After listening to Ning Zhiyuan's report, Gao Kejian said nothing, picked up the phone and dialed a series of numbers: "Get me the security team headquarters..."
While waiting for the call to be connected, he murmured: "I hope the call won't be dropped..."
Binjiang Telephone Office has been experiencing frequent outages recently, and calls often drop out for no reason.
After waiting for more than a minute, the call was finally connected.
"Security Corps Headquarters, who are you looking for?"
"I'm Gao Kejian from the Special Agent Section of the National Police Agency. I'd like to ask your commander Ji to answer the phone."
"Please wait."
After waiting for a while, the rough and slightly hoarse voice of the head of the security team, Ji Changyou, came from the receiver: "I am Ji Changyou, what do you have to say, Chief Gao?"
Gao Kejian said: "This afternoon, there was a suspicious vehicle at the North City Gate that used forged passes to sneak out of the city. The vehicle was loaded with refined salt. Commander Ji informed the city defense patrol team and chased them along the road. They were at the North City Gate and were the closest troops. They should
I can catch up."
Ji Changyou said: "I heard that the Secret Service Section checked the documents, how come..."
"Captain Ji, without further ado, please notify the city defense patrol team immediately!"
Gao Kejian hung up the phone.
He told Ning Zhiyuan: "Call Hulan Checkpoint and intercept the car!"
Ning Zhiyuan called the Hulan Checkpoint.
As soon as you exit Binjiang North Gate, Hulan is the only checkpoint.
"Section Chief, you derelict in your duties, please be punished!"
Ning Zhiyuan lowered his head and said.
Gao Kejian sighed: "Come to think of it, I am the initiator!"
Ning Zhiyuan said: "How can I blame you?"
Gao Kejian said: "Do you know where that pass came from?"
Ning Zhiyuan thought for a moment: "It must have been done by someone within the police brigade!"
"You said."
Gao Kejian looked at Qi Yue.
Qi Yue thought for a while, pretending to hesitate and said: "Police Brigade Three? Oh, I understand! Liu Dacheng was from the Third Team. Ren Zhengjun was not in the team at the time. Liu Dacheng found an opportunity to sneak into the office and stole it.
Pass, stamped with Ren Zhengjun’s seal..."
Ning Zhiyuan slapped his forehead: "I should have thought it was him!"
Gao Kejian nodded approvingly: "Based on the incident itself, it is not difficult to guess that it is Liu Dacheng. What is difficult is that you can guess it so quickly!"
He paused briefly and continued: "Why do I say that I am the instigator? In fact, Liu Dacheng's case was wrong from the beginning. We have been asking who Liu Dacheng's superiors and contacts are, but we have ignored it.
The most important question - what is his mission! The thing is very simple, Liu Dacheng's mission is to get a genuine pass!"
Qi Yue said: "Section Chief, I can't blame you. Whoever will try this case must focus on asking his superiors and contacts first."
Gao Kejian nodded: "Having said that, I was careless after all..."
He suddenly stopped mid-sentence: "That's not right!"
Ning Zhiyuan quickly asked: "Section Chief, what's wrong?"
Gao Kejian frowned. He thought about what was wrong, but couldn't grasp the point for the moment.
He stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back, pondering for a long time, and then said: "Even if they get the pass, how can they guarantee that the truck of salt will be able to leave the city smoothly?"
Ning Zhiyuan's eyes lit up: "You mean, there are their people at the North City Gate Checkpoint?"
"Otherwise, this matter cannot be explained..."
Gao Kejian nodded slowly.
Ning Zhiyuan thought for a while: "At the North City Gate Checkpoint, in addition to the people from the gendarmerie and the city defense patrol, the gendarmerie is only responsible for supervision and does not participate in inspections. From this point of view, that person can only be the section chief of the city defense patrol.
, at this moment, the city defense patrol team should be chasing out of the city, if that person is among them, will anything happen? "
"We can't control whether there are any accidents. Just do your best and obey fate!"
Gao Kejian sighed.
…
At dawn.
News came back one after another.
The city defense patrol was chasing them halfway when the truck they were riding in suddenly had a flat tire. The driver had no time to react and the car plunged into a ditch on the side of the road.
After a lot of effort, the car was finally towed up. There was no auto repair shop in the wilderness, so the pursuit was forced to stop.
After receiving the call at the Hulan Checkpoint, they opened their eyes wide and stood ready, but except for a military truck passing by, no ghosts were seen.
…
Nine o'clock in the morning.
There was a knock on the door outside the house.
Gao Kejian lifted the blanket covering him, sat up from the sofa, looked up at the clock on the wall, and then said: "Come in."
Liu Wenlong opened the door and walked in.
Gao Kejian stood up and did two chest-expanding movements.
After sleeping on the sofa all night, I felt sore in my back and legs.
Liu Wenlong was surprised: "Section Chief, you didn't go back last night?"
Gao Kejian sighed and said: "You can't resist the old age. Back then, I worked as a bodyguard for Zang Xueliang. He danced all night at the Wanguo Hotel, and I stood guard at the door all night. The next day, I was very active, doing whatever I was supposed to do.
Don’t delay anything, not now.”
"You are in your prime, only in your forties..."
"looking for me?"
"I heard from Xiao Ning that there is a Communist Party hiding at the North City Gate Checkpoint..."
"Ning Zhiyuan will follow up and investigate this matter, so you don't have to worry about it."
"..."
"Is there any progress in the case of military traitors?"
"not yet."
"Let's do this, let Qi Yue be your deputy and participate in the investigation of this case!"
"Qi Yue?"
"Don't you think highly of him?"
"I'm optimistic, but he's just a lieutenant, and I'm afraid he's serving as deputy... As you know, there are more than a dozen police lieutenants involved in the investigation."
"Are you worried that he won't be able to convince the public?"
"yes."
Gao Kejian thought briefly: "That's easy to handle. From now on, Qi Yue will be promoted from police lieutenant to police lieutenant!"
The section chief has the power to appoint and remove officers below the rank of police lieutenant.
Liu Wenlong said: "Section Chief, Qi Yue has been in the Secret Service Section for less than a month. It can be said that he has not made any achievements. Is it too fast to promote him from police lieutenant to sergeant all at once? Oh, I also hope that he will be promoted.
, but I’m worried that people below will discuss this matter.”
Gao Kejian sat back behind his desk, motioned for Liu Wenlong to sit down as well, and then said: "Through this period of observation, I feel that Qi Yue is talented, quick-thinking, and extremely talented. Let's put it this way, you can't see any mistakes on his part."
When doing this, whether it is daily chores or in the process of handling a case, there is no such thing."
After a pause, he continued: "What is commendable is that he is also very considerate in some trivial matters. For agents, starting with details is a very advanced way of investigating cases. Also,
My promotion to his position was not a whim. I had already planned this, but I just didn't find the right opportunity. To borrow your words, talents are rare!"
Qi Yue was promoted, and Liu Wenlong had no objection.
A mere police lieutenant could not threaten his position.
