Official Career Storm

Song Guanchao followed him out of the meeting room.

"Political Commissioner Wen, you were looking for me?"

"You should be aware of Yan Han's identity."

"I know."

"As long as you know, I don't need to remind you further."

Wen Ru said, "Director Zhang has given us quite a bit of pressure. If this case can be solved, it would mean Director Zhang owes you a favor, District Chief Song. I hope you'll give it more attention."

Song Guanchao felt very strange: "Political Commissioner Wen, do you really believe I can solve it?"

Wen Ru said, "You've assisted the police in solving several cases in Ling'an and performed excellently. Perhaps you haven't realized it yourself, but you're actually more suited to be a detective."

Liang Jianfeng had said similar things.

"Political Commissioner Wen overestimates me," Song Guanchao said humbly, without thumping his chest and claiming he could definitely handle it.

Solving the case would naturally be a good thing.

Fame and fortune.

But if he couldn't solve it, boasting now would only lead to embarrassment later.

"I'll do my best."

Wen Ru didn't press him further with words.

Song Guanchao nodded, and after seeing Wen Ru off, he turned and went back to the meeting room.

As soon as he opened the door, he heard the noisy commotion. Each group had pulled aside several police officers to understand the case details.

When Song Guanchao came in, the meeting room fell silent for a moment.

Zhou Xin suddenly walked over, saying, "District Chief Song, would your group mind having one more member?"

Song Guanchao was a bit surprised. This guy wanted to team up with him?

"No need, we already have enough members in our group."

Song Guanchao directly refused.

Zhou Xin's face didn't look too pleased. He nodded without saying anything further and turned back.

Song Guanchao walked up to Captain Liu: "Captain Liu, I need to see Yan Han."

"No problem."

Captain Liu remembered him well.

Initially, everyone in the task force was resistant to cooperating with the party school on this case.

They felt that the party school shouldn't use criminal cases as practice exercises.

This was beyond the capabilities of the students.

After all, the training was primarily focused on developing leadership skills, not on solving cases.

It seemed like a case of putting the cart before the horse.

However, Song Guanchao's performance had surprised him.

He led Song Guanchao out of the meeting room, and Jiang Yiren, along with two others, quickly followed.

As soon as they left, someone immediately said, "He has something to ask Yan Han?"

"Could he have discovered something?"

"I heard Song Guanchao has solved several cases in Lingjiang and is quite experienced in investigations."

"If anyone can solve this case, he definitely has the best chance."

"What a pity, I should have joined their group."

Many people sighed with regret.

Zhou Xin squinted his eyes, thinking deeply about something.

...

In the interrogation room.

Captain Liu accompanied Song Guanchao, sitting at the interrogation table.

When Yan Han was brought in, he froze for a moment upon seeing Song Guanchao, then his expression turned grim: "Song Guanchao, what are you doing here?"

Song Guanchao remained expressionless. He took out a cigarette and lit it, quietly watching him.

After Yan Han sat down, he said, "I've temporarily taken over your case."

Yan Han froze again, then burst into laughter.

Song Guanchao tilted his head, watching him: "Is it funny?"

"A thief crying 'Stop thief!' Song Guanchao, you're trying to kill me!"

Song Guanchao chuckled, "Trying to kill you? Do I need to use such methods? You really overestimate yourself."

"You're not admitting it..."

"Alright, I don't have time to talk nonsense with you."

Song Guanchao couldn't be bothered to explain further, interrupting him, saying, "I have a few questions for you. If you want to clear your name, cooperate and answer truthfully. If you want to end up imprisoned for life, keep giving me attitude. After all, it's your life, not mine, so I don't really care."

Yan Han looked at him suspiciously for a few seconds, then asked, "Is it really not you?"

Song Guanchao couldn't be bothered with such meaningless questions and asked, "Have you offended anyone recently?"

"If you're included, then just you."

"Besides me."

"No one."

"In the past year, no one at all?"

"No one."

He answered quickly and without hesitation.

But Song Guanchao didn't believe him, or rather, he didn't trust any suspects.

"You've been so arrogant, and you haven't offended anyone in the past year?"

Song Guanchao felt like he was being teased.

Yan Han gritted his teeth, "Believe it or not, I really haven't offended anyone. Besides, I keep a low profile."

Song Guanchao remained silent.

Such a framing couldn't have happened for no reason.

It must be a deep grudge for someone to go to such lengths.

But Yan Han didn't seem to be lying.

Given the severity of this kind of revenge, it was unlikely he could forget such an incident.

Then there's only one possibility left, he isn't lying.

The target isn't him.

If it's not him, then it's obvious.

The target is someone else through implicating him.

"I understand."

Song Guanchao nodded, stood up, and said, "Captain Liu, I'm done with my questions."

After speaking, he left the interrogation room.

Yan Han frowned, sitting in the interrogation chair, also lost in thought.

Was this really not his doing?

If it wasn't him, who could it be?

He really hadn't offended anyone.

Besides Song Guanchao, he truly couldn't think of anyone who would do this.

...

"How did it go?" Cheng Xiang approached, "Did you find out anything?"

Song Guanchao said, "Let's talk somewhere else."

They went to a small meeting room, and Song Guanchao lit a cigarette, saying, "I can confirm two things at the moment."

The three exchanged looks, surprised that within less than an hour of arriving from the party school, Song Guanchao could confirm two things?

They all had the same dossiers and had similar understandings of the situation.

But why was he able to analyze things others couldn't so quickly?

Song Guanchao ignored their reactions and continued, "First, Yan Han was set up. This is almost certain."

Chen Yirou said, "Since he was framed, he should have a general suspect in mind, right?"

"Yes." Song Guanchao nodded, "His suspect is me."

"What?"

The three were astonished.

Song Guanchao said, "Have you forgotten about how he set up women at the party school to frame me so soon?"

"That... of course, we haven't forgotten."

"That's it." Song Guanchao said, "So, theoretically, I have the motive and am a suspect."

Cheng Xiang asked, "Besides you, does he have any other suspects?"

"No."

"Strange."

Cheng Xiang furrowed his brows, "Logically, since the other side is framing him with drugs, he must have done something to provoke great anger. Such a big thing, he can't possibly forget, right?"

Song Guanchao said, "He said he hadn't, and I believe he's not lying."

"Strange, very strange." Cheng Xiang couldn't understand, "Without a deep grudge, who would go out of their way to take revenge on him? Either he's lying, or he's hurt someone unknowingly."

Song Guanchao said, "There is another possibility."

"What possibility?"

"The target isn't him, but someone else using him as a pawn to eliminate someone else."
