You're supposed to be a security officer, what case are you solving?

Chapter 376 My Old Classmate Who Repairs Tanks!
Qincheng Criminal Police Detachment.

The office of the Third Brigade on the first floor.

"It's so cold outside. The weather forecast says it's going to snow heavily tonight."

Yao Weihua rubbed his hands together as he stepped into the office, quickly closing the door to keep the wind out.

The cat sat behind the desk, arms crossed, hands tucked into its armpits, sniffing.

Yao Weihua sat down next to him in his chair, and after sitting down, he frowned and asked, "What's wrong?"

The cat looked up and said listlessly, "I have a cold."

"Why didn't you say so earlier!" Yao Weihua quickly moved his chair closer to Feng Xiaocai.

"Little Sprout, are you alright? You don't have a cold, do you?"

Feng Xiaocai smiled and shook her head: "Thank you for your concern, Uncle Yao, but I'm dressed warmly. I think Brother Mao is about to catch a cold; he's dressed too lightly."

"He won't spend money on a down jacket, not even thermal underwear. He deserves it," Yao Weihua casually replied, glancing at Cai Ting sitting to Feng Xiaocai's left.

"Sister Cai, you've caught a cold too? Why are you looking so down?"

Cai Ting glared at him, then suddenly pulled open the drawer and took out a framed photo of her and her boyfriend.

She turned the photo frame over, forcefully opened the cardboard, took out the photo, and tore it in half.

She clutched the photo of her boyfriend's side in her hand, crumpled it vigorously, and then threw it into the trash can.

Yao Weihua shuddered in fright and asked in a low voice, "You broke up?"

Cai Ting ignored him.

Feng Xiaocai nodded: "Yes, we just separated last night?"

"Little Bean Sprout, how did you know?"

"I heard Sister Cai on the phone. She shouted into the phone, 'I'm going to kill you!'" Feng Xiaocai imitated Cai Ting's accent, especially when she said the word "I'm going to kill you," her voice was soft and sweet, completely lacking any force.

"That means a third party is involved."

Feng Xiaocai blinked: "How did you know?"

"If it were a peaceful breakup, Sister Cai wouldn't have gone so far as to kill someone. Only if a third party interfered would Sister Cai kill someone."

"What if it's an amicable breakup?"

"Then there's no need to tear up the photos. It's obvious that Sister Cai's boyfriend has a new love."

Feng Xiaocai nodded: "That's true. One is in the provincial capital and the other is in Annam. Although they are not far apart, it is quite difficult to see each other only once in a long while."

Yao Weihua shook his finger: "That's right, Sister Cai is too fierce, that man can't handle her."

After finishing speaking, Yao Weihua mustered up her courage and asked, "Sister Cai, what does your boyfriend's new girlfriend do? How tall is she? How much does she weigh? Is she pretty?"

"None of your business!" Cai Ting glared at him fiercely.

Cai Ting is 28 years old this year, while Yao Weihua is half a cycle older than her, that is, 42 years old.

Previously, in the An'nan City Criminal Investigation Detachment, Cai Ting was a very capable and cool female police officer.

She was once the city's strongest sprinter, and only became a police officer after retiring. Therefore, out of respect, Yao Weihua always addressed her as "Sister Cai".

Yao Weihua laughed and said, "When it comes to killing, we are the most professional. Let me tell you, if you go back to Annam, you must choose your method of killing very carefully. It is best to use poison, and choose a relatively uncommon poison."

Apart from Wen Ling'er, who has a high degree of skepticism, the other forensic doctors in Annam probably wouldn't be able to detect anything.

For example, potatoes contain solanine, which is the best weapon for killing people.

The cases we investigate, or the news reports you see.

Many ruthless people kill people, drag the bodies to the wilderness, bury them, but bury them too shallow, and eventually dogs will carry them out.

Holy crap, what the hell is going on?
"Brother Cat, you're asking me what happened? Ask away, ask away, what happened?"

The cat perked up and asked in cooperation, "What's going on?"

"Because they can't dig holes!"

Before the cat could even mock him, Yao Weihua said, "Don't think digging a hole is so simple..."

