Chapter 31 Slap
The night after the case was closed, the task force decided to have a dinner together to welcome Chi Xia and celebrate their success in solving the case.
After a quick glance, Cao Bin and Juanmao became interested: "Chi Xia, where did you go to school before you came to the task force? Dongzhou?"
Luo Xun then remembered that Chang Youwei only brought the person here and didn't even give him Chi Xia's resume.
Does this make sense?
It's extremely inconsistent.
"I'm from Dongzhou, but I went to the police academy in Qincheng."
Hearing the word Qincheng, Luo Xun glanced at Chi Xia.
"Qincheng?"
Lin Wenjue was also curious: "It's far from Dongzhou. One is in the south and the other is in the north. Dongzhou also has a police academy. Why do you want to go so far south?"
Chi Xia smiled and said, "I was young and wanted to go out and try my luck, so I went to Qincheng."
This is not difficult to understand. Most students want to move away from home after the college entrance examination.
But Lin Wenjue was still a little curious, and seemed to be hesitant to speak.
"Brother Lin, do you have anything else you want to ask?" Chi Xia asked him.
Lin Wenjue felt a little embarrassed, but Chi Xia didn't seem offended at all.
He still asked: "Um... During our investigation, you said you were 26 years old. Logically, you shouldn't have just graduated at this age. So you..."
"Something happened at home when I was studying, so I took a break from school for a while."
Chi Xia explained: "That's why the internship will start a little later."
"Yes, yes."
Lin Wenjue quickly stopped talking: "Hey? If you studied in Qincheng, then you should have heard of Lin Cuo and Jiang Yi from Qincheng. They are very famous in Qincheng and even in the entire police system."
Luo Xun picked up some food while glancing over inconspicuously.
Hearing these two names, Chi Xia smiled brightly and her whole body warmed up.
She said: "My portrait technique was taught to me by Senior Sister Lincuo, but as for Senior Brother Jiang, we haven't had much contact, so I don't know much about him."
There is actually such a connection.
"So you're Officer Lin's junior sister. No wonder you're so capable. Chi Xia, our task force welcomes you!"
Lin Wenjue picked up the teacup. Cao Bin and Juanmao also looked at him with a smile. Only Luo Xun was eating food as if no one was around.
"Luo Xun!"
Lin Wenjue called him, kicked him under the table, and winked at him : "Let's welcome Chi Xia!"
Luo Xun looked around at everyone and reluctantly picked up his teacup. Everyone's cups clinked together. He turned to ask Chi Xia, "Are you sure you don't want to consider changing your job?"
Today, he is going to commit another crime.
"I mentioned this to Director Chang, and he said he would consider it."
Chi Xia went to pick up some food with her head lowered , looking aggrieved.
Luo Xun:? ?
What did you say?
Curly was the first to open his eyes wide: "Chi Xia, why do you want to change your position? You are quite suitable for the task force!"
"Yeah, Xia!"
Cao Bin put down his chopsticks: "Captain, that's just talk. We all welcome you to join the task force!"
Lin Wenjue glared at Luo Xun fiercely.
Look at what you've done to the child!
Luo Xun also didn't react. Didn't she swear at the beginning that she was the same as men? Didn't asking her to change her job mean she looked down on her? Didn't she have to prove it to him? When did she find Lao Chang?
Luo Xun could feel that Lin Wenjue and Cao Bin were looking at him with resentment and anger.
"Um, Chi Xia."
Lin Wenjue smiled: "In fact, Captain Luo said that at the beginning because he was afraid that a girl like you would get hurt in the task force. Think about it, what kind of people are our task force facing, right? Those people have no conscience at all. You, a girl, are really in danger, and so is he..."
"I know Brother Lin."
Chi Xia raised her head and forced a smile: "The members of the task force have to go out frequently, and Captain Luo was afraid that a girl like me wouldn't be able to handle it. He was doing it for my own good. I have never blamed Captain Luo."
"Then we have to prove ourselves!"
Cao Bin said righteously: " It proves that you can do it. Look at that guy, didn't you catch Zhou Yanchen?"
"Yes Chi Xia, haven't you already proved yourself? The task force is so great!" Curly said.
"But there is no point in proving yourself in front of someone who doesn't recognize you."
Chi Xia seemed to sigh and put down his chopsticks: "Maybe Captain Luo is right, I am more suitable to go to the Propaganda Department."
