Rebirth 2014: I, the King of Criminal Investigation

Chapter 522 Your battalion commander has quite a temper.

Master should still be interrogating Sha Hui right now, so why would he call at this time?
Something must have happened!
Yu Dazhang didn't dare to delay. He immediately got up, answered the phone, and walked out.

Before leaving, he glanced at Jiang Qi, who remained motionless in the same position.

Once outside, he immediately put the phone to his ear:

"what happened?"

"Someone from the headquarters has arrived." A serious voice came from the phone:

"They said they would take over Wang Lingling's case as well, and take Sha Hui away."

The action was too fast... Yu Dazhang had expected the headquarters to come and ask for people, but he didn't expect it to happen so quickly.

Without thinking twice, he spoke into his phone:

“I’m heading back right now. During this time, Sha Hui cannot leave the Hongkou branch. No matter who comes, they cannot take her away.”

At this moment, he also realized that Sha Hui must have obtained some key information, otherwise the other party would not be so desperate to take her away.

The fact that Zeng Guilin's case was taken over by the General Team was somewhat understandable, since a bomb was discovered, which involved public safety.

However, the General Team has absolutely no reason to take on the Wang Lingling suicide case now.

They've clearly come to snatch people away.

Hongkou Branch.

"what's wrong with you?"

At this moment, two police officers from the brigade were confronting Lü Zhongxin:

"We've shown you all our credentials, and our leader has already spoken to your captain. Why are you preventing us from seeing him?"

Lu Zhongxin stood before them, showing no intention of backing down, but explained in a relatively polite tone:

“You can’t just talk the talk, you need at least some handover paperwork. If I just hand him over like this, and you release him halfway through, I won’t be able to explain myself.”

Release them? The two were taken aback by his words.

That's not how you talk.

Are they treating us like accomplices to the suspect?

"No, you..."

One of the officers glared at the officer, swallowing back the curse that was about to come out.

He took a deep breath and said:
"It's not like we're transferring a suspect from another location. What kind of procedures are needed? We're all in the same system. A simple greeting between the leaders is enough. It's not that complicated."

He was being very polite by saying that.

For the Criminal Investigation Corps, as a higher-level authority, taking over a case from a lower-level department is truly just a matter of a single sentence.

Often, there's no need to even make a special request; a single phone call from the leader and the subordinate department will proactively send the person over.

"So be it."

Lu Zhongxin said in a consultative tone:
"Since you've already made arrangements, let our captain handle this. As long as he agrees to release the person in front of me, I'll hand him over to you immediately."

He's just stalling for time.

As long as he can stall until Yu Dazhang returns, he will have completed his mission.

The two officers from the headquarters exchanged a glance and decided that this was a viable solution.

This person clearly doesn't want to take responsibility. In that case, it seems more appropriate to have the team leader handle it.

They were also ordered to pick up people. Since everyone was in the same system, it was naturally not appropriate to forcibly take people away.

The two then contacted the headquarters and reported what had happened.

"okay, I get it."

After hanging up the phone, Liao Changwei hesitated for a moment before calling the First Brigade of the Hongkou Branch.

Luckily, Wei Qian happened to be on duty at the brigade.

"I am Liao Changwei from the Criminal Investigation Division."

"Good leadership."

Both men spoke very politely, and then Liao Changwei got straight to the point:
"Our brigade is taking over a suicide case. The suspect is currently with you, and we need your team's cooperation to hand him over to us."

"Suicide?" Wei Qian muttered, then realized what he meant.

"Are you talking about Wang Lingling's suicide case?"

"That's right." Liao Changwei thought things would go smoothly because he heard him speak very politely.

Unexpectedly, Wei Qian's tone suddenly became harsh the next moment:

"I'm sorry, a special task force has been set up for this case, and there has been a new breakthrough in the case. It cannot be transferred out." He had just sent two people to Yu Dazhang today, so he naturally knew that this case was no longer a simple suicide case.

If the brigade were to take over at this point, without even giving a reason, he would definitely not compromise.

To become the captain of a large brigade, one naturally needs to have a strong personality.

Dealing with eight types of cases every day, if you don't stand up for yourself, you'll have been replaced long ago.

"Do you know what you're talking about?"

This time, Liao Changwei's tone carried a threatening undertone.

"Is there anything else?"

Wei Qian completely ignored his threat, his tone cold and direct, even carrying a hint of impatience:

"I'm very busy here during the Chinese New Year..."

A busy signal suddenly came from the phone, and Wei Qian immediately hung up.

Liao Changwei was about to hear what he was going to say next when he heard the busy tone and realized that the other party had no intention of arguing with him at all.

At the same time, he also guessed the unspoken second half of the other person's sentence: "I don't have time to chat with you."

Liao Changwei stared at his phone, stunned, for a full half minute.

The captain of a branch office was so tough, showing no respect whatsoever to me, the deputy captain of the brigade, and even daring to hang up on me.

Who gave you the courage?

Hongkou Branch.

Yu Dazhang received a call from Wei Qian as soon as he got out of the car.

"Focus on your case. You don't need to worry about anything else. Even if there's pressure, it won't reach you unless you remove me from my position as captain."

On the phone, Wei Qian's voice was clearly angry, indicating that the previous phone call had also infuriated him.

"Yes!"

Hearing that Captain Wei was angry, Yu Dazhang unconsciously straightened his back and replied seriously:
"I will definitely investigate this case thoroughly and live up to the expectations of my superiors, giving it my all..."

"Beep beep beep~" A busy signal came through.

At least let me finish my prepared remarks... Yu Dazhang knows Wei very well; he's meticulous and rigorous in his work.

He's the kind of old-fashioned person who can't tolerate any nonsense.

But it is this old-fashioned approach that upholds the bottom line for law enforcement officers.

The detachment leader's office.

Li Jun had just returned from outside and hadn't even sat down when his phone rang.

"Hey?"

"I am Liao Changwei."

"I know, I know. What are the instructions?"

"Your team leader there has quite a temper. He refused to cooperate with the case that the headquarters wanted to take over."

Both sides were initially quite polite, but after Liao Changwei's words, the atmosphere between them became a bit strange.

When Li Jun heard the other person say "captain," he immediately guessed it was Wei Qian.

The cases that are worth taking on by the General Team must be those from the eight categories of cases.

Moreover, among these brigades, Wei Qian, the captain, is the one with the most temper; no one else would dare to contradict the higher authorities.

"Don't be angry," Li Jun said after thinking for a moment.
"What is his reason for refusing to cooperate? There must be a reason."

He believed that Wei Qian wouldn't make trouble unnecessarily, and that things would be easier to handle once the reason was found.

"He said a special task force had been set up to investigate the case," Liao Changwei said truthfully.
"They also said that there had been a breakthrough in the case, making it impossible to transfer the case."

After he finished speaking, he added:

"Do you believe the claim that a special task force was set up so quickly for just a college student suicide case?"

He felt that his argument was reasonable and well-founded, and that the branch captain would definitely criticize his subordinates and then hand the case over to their headquarters.

To his surprise, there was silence on the other end of the phone.

A moment later, Li Jun's voice rang out again.

This time, he was no longer polite, but spoke with a questioning tone:
"Since it was just a college student suicide case, why did your brigade take it over?"
