I make a living solving crimes.

Office of the director of Gulou Police Station.

Wei Qianjun sat there awkwardly smoking. He came in a hurry because he wanted to take over the case during the interrogation stage so that he could take the stolen money away naturally.

The result...case closed!

Now that he's here, there's no way he'll go back empty-handed.

"Old Zhang, it's impossible to keep all this money." Wei Qianjun spoke slowly. His plan failed, so he could only present facts and reason. "The branch office is in financial difficulty, and the municipal bureau is also in financial difficulty. This year's financial allocation has not yet arrived."

"The director wants to rob it?" Zhang Youde said calmly, with no trace of sadness or joy. "This is a bit against the rules!"

Wei Qianjun wanted to kill him for the fourth time.

If you weren't Chang Wei, how dare you talk to me like this?

"There is no rule that allows you to withhold stolen money." Wei Qianjun had no choice but to be tough.

He had a lot of resentment but had no place to vent it. He hadn't even poured himself a cup of tea since he entered the door. His former subordinates didn't even greet him when they saw him. Everyone looked at him as if they were guarding against a robber.

What could he do? He was in a dilemma. Director Zhao had ordered him to take the money back.

The head of the branch's finance department's eyes were red.

Eight thousand four hundred yuan, gold is four yuan and sixteen cents per gram, which is more than eighteen thousand yuan.

Twenty-six or twenty-seven thousand. How dare the Gulou Police Station keep all this money?

Zhang Youde jumped up, "Let's follow the rules, right? Fine, the branch still owes us more than two thousand for reimbursement, this year's police equipment, police uniforms, training bullets, night shift allowances..."

Wei Qianjun quickly raised his hand to stop him from continuing.

Zhang Youde walked back to his desk angrily and took a big gulp of his teacup. "We had agreed on something before, but now the branch leaders are taking the lead in changing their minds. How do you expect the soldiers below to think? How are you going to lead the team in the future?"

Wei Qianjun's handling of this matter was a bit unfair, so he could only patiently persuade him: "If it was hundreds or thousands, I wouldn't even come today. Who told you to always call it a big case?"

"Isn't that our fault?" Zhang Youde knew that he couldn't expect to keep all the money today, but how much he could keep depended on how tough he was now. If he relaxed a little, he wouldn't be able to keep a single penny.

Wei Qianjun sighed, "Stop fighting, just tell me how much you are willing to pay."

He also started from the grassroots level, and he understood Zhang Youde's thoughts.

"Since you are here, you are considered our old leader. We will give you face and pay half of it."

"No, the branch leaders won't agree." Wei Qianjun stood up and walked to the table to open the bag. He was dazzled by the cash and gold inside. After a pause, he reached in and took out two stacks of cash and threw them into Zhang Youde's arms. "I can only leave this much for you."

"Not enough, this is only two thousand."

Wei Qianjun frowned, "Only two thousand. This is not a discussion with you. Just follow orders."

Zhang Youde saw through his superficial strength and was not prepared to compromise. He thought for a moment and said, "We have been submitting applications for two sidecars since last year. Can we get approval today?"

"No, the branch is also short of cars right now, and if we give you one, what will happen to the other offices?"

"Other stations? Can they hand over more than 20,000 yuan? This does not include what the branch took away from the last stolen goods case. There are also the first-class merits, second-class merits, and collective merits of our station. If anyone disagrees, come and compete."

Damn, if it weren't for Chang Wei...

Wei Qianjun swore to kill Zhang Youde today.

"I'll ask the Criminal Investigation Team to squeeze out a car for you, okay?"

"Two."

"Criminal Investigation..."

"They have cars and tricycles. What can they do with so many cars? You might as well allocate them to us. If there is a case that cannot be solved, I will ask Chang Wei to provide support."

It would be better not to mention the Criminal Investigation Brigade. When Zhang Youde is mentioned, he gets very angry. He is not targeting the entire brigade, he just doesn't like Wang Wenlong.

Wei Qianjun knew their grudges well, so he consoled them, "Don't fight with Wang Wenlong anymore. The last fugitive in the family murder case was arrested in Tianjin this morning. His prestige has plummeted after this incident, and his promotion to deputy director has been shelved."

Zhang Youde clapped his hands and cheered, angrily saying, "He deserves it. Who told him to slam Chang Wei's desk?"

That's my desk.

Wei Qianjun complained in his heart, this guy is really protecting his own child!

In theory, Wang Wenlong was also Wei Qianjun's man. It was only after Wei Qianjun became the deputy director that he gave the position of team leader to Wang Wenlong. However, the family-murder case did disappoint Wei Qianjun.

There is no need to be afraid of mistakes in case investigation, but as a leader, you must be magnanimous and tolerant.

Director Zhao described Wang Wenlong as narrow-minded and eager for quick success.

"Let's stop here with Wang Wenlong's matter. The branch will make further adjustments in the future."

"Okay, there's one more thing. Chang Wei's sister is moving. You know her family's situation. She has to send a lot of money every year. Guo Gang and I will sell the confiscated furniture from the main criminal's home to him for 80 yuan. I'll report this to you and the branch office."

"Eighty? What old furniture costs eighty? Just ask him to give fifty dollars."

"Okay, the branch office needs to issue a receipt, and we can't leave any trouble for the child."

"You write the note and I sign it. I will never leave him any debt."

"Sidecar..."

"There aren't many of these. Take one first, and I'll find a way to get the other one by the end of the year."

Zhang Youde thought about it for a long time before reluctantly nodding.

All right, two thousand is two thousand. Yang Wenhai still has more than five thousand. If things get really awkward, it will be troublesome for everyone when they check the accounts.

When Wei Qianjun got the file, he was confused. "He confessed in such detail? How good must his memory be to remember so much?"

"Chang Wei found out. Don't spread the news when you get back."

"Damn, you finally found a treasure. If he and Wang Wenlong didn't get along, I would have transferred him to the Criminal Investigation Team."

"As vice-captain?"

"Get lost!" Wei Qianjun cursed, "The deputy captain is at the department level."

The public security sub-bureau of a municipality directly under the central government is equivalent to the public security bureau of a prefecture-level city. The criminal investigation brigade is generally staffed with deputy division chiefs, and in most cases the deputy director also holds the position. Three months ago, Director Wei promoted Chang Wei to deputy director and let Wang Wenlong take over the criminal investigation brigade.

It is hard to imagine how Wang Wenlong feels now because he slammed the table twice and lost the deputy director position he had just obtained.

Anyway, Chang Wei was very happy after hearing the news.

After paying fifty yuan, he headed home with three planners and a carpenter.

It won’t work without a carpenter. The step-out bed cannot be moved out without being dismantled.

Old Man Jin from Yard 95 walked around the pile of furniture three times, gave Chang Wei a thumbs up and said, "Boss, you are very capable. These are all top-quality woods, huanghuali and mahogany. The drum stools are made of nanmu, and the Luohan bed is made of small-leaf red sandalwood."

"Can you tell which dynasty it is from?"

Old man Jin was a little embarrassed. He didn't know much about furniture. The carpenter who was assembling the Babu bed said, "The Babu bed is from the Qing Dynasty. It is called a thousand-work Babu bed, which means it takes a thousand workers to make such a bed, and a carpenter needs three years to make it."

Chang Wei was surprised, but felt it was reasonable.

If not, why would he want to drag someone else's bed back home the first time he saw it.
