Chapter 60
【1】
Eight years ago, in the office of the Imperial Capital Police Academy.
"Captain Ye, these are the most outstanding students in this class. Do you think they are okay?" A middle-aged man in a white shirt walked forward and handed a stack of information to a man sitting in an office chair.
The man was tall and slender, wearing a white shirt with a neat black suit jacket. He was wearing sunglasses and holding a lollipop stick casually in his mouth.
He looked like he was looking at the information seriously, and the lollipop stick in his mouth was spinning around because he was biting it.
Ye Pulan flipped through a few pages of information on the table and said: "Chen Shuqiu, Pei Jingji, Jiang Aichen"
His voice was cold and unapproachable.
The middle-aged male teacher immediately replied: "Yes, these three are the most outstanding students in our police academy. Pei Jingji is definitely one of the most talented forensic scientists. He has won first place in national forensic competitions many times. Last time, Lao Yuan, a forensic scientist from the Imperial Capital General Administration, saw him and praised him as a future leader in the forensic field."
"It's even more needless to say about Shen Shuhao. Don't think he doesn't care about anything. In fact, he is an expert in controlling light and shadow and shaping portraits. With more practice in the future, he will definitely be an excellent portrait artist."
"In the future, when our country has more surveillance cameras installed, it will be much easier to identify the murderer using a portrait than through formal reasoning and criminal investigation."
The middle-aged male teacher continued, "It's just that Shen Shuhao's student registration is not here, but in the art academy next door, so the process is more complicated. But if you agree to let him study abroad with you, the process can be handled by our police academy."
The middle-aged male teacher focused on Shen Shuhao and Pei Jingji, but missed the last one, Jiang Aichen.
Ye Pulan picked up Jiang Aichen's personal information and said, "What about him?"
When Jiang Aichen was mentioned, the middle-aged male teacher immediately became interested. He emphasized and praised him: "This guy is amazing. He is the pride of our police station. He ranks among the top in every exam. He also combines theory with practice. Last month, he helped a branch of our imperial capital solve a serial murder case."
After listening to the middle-aged male teacher's introduction, Gu Beizhi, who was standing behind Ye Pulan, seemed to have an impression of Jiang Aichen. He said: "I remember that this kid was recommended to me by Old Chu. He said he was very talented and a hexagonal warrior with no shortcomings."
Hearing that he was an acquaintance, Ye Pulan said bluntly: "He is already retired, how can he still be willing to recommend someone to you?"
Gu Beizhi seemed to be used to his attitude. He replied indifferently: "Yes, it's you who took over his position."
As if he had thought of something, Gu Beizhi continued: "In the beginning, Lao Chu was most annoyed by you. When the country issued a document confirming that you would be the captain of the Interpol national team, he drank in his office and scolded you all night."
Ye Pulan didn't take Gu Beizhi's words to heart. He said sarcastically: "That old man also curses people behind their backs."
"I thought he would only scold me to my face."
Gu Beizhi explained slowly: "He has been a criminal police officer the longest internationally and has long been accustomed to the old-fashioned way of investigating cases. Your way of investigating cases is too modern, so it's normal that he can't understand it."
Ye Pulan was not convinced and said: "Why does he obey you? What's the difference between us?"
Gu Beizhi smiled and added: "I didn't get drunk and shave his head with a razor."
Ye Pulan:……
Ye Pulan knew that he was in the wrong. He raised his eyebrows, then pinched the information between two fingers and handed it to Gu Beizhi beside him: "Take a look at these materials."
Gu Beizhi did not look up Ye Pulan's dark history again. He took the information and flipped through a few pages. After confirming that the person he was looking for was not there, he said, "Teacher Du, you are not honest."
Du Ming is the name of the middle-aged male teacher.
He didn't understand what Gu Beizhi meant, and he asked in confusion: "Captain Gu, what do you mean by that?"
“This is really a list of outstanding students who have been strictly screened by our school’s in-service teachers.”
Ye Pulan didn't beat around the bush. He took off his sunglasses, casually rolled up the temples of his glasses, and put them back into his pocket.
"Before I came here, I heard that there was a student in your school who was good at criminal psychology, portrait profiling, hypnosis, and shooting. She was versatile in all aspects. Why didn't I see her in the information you gave me?"
Criminal Minds
Portrait profiling
Hypnotic
Du Ming immediately knew who Ye Pulan was talking about. He patted his head and said, "You are talking about the freshman Song Lue, right?"
Ye Pulan did not hide her purpose: "Yes."
"I'm not hiding anything from you. She failed the written test you prepared!" Du Ming explained.
