When I saw my boss, whom I hadn’t seen for many days, standing next to me, I immediately softened my stance, although I was originally prepared to fight back. You know, if I quarrel with a customer in front of my boss, the consequences will definitely be quite serious.
"Boss, things are not what you think."
I was just about to explain to my boss when he walked straight up to me with a dark face. I thought he was going to scold me, so I immediately lowered my head. However, he snatched the phone from my hand. I could vaguely hear noisy cursing coming from the phone, and then, an incredible scene appeared.
The boss picked up the phone, took a deep breath, and yelled at the other end of the phone: "Go ahead and complain if you have the guts. I'm the boss of the courier store. I can afford the fine. What's your ability to embarrass a courier under me? If you don't complain, you're my grandson. Let's wait and see, damn it!"
After saying that, the boss turned off my phone and handed it to me. This action left me confused.
"I heard everything just now. Next time you meet this kind of bastard, don't be polite to him. If you can reason with him, then reason with him. If you can't understand reason, then curse him to death. If there is any problem, I will take responsibility."
To be honest, I felt that the boss in front of me was so tall and majestic at the moment, and he was completely different from the wretched middle-aged man who loved playing mahjong before. The boss also patted my shoulder proudly and said, "Okay, don't cry because of being moved. Hurry up and finish the order. I'm taking my wife out for dinner today, so we'll close early."
"I'm not planning on crying, but you did look very handsome just now, boss."
As I was talking, the boss suddenly saw Lin Yingxue standing not far behind me with an expressionless face, and asked me quietly, "Your girlfriend?"
I smiled bitterly in my heart and said, "No, we are just ordinary friends."
"Stop pretending. Why are you pretending with me? You are really smart, boy. You managed to seduce such a pretty girl. Okay, when can you teach me a few tricks? I'll go out and try them too." The boss put his arm around my shoulder and went back to his previous look of a wretched middle-aged man, which made me temporarily forget the unpleasantness just now.
"Be careful not to let the boss lady know. You haven't been around for the past few days and she is very angry with you. Did you have a fight just now?"
The boss smiled complacently and put his arm around me as we walked into the store. The boss's wife was packing goods in the back. When she saw me and the boss coming in, she didn't seem angry at all. She smiled and said, "Xiao Wen is a little late today. Hurry up and clear the orders. I have something to do today, so I'll close early."
I saw that the boss's wife didn't seem angry at all, so I looked at the boss in confusion. The boss whispered proudly, "Although I haven't been here these few days, I was a big winner at the mahjong table and made a lot of money. Of course, your boss's wife won't blame me, hahahaha."
Looking at the smiles on the faces of the boss and the boss's wife, for some reason, I was very envious of them at this moment.
Although they often quarrel, they never hurt each other's feelings. No matter how angry the boss's wife is, as long as the boss coaxes her, she will be happy like a child. Although the boss is not busy with things in the store, he is always thinking about his wife with whom he has been in a relationship for nearly ten years. I think this is real life.
After quickly scanning today's receipt, I left the express shop and returned home. As expected, Lin Yingxue also followed me home. I still didn't ask. After returning home, I prepared dinner for two people and went to play League of Legends after eating.
Perhaps it was because I had been ignoring Lin Yingxue. At around seven o'clock, Lin Yingxue could no longer stay in the living room, so she walked into the bedroom and stood behind me, watching me play games. I ignored her and continued to work hard to get gold.
"I apologize for what happened today. I spoke a little harshly."
I guess Lin Yingxue didn’t understand League of Legends. After a long time, she found it boring and finally took the initiative to talk to me.
When she spoke, our crystal exploded on the spot, but I didn't feel so depressed. After blocking all my teammates, I turned around and said to Lin Yingxue calmly: "If you really want to apologize, then tell me your true identity. Why did you lie to me?"
Lin Yingxue seemed to know what I would say, and said expressionlessly: "I have to admit that you are indeed very smart, but I will not lose to you."
Her words confused me. Did I ever say I would compete with you? What do you mean I won't lose to you
Then, Lin Yingxue nodded and said, "Yes, I think you have guessed it. I am a police officer. I came to you naturally for a mission. I think the mission should be completed now."
"Mission? What mission? Since you are a police officer, why don't you use such a weird way to show up? Damn, you almost scared me to death these past few days." Lin Yingxue admitted it herself, and I finally breathed a sigh of relief in my heart, but I didn't understand, what mission did she have to stay by my side? Was she also an undercover investigator of this empty package case? And judging from Officer Yang's reaction before, it seemed that this Lin Yingxue in front of him was more extraordinary than him.
