Chapter 13: Two detectives can't control two drunks?

It was a dinner for four people. Although two of them were too taciturn, the other two were very talkative and had a great time chatting. The ending was still perfect.

Qi Bai was happy, Pang Le's curiosity was satisfied, Guan Xia was a little full after eating, and although Xu Nian didn't say a word, it could be seen from his relaxed sitting posture that he was in a good mood.

After finishing the last bit of wine in the glass, Pang Le looked at his watch and said, "It's almost 11 o'clock. Let's call it a night and make an appointment next time."

It was just a polite remark, but Qi Bai naturally took the opportunity to say, "Okay, we have five days off anyway, so let's meet again someday?"

Guan Xia was about to lift her butt up, but upon hearing this, she immediately sat back down.

Pang Le wasn't surprised. After a brief thought, he said, "Then let's do it this weekend. Are you guys free? We're going camping with some friends. We'll leave on Saturday and be back on Sunday."

Guan Xia looked at Pang Le in surprise. Is this going to be a Shura game? She remembered that this game belonged to Shi Lu's team.

Qi Bai smiled even brighter. "Weekend? That should be fine. If nothing unexpected happens, we'll go back to work next Monday."

"So it's settled then?" Pang Le said, "Once the specific departure time and camping location are determined, I'll call you then."

"Okay." Qi Baizheng nodded, then asked with interest, "Do you often camp? I went camping twice with my friends when I just graduated from college, but I haven't been since. Are there any particularly good camping spots in Yongquan City?"

Speaking of this, Pang Le became interested. She is a person who cannot sit still and has many hobbies, camping is just one of them.

Seeing that the game was about to end, the two of them were chatting enthusiastically again in an instant. Guan Xia smiled helplessly, adjusted a comfortable posture, and began to look around boredly.

I'm just sitting around anyway, maybe I can find a criminal?

Although it was almost dawn, there were still many people on the street, some leaving after eating and some just sitting down. The tables near them were all full.

Guan Xia took a few glances but didn't find anything unusual. Just as she was about to look away, a middle-aged man sitting three tables away from them suddenly caught her attention.

There was another person next to the middle-aged man. It seemed that the two of them had almost finished drinking and were ready to leave. They walked out arm in arm, staggering.

The two men were about the same height, but one was very fat and the other very thin. Guan Xia saw that the thin man was being crushed so hard that he was staggering when walking.

Maybe he drank too much. The fat man took a few steps and suddenly pushed the thin man. He ran two steps to a tree on the side of the road and vomited violently.

Guan Xia immediately looked away in disgust, and then was surprised to find that Xu Nian, who was sitting opposite her, was also watching intently.

Guan Xia suddenly realized something and looked back over, then heard Qi Bai curiously ask, "What are you looking at?"

Unexpectedly yet expectedly, the system interface quickly jumped out like a zombie, and several lines of text appeared quickly.

You are questioned by the police, and you suddenly remember that at 10:27 am on April 22, you browsed several photos of wanted criminals, one of which had facial features extremely similar to the person you see now, and you decide to tell the police.

After the text ended, there was an enlarged photo of the wanted criminal that Guan Xia had seen before. The name was clearly marked under the photo: Song Changyong, male, born on June 19, 1987.

After the date of birth, there was also the registered address and ID number, but Guan Xia didn't bother to look at them carefully at this time. He quickly picked up his phone and opened the browser to search.

She was so excited for the first time since binding the system. Sure enough, this dinner was not in vain, and she had some unexpected gains.

After a few tenths of a second, the browser popped up the photo of the wanted criminal that Guan Xia had seen. She immediately reached out and put her phone to Qi Bai's face, trying her best to control her excitement and asked, "Look, is it him?"

Qi Bai subconsciously glanced at the screen, his expression changed instantly, but he regained his composure in just a second. He even nudged Xu Nian with his elbow, didn't say anything, but pushed the screen towards him.

Xu Nian took the phone and looked at it. After a few seconds, he nodded confidently, "It's him."

Qi Bai's eyes curved into crescents with laughter. Xu Nian also smiled, handed the phone back to Guan Xia, and said, "Let's go. Working overtime during our vacation is just a way to stretch our muscles."

Although the two people had discussed it, they did not stand up immediately. Instead, they waited until the middle-aged fat man finished vomiting, put his arm around the thin man's shoulder and walked forward cursing for more than ten meters, completely leaving their dining area, before standing up and slowly following him.

Pang Le had been paying attention to them since Qi Bai asked what they were looking at. Now she understood what was happening and her expression was even more excited than Guan Xia. After Qi Bai and Xu Nian stood up, she was eager to try, and Guan Xia had to use some strength to hold her down.

"Just sit still," Guan Xia whispered in Pang Le's ear, "Can two detectives really not stop two drunks?"

Although Pang Le was sitting, he kept changing his posture like a nail on the stool, and whispered, "Isn't this exciting? This is the first time I've seen such a scene in my life. It would be even more exciting if I could go up and help."

Although his words and actions showed that he wanted to rush forward, Pang Le still did not stand up. He just held Guan Xia's hand tightly and watched intently.