"Why didn't you pass?" Ye Pulan asked simply.
"There is no problem with her professional ability, but she got zero points in professional ethics," said Du Ming.
Ye Pulan: “Oh”
Du Ming was afraid that he would not believe him, so he said, "Wait a minute, I'll find the test paper for you."
After a while, Du Ming returned to his desk and rummaged around, finally pulling out a test paper and handing it to Ye Pulan.
Ye Pulan took it and glanced at the answer in front of him. His face was calm and no emotion could be seen.
Finally, he saw the answer to the last question.
[Q: If you encounter a drug lord who has been on the run for a long time in the wild and you are holding a gun, what should you do? 】
[Answer: Shoot on the spot. The drug lord must die!]
Seeing the wanton and flamboyant words on the test paper, Ye Pulan smiled: "The answer is quite interesting."
Du Ming didn't understand what was so funny. He felt that as a school teacher, he was pissed off by Song Lue: "This is funny. Do you want to see her answer later?"
later--
[Q: If the drug lord has a bomb tied to his body, what is the most correct solution?]
[Answer: Just detonate the bomb. I don't have to live, but he must die!]
Ye Pulan raised his eyebrows and concluded: "He is so aggressive despite his young age."
Du Ming said: "That's right."
Gu Beizhi noticed that something was wrong with Song Luo's answer, so he asked: "What did she go through?"
Du Ming sighed, as if he didn't want to say anything. After hesitating for a long time, he said, "Her father was a famous drug enforcement officer in the city. Five years ago, he was discovered by a drug lord during a drug enforcement mission and was blown up. Her brother inherited their father's police number and also became a drug enforcement officer. He also died three years ago. It may be that the mission of the father and son was exposed, and her mother was implicated and killed by a drug dealer a year ago. If it wasn't a coincidence that she was in a boarding high school at the time, she might be dead now."
After saying this, Du Ming sighed: "Now, she is the only one left in the Song family, and she is also a miserable child."
Ye Pulan remained silent.
Du Ming continued, "Originally, her father's police force felt sorry for her and planned to let her enroll in an easy major like secretarial work when she was in college. It was not impossible for them to find her a less busy contract position in the police force later. After all, a hero's family cannot be cut off from the rest of the family."
"But this child is a genius. Before she received the admission letter, she had already learned all the courses for four years of college. She even learned profiling and portraiture from her brother and father. She even ranked first in shooting and fighting."
"The school weighed the pros and cons for a long time, but in the end they were unwilling to give up such a good talent for the future police force, so they kept her."
Seeing that Ye Pulan didn't say anything, Du Ming continued: "She may not be a good police officer in her mentality, but in terms of her actual situation, she is definitely a criminal investigation genius."
"Where is she?" Ye Pulan said suddenly.
"Their class is taking a shooting lesson, and she should be in the shooting room now."
"Take me there."
【2】
When Du Ming brought Ye Pulan to the shooting room, the students in the room were wearing ear protectors and conducting shooting training as if no one was around.
The sound of gunfire, one after another, echoed throughout the classroom.
Ye Pulan stood straight at the classroom door with his arms folded across his chest.
The teacher who was checking the shooting situation noticed two people standing at the door, and after thinking for a moment decided to come over.
"Director Du." The teacher called politely.
"This is Ye Pulan, the captain of Interpol's Chinese detachment. He came to us to select people." Du Ming introduced politely.
"Oh, you are the famous Master Ye, hello."
Ye Pulan didn't have time to chat with them. He glanced at the students practicing shooting and asked, "Who is Song Luo?"
The teacher pointed to a little girl standing straight not far away: "That's her."
Ye Pulan looked in the direction indicated.
The little girl was indeed the most conspicuous person in the crowd. She had a straight figure and simple and neat short hair, which perfectly displayed her aloof and stubborn character.
Ye Pulan stared at her back, chuckled, and then asked out of the blue: "Do you have any chewing gum?"
Du Ming didn't understand what he meant: "Ah"
"Chewing gum." Ye Pulan repeated, and explained, "It's the first time I meet a girl, so I have to get rid of the smell of cigarettes in my mouth."
"Oh, okay." Du Ming rummaged through his pockets in a panic, then handed him the only piece of chewing gum in his pocket.
Ye Pulan chewed for a few times and then strode over.
He silently patted the boy in the front row who was practicing shooting, and gestured to him to give him the gun.
The boy turned his head and glanced at Du Ming and his shooting teacher behind him before he obediently handed the gun to him.
Bang, bang, bang——
Ye Pulan took the pistol, put on ear protection, and fired a few shots at the target at random.
