Chapter 85 Chapter 85 Going to work, could it be that Team Ji is...

Although he had been busy all day last night, Qiu Jiang still got up full of energy. Seeing his elder brother busy in the kitchen, Qiu Jiang stole two freshly heated spicy vermicelli buns from the side and waved to him.

"Brother, I'm going to work."

Qiu Hengan turned around and called out to her, "Why are you so anxious? Don't you want to eat?"

"I've already eaten, and I have something important to do today."

She unlocked the bike skillfully and got on it, and in one push she rode a meter away. She was so eager to get to work.

Shi Yuexiu also lifted the door curtain and came out, saying to him, "You woke up without an alarm today, looking so energetic. I wonder what good news is going on."

Qiu Hengan finally felt relieved. "It's good news."

This way they don't have to worry about whether something happened to her.

The two of them worked together to heat up breakfast for the children. After the two children finished eating, Shi Yuexiu sent them to school, while Qiu Hengan pushed the wheelchair and hurried to the store.

Now that the business in the store is booming, he naturally doesn't want to take a break. He just hopes to make more money so that he can buy a bigger house for his family and they don't have to squeeze in this inconvenient village in the city anymore.

On the other side, Qiu Jiang was wearing the hat Ji Mingcheng gave her, and a pair of plush gloves that reached the neck. Her little face was frozen white, and she looked like a delicate fairy no matter how you looked at her.

On the first day of work in the new year, you can still see such a beautiful girl. Some people don’t feel the hardship of going back to work anymore after seeing her, and they lean their heads over to take a closer look at her.

"Which department is this girl from? Why haven't I seen her before?"

"From the Criminal Police Team, pretty, right?"

"Huh? I'm pretty familiar with all four criminal police teams, so why haven't I seen her before?"

"I can tell you're out of touch with the latest news. It seems you haven't paid any attention to the personnel changes in our police department during your months away."

The man scratched his head, but still wanted to know what was going on. "Tell me, what's going on? When did Team Five appear?"

That's something to talk about.

They were honking their cars when they saw a man in a white sweatshirt get out of a car that they couldn't afford.

With broad shoulders and narrow back, and the way he moves like a meteor, one would almost wonder if a celebrity had come to their bureau to do business.

However, many people stopped and called out to him when they saw him. Although they were a bit far away and couldn't hear clearly, they could still feel that this person should be a leader of their police station.

But...who?

So young, yet dressed so fashionably.

The key is that he is too handsome.

As he approached, those who had never seen him before couldn't help but take a few more glances at him. Even those who had known him for more than two months couldn't help but sigh in their hearts that the captain of the Criminal Police Team 5 was so handsome.

More importantly, it’s super awesome.

It's only been a short time since he came here, but he has already solved so many cases in one fell swoop, and even surpassed others. He was praised crazily by the directors at the year-end meeting, and he must have received a lot of bonuses.

It's really enviable.

Of course, the most enviable thing is the appearance of their fifth team. Not only do the players look energetic, but the young man who was wrongly accused last time and others are also good-looking, especially their fashionable and handsome captain, and the beautiful girl who just passed by. Just looking at their stunning beauties, I can eat two more bowls of rice.

Moreover, having such colleagues/leaders to work and travel with will give you enough motivation and you will never feel tired when carrying out the tasks.

"Good morning."

As Qiu Jiang arrived at the office, she smiled broadly. It was sweet, very stomach-warming, and could also arouse the energy for the first day of work at the beginning of the new year.

Everyone greeted her.

There weren't many people coming at this time, but people kept coming in. Qiu Jiang's seat was right in front of the door, so it was easy to spot who was coming in. So she stared at the door with her big watery eyes, as if she was waiting for someone.

Not to mention, as soon as I entered the evil office, I saw the beautiful girl from their team looking at me, and my heart started beating faster.

Unfortunately, the other person was obviously not waiting for him, so when he saw them, he just smiled and continued to stare at the door.

Are you waiting for the season team?

