   "So pretty! So pretty! [Almost crying][Almost crying]" A month of peaceful days passed in a flash. When Jiang Mian learned she had been assigned to the Linjiang City Criminal Investigation Detachment for her internship, she froze on the spot. She was talking to him about serious business, what did it have to do with shampoo? Had this man's brain short-circuited? Since he said that, she felt embarrassed to approach him again, silently moving aside, expressionless: "Now you can't smell it anymore, right?" Song Yan looked at her puffed-up profile, paused for a moment, then Jiang Mian lightly snapped her fingers, raised an eyebrow and smiled: "What do you think?" "Come on, let's go meet this Aunt Chen." Song Yan's lips curled into a very faint smile, he reached out and grabbed her wrist, leading her outside. Song Yan looked at her suppressed but undisguised joy, his cold gaze pausing slightly. A small amount of money can make her this happy? She's easily satisfied. Thinking this, the sharpness in his eyes softened slightly, but he still kept his lips tightly pressed together, not letting his emotions show too obviously. Song Yan watched her eat heartily without any restraint, a faint smile flashing across his eyes, so fleeting that even he didn't notice it. He always seemed to be more indulgent with Jiang Mian than with others. Jiang Mian stood there looking at him for a few seconds. The rain seemed to be intensifying again. She gritted her teeth and made a difficult decision: "Captain Song, could you come and help me? I'll get soaked if I walk." Song Yan obediently took a step forward. Jiang Mian slipped under the umbrella, secretly clutching his sleeve, her small face tense, staring straight ahead as if someone owed her millions. Song Yan couldn't help but tease, "Are you angry?" "No," Jiang Mian denied, but her tone carried a hint of resentment. "After the case is over, I'll treat you to barbecue," Song Yan said softly. "Captain Song, being self-righteous is a disease, it needs treatment. Don't take advantage of your poker face to wrongly accuse people; that's not the demeanor of a superior." Jiang Mian found herself increasingly fond of arguing with him. No matter how she argued, his face remained expressionless; it was impossible to tell if he was genuinely angry or just pretending. But those deep eyes couldn't hide his emotions. When did she notice this flaw? Probably the first time he brought her to the police station for questioning. Song Yan suddenly quickened his pace, his long legs almost like wheels of fire. Jiang Mian hurried to catch up, unable to suppress a slight chuckle. So even her poker-faced superior could get angry. Was he angry that she called him poker-faced, or angry that she had been disrespectful? "Captain Song, are you angry?" She leaned over, smiling sweetly. He was practically flying; he was clearly angry, but stubbornly refusing to admit it. "No, it's not. Your emotions are very obvious. You wouldn't show this 'rebellious' expression with other people." Song Yan didn't reply. He was used to suppressing his emotions, always maintaining a calm and restrained demeanor. But he also vaguely sensed that in front of her, his tense nerves would inexplicably relax. He didn't have to be so reserved, and those most subtle, genuine emotions would uncontrollably reveal themselves. Last night, she fell asleep while watching the security camera. She turned her head and glanced at the familiar coat covering her, a complex emotion flashing across her eyes. She then folded it neatly and placed it on the desk, intending to return it to Song Yan later. His gaze fell on Jiang Mian's workstation, and seeing the neatly folded coat, the corners of his mouth slightly lifted, a fleeting gentleness crossing his face. He felt a pang of annoyance; he had offended her again. For the next few days, he would inevitably have to endure her cold shoulder again. Sometimes he really wanted to sew his mouth shut. He didn't want to say those things, but the words came out faster than his thoughts. Song Yan sighed silently, carrying a lukewarm cup of coffee into the office. Jiang Mian, standing nearby, felt a surge of anger rising within her and was about to retort when Song Yan quickly grabbed her wrist and gently squeezed it. "Don't be impulsive. If you open your mouth, you'll be surrounded." Jiang Mian pursed her lips, nodded slightly, and stared coldly ahead. The reporters pressed closer, and her anger burned ever brighter. "I recognized all the colors at three, but I still can't distinguish black from white in this world," Jiang Mian said, clutching her laptop and barging in without knocking. The situation was urgent; she couldn't care less about formalities. Song Yan put down the documents in his hand, looked