Officer Hu clearly hadn’t noticed anything unusual in Zhang Feng’s room.
At this mont, he muttered under his breath:
"I just ca from her room, nothing there..."
"Who knows where she’s run off to again."
"Alright!" Officer Hu raised his head.
He said to Zhang Feng:
"Hurry up and get dressed, change into your uniform, and be ready to gather downstairs!"
"I’m going to find where my daughter has run off to."
"Alrighty!" Zhang Feng responded enthusiastically.
"Take care, Officer Hu!"
"Bang!" He once again shut his room door tightly and locked it.
"Whew—"
Zhang Feng let out a long sigh.
That was close!
Oh wow!
How did I end up getting carried away?
And it’s still so early in the morning with colleagues living in surrounding rooms, and even Hu Huixin’s father is on this floor!
Just a bit more, just a bit more!
If it weren’t for a stroke of luck, the morning’s first event would have been Officer Hu chasing all over the street!
The bed, the lump under the blanket was still gently trembling.
Luckily Officer Hu didn’t co in, otherwise it’d be all over!
Looking at that lump under the blanket, Zhang Feng couldn’t help but say:
"Alright, co out quickly and get dressed, lest your dad cos back again!"
Upon hearing this!
"Whoosh!" The blanket was lifted!
A perfectly flawless Hu Huixin appeared before Zhang Feng, making him nearly lose control again.
However, Hu Huixin no longer seed to mind.
Her cheeks were flushed, she slightly gritted her teeth, quickly found her clothes, put them on haphazardly, and slipped into Zhang Feng’s room’s bathroom, tidying up for a while.
When she erged from inside, she was once again a valiant and beautiful policewoman.
Just, there was a lasting blush on her cheeks.
The averting-eyed Hu Huixin didn’t even look at Zhang Feng, directly turning around and fleeing from Zhang Feng’s room.
Watching Hu Huixin leave, Zhang Feng finally had the chance to catch his breath, with a cold shower suppressing the turmoil in his heart.
When Zhang Feng arrived downstairs for the eting.
Lin Rui and the others had already arrived.
Lin Rui imdiately ca up to Zhang Feng, curiously asking:
"Zhang Feng, why is your face a bit red? Got a fever?"
"Cough!" Zhang Feng acted as if he’d been caught out, slightly embarrassed, coughed and spoke:
"Nothing’s wrong, maybe it was too hot in the room."
"Strange..." Lin Rui murmured:
"Hu said the sa, but I don’t feel it..."
"Cough, cough, cough..."
Indeed, Zhang Feng choked!
To avoid further inquiry from Lin Rui, Zhang Feng quickly diverted the topic: "Officer Ma is calling us! We better hurry over!"
Thankfully, it seed there was serious business today, and Lin Rui didn’t press for answers.
They rode the police car all the way to the D City Branch’s exclusive conference hall.
Facing the huge conference hall before him, Zhang Feng followed Officer Ma and asked:
"What are we going to do here?"
Officer Ma looked at Zhang Feng and said:
"Because of Cheng Bing’s case, the top leadership has taken notice!"
"So they’re coming to D City personally to hold a special operations eting!"
"A eting?!"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Feng felt this was serious trouble?
In his previous life, he couldn’t sit through morning etings on the mountain, let alone such bureaucratic etings in this world!
He couldn’t endure such torture!
Therefore!
"Bathroom escape!"
This idea was really great!
He stayed in the bathroom until he heard applause three tis, then slowly erged from it.
However, he wouldn’t enter the conference room to listen to lectures!
He andered over to the end of the corridor, onto the balcony.
But just as he reached the balcony, his expression beca odd.
He saw a fifty-sothing-year-old man squatting on the ground, twisting his body.
Who knows what he was up to.
But half his backside seed to be exposed, can’t he buy larger pants?
Zhang Feng curiously squatted down to join him.
He discovered the man squatting on the ground was holding a cigarette in one hand, and a magnifying glass in the other, using the sun to light his cigarette?!
Zhang Feng’s stiffened face quirked a bit as he said:
"Dude, seriously, do you absolutely have to smoke that cigarette right now?"
The man, startled by his words, upon seeing Zhang Feng’s unfamiliar young face, breathed a sigh of relief, continuing to focus sunlight to light the cigarette and said:
"Kid, you don’t understand!"
"I’ve been smoking for decades, but now my wife and kids are controlling , won’t let smoke, who can bear that?"
"Today I’ve finally managed to get a cigarette, you have to let try it!"
"By the way, do you have a lighter?"
Zhang Feng’s eye twitched:
"I don’t smoke..."
"Alright." The man seed slightly disappointed, but then he exaggeratedly winced:
"Can’t keep it up!"
"Kid, my knee can’t squat for long, help out here? Co on, co on, help , help !"
Saying so, whether Zhang Feng agreed or not, he directly shoved the magnifying glass and cigarette into Zhang Feng’s hands.
He then pulled himself up by the railing.
Stretching his knee, looking refreshed.
Zhang Feng was speechless, who knew stepping out for fresh air would turn him into a cigarette lighting assistant?
The sunlight streaming through the window onto the cigarette butt had so warmth, but how long would it take to ignite it?
Zhang Feng had no patience.
Therefore, as Zhang Feng turned his back on the man, he secretly conjured and internally muttered: "Fire!"
"Phew!" The cigarette ignited swiftly.
After doing so, Zhang Feng’s expression was sowhat odd.
If the grandmaster found out he’d used mystic arts to light a cigarette, would he be expelled from the sect?
"Already lit? That quickly?!"
The man, delighted, took the lit cigarette from Zhang Feng’s hands.
He put it in his mouth, puffing away, truly as if he had been craving it desperately.
In the smoky haze, the man happily said:
"You see, young folks know how to handle things better!"
"The last ti I tried lighting it, it took over ten minutes!"
Seriously... handling skills...
Do you even realize what you’re saying?
Leaving Zhang Feng unsure of how to respond.
Still, the man’s voice erged, puffing smoke, and said slowly:
"You should be attending the eting inside, right?"
"Could it be you can’t sit still, tired of those high-ranking officials repeating themselves endlessly, so you snuck out?"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Feng felt his embarrassnt, as if he’d been revealed, sighed and said:
"Yes! Absolutely, man!"
"This bureaucratic stuff is useless, just wasting ti, it’s better spent solving more cases!"
"Hahaha..." Zhang Feng didn’t know what made the man laugh so hard, but after his laughter he said to Zhang Feng:
"Young man, you’re great!"
But right then.
"Clap-clap-clap—" The applause suddenly burst from the conference hall.
Zhang Feng paused, the intensity of the applause... has the eting ended?
No way, must go back, otherwise he’ll be caught!
Before leaving, he courteously said to the man:
"Alright, man, I’m heading off, till we et again!"
Yet Zhang Feng didn’t know that just after he left, the man amidst the smoke murmured:
"I believe we’ll et again soon..."
...
Before Zhang Feng could sneak back into the conference hall, Officer Ma caught him on the spot:
"Forensic Doctor Zhang, where have you been? I was just looking for you!"
"Looking for ?" Zhang Feng paused, a hint of joy in his eyes:
"Another corpse discovery?!"
