As Jin Shizhen's voice fell, the atmosphere in the main hall became a little quiet. Chen Yi took a sip of tea and put the cup down gently, then looked at the woman in front of him.

During their career, police officers will often receive gratitude from the families of victims. This is a different kind of honor and motivation for work.

Chen Yi did not say what his responsibilities were.

"I didn't expect such a coincidence." He said.

Jin Shizhen smiled: "It's a coincidence, and it's also the fate between Captain Chen and I. If you don't mind, we can become friends."

Chen Yi: "I like to make friends."

With this relationship, everyone knew that the following conversation would be pleasant, and Ge Quanshan felt relieved and sipped the tea happily.

Jin Shizhen chatted: "Why did Captain Chen come to Jiangcheng suddenly?"

Chen Yi: "Investigation by the provincial department."

Jin Shizhen: "Oh, that's it. I haven't congratulated Captain Chen on his promotion."

Chen Yi smiled and said: "It's just a temporary job."

Jin Shizhen: "I'm sorry, Captain Chen. It's a matter of time."

Although the temporary position was temporary, she knew that Chen Yi would definitely be retained and promoted after the expiration of the term, unless he made a serious mistake.

The provincial government will certainly not set any obstacles to the reuse of young and capable people.

What's more... she didn't believe that someone could be promoted so quickly without a background.

As we chatted, the topic quickly turned to Jiangcheng Antique Market.

Jin Shizhen is engaged in antiques, and Chen Yi is a policeman, so of course their intersection is antique crime.

There is no pot that Chen Yi does not open and mention. The man in front of him has a criminal record and was imprisoned for reselling cultural relics. If possible, he should avoid it as much as possible.

"Just now, Ms. Jin mentioned my experience in Taihang Building. To be honest, it was a bit eye-opening. Taihang Building is very big, Jiangcheng antique market is even bigger, and there are many people who secretly suffered losses and were deceived." Chen Yi said.

Jin Shizhen nodded slightly: "The industry is like this. It is difficult to change the foundation. If the foundation falls, the building will also collapse. It depends on who has stronger vision and more thoughtfulness, buyer or seller."

Chen Yi: "It's nothing more than eyesight. The routine is too much. Industry rules are not a protective shell for illegal crimes."

It is indeed too easy to take advantage of loopholes in the antiques business. Many disputes say that a crime is not a crime, and it is not true to say that it is legal. The police also have a headache.

Jin Shizhen could guess the purpose of Chen Yi's visit in advance and basically confirmed it at this moment: "Captain Chen came to Jiangcheng for investigation. It seems that he has read the fraud case files in recent years, most of which involve the antique business, right?"

Chen Yi: "Yes, this matter has nothing to do with the industry. The essence is illegal and criminal behavior committed by criminals for profit. Antiques are just a platform. Even if there is no such platform, they will choose other methods."

Jin Shizhen pondered for a while and then said: "I have already said that as long as Captain Chen has any request, he will comply with it. Jiangcheng Art Investment Club is willing to cooperate with the police to crack down on routine fraud in the industry."

Chen Yi was personally curious: "What does this club do?"

Jin Shizhen turned to look at Ge Quanshan.

Ge Quanshan had already regarded himself as an observer and only listened without interrupting. At this moment, he was a little stunned when he looked at Jin Shizhen. What do you mean? Want me to avoid it?

After all, I am also the deputy bureau in charge of criminal investigation of the Jiangcheng City Bureau. I am the same as Chen Yi in terms of rank. Can I give you some face?

Chen Yi understood what Jin Shizhen meant, and he wanted to change the topic while hesitating. However, although Ge Quanshan complained in his heart, he moved quickly and stood up immediately.

"This yard is nice. Well... Xiaoxia, come with me to go out for a walk. When you save enough money later, you can rent a house no matter what."

The last sentence made Xia Lan, who had just stood up, almost lose her balance.

Good guy, I thought you were going to buy one, but I didn’t expect you to rent one.

