Chapter 265 If you can't speak, you can still shut up and smile.

Seeing Bai Nuo staring speechlessly at the photos that were basically unrecognizable, Captain Li pursed his lips somewhat awkwardly.

"I'm sorry, but the conditions at our branch office are not very good... We haven't been able to apply for color film yet."

Bai Nuo twitched her lips. She knew that Pingyuan City, a county-level city, was indeed not very well-off, but she did not expect that a branch of the Public Security Bureau could be so poor!

However, thinking about the things to do before leaving home, my family and friends gave me a lot of advice and reminders, and told me that when I'm out in the world, I should learn to speak to people in a human way and to ghosts in a ghost way. If I don't know how to speak, I should just shut up and laugh.

Bai Nuo felt that although they were poor, they were not lacking in ambition, and their good spirits were commendable.

"It's alright, being poor is fine too. At least it shows you still have room to maneuver by complaining about being poor to your superiors!"

An Yun, who had been quietly content to be a mascot, was startled by these words. She pulled the outspoken girl aside and said in a low voice, speechless, "What nonsense are you talking about? If you can't comfort people, at least shut up and smile!"

Bai Nuo curled her lips in dissatisfaction. What did she say wrong? Besides, she wasn't comforting anyone; she was praising their branch office!

Fang Meng shrugged, suppressing the urge to burst out laughing, and made a serious face to cover up for his little girl.

"What Comrade Bai meant was that our country is generally poor right now, and the resources at the top are limited. Sometimes we need to learn to plead poverty appropriately. No matter how effective the method is, getting the goods is what really matters."

Having better investigative tools will greatly help in carrying out subsequent work, especially for specialized departments like the Criminal Investigation Brigade. With better investigative tools, you can improve your efficiency in handling cases.

It can play a greater role in combating crime and seeking justice for ordinary people.

An Yun looked over in surprise. When did this guy become so eloquent? Wasn't he always the one who had the strongest fist?

The king of scoundrels in the army, who can rival him!

That's Captain Fang's wise saying! Now he's even teaching others to cry poverty and act shamelessly.

Little did they know that Bai Nuo and Fang Meng were using the same brain. When it came to complaining about being poor and being unreasonable to their leader, Fang Meng was always second to none in the group.

He's got that trick covered!

As for his so-called "might makes right," that's only for subordinates. Who in their right mind would throw their fists at their leader?

Captain Li, who hadn't taken Bai Nuo's words seriously at first, suddenly had a flash of inspiration after hearing Fang Meng's words, and his mind instantly clicked.

He looked down at the black and white photos on the table, then looked up at Fang Meng and Bai Nuo, looking back and forth three times, and his expression gradually turned into one of sudden realization.

"I see, so that's how it works. Okay! I'll go find our bureau chief and make him plead with headquarters to get the color film for our criminal investigation team!"

An Yun: "..."

He knew it all along; any normal person would go crazy if they met Bai Nuo and Fang Meng. I suffered from them for many years when I was young, how could I have forgotten!

Liu Yanan: "..."

How did things turn out this way?

Also, it seems their county public security bureau doesn't have color film, so... maybe she should let her dad go and cry too!

Captain Li is not a rigid person at all; on the contrary, he is quite lively!

Seeing Liu Yanan and An Yun looking at him in shock, he felt a little embarrassed and quickly lowered his head to cover it up with a cough.

"Um, well, shall we continue?"

“There’s no need for that. I already have a general understanding of the case. Captain Li, when would be a convenient time for you to take me to see those three heads? To reconstruct their appearance, we need to see the actual objects.”

"Okay, okay, no problem, let's go now!" Captain Li nodded quickly. He had already asked the director for permission to go directly with his men.

Upon hearing this, An Yun took the initiative to speak up: "Captain Li, Fang Meng and I were just sent by our secretary to protect Comrade Bai's safety."

Comrade Bai is, after all, a special talent specially hired by our county. Our Secretary Li and Director Liu are worried about what might happen on the way. However, Fang Meng and I haven't received any notification to assist in the case, so it's inconvenient for us to handle this important evidence. Therefore, we won't go in with you. As for Comrade Bai's safety here, we'll have to trouble Captain Li to take care of it. We'll come to pick him up tonight after we finish today's work."

Captain Li then remembered something else: their criminal investigation team hadn't received any notification from the auxiliary team to handle the case. To avoid leaking key information, colleagues from other departments were indeed not allowed to access important evidence and clues.

He could apply to higher authorities; based on their previous two collaborations, he was genuinely envious of Fang Meng and An Yun's skills and abilities.

Unfortunately, before he could even speak, Fang Meng interrupted him.

“That’s right. Just as we arrived, the county gave us some other instructions, so we won’t delay Captain Li’s work any longer. We’ll come back to pick them up tonight.”

Upon hearing that Fang Meng had other work to attend to, Captain Li could only regretfully abandon his idea of ​​borrowing someone. He sighed inwardly but nodded with a smile on his face: "No problem, you two can go ahead and do your work. Since Comrade Bai is someone we have seconded here to provide support, our branch will make sure that safety and food are taken care of. Don't worry."

"Then I'll have to trouble you!"

Fang Meng smiled and nodded, glanced at Bai Nuo, and then turned and left with An Yun.

After the two left, Captain Li quickly took Bai Nuo and Liu Yanan to the forensic department next door.
