In the small courtyard, the atmosphere was tense.
Two groups of people looked at each other angrily. They were night patrol officers from the Suzaku Department and the Xuanwu Department.
Yu Shengtian is the supervisor of the Xuanwu Department of Yuncheng Night Patrol Department.
In terms of seniority and seniority, he is higher than Leng Xinnan.
It has been sixteen years since he joined the Night Patrol Department. He is considered an old man and his ability to handle affairs is outstanding.
Before Leng Xinnan joined the Night Patrol Department, the Xuanwu Department he led had the best performance except the Qinglong Department, and was highly regarded by his superiors. But ever since the workaholic Leng Xinnan arrived, she has gradually "fell out of favor".
Therefore, in the Night Patrol Department, at least on the surface, he was the most hostile to Leng Xinnan.
The Xuanwu Department and the Zhuque Department often had conflicts over the affairs of state.
So this scene is very common.
"Master Yu, you are very energetic this early in the morning." Leng Xinnan walked in with a cold tone.
The originally noisy courtyard suddenly became quiet after Leng Xinnan appeared.
Those members of the Xuanwu Department did not dare to make any noise.
Yu Shengtian sneered: "It's good that the real master is here. I thought Master Leng was hiding inside and didn't dare to come out, so he sent some of his younger brothers to send us away."
Leng Xinnan ignored him and asked Meng Xiaotu and the others, "What's going on?"
"Sister Leng." Meng Xiaotu stepped forward with a look of grievance on her cute little face, "They insist on saying that we are responsible for the theft of red rain from the secret warehouse two days ago. Isn't this bullying?"
The secret vault was stolen.
Leng Xinnan's heart moved.
She heard this news when she came here yesterday.
Two days ago, a theft occurred in Yuncheng's Night Patrol Secretariat, and a box of pure "Red Rain" that was handed over not long ago was lost.
After last year's large-scale theft, after discussion above, the security guards of "Red Rain" were placed, with personnel from the three departments of the Suzaku Department, Xuanwu Department and White Tiger Department on duty.
The staff on duty will carefully count the number of "red rain" every day and review each other.
The last people to conduct the audit and inventory two days ago were the personnel of the Suzaku Department.
"Sir Yu, I just came back from an investigation in Dongqi County, and I still don't know the inside story of this theft."
Leng Xinnan said calmly, "But the General Secretary said that people from the Qinglong Department will be responsible for this theft. I don't understand what you mean by the Xuanwu Department overstepping its authority to investigate?"
"First, I did not check. Second, it was you people from the Suzaku Department who first slandered us, saying that our Xuanwu Department personnel deliberately missed a list when counting."
Yu Shengtian's eyes were gloomy, "Now that the people from the Qinglong Department are investigating our internal affairs, won't Master Leng give us an explanation?"
Leng Xinnan frowned slightly, pursed her red lips, and said coldly:
"I don't know if it's a slander, but if you people in the Xuanwu Department have no evil intentions, are you still afraid of his investigation? What's the truth? I believe the Qinglong Department will investigate clearly. It's useless for Mr. Yu to come and call me."
"Okay, since Master Leng has this attitude, don't blame us for not obeying the rules. The worst we can do is bite each other."
Yu Shengtian laughed and said sadly, "My Xuanwu Department is not clean, so are your Suzaku Department clean?"
After saying that, Yu Shengtian turned around and left with the people.
The small courtyard also returned to silence.
Leng Xinnan signaled the irrelevant personnel to disperse and asked Tieniu, "Who were the personnel who participated in guarding the secret warehouse two days ago?"
"It's Lao Jiang and Dazhu." Tieniu said, waving his fan.
"Old Jiang?"
Leng Xinnan was startled, "Didn't you give him a holiday?"
Tieniu was helpless: "Sister Leng, you also know that that guy can't stay idle, and he has gone through that kind of thing again. Wouldn't it be more torture to stay at home? It's better to keep yourself busy."
Leng Xinnan sighed with an indescribable look on her face, "Call them two over."
"good."
Tieniu nodded and left quickly.
Leng Xinnan took Li Nanke into the inner hall and introduced several people he had not seen yet.
Most of my colleagues are "secretaries".
The investigation of the Night Patrol Department is still relatively complicated.
After each investigation, there is not only a summary meeting, but also the recorded information will be reorganized, analyzed, and reported.
The characteristics of monsters, gravemen, and incubus are classified for easy summary.
Each person's performance capabilities are also updated in real time.
"Any case received by the Night Patrol Department will be studied by the above and distributed to various departments. If you encounter cases involving "Red Rain" outside, you can handle them yourself, but you must report them in time. "
Leng Xinnan came to his independent office cubicle and tried his best to familiarize Li Nanke with the process. "If it involves the "Red Rain" case here in Yuncheng, it must be reported first to prevent collision with other departments. "
"clear."
Li Nanke listened carefully.
Leng Xinnan's office room is very simple, with only two pots of plants. There is an old locust tree outside the window, and the documents on the table are quite messy.
There are no decorations, including calligraphy and paintings, etc. that decorate the daughter’s home.
It fits my personality very well.
"The man just now is called Yu Shengtian. He is the supervisor of the Xuanwu Department. He is a very capable person."
