Chapter 243 Don’t Care About Their Life or Death
Huai City is very far away, and it takes three hours by train to get there, which takes a whole day to go there and back, not to mention how to persuade Comrade Zhou.
"This matter is not under the jurisdiction of the military. I cannot intervene directly. I have to follow the procedures."
Huo Jingchen explained to Xia Mi, "The process is very complicated. I know someone at the Public Security Bureau. I can ask him to go with you to check out the situation."
Xia Mi nodded to show her understanding.
"While we still have time, I'll take you to find him. We can't finish the story in a short while."
Huo Jingchen didn't expect that the time he and his wife spent watching a movie would be occupied by other things.
public security bureau.
Huo Jingchen was wearing a training uniform today, and people who knew him could immediately recognize him as a soldier.
He took Xia Mi by the hand and walked to the hall. "Hello, comrade. I'd like to ask if Captain Liu is here?"
The public security officer looked at Huo Jingchen, glanced at him inconspicuously, recognized the training uniform on him, and immediately stood up.
"Yes, I'll go in and call him now."
Less than two minutes after the person went in, another person appeared on the stairs at the corner. He should be the one Huo Jingchen was looking for, Liu Xian.
When Liu Xian saw Huo Jingchen, he was stunned at first, then his gaze shifted to Xia Mi beside him.
"Captain Huo, how come you have time to come to us today?" Liu Xian raised the corners of his lips, walked quickly to Huo Jingchen, stretched out his hand to shake hands and say hello.
Huo Jingchen returned the handshake and introduced Xia Mi to Liu Xian, "This is my love, Xia Mi."
"Hello, Captain Liu. I've heard of you from Jingchen."
Just on the way here, Huo Jingchen mentioned that Liu Xian was transferred from the army to Qingcheng, and the two had a good relationship before.
"The Daimyo wouldn't dare. He just needs to stop talking about my past dark history."
Liu Xian's smile was friendly, his voice was loud and full of laughter, "Then I will call you sister-in-law."
Liu Xian was a straightforward person, so he asked directly, "What's the matter with you bringing your sister-in-law to the Public Security Bureau?"
"It's not convenient to talk here. Find a place where we can talk." Huo Jingchen reminded.
From the moment he came in, he had noticed many gazes constantly scanning them.
Liu Xian suddenly realized, "Look at me, let's go to my office."
Liu Xian took Xia Mi and Huo Jingchen upstairs and explained on the stairs, "You haven't come to see me since I changed my job. I thought something big had happened and I didn't treat you well enough. Don't think too much, sister-in-law."
Xia Mi shook her head to indicate no.
Liu Xian led his people through the outer office area and into his office, and before closing the door, he notified someone to bring tea.
The office is very simple, just a big table with a lot of things piled on it in a messy manner, making the already small office seem even more cramped.
Liu Xian found that there was no chair in his office, so he turned around and went out to bring in two chairs.
"Please sit down first. Tea will be served soon."
The two sat down and were about to speak when there was a knock on the door and the person who brought tea came.
Xia Mi thought it was a good idea, better than being interrupted in the middle of her speech.
The tea is served and the door is closed, it’s time to talk about the purpose of our visit today.
Xia Mi took the initiative to mention, "Captain Liu, we are here today to discuss the theft at Boss Shen's repair shop."
When this case was mentioned, Liu Xian's hand holding the teacup froze in the air for a moment, then quickly returned to normal.
"This case is now a priority for our bureau, and a special task force has been set up to investigate."
There is no smoke without fire. The two of them can't just sit around and check on the progress of the case.
Huo Jingchen is not such an idle person.
Xia Mi repeated to Liu Xian what she had said to Shen Zhihui today, but this time she added what she heard in the cinema.
By the time the matter was explained clearly, forty minutes had passed.
Liu Xian asked, "What is your relationship with Shen Zhihui? Why are you so concerned about his affairs?"
Just now, Xia Mi claimed to be Chen Zhihui's friend, but which friend could be so meticulous?
Xia Mi took into consideration that she had been investigated before, and the Public Security Bureau must have records on her. As long as Liu Xian checked, he could easily find out her relationship with Shen Zhihui.
Just as she was hesitating, Huo Jingchen started talking about her relationship with Shen Zhihui.
"Boss Shen's shop was invested by my wife. She has a lot to do with his success today."
Liu Xian's eyes flickered slightly, and he digested it quickly, understanding it as a business partnership.
No wonder he cares so much about this matter, it turns out that his interests are at stake.
But according to Huo Jingchen's family, there is no need for him to go into the sea business. How could he agree to let his wife go into the sea business with him?
Of course, this is not what he should care about. Now that the breakthrough has been brought to him, this is a good opportunity to make a contribution. If he doesn't seize it and still worries about others going into the sea, then he is really stupid.
