36: The inspection team came to our door, something happened?

Damn it, if I had known, why would I have fought for it? What was there to contend for?

A kilogram!

This is a major drug trafficking case; the merit is immense. This isn't something a Police Station or a single department can handle. If you can't handle it, what's the point of fighting over it?

Zheng Yongnian's face lit up with joy as he leaned towards Gao Dawen. "Director, a kilogram is a major drug trafficking case. The City hasn't had such a big case in two years. This year, our chances for 'Outstanding' are looking good."

Hearing this, Gao Dawen and Zheng Yongnian exchanged glances and couldn't help but laugh. However, seeing the group of people below, Gao Dawen quickly suppressed his laughter, returning to his previous stern expression, though the corners of his mouth still couldn't help but turn up.

He motioned for the officer on duty to leave first, then continued speaking, "As everyone just heard, this is a major drug trafficking case. Next, we must use this as an opportunity to dig deeper. We must uncover the drug trafficking routes and the upstream and downstream connections behind it, and thoroughly crack the case."

"The Criminal Investigation Brigade will take the lead on this, with the Criminal Investigation Team assisting. Xiao Ye, you should also participate."

"Old Xie, your Baiyun Police Station is usually quite busy, so you don't need to participate in the follow-up. Just focus on your regular duties."

"Yes," everyone quickly responded, as the leader had already assigned tasks.

"I'm going to call the Municipal Bureau leaders now to report this situation." Gao Dawen's eyebrows couldn't hide his happiness as he picked up his notebook and went to call the Municipal Bureau to report.

This was a night of harvest. Yu Haifeng and Xie Changkun, who had just been at loggerheads, genuinely and happily shook hands... Ye Lin didn't have complex, specific interrogation work; he was there to assist. The main work was handled by the Branch Bureau's personnel.

Early the next morning, as soon as the Police Station staff came to work, they surrounded Ye Lin. Xie Changkun was a leader, so it wasn't appropriate to question Chief Xie.

"How was it? Did Chief Xie and Team Leader Yu fight last night?" The most gossipy was He Xinmin, who was also Ye Lin's master, so he asked without restraint.

Ye Lin's face was full of black lines. "Master, what are you thinking? I feel like you really want them to fight."

"No, no, I was just guessing. Hurry up and tell us what happened last night. Everyone's waiting."

"That's right, I didn't sleep a wink last night. It was my first time participating in such a big operation, and I even carried a gun." He Wenyan, the older sister, had two dark circles under her eyes, but her excitement was hard to conceal.

"Sister He, I think you were so excited that you tormented your Old Wang again, hahahaha." A few old police officers started telling dirty jokes.

"Get lost!"

After joking for a while, everyone's gaze turned back to Ye Lin.

"Well, actually, nothing much happened last night. Director Gao held a very gentle meeting with us, smiling very happily," Ye Lin said.

"I'd believe a ghost before I'd believe you. Don't we know Director Gao's temper? He's famous for getting angry at the slightest thing," Zhang Degen was the first to refute.

"Exactly, look at Director Gao's face last night, it was as dark as Bao Heizi."

"Yeah, if it weren't for so many people watching yesterday, I feel like Director Gao would have wanted to kick him a couple of times."

"Xiao Ye, you should be honest. You can't lie."

Ye Lin smiled at everyone, and after they finished complaining, he slowly said:

"Last night, a kilogram of white powder was counted."

"What do you mean? We're talking about Director Gao scolding people. Why are you bringing this up?" He Wenyan said, dissatisfied.

"Wait, how much?" Zhang Degen grabbed Ye Lin.

"Just a kilogram, didn't he just say so?" He Wenyan looked at Zhang Degen, puzzled.

Zhang Degen let out a strange cry,

"Aww!"

"Hahahahaha! A major, a major drug trafficking case, hahahahaha."

Everyone present looked at each other, staring at Zhang Degen as if he were an idiot.

"Is Team Leader Zhang crazy?"

"Not crazy, just happy. Do you know what a kilogram of heroin means?" He Xinmin said, looking mysterious.

"A kilogram, 1000 grams, two catties of meat."

"You only know how to eat. This is heroin. Over a kilogram is a major case, and the merit is huge. Director Gao is too happy to even scold anyone. What's there to scold?"

"Huh?" Everyone was astonished.

To be honest, although they were all police officers, they usually handled public order cases, at most fights. They really didn't have much experience with drug cases.

"So, this is a huge merit, and we'll get bonuses again this year?"

"Hehe, the bonus will probably be a lot. This is all thanks to my good apprentice." He Xinmin looked smug.

But at this moment, no one found him annoying. There was money, real bonuses! If he wanted to show off, then let him.

"Xiao Ye is awesome!!!"

"Senior Apprentice Ye is mighty!!!"

In the hall, Ye Lin was surrounded and praised by everyone, almost being lauded to the heavens.

"Alright, is no one going to work?" Xie Changkun walked out with a smile, playfully scolding them a few times.

Everyone didn't mind, didn't they see that Chief Xie's mouth was so happy it couldn't close?

Just as everyone was immersed in joy, three people in sharp police uniforms walked in through the door, looking serious. The one leading them wore the rank of First Class Police Superintendent, a high rank.

"Which Comrade is Ye Lin?" The leader asked directly as soon as he entered.

"Section Chief Ling, what brings you here?" Xie Changkun greeted him, shaking hands warmly with the newcomer.

"Chief Xie, you know what I do. I'm here for Comrade Ye Lin, and I ask for Chief Xie's cooperation."

"Cooperation, we will definitely cooperate with the supervisory work," Xie Changkun replied decisively.

Supervisory Brigade?

Isn't this the Branch Bureau's department specifically for finding trouble?

They are incredibly difficult to deal with. The station had received complaints before, and as soon as there was a complaint, these Supervisory Brigade members would start investigating whether there was torture to extract confessions, whether there was abuse, or whether procedures were not followed during law enforcement.

They would turn you inside out. And when arresting people, how can one always be polite? As long as there was a complaint, they would inevitably be criticized.

They were known for 'stripping green skins' (police officers).

It made everyone try to be as gentle as possible when arresting people now, no shouting, no fuss. They would go in, make the arrest, and leave, fearing any dispute with the suspect that might lead to another complaint.

In short, this was a very annoying brigade.

Everyone looked at Ye Lin with pity. This guy must have offended someone and been complained about. Now, even if he didn't die, he'd at least lose a layer of skin.

Ye Lin himself was also confused, as he didn't seem to have violated any rules.

Xie Changkun gently pulled Ling Zhao aside, asking with a fawning smile:

"Section Chief Ling, is there some misunderstanding? Our Xiao Ye just cracked a major case yesterday and was also injured. There's no reason to investigate him, is there?"

Ling Zhao was unyielding, his face showing no emotion. "Chief Xie, you should know the rules. If there's a complaint, we have to deal with it. As long as there's no problem, we won't wrong him either."
