A perfect crime? To me, it's full of flaws!

The "Doll-Hidden Corpse Case" in City S was successfully closed, and the special task force was disbanded.

Liu Yuanshan took Qi Feng and Lin Haitang back to the Provincial Public Security Bureau.

The case was solved brilliantly, and everyone in the provincial department benefited. But before the rewards for merit could be distributed, Lin Haitang received a new transfer order.

Grassroots experience.

This is a common practice in the provincial department for cultivating key cadres.

Lin Haitang, carrying her luggage, reported to the criminal investigation detachment of a prefecture-level city.

On the day he left, Qi Feng shamelessly went up to her for a hug, calling it "a comrade's blessing." As a result, Lin Haitang stepped on his military boot with pinpoint accuracy, and he was in so much pain that he hopped on one leg for a long time in the courtyard.

After Lin Haitang left, Qi Feng completely let loose and lived life to the fullest.

Provincial Department Archives.

Sunlight streamed through the blinds and fell on the yellowed files.

Qi Feng pushed two chairs together and lay there like a salted fish that had lost its dreams. A copy of "The 1998 Major Serial Theft Case Files" was covering his face, and he was snoring loudly.

"Snapped!"

A thick file folder landed on Qi Feng's stomach.

Qi Feng sprang to his feet, wiped the drool from the corner of his mouth, and immediately stood at attention and saluted: "Report! Immersive case simulation is underway!"

Liu Yuanshan stood before him, his face dark, pointing at his feet propped up on the table: "Deduction? I think you want to go to the logistics department and shovel manure! How many days has it been? I've been asking you to sort out old cases, and you're here incubating eggs?"

"Master, this isn't my fault." Qi Feng grinned and pulled over a chair for Liu Yuanshan to sit down, handing him a freshly brewed cup of goji berry tea. "This old case is so bad that even the crime scene photos are blurry. No matter how sharp my eyes are, I can't possibly see anything through a twenty-year-old A4 sheet of paper. Besides, there's no commission or bonus, so it wouldn't be worth it for my brain cells to die."

"Are you blinded by greed?" Liu Yuanshan glared angrily, his beard bristling. "With your meager skills, do you really think you're a detective?"

"Of course, I was taught by you." Qi Feng seized the opportunity.

Liu Yuanshan took a deep breath, suppressing the urge to draw his gun. This kid's performance in S City was indeed amazing; his on-site profiling was simply phenomenal. But once back at the provincial headquarters, his lazy nature resurfaced.

"Get out and move around, don't get in my way!" Liu Yuanshan waved his hand.

"Alright!"

Qi Feng felt as if he had been granted a pardon. He grabbed a handful of melon seeds from the table and dashed out of the archives room.

In the following days, the thresholds of all departments in the provincial government were almost worn down by the crowds.

Cyber ​​Security Detachment.

"Oh dear, Sister Li, why are your dark circles so bad again? Here, this is a steam eye mask I had someone buy for you. Put it on and I guarantee your big eyes will be sparkling clean." Qi Feng leaned against the desk, smiling like a trumpet flower.

The policewoman named Xiao Li blushed as she accepted the blindfold: "Thank you, Qi Feng. By the way, about that game account you asked me to check for you last time..."

Shh—keep it down, keep it down.

Forensic Center.

"Sister Wang, how can you use your hands, which are good for holding a scalpel, to make instant noodles? Let me do it! Sausage or egg?" Qi Feng asked solicitously, holding the bowl of instant noodles.

The aloof female forensic doctor in her white coat twitched slightly at the corner of her mouth: "Qi Feng, are you trying to peek at the internal reference materials on my desk again?"

"Look at what you're saying, do you think I'm that kind of person? I was just concerned about my colleague!"

In less than a week, Qi Feng's reputation as the "socialite of the provincial department" spread like wildfire.

From the cafeteria ladies serving food to the newly recruited female police interns, there was no one he couldn't strike up a conversation with.

Liu Yuanshan caught him red-handed several times.

