The Forensic Doctor Better Than a Detective

Chapter 572: Chapter 323: The Criminal Investigation Team Shines Again!

After a brief silence, Mr. Ma forcefully patted Jiang An on the shoulder.

”Brother Jiang An, you did well this time!”

”As the deputy captain of the criminal investigation team, you made a stunning debut, which is not something anyone can achieve.”

”Keep this momentum going, I believe you will lead everyone to achieve greater success!”

Jiang An immediately straightened his back, ”Mr. Ma, always ready for deployment!”

Then, Mr. Ma looked around, a smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.

”Brothers, I think there should be applause at this moment.”

As soon as he finished speaking, thunderous applause erupted.

Everyone’s gaze naturally focused on Jiang An.

Five minutes later, just as Mr. Ma, Mr. Li, and their team were preparing to descend the mountain, the middle-aged man hurriedly came up.

”Officer Jiang, please wait a moment!”

The middle-aged man asked breathlessly, ”Is there any progress in this case?”

Jiang An stopped, speaking solemnly, ”Rest assured!”

”If we can dig deeper along this clue, I believe the case will soon achieve a breakthrough.”

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man’s eyes instantly became wet.

He trembled, ”My cousin’s family... all...”

”After all these years, they don’t even have a resting place...”

”If... if this time we can find the culprit...”

By the end, he was choked with emotion and couldn’t speak.

Suddenly, he bowed deeply, ”I represent all the relatives to thank you!”

Jiang An hurriedly stepped forward to support him, ”Brother, please don’t do this!”

”Investigating cases is our duty.”

”The fact that this case wasn’t solved for years is due to inadequacies on our part.”

”No, no, no!”

The middle-aged man shook his head repeatedly, wiping the corners of his eyes with his sleeve.

”Earlier, I saw several of you digging, hands blistered, yet no one complained.”

He looked at each officer present.

”Having officers like you in Jiangcheng City is a blessing for us common folk.”

”I believe that justice is always by our side.”

Seeing this, Mr. Ma and Mr. Li stepped forward, shaking hands with the middle-aged man and the neighbors to say goodbye.

Back at the city public security bureau, Mr. Ma immediately convened the task force for an emergency meeting.

Captain Li Jian personally contacted the country’s top combination lock company, requesting them to quickly arrive on-site to assist in opening the box.

Forty minutes later, technical experts rushed in with professional equipment, setting up a temporary operation platform in the large meeting room.

Everyone held their breath, the air filled with a tense and expectant atmosphere.

The rusty metal box was carefully placed on the operation platform.

Using professional tools, a sudden ”click” sound was heard as the password box responded and opened.

Everyone present instinctively leaned forward, and Captain Li Jian even rushed directly to the front.

Inside the box were stacks of brand-new bills neatly piled, the top bill’s serial number boldly printed ”****0001”, the second ”****0002”.... confirming the consecutive numbering suspicion.

Mr. Ma stared at the box of cash, his heart surging, he immediately turned and issued instructions, ”Immediately photograph for documentation, keep a record of the scene, and arrange personnel for counting.”

This was not just a box of cash worth millions, but the culmination of generations of criminal investigators’ efforts.

This case, which once caused countless investigators sleepless nights, achieved a major breakthrough today.

Captain Li Jian couldn’t suppress his excitement, ”Mr. Ma, our criminal investigation team really made the department proud this time!”

”You know, this case was once escalated to the department as a supervisory case, many people poured their heart and soul into it.”

”Recovering this stolen money is absolutely a milestone for boosting Jiang An’s criminal investigation influence.”

Mr. Ma nodded, seriously saying, ”However, we must immediately report to the higher authorities and follow the procedures to return it to the bank accordingly.”

At 3 o’clock in the afternoon, the chairman of the commercial bank, Chen Shuai, personally drove to Jiang’an City Public Security Bureau.

This businessman in his fifties walked into the meeting room and excitedly held Mr. Ma’s hand.

”Mr. Ma, on behalf of all the staff, I express our sincerest gratitude to Jiang An’s police force!”

”This case went unsolved for so many years, honestly, I had already lost hope.”

”I never expected you could recover this box of money, it’s simply a miracle!”

Mr. Ma responded with a smile, ”The investigation doesn’t stop until the case is solved.”

”This is not only the case-solving philosophy of our Jiangcheng criminal investigation, but the common belief of police officers nationwide.”

Saying this, he gave a signal to Li Jian.

After a while, officer Wan brought in the rusty metal box.

As the box was opened, the chairman’s eyes widened, his hands started trembling slightly.

He examined it for two full minutes, then spoke with a slightly choking voice, ”Mr. Ma, you probably don’t know!”

”I personally packed this box of money back then when I was at an out-of-town bank!”

”The purchasing power of that 1 million back then is at least equivalent to 10 million now.”

”Because of this case, I almost went bankrupt... fortunately, I survived.”

”I’m incredibly grateful to you all!”

As he spoke, this strong businessman had already reddened eyes.

He calmed his emotions and solemnly said, ”To express our bank’s gratitude, we’ve decided to donate two new energy police vehicles to the Jiang An criminal investigation team.”

This unexpected proposal left everyone present stunned.

Mr. Ma declined, ”Chairman, we appreciate your kindness.”

”But this gift is truly too precious.”
