Chapter 1032: Lu Chuan’s Promotion

Solving criminal cases is essentially like this: sometimes it may seem as if there are no clues at all, with the entire scene ravaged, but as long as we meticulously trace some minor trifles, they might lead the police to crack the case.

The follow-up work for the case will still need some time, and even though Lu Chuan and his team don’t need to work overtime every day, they are still quite busy.

Additionally, as the year-end approaches, various work summaries and meetings have increased, and the work at the desk remains quite cumbersome.

Lu Chuan, as the captain of the Criminal Investigation Team, needs to review many materials before they can be reported, so he’s been busy in the office these past few days.

For Lu Chuan, it’s indeed rare to be sitting in the office.

Since being transferred to the Criminal Investigation Team and serving as the captain, Lu Chuan has spent very limited time sitting in the office.

Additionally, Qin Luchuan’s tenure as captain of the Criminal Investigation Team is also nearing its end.

According to the usual procedure for the temporary post program, after a year, Lu Chuan will return to his original unit and continue at the Criminal Investigation Team, beginning by serving as an office director.

Of course, that’s the typical case.

It’s certainly different for Lu Chuan.

Over the past year, Lu Chuan’s performance at the High-tech Zone Criminal Investigation Team has been outstanding.

Since taking on the role of captain in the Criminal Investigation Team, none of the cases he handled have become cold cases.

The biggest capability in criminal investigations is whether you can solve cases, and Lu Chuan’s ability is evident to everyone.

This year, there have been numerous big and small cases, and whether it’s the Criminal Investigation Team or the other city districts, as long as there’s a particularly tricky case that can’t be handled, Lu Chuan always comes over to help.

Not only that, but this year Lu Chuan has also participated in multiple missions with the provincial serious crime team.

Every task has been completed successfully, and the word "outstanding" can be used to describe his performance.

"Captain Lu, it’s the end of the year, and your temporary post at our Criminal Investigation Team is also up. What’s going to happen next? Will you stay here as captain or be promoted to another place?"

In the cafeteria, Wang Zhaokai suddenly spoke up while eating.

On this topic, Chen Jiang, Sun Biao, and a few others immediately showed interest.

As the year ends, Lu Chuan’s temporary post will soon reach its term. So these folks are even more concerned than Lu Chuan about where he will be heading next.

Based on their thoughts, they hope Lu Chuan won’t leave and will continue being the captain of their Criminal Investigation Team.

Wang Zhaokai, Chen Jiang, and Sun Biao have all been old detectives, working in criminal investigations for over ten to twenty years.

This year’s work seems to have been the most satisfactory and effortless for them.

Although there have been more cases this year, equivalently summing up to the totals from two or three years, even three or four years in the past, particularly with homicides occurring more frequently.

The investigation process and outcomes for each case have been favorable.

Previously, when they were handling a case, to be honest, it was quite exhausting, always tracing clues from trivial matters and spending a lot of time, with some cases taking months, even a year or two to solve.

But since Lu Chuan came, they’ve found that their case-solving process seems to have become easier, even though it’s the same work as before, but somehow the case-solving speed is exceptionally fast since Lu Chuan arrived.

Some homicide cases were solved within three or four days, like the previous arson and corpse-burning case.

It barely took them three days from reporting to solving.

Middle of the year, even with a few particularly tough cases, it generally took just about 10 to 20 days to crack them.

Haizhou City’s Public Security Bureau has seven or eight Criminal Investigation Teams. Their High-tech Zone Criminal Investigation Team has been the envy of others throughout this year.

This change undoubtedly occurred after Lu Chuan’s arrival.

The few of them clearly understand that although this year’s cases are numerous, the nature isn’t different from the cases they’ve handled before. The only difference is they had a leadership change with Lu Chuan, an expert in Crime Scene Investigation, as a technically skilled leader.

Moreover, what makes everyone very comfortable is Lu Chuan hasn’t shown an ounce of bureaucratic arrogance, always approaching issues from the perspective of solving crimes, focusing on technical aspects.

This makes working at the Criminal Investigation Team very pleasant for everyone.

Such a leader is one that everyone likes and hopes to stay at their unit forever.

So, Wang Zhaokai and the others genuinely hope Lu Chuan won’t leave.

Lu Chuan shook his head: "I don’t know either."

Lu Chuan genuinely doesn’t know; he hasn’t heard anything about this.

Although Lu Chuan’s father-in-law is a bureau leader, if there’s anything concerning personnel arrangement involving Lu Chuan, Vice Director Shen needs to recuse himself.

Of course, this so-called recusal doesn’t mean he knows nothing, just that he can’t participate in discussions.

Of course, Lu Chuan isn’t particularly concerned about where he’ll go next; he hasn’t asked his father-in-law if he’ll be relocated at the end of the year.

Whether it’s ending the temporary post to return to the Criminal Investigation Team or continuing as captain at the Criminal Investigation Team, Lu Chuan has no other opinions.

No matter where he goes, Lu Chuan is clear that his career and plan is to steadily solve cases.

With Lu Chuan’s family conditions, he’s not short of money; what he lacks is his own life aspirations.

Of course, if through solving cases he can get promoted and climb the ladder, Lu Chuan thinks that would be quite nice.

The upcoming period is quite tranquil.

Within the entire Haizhou City area, there are no major cases, only some minor thefts and trivial matters solved at the police station level.

Moreover, soon it’s the end of the year; New Year’s Day is approaching, and the distance to the Spring Festival is getting closer; people returning home are gradually increasing.

In Haizhou City, the police’s work pressure and focus are largely shifting to maintaining stability.

Based on past work experience, although the common people are on holiday during the Spring Festival, it could be when the police are busiest.

During the Spring Festival, many gather together for a drink; naturally, with too much drinking, there’ll be arguments and trouble-making, fights and brawls aren’t few.

And on the second day after New Year’s Day, the High-tech Zone Criminal Investigation Team welcomed a conversation and examination from the Haizhou City Public Security Bureau’s organization department.

The examination target is clear; it’s Lu Chuan, the captain of the High-tech Zone Criminal Investigation Team.

However, the specific position has not been finalized.

Of course, it’s not finalized simply because it hasn’t been brought to the meeting.

A week later, the meeting for appointing Lu Chuan and five others was completed.

Lu Chuan is proposed to be the deputy director of the High-tech Zone Public Security Bureau, entering into a five-day period of public announcement!
