Chapter 14 Chapter 14 Help! There is a strange vision in the fifth fold...
The next day.
A pair of ink-stained hands picked up several sheets of manuscript paper from the mimeograph machine, knocked them vertically on the table, and after making sure the corners were aligned, they were fed into the stapler mouth, clicked twice, and quickly pulled out.
"Okay, last one!"
Ji Yinhe finished the inspection with satisfaction and glanced at his watch.
There was still half an hour before the meeting, enough time for her to test the slide projector again.
"Xiao Ji, these pictures of yours are really interesting." Sister Gao, who was in charge of mimeographing, curiously flipped through the bound manuscript book. "No one in the bureau has ever made something like this."
"Captain Tang asked me to give a report at the case summary meeting. I was afraid the boss wouldn't understand, so I drew... uh, a flowchart for solving the case." Ji Yinhe wiped his bony fingers on a rag and asked nervously, "What do you think of these diagrams?"
As a retired police officer, Sister Gao took a serious look at it and smiled. "Very good, very thoughtful. I think Director Rao will like it. Keep it up, young comrade!"
Ji Yinhe breathed a sigh of relief, her eyes brightening, "Thank you, Sister Gao!"
She took out a bag of peanut nougat made by Lian Qiao from her pocket, handed it to Sister Gao with both hands to express her gratitude, then picked up the paper album, trotted upstairs to the conference room, and placed a copy of the mimeographed material on each seat.
After finishing the work, he went to the administrative office next door and borrowed the only slide projector in the office.
After debugging the equipment, many people have entered the conference room and taken their seats.
"I've seen you running around all morning. I don't know what you're so excited about." Che Zhiwen flipped through the flowchart book in front of him, frowning and commenting, "Did you draw this? It's even more fancy than the opening credits of 'Desire'. Young people should still keep their feet on the ground—"
"Wow! Xiaoji, you are so awesome!"
Xiao Wu, who had just entered the room, danced with joy and praised loudly. Tang Ci's eyes fell on the slides, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly, interrupting Che Zhiwen's unfinished words.
"Hehe! Thank you for the compliment!" Ji Yinhe put his hands on his hips and smiled.
Che Zhiwen observed everyone's expressions and snorted coldly.
Anyway, the leaders will definitely agree with his point of view and severely criticize this flashy and impractical style.
Unexpectedly, before the case report meeting was over, Ji Yinhe had just used her vivid narration and lively body performance to recreate the arrest and interrogation process for everyone, which caused everyone present to burst into laughter.
Director Rao even raised his hand and applauded.
"Yesterday I heard about Comrade Xiao Ji's brilliant performance in handling the case. He cleverly used food and deception, spoke both evidence and emotions, and tailored his interrogation methods to the suspect's characteristics. The results were excellent! Very creative!"
Despite being praised like this, Ji Yinhe's cheerful face showed no sign of embarrassment.
She bowed politely and said loudly, "Thank you, Director Rao!"
As Che Zhiwen was shocked, a burst of praise rang out in the conference room.
Two deputy directors asked, "Xiao Ji, did you make these mimeographed materials? They're so concise and clear, and easy to understand at a glance!"
"Yes." Ji Yinhe answered seriously, "I also designed the flowchart. Of course, I couldn't have drawn it without the whole team working hard to solve the case."
"It's clear that our police force really needs fresh blood like Xiao Ji!" Director Rao nodded and praised, "Comrades, the provincial department now attaches great importance to post-case summaries to prevent similar cases from happening again. Since we have such talents, we should give them more training opportunities and help them become successful!"
He tapped the table and changed the subject, "Xiao Ji, organize the materials and send them to the provincial department along with the flowchart! Sign your name and try to apply for the year-end award!"
Whispers were heard again in the conference room, and Tang Ci immediately gave her a thumbs up.
Ji Yinhe was a little flattered, but being looked at like that by everyone, she had no choice but to nod in agreement.
She waited until the meeting was over before she followed Director Rao out of the meeting room.
"You mean I should apply for the award?" Comrade Xiao Ji pointed at himself, a look of disbelief on his face, "But I'm still a trainee police officer!"
"What's the big deal? You were my secretary for a few days, so who else should I side with if not you?"
Director Rao glanced at him calmly, and Ji Yinhe slowly opened his eyes wide, revealing a surprised expression that said, "I didn't mean to take the back door."
