CHAPTER 320: CHAPTER 201: INSTRUCTIONS FROM THE CHIEF CAPTAIN

Jiang An listened and nodded firmly.

"Thank you, Mr. Zhang and Mr. He."

"Your teachings will definitely be remembered in my heart."

Then, Mr. Zhang said, "This case is basically resolved."

"Just now, the station police called to say that Tu Shuang is on the train that’s about to arrive."

"Mr. He, arrange for someone to show Jiang An, Wan, and Zhang Yean around here."

Mr. He smiled and said, "No problem, it’s like I get a holiday too, I won’t miss such a good opportunity."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang An said solemnly, "Thank you, Mr. Zhang and Mr. He."

"However, we’ve been out from Jiangcheng for a week now."

"To be honest, we all miss our hometown a bit, especially since Wan’s girlfriend often calls at night."

Wan nodded hurriedly after hearing this.

"Yes, my girlfriend has been urging me several times."

Finally, Jiang An said solemnly, "Mr. Zhang, we have a long future ahead. Next time there’s an opportunity, I’ll specially visit you and Mr. He from Jiangcheng."

Zhang Feng and Mr. He looked at each other.

Zhang Feng said, "Brother Jiang An, you’ve put a lot of effort into this case."

"In every sense, we should do our duty as hosts."

"Even if there’s no sightseeing, a meal at least is doable, right?"

"Let’s go!"

"We heard there’s a local restaurant nearby with good taste, let’s go have a try."

Jiang An nodded.

He said, "We’ll gladly accept your hospitality, making Mr. Zhang and Mr. He spend so much."

Mr. Zhang quickly waved his hand.

"It’s not a big deal."

"Earlier, we spent nearly two months investigating with no breakthroughs or progress."

"But, I didn’t expect, brother Jiang An, that once you all arrived, there would be this kind of immediate effect."

"After all, there were two opinions on the case at first, and I thought each had merit."

"But you clearly pointed out where the two views converge."

"Through this case, I’ve also been summarizing crime-solving techniques myself."

"We must not only inherit but also innovate."

"Sometimes, experience is a good thing."

"But sometimes, experience is a bad thing, often limiting our scope of thinking."

Hearing this, everyone in the hallway fell into thought.

A criminal police officer is not just about fighting and physical confrontations."

"Sometimes, new strategic thinking is also needed."

minutes later, Zhang Feng and his group arrived at the traditional restaurant next to the headquarters.

The antique decor combined with a cozy layout looked very comfortable.

Once everyone was seated, the dishes were served.

Mr. Zhang raised his glass and said solemnly, "Brothers and sisters, everyone worked hard on this case."

"We put in a lot of effort early on for this case."

"In these past two days, even more blood and sweat have been shed for it."

"Here, on behalf of the criminal investigation team, I extend my heartfelt thanks to all the comrades who participated, you worked hard."

"Special thanks to Jiang An and his group who rushed from Jiangcheng."

"They solved a case in Han City and instead of returning to Jiangcheng, they came straight to our criminal investigation team."

"Thus, from them, I see the dedication of criminal police officers."

"This kind of passionate spirit is worth learning from, worth promoting, and worth passing on."

"So, let’s drink this cup together."

"On one hand to celebrate the successful resolution of this case, and on the other, hoping for more opportunities for cooperation and win-win in the future."

"Come on! Cheers."

Instantly, a crisp clink of glasses sounded in the room.

After a few bites of food, Mr. Zhang turned and said, "Brother Jiang An, as the backbone of this case, please propose a toast."

Jiang An looked around, a bit embarrassed.

He said solemnly, "Mr. Zhang, I’m the youngest here, I’m afraid I’m not qualified."

"Haha, ambition does not look to age, nor heroes to their birth."

"Your crime-solving skills far exceed everyone present."

"Even after 30 years in criminal investigations, I must learn from you."

"It’s appropriate for you to propose a toast."

Jiang An looked again at his senior brothers and sisters.

He stood up and said, "Alright then, since Mr. Zhang asked me to make a toast."

"I will respectfully follow the order."

"Today, to be able to get together with all of you and drink this glass of wine, I feel very honored and excited."

"In this case, we fought side by side."

"This also expanded our thinking and increased our abilities."

"In the future, I still look forward to having the opportunity to come to the headquarters again."

"To follow Mr. Zhang and Mr. He and all the seniors, to forge through difficulties and uphold justice on the criminal investigation path."

"To contribute to the peace of the entire Dragon Country."

"Lastly, I wish everyone successful work, good health, and all the best."

With that, everyone raised their glasses again, clinking them together.

After three rounds of drinks and five flavors of dishes, when everyone was full and satisfied, the group left the local restaurant.

Mr. Zhang regarded Jiang An highly.

He and Mr. Zhang sent the three young individuals to the police car.

Beside the police car, Mr. Zhang held Jiang An’s hand.

He said solemnly, "Brother Jiang An, thank you for your hard work."

"I really want to say, in the future, let’s not meet because of cases, but connect privately."

"But this is merely our wish."

"As long as you’re a criminal police officer, cases will occur."

"When that time comes, please continue to support the headquarters’ work as always."

"Together let’s move forward in fighting crime and maintaining social stability."

Jiang An nodded and said firmly, "No matter when or where, I will always heed your call."

"I am your soldier, always ready for your orders."

"Good! Goodbye!"

"Wish brother Jiang An a safe journey."

Then, as everyone watched, Zhang Yean started the car and left.

Watching the car disappear down the street, Mr. Zhang immediately dialed Mr. Ma’s number.

Mr. Zhang!"

"Mr. Ma."

"Long time no see, Mr. Zhang, how come you have time to call me?"

"Haha, Mr. Ma has many elite troops, I’m here to congratulate you."

"Haha! Congratulate for what?"

Zhang Feng said solemnly, "Jiang An just assisted in solving a very difficult case."

"Such outstanding talent is truly gratifying."

Hearing this, Mr. Ma instantly recalled Captain Li Jian mentioning this to him a few days ago.

However, he hadn’t expected Jiang An’s capability to be so strong.

After all, personnel being seconded to the criminal investigation team is common.

Yet, it was the first time Mr. Zhang personally called to praise someone specifically.

Then, he asked, "Mr. Zhang, thank you for your concern."

"Your teams have many excellent fighters, Jiang An immediately corrected the case investigation direction after coming."

"Moreover, with the new strategy, Jiang An provided us with many new ideas."

"This pushed the case-solving process into the fast lane, and within 48 hours, both suspects were apprehended."

In an instant, Mr. Ma on the other end of the phone rose from his chair.

Although Mr. Zhang only said a few words.

He already understood the essence of it.

Even though Jiang An assisted in the case, he was the backbone of its resolution, a great merit,

Then he said, "Thank you for your praise, Mr. Zhang."

"Our Jiangcheng will surely remember Mr. Zhang’s advice, and strive for excellence in talent cultivation and crime fighting."

"Haha, Mr. Ma, well done."

"Talent is the greatest productivity."

After hanging up the phone, Mr. Ma immediately dialed Li Jian’s number.

"Organize the personnel immediately, we’ll go to the highway entrance to await Jiang An’s triumphant return."
