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

"Later, when you, Director, arranged for Li Dawei and Zhao Jiwei to go for training, I didn't say anything..."

"But now that it's come to this, you still won't let me go? I'm a police officer too, why can't I take some responsibility?"

The director fell silent.

He didn't know what to say; he could only treat Xia Jie as a child, still acting impulsively.

"Xia Jie, like this..."

Cao Jianjun naturally denied it: "Don't go to the Northeast this time. Wait for next time... If there are other cases next time, Brother Cao will definitely take you with me."

"Chief, do you think I'm being unreasonable?"

Xia Jie didn't know how to explain it.

Her eyes were a little red, and the feeling of being surrounded and protected made her feel particularly depressed.

"Child, it's not like that..."

The director was at his wit's end again, and sighed with concern, "This...this is a criminal case in Northeast China, it's no joke."

"You tell me... if you were in danger, how would your mother survive?"

“It’s not that the director is afraid of your mother, but she really has a tough job. Besides, this case doesn’t necessarily require you to go, right?”

"Leaving aside your father's matter, in criminal cases, especially dangerous ones, don't male police officers have an advantage?"

"Right? Considering all of this, do you think... the director should keep you here?"

Xia Jie wouldn't listen. She nodded, turned around and left, leaving everyone in the office stunned.

See this.

The director quickly gave the instructor a look: "Quick, go check it out, make sure nothing goes wrong."

Instructor Ye Wei responded and turned to chase after him.

This commotion lasted all morning, starting from the moment Cao Jianjun arrived at work, and the director's office was in constant turmoil.

The director had been standing all morning, and his back pain flared up again. He clutched his back with one hand, slowly sat down, and kept groaning, "Ouch, ouch."

"Chief, how about... I take Li Dawei with me?"

Cao Jianjun saw that there was no point in continuing with this ink stain.

"Is Li Dawei up to the task?"

Just as Deputy Director Gao Chao asked a follow-up question, Xia Jie hurriedly returned from outside, still holding her phone.

"Chief, I've already spoken to my mom. She'll be spending the Chinese New Year at my aunt's place, so I don't need to worry."

"Furthermore, I also mentioned that I was going on a business trip to Northeast China, and she had no objections."

As she spoke, Xia Jie pushed the phone in front of the director: "If you don't believe me, call her and ask. Now you can rest assured, right?"

Stubborn, really stubborn.

The director looked helpless, leaning back in his chair and sighing.

"Old Xia... how did he end up with such a daughter? You really are just like your father."

"Then can you let me go?"

Xia Jie continued to press, "I also went to the criminal investigation team with Brother Cao to learn about Yue Wei's case back then."

. ........ .......

"So compared to the others in the institute, I have an advantage..."

"Li Dawei and Brother Chen are currently busy with community work, and Zhao Jiwei and Director Gao are simply too busy to get involved."

"The instructor also led the rest of the staff in carrying out a 100-day safety education campaign."

"You tell me, in the entire institute right now, who else is more suitable than me?"

Not only was the director speechless.

This effectively silenced Gao Suo, the instructor, and Cao Jianjun.

Now everyone is silent, heads down, looking embarrassed and unable to find an excuse.

"or……"

Cao Jianjun felt a bit tormented: "Chief, shall we discuss this again? Or, shall I go and borrow someone from Captain Luo?"

"Hey, that's a good idea."

The director's eyes lit up suddenly, and he straightened up, saying, "How come I didn't think of that? Director Song sent you to the Northeast, so their criminal investigation team must have to transfer someone too, right?"

"Director..."

Xia Jie broke down, barely holding back her grievances, tears welling in her eyes: "Am I really that unworthy to be a police officer?"

"This……"

The group fell silent again. Cao Jianjun conceded, "Chief, how about... we let Xia Jie go?"

Putting aside the fact that the girl had put it so bluntly, the director's overprotective behavior was itself an insult to Xia Jie.

"you said?"

The director wrinkled his nose and said irritably, "If I go with you, can you guarantee her personal safety?"

"What you're saying is..." Cao Jianjun retorted, unconvinced. "She's my apprentice. If I don't guarantee her safety, whose safety am I supposed to guarantee?"

"Well……"

The director slammed his hand on the table and pointed at Xia Jie: "It's settled then. Xia Jie, pack your things and go to the Northeast with Jianjun."

Cao Jianjun finally understood; the director was clearly just looking for a way out.

Unfortunately, I ended up getting caught up in this mess.

Xia Jie happily followed Cao Jianjun out of the director's office.

As they left, the leader watched their retreating figures and couldn't help but sigh.

"Oh dear, the more I look at this girl, the more I'm reminded of Old Xia from back then..."

The director was too excited just now, and his back started hurting again, so he sat down in the chair.

"That's true."

Instructor Ye Wei said, "I had only been at the institute for a few years at that time, but I had a particularly deep impression of Director Xia."

"It wasn't easy either," Gao said with a wry smile. "If it weren't for Xia's situation, Xia Jie could have gone to the Northeast with us if she wanted to."

"This is a special case, there's nothing we can do about it."

With a whole host of upsetting things finally over, the director finally breathed a sigh of relief.

…………

The trip to Northeast China is urgent. Today is already the fifteenth of the twelfth lunar month, and the longer it is delayed, the more difficult it will be.

After leaving the director's office, Cao Jianjun immediately began preparations with Xia Jie.

The two of them immediately went back to their respective homes to pack their clothes and personal belongings.

Cao Jianjun also needs to ask his wife for a long leave of absence, and he needs to make preparations in advance that she may not be able to come back for the Spring Festival.

It seemed that Zhou Hui was in good spirits because of her sister-in-law's company, and she understood the importance of Cao Jianjun's task, showing no sadness at all.

Having a good wife makes things much easier.

Before leaving, Cao Jianjun went to the supermarket and bought a lot of New Year's goods, fearing that his wife and sister-in-law would be reluctant to buy them.

Everything that needed to be done was taken care of in one day, and I slept with my wife that night.

the next day.

Early in the morning, Cao Jianjun and Xia Jie took a taxi from their respective homes to Quancheng Airport.

The ticket was bought for me by the institute yesterday, and it's a direct flight to Ping'an City.

Yue Wei's hometown is a county under the jurisdiction of Ping'an City. According to the plan, after the plane lands in Ping'an, the local police will send someone to bring a car.

of course.

The car was definitely not borrowed for no reason.

It's because Captain Luo of the Criminal Investigation Team had previously cooperated with the Ping An Police Force, and they were even comrades-in-arms.

To put it bluntly, the Ping An police were only willing to help this time because of Captain Luo's influence.

But when Cao Jianjun boarded the plane and opened the contact information provided by Captain Luo, he was taken aback.

The note clearly stated the name Pan Jianghai, followed by the words "former criminal investigator and current pre-trial investigator" from the Ping'an City Police Department.

"A trident?"

Cao Jianjun's heart skipped a beat, and he almost instinctively thought of these three people.

The three old guys from Ping'an City Police Department: Cui Tiejun, Xu Guozhu, and Pan Jianghai.

The contact person that Captain Luo gave him was one of them.
