Major Crimes Unit Starts with Police Academy Students

It was Wu Mingcheng who personally came up to him to ask for instructions and explain the purpose of the matter.

He thought he'd have Wu Mingcheng train a few new recruits, so he assigned Xia Jie, Zhao Jiwei, and Li Dawei to work with them.

At this point, Wang Shouyi was also somewhat displeased. Cao Jianjun, after all, was a veteran policeman with so many years of experience; how could he possibly take credit for a newcomer's work? That was a bit much.

Most importantly, Wu Mingcheng was also involved. If it were only Yang Shu, he could have covered it up, considered the bigger picture, and let it go.

However, since Wu Mingcheng was among the 16, this matter became more complicated, especially since it also involved all the newcomers.

He then patted the poplar tree.

"Knowledge is power, Poplar, don't leave. Sitting in an office is nothing compared to being on the front lines."

But Yang Shu clearly showed no joy. After handing over the work, he returned to his workstation expressionlessly and began reading.

After Cao Jianjun came downstairs, he went straight to Yang Shu's side.

"Yang Shu, I spoke with the instructor, and he asked me to prepare a written report on this electric scooter tracking case."

"You have good writing skills and your summary is insightful. You write it, and I'll submit it."

Yang Shu was clearly unhappy about what had just happened, and he answered absentmindedly.

"Oh,"

Cao Jianjun naturally knew what Yang Shu was thinking, and asked in return,

"What's wrong? You're not happy about solving a big case, but instead you look gloomy?"

"You're not blaming me for not telling the director that the idea was yours, and you were the one who carried it out, are you?"

Cao Jianjun, a seasoned veteran of the institute, was extremely adept at dealing with newbies like Yang Shu.

Before Yang Shu could speak, he continued.

"Hey, you're overthinking it. The director is such a smart guy, even if I don't say anything, he knows this is all your doing."

Besides, you're my apprentice. When it comes to solving cases, what's mine is yours, and what's yours is mine, isn't it?

If Wu Mingcheng had heard Cao Jianjun's words, he would probably have been greatly surprised.

He would probably ask directly, "Officer Cao, how come you possess such sophisticated PUA techniques?"

Just then, several policemen passed by and overheard Cao Jianjun's words.

One of them asked,

"Jianjun, what's going on? I heard from the station that you solved a case using GPS. When did you get this skill?"

Cao Jianjun first waved his hand and said,

"Hey, we police officers have to keep up with the times, right?"

Then, he put his arm around the poplar tree and smiled at everyone.

"Hey, look at this, my apprentice and I solved a case together, and he's upset because I didn't stand him out in front of the chief. He's giving me a piece of his mind."

Upon hearing this, the police officers felt a bit uneasy. Yang Shu was essentially sent over by the bureau to gain experience and prestige.

You want to steal the credit from us low-ranking police officers? That's really unacceptable.

So they all started to jeer.

"Doctor, with such profound knowledge, are you trying to steal the credit?"

"Jianjun, people with doctorates come down here to get their credentials, why don't you put yours on too?"

"Exactly! Let's plaster him up like a giant golden doll and send him over, to be our bureau's lucky charm!"

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

As they talked, everyone burst into laughter, though there was an undeniable hint of sarcasm in their laughter.

Yang Shu, standing nearby, couldn't possibly expose Cao Jianjun on the spot out of politeness.

He could only endure the laughter of a few people, and was very disappointed in Cao Jianjun. He prepared to leave in shame.

Just then, Wu Mingcheng came out. He had overheard the police station talking about Cao Jianjun using GPS to solve the case, and he also saw Yang Shu, whose expression wasn't good.

He pretended not to know anything, walked over, and congratulated Yang Shu.

"Hey, Yang Shu, you're here! I heard that the GPS we set up in the neighborhood is working well. You've really done a great job this time!"

Wu Mingcheng's words abruptly interrupted the laughter of Cao Jianjun and several veteran policemen.

