Li Yu slept until he woke up naturally, and it felt great. The first thing he did after getting up was to check in. He was looking forward to today's reward. "System check-in."
[Congratulations, host, check-in successful. Reward: One job!]
Damn! Did I hear wrong? Job? System, you must be mistaken! Li Yu was completely dumbfounded.
[Host, there is no mistake!]
What kind of job is it? What exactly do I do?
[Host, you have drawn a job at the police station, becoming the chief of police! You can report for duty today! I have already arranged everything for you!]
System, you are my god! This job is perfect for me! Li Yu was so excited! Now I'll have money and power!
Li Yu immediately grabbed his things and went to the courtyard to wash up. After washing up, he left the courtyard and walked to the police station, stopping at a place along the way to have breakfast.
At the police station, as soon as Chief Niu returned, he called a meeting and told the officers, "A new chief is coming to our station today. 369 and 147, go tidy up the office next door for the new chief. Be alert and look sharp today. Give him a good impression. Alright, meeting adjourned!"
Chief Niu finished speaking and went back to his office.
After tidying up the office, 147 said to 369: "What's the background of this new chief? He's so powerful, even Chief Niu is so polite to him!"
147 replied, "I heard yesterday that he's the nephew of Chief Niu's boss's boss!"
Wow! You have such big news and didn't tell me, that's so unfair! 369 looked at 147 with a look of reproach.
I wanted to tell you, but I didn't have time! 147 said helplessly.
Li Yu finally arrived at the entrance of the police station. As he was about to enter, the officer at the gate asked, "Who are you? What are you here for?"
I'm here to start my job! Li Yu stopped and said.
After hearing this, the officer at the gate thought for a moment, then said, "Hello, please follow me!" and led Li Yu towards the chief's office.
In the office, Chief Niu was half-lying in his chair, leisurely smoking a cigar. Hearing the knock on the door, he straightened up and said, "Come in!"
The officer standing at the door pushed the door open and said, "Chief, this is the new recruit!"
Li Yu walked in and said, "Hello Chief Niu, I'm here to start my job!"
Chief Niu waved his hand to the officer.
Seeing this, the officer politely went out and closed the door.
After the officer went out, Chief Niu said to Li Yu, "You are Li Yu?"
Yes! Li Yu replied.
Alright! Your uncle arranged for you to come here. Now you are officially the chief! The office next door is yours, but you have to wait a while, it's still being tidied up. Sit down for now. Also, when you have time, give my regards to him. Chief Niu said in a flattering tone.
Li Yu heard this with a puzzled look on his face, "What? I have an uncle, system, come out!"
【Hello, host! Because of this chief, I created an identity for you as the nephew of Chief Niu's boss's boss, and your uncle has no children, only you, his nephew!】
Then system, doesn't that mean I'm safe here in West Gate? Li Yu suddenly felt refreshed.
【Host, you can understand it that way, but you still need to be careful and not show off too much, after all, this is a chaotic world!】
Got it, system! Then Li Yu sat across from Chief Niu and said, "Okay! I'll give him your regards when I go visit him!"
After telling Li Yu some things about internal management, Chief Niu took him to his office. "This is your office. I'm going to gather the officers and introduce you to them now!"
Chief Niu found an officer and said, "Go call all the officers to gather here."
The officer immediately went to do as he was told. After a while, most of the officers in the station had gathered, but Chief Niu noticed that 369 was missing and asked, "Where's 369? Where did he go?"
An officer replied, "369 is dealing with something at West Gate courtyard."
Then let's not wait for him. Let me introduce you to everyone, this is our new chief, Li Yu. Everyone, welcome him!
Hearing Chief Niu's words, the officers applauded. Then Chief Niu raised his hand to silence them, "From now on, Li Yu is the second in command here. If I'm not in the station, you all must listen to him!"
Another round of applause, Chief Niu raised his hand again to silence them, "Alright, everyone go back to your work!"
Turning to Li Yu, he said, "You can sit in your office for now, the uniform and badge will be delivered to your office soon."
Just then, an officer walked in, "Chief, Chief, here's the new uniform and badge just delivered!"
Seeing this, Li Yu took the uniform and badge from the officer.
Alright, Li Yu, you can go back to your place and rest for now. Come back tomorrow for your first official day!
Li Yu responded and went back to the courtyard, stopping to buy a roast goose to celebrate.
As soon as Li Yu got back to the courtyard, he saw a group of people gathered there.
As Li Yu got closer, he saw Auntie Lan saying that her silk shawl was missing, shouting for the thief.
Seeing this familiar scene, he knew what was going on. But he didn't want to reveal it directly.
Li Yu quietly walked towards A Xiang.
A Xiang suddenly felt something and turned around, seeing Li Yu, she said, "Yu Ge, you scared me! You sneaked up on me so quietly without saying anything!"
I won't do it next time! What's going on with A Xiang? Li Yu pretended not to know anything.