Although Guan Xia was talking to Pang Le, her eyes were always on them.

Qi Bai and Xu Nian followed behind at a pace slightly faster than the two drunks, until they were close enough that they could leap over and pin the man down. Xu Nian suddenly shouted, "Song Changyong?"

The middle-aged fat man was really drunk. A fugitive's first reaction when someone called his name was to turn around and yell, "Who called me?"

After confirming the identity of the middle-aged fat man, Qi Bai and Xu Nian rushed forward almost at the same time and pressed the middle-aged fat man to the ground, handcuffing him effortlessly.

After this sudden change, the thin man sobered up, but surprisingly, he did not retreat to the side in panic, but subconsciously squatted on the spot with his head in his hands.

Even Guan Xia could tell from the skilled posture that the man had probably gone in there for further training.

"This trip is really worth it," Pang Le stared at the other side with bright eyes, "Although Qi Bai's appearance is not to my liking, but if I can encounter such a scene every time I go out, I would consider it."

As the crowd of onlookers gradually drew closer, Guan Xia could no longer see Qi Bai and Xu Nian from where she sat. She simply looked away and sneered, "Be a decent person. You've put your heart and soul into every relationship before. Can you guarantee that you can do the same this time?"

This question stumped Pang Le. She frowned and thought carefully for a while, her expression changing several times before she finally sighed, "It seems that I really can't. Forget it, let's just be friends."

Speaking of this, Guan Xia suddenly remembered that she had an appointment with Qi Bai this weekend and couldn't help but say, "Oh, I forgot to ask you, isn't there a party for the Shilu Group this weekend? Why did you make an appointment with Qi Bai?"

"Give him a chance to understand me," Pang Le said with a smile, "that way I don't have to refuse him, he will know the difficulty and back off on his own."

Guan Xia understood, "Are you going to date him more often in the future?"

Pang Le nodded. "My life has been so peaceful lately that I feel like my bones are rusting. Since you won't play with me, I'll just call him over and let him experience my exciting life so he'll give it up. Isn't this killing two birds with one stone?"

Guan Xia curled her lips and felt sympathy for Qi Bai again. She hoped that after experiencing all of Pang Le's interests and hobbies, he would not suddenly develop acrophobia in his twenties like the previous one.

Guan Xia originally thought that Qi Bai and Xu Nian would take some time to come back, but unexpectedly, more than ten minutes later, they sat back opposite with happy expressions.

Pang Le was a little surprised, "Is that the end? No need to go to the police station?"

Qi Bai smiled and said, "A B escaped and a habitual thief is not enough to make our entire squadron run back to work overtime during vacation, so we directly transferred it to the local police station."

Guan Xia understood. It seemed that their criminal police squadron was handling only major cases.

"B escaped?" Pang Le hesitated and asked, "Can you tell me what crime he committed?"

Qi Bai replied, "There's no need to keep this secret. It caused serious injuries. By the way, Guan Xia, how did you figure that out?"

Guan Xia uttered a bewildered "Ah," and said, "Just use your eyes to see."

Qi Bai subconsciously glanced at Xu Nian and couldn't help laughing. "Is this the world of big bosses? If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have realized that the fat guy and the wanted criminal's photo were the same person. His fat face looked like a balloon that had been blown up. I looked carefully for a long time after I arrested him just now, but still couldn't tell."

Guan Xia complained in her heart. In fact, she didn't recognize it. She just did what the system said.

Guan Xia tried to make amends, "Maybe it's because I studied fine arts, so I'm more sensitive to faces. Plus, I'm used to looking at all kinds of photos for inspiration, so I remember it over time."

"Looking at photos of wanted criminals for inspiration?" Qi Bai had no idea what he was imagining, and his expression was a little strange.

Guan Xia quickly explained, "I've been drawing comics since my freshman year, so it's inevitable that I need a variety of materials, and looking at photos is just one of them."

"Doesn't that mean you've memorized countless wanted criminals' faces?" Qi Bai suddenly looked at Guan Xia with a burning gaze, as if he were looking at a treasure, and asked seriously, "Besides drawing comics, what other hobbies do you have? Food? Camping? Board games?"

Faced with Qi Bai's sudden enthusiasm, Guan Xia just felt a headache.

Maybe because she was too much of a homebody, she was really not good at dealing with interpersonal relationships. Fortunately, Xu Nian suddenly spoke up and helped her out in a disguised way.

Xu Nian said, "Has your memory always been so good?"

Guan Xia nodded hesitantly, "It's... okay."

"So humble," Qi Bai sighed. "Is this the world of the big guys? Pang Le is right. You and Captain Xu are really a bit like each other. He has always been very humble."

Guan Xia didn't know how to respond, so Xu Nian said, "I noticed that you searched directly for names on the search interface just now. Did you write down the names while you were looking at the photos?"

It was the system's fault again. Guan Xia didn't want to admit it, but he could only nod.

Just when Guan Xia thought Xu Nian was going to ask something else, he poked the screen a few times, then handed her the phone and asked her seriously, "Add a contact number?"
