Chapter 66 Chapter 66 Eating, woooooo, auntie is so scary...
The price of making decisions without thinking is that she is forced to wear a hat to avoid being seen by others on her obviously red forehead. She doesn't want to be asked if she hit her head against the wall or got beaten.
Fortunately, their team's aesthetic taste is still very good. Wearing the beige hat he gave her, coupled with her tender little face that became even whiter due to the cold outside, she looked like a freshly baked porcelain doll as soon as she walked in, making people take a second look at her.
The eyes of several boys who were dragged to dinner by their season team lit up one after another. One young man even couldn't take his eyes off the girl, he loved her so much.
"Hahaha, it seems our Jiang Jiang's title of police beauty is here to stay. Look at her little face, so pretty."
Chen Da is carefree and praises whenever he wants.
Deng Xingwang nodded repeatedly. "That's right, that's right. Several people from other teams even asked me for Jiang Jiang's pager number, but I told them Jiang Jiang didn't have a pager."
"Good fellow, Jiang Jiang doesn't have a pager, but she does have a cell phone. Xingwang, you're quite the thief."
"Hey, anyway, they were just being careless with their questions, and I didn't lie, so it's none of my business."
Deng Xingwang spoke righteously.
Speaking of this, he was really curious, so he simply pulled Qiu Jiang to sit next to him and acted as a matchmaker for her.
"Jiang Jiang, are you interested in a relationship? If so, I'd like to pick one for you. There are actually a few colleagues whose families are well-off and who are also good-looking."
"And we have a lot of them in our team. As long as you like one of them, I will definitely get her for you." Deng Xingwang promised, patting his chest.
Suddenly, everyone's eyes were focused on Qiu Jiang, and they all looked eager, as if as long as she opened her mouth, they could introduce her to a bunch of handsome guys.
Qiu Jiang was frightened to death, and kept waving her hands in fear, "Please don't, I don't have any ideas, don't make trouble for me."
Seeing how scared she was, it didn't seem fake, and they were a little disappointed.
"Alas, it seems that I can't be the matchmaker. But that's OK. Jiang Jiang is not very old and is so beautiful. Of course, I have to choose my partner carefully. After all, we can still drink at the wedding."
After Chen Da said this, everyone suddenly laughed.
"Who says it isn't? Anyway, we will definitely meet our future brother-in-law."
In this era, people in the police force basically work in the same unit until retirement unless there is a major transfer. What they said is true.
"Hehehe, then I'll wait and see which lucky guy will get our beautiful Jiang Jiang home."
"Huh? I didn't say I was looking for it. Stop kidding me."
"What are you kidding? You should start a family first and then build a career. Now that you have built your career, it's time to start planning for a family."
"That's right, but Jiang Jiang doesn't need to worry. After all, everyone says Jiang Jiang is amazing. She's the detective and the most beautiful girl in Team 5. It won't take her long to find a good and caring partner."
"What kind of scene? She should be called the beauty of our police station. Look at all the women in our police station. Which one is as pretty as our Jiang Jiang?"
Qiu Jiang's face turned red from their teasing, and it looked like a cooked shrimp.
When Ji Mingcheng walked into the private room, he saw her blushing cheeks and raised his eyebrows slightly.
"What? Are you bullying little girls while I'm away?"
As soon as Ji Mingcheng sat down and started talking, the others couldn't help laughing.
"Captain Ji, what do you mean by bullying? We're just showing off our revolutionary camaraderie and trying to introduce Jiang Jiang to someone."
He paused in pouring the water, his eyes fell on her red cheeks, and asked in a normal tone,
"Looking for a date?"
Qiu Jiang looked depressed, "Captain Ji, do I look that eager to get married?"
She curled her lips, wondering if she had given them some wrong signals. God knew that all she wanted now was to solve the case again and again so that she could get a formal job as soon as possible. Secondly, she wanted to open the store quickly and make more money to cure her brother's leg. Of course, it would be even better if she could move into a new house.