"I see."
Liu Xian thought about it seriously for a while and said, "Let's do this. The case is not a small one to begin with, and now it involves the state-owned factory. If it is exposed too early, it may cause panic and have a bad impact on the factory.
I'll go and take a look privately tomorrow. If the situation is true, I will bring the person back immediately and give an explanation to you and the people from Qingcheng who went to the sea as soon as possible."
Xia Mi asked, "Captain Liu, can Shen Zhihui and I go with you?"
"Of course, I don't disbelieve your idea, but I have something else to discuss with the driver."
"This..." Liu Xian hesitated. Not to mention that Xia Mi had little to do with the case on the surface, and secondly, there was no precedent of bringing the public into their public security investigation.
"Do you remember the human traffickers your bureau arrested at the train station last year?"
Faced with Huo Jingchen's nonsensical question, Liu Xian didn't understand, but he nodded. "Remember, this group of people were pirates before. Didn't you come here too? In the end, the one who didn't make the most contribution was a female comrade."
Huo Jingchen said nothing and looked at Xia Mi.
As they had been partners before, Liu Xian and he had a tacit understanding.
His eyes gradually turned into shock. He looked at Xia Mi and said in disbelief, "Are you saying that your sister-in-law is that lesbian?"
Huo Jingchen nodded. "Even though she's pregnant, she's actually in good health. She's also very restless. She's full of ideas every day, and she immediately does whatever comes to mind."
“…”
Why did Xia Mi feel that these words sounded like they were playing tricks on her?
Liu Xian was surprised again and looked at Xia Mi's belly. Because she was thin and wore loose clothes, people who didn't know the truth couldn't tell that Xia Mi was pregnant.
"Don't worry, Captain Liu. I know my body very well. A three-hour drive isn't far. I walk six kilometers every day on the island, so my physical fitness is pretty good."
Liu Xian pondered for a while and quickly gave an answer.
"Okay, we'll set off for Huai City tomorrow morning." Liu Xian agreed to Xia Mi.
After seeing that the other person agreed, Huo Jingchen was still worried and asked Liu Xian to take better care of him, which in turn was ridiculed by Liu Xian.
"I don't know who was praising his wife like an iron man just now, and now he knows she's pregnant?"
Xia Mi pursed her lips and tried to suppress her smile. She lowered her head slightly, afraid of being discovered by Huo Jingchen.
After leaving the Public Security Bureau, Huo Jingchen sighed deliberately, "If my parents knew about this, the transfer order back to the capital would be issued tomorrow, and the car to pick us up would arrive in Qingcheng in no time."
"Then don't tell mom." Xia Mi took Huo Jingchen's arm, shook it, and acted coquettishly to him.
Huo Jingchen shook his head helplessly.
It was already evening when we left the Public Security Bureau.
Xia Mi and Huo Jingchen took a detour and prepared to look for Shen Zhihui.
"How do you know he has time to go with you?" Huo Jingchen thought about how Shen Zhihui hadn't finished his meal at noon today, and thought about the urgent matters that needed to be dealt with, so he left in a hurry.
"He's definitely busy, but things have to be prioritized. The losses in this case are not small, and it's related to Cheng Quan. He will definitely put aside everything he's doing to resolve it."
Huo Jingchen snorted, "You know him quite well."
Xia Mi raised the corners of her lips in a beautiful arc, her eyes curved, and she smiled to dispel the jealousy in the man's heart.
"If I didn't know him, how could I dare to invest such a large sum of money in him?"
Huo Jingchen thought so too.
Just thinking that his wife would not be around in the future, but Shen Zhihui would still be able to see her often, Huo Jingchen became jealous of everyone who could stay by her side.
So today he especially cherished every minute and every second with her.
On the way to Chen Zhihui's shop, you must pass by Cheng Quan's shop.
Cheng Quan stood at the door of the store, ready to leave after the employees finished counting.
He caught a glimpse of a pair of figures out of the corner of his eye. The man was tall and straight, and the woman was delicate and pretty. It was hard not to notice.
Cheng Quan narrowed his eyes and stared at the two of them. He felt that the woman's back was very familiar. Soon, he recognized that the woman was Xia Mi.
So she has a man?
No wonder this woman denied her relationship with Shen Zhihui every time he asked her.
"Comrade, long time no see."
Cheng Quan called out to Xia Mi and walked up to the two of them, pretending to be very familiar with her.
"What is this?" Huo Jingchen asked Xia Mi.
Before anyone got close, Xia Mi lowered her voice and quickly explained, "This is Cheng Quan."
"Comrade, is this your husband?" Cheng Quan asked knowingly, ignoring the hands that the two were holding.
