Su He listened in silence. Indeed, although working in the Criminal Investigation Brigade was tiring, it was also easy to achieve good results.

She was also commended by her superiors this year because of the Li Baocheng rape case. Captain Chen mentioned to her that she might be promoted exceptionally this year, directly to the deputy section chief level.

This kind of rapid advancement would be impossible elsewhere, no wonder others are eyeing it.

"Can our Captain Chen hold on?"

Luo Jun shook his head. "I don't know. Maybe it would have been possible before. The higher-ups knew about Captain Chen's situation and his character, so all the people who joined the Criminal Investigation Brigade over the years were vetted by Captain Chen himself. But this time is different."

At this point, Luo Jun leaned over and whispered to her, "The person trying to send people to us this time is our direct superior, from the provincial department, which is why Captain Chen looks so grim."

Su He was surprised to hear this. "Is it someone from the provincial department? What kind of person is he trying to bring in? Is he bad? If he's really not good enough, just let him in. He's just here to gain experience anyway. As long as it doesn't affect our work, it's fine."

Luo Jun shook his head, "If only it were that simple, but it's obvious they're not just here to gain experience."

"Oh? What's that?"

Luo Jun sighed, his words carrying a heavy weight: "Haven't we been short-staffed in our criminal investigation team all along? The higher-ups were discussing adding another squad a while ago."

Team Leader Chen did not refuse. His original idea was to select another team leader from among our existing personnel.

As a result, after the idea was proposed, someone was directly appointed as the team leader, and the person they appointed was the leader's son.

Team Leader Chen disagreed, and the matter reached a stalemate.

Su He frowned upon hearing this, "Then who is that person?"

"You mean the one who wants to come in? That's quite a background. He used to be a police officer in the municipal bureau, but not in our criminal investigation team."

He worked for two years without making any significant progress, just getting by. Later, he got involved with people in the black market, gathered a group of followers, and even bullied some women.

At first, many victims chose to swallow their anger because of his background. However, one time, one of his men was captured by someone with connections. When that person wanted to pursue the matter to the end, his family intervened to protect him, but his father also sent him to another place.

Later, I don't know when he came back, and he ended up working at a small police station in Beijing.

His father suggested he join our criminal investigation team because he had recently "made a contribution."

Su He was surprised to hear this, "From what you're saying, he must be quite old, right?"

"Yes, I'm almost thirty. If it weren't for my dad, I probably wouldn't be able to make it in the world by now."

"What about the family he offended? Are they willing to let him come back?"

Luo Jun said with a complicated expression, "That family had an accident a few years ago, and now the whole family is no longer in Beijing."

Su He remained silent for a moment, then finally asked in a low voice, "Could it have been them?"

Luo Jun shook his head. "Who knows?"

Su He sighed after hearing this and didn't dwell on it anymore. She simply asked, "So, after he did all these things, no one cared? He's a leader in the Municipal Bureau, and it's such an obvious case of using connections. Didn't anyone report it?"

Luo Jun gave her a meaningful look. "Some reports are effective, but some people are not to be trifled with. This leader has a cousin who is a bodyguard for our country's number one leader..."