Each bullet penetrated within a few millimeters of the center of the target. After a few shots, only three or two bullet holes were left on the target.
Two or three bullets passed through the same bullet hole.
So stable!
Noticing the rapid progress of the person next to him, Song Luo couldn't help but turn his head to glance at him curiously.
After seeing that the person standing next to me was not my classmate. Song Luo seemed to understand something. She raised the corner of her lips slightly, changed the magazine, and imitated him, holding the gun and shooting at the target.
Bang, bang, bang——
Eight bullets penetrated the center of the target, leaving six bullet holes, but none of them went out of bounds.
"Wow," Ye Pulan put down the gun and clapped his hands casually, "Great."
Song Luo had no time to exchange pleasantries with him. She took off her earmuffs, sorted her pistol, and said bluntly: "I'm not going abroad."
Ye Pulan: “Oh”
Don't ask who he is
I don't even ask him why he came here.
I immediately understood that he was here to take her abroad.
Ye Pulan was not curious about how she knew all this. He smiled calmly and asked: "Why?"
Song Luo: "I have no interest in protecting the world. I just want to protect my country."
"Why do you think you can protect this country as soon as you graduate?" Ye Pulan asked.
"I didn't say as soon as I graduate," Song Luo said stubbornly, "but with my ability, I believe that within a year, I can become a qualified drug enforcement officer, so I don't want to go abroad."
Ye Pulan glanced at the surface of the gun without caring and concluded nonchalantly: "Oh, you want to be a drug enforcement officer."
Song Luo did not hide: "Yeah."
"Why"
Song Luo raised his head and answered firmly: "I want to make sure that all evil has nowhere to hide. I want the law to be long and wide, and all justice in the world can stand in the sunshine."
"Ah!" Ye Pulan exclaimed with regret.
Song Luo tilted her head. She didn't think what she said just now was wrong. She tilted her head and glanced at the person next to her.
He just replied perfunctorily: "Don't be nervous, I'm not talking about you."
After saying that, he did not forget to look back at Du Ming who was not far away.
"Who was the last student to practice shooting? He didn't calibrate the gun before practicing shooting. Was he going to waste all the bullets in the police academy?"
Du Ming and the shooting teacher immediately waved their hands in unison: "No, no."
Ye Pulan mentioned it casually, and he immediately turned back to the previous topic: "What did you say just now?"
Song Luo was not annoyed. She continued to talk about her ambition: "I want to make sure drug dealers have nowhere to hide."
"Why is it a drug dealer?" Ye Pulan pretended to be ignorant.
"Since you came to me, you should have checked my background," Song Luo said through gritted teeth. "Why is he a drug dealer? You should know."
"They killed your entire family and you want revenge," Ye Pulan said indifferently.
"Yes." Song Luo did not hide it, "I made them pay the price for their greed one by one."
As if recalling his past, Song Luo's expression changed and he said, "When something becomes profitable, those people who don't care about their lives will flock to it. They regard life as worthless and even regard the police who are diligently protecting the people as stumbling blocks to themselves."
"Some of them may not have graduated from junior high school, some may have never learned to read, and some may be a bunch of idle scum in society."
"They are born greedy and want to use the values created by their shallow knowledge to experience a life of getting something for nothing. So they are willing to take risks and do things that can make a profit but challenge the bottom line of the law."
Song Luo raised his eyes instantly, his eyes full of bloodshot: "But why! Why do a group of highly educated drug enforcement police officers have to sacrifice their lives for such a group of greedy desperadoes? Why do a group of police officers who only want to protect our country have their families destroyed because of the greed of those scum? Why do police officers who uphold national justice have to hide their identities and live a life without seeing the light? Those police officers just want to protect their country! What have they done wrong!"
Ye Pulan seemed very satisfied with Song Luo's reaction.
He calmly put down the gun in his hand and said calmly: "You have a strong sense of justice."
"Hmph." Song Luo made an unconvinced sound.
"Four years," Ye Pulan said, "I can make you an absolutely outstanding police officer, and you will be able to find all the underground dens of drug dealers and wipe them out in one fell swoop."
Song Luo was silent for a moment, as if he was somewhat moved.
"What's the price?" Song Luo said in a cold voice, "Any reward should come at a price."
"That's right," Ye Pulan did not hide his intentions, "The price is to go abroad with me, and I will teach you personally."
Song Luo was on high alert: "How much can I trust you?"
Ye Pulan asked back: "Do you mean I can make you the best police officer in four years or are you doubting whether you can become a qualified police officer in four years?"
Song Luo didn't get the answer she wanted, but unexpectedly, she felt that she could trust him.