What is an object?
Can I eat it?
Or can I beat her up when she's depressed?
Putting aside the fact that she has no hobby of eating or beating people, just talking about the time and energy, she has neither the time nor the idea of finding a partner, and she even thinks that the very creature of a partner is very strange.
Especially after watching the daily interactions of some of their teammates who were in love, she really felt bored.
How can you want to be together all day long? Don't you have your own things to do?
At such a young age, she is full of desire to work hard and strive for promotion and salary increase as soon as possible, and she doesn't think there is anything worth talking about in a partner.
Her expression of confusion was so obvious that others could understand her thoughts without her having to say anything.
"She's not smart, she's not smart. Captain Ji, please try to persuade Jiang Jiang. This girl doesn't even know what the benefits of having a partner are."
Ji Mingcheng poured water into the cup and shook it with a normal expression, then raised an eyebrow and asked, "Is there something wrong with what she said?"
"ah?"
Deng Xingwang and the others had question marks on their faces.
"You're so young, and all you're thinking about is romance. Have you finished submitting the supplemental evidence in the serial killer case? Have you finished filing the case of the female murder in the rental apartment? And regarding the Zimao Building case, aren't you afraid that Director Hou and his men will come back and ask you about the specific circumstances at the scene? If you stumble, you won't be pissed off? Also, the shooting competition is next week. Have you been to the practice room to train recently? And it's the end of the year, and all the assessments are coming up. If you're just busy dating and dating, aren't you afraid that our team will rank last in the assessments in our first year?"
Ji Mingcheng's simple rhetorical questions completely stunned everyone present. It was like being asked questions by a teacher in class at a police academy.
They actually forgot that Captain Ji, who was very easy-going towards them, was actually their real leader.
A sense of fear and guilt at being dominated by their leaders spread throughout their bodies, making them extremely regretful for having dared to say such nonsense in front of them.
If they had known earlier, they should have shut up.
Of course, only young people like Deng Xingwang were scared. Old comrades like Chen Da and Guo Kai knew as soon as they heard that their team was just trying to scare these little guys and had no intention of discussing this topic.
Yes, they seemed to have vaguely heard Captain Ji occasionally calling to reject his family's blind dates. Maybe the topic they were talking about really hit Captain Ji.
Chen Da and the others felt a little guilty, and they and Guo Kai changed the subject at the same time.
"Zhu Zihong's case has already been transferred to the provincial capital. Lao Guo and I went there this time and heard that the case is expected to go to trial before the end of the year. There's no doubt that they'll be shot one by one. It's a pity that we won't be able to see it with our own eyes."
After all, they are not police officers from the provincial capital. With so many things happening in Anxi, it is impossible for them to stay in the provincial capital every day.
Guo Kai also felt a little regretful when talking about this. "After all, the case was solved here, but because it involved so many people, it has caused a sensation across the country. This time, the provincial high court should make the verdict. In the end, Anxi suffered the loss of not being the provincial capital."
Even though Guo Kai is from the provincial capital, he has worked in Anxi for so many years and still has feelings for Anxi. This serial murder case is not something you can encounter casually. Now that it has been transferred to the provincial capital, they in Anxi may not encounter such a case again.
Of course, it’s a good thing that such cases won’t happen again, but it’s really sad to feel this way.
Ji Mingcheng, however, didn't care much about this. Instead, he tried to enlighten them, "No matter where the verdict is announced, it won't change the fact that we solved this case. No matter how many years pass, as long as anyone wants to know about this case, they can only turn to our Anxi Criminal Police Team. Moreover, through this case, everyone will clearly understand the strength of our Anxi Criminal Police Team. This is already remarkable. After all, not every criminal police officer has the opportunity to handle and solve such a heinous case."
"Besides, our team has just been established. This is just the beginning. We will solve more cases in the future, and your names will appear in more files, so there is no need to rush."
