"Yes," Han Bin replied.
"Alright, it's rare for you to have time. Spend some more time with the old man. We'll talk tomorrow," Zheng Kaixuan said.
"Okay."
"Say hello to Chief Han for me."
"Sure."
Then, Zheng Kaixuan hung up.
Han Bin rubbed his chin, thinking about why Zheng Kaixuan was looking for him.
"Son, don't tell me there's another mission?" Wang Huifang frowned.
"No, Captain Zheng called me and asked me to go to his office tomorrow," Han Bin said.
"If Zheng Kaixuan needs something, he should look for your team leader. Why would he look for you directly? Did you make a mistake? "Han Weidong asked.
Han Bin sat down and took a sip of wine. "No, Captain Zeng is going to Quancheng for training. I heard it's organized by the provincial office."
"The organization wants to give him more responsibilities?" Han Weidong asked.
"How would I know?" Han Bin shrugged.
"Most likely." Han Weidong mumbled. He thought for a moment and said, "Did Captain Zheng reveal the reason why he's looking for you?"
"No."
"You don't know?"
"I think Captain Zheng will temporarily take charge of Team 2. At the same time, when he's not around, he might let me be in charge of the mission arrangements," Han Bin guessed.
Han Weidong reached out and patted his son's shoulder. "Kid, you have to seize the opportunity. Every carrot has its own pit. If Zeng Ping wants to be promoted, the position of team leader may be promoted from within."
"Dad, I haven't been in the criminal police for long. Isn't my experience too shallow?" Han Bin said.
"Experience also depends on the person. You've solved several major cases since you joined the criminal police team. You've even received a personal third-class merit and a collective third-class merit. Other than you, who else in Team 2 is more suitable?" Han Weidong asked.
"Then will they be transferred from another team?"
"If you don't have a suitable candidate in your team, you might transfer someone from another team, but that's not likely. Criminal investigation requires teamwork. No matter how capable a person is, he or she needs help from his teammates. If you transfer someone from another team, will you be able to convince the others? You have to consider whether or not you're compatible with your teammates, "Han Weidong solemnly warned.
"Let me tell you, Zheng Kaixuan might have asked you to go to his office as a test. If you have the ability to lead Team 2 while Zeng Ping is gone and ensure that the crime solving rate doesn't drop, he definitely won't want to transfer people from outside."
Han Bin nodded in agreement with his father's words.
Han Bin and Zheng Kaixuan had always gotten along well. If Han Bin could be promoted, it could be said that he was personally promoted by Zheng Kaixuan. He was capable and respected Zheng Kaixuan. There was no need to transfer people from outside.
Seeing that Han Bin might be promoted, Han Weidong was very happy. He opened another bottle of wine at his suggestion.
Wang Huifang didn't buy it. In her opinion, Han Weidong was just greedy for wine. It was just that she didn't embarrass him in front of the old master.
After dinner, Han Bin helped his mother tidy up. His grandpa and father went back to their room for lunch.
After tidying up, Han Bin lay on the recliner to bask in the sun, play with the cat, feed the birds, and admire the flowers in the yard. It was very comfortable.
Han Bin thought to himself, No wonder grandpa didn't want to move to the city. When I retire, I will move back and enjoy a leisurely and carefree life.
…
The next day, Han Bin and his family drove back to the city.
Han Weidong first drove Wang Huifang home, then drove Han Bin to Yuhua Branch, and finally drove to Guang 'an Police Station.
As the chief of the police station, it didn't matter if he arrived early or late.
Han Bin first went to Zheng Kaixuan's office and knocked on the door. Knock, knock.
"Come in." Zheng Kaixuan's voice sounded in the office.
Creak … The door creaked. Han Bin opened the door and walked in.
"Captain Zheng."
"Sit."
Zheng Kaixuan pointed at the chair opposite the desk.
Han Bin nodded and sat across from him.
Zheng Kaixuan looked at Han Bin and said with a smile, "Do you know why I asked you to come today?"
Han Bin hesitated. If he said he didn't know, it would seem a bit fake. If he said he knew, it would be awkward if he wasn't.
However, after thinking about it, there was no one else here. Zheng Kaixuan had always taken care of him, so there was nothing to be embarrassed about. If he made it too fake, it would seem hypocritical.
"Is it because of Captain Zeng's training?" Han Bin asked.
Zheng Kaixuan nodded. He didn't beat around the bush and said directly, "Zeng Ping is going to Quancheng for training, so I will temporarily take over Team 2. However, I have a lot of things to do, and I have to take care of Team 1. I can't take care of everything. So, you will temporarily be in charge of Team 2. If you're not sure, report to me."
"Captain Zheng, thank you for your trust," Han Bin said gratefully.
"This is not a light responsibility. It's also a challenge for you. Are you confident?"
"Yes!" Han Bin said loudly.
"Good. I like your enthusiasm." Zheng Kaixuan reached out and patted Han Bin's shoulder.
"Go. I've talked to your Captain Zeng. He also suggested that you be temporarily in charge of Team 2. Make sure nothing goes wrong with the handover," Zheng Kaixuan said.
"Yes."
Han Bin responded and walked out of the office. He was still a little excited and only calmed down after taking a few deep breaths.
Back in the office, Zeng Ping handed over some important things to Han Bin and told him to work hard. He must not let Team 2's crime solving rate drop. Han Bin naturally agreed.
In the afternoon, Zeng Ping didn't come to the office again. He packed up and prepared to go to Quancheng for training …
Han Bin wished Zeng Ping a smooth sailing. At the same time, he couldn't help but feel that the burden on his shoulders had increased. In the past, Zeng Ping was responsible for everything. Now that he was the actual person in charge of Team 2, the things he had to consider and the responsibilities he had to bear were much more than before.
With Zeng Ping's departure, the atmosphere in Team 2 was a little different from before. Han Bin's criminal investigation skills were strong, and everyone used to respect him. But now, other than respect, there was also a little fear.
Not only did Han Bin have to adapt, but the other team members also had to adapt to Han Bin's leadership.
The members of Team 2 might be envious and jealous, but they didn't have any negative emotions. It was better for Han Bin to be in charge of Team 2 than an outsider.
…
The next day, when Han Bin was looking through the information.
"Creak …" Zheng Kaixuan pushed the door open and hurried in.
"Captain Zheng." Everyone greeted him.
Zheng Kaixuan waved his hand. "Sit here, there's a case."
Han Bin sat next to Zheng Kaixuan and asked, "Captain Zheng, what case?"
"Food poisoning," Zheng Kaixuan said.
"Isn't this kind of case usually handled by the police station?" Zhao Ming shrugged his shoulders.
"It was handed over by the police station. The current situation is quite serious, and it's very likely to be man-made poisoning. There are more than twenty people suspected to be poisoned, and the number may continue to increase." Zheng Kaixuan frowned and showed a worried expression.
"Captain Zheng, how are the poisoned people?" Han Bin asked.
"There's an old man and a child in a more serious condition, and they have been sent to the emergency room." Zheng Kaixuan sighed. Once there were poisoned people who died, the nature of the case would be serious.
At the same time, Zheng Kaixuan was also a little worried. This case wasn't easy. Although Han Bin's criminal investigation skills were outstanding, whether he could become a qualified team leader was still to be seen …