up at her, and saw that her cheeks were slightly flushed, a thin layer of sweat on her forehead, and she radiated an undisguised excitement and agitation. With two quick claps, Jiang Mian couldn't help but clap her hands, her face beaming with joy: "Congratulations, Captain Song, you guessed right!" Song Yan's gaze shifted slightly, his earlobes turning a faint red, and he said softly, "Just a random guess." Jiang Mian immediately looked up, pouting as she retorted, "This is no small sum for me, unlike you, a capitalist who wouldn't even look at such a small amount." Song Yan raised an eyebrow, his tone leisurely: "Looks like our colleague Jiang is easy to please. Next time, I'll just halve it for you, and you can give me the rest." Jiang Mian forcefully suppressed the urge to roll her eyes, forced a smile, and declared righteously, "Song the Skinflint, if you dare deduct my bonus, I'll report you for exploiting your employees and embezzling wages!" Song Yan frowned slightly: "Song the Skinflint?" "This is a compliment to your shrewdness and competence; you should be secretly pleased," Jiang Mian said nonchalantly. "Should I thank you for giving me such a unique nickname?" "You're welcome, it was nothing." Song Yan: ... He chuckled softly, "You're getting bolder and bolder." Jiang Mian instinctively hid behind Song Yan. Song Yan noticed and subtly stepped aside to block her view, his cold eyes fixed on the old lady, his gaze carrying an undisguised warning. Song Yan looked around; they were standing on a main road, with rows of mud-brick houses stretching below. Seeing that Jiang Mian's expression wasn't good, he took out a bag of chocolates from his pocket and handed it to her, his voice softening, "Have some candy to calm your nerves." Jiang Mian didn't stand on ceremony, taking it, opening it, and popping it into her mouth. The sweetness spread in her mouth, and the suffocating feeling in her heart subsided slightly. Seeing that her expression had softened, Song Yan handed her a bottle of water. "Why don't you stay there tonight? Xu He and I will keep you company in the car for the night." Song Yan zoomed in on the photo and looked at it carefully. Jiang Mian and Xu He also came closer, their heads almost touching his. He frowned slightly, raised his hand and pushed Xu He's head away, giving him a cold look. Xu He pouted and silently slipped to Liu Yizhou's side, muttering, "Boss is such a hypocrite. Why didn't he push Xiao Mian, but only me?" Liu Yizhou glanced at the barely perceptible tenderness in Song Yan's eyes when he looked at Jiang Mian, and raised an eyebrow: "The iron tree is about to bloom." Song Yan ignored his wailing, his brows furrowed, and his gaze immediately fell on Jiang Mian, full of worry: "Jiang Mian, are you alright? Did she do anything to you?" Xu He was so frightened that his soul almost flew away. He screamed and rushed out of the small room, grabbing Song Yan's arm, his voice trembling: "Boss, boss! Xiao Mian, she, she's playing with skulls!" Song Yan was investigating in the outer room. He was startled by Xu He's grab and was about to scold him when he heard the words "skulls." He immediately shook off Xu He's hand and rushed back inside. Xu He stood there alone, her lips trembling with grievance as she realized she had been ignored by Song Yan: "Boss... You double standard monster..." Just as she thought this, Song Yan hurriedly walked in with Jiang He. Seeing that she was alright, Song Yan felt slightly relieved. Jiang Mian was slightly taken aback, then a smile appeared in her eyes, and she said softly, "Old fox." Song Yan raised an eyebrow, a hint of mockery flashing in his eyes: "Aren't you one too?" Song Yan seriously tried to scare her: "She might think you're more outstanding, and be even more convinced that her son has struck gold, and she'll do anything to bring you to be her daughter-in-law." Jiang Mian: (⊙o⊙) Jiang Mian took out a chocolate from her pocket, unwrapped it, and put it in her mouth. This was a chocolate that Song Yan had secretly given her; eating something sweet while reasoning would make her brain more agile. Meanwhile, in another tent, someone was tossing and turning, staring at the messages in the group chat, unable to sleep. His fingertip hovered over the calico cat avatar several times, but after much deliberation, he still didn't click it. Finally, he threw his phone aside and closed his eyes. After walking for a while, Jiang Mian finally couldn't take it anymore. She abruptly stopped, grabbed Song Yan's arm, and pulled him to her side. Hands on her hips, she looked up angrily and said, "From now on, you walk beside me, and you're not allowed to follow behind me anymore! I'm afraid I might punch you." "You don't want to be the first