Chapter 23
It could be said that this was a somewhat absurd case file.
A patient who had undergone a liver transplant and had successfully saved his life actually sued the hospital that saved him because of a high liver match and even accused them of murder for money…
This kind of plot… Even a wouldn’t have such a storyline.
However, the plot that did not exist in the actually existed in reality.
Moreover, Chen Yan knew that it was definitely not that simple to cause the system to issue a mission and give him a ten-day deadline to solve the case.
After leaving the archive room, Chen Yan returned to his newly-assigned office.
In the search and arrest team, only those whose positions were leaders and above were allowed to have their own office.
Ordinary detectives usually worked in a large office. It was even worse for trainee police officers. They didn’t have an office.
Sweeping the floor, maintaining hygiene, and pouring water was their main tasks.
Liu Qingshan had also moved out of his original office. He was currently chatting with three police officers.
Seeing Chen Yan come out of the archive room, Liu Qingshan extinguished the cigarette in his hand. “Leader, these three are the team members that Captain Zhang arranged for our team.”
This time, Liu Qingshan did not address Chen Yan as Xiao Chen or directly address him by his name. Instead, he addressed him as the leader.
This was the experience of an experienced person.
Since he was no longer the leader, he had to set his attitude straight, especially in front of the three newcomers.
He had to establish his prestige in front of Chen Yan.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtOf course, Chen Yan could hear the meaning of Liu Qingshan’s words, but Chen Yan had his own code of conduct.
Once a master, always a master.
“Master, as the leader, I still don’t know what’s going on. It’s all thanks to the captain looking after me…”
“Brother Zhang, Brother Wang, Brother Zhao, the three of you are the best in our team. I didn’t expect the captain to be able to transfer the three of you here. I hope the three of you can give me more pointers in the future!”
Chen Yan knew the three new team members.
Zhang Zhaoyang was originally a member of Liu Qingshan’s team. He had followed the case of the mutilated body of a wife, so Chen Yan was very familiar with him.
Wang Gang and Zhao Bing were also experienced detectives in the team. The shortest time they had been on the police force was at least ten years.
“Leader, don’t be polite with us.” Zhao Bing and the other two quickly went forward. “In order to join your team, the three of us have risked our lives to come here. We will be basking in your glory in the future!”
“That’s right, Leader. Old Zhao is right. It’s our honor to be able to join your team!”
“Leader, I was the one who took over the case of the mutilated body of a wife last time. If you weren’t so bold and meticulous in solving the case in the latter part, I would be in deep trouble in the future!” Zhang Zhaoyang was still a little scared when he thought about it now.
To be honest, if it weren’t for Chen Yan, that case would definitely have been classified as a missing person case.
This was a major mistake, and it wasn’t even an exaggeration to say that it would be a crime.
Therefore, Zhang Zhaoyang originally had a chance to take over the position of Leader Liu Qingshan, but he gave up on the better treatment and joined Chen Yan’s team.
The three of them kept a low profile.
It was normal when thinking about it. Chen Yan had been here for more than a month and had solved major cases consecutively. He had given the team collective third-class merit, and he had also received two individual third-class merits.
Why would anyone worry about not having any merits when they follow such a person?
Not to mention, as long as he could get one individual third-class merit, it would be a lifetime of glory.
Why did he become a police officer?
Wasn’t it just for the anger in his heart and the sense of justice?
If it was for the sake of getting promoted and getting rich, who would become a police officer?
Whether it was in Hua Country or in Chen Yan’s previous life, a police officer’s promotion was the most difficult to come by.
Not only did they have to work overtime. At a certain level, they still had to have credit.
What was credit?
Credit was life!
Li Ting and Wang Chongen were examples.
“Brothers, you are too polite. From now on, you can call me Xiao Chen or Chen Yan. Don’t call me Leader.” Chen Yan hurriedly waved his hand. Just because others took a fancy to him, it didn’t mean that he could take advantage of them.
Respect was mutual.
Besides, it was just a leader. It was assigned internally by the second search and arrest team. It really wasn’t an official position.
Liu Qingshan was familiar with both sides. Seeing this, he knew that this team had succeeded. “Leader, did you just go to the archive room to look at the files?”
“Yes.” Chen Yan nodded and patted the file box under his armpit. “This case is quite interesting. I plan to study it!”
Putting the file box on the table, Liu Qingshan and the others immediately came up to him.
“The case of Meiri International Hospital?” Zhang Zhaoyang looked at the label on the file box and was a little surprised. He looked at Zhao Bing. “Old Zhao, I remember that you were the one who took on this case back then, right?”
Zhao Bing nodded and looked at Chen Yan with a bitter smile. “Leader, this is an old case from five years ago. I handled it back then. Are you interested in this case?”
Chen Yan nodded. There was a record of the police handling the case back then in the case file. Chen Yan had studied it carefully and knew that Zhao Bing was the person handling it.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“I’m not interested…” Chen Yan shook his head. He was not interested in this case originally, but the system was interested in it.
For the reward, he became very interested now.
Of course, he couldn’t say it out loud. “I just feel that this case is a little… funny, so I’ll take a look at the case file.”
Funny!
Zhao Bing nodded. It was more appropriate to describe this case as funny. “Leader, this case caused quite a stir back then. The reporters followed it up and reported on it. I have a deep impression of this case.”
Chen Yan nodded and looked at the four of them. “There’s nothing much going on recently. Brother Zhao, you were familiar with the case back then, and now you happened to be on our team. Then, let’s make this case the first case that our team will follow up on since its establishment!”
Of course, Liu Qingshan had no objections.
The other three had just joined the team. Naturally, they would not disagree with Chen Yan’s first decision. Of course, they agreed.
“Okay!” Chen Yan clapped his hands and looked at Zhao Bing. “Brother Zhao, you’re familiar with this case. First, let’s give everyone a brief account of the case.”
Zhao Bing’s expression changed. As an elite detective of the second search and arrest team, he naturally had a good discipline attitude. After receiving the order, Zhao Bing became serious.
Opening the file, Zhao Bing began to introduce the case. “The case happened five years ago…”
Chen Yan nodded as he spoke.
Zhao Bing had a deep impression of this case. Even though five years had passed, when he picked up the file, he still spoke in an orderly manner.
“… In the end, Meiri International Hospital intended to sue Li Jing for slander. However, after our mediation, the other party did not pursue the matter further.”
Putting down the file, Zhao Bing sighed. “Actually, Li Jing also had a grievance back then, which was why he sued Meiri International Hospital.”
Chen Yan raised his eyebrows.
Grievance?
Seeing Chen Yan’s confusion, Zhao Bing continued, “Li Jing had a twin brother. The two of them are orphans and grew up together. However, the day before Li Jing’s car accident, his brother also had a car accident.”
“Coincidentally, his brother was also sent to Meiri International Hospital, but he was not resuscitated…”
A twin brother died in a car accident?
