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

Chapter 169 Joining the Municipal Bureau!

98 1 Month 8 Day.

An'nan City Public Security Bureau.

After getting out of the car, He Jinbo looked at the signboard wall on the right side of the city bureau's gate with excitement.

"Wow, it's the Municipal Public Security Bureau after all. How come the large characters in that line look so beautiful?"

The cat looked dejected: "Don't you come here often? It's not like you haven't seen it before."

"So your awareness needs improvement. Times have changed. This is our workplace now. Don't always have such a long face. Who are you trying to impress?"

Yang Jinwen, holding the cardboard box, laughed and said, "Our Captain He has just taken office, we have to be happy."

"Yes, that's right."

As soon as He Jinbo finished speaking, he saw Wen Mo leading a group of people downstairs.

He placed the cardboard box in his hand into the cat's arms and quickly stepped forward to meet it.

"Welcome, welcome Deputy Detachment Leader He."

"Thank you, Director Wen." He Jinbo said with a beaming smile, "From now on, I will cooperate with Director Wen's work. Please feel free to give me any instructions."

Right after New Year's Day, Wen Mo was promoted to deputy director in charge of criminal investigation, which was earlier than He Jinbo and others' appointments. This matter should have been decided before the arson and murder case.

The appointment of a high-ranking leader requires several months of observation and review.

Wen Mo smiled, nodded to Yang Jinwen, and then asked, "Where is Comrade Jiang Mao?"

"I'm here."

Cat was carrying two large cardboard boxes in his arms, which covered his head. He quickly showed his face and greeted, "Hello, Captain."

"Hello." Wen Mo nodded. "Let's go, I'll take you to the Major Crimes Unit's office."

As he walked, he introduced, "Our Major Crimes Unit is Team Two, Team One is the Security Department, Team Three is the Technical Action Team, Team Four is the Economic Crimes Unit, and Team Five is the Organized Crime Unit. You don't need to worry about these; they are handled by others."

The departments usually linked to the Major Crimes Unit are the forensic lab and the trace evidence investigation team. I'll show you around in a bit.

He Jinbo naturally knew all this, and he understood that this was being said to Yang Jinwen and Maozi.

“Our municipal branch generally does not handle cases; it mainly assists the criminal investigation teams in the three districts and six counties in handling cases, so the number of personnel is relatively small.”

"Your Major Crimes Unit, excluding Chief He, only has five people including the two of you."

The cat said, "So little?"

He Jinbo glared at him.

Wen Mo smiled and said, "Comrade Jiang Mao asked a good question. As I just said, our Major Crimes Unit does not directly handle criminal case investigations."

People from each branch bureau and county bureau have been on the front lines. Of course, now that you're here, you'll definitely be on the front lines too.

If we need manpower, we can ask the technical operations team; they have over twenty people. Besides, we can mobilize personnel from other branches.”

He Jinbo nodded: "Cat, the Municipal Bureau is different from our branch. We need to broaden our horizons. Our work is not limited to one jurisdiction. We need to look at the whole of An'nan City, understand?"

"Oh," the cat replied.

The Major Crimes Unit, the Trace Evidence Unit, and the Forensic Medicine Department share a three-story building, located to the right and behind the administration building. The courtyard is small, with a few willow trees whose leaves have all fallen.

Behind the willow tree is a wall more than three meters high. Below the wall is a patch of mud, covered with a layer of broken glass. Anyone who tries to climb over the wall will surely be in trouble.

Don't think that no one dares to steal from the Municipal Public Security Bureau; there are quite a few daring thieves.

The Major Crimes Unit is on the third floor, in five rooms, including He Jinbo's office.

The three members of the Major Crimes Unit were already standing on the stairs, welcoming He Jinbo and his group.

Two men and one woman, named Yao Weihua, Qi Bin, and 25-year-old Cai Ting.

Yao Weihua was older, in his forties, and short in stature. He had worked in the anti-pickpocketing squad and knew almost everything about An'nan City.

Like Maozi, Qi Bin graduated from police academy. He was about the same height as Yang Jinwen, 1.86 meters, but he was much stronger than Yang Jinwen.

He Jinbo smiled and shook hands with him. Seeing him like this, he couldn't help but think, "How much land can he cultivate?"

Cai Ting is tall and has short hair; she looks like she has martial arts skills.

Cat estimated that he probably couldn't beat her.

After all, who would dare to mess with a senior female officer who graduated from the police academy?
The three men were very polite to He Jinbo, but when they saw that Yang Jinwen was their deputy captain, each of them had a different expression.

Yao Weihua, keeping his true intentions hidden, smiled and said, "Our Captain Yang is young, more than a decade younger than me."

This sounds like someone trying to intimidate others by relying on their seniority.

Yang Jinwen simply smiled and said, "I will need Uncle Hua's guidance in the future."

"You're welcome."

Qi Bin's attitude towards Yang Jinwen became much warmer. How could the Municipal Public Security Bureau's Major Crimes Team not know about a case solved by the Chengbei Branch?

The Major Crimes Unit wanted to investigate the previous cases, but they had no opportunity to do so.

Yang Jinwen's name had already spread throughout the Municipal Public Security Bureau.

"Captain Yang, from now on I will learn from you. You tell me how to handle the case, and I will do it accordingly. I will definitely cooperate with you."

"You're too kind." Yang Jinwen repeated the same thing; he understood the principle of being flattered to death.

Cai Ting simply nodded to him, seemingly weighing whether she could defeat this deputy captain.

