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

Chapter 277 Promotion! (Seeking votes for next month)

"Director Wen has been promoted!"

Upon hearing this, everyone in the office perked up.

Yao Weihua preemptively asked, "The top leader? What about Director Yang?"

He Jinbo glanced at the door to see if anyone was eavesdropping.

Cat immediately said, "Master, this is not the North City Branch."

“That’s right.” He Jinbo nodded and whispered, “Still the second-in-command.”

Yao Weihua immediately understood: "Transfer elsewhere?"

"That's right, can you guess where it is?"

No one was going to guess; they all looked at Yang Jinwen.

"Don't look at me, I don't know about this either."

He Jinbo chuckled: "Captain Yang doesn't know, and I didn't hear it from Director Wen either. Quick, guess where Director Wen will be transferred to?"

Cai Ting frowned: "Could it be the provincial capital?"

He Jinbo slammed his hand on his desk: "That's right, Qincheng Public Security Bureau!"

"Wow!" Yao Weihua clapped his hands. "This is impressive. The provincial capital is not like our small place."

He Jinbo sighed, "That's right. Director Wen is still young. When he becomes the top leader and then enters the provincial government, he will really bring honor to our An'nan public security system."

Yang Jinwen asked, "And what about you?"

He Jinbo scratched his head: "I'm still the deputy branch captain."

"No transfer?"

“I was just transferred last year, how could I have had this opportunity?”

"Fan..."

He Jinbo immediately shook his head: "That won't work. Once you're in this position, no one's words carry any weight."

"How did Director Wen get promoted so quickly?"

He Jinbo shook his head: "Who knows? He's your father-in-law, why would you need to ask me?"

Yang Jinwen nodded, no longer concerned about the matter.

Around noon, he pushed open the door to the forensic room. As usual, Zhang Lei was sitting behind the long table, engrossed in reading books related to forensic medicine.

"Hey, Captain Yang, you're back from Danan County?"

"You haven't finished reading this book yet?"

Wen Ling came out from behind the shelf and laughed, "You're not very bright. It's like you didn't read it at all. You can't remember any of the knowledge points."

Zhang Lei sighed: "If I were that smart, I wouldn't be a forensic assistant."

Yang Jinwen comforted him, saying, "It won't interfere with receiving your retirement pension later."

"Right?" Zhang Lei chuckled. "That's what I think too."

Wen Ling looked at him and said, "You're so pathetic."

Zhang Lei slammed the book shut and declared righteously, "As long as I don't want to improve myself, even Director Yang isn't as awesome as me!"

Yang Jinwen gave a thumbs up, expressing his deep admiration.

Wen Ling ignored Zhang Lei and looked at Yang Jinwen: "I heard you solved a serial murder case in Dannan County these past few days?"

Yang Jinwen nodded: "We just caught the perpetrator."

"Didn't offend anyone locally?"

“Uh…” Yang Jinwen frowned: “How did you know?”

“A guy surnamed Ji even came to our municipal bureau, saying he’s going to report you to higher authorities.”

"Ji Donghai?"

"Yes, he said you got his son put in detention and framed him."

"ignore him."

Wen Ling sighed: "Be careful."

"I know." Yang Jinwen smiled. "Let's go eat in the cafeteria."

Wen Ling took off her white coat and glanced at Zhang Lei: "Are you going or not?"

Zhang Lei shook his head: "No, the food in the cafeteria is not good. I'll just eat whatever's available."

As soon as they left the forensic lab, Wen Ling whispered to Yang Jinwen, "Director Wen has been promoted."

"Captain He has already told me that he will be transferred to Qincheng."

"Aren't you surprised?"

Should I be surprised?

Wen Ling stopped in her tracks: "Do you know who arranged this?"

"Who?"

"Zhang Chunxia".

Yang Jinwen squinted: "What is she trying to do?"

"What do you think?" Wen Ling shrugged. "After get off work tonight, come to my house and have a chat with Director Wen."

"alright."

After lunch, Yang Jinwen returned to his office and worked for a while when Zhou Changyuan called.

Zhou Changyuan meant that there was a murder case at the end of last year that needed Yang Jinwen's help to solve, and he hoped that Yang Jinwen would rest for a few days and then go to Dannan County as soon as possible.

Zhou Changyuan did not specify what the case was, nor did he reveal any clues. Logically speaking, Yang Jinwen was a criminal police officer in the municipal bureau, so there was no need for him to be on guard.

This is somewhat unusual. The sensitivity of the case is self-evident, and it probably involves some things that shouldn't be said.

Yang Jinwen couldn't agree immediately, so he asked Zhou Changyuan to negotiate with the Municipal Bureau first. Once the higher-ups agreed, he would go and help.

When she finished get off work in the evening, Wenling changed her clothes and went upstairs.

Upon entering the office, Yang Jinwen noticed that she gave Cai Ting a look, and the latter smiled and shrugged.

Yang Jinwen squinted, thinking to himself that his private life had probably been under Wen Ling's control during his stay in Danan County these past few days.

Cai Ting, you traitor!

But then, Wen Ling smiled and nodded at Maozi: "Brother Mao, you've gotten fatter."

Cat smiled and gave Wen Ling a meaningful look.

Cat, you traitor!

Next, Wen Ling greeted Yao Weihua and Qi Bin one by one. Both of them were very polite and gave Wen Ling a knowing look.

Yang Jinwen was very observant; upon looking at everyone in the office, it seemed that Wen Ling had won them over.

A room full of traitors!
absolute!
Yang Jinwen only now realized that he was surrounded by danger.

That evening, Wen Mo didn't get off work at the Municipal Bureau until very late.

