Mr. Wang looked into Fang Ze's eyes, unsure why but always felt...as if the other's eyes held limitless penetrating power, piercing into his very soul, revealing the cases that spanned over a decade...
.....
The next day. Early morning.
The sun rose as usual.
The Security Bureau seed to regain its usual vibrancy, with the gossiping commissioners gathering together before work, chatting in small groups.
What they discussed most was, of course, Fang Ze taking over the decade-spanning serial murder cold case.
To be honest, like those neutrally positioned higher-ups,
Most commissioners, having no personal grudges with Fang Ze, did not take pleasure in his potential misfortune or wait for him to embarrass himself upon hearing "Fang Ze had just taken office, heard about this challenging case, yet still chose to take it on." Instead, they appreciated his courage to challenge and willingness to take responsibility.
However, when it ca to how long it would take Fang Ze to solve the case, most were pessimistic.
Not to ntion a specific date, most even doubted Fang Ze could solve it at all.
Therefore, many were concerned that Fang Ze, having just taken office and stirred up such a big situation, might encounter so mishaps.
"Commissioner Wang is no simple character. Over a decade ago, he was already a Municipal Councilor, well-entrenched in Erald City. Even though he ca from a common background, he could still go toe to toe with the Jiang Family,"
"One could say his thods are ruthless."
"The old director spent so many years as a director at the Security Bureau, and he was left disgraced, forced to reflect and apologize because of him."
"Director Fang has just taken office and is so publicly confronting his son; he will not let Director Fang off easily."
"Exactly. Alas....."
....
anwhile, in the Governing Hall.
There were still over two hours until the council eting today, yet Commissioner Wang had already arrived at City Hall with a gloomy expression.
Upon seeing him, all the departnt staff stood and saluted, but he didn't respond at all and went straight up to the fourth floor of the Governing Hall.
10 minutes later. The fourth floor of the Governing Hall, Jiang Cheng's room.
Commissioner Wang and Jiang Cheng were sitting on the couch, chatting.
Commissioner Wang lit a cigarette, squinting as he smoked, and said, "So people are really out of line. The new official's three fires have actually burned up to our heads."
Jiang Cheng looked at him with a chuckle and said, "I told you the other day, Fang Ze is a mad dog. He'll bite for no reason."
"Such people, if not beaten to death with a single stick, will cause endless trouble."
Commissioner Wang listened silently to Jiang Cheng's words, then a mont later, he exhaled the pale smoke through his nose and said, "I didn't believe it before, but now I've seen it for myself."
"It seems we need to let him understand who really calls the shots in Erald City."
Seeing Commissioner Wang, whom he had failed to sway for so many years, unexpectedly leaning towards him because of his enemies, Jiang Cheng couldn't feel more thrilled.
He said aningfully, "Today's council eting is a perfect opportunity."
Commissioner Wang nodded faintly and responded with a soft "Hmm," his gaze deep like a lake....
....
anwhile, outside the holding room on the fourth floor of the Security Bureau.
Bai Zhi, Little Bai Ling, Nan Yi, and Little You were all waiting by the door.
There were also so commissioners who had no imdiate tasks and enjoyed being in the loop, quietly peering around the corner of the fourth floor.
Although everyone did not have much hope for Fang Ze solving the case, who knew, there might be a miracle?
After all, Fang Ze had created many miracles before.
Moreover, even if there were no miracles, being the first to receive news about such a big event also provided a sense of involvent.
And while everyone was eagerly anticipating, the door to the holding room slowly opened from the inside.
Fang Ze erged with a grave expression.
Seeing him step out, Bai Zhi, Little Bai Ling, and the others imdiately crowded around him, and the distant commissioners also intently focused on this scene.
However, seeing Fang Ze's troubled expression, no one held much hope.
After all, if the case had been solved, he shouldn't look this way.
In the end, it was Bai Zhi who softly broke the silence and asked, "How is it? Any progress?"
Hearing Bai Zhi's concerned inquiry, Fang Ze ca back to his senses, his gaze settling on her, then he slowly nodded and said, "There is progress."
He paused and said, "Or maybe I should say... I have already solved the case."
Upon hearing Fang Ze's words, Bai Zhi, Bai Ling, Nan Yi, and Little You all widened their eyes and opened their mouths in astonishnt.
Although everyone hoped for a miracle.
But the reason miracles are called miracles is that they happen so rarely!
And yet... miracles seed to be wholesale with Fang Ze. There was always one!
The previous miracles were one thing, after all, those cases were minor and not complicated. Many veteran Commissioners or those with Mind Power could solve them as well, it just would have taken much longer.
But this ti... it was a case that had troubled the Security Bureau for ten years!
And it was just solved like that?
The group couldn't help but look at the ti. It was only 9 AM.
Fang Ze had entered the detention room last night, only 10 hours ago, right?
10 hours to solve a 10-year cold case?!
That was just too terrifying!
However, right after that, Bai Zhi felt sothing was off. She couldn't help asking, "But shouldn't you be happy about solving a case?"
"Why do you look so upset?"
Fang Ze rubbed his temples, slightly headache-ridden and said, "Because... the culprit isn't Mr. Wang. It was soone else."
"I might... need to apply for a Special Operation Permit on my second day in office."
Upon hearing Fang Ze's words, the people present were once again so astonished that their jaws dropped...

Finally, it was Bai Zhi who quietly started by asking, "How's it going? Any progress?"
Hearing Bai Zhi's concerned inquiry, Fang Ze ca back to his senses, his gaze landing on her before he slowly nodded and said, "There is progress."
He paused and said, "Or maybe I should say... I have already solved the case."
Upon hearing Fang Ze's words, Bai Zhi, Bai Ling, Nan Yi, and Little You all widened their eyes and opened their mouths in astonishnt.
