Seeing Sun Chonggu grinning at him, Lu Ming was speechless for a moment.
This is the Commissioner's Office of the Longbei District Public Security Bureau.
Ren Zhonglin's management of the Longbei District was the same as that of the areas within the province. He directly set up an office and appointed officials at each level.
Sun Chonggu was already the governor of Fengxiang Road. Fengxiang Road was the most important road in Longji, adjacent to Shengjing.
Sun Chonggu’s previous positions were usually not small, but they were all honorary positions. This is his first real position with real power.
The governor of Fengxiang Province has always been selected from among the officials of the Sun faction. His father Sun Gan probably wanted to place his beloved son here for a long time, but he was always afraid that he would not be able to convince the people.
While Sun Chonggu was in Wanzhou Road, he cooperated closely with the Black Mountain Clan, and the Black Mountain Clan gave him very good comments.
He also crushed Sun Pojun's rebellion plot.
Sun Gan then proudly recommended his son as the governor of Fengxiang.
This is also a milestone event for Sun Chonggu, representing that his position as the next generation successor of the Sun faction is becoming increasingly solid.
Now looking at Lu Ming, he was extremely happy and said with a smile: "Brother, I heard you were here, I had to come!"
Lu Ming was helpless. He didn't know why this guy thought he was his lucky star. Although he had never harmed him, he had certainly not been nice to him either. Those excellent comments were just to fool Sun Gan and to alienate Sun Pojun.
It is true that Sun Gan is a very scary old man, but he also has his own weaknesses. He likes to hear good things about his son. Maybe he knows deep down that his son is not a good person who can take over the business, but he still holds out hope. Therefore, sometimes he will take the praise from the outside world seriously even though he knows it is fake.
If Sun Chonggu had not changed much, and if he really took over, once Sun Gan died, I'm afraid the Sun faction would immediately fall apart and cease to exist.
Therefore, Ren Zhonglin was probably happy to see Sun Chonggu's gradual promotion.
Lu Ming was lost in thought and forced a smile at Sun Chonggu.
Sun Chonggu was about to continue speaking with a beaming smile when a long cough sounded from the side.
The one who made the strange noise was a skinny old man.
He is the owner of this office, Commissioner Li Dan.
The old man, who looks like he has a weird personality, has been working here for more than ten years.
In a sense, the commissioner of the Longbei District Office in Shengjing is more important than the positions of the governors of the various provinces in Longbei. Li Neng is an absolute confidant of the commander-in-chief Ren Zhonglin.
Li Shen has always had a good reputation. He is an upright person, but very conservative and has a rather eccentric personality.
He seemed a little at a loss as to what to do with the new situation in Shengjing. For example, the conflict he dealt with between the Longbei patrol officers and the Anshan construction workers almost led to a bigger dispute. It was only after mediation by Westerners that the dispute ended peacefully.
He made a strange noise, and Sun Chonggu chuckled, "Uncle Li, fine, fine, I won't say anything, but my brother is really a legal expert. People from Montenegro have their own preferences. If he doesn't talk about the law, won't he be thrown into jail?"
Lu Ming was helpless. If he didn't know that this guy was a complete fool, he would have offended himself and the entire Black Mountain Clan just by saying this.
Looking at Li Neng, he asked, "Commissioner Li, do you have any legal questions? There is a good law firm in the concession area."
Li Dan waved his hand, "Brother, this is not a legal issue. Chonggu is always muddling around, so I made a mistake. But, you came at a good time! Recently, Longbei District has been plagued by thieves. Our patrol station suspects that they are thieves from Anshan. Anshan thieves are famous for being powerful. However, no matter how we guard, we cannot catch those thieves. Now people are in a panic, and even wealthy families have started to suffer thefts! It's getting worse and worse. How can people view the public security in Longbei District?"
Lu Ming nodded and listened silently.
Li Neng sighed, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, then suddenly stared at Lu Ming, "Brother, do you think there is a traitor in our police station?"
"That's possible." Lu Ming pondered, "But some thieves are really powerful and it's impossible for the police to find their tracks."
Sun Chonggu said, "How is it not a legal issue? Uncle Li, if Chonggu were to say, it was done by people from Anshan, so there is no need to arrest thieves and take the blame. We can just arrest a group of construction workers from Anshan. As for how to sentence them and how to collect evidence, isn't it a legal issue? Can't my brother Zhang do anything about it? Punish a few people from Anshan to set an example, and they will be honest, right?"
