She knocked, heard the director's "Come in" from inside, and only then pushed the door open and stepped in, "Director, you wanted to see me?"
"Xiao Song, you are here?" Chen Dafei adjusted his glasses and set down the papers in his hands, "Have a seat. Tell me about the bank robbery case. Any progress?"
"Director, our criminal police team has set up the 313 special task force and sent men out to work from sketches and door-to-door checks, but there is still no word..." Song Lingshan reported carefully...
The case was in her hands. Yang Huaijun had recently been seconded by the provincial department to handle a case in a neighboring city, and would likely be promoted to deputy director once it was over, so all the business of the criminal team had fallen on Song Lingshan's shoulders.
Only after losing Yang Huaijun's shelter did Song Lingshan learn how crushing the pressure on the head of a task force could be. In the past Yang Huaijun had made the decisions and she had only led men to carry them out, never thinking about pressure from all sides... Now leading the team herself, Song Lingshan finally felt how hard it was.
But however hard it was, she would grit her teeth and see it through. There were no weaklings among the Song family. If she gave up like this and slunk back to the Song family, she would be despised by the rest of the household...
"Push harder. I will not belabor how important this case is. It involves Gu Pengzhan's daughter, so it must be cracked quickly! Bring the suspects to justice!" Chen Dafei said, "So, give me a deadline. How long before you can solve it?"
"Well..." Song Lingshan hesitated briefly. In the past it had always been Captain Yang Huaijun who made his pledge in the director's office, and this time it had fallen to her... Though she had no confidence at all, with the heavy burden now on her shoulders, Song Lingshan still said, "Director, I promise to bring the suspects to justice within half a month... no, within ten days!"
When Song Lingshan said "half a month," she saw Chen Dafei's brow lift slightly, and hurriedly changed it to ten days!
"Good, then it is settled. Ten days. I will wait for your good news!" Chen Dafei nodded with satisfaction.
Back in her own office, Song Lingshan sat with her delicate brows knitted tight, thinking hard about where Yang Huaijun would have started if he were here... But after long thought, she could only rub her temples in frustration, without a single clue!
The facts of every case were different, and the methods for solving them could not simply be reused... Just as Song Lingshan was struggling, the telephone on her desk suddenly rang. She hastened to pick it up, "Hello, Song Lingshan of the criminal police team."
"Captain Song, this is Lou Liqiang from the Outer City Sub-bureau..." Lou Liqiang was captain of the Outer City Sub-bureau criminal team, "Captain Song, we received a report that two male corpses were found in an abandoned warehouse in the suburbs. From our preliminary identification, one should be Lu Jieyan, the ringleader of the 313 bank robbery, nicknamed Baldy... The other body should be one of his men, his identity still to be confirmed..."
