37: Did you know he takes drugs?

With that, Ling Zhao no longer paid attention to Xie Changkun and walked straight to Ye Lin. Everyone's eyes had been on this young man just now, so he should be the target.

“You are Ye Lin, right?”

“Yes, I am Police Officer Ye Lin from Baiyun Police Station.”

“I am Ling Zhao from the Supervisory Brigade of the Xishan District Police Department, and these are my colleagues Shen Tianhua and Yao Guoliang.” Ling Zhao introduced himself in a businesslike manner.

“We received a report about some issues during yesterday’s arrest, and we need you to come back with us to cooperate with the investigation. Please cooperate.”

Ye Lin was a little confused. What problems could there be with arresting Brother Yong last night?

He had a clear conscience, so he would cooperate.

Ye Lin followed Ling Zhao and got into the Branch Bureau’s car.

The Baiyun Police Station, however, was in an uproar.

“Station Chief, what’s going on?”

“We all participated in the operation last night, so why is Xiao Ye the only one in trouble?”

“Exactly, if there’s trouble, we should all be in trouble together.”

“Damn it, how would I know? I’ll call Old Zheng.” Xie Changkun was completely confused and didn't understand what the problem was, so he could only contact Zheng Yongnian.

But in a moment, Xie Changkun came out with a long face, “Old Zheng said the situation is quite special and inconvenient to discuss.”

“Damn it, is the Branch Bureau being unreasonable? We just solved such a big case, and they just randomly arrest people for questioning?”

“Exactly, who would dare to charge forward in the future?”

Xie Changkun stomped his foot and shouted, “Alright, stop arguing, I’m going to the Branch Bureau to see. Instructor, you hold down the fort.”

With that, he got into his jeep and sped off towards the Branch Bureau... Xishan Branch Bureau.

“Knock, knock, knock” came a knock on the door.

“Come in.”

Xie Changkun entered Gao Dawen’s room, bowing.

Seeing Xie Changkun like this, Gao Dawen waved him to sit down before he could even speak.

“You’re here for Ye Lin, aren’t you?”

“Yes, Director Gao, the Police Station is in an uproar. The Comrades are very emotional.”

“I told you, don’t keep saying ‘Comrades, Comrades’ all the time, it sounds like a gang. It should be ‘Comrades’.”

Xie Changkun gave a wry smile, “Director Gao, never mind ‘Comrades’ or ‘Comrades’, everyone has a lot of opinions right now.”

“You’re talking about a hero who just led everyone to solve a case and receive an award, and you’ve arrested him. How can people not be resentful?”

“Xie Changkun, watch your tone. As law enforcement officers, cooperating with the Supervisory Brigade is our duty and discipline!”

Gao Dawen’s tone became stern, and Xie Changkun looked like he wanted to speak but held back.

Seeing Xie Changkun’s obvious defiance, Gao Dawen snorted coldly, “The Supervisory Brigade investigating Xiao Ye was with my approval. Do you think I’m senile? Am I foolish?”

Xie Changkun stiffened his neck, about to retort, but seeing Gao Dawen’s menacing gaze, he backed down.

“Hmph! Good thing you know your place, otherwise I’d suspend you.”

Xie Changkun looked indignant, but with nowhere to vent his frustration, he just tilted his head and sulked.

“You think I’m being unreasonable, right? Fine, let me ask you a few questions to see how much you know about Ye Lin.”

“First, do you know Ye Lin’s family background?”

“Yes, it’s in his file. His father is a doctor, and his mother is unemployed.”

“What about his daily life? Does he spend lavishly? Does he have any unexplained sources of income?”

Xie Changkun pondered for a moment, “No, Xiao Ye is very good. He lives in the dormitory with Lin Xianfeng, who just joined. Although he doesn't look very upright, his life is very simple. I even offered him Bailianhua cigarettes, and he smoked them. He’s just like a child from an ordinary family.”

“At most, there was a rumor at the Police Station once that he was gay, but that was later confirmed to be a rumor.”

Xie Changkun became more and more confused as he spoke, “No, Director Gao, what exactly do you mean by all this?”

Gao Dawen glanced at him and continued, “Then do you think he could come up with a million yuan?”

“How could he? He’s just a young man who just started working.”

“Then could you come up with it?”

“Director Gao, don’t scare me. You know what my salary is. If it weren’t for some bonuses, I wouldn’t even be able to pay my mortgage, let alone a million yuan. I’d be grateful for twenty thousand.”

“Heh heh.” Gao Dawen sneered twice, “Then I ask you, where did the one million yuan in cash for the drug deal come from?”

“It was fake, I told Xiao Ye that fake money would be fine. In the dim lighting of the bar, who could see clearly?”

“Are you sure?”

“Of course, I’m 100% sure.” Xie Changkun patted his chest and said.

“Sure my ass!” Gao Dawen suddenly raised his voice, “That one million yuan in cash was real, real money that couldn’t be any more real!”

“What?!!!”

Xie Changkun was dumbfounded.

“No, is there a mistake? Was it swapped?”

“Swapped? You swap me a million yuan then.” Gao Dawen said irritably.

“Alright, you don’t know about the money. Then let me ask you again, does Ye Lin have any bad habits?”

“Huh? This?” Xie Changkun was suddenly a little unsure after the money issue.

“This... it seems not, actually Xiao Ye has only been here for a few days, and he’s been busy all the time. I really haven’t had time to understand his moods.”

Xie Changkun was so frustrated. He calculated that Ye Lin had only been here for less than a week. He really hadn’t had time to learn about such personal hobbies.

Besides, he hadn't seen him playing games or anything like that.

“Director Gao, you know how young people are these days. Sometimes it’s normal for them to play games or something. Ye Lin has just started working, and he might not be adapting well. Is it possible he was playing on his phone during duty? I will definitely educate him!”

Xie Changkun didn’t think much of it. What kind of bad habits could there be? For a grassroots police officer, it’s normal to play on their phone when they have some free time.

This kind of complaint wasn't a one-time thing. The public always felt that police officers should always be on duty, but they are human too, and sometimes their minds need a break.

Especially in a place like a Police Station, if people come to do business and you don’t treat them well, or your attitude is bad, or your answers aren’t detailed enough, they’ll file a complaint.

There’s no way around it; almost everyone who’s worked at the Police Station for a while has been complained about.

So he kept thinking that Ye Lin had been complained about by someone.

Gao Dawen stared intently at Xie Changkun, not saying a word, which made Xie Changkun’s heart pound. Then he slowly said, “Then do you know if Ye Lin uses drugs?”

“What?” Xie Changkun couldn't quite believe his ears.

“Director Gao, are you saying drugs? Heroin?” He asked again, because he really couldn't imagine why Ye Lin would be linked to drug use.

In his opinion, these were two completely unrelated things.

“Yes, drug use, heroin use.”

“Impossible!” Xie Changkun suddenly jumped up from his chair, “That’s definitely a false accusation, Director Gao, this is absolutely a false accusation!!!”
