Official career: From director to secretary, I want to improve myself

"Sit down! Is this your first time in the Public Security Bureau's office?"

Director Lee Kuan Yew looked at Jiang Yuan with a smile, and the two of them sat together on the sofa in the meeting room.

"You performed well today. You didn't embarrass Secretary Mu, nor did you embarrass your master."

"I didn't bring shame to Secretary Zhu." Lee Kuan Yew didn't say this in his heart.

Secretary Zhu, no, Governor Zhu, for some reason, never seemed to explain their relationship to Comrade Jiang Yuan, and he couldn't say it either. It was really difficult to deal with him.

Professor Shen's last disciple is under his command, so he can't be too obvious if he wants to take care of him.

His performance today was very obvious!

However, I also have my own reasons. It is also a good reason to praise comrades who performed well in the meeting.

"Thank you for the compliment, Director. However, my opinions are just parroting what others have said. Those experts are truly amazing, and I'm still far behind. Besides, my professional focus isn't on criminal investigation."

Jiang Yuan remained calm and did not show any pride because of his praise.

Minister Lee Kuan Yew nodded with satisfaction again.

"You're the youngest member of this provincial task force, and while you may not have as much experience as the others, you do have a lot of new ideas. I hope you won't hold back this time and express your opinions. In my decades of police career, this murderer is considered one of the most brutal, calm, and inhumane!"

When Lee Kuan Yew talked about this case, his tone was a little bad.

No matter which city in Handong Province had such a major case, his face would not be good, let alone this incident happened in Jingzhou City. If the murderer was not caught, the entire Handong Province public security system would be ashamed!

"Director, I actually had something to say."

"Oh? What are you talking about?"

"Like I said, the murderer most likely studied abroad or lived abroad for a period of time, but most people don't have that kind of ability. They're either rich, powerful, or both!"

"Moreover, based on the murderer's brutality and meticulousness, even if we find some ordinary people who meet the requirements, I'm afraid they won't be the real murderer."

"We also have to be wary of scapegoats being pushed out!"

"What do you mean?" Li Kuan Yew suddenly became serious. According to Jiang Yuan, this case might not only be difficult to solve, but also difficult to arrest the suspect!

"Hmm! Secretary Mu told us about Xia Liping before. He seems to be the illegitimate son of someone who was previously transferred from the province, right? He was also sent abroad to study. Do you think this murderer is also like that? It's possible!"

"Otherwise, we wouldn't have been unable to find any clues for so long. In this world, no one has ever done anything without leaving any traces, unless someone is helping them to clear away all traces!"

Jiang Yuan's words were not actually a lie. No trace of this case could be found for decades, and the murderer never appeared again after the first attack. It seemed that the target was her alone?

But, this is unlikely!

The only possibility is that there are still people helping the murderer, and after the case is over, the person is taken into custody and prevented from committing crimes again.

"Also, the gun in the murderer's bag. We've been confiscating firearms for so long, but many civil servants still have guns in their hands, and there are also many guns in private collections. However, in Jingzhou City, most of them are probably in the hands of some upper-class people..."

Jiang Yuan didn't say it explicitly, but the meaning was very clear.

"No wonder you said in the meeting that you wanted to coordinate with the garrison to check firearms and investigate your own internal affairs. You were just trying to give me a heads-up!"

Lee Kuan Yew took out a cigarette from his pocket, took out one and started smoking it.

"I know you don't smoke, so I won't give you any. Save one for me, hahaha."

Lee Kuan Yew's face appeared in the cigarette smoke, and his words came out in a calm tone.

"Investigating one of our own is a huge deal! Not only will it affect the outside world's suspicion of our civil servants and the political arena, it will also exacerbate the conflicts between the government and the public. Right now, everyone is working hard to find the murderer. Once an internal investigation begins, it will be a huge blow to the morale of the investigation team. Moreover, it's not just a matter for the Public Security Bureau. The attitude of Jingzhou City is very important. You also have to investigate the garrison, which is even more troublesome!"

"The armed police are easy to deal with. The Political and Legal Affairs Commission and I can both handle it. But as for the garrison, it can only be handled by the Provincial Party Committee or the Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee. We have to ask Governor Zhu or Secretary Zhao for help. It's too big a fuss!"

The provincial party committee secretary also serves as the first political commissar of the provincial military region, so he can issue orders within the Handong Provincial Military Region and can also submit requests to the military region headquarters through the provincial military region.

The military and politics are separated. Except for the provincial party committee, no one else, even the public security and government, can influence the military.

If the Public Security Department really wants to include the garrison in the investigation, it really can only do so through the Provincial Party Committee.

Even the provincial military district is not qualified. The garrison in Jingzhou City is a real elite field force, commanded by the group army and military district headquarters. No one else can get involved!

This is why no one dares to mess with Zhao Ya in Handong Province.

A few years later, it was rumored that a military commander directly dispatched 500 people from the reconnaissance battalion to crack down on gangs and prostitution in a certain place, and the local public security government did not dare to say a word.

The field troops are so arrogant!

Well, of course the main reason is that they are very confident. After all, they are born beautiful and talented!

But when it comes to the Public Security Bureau's turn to investigate, if they have the order from the provincial military district, they might not even be able to enter the camp of the other party's field troops.

"Director, I'm not saying this is the only way. I'm just suggesting a direction. We still have several more areas of investigation to conduct, and we can't rule out the possibility of some success. The entire Jingzhou City is taking action, and I believe we'll uncover something."

"Well! It's enough for you and me to know about this matter. Don't tell others."

"Please rest assured, Director! This is just my guess, I won't tell anyone."

"Alright! It's getting late, so I won't keep you any longer. First, ask someone in the office to take you to the guesthouse to get settled. You'll officially start work tomorrow! The task force will have a meeting tomorrow to divide up the investigation into several areas, but you won't be assigned one, so just wait for my arrangements."

"Yes! I understand!"

Jiang Yuan was not surprised. He was only a deputy director and had very little experience in the criminal investigation system. He was not used to leading the Public Security Bureau to investigate him.

It just so happens that he can also learn from the task force.

He took some time to think about his thesis. It turned out that none of his supervisor's students were below the doctoral level, and Jiang Yuan couldn't embarrass him.

Jiang Yuan saluted and left the director's office.

Lee Kuan Yew watched him walk out, still smoking the cigarette in his hand, not knowing what he was thinking, and then he looked a little dazed.

After a while, the cigarette burned his fingers, which brought him back to his senses. He pressed the cigarette butt, picked up the red phone on the desk and made a call.

"Governor! Yes, it's me. I have something to report to you. Do you have time this evening? I'll come directly to your house."

"Okay! Got it!"
