Now thinking back, I don't know when Lin Yingxue started to have an inexplicable hostility towards me. I have never been able to figure out what I did to offend this lady. Was it because I said she was my girlfriend when I was pretending to be cool in front of my colleagues? If that was the case, why didn't she expose it on the spot? This woman is too petty.
I was too lazy to argue with her. Bai Qi on the side also coughed awkwardly and said to Lin Yingxue who looked unconvinced: "Xiao Lin, you and Lao Yang go and arrange some people to thoroughly monitor the area where the express company distributes the goods. Make sure to catch the real culprit on the spot tomorrow morning!"
Lin Yingxue was planning to say something, but Bai Qi's order had already come down, so she just gave me a strange look, saluted Bai Qi together with Officer Yang, and left Bai Longfei's house.
When I saw Lin Yingxue leave, I actually breathed a sigh of relief in my heart. This girl finally left me completely.
If you ask me, if a beauty like this keeps living in my house, something will probably happen between me sooner or later. Such a wonderful thing is what all losers like me dream of. But beauty is beauty, but she is a police officer by profession, and it seems that her rank is not low. If something really happens between us, I will die miserably.
After Lin Yingxue and Officer Yang left, I chatted with Bai Qi and Bai Longfei for a few more words. Bai Qi is very talkative and can discuss anything under the sun. He left a very good impression on me. Such an uncle who looks majestic on the outside but is warm on the inside also has a lovely side. No wonder Bai Longfei has such a personality.
Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye it was already eleven o'clock in the evening. Since Bai Qi had a mission tomorrow, he planned to spend the night at Bai Longfei's house. I said goodbye to Bai Qi and walked towards my home with Bai Longfei who insisted on seeing me off.
After going downstairs, Bai Longfei and I each lit a cigarette to smoke out the mosquitoes in the dark. I couldn't help but ask, "Brother Long, did you introduce me to Uncle Bai? How do I look like a policeman?"
Bai Longfei chuckled and said, "Don't be so self-deprecating. I realized you have potential in this area a long time ago, but you just didn't notice it. Although I'm too lazy to be a policeman, I hope to find more talents for my father. To be honest, your observation and reasoning abilities are the strongest I've ever seen. It's just that you have a wooden head and don't know how great your potential is."
"Oh? Then tell me, do you know me better than I know myself?"
"You still don't believe it? Let me give you an example. Remember when we first met, one day I asked you to go out for a drink, and we met some acquaintances, so we drank together. But not long after we drank, you found an excuse to leave with me, and told me to go home immediately?"
I thought about it carefully, and there was indeed such an incident. When the two of us were drinking, we suddenly met a group of Bai Longfei's friends, about six or seven people, so we all sat in a box to drink. Halfway through, I found that although these people were drinking and had smiles on their faces, their eyes never left Bai Longfei who was sitting next to me. There was always a person occupying the microphone and singing at the door of the box, but he was very careless, as if he was preventing the two of us from escaping. After a few minutes, one of them said he was going out to make a phone call, and he came back after three minutes. When he came back, he hugged Bai Longfei and never let go. His expression seemed a little nervous, as if he was waiting for something.
Seeing this, I roughly guessed that this group of people might be planning to harm Bai Longfei, so I pretended that I was drunk and wanted to go home, and asked Bai Longfei to go out with me to smoke a cigarette and get some fresh air. After we went out, I immediately let Bai Longfei go home. As for what happened afterwards, I don’t know. I originally thought that Bai Longfei didn’t know about this, but now it seems that I was overthinking.
Bai Longfei looked at me and smiled, "In fact, I only realized afterwards that the group of people seemed to be the subordinates of someone who had offended me before. Although they were brothers with me on weekdays, they would definitely not betray their boss for me. If I guessed correctly, you must have discovered that they were trying to send people to stop me that day, so you took the risk to find an excuse to let me go home, right?"
"Yes, that's right. Now that you know about it, why don't you thank me? What happened next? Now that you know what that group of people are up to, you won't cause trouble for them, right?"
Bai Longfei smiled mysteriously and said, "Have you seen them again?"
I widened my eyes and asked, "You killed them?"
Bai Longfei rolled his eyes at me helplessly, "How is that possible? I just asked someone to collect some evidence of their usual crimes and sent them to the police station for free food and lodging. You know my character, how can I let them be well after they offend me?"
