Chapter 145 Come, Smile

"Once the investigation is thorough, we will inform your unit if you two have made outstanding contributions in assisting with the case," the police officer assured.

After the two parties reached an agreement, the police took over the three kidnapped car thieves and rode their bicycles back to the police station together.

Lin Xiangnan held the handlebars of his bike and bent down to check everything carefully before getting on the bike.

The boss of the car theft gang took the initiative to confess at this time, "There is a part that I forgot to give you."

Lin Xiangnan couldn't help but slap him on the forehead and said angrily: "I knew you had bad intentions. You want me to fall flat on my face while riding my bike, right?"

Fortunately, she was careful enough to check before riding the bike, otherwise the boy would not have confessed on his own initiative.

Feeling so angry, Lin Xiangnan couldn't help but hit him again.

The police officer who caught the car thief opened his mouth, seemed to be about to say something, and finally closed it.

Lin Xiangnan and his two men were fighting against six people, but they still managed to capture three prisoners. It was obvious at first glance that they were not good people.

The target of the beating was the car thief, not him, so it doesn't count as disrespecting the police.

The bike thief shook his head and said with frustration and grievance: "I didn't mean to throw you. It's just that if that part is not installed, it will be very difficult for you to ride the bike."

"You have no good intentions." Lin Xiangnan glared at him, not afraid of getting dirty, and started checking on his own.

After finding the problem, Lin Xiangnan searched on the ground, found the right part, and installed it himself.

"You can repair bicycles?" The bicycle thief looked at Lin Xiangnan in shock. "You can repair bicycles, so why did you chase me when I ran away?"

Lin Xiangnan took out a handkerchief, wiped the oil off his hands, and said confidently: "Of course I'm afraid of getting dirty. This black stuff is on my hands and I can't wipe it clean."

Even if she was a rookie at the beginning, and had been learning from the technical department for more than half a year, and had to go to the workshop from time to time, and repairing a bicycle was difficult for her, then her work would have been in vain.

The group of car thieves were so angry at Lin Xiangnan's answer that they didn't want to talk.

It was just their bad luck that the car they stole was from Lin Xiangnan, and they got caught for no apparent reason.

The group rode bicycles to the Public Security Bureau. When recording their statements, Lin Xiangnan could only give the phone number of her unit so that the police could verify her identity.

When he said he was a military dependent and worked in a military-industrial unit, the people at the Public Security Bureau basically treated Lin Xiangnan as one of their own and even brought him tea.

Because many public security officers nowadays are retired from the army, they naturally feel close to people like Lin Xiangnan.

With Lin Xiangnan at the forefront, Aunt Hua said: "I retired a long time ago. Xiaolin and I are neighbors."

In this situation, as long as Lin Xiangnan's identity is not a problem, there will be no problem with her identity.

Lin Xiangnan looked at Aunt Hua with resentment, "After all, I took it all."

"You are thick-skinned. You can handle it." Aunt Hua was not ashamed at all, and even suggested: "Don't tell anyone when you get home. Otherwise, my son will nag me again."

"I'm afraid my mother will nag me."

The two looked at each other, with a tacit understanding. They said nothing as they prepared to go home.

Although the police officers in the station felt familiar with their identities, they still dutifully called to verify them.

When Chief Engineer Zhang received the call from the Public Security Bureau, he was shocked. "Comrade Xiaolin's car was stolen? And several car thieves were caught? Two against six?"

"Wait a minute, the female comrade you are talking about is called Lin Xiangnan, right? Lin as in forest, and Nan as in east, south, west and north?" Chief Engineer Zhang was not sure and checked it again.

After confirming that the information was correct, Chief Engineer Zhang hung up the phone, still a little confused, muttering: "Director Hua is an old revolutionary, I believe he has this ability. Can Xiao Lin have this ability? Isn't she a headache?"

But no matter what, Lin Xiangnan acted bravely and helped the police solve the case, which is very worthy of praise.

Thinking of this, Chief Engineer Zhang called the factory’s union office again.

"Xiao Lin from our department has done something brave... You should contact the Public Security Bureau... The trade union should at least commend him... I think Xiao Lin can be shortlisted for next year's advanced model..."

As soon as he hung up the phone, Chief Engineer Zhang stroked his chin and said, "I'll go see Xiaolin in person tomorrow. I don't know if she's injured."

He has no habit of hiding his achievements and fame. If he has arranged benefits for his subordinates, he has to let them know.

Otherwise it would be difficult for him to lead this team.

Lin Xiangnan didn't know what Chief Engineer Zhang had done for her, so she went straight home after leaving the Public Security Bureau.

After returning home, she and Aunt Hua acted as if nothing had happened and they didn't mention the incident of the stolen bicycle at all.

As a result, the next day, Chief Engineer Zhang and his trade union comrades came to express their condolences with gifts and certificates in a grand manner.

"I asked the union comrades to prepare this certificate for you. Come, let's take a photo together with this certificate." Chief Engineer Zhang and Lin Xiangnan stood side by side, looking very proud.

Lin Xiangnan's smile froze on his face.

"Don't be nervous, smile more naturally. This photo will only be published in our own factory's newspaper, and we are all family members." The comrade from the Propaganda Department comforted us while taking pictures.

After the photos were taken, Chief Engineer Zhang said happily: "Our comrades from the Propaganda Department have gone to the Public Security Bureau to take photos and conduct interviews. You can cooperate with him in the interview later. The manuscript of your brave act will be out soon. Promote it more, and you will definitely be an advanced person next year."

"I never thought you were so brave, Comrade Xiaolin. Are you injured? If you have any wounds or bruises, you can ask the comrades from the Propaganda Department to take a picture of you."

"Are you scared? Do you have a headache? You did such a big thing without saying anything. Everyone in our office was worried to death about you."

Seeing Chief Engineer Zhang talking nonstop, Lin Xiangnan no longer had the desire to speak.

Because Hu Meili's eyes almost penetrated her, Lin Xiangnan felt inexplicably guilty.

Their house became inexplicably lively, which made Luo Caixia and Aunt Hua next door curious and they came over to watch.

Just as Aunt Hua approached and hadn't asked what was going on, Chief Engineer Zhang shouted enthusiastically: "Director Hua, you are still as brave as ever..."

"I'm retired, why am I still called the director?" Aunt Hua saw that something was wrong and prepared to slip away.

Chief Engineer Zhang stopped her and said, "They are all heroes who bravely stand up for justice. Aunt Hua, please take a photo with Xiaolin."

Aunt Hua wanted to run away, but the comrades from the union were too enthusiastic and pushed her directly to Lin Xiangnan.

"Come on, smile."
