The regulations on offenders making meritorious service are clear.

Generally, there are six methods.

The first is to prevent others from committing crimes, the second is to report others' crimes or provide important clues to solve a case, which are verified to be true.

The third is to assist the public security organs in capturing suspects of other crimes, the fourth is to have outstanding achievements in technological innovation during production.

The fifth is to have positive performance in disaster relief, and the last one is major meritorious performance recognition, meaning having significant inventions or technological innovations.

Among all the provisions for recognizing meritorious service while serving a sentence, preventing others from committing crimes is relatively common.

Take Wang Wei, for example. If he can inform the police about the time, place, and method before others commit a crime, helping the police to stop the crime, it constitutes a meritorious service in preventing others from committing crimes.

Reporting others' crimes is mostly recognized in economic crime cases or bribery and corruption cases.

Wang Wei's performance in this regard is outstanding, to the extent that the personnel and amounts he reported could almost be recognized as major meritorious performance.

This is also why in many economic-related cases, solving one case often leads to the arrest of many people.

This time, Wang Wei caused the leadership of the import and export trading company to be wiped out.

As for the other types of meritorious performances, most of them are accumulated during the sentence.

Especially those related to inventions and patent approvals, many people used these to engage in illegal activities in the early years.

Haizhou City Public Security Bureau.

Qin Yong reported directly to Song Jiangguo.

"The situation Wang Wei explained is quite complex, involving many people, especially in the High-tech Zone. If verified to be true, it would involve more than just dealing with one or two people."

After pausing for a moment, Qin Yong continued reporting: "Some of the cases inside may require cooperation with the economic investigation department, and other departments will need to be involved as well."

The Criminal Investigation Team deals with criminal cases and does not have direct enforcement rights over economic cases or bribery and corruption.

Moreover, many things need to be verified, and Wang Wei's words alone cannot be trusted.

The other side is not without the possibility of falsely accusing innocent people for meritorious service and sentence reduction.

In any case, the problem is finding out; there is no problem with investigating this, but other matters might have issues.

Song Jiangguo carefully reviewed Wang Wei's interrogation records.

After pondering for a moment, Song Jiangguo looked at Qin Yong: "You did well with this case."

"Especially not acting rashly; the situation is quite complicated, and I need to consult with my superiors."

The police chief of Haizhou City is not just a police chief but also holds other positions and is a figure of absolute authority in Haizhou City, capable of reporting work at any time to the top leader of Haizhou City.

"But Wang Wei's work cannot stop, and the important thing is evidence."

"We cannot mention things without substance, but once there's evidence, regardless of who is involved, we must thoroughly investigate!"

"Yes!"

The subsequent cases are not closely related to Zhang Hui and others.

Wang Wei's arrest changed the course of the case, making the few boxes of ivory less important.

The smuggling case clues Wang Wei provided, concerning Yun Province, will be transferred through the provincial department.

Originally, the Haizhou City Criminal Investigation Team could have sent people directly to follow up on the case, but since it involved the border, Qin Yong thought it over three times and decided to give up.

Credit is not earned by one person alone, and the local public security agencies in Yun Province have long been combating smuggling crimes, with experience that is evidently much richer than theirs.

Crime Scene Investigation Office.

"Lu Chuan, the notification for the fingerprint battle organized by the provincial department has come down. I have already submitted your name."

A week had passed since Wang Wei's case.

Reportedly, those above were very angry, and the scope affected was much wider than Lu Chuan had imagined.

After all, just one Wang Wei could expose so many people, and the situations reported by the other four leaders of the import and export trading company were no less than Wang Wei's.

The recent news keeps broadcasting investigations and reviews of various leaders.

Lu Chuan, just after watering the flamingo-lily, picked up the topic: "Master, when will I go?"

"In half a month, March 20th, for five days."

Lu Chuan nodded. Business trips were no big deal, as going to the provincial capital wasn't far anyway.

"Some fingerprints just came in from the High-speed Rail New District, I'll handle them."

The Criminal Investigation Team's case load hasn't been heavy lately, and Lu Chuan and the others don't have a large workload.

This allows them the energy to handle requests for help forwarded by the lower criminal investigation team.

"Okay, take a look at it. Old Bai and I will go to the laboratory to handle the samples from the Qianjin Street case."

The Qianjin Street Police Station sent DNA samples last week, needing judicial paternity testing.

Both parties in a divorce want the child.

Because the man's economic conditions are better, with a stable job, and the child is a boy, it is highly likely to be awarded to the man.

As a result, in court, the woman claimed that the child was not even the man's, flatly refusing to let the man have the child's custody.

There was no choice but to conduct a paternity test.

This kind of judicial request happens about once or twice a week, and it's not too troublesome, routine work.

As a result, Lu Chuan had barely been busy for ten minutes, and the pretreatment of a fingerprint wasn't even complete when Liu Guodong's call came, asking him to come downstairs.

"Lu, there's a case, bring the crime scene investigation kit. Old Bai and I are waiting for you downstairs."

Yang Sen took the day off today, leaving only three people at the Crime Scene Investigation Office.

A case?

Lu Chuan was slightly startled, Liu Guodong's tone was urgent, likely indicating it wasn't a small case: "Okay, Master, I'm coming down!"

Thirty minutes later.

West Suburb Vineyard, No. 3 Machine Well.

The local police station officers had already set up a cordon.

In the circle formed by the cordon, beside the machine well, was a body seemingly covered with a white cloth.

However, compared to an ordinary corpse, the body beside the machine well was significantly shorter, not resembling an adult.

"Oh my son... how could you be gone..."

When Lu Chuan arrived at the scene, he saw a woman in her thirties sitting limply on the cold ground, looking at the body covered in a white cloth from a distance, crying in a heart-wrenchingly hoarse voice.

"Crime Scene Investigation Team, advance."

Putting on three layers of gloves, masks, and shoe covers, Lu Chuan and the others entered the site one after another.

"The footprints are severely disturbed."

Lu Chuan merely glanced at the general situation of the scene and frowned, giving a judgment.

In all crime scenes, the initial determination is whether it's the primary scene.

Here, the footprints were chaotic, and there was a hoist beside the machine well, with the scene full of disorderly footprints.

In Haizhou in March, the snow had melted and early spring had arrived.

"I just asked about the situation at the West Suburb Police Station," Liu Guodong shook his head: "The deceased is a thirteen-year-old boy, reported missing two days ago. Today, when the machine well team was performing agricultural irrigation checks, they retrieved the corpse."

Thirteen years old?

Lu Chuan let out a deep sigh; this was the first juvenile victim case he had encountered.
