"When Zhuo Ying was talking about the case just now, she focused most of her attention on the female accountant, and only mentioned her husband and children a few times. This shows that their criminal investigation team is focusing their investigation on the ticket management department."

Hou Jun nodded: "That's right. The higher-ups have demanded that the case be solved within a limited time, also because they're worried about problems with ticket management. The management department is definitely a key area to monitor."

"Then let's investigate this area too. If their criminal investigation team can't find anything here, let's see how they'll face us then!"

It was obvious that Hou Jun, who had been given the cold shoulder, was also holding a grudge.

Chang Kun had a good attitude and smiled faintly: "Then shall we go and take a look at the management department? They don't like us, but we can't just come here and do nothing."

To find out if a criminal is in the administration section, you just need to go there and take a walk around.

Under this system, criminals have nowhere to hide.

Just as the two were about to get up, the door to the reception room was pushed open, and a middle-aged man and a young policeman walked in.

The middle-aged police officer had greasy hair and dark circles under his eyes; he was clearly someone who stayed up all night.

The young policeman muttered curses under his breath, "Who do they think they are! They invited us here but won't even let us attend the meeting!"

It's obvious that these two were also brought in to sit on the sidelines.

Seeing two other people in the reception room, the middle-aged policeman paused, then looked Chang Kun over carefully: "You...you're here to help too?"

Chang Kun stood up and extended his hand: "Hello, I am Chang Kun from the Railway Public Security Bureau, and this is my senior brother Hou Jun."

"Oh my! It really is Chang Kun!" The middle-aged policeman quickly shook hands with Chang Kun.

"Hello, hello, I am Gao Liangcai from Zhongguan Police Station."

The young policeman quickly stepped forward: "I'm Guan Wu from Wangfu Police Station. Comrade Chang Kun, your name is legendary!"

"You flatter me." Chang Kun was a little embarrassed. He had gone too far by catching more than a hundred thieves the day before yesterday.

Now, wherever I go, people from the public security system recognize me, and I get praised by them, which makes me a little embarrassed.

After exchanging a few pleasantries and sitting down, Guan Wu began to complain again: "They sent us here to help, but now they won't even let us participate in the case analysis meeting. I really don't know what they're trying to do!"

"Hmph! Old Li from the Criminal Investigation Team, I've heard about him before. He's very arrogant. I guess he's unhappy that the higher-ups sent a few of us to this case."

Gao Liangcai explained the reason: it turned out that Captain Li of the Criminal Investigation Brigade had always been the one to make decisions in the team, and his style was also decisive and efficient. He had handled the cases quite well in the past, so he didn't know why he would send people from other units to help this time.

After chatting for a while, Guan Wu asked, "Do you know what case we're here to help with?"

Hou Jun glanced at Chang Kun and said carefully, "I heard it was a case of the murder of a family of three, which involved the Ticket Management Section, so the higher-ups are taking it so seriously."

He briefly explained the situation, and Guan Wu clicked his tongue in disbelief: "This case is difficult! If it's a robbery, they killed a whole family of three; if it's a revenge killing, they ransacked the house! Do you have any leads?"

Hou Jun shrugged: "We just arrived too. They won't even let us participate in case discussion meetings, how are we supposed to get clues!"

Guan Wu pondered for a moment, then his eyes lit up: "Do you think it could be enemy agents doing this, trying to disrupt our ration coupon distribution?"

Enemy agents?

Chang Kun chuckled inwardly. Enemy agents usually operate by lurking and sabotaging in secret. Killing a family of three like this was really unlike the style of enemy agents.

Gao Liangcai stood up lazily: "Alright, stop guessing. We don't know anything right now, so guessing is pointless. Let's just wait for Captain Li's instructions."

This is a true veteran police officer; even when left out, he doesn't lose his composure.

Anyway, the case is just sitting there. If it can't be solved by the deadline, it'll be Captain Li who gets punished.

The four quickly deduced from the case the scene of Chang Kun arresting the thief the day before yesterday, and Hou Jun described it with great enthusiasm.

Just then, the reception room door opened, and a police officer in his fifties walked in: "Everyone's here. Come with me, Captain Li is calling you."

As soon as I stepped out of the reception room, I saw a group of police officers hurrying along the corridor, clearly having just finished a meeting.

Following the old policeman to the office opposite, Captain Li was standing inside with his back to him, staring intently at a small blackboard.

The blackboard had many names and various social connections written on it; these were the basic procedures for investigating a case.

Captain Li was rather stocky, looking like a meaty slab. At this moment, he looked haggard, with a stubble beard and bloodshot eyes.

This team captain doesn't seem to be having an easy time, Chang Kun thought to himself.

Without any pleasantries, Captain Li got straight to the point: "The reason I transferred you here is to help investigate a family annihilation case. Originally, my own criminal investigation team was well-equipped and didn't need you at all."

"But since you were transferred here by the higher-ups, let's do a good job and handle this case perfectly!"

"I won't go into the specifics of the case; you should contact Team Leader Xia directly for more information."

"I only have one thing to say: the higher-ups have ordered a seven-day deadline to solve the case, so I have to try and get five days. There can be no failures here!"

"As for you guys, it's a good thing that you're valued by the higher-ups, but this case is time-sensitive and demanding. Relying on individual abilities is ultimately no match for organized operations. You can investigate however you want, and report any leads you have directly to me."

After saying this, Captain Li immediately ordered them to leave.

He had many tasks to assign and didn't have time to deal with these paratroopers.

This?

Not only Chang Kun, but also Hou Jun, Guan Wu and others were dumbfounded.

What does this mean? Are you just letting these four people run wild?

Without any specific tasks, leaving everyone to do as they please, Captain Li is being far too perfunctory.

With just a few of us, what clues could we possibly find?

I'm afraid even asking the deceased's closest family members wouldn't be enough, as there are only four of them.

Chang Kun turned around and walked straight out. He relied entirely on the system to catch criminals, without having to conduct door-to-door investigations, and had no objection to Captain Li's arrangement.

He was eager to explore on his own, so he planned to take a walk around the ticket management department and then around the deceased's residence to see if he could find any clues about the criminal.

The four of them went outside, where the group leader, surnamed Xia, was already waiting.

After all, they were sent by their superiors to help, so they couldn't be left without even knowing the details of the case.

Team Leader Xia smiled and invited the group into his office, where he recounted the case details once more.

The account was unoriginal, similar to what Zhuo Ying had said before.

"That's the case. You four are all top-notch agents sent from above. I have no authority to interfere with your ideas or the direction you want to investigate..."

There are other tasks to be assigned to the team, so I'm sorry I can't stay with you all.

After saying that, he left in a hurry.

"Holy shit!" Guan Wu couldn't help but swear.

Is this the typical style of the reconnaissance team?

This clearly shows they don't want to deal with them and are excluding them from the reconnaissance operation!
