"Uh, I'm a married man now, you know!"
"What's the big deal? Why don't I also go to Guangming City? Last time I saw you bring back a disciple, and that guy seems to have a close relationship with He Xin, right?"
"Oh? How did you figure that out?"
"Them, sigh, anyway, He Xin looks at her differently. It seems they've been together for some time, and you, as a father, only found out later!"
Ugh... I didn't expect Du Wantian to see everything. I thought she was silly. Alright, since she wants to leave the old house, let's go together. After all, my family situation is too busy. If Du Wantian can help out in Guangming City, it would be much better.
However, when I drove back to the police dormitory in Guangming City, Liu Yuning was puzzled when she saw me bringing Du Wantian back, "What do you mean? Two women living together?"
"She's going to be a little nanny. Then we won't have to worry about housework when we're at work. Wasn't it like this when we were at the courtyard house?"
"Little nanny, hmph!"
Liu Yuning got up from the sofa and went straight back to her room. Du Wantian smiled awkwardly, "I feel like I didn't come at a good time!"
Pfft...
If you had come earlier, Liu Yuning would have been even more annoyed. But I didn't say it out loud, I just thought about it in my heart. I asked Du Wantian to help wipe the windows that hadn't been touched for more than ten years, and also to wash the clothes we hadn't washed for months. Du Wantian was quite embarrassed at the time, saying, "Do we have to be so busy?" I patted my head and said, "Sometimes!"
The next day, when we returned to the provincial department, we heard that Cao Yushu had been sentenced. Gao Mingqiang was extremely excited and asked about his sister. Gao Mingqiang said that with her skills, she could probably get into the provincial department. I considered it at the time, but I still conducted an assessment for Gao Meng.
In the afternoon, I met Gao Meng alone. "Gao Meng, I know you understand the 'Guilty Instigators' well and have learned a lot about crime. But if you really want to be a people's police officer, you must understand and grasp some principles!"
"I understand, don't worry, I won't repeat the same mistakes!"
"Alright, I'll ask you some basic questions now."
"Okay!"
"If you suddenly hear a woman scream on the street, and you run into an alley to find more than a dozen people surrounding a woman, and they are fighting each other, but the woman is holding a box and isn't afraid, what would you do?"
"Of course, I would call for backup first to catch them all. Although these people aren't from the same group, the woman is definitely a criminal! They're fighting because of a dispute over dividing loot."
"En, good, second question..."
My assessment lasted until the evening. Gao Meng answered all my questions fluently, without leaving anything out. She seemed like a natural-born criminal detective. Moreover, she was very familiar with the internal workings of the Guilty Instigators. Not using such a person would be a significant loss to our Punishment Group.
So I agreed to Gao Meng's request. With that, our Punishment Group gained another "madwoman."
The next day, I held a welcome party for her. The members of the Punishment Group used Sprite as white wine and fried noodles as delicacies to welcome Gao Meng's addition. As one of our investigators, Gao Meng would probably bring a lot of help to the group in the future.
Because there were no cases requiring our attention all day, we ate, drank, and had fun until the evening. Of course, this situation was limited to our Punishment Group office; work outside proceeded as usual.
When we were about to get off work, we didn't hear any emergency broadcasts, so we went home one by one. This time, He Xin could also return early. But I had eaten a bit too much today, so everyone washed up and went to sleep when they got home.
He Xin was quite excited to know that Du Wantian had arrived. If she weren't pregnant, she would have probably wanted to sleep with her. Knowing He Xin's condition, Du Wantian took good care of her. By the time He Xin was about six months pregnant and her belly was showing, she couldn't go to work anymore.
The Information Technology Department could only rely on Yuan Hezih for the time being, but He Xin also recommended a few more people to help.
It was good that Du Wantian came, as she could take care of He Xin. Liu Yuning and I continued to be busy with our work, slacking off in the office when there was nothing to do, and going out on duty when there was. However, for some reason, there hadn't been any cases for several months.
Is it almost Chinese New Year? Are the criminals busy going home for the holiday? Recently, Ling Xiaotao seemed to be working very hard. One time, when He Xin accidentally returned to the provincial department, she noticed that Ling Xiaotao looked at me strangely. She quietly told me, "Father, that guy seems to like you!"
"What the heck! Don't talk nonsense, I am now..."
"No, this is a woman's intuition. Sigh, it seems you're in for a love triangle."
"Don't say that. Anyway, I will absolutely not have an affair!"
"I think so too. Yuning's mother is so excellent, Ling Xiaotao definitely has no chance! But recently Ma Biao seems to be... that guy is really a troublesome thing!"
"Hmph, don't believe those rumors. Although we've had some conflicts recently, as a couple, these things happen sometimes. It'll be fine in a few days!"
"Uh huhuhuhu, I'm going back, otherwise Du Wantian will be looking for me everywhere again!"
"Good that you know!"
After talking with He Xin just now, I was bored, leaning against the office chair, daydreaming. However, the gossip of my colleagues about Liu Yuning and Ma Biao kept echoing in my mind. Really, why do people always like to gossip? It's annoying. Suddenly, I felt an urge to leave the office and take a walk...
However, this walk led me to an unprecedented disaster. It had been 5 hours since I went out, but I felt like I was on a great escape. I hid near an abandoned hotel and heard my colleagues discussing what had just happened.
Damn it! Could it be that the Guilty Instigators deliberately slandered me? But how did they manage to do it?
There's no other way, I have to withdraw for now. Those people must all think I killed Ma Biao now!
Ma Biao was no one else but the newcomer I mentioned before. Why did this conflict arise? It probably dates back to two months ago, not long after the plague case was resolved.
I later found out that Ma Biao was the son of Vice Minister Ma. No wonder he came to our provincial department. It turned out that Vice Minister Ma had intentionally arranged it. Shortly after Ma Biao arrived, he seemed very inept at first. But then, for some reason, he became closer and closer to Liu Yuning. Rumors of their unusual relationship even spread throughout the provincial department...
