Confrontation
Song Yuhang lightly knocked on the door twice, and from inside ca a vigorous voice saying, Co in. Only then did she push the door open and placed the completed case report on the desk.
Feng Ju was imrsed in handling official docunts, and next to him was a large enal mug with the words Serve the People written on it. It was said to be a reward he received when he was awarded a third-class rit for his work, and he had been using it ever since.
Seeing that Song Yuhang neither spoke nor made any movent, Feng Ju looked up at her in surprise and asked, Whats wrong?
Song Yuhang moved her lips slightly.
He seed to have understood sothing and put the pen back into its cap. I heard that you had a bit of a conflict with the new Forensic Doctor Lin on the way this morning?
Song Yuhang saw his gaze fall on her arm and glanced sideways, saying, Its nothing, just a scrape.
A few years ago, when we were chasing a fugitive across provinces, we had an intense fight with the criminals for half an hour, and you didnt get injured like this, Feng Ju, who had a gentle deanor and wore glasses, even joked with her.
Song Yuhang lowered her head without saying much, but Feng Ju had already understood what she was thinking. You want to know why we let soone like Lin Yan into our city bureau, right?
This morning, they had a eting and conducted an injury assessnt. Lin Yan sent Duan Cheng to handle it, as she was only interested in dealing with the deceased and had little interest in the living.
While others were busy with their tasks, this young lady was holed up in her office, sipping the coffee Fang Xin made for her. Soft music played from her computer as she lay back in her chair with her feet propped up on the desk, a face mask applied to her face.
According to her, it was ti for her midday skincare routine.
You didnt even notify when you ca back so I could pick you up.
A slow and leisurely voice with a hint of laughter ca through the receiver.
While carefully pressing down the face mask on her nose to prevent it from lifting, Lin Yan spoke in a slightly sulky tone,
Forget it, youre so busy with work, how could you possibly have ti to pick up?
The man on the other end of the phone was wearing a white lab coat, and he stood outside the examination room, smiling lightly. I still have ti to pick you up.
Lin Yan shivered all over. Hey, gross! Speak like a normal person.
The man couldnt hold back his laughter, attracting the attention of passing nurses. He cleared his throat and composed himself. Alright, when will you co to my place for dinner?
Lin Yuan must have asked you to call , that old guy, right?
Dont speak ill of Uncle Lin. After all
Upon hearing that na, Lin Yan felt annoyed and took the phone away from her ear. Enough, if you bring up that matter, theres nothing for us to talk about.
Dont, dont hang up! If you wont do it for Uncle Lins sake, at least do it for my moms sake. After all, she often worries about you.
When Lin Yan was first brought back ho by Lin Yuan, she was constantly bullied by Lin Cheng. He even threatened to run away from ho if she was around. Unable to handle the situation, Lin Yuan had no choice but to send her to be fostered at Lin Ges ho.
This fostering lasted for two years until it was ti for her to go to school, and the Lin familys butler brought her back ho again.
In terms of generation, Lin Ge could be considered her cousin. However, since they had grown up together, they couldnt bring themselves to address each other as cousin. Instead, they called each other Lin Ge and Lin Yan.
After her college entrance examination, she completely broke ties with the Lin family and only maintained occasional contact with Lin Ge. Over the years, her relationship with her supposed father had been lukewarm at best, and his presence was mostly felt through the inexplicably increased amount of money in her bank account every month.
She fell silent for a mont and then sighed nonchalantly, No, I wont go to your place. Lets have dinner together so other ti.
Sure, but well have to make an appointnt in advance. Im not sure if Ill have the ti.
Co on, whats the deal? Anything going on? Lin Yan teasingly cursed.
Nothing, its just my moms idea. Its a blind date, you know. We have to et and build so rapport from ti to ti.
Hey~ It seems like shes serious this ti, the young lady whistled softly.
Lin Ge is seven years older than her and has been studying abroad for many years. After finally returning to the country, he gave up the job arranged for him by Lin Yuan and established a professional dental hospital. He currently serves as the director and chief of the dental departnt.
It was a ti when his career was thriving, and also a ti when his mother at ho was eager to have grandchildren.
He let out a sigh from the other end, I wouldnt say shes serious. Were just getting to know each other as friends. I think the other person probably feels the sa way.
And what about you? Youre not young anymore. Its ti to consider your own lifelong matter.
Damn it, Im not that old! Im thirty-one and still in my pri!
