Chapter 710: Chapter 710: The New Official Takes Office
Crime Scene Investigation Office.
"What?"
Yang Lin almost dropped the mango he was holding.
"You’re going on a job transfer?"
Yang Sen and Old Bai also looked shocked.
The three of them were completely baffled.
If Lu Chuan leaves, what will happen to the Crime Scene Office?
Although everyone knew that with Lu Chuan’s abilities and achievements, it was only a matter of time before he got promoted.
Just like last time when Liu Guodong was promoted to deputy team leader, Lu Chuan took over his position.
Even though Lu Chuan had only been working for two years, no one thought there was an issue with his promotion.
Everyone thought it was only natural.
After cracking so many major cases and contributing so much to the Criminal Investigation Team, a promotion was certainly well-deserved.
But what they hadn’t expected was for Lu Chuan to be transferred so soon this time.
"You little rascal, come back and not even drop by my place?"
As they spoke, the office door opened; it was Liu Guodong.
"Master."
Lu Chuan quickly stood up.
After becoming the deputy team leader of the Criminal Investigation Team, Liu Guodong continued to work in the Crime Scene Office until Yang Lin arrived and took over.
Lu Chuan had gone to Liu Guodong’s office this morning, but Liu Guodong was in a meeting and wasn’t there.
"I went to your place this morning, but you were in a meeting, so I didn’t see you."
The gift Lu Chuan had for Liu Guodong had already been sent back earlier.
"Congratulations, the High-tech Zone Criminal Investigation Team is a great place."
Liu Guodong had heard about the news during the meeting earlier.
"It feels too sudden."
"What’s so sudden about it? Getting a job transfer to the High-tech Zone Criminal Investigation Team as captain is a rare opportunity for you."
"Our Crime Scene Office, after all, has a very narrow professional scope."
"Future development is very limited, but going to the Criminal Investigation Team is different; it tests your overall work capabilities."
"Going there will be beneficial for your future growth."
Liu Guodong was right about that.
Although several leaders have emerged from the Crime Scene Office over the years, most of them have been mid-level deputies.
Even if promoted to the position of bureau chief, it would be like Wang Kai, starting as deputy director.
Even though he is now a political commissioner, after a few years, there might be an opening, and he could fill a gap as a director.
But Wang Kai and Lu Chuan are different.
Wang Kai had experience as a detective before joining Crime Scene, not purely as a technical officer.
Lu Chuan, having entered the Crime Scene Office right after graduation to engage in technical work, certainly faced very narrow promotion paths.
Without overall work experience, it would be hard to become a leader.
But with this temporary position as captain of the High-tech Zone Criminal Investigation Team, it’s entirely different.
Lu Chuan could say he had already broken free from the confines of the Crime Scene Office.
As long as he doesn’t perform too badly or make major mistakes during this period, he might well be directly appointed as captain next year.
Lu Chuan scratched his head; he was aware of the intricacies involved.
Going to the High-tech Zone to be the temporary captain of the Criminal Investigation Team was beneficial for his career, with no downsides.
He just felt it was a bit sudden.
After spending a nice Spring Festival, he was notified the day after his return that he would be going on a job transfer.
"Don’t make any plans for tonight, Political Commissioner Wang arranged for everyone to gather together."
Everyone nodded.
Actually, this meal was likely to celebrate Lu Chuan’s transfer.
Even though the captain of the High-tech Zone Criminal Investigation Team and the Crime Scene Office Director were on the same level, the power they wield was entirely different.
The Crime Scene Office Director only enjoyed certain privileges.
He only had three people under him.
But going there would be different.
The High-tech Zone Criminal Investigation Team is the largest team in Haizhou City’s system, with over 100 people and three subordinate detective squads.
They have a separate office in the High-tech Zone.
This move for Lu Chuan could be considered as a leap up the career ladder.
Noon.
"You’re going on a job transfer?"
Forensic Doctor Shen asked in surprise; evidently, she wasn’t aware of this matter either.
"My dad didn’t tell me."
"What would he tell you? Captain Qin said the city bureau decided it yesterday afternoon."
"Job transfers are routine work, conducted every year, and there are seven or eight others besides me."
"Something’s off," Forensic Doctor Shen shook her head, "job transfers are usually for deputy positions, not primary ones."
"By the way, where’s Captain Yuan?"
"I heard Captain Qin say he went to the city bureau, but it’s unclear what he’s working on."
"Ask Uncle when you get home tonight, and you’ll know."
Vice Director Shen certainly knew.
But he really wasn’t the one who facilitated this.
The relationship between Vice Director Shen and Lu Chuan was well-known; although Shen Yan and Lu Chuan weren’t married yet, they were in a relationship, so sometimes he needed to avoid suspicion.
"Political Commissioner Wang arranged a dinner for tonight; I’ll ask about the situation then."
"Yeah, but transferring to the Criminal Investigation Team as captain is good for your future development, it’s a good thing..."
Afternoon.
"Ha ha, Captain Lu! Congratulations!"
Zhang Hui came swinging his big arms to offer his congratulations.
The news of Lu Chuan’s transfer had already spread by the morning.
Zhang Hui was out on a task in the morning, but as soon as he returned in the afternoon and heard the news, he immediately came to congratulate Lu Chuan.
"Alright, don’t tease me."
Lu Chuan smiled wryly, "I know my capabilities well; if it’s about solving a case or technical work, I’m fine with that."
"But the Criminal Investigation Team..."
Zhang Hui waved his hand, "For you, it’s a piece of cake."
"Although the Criminal Investigation Team is bigger, it’s all the same. In the end, for us cops, it’s all about solving cases, as long as you can solve cases, there’s no problem."
"If you can’t solve cases, no matter who you are, nobody will respect you."
Zhang Hui was spot-on with this point.
Compared to other government departments, for police work, it all boils down to solving cases.
Other coordination, communication, and overall management, although important, aren’t on the same level as solving cases.
In the police system, be it the Criminal Investigation Team, the police station, or the Criminal Investigation Team, among others, solving cases is the most crucial performance indicator.
But Lu Chuan’s transfer this time was different.
He was transferred, meaning his position as Crime Scene Office Director still stood.
He could still leverage the resources of the Criminal Investigation Team.
This was a good thing for the High-tech Zone Criminal Investigation Team.
The happiest ones now should be the High-tech Zone Public Security Bureau.
Lu Chuan’s transfer to the High-tech Zone’s Criminal Investigation Team could be seen as the city bureau’s biggest support to the High-tech Zone Public Security Bureau.
Also, let’s not forget, Lu Chuan is not just great at solving cases, but also a super rich kid.
The leaders of the High-tech Zone Public Security Bureau were planning that as soon as Lu Chuan took office, they would establish joint projects with the Qiangsheng Group.
The Criminal Investigation Team received a billion...
Even if it’s just a little, a ten million would do.
The Public Security Bureau... is quite poor.
February 21st, Monday, Lu Chuan officially took office!
