He had just married a policewoman when he was diagnosed with criminal genius.

Jiangbei City, Public Security Bureau.

In the conference room.

Wang Feng entered the office yawning.

"Old Ding, what's so important that you sent us to headquarters? If it's nothing important, you'll see if I don't turn against you."

"That's right, Lao Ding, you know we're all busy with that gang of thieves in Jiangbei City. Speak your mind, get to the point, we have to get back to work after we're done."

"Hey, Xiao Lu and Xiao Jiang, what brings you here too?"

"What kind of meeting is Old Ding holding? He even called Xiao Lu over."

Several branch bureau chiefs greeted Lu Chen and Jiang Xue warmly.

But when facing Ding Jianguo, he's a completely different story.

Recently, the Yuhua District Branch where Ding Jianguo and his colleagues work has been making headlines.

So everyone was holding their breath.

They wanted to dismantle a thief's den in this mission to avenge their previous defeat.

"Say something," another bureau chief frowned. "We're swamped with cases over there, we don't have time to waste here with you."

Ding Jianguo took a sip of tea and still smiled.

There was a hint of smugness in that smile.

The bureau chiefs exchanged glances, their hearts sinking.

broken.

Judging from that expression, I hope this old guy doesn't try to show off again.

The same thing happened last time.

Ding Jianguo grinned like a weasel that had stolen a chicken.

As a result, the Yuhua District Branch cracked a major gambling case and stole the show at the system-wide conference.

This is the same old trick again.

The conference room door was pushed open.

Zheng Gong walked in, looking tired and with messy hair, clearly indicating that he hadn't slept well for several days.

"Everyone's here?" Zheng Gong glanced around, saw Lu Chen, and nodded. "Little Lu and Little Jiang are here too."

Zheng Gong was puzzled as to why Lu Chen and Jiang Xue were here.

But he didn't say anything.

He believed that Ding Jianguo must have had his reasons for bringing them here.

Lu Chen and Jiang Xue stood up and called out, "Director Zheng."

Zheng Gong waved his hand, gesturing for them to sit down.

Then he looked at Ding Jianguo:

"Alright, get to the point. I'm being driven crazy by those pickpockets these past few days. The city leaders are asking about the progress every day. If we can't solve the case soon, I'm afraid my position as bureau chief will have to be replaced."

Ding Jianguo put down his teacup and calmly cleared his throat.

"Director Zheng, don't worry."

"How can I not be anxious? You're just talking without any sense of the situation."

"I mean," Ding Jianguo paused, his smile widening, "you don't need to rush anymore."

The meeting room fell silent.

Zheng Gong stared at him: "What do you mean?"

Ding Jianguo slowly began, "We've found the hideout of that gang of pickpockets who's been acting so arrogantly lately."

The air froze for two seconds.

Then it exploded.

"What?!"

"Really?"

"Old Ding, you're not kidding, are you?"

All four branch bureau chiefs stood up.

Zheng Gong almost dropped the cigarette in his hand.

The meeting room was in complete chaos.

Some were shocked, some didn't believe it, and some looked at Ding Jianguo with extremely complicated expressions.

envious.

I'm so fucking envious.

Why do all the good things happen to the Yuhua District Police Station?

They've been investigating this case for almost half a month, but they still haven't found a clue.

The media criticizes them every day, the leaders urge them every day, and the people below work overtime every day, but they still haven't even caught a glimpse of that group.

As a result, Ding Jianguo solved the case without making a sound.

No wonder this old guy was in such a hurry to come to the meeting.

Anyone would be anxious in this situation. If you're even a little bit late for something like this, the credit won't be yours.

Zheng Gong came to his senses and finally showed his first smile of the week.

"Great! Excellent!"

He slapped the table, his voice trembling with excitement.

"Old Ding, you've done a fantastic job! This case is solved, and I'll personally go to the city to recommend you for commendation!"

"No, no, no, Director Zheng, please don't get agitated." Ding Jianguo quickly waved his hand.

"How could I not be excited? This case has been dragging on for half a month. Do you know how I've been doing these past two weeks?"

"I know, I know." Ding Jianguo smiled, then his playful expression turned serious. "But Director Zheng, there's something I need to clarify first."

"you say."

"Actually, this has little to do with our police station."

Zheng Gong was stunned: "What do you mean?"

Ding Jianguo looked at Lu Chen in the corner.

"It's mainly Lu Chen."

All eyes turned to Lu Chen.

Lu Chen remained calm under everyone's gaze: "I was just lucky; I discovered it by accident."

Ding Jianguo nodded beside him, his smile growing even more smug.

Zheng Gong frowned: "Tell me, what happened?"

Lu Chen scratched the back of his head: "Actually, there's nothing special about it."

"That day I went to deliver food to Jiang Xue."

……

There was a three-second silence in the conference room.

Then it exploded.

"You can uncover a theft ring just by delivering food?" A branch police chief slammed his fist on the table. "What kind of incredible luck is this!"

"Luck is one thing, ability is another," another bureau chief said. "Xiao Lu, you went and followed three pickpockets all by yourself, aren't you incredibly bold?"

Lu Chen smiled and said, "Actually, it's not just tracking."

"What do you mean?"

"I stole back what they had stolen."

The meeting room fell silent again.

"What did you say?" Wang Feng's eyes widened.

"After the three men finished stealing the goods, they were about to divide the loot when I pretended to ask for directions. While they weren't looking, I took the stolen goods back."

Upon hearing this, the bureau chiefs couldn't help but feel worried for Lu Chen.

These three are professional pickpockets.

Lu Chen actually thought of stealing the money back from them.

The key point is that Lu Chen actually succeeded without making a sound.

What kind of theft technique is this?

While asking for directions, they stole the belongings of three highly nervous pickpockets.

The other party was completely unaware.

Zheng Gong was curious as to why Lu Chen was able to succeed.

Ding Jianguo explained this point on behalf of Lu Chen.

After listening to Ding Jianguo's explanation.

Everyone felt that it seemed quite reasonable.

"and then?"

"Then they discovered the bag was missing."

"..."

After hearing Lu Chen's part, everyone gasped in shock.

"You're incredibly audacious! Do you know what will happen if you're discovered?" Director Wang Feng said.

"Yes, you actually dared to go back."

"Using this tactic to infiltrate the enemy? Brilliant, absolutely brilliant."

"What our entire Jiangbei City Police Department couldn't do, Xiao Lu did."

"The most important thing is Xiao Lu's skills, which earned the other party's approval."

The people here looked at Lu Chen with increasing satisfaction.

It's like looking at an absolutely stunning beauty.

Who wouldn't love a young person who is lucky, courageous, and capable?

"Where is that den of thieves?" Zheng Gong asked.

"It's in the West City Logistics Park," Lu Chen paused, "there's a warehouse there."

Zheng Gong asked anxiously, "Quickly tell me what's inside?"

Lu Chen repeated it again.

"Yes, this size is definitely the den of thieves we've been searching for."

"It definitely is."

"Haha, I never thought that what I was looking for would come to me so easily."