She asked: “Do I need to drop out of school now?”
Ye Pulan knocked her head and said, "What are you thinking? If you drop out now and can't get your diploma, which police force will dare to hire you in four years?"
Song Luo said nothing coldly.
Ye Pulan continued: "For the past four years, I have been taking online classes all the time, and I have to go back to school to take exams at the end of the semester. There are no winter and summer vacations. Can you accept this?"
Song Luo answered firmly: "Yes."
Ye Pulan: "Don't rush to agree. There are still some small details I haven't told you yet."
"It doesn't matter. The details are not important," Song Luo said. "I just want the result."
Ye Pulan corrected her: "That's not what a qualified criminal police officer should say. Sometimes the key to solving a case lies in some unnoticed details."
"I don't want to be a criminal police officer," Song Luo corrected him, "I want to be a drug enforcement officer."
Ye Pulan: "Okay, in four years, I will make you a qualified drug enforcement officer."
Song Luo rarely refuted him. She returned to the previous topic and asked: "What is the little detail you didn't mention just now?"
"The small detail is that you will be abroad for four years and will only come back for the final exam, so you will not get any credits for your regular attendance," Ye Pulan said. "If you want to get enough credits to get a diploma, you need to get the final exam results that meet the school teacher's requirements."
"Okay." Song Luo agreed without hesitation.
"Quite confident." Ye Pulan exclaimed.
Song Luo raised his chin and said, "All the efforts I have made do not allow me to be unconfident."
【3】
The task was urgent, so in the second week after Ye Pulan selected the new people, Song Luo followed Ye Pulan and Gu Beizhi to go abroad.
Originally, Gu Beizhi meant to bring another genius from the police academy over as well.
But the child was very stubborn and refused to follow them abroad to serve as an Interpol officer. He even thought it was a waste of time.
In his own words: I don’t think practice is more important than theory. When a person’s ability cannot support the promotion of theory through practice, then he will not understand the principles behind the successful experiments even if he does them too many times. What interests me is not the result, but the process of applying all my knowledge to get the result.
They are two completely opposite extremes from Song Luo who only seeks results.
After Gu Beizhi's repeated persuasion, Jiang Aichen simply locked himself in the dormitory and refused to see anyone.
Even his teacher who went to see him was turned away.
On the plane, Ye Pulan heard Gu Beizhi's description and laughed disdainfully: "Overseas countries are not good places to begin with. If you don't want to come, forget it."
Gu Beizhi expressed his concerns: "Don't you think that there are only three of us in our team, which is a bit too few?"
Ye Pulan, wearing sunglasses, looked around and asked, "Three is too few?"
Gu Beizhi: "The other teams all have seven or eight people."
Ye Pulan: "They lack the ability, but they have the numbers. The three of us are elites, so one can easily defeat two."
"One equals two. By this calculation, the three of us are a team of six," said Ye Pulan.
Gu Beizhi didn't know whether he was mocking or sincere when he said, "You are quite open-minded."
Ye Pulan took off his sunglasses and wiped them with the toilet paper beside him: "How can I not look at it in a positive way? I hate management the most. If I have to manage five or six people at once, you might as well kill me directly."
Noticing that Song Luo hadn't spoken for a long time, Ye Pulan thought she was asleep at first, until he caught a glimpse of her playing with her cell phone out of the corner of his eye.
Seeing her calm expression, Ye Pulan turned his head and stared at her with amusement: "Why aren't you afraid or worried that Gu Beizhi and I are bad guys and kidnapped you and sold you abroad?"
"Before selling me, how did you know that it wasn't me who sold you out?" Song Luo said in a cold voice.
Ye Pulan silently looked at the sunglasses in his hand. He spread out the two legs of the sunglasses and put them on Song Luo's face.
"Confidence is a good thing," Ye Pulan said, "but before you become confident, you must learn to hide your own thoughts."
"Sometimes being deliberately distant is not a way to prove that you are strong and difficult to approach."
Ye Pulan continued, "On the contrary, the more capable a person is, the more they will hide themselves. They will hide their edge at the appropriate time, making everyone think that she is the same as themselves, and sometimes, they will even subconsciously think that she is weaker than themselves."
"Thus, during the process of communication and chatting, everyone will relax their vigilance against her, and in this way, the powerful person with strong abilities can get whatever he needs without any effort."
Song Luo stared at him seriously.
After looking at me for a long time, she asked: "So, is this the kind of person you are?"
Ye Pulan seemed to have heard a very funny joke, he couldn't help laughing: "Do you think I look like him?"
Song Luo nodded solemnly: "Yes."