"Of course, criminal investigation concerns the safety of the people. Our team has always relied on ability, and we promote those who are capable." Rao just stopped and patted the shoulder of the taller man across from him. "It's the same with you, Captain Tang. He performed so well on the second case he handled that year that I immediately made an exception and applied for a third-class individual merit for him. Otherwise, how could he have become captain at such a young age?"
It turned out that she was not an exception. Ji Yinhe breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank you very much."
Back in the office, she opened the window to let in some fresh air, then sat back down at her desk, took a big gulp of herbal tea, and energetically spread out her paper and pen.
Che Zhiwen said a few more sarcastic words, but Ji Yinhe pretended not to hear and devoted himself to his work.
The report for the case summary meeting was presented to the leadership of the court, so she had written it in a rather formal and conservative manner. However, the materials were being submitted to the provincial department under her personal name, so it was okay to include some of her personal thoughts in it... right? Thinking of this, Ji Yinhe flipped through the books on the desk. These were the public security textbooks and manuals she had found in a drawer on her first day on the team. One of them mentioned the popular foreign subject of profiling, which involved psychologically analyzing the murderer based on the case. She found it quite interesting. The unconventional methods she had come up with during this interrogation were also influenced by "profiling."
So she spent an entire afternoon writing a long and eloquent essay and stuffed it into a brown paper bag.
On the other side, Xiao Wu, who had nothing to do, turned on the radio and tuned it to listen to Hong Kong and Taiwan classics.
He suddenly screamed "Ah" and jumped onto the chair, scaring everyone in the office.
"What's going on?" Tang Ci rushed out from the inner room. "Is there a case?"
"Ah! No..." Xiao Wu turned up the volume of the radio, "I heard an exciting piece of news!"
Everyone was stunned, and only heard the female anchor's sonorous voice on the radio:
On July 25, Huazhou police successfully arrested Zhang Cheng, a gang responsible for over 50 crimes, killing 18 people and injuring 30. This is the largest violent gang busted in my country this year. Comrades from various Huazhou public security departments worked tirelessly and braved all difficulties to effectively curb crime in the process of solving the case!
"That's amazing!" Xiao Wu clapped his hands until they turned red. "If I can make the news once in my life, it would be worth it even if I die trying to catch someone!"
Thinking about the police officers from our sister units completing such important work on the criminal front line, everyone was overwhelmed with emotion and excited.
Even the taciturn Cheng Mo said, "I chose to be a criminal police officer just to catch the criminal with my own hands!"
"Come on! You're still young!" Che Zhiwen said gruffly. "Renhuazhou is a big city, and Jiangtan is a little-known place. Why would the news report on us? Besides, a criminal like this must be extremely vicious. I don't have any lofty ambitions, so I don't want to participate in the capture. Staying alive is the most precious thing!"
The office was quiet for a moment. Xiao Wu felt like he was being poured cold water on. His excited heart shattered into pieces, and he had to turn off the radio awkwardly.
At this moment, Ji Yinhe suddenly stood up.
Che Zhiwen subconsciously shrank back.
What? This sharp-tongued girl wants to refute?
Unexpectedly, Ji Yinhe said with a frown: "You are right!"
Che Zhiwen: “…”
"Being alive is the most important thing in this world. Everyone's life is extremely precious. On this point, Deputy Captain Che and I share the same view!"
Comrade Xiao Ji straightened his back and said, "Similarly, the lives of ordinary people are of vital importance, so we must maintain social stability. Whether the case is big or small, if we handle every case well, we will definitely be able to prevent such heinous criminals from appearing again!"
Che Zhiwen scratched his eyebrows, feeling that his original cowardice had been forced to change by her...
"Yeah, everyone, work hard. Even if we don't encounter a major case, we'll definitely be on the news!" Tang Ci concluded with a smile, "Everyone can relax for the next two days. Go home and spend time with your families. Bring your pagers... If there's a case, I'll contact you!"
"call--"
The office was filled with a joyful atmosphere again, and everyone was busy packing up their things.
Xiao Wu suddenly remembered the beef pot stickers and Liujiang dinner from the day before yesterday, so he pulled Ji Yinhe aside and asked, "Did you buy that, or did you make it at home?"
"My mom made it." Ji Yinhe was very proud. "Did you know Lianjie Snack Shop?"
