The Underlying Reasons I Chapter 5

"Bang!" The firecrackers exploded the moment the door was opened, followed by colorful ribbons coming towards us.

"Welcome back, Brother Jin!" Several voices cheered happily at the same time.

"Oh, thank you everyone, thank you thank you." Jason lowered his head to pick off the ribbons that were sprayed all over his head and answered with a smile.

"Brother Jin, are your eyes really okay?" Rosa came over and asked, looking into Jason's eyes.

"Well, it's okay." Jason replied with a smile, his black eyes flashing with a gentle light.

Jason is the leader of the forensic team of the S City Police Department. Half a year ago, a suspect splashed a chemical reagent into his eyes during a mission, causing corneal burns. He later underwent a corneal transplant and finally recovered after half a year of treatment and recuperation. Today is his first day back to work.

Speaking of the police station in S City, there are two departments that are particularly famous, one is its serious crime team, and the other is the forensic team. Unlike many local forensic departments that can only collect fingerprints and analyze traffic accident scenes, the forensic team in S City is a fairly complete independent organization. It has several laboratories such as physics, chemistry, firearms, and audio and video image analysis, which can conduct a fairly comprehensive and detailed analysis of the case scene. Moreover, its database is also quite powerful. It not only has common fingerprint libraries, criminal image libraries, and ballistic databases, but also chemical substance atlas libraries, as well as the soil hydrology database of S City. These are the results accumulated by the members of the S City Forensic Team over the years. With these powerful databases, the forensic team has found important clues in many major cases, providing a guarantee for the rapid detection of cases. It can be said that the reason why the S City Serious Crime Team has the highest case-solving rate in the country is inseparable from the technical support of its powerful forensic team.

To match, the members of the forensic team are also experts in various fields. The forensic team is divided into two categories: technicians and appraisers. Technicians are equivalent to staff members, mainly responsible for some basic or trivial work, while appraisers are formal members of the forensic team, responsible for investigating and collecting evidence at various crime scenes. Several appraisers in the S City Forensic Team have their own strengths: Jason: 33 years old, head of the forensic team, senior appraiser, chemical analyst. Although he majored in chemistry, he is also very good at physical analysis. I don’t know if it’s because of his family education, he can always quickly find useful information from complex evidence. His "special ability" has always been envied and hated by everyone in the forensic team.

Liam, 30 years old, deputy leader of the forensic team, senior appraiser, chemical analyst, specializes in chemical identification of evidence. Liam is a very meticulous and patient person. No matter how complicated the evidence is, he can analyze it carefully and find clues from it.

Rosa, female, 27 years old, intermediate appraiser of the forensic team, physical analyst. Although her name contains the word "Rou" (rou), and she looks like a well-behaved girl next door, she has a very generous personality. Moreover, she is good at the physical identification of weapons and explosives. This tough profession often leaves the men who want to pursue her dumbfounded.

Su Mohan, 28 years old, is a mid-level forensic expert and physical analyst. Su Mohan is an expert brought in from another city by Jason. He is short and introverted. At first, no one knew why Jason was optimistic about this person, but later everyone found out that Su Mohan was the legendary person who never forgot what he had seen, whether it was past cases or news reports. Everyone found that asking Su Mohan about looking up information was faster than surfing the Internet, because voice was supported here. As a result, Su Mohan quickly became an indispensable mobile encyclopedia for the forensic team.

"By the way, Brother Jin, let me introduce someone to you." Liam said, pulling over a boy who had been quiet all the time: "This is Henry, the new audio and video analyst. Henry's computer skills are very good and he has helped us solve many problems."

"Hello, Team Leader Cheng." Henry Shen nodded politely. He was very young, looking only about twenty-four or twenty-five, with a slightly round baby face and the appearance of a good student.

"Well, hello." Jason greeted Henry with a smile: "You don't have to call me team leader, just call me Brother Jin like everyone else."

"Yeah, Brother Jin." Henry showed a slightly immature smile.

At this moment, with a "bang", the door of the forensic team's office was suddenly pushed open, and Chris and Quentin rushed in, shouting loudly: "Brother Jin! Welcome back!!" Behind them followed Felix, Jiang Li, and forensic doctor Ryan.

"Oh! Thank you, thank you." Jason responded with a smile.

"Brother Jin, how are your eyes? Have they fully recovered?" Chris asked, looking into Jason's eyes.

"Yeah, it's all right."

"Haha, that's great! Brother Jin, we missed you so much."

After this group of people dispersed, Ryan slowly walked over, picked up an apple on the table and threw it over.

Snap! Jason caught the apple accurately with his hands.

Seeing Jason's action, Ryan smiled with relief: "Well, it looks like you are really healed. Well, now I am relieved. If you are not well again, I will really cut a pair of corneas for you from some corpse."

"Haha, I don't need to bother you for now." Jason replied with a smile. He glanced at the people who came in and suddenly asked: "Oh, by the way, why don't I see Team Leader Li?"