Yang Jinwen was not good at socializing, but he still had to follow He Jinbo around to various brigades and departments to get to know people.

When they arrived at the forensic lab, the door opened and Wen Ling's smiling face appeared: "Surprised? Unexpected?"

Yang Jinwen gave him an expression that said, "I knew it."

The cat, however, was overjoyed to see someone it recognized: "What are you doing here?"

"Why can't I be here? This is where I'm interning."

Cat was really excited and blurted out what Yang Jinwen had said: "You were transferred too? You kept this from me for so long!"

"Tch." Wen Ling ignored his feelings and looked at Yang Jinwen: "What? You're unhappy that I was transferred?"

"No, it's just that I feel this personnel reshuffle is a bit too big."

"Didn't my dad tell you?" "Tell me what?"

"The municipal bureau must also send personnel to investigate cases at the grassroots level, you know? Especially for homicide cases, the municipal bureau must send people to investigate or supervise the cases. In addition to doing our best to solve the cases, we must also try our best to prevent wrongful convictions."

Don't assume that you're all here as leaders; it's really no different from before.

Besides, there are so few forensic doctors these days. Even if our North City branch has no cases, I still have to travel all over the place. It doesn't matter where I work.”

"That's true."

"Alright, I'll take you to meet them." Wen Ling said with a smile.

"No, I have to stay with Captain He..."

"That's different. If I take you to recognize people, will it be the same?"

"Uh……"

Sure enough, when Wen Ling took Yang Jinwen on a tour of the branch office, the attitude of the people in each department immediately changed; they were incredibly friendly.

Who is Wen Ling? She's Director Wen's daughter!

Who is Yang Jinwen? He's Wen Ling's son!

The cat was filled with envy, following behind them like a tiny, invisible creature.

But only Yang Jinwen knew how much suffering he was in.

With her looks, Wen Ling has no shortage of suitors. In addition to extinguishing the infatuations of those suitors, she also has to extinguish the covetous eyes of those policewomen on Yang Jinwen.

Such a trend must be nipped in the bud!

At the branch office, I can outmaneuver Zou Jiahui. On my own turf, how could I not handle you young policewomen?

As expected of Wen Mo's daughter, she was born with a knack for scheming.

Throughout the day, Yang Jinwen and Maozi familiarized themselves with the surroundings, while He Jinbo, on the other hand, was very outgoing. He was already familiar with the Municipal Bureau, and he took turns going to various departments to offer cigarettes and chat.

As he was about to leave work that evening, he met up with Yang Jinwen and Maozi and said, "The forensic team is our own people, no doubt about it."

That captain of the action team named Su Qiang is a bit difficult to deal with. I heard he's always wanted the position of deputy branch captain, but I beat him to it. You guys better watch your distance with the people in the action team from now on.

The forensic team has no conflict of interest with us, so it's not a big deal.

"Xiao Yang, you know about forensic examination. Try to build a good relationship with them; it'll make things easier for us in the future."

"Captain He, I understand."

"Cat, the logistics department is counting on you."

"Master, am I running errands again?"

"What else can we do? Our Major Crimes Unit only has a few people, are we going to send those three to run the run?"

"Fine then." The cat looked miserable.

"Alright, I'm off work now. You guys stay in the company dormitory, so help each other out and don't cause any trouble. We're new here, so we need to learn to keep a low profile."

We'll have a meeting first thing tomorrow morning. The branch bureau and the county bureau usually don't send cases up the chain of command; we have to find cases ourselves.

I figured we needed to solve one or two cases first, to make a name for ourselves, otherwise people would think we got in through connections.

The cat thought to itself, "Aren't you the same?"
After get off work, Yang Jinwen and Maozi went back to the Chengbei Branch Bureau and moved their personal belongings to the Municipal Bureau's residential building.

The municipal bureau has several residential buildings behind the compound, and they even have a three-story building specifically for single people, with the third to fifth floors dedicated to them.

Yang Jinwen and Maozi were assigned to the same room. If they were married and had spouses, they could be allocated a separate apartment to live in for the time being.

When the cat entered the room and saw that it had its own bedroom, it was overjoyed.

"Yang Jinwen, there are two bedrooms here."

"Well, what happened?"

"If my sister is on vacation, she can come and stay."

Yang Jinwen was startled: "How are we supposed to live in two bedrooms?"

"We share one room, and my sister shares another."

"I disagree."

"why?"

"Isn't there a living room? When your sister comes over, you can sleep in the living room, right?"

"That's right, when my sister comes, I'll sleep right outside your room."

Who are you guarding against?

"I'm guarding my sister."

Yang Jinwen glanced at him sideways, and Maozi turned his face away timidly. He couldn't say that when he went to the South City Health School last time, his younger sister had mentioned Yang Jinwen several times, asking why he hadn't come.

"Don't overthink it. If your sister comes, I can go back to my own home."

"Really?"

“I have to go back whenever I have a holiday, I have to offer incense to my mother.”

Maozi was an empathetic person. He nodded and put away his smile: "Let's clean up. This room is very dirty. I'll go to the water room to get some water."

"There is running water in the house."

"so good?"

"After all, it's the Municipal Public Security Bureau, so the conditions are definitely better than those of the North City Branch Bureau."

"But then again, I still miss the days at the branch office."

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Yang Jinwen walked over, opened the door and saw that the people standing outside were Qi Bin and Cai Ting from their team.

"Captain Yang, let's go grab some barbecue." Qi Bin chuckled, revealing his pearly white teeth.
