Because three people reported Liu Zhengxing, plus the things that were found in Liu Weidong's house earlier.

Liu Zhengxing was arrested immediately.

Of course, Qin Yuanzheng did not do it himself.

It was Chief of Staff Lin Yucheng from the army who led the way, bringing with him people from the Public Security Bureau and the Revolutionary Committee.

Guan Wenjun was initially quite pleased with himself for having uncovered Liu Weidong's case.

Because this counts as him making a contribution;

As it turned out, Qiao Lanshu and others were framed for trading opium.

When Guan Wenjun heard that Qiao Lanshu had also been arrested and taken to the police station, he was immediately displeased. He stared at Li Jianlin, the deputy director of the police station, and said:

"Li Jianlin, if you can't handle this position of deputy director of public security, then get out of here and take my seat. What have you been doing all day? Little Qiao is such a well-behaved girl, she wouldn't even dare to lie. Do you really think she would smuggle opium on the side?"

Li Jianlin was genuinely wronged: "I know they're innocent. Wasn't it just that someone reported them, and then 'stolen goods' were found on them?"

Guan Wenjun gritted his teeth and cursed, "These members of the Liu family are truly no good!"

When they arrived at Liu Zhengxing's workplace, Guan Wenjun looked at the soldiers following him and asked Staff Officer Lin, "Will you arrest him or should I do it?"

Staff Officer Lin is a soldier. They came together this time because there were military family members involved. They were to accompany and assist in the investigation and, if necessary, transfer the military family members to the troops.

Soldiers certainly cannot do things like arresting people.

Staff Officer Lin said, "You two go ahead."

Guan Wenjun led his men and went into the county's personnel department with Li Jianlin.

Guan Wenjun added aggressively, "Once we catch Liu Zhengxing, we might as well hand him over to our Revolutionary Committee for interrogation."

Li Jianlin, not wanting to offend anyone, immediately said, "Of course, no problem. I'll listen to Director Guan."

When the group arrived at the personnel department, they couldn't find Liu Zhengxing.

After asking around, it was discovered that Liu Zhengxing did not come to work today.

The group then detoured to Liu Zhengxing's house, only to find that no one was home.

Liu Zhengxing has disappeared.

At 8 p.m., everyone returned to the police station lobby empty-handed.

At this point in time, the family members of the other three officials who were framed had already been sent home in advance to avoid worrying their families.

However, the police instructed them not to go out recently and to stay at home, ready to be summoned at any time.

Qiao Lanshu hasn't gone back yet because Qin Yuanzheng is still at the Public Security Bureau.

The police station usually only has a few people working there, and there's no canteen or anything like that.

However, there is a kitchen in the backyard, where Li Jianlin and his colleagues usually cook their meals while they are at work.

When Guan Wenjun, Li Jianlin, Staff Officer Lin and others returned, they smelled the aroma of food coming from the Public Security Bureau.

Guan Wenjun immediately clutched his stomach and exclaimed, "Oh dear, Deputy Director Li, I didn't expect your Public Security Bureau to have a cook! I've been busy all night and I'm starving. Let's grab a bite to eat!"

Li Jianlin hesitated for a moment and said, "That shouldn't be the case. We don't have a chef in our bureau."

Moreover, he took his two police subordinates with him when he went out tonight.

The police station only had military personnel and Qin Yuanzheng inside.

When they arrived at the police station, they saw Qiao Lanshu sitting at a long table in the lobby, eating.

Qin Yuanzheng sat next to her, constantly piling food onto her plate: "Honey, the lamb you bought today is really good, eat more, it's nutritious; by the way, how's this pickled radish? I added vinegar, is it too sour? Sweetie, even if it's not very tasty, eat more, the baby needs nutrition..."

Qin Yuanzheng was gently coaxing his wife to eat.

Her voice was so affectedly sweet and pretentious that it made the three grown men who had just entered feel disgusted.

Staff Officer Lin immediately covered his eyes, his face showing an expression of disbelief.

Their commander is really worthless. Look at the way he's coaxing his little wife, he's embarrassed to even look at him!

Guan Wenjun felt a pang of jealousy and envy as he watched.

To be honest, seeing this scene, he suddenly felt a bit like getting married.

He walked straight over and glanced at the meal Qin Yuanzheng had prepared for Qiao Lanshu.

A plate of pickled radish shreds is a cold dish, followed by a bowl of hot mutton soup noodles, topped with...

The mutton soup noodles smelled delicious. Guan Wenjun, who was starving, said, "Wow, Commander Qin, I didn't know you had this skill! Is there any more noodles? I'm starving."

Qin Yuanzheng glanced at them, and as if his expression had changed, he immediately said in a deep voice with a blank face, "That's all. If you want to eat, make it yourselves."

Guan Wenjun: "..."

Lin Yucheng already knew what kind of person their commander was. He only cooked for his wife.

Otherwise, they usually don't eat in this situation.

Qin Yuanzheng then said to Li Jianlin, "Deputy Director Li, I'm sorry I used your flour just now. I'll have someone send the flour back tomorrow."

Li Jianlin quickly said, "No need, no need, Commander Qin, it's just a little bit of flour. You've eaten it, consider it my treat. There's really no need to be so polite."

Although flour was a precious commodity in those days.

However, cadres like them receive subsidies, so they don't have to worry about a little bit of flour.

But Qin Yuanzheng was unwilling to owe anyone a favor; if he said he would return it, he would definitely return it.

Guan Wenjun, unwilling to give up, went to the kitchen and found that Qin Yuanzheng hadn't left a drop of noodle soup; he had cleaned the entire pot spotlessly.

Absolutely outrageous!

Guan Wenjun had said that he could come in and have some noodle soup, but now he could only drink a glass of water and come out to instruct his subordinates to go to the nearby state-run restaurant to buy some food.

He can't go hungry forever, and besides, he's rich; he won't deprive himself of his rights.

Li Jianlin and several junior police officers had already skillfully rummaged through their drawers and pulled out some dried bread slices or flatbreads to eat.

Qiao Lanshu had almost finished eating. She put down her chopsticks and asked in confusion, "What? You didn't catch Liu Zhengxing?"

Qin Yuanzheng stayed at the police station because he wanted to watch them interrogate Liu Zhengxing.

The fact that they didn't catch anyone surprised everyone.

While munching on a piece of steamed bun, Li Jianlin said, "Oh dear, I went to the personnel department and the Liu family's place, but no one was there. I don't know where he went."

Staff Officer Lin: "I guess he's not home because he's trying to pull strings for his son's sake?"

Guan Wenjun immediately said, "Then why don't we go check out the state-run restaurant? He's trying to pull some strings, so he has to treat him to a meal, right?"

As he spoke, he ordered one of his subordinates to go and look for the state-run restaurant.

Then, Guan Wenjun was right as expected; Liu Zhengxing really was working at the state-run restaurant.
