While going downstairs, the three of them happened to meet each other.
They looked at each other, Bai Zhi looked at Lu Qing, and then asked with a cold face, "Have you also been notified?"
Gu Qing smiled carelessly, and then said, "Yes. An executive member came to the security bureau of a high-end city in person, how could he not notify him?"
"It's just that I'll let you know when I get to the door. That's a bit interesting."
Bai Zhi's face looked a little serious, "I feel like the person who came here is not good."
Xunyi beside him adjusted his glasses and said expressionlessly, "No matter how bad you are, you are just going for the special task force. It has nothing to do with us."
"After all, you didn't even tell us about such a big case."
"Even the city councilors were captured without making a sound. Who wouldn't worry that you would one day capture the federal speaker?"
"䱱!", Bai Zhi stared at Xunyi.
Gu Qing smoothed things over, "Okay, okay. The soldiers will stop us, and the water will cover us. Let's see what's going on first."
While they were talking, the three of them had already arrived at the door of the security bureau.
At this time, the uniformed woman who got off the car: Congressman Wu had entered the Security Bureau lobby.
She was followed by many attendants and security personnel. She was also followed by an old acquaintance, the woman who wore glasses and had a similar temperament to Xunyi who came to assign the task last time.
Seeing Bai Zhi and the others going downstairs, Councilor Wu glanced at her, and then said with a smile, "Deputy Director Qingping, it seems that the response speed of the Emerald City Security Bureau is average."
"If it were in the state capital, it wouldn't take more than a minute. Everyone would be here in just ten seconds."
After hearing what Congressman Wu said, Qingping said expressionlessly, "Congressman is joking. The security bureau of the state capital has a special emergency channel, but the Emerald City does not."
While talking, Bai Zhi and the others finally came to the two of them.
The three of them bowed slightly, and then greeted each other, "Your Excellency, Congressman. Deputy Director."
Councilor Wu looked at the three of them and said calmly, "I am here to convey the council's decision to the special task force and inform some related matters. Shall we find a conference room? And invite Commissioner Jiang Cheng here?
"
Hearing her words, the three of them looked at each other and almost guessed the council's decision.
Ten minutes later, in the small conference room on the fourth floor of the Security Bureau.
Councilor Wu, the executive councilor of West Dar State, Qing Ping, Bai Zhi, Gu Qing, Xun Yi, deputy director of West Dar State Security Bureau, and Jiang Cheng, the municipal councilor of Emerald City who was invited over, sat across from each other.
Jiang Cheng was neatly dressed and in good spirits. When he came to the conference room, he was reading seriously with a book in his hand. He didn't look like a suspect being detained here at all, but like he was on vacation.
Councilor Wu glanced at him, then smiled and said to Bai Zhi and the others, "That's it. Last night, Qian Feng's father, Qian He, a member of the state capital city council, took the initiative to come to the parliament and surrender."
"Voluntarily admitted to a series of illegal behaviors he had committed."
"Including cooperating with gangs, leaking secrets from Cedar State, secretly selling strategic materials, etc."
"The parliament immediately requested the Ministry of Supervision to conduct an internal investigation on him."
"With his cooperation, the investigation went very smoothly. The witnesses and physical evidence were conclusive."
"It is certain that this case was committed by their father and son."
"While investigating the case, he also took the initiative to confess that Qianfeng took the initiative to contact Commissioner Jiang Cheng under his instruction."
"They also planned to act in the name of Commissioner Jiang Cheng in Emerald City to cover up their illegal activities."
He emphasized the word "pretend".
"After several rounds of discussions, the parliament also listened to the investigation report of the Ministry of Supervision and determined that this should be the truth. Commissioner Jiang Cheng has suffered an unjust injustice and asked me to come and clarify."
After she finished speaking, the entire conference room became a little quiet for a while.
For a moment, Bai Zhi looked coldly and questioned in a bad tone, "Isn't it a little too fast?"
"You surrendered without any reason? And then you told everything exactly?"
"The Ministry of Supervision is still solving crimes at night?"
"With so many witnesses, the physical evidence was all completed so quickly?"
"As for the Supervision Department, can it be this efficient?"
"Do you think we are fools?"
After hearing what Bai Zhi said, Councilor Wu smiled and said, "Director Bai, don't get excited."
