"I just moved here and happened to find a coffee shop. I didn't expect you to open so early."

"The boss's ability is the same as yours, so he asked us to go to work so early, and I just happened to run into you."

The waiter responded with a smile.

It was too early in the morning and no one came to the coffee shop to drink coffee. There were only Lin Ci and the waiter in the entire coffee shop.

Lin Ci was also bored, and the waiter was also bored, so the two of them just happened to get together and chatted with each other from time to time.

Lin Ci didn't dare to stare at the door of the police station too deliberately. He could only pretend to look outside from time to time and glance at what was happening at the door of the police station.

It’s a pity that the police chief was not able to enter the station this morning, and even the director and block captain were nowhere to be seen.

……

The director sat in his office and decided to check each one one by one.

The chief then called in a sheriff.

The sheriff was very confused. He had not done anything wrong and didn't know what the chief wanted to talk to him about.

The sheriff walked to the chief's door and knocked twice.

The chief responded, and the sheriff opened the door. He walked in carefully and came in front of the chief.

"What do you want to talk to me about?"

The sheriff was obviously a little overwhelmed.

He was worried about the mistakes he had made, but he was not sure where he had made them.

"Chief Zhao, don't be so nervous. As the chief, I just want to care about my subordinates."

As he spoke, the chief stood up and actually moved a chair for Chief Inspector Zhao and placed it opposite the desk.

Chief Inspector Zhao was caught off guard by the sudden show of goodwill. He quickly took a step back and waved to the chief.

"If you have anything to say, just tell me directly. This makes me feel a little uncomfortable.

Did I make a mistake? You should just tell me directly. Instead, you are being so nice to me. Aren't you just slapping me in the face?

I feel even more guilty, so I would like to ask the Director to explain clearly. "

When the chief saw Chief Inspector Zhao's reaction, he suddenly felt that he had gone too far and lost his director's style, which would make the other party overthink things.

The reason why the chief was particularly friendly to Chief Inspector Zhao was because among all the chiefs, he was the one he suspected the most.

It’s just that the director didn’t know how to ask.

What if it’s not the case, wouldn’t my identity be exposed?

"Don't think too much. You haven't done anything wrong. I just haven't cared about my subordinates for a long time.

Don't worry, everyone is treated equally, and I will treat the next sheriffs who will come in with the same attitude."

After hearing this, Chief Inspector Zhao felt a little relieved.

"Please sit down. I just want to chat with you. You standing next to me looks like you are reporting to me."

Chief Inspector Zhao nodded and sat down opposite the chief.

No matter how much the chief tried to comfort Chief Zhao, he made it clear that he just wanted to chat with him.

Chief Inspector Zhao was still a little scared, after all, he was the first person to be called into the office.

The director said to him leisurely:

"What do you think about Mr. Zhao's case?"

"I have no opinion. As long as the block captain and you have any instructions, I will definitely cooperate with you and try to find evidence against Mr. Zhao..."

Chief Inspector Zhao responded in a very official manner.

He didn't know what the director's purpose was in suddenly asking this question.

Instead of saying that you don’t have a better solution, it’s better to just say that you have no solution.

Blind self-confidence and speaking out what you think is the best method may not gain the director's approval, but will instead leave the director with a bad impression of you.

The director continued to ask:

"So what ideas do you have for finding evidence?"

"According to the conclusion drawn by the block captain, in addition to the account books, there must be other physical evidence that can serve as evidence. He told me that he plans to lead a team to the boxing gym this afternoon to search it again."

The chief was shocked when he heard this. The block captain did not report to him first, but reported to his subordinates instead.

Is this guy starting to doubt me?

But he did not reveal any flaws at all. The block team leader should not issue orders to the lower levels and not report instructions to the higher levels.

"Okay, I get it. There's nothing else to do. Just work hard. I'm counting on you.

If we need to expand the team in the future, I hope you can become the block leader of group six."

The director is just making empty promises. It is unknown when a new team will be formed.

Upon hearing this, Chief Inspector Zhao thought that the position of director had already been chosen, and he quickly thanked him.

The chief smiled and said to Chief Zhao.

"As long as you perform well, anything is possible."

【389】Don’t even think about apologizing!

"You deserve all this. You don't need to thank me. If I have anything to thank, it should be yourself."

"By the way, call the block captain over. He must have had a hard time these past two days. I need to counsel him and not let him keep working at such a high workload."

At this time, Chief Inspector Zhao had already walked to the door of the office.

After hearing what the director said, he nodded without thinking much about it.

I walked out of the sheriff's office and came to the block captain's workstation, but I didn't see him.

After searching around, I found him in his office, working with other sheriffs on strategies for this case.