police captain to be beaten up by your subordinate, do you?" Song Yan looked down, a smile in his eyes, quietly watching her. The girl glared at him angrily, her cheeks slightly puffed out, like a cat with its fur standing on end but not daring to bite. He couldn't help but chuckle softly. "What are you laughing at? Do you think I'm funny?" With this accusation thrown his way, Song Yan immediately stopped laughing, his face serious. "You misunderstood. I was just thinking that I'm about to become the first captain to be beaten up by my subordinate, and I'm a little excited." Jiang Mian's lips twitched, and she muttered, "Are you crazy?" Before quickening her pace without looking back. "Wait for me," Song Yan called softly, quickly following after her. Jiang Mian's aura suddenly turned somber, her eyes filled with hostility. Seeing her furious state, Song Yan gently tugged at her sleeve and softly advised, "Don't get angry with this kind of person; it's not worth ruining your health." "Fine, I'll go with you." Incited by the crowd, the old man glared, raised his calloused hand, and slapped Jiang Mian across the face with a fierce and swift motion. But Song Yan grabbed her wrist mid-air. Jiang Mian looked at the tall figure standing before her and subtly withdrew her hand. When Song Yan heard the words "no dating, no marriage," his fingertips paused almost imperceptibly, the faint smile on his face faded, and the light in his eyes dimmed slightly. He didn't speak, but his brows furrowed slightly, and even his breathing became unconsciously soft, as if afraid that any force would reveal the barely concealed resentment within him. Jiang Mian watched his retreating figure, then turned to Liu Yizhou with a blank expression: "What happened to him?" Liu Yizhou raised an eyebrow, his tone meaningful: "He has feelings, but I have no feelings for him." Jiang Mian: "｡◔‸◔｡" Jiang Mian looked at Song Yan, smiling earnestly: "Captain Song, I made the murderer faint, you won't scold me, will you?" Song Yan lowered his head and chuckled: "No, I've made murderers faint several times in the team." "In the Linjiang City Criminal Police Detachment, making people faint is commonplace." Jiang Mian: "(◔◡◔)" Song Yan raised an eyebrow: "Don't want to leave work early?" "Then hurry up and go." Jiang Mian immediately got up and walked quickly out. He watched that hurried figure, his gaze gentle and indulgent, yet hiding a hint of helplessness. The gavel fell, heavy as thunder. The belated trial finally restored the last bit of dignity for countless innocent souls. The boss wasn't angry; he was annoyed that Xiao Mian was so clueless. It was like casting pearls before swine, a peacock's display of feathers wasted effort. Xiao Mian wasn't greedy for money, nor for women, and… no, Xiao Mian was genuinely greedy for food. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been so fiercely protective of that bowl of spicy hot pot on their first meeting. Perhaps he should remind the boss to start with food? As the saying goes, the way to a person's heart is through their stomach. Song Yan took a deep breath, and after a long pause, finally spoke: "Jiang Mian, I'm a pretty good cook. Come to my house for dinner sometime after the case is over. I'll cook whatever you want." Jiang Mian looked up sharply, surprised. "I didn't know Captain Song could cook! Can I order whatever I want?" "Of course. I can cook even the most difficult dishes." Song Yan appeared calm and composed, but his hands at his sides were secretly sweating. Jiang Mian raised an eyebrow and smiled, "Since Captain Song has taken the initiative to invite me, I'll come over and try his cooking after the case is over." "You agreed, so you can't go back on your word." Song Yan's tone was somewhat urgent, afraid she would refuse. Jiang Mian looked at his cheeks, which were gradually turning red, and felt that Song Yan was particularly strange today, more reserved and shy than usual, and his thoughts were more complicated than usual. Song Yan's ear tips were already red, and upon hearing this, his entire face turned red all the way to his neck, and he was extremely embarrassed. Jiang Mian turned her head and saw his red face, and couldn't help but tease, "Captain Song, it's just some condoms, you're too innocent, making me feel like an old pervert." "As a man, you should know better than me what these things are used for." Jiang Mian said naturally. Song Yan's cheeks turned even redder, and he even slowed his breathing. He quickly turned his head away, stammering in a flustered manner, "I... I've never used them before." "Oh right, I forgot, you've always been single." Jiang Mian suddenly realized. A faint smile slowly rose on Song Yan's lips: "Your thoughts coincide with