Chapter 1: A couple quarreled and murdered each other (1) Joining the Criminal Police Team...
Sang Luo squatted on the street and smoked all night. When the first ray of dawn light shone into her eyes, she finally stood up and stomped out the cigarette butt under her feet.
The weather in late autumn was a bit cold. Sang Luo wrapped his coat tightly. The street was covered with a thick layer of fallen leaves, and one could hear crisp crackling sounds when one stepped on them. The surrounding buildings were generally not high and a bit gray. This was the motherland in the 1990s.
Sang Luo herself had no idea how she got here. Ten hours ago, she was just an ordinary modern college student. She stayed up late at night to read novels, dozed off in class during the day, and rushed to line up in the cafeteria after class. Her life was extremely dull.
Her last memory was that she was on the way to the cafeteria. A classmate behind her pushed her hard, and she fell down. There happened to be a sharp stone on the ground, and the stone pierced her temple, and the scene in front of her eyes stopped there.
When she opened her eyes again, she had already come into this world.
After a night of thinking, Sang Luo has accepted her current situation. In simple terms, she has traveled through time. She has died in the world she originally lived in, but her soul somehow traveled to a girl with the same name and surname in the 1990s, allowing her to continue living in place of this girl.
Sang Luo had seen such routines in novels, but she never thought that it would happen to her one day. The difference from the novels was that after Sang Luo traveled through time, she did not encounter any system’s novice guide. She was just an ordinary person, and she had to figure everything out on her own.
Sang Luo inherited the memory of the original owner. The original owner's parents divorced and remarried. Most of her relatives lived in the countryside and no one took care of her. Fortunately, the original owner had strong independent ability. Not only did she take good care of herself, she also worked hard and was admitted to the People's Public Security University. After graduation, she was admitted to the criminal police position of Baiyun County Public Security Bureau with her own ability and got a stable job.
The day Sang Luo arrived happened to be the day before the original owner reported for work. Sang Luo thought about it all night and decided to make the best of it. He went to the unit to go through the employment procedures. No matter what era, keeping a good job is the most important thing.
She sorted out the documents needed for the report, then walked out the door with the folder. Her home was only a ten-minute walk from the county public security bureau. The weather was very good today, with a clear sky and sparrows chirping on the roadside. She held the folder in her hand, feeling a little excited.
In the original world, Sang Luo was a fan of mystery novels and was familiar with all kinds of reasoning puzzles. Her biggest wish was to become a criminal police one day and solve a big case personally, but her parents thought that accounting majors would have easy jobs, so they forced her to choose accounting when she was filling out her application form. Eventually, Sang Luo was admitted to the accounting major of a prestigious university, but she hated the accounting major from the bottom of her heart and didn't want to become an accountant after graduation. She simply immersed herself in the world of novels and spent her days in a daze.
Unexpectedly, by some strange coincidence, she would unexpectedly be able to engage in her favorite career. Sang Luo clenched her fist slightly and swore secretly in her heart that she must seize this opportunity and shine in her job!
The county public security bureau building has five floors with gray-white exterior walls, which is quite impressive among the surrounding buildings. Sang Luo explained her purpose to the guard on the first floor, who directed her to the office on the second floor to go through the employment procedures.
Sang Luo went upstairs with the documents. The corridor was very noisy. People were discussing cases in every room. Everyone here looked hurried and no one noticed her at all. She walked straight into the bureau office and asked the people inside to help her with the entry procedures.
Everyone in the office was busy with their own things. A middle-aged woman in a white turtleneck sweater noticed Sang Luo. She put down the work in her hands, walked up to Sang Luo, looked her over, then took the documents from her and began to help her with the entry procedures.
Another female colleague came up to look curiously: "Sister Ran, is this the new recruit of the Criminal Police Team this year? I heard that her test score is the highest in the county. Everyone thought she was a boy, but she turned out to be a girl! Isn't she afraid of corpses? If she sees the scene, don't be scared to tears..."