Since Chief Inspector Zhao came back from the chief's office, he felt like he had suddenly moved up a level.

The status has not yet come to him, but the feeling is slowly rising in him.

In the past, Director Zhao would have been forced to kneel down and walk to the side of these captains, and quietly tell them that the director wanted to talk to him about something.

As long as Chief Inspector Zhao thought about the fact that he would be on equal footing with the block captain in the future, it seemed that he no longer needed to be in awe of him.

So he walked to the office door and knocked twice.

The block captain was so engrossed that he didn't even hear the sound of the door opening. He continued to discuss the follow-up progress with other sheriffs.

When Chief Inspector Zhao saw that the block captain ignored him, he increased his strength and hit him twice more vigorously.

The block captain turned his head impatiently and took a look. The knock on the door interrupted his thoughts.

"Don't you see that we are discussing the case? How come you don't have any insight at all?"

The block captain got a little angry and cursed at Chief Zhao.

Chief Inspector Zhao has no intention of pampering the block captain at this moment. We will be colleagues on equal terms in the future. It is already good enough that I can come here and tell you that it is the Chief Inspector to call you that. Do you want me to apologize?

Don't even think about it!

Chief Zhao said calmly to the block captain with a blank expression on his face.

"The director is calling you."

Chief Inspector Zhao left with these four simple words, not even giving the block captain a chance to confront him.

The block captain couldn't help but complain as he watched Chief Inspector Zhao leave.

"When did this guy become so arrogant? He doesn't even take me seriously. Is he planning to rebel?"

"Maybe there are some difficult problems in life that affect his mood. Don't let this little thing affect your mood."

The sheriff on the side comforted the captain of the straight block.

After hearing this, the block captain had no choice but to give up. If he said something excessive again, it would seem that he was being petty.

Then the captain put down the work at hand and walked into the director's office. His eyes were shining and he came quickly to the director with excitement on his face.

"Is there any new progress in the case, or any new ideas that we can refer to?"

The director smiled and shook his head.

“There’s no progress, and no ideas. I called you here just to give you a break.

There is always a limit to everything. Excessive effort will only make things go in the opposite direction."

"I also want to rest, but I have no clues now. There is simply not enough evidence to convict Mr. Zhao.

If I could really subdue him, I wouldn't have to sit here scratching my head every day."

The block captain sighed helplessly and scratched his hair.

Unexpectedly, there were several fallen hairs stuck on my hands.

"Look at all this hair, it really drives me crazy.

It would be fine even if there was a clue for us to refer to. Now there is absolutely no progress and we are stuck where we are, with time running out bit by bit.

I really don’t want to wait until 15 days later for the owner of the boxing gym to be acquitted.”

“I know you are very anxious, but the problem now is that we have no clues.

There are no clues. We just need to slowly find clues. If you fall, what will happen to the other sheriffs? "

The director did not directly ask what he wanted to ask just now.

From the side I wanted to give the block captain a break.

Obviously, not only did the block captain not understand the chief's meaning, but if he could clone himself, he would have wanted ten clones to appear at the same time to handle the case together.

Seeing that soft tactics didn't work, the director had to resort to hard tactics.

"I heard that you were going to lead the team this afternoon and go to the boxing gym to investigate again."

“Ah… yes…”

The block captain then realized that he had forgotten to report to the chief.

“I just have this idea temporarily, and it has not been confirmed yet, so I haven’t reported it to you.

If confirmed, I will report to you as soon as possible."

The director pursed his lips.

"Our usual rules don't seem to be what you said.

Any matters at the middle level need to be reported to me first, and then to the subordinates.

The current situation is that my subordinates knew about it before me. What's going on?"

The chief pretended to be calm. He was not sure whether the block captain knew that he was involved in this matter.

It is possible that he was just anxious and forgot to report it.

【390】Lost Confidentiality Agreement

The block captain realized that the chief had called him in just to question him about this matter, and he suddenly felt a little nervous.

Indeed, the block captain did not report the incident in accordance with correct regulations.

He was a little overwhelmed, but he still raised his head and pretended to be calm, trying to put a smile on his face, and spoke carefully to the sheriff.

"I'm so sorry, Chief, I didn't mean to forget you.

Maybe it's because I want to solve this case so much that my heart is so up and down.

I hope you can understand me a little more.”

The director looked at him and thought that he didn't look like someone who knew that he was involved in this matter.

So the director just waved his hand at him.

"Okay, I get it, be careful next time.

But I searched the boxing gym yesterday and didn't find any evidence of crime. Even if you go there again, I'm afraid you won't find anything."

“I didn’t mean to say that you didn’t search thoroughly enough yesterday, I just wanted to go and take another look so that I can calm down.
