Chapter 1242 - 1170 Meiyang
Evening.
Meiyang Municipal Committee Reception House.
After personally helping Jiang Yuan and the others with their check-in, the Changyang City Criminal Police Detachment leader Wang Sheng said, "Captain Jiang, I’m sorry, the conditions in Meiyang City are like this, please bear with us."
"It’s already very good, much better than the hotels we found ourselves." Huang Qiangmin was following along the whole time, afraid that Jiang Yuan might encounter something unexpected while away.
"It’s what we should do. Captain Jiang, you previously helped us a lot. Honestly, if it weren’t for you coming over, with the stance from the Ministry and the secretaries at that time, they were asking three times a day..." Wang Sheng shook his head and continued, "I just wanted to say, our Secretary is still in a meeting, he wants to invite Director Jiang and Commissioner Huang for dinner tonight."
"We might have to have a meeting first." Huang Qiangmin, worried that Jiang Yuan might not respond well, quickly said, "I’ll call Secretary Zhang to apologize."
"Secretary Zhang knows how busy the task force is, and specifically said that once Captain Jiang is free, he will come to visit. If there’s no time for dinner, a supper or tea would be fine." A young staff member responsible for liaising with the reception house spoke up.
Huang Qiangmin couldn’t refuse anymore, said with a little embarrassment, "It’s truly unreasonable to let the Secretary wait for us, mainly because the task force’s mission is too urgent..."
"The Secretary particularly understands and has instructed us to prioritize your work, Captain Jiang. His main purpose is to express his gratitude, and he doesn’t want to interfere with your case work." The young staff member, already speaking with the maturity of someone from Shandong.
Jiang Yuan’s Accumulated Case Team had previously helped Meiyang City with the gambling den explosion case. That was indeed a major case, causing dozens of casualties with one loud bang, alarming the Ministry, resulting in Song Tiancheng bringing Jiang Yuan directly to the scene.
In retrospect, it was fortunate that he brought Jiang Yuan with him, enabling Jiang Yuan to be involved from the investigation stage of the case.