Ye Pulan turned around and told Gu Beizhi: "She said I am very capable."
Gu Beizhi said calmly: "Then she may have some misunderstanding about you."
【4】
As soon as Song Luo arrived at the Interpol building, Ye Pulan knocked on her dormitory door before she could make her bed.
Song Luo looked up.
There are very few women in Interpol, so there is no separate dormitory building. Instead, they live in the same building as the boys, they live on the top floor and the boys live on the first to fourth floors.
So, it didn't take much effort for Ye Pulan to come up.
Song Luo lived in a single room and had no roommates. Ye Pulan knocked on her open dormitory door openly.
"Little girl, let's go eat together," Ye Pulan said nonchalantly, leaning his arm on the door of the dormitory.
Song Luo stood up and was about to walk to the door when Ye Pulan stepped forward and put his arm around her shoulders. "Why are you calling me little girl? Do you really think you're a young lady who never leaves the house?"
"Don't forget, you are a criminal police officer now."
Song Luo did not feel any discomfort, she said: "What's wrong with being a criminal police? Once I become a criminal police, I am no longer a girl."
"Don't twist my meaning," Ye Pulan said, "I mean, we in the criminal police team have to rely on robbing to get food."
Song Luo, who was confused, said: “Hmm”
Sure enough, when the two of them rushed to the cafeteria, only soup was left of the lunch.
Ye Pulan pinched her waist and said, "There really is only soup left."
The canteen windows of the police force are divided into Chinese food area and other food areas. Because Chinese food is more popular within the criminal police team, if you want to eat three hot meals, you basically have to fight for them.
Gu Beizhi, who was passing by with his plate, said: "Old Ye, you're late."
"Yes," Ye Pulan sighed, "including logistics, there are only ten people from our country in Interpol. I don't know where so many people come from to compete with us for food."
"Everyone on Aaron's team likes Chinese food," said Gu Beizhi.
"Ah——" Ye Pulan, who didn't get to eat, was a little annoyed. He raised his hand and brushed the hair on the back of his head, "Annoyed!"
Gu Beizhi guessed what was going on behind his action and said, "You don't want to fight him again, do you? Last time, you two had a big fight over a potato pancake, and Old Chu almost died young because of you."
Ye Pulan, whose thoughts were guessed, said: "At Lao Chu's age, it's not appropriate for him to be young."
People who say bad things about others behind their backs will always be caught, and Ye Pulan, who always prides himself on being lucky, is no exception.
Just as he finished speaking, a man in his forties or fifties walked towards them from not far away. He walked with a dull step and had a sense of leadership that came from years of training. One glance at him made people feel that he had an innate majestic temperament.
He walked forward, picked up the documents in his hand and swung them at Ye Pulan's back.
Feeling a pain coming from behind, Ye Pulan looked back vigilantly.
"What nonsense are you talking about again, you little brat?" Old Chu scolded.
Ye Pulan was not at all flustered. With the youthfulness that only belongs to his age, he said nonchalantly: "You have retired, haven't you?"
"Even if I'm about to retire, I have to fulfill my duty as a leader to a new colleague," said Lao Chu. "You rascal, if I don't keep you in check, you'll be in big trouble."
Ye Pulan said nonchalantly: "As long as you don't go to hell, that's fine."
Old Chu's expression changed, and he said seriously: "Nonsense!"
Can you say something like this casually?
Ye Pulan felt like her ears were about to get calluses from being scolded: "Yes."
As if worried that Ye Pulan would leave a bad impression on Song Luo, who had just arrived, Lao Chu said: "Ye Pulan is quite capable, but he is a bit rude. You will get used to it once you get used to it."
Ye Pulan was too lazy to listen to his boss saying bad things about him in front of him, so he said: "Old Chu, do you want to eat some hot pot noodles?"
Lao Chu said angrily: "You know I haven't eaten, and you still ask me?"
"Okay," Ye Pulan said lazily, "Wait."
After saying that, Ye Pulan walked away.
Song Luo followed his back and looked over. For some reason, she always felt that he was not as unreliable as he appeared to be.
-
After Ye Pulan left, Lao Chu specifically explained the work tasks to Song Luo.
Halfway through the conversation, Ye Pulan came over with three bowls of noodles on a plate.
"Let's eat first." Ye Pulan said, and put the bowl of noodles in his hand on an empty table in the cafeteria.
As soon as Song Luo sat down, Ye Pulan pushed a bowl of noodles with a whole egg in front of her.
She was stunned for a moment.
Old Chu seemed not to notice the two people's little movements. He was still busy explaining the international precautions.