mine." Jiang Mian: "My honor." She then asked curiously, "By the way, how many years have you been the captain?" "Five years." Song Yan's smile faded slightly. "Then, wouldn't you be over thirty by now?" Song Yan: ? Looking at Jiang Mian's nonchalant demeanor, Song Yan quietly gazed at her, his gaze softening, a hint of barely perceptible bitterness hidden in his eyes. Jiang Mian's cheeks flushed slightly, her gaze inadvertently meeting Song Yan's smiling eyes. For some reason, being looked at like that by him made her face burn even hotter, and she hurriedly looked away. Why was he staring at her when there were so many people around? Did he have something on her face? This guy was acting strangely. Looking at her flustered expression, Song Yan couldn't help but smile. She could be shy too? Sun Tingting watched Jiang Mian chug cup after cup of coffee, while Song Yan brewed one cup after another. She wanted to speak several times, but swallowed her words back. A hint of heartache flashed in Song Yan's eyes: "Jiang Mian, don't be angry. Drinking too much coffee is bad for your health." Song Yan looked at Jiang Mian pacing back and forth, the corners of his lips curving slightly: "I've noticed you're quite stubborn. Once you've made up your mind, it's hard to shake it easily." Jiang Mian stopped, bracing her hands on the edge of the table, and slowly leaned closer to him, her eyes slightly upturned, a half-smile playing on her lips: "When it comes to stubbornness, I can't compare to Captain Song. In front of you, I'm just a little shrimp at best~" Her warm breath brushed lightly against Song Yan's face, and he unconsciously swallowed, his earlobes turning a faint blush. He turned his head, gently pushing away Jiang Mian who had leaned in, his cheeks burning. He said seriously, "Don't get so close, you..." Jiang Mian caught a glimpse of his red earlobes out of the corner of her eye, a mischievous glint in her eyes. Her smile deepened, and she deliberately leaned closer, until only a finger's width of space remained between them. "Captain Song, something's wrong with you~ Why don't you dare look me in the eye? Tsk tsk tsk, you wouldn't be..." The close proximity made Song Yan's gaze dart away, unable to meet her eyes. A faint pink hue spread from his earlobe to his neck. His Adam's apple bobbed again, and his breathing softened. He whispered in protest, "I just thought you were too close, and your perfume was a bit overpowering." Jiang Mian blinked, her face full of surprise. "I never wear perfume. How did you smell it?" "Captain Song, you always speak without thinking. You really should be sent to a training course." Her eyes were full of teasing, a faint smile playing on her lips. She slowly straightened up, her gaze still fixed on Song Yan. Song Yan kept his face turned away, not daring to turn to look at her. After a brief standoff, he finally turned his face away, trying to maintain a cold expression, his tone stiff: "Boring." As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Mian burst out laughing. Hearing her laughter, Song Yan's face burned even hotter: "Stop laughing, it's uncomfortable to hear." "I didn't expect Captain Song to have such a cute side, so easily teased. If you ever get a girlfriend who loves to flirt, you're in for a rough time," Jiang Mian continued teasing. She had finally found the right way to use Song Yan—tease him while investigating cases, see his blushing, embarrassed, and helpless expression—just thinking about it was satisfying. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but laugh again. All Song Yan could hear was Jiang Mian's teasing laughter. He felt both angry and embarrassed, and muttered, "Stop laughing! Get out!" Jiang Mian stopped laughing, her eyes still curved, deliberately drawing out her words, "Fine, I won't laugh then. Is it necessary to kick me out? Is Captain Song getting angry out of embarrassment?" Seeing Song Yan's face growing redder, she raised an eyebrow, stopped teasing him, and waved her hand with a smile, "Alright, alright, I'll leave. Don't be angry." With that, she turned and, as if she had some good news, hummed a tune and walked briskly out of the office. Song Yan: ˃̣̣̥᷄⌓˂̣̣̥᷅ Jiang Mian hesitated for a moment, then naturally reached out and grabbed Song Yan's wrist to check his watch, her warm fingertips brushing against his slightly cool skin. Song Yan paused slightly, his fingers, which had been lying flat, subtly curled, but he didn't pull his hand away, letting her hold it. Song Yan and Jiang Mian leaned back in their seats, resting with their eyes closed. At some point, Jiang Mian's head tilted to the side, and she fell into a deep sleep, resting on Song Yan's shoulder. Song Yan quietly lifted his eyelids, his gaze falling