"If you are dissatisfied with the efficiency of the Inspectorate, you can complain to Parliament. We will investigate."
"But the fact that they did it well and quickly is not a mistake, is it?"
Gu Qing yawned on the side and said mockingly, "Maybe it's because someone put all the evidence in front of their table."
"In this case, even if the dog is tied up, the case can be solved in one night."
After hearing his words, Councilor Wu was not angry.
She smiled and said, "That's what happened."
"As for the explanation, I have explained it to you."
"Next, it's the internal affairs of your security bureau, I won't get involved."
As she said that, she looked at the deputy director of the State Security Bureau: Qing Ping.
Qingping's complexion was obviously a little bad.
But she still said, "Congressman Wu has just explained the case clearly."
"So, after research, the bureau decided that the Emerald City Security Bureau would release Jiang Cheng immediately."
"Qianfeng, Qiuyue will be handed over to the State Supervision Department."
When they heard that she was not only going to let Jiang Cheng go, but also move Qian Feng, Qiu Yue, and Bai Zhi, they slapped the table and said, "Why?!"
"You say Jiang Cheng is not guilty, okay, I admit it!"
"Qianfeng, Qiuyue was captured by us! She also confessed, why should she be handed over?"
Qingping looked at Bai Zhi expressionlessly, and then asked, "Director Bai, do you still remember the scope of responsibilities of the Security Bureau?"
Bai Zhi was stunned for a moment.
Qingping asked and answered herself, "Combating the crimes of awakened persons and detecting crimes involving extraordinary powers."
After saying that, she took a deep look at Bai Zhi and said, "In this incident..."
"Although several suspects are awakened, they did not use their abilities to commit crimes."
"They were just job-related crimes."
"Off-duty crimes are under the control of the Supervision Department."
After saying that, Qingping sighed slightly, "Move someone else."
When she heard what she said, Bai Zhi froze on the spot.
Qingping is right.
The main responsibility of the Security Bureau is indeed to combat the crimes of the Awakened and to detect cases involving supernatural forces. Of course, the Security Bureau also has priority when it comes to situations that may endanger federal or state or city security.
But once the level of the matter is determined, or no awakened person commits a crime, the case will no longer be under the jurisdiction of the Security Bureau.
Therefore, according to the process and the characterization of the case, it is legal and legal to transfer the case to the Supervision Department.
It's just that he just caught Jiang Cheng's leg, and Fang Zegang worked so hard to extract so much information, and just handed it over for nothing?
She is not willing to give in!
Perhaps sensing her emotions, Qingping said, "Of course, your contribution in this case is also recognized by the bureau."
"Fang Ze will be promoted to a first-level specialist."
"Other commissioners involved in the case will also be given corresponding rewards and commendations."
"In this way, you will also have an explanation for them."
After hearing Qingping's words, Bai Zhi's clenched hands finally slowly relaxed.
She took a deep breath, looked disappointed and was about to nod her head in agreement.
As a result, at this moment, suddenly, there was a loud noise at the door.
"You can't go in!?"
"The chief is having a meeting inside!"
"Who are you? Why do you want to break into the meeting?"
"Get out of the way! I am Fang Ze, the deputy leader of the special task force! The special task force is having a meeting. What's wrong with me, the deputy leader, going in!?"
During the commotion, the door of the conference room was violently pushed open from the outside.
Fang Ze had several commissioners attached to him, but he still barged in.
Hearing the noise and the sound of the door opening, all six people present followed the sound and looked over.
Seeing this scene, Qingping's face darkened, and she couldn't help scolding, "Nonsense! What are you doing? Don't you have the basic professionalism of a commissioner?"
Speaking of this, she couldn't help but look at Bai Zhi, and then asked, "Director Bai! Is this the subordinate you discipline? Are you so ignorant that you break into the conference room without permission?"
"Don't let him out yet?!"
Hearing her words, Bai Zhi opened her mouth, and when she was about to say something, Fang Ze stretched out his hand to stop Bai Zhi.
Then Fang Ze patted the hands of the commissioners who were still holding him and motioned for them to get off him first.
Then, he looked at Qingping, saluted, and said, "Sir, I'm not messing around."