"Xiao Luo, you must remember that we in Interpol must always remain neutral. We cannot get involved in any politics, military, religion, or non-transnational crimes. Everything must be done with the safety of the world's people in mind."
While listening, Song Luo stirred the noodles in front of him.
Song Luo, who had just arrived, was still a little uncomfortable. After Lao Chu explained something, she would always raise her head and respond.
Ye Pulan put his legs on the iron surface between the two seats, rested his free left arm on it, and picked up a piece of noodles with his right hand and stuffed it into his mouth.
The smooth noodles were quickly "slurped" into his stomach. Just as he was about to pick up another piece of noodles with chopsticks, he glanced and noticed Song Lue who was "listening" attentively.
He paused as if he was amused by Song Luo's serious expression. He said, "Eat your meal. Old Chu is a talkative person. If you wait for him to finish talking before eating, your noodles would have turned into lumps."
When Ye Pulan spoke, it was like dropping dynamite in Lao Chu's ears. He looked at Ye Pulan beside him and scolded: "Ye Pulan, what nonsense are you talking about!"
"Put your position in the right place. You are a retired person now, and I am the captain of our team. I didn't say anything, so why are you talking nonsense?" Ye Pulan said in a nonchalant way to protect his son. "I have to listen to your sermons during meals. My new teammates are not annoyed, but I am."
"I have led so many criminal police teams, and yours is the most difficult to lead," said Lao Chu.
Ye Pulan replied nonchalantly: "That's why you have been a leader in Interpol for so many years. If I had come earlier, you would have been so angry with me that you would have retired seven or eight years ago."
Ye Pulan seemed to be deliberately trying to attract more attention. He continued, "By the way, I've only been here for three years and you're retiring. You're not really mad at me, are you?"
After saying that, he did not forget to mock the previous sentence: "You have lived for so many years, but you still don't have a good heart."
After these three sentences, Lao Chu's anger rose again and he felt like his head was about to explode.
He yelled at Ye Pulan: "You little bastard, if I hadn't protected you all these years, I don't know how much trouble you would have caused me. You just want to irritate me every day. When I return to China, I will definitely apply to the higher-ups to transfer you back!"
Ye Pulan continued to say nonchalantly: "Okay, just help me apply for a position as director. I really want to be a leader."
Old Chu was so angry at Ye Pulan that he was shaking: "Ye Pulan!"
"Oh, here it is." Ye Pulan said easily.
"You've been giving me a lot of trouble since the first day you joined the game. Can you learn from Gu Beizhi..."
Old Chu couldn't stop scolding Ye Pulan, so Song Luo had some free time, so she picked up a mouthful of noodles and put it into her mouth.
Surprisingly, Ye Pulan’s cooking skills were not terrible, but rather quite tasty.
Maybe it was because he was too hungry, or maybe his cooking was just to his liking, but Song Luo finished a whole bowl of food very quickly.
Ye Pulan watched her eating properly from the corner of his eye and smiled imperceptibly. He retracted his gaze and said to Lao Chu who was still bringing up the past: "Lao Chu, are you going to eat? It's getting cold."
After his reminder, Lao Chu remembered to eat.
He stopped scolding and started eating quickly.
Ye Pulan, who had barely touched his chopsticks, looked at Song Lue first. As if curious, he asked: "Why do you want to be a policeman?"
Others, not that no one had guessed why she wanted to be a police officer, all more or less thought that it might be related to the tragic death of her family.
In fact, their guess was indeed correct.
Song Luo simply said two words: "Revenge."
Old Chu, who was eating, suddenly stopped and stared at Song Lue in shock.
Good job!
He was just glad that the little girl in front of him looked quiet, well-behaved and obedient, and would definitely not be the next Ye Pulan.
In the end, who knew that she was actually even crazier than Ye Pulan?
"That's not the reason," Ye Pulan said firmly, "You lied."
Song Luo didn't know where his confidence came from: "Where did I lie?"
Ye Pulan said: "Even if I gave you a gun right now, you would not kill the murderer of your family on the spot."
Hearing this, Song Lue lowered his head slightly.
He is absolutely right.
She wouldn't do that.
It’s not that she doesn’t have that much hatred for the drug lord.
Instead, she loves her country madly.
Just like my brother and father who are willing to sacrifice their lives for the stability of the country.
Therefore, she will respect the country's laws and respect the mission of the police entrusted by the country even more.
Song Luo seemed dissatisfied that he had seen through her thoughts. She raised her head stubbornly and said: "Why do you think I won't?"
Ye Pulan: "Because you said you wanted to protect your country."
【5】
Life in Interpol is much more boring than life in the police academy.
