Sip.
After taking a sip of tea, Old Bai continued to talk about the case from back then.
"The disappearance case of that police officer back then wasn't under the jurisdiction of our Criminal Investigation Team, so Wang Mingshan didn't have direct authority over it. When he went to investigate at Songbei Mining, he was acting in a private capacity, not as part of official duties. To put it bluntly, his investigation back then was unauthorized."
"But since he disappeared, well... you know."
Lu Chuan nodded.
Old Bai meant that Wang Mingshan's disappearance back then wasn't because of an official task assigned by the team, but due to his own unauthorized actions.
"Regardless of whether Wang Mingshan had jurisdiction over the case, he went to investigate it, so the municipal bureau took it very seriously at that time."
"They investigated for a long time, but unfortunately didn't uncover any results."
It's a big deal when a detective goes missing, let alone any police officer.
