10: Koi is alive, it is clear that people are smart

In the officialdom, understanding how to divide the cake is not a profound knowledge; everyone knows it, but few can achieve it because touching interests is harder than touching the soul.

Zhou Weiguo and Shen Gang understood.

Actually, if Gao Ze took the one million, they couldn't say anything, but most of the Traffic Police and Criminal Police Brigade personnel would be uncomfortable and would ostracize Gao Ze.

Over the years, the police force has contributed greatly, even if not always with glorious achievements. Why should all the honor and benefits go to Gao Ze alone?

Now that Gao Ze has divided the cake, both police brigades, including them, will instead owe him a favor and remember his kindness.

Gao Ze is absolutely a shrewd person!

Someone like him is naturally suited for officialdom.

Sun Chaohui was also a shrewd person; as a wealthy man in Donghai City, he instantly understood Gao Ze's meaning and chuckled, “Officer Gao, you are right, you reminded me.”

“My son, Sun Shuai, was found, which is inseparable from your efforts and the police's contributions over the years.

Therefore, I am willing to give you two hundred thousand as a reward, and the remaining eight hundred thousand will be donated to your Pudong District Public Security Bureau to purchase additional police equipment and patrol cars.”

Many people don't know.

In fact, police forces or public security bureaus do accept social donations; for example, companies and wealthy individuals often donate patrol cars, police equipment, and so on.

When these companies experience safety incidents, the police force and the bureau often pay close attention.

At the same time, this also provides a layer of protection, deterring those criminal organizations from targeting them.

Sun Chaohui clearly understood this rule: two hundred thousand of the one million would be given to Gao Ze in cash, and eight hundred thousand would be donated to the entire Pudong District Public Security Bureau in the form of police supplies.

Two hundred thousand in reward!

Gao Ze's eyes narrowed; this amount was also very generous, more than the hundred thousand he had originally expected, and it just wouldn't make people envious. Sun Chaohui had put thought into it.

With two hundred thousand, he should be able to change his living environment.

A three-bedroom apartment, so Li Qingyan could also move in.

After all, Li Qingyan was his legal wife, and she didn't seem to object.

“Then, on behalf of our Pudong Public Security Bureau and our Traffic Police Brigade, I thank Mr. Sun for his generous donation.”

Zhou Weiguo smiled broadly, turning to Shen Gang and saying, “Old Shen, Gao Ze is one of us, and finding Sun Shuai was mainly his achievement. If this batch of police supplies comes in, our Traffic Police Brigade will definitely get the lion's share.”

“Our Traffic Police Brigade happens to be short on a batch of police motorcycles and patrol cars!”

As Zhou Weiguo spoke, the people at the Traffic Police Center looked at Gao Ze with much softer eyes.

Two hundred thousand would make people envious, but not to the point of jealousy, especially since the Traffic Police Brigade would certainly get the largest share of Sun Chaohui's donated police supplies.

The patrol cars and police motorcycles they would ride in the future might all be thanks to Gao Ze's efforts. Who would still harbor resentment?

“Your Traffic Police Brigade can take it all!”

Watching Zhou Weiguo's smug expression, Shen Gang wished he could punch the guy in the face. Sun Shuai was found by Gao Ze, and he had no reason, nor was it necessary, to fight over the eight hundred thousand in police supplies.

The Criminal Police Brigade's conditions were much better than the Traffic Police's.

But today, he had completely lost face.

If there was a meeting at the bureau, he would inevitably be teased by various departments.

The dignified Criminal Police Brigade, responsible for investigating criminal cases and various serious cases, the fugitive Liu Yaozong, and the Sun Shuai kidnapping case, were all solved by Gao Ze, a Traffic Police officer.

Is this reasonable?

It made his Criminal Police Brigade seem like it had no one capable.

“Then I won't be polite!”

Zhou Weiguo laughed heartily; today, he had finally straightened his back. But suddenly, he heard Shen Gang say coldly, “Old Zhou, I want to borrow Gao Ze for a bit.”

“Borrow him? What are you scheming?”

Zhou Weiguo's smile abruptly stopped, and he instantly became wary. Was this fellow Shen Gang trying to snatch his man?

If he couldn't beat Gao Ze, he'd snatch him!

“It's nothing, just about Liu Yaozong's case!”

Shen Gang looked at Gao Ze and said, “Liu Yaozong was wanted by us for murdering his mistress's family of four.

But when our Criminal Police Brigade investigated, we didn't find his mistress Xu Xiaoli's body at the crime scene. We suspect Xu Xiaoli might not be dead and was hidden by Liu Yaozong.”