Cat rolled her eyes: "I didn't say it was simple. When I was in criminal investigation class, my teacher said that to dig a hole for burying a body, you need to..."

Yao Weihua interrupted him: "You just think it's simple!"

"Hey, I wrote down all the conditions for digging a hole back then, it said..." Cat retorted, almost snot flying out of his nose.

"Can't you cooperate a little?" Yao Weihua glared at him.

Feng Xiaocai watched them staring at each other with great interest, while Cai Ting impatiently shouted, "Stop arguing, it's so annoying!"

Yao Weihua gave up, took a sip of the cold tea from last night, and asked, "Why hasn't Captain Yang arrived yet?"

Feng Xiaocai glanced at the quartz clock on the wall: "Yes, it's almost 8:30."

Cat pulled out two tissues and blew his nose: "Captain Yang is staying outside now, and the roads are icy, so driving is a bit slower than usual."

Yao Weihua frowned: "When did Captain Yang get a car?"

“It’s secondhand,” Cat replied. “When we came back from Annam, Captain Yang picked one up from the secondhand market. He said it would be more convenient for us to go back to Annam later.”

Yao Weihua nodded: "That's great. I hate taking the train. I can hitch a ride back with Captain Yang next time. There will be four of us."

He had barely finished speaking when Yang Jinwen pushed open the office door.

Feng Xiaocai stood up: "Team Leader Yang."

She was the only one who stood up to greet them; Yao Weihua, Maozi, and Cai Ting all remained seated.

Seeing this, Feng Xiaocai sat down awkwardly.

"What's wrong?" Yang Jinwen asked.

Feng Xiaocai smiled and shook her head: "It's nothing."

"Hmm." Yang Jinwen asked, "Where do our team's vehicles usually go for repairs?"

Yao Weihua asked with concern, "What's wrong? Did something happen?"

Yang Jinwen put down his briefcase, then tossed a plastic bag into Maozi's arms, replying, "Just now at the entrance of the office, a bicycle bumped into the front of my bike, and I need to find a place to repair it."

Cat looked at the thing in his hand and blinked: "Captain Yang, what's this?"

Thermal underwear.

"No, I... I don't need it..."

"Come on, you've caught a cold. This isn't the way to save money." "Exactly," Feng Xiaocai nodded.

Cat opened the bag and saw two brand-new sets of thermal underwear inside, which were even lined with fleece. He sighed.

Yang Jinwen said, "Let me tell you, don't be so stingy with yourself."

After returning from Annam, Feng Xiaocai learned about the relationships among the people in the Third Brigade and some of their past events.

She knew about Maozi buying a house, so she asked, "Brother Mao, how much money do you still need? How about I lend it to you?"

The cat waved its hand: "No need, there's no rush."

Yao Weihua scolded, "Last time we went back to Annam, weren't you quite arrogant? It wasn't your money for the meals, but you insisted on getting several bottles of Xifeng liquor, which cost more than a month's salary. Now you're feeling the pinch. Remember your lesson, don't be fooled."

Cat sighed, "Uncle Jiang and Uncle Xu are truly my teachers. They didn't let me stumble. I never expected to be defeated by a waitress. That girl is shrewd; she wentaded me!"

Yang Jinwen urged, "Hurry up and put your clothes on."

Cat sneezed, stood up, and bowed to Yang Jinwen: "Captain Yang, I will pay you back. From now on, I will serve you like a slave."

"Get lost," Yao Weihua said with a laugh, knowing that Maozi was just joking.

As Feng Xiaocai watched Maozi leave the office, she hesitated and said, "How about I get some clothes for Brother Mao? My dad has some discounted down jackets at the mall, they're not expensive, so he won't feel bad about spending the money."

Cai Ting shook her head: "Forget it, if it's given by Captain Yang, Maozi won't think anything of it, but if it's given by us, Maozi will throw a tantrum."

Yao Weihua nodded: "That's right, only Captain Yang can feed the cat."

After saying that, he added, "By the way, Captain Yang, I have an old classmate who owns a car repair shop in the city. I'll take you there after get off work."

Yang Jinwen nodded: "Okay, it would be troublesome to carry out repairs in the name of the brigade."