"When the special task force was established, the director appointed Chief Bai Zhi as the team leader, and I was the deputy team leader."
"Chief Bai Zhi is usually too busy with affairs in the bureau, so I am responsible for most of the affairs of the special task force."
"Now the chiefs are meeting about this case. How can I, the person in charge of specific affairs, not be present?"
"Once the officers encounter some problems, there is no one to ask them!"
Speaking of this, he looked at Bai Zhi and said, "Isn't that right, Chief Bai Zhi?"
At this time, Bai Zhi was almost subdued by Qing Ping's coercion and inducement.
Now that she saw Fang Ze appear, suddenly, she seemed to have found her backbone.
Some people, even if they are weak in strength and have a low-level position, still have that kind of charisma.
It seems that as long as he is around, the sky cannot stand, and my heart feels extremely at ease.
Thinking of this, a smile broke out on Bai Zhi's face. Then she looked at Qing Ping and said seriously, "Deputy Director Qing, Fang Ze is right."
"Special task force, actually I am just in name. Fang Ze has always been the one doing the actual work."
"There are some things that you may need to ask for his opinion on."
After hearing what Bai Zhi said, Qingping's face turned pale.
But she still endured it, then looked at Fang Ze and snorted coldly, "Okay. Since the special task force is your decision."
"Then I'll tell you what happened and see what you think."
As she spoke, she asked, "Commissioner Fang Ze, what is the scope of authority of the Security Bureau?"
Fang Ze waved to the commissioners who had blocked him just now, gesturing for them to go out, and closed the door with his backhand. He naturally sat in the seventh seat, and then replied, "Combating the criminal behavior of the awakened people. Detecting the crimes of the awakened people."
Case. Protecting the Internal Security of the Federation."
Qingping nodded, and then said, "Since you know, then I don't need to waste more time."
"After research, the state affirmed your contribution to the case."
"However, it is also believed that in this case, there was no criminal behavior committed by the awakened person, but a job crime."
"Therefore, it was decided to hand over the case to the state Department of Supervision."
"Do you have any objections?"
Qingping's routine had been used once just now. It was reasonable and in compliance with the regulations. Therefore, everyone present felt that Fang Ze could not refute it.
In the end, no one expected that Fang Ze said without hesitation, "Of course I have an opinion."
"Huh?" Qingping's eyes flashed dangerously, "What do you think?"
"You don't think you started this case and you made a huge contribution, so you want to keep doing it, right?"
What she said was very heart-wrenching, and she almost said the word "grabbing credit" directly.
However, Fang Ze didn't answer the question at all. Instead, he stood up with a smile and said, "Sir, I think you misunderstood."
"I don't care whether the credit is great or not. I don't care who solves the case."
"After all, it's all for the federation and for Cedar State!"
"Then why do you still have opinions?" Qingping looked at Fang Ze.
Fang Ze smiled and said, "Because you don't understand the situation, and you still only know the progress of the case three days ago."
"Actually, the nature of this case has already changed in the past few days."
Hearing Fang Ze's words, several people present were stunned.
Qingping couldn't help but look at Bai Zhi.
Bai Zhi was actually very panicked.
She had no idea what Fang Ze was talking about or what he was doing. In the past few days, the special task force had been following the state's orders, suspending all operations and not advancing the case at all.
Therefore, she actually didn't know what new changes had taken place in the case.
But since Fang Ze said that, of course she couldn't ruin it, so she nodded and said seriously, "Yes. That's right. The case has been updated."
When Qingping heard this, she slammed the table angrily and yelled, "Nonsense! I remember the state issued an order asking you to suspend the case for the next few days!"
"You actually disobeyed orders and continued to investigate secretly?"
Seeing what Qingping said, Fang Ze quickly said, "Sir, you misunderstood. We are the most obedient to orders. After the state issued the order, we suspended the case."
Qingping, "Huh? Then"
Fang Ze smiled and then said, "But... the case has changed on its own."
As he said that, he took out a document and handed it to Qingping while explaining, "That's it. A few days ago, at the same time that we arrested Minister Qianfeng, Huajian from our Emerald City Security Bureau
The section chief suddenly disappeared mysteriously."
"Originally, we didn't pay much attention to this matter."
"After all, the Security Bureau is often out in the field. It's normal to disappear for a day or two."
