Chapter 122: New Skill: Flower-Pattern Kidnapper

Early morning, sunlight spilled across everyone's faces, and at this moment, the group began their busy lives.

Some habitually opened the livestream and saw their favorite star washing up and getting out of bed, feeling a strong sense of immersion.

Now that the show had been airing for a while, everyone was used to watching it every day; older folks who weren't used to livestreams could watch it on TV—it just aired a bit later, that's all.

But the ratings were truly high—so much so that part of the broadcasting rights had even been taken by CCTV, who set up a variety-show segment on their legal-education program.

Legal-education programs were usually pretty dull, but thanks to the variety-show format and Chen Fan, they managed to pull in the ratings for that time slot.

During this period, all the other variety shows had been completely pushed aside, and the invitations for Chen Fan were absurdly numerous.

But what shocked people most was a certain video.

The video showed several police officers carrying a Second-Class Merit plaque, arriving at a small town.

Many children from the neighborhood were running around making a ruckus.

The officers came to Chen Fan's home and presented the plaque to his parents.

"We hereby present the Second-Class Merit plaque for Chen Fan."

The man and woman beamed from ear to ear.

This scene was also witnessed by everyone watching.

One had to know that those who earned a Second-Class Merit either died or were crippled—but Chen Fan's Second-Class Merit was well deserved.

Why so? Chen Fan had solved many murder cases, but those cases were actually all operated by Li Tian's side—after all, the reasoning and catching of suspects was all done by Li Tian.

But on the forensic side, the contribution and impact Chen Fan made was profound.

Sure enough, as soon as the variety show began today, several bigwigs had entered the office early, comparing the video.

A group of police officers stood at the door with smiles, hurriedly handing out cigarettes to forensic staff, or offering fruit, drinks, and the like.

Today's officers were even more numerous.

Interestingly, these officers were generally in their forties—young ones were rare.

After getting their cigarettes, everyone stood quietly in place, waiting.

Waiting for the results inside.

In the observation room, Hu Ge said: "I watched earlier and found that everyone has a 25-percent awareness—seems like real police officers always have a case or two on their mind."

Everyone understood perfectly.

Teacher He said: "Untying the knots in their hearts is today, so naturally this group is putting in a lot of effort."

When someone walked out with the evidence, their face beaming with joy, the others grew even more expectant.

But time was limited after all, and this round didn't last long. By noon, Old Liu called a halt, everyone took a break and agreed to grab some food together, with Li Tian in charge of hosting.

Some joined in, some didn't—each had their own things to be busy with.

"Why not handle a few more?"

Qin Ming said: "Actually, everyone here is a backbone of their respective industry. If they left, the forensic teams in those regions honestly wouldn't know how to do their jobs."

Everyone nodded.

It was understandable, but events like this really should be held several times a year—doing so could truly put a lot of people's minds at ease.

In the afternoon, a few teachers stayed behind to teach the trainees their own signature skills. With this craft, once someone took the lead in sharing, everyone else started sharing along too.

As for Chen Fan, he had ducked into the lab, away from the audience and away from the observation room, tinkering with who-knows-what on his own.

By evening, Chen Fan finally came out, yawned, looking thoroughly satisfied.

"Where did you go?"

Chen Fan returned to the observation room.
