Chapter 25 Officer Qiu's Troubles
"Officer Qiu!"
Li Zhi waved to Qiu Ling.
Qiu Ling never expected that she would run into these three boys again when she just stopped by for barbecue on her way home from get off work.
She walked over and asked, "The three of you are here too, what a coincidence."
"Sit down, Officer Qiu," Li Zhibai said. "You can come by yourself and share a table with us."
Qiu Ling was still a little hesitant.
Li Zhibai: "What can you eat by yourself? Come with us, there will be more people and more dishes to eat. It's my treat tonight."
Qiu Ling then sat down in the seat next to Li Zhibai.
"I won't treat you, I haven't thanked you for your help last time, I'll pay tonight," Qiu Ling said. "I'm a little tired today, I was planning to take some home to eat, but I didn't expect to run into you guys."
"You've worked hard." Li Zhi asked, "Can you drink alcohol?"
Qiu Ling said, "Okay."
Li Zhibai poured Qiu Ling a glass of beer.
"Officer Qiu, what happened to this on your face?" Lu Yanhe pointed to the bandage on Qiu Ling's cheek and asked.
Upon hearing this, Qiu Ling said, "Oh, I went to arrest someone today, and his wife scratched me."
"Damn, isn't this assaulting a police officer?" Li Zhibai immediately widened his eyes and asked.
Qiu Ling smiled and said, "I don't need to label someone as assaulting a police officer just because they scratched me. But are you even adults? Drinking like that?"
Lu Yanhe said, "I'm the youngest. The first night you met me was my eighteenth birthday."
Qiu Ling stared wide-eyed in surprise: "Oh, right, I've seen your ID card, but I don't remember you."
"Officer Qiu, are you very busy with work every day?" Lu Yanhe asked.
"Of course I'm busy," Qiu Ling nodded. "I have to take care of everything, big and small."
"So what kind of police force are you? Criminal investigator, traffic police, or something else?" Yan Liang asked as well.
"Are you checking household registrations?" Qiu Ling glared at them speechlessly.
"Are you stupid? They're going to arrest someone, of course they'll be the criminal police," Li Zhibai said.
Qiu Ling immediately retorted, "Who told you that only criminal police officers arrest people?"
Li Zhibai was slapped in the face.
However, after all that, Qiu Ling still didn't say what police unit she was in.
"Officer Qiu, do you live around here too?" Lu Yanhe asked.
Qiu Ling nodded: "It's just ahead, at Liwei Garden."
“Oh, isn’t that the one right across from our neighborhood?” Li Zhibai said. “We live in Hongfu.”
"You're quite wealthy," Qiu Ling immediately said. "Did your company rent it for you?"
"Yes, that's right. Because the security is good, the company rented a house for us to live in here," Li Zhibai explained. "Officer Qiu can come visit us next time you have time. Yan Liang is a great cook."
Yan Liang, who hadn't said much, stared blankly at Li Zhibai.
Hello?
Am I your cook or something?
Did you get my permission?
Although Yan Liang was internally seething with anger, he did not undermine Li Zhibai.
If he wasn't mistaken, Li Zhibai seemed to have a crush on Officer Qiu?
Yan Liang had this feeling the last time he met Officer Qiu.
Finally, the barbecue was served.
The sizzling aroma of butter made Lu Yanhe's stomach rumble with anticipation.
Lu Yanhe said, "I'm so hungry, let's eat and chat."
While they ate and chatted, Lu Yanhe showed no interest in actually "chatting".
He ate with great relish, his lips glistening with oil.
Li Zhibai kept asking Qiu Ling all sorts of questions.
"Officer Qiu, do you usually have any days off?"
"Officer Qiu, is your job dangerous?"
"Officer Qiu, have you been in contact with that Mr. Chen since your last blind date?"
...
Qiu Ling, unable to bear it any longer, lifted her eyelids and said, "Can you please shut your mouth? I'm not Tang Sanzang, and it's really annoying for you to keep nagging in my ear."
Li Zhibai shut his mouth.
Yan Liang and Lu Yanhe chuckled to themselves.
Li Zhibai immediately glared at them.
Lu Yanhe said in a serious tone, "Officer Qiu, it's his birthday today. Just bear with him. Apart from being a chatterbox, he's a pretty good person."
Qiu Ling was taken aback. "Huh? It's your birthday today?"
She looked at Li Zhibai with suspicion.
“Yes.” Li Zhibai raised his chin and glanced at Lu Yanhe, indicating that he had provided a good opportunity to help.
"Uh, okay." A slightly unnatural look flashed across Qiu Ling's face, as if she regretted interrupting Li Zhibai impatiently earlier. "Happy birthday to you."
Li Zhibai, on the contrary, became hesitant, lowered his usually arrogant eyebrows, scratched his head, and muttered a soft "thank you."
Qiu Ling: "I'm sorry, I was really tired today and in a bad mood, so I was a little impatient just now. I shouldn't have brought my work emotions with me."
“It’s alright, it’s alright,” Li Zhibai said immediately.
Lu Yanhe couldn't help but ask, "Is it related to the person you went to arrest today?"
“Yes.” Qiu Ling nodded. “Actually, that person is a real scumbag, but I don’t understand why such a scumbag’s wife still loves him so much and genuinely believes that we arrested the wrong person. Even though the evidence is clearly presented, she still firmly believes that we framed him and deliberately framed him.”
Li Zhibai and Yan Liang were both confused and didn't know what to say.
Qiu Ling looked at their bewildered faces, then smiled and said, "Why am I telling you this? Let's eat."
“It’s okay. Although we don’t understand it very well, if you want to talk to someone, you can talk to us.” Lu Yanhe said immediately. “Although I don’t know why either, a book I read before said that there are many people and things in this world that we cannot understand by the conventional principles and common sense we usually follow. No matter how incomprehensible something is, we should not doubt our own understanding. As long as we know that the principles and common sense we follow are correct, that’s enough.”
After he finished speaking, he grinned at Qiu Ling and said, "I don't know the details of what you're talking about, but I suddenly thought of this saying: If you can't understand it, don't try to understand it. As long as what you're doing is right, that's all that matters."
Qiu Ling looked at Lu Yanhe in surprise.
She never expected Lu Yanhe to say such a thing.
Moreover, it really did make her feel a little better.
Before stepping into the barbecue area, she had been struggling with this matter. Police officers aren't made of stone; they have their own emotions and desires. It's just that she usually kept it all inside, pondering and agonizing alone, rarely having the opportunity to communicate with others.
"I heard what you said, and it makes me feel a little better." Qiu Ling nodded. "Thank you."
Lu Yanhe asked, "What kind of drinks would you like? We didn't order any, so I'll just go get them."
The freezer was placed at the entrance of the barbecue restaurant.
Lu Yanhe got up to get a drink.
Although it's September, it's still a bit hot at night.
Most of the passersby outside were wearing short sleeves, except for one person who, for some reason, was wearing a long-sleeved jacket and a sun hat.
Isn't it hot? This thought popped into Lu Yanhe's mind.
There are always some people and things in this world that are incomprehensible to us.
