Chapter 30 Chapter 30
Lu Jianing was stunned for a moment, then laughed wantonly and said, "Captain He, your way of changing the subject is really crude and simple. I couldn't react for a moment."
"You just need to answer - yes or no?" He Qifeng asked again.
Lu Jianing asked slowly, "Captain He, before I answer your question, can I ask you a question first?"
"You ask." He Qifeng said quickly.
Lu Jianing stared at him with interest: "What do you mean by what you just said? What case is Shen Junzhu involved in? Why don't I understand a word you said."
He Qifeng frowned and stared at her, as if trying to judge whether what she said was true or not from her expression.
"Also," Lu Jianing paused for a second and continued to speak to himself, "there is another connection. I think I need to explain it to Captain He."
"Shen Junzhu was indeed my college classmate, but we had a fight on the eve of graduation."
Lu Jianing raised his chin and continued, "I have an arrogant temper and hold grudges very hard. If she scolds me, then there is no need for me to keep in touch with her."
"Jiang Xingye and Jiang Yubai can both testify to this matter. If you don't believe me, you can ask them."

He Qifeng asked in a cold voice: "If I ask them, will they tell me the truth?"
Although it was clearly a rhetorical question, Lu Jianing read a hint of affirmation in his words.
Lu Jianing smiled confidently: "Why don't you tell the truth? Jiang Xingye is yours now."
"When I gave you a tip-off and gave you the clue, why didn't you tell him that he was my man?" He Qifeng asked back.
Lu Jianing didn't intend to hide this matter: "Captain He knows about it."
"Yeah." He Qifeng responded sullenly.
"How did you know?" Lu Jianing asked back.
He Qifeng said firmly: "If it weren't for him, you wouldn't have been able to find the murderer before us."
"What if I am just better at solving cases than you?" Lu Jianing said arrogantly, "My master is Jiang Aichen. I heard that when you were in college, he always ranked second in the exams, and the first place was my master."
"Is there anything wrong with me being good at solving cases based on this relationship?"
This time, He Qifeng was completely silent. He stared at her silently.
Lu Jianing didn't feel uncomfortable at all. She said, "Captain He, do you agree?"
"No," He Qifeng said, "I just suddenly felt that...blind self-confidence also requires talent."
Lu Jianing:?
Lu Jianing thought for a moment.
Although she couldn't hear it, she always felt that He Qifeng was mocking her.
Lu Jianin murmured uncertainly, "W-what do you mean?"
Lu Jianing: "Do you think... I'm bragging?"
Lu Jianing chuckled, and then like an unconvinced child, he said, "Uncle Master, I am now the captain of the second team of the Linjiang City Criminal Police Team. How could I brag?"
He Qifeng said nothing.
Lu Jianing, who was always confident, felt that her "personality" was challenged at this moment. She agreed: "Yes, I may have boasted, but Uncle Master..."
"I am at least five years younger than you, but that doesn't stop us from being on the same level now."
"You're almost 30, and you're on the same level as me, who's less than 25 years old..." Lu Jianing raised his head and gave He Qifeng an extremely arrogant smile, "Who do you think is less capable between us?"
He Qifeng really couldn't refute this point.
He glanced at her coldly, and then, as if very unconvinced, he raised his hand and directly picked up the hood of her sun protection jacket and put it on her head, and pressed it down hard several times.
Lu Jianing struggled to break free from him: "What are you doing!"
He Qifeng ignored him and walked straight forward. He walked up to Song Gengli and said, "Remember to go find Bai Yunan to go through the formalities."
After saying that, He Qifeng walked straight back to his office without waiting for Song Gengli's reply.
The hairstyle that Lu Jianing had specially done early in the morning was messed up by He Qifeng's single move.
Lu Jianing's mentality exploded.
If you can't argue, just take action.
He Qifeng, is he sick? Are you sick? Are you sick?
As if she was planning revenge, Lu Jianing glanced at her colleagues behind her, and after finding a suitable angle that was neither too far nor too close, she stepped forward and blocked the way in front of He Qifeng.
He Qifeng stopped and asked: "What?"
Lu Jianing folded her arms and looked at him with a malicious smile. She unconsciously raised her voice and said, "Captain He, don't be angry. I have rejected at least a hundred people who confessed to me..."
"But you are the first person who fought with me after being rejected by me."
As he spoke, Lu Jianing patted the dust off He Qifeng's shoulders in an ambiguous manner: "Men, it's not good to be too stingy."
After just a few words, the innocent colleagues standing behind him felt as if several "big melons" were being stuffed into their mouths.
After a uniform gasp, the air seemed to stagnate. For two full minutes, no one dared to say another word.
However, this was enough, and Lu Jianing smiled even more brightly.
She patted He Qifeng on the shoulder and comforted him loudly: "Captain He, I prefer people with stable emotions. I hope that next time you confess to me, you can be more stable."
"Maybe I will be conquered by you."
He Qifeng's face became gloomy again and again.
Thanks to his years of experience in "making people angry", Lu Jianing can always detect when something is wrong with the other person at the first moment.
This time was no exception. When Lu Jianing noticed that He Qifeng's expressionless face began to show some strangeness, he knew that he had achieved his goal.
She smiled triumphantly.