That's right, buying a courtyard in the center of a tourist city may cost tens of millions, which is not something a salaried worker can afford.

The two left the main hall one after another. Chen Yi showed a helpless smile: "Ms. Jin, if it's inconvenient, we can actually talk about something else. I understand."

Jin Shizhen poured tea for Chen Yi, and her voice sounded: "Art Investment Club... Captain Chen can be understood as the bank supervisor. Each antique market, including the antique street, is a large and small bank. The difference is that we have a greater say. The methods used against violators are also simpler and more brutal.”

Chen Yi: "Can I smoke?"

Hearing this, Jin Shizhen bent down and took out an ashtray from nowhere and placed it in front of Chen Yi: "Please do as you like."

"Thank you." Chen Yi took out his cigarette case and lit a cigarette. "Thank you, Ms. Jin, for your trust. Doesn't it sound official?"

Jin Shizhen: "No, the club has existed for decades. It was not called a club before. Since the antique market was regulated, we have withdrawn from the stage."

"Although he has withdrawn, his status is still there. Captain Chen should understand that wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes. It is impossible for the country to have comprehensive jurisdiction. Every antique street and every antique market in Jiangcheng is a river and lake. Where there are rivers and lakes, there will be disputes. , when there are disputes, there are those who stand at the top.”

Chen Yi nodded: "Understood, it means that people at the top have a high right to speak and can speak better than the official, otherwise the market will easily go into chaos."

Jin Shizhen: "Yes, without these people, Jiangcheng's police response rate would be several times higher, so it is beneficial."

Chen Yi looked at the other person: "There is another one at the top, is it you?"

Jin Shizhen smiled: "Captain Chen, don't get me wrong. There is no such thing as forming a gang now. Everyone is just giving me face."

Chen Yidian has not asked in depth so far.

Give face?

not that simple.

If you don't have strong strength, why should others give you face? For these people, offending Jin Shizhen may be much more serious than offending the police.

There is no absolute fairness, and there is no absolute rule of law. The costume dramas on TV exist in the court and the world, and the reality is the same to a certain extent.

And... Jin Shizhen must have official connections.

No matter which industry you are in, when you reach a certain height, you will have two choices. The first is to retreat, and the second is to find ways to make friends with powerful people.

When you only focus on making money and think that money is everything, the reality will make your face red and swollen.

It is impossible for Jin Shizhen to maintain her current status only with money and private connections. She will teach you how to be a good person in minutes.

"By the way, Captain Chen, there's something I want to ask." Jin Shizhen's voice changed.

Chen Yi: "What's the matter?"

Jin Shizhen: "Who were the people who hijacked a tourist boat last time?"

Chen Yi: "Abroad, Ms. Jin doesn't have to think too much. There are no survivors on the island except the hostages. In that case... there are no survivors. They are all desperadoes."

There was a hint of coldness in Jin Shizhen's voice: "You are so courageous. Are you taking such a big risk just for thirty people?"

The other party knew everything, and Chen Yi also knew etiquette and said: "There must be something involved behind the scenes. This is beyond your control. As long as people are safe."

Jin Shizhen nodded, and she just asked casually. After all, her niece almost didn't come back.

Next, the topic returned to the antique business.

"What do you think, Ms. Jin?" Chen Yida said.

Jin Shizhen: “It’s best if it doesn’t affect the entire industry.”

Chen Yi nodded: "I think so too. Antiques are Jiangcheng's pillar industry. We should be more cautious when handling them. It's best... to go through them internally first."

Jin Shizhen smiled: "It's easy to handle. To be honest, I'm annoyed by the chaos in the industry. Now that Captain Chen has given me an excuse, let's re-establish the rules, but..."

She also has difficulties.

Chen Yi said: "My name is available, just report it and call me at any time."

Jin Shizhen: "That's no problem."

There is no need to speak too clearly when talking between smart people.

It’s a short chapter, sorry.