In addition to the overwhelming amount of training, there are also various boring modern criminal investigation theories.
It has become the norm to get up at five in the morning and finish training and studying at ten in the evening.
Fortunately, Ye Pulan has a casual personality and does not overly demand that Song Luo do anything certain.
But Song Luo seemed dissatisfied with the status quo. She was always the first to go to every training session and always at the forefront every time she went on a police call.
It looked like he wanted to learn all the knowledge he could in just one year.
Gu Beizhi had discussed with Ye Pulan in private the plan to reduce her burden, but was ruthlessly rejected by Ye Pulan.
He looked out the window at Song Luo running in the rain and said calmly: "She will be an amazing and talented criminal police officer in the future, but she needs to learn how to protect her natural abilities."
In the subsequent training, Ye Pulan always liked to follow her, and every time when she was about to give up, he would always say something in a teasing tone.
The amazing thing is that every time he said something, he could accurately grasp the explosive point of Song Luo's temper.
With just a little effort, she was so angry that she chased him all over the training ground and beat him up.
There are many international cases that need to be handled on a daily basis, and occasionally we need to cooperate with Interpol members from other countries.
Ye Pulan communicated with them smoothly in fluent English.
Occasionally, when he met a few foreigners who were curious about Song Luo’s identity, he would vaguely say - his girlfriend.
After the mission was over, he was inevitably chased and beaten by Song Luo, who also had strong English conversation skills, but he still fearlessly said that she was his girlfriend.
Later, Gu Beizhi told her that Ye Pulan had no intention of taking advantage of her, but the members of Interpol came from all over the world, and among them were inevitably some unruly people from other countries.
He said she was his girlfriend because he wanted to protect her and let those people who had no serious intentions stay away from her.
Everyone in the Interpol team knew how powerful he was. After all, when he first came in, he fought with many people because of his temper that no one could stand.
But the infuriating thing is that every time he was the one who started things, they were the ones who got beaten.
Within a year, he had basically beaten up all the people from other countries in Interpol.
And in the process, no one was able to fight back even a little bit.
He said that Song Luo was his girlfriend, so naturally no one with bad intentions would come and mess with her.
Sure enough, just as Ye Pulan thought, no one had ever bothered Song Luo during the years she had been in Interpol.
However, what he didn't know was that they stayed away from Song Lue not just because they thought she was his girlfriend.
But anyone who came to cause trouble was beaten back by Song Luo without exception.
Unlike Ye Pulan, she didn't know how to hold back. When she met someone causing trouble, she would just hit him without saying a word.
The fighting skills that Ye Pulan taught her, combined with her world-class Taekwondo skills, enabled her to beat the troublemakers so badly that they had no chance to fight back.
Later, a saying began to spread among Interpol: If you mess with that guy with a bad mouth, you can still save your life; but if you mess with that woman, it’s basically over.
The woman was naturally referring to Song Luo.

The day after Song Luo returned to China to take the school's final exams, Ye Pulan and Gu Beizhi also flew to the vicinity of the Imperial Capital Police Academy.
Ye Pulan leaned against the wall at the entrance of the academy, a stick casually in his mouth and playing with the wrapping paper in his hands.
Gu Beizhi smiled and said: "Captain Ye, you want to come back by yourself, why do you drag me along?"
Ye Pulan: "I'm afraid that girl will feel that China is too unsafe and won't want to go back with me, so I asked you to come over to help out."
Gu Beizhi said: "You know she won't."
Ye Pulan just acted like a rogue: "Stop it! How can I know what a little girl is thinking?"
Looking at his strange expression, Gu Beizhi seemed to see through his thoughts in an instant.
As if he was not in a hurry to expose his little thoughts, he raised the corner of his mouth and said without any context: "You have been very successful in quitting smoking recently."
"Yes," Ye Pulan said, "Smoking is harmful to your health, so you should smoke less."
Gu Beizhi was not in a hurry. He said slowly: "I never smoke."
Ye Pulan didn't feel the slightest bit embarrassed about being caught. He said as usual: "Oh, I forgot."
It's at the school gate, and there are already many students coming in and out.
Especially when they saw Ye Pulan and Gu Beizhi standing at the door, they couldn't help but chat with them in private.
There are all kinds of diverse topics.
I'm curious about what they are doing at the police academy.
Some people also praise them for their good looks.
Some also said that they were a celebrity who came to their school to film a movie.
There are even more outrageous ones -
Ye Pulan tilted her head and looked at Gu Beizhi through the sunglasses covering her eyes.
He looked at Gu Beizhi for several times before slowly saying, "Do we look like a couple?"
