Chapter 74 Experts
Shan Yaowen didn't take it seriously at first, after all, he was used to hiding, and he wasn't a real policeman, he was just there to help.
He only came to his senses after everyone's eyes were focused on him.
He truly never expected that such a plot, which only happened in novels, would actually happen to him.
"Director Su, is this the kind of extraordinary person you were talking about? I think they're just like the Manchu bannermen of the late Qing Dynasty, with no skills other than playing with birds."
The speaker was a middle-aged man wearing a Zhongshan suit and black-rimmed glasses. He was dressed quite respectably, but his voice was as foul as if he had eaten feces.
Shan Yaowen remembered that he did not know this person.
He seems to be an intellectual, a cultured person, so why does he speak with such an arrogant attitude?
"Expert Liu, your words are hurtful. You're an expert from the league who came down to our banner to guide our work. You should be the most capable, right? But judging from your words, does that mean your title of expert was just something you built up by wearing a respectable Zhongshan suit and having a neat hairstyle?"
Old Wolf didn't give the expert any face and directly retorted.
At the same time, Officer Lin quietly introduced the expert's background to Shan Yaowen.
The alliance specially filmed the expert who guided the arrest, but no one liked him. He was quite capable, but he acted more arrogantly than the bureau chief.
In other words, his ability to put on airs seemed even stronger than his crime-solving skills.
Judging from his appearance, he must have gone on a trip but failed to catch anyone and came back to rest. This is his second trip.
Upon hearing Old Wolf's words, Expert Liu's face darkened. "What nonsense are you spouting! I have a proper academic background and have handled more cases than you have met. Who are you, a country bumpkin, to tell me what to do? And him, a herdsman, why should he worry about you? Mind your own business."
Shan Yaowen frowned: He had already tolerated it once, and the other party was still pushing their luck?
He sneered and stopped Old Wolf, who had already rolled up his sleeves and was ready to punch him: "Just because you have formal training, you think you're superior? Where do you put the people at the bottom? I am indeed a herdsman, but I am willing to contribute to the important matters of our banner. As for you, I don't even know you, yet you come up to me and start cursing. Are you denying the people?"
Shan Yaowen is bad at talking and can't argue, but he knows how to wear a hat.
"You..." Expert Liu was choked speechless, his face turning as red as a frozen radish, the notebook in his hand almost twisted into a pretzel, and in the end he could only point angrily at Shan Yaowen:
"I think you're just being stubborn; you have no real skills whatsoever, only good for empty talk!"
"Me, just being quick-witted?" Shan Yaowen took half a step forward, staring intently at him:
"You're an expert, you should be setting a good example by carefully considering your assigned tasks. But when we met, I didn't even recognize you, and you immediately started mocking me and putting on airs of an expert. Is this what you call competence?"
"Furthermore, if you really came here to do something worthwhile, why did you return empty-handed? You come back and immediately take your anger out on me. If you were so capable, why didn't you catch the person sooner? That way, I wouldn't have to come here and get in your way."
As soon as these words were spoken, the surrounding police officers all lowered their heads and pretended to be busy. No one interrupted, and all that could be heard was the howling of the cold wind.
Then a large Jiefang truck, its wheels crunching through the snow, pulled up in front of everyone.
"The second batch is boarding, hurry up!"
Upon hearing the driver's voice, Shan Yaowen ignored the expert and got into the car with Lao Lang and the others.
The expert, Liu, stood motionless, his face alternating between red and white, as if a dye vat had been opened.
Seeing Shan Yaowen get on the bus, he opened his mouth, but in the end, he didn't utter another sarcastic word. He could only glare fiercely at Lao Lang and Shan Yaowen who got on the bus, then suddenly pulled his military overcoat over his body and turned his back, his face long and drawn.
"What's wrong with that guy?" After getting in the car, Shan Yaowen protected the silly bird with both hands and gestured towards the direction of Expert Liu below.
Old Wolf curled his lip. "That guy and I have a grudge. He's probably here to cause trouble for me this time. You're just an excuse to cause trouble, and I've dragged you into this."
After saying this, Lao Lang was still a little embarrassed, after all, Shan Yaowen had indeed suffered an undeserved misfortune in this matter.
"It's alright, Chief. That guy's just all talk and no action. Don't worry about him. He can't cause any trouble."
Seeing that even Officer Lin looked down on that expert Liu, Shan Yaowen had a pretty good idea of what was going on.
"Actually, he was the one who tried every means to get down here. He thought this would be an easy job to earn merit, but when he went to the front line for the first time this morning, not only did he fail to find the person, but he also accidentally stepped into a villager's trap and was hung upside down from a tree for a while. That's when he started to speak ill of this young comrade."
A police officer who knew the inside story explained, "Old Wolf, your conflict with him is nothing. Not to mention our banner, there are many people in the league who don't like him. There are plenty of people who have conflicts with him."
"Tch, an expert with that kind of tolerance?"
Shan Yaowen actually still trusted the experts at this time.
The experts of this time were not like the experts of today who talk nonsense. The experts of this time had real skills, otherwise they would never have been able to sit in the position of experts.
However, after Liu's outburst, his idealized view of experts in this era has been shattered.
After a bumpy ride of more than an hour, the Great Liberation truck finally arrived at its destination.
Old Wolf, carrying a map and equipment, headed towards their mission location.
"Judging from the current situation, the bandits are trapped in the mountains. All that's left is to surround the breach and find them."
"But time waits for no one. Everyone outside is watching. Every minute that drags on, another group of people will imitate the crime. The chief's idea is that we must take action before the end of the year, and if there are no results within five days before the end of the year, he will request the garrison to coordinate."
Gee...
In this situation, Shan Yaowen was worried for those people. If the garrison were to be coordinated with, they wouldn't even have a chance to surrender.
But the immediate task is to find those people.
Moreover, he must contribute his efforts so that he will have more confidence when Old Wolf helps rescue people.
"Wen, what are you thinking about?" Old Wolf said to his subordinates when he saw Shan Yaowen staring blankly.
"Oh, it's okay. Do you have a map?"
Shan Yaowen was just recalling his memories of his past life, but unfortunately, too many years had passed and he couldn't remember many things.
He only remembered one key phrase: Japanese military engineering.
This is what the locals often refer to as the "hidden soldier cave."
"Here you go, our patrol area is in this area."
Looking at the area that Old Wolf had drawn on the map, Shan Yaowen scratched his head.
Being unfamiliar with the area, he had no idea where there were any hidden military tunnels nearby, and having never served in the military, he couldn't possibly figure out where the Japanese would build their base.
"Gah~"
Just as Shan Yaowen was about to tentatively ask Lao Lang, the silly bird flying in the sky suddenly cried out.
Seeing the silly bird's expression, Shan Yaowen had an idea. "Let's go take a look."
