The crackdown on organized crime began with the arrest of the mother-in-law.

The detective on duty was named Zhang Kai. He joined the county criminal investigation team three years ago after graduating from police academy.

New criminal investigators who join the criminal investigation team must go through three steps.

The first step is serving tea and water; this is a mandatory course for all newly recruited criminal police officers in their first year.

At this point, getting into the scene was out of the question; all the new detectives followed their senior colleagues around, serving tea, water, mopping floors, and cleaning.

Some of the more favored children help get meals or make instant noodles.

Those with slightly better abilities and quicker minds can help organize case files and do some written work.

As for on-site investigation, that's out of the question.

It's not that the older officers are bullying the newcomers, nor is it that the criminal investigation team has too many people to use.

On the contrary, as veteran detectives, they are more eager than anyone else for their newly joined colleagues to take on important responsibilities.

This way, I can make things a little easier.

Whether in the city, county, or province, there is never a sufficient number of people working in criminal investigation.

However, some traditions should not be lost, and some things should not be rushed.

After surviving the first year, I was officially promoted and became a criminal police officer. After that, some experienced officers took me to crime scenes.

However, when they went to the site, they only watched and listened from the sidelines, rather than doing any actual work.

After this year is over, I can do some simple shift work.

Going to the site can also be an opportunity to lend a hand, at least to do some investigative work.

Zhang Kai is currently in this third year stage.

This tradition exists because of lessons learned through blood and tears.

Fifteen years ago, when the criminal investigation team of Zhulin County was handling a murder case, a newly recruited criminal police officer casually touched the doorknob at the scene.

As a result, the only fingerprint left by the murderer was destroyed.

On another occasion, eight years ago, a newly recruited criminal police officer from a neighboring county was thirsty at a murder scene and casually drank some water, resulting in poisoning, and he could not be saved.

The murderer was poisoned.

Also, nine years ago, a newly recruited criminal police officer in a municipal criminal investigation team in a neighboring province accidentally cut his hand while cleaning up a murder weapon, leaving his own blood on it!

With cases like those in front and those behind, the Criminal Investigation Brigade has established such rules based on the lessons learned from these cases.

Of course, there are always exceptions. For example, Qin Chuan became the captain of the criminal investigation team after only three months on the job.

Zhang Kai put down what he was doing, got up and went over, but he did not let his guard down.

A few years ago, the bureau issued a notice about an elderly woman who went to report a crime. She became agitated and stabbed the police officer on duty with a knife she was carrying, almost causing her death.

"Grandpa, did you just say you were going to sue Song Yaozong?"

The old man walked with a faltering gait, his voice flat and lifeless, as if he were dead: "I saw the notice you posted. Song Yaozong has been arrested?"

The old man's name was Yang Guozhong. Despite his hunched back, gray hair, and long beard, he was not old, only in his forties.

"Yes, he's been arrested and is being held here. We're collecting clues about his crimes throughout the county. You just mentioned... your daughter..."

Yang Guozhong was stunned when he heard Zhang Kai's affirmative answer.

He has been suing Song Yaozong for more than a year or two.

It was seven years!

Seven years ago, Yang Guozhong's daughter, who had just graduated from university, returned home to visit her family. However, before she even arrived home, she was snatched away by Song Yaozong at the train station.

When Yang Guozhong saw his daughter again, she was already a lifeless corpse.

Song Yaozong even said to his face, "I killed that person. Go ahead and sue me if you dare. You'll be lucky if you can win."

After that, Yang Guozhong embarked on a long road to recovery.

Over the past seven years, he has gone from being a victim to becoming a key target of attention for the petitioning department.

Because no police came to his aid after he called the police, and when he went to the Public Security Bureau to seek an explanation, no one paid any attention to him, he then went to all the relevant departments to file complaints.

Even when they knew that someone from higher authorities was coming to inspect Zhulin County, they got stuck in traffic on the way.

As for the family, the daughter-in-law has gone mad because of her daughter's death.

He himself has become the grotesque figure he is today.

Yang Guozhong thought he would never have the chance to get justice for his daughter.

Even today, he saw a notice on the street soliciting clues about Song Yaozong's crimes.

Actually, when Yang Guozhong first saw this notice, he thought he was seeing things.

I asked a few passersby and confirmed that it was true!

Song Yaozong has finally been arrested!

However, he had heard before that Song Yaozong would be arrested today and released tomorrow.

Will it work this time...?

But regardless of whether it works or not, Yang Guozhong will not let go of any opportunity, so he came to the Criminal Investigation Brigade.

"Seven years ago, my daughter..."

Zhang Kai quickly made a note of what had happened; this was the first person to report the incident.

"Captain Lu, someone has come to report a crime!"

Upon learning the news, Lu Zhiguo immediately reported it to Qin Chuan.

Upon hearing this, Qin Chuan in the office finally felt relieved.

He was genuinely afraid that Song Yaozong had long held considerable power in Zhulin County, and that no one would dare to sue him, or that no one would believe that the Zhulin County Criminal Police Brigade could handle Song Yaozong.

Although Qin Chuan had a few clues, it would be even better if the other party could come.

"What's the name of the person who came?"
