Chapter 101 Chapter 101 A Hero Saves a Beauty A Head Full of Question Marks...

Spring is here and the weather is getting warmer. We no longer have to freeze our hands when riding our bikes to work.

Qiu Jiang was also extremely grateful that this cold winter was over.

She can also change into some beautiful clothes.

As the men from Team 5 entered the office, they exclaimed "Wow!"

"Zizizizi, spring has truly arrived! The beauties from our fifth team are such a feast for the eyes."

Some people's mouths were as sweet as honey, making the girls, who had taken off their winter clothes earlier than the boys and put on colorful beautiful skirts and coats, particularly happy.

"You have good taste! I bought this dress a long time ago, waiting to wear it in spring. Finally, I can wear it."

"Haha, I think your clothes are beautiful too. Where did you buy them?"

"Huayin Cave."

"Huh? Which store?"

"Oh, it's hard to find there. If you want to buy something next time, call me. There's a small shop over there. It's not big, but all the clothes are imported from Beijing. They're all the latest styles. The prices are a bit high, though. This outfit hurts me."

"So how much did you spend on this outfit?"

The sister held up five fingers.

When she stretched out her finger, everyone was shocked and gasped.

"Wouldn't it cost you all your salary to buy two sets of clothes this month?"

"Who said it wasn't? That's why I feel so bad."

"That's definitely a pain in the ass. I'm a little reluctant to buy something so expensive."

"But women should treat themselves well sometimes. It's not expensive, so even if I buy one for myself, I'll feel good."

"this……"

"Are you going? If you are, let's go shopping together on the weekend."

Women are naturally unable to resist the temptation of beautiful clothes, and some of them are deeply attracted after hesitation.

“Hmm…”

Qiu Jiang hummed a little tune as she walked happily into the office. Seeing them chatting happily, she smiled and went over to them, "What are you talking about?"

When Wang Meilin and the others saw her, their eyes lit up.

"Jiang Jiang is so beautiful today."

"hey-hey."

Qiu Jiang was very happy to be praised and spun around in front of them.

A goose yellow gauze skirt swayed with her circles, revealing her shiny beige leather shoes. Paired with a cotton waistcoat of the same color as the shoes, she looked quite youthful and beautiful, as bright and charming as the spring forsythia.

Not only were they attracted, but the young men in the team also gathered around her with red faces, unwilling to take their eyes off her, and words of praise came out one after another.

"Our Jiang Jiang looks good even without any makeup, but she's even prettier now."

"That's right, this is so beautiful."

"Hehe, Jiang Jiang is worthy of being the police beauty of our bureau. Such a beautiful girl is actually my colleague. I'm so happy. I just don't know which guy can get the upper hand first."

"Why, Jiang Jiang is so beautiful, don't you have the idea of being close to her?"

Li Shen chuckled, "Of course I have my own thoughts, but I do have some self-awareness. If Jiang Jiang were to be with me, it would be like throwing flowers on cow dung. As a good brother, of course I hope she finds a good partner."

This was quite a clever statement, and Wang Meilin gave him a thumbs-up. "But let me be frank. If you really don't have any ideas, don't blame me for introducing Jiang Jiang to someone. I have many outstanding young men waiting to be introduced."

Not sure if Wang Meilin was joking or not, Qiu Jiang widened her eyes.

She hasn't thought about this yet.

Although I have been working for several months, and in ancient times most people of my age would have married and had children, I haven't graduated yet. How can I fall in love since I am still in school?

She was a little bit overwhelmed by herself.

"Huh? What era is this? Jiang Jiang, how come your little brain is even more rigid than ours?"

Qiu Jiang blinked, "Solid?"

Is her thinking rigid?

"Of course." Everyone said in unison.

"Have you never been in love?"

Qiu Jiang shook her head.

In her previous life, she was only sixteen when she died. She was the only child of her parents. Naturally, her parents were reluctant to marry her off early, so they never arranged to choose a husband for her.

After arriving here, she was indeed three years older, but she was completely clueless in her past and present lives and did not think that falling in love was necessary. In addition, she had a job that she loved, so she was too busy to find someone to fall in love with.

So I'm sorry to disappoint them.

They really never expected it.

After all, she looks surprisingly good. Not only does she have smooth skin, but her facial features are also very lively, and her eyes are big and bright, making people unable to look away. She is qualified to debut as a star.

In their perception, a girl with such looks should be the kind of girl that little boys would do anything to pursue, but it turns out that she has never had a partner so far?

It's such a waste of resources.

They acted like she had missed out on hundreds of millions.

If Ji Mingcheng hadn't coughed at the door, they could still have talked to her about the benefits of being in a relationship.

But now that the leader is here, there’s nothing we can do.

Ji Mingcheng glanced at everyone, blatantly stood in front of Qiu Jiang, raised his hand and gently tapped her forehead.