Several people who saw Ji Mingcheng chatting with their leader downstairs couldn't help but make such a guess.

As soon as Ji Mingcheng stepped into the door, he met her expectant eyes. He thought she was waiting for him and felt that she was not too heartless.

Although he didn't call me for two or three days after he left... I asked Sasha, but at least I remembered to look for him on my first day at work.

Thinking of this, he walked in with a smile on his lips.

However, before he reached her, he saw her suddenly stand up and keep walking towards him.

Ji Mingcheng's heart was out of control for a second, and he just opened his mouth, "You..."

As soon as the word came out of his mouth, he saw her walk past him and head straight for the door. Then he heard her soft voice greeting and chatting with people.

"Happy New Year."

"Happy New Year to you too."

Um?

He turned his head and saw that she stopped in front of Guo Kai with a friendly and expectant attitude.

He turned around, folded his arms and looked at them both.

As a result, Qiu Jiang felt that it was not appropriate to talk about private matters at the door, so she went out with him and whispered to each other at the railing at the corner.

Before she could say a word, Guo Kai took out a card-like object from his pocket and handed it to her, and said a few other words to her. Even though they were far apart, he could still see her expression of surprise, as if she was about to jump up.

Deng Xingwang came upstairs with a bun in his mouth and saw them whispering. He went over and asked, "What are you two talking about?"

Qiu Jiang was in a good mood, but she didn't tell him what the matter was, which made Deng Xingwang very curious. When he saw that she couldn't ask the answer, he looked at Guo Kai.

Uh... well, he is actually a little afraid of Captain Guo, oh no, now he should be called Brother Guo, Guo Kai.

Obviously, the two of them had rarely met before, but he was scared when he saw him. Maybe it was because Guo Kai was too serious and seemed like he could scold him at any minute.

Rather than asking him, he might as well die of curiosity.

Qiu Jiang walked into the office with the card in her hand, looking extremely happy. Then, like a busy little top, she watered the flowers and hummed softly.

It sounds nice to hum, but it makes people feel a little uncomfortable.

It was then that Qiu Jiang seemed to notice him. After a moment's thought, she asked, "Captain Ji, did you have something to say to me?"

She was so anxious to ask Guo Kai about the hospital that she subconsciously ignored the call from their team.

It would be bad if I missed any work.

She put down the spray bottle and walked to stand beside him. After finding her small notebook and pen on the table, she looked up at him and was about to take notes, but he just said "It's okay" and left.

Qiu Jiang blinked, confused.

Fortunately, she didn't miss any work, so she felt relieved and continued her hard-working work as a little bee, spraying rain and dew on some wilted plants in the house.

It's so busy and lively.

Fortunately, nothing happened on the first day. We spent a very quiet and peaceful morning. At noon, several of us went to the cafeteria to eat together.

Of course, no one called Ji Mingcheng. After all, everyone knew that Team Ji seldom ate in the cafeteria. The few times he ate there were when he and Forensic Doctor Lu had finished their meals outside or had bought something and happened to pass by and were stopped by their superiors.

But to be honest, the atmosphere was indeed more lively without the leaders eating together, because the city was holding a meeting today and several senior leaders were not in the bureau. There were only some junior leaders in the cafeteria, who were not much lower in rank than them, so the cafeteria was particularly lively today.

The only downside is that there were too many people and it was hard to find a place to sit down.

"Jiang Jiang, this way."

Qiu Jiang looked in the direction of the voice and saw Deng Xingwang, with a grain of rice still on the corner of his mouth, patting the empty seat next to him.

Her eyes lit up and she walked towards him with a clear purpose.

After sitting down, everyone was very active in eating and chatting, and there was no such thing as not talking while eating or sleeping.

At this time, Deng Xingwang was discussing the follow-up developments of the accidental murder case at the beach that day.

She was also involved in this case and was very concerned about it, so she listened to him carefully.

"You don't know how powerful that suspect's parents are. They're world-class at throwing tantrums. I wonder if they're treating our police station like a theater."

