The tension in the room has reached a fever pitch by the time Han returns. As he enters, everyone falls silent, anxiously awaiting news.
Han's face is ashen, his usual confident demeanor shattered. He takes a deep breath before speaking. "I've been informed that I'm now subject to an internal investigation."
The room erupts into chaos. Exclamations of disbelief and confusion fill the air.
"What?" "How is this possible?" "On what grounds?"
Han raises his hands, trying to calm the storm. "The Commissioner has concerns about the handling of this case. They're looking into potential procedural violations and conflicts of interest."
The team exchanges worried glances. The implications of this announcement are staggering.
"What does this mean for the investigation?" someone asks.
Han shakes his head. "I don't know yet. For now, we're to continue our work, but under increased scrutiny."