"But what's strange is that Section Chief Huajian didn't go to work for three or four days in a row, and he didn't ask for leave."
"And neither Chief Bai Zhi, Chief Gu Qing, nor their colleagues in the same department found out that he had any outing missions."
"At this moment, I received a report from the masses."
"It was said that someone saw a masked man fighting with Section Chief Huajian near the security bureau, knocked him unconscious and took him away."
"I visited some nearby people and made inquiries. I confirmed the truth of the matter."
"In order to find out the truth of the matter, we urgently investigated Section Chief Huajian."
"In the end, it was discovered that he actually had a close connection with Qianfeng and Qiuyue. Moreover, there were many unseen activities between the three of them. He should be another member of this organization."
"So, we have reason to suspect that Section Chief Huajian may have been silenced or held hostage by some people because he knew too many secrets."
"And because Section Chief Huajian's strength is at the first level of fusion, so according to the situation at that time, the awakened person who held him hostage should be at least at the third level of fusion."
Hearing Fang Ze's words, Qingping asked in a deep voice, "Why didn't you report this matter?"
Fang Ze smiled and said, "Didn't you say that the state issued an order and the special task force suspended all investigations."
"So, after we found out that Section Chief Huajian was related to this case, we suspended the investigation and sealed the files."
"I plan to report to you after the restart."
Qingping's face turned red with anger when she heard Fang Ze use his own words to refute her.
And that's not the end of it. After Fang Ze said this, he asked, "Although this is all a coincidence."
"But sir, do you think this falls within the jurisdiction of the Security Bureau?"
"Besides, let's not talk about the scope of jurisdiction. One of the section chiefs in our bureau was kidnapped, and his life and death are unknown. This is a proper internal matter."
"It cannot be left to other departments to handle."
"That's too embarrassing."
Hearing his words, the entire conference room fell silent for a moment.
Bai Zhi and Xunyi looked at each other, and Lu Qing smiled and yawned.
Qingping, on the other hand, looked at Councilor Wu aside with an expressionless expression.
After hearing what Fang Ze said, Councilor Wu was silent for a while.
After a moment, she laughed twice and suddenly changed the subject, "This should be the newly recruited genius commissioner of Emerald City, Fang Ze, right?"
"Sure enough, it's well-deserved."
"In just a few days, there have been new developments in the case."
When Fang Ze heard this, he quickly defended, "Sir, the progress of this case has nothing to do with me. Coincidence, everything is just a coincidence."
Seeing that Fang Ze was not leaking water, Councilor Wu did not continue to dig holes.
She thought for a while and then asked, "This new criminal case shouldn't require Commissioner Jiang Cheng to stay and continue to cooperate with the investigation, right?"
Fang Ze smiled and said, "Of course. After all, Commissioner Jiang Cheng is a noble. Even if there is a problem that needs to be reviewed, it will be investigated by the noble tribunal, right?"
"Our security bureau can't control it."
Between the two sentences, the exchange of conditions between the two parties was completed.
Although it did not meet Councilor Wu's expectations, her mission was only to take Jiang Cheng out, and the rest was incidental.
So, she finally nodded,
"Okay. Since this is the internal affairs of the Security Bureau, and it involves the Awakened Person's crime, there is no need to transfer the case to the Supervision Department."
"It's just that solving crimes is both a right and a responsibility."
"The case is in your hands and must be solved as soon as possible. There can be no delay!"
After hearing what Councilman Wu said, Fang Ze smiled and nodded.
This matter was settled during the conversation between the two.
The mood at the scene could not help but relax.
But at this moment, Jiang Cheng, who had been holding a book and looking down at the whole meeting, suddenly spoke, "Wait a minute."
After hearing his words, everyone present couldn't help but look at him.
Jiang Cheng closed the book and put it on his right hand. He then raised his head and looked at Councilor Wu expressionlessly, then looked at Fang Ze, and said slowly, "I don't agree to keep this case in the security guard."
Bureau."

There is another chapter today, probably around 6pm.
I have been a little busy recently, and my fingers are uncomfortable and painful, so I write slowly. Please be accommodating. Ten thousand words a day is indeed a bit difficult for a handicapped person like me. But I have been persevering.