"I can't tell you the mission. Someone should explain it to you later. As for the way you mentioned about making an appearance, I'm sorry, that's my style. You just have to get used to it."
I just need to get used to it. It seems like she is going to live here for a long time. In the past, I would have loved to have such a beautiful girl living with me, but now I know she is a police officer, how could I dare to have any other thoughts.
"It doesn't matter. Even if you don't tell me, I can roughly guess what your mission is. If I'm not mistaken, you came undercover beside me to see if this case is related to me, right?"
I said with a smile, and a hint of surprise flashed in Lin Yingxue's eyes, and she said, "Continue."
Seeing her reaction, I thought I was right, so I continued, "I've always been confused. All three murders are obviously related to me. According to normal logic, I should be the biggest suspect, but Officer Yang didn't seem to doubt me. He just used the surveillance video to clear me of the crime. But in my opinion, even if the surveillance video can prove that I was not there, it can't prove that I didn't kill anyone."
"So it's obvious that either Officer Yang has decisive evidence to prove my innocence, or someone has been secretly investigating me. Now it seems that you should be the one who secretly investigated me, and you already understand that I am not the murderer of this case. Otherwise, you would not confess to me today, right?"
Lin Yingxue listened to me quietly and actually laughed softly. To be honest, she looked good even when she was cold. Now when she smiled, my heartbeat inexplicably quickened again.
"No wonder the higher-ups value you so much. It seems like it's a pity that you're just a courier. I always thought you were just an ordinary courier. It seems that you are quite thoughtful and your analysis is correct. Basically, there is nothing wrong with it. But you only guessed half right. I actually have another mission here."
"What other tasks are there?"
I was just about to ask when my cell phone suddenly rang. I took it out and saw that it was Bai Longfei calling. I quickly answered the phone.
"Xiao Wen, what are you doing? Come to my house."
I guess Bai Longfei either wants me to stay at his house or have a drink at his house, but the matter at hand has not been resolved yet, and I don’t have the mind to do so, so I said, “Brother Long, I have something to do here, let’s go next time.”
"What are you busy with? Don't you even give me face? Come over here quickly, no matter how big the matter is, put it aside for now, I guarantee there will be a surprise."
Since he said so, I did not have the nerve to refuse. After hanging up the phone, I prepared to go to Bai Longfei's house, but who knew that Lin Yingxue also planned to go with me.
"Why are you following me to get involved? I'm just doing some personal business, and you want to get involved?"
Lin Yingxue ignored my protest and said expressionlessly, "I'm going there to do some work. Do you dare to stop me?"
I could only swallow the resentment in my heart. After all, I couldn't take the blame for obstructing the police from doing their job.
The two of us went out and took a taxi and soon arrived at the community where Bai Longfei lived. As soon as I walked downstairs, I saw a police car parked downstairs. I looked at the license plate number and it turned out to be Officer Yang's police car.
"Officer Yang always parks his car in the wrong place. No wonder someone did something to him." I said helplessly to Lin Yingxue beside me, but in my heart I already understood why Bai Longfei asked me to come over.
I came to the door of Bai Longfei's house and knocked gently. Then I saw Bai Longfei open the door. He first glanced at Lin Yingxue beside me, then smiled at me meaningfully and said, "Come in. I'm not the one who came to see you today."
Lin Yingxue and I walked into the room. The whole room was filled with smoke. It looked like the people inside had smoked a lot. Officer Yang was sitting on the sofa on the left. He smiled and nodded at me, saying, "Come and sit down. We've been waiting for you to come over."
Officer Yang was only sitting on the side, while another stranger was sitting on the sofa in the middle. He was wearing a neat Zhongshan suit, about 40 or 50 years old, with a very burly figure and a circle of stubble, but he didn't look decadent at all. Just sitting there, I felt an invisible majesty. In my impression, only very rich or powerful people can have such momentum. But when the man saw me, he smiled at me kindly.
Just when I was wondering, Lin Yingxue beside me suddenly stopped and saluted the middle-aged man solemnly.
Before I could figure out what was going on, the middle-aged man said, "You must be Ji Wen, right? Let me introduce myself. My name is Bai Qi, the leader of the National Special Case Team and Bai Longfei's father."
