with lights on in the teaching building.

"I believe it, of course I do. You see, you were unpopular with women in high school and you were cheated by women. You are still unpopular with women and you are cheated by women now. Oh, by the way, there is one difference. You didn't have more than 10 million to spend on women back then."

"Brother Jiang, I hate you!"

Zhang Maocai became furious and picked up the pig's trotter and started to bite it wildly.

"Drip drip"

Jiang Hanwen frowned.
The phone kept ringing while I was eating, and I had no time to spare.

"Two numbers from the capital?"

One was from Lao Zhu, who was still calling, and the other was from an unfamiliar number, who had hung up.

"Hello, Director Zhu, what can I do for you? Oops, that guy got his lines wrong! Can you act?"

Jiang Hanwen laughed and pretended to be very busy.

"Oh, Director Jiang is busy. Excuse me for interrupting you. But it's not easy to shoot a movie in a food street. There are a lot of extras. And you, the director, personally participated in the filming. You ate the pig's trotters with your mouth full of oil. You are so dedicated!"

Lao Zhu's teasing voice came from the phone.

"Damn it, Zhu Qiyu, you old man, you sent someone to monitor me?"

Jiang Hanwen jumped up directly. This old guy is so mean.

"I dare not spy on the Deputy Commissioner of the Hong Kong Police Department. Your rank is not lower than mine. Turn back."

Jiang Hanwen turned around immediately.

Sure enough, there were two men standing at the end of the street.

One is a short old man with a buzz cut wearing gold-rimmed glasses and black casual clothes, and the other is Lao Zhu Plus. Apart from being taller, they are dressed almost exactly the same. The only difference is that the man next to him is wearing a black silk mask, so his appearance cannot be seen.

"Brother Jiang? Is that your friend?"

Zhang Maocai was a little dazed when he saw the two people coming over. Jiang Ge’s friends were all quite old. Both of them looked to be over 60 years old.

This is not the point.

The key point is the aura of these two people. Although they were not wearing formal clothes and one of them was wearing a mask, the aura of the two people could not be hidden at all. Fortunately, there were many students in the food court, otherwise someone would definitely be able to see it.

"Old Zhu, you, you, are so unkind!"

Jiang Hanwen was thick-skinned enough, but his face still turned red.

Lying is not scary. What is scary is lying in front of others and then being exposed in public. It is so embarrassing.

However, Jiang Hanwen immediately took the initiative and began to question Lao Zhu, asking why he did not inform him in advance when he came to Xiguan.

"Haha, Director Jiang, you are wrongly accusing me. As soon as the news about your appointment from Hong Kong reached the department, I immediately bought a plane ticket, had a brief discussion with the higher-ups, and then rushed here without stopping."

"Boss, give us two servings of whatever these two handsome guys are eating."

Old Zhu was not polite either, and the tall man next to him was also very self-conscious.

The two sat down and started ordering food.

Seeing Jiang Hanwen looking confused, Lao Zhu began to explain.

"Regarding your appointment as the Honorary Deputy Commissioner of the Hong Kong Police Force, this is no small matter."

"You, Jiang Hanwen, can actually lead all departments of the Hong Kong Police Force as a consultant. The key is that these arrogant guys still obey you."

"Do you know how big of a surprise this is to the higher-ups? Elder Lin said that he misjudged you. He didn't expect a young man like you who has just started out to be able to achieve this."

"Stop it, stop it!"

Jiang Hanwen put down the pig's trotter and waved his hands repeatedly.

"Don't talk nonsense. What do you mean by taming them? Director Kuang and Lao Zhuang are just friends of mine. It's very simple. There is no such thing as a superior-subordinate relationship or any of the messy relationships you mentioned."

Damn, these people have played zz so hard that their brains have gone crazy. Old Zhu has been in the capital for less than a year and he's already acting like this.

Jiang Hanwen knows best what Kuang Zhili and Laozi and Zhuangzi are like.

There was definitely some zz calculation at the beginning, and it still exists now, but if you expect to use zz calculation to bind these two people, you will definitely be killed by them first.

One is a powerful young man in the Police Force, the Shadow Commissioner, and the other is a foreign detective who is well versed in both the black and white worlds. Which one is easy to deal with?

You still want to conquer them? Do you think you are playing a game?

"Haha, Chief Jiang is just being modest. You don't even know how the Hong Kong Police Department praised you in the letter they sent to the Public Security Bureau. You are simply the best detective in China, and you are also very friendly and well-loved by the grassroots police officers."