After Forensic Doctor Lin angrily shouted this sentence, the air seed to freeze for two seconds, and the music abruptly stopped.
A gaze fell upon her.
She looked up and saw Officer Song standing at the door. The backlight made it difficult to see her expression, but it seed like she had been standing there for a while.
Does this person walk without making any sound?
Miss Lin rolled her eyes, Enough, soone is here. I wont talk to you now.
Um, excuse , do you have gauze or alcohol or sothing like that?
Lin Yan scrolled through her phone contacts, looking for her evening date, not even lifting her eyelids.
I dont know, Fang Xin.
Fang Xin lifted her head from the pile of paperwork and adjusting her glasses, Whats wrong, Lin Jie?
Song Yuhang repeated once again, Alcohol, gauze.
As if afraid they didnt understand, she added, I need to treat a wound.
Fang Xin quickly stood up, Sure, we have so in the cabinet inside the autopsy room. Ill go get it for you.
The forensic autopsy room was just a wall away. Fang Xin brought out the items and handed them to her, saying, Let help you, Captain Song.
Its fine.
As Song Yuhang spoke, she casually found a chair and sat down. She rolled up her sleeves above her shoulders, took a cotton swab dipped in alcohol, and awkwardly picked out so small gravel embedded in her skin.
Fang Xin couldnt bear to see such grueso things, and her face turned pale. On the other hand, Song Yuhang seed unbothered, not making a single sound.
Lin Yan typed ssages to her evening date while saying nonchalantly, So people dont jump out to play the hero, and yet they have no real courage to handle anything.
This remark was a bit too much, and Fang Xin looked at the two of them with a worried expression, afraid they might start fighting at any mont.
Unexpectedly, Officer Song still made no unnecessary moves. She treated the wound herself, threw the used cotton swabs and gauze into the trash can, and twisted the cap of the alcohol bottle back on before handing it to Fang Xin.
Thank you.
While Fang Xin went to the next room to put sothing away, by the ti she returned, the two of them were already staring at each other wide-eyed.
Lin Yan still had a face mask on, and when she suddenly lifted her head, it almost scared Fang Xin out of her wits.
Song Yuhang remained as calm as ever, as if she was indifferent to everything around her. If she had been born in ancient tis, she might have been a martial arts master who ca and went without a trace, wearing white robes and carrying a sword, indifferent to fa and fortune.
But here and now, it was a bit intimidating.
Staring at the expressionless face before her, Lin Yan asked.
Is there sothing on my face?
Song Yuhang leaned forward.
She was already a head taller, and as they got closer, a faint scent of laundry detergent filled the air.
Lin Yan kicked the table with her foot, pushing her chair back a few steps. Officer Song, its not appropriate to gaze at so affectionately in the office, is it?
Song Yuhang stood up straight, her arm already bandaged. One hand was in her pocket as she looked at Lin Yan and said, According to Article 7, Clause 3 of the Regulations on the Dress Code for Peoples Police Officers of Public Security Organs, police uniforms must not be worn with additional garnts, sleeves rolled up, hems tucked in, or trousers rolled up.
Lin Yan glanced at the uniform jacket draped over a nearby chair, then lowered her head to look at the two open buttons on her collar and her rolled-up trouser legs. She slowly ford a puzzled expression with her fingers, mimicking the ? sign.
Fang Xin quickly patted her own police uniform and smoothed her hair to show a neat appearance.
Except for work requirents and special circumstances, police officers should wear standard leather shoes, rubber shoes, or black leather shoes. The heel height for female police officers should not exceed four centiters.
Lin Yans seven-centiter heels, studded with diamonds, seed to challenge the heavens and could easily blind Fang Xins eyes.
Miss Lins face was full of disbelief, as if she was looking at an alien creature.
Song Yuhang took a step back. Also, nails must not be colored, and no colorful hair dye or jewelry is allowed.
??? Song Yuhang, are you even human? No, are you a woman?
Indeed, it seed that Officer Song wore the police uniform year-round and never dyed her hair. Her shoulder-length hair was always tied up, revealing a distinct and sharp facial features.
As for jewelry, she probably considered them unnecessary luxuries.
From both physiological and psychological characteristics, I am. As a forensic doctor, that question is rather unprofessional.
Lin Yan almost choked on her own blood, as she struggled to find words to respond.
She had never encountered soone who could leave her speechless like this before.
She really wanted to open up Song Yuhangs skull and see if there was nothing but rules and regulations inside.
