"Jiang An?"

"He's just someone from the neighboring city's criminal investigation team. If we invite him here, wouldn't it be like openly admitting that our capabilities are lacking?"

"Besides, if this case is really solved by him, where does that leave the face of our Chuan City criminal investigation team?"

"And if he can't solve it, won't it just be a waste of police resources?"

Wang Yang frowned deeply, tapping the table with his fingers as he spoke, clearly having many reservations about this suggestion.

Chen Biao, however, insisted, shaking his head and analyzing seriously: "Mr. Chen, listen to me, although I haven't personally witnessed Jiang An's case-solving abilities, from the first time I met him, I felt he exuded a strong professionalism, his thinking must be particularly active."

"Moreover, I just searched through WeChat Moments for reports about him and found that he indeed has a talent for solving cases."

"Not only is he often mentioned by Jiangcheng's official media, but many personal accounts also talk about his prowess. I think it's definitely worth a try to invite him over."

Upon hearing this, Wang Yang glanced at the file on the table, his finger pausing on the "Headless Woman Case" text.

He then looked up at Chen Biao, with a bit of uncertainty in his voice: "Is this person... really as capable as you say?"

"Of course, see for yourself."

Chen Biao quickly handed over the phone that was still open to the Moments page, his fingers swiftly scrolling across the screen.

With a few swift swipes, more than a hundred reports about Jiang An appeared from various sources.

There were both official media and some local-focused private accounts.

Watching Wang Yang browse through the articles one by one, Chen Biao added in a low voice: "If there were only one or two pieces of information, it might indeed be, as you said, someone deliberately hyping him up."

"But these reports come from different media, spanning several time periods, and even the reporting regions are different, which shows he really has the skills, not just hype."

Five minutes later, Wang Yang returned the phone to Chen Biao, leaned back, and rested his head against the chair.

He took a deep breath, and when he reopened his eyes, there was more determination in them.

"Alright then, let's invite him over to try."

"Right now, it's like trying to bring a dead horse back to life."

"If we can find a breakthrough, that would be great."

"If there's still no progress, I'll personally go to Mr. Ma to plead guilty."

"Let's shelve the case file for now and pick it up again when conditions allow."

Hearing this, Chen Biao quickly nodded: "Captain, don't worry, I have confidence in this expert from Jiangcheng."

"You haven't seen it, last time when we met, he seemed very humble, but his insight was extraordinary, definitely not an ordinary person."

"Alright, you handle contacting him, I'll report to Mr. Ma."

Wang Yang stood up, rubbing his aching temples.

At the moment, the meeting room of the criminal investigation team was still crowded, as reporters continued to throw out numerous questions.

Some of these questions involved daily work procedures, while others subtly pried into personal matters.

But it was obvious that what everyone really wanted to dig into were more case details and information about Jiang An himself.

Especially the reporters from the Metropolitan Evening News, who were eager to extract some exclusive content from him.

Meanwhile, Mr. Ma was in his office, holding his phone, watching the live broadcast of the press conference.

On the screen, his team's clear and logical presentation of the case filled him with both comfort and pride.

Nowadays, the criminal investigation team is becoming more outstanding, not only are their crime-solving skills solid, but talents like Jiang An are also emerging.

It's truly heartwarming and delightful.

Suddenly, the office door was gently knocked on, "knock knock", and the head of the Secretarial Section, Chen, walked in.

"Mr. Ma, are you busy?"

Mr. Ma looked up and smiled: "Not busy, what's up?"

"There's an urgent fax here that needs your signature."

Chen handed over the document. "Urgent fax?"

Mr. Ma's heart sank, instantly sitting up straight.

Having worked in the public security system for so many years, the word 'urgent' always made him instantly alert.

"What's so urgent?"

Chen quickly explained: "It's from the Chuan City Public Security Bureau, they want to name Jiang An to come over and guide them in solving a case."

"Chuan City Public Security Bureau?"

"Inviting Jiang An?"

Mr. Ma suddenly looked up, his brows slightly furrowed.

He really couldn't figure out what the connection was between the two.

Even if another unit wanted to borrow someone, common sense dictates they would first go for a captain-level person, why would they suddenly name a deputy captain?

For a moment, his hand holding the fax paused in mid-air, a bit stunned.

"This... isn't a mistake, right?"

He looked down at the document, "But it's clearly written in black and white, with the official seal."

Chen quickly added: "Mr. Ma, before I came, I already verified with Chuan City."

"They said they actually didn't know Jiang An before, it's just that two days ago when Jiang An went to Chuan City to escort a suspect, he happened to interact with their people."

"Along with today's live broadcast of the press conference, they seem to have greatly acknowledged Jiang An's case-solving ability."

"They especially sent a fax to invite him over to guide the investigation of the headless woman's case."

Hearing this, Mr. Ma's mouth couldn't help but curve into a smile, a burst of fireworks exploded in his heart.

At this moment, his heart felt both surprised and delighted.

Being specifically invited by an out-of-town criminal investigation unit is the kind of recognition that many dream of.

This kid Jiang An is really bringing more and more credit to Jiangcheng Public Security!

He immediately slapped the table: "Quickly, get Li Jian over here!"

"Yes!" Chen responded, quickly retreating.

Five minutes later, Li Jian ran in, slightly sweating on his forehead.

"Mr. Ma, you called for me?"

"Yes, have a seat."

Mr. Ma pointed to the chair opposite him, first lighting a cigarette for himself, then handing one to Li Jian.

"There's a document here involving your criminal investigation team."

"What document is so urgent?"

Li Jian took the document, and as soon as he glanced at the header, he froze.

Watching his reaction, Mr. Ma said slowly: "Right after you brought back the suspect, the Chuan City criminal investigation team sent a fax, wanting to borrow Jiang An to assist them with a case."

"What do you think about arranging this?"

Li Jian paused, holding the document, feeling momentarily lost in thought.

This was really too sudden!

Jiang An had already stayed up several nights, and now he was being sent on a business trip again, wouldn't that be too exhausting?

Thinking of this, he looked up and asked: "Mr. Ma, does Jiang An have to go?"

"There are other experienced team members..."

Mr. Ma firmly nodded: "Since the other side specifically named Jiang An, we must respect their decision."

"Moreover, Jiang An's crime-solving skills are evident to all."

"If someone else goes, they might not be able to showcase the strength of our Jiangcheng Public Security criminal investigation team."

Hearing this, Li Jian thought for a moment, then nodded, a small hint of a smile appearing on his face.

"Mr. Ma, you're right."

"This job really has to be handled by our own people, and it must be Jiang An."

"In the entire criminal investigation team, only with Jiang An going will I be truly at ease."

At 11:20 a.m., Jiang An finally finished answering the last journalist's question.

As he walked out of the meeting room, he felt his mouth dry and his throat felt like it was stuffed with cotton.

This was the first time he'd faced so many cameras, and although he appeared calm, it was indeed somewhat uncomfortable inside.

Rushing to his office, all he wanted was to drink some water and take a breather.

But as soon as he reached the corridor of the office building, before he could push open the office door, he was stopped by Li Jian.

"Back already?"

Li Jian had his usual gentle smile.

Jiang An nodded lightly, perplexed: "Mr. Li, do you need me for something?"

"I'm afraid I have to ask you to go on a business trip again."

Li Jian's tone carried a hint of apology.

Jiang An was taken aback: "Didn't this case just end? Why go out again?" 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

Li Jian couldn't help but chuckle and explained: "This trip is different, it's to guide another unit on a case."

"To be honest, even I'm a bit envious of this opportunity."

With that, he handed over a fax he was holding.
