The section chief turned pale and hurriedly ran outside to report to his superior.

Hou Jun exclaimed excitedly, "Junior brother, the official seal really is fake! We've found a clue! Hahaha!"

The clue was found by myself and my junior colleague, and the criminal investigation team also came to look for clues but missed the clue that the official seal had been switched.

This will definitely embarrass those criminal investigation team members!

Chang Kun didn't seem particularly happy. They had only discovered that the official seal had been switched, and they hadn't seen a trace of the suspect or the criminal.

If the criminals were truly after the tickets, they would have already forged a massive number of tickets by now, and wouldn't need to come to the Ticket Management Department at all.

This is not good news for him, as it means he cannot find the criminals here through the system.

"Brother Monkey, shall we go back to the Criminal Investigation Division and relay this message?"

"Why should we?" Hou Jun was taken aback. The clues were found by him and Chang Kun, so how could they be given to the Criminal Investigation Team so easily?

How could those people treat him and his junior brother so poorly, yet still provide them with clues? Has his junior brother lost his mind?

"Brother Monkey, just listen to me. We haven't found any trace of the murderer in this unit. The two of us are weak and powerless, and we can't do anything to dig deeper. It's better to let the criminal investigation team find more clues for us."

Hou Jun's eyes lit up: "That's right! With just the two of us, we can't even interview many people. We might as well let the criminal investigation team do the work for us."

"Let's go, let's go back to the Criminal Investigation Team. The clues they couldn't find, we've found right away. I'd like to see how they react."

On the way back to the Criminal Investigation Brigade, Hou Jun kept grinning foolishly.

"Brother Monkey, stop laughing. We're still a long way from solving the case. You're laughing too soon," Chang Kun said with a hint of disdain.

"Hehe, I knew I'd gain something from following my junior brother; it's always the same."

"Brother Monkey, you were the one who came up with this clue first. Who knew their official seal had been switched without them even realizing it?"

"You're the one who reminded me. I only thought the official seal might be lost; I never expected it would be switched."

Chang Kun didn't explain further. The people in the office, including Monkey, were all loyal and righteous.

After leading them to achieve merits several times, I never saw them vying for credit; on the contrary, they benefited a lot from Chang Kun's success.

When the two returned to the Criminal Investigation Brigade and barged into Captain Li's office, Hou Jun deliberately lagged behind, leaving Chang Kun in front.

"Report!"

When the two men burst into Captain Li's office, he was standing in front of a small blackboard, intently staring at the deceased's various social relationships.

Chang Kun's report startled him. Captain Li frowned and stared intently at Chang Kun. In the Criminal Investigation Brigade, even the director and political commissar would greet him before entering his office.

How can these two young people transferred from outside be so rude?!

If he didn't have a legitimate reason, he was prepared to teach the two kids a lesson.

"Why did you come back instead of running around gathering clues!" Captain Li's voice was a little hoarse, and his tone was very impatient.

Chang Kun turned and glanced at Hou Jun, signaling him to speak first.

Hou Jun turned his head away, indicating that he didn't want to take credit for finding the clue.

Left with no other option, Chang Kun reported, "Captain Li, Hou Jun has discovered a new clue."

Hou Jun blinked, feeling a little touched. This junior brother was really good to him.

"A new clue?" Captain Li's brows were still furrowed. "What clue? Why didn't you report to Team Leader Xia first? Why are you coming to me!"

"Reporting to Captain Li, we couldn't find Team Leader Xia. Considering the urgency of the situation, we came directly to you."

Captain Li let out a long sigh: "Alright, tell me, what important clue is it?"

Chang Kun didn't speak again. Instead, he took a step back and pulled Hou Jun from behind him to the front.

Captain Li turned his gaze to Hou Jun's face, his expression still extremely serious.

At this point, Hou Jun had no choice but to bite the bullet and speak.

"Reporting to Captain Li, we discovered that the official seal in the drawer of the deceased accountant Pan's office had been replaced. It is very likely the work of the murderer, who wanted to forge receipts and withdrawal slips."

"The official seal was replaced?" Captain Li patted his head, trying to clear his numb mind.

"The section chief personally confirmed that the official seal had indeed been switched, and he has already reported it to his superiors."

Captain Li then realized what was happening and raised his voice sharply: "What? The official seal has been switched? It must be the work of the murderer!"

He shoved Hou Jun, who was blocking the doorway, and rushed out of the office.

He suddenly stopped, turned around and shouted to Chang Kun and Hou Jun, "You two, come with me to the Ticket Management Section."

After all, the clues were provided by these two. How could we just use them and then discard them? That would be a bit embarrassing.

It's strange that our own team members haven't found any clues in a long time, but these two young guys have discovered new ones instead.

Without waiting for a response from Chang Kun and the other man, he turned and left in a hurry.

Hou Jun pursed his lips at Chang Kun and muttered under his breath, "See? I found a clue and gave it to him, and he still has this attitude."

Chang Kun smiled indifferently. Regardless of Captain Li's attitude towards the two of them, he seemed to take the case very seriously.

It was almost noon, and Hou Jun should have been having lunch at the Criminal Investigation Brigade's canteen, but he also wanted to see what new discoveries the Ticket Management Section might have made.

Chang Kun and his companion also got on their bikes and hurriedly caught up with the team led by Captain Li.

As soon as the group arrived at the Ticket Management Section, Captain Li rushed into the office building without stopping.

"Come on, let's hurry up and catch up."

Hou Jun called out to Chang Kun and followed Captain Li.

Fine, Chang Kun had no hope for this. If there were serious murderers, the system should have sensed it by now.

At this moment, many people in the office building were waiting to collect their receipts, and the noise was deafening.

"What's going on? Why can't we collect our tickets?"

"Exactly! How long have we been waiting!"

"What are these people doing? Everyone's waiting for tickets to get things done, and now everything's been delayed!"

It sounds like the ticket management department has now suspended all ticket collection.

As soon as I arrived at the section chief's office, I heard Captain Li arguing with the section chief inside.

"How could you not let people collect their tickets! If the murderer finds out, isn't that just alerting them?"

"This is an order from our superiors. If we continue to allow people to collect tickets, what if someone uses a fake receipt to take the tickets? Who can bear that responsibility?!"

The section chief's words make sense. Whether it's a bicycle ticket or a sewing machine ticket, losing even one is a big deal. Moreover, how could a murderer who committed such a major crime be satisfied with just one or two tickets?

"Hmph! I'll have people keep an eye on things. Everyone who comes to collect a ticket will have their identity checked. If the murderer dares to come and collect a ticket, he won't escape!"

"No, no!" The section chief shook his head. "What if the ticket is transferred before you've verified the ticket holder's identity? I can't afford the loss. Or are you saying that if the ticket is lost, your criminal investigation team will be responsible?"

"you!!"

Captain Li was so angry that his chest heaved. This ticket management section was directly under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Commerce, and he really couldn't command it.

Hou Jun, listening outside the office, couldn't help but laugh. It's true what they say, the wicked always get their comeuppance.
