The weather was cold, and Cao Anping was drinking alone at home.

"Dong Dong~"

After opening the door and seeing that it was Luo Feng, Cao Anping's impatient expression turned serious. He knew that if it wasn't an important matter, the other party wouldn't come to his door after dark.

"Brother Luo, why are you here? Come in quickly, it's cold outside."

Cao Anping made way and invited people in, only to find that Captain Tan from the police station was also following behind.

This made him even more confused. Noticing the figure of the neighbor in the yard looking over here, he slammed the door shut.

Fortunately, Luo Feng directly stated the purpose: "It is like this, Doctor Cao, the nine subordinates involved in the espionage case have all been successfully arrested.

You are directly involved, so we will inform you as soon as possible.

Also, our protection for you is about to end. Our Internal Security Department is short-staffed and we are unable to cope with all of them.

If you are still worried, you can talk to Captain Tan and ask the public security comrades to protect you for a while."

Cao Anping breathed a sigh of relief. So that was what it was. He thought someone was looking for trouble with him.

He smiled and praised sincerely: "Your Internal Security Department is really amazing. You found all the people in such a short time."

As for asking for public security protection, Cao Anping thought about it and decided to refuse.

It is a bit awkward to have someone following him to and from get off work, and given his abilities, the probability of something going wrong is very, very small.

Of course Cao Anping had a little thought, so he said tactfully:

“Since the most dangerous people in this case have all been arrested, there is no need to trouble the public security comrades any further.

But that gun...can I use it for a while longer?

If there is any accident, I can protect myself."

I originally thought it shouldn't be a big deal, but I didn't expect Luo Feng to say in embarrassment:

"I'm afraid that's not possible. Our department is quite special, and with so many privileges, the rules are naturally rigid.

The gun you used is registered in this case file. If it is not recovered, this case cannot be closed."

Cao Anping thought about it and expressed his understanding. It is true that privileged departments are prone to accidents if they are not under control.

He took out the pistol from the lining of his clothes and handed it to the other party reluctantly.

Luo Feng checked it meticulously, then said apologetically: "I'm sorry, Brother Anping, this is the rule, I can't do anything about it.

After the case is closed tomorrow, Luo Jialin and I will treat you to a drink."

After all, they got along pretty well with each other during this period, and Cao Anping even treated them to a good meal. They couldn't let people misunderstand that they were unkind.

Seeing the two of them explaining politely, Captain Tan said with a smile:

"Doctor Cao, if you are concerned about safety, you can go to the police station or your factory security department to apply for a gun for a period of time. We don't have so many rules."

Cao Anping's eyes lit up. This was a ray of hope. Although the guns of the security department and the police station were not as good as those of the internal security department, he did not mind.

However, he was still puzzled by Captain Tan's good intentions and asked, "Can the police station apply for guns? Is this appropriate?"

It's no wonder that he had some doubts. He is just an ordinary citizen. Whoever allows him to be equipped with a gun would be taking responsibility. This is different from the security department of the steel mill equipping him with a gun.

Captain Tan explained: "Others are definitely not suitable, but you are different. The major case investigated by our Public Security Bureau is directly related to you, so it naturally complies with the regulations.

By the way, I didn’t just accompany Luo Feng to ask you if you need protection.

Remember the diving equipment found in Shichahai? That case was also investigated and happened to coincide with one of the nine underlings arrested by the Internal Security Department.

Director Bai asked me to let you know that the clues you provided played a key role and made a great contribution. When the reward comes, you will be asked to go to the branch to receive it. "

After saying that, he blinked at Luo Feng with some pride, meaning that your Internal Security Department is not strong enough. Others helped you solve the case, but you didn't show any appreciation?

Luo Feng smiled bitterly and shook his head, explaining to Cao Anping: "Our department cannot subjectively commend anyone for merit, all results depend on the case files submitted.

If the higher-ups want to commend you, it will be through your unit, and it has nothing to do with our department."

Cao Anping waved his hand to indicate that he didn't care about any reward. Instead, he was very curious about how the two cases intersected.

The two did not reveal any details, seeming to be somewhat secretive, and only briefly talked about the connection.

It turned out that four of Dr. Song's nine subordinates lived near several lakes in the city, and diving equipment and oxygen cylinders were found in the cellars of their houses.

That is why the two cases were combined and investigated jointly.

The higher-ups took this matter very seriously and even alerted the senior military leaders, who invested a lot of manpower to quickly identify the hidden people.

Cao Anping was very impressed: "These guys are really cunning. They actually used such an incredible method to escape capture."

Captain Tan was deeply touched. The previous case in Shichahai had troubled them for a long time.

More than a dozen people saw the target rowing into the lake, but they eventually lost the person and didn't even know whether he was alive or dead.

Months of investigation yielded nothing, and the case is almost a cold case.

After all, in this day and age, many people don’t even know that diving equipment exists, and this limits their thinking when handling cases.

Cao Anping had a general idea of ​​what was going on, so he didn't ask any more questions and invited the two to drink together. There happened to be some snacks on the table.

The two swallowed and insisted on leaving.

He said that he would have to work overtime tonight to handle the follow-up and report the case as soon as possible. After all, this case is of great importance.
