Lu Jianguo, in Haizhou City, you might not know who the mayor is.
But there's no one who doesn't know who the chairman of Qiangsheng Group, Lu Jianguo, is.
The legendary stories of this man are known by everyone; going from selling fish to building a trillion-yuan business empire, even TV shows wouldn't dare to depict it like this.
Wang Kai knows Lu Jianguo not because of anything else, but because this man donates over ten million to the Haizhou City Public Security Bureau every year.
Turns out, Lu Chuan is his grandson.
In fact, these things are in Lu Chuan's file, but they're not in the personnel department, so they haven't looked at it.
The police political review is not their concern.
Early the next morning.
"Lu, do you have a girlfriend?"
Yang Sen now looks at Lu Chuan as if his eyes are gleaming gold, just like looking at treasure.
Lu Chuan shook his head honestly, "Just graduated, I don't have a girlfriend yet."
Yang Sen nodded with satisfaction, "If you don't have one, do you want me to introduce someone to you?"
In the Criminal Investigation Team, most of the bachelors escape single life through introductions from their seniors.
With Lu Chuan's appearance and height, he stands out from the crowd, otherwise Song Yaoyao wouldn't have chosen to pursue Lu Chuan over the dance students at her college.
The main reason no one has introduced anyone yet is that everyone is observing.
Yang Sen is the first to take action.
Lu Chuan doesn't mind; after graduation, it's time to date.
"I have a niece, looks..."
Before he could finish, Old Bai interrupted, "Old Yang, didn't your niece just get divorced? Is it appropriate to introduce her?"
Lu Chuan looked at Yang Sen with some horror, and the latter started to refute, "She just registered, didn't hold a wedding!"
Lu Chuan: "..."
"Lu, do you want to consider it?"
"Old Yang, I just graduated, my energy should be focused on work, matters of the heart will have to wait!"
Lu Chuan firmly rejected, there is no room for negotiation on this issue.
"Alas," Yang Sen sighed, "My niece weighs one hundred and eighty pounds, she's blessed, is a prosperous wife type..."
One hundred and eighty pounds...
No need to consider.
"By the way, how's the arson case in the South Suburb going," Old Bai, being kind-hearted, looked at Lu Chuan with a teacup in hand, "Did you help them take fingerprints yesterday?"
"Yes," Lu Chuan nodded, "The fingerprint collection was quite complete, they can do the comparison themselves, but whether these fingerprints are useful..."
"Ding!"
"Basic task complete: Host investigates the fire scene of the South Suburb arson case, extracts four sets of burned fingerprints, assists Action Team Two in solving the South Suburb arson case."
As Lu Chuan was speaking, the system's task completion notification sounded.
Task completion indicates the arson case has been solved.
"It should be somewhat useful," Lu Chuan shifted the topic, "After all, the fingerprints were taken from the arson point, they are likely left by the suspect."
"Were those fingerprints burned?"
"All were burned by fire, I used some special method, luckily."
Old Bai didn't pursue further details, but Yang Sen beside him smacked his lips and said: "To be able to extract burnt fingerprints and let Old Ren and that group of rough guys directly use them for comparison..."
"Lu, your skill surpasses all us old guys here."
"Brother Yang, I just got lucky, and I did some research on this during university, gained some insights, didn't expect to use them this time."
Old Bai stood up and patted Lu Chuan on the shoulder, "Don't be too modest, being able to extract burned fingerprints from a fire scene, your skill is top-notch in Haizhou City's Public Security Bureau."
"We know Old Ren and his capabilities well; your extracted fingerprints can be directly used by them, this..."
Haha!
As Old Bai was speaking, the office door opened, and a hearty laugh came through, "Who's bad-mouthing me?"
The person entering was the leader of Action Team Two, Ren Qiang, "Old Bai, your habit of bad-mouthing behind one's back isn't good."
Old Bai shrugged, "Am I wrong? After all these years, don't I know your capabilities?"
"Next time there's fingerprint comparison, don't come to me."
Deal, with a single sentence, nailed it.
"Who else would I go to if not you!"
Ren Qiang not only came in person but didn't come empty-handed either.
Two bottles of Luzhou Laojiao were already placed on the table.
"Wasn't the liquor given yesterday?"
Liu Guodong had just finished a morning meeting and also entered the office.
"Haha, this is an extra token of appreciation."
Ren Qiang laughed, his face full of wrinkles, looking like a Shar-Pei, "Our crime scene investigation team is really different."
"Lu helped us collect the fingerprints on-site yesterday, which indeed were left by the perpetrator. We did a comparison overnight and confirmed the suspect."
"Just now, he has confessed."
Just confessed?
No wonder Qin Yong didn't say that the case had been solved during the morning meeting.
Liu Guodong glanced at the Luzhou Laojiao on the table, "Old Ren, for solving the arson case, just two bottles of Laojiao... isn't that a bit stingy?"
Ren Qiang's expression immediately collapsed, "Old Liu, there are no rewards for this case, I had to pay for this myself."
After speaking, he mysteriously smiled, "But, I have good news, do you want to hear it?"
"Don't keep us in suspense, out with it."
The two are long-time colleagues, privately very close, speaking casually.
"I just heard that the reward for the Zhang Wen case is coming through."
Reward?
Liu Guodong and the other three were slightly startled, exchanging glances.
Regarding rewards for homicide cases, there are clear regulations.
Not only Haizhou City's Public Security Bureau, but all public security bureaus are very generous with homicide case rewards.
Homicides are one of the most important assessment targets for police stations, criminal investigation teams, and criminal police squads.
For example, Haizhou City's Public Security Bureau grants a hundred thousand reward to police stations with no homicides.
If a homicide occurs and is solved, fifty thousand is awarded.
If unsolved...
No money, no cash, no promotion, nothing.
The Zhang Wen case was solved quite quickly, but the review of homicide cases involves multiple mechanisms.
The Criminal Investigation Team solves the case, fixes the evidence, sorts out the crime chain, and then submits a report.
Haizhou City's Public Security Bureau will organize experts to do a second round of review on all procedural materials.
Afterwards, it needs to be reported to the provincial department for the record.
This doesn't even count the judicial institutions' review.
It's just within the public security system that it must go through multiple verifications.
So, a month after the Zhang Wen case, the rewards being issued isn't considered slow.
"Is there a third-class merit?"
Solving a homicide case generally results in a third-class merit award.
But it's not necessarily individual; it could be a collective merit.
"I heard that the higher-ups are quite pleased with our team's work recently, Director Song praised us at several meetings."
After speaking, Ren Qiang glanced at Lu Chuan, "Especially the Outlets Pedestrian Street case, the higher-ups are very pleased with our work on that."
Liu Guodong and the other three looked towards Lu Chuan.
