Chapter 37 Apple
Luo Xun did not return to the police station.
He quietly followed Chi Xia.
What happened in the alley tonight was indeed very strange. He didn't even have time to ask her properly. He originally wanted to take the opportunity of sending her home to talk to her, but he didn't expect that this woman would not even give him a chance.
This was even more strange, wasn't she curious about how he suddenly appeared there?
But soon, something happened that made Luo Xun even more speechless.
Because, he, Luo Xun, the leader of the special task force of the Dongzhou General Administration, actually lost the person.
In such a short time, he, Luo Xun, lost Chi Xia!
Captain Luo stood there in a daze, looking at the empty streets, his heart choking. In just a few days, how many times had he been fooled by this woman Chi Xia?
The key is that he is speechless every time!
She had discovered that he was following her a long time ago, and she walked him all the way like she was walking a cat. In the end, she didn't want to play anymore, so she just walked away, leaving him alone and confused.
"Okay, Chi Xia, you are really a genius!" Luo Xun said gritting his teeth, turned around angrily and went back to his police station.
After Luo Xun left, Chi Xia came out from the darkness. She looked in the direction where Luo Xun left and smiled quietly. She didn't walk out until Luo Xun disappeared. Then she walked back home.
I have to say that Qu Bai's soup was really effective. After Chi Xia and Luo Xun went back home, they also felt sleepy. That night, neither of them was tortured by dreams again. When they woke up in the morning, Chi Xia was full of energy.
She was thinking about asking Qu Bai for advice when she had time, and it would be great if she could make that soup herself. As she was thinking this, she suddenly remembered that when they met yesterday, she even forgot to ask for Qu Bai's contact information, and she had long stopped using her previous social media accounts.
Thinking about Qu Bai's soup, Chi Xia went to the police station.
Before she arrived at the task force, Chang Youwei called her to his office. When she went in, she saw Luo Xun was there, standing next to Chang Youwei. When he saw her come in, he even glanced at her with a bit of resentment.
"Director Chang." Chi Xia called Chang Youwei obediently.
Chang Youwei was making tea and looked at her with a smile: "Sit down, sit down and talk."
Luo Xun complained: "I think you are too partial. I have been standing here for such a long time and you didn't let me sit down."
"How dare you say that." Chang Youwei glared at him. "It's not like I'm hurting any bones. What can standing for a while do to you?"
Then he switched to a friendly tone: "Xiao Xia, don't bother with him, he just has a bad temper."
Luo Xun rolled his eyes, sat down by himself, and even occupied the snacks that Chang Youwei brought from home.
Two big red apples.
He took a bite and was pleasantly surprised: "Not bad, Lao Chang, crispy and sweet."
The sound of him eating the apple sounded delicious, and Chi Xia restrained himself from swallowing his saliva.
"Why are you so shameless?"
Chang Youwei glared at him with a hurt look on his face, picked up another apple and stuffed it into Chi Xia's hand: "Xiao Xia, have an apple."
Chi Xia took it in his hand, but he didn't feel comfortable eating it like Luo Xun did.
Luo Xun took a tissue and wiped his mouth: "Everyone is here, what do you want to say?"
Chang Youwei took a deep breath, sat up straight, and his face became serious: "After a night of thinking, Chi Xia still can't transfer to another position. That's a waste of resources. There's no room for negotiation on this matter!"
Luo Xun ate the apple cleanly: "Yeah, got it."
This was a little unexpected for Chang Youwei, and he looked at Luo Xun for a second longer.
Luo Xun looked at him: "Why are you looking at me? Considering Chi Xia's previous performance, I will temporarily take back what I said about her, but whether Chi Xia leaves or not is none of my business."
Captain Luo was flexible and after saying this, he threw the fruit core into the trash can with a cool movement .
"I was thinking, if you don't want it, we Chi Xia have plenty of places to go."
Chang Youwei took out Chi Xia's file: "It would be a waste for us to come to our special task force just based on his file. Since you have some awareness, you can take a look at this file."
Luo Xun took the file from his hand and opened it.
Ranked first in my major for four consecutive years, with a minor in criminal psychology, and has participated in many national key case investigations...
Luo Xun became interested and took a closer look at the cases she was involved in.
"Linhai City's major serial murder case..." He suddenly raised his head and looked at Chi Xia: "Are you involved in this case?"
"Well, as a special consultant." Chi Xia explained: "I remember that Captain Luo, you also participated in that case."
"Then why haven't I seen you before?" Luo Xun asked her.
"I was out of town at the time and was not present," Chi Xia said. "I was responsible for behavioral analysis and portrait simulation of the suspect."
Luo Xun recalled that several team members had complained that instead of using a group of people with sufficient criminal investigation experience like them, they had to wait for an unknown person to conduct some behavioral analysis and simulation. They did not trust their superiors' arrangements at all, but were all slapped in the face in the end.
That was two years ago.
Luo Xun pursed his lips and finished reading all the information.
Then he stood up, looked at Chi Xia and held out his hand: "Officer Chi, are you still willing to join our task force?"
A completely serious inquiry, without any other emotions mixed in.
This is recognition of her.
Chi Xia put down the apple in her hand, stood up, and shook his hand: "Officer Luo, I'm honored."
At the moment when the two hands were clasped, what Chi Xia was thinking in his heart was that Luo Xun was indeed a man of great adaptability.
Chang Youwei was very happy to see this result. He patted his knees and said, "Okay, I am relieved that you are like this. Luo Xun, don't think that Chi Xia is here as an intern. She is a lucky person. You can't just treat her as an intern."
Luo Xun asked him: "Then may I ask you, what was your initial positioning for Chi Xia?"
"Captain." Chang Youwei took it for granted, and said with a little regret: "If you hadn't considered that everyone would be dissatisfied, you could have been promoted."
Luo Xun smiled: "What you mean is that I get promoted and Chi Xia takes my place?"
"No?" Chang Youwei asked.
"No." Luo Xun said firmly, and then glanced at Chi Xia: "I'm not targeting you. I'm in the special task force and I still have things to do. If my work is finished, anyone can take over."
Chi Xia said nothing, just smiled. It would be better for her to turn invisible at this time.
Chang Youwei seemed to have thought of the reason why he said that, and his face changed. He sighed, "Okay, Chi Xia's matter has been decided. Don't bully her anymore. Okay, get out. I'm busy."
Chi Xia nodded: "Then I'll go first."
Chang Youwei smiled and nodded at her.
Luo Xun saw the apple she had placed on the table, picked it up and followed her out, completely ignoring Chang Youwei's anger.
"You lost something." He caught up with Chi Xia.
Chi Xia was at a loss: "Captain Luo, what?"
Luo Xun stuffed the apple into her hand: "Don't think I didn't see you drooling, it's just an apple, why do you have to worry about it?"
Chi Xia laughed and took a bite in front of him. The sweet and sour taste filled her taste buds. She squinted her eyes and smiled: "Not bad, it tastes just like what I thought."
Luo Xun sneered. This woman was really good at pretending. She acted so well in front of others, but her true colors were exposed in front of him.
"Last night..." He glanced at Chi Xia: "Don't say you didn't notice that I was following you."
"Following me?" Chi Xia stopped and looked at him: "Captain Luo, you followed me? Why did you follow me?"
"Just pretend." Luo Xun gritted his teeth.
Chi Xia bit the apple with a crunch and smiled at him again.
The two had just walked a few steps when Luo Xun's phone rang. Chi Xia was wondering whether she should avoid it, but then she saw him raise his hand to stop her, and his expression became serious.
"There's a new case."
He said, "Go downstairs and go directly to the crime scene."
