Old Wei said last night that Director Chen would come to the branch at 5:30 to listen to the report; in fact, Director Chen and Deputy Director Liu, who oversees criminal investigations, arrived at 5:15.
Han Yu rushed up to the third floor with his briefcase, entered the small meeting room, and was stunned to find not only Director Chen, Director Liu, and Captain Wei were present, but also Vice Secretary Jian of the City's Political and Legal Committee. There are several vice secretaries in the Political and Legal Committee, but only Vice Secretary Jian holds a full-time position, signifying he was representing the secretary.
President Niu of the Changhang Police Bureau's Criminal Investigation Corps had just arrived too, accompanied by a veteran criminal investigator. They hadn't had time to check into their hotel, so their luggage was placed in the corner of the meeting room.
