Besides, the police officers who went to the scene couldn’t find the victim.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Sen had already returned with the second squad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right, the most crucial piece is missing… the old lady.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as the old lady can’t be found, this alarm is invalid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>False alarm~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Yu Dazhang was about to breathe a sigh of relief, he suddenly realized something and squeezed the paper documents in his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wrong!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why is it so thick?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s just an alarm record—how could there be this many pages?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He flipped rapidly to the next page.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time: 2014…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Caller: Mr. Li.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He continued flipping pages quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Caller: Ms. Qian, Mr. Liu, Mr. Chen, Ms. Zhou…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The alarm times were nearly identical, and the content was almost exactly the same—each one mentioned: riding an old lady across the road.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he flipped to the last page, Yu Dazhang’s eyes bulged wide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a surveillance screenshot of the intersection, clearly capturing a fat man riding an old lady as they crossed the street!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Honestly, he looked quite majestic~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We’re done now!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Evidence is conclusive!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Dazhang’s hand slipped, and the paper documents scattered across the floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I…” He only now realized how far he’d gone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything else could be forgiven, but the impact of this incident was too terrible!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luckily, I wasn’t in uniform—there’s still room to maneuver. After all, the situation was urgent, and I was just trying to solve the case.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Yu Dazhang didn’t know how to explain himself, a commotion erupted at the door of the Third Squad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Sen stormed in, furious, with several officers from the Second Squad trying to calm him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They appeared to be holding him back, but only spoke—no real physical intervention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No need to guess—this was the Second Squad coming to demand answers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Sen walked in and immediately saw Yu Dazhang standing right in the center of the room, looking utterly defeated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lü, he’s yours, right!” Zhang Sen pointed at Yu Dazhang, but his eyes were fixed on Lu Zhongxin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xiao Sen, why are you calling him Lü now? Don’t you usually call him Brother Lü?” Lu Zhongxin forced a change of subject:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We’ve got this relationship—calling him like that isn’t too distant?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Sen ignored Lu Zhongxin’s words and went straight to the point:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do you know what he did?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, Zhang Sen glanced at the scattered papers on the floor and spotted the surveillance screenshot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His face instantly turned ashen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xiao Sen, Xiao Sen, don’t get worked up.” Lu Zhongxin saw things turning bad and stepped forward to block Zhang Sen’s view:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Can you just do me, Old Lü, a favor?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He no longer dared call himself \"Brother Lü\"—Old Lü would suffice. Who else but him had to deal with such a disciple?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His grim, sorrowful expression now twisted into a forced smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was as humble as could be, nearly bending his waist to ninety degrees, clasping his fists toward the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Zhang Sen stood there with a cold, unyielding face, showing no sign of backing down:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re saying this is just going to be dropped?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This guy’s words could choke a man… Lu Zhongxin’s head ached.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew what Zhang Sen wanted: for Yu Dazhang to apologize and admit fault in front of everyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the problem was, Yu Dazhang, as a probationary officer, couldn’t bear the consequences.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he was sent back to his previous internship unit, this disciple would never get back into the Criminal Investigation Squad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally, Zhang Sen hadn’t taken this incident seriously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, he hadn’t been hurt—just startled. Besides, the kid was just trying to solve the case.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His methods were wrong, but understandable under the circumstances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, when Yu Dazhang and he had subdued the suspect, Lu Zhongxin and his team had just exited the park—they hadn’t seen the crossing scene. Zhang Sen didn’t bother explaining, thinking the matter could be let go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when he returned to the squad, his colleagues began whispering about it right in front of him, deliberately keeping their voices low enough that he couldn’t hear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What upset Zhang Sen most was that these colleagues, who usually got along well with him, whispered while glancing at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he looked over, they immediately turned their heads away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he was baffled, several colleagues couldn’t hold back their laughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Uncle can tolerate it, but Aunt cannot!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I, Zhang Sen, am upright, honorable, and above reproach—why are you gossiping behind my back?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he rose to confront them, his closest colleague stepped forward and held him back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sen, calm down.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he told Zhang Sen about the alarm reports.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he heard the incident had already been exposed, Zhang Sen wanted to scream at the callers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I didn’t ride you—why the hell did you call?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Please… collect… 6…9…books…!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Are you insane?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you saw it, just enjoy the show—why play the righteous hero?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now everyone knows!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Zhang Sen was thinking of going to the captain to suppress this, his colleague told him something else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Uh… your nickname…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Just say it!” Zhang Sen was irritated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No one will call you Little Cheetah anymore.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why?” Zhang Sen felt dread.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Because you’ve got a new nickname.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What is it?” Zhang Sen silently prayed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Rider Sen.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Sen: …\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He froze for half a minute, then exploded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Asshole!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had to snap—this was too much to bear. If he tolerated this, he couldn’t stay in the squad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Criminal Investigation Squad doesn’t raise cowards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who respects a man without guts?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s why Zhang Sen stormed into the Third Squad…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The standoff was now locked: Zhang Sen pressed forward relentlessly; Lu Zhongxin fiercely protected his disciple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neither side would yield an inch!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Members of the Third Squad, fearing escalation, stepped forward to mediate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We’re all colleagues—let bygones be bygones.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Sen: “Get lost!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He was just trying to help you—you shouldn’t yell just because you’re upset.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Sen: “You too, get lost!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The conversation was dead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as the situation threatened to escalate into a conflict between the Second and Third Squads, a man walked in from the door—it was Liu Zhe, captain of the Criminal Investigation Second Squad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Lu Zhongxin saw him, his heart instantly eased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We’re all foxes a thousand years old; we all know these tricks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First send subordinates to vent their anger, then step in to mediate only when things spiral out of control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This way, you save face without burning bridges with Team Three.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two birds with one stone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure enough, after Liu Zhe entered, he glared at Zhang Sen in front of everyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is no one able to control you? Solving personal grudges during work hours—even if you’re right, you still need to choose the right time and place!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Look, this is skill: pretending to scold a subordinate while directly defining the nature of the incident.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One: this is a personal grudge, unrelated to work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two: we’re in the right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Sen cooperated well, lowering his head, appearing contrite.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, I say we let this go,” Liu Zhe seized the opportunity to back down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I assume your people didn’t mean it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the other side offering a way out, Lu Zhongxin immediately gave Yu Dazhang a glance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He meant for him to explain, say a few soft words—he was certain his disciple would understand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Dazhang received his master’s signal; their eyes met as if sharing a telepathic bond, and both blinked simultaneously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Lu Zhongxin thought the matter was settled, Yu Dazhang stepped forward two paces, standing before all of Team Two, lifting his chin, nostrils flaring at them:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I, Yu, have never needed to explain myself to anyone!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Zhe: “.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Zhongxin’s vision darkened; a stabbing pain seized his chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I told you to bow your head—why are you doubling down like this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You really went full idiot, didn’t you?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1429,"2026-06-20T14:22:46.062Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","a4563fcc7e9b53c0d499a5be12d114ee921e57c127ac0030f8757550c6136002","reborn-in-2014-i-am-the-king-of-criminal-investi-chapter-5","reborn-in-2014-i-am-the-king-of-criminal-investi-chapter-3",763,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Freborn-in-2014-i-am-the-king-of-criminal-investi-cover.jpg"]
