Chapter 1015: Chapter 1015

"It's very complicated. Someone saw Wangcai appear in the Old City District, but the Criminal Investigation Bureau turned the place upside down and still didn't find him."

"Of course, if you say they turned it upside down, how thorough they actually were is hard to say."

Liu Zheng had quite a few connections in the Old City District, including the Pink Kingdom, the Dark Elf, and Morrison Primary School.

Unfortunately, Luo Ping had already been sent to investigate Bai Tianshi's matter, otherwise, this task would have been quite suitable for him.

"Do you want to look further?"

"No need. Brother Pai, just keep an eye on things for me, and contact me as soon as there's any news."

"Okay. Actually, since I'm part of the Security Department, the help I can provide is limited. You might want to ask others; they might have more direct and effective solutions."

Ace added a final reminder.

"More direct and effective solutions?"

He stared at his phone for a moment and then called 4399.

"Did you hear that the Criminal Investigation Bureau wants to catch me?"

Liu Zheng asked in return.

"I killed a former member of the Special Action Team. It could have been blown out of proportion, but the Criminal Investigation Bureau holds a grudge against me for not sharing the credit when we eliminated the original Divine Sect, so they're snatching jurisdiction from the Office, and they even arrested a friend of mine."

He concisely explained the situation.

"Hold on, let me check."

After hanging up, Liu Zheng waited for nearly half an hour before 4399 called back.

"Why did you kill that former Special Action Team member?"

"He abused a friend of mine, and my friend entrusted me with avenging them."

"Things are really complicated now..."

"Brother 4399, I can't handle anything too complicated right now."

Liu Zheng interrupted as 4399 started to explain.

In his eyes, Liu Zheng always appeared polite to the point of being somewhat ingratiating.

Even when they were discussing distributing a billion-dollar procurement quota to the Pet Rejection Sect, his attitude was very humble.

But now, Liu Zheng rudely interrupted him, indicating that this deliveryman was truly angry this time.

"Then tell me your thoughts."

After a moment of silence, 4399 finally spoke.

"First of all, can the organization help me get the Sphinx out?"

"It's tough. The Criminal Investigation Bureau is the most powerful department of the Security Department, and you indeed violated the law this time. Although they can't arrest you in a restaurant, summoning relevant personnel for questioning is reasonable and legal."

"Shouldn't the jurisdiction of the case belong to the Office? Even if there's a summons, it should be issued by the Office."

Ace's implication was that if the case were under the Office's jurisdiction, it would basically be no big deal.

"The Office has jurisdiction over that former Special Action Team member, but it's not a judicial department. So, theoretically, even if the case ends up under the Office, the Security Department should still investigate the case thoroughly before handing it over to the Office for processing."

"It really is complicated."

Both the case and the relationships were so complicated that his anger issues were flaring up.

"Brother 4399, I just want to ask you one question."

"Are we on the same side?"

"Yes, you and the organization, you and I are on the same side."

"Good. I want to resolve this matter in the most direct and effective way possible. Just tell me what to do, and I'll follow it. As for taking the fall, can you help me with it?"

Faced with Liu Zheng's inquiry, 4399 gripped his phone tightly.

He had never felt his specially bought slim business phone this heavy before, as heavy as the gaze from the Pet Rejection Sect members after confirming that woman had defected to the Mixed Blood Sect.

"Would you betray the Pet Rejection Sect?"

"I don't know. But Brother 4399, as long as you don't betray me, I won't betray you. If someday you're also trapped, whether because of me or not, I'd also do my utmost to save you."

Liu Zheng said earnestly.

"Can't you say something nice for me?"

4399 couldn't help but comment after hearing that.

It was rare to hear 4399 tease, so he gave a cheeky laugh.

"As long as you help me get the Sphinx out, I promise to worship all the gods and pray for your promotion, salary raise, marrying a rich and beautiful woman, and becoming deputy director, reaching the pinnacle of your life."

As for why not the director, because the current director of the Border Control Bureau is the Supreme Councilman.

"Then it's more effective to pray to our director."

4399 joined in the joke.

"Heh heh, does that mean Brother 4399 has agreed?"

"If I don't agree, will you break ties with me?" Content orıginally comes from novel{f}ire.net

4399 asked in return.

"Not necessarily, we should distinguish between organizational relations and personal friendships."

Liu Zheng tactfully said.

"If you keep making such clear distinctions, you won't get far in the organization."

"As long as Brother 4399 goes far, that's good enough. I'll follow behind, being your assistant, while you shield me from the wind and rain."

4399 hung up the phone.

But soon, he called back.

"The Criminal Investigation Bureau has a business firm, responsible for selling off confiscated illicit goods or evidence and sometimes assisting with purchasing things that don't go through regular procurement channels."
