You're supposed to be a security officer, what case are you solving?

Why is Chapter 119 on a Tuesday? (Seeking monthly votes)

Early the next morning.

Zheng Kang had just entered the office when Yang Jinwen followed him in.

"No, why are you looking for me so early in the morning? What kind of trouble are you up to now?"

As Zheng Kang asked, he opened the window to let in the morning air.

"Master, I've found a clue!"

Yang Jinwen closed the door for him, staring intently at him.

Seeing his solemn expression, Zheng Kang immediately sensed something was wrong.

In the previous cases, this apprentice wasn't this serious, and he said that if he found a clue, he might be able to solve the case.

He hadn't even put down his thermos when he hurriedly asked, "What clue? You haven't already identified the perpetrator, have you?"

"No, not at all." Yang Jinwen pulled up a chair, sat down at his desk, and said seriously, "Listen to me..."

After half an hour.

Lu Shaohua had just arrived at work and hadn't even sat down in his office chair when Zheng Kang and Yang Jinwen walked in.

Looking at the master and apprentice, Lu Shaohua's pupils contracted.

He said directly, "Get to the point. Don't scare me so early in the morning."

Another hour.

In Wen Mo's office at the Municipal Public Security Bureau, he looked at the three people from the North City Branch. At this moment, it was just like yesterday.

Just as Lu Shaohua was about to speak, Wen Mo immediately reached out to interrupt him: "Stop, come with me to the office next door."

Right now, Yang Guochang is singing a little tune behind his office, in a very pleasant mood.

His office door was open, and the room had been filled with heat all night. He needed to air it out in the morning so that his subordinates could easily come and find him.

Suddenly, he saw the four people from yesterday appear outside the door.

Then, four more people appeared behind these four people.

The four people who came later were Wu Lijun, the director of the Chengnan branch, and Yan Bin, the newly appointed captain of the criminal investigation team. Standing behind them were Jiang Bala and Fu Yun.

The eight people from the north and south of the city looked at each other and then stared intently into the office.

Yang Guochang felt a chill run down his spine; it was the first time he had ever encountered these two branch offices meeting up uninvited in his office.
ten minutes later.

In the conference room of the Municipal Bureau.

As soon as Yang Guochang sat down, Wu Lijun from the Chengnan Branch began to speak at length.

Jiang Bala and Yang Jinwen exchanged a glance and nodded to each other.

After listening, Yang Guochang and Wen Mo understood that the missing girls from Chengnan Health School were indeed highly suspicious.

Wen Mo pondered, "Are you sure all these girls went missing on Tuesday?"

Jiang Bala and Fu Yun immediately took out their personal calendars and the dates when the Chengnan Health School Police Station registered the missing girl.

Jiang Bala said, "We have already checked it in detail, and this clue was discovered by Comrade Yang Jinwen."

Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes turned to him.

Jiang Bala meant well and didn't want to take credit.

Yang Jinwen noticed that these people were staring at him, and why did it feel so cold on his back?

He nodded: "That's true. Starting in 92, there may have been similar incidents before, but female students from Chengnan Health School have been going missing one after another on Tuesdays."

We currently only have information on seven people, but we cannot rule out the possibility that there are other missing women.

That's putting it bluntly, meaning we have to investigate.

However, everyone is also aware that this clue alone is not evidence and does not meet the criteria for filing a case.

Yang Jinwen, Jiang Bala, and Fu Yun's meaning was very clear: they wanted people.

With so many people missing and such a large-scale investigation, it's impossible for just a few people to handle it.

Yang Guochang glanced at the two groups of people sitting on either side of the conference table. It was clear that the leaders of both the North and South branches of the city supported the investigation.

Otherwise, Lu Shaohua and Wu Lijun wouldn't have brought people with them.

Yang Guochang pondered for a long time, then slammed his hand on the table.

"Investigate! You must investigate! Since this is under the jurisdiction of the Chengnan Branch, it should be handled by the Chengnan Branch. Director Wu, do you have any questions?"

Wu Lijun shook his head: "Director Yang, I agree with you. I advocate conducting a private investigation first. Once we find solid evidence that meets the criteria for filing a case, then we can carry out a large-scale investigation."

"Alright, the Municipal Bureau supports you."

"In addition, we have a request."

"You said."

Wu Lijun looked at Yang Jinwen sitting opposite him and asked, "Could we borrow Comrade Yang Jinwen? After all, he was the one who analyzed the clues for this case. With his participation, I believe the case will be solved soon."

Lu Shaohua was lost in thought, figuring that since it wasn't his territory, it was best not to interfere.

Upon hearing this, he immediately opened his eyes. "No, Lao Wu, you think you can just lend someone like that? I have a ton of work at the bureau, I'm swamped every day. What am I supposed to do if you borrow someone from me?"

Wu Lijun raised his hand and smiled, "Director Lu, I won't lend it to you for nothing."

He winked, indicating that they would discuss it privately later.

Lu Shaohua understood and remained silent.

Seeing that neither side had any objections, Yang Guochang patted the table again.

"Alright, it's settled then. Captain Wen, you and Director Wu go to the office in Chengnan District and talk to the district leaders so they know what's going on. I'll go to the city to make the arrangements."