Li Neng pondered and nodded: "It can't be said that it is not a solution!"
Sun Chonggu was very proud and waved his folding fan.
Lu Ming smiled and said, "How about this, there are a few very experienced detectives in the police station in the Black Mountain Concession. Let's ask them to come over and take a look, and then form a special case team?"
Li Neng remained silent.
Lu Ming knew that Sun Chonggu's idea was quite in line with Li Neng's thoughts. It seemed that the Longbei patrol officers had suffered losses because they had not handled the conflict between the Anshan construction workers and the Longbei patrol officers well recently. Li Neng was furious and wanted to take the opportunity to make trouble for the Anshan people.
If they come to me, it's not really a theft issue, but a legal issue. They want to see how to catch the Anshan man and make it an ironclad case so that even if he appeals to the Central District Court, the case cannot be overturned.
It seems that sometimes an official's reputation is completely different when viewed from a distance and up close.
For example, if he really just arrested a few people from Anshan and made it into an ironclad case, then in the eyes of the people in Longbei District, Li Neng would naturally have done a great thing.
After all, from the perspective of Longbei people, they despise Anshan people and are more willing to believe that the recent thefts were done by the inferior Anshan people.
Anshan is the poorest of the four provinces in the Northern Territory. Moreover, the poverty in its remote areas is unimaginable. It is the kind of place where a family of four only has one pair of pants.
In Shengjing, Anshan labor is the cheapest, and people from the other three provinces more or less look at Anshan people with tinted glasses.
If something is lost in a store, anyone from Anshan will be the first person to be suspected.
But Lu Ming actually hates regionalists the most, especially those who discriminate against poor areas.
"If you are willing to form a special task force, we are willing to provide all the help we can. Otherwise, I'm afraid I can't help you. Sorry, Commissioner Li!" Lu Ming winked at Sun Chonggu.
Sun Chonggu chuckled and said, "Uncle Li, why don't we set up a special investigation team? It would be great if we can catch the thief with solid evidence!" As he spoke, he winked at Lu Ming. He really treated this commissioner as his own and a true friend.
Li Neng nodded: "Okay, then I'll listen to you. Young people have new ideas. Special case team, okay, let's set up a special case team."
"Brother Zhang, how many soldiers do you have?" Sun Chonggu asked excitedly when he saw that the matter had been discussed.
Lu Ming glanced at Li Neng and said to Sun Chonggu, "The armed military police brigade is almost a battalion. In addition, I have an engineering brigade. However, engineers are actually workers under militarized management. If we really need to mobilize combat forces, there will be only about a thousand people, about two battalions, and together, there will be about three battalions." He asked again, "What do you do?"
Sun Chonggu already raised his thumb and said with a smile: "Uncle Li, look, what did I say? My brother can't lie to me, right? Is he being honest with me?"
Li Neng had an embarrassed look on his face. He picked up the teacup and drank water, not bothering to pay attention to this second-generation rich guy.
Sun Chonggu smiled and said to Lu Ming: "Brother, nothing else, I was just thinking, if we go to war with the Haixi people in Shengjing, I want to see how many soldiers we have."
Lu Ming was helpless, as the way he was addressed was becoming more and more intimate.
However, even Li Neng didn't think there was anything wrong with him calling him "brother".
After all, as the head of the secret police, he had a bad reputation. Others would at most think that he looked young, but would not think that he was really in his early twenties.
Compared to himself, Sun Chonggu is even more of a child, so it is only natural for him to call him "brother".
"Brother, what do you think about us setting a trap and taking advantage of the Jintan Society of the Haixi people?" Sun Chonggu said excitedly.
As the governor of a prefecture, the provincial security brigade was also under his command. It was the first time that he really had great authority, and he looked at many things in a trifling way.
Moreover, it was obvious that because of his experience in Wanzhou Road, where he and Lu Ming led troops to suppress bandits, the bandits were all supported by the Haixi people, which was almost equivalent to fighting against the Haixi people. This made the Haixi people the enemy in his eyes.
Lu Ming smiled and said, "We can study it."
Li Neng was too lazy to pay attention to them. He drank his tea with helplessness in his eyes.
