Twenty minutes later, the group drove away from the Han City Forensic Autopsy Center.

On the way back, Deputy Director Li Hongbing turned and said, "Mr. Jiang, you've all worked hard today."

"Just on the first day of your arrival in Han City, you've brought so many changes to our special task force."

"On behalf of Han City's Criminal Investigation, I thank you!"

Jiang An replied in a deep voice, "Mr. Li, you're too kind!"

"Cities have boundaries, but criminal investigations do not."

"No matter where there is criminal activity, we will not hesitate to act."

"Well said!"

As he spoke, Li Hongbing raised his wrist and glanced at his watch.

"Time flies, it's already six o'clock in the afternoon."

"Tonight, I've arranged a dinner to welcome the three distinguished guests from Jiangcheng."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Hongbing dialed the number of the office clerk, Liu.

"Liu, arrange a table at Juyuan Hotel and bring two bottles of wine."

After hanging up the phone, Li Hongbing turned and said, "Mr. Jiang, Mr. Wan, and Zhang Yean, let's have a good drink tonight."

Jiang An furrowed his brows, deep in thought.

He was still pondering an important question, which was how to reconstruct the crime scene and depict the characteristics of the murderer.

He wasn't at all interested in the dinner party that night.

Besides, Mr. Ma didn't send him here to drink and socialize, but to solve the case and catch the murderer.

Right now, the most important task is to apprehend the culprit.

After a brief consideration, Jiang An said, "Mr. Li, I have a suggestion!"

"Mr. Jiang, please go ahead!"

"Can we have a simple meal tonight?"

Suddenly, the previously smiling face of Wan fell silent.

Was this meal about to turn into a boxed dinner?

"Mr. Jiang, that wouldn't be right!"

Mr. Li quickly gestured with his hands, "You are a distinguished guest in Han City."

"And you're also a capable general sent by my old classmate, Mr. Ma."

"How could I neglect you?"

"Tonight we must have a little drink to welcome you all."

Jiang An said, "Mr. Li, we truly appreciate your hospitality!"

"But with the case unsolved, I really don't feel like drinking."

Li Hongbing looked back at Jiang An and noticed his serious expression.

After hesitating for a moment, he said, "Alright then!"

"If you don't feel like drinking, even the finest wine will seem dull."

Then he added, "I'll store the wine for now! We can drink it to celebrate once the case is solved."

"Good, it's a deal!"

At 6:40 PM, the group returned to the Han City Criminal Investigation Unit.

At this time, it should have been when everyone was heading home from work.

However.

In the corridor of the Han City Criminal Investigation Unit, it was crowded with people.

Everyone was busy.

As Li Hongbing and Captain Zhao passed through the stairs, officers passing by greeted them.

"Mr. Li!"

"Mr. Zhao!"

"You're back!"

Back in the office, Li Hongbing said solemnly, "Mr. Jiang, Liu has already reserved the private room."

"Tonight, we won't drink; let's just go to the hotel's private room, eat a little, and come back to discuss the case?"

Jiang An glanced out the window, noticing other officers hurrying along, all looking busy.

He said in a deep voice, "Mr. Li, how about we let the hotel pack up the food, and we eat a little in the office?"

"There are still many questions about this case, and I'd like to study it closely."

Originally, Li Hongbing wanted to persuade him gently.

However, seeing Jiang An's determined expression, he quickly gave up the idea.

Finally, he gave a thumbs up and said, "Mr. Jiang, not only are you excellent at criminal investigation, but you also have a commendable dedication."

"With such elite forces under Mr. Ma, I truly feel envious."

In the end, he shook his head.

"If I had such subordinates, maybe I could live a few more years."

Just as he finished speaking, Captain Zhao said, "Mr. Li, don't you still have me as a capable assistant?"

"You have a good rest, and we'll be on the front line."

Mr. Li turned to look at him, "You're outstanding too, but how could I bear to let you charge alone?"

Finally, Li Hongbing said solemnly, "Alright, I'll call Liu right away."

"Have him pack all the dishes back, and we'll eat a little in the office."

Jiang An nodded and then turned to ask, "Captain Zhao, where's the fingerprint fuming agent? Can we handle it in the lab now?"

"Absolutely."

"The fuming agent and the small garden gate have all been sent to the evidence lab."

Finally, Captain Zhao added, "Mr. Jiang, this piece of evidence is very crucial."

"I'm concerned about our limited expertise."

"So, we haven't done any processing yet, waiting for you to inspect it yourselves."

Zhang Yean smiled and said, "Mr. Zhao, you're too kind!"

"Actually, the fingerprint fuming inspection isn't that complicated."

"Your lab staff have the capacity to handle this."

Captain Zhao raised his hand to scratch his head and smiled awkwardly.

"To be honest, I used to be pretty confident in Han City's criminal investigation abilities."

"But since meeting all of you, I've realized how far we have to go compared to the advanced levels."

"That's why I've specifically instructed not to allow anyone else until you've conducted the examination."

Upon hearing this, Jiang An nodded and said, "Alright then!"

"We'll head to the forensic lab right away to fume the fingerprints on the courtyard fence."

Shortly after.

Jiang An and Zhang Yean took the elevator to the 7th floor forensic lab.

At this moment, the laboratory was still brightly lit.

On the spacious evidence processing table was a wooden small door.

Beside the wooden door, there were also two new bottles of fingerprint fuming agent.
