Chapter 53 Don’t you ask me why I’m looking for you?
Beijiang Branch.

An important meeting is currently underway, a mobilization and deployment meeting for a special operation against theft crimes.

“To be honest, it’s a bit late to hold this mobilization meeting now. It should have been held two days ago.”

As soon as Xing Shixuan came in, he threw the materials in his hand onto the table: “According to the news from the Municipal Bureau, the so-called Thief God Selection Conference of the Thief Sect will be held in Ningcheng, and it will be held in the next few days.”

“Director Xing, do you know the exact date?” Li Anmin, who was sitting below, raised his hand. “And the approximate location of their meeting. With these, we can plan the strike action.”

“If the Municipal Bureau knew this, would it be my turn to say this?”

Li Anmin smiled awkwardly.

Xing Shixuan said unhappily, “The exact time is still unclear. The police officers who infiltrated our city bureau are completely half-baked in this regard. They can’t get in touch with the core, and can’t even get access to slightly important information. We only know that the location of their Thief God Selection Conference is in our Beijiang area.”

Li Anmin frowned.

Beijiang’s jurisdiction is so large, even if the other party has a lot of people, they don’t go together. In addition, companies nowadays like to do team building and the like. It is too difficult to find a group of people who hold the Thief God Selection Conference under so many circumstances.

The key point is that without knowing the exact time and with extremely limited manpower, it is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

“Director Xing, since people from the Municipal Bureau have infiltrated, can’t we just arrest a few people and interrogate them?”

“Li Anmin, I noticed that you always like to ask stupid questions today.”

“What you can think of, the Municipal Bureau can’t think of?”

Xing Shixuan frowned and said, “It’s said that the police officer from the Municipal Bureau is a half-baked one. Who do you think he is in contact with? This is just like asking you to go undercover. You are a small fry who just got in and you don’t have any skills. What important information do you think you can get access to?”

“There are so many people in the Thief Sect. Except for the core members, the others don’t know each other. At most, they know that the Thief God Selection Conference will be held soon, but they don’t know when and where it will be held. Do you think they will tell irrelevant people except those who are qualified to participate?”

“The more people who know, the higher the risk of exposure.”

“Most of those who can get into the core are middle-aged thieves with an annual income of several million or even tens of millions. Once caught, they will face at least ten years in prison. Do you think such important information would be known by ordinary minions?”

Li Anmin shook his head. It was unlikely. No, it should be said that it was impossible.

But Li Anmin was not concerned about this. Instead, he asked in surprise, “Can you earn hundreds of millions a year by stealing?”

Xia Jie, who was sitting in the front row, was also secretly amazed.

To be honest, it was the first time she heard that a thief could earn millions or even tens of millions a year.

Not to mention Xia Jie, everyone else also stared with their eyes wide open, apparently a little shocked.

Xing Shixuan had expected everyone’s reaction, so he just rolled his eyes and said, “Don’t look at me like that. I’m a normal person like you. I was also shocked when I heard about this. After all, a normal person’s first reaction to hearing about someone making hundreds of millions a year by stealing is to not believe it.”

“We have never come into contact with the Thief Sect before… No, it can’t be said that we have never come into contact with it, but the Thief God Selection Conference has never been held in Ningcheng. Usually, we catch some small minions, so naturally we don’t know much about this industry.”

“After understanding it, I realized that I am also a person who only sees the world from a well.”

Having said that, Xing Shixuan also let out a rare long sigh.

To be honest, if he hadn’t heard the news from the Municipal Bureau, he wouldn’t have believed that a thief could make millions or even tens of millions in just one year with his skills.

Of course, there are definitely not many such people.

But it did shock Xing Shixuan a little, and it made him more determined to catch this gang of thieves in one fell swoop.

Millions or tens of millions of people are stolen every year. How many people have to be robbed?
However, due to the small amount of money, no case could be filed. In addition, the reporter could not say when the items were stolen, so in the end the case was left unresolved.

Originally, Xing Shixuan always thought that this was just petty theft, but he didn’t expect that the theft actually had an organization, and this organization was so huge that it was frighteningly large.

Stealing door.

Even more, a thief selection conference is held every few years, and the best of them even earn tens of millions a year. If such an organization is not destroyed, who knows how many people will be robbed in the future, and how much people’s hard-earned money will be taken away by a group of thieves.

Petty theft may seem like just stealing some money, and it’s not a big crime compared to some wanted murderers.

But these people are not infringing the interests of one person, but a large group of people.

