Chapter 867: Chapter 278: I Didn’t Make a Profit, I Earned a Salary!_3

“Tian Liben, you are suspected of the crime of illegal business operations and are now being legally criminally summoned by the Bright District Public Security Sub-bureau. This is your summons certificate, please sign here.”

Hmm… Ah?

Tian Liben sat there in a daze, his pen still in hand, when he saw the summons certificate placed beside him.

“You, you guys this… Are you even coordinating?” Tian Liben regained his senses and said.

The police officer simply said, “Please sign the document.”

No need for handcuffs; the summons was truly straightforward.

...

The correctional officer who had just warned Tian Liben not to get involved in such matters also massaged his forehead, thinking that now, probably he’d never get involved again.

Clearly, the people from the sub-bureau were waiting outside; as soon as this side signed, the other would immediately come in.

Because only with the signature would the release be official.

In fact, the sub-bureau people were rather frustrated; ordinarily, if criminal facts were discovered during administrative detention, the detention could be ended, and some could directly be transferred to criminal detention.

After all, the Detention Center is just next to the detention facility; transferring means they could be sent over.

Unfortunately, this time Tian Liben’s detention was judicial detention, decided by the court, and it just so happened that he was staying at their facility.

So, the Public Security Authorities naturally couldn’t transfer directly; they had to wait for the judicial detention to end before summoning him.

Tian Liben had already become a bit rusty in the detention facility, and now he was even less understanding.

“The crime of illegal business operations, huh? How am I suddenly suspected of illegal business operations? How am I conducting illegal operations? Explain it to me clearly, I won’t sign if you don’t clarify things today!”

Normally, this wouldn’t require an explanation, but since they were in the detention facility, the police next to him spoke up, “You helped those absconding bosses to close their stores and profit from it, and…”

The police hadn’t finished speaking when Tian Liben interrupted.

“How did I profit? Do you have any evidence? Do you? The salary I received was from my boss, I have never taken a penny from those absconding bosses!” Tian Liben raised his voice.

“You want to summon me just based on this, you think I don’t understand the law?”

The room was deathly quiet; the detective who had just spoken looked at him and finally said, “You just said, you did not profit and that you collected your salary from your boss, right?”

After Tian Liben shouted, his mind cleared a little. He intuitively felt there was something wrong with what he had just said, but couldn’t figure out what it was.

So he fell silent, opting to remain silent, after all, he claimed to know nothing.

However, the detective next to him had already exited the room to make a call.

“Hello, Captain Wang, I have discovered new information here. Tian Liben says he hasn’t taken any money from those absconding bosses, yes, he claims he was being paid a salary.”

“So there is a boss paying him a salary for doing these things. Yes, we should report this case to the city bureau; there might be organized group crime involved…”

Group crime, one of the six major types of criminal cases, according to the “Provisions for the Procedure of Public Security Authorities in Handling Criminal Cases (for trial implementation)” Article 24, this can only fall under the jurisdiction of municipal Public Security Authorities within the district.

Likewise, crimes of an organized nature are a key focus of crackdowns by our Public Security Authorities…

The team captain on the other end of the phone was a bit confused and said, “Did he say that himself? You didn’t ask him?”

“Of course we didn’t ask, this was originally going to be questioned after returning, who knew he would say it himself…”

The detective smiled a bit on the phone; if this was really a criminal organization, the situation would be completely different.

Catching an individual involved in illegal business operations and bringing down a criminal organization were two totally different concepts.

“Alright, quickly bring the person here. I’ll report to the leadership on my end and see if we can find out where his salary-paying boss currently is, we can start the investigation in advance.”

“Understood, Captain.”

After hanging up the phone and returning to the room, the detective said, “Please sign now. Whether you sign or not won’t affect our summons of you. If you continue to not cooperate, we will have to arrest you for questioning!”

Tian Liben clenched his teeth but still signed; he knew a little about the law and understood that resisting was futile at this point.

Just then, another correctional police officer from the detention facility came in and said, “How are things here? Weren’t you releasing someone? His family and boss are outside, asking when he will be released… Why are you looking at me?”