Chen Da and Guo Kai's brows relaxed upon hearing this, especially Chen Da, who said cheerfully, "That's right, that's true. That's really comforting to hear. Come on, Captain Ji, let's toast you."
Ji Mingcheng raised his glass and clinked it with his. Qiu Jiang and the others also clinked their glasses very considerately. Because of the overwhelming sense of collective honor, the atmosphere in the box instantly warmed up and was no longer as nervous as before.
Speaking of the recent case, Qiu Jiang actually had something else on her mind. "Captain Ji, is there any progress in the Niu Yong case?"
Their criminal police are only responsible for catching criminals. After all, court trials are not their area of responsibility. Besides, they don’t have many channels for information and are not very clear about the specific circumstances of this case.
During this period, Xie Youlian and her daughter came to see them with gifts. Although the case had happened some time ago, it still left an indelible shadow on them.
Even though Xie Youlian was smiling sometimes, her eyes were occasionally empty and dazed. She could feel the uneasiness and fear in her heart, and she knew that as long as the case was not finally settled and Niu Yong was not sentenced to death, she and her daughter would always be in fear and would not be able to return to normal life.
Although she didn't think Niu Yong could escape legal punishment for committing two murders, it would be better if it could be done faster.
Instead of having no news like now, which makes people inexplicably worried.
Deng Xingwang and the others were also curious and asked one after another, "Captain Ji, what's the current status of this case? I heard that Niu Yong had been sentenced to death, but why hasn't there been any movement yet?"
As soon as he said this, without Ji Mingcheng having to say anything, Chen Da scowled at him with a dark face, "Don't tell anyone from now on that I brought you up. It's embarrassing."
Deng Xingwang was treated harshly for no reason and felt very pitiful.
Wang Li couldn't bear to read any further and explained to him expressionlessly, "According to my country's Criminal Procedure Law, the death penalty is divided into immediate execution and suspended execution. As a prefecture-level city, Anxi can pronounce the death penalty in the first instance, but this needs to be reported to the Provincial High Court, which will review the case and then submit it to the Supreme Court for approval. So, only our city has pronounced the death penalty, but the High Court and the Supreme Court have not yet given their final approval, so we are not qualified to carry out the death penalty directly."
"It's okay if Jiang Jiang doesn't understand this process right after joining the company, but Xingwang, you need to improve your basics."
"Huh? Is it that complicated? But I've never encountered a death row inmate before."
I thought I could live in peace for a year, but who would have thought that in just this one month I would see so many lawless criminals, each of whom deserves the death penalty.
Deng Xingwang felt a little wronged.
"Hahaha, Brother Wang is just kidding. Actually, we don't really know either."
"Ah?" Deng Xingwang felt even more aggrieved. "Brother Wang, even you are fooling me."
"Although it's not our responsibility, it's a bit outrageous that you have no idea about it. I'm just giving you some lessons." Wang Li teased him seriously.
"It's over, it's over, there's no love left." Deng Xingwang collapsed on the chair with despair.
"Hahaha--"
The whole box burst into laughter.
Deng Xingwang covered his chest and sighed, "Forget it, forget it. I'm quite happy to entertain everyone by myself."
"You little brat, you're out of breath even though I told you you're fat." Chen Da said unhappily.
Deng Xingwang curled his lips, "Brother Chen, you have no right to say that. Who told you to trick me first?"
Chen Da glared, "Who told you to be so easy to fool?"
Deng Xingwang felt that the world was even darker. Who on earth still remembered that he was a poor little guy who had been wrongly accused yesterday?
Well, seeing everyone laughing so hard, I knew they really had forgotten.
At this moment, Qiu Jiang asked curiously, "So as long as the Supreme Court's approval notice arrives, Niu Yong will be shot?"
As expected, he still has to rely on his partner to help him divert attention.
Deng Xingwang looked at Qiu Jiang with great gratitude.
