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

Chapter 330 What is Despair!
The next day.

Inside the office of the Major Crimes Unit of the An'nan Municipal Public Security Bureau.

He Jinbo held a cigarette in his left hand, rested his right arm on the desk, and looked at the people sitting opposite him.

"Qi Bin, you really don't want to go to the provincial capital?"

Qi Bin raised his head, first looked at Yang Jinwen standing to the side, then turned his face and replied, "I want to stay and work in our municipal bureau."

"Give me a reason?"

“My home is in Annam, and I don’t want to live too far away.”

"Nonsense, tell the truth."

Qi Bin glanced at Yang Jinwen again, then lowered his head and said, "I'm not capable enough."

He Jinbo sighed: "Don't feel pressured. It's not like you're going alone this time. Captain Yang will take you. Besides, our old leader is at the Qincheng Public Security Bureau. What are you afraid of?"

Qi Bin simply turned around and looked at Yang Jinwen squarely: "Captain Yang, can I not go?"

"Alright." He Jinbo leaned back in his chair. "So you're the one who cares about the captain's feelings."

"No, Captain He..." Qi Bin quickly changed the subject, "I want to keep learning from you."

"You're talking nonsense."

"Really?" Qi Bin said, his face showing difficulty.

He Jinbo pointed at Maozi with the hand holding the cigarette: "Look at this guy, he doesn't even have this awareness. As soon as he heard he was going to be temporarily transferred to the provincial capital, he was overjoyed."

The cat, who had been all smiles, quickly coughed twice and said, "Master, if you need me, I'll stay and take care of you in your old age, and run errands for you..."

"Get lost, I don't need you! Our police force mentors and guides each other, like a golden eagle raising its young. You need to learn to fly on your own, the higher the better. Don't follow the old golden eagle forever, go find your own sky!"

The cat's eyes widened: "Master, have you studied something? That's such a brilliant way to put it!"

“Sigh…” He Jinbo sighed again: “What do you think? When there are no cases, the organization makes us learn computers and English. There are a lot of foreign tourists these days. If we have to handle a case involving foreigners, we won’t know how to deal with them if we don’t know a few words of English!”

After saying that, He Jinbo asked again, "Captain Yang, what's your opinion on Qi Bin's matter?"

“Okay.” Yang Jinwen nodded: “I respect your personal choice, but there’s one thing, Qi Bin, it’s not that you lack ability, it’s that I haven’t put you to use.”

However, since we're only on temporary assignment, we'll eventually come back.

That's not necessarily true... He Jinbo thought to himself, then looked at Yao Weihua and Cai Ting: "What about you two?"

As Yao Weihua hesitated, He Jinbo said, "Old Yao, I advise you not to think about it. Just go to the provincial capital for a while, solve a few cases, do your job well, and when you come back, use your connections to at least get a section chief position and become a captain. You're not getting any younger."

"A section chief?" Yao Weihua scoffed. "I don't want to be promoted. I don't even care about your position as deputy detachment leader."

He Jinbo pursed his lips: "I don't like hearing that. What are you thinking?"

“I didn’t say I wouldn’t go,” Yao Weihua said. “However, I have an acquaintance at the Qincheng Public Security Bureau. If I go, they might not welcome me.”

"Who?"

Yao Weihua shook his head: "Never mind, I'll go with Captain Yang."

"Alright then." He Jinbo gestured with his chin toward Cai Ting.

"I don't mind, it's good to go and learn."

"Okay, it's settled then. With Captain Yang and the other three, I'll report it to the Qincheng Public Security Bureau today. You can rest for two days and set off once the secondment documents come through."

The cat said, "Master, you haven't asked me yet."

"Get lost. Go downstairs and check on your sister if you have nothing to do."

"Oh."

Yang Jinwen asked, "Captain He, what will happen to the Municipal Public Security Bureau's Major Crimes Unit if we leave?"

Just as He Jinbo was about to speak, there was a knock on the office door.

Jiang Jianbing, Xu Guoliang, Jiang Bala, and Fu Yun peeked out from outside, holding cardboard boxes in their hands, and chuckled.

