Chapter 102 The Mastermind

Seeing Wu Fusheng's posture, Song Zijie couldn't help but stand up as well.

"We'll take our time investigating Lin Kun's case."

Wu Fusheng paced around the office and casually struck up a conversation with Song Zijie, saying, "He's a very secretive person. I've had some contact with him recently."

"Um."

Song Zijie continued the conversation following Wu Fusheng's lead, his gaze following Wu Fusheng's movements.

Wu Fusheng quickly scanned the office but found nothing.

It will take quite a while.

Wu Fusheng stopped and returned to his desk.

On top of the pile of documents, a new file was placed.

He picked up the file, glanced through it briefly, and held it in his hand.

A while later.

Wu Fusheng squatted down immediately.

He looked under the table, but didn't find anything unusual.

Wu Fusheng looked at the ventilation ducts in the ceiling, but found nothing.

Inclined.

Wu Fusheng immediately lay down on the ground.

A small eavesdropping device was hidden under his office chair.

The angle is tricky; it's hidden in the chair's pressure lever controller, where a faint red light is flashing.

Song Zijie also squatted down and followed Wu Fusheng's gaze to see this thing, and frowned.

His eyes met Wu Fusheng's for a moment, and they exchanged glances.

"Come on, let's go outside for a smoke."

Wu Fusheng did not touch the eavesdropping device and got up to leave the office.

Song Zijie quickly followed.

Perhaps it's because the character achievement rewards have been upgraded.

When Wu Fusheng entered the office, he noticed that something seemed off about the environment.

The distance between the seats has changed.

Wu Fusheng's legs are a bit long.

and so.

He has a habit of keeping the stool at a perfect distance so that he can sit down as soon as he comes over.

and.

The angle of the stool backrest has also changed noticeably.

Wu Fusheng felt something was wrong when he sat down; it wasn't a comfortable position for him.

If it were any other time...

Wu Fusheng couldn't sense anything, or rather, he didn't care or think about it much.

But now.

His overall perception seems to be much more sensitive.

Naturally, one will think of more things, analyze and plan, and become more vigilant.

"Brother Sheng."

Song Zijie was also a little surprised, "How did you find out?"

He didn't notice anything amiss; everything seemed normal.

"Feel."

Wu Fusheng gave a casual reply, offering him a cigarette, "Do you know who has been in my office?"

It's not difficult to know this.

Song Zijie thought for a moment, then seemed to remember something, "It seems like the CIB people from the West District have been here before?"

He exhaled smoke. "I remember now, it's him. Sasha told me about him."

"When you went to the Kowloon Police Station these past few days, CIB officers brought inspectors from the Customs and Excise Department to see you."

They said they needed your help with a case, but you weren't there, so they left afterwards.

Wu Fusheng did not respond.

He frowned as he took a drag of his cigarette, his mind racing with calculations.

CIB?

Customs inspector?

I don't have any cases myself, so what dealings do I have with them?

What you say comes true.

front.

Two people walked up to us, followed by a waiter.

"Ah Jie, go get me a copy of the CCTV footage," Wu Fusheng instructed Song Zijie. "I need the footage of them arriving."

Song Zijie nodded and immediately turned to leave to take care of the arrangements.

"Wu Sir, you're back. I'm Leung Chun-yee from the CIB Criminal Intelligence Bureau."

Liang Junyi came up and greeted him warmly, "Knowing you were coming back today, we came to find you right away."

"Wu Sir, you're quite famous in our Western District now. We know you're very good at analyzing cases."

We at CIB have cases with customs, but we're not entirely clear on the details, so we're here to inquire.

Liang Junyi stepped aside to make way and introduced the person next to him, "This is Inspector Liao from Customs."

Inspector Liao greeted Wu Fusheng with a smile, "Wu Sir, thank you so much for your help."

Wu Fusheng glanced at the three of them without making a sound, then looked at the men following behind them.

He then nodded: "It's alright, there's no trouble at all."

"Come on, let's go inside and sit down, we can talk slowly."

CIB Criminal Intelligence Division.

Internally, there are teams responsible for intelligence gathering, a technical group responsible for installing equipment, and a team responsible for technical interception.

They've got quite a background.

It seems so.

They were the ones who planted the eavesdropping device in the office.

really.

After committing a crime, the perpetrator will habitually return to the crime scene.

office.

