Hearing the busy tone on the phone, Clement didn't care. He threw the folder back to the secretary and said without any emotional fluctuation:
"Keep a close eye on Luo An Greenwood."
"Understood, Chief."
The secretary turned to leave, and Clement lowered his head to continue reviewing the report while muttering to himself in a low voice:
"Solving a serial murder case in a short period of time, he indeed has talent. But... it's still not enough."
Rank and such were merely excuses Clement used to fob off Virene.
The real reason Clement denied the application was because he couldn't be sure whether Luo An's success in cracking the murder case this time was just a fluke, or if he truly had the necessary investigative abilities.
In the world, many cases are solved due to the case handler's luck.
Unless Luo An can crack the "Lake Serial Murders" written in the files in a short period of time, let this application wait a bit longer.