Some of the money they stole was even enough to save lives.

After receiving this news, Xing Shixuan hated this group of people to the core, especially after knowing that this group of people was holding a thief god selection conference in his jurisdiction. He immediately notified the entire bureau to hold this mobilization meeting, just to be able to catch them all in one fell swoop and eliminate all evil before these people leave Ningcheng.

Offstage, Li Anmin seemed to have thought of something, and after thinking for a while, he said, “Director Xing, didn’t the Beihai Branch catch a thief king a few days ago? I heard that guy has a very high status in the thief sect, so he should be qualified to participate in the thief god selection conference, right?”

“Could it be that the Beihai Branch hasn’t managed to pry something out of that person yet?”

Xing Shixuan glanced at Li Anmin and said, “You may not understand the people of the Daomen, especially the core members. According to the rules of the Daomen, if you are caught, it’s okay to confess your own affairs, but you must not involve other people.”

“The thief king that the Beihai Branch caught confessed a long time ago, but he only talked about the things he had done. Even if he did it with others, he never mentioned anyone else.”

Li Anmin frowned slightly. “Director Xing, Captain Feng from the Beihai Branch can’t be so incapable of even prying open the mouth of a thief, right?”

“It has nothing to do with who is interrogating me.”

Xing Shixuan shook his head and said, “Let me put it this way. I heard from the Municipal Bureau that there is a rule among the thieves that once someone leaks other people’s information, the thieves will attack them in groups. With this rule, the thief king caught in Beihai is very stubborn.”

“He even said that if he were interrogated again, he would deny everything he had confessed before.”

“Do they still have this rule?”

Li Anmin was surprised: “Are people in this line of work so difficult to deal with?”

“No wonder I haven’t heard any movement from the North Sea in the past two days. I thought they were operating in secret. So this is what’s going on.”

After hearing this, Xing Shixuan’s face darkened: “Li Anmin, you are so ashamed to mention this. Song Peng originally lived in our jurisdiction. He just went to Beihai to do some business, but he was arrested by Beihai Branch. You didn’t make any move. You have made me lose face.”

When this was mentioned, Li Anmin immediately lowered his head and dared not continue the conversation.

Xing Shixuan has lost his temper several times over the past two days because of this matter.

It would have been fine if Song Peng had been caught by someone else, but he was caught by people from the Beihai Branch. The key point is that Song Peng lived in the jurisdiction of the Beijiang Branch.

Song Peng just went there to do some work, but within an hour or two he was arrested by the Beihai Branch.

But he has been living in Beijiang area and is safe and sound. What does this mean?
This shows that Beijiang Branch is not as good as Beihai Branch!
Of course, the comparison is definitely not made in this way.

But Xing Shixuan and the head of Beihai Branch have been comparing themselves since they started working. Xing Shixuan and Fang Chuanyi of Beihai Branch were both transferred from the same army.

When they changed jobs, both of them had the rank of 22 cents each and were assigned to different branches.

That is the current Beijiang Branch and Beihai Branch, even the level is the same.

From then on, the two people compared themselves in everything.

Whoever catches a criminal today or gets promoted tomorrow will want to show off in front of the other person with drums and gongs.

When he was promoted to the top leader, Xing Shixuan’s promotion notice came one day earlier, so he went straight to Fang Chuanyi’s house for dinner with some wine.

Fang Chuanyi was so ruthless!
Even though the two of them were only one or two days apart, Fang Chuanyi has always been ashamed of this matter and would strike back at Xing Shixuan whenever he finds an opportunity.

The “hatred” between the two is already known to everyone inside.

This also leads to the situation that the people below are always comparing themselves with others, fearing that they will be outshined by the other party, and in the end their own boss might cause trouble for them.

Now in this area, Xing Shixuan was forcibly suppressed by the man from the Beihai Branch, and one can imagine how depressed he felt.

These past few days, Xing Shixuan was feeling angry and hadn’t been able to vent it, so he kept his eyes on the group of people from the Daomen Sect.

Li Anmin brought up this matter again today. If it weren’t for the mobilization meeting, Xing Shixuan would not have let Li Anmin off easily.

“I won’t bother about the Songpeng incident, but this is just one time. I don’t want Beihai to get ahead of our Beijiang branch again, especially when the Thief God Selection Conference is held in the Beijiang area.”

“During this period of time, everyone should send out everyone who can be sent out. Even if we have to search the entire Beijiang River, we must find those people from the Daomen Sect for me.”

