After understanding the situation, Zhou Zijie was about to lead his people out when Wucheng stood up and said, "Director Zhou, hold on. Let Captain Zhao and his team go and help too!"
As soon as he got the photos, Zhou Zijie had Sun An take people to check the household registration.
He claimed it was to help them find the person faster.
But don’t think they couldn’t see through it; his eagerness was really about trying to steal the credit.
However, since it was Luo Fei who got the photos, even if he wanted to snatch credit, he had to see if they’d agree!
When Zhou Zijie heard this, he was indeed anxious.
"Director Wu, your comrades drove all night last night; they must be tired. I think it’s better not to have them work anymore. They should take this time to rest well, and I’ll immediately inform you once our comrades have results, okay?"
"Thank you for your kindness, Director Zhou, but we can handle it!" Zhao Donglai immediately stated.
What a joke, having investigated until now, with victory in sight, they would persevere even if exhausted, right!
Is there any reason to hand over the credit at the last moment?
Zhou Zijie was momentarily at a loss for words and continued looking at Wucheng, "Director Wu, why..."
"Haha, Director Wu, you see, it’s not that I don’t want to rest, but the key is that the guys are all anxious."
Wucheng spread his hands helplessly.
At this moment, Zheng Changjun seized the opportunity to speak, "Director Zhou, just let them go. After all, this case has always been followed up by Captain Zhao’s team; they probably can’t rest well until it’s cleared up. It’s better to let them go help, as the sooner it’s investigated, the better."
Since they all said so, Zhou Zijie had no more reason to refuse and could only say helplessly, "Alright then, Sun Jun, you take a few comrades over there."
The wish to steal credit dashed, Zhou Zijie left somewhat disappointed after saying that.
Zhao Donglai was about to follow but noticed Luo Fei, who had been sitting still, suddenly give him a glance.
Understanding the signal, he quickly instructed Yang Su and Zhang Fan, "You two lead the others and go with Comrade Sun; I’ll follow shortly."
Yang Su immediately led the crew of Group One and Two and Sun An out.
In the end, the office was left with Luo Fei, Zhao Donglai, Zheng Changjun, Wucheng, and the members of Group Three. Original content can be found at ɴovelfire.net
Zheng Changjun couldn’t wait to ask, "Luo Fei, do you have any other discoveries you haven’t mentioned?"
It turned out he had also received a hint from Luo Fei just now.
Luo Fei smiled slightly and didn’t answer directly. Instead, he turned to Wang Yong, "How’s the progress with the number I had you investigate?"
"Already checked, Captain. The ID information of the owner is named Ning Shaobin, from Kangtai Town, Pingkang County, XZ City."
"Also, I checked the call records of this number. There was indeed a call at 1:48 this afternoon, lasting about a minute."
1:48 PM, roughly the time when Uncle called the boss.
No need to ask, Luo Fei was already sure that this number definitely belonged to that behind-the-scenes boss.
He immediately pursued, "And have you checked the owner’s information of this number?"
"Check it right away, as detailed as possible!"
"Alright, Captain, I’ll go right now!"
Wang Yong said and quickly walked out.
Meanwhile, Zheng Changjun and the others listening to their conversation were left bewildered.
Zheng Changjun, thoroughly confused, said, "Luo Fei, what are you talking about? Whose number, what owner, why am I so confused?"
"Director Zheng, here’s the thing. Earlier, I secretly glanced at Uncle’s phone while he was contacting that behind-the-scenes boss, and I happened to memorize the number and sent it to Wang Yong to check."
"What the heck! Luo Fei, are you serious?!"
Everyone was collectively shocked and gaped in disbelief, almost doubting their ears.
Did they hear correctly? Luo Fei actually remembered the boss’s phone number!
Facing their surprise, Luo Fei nodded, "Of course, how could I joke about such a thing."
"Hahahaha... Well done, Luo Fei! I was wondering why you handed over the hard-won photo so easily. It turns out you had already kept a trump card, impressive!"
Zheng Changjun laughed heartily, patting Luo Fei’s shoulder in joy.
When Luo Fei took out the photo, he thought Luo Fei was provoked by Zhou Zijie and eager to prove his ability, which he disapproved of at the time.
After all, if such important evidence was handed over to him privately, they could verify it here, not only proving his ability but also keeping the credit.
But Luo Fei acted too quickly at the time, and he couldn’t stop him, so he accepted the situation.
Only now did he realize that Luo Fei was not rash but had already formulated a plan.
Because he had already grasped more advantageous evidence, whether he took out the photo didn’t seem that important anymore.
On the contrary, presenting it publicly gave Zhou Zijie a huge illusion, making them think that finding the person before Jiangzhou police would conclude it, unaware that Luo Fei was always calmly in control...
Thinking about this, Zheng Changjun couldn’t help but laugh, "Luo Fei, be honest, did you deliberately take out that photo to mess with them?"
Luo Fei did intend to let Zhou Zijie have a fruitless joy because of his snide remarks.
But he certainly couldn’t admit it, so he immediately shook his head to deny it.
"Director Zheng, you’re overthinking it; I didn’t mean that."
"I understand, I understand!"
Amid the laughter, the several people exchanged glances, all sharing a smile that was beyond words.
