296: Chapter 267: Work on Several More Cases_2 296: Chapter 267: Work on Several More Cases_2 On one hand, Wang Chuanxing wanted to rake in as much credit for the case as possible, on the other hand, he didn’t dare to offend Director Wan and Jiang Yuan, as they surely had more information in their possession, enough to prove their conjectures, perhaps including recorded phone calls or even written records.

At the same time, Wang Chuanxing also couldn’t afford to alienate his direct superior.

He had to make it clear that his actions were not taken on his own accord, nor was it a case of forgetting his old love for a new bride.

The assistant officer next to him was quite a bit older than Wang Chuanxing, and from the look of things, he had figured out a thing or two.

As soon as Wang Chuanxing finished his phone call, the assistant officer teased, “You college graduates, in your 20-pound heads, there must be about 2 pounds of ‘brain flowers’, right?

Such a hassle.”

“You think there’s only two pounds of brain in a 20-pound head?” Wang Chuanxing laughed.

“As cops, having a thicker skull might be an advantage,” the assistant officer said with a chuckle, neither envious of Wang Chuanxing’s bright future nor concerned about the evidence he carried.

With the social insurance and housing fund, the uniform also brought prestige when worn out, and it made small errands more convenient.

Although they sometimes came across disgusting people, as long as they stayed within their jurisdiction, the happy moments outnumbered the bothersome ones.

As for what Wang Chuanxing was chasing, at least for now, he wasn’t interested.

…

Changyang City Criminal Police Detachment.

In the large meeting room.

Those working on the PPT and writing the whiteboard were in chaotic disarray.

The murderer has been caught, and in the Criminal Investigation Department’s PPT and on the whiteboard, the key evidence of the bloody clothes, the murder weapon, and the confession were the focus.

In this case, the eyewitnesses have become irrelevant.

Normally, making guesses with a PPT would be commonplace if the bloody clothes or murder weapon couldn’t be found.

If you guess right, you’d be lauded, and if you don’t, you could always produce another PPT to analyze the reasons why.

This approach, however, has one problem: the murder weapon and bloody clothes mustn’t be found too quickly!

If the conclusions come too quickly, then the current inferences will have to be immediately evaluated and compared.

And in the meeting room, none of the elite officers seemed to have deduced the correct location, otherwise they’d just send someone to search the killer’s house.

Wan Baoming watched on with detachment, looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar scenes unfold before him, sighed softly, “Adorned with an exquisite facade, intricately decorated, yet in the end they fell like sandcastles, truly lamentable.”

“PPTs don’t cost much to produce,” Wei Zhenguo also shook his head as he looked at the disorderly scene.

“A poorly made PPT can deplete the leader’s approval,” Wan Baoming said.

“That’s the highest cost there is.”

“What’s this ‘leader’s approval’ thing?”

“It’s about the level of the leaders who come, the timing, and the frequency of their visits,” he explained.

While they were talking, two policemen in white shirts, followed by several officers in plain clothes, walked in.

The last one, walking with a stiff back and gazing straight ahead, was Wang Chuanxing, looking quite gallant.

Plain clothes refer to the nice but rarely worn police uniforms often seen in movies and TV shows.

For officers with duty tasks and work, wearing plain clothes to work is like wearing a suit—it’s more about looking impressive than actual capability.

Therefore, rank-and-file officers usually wear duty uniforms daily, and considering cleanliness as being able to wash their trousers a few more times.

However, it’s different for the office-bound leaders; they hardly wear duty uniforms unless they have to be present at the scene, sticking to plain clothes in their regular attire.

Just like now.

“It’s Captain Yu,” Wan Baoming gave Jiang Yuan a heads-up.

Jiang Yuan had quite a few dealings with Yu Wenshu while working on the Tan Yong case, involving a man who had kidnapped a woman in a basement he excavated in his apartment complex.

However, during the investigation phase, the main protagonist was Liu Jinghui.

Jiang Yuan and the others sat up straight.

When Captain Yu entered the meeting room and scanned the room, he headed straight for Jiang Yuan.

“Captain Yu,” Jiang Yuan and his colleagues stood up.

“Sit, sit,” Yu Wenshu said motioning for Jiang Yuan to take a seat beside him, and then he smiled, “I didn’t expect it, but just a few days after we last met, you’ve become even more formidable, Doctor Jiang.”

“It’s mostly good luck,” Jiang Yuan responded modestly.

“This isn’t about luck.

When you were working on trace evidence that one time, I mentioned it was like looking for needle in a haystack, and look at you now, even more impressive.” Yu Wenshu praised profusely before signaling, “Wang Chuanxing, come over here too, let’s take a photo together.”

The photographer hurried over.

With Jiang Yuan on his left and Wang Chuanxing on his right, Captain Yu posed for several snaps until he was satisfied.

Then Yu Wenshu said, “Jiang Yuan strategizes from a thousand miles away for a decisive victory.

Wang Chuanxing has strong execution and patience, securing the murder weapon and bloody clothes in record time is no small feat.

Having such young people in the police force is a real joy…”

Jiang Yuan simply smiled.

Wang Chuanxing tried to maintain seriousness, but couldn’t help grinning nonetheless.

Yu Wenshu then addressed Jiang Yuan, “When you cracked that case with fingerprints the other day, I sensed something special.

Little did I expect that in just a few days, you would solve the 513 case.

You don’t know, internally we almost tagged it as a random crime.

Luckily, I hadn’t signed off on it yet, otherwise…”

Captain Yu glanced at the young people frantically revising their PPTs in the meeting room, whispered playfully, “Some people wanted to postpone the meeting, but I denied it, just to see how quickly they could make the changes.”