"What do you mean by proving yourself to someone who doesn't recognize you is meaningless?"
Luo Xun finally understood the woman's trick: "Chi Xia, are you roasting me on the fire?"
At first, she spoke righteously, saying that he looked down on women, then she did the opposite and said that she would seriously consider changing her job. In the end, she successfully caught the murderer to prove herself, and then she made a feint to find Chang Youwei. Finally, during the meal, she said in front of everyone that she was leaving.
Haha, all the pressure is on him.
Let him be so mean in the first place!
Luo Xun now wanted to slap himself twice.
Everyone's eyes were on him. Luo Xun stood up as if nothing had happened: "I'm going to the bathroom."
"I'll go too!" Lin Wenjue and Cao Bin said in unison, and they both stood up at the same time.
As soon as Curly's butt left the stool, Cao Bin pushed him down: "Curly, are you chatting with Chi Xia?"
The two men almost pushed Luo Xun into the bathroom.
Chi Xia tried to hold back her laughter, fearing that she would not be able to hold it back.
After they left, Curly looked up and met Chi Xia's eyes, and they both laughed.
“That’s a good idea.”
Curly-haired smiled naively: "Chi Xia, our boss sometimes doesn't mean what he says. He is really worried that a girl like you will be in danger in the task force. People who don't know him will think that he looks down on you, but he is really a good person. Hey, I am betraying the boss, you must not give me away!"
"I know, Brother Yu." Chi Xia took a sip of water: "Don't worry, I will resolutely protect our secret."
Curly was still a little worried: "Then... you don't really want to change your position, do you? What if Director Chang really agrees?"
"No, we have already talked it over with Director Chang." Chi Xia smiled at him.
"That's good, that's good."
Curly Hair became happy, but still felt that he had to say a few words to Luo Xun: "Our captain is really good. Hey, you don't know, he is just...how should I put it, it's complicated to explain, anyway, he is really a good person."
"I know, and I'm determined to keep it a secret." Chi Xia exchanged glances with him, and they both laughed again.
Luo Xun had a hard time as he was criticized by Lin Wenjue and Cao Bin in the bathroom.
Lin Wenjue: "Look at you, Chi Xia is a girl, thin-skinned, you had to bully her like that, now you feel alright?"
Cao Bin: "Yes, Boss. Chi Xia was injured. We caught the criminal."
Lin Wenjue: "She didn't hold us back. Old Chang will definitely not want her to go to the Propaganda Department. If she goes to Team One or Team Two, it will be our loss wherever she goes."
Cao Bin: "Yeah, yeah, boss, don't you think we are just shooting ourselves in the foot?"
Luo Xun took a deep breath: "So what do you want to do?"
"A real man can bend and stretch. From the beginning, it was you who always attacked Chi Xia. Just admit your mistake. What else can you do?"
Lin Wenjue said sincerely: "For the sake of harmony among the team members, don't you think I'll go with you? Don't worry, I'll go with you, okay?"
Luo Xun was about to speak when his cell phone suddenly rang. He turned the screen to Lin Wenjue and Cao Bin, and the caller showed that it was Chang Youwei.
"You two, how about I scold you one by one first?" He said, pointing at his cell phone.
Lin Wenjue and Cao Bin consciously made way for him, both with sympathetic looks on their faces.
Cao Bin added: "Boss, I can also go with you to apologize! Don't be afraid!"
Luo Xun rolled his eyes, clicked the answer button and prepared to endure Chang Youwei's bombardment.
As a result, Chang Youwei's first words were: "Luo Xun, something happened in the prison, go check it out immediately."
Luo Xun's originally lazy expression suddenly turned cold: "Which prison? What happened?"
"In the First Prison, a death row inmate committed suicide."
Luo Xun's eyes narrowed again: "The death row prisoner committed suicide? I'll be there right away."
At the dinner table, Chi Xia also received a call.
She walked to a quiet place: "Uncle Joe."
"Chi Xia, Tu Guoan committed suicide." The man on the other end of the phone spoke in a serious voice.
"Why would he commit suicide?" Chi Xia was suddenly shocked: "He will be executed in a week, it is impossible for him to commit suicide at this time."
She suddenly paused and realized something.
"Someone will be held responsible for this matter." The other end also paused: "Don't act rashly."
"I know."
As Chi Xia said this, he saw Luo Xun get into the car, which then drove away quickly.