"What did they do?" Qiu Jiang asked.

"What else can they do? They brought a bunch of people to the police station to cause trouble, saying we arrested the wrong person and that her son is usually very well-behaved and obedient and is innocent. You know, the deceased's body is still here. I don't know how they have the nerve to say such things."

The others also frowned when they heard this, "So you're just going to let them do whatever they want?"

"How is that possible?" Deng Xingwang became excited when he heard this.

"Didn't I just say the deceased's body is still here? He died this morning, and they didn't get here until noon. But there are still doubts about this case, and we also received a report from the Development Zone that someone had broken into the cruise ship's security perimeter, so Captain Ji and I went to the Development Zone. Naturally, our bureau can't return the body to the elderly couple."

"They kept waiting, but when we didn't come back, they rushed to the development zone to look for us. They didn't know we had already returned by then, so they went and found nothing. They heard the elderly couple was in tears, so they rushed to the police station. Their relatives and neighbors were worried something might have happened to them, so they followed them. They just happened to run into the people brought by the suspect's parents."

"Originally, everyone was from the same village, so they asked each other why they were here. As they asked, they figured out what happened. The people brought by the deceased's parents were furious and beat up the suspect's parents. Those who were brought in by the suspect's parents to cheer them on were also dumbfounded. They never expected someone to actually be killed, let alone that the person killed was someone they knew. So they all turned against them and ignored them..."

Deng Xingwang's mouth was dry as he spoke. He took a sip of his soup and continued, "In the end, the two people who originally wanted to cause trouble became the ones we had to rescue. If we hadn't arrived in time, they would have been beaten to death long ago."

Deng Xingwang was very depressed when talking about this. "We came back late from the development zone that day, so I stayed at my uncle's house. Because of this incident, I was asked to work the shift, and I had to work the next day. It was so miserable."

Even though several days have passed, Deng Xingwang still feels resentful when he thinks about this.

"Are the deceased's parents okay?" Qiu Jiang was more concerned about this.

Deng Xingwang sighed, "I cried so hard I almost fainted. Luckily, I have my two nephews to help me. They said I'll have them by my side in the future. Even if I'm sad now, I should be able to get by in the future."

Of course, the premise is that the nephew of the two old men is reliable.

He didn't say this out loud because the topic was heavy enough and made him feel depressed.

He quickly took a few bites of food to fill his stomach.

Qiu Jiang also ate slowly. Although the food tasted okay, she couldn't eat much now.

After lunch, she lay down on the table in the office to rest for a while. Nothing happened after work in the afternoon. When she was bored, Deng Xingwang took the initiative to ask her if she wanted to practice shooting.

"I haven't touched a gun for a long time, my hands are a little itchy."

These words made her hands itch, and she stood up decisively and said, "Let's go."

The two of them disappeared in a short while, and the people who lost before the New Year were confused when they saw how competitive they were. They started practicing hard on the first day of work and felt conflicted.

And Ji Mingcheng is definitely a devil. He pointed this out directly, making them feel extremely embarrassed.

It wasn't too late to be embarrassed, and she even dropped a bomb on them, "I've already handed over the names of those who failed the shooting competition to the practice room. If the hours are not enough every day, you can set aside time at the end of the month to make up for it. I don't mind you taking up your weekend time."

Captain Ji was actually going to fight them for real. They were shocked and cried out.

"ah?--"

He glanced at them coldly, and they groaned bitterly, completely withering. They immediately stood up and shouted happily, "Team Ji, we're going now."

Their pain obviously became a source of joy for other people in the office, and they all covered their mouths and laughed.

As for laughing openly, he didn't dare. After all, being noticed by the leader at this time was not a good thing.

Everyone knew how to keep a low profile. They all sat quietly in their seats, looking worried and busy.

How busy is a matter of opinion.

Ji Mingcheng just glanced at them lightly and then looked away. Just as he was about to walk towards his office, he caught a glimpse of an unexpected person out of the corner of his eye.

"What's up?"

Lu Jianian nodded, "Are you free now?"

