Xiaoli Village.

Located in the south of Hua'an City, it houses more than forty households.

With the village party secretary leading the way, the group stopped in front of a low, single-story house.

On both sides are self-built villas in the countryside, and this bungalow in the middle looks much more dilapidated in comparison.

Zhao Dong asked, "Is this Li Zhong's country?"

The village secretary said, "That's right! Well, his family was originally quite well-off, but his parents' health isn't very good. They've spent a lot of money on medical treatment over the years. Li Zhongguo is a filial son, and he's in this state because of his medical expenses. So, what do you want with him?"

Zhao Dong waved his hand and said, "It's nothing! Just looking into the situation."

The village secretary nodded and said, "Alright! Now that you all know where I am, I'll head back first."

Zhao Dong nodded in thanks.

He instructed Wang Bin to go up and knock on the door.

Knock knock knock!

The heavy sound of the iron gate rang out.

A moment later, a man's voice came from inside the room.

Who is it?

"We're from the town. We came to check on your situation because we were concerned about your family's difficulties."

Squeak!

The gate opened.

A dark-skinned man opened the door, glanced at the group, and, especially at their imposing presence, paused for a moment before blurting out, "You're not from town, are you?"

Zhao Dong nodded, showed his identification, and said earnestly, "Li Zhongguo, I don't need to explain why I'm here, do I? I've looked at your file, and I've also served in the military, so I know the situation you're facing."

Li Zhongguo glanced at Zhao Dong, his expression a mixture of astonishment, shock, and panic, which ultimately turned into a sigh.

He said, "Since you're already here, come in with me. I stole that money, I'll confess!" There was a sense of relief in his tone.

Everyone was taken aback.

Clearly, they didn't expect Li Zhongguo to just give up.

Zhao Dong said, "What are you still standing there for? Take a statement, and be polite."

......

Half an hour later.

Li Zhongguo confessed to his crimes.

His only worry was his elderly mother at home.

Zhao Dong said, "We will contact the nursing home to ensure your mother's basic needs are met. Although you have already rushed into the hospital with the stolen money, we must still pursue the recovery of the stolen funds according to procedure."

"But don't worry, I will apply to the relevant organizations to see if we can secure some charitable donations to ensure your mother's surgery goes smoothly."

Li Zhongguo was so moved that tears streamed down his face, and he even wanted to kneel down before Zhao Dong.

Zhao Dong quickly helped him up.

This scene was captured by Wang Bin, who was standing nearby.

It's conceivable that once the photos are handed over to the publicity department, the cost of Li Zhongguo's mother's surgery should no longer be a problem.

Several people boarded the bus one after another.

Zhao Dong patted Guan Feng on the shoulder and said, "Little Guan, you did a great job this time!"

Others, such as Wang Bin, also looked at Guan Feng with admiration.

Nothing more!

The suspect was identified solely by a pair of footprints.

It was absolutely perfect; Guan Feng truly had the skill.

No matter how arrogant they were, or how much they considered themselves the elite of the serious crimes squad, they had to admit defeat.

Wang Bin exclaimed, "I've read the interrogation record, and Li Zhongguo's physical characteristics are almost exactly as Guan Feng described."

Guan Feng laughed and said, "It was a coincidence! I didn't expect the appraisal to be so accurate!"

Wang Bin, however, made it clear he didn't believe her: "I think you're just being modest!"

Zhao Dong reminded him, "Guan Feng! Why didn't you go to the provincial level to be evaluated as an expert? With your expertise in footprint identification, it shouldn't be a problem for you to be evaluated as an expert. Is there some difficulty in the bureau?"

The identification was successful this time.

Guan Feng is the biggest beneficiary.

He was also one of the people who reaped the most rewards.

Having a keen eye for talent is a fundamental principle for any leader.

As the old saying goes, a fine horse is easy to find, but a discerning eye is rare. His ability to promote Guan Feng from humble beginnings is a testament to his leadership skills!

Guan Feng explained, "I was just transferred back from southern Yunnan, and I haven't had time to deal with these things yet."

Zhao Dong thought for a moment and said, "In that case, let's apply through the municipal bureau and apply to the province for a special expert. It's not right that such a big city as Hua'an doesn't even have an expert in footprint identification."

Wang Bin nodded and said, "That's right! Everyone says to apply to the provincial level, but by then it'll be too late. Your case is important, but mine isn't? Putting everything else aside, if it weren't for Xiao Guan today, our case would have been submitted to the provincial department, and the footprint analysis would have taken at least three days! Three days later? The money..."

Although the rest of the sentence was not stated directly.

Those who understand, understand.

Obviously!

Several people also expressed their dissatisfaction with the lack of experts.

After a pause, Wang Bin eagerly suggested, "Squad leader, why don't we let our team apply?"

Zhao Dong waved his hand and said, "The squadron's application level is a bit low, so let's go with the municipal bureau's name. But Xiao Guan, you might need to assist in investigations if we encounter any tricky footprint identification issues in the future!"

Guan Feng nodded and said, "I will obey the organization's arrangements."

Zhao Dong nodded.

Next.

Everyone returned to the Municipal Bureau.

Guan Feng did not participate in the subsequent interrogation and returned directly to the branch office.
