Detective: I, Cao Jianjun, started by arresting my brother-in-law.

the next day.

After having breakfast, Cao Jianjun and Xia Jie, roused, headed to the police station together.

No matter how many unpleasant things happened yesterday, as soon as it's light, wearing their police uniforms and standing in front of the mirror, they are all-powerful peacemakers.

Back at the station, Xia Jie went on a call with Cheng Hao.

Cao Jianjun parked his car and entered the station, whereupon Yang Shu rushed over, calling out, "Master, Master..."

"what happened?"

"Director..."

Yang Shu hurriedly pointed upstairs: "The director said he wants you to come upstairs; he has something to tell you."

Director?

It seemed there was progress in Green Vine's case. Cao Jianjun didn't waste any words, nodded, and quickly went upstairs.

When I pushed open the door to the director's office, I saw that the instructor Ye Wei, the deputy director Gao Chao, and the director Wang Shouyi were all inside.

"Director, Instructor, Director Gao..."

Cao Jianjun greeted them one by one: "What do you need me for?"

"Jianjun, come, come, have a seat."

The director waved his hand, pursed his lips, and said, "Let's get straight to the point, it's like this..."

"I submitted the Green Vine Case Report that you compiled for me to the branch office, and then Director Song submitted it to the municipal office."

"It was passed down layer by layer, and yesterday it was finally handed over to the Provincial Criminal Investigation Division..."

"After a meeting, the Criminal Investigation Brigade forwarded the report to the 915 task force that was handling the case at Green Vine."

"Then, the task force is coming over today."

Finally, the director changed the subject, pointing to Cao Jianjun: "Moreover, they specifically asked to come and find you."

"Find me?"

Cao Jianjun didn't understand: "Chief, didn't you say I wasn't in charge of this? I've already given you the report."

"You gave it to me... but that's a report you wrote."

The director was clearly trying to renege on his promise.

Cao Jianjun stood up abruptly: "Who said that? That report was written by Yang Shu."

"I……"

Yang Shu, who was standing behind and looked completely bewildered, froze: "Master..."

"Oh dear, oh dear, look at you, you pathetic sight..."

The director smiled slyly, pointing at Cao Jianjun and saying, "Look, look, isn't the same Cao Jianjun still here? When something happens, he tries to avoid it, and when he gets involved in a case, he tries to shirk responsibility."

"..."

Cao Jianjun wanted to curse: "Chief, you were the one who denied it first."

"Alright, alright, why are you so cunning, Cao Jianjun?"

The director rolled his eyes and sat down again: "Go back and prepare to welcome the task force, and then... go back to Green Vine with the task force and participate in solving the case."

"what?"

Cao Jianjun's eyes widened immediately: "Chief, what do you mean?"

"What do you mean? Don't you understand? Jianjun..."

Even Gao, who was sitting to the side, couldn't stand it anymore and got up to pat him on the shoulder.

"You... have been selected for the special task force. The provincial department has ordered you to join the task force as a temporary specialist to participate in the investigation of the 915 case."

57. The task force arrives, and Balihe sets out.

"Director Gao, you must be joking."

Cao Jianjun was completely dumbfounded.

Didn't we agree that I would write the report and the director would negotiate with the higher-ups?

His original plan was that once the report was submitted to his superiors, Green Vine's task force would see it and immediately launch an operation.

If anything seems amiss, we can ask the Balihe Police Station for assistance.

That's the normal logic.

But now, they're directly demanding troops and generals.

"Oh dear, thanks to Cao Jianjun, our Balihe area has also had a glorious moment."

The director, holding a thermos, smiled and squinted his eyes: "Now the provincial department knows about our institute, not to mention the municipal bureau."

"Director, you've certainly made a name for yourself in your last year."

Instructor Ye Wei also stepped forward to make a joke.

"That is."

The director pressed down on the lid of the thermos with both hands, looked up and sized up Cao Jianjun: "Jianjun, I think... after you go to the special task force this time and come back, our station may not be able to keep you."

"Chief, please, please..."

Cao Jianjun was still quite resistant to it.

Although Miao is very young, he feels comfortable staying at the Balihe Police Station.

The job of a community police officer may not seem glamorous, but it's a reliable one.

Cao Jianjun didn't have such great ambitions; he just wanted to live a comfortable life and do whatever he wanted for the rest of his life.

In my spare time, I enjoy a few drinks with some old colleagues, chatting and joking around. Isn't that a wonderful way to spend my days?

"Alright, hurry up and get ready."

The director pointed to the time on his wristwatch: "If you don't go soon, the task force will be here."

In any case, personal emotions seem particularly unimportant at this time.

Behind the special task force are a series of major murder cases involving Green Vine, directly related to the lives and deaths of countless people.

Especially Xu Yingzi and her brother.

Cao Jianjun had personally promised them, so it would be absurd for him to back out now.

Actually, there wasn't much preparation involved.

I just need to organize my documents, pack some clothes and toiletries, and get ready to head to Green Vine.

After finishing packing, it was almost noon, and the task force still wouldn't arrive for more than three hours.

The group chatted and laughed, deciding to go to the cafeteria for a meal first.

This time, the director, Director Cheng, Director Gao, the instructor, Chen Xincheng, Zhang Zhijie and a group of others surrounded Cao Jianjun.

You say one thing, I say another, teasing each other.

"Jianjun, once the Green Vine case is over, remember to come back and visit us..."

As Chen Xincheng spoke, he also put a piece of chicken on Cao Jianjun's plate.

"Oh dear, I just can't eat anything today."

Cao Jianjun couldn't take it anymore and slammed down his chopsticks, saying, "Chief, this is so boring."

"I was just temporarily seconded to the task force to help out, how come... it's like I betrayed everyone."

"Hahaha……"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone burst into laughter.

"Okay, okay... everyone was just joking with you."

With food in his mouth, the director waved his hand and said, "However, Jianjun, I have an idea."

"Yes, Director, you said..."

"This trip to Green Vine to assist the task force is also a rare opportunity for our institute."

The director slowly wiped his smile, wiped his mouth, and said, "Look, should we bring Li Dawei and Zhao Jiwei along?"

"Yang Shu is a top student after all, he'll definitely have to go back to the Municipal Bureau in the future..."

"But Li Dawei and Zhao Jiwei are different. I want to take this opportunity to go and learn from you."

He really is the director.

She always has the heart of a matriarch.

Even in this short time, he didn't forget to plan a future for his two children, Li Dawei and Zhao Jiwei.

Xia Jie, Yang Shu, Zhao Jiwei, and Li Dawei were the four people who came to the institute for internships.

Li Dawei was essentially a freebie assigned by his superiors; frankly, it was no different from being given away as a gift.

He doesn't have a strong foundation, and his connections aren't particularly solid either; he'll have to rely on himself more in the future.
