When the female supporting role has a beauty system

Chapter 1059 Policewoman 140
This time, Tan You decided not to get involved. She glanced at Lao Wu and said, "Captain Wu, how about we look at some backlog cases?"

Old Wu checked the time: "It's almost lunchtime. Let's eat lunch first and then look into it. Anyway, Old Huang and I have discussed it, and we think we can still work on some of the backlog cases."

Tan You nodded and started taking out her phone: "What should we eat for lunch today? Zhang Shunzi and the others have worked hard on the case, they need to eat something good to make up for it. Are there any good restaurants around here? Speaking of which, that roast duck last time was really good, can we make a reservation? Let's go to a restaurant for dinner tonight?"

Old Huang covered Tan You's phone: "You still want to make a reservation? That restaurant is about to close down. Just thinking about how Qi Jiantao worked there as a chef for over ten years, who would dare to go there now?"

Tan You: "That's Qi Jiantao's crime, what does it have to do with the shop owner? Although we're here to solve the case, it's not our intention to affect other people's business."

"Alright, let's boost the popularity of his shop. Let's go to that roast duck restaurant tonight. I'll call and contact them first."

Old Huang nodded to Tan You: "Okay, we'll have a big meal tonight, so let's keep lunch simple. Some rice bowls will be enough. It's so hot, something light will be more comfortable."

Tan You nodded: "Okay, Xiao Zhang, let's have a big meal tonight and keep it simple for lunch."

Xiao Zhang smiled and said, "No problem. Anyway, when Captain Lu treats us to a meal, nothing is bad. Even the vegetarian dishes are made to taste amazing."

Old Huang thought of the vegetarian meal Tan You had ordered last time and suddenly felt like he was about to have a heart attack: "Forget it, let's just eat as usual. That vegetarian meal was more expensive than the meat dishes."

Tan You chuckled: "Making vegetarian dishes taste good is even more difficult. So I'll order food. Shall we all go out to eat later? It would be too conspicuous to go to the bureau."

This isn't the Jiangning Municipal Public Security Bureau. If it were, she could do whatever she wanted without anyone bothering her. She was making soup in her office, and the director would occasionally sneak a sip.

But now, Tan You sighed, "It's been so long since I've made soup."

Old Huang's eye twitched: "We have to be careful on other people's turf."

"Understood, understood." Tan You smiled. "It's booked. We'll be leaving in half an hour."

Although Tan You went out for dinner, she didn't forget her colleagues at the Luoxia District Bureau and brought back some food for them. It's easy to imagine that there wouldn't be much left in the canteen after lunchtime.

Captain Zhang shoveled at his food: "I've never seen anything like this before. This is the first time I've encountered a case like this in all my years as a police officer. Do you think this case would have been closed if Captain Lu hadn't become suspicious today?"

Team Leader Qian also opened a box of lunch: "Isn't that right? It's so meticulously made; it must have been planned for several years."

Xiao Zhang asked curiously, "Several years? How did she come up with this idea?"

Team Leader Qian: "She has a relative who owns a decoration company. She only heard by chance that using non-standard decoration materials was bad for her health. So she did an on-site investigation. She was afraid that people would find out, so she hired her relative for the decoration."

Xiao Zhang was a perfect straight man: "Didn't her relatives suspect anything?"

"He probably didn't know then, but now that the child is gone, he should have figured it out by now. Indeed, the most poisonous heart is that of a woman." Captain Qian shook his head. "But the real culprit is that Wang Quan."

"He's lying there crying right now. His wife is going to jail, his daughter is dead, and his eldest son has a murderer as his mother. Who knows what will become of him? I heard that his eldest son and the little girl were very close." "His relative is devastated. He was helping Wang Li with the renovations, and who knew he'd get into this mess? I wonder if there will be any consequences."

Xiaoliu: "Probably not, but you never know. Even if he didn't know before, he didn't come forward to warn us after the child's accident..."

Tan You: "Someone like Wang Quan who cheated should never have had any contact with you again after breaking up with him. He's like a watermelon that's been bitten by a fly; it's disgusting to eat, it's unpleasant to keep, and in the end, it only makes you unhappy."

"But what does a fly care about your unhappiness? It thinks it's clean, pure, and flawless. It even thinks that as long as you remarry, everything will be forgiven."

Xiao Zhang asked curiously, "Captain Lu, let's say you get married one day, and your husband cheats on you, what will you do?"

Tan You smiled enigmatically: "I don't even need to wait for him to actually cheat. What can he possibly hide from me?"

Old Wu, holding his teacup, said, "But everyone has moments when they're distracted. You can't even tolerate that?"

Tan You was particularly confident: "I have talent, I have ability, I have looks, money, and a good figure. Why would I cling to a man who's unfaithful? No matter how outstanding he is, he's a negative number to me."

"Are you all just bored? Are the cases too hard to solve or aren't your achievements appealing enough? Do I really need a man in my life? What can he possibly offer me?"

"He probably doesn't earn as much as I do, and he's not as capable as me. Even if we do get married one day, I'll be the one taking care of him. I'll have to tolerate his parents and family, have children, and prevent him from having an affair."

"Am I just being silly and making myself uncomfortable? How can he be so shameless? To put it bluntly, marriage only benefits men, it doesn't do women any good at all."

"Staying single and childless ensures peace; getting promoted and making a fortune means losing your wife. There are examples of this everywhere. I have no patience for targeted poverty alleviation. Someone like me is only suited to being alone."

Old Huang was surprised by Tan You's boldness and avant-garde nature, but he could understand it after thinking about it: "I have a daughter myself, and I've found that most men in the world are like this. Maybe it's like what Xiao Lu said, staying single and childless is the best way to stay safe."

Old Wu took a sip of tea: "We can't generalize. There are still good men out there. At worst, Xiao Lu, you can find a policeman. People in the organization are probably not that bad."

Tan You refused outright: "That won't do. It's not that I'm prejudiced against the police. It's just that dating and marriage mean trouble. Right now, I only want to solve cases and don't want anything else."

"I might consider getting married someday if I quit being a police officer."

Xiao Liu: "No way, Captain Lu, it would be a huge loss to our police system if you quit. At worst, my son can take care of you in your old age."

Xiao Zhang shoved him away: "Dream on, Captain Lu! I have a son too! Your son is younger than mine, so get in line!"

Tan You chuckled and quickly changed the subject: "Alright, as long as I have money, I don't need to worry about my retirement at all. Now let's get down to business. Which case should we work on first?"

The moment the topic of backlog cases came up, everyone became serious and stopped joking around. Soon, the office was filled with the sound of files being flipped through. Even Captain Qian and the others, who were eating lunch, gradually slowed down, eager to know which case Tan You would choose.
