Walking to the door of Gaoju's office, Lu Hui stopped, turned around and asked the two little tails behind him: "You want to go in together?"

"Of course." Ji Fanyang shrugged, "How big can it be?"

"Yes." Rao Feifei echoed.

With a subtle expression on Lu Hui's face, he raised his hand and knocked on the door.

"Boom boom boom."

"The door is unlocked, come in." Gao Ju's voice came.

Lu Hui pushed the door open, followed by Rao Feifei and Ji Fanyang.

Gao Ju sat behind the desk, and Chang Hui, the captain of the seventh team, stood in front of the desk.

Gao Ju smiled and said, "Xiao Lu is here, sit down."

Lu Hui didn't refuse, just sat down neatly, he didn't speak, and no one spoke.

There was silence.

"How many investigations have you done with the case in Xiao Lu's hands?" Gao Ju took a sip of tea before speaking.

"I have a clue." Lu Hui said.

"Have a clue? Surely it wasn't suicide?" Gao Ju asked.

"Yes, and no." Lu Hui replied.

"What do you mean?" Chang Hui couldn't help but speak, with anger hidden in his words.

Lu Hui glanced at him and stopped talking.

"Our investigation has been more than half done." Ji Fanyang tried to ease the atmosphere.

"Then it didn't even find out whether it was homicide or suicide?" Chang Hui retorted.

"Three days." Lu Hui raised his eyebrows slightly, "Give me another three days."

"Two days." Gao Ju's teacup knocked on the table, making a clear "click" sound, "Up to two days, if nothing useful is found within two days, the case will be closed as suicide."

"Yes." Lu Hui stood up from the sofa, opened the door and left the Gaoju office.

Chang Hui, Rao Feifei and Ji Fanyang said: "Then let's go first."

"Go." Gao Ju sighed, rubbing his temples in annoyance.

The three caught up with Lu Hui, and Chang Hui spoke first: "You did this wrong from the beginning."

"Oh, I should let the murderer get away with it." Lu Hui said blankly.

"Have you found out who it is? If it wasn't a homicide, you are wasting police force and reducing work efficiency." Chang Hui said.

"Don't you want to take responsibility?" Lu Hui turned into the group office.

Qi Zhou who was sitting in the office was stunned when he saw a group of people coming in.

"I don't want to take responsibility? Lu Hui, you simply don't know what is good or bad." Chang Hui raised his voice angrily, "Do you know how to write the word discipline?"

"I don't want to know." Lu Hui said, facing Chang Hui, his voice was neither high nor low, full of sarcasm and contempt, "If you don't want to take responsibility, then I will take charge of this case."

"That's just right, don't involve me." Chang Hui was so angry that he couldn't choose what to say, "I don't know what Gaoju thinks, but with me, you don't want to do whatever you want!"

"I'm sorry, but I really don't want to work under you." Lu Hui said, "Since I'm in charge of this case and we have a clear separation of responsibilities, my team also doesn't belong to Team Seven."

"Group Lu." Qi Zhou stood up in disapproval, "From the very beginning, the high bureau said that we should follow Team Seven to investigate the case..."

"Oh, so what? Did I sign the deed of prostitution?" Lu Hui opened fire, catching anyone, not to mention Qi Zhou, who usually doesn't deal with it very much, "I will investigate the case that I think is problematic." In the end, I will be responsible if something goes wrong, so don't worry about one or two of you."

"You! You are such a fucking bastard!" Chang Hui finally swears.

"It's too late for you to know. The Provincial Public Security Bureau already knew about this nickname." Lu Hui said calmly, "Is there anything else? If nothing else, I have to go to the scene."

Chang Hui slapped the table hard and left angrily.

Qi Zhou said, "Lu Hui, do you really want to set up seven independent teams to investigate the case?"

"Why, what I just said was not clear enough?" Lu Hui frowned, "Do you want me to write this sentence on the whiteboard?"