Every time Qi Feng was present, he was sincere, admitted his mistakes very quickly, and pounded his chest loudly to guarantee that he would never do it again.

But as soon as Liu Yuanshan left, he could sneak into the communications department and gossip with the people there.

"I can't handle this little brat anymore." Liu Yuanshan sat in his office, rubbing his throbbing temples. "Out of sight, out of mind!"

Liu Yuanshan has calmed down, but some people are not.

Office of the Deputy Director of the Provincial Public Security Department.

Gong Jianping sat upright behind his large desk.

He was in his fifties, with slightly graying temples, and exuded an air of authority. He was looking down at a document in his hand, his brows slightly furrowed.

At the desk, Secretary Xiao Zhao stood ramrod straight, reporting on the recent progress of the department's ideological and work style improvement efforts.

"...The overall situation is good. However, recently there have been a few individuals who have been rather undisciplined. They frequently visit different departments, which has a negative impact." Xiao Zhao carefully considered his words.

Gong Jianping didn't even look up: "Who?"

"Qi Feng, the apprentice of Director Liu Yuanshan."

Gong Jianping paused as he flipped through the documents.

He raised his head, his eyes sharp.

As one of the top officials in the provincial department, his network of information is better than anyone else's.

He had read the detailed report on the case in City S. He acknowledged Qi Feng's abilities.

But that's not the problem.

The problem lies with Gong Jianping's beloved daughter, Lin Haitang!

Known daughter Moruofu.

Lin Haitang has always been aloof and never showed any courtesy to the talented young men in the industry.

However, during the investigation in S City, according to the news that came back, her daughter seemed to have a slightly different attitude towards Qi Feng.

Even at Li Wen's dinner party, she didn't directly refuse the obvious forced matchmaking.

Gong Jianping originally thought that the young man should be left to his own devices.

The results of it?

His own daughter had just been sent down to the grassroots level to endure hardship and investigate cases, and this kid was already flirting with female police officers all over the provincial department? Today he's delivering milk tea to the communications department, tomorrow he's delivering blindfolds to the forensic department.

He's gone too far!

"Bang!"

Gong Jianping slammed the pen in his hand heavily on the table.

Xiao Zhao was startled and quickly shut up.

"That Qi Feng is outrageous!" Gong Jianping sneered, stood up, walked to the window, and looked down at the courtyard. "Young man, he gets cocky just because he's got some skills. The provincial government is a place for work, not for him to hold tea parties!"

Xiao Zhao tentatively asked, "Director Gong, so you mean... to have Director Liu give them another warning?"

"Old Liu has a temper; he's very protective of his own. Trying to teach him a lesson won't work." Gong Jianping's eyes flickered as he plotted how to teach this arrogant brat a lesson.

The punishment must be carried out, but it cannot appear that one is settling a personal score.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up.

"I remember, isn't the Provincial Police Academy short of a few teaching assistants with rich practical experience recently?" Gong Jianping turned around and asked.

Xiao Zhao nodded: "Yes. The police academy has applied several times, hoping that the department can send some front-line backbone officers to lead the practical training courses. But everyone has a lot of cases on their hands and can't spare any manpower."

"It's him," Gong Jianping decided. "Issue the transfer order, and send Qi Feng to the police academy to serve as a teaching assistant for the tactics and forensic examination course. The term is three months."

Gong Jianping sneered inwardly.

What kind of place is a police academy? It's semi-military! Morning exercises start at six every morning, and lights out at ten at night. The discipline is strict, with countless rules. If you were thrown into that kind of place, let's see how you can still be so undisciplined and flirt with female police officers.

You need to work on your temper!

3 PM.

Qi Feng stood in Liu Yuanshan's office, holding the newly issued transfer order, his face as long as a donkey's.

"Master, this isn't fair!" Qi Feng pointed at the transfer order. "I'm a renowned detective who has made outstanding contributions to solving cases. Not only am I not getting a bonus, but I'm being relegated to a police academy as an assistant instructor? This is exile! This is like discarding a used tool after it's been used!"

