Xiao Yu received an assignment notice and immediately went to report to the Criminal Investigation Brigade, which is a permanent police division responsible for local criminal investigations.
He was one of five trainee police officers assigned to the brigade.
As a trainee, his daily tasks included serving tea, pouring water, making transcripts, attending meetings, and studying legal discussions.
Trainees do not have the power to enforce the law and can only participate in cases as an assistant and learn from more experienced officers.
The Criminal Investigation Brigade consists of around 60-70 people, including civilians, instructors, team leaders, and members.
Trainees like Xiao Yu will be assigned a "master" to guide them during their probationary period.
All of the officers in the Criminal Investigation Brigade are experienced investigators and will evaluate the trainees' abilities for two months.
While it's possible to continue working for the brigade after one year, it's not guaranteed.
The police force may seem to be in need of people, but it's best to avoid this industry if you don't have the necessary qualities.
Xiao Yu met some important leaders of the brigade and was assigned to work with Guo Qiang, a 39-year-old second-class police inspector who has a high rank but is still treated as an ordinary criminal investigator.
This is normal within the police system where rank doesn't necessarily correspond to position, but promotions are often based on rank.
Xiao Yu, who has lived two lifetimes, has good interpersonal skills.
He called his assigned mentor "Master" and offered him a pack of cigarettes as a sign of respect.
This is a common practice in many workplaces.
Those who fail to adapt to the workplace culture often struggle to fit in and may find it difficult to progress.
Xiao Yu is aware of this and has learned from his past mistakes of not being socially savvy.
Guo Qiang accepted the cigarette with a smile and nodded in agreement.
It's common for police officers to smoke, with about eight out of ten officers being smokers.
Late nights and overtime work are also standard in the job, leading to high work pressure.
Having a cigarette can be a way to refresh oneself during these demanding times.
Xiao Yu smiled and handed the cigarette case to Guo Qiang, telling him that he doesn't smoke.
Guo Qiang was impressed by Xiao Yu's sophisticated behavior and noticed that he has something special.
Smart and quick-witted trainees are appreciated more by experienced investigators, as they can easily grasp the skills required to solve cases.
Guo Qiang led Xiao Yu to learn more by taking him to a crime scene on the first day itself.
The crime scene is crucial in any investigation, and they found themselves in a warehouse, looking at the plaster lines and bloodstains.
Guo Qiang explained that the case occurred four days ago and the victim died from being hit on the back of the head with a blunt object, but the murder weapon has not been found yet.
The police suspect the workers in the factory, but most of them have alibis.
Two women are currently identified as suspects, but they do not seem to have the strength to cause such severe injuries.
The police have been given a two-week deadline to solve the case.
Guo Qiang asked Xiao Yu if he was scared after hearing all this.
Guo Qiang assumed that Xiao Yu was stunned because he was intimidated by the murder case, but in reality, Xiao Yu was lost in thought because the system, which had been inactive for a long time, had spoken up.
[Ding, Police God case registration is open. ]
[The host can choose to sign in or refuse. ]
[If the visa is refused, the next check-in time will be one year later. ]
[If you sign in, the host needs to participate in solving the case and reward system capabilities. ]
[The host successfully solves the case, and the host system skills will be rewarded again. ]
[The host failed to solve the case, and recovered the ability given to the host by the system. ]
[Excuse me, host, do you want to sign in? ]
You still need to ask? Xiao Yu said to himself: sign in!
