In a blink of an eye, nearly a month has passed since I came to the capital. The capital is worthy of being called the heart of the motherland. Its prosperity is something I have never felt in my hometown of Sichuan and Ningxia Province. The sudden acceleration and stabilization of the pace of life made it difficult for me to adapt to it when I first arrived here. Later I found that even if I stayed longer, I still would not be able to adapt. After all, I am used to being lazy and still prefer to live in small cities with a slow pace of life.
I don't know whether it was for secrecy or for some other reason, but the headquarters of the special case team was not what I imagined. I imagined it should be a building of at least the same level as the Binhe Police Station, but when I arrived at the real special case team, I found that from the outside, it didn't look like a special case team department at all. There wasn't even a plaque. Overall, it looked more like a century-old illegal building.
Although this special case team looks a bit shabby from the outside, the facilities inside are still very complete, including air conditioning, wireless network, fitness equipment, offices, dormitories, conference rooms, and everything else. The food is also very good. There is just one thing that I really can't stand, which is that I have to get up at eight o'clock every morning to gather in the office. I am used to sleeping in, and it took me a long time to adjust my biological clock.
I was actually still okay, but Bai Longfei wasn't so easy to adjust. Basically, he slept late every day during the first two weeks at work and was often scolded by Bai Qi.
Our office is on the second floor of this building, in a large room connected to three rooms. Everyone is equipped with a desk and a computer, and the computer has a good internet speed. When we are bored, we can play games with Bai Longfei and Pan An to pass the time.
This special case team is exactly as I guessed. In fact, there are not that many people. What Bai Qi said before was nonsense that his people were busy solving cases all over the country. Apart from the people I have met, there are only two or three people left whom I don’t know. These people are all the members of the special case team.
Of course, there is one person who must be mentioned among these people, and that is Lin Yingxue, whom I haven’t seen for a long time since we last separated.
Lin Yingxue hasn't changed at all. She is still as pure and beautiful as before, and her appearance is still cold. But the only thing that changed with my arrival this time is Lin Yingxue's attitude towards me.
Perhaps it was because Bai Qi had already told everyone what happened after Lin Yingxue left. Although I didn't take the initiative to talk to her when I came here, she still came to find me.
"I'm sorry, I spoke a little too harshly last time. I've also heard about your experience. I hope you can get out of this as soon as possible. After all, we are colleagues now and there will be a lot of areas for us to cooperate in the future."
Familiar voice, familiar tone, but it can no longer stir my heart. I smiled calmly, reached out and shook hands with Lin Yingxue gently, saying: "It's okay, you are right, I am indeed a coward. Many times if I can be more firm in my attitude, I can avoid a lot of unnecessary things. In short, I still hope that we can cooperate happily in the future and eradicate this cancer of God Organization as soon as possible."
In fact, I also found that since I shook hands with Lin Yingxue last time, she didn't seem to be as cold to me as before. Whenever I needed help, she would take the initiative to help me. Although it was just some necessary help between colleagues, I was still very grateful in my heart to this girl who was cold on the outside but warm on the inside.
Maybe it was because the New Year was approaching, or maybe it was because Bai Qi didn't tell me what case had happened, but in any case, I didn't receive any cases during the month I was in the special case team. The whole world seemed to have quieted down. Even the most powerful God Organization had lost contact. But I didn't have time to relax. After all, I had no professional training, and I was a layman in many things.
For a month, under Bai Qi's supervision, Bai Longfei and I learned some common sense of criminal investigation and some criminal psychology. I was very interested in some of the methods and common sense of criminal investigation. Many things that I had never heard of before made this subject interesting. As for the other subject, criminal psychology, for some reason I felt a little resistant to it deep down in my heart.
I always feel that the so-called criminal psychology explained by Bai Qi to me is too rigid. It feels like the characters he describes are soulless and everything he does is just mechanical speculation. I used to be a courier and have come into contact with all kinds of weird characters. It is very easy for psychology and thoughts to change in an instant. If you blindly analyze the criminals according to criminal psychology, it is very easy to deviate. You must know that a small deviation may affect the time of solving the case. So I didn't listen to this criminal psychology at all. I still think it is faster to speculate the psychological activities of the criminals according to my own ideas.
