Chapter 28 Building Closer Relationships: An Invitation
Asking for gloves on the way to the dissection room made his intentions quite clear.
Ling Feng sat in the chair, looked up at the young police officer standing in front of him, and showed a look of surprise on his face.
He joined the police station as an agent at the age of eighteen and worked his way up to the position of detective chief through his merits.
Of course, the promotion from detective to detective chief is a difficult gap to overcome.
Taking that first step isn't just about having experience and achievements; it also requires a lot of money and support to win in the competition.
Ling Feng had spent over a decade working in the police station, which allowed him to build a considerable network of connections.
He was willing to spend money to bribe his way into the position of detective.
Therefore, this detective, who climbed up step by step from the bottom, was very experienced in investigating cases, and naturally came to the autopsy room often.
He still clearly remembers the first time he came, he vomited so badly that he felt dizzy and couldn't eat meat for half a month.
Later, when I was promoted and brought in new employees, those new employees had the same problem.
It's quite unexpected that a patrol officer tasked with maintaining order and managing criminal activity would go inside to examine a corpse.
Moreover, Shen Lang is only in his twenties. Can he really adapt?
It's no wonder the two were surprised.
Ling Feng had a good impression of the young police officer in front of him, especially after he led everyone to confront the foreigners yesterday and stood up for the Chinese.
So, in a friendly gesture, he suggested, "If you'd like to investigate as well, there's a complete autopsy report here; you can take a look."
As they spoke, he handed over the folder he was holding.
Looking at the man with a gentle smile, Shen Lang couldn't help but think more highly of this detective.
"He has both courage and magnanimity; he's a remarkable person. No wonder he was promoted to detective at the age of thirty."
If it were someone else, they would be too busy hiding their identity from competitors to share their insights.
No wonder he became the youngest detective in the McDonnell Police Station.
However, there's really no need to read this report; it's pointless for anyone who hasn't studied criminal investigation to read it.
Shen Lang shook his head and said politely with a smile, "Thank you for your guidance, Inspector Ling. I'm just here to learn from your experience; I don't mean to compete for credit with you detectives."
Then, leaning slightly forward and covering his mouth with his hand, he said mysteriously, "If I discover anything, I'll tell Detective Ling immediately!"
He deliberately kept his voice very low, putting on an air of being "one of us".
To succeed in the police force, building a network of connections is essential.
What could be more important than befriending a powerful detective?
Moreover, Shen Lang never intended to get involved from the beginning, let alone use this case to gain merit or receive awards.
Because no matter what conclusion is reached, it will either offend the Lixingshe or the Special Higher Police, which is too risky and not conducive to future planning.
Only by siding with the French could one avoid offending other forces if they wanted to develop their careers in the French Concession police station in the long term.
However, the French Concession, which is about to become an isolated island, will not last much longer. Offending the Special Higher Police for the sake of the French Concession would be detrimental to future infiltration into the enemy's territory.
Shen Lang's short-term goal is to gain a foothold in the police station, while his long-term plan is to secure a place in the puppet government in the future.
At the very least, they should be associated with the infamous No. 76.
It could both protect themselves and secretly use their power to help the resistance against Japan!
Therefore, the focus of this case is on making connections.
Shen Lang already had a plan in mind, which is why he said he would cooperate.

Ling Feng's eyes lit up when he heard this, and a look of joy appeared on his face.
Before yesterday, his understanding of this junior police officer was that he was notorious for being irresponsible and not doing his job properly.
After yesterday's swift resolution of the case, we'll have to look at it differently.
The fact that a case that stumped three detectives could be solved in just one day shows that the person must have some real skills.
Besides a sharp mind, they must also have a number of informants and gossips to provide timely clues and solve cases.
With this help, he might actually be able to outshine the other two detectives!
Both of them were eager to get to know each other, and the atmosphere became more harmonious.
Ling Feng turned his head and said with a smile, "Old Wang, it's a good thing that the young man wants to learn, so let's give him a pair of gloves."
The forensic doctor, Wang, remained noncommittal, then bent down and took a pair of plastic gloves from the cabinet, throwing them onto the table.
He might disregard a lowly constable, but he certainly couldn't refuse a detective's request.
You never know when you might run into trouble and need someone's help.
We're all shrewd people; it's just a favor, there's no need to offend anyone.
Thank you!
Shen Lang nodded his thanks, put on his gloves, and pushed open the door to enter the dissection room.
Looking around, the walls and floor were covered with tiles, and a dissection table in the middle was covered with a white sheet.
Judging from its shape, it is clearly a corpse.
Gollum~
Shen Lang swallowed hard, feeling a little nervous even though he had lived two lives.
"Phew!"
He took a deep breath and murmured, "Adapt. To survive in this era, you have to adapt!"
After mentally preparing myself, I slowly uncovered the white sheet, revealing a body that was slightly pale due to blood loss.
There were at least twenty bullet holes in his upper body, and several horrific stitches on his chest.
Fortunately, the bullet did not hit his head, so it didn't look scary.
Shen Lang steadied himself, gritted his teeth, and gently grasped the cold, stiff hand.
He secretly vowed, "System, if you still don't push relevant intelligence to me with big data like this, I'll... I'll draw a circle and curse you!"
In order to obtain relevant information, Shen really went all out!
Even through the gloves, the cold, stiff feeling of the corpse's hands still sent chills down his spine.
However, driven by his passion, he gritted his teeth and persevered for half an hour without moving before finally covering himself with the white sheet again and coming out.
Aside from the handshake, there was no other investigation from beginning to end.
Anyway, a layman wouldn't be able to figure it out.
When he returned to his office, Ling Feng had already left.
In order to impress the French, the detective led his team to search for clues everywhere.
Shen Lang politely greeted the forensic doctor, Wang, and quickly left the office.
The biting chill was only dispelled when the midday sun shone on me.
bang bang~
Shen Lang patted his clothes, and his entire demeanor changed.
He went from being polite and proper to walking with a slouching gait, looking like a thug.
When I returned to the office, it was quiet; everyone else had already gone out on patrol.
Shen Lang had no intention of going on patrol; instead, he prepared to write a report on yesterday's case.
As soon as I returned to my seat, I saw a gold-embossed invitation on my desk.
I was taken aback when I saw the polite address and the invitation to "Zui Xian Lou" that evening.
When he saw the signature at the bottom, his brows furrowed and his expression became even more confused.
"The Great Lakes Gang - Bai Changrong".
