Chapter 403: Latecomers Fight and Scramble
The school will help reimburse the hotel and air tickets, but no one will reimburse the food and drink, so they have to figure it out on their own.
Bai Xi came out with her, and she couldn't let him spend money.
Bai Xi waved her hand to reject Lin Ting's kindness. "It didn't cost much. Just think of it as me treating Sister Ting to a meal. It's not a big meal anyway, just some snacks."
Bai Xi opened all the takeout packages as he spoke. There were pork trotters, brown sugar jelly, cold rabbit, brown sugar rice cake, red oil dumplings, and Maoxuewang Bobo chicken. These were all local delicacies of Sichuan City. Bai Xi must have done some research.
Half of the table was filled with delicious food, many of which were still steaming. As the boxes were opened, the fragrance filled the room. Bai Xi handed a pair of chopsticks to Lin Ting.
Lin Ting took it easily. She was used to watching videos and hot news while eating. When she was about to pick up her phone to check the current hot news, she found that Si Chen's video was still online. Si Chen, Wu Dachuan and Director Song all came to the screen curiously.
Seeing the three people appear on the screen at the same time, Lin Ting felt embarrassed for a moment, "Seniors, why didn't you hang up?"
Si Chen turned his head and glanced at the two of them. Director Song and Wu Dachuan walked out of the meeting room almost at lightning speed, leaving only Si Chen and Lin Ting on the other end of the call.
Si Chen cleared his throat and said, "I heard a knock on your door and was worried about danger, so I didn't hang up."
"I'm fine here. My colleague who came with me ordered dinner and sent it over. Senior, if you have nothing else, I'll hang up first."
Lin Ting moved his body, and the camera of his mobile phone just captured half of Bai Xi's body.
The camera didn't capture his face, but from this half of his body it could be confirmed that the person having dinner with Lin Ting was a man. Si Chen's aura quickly cooled, and his hands hanging by his side silently clenched into fists, but his expression didn't change at all.
"Okay, you eat first. I'll treat you to a meal when you come back. Thank you for your help today." Si Chen smiled gently, but his heart was not calm at all. He even felt as if a big hand was squeezing his heart tightly, making it difficult for him to breathe.
"Goodbye, senior." Lin hung up the video after hearing this.
"Is it Captain Si?" Bai Xi asked casually.
Lin Ting nodded, "Yes, I have something to ask you."
"I saw that my mother's pig's trotters are very popular on the Internet before, and today I can finally eat it." Lin Ting leaned forward and smelled the pig's trotters in front of him, and a fragrance filled his nose.
In order to taste them all, Bai Xi specially ordered two servings.
"I don't know if the takeout is authentic, but the driver next to Deputy Section Chief Yang said that the pig trotter shop two blocks away from our hotel is very authentic. If you want to try it, you can go there after you finish your work. It's not too far away, but it's a little hard to find. I heard it's in a small alley."
“Many delicacies are hidden in the city.” Lin Ting took out a disposable spoon and tasted the soup. It tasted really good, with a strong smell of pig’s trotters.
After eating the pig's trotters, I picked up a piece of brown sugar rice cake.
Brown sugar glutinous rice cakes are sold in all hot pot restaurants, but the taste is different. The ones sold here taste better. The glutinous rice cakes sold in hot pot restaurants are semi-finished glutinous rice cakes wholesaled from processing factories, which only need a little processing.
The two of them ate heartlessly.
At the same time, the criminal police team fell into a low pressure.
After calming down, Si Chen came out of the conference room and ran into Wu Dachuan who had been waiting outside.
Si Chen said in a low voice, "Isn't the police force busy? Why are you still here?"
Wu Dachuan walked silently to Si Chen and said, “Of course the police force is busy, I am waiting here to provide care for the captain.
Captain, look at you. You obviously like Miss Lin, so much so that all the police officers in our criminal police team can see it, but you don’t confess your feelings to Miss Lin or pursue her. Do you still want to wait for Miss Lin to take the initiative?
Miss Lin has been hurt in love before, so it is difficult for her to take the initiative in relationships. If you don't take the initiative, someone else will, and then Miss Lin will be snatched away by someone else.
If Miss Lin is caught by someone else, you won't even have a place to cry, and we won't comfort you."
"Everyone knows that those who are close to water get the moon first. You work on cases with Miss Lin all day long, so your chances are no better than hers. Why don't you act quickly? When will you make your move?"
"Don't you know there's a saying these days? We're not afraid of latecomers taking over, we're afraid of latecomers fighting and taking over. Boss, you can't just focus on handling cases, you have to pay attention to the internet, too."
"Our police force has chosen Miss Lin as our sister-in-law. Captain, please work hard."
"The scumbag who deceived Miss Lin has been sentenced. This time, Miss Lin's maternal family also took action. The scumbag received the heaviest sentence and will not be released for a while. So much time has passed, Miss Lin may have gotten over her grief. Now is a good time to start a relationship. Captain, don't hesitate. We in the Criminal Police Team support you and are your strongest backing. If you have any questions, we can help you. Although we have no experience in love, three heads are better than Zhuge Liang."
After listening to Wu Dachuan mumbling for a long time, there was one thing he said that was indeed correct. If she liked him, she could really go after him. If she didn't, Tingting would really be abducted by someone else.
From the video just now, we can see that the person with Lin Ting is a boy, and the two are quite close.
Si Chen raised his hand and pinched his brow, looking at Wu Dachuan with a hint of impatience, "Are you done?"
Wu Dachuan didn't react to what Si Chen meant for a moment, and nodded obediently, "That's all."
"I think you are just too idle and have too little to do. Since you are so idle, why not organize the accumulated files after this case is solved?" Si Chen stuffed a document into Wu Dachuan's arms and walked out with big strides.
Wu Dachuan casually handed it to a colleague who was walking over, and hurriedly chased in the direction Si Chen left. "I'm not idle, I'm not idle at all. I was thinking of taking a good rest for two days after solving this case. I won't say anything more in the future."
"Where are we going now, Boss?"
"Let's go to the first crime scene." Si Chen said and got into the car.
Wu Dachuan quickly got into the passenger seat.
There must be a lot of important evidence left at the first crime scene.
Later, the items Lin Ting ordered were delivered to the hotel.
She unpacked some of the items and put them into her bag according to their categories.
She also bought a few toys for the red pandas and golden monkeys. These toys cannot be brought into the nature reserve without disinfection. She did not think so much when buying them, but discovered this serious problem after buying them.
Lin Ting first contacted the hotel and asked if he could use the hotel's disinfection cabinet to help with disinfection. If the hotel was unwilling, he could only contact the research institute or the Forestry Bureau and borrow their equipment for disinfection.
