571: Chapter 567: Departing to Handle the Case 571: Chapter 567: Departing to Handle the Case The entire county police department was watching Ye Fan’s “good show,” waiting for Ye Fan to be scolded and chased out of the office by Chief Tang Xianlong, covered in “dog’s blood.” Some officers even pretended to have business near the chief’s office door, lingering around.
Half an hour later, the chief’s office door opened, and Ye Fan walked out confidently, his head held high and chest puffed out.
Yes, head held high, not hanging his head in defeat.
Everyone was extremely surprised.
Could it be that Chief Tang hadn’t scolded him?
Such acts of undermining unity and operating privately were always what leaders loathed the most.
Not to mention making the public kneel down in public, which was terribly damaging!
It must be that Ye Fan shamelessly disregarded Chief Tang’s criticism as soon as he turned around!
As Ye Fan walked from the chief’s office back to his own, he naturally saw many colleagues looking at him differently, even pointing and whispering behind his back without regard that he was a deputy political commissar.
Calmly returning to his office, Ye Fan sat at his desk, picked up the telephone, and started making calls.
“Captain Wang, please immediately send two clever comrades to assist me with a case,” Ye Fan said into the phone.
Then, he called Xu Xiangli and said, “Director Xu, please send a colleague right away to assist me with a case.”
After making two consecutive calls, Ye Fan hesitated for a moment, then decided to call Chen Kunfei.
“Captain Chen, could you trouble you to send a highly experienced comrade over immediately to assist me with a case!”
After ending the call, Ye Fan calmly sat in his office chair and glanced at the search and arrest warrant laid on his desk.
Chief Tang Xianlong had clearly intended to give him a scolding, but Ye Fan quickly persuaded him and obtained a search and arrest warrant, allowing him one day to handle the case.
Of course, there would be a price to pay—if he didn’t yield results within a day, he must immediately stop his private investigation, publicly self-criticize in front of the entire department, and accept serious disciplinary action.
If he were to be disciplined so early into his tenure as deputy political commissar, his career would essentially be over.
Of course, he had already identified the real culprit, so this wouldn’t be an issue.
He called Wang Xianzhong and Xu Xiangli to have them send people over to share in the credit.
As for calling Chen Kunfei, it was partly because he, as a leader, needed to be impartial, and partly to show Chen Kunfei his prowess.
Meanwhile, the three deputy squadron leaders under Ye Fan received his call to send people, with Wang Xianzhong reacting with great surprise upon receiving the first call.
The few core officers still sitting in his office saw Wang Xianzhong’s astonished face and couldn’t help but ask, “Captain, what’s the matter?”
Wang Xianzhong regained his composure, his expression strange as he said, “Deputy Commissar Ye just called.
He wants me to send two clever comrades to assist him in investigating a case.”
“No way?!” the core officers exclaimed in shock, standing up, “Does Deputy Commissar Ye really have the audacity to pursue an investigation under Chief Tang’s wrath?”
Wang Xianzhong grimaced and said, “Deputy Commissar Ye being so bold, most likely Chief Tang has agreed.”
“Has Chief Tang gone senile?
He agreed to this?” one of the core officers wondered.
Wang Xianzhong immediately criticized sternly, “Wu Le, mind your words!”
“Could it be that Deputy Commissar Ye is being showcased from above, and by pulling his connections, Chief Tang has no choice but to tolerate Ye’s recklessness?” another core officer speculated.
Wang Xianzhong shook his head, “Deputy Commissar Ye has no such background.”
Pausing, he glanced over the core officers and asked, “Who is willing to go?”
The core officers all fell silent.
After a while, Wang Xianzhong had no choice but to say, “Alright, I’ll send someone else.”
In Xu Xiangli’s office, Xu Xiangli said to a young policewoman in her early twenties, “Xiaohong, you’re always the most meticulous.
Go assist Deputy Commissar Ye with the investigation.”
“Wu wu wu…” The girl named by Xu Xiangli covered her mouth and cried on the spot, pleading with Xu Xiangli, “Director, I’ve always respected you, completing whatever you assign without even taking time to eat or sleep.
Wu wu wu… Commissioner Ye wants to force the investigation, and that would offend most of the department.
Commissioner Ye might be transferred later, but what about me?
Xu Xiangli waved her hands with a headache, saying, “Alright, alright, I won’t send you.”
She then looked around at her other subordinates.
Each one shrank back upon meeting her gaze.
“Fine, since I’m not busy with work right now, I’ll go and cooperate with Commissioner Ye on the investigation,” sighed Xu Xiangli.
In Chen Kunfei’s office, Chen Kunfei was stunned for a long while upon receiving the call before regaining his composure.
“Last name Ye actually wants me to send someone to cooperate with him on the investigation,” Chen Kunfei said to Fang Jinsan and others with a strange expression.
After Ye Fan was called into the director’s office, a few of Chen Kunfei’s key subordinates also entered Chen Kunfei’s office to discuss the matter.
Fang Jinsan and others were greatly surprised, and soon Fang Jinsan was the first to burst into laughter, “Ha-ha, last name Ye must have been scolded mad.
It’s a desperate fight of a cornered beast, mere suicide!
Squad leader, last name Ye won’t last two weeks!”
The others regained their senses and also burst into joyful laughter.
After a burst of laughter, Chen Kunfei said with a smile, “Since last name Ye is so eager to court death, let’s cooperate with him.
“Let’s send Miao Jian,” suggested Fang Jinsan.
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Miao Jian was a team leader under Chen Kunfei, with a bad and rigid temper, never aligning himself with his immediate superior Chen Kunfei, whom had long disliked him.
However, Miao Jian was a capable worker with some reputation in the department.
Also, with previous support from Zhang Zhiyuan, Chen Kunfei had to reluctantly accept him.
Now, this suicidal “dirty work” was naturally assigned to him.
Chen Kunfei laughed, “Good, such an important task should naturally be given to him.
Let the capable do more, right?”
After saying that, he picked up the desk phone to call Miao Jian.
Meanwhile, Ye Fan, after finishing the call, waited in his office for the personnel to arrive.
Unexpectedly, the first to enter was the glamorous and charming Xu Xiangli.
Seeing Xu Xiangli coming in person, Ye Fan frowned and asked, “Director Xu, can you not spare anyone from your side?”
He thought Xu Xiangli was reluctant to send someone.
It’s just that I want to personally cooperate with you on this case,” Xu Xiangli said.
Ye Fan nodded in slight surprise, “Thank you for your support.
Before his cards were on the table, it was unlucky for anyone to help him.
Xu Xiangli’s personal assistance touched him somewhat.
After a while, another police officer knocked and entered, a man about thirty-five years old, of average build but muscular, standing straight with an ordinary appearance but stern, rigid expression, clearly a competent police officer.
“Reporting, Commissioner Ye, Miao Jian reporting,” said the middle-aged officer energetically to Ye Fan.
Ye Fan sized up Miao Jian, seeing no dissatisfaction or sarcasm in his demeanor, and nodded, “You were sent by Squad Leader Chen, right?
Two minutes later, two young officers reluctantly entered, sent by Wang Xianzhong.
Ye Fan asked for the young officers’ names; one was Geng Fuantong and the other was Gao Jinian.
Once everyone arrived, Ye Fan wasted no words, briefly outlined the mission objectives, then took the search and arrest warrant, and led the team toward Mingde High School.
Under the watchful eyes of the department—some filled with hatred, others with mockery, pity, or just watching as if at a drama—Ye Fan and his team drove two police cars away from the police station.