In addition to taking turns handling cases, the Qincheng Criminal Police Detachment also needs to check with other detachments to see if they have any cases on hand when solving new homicide cases.

Both the First and Second Battalions were busy, vying fiercely for year-end awards.

Only the three teams, consisting of five people, leisurely stayed in the office, either reading newspapers, reviewing case files, or resting with their eyes closed, without vying for anything.

Throughout the day, Li Yang made several trips to the Third Brigade's office.

Because Wu Daqing and Li Yang were involved in solving two cases, Wen Mo is applying to the organization to have them transferred to the Third Brigade as non-staff members.

If this matter is successfully resolved, although I will be an unofficial staff member, it will only be temporary.

As long as the two individuals work hard and the Third Brigade achieves an outstanding case-solving rate, they can rightfully become proud criminal police officers.

Therefore, Wu Daqing and Li Yang were even more anxious than Maozi to get the bonus, and they kept asking if the Third Brigade had received any new cases.

Li Yang was very attentive to Yang Jinwen. When his teacup was empty, he quickly refilled it. When Yang Jinwen wanted to get some documents from the cabinet, Li Yang wouldn't let him get up. He found the documents and placed them neatly on his desk.

The cat caught a cold, and Li Yang almost brought the stove from the guardhouse.

Yang Jinwen was waited on hand and foot all day.

Besides him, Yao Weihua also enjoyed Li Yang's services.

As Maozi watched Li Yang's figure, it was as if he were seeing himself when he was He Jinbo's apprentice, and he felt a pang of nostalgia.

"I'm getting better too," the cat thought to itself.

With nothing to do all day, I went to the brothel... no, I went to the car repair shop.

After getting off work in the evening, Yang Jinwen drove his second-hand Mitsubishi Pajero, which he had bought, with Yao Weihua in to his old classmate's auto repair shop.

As Yang Jinwen drove, he asked, "Old Yao, what's your old classmate's name?"

"His name is Du Feng. We were classmates in junior high school. After graduating from junior high school, he worked at the An'nan Cotton Mill for two years. Later, he joined the army through the factory's quota and learned auto repair in the army."

After being discharged from the army, he opened a car repair shop in the provincial capital. He used to repair bicycles and motorcycles, but as people gradually became wealthier and more people owned cars, he started repairing automobiles as well.

Is the technology good?

"Damn, how could his skills be bad? He used to repair tanks in the army."

Yang Jinwen raised an eyebrow and looked out the car window. Snowflakes were falling from the sky, and a hexagonal snowflake landed in front of the windshield.

The sky grew darker and darker, and the snow fell heavier and heavier.

The temperature dropped sharply, causing the car windows to fog up.

"Over there, at the end of Ling Temple Street..."

Yao Weihua sat in the passenger seat, pointed out the window, and then frowned: "Why is the door closed?"

As Yang Jinwen drove, he asked, "Are you off work?"

“How could that be?” Yao Weihua shook his head: “He lives in the shop, and his daughter lives there too.”

"So you went out on business?"

"Impossible. Even if Lao Du went out, he still had two apprentices with him. It's impossible that they weren't in the shop."

"What should I do?"

"Captain Yang, pull over to the side of the road, I'll give him a call."

"it is good."

Yang Jinwen looked at the sky outside. It was completely dark, and the dim streetlights lit up one after another, like colorful ribbons shining in the sky.

Yao Weihua took out his mobile phone and dialed a number.

The call connected, but no one answered.

"That's strange," Yao Weihua clicked his tongue.

"Then let's come again tomorrow," Yang Jinwen suggested.

"also."

Just as Yang Jinwen was about to turn the steering wheel around, his cell phone rang in his pocket. He took it out and saw that it was Wu Kai calling.

Wu Kai had no personal relationship with him, so when he called after get off work, it was undoubtedly about work.

Sure enough, Yang Jinwen pressed the call button, and the other party said on the phone: "Yang Jinwen, take your Third Brigade to the Hongxing Brick Factory in the northern suburbs."

"Is there a case?"

"That's right, a body has been found in the wasteland west of the Red Star Brick Factory!"

　Asking for a monthly ticket.
