Detective: I, Cao Jianjun, started by arresting my brother-in-law.

Cao Jianjun made a shushing gesture and shook his head: "My wife just fell asleep."

"It's nothing, we just came to let you know."

He Yong didn't go in either, pointing to his wristwatch and saying, "Director Zhao from the Personnel Department of the Provincial Department is looking for you. He'll be here soon."

"Director Zhao?"

Cao Jianjun was stunned: "This is..."

"Um……"

Before Cao Jianjun could finish speaking, He Yong and Li Chengyang both nodded with smiles.

The meaning is self-evident: the director of the personnel department came in person to hear Cao Jianjun's personal opinion before making further personnel arrangements for him.

"Okay! Wait for me a moment, I'll go pack up."

Since he was meeting with a leader, Cao Jianjun's police uniform was not suitable.

He turned back into his room, put his medal-covered coat back on, donned his peaked cap, and straightened his collar and epaulettes in front of the mirror.

Li Chengyang and He Yong looked at each other and smiled as they stood at the door.

"Slut!"

"Got it!"

After getting ready, Cao Jianjun turned and followed the two men.

Although it was the director of the personnel department who came to see him, it wasn't just one person; all the important leaders of the personnel department of the Shandong Provincial Department of Human Resources and Social Security came.

Moreover, Cao Jianjun was not the only one being questioned and interviewed.

At this commendation ceremony, more than a dozen local police officers from eastern Shandong were also commended.

Therefore, in order to demonstrate humanitarianism and respect for heroes and role models, the personnel department personally came to the hotel for a private conversation.

When it was Cao Jianjun's turn, he was the last one again.

It was already dark outside. He Yong opened the door to the room, and a middle-aged man, who looked to be over fifty, led three or five men and women in.

"Director Zhao, hello..."

He Yong saluted first, then shook hands.

"He Yong, Cheng Yang, you're both here."

The leader, addressed as Director Zhao, entered with a smile. Upon seeing Cao Jianjun, he raised his hand in salute and then shook hands with him.

"Hello, Comrade Jianjun."

"Director Zhao, hello."

"Haha, you're a hero and a role model in eastern Shandong now."

Director Zhao patted Cao Jianjun on the shoulder without any airs: "Don't be nervous. I'm here on behalf of the organization to ask for your personal thoughts."

"clear."

Cao Jianjun smiled.

The leaders took their seats one after another. Li Chengyang poured tea and served water, and Cao Jianjun and He Yong sat down with them. The room had become like a temporary meeting room.

"Comrade Jianjun, to be honest, we old comrades started working on your personnel arrangements before the New Year."

Director Zhao leaned back on the single sofa, turned slightly, and crossed his legs.

"If we could have arranged your next steps back then, things would have been much easier."

"However, after you were selected by the department to participate in the ice-breaking operation, it made things very difficult for us."

"I think you've heard that you're highly sought after by various systems right now, and they're all vying for you."

Cao Jianjun smiled modestly and nodded: "I've heard some of it."

"See, isn't that right..."

Director Zhao slapped his thigh and pointed a finger: "Then tell me your thoughts? I see He Yong and Cheng Yang are both here, do they also want to recruit you to the Criminal Investigation Brigade?"

He Yong was rather shy, so he smiled sheepishly.

Li Chengyang disregarded everything else: "Director Zhao, you know, we worked with Jianjun at Green Vine, so... we had a good working relationship."

"Hey... Li Chengyang, we've heard that kind of thing too many times."

Director Zhao glared at him and said, "Li Weimin said exactly the same thing to you last night, and Director Su of the National Narcotics Control Bureau also said that Comrade Jianjun is a chosen one in the fight against drugs."

"Look, these two are my superiors according to their rank, so I can only let Director Hu deal with them."

"In short, Comrade Jianjun, we in Ludong are reluctant to let go..."

"So, Comrade Jianjun, if you want to stay in the province, just say the word."

This is already clear: the personnel department's statement represents the highest authority.

Cao Jianjun scratched his head somewhat awkwardly, looked left at He Yong, then right at Li Chengyang, and smiled.

"He Yong, Cheng Yang, I'm so sorry..."

"..."

Their smiles froze instantly.

"Hahaha……"

This subtle expression caught the attention of several leaders in the personnel department of the provincial government, and they couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"See? Comrade Jianjun doesn't want to go to the Criminal Investigation Brigade."

"Comrade Jianjun, just tell me, where do you want to go..."

There was absolutely no tension in the conversation; it was all like joking around.

"Changfeng Detachment".

After Cao Jianjun uttered four words in a calm voice, everyone was stunned.

It's worth noting that Cao Jianjun's police rank, although only a third-level police inspector, doesn't seem like a significant demotion for him to go to the district-level Changfeng branch.

However, he now has the buff of being a rising star in the police force, plus seven medals on his chest.

Logically, such a person would want to work in a provincial department or a ministry.

No one wants to stay at the grassroots level anymore; it's too tough and tiring.

Especially in the Changfeng branch, when handling criminal investigation cases, they have to personally do a lot of the dirty and hard work.

The provincial criminal investigation team is different.

Generally, these are major cases that cannot be handled by other parts of the province, and are handled by the provincial criminal investigation team or a temporary task force is established.

This is a typical case of a provincial-level imperial envoy.

"Hey, Jianjun..."

While the leaders in the personnel department were still completely bewildered, Li Chengyang couldn't sit still any longer.

"Jianjun, stop acting crazy! Changfeng Detachment, do you even know what the Changfeng Detachment does?"

"know."

Cao Jianjun nodded with a serious smile, then took out his phone, found the news about the murder of Wu Zheng's family of five, and presented it to the leaders.

"I want to investigate this case..."

"I don't think Guan Hongyu, who is wanted by the police, is the murderer. This whole thing seems like a setup within a setup!"

See this.

The leaders fell silent.

He Yong and Li Chengyang exchanged a glance, then stood up and leaned closer.

The provincial leaders and police officers in almost all cities and towns across the province knew about the February 2.13th massacre.

Wu Zheng was an undercover police officer who, while investigating an arms sales case, discovered that high-ranking police officials were involved in the arms trafficking.

Just as they were investigating this point, Wu Zheng was murdered.

Moreover, it happened on Lunar New Year's Eve, when the entire family of five was brutally murdered.

"Comrade Jianjun, what are your thoughts on this case?"

The person from the personnel department looked serious, closed his notebook, and sat up straight.

"Just my humble opinion."

Cao Jianjun smiled modestly and looked at everyone.

"The person who killed Wu Zheng was an acquaintance, and... a policeman."

"..."

Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned and their eyes widened in disbelief.

"Jianjun, you can't say things like that carelessly."

Li Chengyang felt his blood rush to his head and patted Cao Jianjun on the shoulder, saying, "The leader is here."
