Xu Man didn't know whether to laugh or cry. What was there to be jealous about? Everyone has a first love. It was just that she and Qin Shen's first love happened to be each other. Although she was lucky, there was no need to react so strongly, right?
However, she also knew that this was her childhood friend's usual behavior and he didn't really want to break up with her. As they had almost finished chatting, she sent a crying and laughing emoji and exited the chat interface.
After exiting the chat interface, the message list appears. Xu Man took a look and found that the latest message displayed in the column with Qin Shen’s avatar was the one she sent three hours ago: "Are you busy?" Why don’t you reply my message? 】, a subtle feeling arose in my heart.
...Oh no, Tian Si's words just now have affected her a little. She shouldn't think like that. It's just that she didn't reply to the message for a few hours. It's normal.
He must have been busy and didn't see it, or he saw it but didn't have time to reply. It is impossible that he saw it but deliberately didn't reply or ignored me.
…
Qin Shen was indeed busy, but he was not busy with work, but busy with being scolded.
#The Most Handsome Detective in the Country# and #Mingzhou Criminal Investigation Captain# were so popular that naturally not only the people in the detachment would notice and pay attention to them. So when Qin Shen went to a noodle restaurant near his home to order something and sit down, preparing to eat a bowl of noodles to solve the lunch problem, he received a call from Zhou Ying and was quickly summoned to the Municipal Bureau. He entered his office and stood in front of him to be scolded.
"What's wrong with you?" The police chief's voice was filled with helplessness and exhaustion. "You can reflect on yourself at home and make the headlines? Qin Shen, isn't your life a little too colorful?"
"What news headlines?" Qin Shen was a little confused at first. Could it be that something went wrong with the case in the scenic area? "Commander, I don't understand what you are talking about."
Seeing that he really didn't seem to know the inside story and wasn't playing dumb, Zhou Ying tapped the screen of his phone on the table, motioning him to take out his phone: "Search online to see what's hot today."
Qin Shen took out his cell phone, opened it and looked at the internet. He was stunned: "What is this?"
"I was just about to ask you that!" Zhou Ying sneered. "Not long ago, I received a report saying that the official Mingzhou Public Security Bureau account we opened online received a large number of comments. When I checked it out, I saw that all of them were posted with your photo, calling you the most handsome detective. The comrade who managed the account was so scared that he quickly reported it, thinking that something big had happened. It turned out to be a big deal."
Qin Shen lowered his head and quickly browsed through several popular blog posts. He raised his head and said, "Director, I really don't know about this matter. I don't understand how it has developed into this state. Really."
Zhou Ying snorted coldly: "You didn't do anything? If you didn't do anything, how come someone not only took your photo, but also knew your public security identity and commented that you are the most handsome criminal policeman in the country?"
Qin Shen was speechless.
As early as after seeing the most popular nine-grid blog post, he knew the cause of this incident. He must have been heard by someone when he revealed his police identity and asked the young tourist about the location of the crime yesterday. Some curious person took a photo and uploaded it to the Internet. He even followed all the way to the crime scene and took photos of his actions while investigating the scene.
It’s a good thing that the popular comment that recognized his identity only said that he was the captain of the Mingzhou Criminal Investigation Detachment, but didn’t directly say his name. Otherwise, the second popular comment would probably have to include his name.
But it makes no difference whether he brings it or not. Someone has already dug out his ID photo and name from the official website of the Minnesota Public Security Bureau and started a new round of forwarding.
I really don't understand these people. Is this some exciting event? Why is it going viral?
Qin Shen frowned, turned off his phone, stood at attention again, looked at Zhou Ying and said, "I'm sorry, Chief. It was my negligence. When I was asking questions to the public yesterday, I stated my identity as a police officer, which caused several people to take pictures of me. At the time, I thought it was a trivial matter and didn't pay much attention to it. I didn't expect it to cause such a situation."
Zhou Ying closed his eyes, exhaled slowly, and calmed down: "If you just became popular, it doesn't matter. This is not a negative news. If it is guided well, it can also promote our Mingzhou Public Security Bureau. But Xiao Qin, did you forget one thing? You have been temporarily suspended from your position as the captain of the criminal police and stayed at home to reflect and wait for further notice. How did you interfere in the case?"
Qin Shen explained, "I happened to be traveling to the scenic spot yesterday, and ran into that incident, so I went to take a look at the situation—"
Zhou Ying waved his hand and interrupted him. "You are free to go wherever you want. Whether you are traveling or working part-time, it is none of my business. You can go anywhere you want. But you cannot interfere in the case. Don't you understand the meaning of the word 'suspended'? Just because I didn't take back your police officer ID, you think you can continue to perform your duties as a police officer?"
"I didn't." Qin Shen said, "But it rained so hard yesterday. By the time the team arrived, there would have been very little trace left of the scene. Are you going to just sit there and watch?"
Zhou Ying: "Who told you to hit someone in the first place? Look, do you regret it now?"
Qin Shen frowned slightly, and his tone of answer became a little stiff: "No, these are two different things."
This kid is still so stubborn! Zhou Ying cursed in his heart. "Yes, I admit that your actions were well-intentioned, and you were indeed helping the detachment investigate the case. If it were any other time, I would have turned a blind eye and no one would have held on to this. But the problem now is that someone filmed you and posted it online, which has attracted a lot of attention. This makes it difficult to deal with."