With Yang Jinwen's help, Luo Chun had already prepared a table full of dishes.

The family of three, along with their son-in-law, sat around the table and began to eat dinner.

Wen Mo placed a newly opened bottle of Wuliangye liquor in front of him and poured a cup for Yang Jinwen.

"Jinwen, you know about what happened, right?"

"Captain He told me."

Wen Mo frowned: "I thought Wen Ling'er told you. How did he know?"

Yang Jinwen shook his head: "I don't know."

Wen Mo paused for a moment while pouring the wine, then nodded: "I understand."

Yang Jinwen understood that He Jinbo must have been warned and given some information that Wen Mo was to be transferred.

Besides Yang Guochang, there was no one else.

With Wen Mo gone, those who remained naturally had to change their stance, and He Jinbo was no exception.

From this little thing alone, Wen Mo could guess the general idea, which shows he's quite shrewd.

Moreover, the fact that He Jinbo brought this up in front of Yang Jinwen suggests that he was intentionally trying to convey some information to Wen Mo.

"No, what do you understand?" Luo Chun asked from the side, looking completely bewildered.

Wen Mo said, "Work-related matters are none of your business."

"It has nothing to do with me? When have you ever separated work and family matters? It's you system cadres who don't separate public and private matters! Wen Ling'er, tell me, am I right?"

Wen Ling picked up her wine glass, drank half of it, and nodded: "You're right! Oh, this Wuliangye is mellow and rich, it tastes great."

Wen Mo smiled and said, "That's right, I've been reluctant to drink it."

Yang Jinwen raised his glass: "Director Wen, Auntie, I'd like to toast you both."

Wen Mo nodded, tilted his head back, and drank the wine.

Luo Chun took a sip, put down his glass, and said, "Let's not talk about respect, we're all family."

Director Wen picked up his chopsticks, ate some food, and said, "Secretary Zhang is playing a long game."

Yang Jinwen asked, "Does she have that much influence in the province?"

"What do you think?" Wen Mo asked in return.

"How do I know?"

Wen Mo dipped his chopsticks into the wine glass and wrote his surname on the dining table.

"Dong?"

Yang Jinwen understood just from this one word.

Dong Qixian, Secretary of the Provincial Political and Legal Affairs Commission.

"He was Secretary Zhang's teacher."

Damn! That was the only word Yang Jinwen could use to describe his feelings at that moment.

Wen Ling said, "Dad, aren't you happy about my promotion?"

Wen Mo sighed: "What do you know? It depends on who promoted you. Sometimes, it's not a good thing for someone to promote you."

Wen Ling understood this principle, after all, she was the child of a cadre and had grown up in a government compound.

When she was little, she dared to mess with anyone, but she didn't dare to mess with the peers in the building behind her house.

However, the people of the same age in the building behind it either live in the provincial capital, go abroad, or become ordinary citizens.

Wen Ling had met a once-impressive senior who had attempted suicide several times due to family misfortunes. After being rescued, he was sent to a mental hospital.

Yang Jinwen took a sip of his drink and said, "Should I call my dad?"

He understood that Wen Mo had called him here for this very reason.

If Yang Dachuan agrees to Zhang Chunxia's request, then Wen Mo's transfer will not only be risk-free, but will also be a great help to him.

Zhang Chunxia went to great lengths, using a series of elaborate schemes to lure Yang Dachuan into giving up.
Luo Chun understood the implication and let out a sigh of relief: "In the end, isn't Zhang Chunxia just trying to get Jinwen's father to marry her?"

Wen Mo glared at her: "Can this be brought up?"

"What's so hard to say! Our current situation is that your future, Jinwen's, and Wen Ling'er's future are all in Zhang Chunxia's hands. Don't you think she's powerful?"

Wen Mo gave a wry smile: "Jinwen, your dad is really something else."

What could Yang Jinwen say? He could only get up, walk to the landline, and dial Yang Dachuan's number.

After the call connected, Yang Jinwen heard a lot of noise on the other end: the sound of drinking, loud dance music, women laughing and cursing, and the sound of bottles clinking.

Yang Jinwen's heart tightened, and he asked, "Yang Dachuan, where are you?"

"Huh? Jinwen? What's up?"

"Hello? Is this the Shenzhen Public Security Bureau? I'm reporting someone involved in prostitution!"

"Hey, hey, what are you doing? Your dad's with a client, what's going on here!"

"Let's find a quiet place and talk."

"Okay, I'll go to the hallway outside."

A few minutes later, it became much quieter on the other end of the phone.

Yang Dachuan's drunken voice came through: "Son, what's up?"

Yang Jinwen sighed and told him what had happened.

“Hey… since it concerns your future, what can I, as your father, say? Here’s what I’ll do: I’ll call Chunxia now…”

Yang Jinwen glanced at the other end of the dining table, covered the phone receiver, and said in a low voice, "Dad, give me the truth. If you don't want to live with her, there's no need to force it."

Remember this: I don't want you to be unhappy, Mom... Mom in heaven would also want you to be happy. She must think so, so you... don't think about us, think about yourself more..."

After Yang Jinwen finished speaking, there was no sound from the other end.

After a long while, a sobbing sound came from the telephone receiver.

"I know, Dad knows, Dad just can't forget your mother... can't forget her..."

Yang Jinwen was taken aback, his feelings extremely complicated: "Alright, Dad, I'm hanging up now. Give me a call once you've made up your mind."

After the call ended, Yang Dachuan, thousands of miles away, heard the beeping sound from his mobile phone. He immediately stopped acting, nervously wiped the sweat from his brow, and muttered, "That was close."
