I Sent You to Take the College Entrance Exam, and You Ended Up Solving a Murder Case?! - Chapter 10

After the two sat down, Wu Xiubing got straight to the point.

“I’ve reviewed your file. It’s excellent, truly outstanding.”

“Especially the serial murder case that Jinghua helped solve.”

“Old Li from Jinghua talked to me on the phone for more than half an hour, praising you to the skies.”

Chen Mo said modestly, “I was just lucky and happened to find some clues.”

“Luck is also a part of strength.”

Wu Xiubing waved his hand, “Young people are capable, humble, and not arrogant, very good.”

He changed the subject, his expression becoming more serious.

“However, criminal investigation work is like walking on thin ice.”

“Never let your guard down, no matter how small the detail.”

“They could all be related to a life, or the survival of a family.”

“You must always keep this in mind.”

“Yes, I understand,” Chen Mo said seriously.

“Good that you understand.”

Wu Xiubing nodded, took out a gun license and a brown paper document bag from the drawer, and placed them on the coffee table.

“This is your gun license.”

“And this is the car the bureau assigned to you, to make it easier for you to handle cases.”

Company car?

Chen Mo’s heart skipped a beat.

He opened the file bag, and inside was a BMW car key and the corresponding vehicle registration certificate.

This is quite a gesture…

“This car is an official vehicle. When you are transferred or retire, you will need to return it to the bureau.”

Wu Xiubing offered an explanation.

“Thank you, Director Wu, this is too much.”

“Investigating cases is the priority, and efficiency comes first.”

“The Fifth Squadron that you will soon lead is the sharpest weapon in our Major Crimes Unit.”

“Several people in the team have been approved to carry a sidearm.”

“As the team leader, you can’t possibly take a taxi every time you go out, can you?”

Wu Xiubing’s words contained a wealth of information.

How many people in a company can carry a gun?

This shows that the cases faced by the Fifth Squadron are extremely dangerous, and the team members are absolutely the elite of the elite.

Chen Mo instantly felt a heavy pressure on his shoulders.

He stood up and saluted again.

“Please rest assured, Director, I will definitely do my job well and live up to the trust placed in me by the organization!”

Wu Xiubing nodded in satisfaction.

“Go on, report to the Criminal Investigation Department, get your gun, and get to work.”

Chen Mo left the director’s office with his gun license and a file bag containing his car keys.

As soon as I left the director’s office, Li Qiang, who had led the way, was still waiting outside.

Upon seeing Chen Mo emerge, he immediately came to greet him with a smile.

“Captain Chen, has Director Wu finished talking with you?”

Chen Mo nodded.

The change in this terminology is quite subtle.

The change from “Comrade Chen Mo” to “Team Leader Chen” indicates that Director Wu’s appointment has been communicated in some way.

“Thank you for your help, Officer Li,” Chen Mo said politely.

“No trouble at all, no trouble at all.” Li Qiang waved his hand repeatedly. “I’ll take you to the Criminal Investigation Department.”

The Criminal Investigation Department building is located on the other side of the Municipal Public Security Bureau compound; it is a standalone seven-story building.

“My mission is complete, Captain Chen.”

The second-level police superintendent escorted Chen Mo to the building entrance and saluted.

“After you go in, just go to the seventh floor and report to Director Liu.”

Thank you.

Chen Mo returned the greeting and watched the other person leave before turning and walking towards the Criminal Investigation Department building.

“Hello, please show your identification.” The auxiliary police officer at the door stopped him.

Chen Mo took out his police ID and handed it over.

The auxiliary police officer swiped the machine and saw the information that popped up on the screen.

His hand movements paused noticeably, then he immediately stood up straight and handed the documents back with both hands.

“Hello, Captain Chen!”

The way he called out “Team Leader Chen” was full of energy.

Chen Mo took back his identification, nodded, and stepped into the hall.

Take the elevator directly to the seventh floor.

The director’s office is at the end of the corridor.

He straightened his police uniform and raised his hand to knock on the door.

“Knock knock knock”.

“Come in.”

His voice sounded younger than Wu Xiubing’s, but equally composed.

Chen Mo pushed open the door and immediately saw the person behind the desk.

The man was about forty years old and was examining himself.

Liu Chengpei, Director of the Criminal Investigation Department of the Shucheng City Public Security Bureau.

