The Dream Fulfillment Master in the Courtyard

Shen Zhiyu squinted at Xue Kaixuan, and he naturally saw the fleeting smugness on the other's face, as well as the contemptuous air of someone who was certain of victory.

No need to ask, that bastard definitely has a backup plan.

Shen Zhiyu did not make a fuss.

Instead, they let the other party be taken away.

The matter of interrogation is not under Shen Zhiyu's jurisdiction.

Sun Xu once again extended an invitation to Shen Zhiyu, hoping that he could join the Municipal Bureau.

"Xiao Shen, the Municipal Public Security Bureau really needs someone like you!"

"Boss, I really think this is a great idea!"

Shen Zhiyu politely declined again.

"Boss, I don't think this matter will be easy to resolve. You need to interrogate that guy surnamed Xue as soon as possible. I have a feeling he has a backup plan!"

Why do you say that?

Sun Xu was taken aback. "The man's already been arrested. What can he do even if he has other tricks up his sleeve?"

"Sir, military strategy dictates that one should consider defeat before victory!"

"What if Xue Kaixuan had anticipated his arrest from the beginning and made some arrangements accordingly?"

That's very likely!

"Don't worry, nothing will happen!"

Sun Xu was confident, "As long as we monitor Xue Kaixuan's social connections, the people he frequently contacts, and the places he often goes, even if Sun Wukong comes, he'll have to obediently lie under the Five Fingers Mountain!"

Hearing this, Shen Zhiyu was convinced.

Are people handling cases this simple and brutal these days?

However, it seems to be a really good method.

Shen Zhiyu stopped talking to Sun Xu and began to record the details of the arrest of Xue Kaixuan and the other two.

Naturally, some images came to mind.

The two men who carried Yang Lin's body were just small fry, underlings of Xue Kaixuan, who usually loitered around on the streets and were of no importance.

On Xue Kaixuan's side, however, several people met with him in secret on multiple occasions.

Shen Zhiyu saw the crucial scene, but there was nothing she could do about it.

It would be appropriate for Sun Xu to speak only after he had sorted out Xue Kaixuan's interpersonal relationships.

Finding that courtyard was already a bit of a mystery for Shen Zhiyu, so it would be too much to ask if she could find several more suspects now.

"Boss, if there's nothing else, I'll be heading out now!"

"What's the rush?"

Sun Xu stopped Shen Zhiyu, who was about to leave, "You've helped us solve another big case. I have to treat you to lunch today!"

"Boss, really, it's not necessary. This is just part of my job!"

Shen Zhiyu refused outright.

As a result, he couldn't resist Sun Xu's insistence and was eventually dragged to eat a meal cooked in the cafeteria.

You know what, the food at the municipal bureau's canteen is far better than the cooking skills of Sha Zhu at the steel mill's canteen.

"Xiao Shen, the conditions here are pretty good. If you come, you'll get the待遇 (treatment/benefits) of a deputy section chief!"

Even during the meal, Sun Xu couldn't resist trying to steal Shen Zhiyu's girlfriend.

Shen Zhiyu looked at the other person, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

Seeing this, Sun Xu laughed and said, "Alright, alright, alright, let's not talk about it anymore, let's eat!"

This time, he really didn't say anything.

After dinner, Shen Zhiyu said goodbye to Sun Xu. He planned to visit Ye Yingying at the exhibition hall before returning to the steel rolling mill.

As for the follow-up of the case, Shen Zhiyu did not believe that the Municipal Bureau could not solve the problem without him.

After leaving the Municipal Bureau, Shen Zhiyu went to the exhibition hall "on the way".

Not on the way?

Who says it's not on the way?

"Why are you here again? Don't you have to go to work?"

"Or has the case already been solved?"

Ye Yingying was quite curious when she saw Shen Zhiyu reappear.

Shen Zhiyu smiled and said, "Then we absolutely have to crack it! The person has already been caught, and the Municipal Bureau can handle the follow-up interrogations and cleanup, so I'll take a shortcut!"

"He's definitely slacking off!"

Ye Yingying smiled and said softly, "But I still have to go to work!"

"It's nothing, I just came to check on you. I have to go back to work soon!"

Hearing Shen Zhiyu say this, Ye Yingying looked at him with a rather resentful gaze.

Shen Zhiyu just chuckled and said, "Why don't you ask for leave?"

"Shall we go out and have some fun?"

"Let's forget about it!"

Ye Yingying thought for a moment and rejected Shen Zhiyu's suggestion.

She gently pushed Shen Zhiyu and said, "You should go back to work!"

"Let's go out and have fun again on our days off!"

"Alright, then I'm really leaving!"

"Let's go, let's go!"

Ye Yingying glanced around and, finding that no one was paying much attention to her, breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Shen Zhiyu waved and left the exhibition hall.

……

When they returned to the steel rolling mill, Chen Guofu and Fan Zhijun were both there.

The two were eating roasted sweet potatoes by the stove.

"You guys didn't even have lunch, did you?"

It's only been a short while since lunchtime, and the two of them are already eating roasted sweet potatoes here. That's really illogical.

"The case is solved?"

"That's about it, the guy's been caught. I didn't get involved in the subsequent interrogations!"

Shen Zhiyu dragged a stool over and squeezed down next to the stove. She glanced at the two of them again and asked, "You two didn't really skip lunch, did you?"

"I ate, but I'm still not full!"

"Is there no food in the cafeteria?"

"Disgusting!"

"Damn it, it's almost Chinese New Year, and the food in the cafeteria is getting worse and worse!"

When Fan Zhijun talks about this, he gets a bit short-tempered.

"What's going on?"

Shen Zhiyu had also eaten at the cafeteria, and the taste was alright.

Chen Guofu's lips twitched slightly as he said, "It's almost Chinese New Year, and the factory leaders are hosting a lot of banquets. Several of the best chefs in the canteen are busy preparing these meals!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Zhiyu instantly understood.

Because it was for a banquet, the head chefs stopped cooking and their apprentices took over the cooking of the large pot dishes.

Master chefs usually have their own special skills, which they don't easily teach to their apprentices.

Take Sha Zhu for example; he relies on his unique seasonings when cooking.

In the original storyline, it was precisely with this seasoning that he managed to turn the tables on Yu Li and Yan Jiecheng, who were trying to scheme against him.

"Aren't the people in the factory dissatisfied?"

"have!"

Chen Guofu chuckled, "This noon, many people went to the union without even having lunch. Otherwise, we wouldn't have rushed over to maintain order before we were even full!"

"pretty!"

Shen Zhiyu didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

That's exactly how it should be done!

When workers are in charge, it's not just a joke.

How can it be acceptable for the person in charge to eat pig swill?

The three of them were huddled together, whispering amongst themselves, when Qian Weigong, who had somehow appeared outside the office, suddenly let out a snort.

"Oh, Director, what brings you here?"

"What is the mission? Please give instructions!"

Fan Zhijun and Chen Guofu stood up instantly when they saw Qian Weigong, standing ramrod straight, while Shen Zhiyu was a beat slower to react.

Those two bastards, they're not even human!

Shen Zhiyu also quickly stood up, standing ramrod straight.

"Xiao Fan, come here for a second!"

Qian Weigong glanced at Fan Zhijun, spoke calmly, but his gaze swept over Shen Zhiyu's face, giving her a look that said, "You'll understand."

"What's going on?"

Shen Zhiyu was completely bewildered; she hadn't done anything today.
