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

Zhou Xuexi and Zou Mingyi felt no discomfort at the sight of the dead man's head.

There is only astonishment at Qin Chuan's phenomenal crime-solving abilities!

Both Zhou Xuexi and Zou Mingyi are in their forties.

To be able to rise to the same position as the two of them at this age, and to hold real power in the public security, procuratorial and judicial system.

Both of them have come a long way, basking in the glow of their achievements.

When Zhou Xuexi was promoted to director of the county public security bureau, he was the youngest county public security bureau director in the entire Xing'an City.

When Zou Mingyi was promoted to deputy county head, he was the youngest deputy division-level cadre in the city.

Putting aside their backgrounds, both of them are outstanding in terms of work ability.

But compared to Qin Chuan...

"My grass!"

Next to enter the room were three company commanders.

Lu Zhiguo shouted in a high-pitched, vulgar voice, "Captain Qin! You're really something!"

Of the three squadron leaders, Lu Zhiguo is the youngest and most energetic.

He was very proactive in handling this case.

Although Sun Haomin and Dong Houde behind them didn't shout out, anyone could see the shock on their faces.

After that, the case became simple.

The man was brought under control, and a thorough search of the room was then conducted.

A hacksaw that hadn't been dealt with was found in the kitchen.

There was also a bloodstained dagger.

The washing machine contained the bloodstained clothes the murderer wore when he committed the crime. Although they had been washed, the bloodstains were still clearly visible.

"Take the person back."

Downstairs, Zhou Xuexi stood ramrod straight.

"Qin Chuan, excellent!"

"I'll go with Secretary Zou to report to County Chief Chen and Secretary Gao right now."

"Haha, Secretary Gao gave you three days to solve the case, but you didn't even use a single day!"

"Good good!"

Zhou Xuexi was genuinely happy this time.

It wasn't just because the case was solved smoothly.

It's also because of his own judgment in selecting and employing people.

"Secretary Zou, let's go! The Criminal Investigation Brigade's collective second-class merit award depends on you!"

Zou Mingyi: "..."

Collective Second-Class Merit Award!

Is it something you can just take away whenever you want?

But now, he's being asked to take back what he just said in front of dozens of police officers.

He could never do that.

What does an official want? Isn't it just a facade?

However, it's not impossible.

When Zou Mingyi arrived, the county was indeed holding an investment promotion symposium.

Five days later, Xing'an City held an investment promotion conference in Zhulin County, which is also true.

If this case isn't solved, it won't necessarily affect the conference in the long run.

But now that it's broken, it's even better.

The investment promotion conference was both a bargaining chip he used to pressure Qin Chuan and others.

It was also his leverage in applying for a collective second-class merit award from the municipal bureau.

There is no absolute right or wrong in anything.

The key is how you say it.

Zhou Xuexi and Zou Mingyi left, but Qin Chuan couldn't leave.

Although the suspect has been apprehended, the scene still needs to be cleared.

The body needs to be transported.

The chain of evidence needs to be improved.

The criminal investigation team, consisting of dozens of people, worked until midnight before finally finishing their task.

"Captain Qin, there's something I've been wondering about."

Of the three squadron leaders, Lu Zhiguo was completely convinced by Qin Chuan.

For the leaders of the Criminal Investigation Brigade to secure their positions, the method is quite simple.

Solve the case!

If you can lead everyone to solve the case, you're awesome, and everyone will respect you.

"You said."

Although somewhat tired, Qin Chuan was in a good mood.

My first day in office was very meaningful.

In fact, Qin Chuan had heard of this case in his previous life.

The case was solved at that time, but that was a year later.

After all, who would have thought that a wife would kill her husband in someone else's house and then keep his head frozen in her own refrigerator?

It is said that the refrigerator was accidentally dropped by the movers when the female homeowner of apartment 302 was moving.

The head fell out.

That's how the case was solved.

"Captain Qin, I understand that you determined the female homeowner in apartment 302 was the murderer based on the footprints."

"But...how did you know she put her head on the last shelf of the refrigerator?"

This question?

Sun Haomin and Dong Houde, who were standing nearby, also thought of it.

However, neither of them dared to ask.

Now Lu Zhiguo has asked the question.

Both of them perked up their ears.

"That's easy. Most refrigerators nowadays have two doors, with the top for refrigeration and the bottom for freezing."

"The victim was rather fat and had a relatively large head."

"In the freezer compartment, the other freezer compartments are too big to fit in. Only the bottom layer is relatively high because there is a refrigeration unit behind it."

"The murderer would naturally put the head on the last layer."

Lu Zhiguo...

Sun Haomin...

Dong Houde...

That evening, Deputy Squadron Leader Cao Tianrun treated everyone to dinner.

One reason was to welcome Qin Chuan back.

On the other hand, it was to celebrate Qin Chuan's successful cracking of a major case shortly after taking office.

"Captain Qin, I'd like to propose a toast to you!"

Cao Tianrun took the initiative to toast Qin Chuan.

Cao Tianrun did not go to the scene today for two reasons.

First, he was dissatisfied with Qin Chuan's sudden appointment to the criminal investigation team, which took his position.

Since he wasn't on-site, and Qin Chuan was new to the area and hadn't even gotten to know everyone, his command naturally wouldn't be smooth.

In investigating murder cases, if command and control are not smooth, information cannot flow smoothly.

Without access to information, leaders are unlikely to make the right judgments.

Since you, Qin Chuan, have the ability to parachute in, then show your true abilities and solve the case.

The second reason is that Cao Tianrun didn't want to get involved in the mess.

Homicide cases have always been notoriously difficult to solve.

Cao Tianrun's decision to stay home was also a prudent way of protecting himself.

In that case, Qin Chuan won't be able to solve the case, and Zhou Xuexi will definitely make him take the lead in solving it.

If he solves a case when it's his turn, it's because of his own ability.

The case wasn't solved because Qin Chuan missed the best opportunity to solve it.

Both sides are advantageous to oneself.

But to his utter surprise, Qin Chuan actually took a whole day...

No, the case was solved in just one hour.

They even used a bet to get Zou Mingyi to try and win a collective second-class merit!

That was a collective second-class merit, a merit that the Zhulin County Criminal Police Brigade had never received since its establishment.

Putting everything else aside, the 20,000 yuan reward is a real and tangible benefit.

This is equivalent to Qin Chuan giving everyone money as soon as he took office.

"Captain Qin, you solved this case brilliantly today!"

“I, Lao Cao, am a straightforward person. Since Song Hui was arrested, I could theoretically take over his position.”

"But I didn't expect that you would be parachuted down from above."

"I didn't go to the event today, which made me a burden to you."

"But don't worry, Captain Qin. I, Lao Cao, have been a criminal investigator my whole life, and I only admire people with real skills."

"You solved a murder case in an hour, I admire you!"

"Don't worry, from now on, you'll be in charge of the Criminal Investigation Division. I'll work for you from now on!"

"Consider this a toast as my apology. I'll drink it all!"

Hey!

Cao Tianrun downed the two-ounce glass of baijiu in one gulp.

Qin Chuan took one look and realized that regardless of whether what the other person said was true or false, the drinking was definitely real.

"Captain Cao is a straightforward guy. After drinking this wine, we're brothers in the same trench."

"I did it too!"

Hey!

He downed two ounces of baijiu in one gulp, leaving Lu Zhiguo and the other two dumbfounded.
