I started out as a criminal, and the police relied on me to solve countless cases.

Chapter 144 Peace Talisman

There is a delicious fish called pufferfish. When it is in danger, it will press water or air into bags inside its body, causing its body to swell several times in order to scare its enemies and stop predators from attacking.

Jiang Hanwen is very familiar with this operation.

The murderous aura that he has accumulated from years of immersion in acting is his self-protection.

Moreover, this thing is very useful for intimidation and ordering people to leave.

Making oneself dangerous is important for a person who is in constant contact with crime.

But Jiang Hanwen never worries about those vicious criminals. No matter how crazy and cruel they are, Jiang Hanwen is confident that he can suppress them firmly.

What really makes Jiang Hanwen wary are people like Lao Zhu, Kuang Zhili, and Lao He.

They are often gentle and polite, and always smile when doing things, but once they really start to attack, they will never give their opponents any chance to breathe.

Moreover, being in the government, one is walking on thin ice. If it is not necessary, Jiang Hanwen really does not want to deal with them.

Jiang Hanwen has a very clear self-awareness. He is just an actor who makes a living by his acting skills and a director who makes movies, that's all.

"Old Zhu, I have already promised Xiao Liu that I will take care of this case and I will definitely not refuse. You don't have to worry."

Jiang Hanwen was also very anxious after hearing the latest news from Lao Zhu.

The murderer committed a crime again, with an interval of only three days. During the New Year period, many people return to their hometowns, and there is no guarantee that another tragedy will happen.

"Hanwen, this is not your character. Why did you agree to help so readily this time?"

Old Zhu on the other end of the phone was very surprised.

He had originally gathered up a lot of magic potion and planned to feed it to Jiang Hanwen.

Now, it's like I'm punching cotton, with nowhere to put the force and I'm a little uncomfortable.

Although Lao Zhu appears to be swift and decisive with a strong temper, he has been working in this circle for decades, and his methods, character and vision have already reached the master level.

He naturally knew what Jiang Hanwen was worried about. He was promoted out of turn with the help of his master.

The master had long since retired to the second line and apparently had no influence at all. For this kind of retired big boss.

It is human nature to stay away. After all, if you really do something wrong and offend someone, not only will no one help you cover up, it will also be very easy for you to be dragged out to take the blame.

In history, there are many people who have been jailed for failing to handle cases properly.

Humph, this little rascal, at such a young age, he doesn't learn anything else, but he is quite good at learning how to protect himself.

"Leader, look at what you are saying. I, Jiang Hanwen, am a favored person with the most specially-appointed consultants in the country and a good young man of the new era. It is my duty to eliminate harm for the people and punish evildoers. Besides, Jinling is my second hometown. Now there is a serial killer committing crimes near Jinling. As a half-Jinling person, I will not agree to this!"

Jiang Hanwen patted his chest and spoke with great righteousness, which frightened Old Zhu.

This is what we really think.

Jiang Hanwen didn't blush or feel nervous.

This case is not like the Harbin case which involves many people and is so deep that it is hard to tell.

The Harbin case is more about investigating the murderer than searching for the murderer. It is not only about brains, but more about hard power.

If it weren’t for the final suspense, the Imperial Sword would have been used.

Given the financial power behind the murderer, solving the case is extremely difficult.

Although this murder case was of a heinous nature and involved many victims, there was no shady dealings involved. Jiang Hanwen had no psychological burden in simply investigating the case and arresting the murderer.

"Hanwen, I'm not calling you to urge you. Xiao Liu called you without my consent." Lao Zhu first distanced himself from the matter.

But this was not a lie, he really had no intention of asking Jiang Hanwen for help this time.

Firstly, Jiang Hanwen has made too much noise in Han Country, so it’s better for him to be quiet now, otherwise it will be too conspicuous.

The second reason is my own selfishness. After getting along for so long, I really regard him as a junior. The Spring Festival is approaching, and this kid has been busy for a whole year. It is indeed time for him to take a break. What's more, there is the relationship with the master's distant niece.

We have to let the young couple have a good time together.

"Well, the murderer has committed another crime, breaking into a house and killing two elderly people. The situation is indeed urgent. In addition, the news that you want to join the task force has been spread at the meeting. As a leader, I am in a difficult situation and have no choice but to lower my face and beg you."

There was obvious fatigue in Lao Zhu's voice.

He was already 61 years old, and working in a government office like the Xuan Office, where he had to work overtime intensively, was really a waste of his time.

Moreover, this case is indeed difficult to investigate. The murderer specifically looks for remote and sparsely populated villages. Not only is there no surveillance, there is no hair or body fluid left at the scene. It is obvious that he has taken extremely sophisticated anti-detection measures.

This kind of difficulty in solving a case would make anyone scratch their head.

"Old Zhu, this case has been going on for sixteen years, and it will be seventeen years this year. Seventeen years, 67 lives lost, plus one unconscious, and two elderly people who just got involved in the case. Ha, now that it's time to do it, do you think I can really just ignore it?"

"Human life is at stake. This is not an old case. If the murderer stays out for one more day, one more life may be lost."

Jiang Hanwen's words were so heartfelt that Lao Zhu's eyes became red.

"Old Zhu, I really underestimated you before. Just based on what you said, there is no young talent in the capital who can compare to you, Jiang Hanwen."

Old Zhu is very generous with his flattery.

Jiang Hanwen laughed.

"Boss, please stop trying to fool me. I was born to be a hard worker."

After Jiang Hanwen finished speaking, he lowered his head and took a look at the message that Mr. Xiao Lin had just sent.

Photos of the private rooms in Wanxianglou.

Half of the dishes on the table have been placed, and it is obvious that they are about to start serving.

Here are a few voice recordings.

Jiang Hanwen clicked on the play button and heard Mr. Kobayashi's sweet voice coming from the phone.

President Xiao Lin: "Brother Hanwen, I have arranged all the work of the company until after the New Year. Let's leave for Harbin the day after tomorrow. Hehe, there will be a surprise (#^.^#)."

Mr. Xiao Lin: "Brother Hanwen, during the seven-day holiday, I will accompany you home to meet the two elders first, and then we will also go on a special forces tour to the places where you have filmed movies and investigated cases, Harbin, Hong Kong, and Hanguo. I have seen it on YouTube and Instagram. Brother Hanwen is almost a top star in Hanguo. One of his movies has made it into the historical ranking of moviegoers. It's amazing ()!"

Jiang Hanwen had a mixed feeling on his face. He took a deep breath, called a car and drove straight to Wanxianglou.

The vacation was ruined though.

But we still have to eat this meal, otherwise I would be so sorry to the girl.

In the taxi, Jiang Hanwen held his mobile phone and sent a message to Editor-in-Chief Xiao Lin.

It is sent regularly.

"Mr. Xiaolin, I can't accompany you during the New Year holiday. It must be very troublesome for a slow-witted and straight guy like me. But this time when I go to Han Country, I will take the time to go to Lingguang Temple to get a peace amulet for you. I will hang it in the living room at home. Remember to pick it up. When I pass by Jiming Temple this time, I will definitely get another amulet for you. Our temple is definitely more effective than the Korean one."

"Also, since I really can't think of any auspicious words, I'll just wish you a happy Lantern Festival half a month in advance, with good health, long-lasting blessings, more than enough luck, and a hundred blessings from heaven."