With the matter settled, everyone stood up and prepared to leave.

Yang Guochang glared at Yang Jinwen, as if to say, "I told you to go find Secretary Zhang, but you've passed the buck back to me."

As soon as Lu Shaohua returned to the North City Branch, Yang Jinwen and Maozi were summoned to his office.

"Starting today, you two will be temporarily transferred to the Chengnan Branch for a period of one month to help them solve the missing persons case."

The cat blinked, not understanding why it had also been temporarily transferred.

He was conflicted. If he left, who would run errands for the criminal investigation team? Who would change the toilet paper when it ran out? Who would fill up the gas tanks for those cars?
Yang Jinwen nodded: "Director Lu, we will definitely complete the mission."

Lu Shaohua sighed: "I originally told you not to be too sharp, to stay in our bureau and do your job well, and not to overthink things all day."

But we have to think about the bigger picture. Those missing girls still haven't been found. We need to find them, alive or dead...

"Uh, let's not talk about that. You two go pack your things, we're heading to the south of the city now."

"Yes." Yang Jinwen and Maozi saluted him.

The two went downstairs, packed their things in the office, and carried their bags. When they arrived at the courtyard, Zheng Kang was already waiting for them in the bicycle shed.

He glared at Yang Jinwen fiercely, but his gaze softened immediately.

He handed over his car keys: "Take that Santana and don't let those guys in the south of the city laugh at us."

Yang Jinwen smiled and said, "Master, you don't blame me?"

Zheng Kang curled his lip: "What can I blame you for? Ma Weiwei went missing, and her mother, Zhao Caiying, couldn't take the blow and even risked her life. That family is left with only Ma Shutang. Who can bear that?"

Yang Jinwen's eyes widened: "No, Master, how do you know about Ma Shutang? We didn't mention his name at the meeting today."

Zheng Kang rolled his eyes at him and let out a soft sigh.

"Do you really think we don't care? Yesterday, when we came out of Director Yang's office, Director Yang and Captain Wen immediately went to find out what was going on. With the clue you found today, Director Yang can make a decision right away?"

Yesterday, when I returned to my unit, Director Lu asked me and Lao Xu to go and check out the Chengnan Health School. We spent the whole day there.

The situation is indeed as you say. There are serious issues with the disappearance of these girls. What kind of police are we if we don't find them?
However, what we didn't expect was that you actually connected these missing persons cases. These girls all disappeared on Tuesday, which is indeed very suspicious.

"Alright, you can go now. As long as we find the evidence, the Municipal Bureau and our Chengnan Branch will both investigate together. This case is counting on you!"

"Thank you, Master." Yang Jinwen took the keys and nodded.

After half an hour.

Yang Jinwen parked his car in the courtyard of the Chengnan Branch Bureau; this was the first time he had ever been here in his life.

The cat sat in the passenger seat, looking very reserved. Animals are naturally wary of strangers when they leave their familiar territory.

Yang Jinwen got out of the car and walked to the criminal investigation team's office with the cat.

Among the three districts and six counties of An'nan City, the Chengnan Branch is the most capable in solving cases, consistently outperforming the Chengbei Branch. The Chengnan Branch's Criminal Investigation Brigade is also the city bureau's biggest asset.

If it weren't for Yang Jinwen's appearance, the former captain Liao Guohua would already be the deputy head of the municipal bureau. But things are unpredictable, and now the person in charge has changed.

Once the investigation was launched, the Chengnan Branch's machine immediately sprang into action.

Yang Jinwen and Maozi went to the office but didn't see any of the old men. They asked a female police officer in charge of logistics and found out that everyone was in the conference room on the second floor.

The two people ran up to the second floor and knocked on the conference room door.

Jiang Bala opened the door: "We've been waiting for the two of you, come in quickly."

When Yang Jinwen and Maozi went inside, they found that the conference table was full of people, almost everyone had a cigarette in their hand, and the swirling smoke looked like they were cultivating immortality.

Yang Jinwen and Maozi sat at the end of the conference table. They had no seats at the North Branch Bureau, but they received different treatment in the South Branch Bureau.

Including the gazes of everyone present, there were nearly thirty people in the conference room, some even standing on either side of the conference table, their eyes revealing suspicion, incomprehension, and a hint of jealousy as they looked at the two of them.

Normally, Cat is an invisible person, appearing somewhat timid, but at this moment, he straightened his back, held his head high, and looked at Cat with disdain.

He knew that he represented the entire North Branch Bureau, and he represented his mentor, He Jinbo. He had to encourage himself and make sure he didn't bring shame to the branch bureau.

Yang Jinwen didn't have many thoughts running through his mind. When he saw Wu Lijun looking at him, he nodded slightly, and the latter returned a friendly smile.

He often saw this kind of smile on He Jinbo.

Immediately afterwards, an investigation meeting began, with the newly appointed captain Yan Bin analyzing the case.

Time passed slowly. Yang Jinwen looked at the typist typing in front of the computer and an idea suddenly popped into his head.

The thought made him tremble so much that his heart pounded.

Why are all the female students from Chengnan Health School going missing on Tuesdays?