Gu Beizhi didn't care and said, "Not like that."
Ye Pulan turned his head and said confidently: "I think so too."
As soon as he finished speaking, a girl walked past him.
On the way, she did not forget to turn her head and stare at him intently.
This little girl, Ye Pulan, looked somewhat familiar. If he remembered correctly, this should be the fourth time she had walked past him and Gu Beizhi.
Her behavior didn't seem like she was just passing by, but rather like she was checking something.
As if he had guessed what was on your mind.
Ye Pulan stretched out his arm and placed it naturally on Gu Beizhi's shoulder.
He tilted his head slightly, trying to get his nose close to Gu Beizhi's face.
When the girl came closest to them, he uttered two words in a gentle voice: "Baby."
The sound is extremely lingering and ambiguous.
Gu Beizhi, the person involved, did not react at all. Instead, the expression of the girl who had just walked past them changed.
I don’t know if she was her companion, but a girl in a white skirt ran over from a distance. She put her arm around that girl and stared at Ye Pulan and the others fiercely.
When the girl saw the two handsome guys in front of her, and their faces came together to look at them, her mentality exploded.
Especially the one wearing sunglasses, he was smiling with a smug look on his face.
The girl in the white skirt whispered to comfort him: "It's okay, it's okay. I told you they must be a couple, but you didn't believe me."
The girl was a little out of control, and didn't care if Ye Pulan and the others could hear her. She burst into tears and said, "I know they are a couple, but I didn't expect that the one I like is the one below."
Ye Pulan, who didn't understand the situation, was a little unconfident. He turned his head to look at Gu Beizhi: "Who does she like?"
Gu Beizhi answered frankly: "I think it's you."
Ye Pulan: "She said I was the one below"
Gu Beizhi continued to add fuel to the fire and said, "Yeah."
Ye Pulan let go of him reflexively, smoothed her clothes with disgust, and said: "Old Gu, you make me feel sick."
Gu Beizhi smiled slightly: "Heh."
After an unknown amount of time, two girls in plain clothes walked out of the police academy gate.
As if not noticing them at all, one of the girls said, "Hey, we don't have classes this afternoon, let's eat and find a place to play."
Another girl started the conversation with great interest: "Take the bus five stops and there is a temple. I heard that you can get whatever you pray for. Do you want to go with me?"
"Okay."
After saying these words, the two girls quickly walked out of the hearing range of Gu Beizhi and Ye Pulan.
"Future police officers actually believe this!"
Ye Pulan's voice was brisk, not sounding like she was condemning anything, but rather like she was expecting something.
Gu Beizhi noticed that his tone was not right. He turned his head to look at him and asked, "Are you going?"
All in all, Ye Pulan and Gu Beizhi have been working together for two years.
Perhaps it was because the two of them were born with similar personalities, they could always easily understand what each other meant.
Ye Pulan did not hide his intentions. He said: "Go, you suggested it, how can I not go?"
Gu Beizhi: “Heh.”
-
It didn't take half an hour.
Gu Beizhi and Ye Pulan, who had rushed over by bus, were already standing at the entrance of the temple. They looked up at the plaque at the entrance in a very neat arc.
——Yue Lao Temple.
Gu Beizhi, who usually had a stable mood, couldn't help but frowning at this moment.
After a while, he calmed down and asked sincerely: "Captain Ye, do you think it's appropriate for the two of us to come here as a group?"
Gu Beizhi emphasized the word "group" very much, fearing that Ye Pulan would not be able to hear it.
Ye Pulan put away his sunglasses and said with a "don't worry" expression: "I'm not interested in you."
Ye Pulan always likes to wear sunglasses. Unless it is necessary, the pair of sunglasses that have been with him for five or six years seem to be welded to his face.
Even when Old Chu was in a meeting, he wouldn't take it off.
If he picked it once, it must be because he felt that the matter was very important and should be taken seriously.
Gu Beizhi looked at him seriously and asked, "You didn't know long ago that this is not a proper Buddhist temple, but a Yue Lao Temple, right?"
Ye Pulan chuckled: "Is it so obvious?"
Gu Beizhi: “Not bad.”
Gu Beizhi was curious and asked again: "Don't you usually disbelieve this?"
Ye Pulan did not answer. He walked into the ancestral hall with full respect and knelt on the cushion in the middle.
He straightened his back and kowtowed three times before looking up at the statue above with respect.
Gu Beizhi looked at him silently. He didn't know what wish Ye Pulan, who never believed in gods or Buddhas, would make.
However, a few minutes later, he heard him mutter: "Sometimes, it seems not bad if people have an afterlife."