After these words were spoken, everyone in the serious crime squad was stunned.

"Brother Jin, Team Leader Li has been promoted and transferred to another city, and the serious crime squad has a new team leader." Liam explained to Jason.

"Oh, really?" Jason asked, "Who is the new team leader?"

"A difficult guy." Chris picked up a small food bag on the table and rubbed it in his hands, saying weakly.

"Hmm? Is that so? I think he just looks a little cold, but he's an okay person, right?..." Ryan interrupted.

"Hehe..." Chris rolled his eyes.

"What's going on?" Jason looked at Felix.

Felix smiled helplessly: "This matter is a bit complicated. Our new team leader is Sean. He had something to do today, so he didn't come. Let me apologize to you."

"What do you mean by 'something'? I think he's just making excuses!" Chris interrupted dissatisfiedly: "I didn't see him have any problems before. As soon as we said that Brother Jin was reinstated, he immediately stammered and said that something was wrong. Look at his awkward face. Who is he trying to fool?"

Chris was dissatisfied with Sean's unkind behavior just now. He did not notice that Henry, who had been silent, changed his expression instantly when he heard these words.

"Really? Is there such a thing?" Jason touched his chin and recalled that he didn't seem to know anyone called Sean, so it shouldn't be that he had offended him. Thinking of this, he smiled with relief: "Maybe he is really busy, it doesn't matter, we will see each other anyway. Well, everyone is happy enough, it's time to work. Xiaorou, did you buy these firecrackers and snacks?"

"Yes! How about it, Brother Jin, not bad, right?"

"Well, since you bought it, you are responsible for cleaning it up. Remember, don't leave any traces."

"Ah?!" Rosa's sunny smile suddenly froze on her face.

"Everyone else, start working!" Jason turned and walked towards his office.

When Jason walked back to the office, a burst of laughter suddenly broke out outside. Chris said gloatingly: "Haha!...Have you forgotten that Brother Jin has mysophobia? Hahaha, Rosa, you are finished..."

"Chris, stop gloating over my misfortune! You ate a lot just now! Help me clean up!..."

"Don't come on! I'm not free!..."

"If you don't help me, I won't help you with the identification, believe it or not!..."

Returning to the office he had been away from for more than half a year, Jason felt a sense of familiarity. The office was still the same as before the vacation, the only difference was that some documents had been placed on the table. Jason flipped through them casually, and found that they were all case records from the past few months.

"I know you will definitely want to look at the case records of the recent period when you come back, so I put them on the table for you." Liam walked in and explained with a smile.

"Well, OK, thank you." Jason smiled: "Thank you for your hard work over the past six months."

"It's nothing. Everyone is working very hard and I'm not worried about it." Liam said with a smile.

"Thank you." Jason smiled and said, "By the way, can you tell me what case you are working on recently? I haven't worked for a long time, and I want to find something to do quickly."

"There's a case that's quite interesting recently." Jiayu naturally understood Jason's feelings, so he got straight to the point. He simply and clearly told Jason about the case. "......The serious crime team moved a lot of things over this morning, waiting for us to help find clues."

"Vampire? Haha, this is new!" Jason stood up excitedly: "Then let's get started!"

In the evening, Jason came to the office of the serious crime team. There was no one outside, and it seemed that everyone had gone home after get off work, but there was a figure vaguely in the team leader's office, who should be the new team leader that everyone was talking about.

Jason walked to the office and knocked on the door.

"Please come in." A cold voice came from inside. This unique voice made Jason slightly stunned.

Could it be him? ...

Jason pushed the door open and walked in. Sean inside had just hung his coat on the hanger. He turned around and looked at Jason, and asked, "Excuse me, who are you looking for?"

Hearing this, Jason was completely certain that this person was the policeman he met in the hospital. That's right, he said at the time that he was a policeman - working in the S City Police Department, but the only person who didn't recognize him was probably the newly transferred team leader.

So he smiled and said, "I'm looking for you, Officer Shen."

"Looking for me?" Sean was a little surprised by the attitude of the person who came. He couldn't help but take a closer look at him. With a tall figure and a handsome face, he should have never seen this person before. But why did he always feel like he had seen him somewhere? ......

Seeing Sean's confused expression, Jason smiled even more: "Haha, you really don't remember?"

!

This smile and that tone, Sean suddenly remembered: "You are the person in the hospital that day!"

"Haha, Captain Shen, you finally remembered." Jason laughed.

Sean's usually expressionless face showed a rare surprise. He stood up and walked over: "Why are you here? What do you want to talk to me about?"

Jason looked at him with a smile but did not answer immediately.

Sean looked at Jason with some doubt. The man was wearing a white coat and just looked at him with his hands in his pockets. Wait!

Only then did Sean notice that the man in front of him had a name tag on his clothes, which clearly read: Jason, head of the forensic team.

Sean opened his eyes wide in surprise: "You...you are the leader of the forensic team, Jason?..."