He Jinbo was furious when he saw them, and pointed at them: "These four are the ones who were transferred here."

"How dare you speak like that, you're just a deputy branch commander?"

"Yeah, who are you trying to impress with that sour face?"

"Old He, where should we have the welcome dinner tonight? An'nan Grand Hotel?"

He Jinbo complained, "Who said we were hosting a welcome party for you?"

Jiang Jianbing put down his personal belongings and replied, "Old He, we're here to help you, don't be so stingy. Besides, we've come all this way..."

He Jinbo pointed out the window: "How far? The Chengbei Branch is only five kilometers away from here, and the Jiaxing Branch is only eight kilometers away. You think you can take advantage of me? Dream on!"

With a stretch of his arm, Jiang Bala pulled a pack of Zhonghua cigarettes from his left breast pocket.

"Hey, Hua Zi, this is a good cigarette."

Jiang Bala took out cigarettes, handed one to each person, and put the rest into his pocket.

Jiang Jianbing patted Yang Jinwen on the shoulder forcefully: "Good lad, not bad, you've been promoted again in just over a year."

Yang Jinwen smiled and said, "It's just a temporary transfer."

"A temporary transfer is still a transfer. If those people in the provincial capital can't beat you, it's not a temporary transfer, it's replacing you!"

Xu Guoliang patted Maozi on the shoulder: "Maozi, you've got some good luck, haven't you? You didn't even offer me a cigarette?"

The cat cried out, "Uncle Xu, please stop messing with me, I'm poor!"

"Poor my ass! Do you have a bunch of Zhonghua cigarettes in your pocket?"

"Uh... how did you know?"

Jiang pointed at the ashtray on the table: "These cigarette butts are all covered in cigarette butts. Do you think we're blind?"

Cat had no choice but to take out the cigarettes: "I was originally planning to take them back to my dad."

Xu Guoliang stretched out his hand halfway, then withdrew it, sighing, "If my girl had your awareness, I could die in peace." "Get lost!" He Jinbo cursed, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

"Pah! Pah pah..." Xu Guoliang quickly spat twice into his palm.

He Jinbo gritted his teeth and said, "Alright, I'll show you around the city bureau's working methods. Tonight after get off work, let's go to Fumanlou Restaurant for two tables; it's on me."

Jiang Jianbing laughed and said, "I knew it, Captain He wouldn't be so stingy."

He Jinbo stood up, pulled over his and Xu Guoliang's cardboard boxes, rummaged around inside, and pulled out two well-worn copies of Royal Color magazine.

"I knew it! You two were definitely hiding this thing!"

He Jinbo threw several magazines into the trash can and said, "These things absolutely cannot appear in our building. Lao Jiang, Lao Xu, this is a serious matter. I'm not joking!"

"No!" Jiang Jianbing picked it up from the trash can and patted the dust off the cover.

He Jinbo was furious: "Still picking it up?"

Jiang Jianbing held the magazine up to him and flipped through its contents: "Here, take a good look. Is this Royal Color Magazine? This is cheap, low-quality literature. Do you even know what I mean?"

He Jinbo glanced at it and found that the contents were indeed quite serious.

"That won't do either. The newly appointed Director Shi, Shi Guodong, is the most opposed to these things. We mustn't let him find out."

Also, from now on, when you two are investigating a case, just focus on investigating the case. Don't use the guise of investigating a case to buy things from the other person just because they're poor and then try to get reimbursed for them.

The Chengbei branch is different from the municipal branch; the organization won't reimburse you, so you'll have to pay for it yourself.

Xu Guoliang let out a sigh of relief: "I knew I shouldn't have come. Old Zheng fooled us, saying that Captain He was an old leader who would take care of us. Is this taking care of us? This is skinning us alive."

Jiang Jianbing also said, "That's right."

Jiang Bala, puffing on his cigarette, said, "Old Fu and I had no choice but to come. The Jiaxing branch has been cracking down on bad practices lately, and we're being watched by inspectors every day. They find problems even when there's nothing wrong."