Inspector Liao took out a file and handed it to Wu Fusheng. "Here's the thing, we're currently investigating a case involving the smuggling of pirated CDs."

"The situation is like this..."

Wu Fusheng took the file and quickly scanned it.

Based on Inspector Liao's description, there's really not much to analyze in this case.

Smuggling, you know.

It's not like we're in the serious crimes unit.

The key is to follow people; once you've followed someone, you can solve the case and catch them red-handed.

but.

Wu Fusheng then proceeded to analyze the situation in a seemingly professional manner, even offering his own investigative opinions and directions.

"Thank you so much!"

Inspector Liao stood up. "Wu Sir's reputation is indeed well-deserved."

"You're welcome."

Wu Fusheng nodded with a smile, "It's all about inter-departmental cooperation. Of course, I'm very willing to help you if I can."

They chatted for a few more minutes before leaving.

Wu Fusheng stood up and walked towards the monitoring room, where Song Zijie had already retrieved the footage from that time.

Song Zijie said, "The last time they came, it was the same three of them. The one responsible for delivering the files was the guy following behind."

on the screen.

Liang Junyi and Inspector Liao waited outside while the clerk went in to deliver the case files.

"The person who went in is named Lin Yixiang. He's a technical talent, from the CIB technical team."

Song Zijie is highly proactive in his work.

When Wu Fusheng asked him to pick up the CCTV footage, the investigation had already extended to include specific details.

"Um.."

Wu Fusheng nodded thoughtfully.

It is definitely a violation of police regulations for CIB personnel to come into your office and wiretap.

and so.

Wu Fusheng guessed that the eavesdropping device definitely didn't belong to the police force.

otherwise.

If they are found out and traced back to them, it will be very troublesome.

"Inspector Wu, what should we do?"

Song Zijie hesitated for a moment, then said, "Should we have the forensic team come and collect evidence? Compare the fingerprints?!"

He is very unhappy right now.

Song Zijie knows best what kind of person Brother Sheng is, yet now he's being wiretapped by the CIB for no reason.

Wu Fusheng shook his head. "No rush."

His gaze was fixed on Lin Yixiang, who went into the office and quickly came out again in the picture.

One in and one out, which is the time spent walking in and out normally.

They had already chosen their listening location from the beginning; their target was very clear.

They must have also taken counter-investigation measures, such as eliminating fingerprints and preventing tracking.

That being the case.

It's better to pretend we don't know and let them leave it inside.

I will definitely come back to pick it up later.

"Just leave it at that, pretend you don't know."

Wu Fusheng turned and left, saying, "Keep an eye on things, I'm going out for a bit."

"I'll go with you."

"Need not."

Wu Fusheng grabbed his car keys and quickly went downstairs.

To turn a passive situation into an active one, the natural approach is to follow the clues and see who they are actually working for.

In this way, we can understand their purpose in eavesdropping on us and deduce the means to counterbalance them.

He drove up to them, found an intersection, stopped his car, and turned it into a taxi.

The route to the Western District, via the Hung Hom Cross-Harbour Tunnel, wouldn't arouse any suspicion from them.

On the street.

When Wu Fusheng reappeared, he had changed his clothes and his face had been decorated.

With master-level tracking and counter-tracking abilities, plus upgrade bonuses that enhance stealth and camouflage.

Wu Fusheng blended into the crowd, appearing as an inconspicuous passerby.

Liang Junyi and his group in front were completely unaware of anything unusual happening behind them.

The group entered a coffee shop.

They sat down and looked at Chief Superintendent Miao Zhihua, the head of the Narcotics Investigation Department, who was sitting opposite them.

"How is it?!"

Miao Zhihua held a newspaper in his hand, his eyes focused on it, ignoring them.

"Successfully, Inspector Wu did not find anything unusual."

Liang Junyi reported the situation, "Perhaps he is still basking in the sense of accomplishment we felt when we asked him to help analyze the case."

"That's good."

Miao Zhihua nodded in satisfaction. "I'll leave the rest to you. Remember to give me important information."

He pressed the newspaper down a couple of inches and looked at Inspector Liao across from him. "As for the specific operations, you'll be in charge of following up. Customs will cooperate with us in the anti-drug operation, and you'll get a share of the credit."

Inspector Liao nodded vigorously, full of enthusiasm, "I will definitely cooperate fully with Inspector Miao's operation."

in case.