"If you don't want to date, then don't date. You're still young and easily deceived. It's in your best interest to work hard and strive for a promotion now. As for men, it doesn't matter if you want one or not. If you can't find the right one, living alone might not be a bad idea."

Qiu Jiang thought it made sense. He touched his forehead which didn't hurt at all and nodded in agreement.

Ji Mingcheng showed a hint of happiness on his face, "Not bad, not bad, the boy is teachable."

Being praised.

Even though she was praised many times, Qiu Jiang was still the girl who had no resistance to praise, and her eyes immediately curved in laughter.

A ray of sunlight slipped into the room from outside, passing greedily over her face. Bathed in the light, her whole body was glowing.

Ji Mingcheng's Adam's apple rolled, and his eyes were fixed on her. After a long while, he realized that he had been distracted. He quickly looked away, touched the back of his head awkwardly, and changed the subject a little stiffly, asking, "Where's my meal?"

Qiu Jiang turned around and ran to her desk to get it for him. Her goose yellow skirt danced in front of him, making him uncontrollably focus his eyes on her and unable to look away.

"Captain Ji..." Qiu Jiang's white and tender hand passed before his eyes.

He finally came to his senses and apologized subconsciously, "Sorry."

"ah?"

Before she understood why he was apologizing, she saw him take the lunch box from her and hurried to his office.

The figure looked vigorous and walked very fast.

She was as cool and confident as ever, but for some reason she felt that their team seemed to be running away.

Weird.

Qiu Jiang didn't understand what was going on. Just as she was about to go back to her seat, she looked up and saw an unexpected person. She immediately smiled and politely called out, "Forensic Doctor Lu, why are you here?"

Lu Jianian's gaze was still on the direction Ji Mingcheng had left. After hearing her voice, he gave her a meaningful look before pushing his glasses and saying, "I'm here to find Ah Cheng."

She subconsciously glanced at his hands and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that they were empty.

"Do you want me to call Captain Ji out or do you want to go in and find him?"

He pulled a cell phone out of his white coat and gestured to her.

Qiu Jiang made an "OK" gesture to him and then went back to her seat.

It was at this time that Deng Xingwang and Tong Bei arrived late and almost bumped into Lu Jianian when they reached the door.

The two of them quickly greeted him and were in the mood to chat.

"Medicine Lu, why are you here?"

As soon as Deng Xingwang said this, they saw their team leader Ji coming out of the office. When they saw him, they leaned sideways and squeezed into the house like mice seeing a cat.

It would be a pity if Ji Mingcheng couldn't see them.

"You two stay to clean up at noon."

Their shoulders slumped, and as if all the strength had been drained from them, they whispered, "Yes."

"What? Didn't you eat enough?"

As soon as he said this, the two men immediately became alert, their skin tensed up, and they shouted, "Yes——"

Ji Mingcheng then let them go and said graciously, "Go."

They didn't dare to appear in front of him and ran back to their seats.

After seeing Ji Mingcheng and Lu Jianian walk away, Qiu Jiang whispered to him, "It's been more than half a month, and you haven't gotten tired of playing yet?"

"How could we possibly get bored? We're both having a blast playing it right now." Deng Xingwang was so excited when he mentioned his favorite game. He was so excited that even the thought of seeing how stunningly she dressed today was pushed out of his mind by the game.

"It's so much fun! You have no idea how great it feels to create a brilliant civilization."

As soon as he mentioned this, he talked endlessly, and Qiu Jiang was forced to listen for a long time to his story about how he collected resources in the game to produce new units, buildings and higher technology.

Qiu Jiang felt dizzy after listening to this, and in the end she still didn't understand why they liked playing games so much.

But everyone has different hobbies. For example, she also likes to practice Gu, so she has nothing to say about him playing games.

Besides, they only play after get off work, so it doesn't affect their normal work. The only thing is that they come to work later and later. Today they are almost fifteen minutes late. No wonder Captain Ji punished them.

"I was wrong, I will change." He immediately raised his hand to promise, and whispered to her, "We were indeed unable to get up a few days ago because we played games too late, but yesterday we were brave enough to do something righteous."

Qiu Jiang became interested. "How do you say that?"

Deng Xingwang was eager to speak out about this matter. "Last night, Abei and I were having a great time playing games in the internet cafe. We were a little hungry, so we went to the front desk to buy a bucket of instant noodles. As I was pouring water, two men in their thirties suddenly put the keys to a Mercedes-Benz on the front desk and asked them to open a private room for them."

"What's wrong?"

She knew that the Mercedes-Benz was a luxury car that most people couldn't afford, but not everyone couldn't afford it. Moreover, the two of them wanted to rent a room, so they must be rich.

