Handling the big portrait?

Liu Guodong quickly understood that Wu Kaiyue was impressed by Lu Chuan’s ability to handle portraits from the Qinzhou City fraud case.

Recently, there’s nothing much going on in Crime Scene Investigation, so helping out isn’t a problem.

But still, helping out… shouldn’t be for free, right?

Last time when we helped Economic Investigation, it wasn’t for nothing either; they spent over four hundred thousand to get us some equipment for the Crime Scene office.

Of course, officially it’s just borrowed, the assets are still theirs in Economic Investigation Team.

“Old Wu, helping out isn’t an issue.”

Liu Guodong glanced at the computer on his desk, and Lu Chuan’s desk as well.

“But you know, our equipment here in Crime Scene isn’t great, the computers are antiques from ten years ago.”

Of course, calling them antiques is absurd, Qiangsheng Group donated a hundred million, which hasn’t been fully spent yet.

The computers in Crime Scene have been replaced, just with average configurations.

“Those photos from the Qinzhou fraud case were handled on borrowed computers from your side.”

Who is Wu Kaiyue anyway?

Upon hearing Liu Guodong’s words, he knew exactly what was wanted.

“That’s a small matter, the Image Investigation Team just got a new computer, top configuration, same as Chen Kun’s, should I have it sent over?”

“One?”

Wu Kaiyue was slightly taken aback at Liu Guodong’s question, realizing that one computer wouldn’t cut it.

Looks like this will really cost a lot.

“Two, I only have two in stock, can’t do more, and only one is top configuration.”

“Old Wu, you know our Crime Scene office only has four people, and if you give us two computers… Lu Chuan, the new guy, won’t get one.”

Not allocated?

I don’t believe a word of it.

But then again, I need someone to do me a favor.

Didn’t Liu Guodong personally come by this morning, and Lu Chuan even gave me a pack of Zhonghua.

Alas…

This is a major loss.

But thinking of Chen Kun’s stack of over fifty big portraits, and Lu Chuan handling image data, I have to put up with it.

“I’ll have someone send it right over!”

“Great, haha!”

Hanging up the phone, Yang Sen came over.

Having worked with Liu Guodong for over a decade, he knew his leader all too well.

“Who have you taken advantage of this time?”

Liu Guodong glanced at Yang Sen, this guy isn’t as smooth-talking as Lu Chuan.

“What do you mean by taking advantage? If someone asks for our help, shouldn’t they offer something in return?”

Yang Sen nodded, “That’s true, but I just heard… you wanted computers?”

When Lu Chuan was awarded his first-class merit, Qiangsheng Group donated a hundred million to the Criminal Investigation Team!

After that, Crime Scene not only got its own trace evidence analysis lab, but also equipment they couldn’t have dreamed of before.

The office computers were updated too, no more antiques from a decade ago.

Speaking of which, Liu Guodong sighed, “There was a bit of a misjudgment last time in getting computers, the configuration isn’t high enough.”

“When Lu Chuan did that image enhancement, it kept crashing. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have to borrow a computer from the Image Investigation Team today.”

In fact, it wasn’t a decision error back then, the demand for high-spec computers wasn’t there.

Replaced the old computers because there was a surplus of funds, more or less.

And even the used computers, rather than scrapping them, were given to Ren Qiang’s Second Action Group.

New detectives didn’t have computers. This upgrade was timely.

Of course, it relates to the nature of their work.

The detectives in the Action Group are always out in the field, not using computers much.

In fact, some hardly get the chance to wear their police uniforms.

Take Zhang Hui, often working cases outside, sometimes not coming back for ten days or half a month.

Besides important meetings or commendation ceremonies, Zhang Hui seldom wears a police uniform.

Thus, for the Action Group, they cherish every opportunity to wear their uniforms.

Lu Chuan, back when he was at Public Security University, watched a real video material.

It was a funeral video for an undercover officer who had sacrificed his life.

The local public security bureau chief attended the funeral, and during the farewell ceremony, discovered the sacrificed undercover wasn’t wearing a police uniform.

The chief asked why not clothe the deceased officer in uniform?

The person in charge explained that to protect the identity of the undercover officer, his records, even his badge number, had been deleted.

All these years, he never got a uniform either.

Ultimately, the chief took off his own police uniform and personally dressed the fallen officer in it.

The uniform of any profession represents not just professional identity but also a sense of belonging and cultural recognition.

Police uniforms to officers are like military uniforms to soldiers.

Liu Guodong took a sip of hot tea from his enamel mug, “Besides, if the Image Investigation Team gives us a few new computers to replace ours, the older ones can go to the Action Group, wouldn’t that be great?”

Old Bai, an understanding man, “If they want to use our people, they certainly have to pay some price, or else anyone could use them anytime?”

Old Bai turned to Lu Chuan, “Lu, wouldn’t you agree?”

Placing down the flamingo-lily, Lu Chuan wholeheartedly agreed.

The Image Investigation Team’s computers are really good.

Lu Chuan had just gone online to check, and the configuration of Chen Kun’s computer alone would cost at least thirty to fifty thousand yuan each.

Currently, a regular home-use computer, with such a price, would be considered high-end; imagining a thirty to fifty thousand yuan desktop, you can see how high the configuration is.

The price of electronic products like computers knows no upper limit, while the lower limit is very low.

A slightly cheaper home computer can be had for just one or two thousand yuan.

Yet machines for specialized purposes can easily run into the millions.

Wu Kaiyue’s efficiency was impressive; by the afternoon, just before four, the computers were delivered.

And there was a special person sent to help set them up.

“Lu, don’t work overtime today, just deal with it when you come in tomorrow.”

“Alright.”

Lu Chuan didn’t see himself as a workaholic.

Work in Crime Scene Investigation follows a routine, especially when helping others.

Lately, Crime Scene has been pretty quiet, and the Forensic office hasn’t been too busy either.

Forensic Doctor Shen has recently been watching a drama called “Rising Waves.”

She’s gotten into Chinese medicinal health.

These days, when free, she’s always making soup in the autopsy room.

As Lu Chuan walked in, Forensic Doctor Shen was trying the broth.

“Lu Chuan, you’re here?”

Seeing Lu Chuan, Forensic Doctor Shen offered him a bowl of broth as if presenting a treasure.

“Come try this, it’s the kidney-nourishing soup I just made.”

Kidney-nourishing?

Lu Chuan instinctively lowered his head, thinking… At my age, do I really need this?

Seeing Lu Chuan’s instinctive reaction, Shen Yan’s face turned bright red.

That’s not what I meant at all.

Ahem ahem.

“Have a bowl.”

Lu Chuan felt it was best not to reject her goodwill.

Speaking of which, Forensic Doctor Shen’s interests usually lean towards the home.

Not long ago, when there wasn’t much going on, she even signed up for a cooking class.

Heard her cooking skills have improved a lot recently.

But still…

Making soup in the autopsy room…

Always feels a bit odd.
