Chapter 83: Part-time Detective Fly Kudo

  Zhang Jun felt a slight pain in his arm, he looked at Shen Rong and saw concern in her eyes, which made him feel a bit strange. He smiled and said: "I'm guilty, I'll treat everyone to dinner tonight, consider it my apology."

  Finally, Zhang Wu and Li Yunfei tactfully stepped aside to let Zhang Jun and Shen Rong get into a car. Zhang Jun had originally planned to return to his residence hotel, but Shen Rong said that Lao Yiwei Rongguang of the Criminal Investigation Brigade wanted to see him and had set up a banquet at a five-star restaurant in Kyoto.

  After staying in No. 4 Prison for more than a month, Zhang Jun saw the problem as very different from before, and he immediately agreed to go with Li Yunfei and Zhang Wu together.

  Upon arrival at the hotel, Zhang Jian found that there was a familiar face, Qin Huo, the head of the criminal investigation team, and a middle-aged man with a strong presence. Shen Rong introduced the middle-aged man to everyone: "This is our old leader of the Criminal Investigation Brigade, Wei Rongguang."

  Wei Rongguang stood up, his eyes fixed on Zhang Jun, and smiled: "Little Zhang, I've been waiting for you for half a day. I must thank you, helping our detachment crack two big cases in a row."

  Zhang Jun said with a smile: "It's no trouble at all, I didn't exert myself either, you're being polite."

  "Take a seat." Wei Rongguang let everyone sit down, then stared at Li Yunfei and said, "Yunfei, your nose is quite sharp, I'm inviting you out for the first time and you already know about it."

  Li Yunfei is a national security officer and often has dealings with the criminal investigation team, so he naturally knows Wei Rongguang.

  Listening to him joking about himself, Li Yunfei smiled and said: "You Wei Rongguang are known as the Iron Rooster, not spending a single penny. I've been waiting for this meal for ten years, and today I finally got what I wanted."

  He burst out laughing loudly after finishing speaking.

  Then Zhang Jun introduced Zhang Wu to everyone. As soon as he heard the name of Zhang Wu, Wei Rongguang's expression became solemn and he looked at him saying: "So you are the famous Zhang Wu from Donghai, I have long admired your name. Last year our people went to Donghai to handle a case and offended you, so here I am apologizing to you."

  Zhang Jun could tell it was sarcasm, and it seemed that Zhang Wu and Wei Rongguang had an unpleasant experience between them.

  Zhang Wu was quite broad-minded and raised his cup, laughing: "Wei brother, the one who beat you last time was my fault, I should be the one to apologize." As he spoke, he stood up to toast.

  Wei Rongguang also knew Zhang Wu's energy, and as soon as he saw the other party lower his head, he immediately showed a smile and said: "Brother Zhang is polite, everyone is a friend of Little Zhang, and in the future, we will be friends too. In the future, when my people go to the east on business, please ask Brother Zhang to take care of them more."

  "Alright, I'll say it," Zhang Wu smiled and said, "Your criminal investigation team's business is my business, I will definitely cooperate fully."

  Zhang Jun thought, "When did I become friends with you?" But he couldn't say it out loud and could only laugh along with the crowd.

  After some polite conversation, Wei Rongguang got to the point and asked Zhang Jun: "Little Zhang, what are you doing now? Are you interested in joining our criminal investigation team?"

  As soon as the words came out, Li Yunfei and Zhang Wu both laughed. Li Yunfei said: "Old Wei, you don't know a treasure when you see one. My brother's master is the famous Chinese medicine doctor Hua, who is also a shareholder of a jewelry company, with assets worth hundreds of millions. Would such a person run to your criminal investigation team to be a police officer?"

  Wei Rongguang was stunned for a moment, and it took him half a day to come back to his senses. He sighed bitterly: "I was reckless, I was reckless."

  Who would have thought that Zhang Jun thought for a moment, but said: "To be honest, my childhood wish was to become a detective, punishing the bad guys in the world. Even now, I'm still very interested, unfortunately, I don't have time to be a qualified detective."

  Wei Rongguang understood, Zhang Jun wasn't unwilling to be a policeman, but he didn't have the time or energy. He really didn't want to give up on such a talented person, so his mind was racing quickly, suddenly, he had an idea and turned to ask Qin Huo: "Qin Huo, didn't the higher-ups issue a document asking our criminal investigation team to find some part-time personnel with expertise in criminal investigation?"

  Qin Huo naturally understood Wei Rongguang's meaning and hastily said: "Right, right, the top gave us two quotas. The document says that part-time personnel enjoy the treatment and authority of ordinary police officers, but do not need to report every day, only need to provide necessary assistance at the time of criminal investigation."

  Wei Rongguang said "oh" and turned to Zhang Jun, "Little Zhang, I think this part-time detective job is very suitable for you. You see, we usually don't encounter many big cases, only one or two a year, it won't take up too much of your time."

  Zhang Jun's heart moved slightly as he thought for a moment and smiled, "When your police team needs me, I may not be able to arrive in time, it's still a bit inappropriate."

  "It doesn't matter!" Qin Huo said immediately, "If you have time, come over; if not, then don't. Since we'll all be in the same detachment in the future, we should take care of each other. I can handle this small matter."

  Wei Rongguang nodded and said: "That's right, you come when you have time, don't come when you don't have time. It will absolutely not affect your normal life."

  As soon as she heard this, Shen Rong's heart suddenly became tense, and she quietly stared at Zhang Jun, hoping that he would agree. Even she herself couldn't explain why she had such thoughts, the thoughts just emerged from her subconscious like a sudden burst.

