Using the same group vehicle they had used to arrive, Guan Feng greeted Zhao Dong and then privately spoke to Wang Bin before heading straight back to the branch office.

squeak!

Half an hour later.

Guan Feng parked his car and had just entered the office when Zheng Yuandong walked in with a smile.

As soon as he entered, he looked at Guan Feng and said with a hearty laugh, "Little Guan, you've done another great service this time!"

Guan Feng humbly replied, "It was a coincidence! I never expected it to be such a coincidence."

"A coincidence?"

Zheng Yuandong said incredulously, "Those guys in the Major Crimes Unit are practically praising you to the skies. Wang Bin called me directly, saying he's really learned something new this time. I've never seen this old guy so impressed with anyone before. You're amazing!" He then gave a thumbs up.

He was completely impressed.

The guys in the Major Crimes Unit are usually arrogant and consider themselves the elite of criminal investigation in the city. They look down on the criminal investigation teams from other branches and don't even give him, their captain, much face.

But this time, when my old friend called in person, his attitude was...

Zheng Yuandong was incredibly proud of himself.

What?

Wasn't it him who did the identification?

Guan Feng was also his subordinate.

Do you even understand the value of being a "subordinate"?

This moment.

Zheng Yuandong felt extremely honored.

Hearing this, the others gathered around.

"Captain, what's going on?"

"How did he get credit? What was the team leader doing?"

Zheng Yuandong was clearly in a good mood and revealed some details of the cases.

When they heard that Guan Feng's footprint identification directly rejected the investigation direction proposed by the Municipal Bureau and pointed out the direction with 100% accuracy, and that the final suspect was almost exactly the same, they were amazed.

Everyone cheered.

Li Xiangdong was even more eager to replace him.

"No wonder! Team leader, you really stole the show this time!"

"Let's see if these guys from the Major Crimes Unit still dare to act arrogantly in our branch office. We don't care about other branches, but if the Hongcheng Bureau is still acting superior, we'll just push the team leader out and slap them in the face!"

"Team leader, you must be exhausted. Have some tea to soothe your throat."

Everyone chimed in with their own opinions, showering him with flattery.

Guan Feng could only manage a wry smile.

They have developed a certain degree of immunity to this scene.

Especially Li Xiangdong!

This kid just brews tea.

What does it mean to blow on it twice? Does it mean it wants you to drink its saliva by licking it like that?

"Oh, right, Xiao Guan!"

Zheng Yuandong seemed to remember something and asked, "What's the deal with that expert evaluation application?"

Guan Feng explained simply: "Back then... applying through the Municipal Bureau would be faster, but it would be busier. In the future, if cases in the city require footprint identification, I will have to provide some cooperation. Otherwise, everything will remain the same."

After all, he is their direct superior.

Guan Feng needs to explain this clearly.

Zheng Yuandong understood Guan Feng's attitude, smiled and patted him on the shoulder, affirming, "Don't feel pressured, this is a good thing for you. As for the team, I'm here for you."

Putting aside Guan Feng's background, his abilities alone are extraordinary.

Although Zheng Yuandong liked this subordinate very much, he also knew that Guan Feng would not stay for long, and he would not deliberately hinder the other party's promotion.

This is a win-win situation!

Guan Feng said, "Thank you, Captain!"

Zheng Yuandong nodded, chatted for a while longer, and then left.

Guan Feng then went into his office.

As the team leader.

He has a private office.

However, I usually prefer to sit with everyone and rarely come in.

Close the door.

He dialed his mother's number.

This conversation indeed clarified the whole story.

Back when his father, Guan Lidong, was the political commissar of the police station under Hongcheng, Zhao Dong happened to be the director. The two worked together and were considered old comrades-in-arms.

besides.

My mom also revealed some news.

Chen Guoqiang, the deputy director of the municipal bureau, was his father's former squad leader.

The two families have maintained contact over the years, and the elder family members are considered to be on the same level.

Guan Feng suddenly realized.

No wonder Zhao Dong pushed him so hard today.

Beyond mere appreciation for subordinates, there is probably also a sense of care and concern from an elder for a younger generation.

After hanging up the phone, Guan Feng returned to his seat. There were no cases all afternoon, and apart from finishing up some cases, he rarely got a break.

......

I slept soundly through the night.

Guan Feng quickly washed up.

We went to the branch office for breakfast.

The same old three items!

The cafeteria staff serve the food directly without needing to ask.

Guan Feng finished his quick meal and went to his office.

I reviewed and sorted through the case files from this period.

This is a good habit he developed after starting work.

A strategic overview!

Taking a holistic view of the case greatly enhances his criminal investigation capabilities.

Knock knock knock!

Zheng Yuandong walked in.

Guan Feng asked, "Captain, has a case come in?"

Zheng Yuandong nodded and said, "That's right! Just now, the command center received a report of a murder in Xiangjiang Haojun residential area. The victim's son was killed! The specific details are still unclear. Your team should go there as soon as possible."

Guan Feng immediately said, "We'll head over there right away."

Police cars sped off towards Hong Kong Grand Residence.

......

Hong Kong's Grand Estates.

One of the high-end residential communities in Hongcheng.

The residents there are mostly high-net-worth individuals such as white-collar workers, teachers, and doctors.

When Guan Feng arrived at the community.

A middle-aged woman, around forty years old, dressed with a youthful charm, wearing a beige Chanel-style dress that clearly indicated she was a pampered lady, squatted by the flower bed, sobbing silently, with tear stains still on her face.

Beside her.

A corgi was lying there.

Guan Feng and his group stepped forward and asked, "Are you Chen Wanqing?"

The woman wiped away her tears and nodded, saying, "It's me!"

Guan Feng said, "We received a report that your son has been murdered. Please take us to the scene."

Chen Wanqing sniffed and pointed to the ground, saying, "This is the crime scene!"

Guan Feng was taken aback.
