Chapter 478: Honorary Advisor
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
There was a lot of jeering on the internet.
CEO ng’s case was going through the judicial process and awaiting trial.
The gafilm “Before Doomsday” that the company had previously brought in was now in controversy.
It beca a hot issue.
All these events added to the heat.
The box office of the gafilm kept soaring—
Relevant departnts received complaints of the film “Before Doomsday”.
The widespread public opinion brought about greater pressure on the investigation of the case.
That afternoon, the hospital inford the police that despite their best efforts to rescue Shiliu, she didn’t survive the fall and died.
Another person connected to the case died.
The only difference was that the perpetrators of the previous three cases had survived while all three victims died.
Shiliu was the first perpetrator to have died.
...
Ding Yifan was very efficient.
That evening, the “zombie” case was now officially under Serious Cri Division One.
All these four cases that had to do with the ‘zombie’ drug would be treated as one.
At the building of Serious Cri Division One.
The lights at the office were bright like dayti—
Bai Muchuan called a eting and gathered all the relevant personnel for a case analysis eting for this case.
At the case analysis eting, every individual expressed their views and opinions regarding the case. So people believed that the four cases were both related and independent. The drug that made the perpetrators crazy contained the special ingredients that was used to make the “bath salts” drug. Maybe the person behind its sales was greedy for money or maybe they had other purposes—for example, to arouse panic on a nationwide scale.
Everyone at the eting acknowledged the possibility of such a thing happening.
Thus, the priority for them was to find and cut the source of the drug.
Police officers of the Narcotics Departnt who attended the eting said that they would speed up their investigation work, but at the sa ti, they also talked about the difficulties in their work.
The difference between this case with those that the Narcotics officers had been handling was that the perpetrators were as if being erased of so of their mories. They totally could not rember buying or taking such drugs.
If so, there could be two possibilities.
They could be lying to protect the mastermind...
Or they had consud it unknowingly.
If that was the case, the drug was not sold to them and making money was not the motive of the mastermind.
They were not in it for the money, and they even gave it away for free...
Was the mastermind behind all these a fool or sothing?
The detectives in Serious Cri Division One had a common voice in their heads.
Heaven’s Wrath!
This might very well be part of Operation Heaven’s Wrath.
In the eting, Bai Muchuan and the officers from various departnts discussed their missions and tasks.
At the sa ti, he also gave a suggestion to discuss with them.
—He was preparing to engage Zhan Se as the Honorary Advisor of Criminal Psychology for Serious Cri Division One.
Zhan Se was quite well known in the field of Criminal Psychology Research. It was a good thing if he could get her to beco their advisor.
Why “honorary” though?
Everyone looked at each other.
Bai Muchuan explained that Zhan Se was bogged down with her work. Hence, she could not work full ti with them. She would only co on a part-ti basis. Only when she had ti or if the case really required her help, then she would co.
“I’ve talked to Teacher Zhan on this. She said that she would get her personal assistant to help with the work here. It’s more convenient for her to be in touch with the progression here too.”
Personal assistant?
What a great idea!
Everyone had no objections to Bai Muchuan’s suggestion.
“If so, the eting’s dismissed.”
Quan Shaoteng touched his ears. “Why didn’t I know that my sister-in-law has a personal assistant?”
Bai Muchuan frowned slightly at him then stretched himself by pulling both arms back while rubbing his neck. “There are a lot of things you don’t know. Your workload has increased a lot recently, so Little Wu, just concentrate on your work and all will be fine.”
He had beco Little Wu now.
Hurhur! Quan Shaoteng snorted and left.
Everyone was not that curious over Zhan Se’s personal assistant.
After the eting was dismissed, twos and threes of them talked about the case while they left the eting room. Nobody asked him anything about the personal assistant.
Cheng Zheng caught up to Bai Muchuan slowly, and when there was no one near them, he asked him a question seriously.
“It’s Xiang Wan, right?”
The incandescent light in the eting room was above them.
Bai Muchuan narrowed his eyes slowly while he turned around to look at him.
