After Chen Yumin had come to check on Su Mo and given him some instructions, he left first.
At his level, there were countless things to deal with every day.
Today, he was just passing by anyway.
The others gathered around Yang Guoming, exchanging some sour remarks.
Everyone knew that this time Nancheng had truly made a big achievement.
At least a second-class merit award was guaranteed.
In terms of other resources and funding, Yang Guoming's voice would carry more weight.
When everyone left, they all exchanged phone numbers with Su Mo.
They hadn't forgotten about the instructor's matter.
After all, Yunhai City had more than a hundred police stations—who knew when it would be their turn?
Although Su Mo was just a newly appointed junior officer,
no one doubted his potential.
Everyone left, but Su Dahai stayed behind.
Sitting on a brick, smoking a cigarette, he grinned broadly.
His son had made a great achievement, and he was proud to the core.
This pride surpassed even when he himself won a second-class merit award.
However, he kept quiet since no one knew Su Mo was his son.
Su Mo had been studying away from home, and after graduating, to avoid any suspicion, Su Dahai had never helped him.
Therefore, few people noticed Su Mo's true identity.
If Yang Guoming flipped through Su Mo's file, he would know everything.
But as the station chief, he obviously wouldn't bother looking at a rookie's records.
"What's so funny? You grin like you ate some bee poop."
Yang Guoming approached Su Dahai, eyes cautious.
"I'm telling you, Su Dahai, don't just look at Su Mo and smile—I won't let him join your criminal investigation team."
"You should understand, that team is where you can really get ahead."
Though Su Mo was only on his first day,
arresting over forty criminals at once showed he was no ordinary cop.
He had special skills and was both brave and clever, worth investing effort in.
"You're so confident in this kid?"
Su Dahai flicked ash off his cigarette, eyes twinkling as he watched Su Mo escort the prisoners.
"Yes!"
Yang Guoming said confidently,
"Su Mo got a second-class merit on his first day. Becoming one of the top ten officers of the year isn't impossible."
Su Dahai was stunned—he hadn't expected Yang Guoming to hold Su Mo in such high regard.
The provincial top ten award was no joke, requiring at least three second-class merits, which scared off ninety percent of candidates.
Su Dahai shook his head and smiled—this was too early to think about such things.
"I'm here for serious business today."
His expression turned grave.
"You know about the recent shooting case, right?"
"Yes. Any leads?"
Yang Guoming's smile vanished; he asked solemnly.
"No solid leads, but some clues."
Su Dahai took a drag of his cigarette and slowly explained:
"The mastermind of the shooting, Wang Hu, is a dangerously unstable man."
"That's why the higher-ups are keeping close watch—he's capable of all kinds of revenge crimes."
Pausing briefly, Su Dahai continued:
"Wang Hu has a younger brother, Wang Meng, who was caught for theft before."
"Though released, Wang Meng is still involved in crime, right here in Nancheng District."
"If we find Wang Meng, we can set a trap to lure Wang Hu out."
"In Nancheng?"
Yang Guoming was shocked.
"Was Wang Meng among the criminals we just arrested?"
Criminal cases were no petty theft—they often involved loss of life.
"My men checked—no."
Su Dahai shook his head.
"Wang Meng is cunning and works alone. He won't expose himself."
"I'm here to ask you to interrogate those criminals for their largest fence location."
"If we find the biggest fence location, Wang Meng won't escape!"
Yang Guoming frowned deeply.
This was a tough job.
Catching thieves was one thing, but getting them to reveal their fence locations was much harder.
These fences were the lifeline for many criminals—their biggest secret.
Even under arrest, they would stay tight-lipped.
"I'll find a way. Even if their teeth are as hard as iron, I'll pry it out!"
Yang Guoming grimaced but was determined.
...
Meanwhile, after sending the leaders off, Su Mo knew his father and Yang were discussing work, so he didn't interrupt.
He continued escorting the prisoners, sending them one by one into waiting police cars outside.
The system's notification sounds kept ringing:
[Ding! Captured ordinary thief, Detective Points Reward: 100]
[Ding! Captured thief and robber, Detective Points Reward: 300]
[Ding! Captured thief involved in large amount, Detective Points Reward: 200]
...
With each ding, Su Mo's mood soared.
This haul was huge—more than forty criminals, contributing over six thousand Detective Points.
That meant it was time for a lottery draw!
He opened his system panel:
[Name: Su Mo]
[Age: 22]
[Position: Police Officer, Nancheng District, Yunhai City]
[Rank: Third Grade Police Inspector (One Bar One Star)]
[Physique: 110 (Normal 100)]
[Mental: 105 (Normal 100)]
[Detective Points: 6300]
[Detective Skill: Cloud-Piercing Hand]
[System Assessment: A policeman already with considerable strength]
Seeing those six thousand points, Su Mo's eyes gleamed with expectation.
Last time, the system rewarded him a skill that was a bit off track, but this time it was his own lottery draw—shouldn't be biased.
He eagerly said,
"System, start the lottery!"
[Ding! Deducted 2000 Detective Points, starting the draw!]
With a flash of light on the panel, a brand-new skill appeared:
[Ding! Congratulations Host, new skill acquired: Speech Master!]
[Speech Master: Youngster, your words carry strong persuasion, greatly increasing others' trust in you. Hear the applause!] Su Mo, full of hope, stared at the skill—then his smile froze.
"Damn it!"
