I'm not a genius detective

Chapter 19 People Can't Be Kept
The Wanglou Police Station was bustling and chaotic tonight.

Because of Zhao Kai's matter, a large number of relatives from both his parents' families came.

Just as the scrap metal dealer had expected, Zhao Kai's maternal grandparents berated their son and even physically assaulted him.

The uncle called the police and his nephew was arrested. How can the two families get along in the future? What will their relatives and friends think when they find out?
Some objective and rational relatives said that Zhao Kai was at fault, and that if Zhao Kai hadn't had ulterior motives, none of this would have happened. But they were quickly overwhelmed by the wave of condemnation from their elders.

The boss felt wronged. It was clearly someone else who stole my things, but in the end, I was the one who made the mistake?

Does this make sense? Isn't this a miscarriage of justice?
The elders requested that the case be dropped as if nothing had happened, but a public prosecution case cannot be dropped just because you say so. The case filing and investigation have already been completed, and only the review and transfer remain.

This result infuriated both families, who then began to argue and make a scene.

The mediators and legal officers were in charge of handling the case. After the interrogation, the criminal investigation team sent two groups of people to the metal processing plant and other scrap metal collection stations, which were the locations where Zhao Kai confessed to selling stolen goods.

Once all the evidence has been secured, the criminal investigation team's work is finished. At most, they will report to the branch office and then be responsible for transferring the suspect to the detention center.

Whether or not they are prosecuted is none of their business.

"They solved the case in no time after entering the warehouse. The more I think about it, the more impressed I am. You should apply to the branch office or the city bureau. It's a waste of your talent to work in a police station."

At work, Zhang Silei couldn't help but express his admiration for Han Ling.

Recalling the process from reporting the case to identifying the suspect, he had just as much information as Han Ling, but before he could even process what was happening, Han Ling had already found the suspect.

Han Ling laughed and said, "Isn't it because I'm not confident? I dare not take the test."

Zhang Silei was skeptical. Theoretical learning was always easier than practical application. How could someone so smart have poor grades?
"By the way, how did you do that? It's like you have a god's-eye view," he asked.

Han Ling said, "It's actually very simple. The modus operandi is closely related to the suspect's identity, and there is only one modus operandi."

“Uh…” Zhang Silei opened his mouth.

I answered, but it also seems like I didn't answer.

The criminal investigation team worked until 10 p.m., and when they returned to the police station, Zhao Kai's family's relatives were still there.

Fortunately, they have all calmed down and are discussing what to do with the legal officer at the office.

One of the deputy directors of the institute was also there; he was in charge of legal affairs.

There are four deputy directors in total, each with their own specific responsibilities.

Director's office.

The director and instructor were both present.

They were already clear about the investigation process. Zhu Yue had not participated in the entire process. It was Han Ling who quickly figured out the method of the crime and locked onto Zhao Kai in a very short time, without any effective information.

It was so fast that Zhu Yue didn't even have time to launch an investigation, and the police station didn't even have time to file a case.

The time for filing a case is after the police have received the report and determined whether the case meets the criteria for filing based on the on-site investigation. This case was indeed solved quite quickly.

Even Zhu Yue, the head of the criminal investigation team, had to admit defeat.

"How did you know the metal was hidden in the plastic container? You haven't done this before, have you?"

Director Tao Guowei poured himself some tea and started joking.

The case-solving rate is one of the important indicators for measuring the effectiveness of a police station's work, and quickly solving difficult cases has a better effect in the assessment. At this moment, he was naturally happy.

However, he was genuinely asking the question. He had already figured out the suspect's modus operandi as soon as he entered the warehouse. This shows an incredible understanding of crime. Even if an experienced detective couldn't do it, it would be extremely difficult for a recent police academy graduate.

Recalling what the other party did at the film and television base, it was also a form of counter-surveillance.

Han Ling explained, "When I was in police academy, I liked to study crime in my spare time. Understanding the suspects made future investigations easier."

That's why I say my grades are bad.