The photos and information in the file instantly flashed through Chen Mo’s mind.

“Reporting to Director Liu, Chen Mo, captain of the Fifth Investigation Team, is reporting for duty!”

Chen Mo stood at attention and saluted, his movements clean and efficient.

Liu Chengpei stood up, walked over quickly, a smile on his face, and returned the greeting.

“Welcome, welcome! We’ve been waiting for you, kid.”

He took the initiative to extend his hand and gave it a firm shake.

His palms were large and rough, covered with calluses, and his handshake was very strong.

This is a veteran criminal investigator.

Chen Mo immediately made a judgment in his mind.

“Sit down, sit down and talk.”

Liu Chengpei pointed to the sofa next to him and sat down there himself.

“Has Director Wu already spoken with you?”

“Yes, Director Wu has already assigned the task.”

“That’s good.”

Liu Chengpei nodded.

“How’s the accommodation problem? The bureau can provide dormitories. You’ve just arrived, so if you don’t have a place to stay…”

“Thank you for your concern, Director. I have a house in Shucheng, which is already renovated and ready to move in at any time,” Chen Mo replied.

Upon hearing this, Liu Chengpei glanced at him with some surprise.

“Oh? That’s great, it saves a lot of trouble.”

He didn’t ask any further questions, assuming that Chen Mo came from a well-off family.

“Let me tell you about the situation in the team.”

Liu Chengpei’s expression turned serious.

“You are now the captain of the Fifth Investigation Team. The Fifth Team is the elite force of our Criminal Investigation Department, specializing in tackling tough challenges.”

“Currently, most of the team’s personnel are led by Vice Captain Wu Che.”

“Going to investigate a case.”

“There are only three people left in the team now. Guan Yuexing, Yan Guangxiu, and Zhan Chi.”

Chen Mo listened quietly.

Before he arrived, he had already read through the files of all the members of the five teams and memorized them.

“There are few people, but a lot of things to do.”

Liu Chengpei sighed.

“Your arrival is just in time to help carry on the burden.”

“Let me tell you, everyone in Team Five is a troublemaker, but they are all top-notch in their skills.”

Whether you can gain their respect depends on your own abilities.

“I understand,” Chen Mo said seriously.

“Okay, come with me, I’ll take you to the team to meet everyone.”

Liu Chengpei stood up and led Chen Mo downstairs.

The investigation department’s offices are on the fourth floor.

As soon as you step out of the elevator, you’ll find yourself in a large open-plan office area.

Dozens of workstations were crammed together, files were piled up like mountains, and the sounds of keyboards clicking and telephones ringing were constant.

Liu Chengpei led Chen Mo through the maze-like workstations with practiced ease, arriving at the innermost corner.

This area is noticeably more spacious than the outside, with a separate section marked “Fifth Investigation Team” on the door.

Inside the office, three young men in plainclothes were discussing something around a tactical whiteboard.

One of them had an unlit cigarette dangling from his mouth.

Upon seeing Liu Chengpei and Chen Mo enter, the three immediately stopped their discussion and stood up straight.

“Director!”

Let me introduce you.

Liu Chengpei turned to the side and pointed at Chen Mo.

“This is Chen Mo, who will be the new captain of your fifth team from today onwards.”

After saying that, he introduced Chen Mo to the three people who stayed behind: “These three are the people I told you about.”

He pointed to a tall young man with a buzz cut: “Guan Yuexing, a master of grappling and fighting.”

He then pointed to a somewhat refined-looking young man: “Yan Guangxu, a computer genius, the team’s technical expert.”

Finally, he pointed to the young man with a cigarette in his mouth and a slightly unruly demeanor.

“Zhan Chi, a trace evidence expert, is nicknamed ‘Dog Nose’.”

“Hello, Captain Chen!”

The three men saluted in unison, their eyes filled with scrutiny.

The new captain in front of me looks way too young.

“Okay, I’ve delivered the person to you.”

Liu Chengpei patted Chen Mo on the shoulder.

“You should familiarize yourself with the environment first, chat with them, and then go collect your equipment.”

“Look at the pile of files. We don’t need to officially start work today; we can come back tomorrow.”

“Thank you, Director.”

Liu Chengpei nodded, turned and left, leaving the space to Chen Mo and his new subordinates.
