I'm not a genius detective

Chapter 69 Joining the Public Security Bureau
In the evening, Zhu Yue's wife cooked a large table of dishes.

This wasn't Han Ling's first meal at Zhu Yue's house, but it was the most important one, as she was leaving Wanglou Police Station the next day.

When a case occurs in the future, the two parties will still work together, but their roles will be different then.

Han Ling is already a member of the Criminal Investigation Brigade and will be directly involved in solving major cases in the jurisdiction. Zhu Yue, as the leader of the Criminal Investigation Team of the police station, will have little interaction with Han Ling in his work unless he is temporarily seconded.

“The branch office and the police station are different, Han Ling. You have to be careful with every step. There’s very little room for error there, and the criminal investigation team won’t allow you to make mistakes either.”

A larger stage means greater responsibility and pressure.

Zhu Yue had drunk too much and ignored the rule against excessive drinking. His wife and children had disappeared, leaving the master and apprentice alone.

Han Ling listened silently.

"Don't let the case wear down your original aspirations... Oh, right!" Zhu Yue slammed his hand on the table, making the dishes tremble. "Don't get yourself involved! Do you understand what I mean?"

Han Ling didn't understand: "I've only been a policeman for a year, what do I know? Please explain more clearly."

Zhu Yue took a sip of wine and said, "Temptation, temptation, don't reach for it when you encounter temptation, and don't tough it out when you face pressure!"
If you really encounter a problem and can't hold on any longer, come back and tell your master. Don't bottle it up inside.

Han Ling nodded: "I know, don't worry, I don't have a high need for money."

Zhu Yue was still worried and said a lot: "Stay close to the veteran criminal police officers in the team, listen and observe more. Also, don't rush too aggressively when making arrests. If you know there is danger, wait for backup!"
What will happen to your family if something happens to you?

Seeing Zhu Yue drinking more and more, Han Ling reminded him, "Master, I have no family."

"Oh..." Zhu Yue suddenly realized what was happening and widened his eyes: "I'm not family?! Tell me, am I family or not?"

Han Ling nodded like a chick pecking at rice: "Yes, yes, yes."

Zhu Yue: "Protecting yourself is more important than anything else! Come back and visit often when you have time; your mentor is still at the station!"

Police officers cannot be afraid of danger, but he did not let Han Ling rush to the front line without thinking.

"The case can wait, but life can't!"

Listening to Zhu Yue's words, Han Ling didn't know whether the other party was being sincere or had ulterior motives related to "Master". He thought... it should be the latter.

He drank too much, obviously too much.

Normally, I would never say these things.

Zhu Yue didn't understand himself. Compared to the situation he faced in his previous life, being a policeman was child's play. At this moment, he just agreed and listened to what was useful—but it seemed like nothing was useful.

Seeing that Zhu Yue's mouth was gradually becoming uncontrollable and he started babbling, Han Ling called his teacher's wife and helped Zhu Yue to the bed.

Zhu Yue was indeed drunk; one second he was sober, the next he collapsed onto the bed and fell asleep.

"Hey, it's been so many years since I've drunk like this. What are you doing?" The teacher's wife was talking about Zhu Yue, and she felt sorry for him as she took off his clothes. "Xiao Ling is still in Gu'an District, it's not like she went abroad."

Han Ling, watching from the side, apologized, "I'm so sorry, Master's wife."

"Hey! It's nothing." The master's wife smiled at Han Ling. "It seems he really cares about you. Excellent people are liked everywhere. When he was at home, he often talked about you. He was so proud when he mentioned you, saying that he would never meet such a good apprentice again in his life. He was taken away by someone else after only one year."

Excellence is also a personal quality. It cannot be said that Zhu Yue only likes Han Ling's excellence. Liking someone is multifaceted.

Han Ling: "Since we live so close, I'll come back often."

Teacher's wife: "I'm so glad you said that. Come back and visit often."

Han Ling: "Definitely, don't worry."

After leaving Zhu Yue's house, Han Ling rode her bicycle back to her rented apartment.

It's very close to the branch office, only a five or six-minute walk, which is very convenient.

Tong Feng had previously mentioned that the branch office might reimburse his rent expenses. He needed to inquire about it tomorrow. If it could be reimbursed, why should he spend the money? He could save it to buy some good cigarettes.

Silent all night.

The next morning, after breakfast, Han Ling strolled to the police station. The station was quiet early in the morning, with the police dog squad walking their dogs to rouse their furry colleagues. Food bowls were already prepared nearby for feeding and training, marking the start of a new day.

Lin Muyang walked over with the German Shepherd and recognized Han Ling.

"Team Leader Lin," Han Ling greeted him.

Lin Muyang nodded: "Here to report for duty?"

She already knew that the other person had been transferred from Wanglou Police Station to the branch office, and that they would be colleagues from now on.

If Han Ling hadn't gone to Yifeng City and discovered the flaws in Hou Jiarou's case, the consequences would have been unpredictable.

Although the police dog squad is not responsible for this, they are all police officers from the criminal investigation team of the branch bureau, and naturally they do not want to see their captain make a mistake in the case.

“Yes,” Han Ling said.

Lin Muyang pointed: "Third floor, personnel department, go there."

"Team Schelling"

Han Ling left and went to the personnel department on the third floor to complete the formalities. After completing the procedures, the head of the personnel department had a brief conversation with him.

First, I expressed my welcome; second, I outlined disciplinary and work-related requirements.

It was past 10 a.m. when the personnel department completed Han Ling's onboarding process and notified the criminal investigation team to pick her up.

A few minutes later, accompanied by footsteps outside the door, Fang Zhou and Tong Feng arrived at the personnel department.

"You didn't even call when you arrived," Tong Feng said.

He was quite looking forward to Han Ling coming to the Criminal Investigation Brigade. Working with his classmate from the police academy was something he found very interesting.

Han Ling smiled and said, "It's close by, I just walked here. I rented a house."

Fangzhou took Han Ling away, telling her to fill out an application form later and that the branch office would take care of the housing issue.

"Tong Feng, you should go back first. Why are you getting involved in this mess?"

After sending Tong Feng away, the two went to the office of the captain of the criminal investigation team.

Feng Yao was there, and Ji Bowen was there too; they had been waiting.

"Alright, let's skip the in-depth conversation and go get your things," Ji Bowei said.

The two came and went quickly. As the door closed, Ji Bowen looked at Feng Yao and said, "Captain Feng, someone more talented has arrived. You should wait two more years before retiring from the front line."

Feng Yao understood Ji Bowei's meaning. A few years ago, the Ark significantly improved the efficiency of case handling. Now, with Han Ling added, he might have more options for his target positions.

"Why are you lingering here? Give the younger generation more opportunities." Feng Yao wasn't very enthusiastic about this. "The First Squadron is short of a deputy squadron leader. Why don't you take a look?"

Ji Bowei hummed in agreement: "I know."

The entire First Squadron is generally excellent, but among the excellent, there are naturally those who are even more outstanding. Currently, only Fang Zhou and Han Ling are clearly the most outstanding.

Based solely on Hou Jiarou's case, it's impossible to directly promote a newly recruited police officer. Han Ling's position remains that of an ordinary police officer, and his rank remains that of a third-level police superintendent. We still need to observe his subsequent performance.

If Han Ling's professional skills remain stable, she should be able to replicate Fang Zhou's promotion path, which is the fastest possible path; it's impossible to go any faster.

Unless Han Ling demonstrates investigative abilities far exceeding current expectations and makes significant contributions.

There are still many variables, so we have to take it one step at a time and see how things go. That's what we need to do.