on her peaceful sleeping face. A slight smile unconsciously crept onto his lips. He secretly hoped that such moments could be shared more often, slowly closing the distance between them. Song Yan subconsciously glanced at Jiang Mian beside him, cleared his throat, and said, "I repeatedly reviewed the surveillance video at the entrance of Qiuling Mountain and noticed a very inconspicuous habitual movement of Wu Ruoxi." "Rubbing her back." "Rubbing her back." Song Yan and Jiang Mian spoke simultaneously, both startled, their eyes meeting unexpectedly. Seeing Jiang Mian's slightly surprised gaze, Song Yan hurriedly looked away, a faint blush creeping onto his ears. An inexplicable awkwardness and embarrassment filled the air. Song Yan: Ծ‸Ծ He was helpless. Every time this kind of topic came up, he would inevitably get caught in the crossfire, causing Jiang Mian to misunderstand. In her heart, his credibility was probably comparable to that of a paramecium. He slightly raised his eyes, his gaze clear and innocent, looking at Jiang Mian with a wronged expression. Jiang Mian completely ignored his aggrieved look. She was slightly taken aback, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes: "Don't you think I'm selfish and cold-blooded? From childhood to adulthood, all my relatives have said that about me. They all say I can even laugh when my biological father passes away." "I haven't experienced the grievances and pain you've suffered, so naturally I have no right to judge you. Besides, in my eyes, you've never been a cold-blooded person. You live vibrantly, rationally, and clearly." Jiang Mian's mouth gaped open in shock. Had Song Yan been possessed? This usually cold and taciturn person was actually saying such comforting words. It was completely unlike his usual persona. She reached out and touched Song Yan's forehead, muttering softly, "Do you have a fever? Why are you talking nonsense?" Song Yan's back tensed instantly, as if burned. His Adam's apple bobbed violently, and a thin blush slowly rose to his usually expressionless face, his ear tips turning almost bloodshot. He awkwardly turned his head away, his tone stiff, but unable to hide the panic in his heart: "I, I don't have a fever." He said this, but his body didn't pull away, even deliberately softening his breathing, afraid of disturbing her hand. Jiang Mian touched it for a moment; it was icy cold. Her face was blank: "No fever." As soon as she finished speaking, she noticed Song Yan's bright red ear tips and, out of curiosity, reached out to touch them. Song Yan suddenly raised his hand and grabbed her wrist, his voice lower than usual, with a hint of barely perceptible hoarseness: "What do you want to do?" Jiang Mian looked down at the box of chocolates, a slight stirring in her heart. This was the best-tasting chocolate she had ever eaten. She had wanted to buy some online to stock up, but found it wasn't sold in China. Later, she learned it was a niche imported brand, hard to find in stores. Since the case in Kuling Village ended, Song Yan had given her two boxes. She ate one, and the rest were still in her drawer. Now he had brought her another box. "Song Yan, you're giving me chocolates like they're free!" "It's a waste to leave them gathering dust in the drawer. Since you like them, I'll give them to you as snacks." Song Yan said, reaching out to open the box. Jiang Mian quickly stopped him, hugging the chocolate tightly to her chest, and looked up at him earnestly, saying, "Don't eat them now. Opening the packaging will make them get damp, and the taste will be worse." Song Yan chuckled and agreed. Looking at her, Song Yan felt both helpless and amused. What else could she do? Accept her fate. Beside the stove, Song Yan, wearing an apron, stood focused, his spatula moving deftly and skillfully. The warm yellow flames illuminated his handsome profile, making him exceptionally pleasing to the eye. Song Yan seemed to sense something and looked up. Jiang Mian, caught off guard, met his gaze, startled, her heart fluttering slightly. She quickly looked away, her ears flushing slightly. Only then did she belatedly realize that she had been staring intently at his face. How dare he! "I've liked you for a long time." A cold mountain wind brushed against the railing, and fine snowflakes drifted between them. Song Yan held his breath, quietly awaiting her reply. Jiang Mian, seeing his serious expression, reached out to hold the railing, gazing at the vast expanse of white snow in the distance. "Actually, I've known about your feelings for me for a long time. Your expressions are too obvious. You blush easily when you're near me, and your ears turn red after just a few jokes. You even stutter when you speak. I've just been pretending