Chapter 33 Handing In 1 Okay, I'll hand myself in! Let's go then…

Old Wei is a man who holds grudges a little bit.

He was already resentful about Wu Shirong's affair, and now that he wasn't entirely confident he could poach Qiu Xiaoman, he was even more furious.

Especially after seeing Qiu Xiaoman's performance tonight, he was filled with regret, lamenting that he wasn't as lucky as Lao Wen!

But what could he do? He could only provoke Old Wen!

He picked up the phone, heard that familiar voice, and said bluntly, "I can get Xiao Qiu a settlement allowance of 300,000 yuan! Household registration, job security, car, house! The whole package! What can you get for Xiao Qiu? Tell me! If your offer isn't good enough, don't blame me for mobilizing her own mother, grandparents, and even her uncles and aunts. I refuse to believe I can't outcompete you!"

Old Wen was furious and cursed, "You shameless bastard, you're trying to steal my girl again! You think you're so great just because you're rich in Shanghai!"

"That's incredible! If you're so capable, show me 400,000 or 500,000! I'll be completely convinced!" Old Wei snorted and slammed down the phone.

This really worried Lao Wen, so he called again, looking for Jiang Mingyuan.

As soon as Lao Wei heard his voice, he hung up. He was in a hurry; that way, he could at least secure better treatment for Xiao Qiu and prevent the boy from suffering.

I can't bear it!

Old Wen made more than a dozen persistent calls, but in the end, he had no choice but to try another approach.

He called a friend of a friend, and after several twists and turns, finally got in touch with a local criminal police officer in Mengyin, and found out what Lao Wei had done when he arrived.

After hanging up, he had to call Secretary Li again: "Secretary Li, Lao Wei has already flown over to personally verify Comrade Qiu Xiaoman's abilities, and now he's offering extremely tempting conditions to poach him from us! Please be sure to tell the leader! I'm very anxious!"

Secretary Li was a little surprised that even Lao Wei had been alerted! It seems that this Xiao Qiu really has some skills.

He politely agreed, and when his boss finally finished his work and was about to leave, he quickly followed him.

Half an hour later, Lao Wen finally received a reply. Secretary Li smiled and comforted him, "Director Wen, the leader said that as long as the situation is true, you can ask for the salary yourself, and he will try his best to meet your needs."

Really? That's wonderful!

Director Wen finally breathed a sigh of relief. After hanging up the phone, he called Shen Qinghuai and asked if he knew Qiu Xiaoman's room number.

Shen Qinghuai's business is quite large, and he occasionally interacts with some leaders. However, this is the first time he has had the opportunity to speak with Director Wen because of his daughter. He felt lightheaded, as if he were dreaming.

He quickly gave the phone number to Director Wen.

He thought Director Wen would be satisfied with his cooperation, but instead, Director Wen gave him a severe scolding.

Having been a boss for many years, none of his subordinates dared to criticize him. Today was quite an unprecedented experience!

What surprised him even more was that even Old Wei from Shanghai was vying with Director Wen for her. His daughter was truly remarkable!

He quickly admitted his mistake and assured Director Wen that he would take remedial measures. After hanging up the phone, he stubbed out his cigarette, clasped his hands together, rested his chin on his hand, and fell into deep thought.

Earlier that afternoon, he was still annoyed by Qiu Xiaoman's return of the car, but now, he really wanted to slap himself twice!

Fine, let her return it! She said the 900,000 yuan car was probably just to annoy him, but he should be more considerate and buy her a better car and a house instead.

She's become Director Wen's favorite; it's uncertain who will protect whom in the future, him or his daughter.

However, this matter needs to be done discreetly, and Liang Yuting must not find out, otherwise there will be a lot of trouble!

Qiu Xiaoman had just returned to her residence and fallen asleep when the phone rang. She was quite surprised to hear Director Wen's voice on the other end and quickly asked, "Director Wen, is there a case that needs my help with? I've already asked Jiang Mingyuan, and we can go back tomorrow."

"No, no, no, I want to talk to you." Old Wen values ​​efficiency most when it comes to getting things done, so he went straight to the point. "Xiao Qiu, what do you want to do or want? Can you tell me?"

Qiu Xiaoman roughly guessed that Director Wen probably wanted her to stay in Beidu, so she got straight to the point and poured out all her thoughts.

Finally, she added that she had told Director Wen about the system.

She briefly explained the system's functions and asked, "Do I need to pay taxes on this money? Does it count as income from unknown sources?"

