Reborn in the 60s, I hunt to support my family and even seduce the village beauty.

"Bang!"

Commissioner Geng tumbled and crashed into the armchair behind him.

The chair overturned and crashed to the floor with a loud bang.

"This is outrageous!! How dare he hit me! Beat him up, beat him to death!"

"Fuck you, I'll kick you to death!"

Chaos erupted in the interrogation room.

People were cursing, fighting, and trying to break up the fight, all crowding together.

"Enough! All of you, stop it right now!"

Director Yu had never encountered such a situation before. He roared and stopped everyone.

"Split them in two! Whoever lays a hand on you gets handcuffed!"

Chang Kun watched with great interest from the back; it was truly a good show.

This Edison Chen is a real man; an ordinary worker, yet he dared to beat up a department-level cadre.

In other words, these days workers have high social status, while leaders have little authority.

If this happened in later generations, and an ordinary worker assaulted a county or district head? They'd be buried somewhere long ago!

After separating the two parties, Director Yu turned to Chen Guanxi and said, "Young comrade, you fought back too, shouldn't you have vented your anger now?"

Chen Guanxi retorted, "Relieving anger? This isn't about venting anger. You police beat me up for ages, you can't just let it go like this, can you? Today you'll either find out I stole food coupons, or you'll be accused of murder!"

Damn it, my handsome face is almost ruined. I touched my cheek and the corner of my eye, and it burned with pain!

We can't let them get away with this easily!

Frowning, Director Yu turned to Commissioner Geng: "Little Geng?!"

This subordinate did a terrible job!

He got covered in mud too, what bad luck!

Commissioner Geng's face was gloomy. He had already apologized to Edison Chen, what more did he want?

But with his superior present, he could only say, "Comrade Chen, I've already apologized to you, but you're still not satisfied. How about I, as a personal person, offer you some compensation?"

"Pooh!"

Spitting out a mouthful of bloody saliva, Chen Guanxi sneered, "Who cares about your filthy money! You're not the only one arbitrarily arresting people at the grain station! This kind of disregard for human life, shouldn't the organization have some kind of procedure for punishment?"

For Commissioner Geng, losing money is nothing; the real punishment is to make him lose power within the organization.

Upon hearing this, Commissioner Geng's expression changed drastically. This Edison Chen had hit his weak spot right off the bat!

Before he could speak, Director Yu waved his hand and said, "Comrade Chen, don't worry, the organization will handle this matter. We will also send a copy to the grain station later."

Making him lose face here while the case makes no progress is a good thing; this Xiao Geng absolutely cannot be let off lightly.

Upon hearing this, Commissioner Geng's face turned ashen, his legs went weak, and he glared at Chen Guanxi with venom.

Edison Chen wasn't about to let him get away with it; he grinned smugly.

"Alright, that's enough about this matter. Next, we need to focus all our efforts on tracking down the missing grain coupons!" Director Yu glanced at everyone present, ready to begin assigning tasks.

At this moment, Director Wang glanced at Chang Kun and received an approving look from him.

She stepped forward and said, "Director Yu, I am the director of Gulou Subdistrict Office. I have important leads."

Director Yu's eyes lit up. Since he entered the grain station, he had only encountered absurd and troublesome things, but now he finally heard the first piece of good news.

"Hello, hello, any leads? Oh... anyone not involved, get out, and keep your mouths shut!"

After everyone else left the temporary interrogation room, Director Wang spoke up: "This is Chang Kun. He's the one who arrested four enemy agents a while ago."

"Oh! I've heard of you, a young prodigy! That kid Shi Yulong has made quite a name for himself because of those four enemy agents!"

Director Yu smiled and stepped forward to shake hands with Chang Kun.

"Hello Director Yu, actually, I already know where the grain coupons are hidden."

Chang Kun's words shocked everyone present.

In this case, the grain coupons are the most important thing. As long as the grain coupons are found, the rest of the work is fine. Catching the thief is good, but even if we don't catch him, it's not a big deal.

However, if they only catch the thieves but can't find the food stamps, most of their achievements will be wiped out.

Commissioner Geng's nose was sore from being kicked by Chen Guanxi, and blood was slowly flowing from it. He glared at Chang Kun through gritted teeth.

You knew where the food coupons were hidden, why didn't you say so sooner?