Qiu Jiang felt uneasy when he looked at her, but fortunately Guo Kai spoke in time to divert her attention.
"That's right. If Xie Youlian isn't afraid, you can take her to see the execution scene."
"Can you still see?" She widened her eyes.
Not only her, Ji Mingcheng was also very curious.
After all, Hong Kong officially abolished the death penalty a few years ago. The most serious criminal law is life imprisonment, not to mention watching the execution of the death penalty.
Moreover, he had not been to the mainland many times before. Although he knew that the death penalty had not been abolished here, he did not know that it was still possible to watch.
"Yes, but the distance is a bit far, so it will test your eyesight."
When Guo Kai said this, Qiu Jiang's eyes lit up.
"I think Sister Xie must be eager to go and see it, so I'll tell her the good news when I get back."
"You can tell her, and she will probably get what she wants next week." Ji Mingcheng suddenly spoke, successfully attracting everyone's attention.
Yes, at that time, their team seemed to have already contacted the procuratorate, and asked them to go through the process quickly. If they were willing to help, their team would definitely know the result first.
Qiu Jiang became even more excited, "This news is too good to be true."
Ji Mingcheng smiled and said, "I don't know if it's good or not, but if you don't start eating, this dish will definitely not taste any better."
Qiu Jiang was two seats away from him. He waved his arm and put a piece of fresh white-eye fish on her plate.
"Try it, the fish here is very fresh."
"Thank you, Team Ji."
She loved eating fish, not to mention that she had just heard such good news. She was in an excited state and didn't pay any attention to it at all, nor did she feel strange. She lowered her head and started eating the fish.
"tasty."
She took a bite and couldn't wait to pick it up and eat it herself.
Guo Kai and Wang Li had a slightly subtle look in their eyes, but who knew that at this time their team mate gave a piece of food to each of their neighbors equally.
"Don't worry, use the serving chopsticks and try it to see how it tastes."
Guo Kai and the others also started eating in unison.
"Not bad, not bad."
“This fish is delicious.”
"It's fresh and delicious. This is what it means to enjoy life."
They finally enjoyed the food happily. Everyone ate with relish, almost swallowing their tongues.
After they had enough to eat and drink, they all clutched their stomachs and said, "I can't eat any more. I really can't eat any more."
"The restaurant Team Ji picked is really delicious. I can't bear to put down my chopsticks after eating this."
"If you like it, then do your best and I'll bring you here next time." Ji Mingcheng said generously.
The eyes of several young people suddenly lit up.
"Don't worry, Captain Ji. Even for these delicious foods, we have to work hard."
"That's right." Qiu Jiang also said with a smile, holding her belly. She almost loved such a generous leader in her heart.
Who would be willing to not work hard when meeting such a leader?
We must work harder.
She silently encouraged herself in her heart.
Unexpectedly, Ji Mingcheng suddenly looked at her and asked, "How is your store doing?"
Qiu Jiang had a lot to say about this. She immediately stood up straight with her eyes shining.
"Our shop is called Qiuji Baozi Shop. It's right in the middle of the road on the right side of the intersection of Thirteenth Street and Chengzhongcun. The renovations are now complete, and we'll be opening the day after tomorrow. Everyone is welcome to come and eat buns. Just mention my name and you can get a 40% discount."
Qiu Jiang is in high spirits and advertising her own store.
"Don't worry, based on your brother's skills, your brother Chen will have to support you."
"Thank you, Brother Chen."
"Add me one." Wang Li also raised her hand slightly, obviously liking the buns made by her brother.
To be more precise, she liked the soup her brother cooked. She didn't expect that Brother Wang, who had a tough image, actually loved drinking soup. There were a few times when she brought soup to share with everyone, while everyone else happily ate buns, but he just drank the soup without saying a word. Once, he even drank the soup of their team's fourth division, which made their team's fourth division look resentful.
Thinking of this, Qiu Jiang smiled and promised him, "Then I'll ask my brother to make you some soup."