Qi Zhou's hands trembled when he was choked by the serial bombs. He calmed down for a while and said, "I'm sorry that I can't work with you anymore. I can't stand people who disregard discipline."

"The door is there." Lu Huisui pointed to the door, "Goodbye."

Qi Zhou walked out of the office neatly, slamming the door with a "bang" and leaving.

With two people missing, the office instantly became quiet.

Ji Fanyang said: "This..."

"Rao Feifei, where is the phone number you got just now?" Lu Hui said.

"Oh, here." Rao Feifei was shocked by Lu Hui's aura just now, and hurriedly took out a piece of white paper from the folder, "I printed all the text messages and phone calls on it."

"Yeah." After a fierce quarrel, Lu Hui did not have any emotional fluctuations. He was still cold and gloomy as usual, with sarcasm hanging from the corner of his mouth, "Call from a landline, Rao Feifei, tell me."

"Okay." Rao Feifei picked up the receiver and dialed the number with her index finger on the dial.

"beep..."

"beep..."

"Hi, hello." A soft female voice answered the phone.

"Hello, this is the criminal investigation team of the Municipal Public Security Bureau. Are you Ms. Hu XX? Can you come to the Municipal Bureau to make a record? You are currently involved in a criminal case." Rao Feifei said.

"Yes, I'm Hu xx, criminal case? Excuse me..." The female voice hesitated slightly, as if she had a sudden epiphany, "You mean someone died?"

"Yes, we are investigating this case." Rao Feifei said, "Why don't you come to the bureau to discuss it in detail?"

"Okay, okay, can this afternoon?" the female voice said.

"Of course, Ms. Hu." Rao Feifei said.

The two parties hung up the phone, and Lu Hui said, "It seems we have to wait until the afternoon."

"Lu Zu, Qi Zhou is like this, is it really okay?" Ji Fanyang asked with some uncertainty.

"He's going to leave sooner or later, and it's just right now." Taking advantage of the fact that everyone is fine now, Lu Hui patiently explained to the two young people, "When we first met, we can infer from his demeanor that he is a good person. Students are the kind that the head teacher especially likes, good students with high standards and strong ambitions, of course they also have a sense of superiority."

"Good student, he needs to sharpen his spirit." Lu Hui said.

"But, he left in anger." Rao Feifei pointed out the key point.

"Yeah, I'm not his class teacher." Lu Hui said naturally, "Why should I polish him."

"..." seemed to make sense but something was wrong.

"Buzzing."

"Buzzing."

Lu Hui took out his mobile phone, glanced at the caller ID, and hung up the phone neatly.

"Buzzing."

"Buzzing."

Lu Hui hung up the phone again.

"Buzzing."

Rao Feifei's phone rang—an unknown caller.

"Hang up." Lu Hui said.

Rao Feifei hung up the phone with a blank face.

"Buzzing."

Ji Fanyang answered the phone: "Hello?"

"Let that little bastard answer the phone." A slightly irritable female voice sounded, piercing the receiver and reaching the eardrum.

Ji Fanyang was stunned, and Lu Hui immediately snatched his phone.

Lu Hui glared at Ji Fanyang, and reluctantly pressed the phone to his ear: "Hello?"

"How to talk!"

"... Sister." Lu Hui hummed a single sound from his nasal cavity.

Ji Fanyang almost dropped the clip, Rao Feifei listened with bated breath.

"Have you grown up enough to dare to hang up on your sister's phone?" The female voice was aggressive, "What good thing have you done?"

"Seek justice." Lu Hui said.

Ji Fanyang/Rao Feifei: "..."

"Fart, why do you bully other people's children, come and tell me carefully." The female voice was full of threats, "If you say a wrong word, your leg will be interrupted."

"..." Lu Hui glanced at the two young men in front of him with pricked ears, put away the sarcasm from the corners of his lips, stood up and walked out of the office expressionlessly, "It's really not my fault this time."

"If you believe in you, there will be a ghost." The female voice spat.