"Is there something wrong with your friend's eyes?" Huo Jingchen tilted his head and asked Xia Mi.
Xia Mi choked. She didn't expect Huo Jingchen to start from scratch and embarrass Cheng Quan with just one sentence.
Cheng Quan's face almost collapsed, but he still forced a smile and said, "Comrade, I'm sorry, I thought your wife was only dating Boss Shen. Today, seeing your unfamiliar face, I felt a little strange, and then I realized that she actually has a family."
I have seen female green tea girls, but never male green tea girls. Xia Mi was enlightened.
"My wife's standards are not so low that she would like him." Huo Jingchen said in a proud tone.
He didn't hear a word Cheng Quan said.
On the other hand, the person on the other side felt like something was stuck in his throat, and finally forced a smile and explained, "That's true."
"Let's go." Xia Mi rolled her eyes silently in her heart.
This person is so stupid and bad. She even dared to bring Huo Jingchen to Shen Zhihui's store. Wouldn't Huo Jingchen know about her relationship with Shen Zhihui?
On the contrary, Cheng Quan couldn't figure out what her relationship with Shen Zhihui was.
Cheng Quan was humiliated in front of the two men and returned to the store with his face flushed with anger.
"You were tricked by this kind of person?" Huo Jingchen's tone was full of disgust.
Xia Mi nodded, "As the saying goes, the brave die of overeating, and the timid die of starvation. People like him are brave but have no brains."
"Then who are you?"
Facing Huo Jingchen's question, Xia Mi pondered for a while, "I use the brain, and Chen Zhihui uses the courage."
After hearing her answer, Huo Jingchen was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
Shen Zhihui has been living in the store recently and is not worried about running away.
When Xia Mi arrived at the store, Shen Zhihui had just removed the back cover of the TV. When he heard footsteps, he didn't even raise his head.
"Whatever you need repaired, it's 30-50 cents for a small one, or 1 yuan for a big one."
"Give me ten bucks, can you help me fix that guy next door?"
When Shen Zhihui heard a familiar voice, he looked up and saw that it was Huo Jingchen and Xia Mi, and his tone was surprised.
"Why are you here again?"
"From the tone, it seems like you don't welcome us?" Huo Jingchen said to Xia Mi, pretending to pull people out.
Shen Zhihui quickly put down what he was doing and tried to persuade the two to stay.
"That's not what I meant. I'm just curious why you came to my shop at nearly evening. Is there something you want to talk about?"
No one goes to the temple unless he has something to do.
Shen Zhihui wiped his hands, asked the two to sit down, turned around and poured hot water for them.
It was getting late, so Xia Mi cut to the chase and directly invited Shen Zhihui to go to Huai City tomorrow. She would tell him the details when they were on the train tomorrow.
"Okay, then I'll postpone this matter." Shen Zhihui did not hesitate.
Xia Mi and Huo Jingchen did not stay for long and went home while it was still light.
On the way home, the two came across a noodle shop and filled their stomachs before going home.
At night, Xia Mi looked at the lights on and couldn't help but sigh, "It's good not to have to turn off the power. I don't have to get up in the middle of the night to use a flashlight."
Before, when I was on the island, there were power outages every few days, and the power had to be turned off at night, which was inconvenient in every way.
"After a while, the power outages in the family compound will no longer be cut off."
Huo Jingchen was used to that kind of life and didn't think there was anything wrong with it, but after Xia Mi appeared, he felt inconvenient.
Especially now that I'm pregnant, I have to get up in the middle of the night. I'm already groggy from sleep, and if the flashlight runs out of battery, it's easy to bump into things.
"That's good." Xia Mi rubbed against the man's arms, feeling reluctant to part. She asked, "Will you miss me in the future?"
Huo Jingchen hesitated for a while and wanted to say no, because he was angry that Xia Mi had so decisively abandoned him and left him alone on the island.
He was worried that the person was really angry, so he swallowed his angry words.
"Yes, I'll come twice a week to supervise you."
Otherwise, he was really worried that Xia Mi would act like a desperate woman.
Although it was called supervision, Xia Mi knew that this was just a man's pretense, and she felt sweet in her heart.
The next day, Huo Jingchen had to take the earliest boat back to the island, and Xia Mi also had to get up early to catch the train.
Before parting, Xia Mi stood on tiptoe and kissed the man's cheek, "Be careful when you go back."
Huo Jingchen lowered his eyes, staring at the woman's lips with a burning gaze. A desire that had not been awakened for a long time was easily awakened by just a kiss.
"Okay, you too. Leave all the dirty work to Liu Xian and Shen Zhihui. When you encounter danger, hide behind them. Don't worry about their life or death."
Liu Xian and Shen Zhihui went out early in the morning, and as soon as they met again, they sneezed one after another.
