"My subordinates have already reported to me about your visit to the bureau last night. I had an upset stomach that day and was completely exhausted. The doctor told me to rest well, so I was unable to see you."
"I heard from Minister Chen that it was you who overcame all difficulties to find the missing comrade. Comrade Xie, you have worked hard."
Fu Cheng was full of apologies and concern, and his face did look weak, but his eyes were filled with inquiry.
Xie Lin sneered. Was this a test?
He also started speaking in an official tone.
"Director Fu, you're exaggerating. A director is human too, and humans get sick. You can't just pretend to be sick to shirk responsibility, right? The innocent will clear themselves, and no one will be so blind as to blame you."
"I've been searching the city for the past two days, vowing to find the culprit who trampled on the dignity of the Dragon Kingdom. Once I find him, I'll give him a good beating and avenge my brothers."
"I heard from Minister Chen that you are a conscientious public servant and a role model for public officials. Please reserve a position for the Bureau of Payment to help alleviate your worries."
Fu Cheng: ...Why does that sound so sarcastic?
He smiled and accepted the compliment readily, saying, "Comrade Xie, you flatter me."
Lu Fan and Yun Yousheng were guarding the ward. The two were very shrewd and could tell from their captain's tone that there was something more to it.
Perhaps the captain is already sharpening his knife; as for the target, those who know, know.
Minister Chen's dark eyes darted left and right, his smile remaining unchanged, revealing the care of an elder for a younger generation.
"Comrade Xie, where are the female comrades and two little boys who were with you? Oh, and what about the three big tigers? Did they go somewhere to play?"
"It's cold in the morning, are the children dressed warmly enough?"
"You are all brave young men of the Dragon Kingdom, and the three tigers are also good tigers of the Dragon Kingdom. With your dedicated protection, it is a blessing for our Dragon Kingdom."
"By the way, I have already informed all the public departments in the city and asked them to inform the public that if they see three big tigers in the city, they should not be afraid. They are good tigers of the same lineage as us Chinese."
In the past, there were skilled animal trainers who witnessed tigers living alongside humans and accepted it well.
Xie Lin pretended not to see Minister Chen's darting eyes.
As expected, experience counts. You clearly wanted to use your words to talk about the case, but the other person didn't mention a word about it, and you were forced to steer the conversation towards that topic.
"The children are all dressed warmly, thank you for your concern, Minister Chen. The fact that the three men and three tigers did not appear brings us to the matter of the secret passage."
“Minister Chen, Director Fu, you must already know that the man in the middle of the ward is my wife’s eighth brother, also known as my eighth brother-in-law.”
“My wife witnessed my brother suffer so much. If we had come any later, he might not have survived. She was furious and vowed to find the murderer herself.”
“She is still searching outside with her friends, vowing not to come back until she finds useful information, saying she is too ashamed to face her brother.”
“I was worried that people would be concerned if I left for too long, so I came back to say hello to my brothers.”
"To be honest, my wife is a little stubborn, a little clever, and a little cunning. Plus, she knows three local tigers well, so I believe she can get justice for myna and her brothers."
