I make a living solving crimes.

Chapter 239 Reckless person

The night was dim, the moon was hidden behind the clouds, and only the occasional sound of footsteps broke the silence in the Investigation Department compound.

Walking in here, Chang Wei unconsciously put away the relaxed expression on his face and gradually became serious.

When she looked at Fan Tuaner again, she had returned to her cold look.

This is not a place for laughter and fun.

Any negligence may cause huge losses.

The director of the investigation department was walking in the yard. He saw Chang Wei get out of the car and walk out from the shadow of the tree. His thick glasses hid his intimidating eyes.

"Good leadership."

Chang Wei stood at attention and saluted.

The old man pressed his palm and said, "Little Chang Wei, I knew you would come."

Chang Wei stood in a solemn posture and said loudly: "It is my duty to serve the country."

"Good, good, it's no wonder that the leaders think so highly of you." The minister walked closer and patted his shoulders heavily with a satisfied expression.

Chang Wei didn't move.

He dared to "run rampant" in the Ministry of Public Security, and even acted like a spoiled brat in front of the tall old man, but when he came here, he didn't even dare to smile casually.

"Don't be so nervous, just walk with me."

Chang Wei followed half a step behind, while Fan Tuaner was on guard not far away.

The minister put his hands behind his back, bent his waist slightly, and walked slowly, as if he was taking a stroll. His voice was also very gentle, as if he was chatting with an old man next door. "I heard you can pick locks?"

Chang Wei whispered, "A little bit."

When arresting Zhang Yu, he once used wire to open the door of the three-story villa. Although there was no one from the investigation department on the scene at that time, he did not dare to hide it at all.

The minister turned his head and glanced at Chang Wei. Seeing how cautious he was, he chuckled and said, "We're not going to arrest you. What are you afraid of?"

"I'm not afraid." Chang Wei responded quickly, adding two words in his heart - No way.

The minister retracted his gaze and continued to walk along the wall, saying in a deep tone, "When facing a major event, you must be calm. Only when you are calm can you be at peace. Only when you are at peace can you think. Only when you think can you achieve success."

Chang Wei blinked his eyes and bowed slightly, "Thank you for your guidance, Minister."

"Do you understand what this sentence means?"

"The first half is from Weng Tonghe's couplet, 'When faced with great events, stay calm, and do not believe that there are no sages in the past.' The second half is from The Great Learning."

The minister stopped and turned to look at Chang Wei in surprise. After a while, he nodded and said, "I have always believed that all success is not accidental. People outside think that you are daring and reckless. It seems that everyone underestimates you."

Chang Wei lowered his head and twitched the corner of his mouth. I'm afraid you have underestimated me before?

Did I read all those books in vain when I was running the store in my previous life?

If I don't show off, you would really think I can only throw tantrums.

It was his deliberate decision to respond to the minister's words today.

Acting like a child is sometimes very effective, as it makes no one feel comfortable arguing with a child.

But if a child pretends too much, people will really think you are a child.

Then when you cry, just give you two candies and you'll be fine!

Especially in the investigation department, he couldn't leave such a stereotype on them.

As for the fact that he could understand these words, it was not surprising. Grandpa Chang was an old Chinese medicine practitioner and was considered a semi-intellectual in the old times.

Chang Wei spent his entire life in the village until he was seven years old.

As for whether he spent his childhood catching fish and climbing trees, or studying at home, how do you verify this?

The two walked around the wall for a while and then got back to business. "Can the safe be opened?"

"Is there a password?"

"Yeah, the rotation code."

"I can try."

"How much time is needed?"

"It depends on the specific situation. If it's not too complicated, a quarter of an hour should be enough."

In fact, if he just wanted to steal something, Chang Wei could take the things out of the safe from one meter away.

But judging from the current situation, it is obviously impossible to use the power of space.

Whether it is easy to explain is one thing, but the most important thing is that this thing must be put back after being taken out.

But Chang Wei was not panicked.

The lock picking skill can only open key locks and rotate the combination... He has a keen eye.

Looking through the metal door panel, he could see the metal structure of the rotary combination lock and find the gap where the wheel and the hook were connected.

As for whether exposing one's lock-picking ability would bring unnecessary trouble.

Chang Wei didn't think too far ahead.

It’s just lock picking. There are many masters like this in the world.

More importantly, this information is very important as it allows the minister to arrange the work personally.

But he was still very confused and asked carefully, "Boss, there should be a lot of people who can open locks, right? Why did you choose a green hand like me?"

The minister stopped again, looked at Chang Wei with a sharp gaze, and after a long while he said solemnly: "Because you are one of us."

The minister spoke in a serious tone when he said “our own people”.

After hearing this, Chang Wei felt warm in his heart.

"Don't worry about this. Only you, me and her know about it. No records will be kept. I will take this secret to my grave."

"Leader, I have no concerns. I said when I first came here that it is my duty."

"That's right." The minister's expression relaxed and he returned to the demeanor of an old man next door. "I'll buy you an hour. Only Fan Tuan'er will cooperate with you in this matter. I've prepared two cameras for you. You must not let the other party find out."

"Yes, I promise to complete the mission."

He had no time to think about it at this moment.

He didn't need to think about it. Since the minister attached so much importance to it, the data in the notebook must be of great national importance.

The minister did not explain specifically who the other party was. He could not go into details, and Chang Wei did not want to listen.

The God of Audit floated in the void, slowly withdrew his gaze, and the palm that had already condensed into shape gradually disappeared.

The one hour that the minister had secured for Chang Wei was the time for the farewell party.

Therefore, the minister gave him the task at this time with great trust in him.

Because the other party will leave tomorrow morning and there may not be a second chance.

In order to allow Chang Wei to act smoothly, the Investigation Department also sent a lot of high-strength liquor to the farewell party, making sure that the other party would enjoy drinking it.

When Chang Wei arrived at the hotel, the farewell party had not yet started.

Because there was a dance, these people were washing and changing their clothes in the room.

Chang Wei changed into a waiter's uniform and walked upstairs. He glanced at the target room, frowned slightly, and did not stop.

Coming down from upstairs, he took out his watch from his pocket to check the time, then walked quietly to the room where Fan Tuaner was hiding and opened the door to go in.

"I'll trouble you to make another trip."

"Where to go?"

"Go to my house and ask the little girl to borrow Xiao Zhao."

"Xiao Zhao? Who is she? Chang Wei, this mission is top secret." Fan Tuaner reminded softly.

"Ah, Xiao Zhao is not a human, it is a cat, a black cat."

"Black cat? What do you want a black cat for?"

"There is an electric bell on the door lock of the target room. Once the door is opened, the alarm will be triggered."

"......" Fan Tuaner was shocked, this was information that she had not known before.

"It's okay, just turn off the power."

"Can't we just cut off the electricity to the floor?"

"Lead-acid batteries for doorbells."

"...Then your black cat can turn off the power switch?"

"Not only does it turn off the power, it does a backflip."

Fan Tuaner was shocked by Chang Wei's nonsense. She didn't bother to argue with him and hurried out.