Yao Weihua asked, "What happened? I haven't heard any news."

Fu Yun replied, "It's all because of Chai Tao from Team Chai. That guy was suspended from his duties for self-reflection, fishing in the Yanzi River for several months. Later, they found out he hadn't committed any major disciplinary violations, and they were just about to transfer him back..."

Jiang Bala chimed in, "Who knew that the inspectors would find out some more problems with Captain Chai, saying that when he was suspended, he used the name of the Municipal Criminal Investigation Detachment to swindle and deceive people everywhere, so they put him back on duty."

Upon hearing this, Yao Weihua and Maozi quickly lowered their heads.

"Well, since I'm on holiday today, I'll be going now." Yao Weihua stood up and slipped away.

Cat also said, "I'm going downstairs to see my sister."

Cai Ting laughed and said, "Then I'll go back and wait for your notification."

Yang Jinwen sighed: "Team Leader Chai is a good comrade."

Jiang said, "That's right. We were transferred from the south of the city to Jiaxing because we thought he was a good person, a very loyal person, and he never mistreated us. I guess he's been plagued by bad luck this year because he's attracted some villains."

He Jinbo looked at Yao Weihua and Maozi's retreating figures and muttered, "This is strange."

Yang Jinwen chatted with them for a while longer, then tidied up his desk, gave up his chair, and temporarily handed over his position to Jiang Jianbing.

At noon, Yang Jinwen went downstairs to the forensic room.

Zhang Lei sat at the long table as usual, engrossed in a large, thick book.

He raised an eyebrow and said, "Hey, Captain Yang, long time no see."

Yang Jinwen glanced at the book in his hand and frowned, "You haven't finished reading this book yet?"

Zhang Lei nodded: "It's obscure and difficult to understand; you have to study it carefully, word by word."

Yang Jinwen took a few steps forward, then quickly went around the table and stood behind Zhang Lei.

Before Zhang Lei could put the books away, he saw a martial arts novel in the middle of the room with the words "Yang Guo" and "Ancient Tomb Sect" written on it.

Zhang Lei remained motionless, and gave an awkward laugh: "Captain Yang, you're not going to tell Forensic Doctor Wen, are you?"

"No. I didn't know you liked martial arts novels. Did you just start reading this book?"

Zhang Lei scratched his eyebrow with his index finger: "I just bought it from a street stall yesterday. It's just a hobby, purely a hobby."

Yang Jinwen patted him on the shoulder: "I advise you not to look back."

"What?"

"Because Xiaolongnu was defiled by Yin Zhiping of the Quanzhen Sect."

Zhang Lei was stunned: "No way?"

"If you don't believe me, turn the page and look at Chapter 7, 'The Double Ninth Festival Inscription'."

After Yang Jinwen finished speaking, he walked towards the door inside the forensic room, leaving Zhang Lei dumbfounded.

Inside the door, Wen Ling was sharpening a knife, while Jiang Yuxin was washing tools such as saws and scissors in the sink.

These are all tools used by forensic doctors for autopsies, and they need to be repaired from time to time to prevent them from malfunctioning when needed.

The cat stood to one side, helping to organize the toolbox.

Two weeks ago, Jiang Yuxin was arranged by He Jinbo to intern at the Municipal Public Security Bureau's forensic department.

Without this connection, Jiang Yuxin could only work as a nurse at the hospital at most.

She and her classmates believed that being a nurse was actually a good job, and that no job is inherently superior or inferior, regardless of the organization. This was a naive belief held by ordinary people.

In the blind 90s, only those who were truly within the system knew how big the difference was.

You know, being a worker was a very prestigious profession in the 90s, but what is a worker now? Nothing!

Wen Ling glanced at Yang Jinwen: "You have two days off, what are you planning to do?"

Just as Yang Jinwen was about to answer, the group suddenly heard Zhang Lei's shrill screams coming from outside.

"Yin Zhiping! You son of a bitch! I'll fucking kill you! I'll never forgive you!"
