Everyone Here Is a Talent

Inside the detention center.

Zhang Wei looked dejected. He sat with his legs crossed, frowning as he pondered a question.

What exactly did I do wrong?

He carefully recalled everything that happened yesterday, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't figure out what he had done wrong. So, in the end, he began to come up with an answer in his mind.

I am absolutely innocent.

He wasn't the only one in the detention center; there were several others who had been arrested for committing crimes.

Unlike Zhang Wei, they didn't become thinkers; instead, they started chatting.

"Brother, how did you get in here? What did you do wrong?" someone asked.

"I don't know either, I just accidentally came in."

"How was it an accident?"

"Here's what happened: Yesterday, I had a few drinks and accidentally saw a beautiful woman who was also drunk. I ended up taking her to a hotel, and then I accidentally tripped and fell, and ended up sleeping until dawn. When the girl woke up, she accidentally touched her phone and called the police, and that's how I ended up here."

A young man in his early twenties squatted there, looking completely innocent, and said, "Tell me, don't I look innocent?"

"It was indeed a very careless mistake."

The young man asked, "So how did you get in?"

"I'm even more innocent. I'm just an electric bike seller. The day before yesterday, a customer asked me to buy an electric bike, so I got up early in the morning to go to the street to get stock. I happened to see a brand new electric bike parked in front of a shop, so I pried open the lock to take it away. But before I could even deliver it, I was caught. They even accused me of stealing. Isn't that ridiculous? I was buying stock openly and doing legitimate business. How did I become a thief?"

"This is absolutely outrageous!"

"Well, you're pretty unlucky, friend. How did you get in?" the young man asked Zhang Wei.

Zhang Wei said, "Last night I got lost and somehow ended up in an unfamiliar alley. An older woman asked me if I wanted a massage, which I obviously refused. But then she heard I could have chicken, so I agreed. But in the private room, an older woman I didn't know came in and tried to pull down my pants. Of course, I wasn't going to let her get away with it, so I kicked her. That's how I got dragged here."

"You be the judge. I'm an adult. What's wrong with playing PUBG? Is it wrong? It's definitely not wrong, so I'm certain I've been wronged."

"Then you're the unluckiest one. People these days really aren't careful enough when handling cases. I know that from personal experience," a burly man next to him said, shaking his head.

Zhang Wei asked, "Then how did you get in?"

"I'm even more innocent than you! I just asked a few girls on the street for a few wallets. Let me make this clear, those girls gave them to me voluntarily. I didn't force them. They didn't want them, so I took them. Then, the patrol officers spotted me and came up to ask what was going on. I was afraid of being misunderstood, so I reached into my pocket and made an eight, meaning they should let me go. Then someone said I had a gun and was dangerous, and they immediately pinned me to the ground. Tell me, isn't this a frame-up?" the burly man said angrily.

"I don't know when I'll be able to get out of here. My wallets are still in the trash can. They'll probably be taken away by the garbage collectors during the day. They were all kindly given by those girls."

"What's your wallet compared to this? I haven't even delivered the electric scooter to the seller yet. This deal, which was practically a done deal, has been ruined. The customer is probably still waiting for my reply. If I don't deliver the goods, my honest business, which I've built up over many years, will definitely go out of business."

"Don't be discouraged, don't worry, it's just a small misunderstanding. Once it's cleared up, everything will be fine. You won't be detained for long, at most a few dozen hours."

These people talked among themselves and comforted each other.

Everyone in the detention center is talented and speaks very nicely; I'm starting to like it here.

Zhang Wei thought to himself.

But then again, will Brother Leg actually come to my rescue?

At this very moment.

Inside the bureau.

Yang Jian and Liu Jianguo, after talking on the phone, arranged to meet.

When he arrived, he saw that everyone in the department was busy, seemingly handling all sorts of cases, big and small. Some were serious cases, some were trivial neighborhood quarrels or marital fights, and of course, there were some rather unusual paranormal events. The first thing to do was to create a file for such cases, then report them and transfer the case.

As the team leader, Captain Liu faces the greatest pressure.

In case of an emergency, he needs to lead a team to the scene; otherwise, he needs to handle official business.

"Xiao Zhang, that document is very important. Send it upstairs immediately."

"Don't ask me what to do, just catch them first. What? They escaped? Check the surveillance footage and bring them to justice immediately. We absolutely cannot let them get away with this."

"The situation in that neighborhood is a bit complicated, involving a special incident. Let's stabilize the situation first and prevent panic from spreading. We absolutely cannot afford to lose our composure at this critical juncture. We have received a strict order from above to maintain order in Dachang City and protect the lives and property of the people at all costs. The lockdown is also for the good of the nearby residents. If they don't understand, we should patiently explain it to them."

"I need results, not reports. What's the point of writing so many reports? Continue the review, stop with the useless stuff."

Captain Liu was busy in the office hall. Many cases required his opinion, which made him feel that even working 24 hours a day was not enough.

However, if this is the case in his district, the other districts aren't much better.

These are unusual times.

Team Leader Liu rubbed his head. He felt tired, but he also felt a great responsibility and couldn't afford to be careless, after all, he was in this position.

"Captain Liu, you seem very busy," Yang Jian. "Looks like I came at the wrong time and took up your time."

Team Leader Liu looked up and shook his head with a wry smile when he saw Yang Jian: "No, you're wrong. I can only rest now that you're here. After all, there are regulations from above that prioritize special matters, even small ones. Everything else can be put on hold for now. After all, your every move is, to put it bluntly, related to the life and death of Dachang City."

"What case could be bigger than the safety and survival of millions of people?"

Yang Jian, "Don't make it sound so serious. I'm not qualified to comment on the lives of millions of people; that's a matter for the country. I'm here mainly to take care of some personal business."

"I already mentioned on the phone that you wanted to see Zhao Kaiming, right?"

Team Leader Liu stood up and, taking advantage of the break, made himself a cup of tea. "Would you like some tea?"

"No need, thank you," Yang Jian.

Captain Liu said, "I do have Zhao Kaiming's contact information, but I only contact him in special circumstances. I wouldn't dare to call him unless there's something important. He's not an easy person to get along with, which is understandable. After all, people who haven't received special training always have some flaws, and their ideological awareness isn't very high."

"By the way, don't tell that Ghost Tamer Zhao about these things, or I'll be punished again."

Yang Jian laughed and said, "Don't worry, how could that be? I'm not a talkative person, and I don't like that Zhao Kaiming either."

"What do you need him for?" Captain Liu asked.

Yang Jian, "It's just to confirm one thing."

"Here's what we'll do. I'll give you his GPS-enabled phone number. You can call him and see. But you can ask your operator about this, so why make a special trip?" Captain Liu said.

Yang Jian, "By the way, I have a personal matter to discuss. I'd like to get someone out of trouble. I wonder if Captain Liu could do me a favor?"

"What did you do wrong? If it involves a serious case, then I can only apologize," Captain Liu said.

"Probably not, maybe it's just a misunderstanding," Yang Jian.

Captain Liu said, "Tell me the name, and I'll have someone check. If it's just a minor matter, I can release him early. But if it involves a major case, even if you want to bail him out, I won't allow it. This is a matter of law, please understand."

"Of course, I won't make things difficult for you, Captain Liu," Yang Jian. "My friend's name is Zhang Wei, he's the same age as me, and he definitely doesn't seem like someone who's committed a crime."

"Okay, this is Zhao Kaiming's satellite-positioned phone number. You can contact him."

As he spoke, Captain Liu instructed someone to investigate what crime the man named Zhang Wei had committed.
