I'm not a genius detective

Chapter 70 Obtaining Equipment
Fang Zhou led Han Ling to the logistics department, where they received handcuffs, batons, tear gas spray, new police communication devices, walkie-talkies, and brand-new multi-functional police belts.

Among them were a voice recorder, a USB flash drive, a briefcase...

They gave her a lot of things, and Han Ling felt like she had come from the countryside to the city.

Criminal investigators typically wear plainclothes when investigating cases, and these equipment are used individually as needed to deal with different mission scenarios.

Finally, Han Ling received his sidearm.

The Gu'an District Public Security Bureau is equipped with advanced equipment, including Type 92 pistols for its criminal police officers. These pistols have a large magazine capacity, strong firepower, and high aiming accuracy, making them more effective in investigating complex cases.

In principle, personal firearms cannot be carried by individuals and must be kept in the equipment depot, to be retrieved according to procedures when needed.

However, criminal police officers have a special job and often face high-risk missions, so they are more flexible in their use of firearms than police stations.

The most important point: In certain circumstances, you can apply for personal safekeeping.

For example, when carrying out tracking and arrest missions or conducting long-term investigations in remote mountainous areas and rural areas, criminal police officers can carry firearms to deal with uncontrollable situations.

Normally, they still need to be handed over for safekeeping.

Han Ling checked the handgun according to the procedure, registered the information after confirming there were no problems, and handed it back.

Fang Zhou watched Han Ling's movements and said, "You're so familiar with guns, no wonder your accuracy is so high. Do you have any tips? Teach me another day."

Don't tell me it's because of talent, that would be very frustrating.

Marksmanship is very important for criminal police officers; the more accurate the marksmanship, the higher the success rate of certain missions.

Conversely, if your marksmanship is poor, it can be quite dangerous if something happens, posing a danger to yourself and others.

Han Ling laughed: "I have a trick. When you have time, go to the shooting range and I'll tell Brother Zhou about it."

"Oh? Okay, okay." Fang Zhou's eyes lit up. He had only mentioned it casually, but he didn't expect there to be a real trick to it.

Everyone has a different understanding of how to use a gun. Han Ling's ability to fire with high accuracy and speed must mean he has his own method, which is worth learning.

There is always something to learn from others when you walk with them. There is nothing shameful about asking questions of those who are less knowledgeable than yourself.

Besides, the age difference between them isn't that big.

After collecting their equipment, Fang Zhou realized it was about time, so he took Han Ling to the political department to get their new police ID.

The police ID used to say Wanglou Police Station, but now it says Gu'an District Public Security Bureau.

From then on, Han Ling had absolutely no connection with the Wanglou Police Station.

"Come on, let Tong Feng show you around the station," Fang Zhou said. "We have a case today, so there aren't many people here. We'll get to know each other gradually over time."

Han Ling asked curiously, "What case is it?"

Fang Zhou replied, "One case of forced molestation and one case of intentional injury. You'll get used to it after a while. Our First Squadron is usually very busy and rarely has time to rest."

Han Ling said she understood.

Gu'an District has a total of 32 police stations, and its jurisdiction extends all the way to the mountainous towns in the north (administratively under Qingchang City, not the county seat), so the probability of cases occurring there is indeed high.

Even if other squadrons take over some cases, the First Squadron will never be idle.

"Tong Feng! Take Han Ling to her new workstation and help her out if needed. I have other things to do here!" Upon arriving at the First Squadron's case-handling hall, Fang Zhou called out to Tong Feng, "From now on, you two will work together as a new investigation team."

Tong Feng stood up: "Okay!"

With Han Ling included, the First Squadron now has ten people, but no auxiliary police officers; they are all in other squadrons.

The First Squadron is a serious crime squadron, and its work is more unique compared to other squadrons. Most of the cases it investigates are complex and dangerous, requiring high-quality officers. Therefore, the leadership has never assigned auxiliary police officers to it. If there are not enough people, Ji Bowei will directly draw regular police officers from other squadrons.

The quality of officers in the Major Crimes Unit is more important than the quantity.

After Fang Zhou left, Tong Feng led Han Ling to the workstation by the window and said with a smile, "Brother Zhang said he'd give it to you, so he'll give it to you. You're a man of your word, right?"

"Uh." Han Ling looked at the clean table and the green plants on the windowsill, and the fresh air around him. He felt a little embarrassed. "Actually... was this really necessary?"

He recalled that after interrogating Li Hui, a colleague from one of the squadrons did offer to give up his workstation.

I thought it was a joke, but it turned out to be real.

"It's alright, Brother Zhang is a good guy, you'll see once you get to know him," Tong Feng said.

Han Ling nodded slightly, asked for Zhang Ge's full name, and learned that it was Zhang Yandong. Then he went to the table and put down his belongings.

The desktop is simple: a computer, a telephone, and a small filing cabinet.

The drawers have been emptied and are waiting for their new owner to fill them.

"This spider plant..." Han Ling looked at the green plant beside him.

Tong Feng said, "It was given to me by Brother Zhang. He's a master at growing plants. Look how well he's grown the spider plant; it has long, flowing hair like a beautiful woman."

Han Ling was speechless: "If you can't describe it, then don't. Personification can be terrifying sometimes."

To be fair, this spider plant is really good; from a botanical perspective, it's an expert at purifying the air.

The criminal investigation hall is usually a mess, so having a few plants here would be helpful; at least it would make you feel more cheerful.

Subsequently, Tong Feng called his colleagues from the political work and technical teams to change the information and adjust the permissions of Han Ling's public security OA account.

The authority of criminal investigators is definitely different from that of police station officers.

Once the account was set up, everything was fine.

Fangzhou did not assign any tasks before leaving.

"Our Criminal Investigation Brigade has two deputy captains." During their casual conversation, Tong Feng explained to Han Ling, "Captain Ji Bowei oversees fewer squads, but they are all core squads, like the Major Crimes Squad, the Second Squad, and the Criminal Technology Squad..."

Han Ling: "Just say it's the other vice-captain."

“Oh, okay.” Tong Feng brought up another team leader, “Ren Hanpeng, Team Leader Ren. He’s in charge of the anti-gang crime squadron and the squadron in remote areas. He’s often away on business trips, you rarely see him. His personality…”

Han Ling gradually understood that the higher-ups had fully considered individual strengths when selecting the vice-captain.

Ji Bowei has strong investigative abilities, so he is in charge of the Major Crimes Unit and the Criminal Technology Unit, making the best use of his talents.

Ren Hanpeng's investigative abilities are relatively weak, but his command and coordination skills are outstanding. Therefore, he is in charge of more areas of responsibility and can handle cases in multiple areas at the same time very well.

Major cases will still be handled by Ji Bowei.

It was lunchtime, so Tong Feng took Han Ling to the restaurant to meet their classmates Yang Rui and Sun Yujie.

The branch office's canteen charges a fee, but there is a meal allowance.

Yang Rui and Sun Yujie are always quite punctual when it comes to meals. After getting their food, Tong Feng and Han Ling went to the table where the two of them were, so the four of them ended up sharing the table.

"I didn't expect we'd become colleagues so quickly." It was Yang Rui who spoke; after taking off her forensic lab coat, her attire was simple yet sophisticated. "Welcome, welcome."