“Then why do you need to borrow Gao Ze?”

Zhou Weiguo remained vigilant.

“Our interrogation of Liu Yaozong is useless; he simply won't speak. He acts like a dead pig unafraid of boiling water, as if he doesn't care about having more murder charges on him.”

Shen Gang said, “I'm thinking, since Liu Yaozong was arrested by Gao Ze, if Gao Ze interrogates Liu Yaozong, might there be a chance to pry open Liu Yaozong's mouth, and have a special effect?”

“Is that so!” Zhou Weiguo, hearing that it involved the results of a criminal interrogation, couldn't help but ponder, then asked Gao Ze, “Borrowing him like this is fine, Gao Ze, what do you think?”

“I am willing to cooperate with Shen Team to interrogate Liu Yaozong!”

Liu Yaozong might still be involved in a living person's fate, so Gao Ze agreed without hesitation.

“Then you go to the Criminal Police Brigade!”

After Zhou Weiguo instructed him, his gaze remained fixed on Shen Gang, saying, “Old Shen, I'm warning you, don't get any crooked ideas in your head!”

“What crooked ideas could I have? The whole bureau knows I, Shen Gang, am a brute; I'm all about being straightforward and never playing dirty tricks.”

After getting permission, Shen Gang smiled and waved to Zhou Weiguo, then immediately pulled Gao Ze downstairs, leaving the Traffic Police Center and walking towards the Criminal Police building.

Zhou Weiguo watched their retreating figures, and a bad feeling instantly arose in his heart.

Could that brute really have a crooked idea?

Five or six minutes later.

Gao Ze, led by Shen Gang, arrived at the Criminal Police building.

The Criminal Police Center and the Traffic Police Brigade had similar configurations, with police officers in every department, but the atmosphere was quieter, and many people were bent over examining their case files.

Unlike the Traffic Police Brigade, which constantly monitored real-time surveillance screens, rushing to the front lines whenever an accident occurred anywhere.

“Gao Ze, this is the interrogation room where Liu Yaozong is held. Come with me.”

Shen Gang's voice was loud, without any attempt to avoid or conceal it. At that moment, the police officers in the Criminal Police Center all looked up at Gao Ze beside Shen Gang.

“Is this handsome guy the Traffic Police officer who arrested the fugitive Liu Yaozong?”

“Not only did he arrest Liu Yaozong, but he also found the wealthy Sun Chaohui's son, Sun Shuai. What kind of luck is this? Is he a living koi fish?”

Many people's hearts flashed with surprise, and many female officers, upon seeing Gao Ze's appearance, felt a ripple in their hearts.

A handsome and lucky police officer, why wasn't he from their Criminal Police Brigade?

Gao Ze was unaware of the Criminal Police Center officers' thoughts. He followed Shen Gang into the interrogation room and saw Liu Yaozong, who was handcuffed to the interrogation chair.

His eyes were still defiant, looking completely unmanageable.

“What, are your Criminal Police useless? You can't interrogate me, so you brought a little Traffic Police officer.”

When Liu Yaozong saw Gao Ze, his eyes filled with hatred, and his emotions clearly fluctuated. His handcuffs and leg shackles clanked: “You wouldn't think bringing him here will make me talk, would you? I told you I don't know where Xu Xiaoli is, and interrogating me a hundred times will yield the same result.”

“Liu Yaozong, shut up when you're not told to speak!”

Liu Yaozong's words were very insulting. Several Criminal Police officers beside Shen Gang looked a bit displeased, and they didn't think Captain Shen Gang inviting Gao Ze was a good idea.

Their professional Criminal Police couldn't get Liu Yaozong to reveal Xu Xiaoli's whereabouts.

Could Gao Ze, a little Traffic Police officer, do it?

He was just lucky.

“Haha, hit a sore spot, didn't I? Your Criminal Police are really a bunch of good-for-nothings!”

The faces of the few Criminal Police officers grew even uglier. Shen Gang pretended not to hear, his expression calm as he asked, “Gao Ze, what do you think? Can you get Xu Xiaoli's whereabouts from Liu Yaozong's mouth?”

The first time apprehending Liu Yaozong was luck.

Was finding Sun Shuai the second time still luck?

Shen Gang was a bit skeptical. How could there be so many coincidences in the world? Why didn't luck come to him?

“I can get it out, but in the interrogation room, only I can interrogate; no one else should interfere!”

Gao Ze was confident in interrogating Liu Yaozong. His experience as a criminal investigation expert for over a decade in his previous life was not false.