"Xiao Qiu, this is really beyond my comprehension. Could you come back and demonstrate it to me in person?" Director Wen wondered if he was getting senile, since he couldn't understand what Xiao Qiu was saying.

Qiu Xiaoman laughed and said, "No problem. Director Wen, please arrange for two policewomen to check my belongings. Otherwise, you might think I'm performing magic when I suddenly pull out some good stuff that the system gave me out of thin air!"

"Xiao Qiu, how many people know about this right now?" Director Wen was having some indigestion; he needed to calm down.

Qiu Xiaoman smiled and said, "It's just me and Bole."

Director Wen was taken aback for a moment, then smiled. What a talent scout!

This is settled. Xiao Qiu has made her hand clear; she won't go with Lao Wei!

He thought for a moment and replied, "Don't worry, your matter can definitely be handled as a special case! I'll go see the leader in person tomorrow. By the way, this system, is it something the leader can know about?"

"Okay, I'll hand myself over! Just keep it within a small circle, I don't want to be treated like a monster." Qiu Xiaoman had no objections; of course, the leaders had the right to know, otherwise why would they make an exception?

Director Wen was very pleased. This kid is really good; he hadn't misjudged him!

The next day, as soon as it was time for work, he went to wait outside the boss's office.

The leader didn't have much to say, just one sentence: "When she comes back, bring her to see me."

Qiu Xiaoman got up early and went to the police station again. It was too late yesterday, and she didn't have time to calm the dogs in the truck. She had to hurry up and take control of the situation, otherwise, the dogs might not have a good outcome.

Then, a bizarre scene unfolded in the courtyard of the Public Security Bureau.

Qiu Xiaoman stood in front of the pack of dogs like a king, and no matter what command he gave, these untrained dogs could respond.

She commanded, "Those who have bitten people, come over here. Those who bit bad people, stand in front. Those who bit good people and children, stand in the back. Those who have only been aggressive but not bitten, don't join in the fun."

The dogs, just like students doing morning exercises, were squatting in a row, barking at each other when they heard this.

Qiu Xiaoman snapped her fingers, and Huihui stepped forward. She reminded the dogs, "Don't lie, or Huihui will expose you."

The dogs looked at each other, then eagerly began to ask questions.

A spotted dog asked, "Is someone who steals eggs considered a bad person? He only stole six, and I bit him."

Qiu Xiaoman nodded: "Okay!"

"Great! Then I can stand in front." The spotted dog strode up as if it were receiving an award.

A black dog asked, "Is someone who has an affair with my owner considered a bad person? My owner doesn't allow me to yell at her, but she hits my owner's daughter! She's just a little baby, only a year old. I couldn't stand it, so I bit her, and that day my owner almost beat me to death!"

Qiu Xiaoman didn't understand: "Where is your master's wife? Doesn't she care about her own children?"

The black dog said helplessly, "My master's wife has been missing for over a year! My master said she ran away with someone, but her wallet and ID card are still at home. I don't know how she got away."

Oh no! There's a case! Qiu Xiaoman quickly waved, beckoning the pure black dog over.

“Old Zhang, the lady of his house has been missing for a year and a half. These are the current suspicious points…” She took the black dog aside to speak.

Old Zhang was a little incredulous: "It only barked a few times, you really believe that!"

"Fine, don't believe me then." Qiu Xiaoman looked at Old Wei, who was standing to the side with great interest, and raised an eyebrow. "Old Wei, do you believe it?"

"I believe you!" Old Wei was truly amazed. Just watching Qiu Xiaoman talk to a group of dogs was already shocking enough. Now, seeing Qiu Xiaoman's meticulous and thoughtful nature, he admired her even more.

He advised Lao Zhang, "Let Xiao Qiu ask about other details, and you can arrange for someone to go and take a look later!"

Alright. Old Zhang asked Qiu Xiaoman to find out the missing woman's name, characteristics, occupation, and other information.

Qiu Xiaoman turned around and asked the black dog, then wrote it down and handed it to Lao Zhang. Lao Zhang took the slip of paper and gave it to a young policeman to verify the woman's information.

Qiu Xiaoman returned to the pack of dogs, seemingly lost in thought.

She was extremely dissatisfied with the system and wondered to herself, "Honey, why didn't your gossip alert go off?"

"Host, it's because I didn't see the person in question!" Little Honey said, feeling very wronged!

That's right. It's likely that the system's alarm triggering rules didn't take the victim's pets into account.

She said disdainfully, "Isn't this the open-source version? You should upgrade it."