Just when she was confused, Deng Xingwang explained, "The most important thing isn't that they drove a Mercedes-Benz, but that they couldn't even afford the money for the private room. When the man went to pay, he simply snatched the wallet of the woman who was hugged by the man behind him."

"Think about it. In the dead of night, two men and a woman went to an Internet cafe together. The woman looked reluctant, with red eyes, as if she had been crying. Do you think she was willing?"

Qiu Jiang frowned instantly, "Do you suspect those two people forced her?"

"That's right." Deng Xingwang snapped his fingers.

He continued excitedly, "So I observed carefully, and I found that the woman noticed me looking at her and looked at me for help. I was only 30% suspicious at first, but now it has risen to 100%. There is definitely something wrong with them."

"Then I found Tong Bei. We both agreed that we couldn't tolerate the criminal being so arrogant right under our noses. So we waited for our chance and waited until midnight when everyone was too sleepy to take action. Then we teamed up with the guy from the internet cafe to rescue the girl."

"Then what?" Qiu Jiang asked anxiously.

"Then, as soon as we rushed in and identified ourselves, the two men were so scared they ran away. They tied the woman to a chair and taped her mouth shut. We asked the guy at the internet cafe to help rescue her, and we chased after them. But it was dark, and those two bastards just ran into dark corners. We chased them for a long distance but couldn't catch up, so we had to go back disappointed."

Qiu Jiang breathed a sigh of relief, "At least the person was rescued."

"Then do you know what's going on?"

Deng Xingwang shook his head. "She was terrified. She was stunned and shaking all over. We took her to the hospital. She stayed there for the night and only came back after her condition stabilized."

"Then why didn't you tell Captain Ji?"

He scratched his head and said, "I forgot."

She gently held her forehead, feeling helpless towards him.

"Then it seems you can only sweep the floor."

Deng Xingwang immediately became depressed and began to regret his decision.

I should have said it at that time. Now I'm being punished for no reason.

But it seems that Captain Ji did not make a mistake. He was indeed late for many days in the past half month.

Thinking about it this way, it doesn't seem so aggrieved.

But I guess I can only ask that woman to find out the situation, and it would be best if she could find the two people who escaped last night.

"Don't worry, I'll be there soon."

"Hey, good partner."

Qiu Jiang smiled, but did not leave immediately. Instead, she waited for about half an hour until Jia Wang came back.

"Let's go, Jiang Jiang."

"OK."

She hurried after him, and the two of them went downstairs and got into the car together.

Jia Wang was a very steady driver, and he didn't drive fast along the way, but his expression twisted from time to time, which looked a bit strange.

Catching a glimpse of her curious gaze from the corner of his eye, Jia Wang was eager to confide in her. "These past three days have been a real struggle for me and Brother Chen."

His voice was full of resentment when he spoke, which aroused Qiu Jiang's curiosity.

"Aren't you two going to bring back the criminals captured in Huaian City? Why are you so tired? Is it too far? Or did something happen?"

"The distance is indeed long, and the train ride is exhausting. But the most exhausting thing isn't the train at all, it's the person we're trying to bring back. He's a real tough guy. He's been running away a thousand times, and his tricks are endless. He's used all kinds of tricks that we couldn't even imagine."

"I think I've seen a lot of things, not to mention Brother Chen, the veteran detective. He actually got me into a state of panic. I don't know how many times I fell just chasing him along the way."

His face was filled with grief and indignation. If he hadn't considered that she was a girl, he would have been so angry that he would have cursed her.

"Then why not cuff him?"

"Cuffs?——"

The mention of Jia Wang made him even angrier. "We two probably didn't try, but this bastard actually knew how to pick a lock. The handcuffs couldn't even restrain him. He even laughed at us for being careless and not being vigilant at all. He's not cut out to be a police officer. He made us both so angry that we almost had high blood pressure. Of course, I was just saying it casually, just because I was pissed off, but Brother Chen's high blood pressure really did act up. He was disoriented on the way here, and when he got to our place, he couldn't hold on any longer and went straight to the hospital."

It's really infuriating.

Qiu Jiang couldn't help but feel a little sympathy for them.

"So how is Brother Chen now?"

"I just called Brother Chen after sending that guy to the detention center. He said he's fine now and asked me to pick him up. So, I'm taking you along too."

"But what are you going to the hospital for?"

She briefly explained the situation, and upon hearing there was a case, Jia Wang simply said, "Then I'll stay with you. By the way, let Brother Chen check it out again. Don't rush back to the team and end up not getting proper treatment."

"That's great, thank you, Brother Jia."

Qiu Jiang spoke softly, and no matter how angry she was, it would disappear when she saw such a beautiful little girl speaking in a soft voice. In the second half of the journey, they finally started talking and laughing in the car.

When they arrived at the hospital, Chen Da didn't even bother to check it out after hearing about this. "I'll go with you."

