Detective: I, Cao Jianjun, started by arresting my brother-in-law.

The person on the other end of the phone couldn't be heard, but after a moment, Deputy Minister Hao hummed twice and then hung up.

After thinking for a while, Deputy Minister Hao pressed the dial button again and dialed another number.

beep--

Toot——

"Hello! This is Hu Huaqing."

"it's me."

Deputy Minister Hao said coldly, "Hu Huaqing, what's wrong with your Shandong Provincial Department? How did the special task force end up fighting with the Nanshan Military Region?"

"Minister Hao".

Hu Huaqing visibly perked up on the other end: "Cao Jianjun and the others are just following orders."

"On orders? On whose orders? Yours?"

"It was decided in our meeting."

Hu Huaqing said neither humbly nor arrogantly, "The Political Security Department of the Nanshan Military Region refuses to release people or investigate, and tells our provincial department to go to the Military Region's 04th Division to arrest them ourselves."

"Tell me, what should we do? The case is so bad, and we don't even know how many people are involved."

"If the Nanshan Military Region is not captured..."

"Nonsense!"

Before Hu Huaqing could finish speaking, Vice Minister Hao impatiently rebuked him, "Hu Huaqing, what are you trying to do? Do you know how serious the consequences of this matter are?"

"Minister Hao, we're in a difficult position too..."

Hu Huaqing feigned helplessness and began to complain.

The higher-ups were playing coy with each other, while the ministry was putting the heavy burden on their provincial department.

The Shandong Provincial Department deliberately created conflict to put pressure on its superiors.

Now that trouble has arisen, the ministry is indeed in a hurry.

Hu Huaqing cleverly seized the opportunity and began to cry foul in various ways.

"We would like to contact the people in the Central Plains Military Region, but the positions are not equal and we are not well informed."

"You're not helping us coordinate, so what are we supposed to do with the task force?"

Hu Huaqing spoke in a tone as if he wanted to tear his heart out and show it to his superiors.

"Hu Huaqing, let me tell you, it's no use trying to be clever with me at a time like this."

Vice Minister Hao is a shrewd old man; how could he not know the intentions of the Shandong Provincial Department?

He then changed the subject, saying, "You're creating unnecessary trouble and escalating the situation; that's a mistake."

As soon as he finished speaking, he slammed the phone down.

…………

at the same time.

The Central Plains Military Region, General Political Department Building.

The sun rises in the east, and the sky is filled with rosy clouds.

A series of hurried footsteps echoed in the third-floor corridor. A young man in military uniform pushed open the door to the chief of staff's office with an anxious expression.

"Chief..."

inside the house.

A man in his sixties, carrying the rank of lieutenant general on his shoulders.

He had a square face, dragon-like eyebrows, and tiger-like eyes, exuding an aura of authority that commanded respect without anger.

"Little Ma, what's wrong?"

Upon seeing the young soldier, the lieutenant general tidied his desk and got up to make himself a cup of tea.

"Something has happened at the Nanshan Military Region."

The young soldier quickly stepped forward and reported, "The special task force from the Shandong Provincial Department has broken into the Nanshan Military Region to arrest people."

"After being blocked by the guard battalion, a deputy leader of the task force fired his gun without authorization, wounding Fang Ping, the battalion commander of the guard battalion."

"what?"

Upon hearing this, the lieutenant general's face darkened.

He slurped down a mouthful of tea and quickly screwed the lid back on.

"What happened? Why?"

The young soldier said anxiously, "I've sorted through the information I've gathered."

"Wang Wenshan, director of the Equipment Department of the Nanshan Military Region, and Qin Yiming of the Logistics Department are suspected of selling retired weapons from the military region..."

"Furthermore, they seem to be involved with several police officers from the Ludongjin Port Police Station..."

"This led to the killing of several police officers."

"Take a look at this..."

As he spoke, the young soldier placed the tablet computer he was holding on the table.

"This happened last night behind a bar in the Jin Gang city area."

"According to information from the Shandong Provincial Department, the people who were shot were police officers who were arresting an active-duty soldier involved in a case."

"This soldier used the alias Andeng; his real name was Anting."

"According to the evidence provided by An Ting, two active-duty officers from the Nanshan Military Region were directly implicated."

At this point, the young soldier paused the video and pointed to the gunmen in the three cars on the road, explaining.

"The killers in these three cars were all police officers involved in the case from the Tianjin Port City Public Security Bureau."

"Because they were being investigated, they wanted to kill someone to cover it up."

"However, these people have now been arrested by the provincial department's special task force."

The lieutenant general, wearing reading glasses, replayed the video over and over again.

After looking at it for a long time, he finally understood and raised his eyebrows: "This is... what happened in Tianjin Port?"

"Yes."

"Wow, I thought it was a blockbuster movie."

The lieutenant general sorted out his thoughts, then slowly took off his reading glasses: "Since someone from the Nanshan Military Region is involved in the case, it should be handed over to the Political Security Department. Why is there a conflict with the special investigation team?"

"That's the problem."

The young soldier continued, "The Shandong Provincial Department said they had spoken with the Political Security Department of the Nanshan Military Region."

"The Political Security Department verbally replied that it had handed the matter over to the special task force of the Shandong Provincial Department."

"Because of this, the task force took its personnel to the military region..."

"But the Nanshan Military Region's response was that they had not received any consultation calls, which is why they did not agree to the task force entering."

"So, when the task force broke in, they first detained the three sentries at the main gate."

"Having entered the military region, we were stopped by the guard battalion halfway there..."

“A group of police officers and a group of soldiers got into a fight. In the end, the task force won. As they continued to walk in, Fang Ping, the battalion commander of the guard battalion, opened fire.”

"The shot hit the deputy leader of the task force. He was lucky because he was wearing a bulletproof vest."

"But after the deputy leader of the task force woke up, he shot Fang Ping in the hand and disarmed the guard battalion."

Got it.

The lieutenant general listened with a gloomy face and understood.

He stood up, put his hands behind his back, and paced around the room for a while.

"Who is the person in charge of this task force, 270? They're quite bold."

"Cao Jianjun".

"Oh, this person..."

The lieutenant general looked up in realization: "I know, he was quite popular at the National Police Commendation Conference a while ago."

"Sir, what should we do now?"

"How to deal with it?"

The lieutenant general chuckled coldly: "This is none of our business. What is the top leader of the Nanshan Military Region good for? He can't even handle such a small matter?"

"Sir, the key point is that the National Police Department has now stepped in."

The young soldier said, "Their Commander Hao called Staff Officer Liu, hoping we would come out and uphold justice."

"What justice are you upholding?"

The lieutenant general frowned and said, "The provincial department's special task force broke into the military region and injured people, but I haven't seen them suffer any losses?"