Just as he was about to leave, he saw the exquisite bag in his hand. His unusually beautiful almond-shaped eyes immediately narrowed, revealing a dangerous light, and he said coldly, "I'm busy."

After saying that, he went back to his office without looking back, as if he refused to communicate.

Lu Jianian had a headache, but who had asked his mother to come and see him and bring him a "surprise"? Did he really need her to deliver something when she was only staying here for two days?

I still have no choice but to take on this job which is easy to get me scolded.

The result... was obviously a rejection.

But……

He stroked his forehead and after much hesitation, he decided to throw this hot potato to Ji Mingcheng.

So he walked into the big office, and under the strange gazes of others, he also entered the small office in the corner that belonged to their quarterback team.

Because the distance was not far, if you spoke quietly you naturally wouldn't be able to hear what was said inside, but the voices of Team Ji were very loud, so they could easily hear them.

"Take it. If you put it here, don't blame me for being rude."

"Don't worry, I heard this time is different from the previous ones, so you should at least accept it."

"Again, I won't take it."

Ji Mingcheng spoke in a firm tone, his voice full of impatience. It was the first time they heard Captain Ji's voice so angry, and they didn't know what they were talking about.

The key point is that it would be fine if I didn’t know this, but how could I hear the rustling sound made by the tables and chairs being moved inside?

"Is there going to be a fight?"

Everyone was terrified, but Brother Guo, who had a lot of seniority in the team, asked for leave in the afternoon, Brother Chen and Wang Li simply didn't come today, and Deng Xingwang and Qiu Jiang, who had the best relationship with Captain Ji, went to practice shooting again. It was really frustrating to find someone to take the lead and see what was going on, but there was no one there.

I don’t know if their chanting worked, but as soon as they finished, they saw Qiu Jiang and the other person walk in.

Both of them looked tired.

They finally managed to get a gun, but who knew that it was snatched away by someone else just after they fired a shot, and they were squeezed out. The reason was that they were good enough, so the training position should be given to these little shrimps who were scolded by the season team.

Qiu Jiang was not stupid, so she naturally understood what they meant. She knew that they had been scolded and coaxed here. She did not want to argue with them at this time when they were full of resentment, so she immediately dragged Deng Xingwang, who looked puzzled, out.

After coming out, she explained everything to him.

Deng Xingwang was just slow to react, but he was not ignorant of the ways of the world. He knew that training with others in there at this time would attract attention, so coming out was indeed the best option.

The extra free time I finally had today was wasted.

The two of them felt a little depressed, but it was not that they had nothing else to do. Drinking tea was a rare enjoyment.

"Jiang Jiang, the white tea on the tea table is delicious. Would you like some?" Deng Xingwang asked.

Qiu Jiang shook her head and said, "I want to drink something sweet."

"That one is sweet, you will know if you try it." Deng Xingwang strongly recommended it.

She blinked. "Sweet tea?"

"Yeah, and if you want something sweet, that coffee is also good. It tastes great too."

Qiu Jiang looked at him expressionlessly, "Xingwang, don't think I'm stupid. Coffee is obviously bitter."

Deng Xingwang was stunned. "Who said that? Coffee beans are bitter, but instant coffee is sweet. It tastes mellow and sweet. I also like instant coffee."

"Hmm?" Qiu Jiang was skeptical. "Really?"

"Well, why would I lie to you? You'll know once you try it."

She was really interested. After the two of them finished talking, she went to get a cup to drink sweet water. However, the piercing gaze and the creaking sound of desks and chairs in Team Ji's office made her a little suspicious, and she immediately looked up.

Wang Meilin ran over in high heels and whispered a few words in her ear.

"Forensic Doctor Lu? They were fighting?" Qiu Jiang was stunned.

It’s actually hard to believe that those two could fight. Besides, aren’t they good friends?

But Ji Mingcheng's voice came out from inside again, "Lu Xiaonian, don't force me to beat you."

Qiu Jiang: "..."

