Chapter 90 Dismissal
On the other side, at the Jiangquan City Public Security Bureau.
Wang Wenqi sat in front of the conference room, his sharp gaze falling on Li Rongjun opposite him.
As a member of the Special Task Force, although he appeared to be a police officer, he actually had another identity – an investigator from the Ministry of State Security.
Under normal circumstances, dealing with a grassroots police officer like Li Rongjun would not require Wang Wenqi to personally intervene.
However, this time, the situation was quite special.
Wang Wenqi had already investigated some unexpected things.
“Officer Li Rongjun, I’d like to ask, do you have any leads on the three bullets that went missing from the police station?”
Hearing Wang Wenqi’s question, a drop of cold sweat trickled down Li Rongjun’s forehead.
He had thought he could conceal the matter seamlessly, but now it seemed… he had been exposed.
In China, gun management is extremely strict, and even police officers must strictly adhere to rules and regulations.
But people can always be careless, and Li Rongjun, relying on this and some minor tricks, obtained the three bullets.
Unexpectedly, Wang Wenqi had so quickly confirmed that he had taken the three bullets.
Although Wang Wenqi did not explicitly state it, Li Rongjun knew that he could not escape today.
So, he did not argue, took a deep breath, and frankly admitted his actions.
“Yes, I did take those three bullets.”
“Oh?” Wang Wenqi lightly tapped his index finger on the table and said, “You should know the consequences of using firearms and ammunition without authorization.”
“I know, and I am willing to accept any disciplinary action from the organization.”
Li Rongjun knew very well what his outcome would be.
However, at that time, knowing that he might encounter ghosts, if he didn’t bring a gun and rashly went, it would not only be irresponsible for his own life but also for Li Suqin’s life.
It was just a pity that the gun was ultimately of no use…
But there is no regret medicine in the world, and Li Rongjun knew this very well.
“The law clearly stipulates that even if missing bullets do not cause serious consequences, police officers may still receive administrative punishments, including but not limited to warnings, demerits, major demerits, demotions, dismissals, expulsions, etc.”
“I understand.”
There were only Wang Wenqi and Li Rongjun in the room, and Wang Wenqi looked at Li Rongjun’s resigned expression. He did not continue to question his guilt, but turned and asked.
“Based on your usual performance, you don’t seem like someone who would use a gun privately. Tell me, where did you use those three bullets?”
In response, Li Rongjun truthfully recounted the experience he had that night, in detail.
It took Li Rongjun a full twenty minutes to finish telling everything that happened that night.
“…Officer Wang Wenqi, you may not believe it, but that’s how it happened. Two of those three bullets hit the ghost, and one bullet hit the ceiling. Li Suqin was unaware that I had a gun.”
He said this because if Li Suqin had known, she would also have been charged with harboring.
Li Rongjun did not want his actions to implicate Li Suqin.
After listening, Wang Wenqi fell into deep thought again. He turned and pulled the curtains behind him, and after repeatedly confirming that the door was locked from the inside.
This investigator then sat back in his seat and said with an extremely solemn expression.
“Are you sure you saw a rusted iron door that was blood-red?”
“Yes…” Even now, when Li Rongjun recalled the events of that time, a hint of fear could not help but appear on his face. “After I went to that place, I kept dreaming of that red iron door, but later, for some reason, the door disappeared from my mind, and I never encountered it again.”
Wang Wenqi’s face turned even more pale and stiff after hearing this.
“The red civilian house in Shui Ku Village?”
“Yes.”
Seeing Li Rongjun’s affirmative answer, Wang Wenqi immediately stood up and said.
“Remember! You lost three bullets during the mission, not used them privately. Hurry up and write the loss report, then go and accept the dismissal, and finally, keep this matter to yourself and don’t tell anyone.”
Li Rongjun was stunned by this disciplinary action.
Even if Wang Wenqi considered their colleagues, he should have been imprisoned.
But he never expected… that it would only be dismissal…
Wang Wenqi left the interrogation room, and Li Rongjun slumped back onto the stool.
After recovering, he reluctantly took off his police badge and insignia.
From now on, he was just an ordinary member of the public.

“Eagle! We have a job!”
Wang Wenqi walked into the Special Task Force, cursing.
“Xu Wanlin, prepare a car for us! We need to go to Shui Ku Village.”
Seeing Wang Wenqi in such a hurry, Eagle couldn’t help but ask.
“What happened?”
“Damn it, the seal on the red door is having problems!”
Wang Wenqi’s mood was extremely bad at the moment. He had to thank Li Rongjun here. If it weren’t for him, he probably wouldn’t have known how long he would have been kept in the dark.
And once this red door caused a major supernatural event, he would be finished too.
That thing was no joke.
The ghost fire disaster at Longshan Vocational High School was already quite severe, wasn’t it?
But the disaster level of the red door was even higher than that!
If this matter wasn’t sorted out, he probably wouldn’t be able to sleep well in the future.
Xu Wanlin, the logistics officer of the Special Task Force, ran over and said.
“Team leader, the car is ready.”
“Eagle, let’s go!”
Wang Wenqi didn’t want to waste any more time here.
“Notify Feiying Sunying on the way. Time waits for no one, move quickly.”
“Yes!”
The two got into the police car, and with the roar of the engine, the police car, flashing red and blue lights, sped towards the end of the night.
With this mad dash, in just over half an hour, the police car stopped in front of that red civilian house.
Wang Wenqi had been to this place before, but it was during the day, so although there was resentment from the dead, he did not find any trace of a fierce ghost, and thought the murderous fierce ghost had long escaped.
Later, they did catch a fierce ghost lingering by the roadside, looking a bit disheveled for some reason.
As a result, after hearing Li Rongjun’s words, he realized that he must have caught the wrong ghost at that time.
Wang Wenqi got out of the car and found that although the house was still gloomy, the resentment had completely dissipated.
“How could this be?”
The disappearance of the resentment meant that someone had already quelled the supernatural event here before him.
But who was this person?
Wang Wenqi and Eagle walked into the civilian house and after looking around, Eagle suddenly discovered something.
He picked up a piece of darkened broken jade from the ground and said.
“Team leader, look at this.”
