Official Career Storm Chapter 871 871:

"Knock, knock."

"Co in."

Ma Xiang entered Xiang Dong's office and shut the door.

Xiang Dong lifted his eyelids, put down the file in his hand, and asked, "Why the long face? If there's sothing, just say it."

Ma Xiang ntally prepared himself thoroughly, took a deep breath, and said, "Captain Xiang, I lost sothing."

"What did you lose?"

Ma Xiang opened his mouth, but the word "gun" felt like it was burning his tongue; he just couldn't say it out.

Xiang Dong frowned, "Speak up!"

"The gun."

The office was silent for two seconds.

After those two seconds, Xiang Dong grabbed the ashtray on the table and threw it.

Ma Xiang dodged to the side, and the ashtray hit the door with a bang.

"You motherfucker..."

"Knock, knock."

Another knock on the door was heard.

Xiang Dong held back his anger and said, "Co in!"

Chen Lin pushed open the door, glanced at the ashtray on the floor, then looked at Ma Xiang standing at the desk.

He blinked, what's going on here?

What happened?

Did I co at the wrong ti?

"Well, Captain Xiang, if you're busy, I'll co back later."

Just as he was about to leave, Xiang Dong said, "If you have sothing to say, just say it!"

"Uh... ahem."

Chen Lin walked in, glanced at Ma Xiang, and said, "Captain Xiang, I need to talk to you alone about this matter."

Xiang Dong waved his hand to dismiss him, "You wait outside for ."

"Yes." Ma Xiang left as if escaping.

Before he managed to speak, it was impossible to say anything comfortably.

Once it was out, it felt like a weight of a thousand pounds was lifted from his heart.

Although Xiang Dong cursed him and threw an ashtray at him, at least he had said it.

Now the pressure wasn't on him anymore; it was on Captain Xiang.

It felt really good to have soone share the burden.

After Ma Xiang left, Xiang Dong said, "Speak up."

"Well..." Chen Lin lowered his head, hesitating for a long ti, said: "Captain Xiang, I lost sothing too."

"???"

Xiang Dong suddenly felt that those words sounded so familiar?

His tone turned a bit bewildered, "What did you lose?"

"I..." Chen Lin hesitated for a long ti and couldn't speak.

A bad premonition rose in Xiang Dong's heart, "Did you lose the gun too?"

Chen Lin abruptly raised his head, looking at him in shock, "How did Captain Xiang know?"

"You motherfucker..."

Xiang Dong almost spat out old blood; he reached for the ashtray, found it empty, and only then rembered he had just thrown it out.

He grabbed a file and threw it over.

"Captain Xiang, I..."

"Shut up!" Xiang Dong shouted towards the door, "Ma Xiang, get in here!"

Ma Xiang walked in and stood side by side with Chen Lin.

Xiang Dong lit a cigarette, took a few fierce drags, and suppressed his anger.

"When did both of you lose your guns?"

"What?"

The two were stunned, then exchanged glances, "You lost your gun too?"

"Stop with the bullshit, answer my question!"

"I found out after I got off work yesterday."

"Sa here."

"When was the last ti you saw the guns?"

"When we clocked in the day before yesterday."

Chen Lin said, "Sa here."

"The day before yesterday?" Xiang Dong frowned, "Didn't you check in your guns when you finished work the night before last?"

Ma Xiang said, "Captain Xiang, we were interrogating Song Guanchao overnight the night before last, rember?"

Xiang Dong indeed got confused by his anger and asked, "From when you started work the day before yesterday until you clocked out last night, where did you go?"

"We went out for lunch the day before yesterday, had dinner in the office, spent yesterday morning in the office, stepped out at noon to grab so food and buy dicine from the pharmacy, then stayed in the office until we clocked out."

"Sa for ."

Xiang Dong asked, "Why did you go to the pharmacy?"

The two shuffled awkwardly, "We got beaten by Song Guanchao; it hurt quite a bit."

"..." Xiang Dong picked up the landline, "Get Xiao Xu in here."

In a short while, Xiao Xu ca in.

"Captain Xiang, you called?"

"Go check the surveillance in the office."

He pointed to the two in front of him, "Check all the surveillance of these two from the day before yesterday morning until they clocked out last evening!"

Xiao Xu looked puzzled.

Xiang Dong didn't hide the matter, "They both lost their assigned guns, go check! Find out exactly where they went missing!"

Lost their assigned guns?

And they lost two!

Xiao Xu was startled!

"Yes, I'll check right away!"

After Xiao Xu left, Xiang Dong said, "Write down the addresses of the places you ate and the pharmacy."

"Yes."

After they wrote down the addresses, Xiang Dong called over another officer: "They lost their assigned guns; these are the places where they might have lost them. Check these places; if there's surveillance, check the surveillance; if there's none, search the area!"

The officer was just as shocked, understanding the seriousness of the matter, he didn't dare delay and left taking the note.

Xiang Dong chain-smoked cigarettes, feeling extrely agitated.

At this mont, Ma Xiang suddenly said, "Captain Xiang, should we inform Director Qin about this?"

"Do you need to remind of that, motherfucker?"

After cursing, Xiang Dong picked up the landline to call Director Qin.

Such a big issue, he didn't dare conceal it.

Once the call connected and the report was delivered, Director Qin's scolding was heard through the receiver by both.

"Xiang Dong, how useless are you?"

"Was I indebted to you in a past life? Why do you keep causing trouble?"

"Do you know what ti it is?"

"Director Yang's seven-day mourning isn't even over, and you've lost the guns, and two at that!"

"Ask them clearly how many bullets were in those guns!"

"If soone picks up the guns and it causes a murder, I'll have you dismissed!"

Xiang Dong also harbored anger inside but didn't dare to say much, letting Director Qin scold him as he pleased.

After Director Qin's tirade, he said, "Arrest the two of them for !"

Xiang Dong said, "Director Qin, it wasn't intentional, and they did report it…"

"Are you fucking stupid?"

Director Qin scolded, "We just had a eting this morning, and you've already forgotten? The Provincial Departnt is going to conduct inspections and reshuffles! Losing a gun at this critical juncture, if we don't arrest them, what are we supposed to wait for the Provincial Departnt to find out before acting? By then, you'd be dragged in, motherfucker!"

Xiang Dong had almost forgotten; the Provincial Departnt was about to conduct inspections...

Goddamn, everything's happening all at once!

"Thoroughly ask these two if they've offended anyone recently, whether the guns are lost or stolen!"

After hanging up, Xiang Dong grabbed another cigarette.

After a while, he asked, "Have you offended anyone recently?"

The two shook their heads vigorously, "No, honestly, no."

In such a situation, neither dared to lie.

If they say no, it probably ans no.

Xiang Dong picked up the phone, "Xiao Li, co to my office."

A few minutes later, Xiao Li entered.

"Captain Xiang, you called ?"

Xiang Dong pointed, "Take their phones and escort them to the interrogation room."

"Huh?"

"They lost their assigned guns, take them in for questioning, follow the process."

The two's expressions darkened, but they didn't say anything.

They understood these were Director Qin's orders.

And during such a ti with such an incident, severe action would certainly be taken.

Under different circumstances, there wouldn't even be a need to inform Director Qin, Xiang Dong could suppress it and find the guns himself first.

But not now, they just happened to catch Director Yang being killed.

The Provincial Departnt needs inspection...

In such a situation, whoever dares to cover it up will surely face disciplinary action.
