3: Chapter 3: Going fishing during work hours?

Fang Yihong did not say anything, turning instead to look at Luo Dichang.

"The preliminary forensic identification is suffocation. Criminal investigation scene surveys haven't found any suspicious clues yet, but I feel things aren't that simple."

"You feel that way too?" Fang Yihong looked at Zhu Zhipeng.

"Yes, Director."

As soon as Zhu Zhipeng finished speaking, Lu Chengze felt extremely awkward, wishing he could dig a hole and crawl into it.

Not far away, Sun Pangpang couldn't help but snicker upon seeing this, whispering a complaint.

"A rookie trying to steal the limelight in front of the Deputy Director—how embarrassing!"

A standby Police Officer nearby responded, "There's only one person in the entire station who dares to steal the limelight from Director Zhu, and that's the Heavenly God!"

"True, true."

At this moment, Fang Yihong asked again, "What does the Criminal Investigation side say?"

"The Criminal Investigation Detachment currently has two unsolved murder cases on their hands and is stretched thin. So, following the principle of 'less trouble is better than more,' they are more inclined to call it a suicide! But the Deputy Captain said that if we find this case suspicious, the Police Station can take it over. Director, what do you think??"

"Damn it! Isn't that just dumping their responsibilities??"

Fang Yihong cursed out loud.

After cursing, he glanced at the main office hall. Realizing he didn't see the person he was looking for, he immediately called out to Sun Pangpang.

"Sun Yuan!"

"Present!"

The two-hundred-pound Sun Pangpang stood up from his seat.

"Where's that guy who was playing games just now?"

Sun Pangpang replied directly, "Yang Tian... it seems he went fishing!"

"Fishing?"

Lu Chengze couldn't help but shout out again.

"Going fishing during work hours? This is simply outrageous!"

His words were filled with surprise and reprimand.

Luo Dichang, who was beside him, hurried to signal him to shut up.

However, Lu Chengze didn't care at all and complained further.

"Besides, he's just a Level 7 Assistant Police Officer with no professional ethics or sense of discipline. He's practically lawless! Someone like that doesn't deserve to be in the public security ranks!"

"..."

After he finished speaking, the scene fell into a deathly silence.

Only then did Lu Chengze realize something was wrong, but it was already too late.

Fang Yihong turned back to look at Lu Chengze. "This new comrade seems to have a lot of opinions about his colleague??"

Clearly sensing that the Director was siding with the other party, Lu Chengze immediately lowered his head.

"I... I wouldn't dare."

"If you wouldn't dare, then say less!" Zhu Zhipeng hurriedly smoothed things over.

"Yes, Master."

Lu Chengze shut his mouth.

Sun Pangpang then asked, "Director, should I call him back?"

"Call!"

"Go—"

Sun Pangpang was only halfway through saying 'Good'.

"Call for what! Let him fish. Let him fish as long as he wants, for however long he wants! Just don't forget to bring him food! Oh, remember to add a bottle of Coke, he loves it!"

"???" Although Lu Chengze's head was lowered, his eyes instantly widened in disbelief.

"You got it!" Sun Pangpang laughed.

Just as Fang Yihong was about to leave the office hall, he shouted to Sun Pangpang, "Remember to notify me when he gets back."

"Will do!"

After saying that, Fang Yihong shouted to Zhu Zhipeng again, "Don't accept this case yet. Wait until we hear his opinion!"

???

Lu Chengze's mouth hung open, thinking he had misheard!

A group of Police Officers listening to the opinion of an Assistant Police Officer??

Are you serious!!

Fang Yihong left after speaking, but before going, he told Luo Dichang to take Lu Chengze to get familiar with the station's environment and explain the station's rules while he was at it.

Luo Dichang took Lu Chengze into the station's meeting room.

"Our station has two rules."

"Rule number one: Abide by the People's Police Work Regulations!"

"Of course, that's not the most important one. The most important is rule number two!"

"Huh?"

Lu Chengze was dumbfounded. There was something more important than rule number one?

"What's the second rule?"

"Rule number two: Never offend Yang Tian!"

"Yang Tian? Who is he?"

"Uh..." Luo Dichang said speechlessly, "He's the one you called lawless."

"Ah!!"

Lu Chengze suddenly remembered.

A few hours ago, Deputy Director Zhu Zhipeng had suggested making Yang Tian his master.

Now that he thought about it, it was truly incredible!!

After all, having an Assistant Police Officer who played games and went fishing on duty—and was about the same age as him—as his master was indeed uncomfortable and embarrassing to talk about.

He said in utter shock, "Officer Luo, does this Yang Tian have some incredible background? Why are you and the leaders so afraid of him??"

"Afraid?"

Luo Dichang smiled. "We don't call it fear; we call it respect!"

"Respect?"

Lu Chengze was truly puzzled.

"What's there to respect about a Level 7 Assistant Police Officer?"

"What's wrong with a Level 7 Assistant Police Officer??"

Luo Dichang said with some displeasure, "Do you see the honors on this wall??"

Lu Chengze looked up.

"Collective Third-Class Merit, Collective Second-Class Merit, Advanced Unit!"

He looked at the dates; they were all from 2025.

"Holy crap, Officer Luo! You guys are amazing! Three commendations in one year!"

Luo Dichang said proudly, "Impressive, right!"

"Mhm, mhm."

"It's all thanks to one person!"

"Who?"

"Yang Tian!!"

"Holy crap!"

Lu Chengze was stunned once more. "An Assistant Police Officer? How is that possible!!"

"Why is it impossible?"

Luo Dichang pointed at the wall.

"The Collective Third-Class Merit was because our station successfully busted an underground casino operating in an abandoned factory! The lead was provided by Yang Tian!"

"And this Collective Second-Class Merit is even more incredible. Yang Tian went up the mountain alone to infiltrate a drug den, filmed evidence of drug manufacturing, assisted the Police Station in seizing fifty kilograms of drugs, and captured ten drug manufacturers!"

Lu Chengze was completely dumbfounded!

That actually works??

——

By the Yu Cheng River.

Yang Tian had been fishing from the morning until 6:00 PM.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for slacking off by fishing during work hours. You have gained 50 salted fish points!"

"Current Progress: 50/1000"

He packed up his rod and returned to the station.

When Fang Yihong saw him, he glanced at the watch on his wrist and said with a grin, "You're back. Have you eaten?"

"No!" Yang Tian shook his head.

Fang Yihong immediately said with concern, "Then you've missed the meal time! Hurry out and get something to eat! Come back and I'll reimburse you!"

Yang Tian stretched and asked, "No limit?"

"No limit. Eat as much as you can, as much as you want. Just remember not to waste it."

"Got it!"

Yang Ming placed the fishing rod and other tools into Fang Yihong's hands.

"Put them in my room!"

After saying that, he left the Police Station.

The next second.

A police car drove in from outside.

Another Police Officer on duty, Wu Bowei, got out of the car with two Assistant Police Officers and said to Fang Yihong with a grin, "Director, we missed our meal because of a call. You see..."

"Missed what! It's only a bit past 6:00 PM. The cafeteria has food saved for you. It'll go to waste if you don't eat it!"

"Uh... I just saw the Heavenly God go out too!"

"Can you be compared to him?"

Wu Bowei hurriedly shook his head. "No!"