Hearing Wu Mingcheng's words, the veteran police officers looked at Cao Jianjun with strange expressions, and Cao Jianjun felt a bit embarrassed at that moment.

Wu Mingcheng, who was walking over, naturally noticed the expressions on Cao Jianjun's and the others' faces.

But he pretended not to see anything, walked straight to the poplar tree, and gently punched it.

"Good for you, kid. You've done a great job. Don't forget the contributions of me, Li Dawei, Xiaojie, Jiwei, and me. We personally ran errands for you all day."

As he spoke, he subtly gave Yang Shu a look.

Yang Shu immediately realized that Wu Mingcheng was trying to help him out of a predicament.

He glanced at Cao Jianjun, who was blushing furiously. Cao Jianjun was utterly ashamed that he had been exposed for stealing his apprentice's credit.

Yang Shu felt a surge of relief and suppressed a laugh.

"Mingcheng, don't worry, how could that be? I would never forget you all."

At this moment, Wu Mingcheng turned around and greeted the veteran police officers.

"Hey guys, Officer Cao, you're here too."

Chapter 478 Going to take the doctoral entrance exam?

An older policeman and several others exchanged glances; they didn't usually have a high opinion of Cao Jianjun either.

Cao Jianjun is selfish, ambitious, and has poor interpersonal relationships.

Then, the man asked curiously,

"Mingcheng, what's going on?"

Wu Mingcheng then smiled and said,

"Oh, here's what happened. Yang Shu and Da came up with this GPS for the three of us."

Then, when it was time to do community outreach, Yang Shu was the only one there, so a few of us newbies went to help him.”

As soon as Wu Mingcheng finished speaking, Cao Jianjun's heart sank. He was doomed; he had been completely exposed.

The veteran police officers then realized what was going on. So, after all that fuss, it turned out that it was Cao Jianjun who stole the credit from the new recruit?

Based on their usual understanding of Cao Jianjun, this matter is most likely true.

While they might disapprove of the gilded poplar trees, that doesn't mean they can tolerate Cao Jianjun's behavior.

Several people then spoke in a rather tactful manner.

"Jianjun, so that's how it was?"

"Yang Shu and his colleagues also put in a lot of hard work,"

"Yes, we have to be realistic and not resort to any underhanded methods,"

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

Seeing this, Wu Mingcheng quickly pretended to be very sensible and said,

"Brothers, Officer Cao definitely deserves the main credit. How dare we take credit from Officer Cao?"

He personally led the men to arrest them, so the few of us were obviously not worth mentioning.”

One of the policemen shook his head and said,

“Mingcheng, you’re wrong about that. If everyone did that, who would risk their lives?”

Wu Mingcheng didn't rush to defend himself, but turned to Yang Shu and said,

"Yang Shu, come on, tell me quickly what happened back then, how did you catch the man?"

With that, he put his arm around Yang Shu's arm and left.

After the two of them left, Cao Jianjun felt extremely awkward facing the group of veteran police officers, his face flushing red and then turning pale.

Several veteran police officers stepped forward, patted Cao Jianjun on the shoulder, and solemnly said,

"Jianjun, you'd better watch yourself,"

Yang Shu felt incredibly relieved as he left with Wu Mingcheng, and secretly gave Wu Mingcheng a thumbs up.

"Mingcheng, thank goodness you came, thank you so much!"

Wu Mingcheng waved his hand and said,

"Alright, I already know what happened. Who told you to run into a master like this?"

Don't take it too seriously; the director should know the details of what happened.

He offered Yang Shu a word of comfort and then left; a police auxiliary officer had just come over to tell him to prepare for a call.

Upon hearing Wu Mingcheng's words, Yang Shu's mood instantly soured, and he nodded blankly at him.

After getting home from get off work, Yang Shu lay on his bed in his bedroom, staring blankly at the doctoral application materials on his computer screen.
