The Forensic Doctor Better Than a Detective Chapter 441 - 258: Reopening a Decade-Old Cold Case

As soon as the words fell, Jiang An suddenly stood up from his seat.

His hands tightly gripped the hem of his clothes, his lips trembling slightly with excitent, as if sothing was stuck in his throat, making it hard for him to speak.

His chest heaved violently, and his eyes were slightly red.

At this mont, he leaned forward slightly, his eyes casually sweeping towards the podium in front of him, with Wan and Zhang Yean sitting close by his side.

Wan was intently staring at the notebook in front of him, occasionally jotting down notes with his pen.

No one had ntioned that he would be promoted to deputy team leader.

For a mont, Jiang An felt as if he had been struck by a bolt of electricity, his body instantly frozen.

He even wondered if there was sothing wrong with his ears, raising his hand to rub them and shaking his head vigorously, trying to clear his mind.

Although Jiang An didn’t co from a family of police officers.

But during his ti with the police force, he had heard about the internal appointnt rules of the police system.

For a young person to stand out and take on a leadership role in the police team was inherently difficult.

Moreover, he was still an officer in his probationary period.

Becoming the deputy team leader of the criminal investigation team seed like a pipe dream in the past.

What is the criminal investigation team?

It’s the sharp knife of the public security force, the frontline vanguard confronting cunning criminals.

How could such a highly practical criminal investigation team allow a yet-to-be-formalized trainee officer to take a leadership position?

With full of doubts, he slowly turned his head, his neck seed wound-up, chanically and stiffly, looking at Li Jian sitting next to him.

Li Jian’s mouth ford a slight smile, giving a small thumbs-up towards him.

The thumb stayed steadily in the air for a few seconds, as if carrying endless affirmation.

Soon after, Mr. Zhang looked warmly at Jiang An, who was sitting in the front row.

With a solemn expression, he straightened his back, cleared his throat, and said, "Comrade Jiang An has perford excellently, and as the deputy director, I am very proud."

"Our Jiangcheng Criminal Investigation Team is famous for its ability to fight tough battles, and Jiang An is an outstanding representative of it."

"Over the years, so many predecessors have turned their hair gray to protect Jiangcheng."

"Devoting their entire lives to the cause of criminal investigation, they are the backbone of our team."

"Now, this young man, Jiang An, despite his youth, has unlimited potential. I believe he can lead everyone to greater heights."

After a brief pause, Mr. Zhang lifted his chin slightly and looked around the entire venue.

He continued, "I’ve been a cop for nearly 30 years, climbing up from a young rookie step by step."

"I’ve witnessed the growth of many colleagues and have seen our criminal investigation team solve countless major cases."

"Behind each case is everyone’s sweat and effort."

"As the sharp blade of Jiangcheng, we must constantly hone ourselves, practice our skills, to keep Jiangcheng safe."

"I hope Comrade Jiang An can quickly adapt to his new role, fully showcase his talents, and lead the team to solve more cases and achieve greater accomplishnts."

In an instant, the entire venue erupted with thunderous applause, like surging waves that went on for a long ti.

Everyone stood up, clapping their hands vigorously, their faces full of excitent and enthusiasm.

Soon after, Mr. Zhang slightly bent over, supported himself on the conference table, and stood up, saying, "I have so matters to attend to, so I’ll take my leave first."

Mr. Ma and Li Jian quickly stood up, escorting Mr. Zhang to the elevator with one on each side.

Mr. Ma slightly hunched over, a polite smile on his face, occasionally turning to say sothing to Mr. Zhang.

Li Jian followed closely, his steps brisk, nodding in agreent from ti to ti.

At this mont, the venue was abuzz with discussions, and all eyes were on Jiang An.

Zhang Yean and Wan, sitting on either side of Jiang An, seed like they were in a dream.

With a playful expression on his face, Wan leaned close to Jiang An’s ear and whispered, "Co on, confess, are you the long-lost son of Mr. Ma?"

Jiang An smiled softly, shook his hand lightly, leaned back slightly, and said quietly, "You two stop teasing ."

The other colleagues in the venue also looked full of envy.

However, no one was too surprised.

After all, in the field of criminal investigation, those capable occupy the position, while the incompetent withdraw, never caring about seniority or hierarchy.

Everyone knows that solving cases is the most powerful proof.

If a leader cannot solve cases, the entire criminal investigation team suffers.

In minor cases, soone might be punished or given a derit for dereliction of duty.

In major cases, they might be transferred, losing face.

So in this team, as long as one can solve cases, everyone can share in the glory and receive comndations.

Two minutes later, Mr. Ma and Li Jian returned to the venue side by side.

Mr. Ma raised his hand and gestured for silence, his arm drawing an arc in the air.

He then said, "Brothers and sisters present, Mr. Zhang has just read the appointnt letter."

"From now on, we have another leadership mber in our criminal investigation team, Deputy Team Leader Jiang An."

"I hope everyone can fully support Jiang An’s work, work together to solve more cases, combat cri, and bring peace to Jiangcheng."

As he spoke, he turned to look at Jiang An, his gaze full of expectations, nodding slightly, "Comrade Jiang An, as newly promoted leadership, please co up and say a few words to everyone."

At this mont, Jiang An only felt his heart pounding like a drum.

As the saying goes, there are three great joys in life: achieving success in examinations, the wedding night, and eting an old friend in a foreign place.

To him, this sudden promotion brought joy no less than passing the highest examination.
