I make a living solving crimes.

"I'm really sorry to bother you all so late at night." Chang Wei walked into the cafeteria of the County Public Security Bureau with a smile.

clap clap.

The leader of the county party committee took the lead, and then more than a dozen people present stood up and applauded loudly.

Although it is normal to spend every night drinking after reaching a certain position in the system, in fact most people do not like socializing.

Socializing in the workplace and socializing with friends are two different things.

Especially when entertaining superiors.

What is even more painful than this is entertaining officials from Beijing.

Because these people can't help me, but if I neglect them even a little, they only need a report, or sometimes even just a sentence, to waste my ten years of hard work.

Therefore, even though they were unwilling, they still did not dare to be negligent.

This time they met again in the cafeteria of the county bureau. The lights were on, which was more profound than the hasty meeting just now under the dim lights at the gate of the compound. Chang Wei left a deeper impression on them.

The leader of the Dragon Team, who is feared by the office and the province, is surprisingly young. If you look closely, you can even see the fine hairs on the corners of his lips.

I can only sigh in my heart that having a good father and being born into a good family are more important than working hard.

"Team Leader Chang is dedicated to the public and is still worrying about the case so late at night. We should really learn from him." The leader of the county party committee took the initiative to walk to the door to greet him, and gestured with his hand: "Team Leader Chang, please take a seat."

Chang Wei was being humble, but when he saw that everyone was standing and unwilling to sit down, he stopped being polite.

It was already past eleven o'clock in the evening. If we continued to be polite, it would probably be dawn by the time we finished our meal.

The leader of the county party committee led him to the center seat at the top and even enthusiastically helped pull out the chair, like a little follower.

Chang Wei did not enjoy such treatment, or rather, after having seen the world in the capital, he was even a little annoyed when he encountered such scenes again.

But he remained polite in public.

The Chinese New Year had just passed, and someone gave up their rest to accompany him for supper. No matter what the reason was, he had to deal with it.

The county party committee leader sat on his left, and on his right was Director Su of the County Public Security Bureau, who had a gloomy face and did not say a word throughout the whole process.

It is easy for police officers to find topics to talk about when they sit together. When they really don't know what to talk about, they can find a case they have handled before. This allows them to show off their achievements and study techniques.

But Director Su just didn't say a word, and even when he offered a toast, he only stood up reluctantly after being urged by the county party committee leaders.

It was not until the banquet was almost over that Director Su took the initiative to hold up the wine glass and said, "I wonder if Team Leader Chang has any opinions on the case after going to the morgue just now. If you raise them, the police officers of the county bureau will follow your instructions."

Chang Wei looked at him doubtfully and shook his head gently. "It's too early to express any opinions since we haven't even figured out the cause of death yet. The comrades in the county bureau are very meticulous and professional in their work."

"Team Leader Chang is from the capital. I heard that he has solved many major cases. He must have some unique insights, right?"

"The chief said that without investigation, there is no right to speak. I don't have any information at the moment, so I can't say anything."

Director Su looked at him and saw that he looked sincere. He nodded slightly and spoke more politely. "Team Leader Chang is an expert from Beijing. If you have any opinions, please feel free to raise them. We will definitely cooperate actively."

"Okay." Chang Wei nodded calmly, raised his glass, clinked it lightly, and drank it all in one gulp.

......

Because Chang Wei refused to drink more, and everyone could see that he was not very interested in the roasted whole lamb, the meal finally ended before one o'clock in the morning.

After staying in the County Party Committee Guesthouse, Chang Wei asked curiously, "Where is Wang Cuiping? I don't think I saw her since I came out of the cafeteria."

Zhang Long said: "She lives in the guesthouse of the county bureau."

Seeing his puzzled look, he explained: "She is not qualified to live here."

A county party committee guesthouse actually has to have a certain level...

Chang Wei didn't know what to say.

When Wang Cuiping was in Tianjin, she drove a car and lived in a two-story duplex. She usually interacted with noble ladies.

But this woman willingly returned to the countryside, raised her children alone, and waited for her husband to come back.

Seeing Chang Wei was silent, Fan Tuan'er looked at Zhang Long and said, "I live in a double room. Go find out where she lives and ask her to come live with you. If she refuses to come, just say I asked her to come and talk to me."

The county party committee's guesthouse is just like this. I'm afraid the county bureau's guesthouse is full of dorm beds.

She could see that Chang Wei had an unusual respect for Wang Cuiping, and she herself also liked that carefree and straightforward elder sister.

After hearing this, Zhang Long immediately went out to look for someone.

Because of the transfer to the Investigation Bureau, he hesitated and did not follow Chang Wei's footsteps. He was thinking about how to make up for it.

It is more effective to curry favor with Fan Tuaner than to curry favor with Chang Wei directly.

The county town was a very small place, and within half an hour, Zhang Long went to pick up Wang Cuiping personally.

"It doesn't matter where you sleep, Officer Chang, you're too polite."

Fan Tuan'er held her back and said with a smile, "The main reason is that I want to find someone to talk to."

Wang Cuiping just grinned.

Chang Wei made her a cup of tea and said politely, "I've delayed you in the county town. Is your child at home all right?"

"He's ten years old. It's okay. Besides, the old secretary and the others will take care of him." Wang Cuiping smiled nonchalantly and continued, "Cadre Chang is too polite. We are troubling you."

Chang Wei shook his head and said no more polite words. He asked, "Do you know Director Su of the County Bureau?"

Wang Cuiping held the teacup, lowered her head and thought silently for a while, "I have never met Director Su, but he has a good reputation as an official. He came from the army, is resolute in his work, and is very honest."

Chang Wei nodded, looked at Fan Tuan'er and said, "We chatted over the wine table before, and he seemed to have a problem with us interfering in the case."

Director Su was sitting next to Chang Wei, and Fan Tuaner certainly would not ignore him. She also noticed Director Su's indifference.

She could tell from Wang Cuiping's words that he came from a military background, was decisive and resolute, and probably had a somewhat overbearing personality.

Unexpectedly, Wang Cuiping shook her head and said, "I heard some words when I first went to the County Bureau Guesthouse. I don't know whether I should say it or not."

Everyone laughed, and Chang Wei said, "Since you've said so, just say it."

"Director Su shouldn't have any objections to you." Wang Cuiping carefully chose her words and explained, "I heard that the province has issued an order to him to solve the case within three days."

Deadline to solve the case...

Chang Wei has come into contact with this word many times since he entered the public security system.

But the time given this time was a little too short.

A case with no clues at the moment, only three days...

It seems that my intervention has put pressure on the other party.

No wonder Director Su has such an attitude.