Lao Zhu sighed.

"Hey, Old Zhu, I've been a police officer for decades, but my reputation is not even a fraction as good as yours, Director Jiang."

Old Zhu slapped his thigh as he spoke.

"Boss, give this old man ten pig's trotters to shut his mouth!"

Jiang Hanwen really couldn't stand it anymore. This Lao Deng was using the same tactics to flatter his superiors on himself. Did he forget that I, Jiang, am an actor?

Your acting is so poor.

"Okay, okay, let's stop talking nonsense. The first reason I came here this time is to congratulate you on your promotion. The document from the Public Security Bureau will come down soon. Your position as Deputy Commissioner of the Hong Kong Police Department will become a real position, and you will have voting rights in the Security Bureau. The Police Department has also agreed to this. They are eager for you to stay in Hong Kong."

"You are different from the special consultant you were before. You are now a real person with real power. You should know that Hong Kong is not an ordinary place. The higher-ups take it very seriously."

Old Zhu finally became a little serious when talking about business, but he couldn't help but smile.

"It's my promotion, not yours. Why are you laughing?"

Jiang Hanwen rolled his eyes at the old man.

"Nonsense, we are in the same boat. I am going to retire soon. If you get promoted, you have to protect me in the future."

What Lao Zhu said was justified. In his mind, gg to gg was the norm, and it was abnormal to make a big deal out of everything.

But think about it, China has been a society based on human relationships for thousands of years, and this concept has become solidified.

In the past, it was based on blood ties, then it was based on nepotism, and now it is based on the relationship between teachers and students.

I think that's indeed the case.

Jiang Hanwen asked himself that if Lao Zhu ever came to him for help in the future, he must never turn him away.

"call"

Jiang Hanwen let out a sigh and said that he could not be an official. With his nepotism, indiscriminate and protective personality, he would definitely get into trouble if he became an official.

"Hanwen, just be at peace. I don't dare to say anything about others, but none of your friends, Jiang Hanwen, are bad people. Bad people can't be your friends, and you can't be close to them. You don't have to worry about Lao Zhu causing you trouble in the future."

Old Zhu waved his hand and changed the subject.

"Hanwen, let me be frank. In the past, someone on the Internet manipulated you and spread rumors about you. The police can intervene or not."

"Well, the police in various places don't really want to deal with rumors in the entertainment industry. To be honest, the people in your circle are too complicated. They switch back and forth between right and wrong and black and white. Most people can't figure it out. We, the police, don't want to intervene easily because we're afraid that we'll do something bad with good intentions and damage the police's credibility."

What Mr. Zhu said meant that he did not treat Jiang Hanwen as an outsider.

The police have always been lazy in dealing with rumors in the entertainment industry. Unless the victims take the initiative to report the case, they will generally ignore it.

The reason is just as Lao Zhu said.

A drug test can eliminate two-thirds of the people in the entertainment industry. There are too many thieves and prostitutes.

Usually when a piece of news comes out and becomes a hot topic, it is often twisted and turned again, leaving people confused in the end.

Who do you think has the ability to figure out the cause and effect and the hidden story behind something as soon as it happens?
If they really do this, the police station won't have to handle any cases and will just have to deal with all the mess in the entertainment industry every day.

"Hehe, you don't need to say that, Old Zhu. I have never troubled you for such a thing."

Jiang Hanwen pushed Zhang Maocai and asked him to buy some more food. These two guys were skinny and didn't look like they could eat pig's trotters.

"Director Jiang, things are different now."

Old Zhu's eyes narrowed, his face full of ferocity.

"Things are different now! You are now a powerful director in the police system, and you are in a special position in Hong Kong. Some people dare to blatantly spread rumors about you and even want to poison our police's best 'prophet'."

"This matter is of a different nature."

Lao Zhu's tone was grim. If someone hired some internet trolls to spread rumors, he wouldn't be so furious and fly here directly.

An actor, poisoning? Poisoning a deputy commissioner of police, how dare he do such an outrageous thing.

The laws of nature are too difficult to tolerate.

"You guys monitored that Director Feng?"

Jiang Hanwen raised his eyebrows and looked at the tall man next to Lao Zhu.

"Since the last time he hired Internet users to attack your live broadcast room, the Internet monitoring agency has been keeping an eye on him."
