"It wasn't just Japanese spies; the day before yesterday, under Minister Zheng's orders and Director Huang's leadership, you even raided the Qianmen Railway Station, arresting over a hundred thieves in a single day. That's like setting off a bomb in the public security system!"

"My old comrades have been calling me non-stop these past two days, all wanting to know who you are and how you can catch so many thieves in a single day."

"There are quite a few comrades who want to temporarily transfer you there to help them catch thieves and eliminate pests in their territory!"

Chang Kun was dumbfounded when he heard Zhang Qingfeng say this.

Did I stand out too much and attract the attention of other public security departments, who all wanted my help?

Although I'm willing to help eliminate pests, I don't want to become famous!

Once you become famous, you lose control of many things.

Sure enough, Zhang Qingfeng pointed at Chang Kun: "I've already pushed aside all the other non-urgent matters for you, but this one is truly unavoidable..."

He cleared his throat, his face serious: "Chang Kun, there's a major mission coming up. The Criminal Investigation Division of the Ministry of Public Security has a case that the higher-ups have ordered to be solved within a limited time. Experts from various departments are needed to assist in the investigation. Pack your things and head over there."

Another case. Once the police are involved, there will be no shortage of cases in the future.

"Section Chief, what case is it?"

Zhang Qingfeng glared at him: "Why are you asking so many questions? Don't you have any sense of organization or discipline?"

He looked slightly embarrassed. In fact, he didn't know what the case was; he just heard the higher-ups say it in a serious tone.

"Let me tell you, once you're in the Criminal Investigation Division, just do what you're supposed to do. Don't hold back. Seize any opportunity to make a name for yourself, or you'll regret it later."

Chang Kun secretly pursed his lips, thinking that Section Chief was probably thinking about getting promoted again.

Although he had no interest in this, he meant well and was essentially giving him advice as if he were a nephew.

"Yes, Section Chief!" Chang Kun straightened his back, stood at attention, and saluted Zhang Qingfeng. "I promise I won't bring shame to our unit!"

Zhang Qingfeng waved his hand: "Alright, it's just the two of us here, no need for all this..."

"I know a bit about Captain Li from that criminal investigation team. I heard he's a bit arrogant and looks down on the lower-level police officers. The fact that he was able to send experts from the lower units to help this time is probably a direct arrangement from above."

"Once you're in the Criminal Investigation Division, use all your skills to the fullest. As long as you can catch the criminals, that's what we're all about!"

As he spoke, he gave a thumbs up.

"Section Chief, so you're saying I'm not the only one being deployed this time?"

"You're the only one in our unit, and I bet other units have the same problem. You don't actually think you're the only one who can solve cases and catch thieves, do you?"

Chang Kun chuckled. Anyway, there were no thieves to catch at his workplace; he was just maintaining order at the platform and had nothing to do all day. It wouldn't be bad to catch some criminals elsewhere.

As for whether the criminal investigation captain is arrogant or not, that's none of his business.

When it comes to solving cases and catching criminals, no matter who comes, they all have to bow down and be subservient to the system.

Just as he was about to take his leave, Zhang Qingfeng opened the drawer and took out a large red box and a red certificate.

He held it with both hands and solemnly handed it to Chang Kun.

"This is?"

Chang Kun was stunned for a moment, seeing the red certificate and the bright red box.

He understood something.

"Medals and certificates for catching Japanese spies!"

Wow, the ministry is really efficient. It's only been three or four days since they caught the Japanese spies, and the medals have already been awarded!

It's also possible that he has a powerful uncle who is a minister, which is why the higher-ups acted so quickly.

"A second-class merit award—this is only the second time I've seen this in all these years."

Chang Kun carefully picked up the small box, gently opened it, and the lid opened to reveal the golden medal inside.

A golden foundation, a red shield, and five glittering gold stars embedded in the shield—this small medal filled Chang Kun with excitement.

If I take this medal home, my parents will surely worship it like a precious artifact every day.

This is an unparalleled honor!

Putting everything else aside, this medal alone would be an excellent talisman in the years to come when things get turbulent.

Chang Kun carefully held the medal in his hand and stroked it; this thing was too precious.

"Keep it safe, don't let it get damaged!" Zhang Qingfeng looked on with envy. At that moment, he felt he would be willing to exchange his position as section chief for a second-class merit medal.

"Section Chief, besides this, are there any other rewards?" Chang Kun carefully placed the medal and certificate in his satchel.

"Anything else? What else do you want?"

"Section Chief, we even reward our own unit with watches for catching thieves, but hasn't the higher-ups given us anything in return?"

Although Chang Kun didn't lack these things, the difference between buying them himself and receiving them as a reward from his superiors was significant!

Take the watch on her wrist, for example. Whenever someone asks about it, Liu Meifen proudly says it's an award given to her son by his work unit for his meritorious service.

Once she said that, everyone would look at her with more respect.

"Want something? That's easy!" Zhang Qingfeng took out paper and pen from the drawer and threw them in front of Chang Kun.

"What does Section Chief mean by this?"

"You wanted a reward, right? Write down what you want, and I'll apply for it for you," Zhang Qingfeng said with a smile. "Maybe the higher-ups will give you a big prize!"

Chang Kun pursed his lips and remained silent. Asking for a reward from his superiors? Even someone with no brains wouldn't do something like that!

As we were leaving the section chief's office, Zhang Qingfeng called out from behind, "By the way, when you go to the Criminal Investigation Brigade, you can bring another person along, so they can help you with chores."

Once there, Chang Kun, being a nobody, would have little influence, and solving the case would still require the concerted efforts of his own people.

Chang Kun nodded, giving himself a spot. Although it was a bit small, it was better than nothing.

As for who to bring along, there's no need to consider it at all; the person I'm closest to in the office is Monkey King.

When he returned to his office, he found that the others were no longer there, so he turned around and went to the platform.

Monkey King and Lei Guohong were maintaining order on the platform when Chang Kun smiled, walked over, and explained what had happened.

Monkey King grinned from ear to ear, putting his arm around Chang Kun's neck: "Hehe, I knew my junior brother would think of me when something good happened!"

"Brother Monkey, you won't mind me disturbing your peace and quiet at work, will you?"

Hou Jun shook his head vigorously: "Junior brother, what are you saying? You're helping me improve, how could I be ungrateful?"

progress?

Chang Kun smiled to himself; what he said wasn't wrong.

People these days take promotions and wealth less seriously, but they value advancement opportunities very much.

This trip to help out at the Criminal Investigation Brigade is a good opportunity to give Monkey Brother some credit, since I've already been quite outstanding in the public security system.

Lei Guohong watched the two walk away with envy. He was just too old, and he was also Chang Kun and Hou Jun's master. Otherwise, he would have liked to go along and earn some credit and "make progress".

On their way to the Criminal Investigation Brigade, Chang Kun and Hou Jun had already taken leave from the supply and marketing cooperative and were preparing to go to Zhang Pianxin's house to persuade Zhang Quhun about his marriage.