If we cooperate with Miao Zhihua this time, we can solve Lin Kun's case.

He was at least a senior inspector, and more importantly, he had gotten involved with Chief Superintendent Miao Zhihua.

His future promotion to Chief Inspector is not even a question he needs to consider.

aside.

Lin Yixiang, who had remained silent until now, said with some worry, "If things are exposed, we'll offend..."

Before he could finish speaking.

Inspector Liao interrupted him directly, "Are you brainless? We've taken precautions, and even if we're discovered, they won't know it's us. What are you afraid of!"

"Think about how much credit you have for this case? You come from an ordinary family, but your wife is a rich heiress."

"How can a mere police officer stand so straight in front of your father-in-law? You can never stand up straight when you see him."

"You've done a great job solving this case for Inspector Miao, and he'll definitely take care of you in the future!"

Lin Yixiang listened to Inspector Liao's reprimand, opened his mouth but then said nothing.

indeed.

He is now very self-conscious, feeling ashamed of being seen as a kept man, and he is losing face.

My father-in-law has told me more than once that I should just go work for him at his company, because there's no future in being a policeman.

If I held a higher position in the police force, the situation would definitely be completely different.

Lin Yixiang nodded, which could be considered as tacit agreement.

As for Liang Junyi, he chose to remain silent.

in fact.

When Miao Zhihua brought Inspector Liao to see them, Liang Junyi objected.

He did not agree with doing so.

Lin Yixiang was very tempted.

The credit he would gain from this case, along with the opportunity to become one of the Chief Superintendent's men, was very tempting to him.

As their leader.

In the end, Liang Junyi could only choose to turn a blind eye.

Miao Zhihua listened to their conversation, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

His position as Chief Superintendent was high enough that he didn't need to ask for permission.

Identity is the greatest source of power, and naturally, people will speak up for you.

"I'm leaving the intelligence to you. Inspector Liao, you keep a close eye on that guy named Ali."

Miao Zhihua rolled up the newspaper and tucked it under his arm, then walked out from behind. "I hope you won't let me down."

His purpose in seeking out Inspector Liao and his group was very simple:

Intercepted.

As long as he can monitor Wu Fusheng, he can reap the benefits behind the scenes.

You don't need to put in any effort at all to control the whole situation.

We only need to follow Wu Fusheng's movements.

He can analyze the situation at any time and then take action at the appropriate time.

Wu Fusheng kept a close eye on the situation here and kept a close watch on Ali, the undercover agent.

Then the greatest credit will definitely go to myself.

At first.

In order to secure the Lin Kun case, he took over the undercover agent Ali from Zhang Fuxi and collected a lot of information.

just now.

Wu Fusheng emerged, and they wanted to take the lead.

Although Miao Zhihua reluctantly agreed to Wu Fusheng's request, he was very unhappy about it.

Although Wu Fusheng's uncle, Huang Dahua, was also a chief superintendent, he was about to retire.

He was much younger than his uncle, so he would definitely have a chance to climb higher.

How could Miao Zhihua willingly hand over such a major case as Lin Kun's and become a supporting actor?

and so.

Using his position as Chief Superintendent of the Western District, he quickly assembled his own "temporary team".

The two components, action and intelligence, complement each other, with the operation being orchestrated from behind the scenes.

perfect.

Take care.

Inspector Liao immediately spoke up, and only after watching Miao Zhihua leave did he turn his gaze away.

He picked up the coffee on the table. "Here it comes! What are you waiting for? Cheers!"

"If I can close this deal, I'll be guaranteed a promotion, hahaha!"

Inspector Liao was immersed in the joy of anticipation, looking very excited and eager for credit.

outside.

Wu Fusheng squatted at the smoking spot, head down, cigarette dangling from his lips, his gaze fixed on the coffee shop diagonally in front of him.

Just to be on the safe side, he decided not to go in.

otherwise.

With improved hearing, perhaps we can even hear what they are saying.

but.

That's no longer important.

After seeing Miao Zhihua, Wu Fusheng already guessed what had happened.

Even a fool would know that they're all here for Lin Kun's case.

It seems.

Miao Zhihua was still quite unwilling to give up and transferred the case to himself.

Is he planning to use me as his employee and then steal me away halfway through?

Wu Fusheng exhaled a puff of smoke and extinguished the burnt cigarette butt.

He glanced at the coffee shop, spat on the floor, and got up to leave.