"I know, I know!" Xiao Wu's eyes lit up, "Wait a minute—"
"Yes, Sister Lian is my mother."
Xiao Wu was surprised for a moment, and rubbed his hands slyly, "Then next time, can I ask you to bring..."
"Sure! Tell me what you want to eat in advance!" Ji Yinhe agreed immediately, and took out Ms. Lian's business card from her bag and generously stuffed one into each person's pocket. "Everyone is welcome to come to Sister Lian's snack bar anytime. It's my treat!"
The whole corridor could hear it, and the policemen from next door came over one after another, and the office was filled with laughter.
Comrade Xiao Ji is young and promising, and has won the favor of Director Rao and Captain Tang. Everyone is sure that they will patronize Xiao Ji's mother's business frequently in the future.
But who will pay for it is another matter.
Ji Yinhe didn't think so much at all, it was purely passionate.
After all, Ms. Lian's shop is always crowded from morning to night, so there is no need to ask her to come to the police station to solicit customers.
She excitedly distributed the business cards of Lianjie Snack Shop and jumped down the stairs in two steps.
——It’s been a long time since I got off work before the sun set!
Sparrows returning to their nests filled the power lines, the sky was a slowly flowing orange-pink color, and a red motorcycle flew out of the city bureau and stopped in front of Meiqingyuan, which was filled with the smell of fireworks.
Ji Yinhe held a bean popsicle in his mouth and staggered up the stairs.
I didn’t expect that both Mr. Ji and Ms. Lian were at home!
Ji Yinhe stood at the entrance and blinked at his parents who were watching TV on the sofa.
As a well-known freelancer in Jiangtan, Ms. Lian has irregular working hours, but it’s not even half past five yet, so why is Mr. Ji leaving early?
Seeing his daughter's confused expression, Comrade Ji Jianguo quickly jumped in front of the TV and swung his arms.
"Look! Your dad and I just got a big new color TV! A Panasonic 29-inch Sanchaowang TV, completely imported, priced at fifteen thousand! Just brought it back from the department store!"
Ever since Ji Yinhe could remember, Old Ji had always been very lucky. He won the lottery every few days, and his colleagues and neighbors were no longer surprised.
After a moment's pause, her eyes finally focused on the TV.
——The beautiful Junko Kodo jumped high and with a bolt from the blue, knocked her opponent to the ground!
"How is it? Does it look good?" Ji Jianguo asked with a smile.
“…So big!”
But in terms of clarity and brightness, the small screen of the Fold seems to be better.
After hearing her comments, Ji Jianguo turned around and looked at the TV. "It's not that big actually. We'll win... and buy a bigger one in the future, hahahaha!"
Ji Yinhe scratched his forehead and went into the room to change clothes in confusion.
Lian Qiao also came in.
"Yinhe, how do you feel about using your hand...communication device these days?"
Ji Yinhe thought for a moment, "Hit people, turn on the lights, other functions haven't been figured out yet."
"I've seen you've been busy these past few days, so I haven't had time to explain in detail... This communicator needs to be charged. I've modified the circuitry at home and put the charging cable by your bed. Remember to plug it in every night."
"I'll remember it!"
Lian Qiao took out a piece of paper covered with densely written small words from his pocket.
"Here's the manual for the communicator. Take some time to study it... When using it, it's best to stay away from your colleagues."
"..." Ji Yinhe puffed out his cheeks, "Okay."
She didn't dare tell her mother that Captain Tang and Xiao Wu had already seen this former Soviet instrument.
"There's more." Lian Qiao coughed guiltily, glanced at her husband who was fiddling with the TV in the living room, and said in a lower voice:
"That private folder contains several videos, novels, comics, and other things. Don't open it in front of your dad! Even though you're an adult, it's best not to look at it!"
"?" Ji Yinhe was confused. "Then just delete it."
Lian Qiao immediately refused, "No! That's my baby! It's my motivation to survive in this world!"
“…”
That night, after Officer Xiao Ji closed the door and studied the five folding functions one by one in the instruction manual, he couldn't help but click on one of the videos out of curiosity.
Ten minutes later, the two people on the screen moved closer and closer, their lips touching, making a strange "popping" sound.
Her cheeks suddenly turned red, her eyes widened, and she buried her head in the quilt.
“Ah ...