Sister Ran patted her colleague on the shoulder, signaling her to say less, then returned the folder to Sang Luo and gave her a warm smile:
"Comrade Sang Luo, welcome to join our big family. The entry procedures have been completed. Now I will take you to meet your future leader."
Sang Luo followed Sister Ran upstairs until they reached the fifth floor, where Sister Ran knocked on the door of the westernmost office.
"Come in!"
The voice inside sounded a little cold.
Sister Ran smiled and pushed open the door, then pushed Sang Luo in front of her and introduced her, "This is Liao Guantian, the captain of the Criminal Police Team 3. You can just call him Captain Liao. From now on, you will be under the command of Captain Liao. Captain Liao, this is Sang Luo, the new policewoman from the Criminal Police Team. She has been assigned to your team."
Sang Luo looked at the man in front of him. He was bald and stronger than most people. The buttons of his shirt were about to burst. He had deep dark circles around his eyes, and it was obvious that he often stayed up late. Judging from the yellow color on his nails, he was addicted to smoking.
Captain Liao didn't even raise his eyelids. He just squeezed out a muffled "hmm" from his throat, and then signaled the two of them that they could leave.
Sister Ran still smiled good-temperedly and led Sang Luo out of the office. Just as the door was about to close, a loud murmur came from the room:
"Why is it a woman? I wanted to hire a man..."
Sister Ran smiled awkwardly, pretending not to hear anything, and pushed open the door of the next room with Sang Luo. This would be her future office. The room was sunny, and there were already three people sitting there. They were talking about something excitedly, but when Sang Luo came, they all stopped.
Sister Ran pointed at the three people and introduced them to Sang Luo one by one: "This is Officer Ma Shi Tu. He is responsible for passing on his experience and knowledge in handling cases to you. He will be your master from now on. You can ask him if you have any questions."
Sang Luo looked in the direction of her finger. It was an older man with white hair, and even his eyebrows seemed to be white. He had a hunched back and a thin body, but his eyes were particularly bright, like a pair of eagle's eyes. Noticing Sang Luo's gaze, he nodded slightly at her.
Without waiting for Sister Ran to introduce them, the young man among the three rushed to the door enthusiastically and pulled Sang Luo into the house. In the sunshine, he smiled at Sang Luo, revealing his two fangs:
"Hey, newcomer, my name is Yuan Xiaohu. I came here a year earlier than you. We are both led by our master, so we are considered members of the same sect. You came the latest, so from now on you will be the junior sister of Team Three!"
Sang Luo looked at him. Yuan Xiaohu seemed a little silly, like a straightforward person. He was handsome, with a shaved head, dark skin, a strong body, and exceptionally well-developed muscles. It was obvious that he was the physical strength man in the team.
The remaining young woman also stepped forward and took the initiative to extend her hand to Sang Luo: "Hello, my name is Xie Ling'er, I joined the company in the same year as Yuan Xiaohu. Team 3 is currently short of people, and you are welcome to join us."
Sang Luo shook hands with her, and Xie Ling'er smiled, narrowing her crescent-shaped eyes. For some reason, this woman had a temperament that made people want to get close to her.
After the three of them introduced themselves, Sang Luo also generously said his name:
"Hello everyone, I am Sang Luo."
"It seems that you already know each other, so you can stay here and slowly get familiar with the environment. Comrade Sang Luo, I'll go down first."
Sister Ran left with peace of mind and closed the door for them.
Unlike the serious Captain Liao, Ma Shi Tu was much friendlier. He smiled at Sang Luo and pointed to a table full of miscellaneous items in the corner: "Sang Luo, just sit here."
Sang Luo nodded, and before she came closer, Yuan Xiaohu took the initiative to help her clean up the clutter on the table. Xie Ling'er also took the initiative to bring a basin of water and used a rag to help Sang Luo wipe the table and chairs.
In just a few minutes, a set of clean tables and chairs appeared in front of Sang Luo. Before she could say "thank you", Yuan Xiaohu grabbed her wrist and stuffed something hot into her hand.