I was foolish enough to interrogate Edison Chen; it was a trap!

"Where are they? Where are the grain coupons?" Director Yu asked urgently.

"Director Yu, let me keep you in suspense for a moment. You wouldn't expect to find that place. I'm even planning to use food coupons to lure the thieves out."

"Oh dear! Grain coupons are the most important thing. If we find the grain coupons, we've succeeded eight or nine out of ten. The rest of the thieves are irrelevant."

Director Yu stepped forward and put his arm around Chang Kun's shoulder: "Come on, let's seize the grain coupons first, and then catch the other thieves slowly."

Nodding helplessly, Chang Kun took the lead and walked out.

The leaders had different priorities; they wanted to ensure people's livelihood and stability first, and whether the person who stole the food coupons was a big thief or an insider wouldn't affect the overall situation.

Just as Chang Kun reached the halfway point to the dry toilet, he suddenly sensed a criminal slowly approaching the toilet from outside the grain station wall.

Outside the outhouse was a small patch of wasteland where no one ever came and went. Anyone approaching the outhouse at this time must be a ghost!

"Let's go, hurry! Outside the wall!"

Chang Kun didn't dare to delay, so he rushed to the bike shed, got on his bicycle, and sped off.

The remaining Director Yu, Director Wang, Station Chief Liang, and Commissioner Geng, seeing the urgency of the situation, grabbed any unlocked bicycles from the bike shed and followed Chang Kun closely.

After circling the grain station, Chang Kun arrived at the septic tank outside the dry toilet wall.

The others behind them also stopped their cars, staring in disbelief at the scene before them.

In the sweltering heat of summer, a man was dressed in several layers of tattered clothes, looking like a high-ranking elder of the Beggars' Sect.

Most importantly, his legs were already submerged in the septic tank, and his hands were groping downwards for something.

"Get up here! Get up here!"

Chang Kun kept his distance from the stench and called out to the people in the septic tank.

This person is the criminal I sensed.

The other officials, including Director Yu, were all veteran comrades who had experienced many struggles, and they immediately sensed something was wrong when they saw this situation.

What kind of good person would go and fish something out of the septic tank behind the outhouse?

"Get up here right now, or I'll force you to eat a few mouthfuls of shit before I let you up!"

Director Yu is a ruthless old man; he used his trump card right from the start.

The people in the septic tank were terrified when they saw so many people coming so aggressively.

After a moment of stunned silence, he slowly climbed out of the septic tank, his face contorted with a mournful expression, and asked, "Who are you? What do you want?"

Director Yu fanned himself under his nose and asked, "What are you doing in there?"

"I...didn't do anything..."

Eager to make a good impression, Commissioner Geng approached the man, ignoring the man's foul stench, and spoke with righteous indignation.

"I saw you hiding something in the septic tank! I finally caught you!"

Everyone present was speechless. They all realized that what the person had hidden in the septic tank was probably grain coupons, but no one was as shameless as Commissioner Geng, who insisted that he was the one who had arrested the person.

"Are the grain coupons hidden down there?" Director Yu couldn't stand it anymore and asked the most crucial question.

The man initially tried to deny it, but Director Yu threatened him: "Are you sure you want to keep arguing? Why don't you go rinse your mouth before you speak?"

"Yes, the grain coupons are hidden underneath, wrapped in tarpaulin." The man dared not utter another word, fearing he would be thrown into the septic tank and forced to drink some soup.

"Good!!" Director Yu exclaimed excitedly, clenching his fist and swinging his arm violently in the air.

"Chang Kun, you live up to your reputation! Well done!"

Everyone present was excited; the man and the stolen goods were recovered simultaneously, and the case was completely solved.

Commissioner Geng laughed heartily a few times: "Finally caught you! I've been looking for you for so long!"

Seeing Commissioner Geng's smug look, Director Yu recalled the scene where he had arbitrarily arrested and beat people, making him lose face.

"Xiao Geng, now that the thief has been caught, there's still stolen goods to be recovered. As the person in charge of this case, you'll be in charge of handling the goods yourself."

Director Geng: "Huh?"

Personally handling the goods? What does that mean?

He looked down at the septic tank, then looked up at Director Yu.

He held up his index finger and pointed it at his own nose.

"Go down and retrieve the grain coupons?"

"I?"