"In fact, there are many, many such examples, so I am sure that your potential is huge. But it is also because of this incident that I completely regard you as a good brother. If it were someone else, even if they saw through their plan at the time, they would not dare to take the risk to take me away. But as an aside, it didn't matter if we didn't leave at the time. I know how many subordinates that person has. Even if they all came over, I could make them all lie down. Although I am not a policeman, my free fighting skills are so good that even Lin Yingxue from the special case team is no match for me."
"After all the effort, she said something that moved me, but why did it go wrong afterwards? Did I just worry about nothing that time? But then again, you said Lin Yingxue is very good at free fighting? But she looks so weak, I think I can knock her down with just one hand, right?"
Bai Longfei smiled maliciously and said, "Okay, you can try when you have time, but you'd better call 120 for an ambulance in advance, otherwise even gods won't be able to save you."
Bai Longfei didn't seem to be joking, and I began to feel fortunate that Lin Yingxue had left.
I chatted with Bai Longfei all the way and soon arrived home. Bai Longfei also returned home. It was getting late. Normally, I would have gone to bed at this time, but today I had no sleepiness at all. I kept thinking about the empty package case in my mind. I always felt like I seemed to have grasped something, but I couldn't remember it.
Nothing happened that night. The next morning, I woke up with dark circles under my eyes. I packed my things and went to the store, then drove to the head office to distribute the goods.
Since I knew what would happen today, I arrived quite early. Before the truck even arrived, I stood alone at the door of the head office smoking.
It was not yet eight o'clock. Usually at this time, there was basically no one else on the road except for some students passing by, but today it seemed a little lively here.
I saw a lot of breakfast stalls suddenly appearing near the entrance of the head office. There was even a young country boy selling newspapers, shouting out today's news with a smile on his face. There were even some passers-by of various identities gathered in front of the newspaper stand to watch.
Seeing this scene, I felt infinite contempt for Bai Qi and Officer Yang. Even if you were going to ambush, you wouldn't have to make such a big scene, right? If I were the murderer, I would definitely be suspicious when I saw this place suddenly become so lively.
I looked around and sure enough, among the group of people gathered around the newspaper stand, I found Officer Yang, who was wearing sunglasses and plain clothes. Officer Yang seemed to have noticed me and nodded slightly at me.
I was feeling bored and was about to take out my phone to read a novel when I suddenly saw a person wearing an apron and a mask, dressed like a middle-aged woman, in front of a pancake stall not far away. Upon closer inspection, I found that the person was Lin Yingxue.
I almost burst out laughing when I saw Lin Yingxue. I didn't expect that she would dress like this for disguise. If you don't look carefully, anyone would think she is just an aunt.
Lin Yingxue noticed that I was laughing secretly and glared at me fiercely, as if threatening me. I was so scared that I immediately turned my head away and stopped looking at her.
"Ji Wen, you came early today. What's going on? Why are there suddenly so many people here today?"
In the distance, Xiao Wang and Xiao Li from the West Street branch also drove over in a courier truck. They greeted me while looking at the group of people around them with interest.
"Who knows? It would be better if there were more people. It's always quiet when distributing the goods. There's a vendor selling pancakes over there. Have you two had any? I'll treat you."
When they heard that I wanted to treat them, Xiao Wang and Xiao Li immediately perked up, put down the delivery carts in their hands, and went with me to Lin Yingxue's pancake stall to choose. Lin Yingxue was obviously not satisfied with my approach, but she didn't dare to show it, and started to make pancakes clumsily.
"By the way, Ji Wen, where is your girlfriend? Why didn't I see her come today?" Xiao Wang asked while eating pancakes.
I gave Lin Yingxue a wicked smile and said, "She was too tired and went to bed too late last night. She is still sleeping now."
Xiao Wang and Xiao Li looked envious after hearing this. I didn’t go to see Lin Yingxue either. I guess she hates me so much now.
"I really envy you for having such a beautiful girlfriend. If I were you, I probably wouldn't even be able to get up today, hehe."
We ate and chatted, and soon, couriers from other branches arrived and trucks drove slowly towards us from a distance.
It's time to get down to business. Although the arrest has nothing to do with me, I still began to observe everyone carefully to see if I could find this person as soon as possible.
There were a total of fourteen couriers from all branches, including me, and I was not very familiar with most of them. After the truck arrived and the door opened, most of the couriers got into the truck and began to sort the packages one by one.
At this time, the policemen who were lying in ambush around all focused their attention on the truck, ready to take action at any time, but I found that there was a man sneaking towards the direction where the express truck was parked!