Wang Li's eyes lit up and he gave her a thumbs up, obviously very satisfied with her arrangement.
"Hey, hey, hey, it's not just Brother Wang, I want to go too."
"I'm going too."
Several of them signed up.
Even if it wasn't for food, they had to support their little sister, not to mention that they missed her brother's cooking skills very much.
Unfortunately, their family has not been cooking this week because the shop is being renovated. They haven't eaten for a week and now they really miss it.
So they all made an appointment with her to visit her bun shop the day after tomorrow to show their support.
Therefore, after the banquet, Qiu Jiang immediately went home to tell her family the good news.
Qiu Hengan and his wife were really surprised.
"Then we have to prepare well. It's better to prepare some sugar, peanuts, melon seeds, and side dishes as a thank you for their patronage during this period." Shi Yuexiu said as he walked excitedly, "Jiang Jiang, can you also help sister-in-law think about anything else we need to prepare?"
"I think there are no more."
This was her first time opening a store, and she really didn't know what else she needed to prepare, but there was one thing.
Qiu Jiang scurried up behind Qiu Heng'an, pinched his shoulders, and said coquettishly, "Brother, please help me make more soup. Our team members, including Brother Wang, will love it."
What Qiu Heng'an couldn't stand the most was her acting like a spoiled child. How could he disagree? What's more, Captain Ji and other colleagues in their team took such good care of her. Even if she didn't say anything, he would prepare some food himself.
It's just hard to figure out what to prepare.
She did give him a direction.
"Anything else?"
Qiu Jiang rested her chin on her finger and thought carefully for a while. Suddenly, an idea came to her mind, "I want something to drink."
Qiu Hengan was surprised, "You can't drink on your day off?"
"Hehe, it must be Auntie who wants to drink." The two little ones immediately looked over from where they were doing their homework and revealed Auntie's little thoughts without hesitation.
Qiu Jiang put her hands on her hips and said, "I even bought you some fried chicken, and you actually betrayed me."
Qiu Simiao and Qiu Sien suddenly covered their mouths with their hands, their eyes rolling around, thinking about how to coax her.
Fortunately, they were very experienced, so they ran over and hugged her waist and acted coquettishly.
“Aunt, I was wrong.”
“Aunt, please forgive us.”
Qiu Jiang pretended to be angry and said, "I can forgive you, but you have to tell me that you want to drink."
The two siblings, who naturally didn't like sweet food or drinks, were dumbfounded.
Wow, this punishment is so terrible.
But in order to make their aunt forgive them, the two little ones pitifully told their parents that they just wanted to drink it, and it had nothing to do with their aunt, and asked them not to misunderstand.
"Brother, sister-in-law, look, it's Simiao and the others who want to drink."
Qiu Jiang readily put the blame on her nephew and niece without trying to hide it at all.
Aunt is so cruel that Qiu Simiao and Qiu Sien feel like the sky is falling.
Woo woo woo.
Qiu Hengan and Shi Yuexiu were almost laughing to death, and the key was that they really cooperated with her.
"You two wanted to drink, and Mommy wouldn't deny you any. But you actually let your aunt speak for you, you two little rascals."
Oh, no.
It's really not what they want to drink.
Dear mother, have you forgotten that we, your beloved ones, don’t like drinks?
Qiu Hengan also nodded. "Since you've helped the family these past few days, Dad bought some for you. What would you like to drink?"
"Juice and soda." Qiu Jiang raised her hand first to answer, then looked at the two little kids and winked at them.
The two little ones nodded with tears in their eyes.
"Yes, what Auntie said is what we want to drink."
Qiu Jiang smiled with her eyes curved, and was really looking forward to the arrival of Sunday.
Compared with her obvious good mood, Qiu Simiao and the others were about to turn into whimpering monsters.
Woo woo woo, next time they won’t talk too much.
My aunt is so scary.