"Okay, host. Honey is searching for victim-related keywords to trigger the alarm function. Keywords have been added: pet, owned items. Would you like to add any other keywords?"

“Relatives, enemies, colleagues,” Qiu Xiaoman quickly added.

Little Honey refused: "No, the Main God Space rejects this. The reason is that these are all clues that you need to investigate and help solve the case yourself. Please don't be lazy."

"Okay," Qiu Xiaoman urged, "Then hurry up and download the expansion pack."

"The expansion pack requires the host's assistance or participation in solving five cases to install. Currently, the progress is 1/5. Please keep up the good work, host!" After saying that, Little Honey disappeared.

Qiu Xiaoman continued talking to the dogs: "Are there any other families where someone is missing?"

A small, tan-colored dog asked, "Does it count as arguing with my husband and taking the kids back to my parents' house?"

Qiu Xiaoman raised an eyebrow: "Did she come back later?"

The puppy shook its head: "No, that woman lived in the next village, and she remarried later!"

Qiu Xiaoman was both amused and exasperated: "Silly girl, this isn't called missing, this is called abandoning your master."

"Okay, fine." The clumsy little mongrel lay down on the ground, feeling wronged; it had lost its dog.

Qiu Xiaoman smiled and continued to communicate, "Very good, 70% of these dogs are on a leash and have no chance to bite people!"

The remaining 30% either bit thieves or were just baring their teeth to scare strangers; they can all be put back.

The black dog asked, "What about Grey?"

“Grey will come back to Beidu with me and see if he can become a police dog,” Qiu Xiaoman replied with a smile.

"Wow! Grey is so lucky!" The dogs instantly erupted in excitement. A police dog! What a source of pride!

They wagged their tails and barked, encouraging Grey to behave well and make their local dogs proud.

Grey stood tall and proud, looking very pleased with herself!

Qiu Xiaoman then gave the dogs five minutes of free time to say goodbye to Grey Grey.

Watching the dogs gather together, barking and howling, Old Wei couldn't help but feel a little emotional. It's amazing that someone can understand dog language; the longer you live, the more surprises you get.

Soon, the police officers drove another truck and took the dogs back.

“Feng Hao’s car is also registered under the name of a shopping mall owned by a Mr. Liang.” Jiang Mingyuan frowned as he looked at the empty truck.

In the morning, he received a call from his colleague in Beidu. The origin of the car had been traced, and it was the same as the old one.

Qiu Xiaoman looked at the car suspiciously, then suddenly asked curiously, "What's that Boss Liang's name? He's not related to Liang Yuting, is he?"

Jiang Mingyuan was unaware that his father had a good relationship with Shen Qinghuai, but he didn't speak to Liang Yuting and rarely inquired about Liang Yuting's family.

He could only shake his head: "I'll have Li Erhu check it out. He's the local police officer, so this is his area of ​​expertise."

Indeed, Qiu Xiaoman was about to leave. She turned to look at Old Wei with a smile: "Old Wei, take care! If I have the opportunity to go to Shanghai to handle a case, I will come to visit you."

"Take care!" Old Wei should be leaving soon. He asked Old Zhang to keep an eye on the matter that Black Dog reported, to see if it really involved some kind of murder case.

Old Zhang understood and promised, "Don't worry, I'll let you know as soon as I have any leads."

The next day at noon, just as Qiu Xiaoman's police car was parked in the courtyard of the Beidu Public Security Bureau, Lao Wen's phone rang.

Old Zhang exclaimed in amazement, "Director Wen, this Xiao Qiu is incredible! I saw it with my own eyes yesterday. She was chatting with a group of dogs and keenly sensed a murder case. We have news today: the woman had a proper job as a nurse at the township clinic. She didn't even submit a resignation letter; she just vanished without a trace, leaving behind a baby girl who wasn't weaned yet. The clinic has contacted her husband several times, and each time he said she ran off with someone else. We've now opened a case and are investigating!"

"Really?!" Director Wen was incredibly proud. He instructed, "Since it involves a baby, remember to arrange for a female comrade to go with you. Women are more perceptive and might make some unexpected discoveries."

Old Zhang naturally agreed, but after hanging up the phone, he still sighed with envy, thinking, "How envious I am of Old Wen! He's a professional talent scout, no exaggeration."

Upon hearing the car horn downstairs, Bo Le quickly straightened his uniform and put on his police hat.

You're finally back! Hurry up and take Xiao Qiu to meet the big boss!
