Chapter 636: Chapter 636: Ashes in the Wilderness
Because of participation in some major cases, leaders and criminal investigation experts from the provincial department, and other counties and city criminal investigation teams all know each other.
There are even some relations that Qin Yong doesn’t know, but Lu Chuan has encountered.
Apart from solving cases in Haizhou City, many criminal investigation team members in Tianzhou City, Qinzhou City, and other teams owe Lu Chuan favors.
This is networking.
This is the accumulation brought by experience.
To put it bluntly, now Lu Chuan’s reputation might be more influential than Qin Yong’s, even if he leaves Haizhou City for other cities.
Nevertheless, Lu Chuan’s promotion this time is an exceptional one.
According to general management regulations, ordinary police officers cannot be promoted within three years.
The key to Lu Chuan’s promotion is his award of an individual first-class merit.
Receiving a first-class merit allows for a one-year relaxation on the promotion time limit.
Even so, the process of Lu Chuan’s promotion is extremely complex.
On one hand, it required a collective discussion within the Haizhou City Public Security Bureau, which then reports to the relevant provincial department for record, and only after approval, can he be exceptionally promoted.
On the other hand, the requirements for the democratic evaluation process are also stricter.
Over the years in Haizhou City, exceptional promotions have always been handled cautiously.
To speak frankly, they have almost never happened.
Not only does this situation exist in Haizhou City’s public security bureau, but it also exists in any other department.
After all, it’s just a matter of waiting one or two more years, and no one is willing to take such a big risk for one or two years.
Lu Chuan once heard of an auxiliary policeman from the neighboring province transitioning to a formal police officer.
That auxiliary policeman was also a technical detective, doing auxiliary work for over 20 years.
He worked in the criminal investigation team from the county bureau all the way up to the city bureau, and eventually became an expert in technical criminal investigations at the provincial department.
This auxiliary policeman was proficient in fingerprint comparison, successfully completing tens of thousands of tasks over more than twenty years!
Twenty years, tens of thousands of tasks!
Only then was he able to become a formal policeman!
Why?
This is the difficulty of exceptional promotion.
That evening, Liu Guodong led, and Wang Kai from the city bureau attended, gathering again with some leaders who had been involved in crime scene investigations over the years.
"Lu, congratulations, congratulations!"
"Over the years, you’re the youngest director in our crime scene investigation office."
"A promising future, a promising future indeed."
"Come, Lu, have a drink!"
Amidst the clinking glasses, all were congratulating Lu Chuan.
Those who could leave the crime scene investigation office were either those who once led the office or had connections to transition to other departments after leaving the investigation team.
However, regardless, those sitting here were either still working in crime scene investigation.
Like Yang Sen, Old Bai.
Or at least middle-level leaders.
Of course, Wang Kai held the highest position, currently the political commissar of the Haizhou City Public Security Bureau.
In his recent promotion, he also took a crucial step forward.
After all, he was the deputy director in charge of criminal investigations, originally ranked as the third deputy director.
After the political commissar transferred to another area’s director position, Wang Kai took his place.
Although not in charge of any actual power departments, the position is higher.
As long as things remain steady, in a few years, he might become a director in other places.
Compared to other systems, the public security system has two advantages in promotions and appointments.
The first advantage is the ability to transfer horizontally within the city, as the entire public security bureau is managed by the local party committee.
Secondly, they can also be appointed to positions in other cities under the provincial department’s appointment.
Lu Chuan responded one by one, with a humble smile.
To Lu Chuan, whether he is promoted or not may not be that important.
What interests him in being a police officer is solving cases itself.
Of course, getting promoted or climbing up the ranks is also a recognition of his own value.
Additionally, the crime scene investigation office plays a vital role in case-solving processes, which goes without saying.
Although it hasn’t been established for long, it has produced quite a few talents.
Those sitting here are proof enough.
At barely 24 years old, where Lu Chuan can reach in the future, no one dares to imagine.
Those most pleased with this are Lu Qiqiang and his wife.
Their son, a police officer for less than two years, gets promoted, which is indeed a joyous matter.
The Lu family is vast, but when it comes to members in official positions, Lu Chuan is quite unique.
Besides Lu Chuan’s parents, Vice Director Shen’s family is quite happy with the matter too.
The so-called promising son-in-law refers to someone like Lu Chuan.
The next evening, Shen Yan relayed her father’s request, bringing Lu Chuan home for dinner.
"Come, Lu, try this."
"Come, Lu, taste this. Auntie has been stewing chicken soup all day, see how it tastes?"
Although Mother Shen holds a non-essential position in the city bureau, and due to Director Shen’s influence, despite working in the bureau, she is actually part of the supporting unit under the public security bureau.
However, this doesn’t mean Mother Shen holds a low status.
On the contrary, the gossip ability of middle-aged women is remarkably strong.
Every time there’s a promotion or appointment for bureau cadres, the first ones to spread the news are these middle-aged ladies.
No choice, proximity to the key places, without any meetings, one already knows what’s going on on the pillow side.
Recently, the most discussed topic in the office is Lu Chuan’s achievements.
Such a young middle-level cadre, with outstanding capability!
Having such capability is one thing, but he is also good-looking, and most importantly, he is wealthy—being the son of the Qiangsheng Group!
Alas...
All those aunties with daughters envy Mother Shen to no end.
Such a golden son-in-law...
"Lu, what are your thoughts on the bureau’s personnel adjustments for you?"
"Uncle, you know me, I don’t care much about these things. After all, it’s all about solving cases."
Director Shen...
Okay, saying some things to this son-in-law has little effect.
When others get promoted, there are concerns about corruption, going astray, or similar issues.
This one...
It’s fortunate if he doesn’t corrupt others.
Making a move in the billions, who can corrupt him?
Thinking of this, Director Shen raised his glass: "Come, Lu, have a drink! Congratulations on your promotion!"
The Moutai his son-in-law sent was truly delectable!
And the person happiest about this should be Shen Yan, Forensic Doctor Shen.
Is it important for women to be beautiful?
It’s important, very important indeed.
But most importantly, one must have good judgment.
Forensic Doctor Shen considers her judgment quite good.
On the third day of Lu Chuan’s promotion, the Lu family held a grand celebratory banquet.
Of course, it was for family members only.
"Little Chuan, our family isn’t short of money, but these years, none of these little brats have brought glory to our ancestors. Grandfather sees that this crucial task falls on your shoulders..."
Regarding this grandson, Lu Jianguo is exceedingly satisfied.
The plaques for first-class merits are already hanging thrice.
When he dies, he’ll tell his ancestors that someone from the Lu family attained three first-class merit plaques.
Which ancestor wouldn’t boast about how impressive they are?
Peaceful days are always short-lived.
On December 1st, just one day after the announcement of Lu Chuan’s appointment, an incident was reported by the Tianshan District Criminal Investigation Team.
In North Mountain, ashes suspected to be human bones were discovered.