Although one month is not a long time, during this month, I found that I have changed from the inside out. It is not only because I have learned a lot of valuable knowledge during this period of time, nor is it because I have changed imperceptibly by staying in such an environment. I think the real reason is that my mind has changed, and the source of this change is because of her departure.
During this month, Bai Qi used various means to investigate Zhang Qishan's whereabouts, but she seemed to have disappeared from the face of the earth. There was no trace of her anywhere in the country. My cell phone was also on 24 hours a day, waiting for Zhang Qishan to call me and tell me that she was fine. But a month has passed, and my phone still hasn't rang with the ringtone that I set specifically for Zhang Qishan.
However, as time goes by, the sadness in my heart has gradually eased. I still hope that she can come back to me, but I will not continue to be depressed because of this.
Because Li Hua was seriously injured last time, he was arranged to be treated in a famous hospital in the imperial capital. He has now woken up, but he still suffers from frequent headaches. I went to see him once with Bai Qi. Now he can only lie in bed every day, with a lot of plaster and gauze wrapped on his legs and body. He looks like a mummy. According to the doctor, he needs to rest for at least two or three months before he can resume normal walking.
Compared to him, I am much more fortunate. The plaster on my left arm has been removed long ago, and my arm has regained the ability to move freely. Although it still cannot withstand excessive force, it is at least healed. There is only a hideous bullet hole left. I estimate that in another month at most, my left arm will be completely restored to its previous state.
When Bai Qi brought Li Hua and I to meet in his ward, Li Hua once again brought up the matter of the traitor in the special case team. Bai Qi and I both took this very seriously. I usually observe everyone in the special case team, trying to find out who the traitor is. Unfortunately, the traitor is hiding too deeply, and Qiongqi has also disappeared during this period, without revealing any clues at all.
While I was observing the other people in the special case team, I was also keeping an eye on another person. This person was Yuan Hao, who joined the special case team at the same time as Bai Longfei and I.
This person has already made his motives clear, and he is also an airborne player. Bai Qi can't do anything to him at all. He can only leave him to observe secretly. While he is away, he instructs all the members of the special case team to pay attention to Yuan Hao's every move. Once any evidence appears, tell Bai Qi immediately. As long as there is evidence, Bai Qi can take this opportunity to expel him from the special case team.
Unfortunately, Yuan Hao is an actor of the best actor level. He always wears a harmless shy smile, does things flawlessly, and is very polite to others. Although everyone in the special case team knows that this is a dangerous person, as time goes by, everyone seems to have forgotten about it and gets along well with Yuan Hao. I can't do anything about Yuan Hao for the time being, so I can only wait quietly for the opportunity to completely eradicate this thorn in my side!
This has been my life in the special case team for the past month. Without the previous thrills, I feel a little uncomfortable. But fortunately, life here is leisurely, I don’t have to spend money on food and sleep, and the salary is also very satisfactory, so I have no intention of leaving.
After waking up early that morning, I went to the office to report to Bai Qi. Bai Qi informed everyone that New Year's Eve was in four days, so everyone could go home today and come back to work after the New Year.
Upon hearing the news, Ding Yang and Pan An were so excited that they wanted to dance on their desks. Eager to return home, they immediately disappeared from the office. They were estimated to have left the special case team and set out on their way home. Others also left one after another, and soon the office became deserted.
Bai Qi was about to come over and tell me something, but suddenly his cell phone rang, so he went out to answer it. I was bored, so I picked up the files of the special case team's cases solved over the years and began to read them with relish. Of course, what I mainly read were the detailed files of the case solved by Qiongqi that year. I thought I should be able to find some characteristics of Qiongqi from these files.
I was watching the movie with great interest when my phone suddenly rang. I took it out and saw that it was my mother calling. I answered the phone immediately and smiled, "Mom, why are you calling so early?"
"Why don't you call us to let us know you're safe? Can't we call and ask about you? The New Year is almost here, when will you be back?" Listening to my mother's voice on the other end of the phone, no matter what environment I am in or what mood I am in, I will feel warm from the bottom of my heart.
I guessed that this was what my mother was asking about, so I said truthfully, "Today is my day off, and I think I'll be home in two days. You'd better make some delicious food for me then."
"That's no problem. Your dad and I have already prepared for you. But didn't you say you had a girlfriend? When you come back, remember to bring her here so your dad and I can check her out for you. If you don't bring her back, then don't come back."
