Diary of a Criminal Investigator-Chapter 321: The Gossiping Criminal Investigation Team

Chapter 321: Chapter 321: The Gossiping Criminal Investigation Team

The relationship between men and women is like a layer of window paper.

Before it’s pierced, it’s hazy and seems real yet illusory.

But it only takes a little force, and poof.

Lu Chuan now feels like the clouds have parted and he can see the bright moon. Forensic Doctor Shen’s delicate and boneless small hand feels amazing, something Lu Chuan has never experienced before.

The faint sound of her agreement made Lu Chuan so excited that he almost ran the last red light.

"Let’s go out for dinner tonight."

"Okay."

When the sports car drove into the Criminal Investigation Team, Lu Chuan eagerly got out first and then opened the car door for Shen Yan.

Forensic Doctor Shen smiled sweetly and got out of the car holding Lu Chuan’s hand.

The two usually arrive at the team early every day, but there are still colleagues who come even earlier, as well as those on duty.

Everyone was used to seeing them come to work together, but like today...

This was the first time.

"Did he succeed?"

At the office window of the second-floor Action Group Two, Zhang Hui, who was on duty yesterday, had just brushed his teeth.

"Looks like there’s no problem."

Zhang Hui gossiped with a colleague while clicking his tongue, like a compass with delicate feet from the old society.

Just missing a handful of melon seeds.

Ordinary people generally love gossip about three kinds of people: the rich, the famous, and the good-looking.

Coincidentally, Forensic Doctor Shen and Lu Chuan fit all three points at the Criminal Investigation Team.

So, in private, many people bet on when Lu Chuan would win over Forensic Doctor Shen.

Of course, the bets are made privately. Zhang Hui had a good relationship with Lu Chuan, but he wouldn’t dare tell him about the bets.

Some female colleagues disdain the bets. Forensic Doctor Shen is indeed pretty, but...

She’s a forensic doctor, after all.

A forensic doctor!

It’s a pity for Lu Chuan, the white horse prince.

But what Lu Chuan, who was opening the car door for Shen Yan, was thinking, only he knew.

Heh heh heh!

Heh heh heh heh heh heh!

Old Bai and Yang Sen had just entered the office when they heard Lu Chuan humming a tune, tending to that pot of flamingo-lily.

The two exchanged glances, immediately knowing something was up, and that it was good news.

"Lu, what’s up? So happy this morning, is there any good news?"

Huh?

"No good news?"

"No good news and you’re humming a tune?"

"Oh, I saw the cat at my doorstep do a backflip this morning, it was quite funny."

Ha ha.

The two older men chuckled; who hasn’t been there?

"Made progress with Shen?"

Being old and wise, everyone has experienced love.

While being a policeman isn’t as romantic as other professions, not everyone is single either.

"Yes, there’s some progress."

Lu Chuan wasn’t embarrassed. His and Shen Yan’s relationship had recently made significant progress, which everyone in the team knew.

There was no deliberate hiding about it.

"Really?"

"You’ve finally figured it out. Tell us, how did it happen?"

Bam!

The office door swung open, and sure enough, it was Zhang Hui.

"Lu Chuan, how’s it going? I saw you holding Forensic Doctor Shen’s hand this morning?"

Indeed, when men gossip, it’s scarier than women.

To be honest, Lu Chuan’s morning confession to Forensic Doctor Shen was a bit rushed.

No flowers, no candlelight, but there was a sports car worth millions.

Better than nothing.

The confession of the wealthy is straightforward and unadorned.

Forensic Doctor’s Office.

"Sister Shen, did you say yes to him?"

Shen Yan nodded, her cheeks slightly flushed.

"Wow! We’re doomed, we have no chance now."

"Why no chance? As long as Sister Shen and Lu Chuan aren’t married, you have a chance."

"That’s true, Sister Shen, do I still have a chance?"

The conversations between women are even more baffling than those between men.

You never know if it’s a joke or intentional probing.

In short, there’s one word to sum it up: unfathomable.

The days of idling remain calm, as if criminals are also taking a break for the college entrance exam, petty theft has decreased significantly during this period.

Of course, the main reason is during the college entrance exam, there are police all over the road, and many officers from other units are brought in to assist due to a shortage of traffic police.

Especially near the exam centers, with at least two police officers stationed at every intersection.

Even the household registration officers from the police station set up tables in front of exam centers to issue temporary IDs for students who lost or forgot their identification.

In Haizhou City in June, the weather isn’t very hot, and it’s not the rainy season yet, so the natural conditions are relatively good.

Unlike some southern cities that have already entered the rainy season.

Many cities even prepared inflatable boats, just in case they needed them during the exams.

The main goal is to minimize unexpected incidents and ensure students can attend the exams.

"Make the most of these good days, they won’t last."

Yang Sen checked in the morning and then went home in the afternoon. With three days left before the college entrance exam, the kids are already on break.

In the office, only Lu Chuan, Liu Guodong, and Old Bai remained.

Lu Chuan was pondering what to eat for dinner; today is a meaningful day and deserves to be celebrated meaningfully.

Old Bai was being sentimental. Based on past experience, early June is one of the two periods with the lowest crime rates throughout the year.

Apart from the Spring Festival, it’s the days surrounding the college entrance exam.

But once these days pass, crime rates will noticeably rise.

There will be fights, drunken disturbances, even arson and murder, all sorts of things.

"It’s fine, face whatever comes. We should take this time to rest and recharge when there are no cases."

Liu Guodong shook his head, feeling indifferent; it’s been the same routine for years.

When a case, especially a murder case comes in, everyone in the unit works overtime, and no one can escape. When there are no cases, everyone can relax comfortably.

Thinking of this, Liu Guodong glanced at Lu Chuan, who was scrolling on his phone.

This year, the Criminal Investigation Team has taken on more murder cases compared to previous years.

However, not a single case remained unsolved; each one was successfully investigated in a short time.

This is the biggest difference compared to previous years.

No matter the era, murder cases are particularly difficult to investigate.

Sometimes, involving 100 to 200 or even 500 or 1,000 people working for a month or two with no progress.

The key to a case is finding the critical clues.

Although young and not long employed, Lu Chuan has a great talent in this area.

In recent cases, Lu Chuan has made significant contributions.

At this moment, Lu Chuan was not in the mood to think about cases.

"What to have for dinner tonight?"

"Western food? Cuisine? Chinese food?"

Eventually, Lu Chuan decided it needed to be a bit ceremonious.

Though he successfully confessed in the car this morning, it seemed to lack some ceremonial flair.

But he didn’t need to worry about the specifics.

Qiangsheng Group’s entertainment company, which can shoot movies, certainly can create a nice atmosphere for dinner.

After sending a WeChat to Lu Qiang, the rest was not his concern.