Liu Yuanshan took a sip of tea and said slowly, "This was personally approved by Director Gong. He said he values ​​your practical skills and wants you to share your expertise with the younger students. Enough talk, report for duty tomorrow."

"I won't do it without extra pay!"

"Meals and accommodation included."

"Deal." Qi Feng's expression changed swiftly as he stuffed the transfer order into his pocket. "Then, Master, please take care. Your disciple is off to wreak havoc... no, I mean, to educate the next generation."

Watching Qi Feng's retreating figure, Liu Yuanshan shook his head helplessly.

On the other side, in the deputy director's office.

Gong Jianping picked up his teacup, blew on the floating tea leaves, and felt quite relaxed.

"Has the transfer order been issued?"

"It's been sent out, Director Gong. Qi Feng has already gone back to pack his bags and will report to the police academy first thing tomorrow morning," Xiao Zhao reported.

"Yes." Gong Jianping nodded. "We've made arrangements with the police academy to strictly enforce discipline and ensure he doesn't receive any special treatment."

"Understood." Xiao Zhao hesitated for a moment, then couldn't help but speak, "However, Director Gong..."

"What's wrong?"

Xiao Zhao swallowed hard and said cautiously, "You sent Qi Feng to the police academy as an assistant instructor... There are a lot of female second- and third-year students at the police academy now. Those girls have just graduated from high school and don't have much social experience. They admire young policemen like Qi Feng who have just come from the front lines, are handsome, and have a good sense of humor..."

Xiao Zhao paused, then lowered his voice even further: "Your actions... aren't you like a wolf among sheep?"

"puff--!"

Gong Jianping spat out a mouthful of hot tea, splashing it all over the table.

He suddenly widened his eyes and stared intently at Xiao Zhao.

The image of Qi Feng standing on the police academy's training ground, surrounded by a group of beautiful young female students, who kept saying things like "Senior is so handsome" and "Teaching assistant, teach me!" flashed through his mind.

Hastily!

Gong Jianping only thought about the strict discipline at the police academy, forgetting that there were far more female students there than in the provincial department, and none of them were immune to their charms! This wasn't a punishment; it was practically a freebie for the kid!

Just as Gong Jianping was thinking about how to retract his order...

The red secure telephone on the desk suddenly rang sharply and urgently.

"Ring ring ring—!"

This type of phone only rings in the event of a major emergency.

Gong Jianping's expression changed, and without bothering to wipe the tea on the table, he grabbed the microphone.

"I am Gong Jianping."

The voice on the other end of the phone was extremely urgent, accompanied by a noisy background: "Director Gong! This is the H City Public Security Bureau! We encountered armed resistance while attempting to apprehend suspects in the 'June 6.12th Major Case'!"

Gong Jianping frowned: "What is the situation regarding casualties?"

"One officer is seriously injured and has been rushed to the Municipal People's Hospital for emergency treatment." The voice on the other end paused, trembling noticeably. "The injured officer... is Comrade Lin Haitang, who was just assigned to our branch. He suffered two stab wounds and is currently undergoing emergency treatment!"

"Buzz—"

Gong Jianping's mind went blank for a moment, and he almost dropped the red microphone in his hand. His breathing became heavy, and his eyes instantly reddened.

"Do everything you can to save her! I'm coming right away!"

Gong Jianping practically yelled those words, slammed the phone down, grabbed his coat, and rushed outside.

At the same time.

In the provincial government compound, Qi Feng was carrying a backpack and humming an off-key pop song, preparing to report to the police academy.

His phone suddenly vibrated.

It was a WeChat message from Qin'an.

It was just one short line of text.

[Haitang was injured and admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of H City for emergency treatment.]

Qi Feng's humming stopped abruptly.

He then took out his temporary transfer letter, casually handed it to his colleague next to him, and then, to everyone's astonishment, got into his car, floored the accelerator, and sped out of the provincial government compound.
