Chapter 67 Chen Mo's Thoughts.

Yang Jianguo's expression was very unsightly.

With one violent case after another, he, the Instructor, had just been scolded by the Director.

Although the solve rate was high, the sheer number of cases meant, to some extent, that the police station hadn't done a good job with public security.

Moreover, the nature of the cases was getting more heinous each time.

This time, it actually involved cannibals.

What on earth is going on!

In a place as large as Muhe, how could so many beasts be bred!

Despite his poor expression, he still possessed a sense of composure.

He ordered everyone at the scene to observe a moment of silence for the three victims.

...

A moment later, the silence ended.

"Attention!" Yang Jianguo's eyes were like torches as he scanned the faces of everyone present.

"Recently, violent cases have been occurring one after another in our Muhe!"

"Although the cases have been solved and I know everyone is very happy, I also hope that while you're happy, a sliver of shame can take root in your hearts!"

"If the police station's deterrence were sufficient, criminals would certainly not be this rampant!"

After he finished speaking, everyone, including Chen Mo, lowered their heads.

Strictly speaking, there was nothing wrong with what Instructor Yang said.

The frequent occurrence of criminal cases was indeed their responsibility as police officers.

Don't say that solving a case can make up for a fault; in the police department, having no cases at all is the greatest merit!

Solving a case can only be considered making amends for one's faults!

The common people would love for the police station to have no cases at all; it would be best if they were idle all day.

"I'm sorry, Instructor. As the captain, I bear an inescapable responsibility; it has nothing to do with the brothers."

Long Hao knew that what was said just now was all groundwork; what came next would likely be the disciplinary results.

The police officers at the scene also looked nervous.

If this were just one case, there would be a victory feast by now.

But with so many cases, it became a problem, especially since they had been happening continuously for several days.

They hadn't encountered this before.

Smack!

A palm landed on Long Hao's shoulder.

"Don't be nervous!"

"What I said was just to remind everyone. Solving the case is a good thing, of course, but you should also feel a sense of shame."

"In the future, everyone must keep working hard and strive to nip evil in the bud!"

After Instructor Yang finished his speech, everyone felt a surge of resolve.

"Yes!"

Afterward, Long Hao began to direct the men to perform the final cleanup of the scene.

"Chen Mo!"

Just as Chen Mo was about to go help, he was suddenly called out by Instructor Yang.

"Instructor Yang."

Looking at Chen Mo's young face, he showed a look of gratification.

"I hope you don't misunderstand the meaning behind my words just now."

Chen Mo was startled for a moment, then nodded.

Instructor Yang's meaning was very simple: his words just now could be suspected of downplaying the merit of solving this case.

Now he was expressing his true thoughts; solving the case was a merit, and the reward should be given as it deserved.

These two things had to be kept separate.

Otherwise, if one knew the case was solved but still faced punishment in the end, who would still want to do the work?

"I've seen your performance in these cases. Both the Director and I are very relieved to have chosen you to go to the provincial capital."

"In another half a month or so, it will be time to set off. I believe you're also clear on what this trip means."

After Yang Jianguo finished, his gaze remained fixed on Chen Mo.

He had to make Chen Mo realize that this opportunity was hard-won.

On the surface, it was a Pilot City plan, but in secret, it was a national-level criminal investigation competition.

With a slightly outstanding performance, his future prospects would be very smooth.

He didn't want a promising talent like Chen Mo to stay in a small place like Muhe forever.

He hoped even more that Chen Mo would stand higher and hold greater power.

In his heart, Chen Mo was a sharp sword hanging over the head of evil.

It would be a waste to aim it solely at Muhe; it should be aimed at the entire country!

"I understand."

Looking at Instructor Yang's serious expression, Chen Mo felt a bit moved.

This man was truly the kindest leader he had ever encountered.

If he didn't truly value him, he wouldn't have said these things to him privately.

"Do you really understand?" Yang Jianguo was still a bit worried.

"I really do! I'll strive to get a good ranking!"

Chen Mo responded solemnly.

Seeing this, the heart that had been hanging finally settled.

"Do you have any requests? For example, going on a trip to adjust your state, or perhaps resting at home for a few days? The police station will satisfy any request."

He wasn't exaggerating, because according to reliable sources, some provinces had already prepared many cases for specialized simulations in preparation for this competition.

Striving to adjust to the best state.

If Chen Mo could get a ranking, it would be of great benefit to both himself and the police station.

They had to give him the green light and couldn't hold him back.

"I do indeed want to take a break. I've been working around the clock these past few days."

He had thought before that once the betting agreement was over, he would take a rest.

"Alright, go to Long Hao for the approval slip anytime. Any other requests?"

Chen Mo shook his head; he really didn't have any other needs.

"This is my teacher. He handled a great many criminal cases before he retired. When you're resting, you can take Long Hao along to pay him a visit at his home."

As he spoke, Yang Jianguo handed him a slip of paper.

Without giving him a chance to refuse, he turned and left.

Looking at his receding back, Chen Mo tucked the slip of paper into his pocket.

This man truly hoped he could go further and stand higher in the future.

"Brother Mo, let us through."

He stepped slightly to the side as the three people in the large pot were carefully carried out.

Looking at the three unrecognizable faces, he pursed his lips.

And at this moment, the case was declared closed!

Pei Zhipeng would be sentenced to death.

At the same time, he would have to bear the civil liability for compensation to the three victims.

Chen Mo walked outside with the others, a hint of gloom on his face.

To be honest, he didn't feel the case had gone smoothly, and he wasn't satisfied in his heart.

The pressure of a C-rank case was somewhat high for him.

When he handled D-rank or D+ rank cases in the past, the criminals didn't have any elaborate action plans and would always leave all sorts of clues.

At that time, he had looked down on them slightly, thinking it was nothing more than that, to the point where he hadn't even realized he was becoming a bit complacent.

But Pei Zhipeng's detailed plan on the whiteboard had truly taught him a lesson.

In this case, if his own strength had been greater...

...would the three women not have had to die?

It wasn't that he was self-pitying, but rather that from now on, he had to make it a habit to perform debriefs.

Just like a weekly work summary, to identify his own shortcomings.

And the 'complacent' mentality had to be discarded from this moment on.

He had to urgently improve himself; the handling of this case could be described as stumbling and sluggish.

First going to Xiao Yuqing's home, then to Wen Lu's home; a great deal of time had been wasted in between.

"Chen Mo, there's no need to blame yourself. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't even know when we'd be able to catch Pei Zhipeng."

Long Hao noticed Chen Mo's expression was a bit off and spoke up to comfort him.

And what he said was the truth.

"That's right, Brother Mo. We've all seen your performance in this case. Although the people weren't saved, you certainly can't be blamed for that."

"If anyone's to blame, it's our own lack of ability for holding you back."

Little Zhang also hurried to take the responsibility.

Hearing these words, a light smile appeared on Chen Mo's face.

"I'm not blaming myself. Forget it, let's head back first."