Xing Shixuan almost shouted the last sentence.

Everyone below was silent at this moment.

Li Anmin and others smiled bitterly.

That being said, the Beijiang Branch has such a large jurisdiction that the force they can mobilize is limited. Plus, they only know that they are going to catch the person who stole the door this time, but they have no idea who they are going to catch. Even if the person is standing in front of them, they don’t know that he is the person who stole the door. How can they catch him?
To put it bluntly, even if we find the place where the Thief Sect held the Thief God Selection Conference, as long as the other party insists that it was a team building event, there is no way to arrest them without evidence.

Unless a large amount of stolen goods can be found and there is evidence, there is no need to worry.

I’m so scared, there’s no evidence at all.

Even if they are caught, they can only let them go in the end with frustration.

“That’s it. It’s over.”

Xing Shixuan waved his hand to end the mobilization meeting, but just as he was about to stand up, a call on his cell phone interrupted everyone.

Xing Shixuan looked down and saw that it was Fang Chuanyi. He held the phone and faced everyone, gritting his teeth and said, “Look, look, it’s Fang Chuanyi again. That guy called me whenever he had time these past two days. You guys are shameless, but I still have some.”

Everyone lowered their heads, feeling extremely helpless.

The guy from the Beihai Branch is really something. He knows that our Director Xing can’t stand this kind of stimulation, but he still has to call us every now and then to show off.

With so much free time, wouldn’t it be better to think about how to get a promotion and a raise?
However, this cannot be blamed on Fang Chuanyi.

Who made Fang Chuanyi so upset when Xing Shixuan promoted him a few years ago? Now that he finally found an opportunity, he must get back at him, right?
It was not unfair at all that Xing Shixuan was attacked by Feilong.

Of course, Fang Chuanyi is not a “good guy” either.

Both of these top leaders have problems.

Even if you really want to compare, there is no need to use this method!
But as subordinates, they couldn’t say anything and could only shut their mouths and remain silent.

At this time, anything you say would be wrong.

Although Xing Shixuan was angry, he did not hang up the phone in front of his subordinates. That would be too cheap and not in line with his status as the head of the branch.

He even looked at everyone and said, “I’ll turn on the speakerphone. You guys should also listen carefully to how Fang Chuanyi mocks our Beijiang Branch.”

Everyone was embarrassed for a while.

Li Anmin and some directors who came to the mobilization meeting wished they were invisible and could just get out.

But Xing Shixuan kept staring at them, so they had no choice but to stay.

After Xing Shixuan pressed the connect button, he immediately turned on the external speaker. A hearty laugh quickly came from the phone: “Old Xing, I heard that you are holding a mobilization meeting for the special operation against theft crimes. What important clues have you received from the Municipal Bureau?”

Xing Shixuan looked up at the people below him, and said calmly, “What city bureau? A police station under our Beijiang Branch has discovered some important information. They are planning to catch the gang of thieves in one fell swoop.”

“Old Xing, your ability to tell lies with your eyes open is still as good as it was back then. I have just contacted the Municipal Bureau, and the information I received is different from what you said!” Fang Chuanyi said in a calm tone. The tone of their conversation did not sound like mortal enemies at all, but rather like good friends who had not seen each other for many years.

But the more the two of them acted like this, the more Li Anmin and others below wanted to escape.

Several people looked at each other.

The storm is coming!!

The more friendly you speak now, the more resentful Director Xing will be later.

Director Fang, why did you have to call at this time instead of earlier or later?

Xing Shixuan said with a fake smile: “The Municipal Bureau has its own information channels, and we have ours. The Municipal Bureau has a comprehensive view of the overall situation, but their control over the lower levels may not be as strong as ours!”

“Well, you are right.” Fang Chuanyi sighed.

“By the way, Old Xing, why don’t you ask me why I’m looking for you?” Fang Chuanyi asked deliberately.

“What?” Xing Shixuan responded subconsciously, but he regretted it as soon as he said it. Isn’t this just running into Fang Chuanyi’s gun?
“Actually, I was thinking, didn’t we catch a thief king in the North Sea? He has some experience in this area. How about I send a few people to assist you?”

“Or, you can just give this task to us in Beihai. Anyway, you have solved a lot of big cases recently. Not only do you, Old Xing, look down on catching thieves, but this is also not something you are good at, right?”

“It just so happens that we in Beihai are good at catching thieves.”

Xing Shixuan’s face turned purple almost instantly.
