Hu Xing was transferred away soon after. Everyone originally wanted to hold a farewell banquet for him, which was actually just going to the cafeteria to have a meal together to send him off, but in the end, they didn't have time.

Hu Xing left quickly, telling them what happened before he left the next day.

I was worried that if I arrived late, my younger sister would be scared being there alone.

After Su He learned of this, she remained silent for a moment and then understood.

I still can't help but feel sorry for Hu Xing, since once he leaves, there's almost no chance he'll ever come back. So it's true that people said he gave up his future.

But Su He knew he was doing it willingly, and that was enough, so she didn't try to stop him.

However, everyone felt uneasy after he left. Even though there was only one person missing, they all felt that the office was much quieter.

Perhaps it's because Hu Xing usually has such a strong presence.

Indeed, that was the case. Hu Xing had a sunny and cheerful personality and could talk to anyone. He and Luo Jun were the most popular people in their criminal investigation team.

He gets along well not only with his teammates but also with other police officers in the municipal bureau.

Su He, on the other hand, felt it particularly clearly.

Since joining the Criminal Investigation Brigade, she has been working with Hu Xing and has gotten used to having him by her side all the time.

Now that he's suddenly gone, Su He is still getting used to it.

Sometimes I would unconsciously call out his name.

However, when she saw that the seat next to her had been changed to Zhou Yan's, she sighed silently.

Another point is that their criminal investigation team was already busy. They finally got Zhou Yan, but then Hu Xing left, and now they are short-staffed again.

In fact, their criminal investigation team has always been short-staffed.

As mentioned before, Jiao Weimin was seconded here. He originally planned to return to his original post once they had enough people here, since he is not young and sometimes he really can't keep up with the intensity of the criminal investigation team.

As a result, because they were never enough people, he never left.

Now Jiao Weimin himself is not in a hurry to leave, and sometimes he even jokes that he can probably stay here until retirement.

Even though there's a shortage of personnel, the Criminal Investigation Brigade isn't a place where you can just join anyone. So, it's unclear when they'll be able to recruit next. Because of the shortage, they'll be very busy for the next period of time.

Su He has been working overtime every day lately, and she looks quite haggard.

She now particularly wishes she had something like a spiritual spring, which other transmigrated heroines have, so that drinking from it could quickly replenish her energy and prevent her from getting tired.

Sigh, it was just wishful thinking.

After finishing her investigation of a suspect in a new case, Su He returned to her office and lay down on her desk, too exhausted to move.

"What's wrong, Captain Su? Are you alright?"

Su He shook her head at Zhou Yan, "Oh no, the suspect's home is too far away this time. I felt like I could barely pedal my bicycle back. When will our unit be able to get a few more cars?"

This is the Criminal Investigation Division! The cases you receive are all incredibly important! We're usually so busy, we can't afford to waste time on the road!

Do you think it's possible to get Captain Chen to apply for another car for our daily case-handling needs?

No sooner had he said that than Captain Chen walked in and said, "We don't have cars, but we do have motorcycles."

"Motorcycle? What motorcycle?"

These words piqued the interest of not only Su He, but also the others.

Seeing this, Captain Chen smiled at everyone and said, "I applied for two motorcycles from the higher-ups a while ago, and they've been delivered. They'll be kept in the team from now on, and you can use them when you go out on missions."

Although the monthly gasoline allowance is still rationed, motorcycles don't consume as much fuel as cars, so if I use it sparingly, it should be enough.
