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

Zhao Jianguo maintained a smiling face and a very humble demeanor throughout.

"Director Qin, if you need anything, please call me anytime, then I..."

Zhao Jianguo pointed to the office door, and Qin Chuan replied, "Thank you for your hard work, Director Zhao. Everything is fine. You can go back to your work now."

"Okay, goodbye Director Qin..."

As Zhao Jianguo turned to leave, he thoughtfully closed the door for Qin Chuan.

The moment the door closed, the smile on Zhao Jianguo's face vanished.

He glanced back at the closed door, frowned slightly, and then left.

Qin Chuan, who was inside the room, also lost his smile.

He had already used his Eye of Evil to scan the entire team when the meeting started.

You won't believe it until you see it...

Ping'an County truly deserves its place among the top 100 counties in China in terms of economic strength.

To get a sense of their economic strength, you don't need to look at anything else; just check the assets of the deputy directors of the Ping'an County Public Security Bureau.

At 1:30 p.m., Zhao Jianguo knocked on Qin Chuan's office door.

"Director Qin, Political Commissar Gao is already waiting for you downstairs. Shall we go to the Criminal Investigation Brigade now?"

"Political Commissar Gao has already gone down?"

Qin Chuan feigned surprise and quickly straightened his police uniform: "Let's go!"

In the county bureau compound, Gao Zhiyuan was already beside the car.

"Political Commissar Gao, I'm so sorry to have kept you waiting."

Qin Chuan's smile was sincere. Although Qin Chuan was not very familiar with this Political Commissar Gao Zhiyuan, he was well aware of his crimes.

However, he was one of the fewest members of the leadership team at the Ping'an County Public Security Bureau.

It was just a small amount of money; nothing serious happened to him.

Gao Zhiyuan waved his hand and said, "The original plan was for Lao Jia to announce your appointment in the Criminal Investigation Brigade, but there's a meeting in the county, so I'll go in his place. Director Qin, please don't have any ideas."

Qin Chuan quickly replied, "Political Commissar, you're too kind. I don't have any particular thoughts. I'm new here, so please give me your help."

"Haha, Director Qin, you're too kind. Let's learn from each other. Come on, I'll take you to the Criminal Investigation Team."

This is different from being appointed by the county public security bureau.

As the deputy director, Qin Chuan was just one of the members of the leadership team; the appointment was simply announced at a leadership meeting.

On the criminal investigation team side, it wasn't the leadership team members who had to attend the meeting.

As the head of the criminal investigation team, Qin Chuan's announcement of appointments would definitely be made at a meeting of all staff.

Half an hour later, at the entrance of the Criminal Investigation Brigade building.

Deputy Squadron Leaders Zhang Beihai and Tian Guojun greeted them at the bottom of the steps.

"Political Commissar Gao! You've arrived!"

Zhang Beihai bypassed Qin Chuan, who had just gotten off the bus, and went straight to Gao Zhiyuan. Although he didn't intentionally ignore Qin Chuan, his unhappiness was obvious to everyone.

Gao Zhiyuan nodded: "Let's go to the conference room."

Tian Guojun led the way, and the group filed in.

However, when they arrived at the venue, Gao Zhiyuan's expression changed slightly.

Although Gao Zhiyuan served as the political commissar, he was in charge of logistics and ideological and political work.

However, he was still very clear about the situation of the Criminal Investigation Brigade, a crucial department.

With 200 staff members and 180 auxiliary police officers, the entire criminal investigation brigade has 380 people!

But now, there are fewer than a hundred people sitting in the auditorium on the first floor.

Moreover, they were scattered around, and at a glance, they were either elderly people who did logistics or female police officers who did clerical work.

Half of these people are auxiliary police officers.

What about people?

When the team held a general meeting to appoint a leader, only a quarter of the team members attended.

Gao Zhiyuan glanced at Zhang Beihai and Tian Guojun.

These two... used to fight tooth and nail for the position of brigade leader, but now they've teamed up to bully the newcomers.

But he didn't say anything.

Although the two of them went a bit too far, Gao Zhiyuan knew that they weren't targeting him.

Moreover, Gao Zhiyuan was not happy about Qin Chuan's arrival, as it delayed his friend from making money.

Therefore, he and Jia Tianming have reached a consensus that Zhang Beihai and Tian Guojun can handle the matters concerning the Criminal Investigation Brigade as they see fit.

If Qingchun is capable, he should take charge of the entire criminal investigation team and make both deputy captains respect him.

If you lack ability, then just hold the title and spend your days drinking tea and reading newspapers in the county public security bureau office.

If a case comes up and can't be solved, then go out and take the fall.

We'll be able to send him away sooner or later.

Qin Chuan followed behind Gao Zhiyuan, glanced around the venue, and naturally knew what was going on.

As expected, his arrival was not welcomed.

But it was precisely in this kind of situation that Qin Chuan felt more at ease.

Preventing people from attending the meeting is just a petty tactic.

Qin Chuan's biggest worry was that they would cooperate actively on the surface but secretly sabotage him.

The fact that their discontent is made public shows that these people's methods are not very sophisticated.

Compared to the harmonious and amicable county bureau leadership, they were far inferior.

"Beihai, why are there so few people?"

As expected, Gao Zhiyuan wouldn't let Qin Chuan be dissatisfied with this. He spoke at this moment to let Qin Chuan know that this scene was not arranged by him.

"Political Commissar, the team has too many cases lately, and the bureau is pressing us hard. Everyone is out handling cases. I've called several squad leaders, and they all say the cases are in Kan..."

"Alright, these are your own matters. Report to Deputy Director Qin from now on. Let's have a meeting."

The process is very short.

Gao Zhiyuan read the appointment document from his superiors.

"Comrades Beihai and Guojun, I hope you will continue to work hard, support Deputy Director Qin, and do a good job in the Criminal Investigation Brigade, so as to contribute to the stable development of Ping'an County!"

"Rest assured, Political Commissar, we will definitely obey orders and follow commands to provide support."

"Okay, then I'll be going now. You guys get to know each other and have a chat."