When it comes to making people angry, she has never lost since she was a child!
"What exactly do you want to do?" He Qifeng asked in a cold voice.
"You don't know that?" Lu Jianing answered in a relaxed voice, "Of course it's hot, so I gave some melons to my colleagues."
Lu Jianing gestured to his stunned colleagues behind him, and continued to whisper to He Qifeng, "How is it? The people in your team were so sleepy that they couldn't even open their eyes a minute ago. Now, I only said three short sentences and their eyes are wide open like bells."
"You should thank me. After all, I am helping you improve the morale of your team." Lu Jianing said shamelessly.
He Qifeng put his hand into his pocket.
He had just pulled out a small corner of the phone when Lu Jianing, with his quick hands and eyes, immediately pushed his hand and the phone back.
Lu Jianing corrected him righteously: "Hey - reporting to the teacher is the behavior of elementary school students. We are adults and we need to solve some problems ourselves."
"Here," Lu Jianing opened her phone case, took out a postcard and handed it to him. She deliberately raised her voice, as if for others to hear, and said, "Captain He, this is my postcard. It also has my QR code on it. If you still can't forget me, you can call me."
"I can provide you with 24-hour companionship service."
Seeing that He Qifeng didn't take it, Lu Jianing simply stuffed the postcard into his shirt pocket and patted him twice: "Keep it safe~"
Noticing that He Qifeng's expression kept changing, Lu Jianing knew that his patience was almost reaching its limit.
"Remember to contact me. I'm leaving first, Captain He."
After finishing her words quickly, Lu Jianing, who knew when to stop, immediately ran away in her high heels. When she passed by Song Gengli, she didn't forget to urge him, "I'll arrange for the maintenance company to come and fix it later. I'll take you back first."
"Oh..." Song Gengli nodded, still in shock, and followed.
When Lu Jianing and Song Gengli left the police station together, the detectives who were watching behind them were immediately in an uproar.
"It turned out to be Captain He who told Lu Jianing about this."
"Oh my god, I thought based on He Qifeng's personality, he would go on a blind date and get married quickly, but it turns out he's a straight shooter."
"You can't judge a person by his appearance."
"Lu Jianing rejected our congratulations. That's too much."
"As expected, men like beautiful and rich women. Our Captain He is indeed a vulgar person."
“Tsk tsk—”
The discussions around them never stopped, and they didn't even notice He Qifeng walking past them with an expressionless face.
After a long time, the enthusiasm of the surrounding criminal police for eating "melon" gradually faded, and they left reluctantly.
Only Bai Yunan stood there blankly, doubting his life.
-
At night by the river, the breeze was blowing gently, bringing a bit of chilliness.
In a high-end shopping mall in Linjiang City.
Lu Jianing was sitting on the sofa in the VIP box of a shoe store, changing his shoes. This book is exclusively compiled for you by the LK team
"Boss, did He Qifeng really ask you about Jun Zhu's case?" Jiang Xingye, who was sitting opposite her, blurted out in surprise.
"Yes," Lu Jianing, who was adjusting his ankle rope, answered nonchalantly, "He asked me so suddenly that I was really scared."
"How did you answer him?" asked Jiang Yubai who was standing nearby.
"I said Jun Zhu and I had a fight and we haven't been in touch since we graduated from college. If he doesn't believe me, he can ask you guys."
After saying that, Lu Jianing was still afraid that Jiang Yubai and Jiang Xingye would be nervous because of what she said, so she said, "Don't worry, he probably won't really ask you. After all, he knows that the three of us are in the same boat. If he asks you, you will lie."
He must be so idle that he would ask the same lie three times.
"That's right," Jiang Xingye murmured, "However, Linjiang is under the jurisdiction of He Qifeng after all. Although you have received your own tasks, there is no need to hide it from him."
"When it really becomes necessary, the higher-ups will notify them," Lu Jianing said nonchalantly, "We should just ignore it."
Jiang Xingye was a little anxious: "What if he can help us?"
"How can you help us?" Lu Jianing, who was adjusting the heels of her shoes, suddenly stopped and sneered, "Help us to die?"
Lu Jianing raised his eyes and stared at them and said, "Don't forget how Jun Zhu sacrificed himself."
Lu Jianing: "If we can handle this kind of case ourselves, we shouldn't involve others."
Jiang Yubai's body stiffened for a moment.
He turned his head and looked at Jiang Xingye, and said, "Boss, do you know?"
"Yeah," Lu Jianing asked nonchalantly, "How perfect do you think your plan is to be able to hide it from me for a lifetime?"
Jiang Yubai immediately explained: "The Junzhu incident was an accident. No one expected that after we caught the murderer, someone would come to the police station to report that he had clues about the mastermind of the 615 serial murder case."
"We never expected that even though we had so many people on the scene, a riot would break out... After we cleared the scene, we found that Jun Zhu was gone."

Lu Jianing: "Have you ever thought that this was a scam from the beginning to the end, and the murderer's real target is none other than us, the police?"
Jiang Yubai: "It's not like we haven't thought about it, but..."
"But you think it's okay as long as the person he's targeting isn't there. So, you also know that the murderer never targeted Shen Junzhu," Lu Jianing said calmly, "but Wu Jiajia."
It's me.
