Chapter 20: Her eyes were all red, Yan'er was wicked.
Although this area falls under the jurisdiction of the Xiafei Road Police Station, even a sergeant is not someone a first-rank constable can defy.
Moreover, Xu Dongyang knew that he was in the wrong for crossing regional boundaries, and he had to show his strength to suppress the other party in order to achieve a quick victory.
If we get bogged down here, it will be difficult to handle when the large contingent from Avenue Joffre arrives.
When Xu Dongyang received the phone call informing him that the female swindler's hiding place had been discovered, he didn't believe a word of it.
It's because Shen Lang has such a bad reputation and has absolutely no experience in investigating cases.
Every month when there are assessments to be done, the gang always arranges for someone to take the blame.
Over time, they've all developed a fixed pool of people to take the blame.
Therefore, when I heard about a lead, I was genuinely dismissive, thinking it was just a show for the higher-ups.
Once the team arrives, lying that the person escaped will prove that he is working hard to investigate the case, right?
Although Xu Dongyang didn't believe it, he had to respond after receiving the call.
After all, this case has caused quite a stir, and he was even given a severe scolding by the chief inspector this morning.
At this critical juncture, even saving face is necessary to get through it.
Otherwise, if that guy surnamed Shen gets desperate and makes false accusations, it wouldn't be worth it to drag him down with him.
Even if you've been scammed, you can only grit your teeth and bear it, and get through these three days.
Unexpectedly, when they arrived, they found Shen Lang actually holding a woman in his arms and confronting the police from Xiafei Road Police Station.
He became even more excited when he heard that a murder had occurred upstairs and that the handcuffed woman was the murderer.
Regardless of whether this woman is a fraud or not, catching a murderer is a great achievement.
The Mai Lan Police Station has a total of 5 teams. 3 of them, from the patrol chief to the third-level patrol officer, are all salted fish, who will never stand up if they can lie down.
Now that we finally have a major case under our control, and the murderer has been caught, it's like a windfall.
Xu Dongyang's eyes turned red with envy at this achievement, so how could he possibly back down?
They were simply using their rank to intimidate others, determined to attribute the credit to Team 3.
Upon meeting the other party, they still tried to delay by questioning Shen Lang's identity.
He said in a deep voice, "He is a first-class patrol officer of the 3rd Team of the Mailan Police Station. I can vouch for that. If you have any problems with making arrests outside your jurisdiction, you can come to me anytime!"
This statement essentially means he took all the blame for the ensuing disputes.
As expected of a superior, he looked down on Shen Lang internally, but when something really happened, he would definitely support his subordinate.
They took on everything themselves, leaving all the subsequent problems to themselves.
Unlike others, he didn't claim credit for himself or shift the blame for breaking the rules onto his subordinates.
According to memory, a similar incident had occurred in Team 2 before. As a result, the patrol leader stole the credit for the investigation and arrangements, shifted the responsibility for the violation to his subordinates, and even kicked them while they were down by firing them!
Xu Dongyang's act of taking the blame can be seen as a way of reciprocating kindness, sharing the credit while also withstanding external pressure.
He's a meticulous person!
Shen Lang nodded slightly, his eyes showing approval: "Although this patrol chief is a bit of a slacker, he really takes responsibility when his subordinates are in trouble, instead of leaving them to take the blame. This is a capable officer!"
Just as I was feeling sentimental, the fish head and the big mouth came down.
The two men, one in front and one behind, were also carrying something wrapped in a bed sheet.
Judging from its shape, it is clearly the woman's corpse.
Xiao Quangui reported loudly, "Reporting, Patrol Chief, the on-site investigation is complete, and all evidence has been collected!"
During the report, he even brandished the fruit knife he was holding as a warning.
Xu Dongyang nodded slightly, a satisfied smile on his face.
With a wave of his hand, he ordered, "Fall back!"
"Yes!" the others responded loudly, forming a protective barrier on both sides as they walked out.
Shen Lang blinked, completely baffled by this turn of events.
He couldn't help but think to himself, "I'd heard that during the Republic of China era, the police in the foreign concessions only cared about personal gain, and now it seems the rumors were true!"
In order to grab credit and earn bonuses, they crudely wrapped the evidence and the body in a bed sheet and took them away, giving the detective team from the Xiafei Road Police Station no chance at all.
If this were done in later generations, it would definitely be considered a violation and punishable by being forced to take off one's clothes and leave.
But this is a concession, so whether it's regulated or not doesn't matter. As long as we get the credit, we can deal with other things later.
Everyone has connections, so no one is afraid of anyone, and in the end, it's all a mess.
As for seeking justice and fairness for the victims, that's just a waste of time when you're trying to make money!
Even if someone really commits murder, they can still be released as long as they're willing to spend the money.
In the foreign concessions, human life was the least valuable thing. Who cared whether someone was wronged or not?
"Oh," Shen Lang replied, grabbing Zhang Li's arm and following her.
With teammates protecting them on both sides, the journey was smooth and unobstructed.
Officer Zhang and the other two could only stand there and watch, not daring to step forward to stop them.
Only after the people from the McLan police station disappeared from sight did they come to their senses and hurriedly run to the management office to call for backup.
Unfortunately, even when reinforcements arrived, the other party had already left the area under their jurisdiction.
As the three groups walked down the street, passersby avoided them.
They stood tall and proud, feeling incredibly comfortable.
This time they solved a major case, and their team 3 also felt proud.
With a broad smile, Xu Dongyang patted the young man beside him on the shoulder and praised him in a rare, warm voice, "You solved this big case, kid, you've really made our 3rd Captain proud!"
Others echoed this sentiment, feeling a sense of pride.
Most importantly, I'll be rewarded for my participation in the escort mission.
Shen Lang's expression turned serious, and he said solemnly, "It's all thanks to the patrol chief's excellent leadership and the help of the brothers in Team 3; otherwise, we wouldn't have been able to bring the suspect back so quickly!"
This statement clarifies that the entire Team 3 was involved, and the patrol leader was credited with overseeing the overall situation.
Everyone received the benefits equally.
"Impressive!" Xu Dongyang nodded slightly, a satisfied smile on his face.
His gaze towards his subordinates softened, and he couldn't help but think: Why didn't I realize before that this kid had some good points?
Shen Lang clearly sensed the change in the patrol chief's attitude, and his smile became even brighter.
The saying goes, "A local official is more powerful than a distant one," meaning that if you want to get ahead in the police station, you have to cultivate a good relationship with the patrol chief.
To put it bluntly, as long as the relationship is right, even if you're late or leave early, your superiors will turn a blind eye, and you'll always have perfect attendance every month.
After thinking for a moment, he said, "Chief, I think we should immediately notify the reporters to release the news of the suspect's arrest. If the Xiafei Road Police Station keeps pressing us, the Chief Inspector will have to stand his ground for the sake of the McLaren Police Station's reputation!"
Xu Dongyang raised an eyebrow and gave a thumbs-up with an expression of utter astonishment.
Unexpectedly, this kid is so cunning that he actually dragged the chief inspector out to take the fall.
But he likes this suggestion!
With his superior's permission, Shen Lang immediately found a public phone booth by the roadside and notified the major newspapers.
When it comes to hype and creating buzz, he's an expert!
When the group returned to the police station, a crowd surged towards them.
"Here it comes~ here it comes~!"