not to know." Song Yan looked at her profile and understood. It turned out that she had seen through his feelings, which he couldn't hide. For some reason, he felt a sense of relief. He let out a long breath, calming his wildly beating heart, and asked softly, "And what about you?" "I've seen too many people hurt by broken relationships, whether it's my mother or Chen Si and the others. People entangled in relationships will ultimately suffer for a lifetime. I don't dare gamble." "My parents' marriage was rotten and oppressive. My father used to frequently abuse my mother. When I was little, I rushed to stop him, but he kicked me to the ground. I broke three ribs that time and spent three months in the hospital. My mother took care of me the whole time; my father never once visited me, not even a word of concern. Later, he resented my mother for being preoccupied with daily chores and not knowing how to please him, so he had an affair and fathered a child with his mistress." "In the end, my father, his mistress, and that illegitimate child died in a fire. My mother couldn't accept my father's death, developed severe depression, and eventually died of depression." "My mother knew perfectly well that the other man had already changed his heart, and the vows they made were long gone, yet she still loved him so stubbornly. I don't want to go down the same path as her, giving my all to love someone, only to end up being betrayed and left with nothing but scars." After Jiang Mian finished speaking, the light in Song Yan's eyes dimmed. He stood frozen, the hope that had just ignited within him slowly dissipating. He gazed at her silently for a long time without speaking. Then, the disappointment in his eyes faded, leaving only a deep heartache. His voice was low as he said, "Having experienced all this since childhood, anyone would instinctively be wary when facing love." His gaze softened as he looked at her. "Your mother's experiences, coupled with the cases she handles, make it perfectly normal to instinctively resist because of the darkness in relationships." "If it were me, I would do the same." Song Yan glanced at the distant, dark, rolling mountains, then his gaze returned to Jiang Mian's face, his expression exceptionally serious. "I won't force you to lower your guard, nor will I rush for an answer." "From now on, I'll be careful not to bring up feelings directly again, so as not to burden you." "But I won't deliberately distance myself. You can observe and test the waters slowly. When you're willing to open your heart is entirely up to you. Until then, I won't rashly reveal my feelings and bother you." Jiang Mian shifted her gaze to the distant snow-capped mountains, then her eyes returned to Song Yan's face. "Captain Song, I'm not deliberately recounting my past to gain sympathy. I can't reciprocate your feelings in a short time. I'm used to being alone, and I haven't yet learned to love someone unconditionally. I don't want to hold you back." Song Yan raised his eyes, a forced smile playing on his lips: "It's okay. Actually, our family situations are quite similar. I understand your predicament." "Besides, you're excellent enough, rational and insightful. My feelings for you are my own business; I won't force you to give an answer." The sky gradually darkened, and the snow fell heavier. Seeing Jiang Mian staring at him, he chuckled, "What's wrong? Such an outstanding girl, am I not allowed to like her?" Meeting her still-observant gaze, his voice softened, carrying a hint of caution, "If I can't openly admire you, then I can secretly admire you, right?" "Pfft." Jiang Mian couldn't help but laugh out loud. "Captain Song, you're quite cute." "You ran up to me, and in my memory, you never opened the door." "So you were staring at me the whole time, huh?" Jiang Mian teased. "Otherwise?" Song Yan's fingers tightened on the steering wheel, his lips unable to suppress the upward curve of his mouth, "It means you're all I see and think about." "Stop being cheeky." Jiang Mian smiled helplessly, "Please go back to how I first met you. The way you are now, I can only think of one word to describe you." "Which word?" Song Yan's tone was lazy, with a clear smile. "You're so flirtatious." Song Yan paused, then raised an eyebrow, his eyes filled with a knowing smile. "It's an honor to be praised like that by you." Jiang Mian: ｡◔‸◔｡ Jiang Mian simply didn't bother to reply, afraid that if she said anything more, she would just give him another chance. Watching his slightly forlorn figure, Jiang Mian couldn't help but smile, then sat down and picked up her diary to read. "Our pursuit of the murderer is simply to uphold the bottom line of the law and give all victims and all cases a fair and compliant outcome."