Then A Xiang told Li Yu the whole story. Li Yu pretended to understand.
Li Yu looked at the chaotic crowd and said, "Stop arguing! It's easy to catch the thief who stole the shawl. All of you stay here, and we'll search each of you."
Auntie Lan immediately agreed, "Yes, yes, search everyone. The shawl must still be on the thief!"
Seeing this, Ba Gu retorted, "Who are you? Why should we be searched?"
A Ba, since there is a thief, and the thief stole something, we have to catch him. I agree to be searched! Tai Zi Bing said.
369 immediately agreed, "Yes, search everyone! All stand in line! Let's start searching!"
369 saw that Li Yu was carrying a lot of things in his hands, so he pointed at him, "You go first. You're carrying so many things, you must be hiding it in there!"
Li Yu was speechless when he heard this. "Alright," he said, and handed the bag to 369.
After taking the bag, 369 reached in and pulled out a police cap. He was stunned for a moment, "You stole a police cap, you must have stolen the shawl too!"
369 continued to reach in and pulled out a police uniform. He suddenly saw a chief's badge showing. His hands started to tremble. He remembered what the chief had said that morning, "Can't be this coincidence? He wouldn't be the new chief, would he?"
369 tremblingly folded the uniform and put it back in the bag. He handed it back with both hands, "I'm sorry, chief, I didn't mean to!"
Everyone gasped when they heard that Li Yu was the chief!
Ba Gu trembled even more when she heard it!
Li Yu took the bag back and said, "Um, it's not good to investigate like this. Alright, Auntie Lan, what did the shawl look like when you lost it?"
Auntie Lan said that there was a dragon embroidered on the shawl.
369 immediately said, "That's the one you washed at the well this morning!"
Yes, that's it! Ba Gu sold it to us. Auntie Lan replied.
369 was anxious when he heard this. He had seen that shawl. Dr. Jin had said that it was a gold shawl with a golden dragon embroidered on it. It was Guangxu's royal property, very valuable!
369 walked up to Ba Gu and said, "You actually sold such a valuable shawl to them? It's Guangxu's royal property! So generous!"
Tai Zi Bing heard this and said, "A Ba, is that shawl ours? We must find out!"
Li Yu said, "We definitely need to investigate, but we should start with you. You are the most suspicious. You sold the shawl to Auntie Lan and the others, and you just fought with them in their room. I strongly suspect that you stole it while the chaos was happening!" Li Yu said this deliberately, wanting to see what Tai Zi Bing would do if he searched himself and found his own shawl.
"Okay, then I will clear my name." Tai Zi Bing said and began to search his pockets.
Li Yu saw this familiar scene and started to smile.
Tai Zi Bing felt something in his coat pocket and pulled out a shawl, "Here is a towel!"
Tai Zi Bing was stunned for a moment, then he immediately reacted and said, "Who put this in my pocket, trying to frame me!"
Auntie Lan saw it and immediately took it back.
Li Yu said, "Bing Ge, I know you're not the thief. And I also know who put the shawl in your pocket!"
Tai Zi Bing immediately said angrily, "Li Yu, you're right! Quickly tell me who the thief is! I'm going to beat him to a pulp!"
"It's Ba Gu!" Li Yu said with a smile, pointing at Ba Gu.
Everyone started to talk among themselves.
Ba Gu saw that her scheme had been exposed, and she went all out, "What do you mean by stealing? It's mine anyway!"
Auntie Lan said, "You sold it to me, how could it still be yours?"
Ba Gu said, "I'll just return the money to you!"
Then Ba Gu threw some money at Auntie Lan and started to grab the shawl! Auntie Lan, seeing this, refused to let go!
At this moment, Dr. Jin walked over, pressing down on both of their hands, "Stop, stop, stop. If this is a Guangxu royal property, it must be worth a fortune," he then looked at Ba Gu and said, "What evidence do you have to say this is a Guangxu royal shawl?"
369 immediately responded, "Just because you said there's a dragon on the left doesn't mean it is! This is it!"
"Let me see!" Dr. Jin took the shawl from their hands and looked at it.
At this time, 369 saw Dr. Jin spreading the shawl and pointed at the golden dragon, "Isn't it this?"
Dr. Jin shook his head and said, "369, you can't tell your left from your right! This is the right side! This is just an ordinary shawl!" and handed it to Auntie Lan.
Ba Gu became furious, "369, you tricked me!"
At this time, Fu Ge said, "You are both greedy and deserve what you get!"
"Alright! Since the truth is out, 369, take Ba Gu to the police station!" Li Yu said to 369 with a smile.
Ba Gu's legs suddenly went weak. She grabbed Li Yu with both hands, "Li Yu, please let me go! I beg you!"
Li Yu didn't really want to take Ba Gu to the police station. He just wanted to teach her a lesson. "You don't have to go to the police station. But you have to treat everyone to dinner to apologize!"