Cheng Zheng returned his glance apathetically, but his eyes seed to flash a little. “I got it right.”
Bai Muchuan grunted a laugh. “Is there a problem?”
Cheng Zheng asked, “... Can I have a problem with it?”
Bai Muchuan replied, “No.”
Cheng Zheng gave him a casual glance. “Precisely. Besides, I welco her to Serious Cri Division One. We need her.”
We?
Bai Muchuan raised an eyebrow; his expression was still for a mont.
Recently, Cheng Zheng restrained himself, and when there was anything to do with Xiang Wan, he would use his words carefully.
No one knew what feelings he had towards Xiang Wan.
However, since he and Xiang Wan had gone on a blind date before, this little episode in their life made the jealous Sir Little Bai always guarded against him.
Love rival number one!
Bai Muchuan squinted his eyes in thought. “If you have doubts at work, why didn’t you say it during the eting?”
Cheng Zheng glanced at him as if he knew what Bai Muchuan was thinking. He peered at him coldly. “I’m talking to you here because of the purchase of the equipnt.”
“Mm,” replied Bai Muchuan, “say it.”
“Country X’s advanced forensic tracing equipnt is the most advanced in the world,” said Cheng Zheng, “I’ve asked and the reason we didn’t get approval is that Country X didn’t want to sell it to us—”
Bai Muchuan looked at him with his hands in his pockets. “So?”
“Miao Zichen can help us on this matter,” said Cheng Zheng after a montary pause, “she’s on good terms on the relevant research center in Country X. She could get that equipnt for us.”
Miao Zichen was Cheng Zheng’s junior.
She was the first to bring the news to them regarding Operation Heaven’s Wrath.
Bai Muchuan paused for a short while and grunted a laugh. “You indeed have ways to get through this!”
This was a response to his earlier remark.
Cheng Zheng just listened with no reply.
Of course, Bai Muchuan was supportive of him getting help to purchase the equipnt.
“I have no objections to it, but... I think Miao Zichen must have asked for sothing in return, right?”
That day, the three of them had dinner together.
Miao Zichen seed to be an intelligent woman. She may be young, but her aspiring ambitions were written all over her face.
If she was willing to help them out, then why would she not ask for sothing in return?
Using the word “must” in Bai Muchuan’s question made Cheng Zheng a little surprised.
“Yeah, how did you...”
“How did I know?” Bai Muchuan finished the sentence for him and glanced at him in a sowhat mocking manner. “Good question, but this is too complicated for you. You might not understand it throughout your life.”
“...”
Cheng Zheng’s face sank for a mont. “Tell then, what did she ask for?”
“She wants to work in Serious Cri Division One, does she?” Bai Muchuan replied nonchalantly.
“...”
He’s right.
How did he know? thought Cheng Zheng.
“Regarding this matter, it’s outside my authority. Anyway, I know you will have a way to settle it!”
Bai Muchuan showed a half-smile while he looked at Cheng Zheng’s gloomy face. A corner of his lips quirked upwards.
“It’s a good thing that you’re only into technology, otherwise...”
What?
Bai Muchuan did not finish his sentence. He just shook his head and left.
He only left a aningful look at Cheng Zheng just before he turned away.
There was a direct relationship between reading people and personal experience.
Cheng Zheng was, no doubt, outstanding in his field of forensic science and technology.
However, in regards to reading people...
Bai Muchuan let out a chuckle.
...
Miao Zichen obviously adored Cheng Zheng.
Bai Muchuan already knew that from their dinner that night.
Nonetheless, Cheng Zheng was completely in the dark.
He believed that a motivated girl like Miao Zichen should be able to perform well in her job.
Therefore...
Whether officially or personally, Bai Muchuan did not have any reason to reject the request for her to work here.
It’s killing two birds with one stone.
Nope, it’s killing three birds with one stone.
With Cheng Zheng recomnding Miao Zichen to work in Serious Cri Division One, even Cheng Weiji himself would have nothing to say when Xiang Wan cos to work with the title of Zhan Se’s personal assistant.