Qin Shen raised his eyebrows and subconsciously showed a look of "What do you mean?" Although he quickly returned to his original expression, Zhou Ying still caught it. He shook his head in his heart, thinking that he was still too young and impetuous.
"Director, I don't quite understand what you mean." He said, "You just said that although my information and photos are spreading wildly on the Internet, they are not negative news. If we guide them well, we can also do some publicity for the bureau. Why is it so difficult to deal with it?"
The other party snorted and laughed: "Yes, outsiders don't know, they just think you are performing official duties, and they may even praise you for your dedication. But the people in the bureau will know at a glance that you are still exercising police duties while suspended at home, which is another violation of discipline. If you report it, it will be confirmed. Can you afford it?"
Qin Shen originally wanted to reply that he had reported it, and he had a clear conscience no matter whether it was a disciplinary action or a demerit. But when he saw the police chief looking at him leisurely behind his desk, he suddenly understood something.
"Director, regarding the incident of me beating someone last time, has there been no official public criticism?"
Zhou Ying was surprised at first, then he smiled helplessly: "You are only good at this kind of things. That's right, your criticism notice has not been issued yet, and if nothing unexpected happens, there will be no more in the future."
Qin Shen understood: "So I am not suspended from work, and yesterday's investigation was not a violation of discipline?"
The atmosphere eased, Zhou Ying laughed and scolded: "You've already said it, what else can I say? You're lucky, the news online is about you investigating a case in the rain, which has made people's impression of you soar. If it was about you violating discipline and beating someone, I wonder what you would do."
As he spoke, he opened the drawer of his office and took out the handcuffs and gun that Qin Shen had handed over to him earlier: "Take these two things back, and go back to work as usual in the detachment starting tomorrow. Even if the beating incident is over, you don't have to write a self-criticism, because it will all be lies anyway."
Having guessed the ending, Qin Shen's expression did not change. He just showed a faint smile. He took the gun and handcuffs and put them back in his pocket, and answered "yes".
"But don't be too complacent. There are two more things I need to remind you of." Zhou Ying pointed at him, "First, the criminal suspect who was beaten by you and hospitalized is still receiving treatment in the hospital, but he is almost recovered and will soon be able to move again. It is definitely impossible for you to go over and apologize, and I don't expect you to do that. I just hope you can control your temper and stop rushing to the hospital to beat people up."
"As long as he doesn't appear in front of me again." Qin Shen's face inevitably darkened when he mentioned Luo Junli.
"You wish!" Zhou Ying snorted coldly, "He got beaten up by you. Even if the follow-up investigation continues in your team, it won't be done by you. You can't even see him if you want to."
"That's great. I don't want to see him either."
Zhou Ying wisely stopped arguing with him: "That's the first thing. The second thing is that because you've become so popular online, the case at Jiumiao Mountain Scenic Area yesterday has also received a lot of attention. You should work hard to solve the case when you return. That will count as positive publicity. Don't let the case go unsolved and embarrass the Mingzhou Public Security Bureau along with you."
Qin Shen smiled slightly: "I'm not the director of the Public Security Bureau, how can I represent the Mingzhou Public Security Bureau?"
Zhou Ying knew he was joking, and cursed him with a smile: "Nonsense, if you hadn't become popular on the Internet, would this case have become so popular? It was originally an ordinary case, but you brought it to the public's attention. What do you think I want? You are the most handsome criminal policeman in the country, but I think you are the most troublesome criminal policeman in the country. Whoever is your superior will be unlucky!"
Qin Shen lowered his head and smiled, but did not answer.
The other party continued to complain: "Last time, just helping you deal with the beating gave me a headache for several days. This time is even worse. I didn't even have time to eat lunch, and I have to clean up your mess again. Qin Shen, do you think I owed you something in my previous life?"
"I haven't eaten yet. I just sat down at the noodle shop and ordered a bowl of noodles when you called me to the bureau."
Zhou Ying chuckled: "Is this still my fault? Okay, okay, since both of us haven't eaten yet, I'll treat you to a meal."
Qin Shen didn't bother to be polite with him and just said "Thank you, Director" and agreed to the meal. Although Zhou Ying is his leader, above the Public Security Bureau Chief is the Public Security Department Chief, who is also his father's apprentice. He has no need to please him, and naturally he does not need to be as fearful and timid as most people when facing their leaders. Compared with leaders and subordinates, the two are more like friends.
In this way, he was invited by Zhou Ying to have lunch. It was almost two o'clock in the afternoon when they finished eating. Zhou Ying returned to the Municipal Bureau, while he sat in the car and thought for a while, then drove back to the detachment.
Although Zhou Ying asked him to go to work normally starting tomorrow, since the team has a case and the case needs to be solved as soon as possible, of course he should go back to the team as early as possible so that he can see Xu Man earlier.
However, although he wanted to see his lover, the case was still his top priority during work. After returning to the detachment, he went to find Chen Kangquan to understand the situation and did not even open his phone to check it during the entire journey.
Therefore, when Xu Man heard her colleagues talking about "Captain Qin is back" and the message she sent to Qin Shen three hours ago had not received a reply from the other party, one can imagine how she felt.