  On the other hand, Zhang Jun understood that the conditions were so lenient, and they had already opened a convenient door for him. If he didn't agree now, it would be somewhat unreasonable. He smiled and said, "Alright, I'll ask Commander Wei and Captain Qin to guide me more in the future."

  Qin Huo was overjoyed. The criminal investigation team had gained a great general like Zhang Jun, and from now on they wouldn't be afraid of any more difficult cases!

  Wei Rongguang was also delighted and said: "Good! This is a great joy for our criminal investigation team, let's celebrate with a drink!"

  During the drinking process, Li Yunfei told Zhang Jun about the incident of robbing a piece of jade rough stone that happened more than a month ago.

  "After interrogation, we smashed the opponent's lair, seized 300 million in cash and a large amount of jade stone. The two main suspects have also been caught."

  "Those two people brought it upon themselves and should be dealt with severely. It would be best if they were locked up for 10 or 8 years."

  "This case was handled by me, rest assured, the old and young are enough to be shot twice." Qin Huo interjected, continuing to explain, "After our interrogation, we found that these two had also been involved in murder and robbery before, and not just once."

  Zhang Junqi said: "These two people are so bold, dare to have the idea of killing and robbing, what is their origin?"

  Qin Huo's spirit came, and he said: "Their background is really not small. The old man is called Xu Zhong, and the young man is called Xu Shaoan. Both of them are from the Xu family's side branch of the Feicui gang, and they do all sorts of shady business."

  Zhang Jun was extremely surprised and did not expect that this matter would involve the Xu family. He thought for a moment, then said: "Did the Xu family not intervene in this matter?"

  With the wealth of the Xus, even if these two people committed a capital offense, they could still buy their way out. First, the death sentence would be commuted to death with reprieve, then from death with reprieve to life imprisonment without parole, and life imprisonment without parole could be changed to life imprisonment with parole. After serving several years of life imprisonment with parole, they could be released.

  Qin Huo nodded: "The Xu family did intervene, but this case is supervised by the National Security Agency. Whoever comes forward will be useless. They are dead."

  Zhang Jun finally breathed a sigh of relief and continued drinking with everyone else.

  After the wine was scattered, Qin Huo took him to the Criminal Investigation Brigade to handle the part-time procedures, which only took more than half an hour from start to finish. After completing the procedures, Shen Rong suggested that everyone celebrate together in the evening and pulled all the people of the entire criminal investigation team.

  Zhang Jun was very helpless and didn't want to refuse, so he had to sacrifice himself to accompany the gentleman. When he walked out of KTV and returned to the hotel, it was already 1 o'clock in the morning.

  He returned to the hotel and first called Lin Xian to report his safety. It had been more than a month since they last contacted each other, and as soon as he heard Lin Xian's voice, he felt an unusual warmth in his heart.

  "Little brother, how come there's no news from you for over a month? I asked Zhang Wu, he said you're in a special place and it's inconvenient to contact the outside world. Where did you go?" Lin Xian fired off a string of questions.

  Zhang Jun smiled and said: "The place I went to has military secrets, and it's not allowed to make external calls, so there was no way for me to contact you."

  Lin Xian half believed and doubted, saying: "Military base? What are you doing in a place like that?"

  "Oh, there's a batch of critically ill patients in the military district who need my help." Zhang Jun said casually, not wanting to tell Lin Xian about going to prison, lest she worry.

  After chatting on the phone for more than half an hour, Lin Xian finally mentioned the situation of Feicui. At this time, her tone was extremely excited: "Little brother, do you know? The last batch of Feicui you transported, unexpectedly had a top-quality jade stone as big as a winter melon, which shocked even the master who appraised the stone."

  Zhang Jun smiled and said: "I think this piece of jade should be treated as a treasure, find the best jade carver to carve it into a masterpiece."

  Lin Xuan said: "I think so too. Such a good thing, it's really a pity to sell it. It's priceless and hard to find in the world."

  "En, you've made up your mind. As for me, I still need to stay in Kyoto for a while and continue to gather some goods. You're alone in Donghai, be careful with everything, if anything happens, just contact Zhang Wu, he'll help you." Zhang Jun said with concern.

  "I understand, you can rest assured and don't worry about this side." Then he paused for a moment and said, "Next month is my grandfather's 77th birthday, do you want to come over?"

  Zhang Jun didn't hesitate and said: "Of course I'll go, I've never been to your home formally, it's a good opportunity to take a walk. What does your grandfather like? I'll prepare in advance."

  Lin Xian smiled and said, "My grandfather's favorite is still jadeite. He's a big collector of jadeite. Just help him pick out a high-quality piece of jadeite." She paused for a moment before continuing, "By the way, little brother, since you're in Kyoto now, there's someone you must go visit."

  "Who?" Zhang was very curious.

  "Known as the Northern First Knife, Master Yu Da Zhong Shi, Mr. Su Pingnan. You have good jade, he has good craftsmanship, you two together, don't worry about not producing something good." Lin Xian said excitedly, "He is an old friend of my grandfather's, being able to get along with him, Grandfather will look at you in a different light."

  Zhang Jun burst out laughing and said, "Alright, you tell me the address. I'll find a few nice pieces of jade and go visit Master Su. Then, I'll give your grandfather a surprise, so he can look at me, his future grandson-in-law, in a new light."

  Lin Xian was delighted in her heart, but she said with a straight face: "You're so annoying!"
