In the captain's office of the Municipal Criminal Investigation Division.
Ding Xifeng was looking down at the documents with a serious look on his face.
"Knock, knock …" There was a knock on the door.
"Come in."
The door was pushed open and a man came in. It was Ma Jingbo, the captain of Squadron Two.
"Captain." Ma Jingbo greeted him.
Ding Xifeng waved his hand. "Take a seat."
"Yes."
Ma Jingbo nodded and sat on the sofa on the side.
"Knock, knock …" A moment later, there was another knock on the door.
"Come in."
Tao Bo, the captain of Squadron One, also came in.
Tao Bo looked around the office. "Captain, you were looking for me?"
Ding Xifeng put down the documents in his hand and stood up to stretch. "Have a seat. I bought some new tea. Have a try."
Hearing this, the two squadron captains immediately sat up straight. It was not easy to drink a captain's tea.
Ding Xifeng made a pot of hot water and walked over with a tea set. While fiddling with the tea set, he said, "It's almost the end of the year. You have worked hard this year."
"It's the captain who has worked hard. We are just running errands." Ma Jingbo smiled.
Tao Bo curled his lips and didn't speak.
"The reason why I called you here today is mainly to talk about two things. The first is the issue of duty. This year's situation is quite complicated. Considering the stability of Fujima City, more people should be on duty to deal with emergencies." Ding Xifeng said.
"Captain, we are prepared. Our Squadron One will take turns on vacation and leave at least one team on duty," Tao Bo said seriously.
"The case still needs to be investigated. We can't relax, but we can't be too high-profile either in case the suspect is provoked. We have to let the people have a peaceful New Year." Ding Xifeng said.
"Yes."
"Also, you should have seen the news last night. You must pay attention to the situation. If there is anything unusual, report it immediately." Ding Xifeng showed a solemn expression.
"The leaders of the municipal bureau had a meeting this morning and issued a new instruction. The cafeteria will provide meals as usual, but don't eat in the cafeteria during this time. You can take your meals to the office after you get them. It's best to get the meals in batches."
"Yes."
"The Publicity Department has detailed documents on this. Read them carefully. Don't ignore them."
"Got it."
Ding Xifeng pointed at Ma Jingbo. "How's the work arrangement for your Team Two going?"
Ma Jingbo hesitated for a moment. "The cases on hand are almost all settled."
"I remember that the Snowman Case is being investigated by Yuhua Branch. Is there any progress? Do we need to send someone to guide the investigation? "
Ma Jingbo was a little embarrassed. "I just asked the Yuhua Branch yesterday. The murderer of the Snowman Case has been arrested."
"Yes." Ding Xifeng was a little surprised. "You're quite efficient at solving cases."
"Compared to the Criminal Investigation Team of Laiping City, the Criminal Investigation Team of Yu Hua Branch is more elite, and they have collected more evidence. By cross-referencing the two cases, the probability of solving the case is much higher," Ma Jingbo explained.
"I remember that the person in charge of the case was Han Bin."
"Yes, young man, you are quite capable," Ma Jingbo praised. He was also a little surprised that he could solve the snowman case so quickly.
Ding Xifeng nodded and said nothing.
The snowman case was solved. What else could he say?
Admiration was one thing, but Han Bin was not a member of the city's Criminal Investigation Unit.
…
Dew River.
Qin Island's pollution control was very strong. Although the Dew River was not wide, it was very clear.
Beside the river, two old men in their sixties were fishing on horseback.
The two old men were dressed very thickly. One was wearing a black down jacket, and the other was wearing a thick cotton hat.
The old man in the black down jacket rubbed his hands. "This guy has been here for almost an hour, and I only caught a little guy."
"You should be happy. I haven't even caught one yet," the old man in the hat snorted.
"The fish in winter are all in deep water and don't like to bite the hook. It's better to fish in summer," the old man in the black down jacket said.
"Isn't that something we can't do? Let's just take it as a break, "the old man in the hat said.
"Yeah, it's annoying."
"Fine, we'll just take care of ourselves." The old man in the hat said nonchalantly, "How's your family's New Year's shopping?"
"My son and daughter-in-law did it. It saved us a lot of work this year. Twenty kilograms of Thick Hill Pig, two pork knuckles, five kilograms of beef, five kilograms of lamb, two chickens, and a box of ribbonfish. "The old man in the black down jacket listed.
"Wow, your family has a lot of New Year's goods." The old man in the hat smacked his lips.
The old man in the black down jacket chuckled. Suddenly, he felt the bamboo pole sink and the fishing line tighten. "It's on the hook."
"Wow, I didn't catch one, and you caught one." The old man in the hat was a bit envious.
"It's just for fun. Yo, this fish is quite strong." The old man in the black down jacket's arms were shaking.
"Quick, I'll help you catch it." The old man in the hat picked up the net on the side.
"Yo, this fish isn't small."
"Yeah, I saw it. Wow, it's at least half a meter long." The old man in the hat was a bit envious and surprised. He had never heard of such a big fish in the Dew River.
"It's coming up. Quick, I'm afraid the line will break." The old man in the black down jacket was having a hard time.
The old man with the hat took a closer look at the river. Just as he was about to use the net to catch the fish, he was shocked. He leaned back and sat on the ground. "Oh my God, what the hell is this?"
The old man in the down jacket was also shocked. "A … human head!"
Although the two old men were old, they were also shocked. They threw away their fishing poles and ran to the riverbank.
From their backs, they thought they were two young men.
…
Yu Hua Branch, Criminal Investigation Team Three, Team Two Office.
The room was very quiet. Everyone was sitting at the table. What was different from usual was that everyone was wearing a mask.
Han Bin was sitting there looking at his phone. He seemed to be chatting with someone.
After a while, Li Hui couldn't hold it in anymore. "Damn, what is this?"
"Yeah, it was fine yesterday. When the news came out, everyone peed their pants." Zhao Ming laughed.
"I admire those people." Tian Li sighed.
Han Bin had a bitter look on his face. "It's the same for us police officers. We have to go when something happens."
"At least we can go home for the new year." Li Hui chuckled.
Who didn't want to go home for the new year?
Police officers were people too. After a year of work, they wanted to reunite with their families and have a reunion dinner.
"It's too early." Han Bin's words left his mouth.
Slap.
Everyone looked at him in unison.
Han Bin stood up and said firmly, "Get ready. We're leaving the scene."
