The Forensic Doctor Better Than a Detective Chapter 716 388: New Opportunities and Challenges (Part 2)

"That boy Jiang An really didn't let down! This ti he truly brought so glory to our Jiangcheng Criminal Investigation!"

Standing beside him, Li couldn't help but smile, "Mr. Ma, you're absolutely right."

"Our progress over the years is evident to all."

"Although Chuan City's Criminal Investigation has consistently remained in the top three in provincial performance rankings, we've managed to climb from below the top fifteen to the top ten."

"However, having Chuan City express such sincere gratitude is truly a first."

Mr. Ma gently placed the thank-you letter on his desk, his eyes glowing, "In the field of criminal investigation, data speaks, and strength is the best business card."

"As long as our case-handling skills improve, we'll naturally earn the respect of our peers."

At this point, he paused, with a touch of pride in his voice, "However, I didn't expect Jiang An and his team to have grown to such a level."

"You should know, the captain of Chuan City's Criminal Investigation Brigade is an expert who has cracked several major cases under ministry supervision."

As he spoke, Mr. Ma suddenly rembered sothing and looked up, "By the way, when are they coming back?"

Li quickly replied, "I've already called Mr. Jiang."

"They set off early this morning and are expected to arrive around ten-thirty."

"Great!"

Mr. Ma's spirits lifted, and he imdiately instructed, "Notify Li Jian and Zhang Chao to co to my office."

"We need to prepare properly to welco our triumphant colleagues back ho."

Then, he glanced at the thank-you letter on the desk again, his smile deepening.

"This ti, we must summarize the experience well and let the entire team learn from it."

This is not just a simple letter of thanks, but a testant to Jiangcheng Criminal Investigation reaching new heights.

He seed to already see Jiangcheng steadily climbing up the provincial criminal investigation system's ranking chart.

This once little-known team is writing a new legend with their professional competence.

Fifteen minutes later, Li Jian and Zhang Chao quickly walked through the corridor on the third floor of the municipal Public Security Bureau.

As soon as they reached the director's office door, Li Jian noticed a faint tea aroma wafting through the slightly ajar door.

He gently knocked, and Mr. Ma's robust voice imdiately ca from inside, "Co in!"

As they pushed the door open, Li Jian keenly captured Mr. Ma's undeniable smile at the corner of his mouth.

"Mr. Ma, is there good news so early in the morning? Judging by your cheerful expression, do you have so happy news to announce?"

Zhang Chao also jokingly added, "Yes, Director, this early morning ergency call has put our nerves on edge."

Mr. Ma burst into laughter, the wrinkles around his eyes relaxed, "Good news, indeed good news. And it's a double blessing!"

As he spoke, he got up, moved around his desk, and personally poured each of them a cup of tea.

In the green porcelain cups, the erald green tea leaves unfolded in the water, emitting a refreshing fragrance.

Li Jian and Zhang Chao exchanged a glance, seeing confusion and curiosity in each other's eyes.

Zhang Chao took the tea cup and couldn't help but ask, "Director, don't keep us in suspense."

"What are these two pieces of good news this early morning?"

"Have a sip of tea first!"

Mr. Ma gestured, "This is freshly picked Mingqian Longjing from this year, saved especially for sharing during good news."

Li Jian took a sip, letting the tea's fragrance fill his mouth, but his mind was focused entirely on the "double blessing" Mr. Ma ntioned.

He put down the cup and half-jokingly said, "Mr. Ma, if you don't spill the beans, no matter how fragrant this tea is, I can't taste it."

"What exactly is the good news, making feel like a cat on a hot tin roof?"

Only then did Mr. Ma slightly lower his head, eyes sweeping over to the beige envelope on the desk, and said mysteriously, "The answer is in this envelope. See for yourselves."

Li Jian and Zhang Chao imdiately leaned in. The envelope looked ordinary, but the large gilt letters spelling out "Chuan City Public Security Bureau" were exceptionally eye-catching.

Li Jian's fingers paused slightly upon touching the envelope, a hint of doubt crossed his mind, "Chuan City? Why would they send us a letter?"

Zhang Chao also frowned, "Could it be a cross-regional cooperation notice for a case?"

But on second thought, if it were a case notice, the Director wouldn't call it "good news."

The two couldn't wait to take out the letter.

When the bold black characters "Thank-you Letter" leapt into view, Li Jian's pupils contracted abruptly.

He quickly scanned the contents, growing increasingly astonished as he read.

Zhang Chao's hand involuntarily trembled, nearly spilling the tea.

With over twenty years in criminal investigation, he was all too familiar with the operations of the Chuan City Criminal Investigation Brigade.

That team is known for their exceptional ability, a bit of arrogance embedded in their bones, and they hardly ever ask for help from other units, let alone issue such humble thank-you letters.

Mr. Ma leisurely blew away the leaves floating on the tea's surface and looked up to study the astonished expressions of his two subordinates, deliberately asking, "What? Don't believe your eyes?"

"No, it's not that we don't believe..."

Li Jian's voice was a little tight, "It's just that it's all so unexpected."

"Jiang An, he... actually managed to make Chuan City so..."

"So willing to concede?"

Mr. Ma took over the conversation, wearing a gratifying smile, "That Jiang An, indeed, he hasn't let us down."

"When I promoted him to deputy captain of the criminal investigation team, it was because I saw that potential in him."

"But to be honest, his performance this ti exceeded my expectations."

Mr. Ma stood up, hands behind his back, and strolled to the window, where sunlight outlined a golden edge around him, "Do you know?"