She didn't know what expression to make.

"Think of a solution, please. Don't fight here." Wang Meilin patted her shoulder, showing her great trust in her, and then quietly went back, leaving Qiu Jiang at a loss.

This is a bit too trusting. If they fight, what can she do?

Break up the fight?

With his small body, he is not even strong enough to punch these two big men. It is obvious that Xingwang has more potential to break up the fight.

So, adhering to the good moral character of sharing happiness and hardships, Qiu Jiang dragged Deng Xingwang to seek death together.

Deng Xingwang was completely hopeless. He whispered, "Shouldn't we go find the captains of the other teams now? If two of us go in there, wouldn't we be courting death?"

"Bang—"

At the end he said that he was startled by the sound of the door suddenly breaking open, but he was even more frightened after seeing the situation inside. It took him a long time to find his voice.

"Captain Ji, what are you doing..."

At the door, their team leader Ji used his left hand to bend Forensic Doctor Lu, who was trying to leave, and handcuffed his hands behind his back, and then used his right hand to strangle him.

Both of them had pleasing faces, and they were in such an ambiguous posture at this time, which made the two inexperienced little fools drop their jaws in shock.

Are the two of them...

Ji Mingcheng and Lu Jianian both had dark faces.

The usually gentle Forensic Doctor Lu immediately broke away Ji Mingcheng's restraint, coughed, and said, "I've delivered the things my aunt asked me to deliver. I'll be leaving first."

After saying that, he nodded slightly to Qiu Jiang and the other person, then quickly walked past them and left.

Qiu Jiang and Deng Xingwang were stunned, watching Lu Jianian leave in a hurry, and they didn't know why Forensic Doctor Lu was so anxious.

Could it be...

They didn't dare to guess.

How could Ji Mingcheng not know what they were thinking when he saw their wandering eyes?

I was angry at myself for letting them guess that possibility. The more I thought about it, the angrier I got. I was so angry that I even laughed.

Deng Xingwang trembled with fear.

Qiu Jiang managed to maintain her composure, blinking her innocent eyes at him and asking, "Captain Ji, we wanted to ask if you were thirsty? Would you like us to grind some coffee for you?"

Ji Mingcheng gritted his teeth and squeezed out a word.

"want."

Qiu Jiang pretended not to hear him and asked him with a smile, "How much should I put in? Stronger or weaker?"

"Lethal dose, concentrated death."

Ji Mingcheng said expressionlessly, "Go ahead."

Qiu Jiang didn't dare to stay here any longer and turned around and left in a hurry.

Deng Xingwang looked back and forth at them, feeling somewhat at a loss. His strong intuition told him that it would be better for him to follow his partner at this time.

"Captain Ji, I'm going to make some tea."

After saying that, he chased after Qiu Jiang as if he was escaping.

He finally breathed a sigh of relief when he reached the tea table.

"I was scared to death."

Qiu Jiang is the same.

So the aunt that Forensic Doctor Lu mentioned couldn’t be Captain Ji’s mother, right?

She thought to herself and sighed.

If that's the case, I guess Team Ji won't be in a good mood today, just like the previous times. I hope we can get through today safely before get off work ends and nothing will happen.

However, sometimes the more you look forward to something, the more it will come. When she was grinding coffee beans, she saw Director Chang, who had gone to the city for a meeting in the morning, hurriedly walking in from outside and went straight to their team member Ji's office.

Look at his expression just now...

Qiu Jiang secretly said "Oh no!"

As expected.

In less than ten minutes, Captain Ji and Director Chang came out of the room together. He looked solemn and after a quick glance around, he directly called out the names of his troops and generals.

"Qiu Jiang, Deng Xingwang, Jia Wang, Chang Xuemin... follow me."

There were seven people he called, and no one dared to pause for even a second before they immediately stood up and answered.

"yes--"

She didn't even bother to take care of the coffee machine. She asked a colleague to help her and ran out. She was more desperate than any man.

The colleagues in the room who did not have to go out on field work expressed sympathy.
