Chapter 487 – Chief Feng’s phone call (1/2)
Airport.
China Eastern Airlines Police Station.
Dong Xuebing, Luo Haiting, and the rest are brought to a small room, but Team Leader Sun didn’t question them. He locked them in the room and left.
Luo Haiting apologized. “Chief, I don’t know anything about that newspaper. This…”
Dong Xuebing waved his hand. “It’s alright.”
“But the flight….”
“There’s still time.”
Dong Xuebing knew this is an accident. Quan Zhi Gong has been giving out their promotional materials aggressively and can be found in almost every household. They will stuff it into the residences’ mailboxes, and anyone can bring it back accidentally. Luo Haiting must have grabbed a piece of newspaper to wrap her apples without noticing it. If she knows this newspaper is promotional material for Quan Zhi Gong, she will never use it. The problem now is how are they going to explain themselves.
Five minutes…
Ten minutes…
Twenty minutes passed, and the door opened again. Three men in Police uniforms entered.
Dong Xuebing noticed these people’s uniforms are different from the Airport Police. Although the Police Officers at the airport are also called Police, they are not hired under Beijing Public Security Bureau. They are hired by the airlines. These three officers should be from Chao Yang Police Station, and one of them should be a Deputy Chief. Dong Xuebing knows this is going to be troublesome as it involves politics. The Airport Police does not want to get involved and referred this case to the local Public Security Bureau.
“Is this Quan Zhi Gong’s brochure yours?” The Deputy Chief looks at them coldly.
Luo Haiting quickly reply. “It’s in my bag, but it is not mine. Someone might have put it in my mailbox, and I used it to wrap apples without noticing it.”
The Deputy Chief asked. “Your name?”
Luo Haiting frowned and replied. “Luo Haiting.”
The Deputy Chief continued asking, and another officer quickly records it. “Your occupation?”
“Fen Zhou City, Yan Tai County Investment Promotion Agency.” Luo Haiting paused for a second. She still wants to catch her flight and doesn’t want to waste time. “Office Director.”
The Deputy Chief looks at her. “Government Servant?”
Luo Haiting took out her work pass and put it on the table. “I believe all of you should know this is a misunderstanding. If I am going to promote Quan Zhi Gong, I will not put it in my bag. Furthermore, I am a Party member, and I know what I should not do. We need to catch our flight to Tokyo to attend our City’s investment fair. Chief, can you let this pass?”
The Deputy Chief refused. “You are not allowed to leave even if you are government staff. Come with me to our station, and we can talk about it after we recorded your statement.”
Luo Haiting turns pale. “How long will it take?”
“Don’t think of catching the flight today. Bring them back.” Luo Haiting is only a small County Leader, and the Deputy Chief is not bothered.
Luo Haiting cannot accept this!
Dong Xuebing is also mad. “It’s not that serious.”
The Deputy Chief replied coldly. “You all are government staff and should know this is not a small issue.” He waved that piece of Quan Zhi Gong brochure. “This is a critical period, and you all still dare to bring it on board the plane? You all are asking for it. It’s your fault for not noticing it, and we are just doing our work. Pack your things and follow us back to the station. Hurry up!”
Hmph! You still dare to scold me?!
Dong Xuebing is furious. “Hey, you must be flexible when attending to cases and not jump to conclusions! How many people are you going to catch if you blow things up for every case you attend?”
Another officer shouted. “Who are you to say this?!”
The Deputy Chief looks at Dong Xuebing. “We don’t need you to teach us how to do things!”
Dong Xuebing’s exploded as it’s getting nearer to their flight departure. “Don’t bullshit with me. Are you investigating this case?! You are picking on us! You had seen our documents and know our workplace. What else do you need to know? Huh? This is only a misunderstanding, and you want to escalate it?! Stop showing me this attitude!”
Yu Rui is sweating as he thought to himself. Chief Xiao Dong had started arguing with the Deputy Chief, and they are in Beijing now! This is not Yan Tai County, and they…
“Shut up!” The Deputy Chief also got mad. “Are you all refusing to come with us?”
The two Officers behind him took out their handcuffs.
Luo Haiting quickly steps in front of Dong Xuebing. “What are you all trying to do?! The brochure is found in my bag and has nothing to do with my Leader!”
The Officers are stunned. The youngest person in the group is their Leader?!
But the Deputy Chief doesn’t care. He is determined to bring them back, even if he is a County Mayor.
Ring… ring… the Deputy Chief’s phone rang.
He looks at the number and answers. “Hello, Chief Yang…”
“Are you not in the station?”
“No. I am attending to a case at the airport. We have arrested a group with Quan Zhi Gong’s brochure.”
