Police Chief's Anti-Organized Crime Storm

Li Jianmin had just stepped out of his office when a young man in uniform approached him. He looked up at the man and asked, "You are...?"

"Hello, I'm Duan Fei, Director Lin's assistant. Are you Captain Li?" Li Jianmin is the captain of the Criminal Investigation Detachment.

"Hello, this is me." Li Jianmin looked at the other person, a hint of wariness in his eyes.

"Director Lin asked me to get the case file for case 518 from you. Thank you for your help," Duan Fei said succinctly.

Li Jianmin's heart skipped a beat. He looked at Duan Fei, his heart pounding wildly. Case 518, also known as the Gao Lan case, was being asked for by the new Director Lin.

"The case materials haven't been fully organized yet. I'll finish them in a few days and send them directly to Director Lin." Li Jianmin has been a policeman for a long time, and he's a master at handling these kinds of situations.

"No need, just take it. The leader said to take as much as you have compiled, including the evidence for the case and the list of investigators."

"This..." Li Jianmin's expression changed slightly, and he looked at Duan Fei with some displeasure: "Comrade Duan Fei, I'm sorry, this case is a major case in the county. To access the case files, we must obtain Director Liu's approval."

A smile appeared on Duan Fei's face, but his gaze toward Li Jianmin turned slightly cold. He wasn't stupid; he knew that an old hand like Li Jianmin wasn't so easy to deal with.

"Captain Li, I think you'd better hand over the case file. Otherwise, Director Lin will think you're intentionally preventing her from understanding the whole story of Gao Lan's case, and it would be bad if the leadership thought there was something wrong with the case." Duan Fei's words made Li Jianmin's heart skip a beat, and his gaze towards Duan Fei changed slightly. The case file of Gao Lan's case must not be handed over to anyone else; this was Liu Yixiong's order. However, the new Director Lin wanted Gao Lan's case file as soon as she arrived. What was she planning to do?

"Wait a moment, I need to consult with Director Liu." Li Jianmin turned to leave, but suddenly, Duan Feifei quickly blocked his way: "Captain Li, you'd better get the case file out quickly, otherwise, I won't be able to give a proper reply to the leadership."

"Comrade, you're making things difficult for me, understand? We're police officers. Whether it's transferring documents or doing anything else, we must follow procedures. We must act according to the rules. If everyone acted like you and didn't follow the rules, the entire police station would be in chaos."

"You mean Director Lin doesn't have the authority to access the case files, right?" Duan Fei wasn't stupid. As the director of the Public Security Bureau, Lin Ying had the right to access all case files. Li Jianmin was just stalling for time.

Li Jianmin's expression changed slightly. Director Lin had just taken office, and they couldn't possibly go against him as soon as he arrived. Moreover, even if he had the greatest courage, he wouldn't dare to openly oppose someone who was also the director of the Public Security Bureau, acting county head, and deputy secretary of the county party committee.

"Comrade, let's all be understanding. Can I make a call to Director Liu?" Li Jianmin didn't dare to make the decision on his own. Once the case file fell into Lin Ying's hands, things would get complicated.

Duan Fei didn't stop him, but looked at Li Jianmin. The latter picked up the phone, walked to the side, and quietly dialed Liu Yixiong's number.

On the phone, Liu Yixiong remained silent for a long time. This matter, Gao Lan's case, could not be avoided. Moreover, Lin Ying had just arrived, and if he immediately stopped cooperating, he would be accused of disobeying the new leader's orders, since Lin Ying was the top leader after all.

However, we can't hand it over so quickly. We must solidify the evidence first.

Thinking of this, Liu Yixiong gave a few more instructions, and Li Jianmin nodded repeatedly. He quickly turned around and walked to Duan Fei: "Comrade Duan Fei, please wait a few hours while we organize the case materials, add the new materials, and send them over this afternoon. Is that alright?"

Duan Fei frowned, about to say no, when suddenly his phone rang. He pressed the answer button: "Feed..."

After finishing the call, Duan Fei felt a sense of relief, a mysterious smile playing on his lips. He glanced at Li Jianmin, waved his hand, and said, "No need, Captain Li, see you later!" With that, he turned and left.

Li Jianmin paused slightly, somewhat puzzled. Just as he was about to say something, his phone rang: "Hello, Captain Li, where are you?"

"What's wrong?"

"Something's happened. The new Director Lin arranged for someone to take away the case file of Case 518."

"What? What are you all doing? Didn't we say that the case file could only be accessed with Director Liu's permission?"

"But they had Director Lin's access warrant, which had his signature on it. They came in and took the files right away; we didn't have time to react at all."

"Damn it, is this robbery?" Li Jianmin couldn't help but curse, but he immediately realized the seriousness of the matter. The evidence in Gao Lan's case was full of loopholes, and once it was investigated, the problem would be huge.

He rushed to the archives room, where Wang Wenzheng, the head of the archives department, was frowning. When he saw Li Jianmin arrive, he quickly stood up and said, "Captain Li, you've finally arrived. The case file of Gao Lan was taken away by the people sent by Director Lin."

Li Jianmin was so angry he wanted to curse. He knew very well that the other party had just used a feint, and had never intended to obtain the case file of Gao Lan through him. He quickly picked up the phone and dialed: "Hey, Director Liu, something's happened. Director Lin has taken away the case file of 518."

"Didn't you say you'd give it to me this afternoon? You can refine the evidence for the case a bit more." If there's nothing there, you can include it. As long as it's not a crucial clue, you don't need to worry about being investigated by higher-ups. Some evidence can be written more vaguely.

"Wang Wen said that Director Lin personally wrote the transfer order and sent people to take the case files directly from the archives."

"What?" Liu Yixiong jumped to his feet, so angry he almost threw his phone on the ground. What was Lin Ying up to? Was she playing him for a fool?

Liu Yixiong was furious. Even a powerful dragon can't suppress a local snake. Even if Lin Ying had an extremely powerful background, could she possibly snatch food from Liu Yixiong's mouth?!

Thinking of this, he quickly walked towards Lin Ying's office and soon knocked on the door. Knock...knock knock...knock knock knock... The knocking was somewhat urgent.

"Go in," Lin Ying's voice rang out.

With a creak, Liu Yixiong pushed open the door and strode to Lin Ying's desk. Lin Ying looked up at him, frowned, and asked, "Director Liu, what's going on here...?"

"Director Lin, the case file for Case 518 is incomplete, and the case is still under investigation, so..."

Before he could finish speaking, Lin Ying interrupted him: "It's alright, I just took a look. I know this case isn't closed yet. Perfect, we can discuss it together later. From now on, this case is transferred to me, and I want to investigate it personally."

Liu Yixiong's expression changed, and his heart started pounding.