Leng Xinnan asked Caiyun to bring a pot of tea, poured it for Li Nanke, and said softly, "When I was young, I made a name for myself in the Night Patrol Department of Yuncheng, and later I gradually took the position of supervisor.
There is also a background behind this person. Not only him, but also the supervisor of the White Tiger Department, Li Donghai, and the people of the Qinglong Department, all have people who support him more or less. This small night patrol department is in deep trouble. "
Li Nanke smiled and said: "After all, it is a court department, and bureaucracy is indispensable."
Leng Xinnan also laughed and said, "You and I are not worried. As an official, I am more tactful than anyone else. I am just worried that it will cause you some trouble because of me, so I will try to remind you."
"I know Sister Leng cares about me very much." Li Nanke said sincerely.
Leng Xinnan opened the window to let in the fresh air and sunlight. When she heard Li Nanke's words, a blush appeared on her ivory-white skin, and she subconsciously touched the hosta on her chest.
His expression blurred for a few moments, and the smile on his lips became more beautiful, "I'm not worried about you, I'm just..."
The woman didn't know what to say and was stuck for a moment.
Just then Caiyue came in to ease the embarrassment, "Sister Leng, Master Li is here."
When Leng Xinnan heard this, a hint of disgust flashed across her cheeks.
It was obvious that she didn't have much fondness for Mr. Li, but she still nodded and said, "Let him in.".
After that, he explained to Li Nanke: "This is the Li Donghai I told you just now. The supervisor of the White Tiger Department is actually very average in ability, but his ability to please people is not small, and he has a backing."
Li Nanke silently remembered these people in his heart.
After a moment, a middle-aged man with a relatively generous figure and a blue shirt walked in. He had a smile on his richer face and looked very kind. A pair of small eyes, but gleaming.
"Master Leng, I heard that you came back from Dongqi County. Lao Li, I didn't even bother to have breakfast, so I came over quickly."
Li Donghai held a gift in his hand and put it on the table, apologizing, "I was also incompetent before and made such a mess. In the end, I had to let Lord Leng clean it up. I really feel too sorry for it.
And I also heard that Master Leng captured three monsters and two grave men in Dongqi County, and also helped a little girl get rid of the dream demon.
Look, how powerful is this ability? Otherwise, Mr. Leng is the pillar of our Night Patrol Department.
If it were Lao Li and me, I wouldn't have achieved this performance for half a year. "
These may sound like jealous and mocking words, but when they come out of Li Donghai's mouth, they seem very sincere.
Even those eyes were full of sincere admiration.
Leng Xinnan said in a cold tone: "They are all from the same department. Mr. Li, there is no need to be polite. Please take this gift back."
"No, this is not an expensive gift, it's just some fruit."
Li Donghai's face
The smile did not diminish, he rubbed it and said,
"Master Leng was able to successfully hunt and kill the escaped monster this time, which is a great help to Lao Li. If there are any consequences, the higher-ups will definitely find me in trouble."
Li Nanke on the side finally understood.
Combined with what Little Rabbit once said, it means that the previous mission of hunting monsters in Cloud City was originally given to the Suzaku Department. But Li Donghai didn't know what kind of background he found and snatched the task away.
As a result, the monster ran away, and in the end, Suzaku was forced to step in.
This Li Donghai is quite thick-skinned.
Li Nanke felt contempt in his heart.
But at this moment, his eyes inadvertently glanced at the other person's wrist, and his eyes suddenly condensed.
I saw a black birthmark on Li Donghai's wrist!
Li Nanke was very familiar with this birthmark, because from the memory fragments of the monster Meng Qing, he saw a mysterious man making a "red rain" deal with Meng Qing.
An oval-shaped birthmark was revealed on the wrist of the mysterious man.
Exactly the same as the person in front of me!
Looking at Li Donghai, who looked like an honest man with a silly face in front of him, Li Nanke felt a chill on his spine, and the room seemed to be filled with cold air.
I didn't expect to discover such a secret on my first day of employment.
Sure enough, the water in this night patrol department is very deep.
The dignified supervisor of the White Tiger Department secretly sells "Red Rain". This is really...unbelievable.
Li Nanke didn't know what to say for a moment.
Of course, it is also possible that the two of them have the same birthmark by coincidence.
But are there many such coincidences?
"What's wrong?"
After Li Donghai left, Leng Xinnan looked at Li Nanke who had been in a daze and asked doubtfully.
Li Nanke came back to his senses and forced a smile: "It's nothing."
But after hesitating for a while, he finally asked out of curiosity: "Sister Leng, what kind of person is this Li Donghai? Does he usually do a lot of things?
Do you think this person might be corrupt or something like that? After all, people are too smooth and annoying to look at. And I heard something about Hongyu being stolen just now. Could it be his fault? "
Li Nanke did not say that he had seen Meng Qing's memory.
Leng Xinnan smiled: "I didn't expect you to judge people by their appearance. There must be corruption and so on. Not many people in the night patrol department are really clean. As for this Li Donghai, apart from being a flatterer, he really doesn't have many crimes. .
But you said he was related to the stolen eucalyptus. I think it is unlikely.
After all, he is also a supervisor of the Night Patrol Department. If the superiors did not trust him, they would not give him such important power. "
Li Nanke smiled and didn't ask any more questions.
