Gu Liancheng nodded slightly, and then glanced at the two special police officers behind him.
The two nodded, then came to Yan Dou's desk, put on their gloves and began to count the five boxes of arms that Ye Chen and the two had just found.
During this period, Gu Liancheng also moved a chair and sat opposite Ye Chen.
He took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, took one out and handed it to Ye Chen.
After seeing him shaking his head in rejection, Gu Liancheng handed Niu Ergou again.
The man took the cigarette, took off his mask, and held it in his mouth.
In the dark room, the firelight flashed, Gu Liancheng took a deep breath, and then slowly exhaled a puff of smoke.
"It's almost time for me to retire after this case is over."
Ye Chen smiled softly.
"If you fail two answers in a row, I don't think your director will let you go so easily."
Gu Liancheng shook his head gently.
"Even if I can't retire, at least I have to step down from the front line."
"Chen Sheng, do you still remember the young man who came to your house a few days ago?"
Ye Chen suddenly remembered the top student wearing glasses, smiled and nodded.
"That's a good idea, but it's a pity that it's too stubborn and always thinks that most things in this world are black and white."
"So there are many people in the police station who hate that kid."
"And you?"
"Do you hate him?"
Ye Chen suddenly asked.
Gu Liancheng was silent for a while, then put the cigarette in his hand to his mouth and took a deep breath.
"Lately, I've been thinking a lot about the days when I first started working as a police officer when I was 22 years old."
"My eyes are full of longing. I see in him my former shadow, running rampant and doing random things."
"If I think something is wrong, I must correct it myself."
He lowered his head and lit the ash with a smile.
The flickering sparks fell slowly, completely extinguishing their light before touching the wooden board.
In the end, it turned into a pile of useless ashes, lying quietly at Gu Liancheng's feet.
In the darkness, Ye Chen couldn't clearly see the expressions of the policemen in front of him.
"I am forty-five years old this year. Do you know what I have learned in my more than twenty years as a police officer?"
Ye Chen shook his head gently.
"Don't worry about things you shouldn't care about, don't ask about things you shouldn't ask, and don't think about things you can't understand."
"The police are always just tools and props to enforce justice. They are not justice itself."
"You just asked me what I thought of Chen Sheng."
"I can only say that I like him very much, but I also hate him."
"Because he looks so much like my old self."
"At a young age, he became the chief of the most promoted department in the police station."
"His future is bright."
"Maybe it's because of this that I have some expectations for him..."
Ye Chen didn't know what Gu Liancheng meant by expectations.
He turned and looked at the two policemen behind him who were counting the arms.
"Report! Inventory completed."
The special police officer closed the firebox again, then came to Gu Liancheng's side and saluted.
"very good!"
After throwing the cigarette butt on the ground and gently crushing it with the sole of his shoe, Gu Liancheng stood up.
"You two, although there is a reason for the incident, you are at the scene of the burglary after all. Come with us!"
Gu Liancheng tilted his head in Ye Chen's direction, and the two special police officers hesitated.
"Okay, okay, what does it have to do with you and me? Can I still run away?"
Ye Chen put his mask back on, then picked up a box of ammunition on the table and walked out of the study first.
Gu Liancheng looked at Ye Chen's back, lowered his head and smiled softly.
…
Arriving at the hall, Yan Bei and He Lian, who were originally unconscious in the utility room, had been thrown in front of everyone.
"Is everyone here?"
"Just put your things here."
Gu Liancheng came to Yan Longyue again. He stretched out his hand and directed Ye Chen and others to place the arms box in front of him.
"Who are these two?!"
Chen Sheng frowned slightly when he saw a mysterious masked man two meters tall suddenly appeared.
What kind of tricks is the old man in front of me playing?
"Don't worry about this. They are the director's people and they are here to help us this time."
"Due to various special circumstances, I can't show my face..."
Gu Liancheng gently scratched his cheek, feeling a little guilty.
"oh……"
Chen Sheng frowned and looked at Ye Chen and the two of them.
These two people look like burglars, right?
Although I was confused, the arrest operation was underway after all, and the current theme was to capture everyone in the Yan family.
"Ring ring ring ring ring!"
The cell phone in Gu Liancheng's pocket suddenly rang.
"Hello? It's me!"
After seeing the caller ID, Gu Liancheng's face lit up with joy.
"Yeah! Very good. Take him directly to the police station. The arrest operation here has also been completed."
"Let's see what we can pry out of these scumbags."
After that, he put the phone into his pocket again.
"Officer Gu, I think there must be some misunderstanding!"
"We were framed!"
Mrs. Yan looked at the five boxes of arms placed in front of her and quickly changed her tone.
She looked at Gu Liancheng and forced a smile to apologize.
"Oh? Mrs. Yan, that's not what I remembered you saying just now..."
"I remember that you seemed to say that I had no evidence, so I couldn't arrest you..."
Gu Liancheng's face suddenly showed a rather unbeatable expression.
"But now the evidence and vouchers are in front of you!"
"Although it's not necessary for you scumbags, let's do it as a routine!"
Gu Liancheng cleared his throat as he spoke.
"Ahem!"
…
Everyone kept their mouths shut tightly, wanting to see what the routine in his mouth was.
"Forget it, I forgot, Chen Sheng, come here!"
The middle-aged uncle is indeed a wonderful creature who easily fails to live up to others' expectations.
The young man who was pushed out by him had a pale face.
He turned around and glared at Gu Liancheng fiercely.
Then he looked at Yan Longyue and declared solemnly.
"The Yan family is involved in two major cases including the major counterfeit drug case on June 19 in Shen City and the major explosion at the Black Panther Club in Shen City on June 23."
"A number of heavy arms, bombs and bullets were found at Yan's house, and they are suspected of concealing firearms and ammunition."
"Therefore, Yan Longyue, Yan Dou, Yan Bei and the rest of the Yan family are arrested today."
After Chen Sheng finished speaking, Gu Liancheng stepped forward and gently clapped his hands.
"Okay, I'm done talking, let's do it!"
"They are all scum anyway. If anyone dares to resist, I allow you to use force to arrest them!"
"yes!"
Perhaps Gu Liancheng's words permitting arrest by force played a big role.
The arrest of dozens of people in the living room went surprisingly smoothly. After a while, all the Yan family members, including Yan Longyue, were handcuffed.
