Zhang Hancheng's office.
"Shen Xin, let me remind you of one thing: be cautious."
Zhang Hancheng's expression was grave.
He already knew that Shen Xin had accepted Xu Jinguang's request and was preparing to investigate the 11-2 case series.
Before his departure, Zhang Hancheng had specifically called him in to offer some words of caution.
"A nine-year-old case, six lives... you don't even have to think about it to know how much pressure the original task force was under."
"People being what they are... after nine years on the back burner, I can tell you this much: not everyone is going to welcome you with open arms."
After nine years, the police in both locations naturally wanted to solve the case, but in Zhang Hancheng's view, a portion of them definitely hoped one of their own would crack it, not some outsider.
Such is human nature.
"So, Shen Xin, be cautious. You need to have a good handle on how to navigate this situation," Zhang Hancheng reminded him gravely.
