My ancestors were all villains, yet I became a superhuman police officer!

Chapter 507 The Captain is just a cover!

In terms of brains,

Shen Hongyan knew perfectly well that he was likely far superior to Lao Zheng.

and,

Although Lao Zheng doesn't like to show his face in public...

But many people in Kyoto knew that his methods, combined with his intelligence, meant that even powerful and influential people dared not easily provoke him.

the reason is simple,

Let's take Shen Hongyan as an example.

The position is high enough, and the power in their hands is also great enough.

But Old Zheng, this seemingly ordinary man, could ruin his reputation anytime, anywhere.

They might even end up in jail!

This is what makes Lao Zheng so terrifying, and it's also the reason why Shen Hongyan has never dared to be disrespectful to him.

But now,

Shen Hongyan had to share his opinion!

"Old Zheng, may I interject?"

"I just met with the woman surnamed Qin, and she told me herself."

"She said the connections she used involved me as well."

"Could she be saying, 'I know that person too'?"

Oh?

Old Zheng's tightly furrowed brows relaxed slightly.

"That's what she said?"

"right."

Immediately afterwards, Old Zheng laughed.

"That's a bit strange. Everyone else keeps their relationships hidden, afraid that others will find out."

"Qin Mingyue actually told you so directly."

Yes,

Isn't this exactly what Shen Hongyan is worried about?

He felt that Qin Mingyue was definitely not telling the truth.

"There are only a handful of people above her in number, you can count them on your fingers."

"Among all the people I know, there's no one who could be as close to her as her."

Shen Hongyan said this with great certainty.

But Old Zheng didn't think that way at all.

"Perhaps you, Lao Shen, are mistaken."

"Qin Mingyue is just telling you that the connections she's using are also related to you."

"But she didn't specify whether the relationship was upward or downward, right?"

Ok?

These words truly left Shen Hongyan somewhat bewildered.

Aren't relationships only useful if they go upwards?

Where is there any reason to go down?

If anyone else had said that, they would probably have been asked to leave Shen Hongyan's office by now.

But if Old Zheng says that, then there must be a reason behind it.

"down?"

"You mean...?"

Old Zheng slightly raised his hand.

The midday sun, just past noon, was still a bit dazzling as it streamed through the window.

"For example, Anyang?"

Anyang?

After a pause of about one second,

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Shen Hongyan smiled.

"Old Zheng, I know you don't want me to touch Anyang for the time being, afraid that I'll make too much of a fuss and it will be difficult to handle."

"But you don't have to treat me like a fool."

"Even I have to look up to Qin Mingyue now that she's in such a high position."

"Did she use the connection from Anyang?"

"A joke? Perhaps you've gone too far?"

Yes,

Shen Hongyan didn't believe it at all.

However, his reaction was entirely within Lao Zheng's expectations.

"Yes, when I first heard about Anyang, I didn't believe it either."

"But if we think about it carefully now, he might not be as simple as we imagine."

Old Zheng spoke very slowly.

Clearly, these were words spoken after careful consideration.

The more cautious he was, the more confused Shen Hongyan became.

"Besides being the captain of the Xinhai Criminal Investigation Division, tell me, does he have any other titles?"

"no."

"Yes, I've known for a long time that he has a bunch of overprotective superiors, but what use are those people to me?"

"Of course not."

"So you're telling me the captain of the Xinhai Criminal Investigation Division could have brought Qin Mingyue to her current position? That's ridiculous..."

Before the word "light" could even be uttered,

Old Zheng's smiling eyes had already turned over.

"That's certainly possible."

Come again?

Shen Hongyan smiled and shook his head, seemingly having lost patience.

But what Lao Zheng said next made his expression gradually become serious!

"Old Shen, where was An Hongtao when he died?"

"Criminal Investigation Captain".

Shen Hongyan spoke without hesitation.

"Hmm, do you think that with his achievements or his abilities, a mere criminal investigation captain is enough?"

"Of course not."

"Then why does he still choose to stay in Xinhai and remain a stable squad leader?"

"Ha, that's because he can't get promoted, and nobody dares to let him get promoted!"

It's not that Shen Hongyan is boasting,

Rather, this whole affair was entirely his doing.

Some people are just stubborn; they won't listen to reason and will eventually have to suffer the consequences.

"His position has remained unchanged for seven years, yet he's still dissatisfied."

"If he doesn't die, who will?"

Shen Hongyan's expression was surprisingly calm.

It was as if this was just the lightest and most insignificant of his myriad methods.

But when Lao Zheng asked again,

"Let's talk about Anyang. You just mentioned his current title: Captain of the Xinhai Criminal Investigation Team."

"What a coincidence, the son perfectly inherited his father's position and even took over his father's police badge number."

"But in this world, is there really such a coincidence?"

Shen Hongyan's brows began to furrow slightly.

A sensitive light flickered in his eyes.

"Did he do it on purpose?"

Old Zheng smiled.

"It's not hard to guess after all."

"His purpose in taking over An Hongtao's position and police badge number was simply to let us know, so that we could take action."

"And you, just as he wished, successfully made the Jiang family the first to die unjustly."

Swish,

Shen Hongyan's expression panicked.

"The Jiang family, that's him..."

Before he could finish speaking, Old Zheng's lips curled into a smirk.

"It's best not to argue in times like this."

"The boss knows everything you've done, but he just doesn't want to hold it against you."

"Furthermore, sacrificing one member of the Jiang family would be worthwhile if it made you more vigilant."

"But your reaction afterwards really disappointed the boss."

Yes,

Starting with Jiang Zifang, members of the Jiang family gradually arrived in Xinhai.

But in the end, they all went and never returned.

Even if they send out a beast, it's a beast they've trained with a lot of money and effort.

Going there and not being able to come back is clearly a losing proposition.

What good boss wouldn't get angry?

And that's why Lao Zheng appeared by Shen Hongyan's side.

Shen Hongyan lowered his head.

"What exactly are you trying to say?"

Seeing that he had toned it down a bit, Old Zheng decided to let it go.

"Now that An Yang has secured the exact same position as An Hongtao did back then,"

"So, was his failure to be promoted also something you arranged?"

Shen Hongyan immediately shook his head.

"A mere Xinhai, a minor criminal investigation captain, I have no time to concern myself with him."

Snapped!

Old Zheng snapped his fingers.

"So you're telling me that Anyang's location hasn't changed either, why?"

"Aren't your grades good enough? Haven't you earned enough merits?"

"These three consecutive commendation ceremonies were all held for him alone."

"If even people like this aren't promoted, who's qualified to move up?"

The more Shen Hongyan talked, the more he realized that things were not as simple as he had thought.

It could even be said that it exceeded expectations!

"His position remaining unchanged... what does that mean?"