"Oh, my brother Chen, do you not trust me or Jiang Jiang? Just go and see the doctor honestly."

Chen Da refused to admit his age or feel sick, and loudly retorted, "I was just angry. It's nothing at all. Don't make a fuss."

Unexpectedly, Qiu Jiang was also trying to stop him, but she had a legitimate reason. "Brother Chen, she just had a shock, and it wouldn't be good for her recovery if too many of us were here. After all, she and I are both girls. How about I go over first and have Brother Jia accompany you to check her out. If the girl is calm and needs your help, I'll call you later."

"this……"

Chen Da was a little hesitant.

Qiu Jiang noticed that his attitude was a little loose, so she continued to persuade him, "You are my old leader. How can I bear to let you feel unwell and accompany me? I feel really bad."

She looked sad at the right moment, her long eyelashes trembled, and tears welled up in her eyes. She looked like she was about to cry, which was heartbreaking.

Chen Da was not a hard-hearted person, not to mention that she was the child he raised, so she was almost his own child. Now she was still worried about him, and even a heart of iron could not bear it. Besides, his heart was not made of iron. He immediately had no choice but to promise repeatedly, "Chengcheng, your brother Chen will listen to you this time, but you must call me if you need anything."

Qiu Jiang smiled and said, "That's for sure."

Chen Da also laughed out loud twice, and was not as resolute as Jia Wang had been when he had just tried to persuade him. He turned around and went to get the check-up.

Jia Wang was stunned and clasped his hands together to show his admiration before leaving.

Qiu Jiang smiled back and waved goodbye to him before heading to the inpatient department. She pressed the elevator button for the 12th floor according to the address Deng Xingwang left.

The road to the inpatient department was very strange. Fortunately, she had a good sense of direction and quickly found the right direction. She counted the house numbers and finally stopped at Ward 1207.

She knocked on the door and walked in. "Excuse me, Ms. Lu Yuexin...Captain Ji? Forensic Doctor Lu?"

When the two sides met, they both looked surprised. They didn't expect to see each other here.

Finally, Ji Mingcheng came back to his senses first, "Why are you here?"

Qiu Jiang quickly explained it again.

Hearing this, Lu Jianian said to Ji Mingcheng, "Ah Cheng, remember to thank them for me when you get back."

Ji Mingcheng snorted, "Just a verbal thank you, your thank you is too insincere."

Lu Jianian paused and said politely, "Then please come and have dinner with us later."

"That's more like it."

As soon as Ji Mingcheng said this, a pleasant chuckle came from the hospital bed.

Qiu Jiang couldn't help but look over.

Lying on the hospital bed was a beautiful older sister with very pale lips. Even though her face was full of fatigue, it did not detract from her elegant and gentle temperament.

And this person actually looks a bit like Forensic Doctor Lu.

Then I thought that both of them had the surname Lu.

She couldn't help but have some guesses.

Lu Yuexin also noticed her gaze and nodded slightly at her, her voice soft and gentle, "Thank you so much to your two colleagues."

"This is what we should do. Miss Lu, are you... okay?"

She remembered Xingwang saying she fainted from fright at the time.

Lu Yuexin clenched her hands tightly, obviously not yet fully recovered. She took several deep breaths, and Lu Jianian quickly put the oxygen mask on her.

She took several deep breaths of oxygen, and her chest stopped heaving as violently as before.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Qiu Jiang felt guilty and quickly apologized to her.

"It's none of your business. She has asthma and this was a bit of a shock to her." Ji Mingcheng patted her shoulder and comforted her.

Qiu Jiang finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The three of them were waiting for her to calm down completely, which took a while. After more than ten minutes, she finally collapsed on the bed with no strength left. Her face turned even paler, and she explained in a hoarse voice, "I'm sorry, I scared you. It was my problem just now, not yours."

"It's okay, but do you need to call a doctor?"

Her complexion didn't look very good, and Qiu Jiang was still a little worried.

Lu Yuexin shook her head. "It's an old problem. Even if the doctor comes, it's useless. It's better not to call them and let me be quiet for a while."

She sounded very tired when she spoke, and Qiu Jiang didn't ask too much about what happened last night. After a while, she followed Ji Mingcheng and the others out.

After coming out, Lu Jianian became talkative, which was unusual for him.

"She's my cousin. She just came from Hong Kong. I haven't been able to contact her since yesterday. I went to Beijing to look for her but couldn't find her. I got a call from her just after I got back... This time, I'm really grateful to Xingwang and the others. Otherwise, I really don't know what to do."

It was the first time that Qiu Jiang saw him express his emotions so openly. It was not difficult to guess that the relationship between the two siblings must be very good.

But what is going on?

She is now full of questions and is waiting for someone to answer them for her.