Sang Luo looked down and saw that it was actually a boiled egg. She looked at Yuan Xiaohu in confusion. Yuan Xiaohu smiled proudly: "You haven't eaten yet? I can tell from your face that you didn't have breakfast. You can't skip breakfast. You will feel dizzy if you skip breakfast. In our line of work, health is the most important thing!"
As he spoke, Yuan Xiaohu burped, and Sang Luo then realized where the smell of pancakes in the air came from. Everyone laughed at the same time.
Yuan Xiaohu wanted to say something, but Xie Ling'er took the lead and pulled Sang Luo over, saying to her caringly: "Don't worry, the criminal police team takes better care of us girls. Girls usually do clerical work and are responsible for handling case-related documents. Sometimes they have to record statements. Basically, they don't have to go to the scene or face the corpse. Don't be afraid!"
Although Xie Ling'er's words were well-intentioned, they sounded a bit harsh to Sang Luo. The so-called "care" was also a restriction, which implied that women could not participate in front-line operations and could only do auxiliary work. Now that she had joined the police force, Sang Luo certainly would not be content to just do auxiliary work.
"What if I say I want to leave the scene?" Sang Luo asked boldly.
Yuan Xiaohu laughed loudly: "Junior sister, you should give up this idea! For example, in the case yesterday, a thief committed a crime and ran away. My master and I chased him all the way from the east to the west of the city. In the end, the thief wanted to jump into the river to escape, but I jumped into the river and pulled him out. Do you have the ability to do this?"
Sang Luo also knew that she couldn't compare to Yuan Xiaohu in terms of physical strength, but she said: "Solving a case depends not only on physical strength, but also on brainpower. Let me participate in the investigation of the case, and I can provide you with some ideas."
Noticing the determination in Sang Luo's eyes, Ma Shi Tu showed a hint of appreciation on his face. Yuan Xiaohu wanted to say something, but Ma Shi Tu stopped him and said to Sang Luo:
"Okay, I understand your idea. If there is a suitable case in the future, I will take you to the scene."
Sang Luo was very surprised. She had been prepared to be rejected, but she didn't expect Ma Shi Tu to be so democratic. She secretly developed a better impression of this master.
Yuan Xiaohu curled his lips and said, "You just haven't seen the scene yet. When you see those corpses and blood and so on, you will probably cry and shout about changing to a civilian job."
Sang Luo did not argue with him, but just said: "Just wait and see!"
Team Three did not receive any new cases today. Sang Luo spent the whole day looking through old cases that Team Three had handled before. She was a little disappointed at the end. It turned out that the cases that Team Three had handled before were all simple cases with clear suspects. Team Three was only responsible for arresting people.
Xie Ling'er explained to her that the original intention of establishing the third team was to allow the old members of the criminal police team to train the newcomers. The third team was established for only one year, when she and Yuan Xiaohu joined the team. Therefore, the third team was also called the "newcomer team". The police force did not expect this "newcomer team" to accomplish anything big, but just wanted them to familiarize themselves with the work as quickly as possible. Therefore, the cases assigned to the third team were small and easy to solve, while the difficult cases were handed over to the first and second teams.
Sang Luo was very disappointed. This way, she would never be able to get involved in those difficult big cases, and her reasoning ability would be of no use.
Ma Shi Tu saw all her micro-expressions. He took a sip of tea and said nothing.
At six o'clock in the afternoon, all the colleagues had gone off work, but Sang Luo was still staying in the archives room of the Public Security Bureau, where were stored the cases that the police force had solved over the years, many of which were difficult cases. Although Sang Luo could not access them, it was good to be able to learn from them.
Sang Luo was so engrossed in watching that before she knew it, it was nine o'clock in the evening. Her cell phone rang and she received a call from her master Ma Shi Tu:
"Hey, Sang Luo, where are you?"
Sang Luo immediately said: "Master, I'm at work!"
The sound of a car starting came from Ma Shi Tu's end: "Very good, come downstairs now, my car is downstairs at the office. There is a case tonight, I will take you to the scene."
"receive!"
Sang Luo was almost speechless with excitement. She hung up the phone and quickly ran down the stairs, her palms sweating with excitement - she finally got the first case in her life!