Tao Guowei was somewhat taken aback: "Others study investigation, and you study crime. The teacher didn't say you've put the cart before the horse."

"It's a good thing I became a policeman, otherwise I'd be out of control." Han Ling smiled but didn't answer the question.

If I hadn't transmigrated and become a police officer, and encountered injustice in the new world, I probably wouldn't have been able to tolerate it. In that case, we would be living two different lives in two different worlds.

Zhu Yue spoke up at the opportune moment: "Chief Tao, am I right? I think this kid is good. In the future, our police station might produce a master detective."

"What about the early promotion?"

This master treats his disciple very well.

There are two ways to get promoted early: the first is by personal application, which has a low success rate, and the second is by departmental recommendation, which has a high success rate.

Departmental recommendation is a process in which the direct supervisor gives a comprehensive evaluation based on the trainee police officer's daily performance and work achievements, and then reports it to higher authorities.

The approval was handled by the Gu'an District Public Security Bureau.

"It's too early. Can I submit it in two months?" Tao Guowei didn't refuse. He looked at Han Ling and said, "Take some time to write an application and hand it to me. Write it carefully and don't try to fool me."

Trainee police officers need to meet several conditions to be promoted to regular status ahead of schedule, including obtaining law enforcement qualification certificates in advance, outstanding work performance, meritorious service, and excellent quarterly assessment.

Han Ling basically meets all the requirements, but lacks quarterly assessments. The results will be submitted to the branch office for review when they are available.

"Okay, thank you, Director Tao." People always strive for higher positions, and Han Ling naturally wouldn't let this opportunity slip by.

Tao Guowei nodded: "Okay, you're not on duty today, so go back and rest first."

"Yes." Han Ling left.

He had already given up the rental apartment, and now he lives in a dormitory. The conditions are a bit worse, but it saves money.

In his previous life, he never worried about money. After transmigrating, he had to be more careful with his money and see if he could buy a company-provided apartment.

The current housing prices haven't exploded yet, but in a few years they might not be able to afford them.

After Han Ling left, Tao Guowei, in front of the instructor and Zhu Yue, dialed Ji Bowei's number at the branch office and truthfully informed him of the case Han Ling had solved that day.

Ji Bowei had previously said that he hoped to know about Han Ling's performance at the police station. He was initially unwilling to pay attention, but after learning that it was Wu Bin from the Municipal Public Security Bureau who made the decision, he changed his mind.

We still have to give the deputy detachment leader face.

Moreover, we cannot jeopardize Han Ling's future.

The leaders of the Municipal Public Security Bureau's Criminal Investigation Division have their eye on you. If you try to force it, what will Han Ling think if she finds out?
After a brief exchange, Tao Guowei politely hung up the phone.

Zhu Yue understood and frowned, saying, "Director Tao, Han Ling hasn't even been officially promoted yet, and the branch office is already trying to poach him?"

Tao Guowei didn't answer, but instead asked, "If this child had the opportunity to go to the branch office, would you let him go?"

Zhu Yue was stumped. Emotionally, he certainly didn't want his apprentice to leave, but rationally, he knew very well that the branch office had a brighter future than the police station.

"Well, if he's being valued, I'm happy for him." Zhu Yue said sincerely, "It seems his performance at the film and television base attracted the attention of the criminal investigation team leaders. They have a really good eye."

Upon hearing this, the instructor chuckled: "You took him away right from the start. How could someone who's been doing criminal investigations for years not notice?"

Zhu Yue was embarrassed: "That's true. What was Han Ling thinking back then? Why didn't he just take the exam for the branch office directly? Why go through all that trouble?"

Instructor: "Didn't Han Ling herself say that she was too focused on studying crime and lacked confidence in her performance?"

Zhu Yue chuckled to himself.

He had a premonition that he probably wouldn't be able to keep the person; it was just a matter of time.

"I wonder how much longer we can work together."

Even if they poach people, it can't be that fast; it would take at least two or three years.
I've never heard of directly poaching new police officers, and besides, this matter isn't that simple.
