The Front Door (Full Text) 4. The Origin (4)

  Compared to others, the situation is most unfavorable for Deputy Director Peng Yuanda, who is known as the "Big Boss" of the bureau. At this critical moment, he is not in the city.

  Half a month ago, he took Li Zhi and Huang Xiaolong, two top detectives from the criminal police team, on a long-distance trip to Fujian Province to investigate a major case that had been pending for over 20 years. Later, they went deep into the mountains of southern Fujian to pursue key suspects, where even mobile phone signals were unavailable. As a result, Peng Yuanda still doesn't know about the director's death.

  Old Niu, an old-timer in charge of internal affairs at the criminal police team, shook his head and sighed: "Alas, Director Peng, it's all my fault! I've called you for decades, but it seems that your luck has run out. What bad timing to go on a business trip! It looks like the director position is not meant for you this time."

  Many people in the bureau share Old Niu's view, and it's likely that Director Peng won't make it this time. This can't be blamed on anyone else; he can only blame his own bad luck for going on a business trip at this time.
