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

Chapter 157: No matter what happens, go to the Three Treasures Palace

"Haha, Brother Jiang, I haven't seen you for half a year. You are famous all over the world!"

Lao Zhao's voice is still as loud as ever.

Jiang Hanwen counted on his fingers and found that the two had not been in touch for nearly half a year since they parted in Chuncheng. As for the salary paid by the Chuncheng Police Station, it was very timely. Qingnian also specially mailed a large Pu'er gift package. Apart from anything else, the thought was well thought out.

"Director Zhao, you're so polite. You're in high spirits when things are going well. It looks like you're going to get a promotion."

"Oh my, ok, ok, stop it, let's stop bragging about business. I need a favor from you."

Old Zhao's politeness was ruined after just one sentence.

This guy is usually okay at pretending, but once he meets someone he knows, he can't hide his gangster spirit. After all, he is a front-line anti-drug hero, and no matter how tough his temper is, he still likes to be straightforward.

"Hahaha, brother, I'm telling you, I feel uncomfortable when you say polite words like that, let's just talk straight if we have something to say, brothers will never refuse to help if I can."

Jiang Hanwen laughed and gave Lao Zhao some reassurance. It was obvious that the other party wanted to ask for something and was afraid that he would not agree.

"Hey, I wanted to talk about this when you left last time, but I didn't have the nerve to say it."

Old Zhao sighed.

"I retired from the frontline and became a criminal police captain in a lower-level bureau. I encountered a case, but this case was taken by a brother of mine. One of the murderers was caught, but the other escaped. Because of this case, the entire team lost their jobs and lived in panic."

Old Zhao spoke very carefully and Jiang Hanwen listened very attentively.

While listening, I was thinking in my mind. In addition to thinking about the relevant plot of the case, I was also thinking that this case would be a good subject for a movie.

"Memories of Murder" has been selling well in the cold country in the past two or three weeks, but there is still no telling when it will be introduced to China.

Although it is very popular on the foreign Internet, there is really not much splash in domestic public opinion and not many people know about it.

Apart from some promotional videos and discussion posts made by some of their die-hard fans on TikTok, there has been no other movement.

Jiang Hanwen has no shortage of scripts on hand, but the problem is that these scripts are expensive and many details have not been polished yet.

The case that Lao Zhao mentioned is actually a very good choice for filming. The result of the film will not be bad. Moreover, if this case can be solved, it can help a lot of people, which can be regarded as doing good deeds.

"Brother Jiang, this is the details of the case. Don't worry, I know you have to come to film. As long as you come, I will give you the highest standard of treatment. As for support in all aspects, I will do it for you even if I have to sell my face!"

Even through the phone, Jiang Hanwen could hear the sound of Lao Zhao patting his chest.

"Haha, my dear Chief Zhao, you were in person last time you filmed the scene. This time, my requirements are not high. In addition to the three male actors I brought with me, you have to find the parties involved to play the other police officers. Can you do it?!"

Jiang Hanwen didn't bother to be polite with him. After all, when making a movie, one has to tell the truth. Especially for a case like this with a very tense plot, one has to find the parties involved to act in it, so as to ensure authenticity.

"What's the matter? Can't you take back the boast you just made?"

Jiang Hanwen smiled and teased, and seeing that Lao Zhao was speechless, he stopped pressing him.

In this matter, Jiang Hanwen still supports Lao Zhao. This case has little to do with him, but for the sake of his brother, he can swallow his pride and ask for help. It really shows his loyalty. Whether it is to make money from filming or to show loyalty to his friend, Jiang Hanwen wants to help.

"Okay, Director Zhao, I know the difficulty of this matter is not you, but the main person involved. And you must not have informed him before you came to me about this matter. So, you should talk to him first and see what he thinks. After all, he has been looking for so many years."

Jiang Hanwen also sighed in his heart. The policeman mentioned by Lao Zhao was famous all over the country. However, his life was really hard.
"Nothing can be hidden from your discerning eyes, Jiang Hanwen. This matter has weighed on my mind for several years. I really need your help this time."

Lao Zhao is very sincere.

"Don't give me that, but let me make it clear to you. I can't move here for a while. I have to wait at least until after the New Year and let my group fix it for another half a month. I haven't even lived in this new house yet."

"That's right, now that you've told me about this, I have a clear idea in my mind. There's no need to worry."

After they exchanged a few pleasantries, they hung up the phone. Jiang Hanwen stood up and looked at the terminal in the distance.

I looked down at Lao Ding’s missed call and hesitated whether to reply.

He always felt that there was something bad going on when Lao Ding called. This guy was always beating around the bush and could not be compared with Zhao Xilai, the anti-corruption director.

"Buzz buzz buzz~~~"

Sure enough, the phone rang again.

"Hey, Director Ding, Happy New Year! I didn't come back to visit the bureau at the end of the year. I feel really bad about that."

Jiang Hanwen's words were also sincere. As a native of Xiguan, he was paid by the Xiguan Police Department, and it was a high salary.

I fly back and forth all year round, so I really don't stay in my hometown for long.

"Ahahaha, Consultant Jiang, you are still being polite to me. Old Ding, I am telling you the truth. Just based on your current relationship with the department, as well as your fame and influence, it would not be a loss for the Xiguan Police Department to double your salary. Everyone knows that the famous police prophet and the detective who clears injustices are from Xiguan. You are the city's business card of Xiguan."

"Director Ding, that's enough. If I drink any more of the love potion, I'm going to pass out. Let's talk about what we have to say."

Jiang Hanwen knew Lao Ding's routine and would never visit him unless he had something important to do.

He started with a bunch of sweet talk, and it was obvious that it was no good.

"Advisor Jiang, since we are all family, I will not hide it from you. This year our bureau has received a publicity task, requiring us to shoot a promotional film by the end of the year. So, I immediately thought of you, an internationally renowned director."

Jiang Hanwen: “.”

Internationally renowned director, Lao Ding, how did you review it for me?
"Promotional film? What's the theme?"

Jiang Hanwen frowned, it was not uncommon for the police station to shoot promotional videos. This kind of task would be assigned at least two or three times a year, and there was no way to avoid it.

Recalling the first time Jiang Hanwen was invited to have tea by the Xiguan Police Station, Zhu Zhisong and Shao Xue were preparing to shoot a promotional video.

In the end, I stepped forward to help them shoot the film. At that time, the film became a small hit on the Internet, and netizens commented that the police station's promotional video had a movie feel.

The new year has not even ended yet and new tasks have been assigned.

"Isn't Xiguan a major import and export city? The cargo volume is huge every year, and the rate of detecting contraband is among the highest in the country."

When Lao Ding started talking about business, he immediately became serious, not at all like the experienced guy he was just now.

"It just so happened that at the beginning of the year, there was a firearms smuggling case in Citong City. It caused a lot of uproar and even affected us. So, the department took these two actual situations into consideration and asked the bureau to shoot a promotional video related to this case."

After listening to this, Jiang Hanwen raised his eyebrows.

"Director Ding."

"Is it really that simple?"

"Ahem, that's right, it's just this small, Consultant Jiang, you can catch it easily."

Lao Ding coughed from the other end of the phone.

Jiang Hanwen rubbed his hands.

Lao Ding kept calling me just for this matter? Could there be something fishy going on?