Despite looking only a few years older than her, why did she speak and act so rigidly and old-fashioned?
First of all, what I wear and how I wear it is my freedom, even if I am a police officer, no one has the right to interfere.
Yes, but within the police force, we must abide by our regulations.
Lin Yan coldly chuckled, standing up and looking at her. The face mask fell from her face, and she deliberately crumpled it into a ball and threw it at Song Yuhang, hitting her shoulder.
Her eyes were filled with a mocking expression, full of cynicism and malice.
I wont comply with them. What can you do about it? Are you going to hit or report ? Let tell you, the city governnt still owes my family construction fees. Do you know how many governnt officials in Binhai Province depend on my familys support? Try moving a finger against and see what happens.
The face mask fell to the ground by her feet.
The air beca heavy with silence.
Fang Xin was shocked and dared not even take a breath. For a mont, there was nothing but the quiet sound of their breathing and the ticking of the clock on the wall.
Song Yuhang took a gentle step forward.
Lin Yan didnt back down; she stared back at her intensely.
When Song Yuhang was about to take another step forward, she was firmly held back.
The inexperienced young girl looked brave and resolute, as if she was prepared to sacrifice herself heroically: Officer Song, please dont, stop it!
Lin Yan subtly swallowed a gulp of saliva.
The person across from her gently pursed their lips, almost making her think it was an illusion.
Dont be nervous, I wont hit you. I just feel that since you are not interested, you should give the position to soone else who needs it more.
With one sentence, Miss Lin was infuriated again: Whos nervous?! Whos nervous?! Which eye of yours saw being nervous?!!
After her furious outburst, the room fell into complete silence, and even Fang Xin couldnt help but burst into laughter, quickly covering her mouth.
You swallowed a gulp of saliva just now, your right hand clenched into a fist, toes turned outward, your whole body tensed up, and your jaw lightly twitched. Its a defensive posture. If I were to attack, you would retaliate, but youre not sure if you can win, so you didnt strike first.
I f***ing I Lin Yan was so angry that she rolled her eyes, spouting incoherent words and almost foaming at the mouth. She grabbed a copy of Forensic dicine and lunged at Song Yuhang.
Fang Xin tightly held her back. Stop, Lin Jie, dont do it! You cant beat her. Officer Song is always the top in the yearly military training!
Items on the table scattered all over the floor, but Song Yuhang took a step back, completely unhard.
She took out a stack of neatly wrapped RMB from her pocket and placed it on the table: Here, take it back. Dont exceed the speed limit in the city from now on.
I Lin Yan grabbed another book and threw it at her.
Song Yuhang slightly tilted her head, avoiding it as she wiped her face, no longer saying much, and turned to leave.
Lin Yan wanted to chase after her, but Fang Xin firmly held her back.
She had never been so furious in her life. Even when she was a mischievous six-year-old, she had beaten Lin Cheng to the point of losing teeth. Later, although she had also suffered punishnt from her stepmother, as a mber of the Lin family, she naturally carried an aura of superiority. Who dared to advise her otherwise?
People either kept their distance or eagerly fawned over her.
For the first ti in her life, she felt a sense of defeat from another woman. The last ti she felt like this was nearly twenty years ago.
After Song Yuhang left, Fang Xin carefully brought her a cup of coffee. Lin Jie, dont be mad at Officer Song. Although she can be a bit rigid at tis, shes actually a very nice person
She must have her reasons for acting that way. Although Ive only recently joined the forensic departnt, Ive heard that the forr chief forensic doctor, who has passed away, was her long-ti partner and even a forr classmate. Hedied while on duty.
Although she may not say much and continues to work as usual, deep down, she must be more sorrowful than anyone else.
I Lin Ye wanted to say sothing, but her gaze fell on the desk in front of her. The moderately sized desktop was filled with traces of the deceased.
Forensic dicine books were scattered everywhere, a few sticky notes were placed on the computer screen, and there was a yellowed old photograph.
It was taken with a Polaroid cara, so the pixels werent very clear. The photo depicted two young people standing together, one of whom had just had a heated argunt with her.
At that ti, she was still young, wearing a brand new uniform, with a bright and clear expression, a faint smile on her lips, and two four-cornered stars adorning her shoulders.
It was a ti of youthful innocence.
Lin Yan pursed her lips and said, Forget it, Im a magnanimous person; I wont bother with her.
As Song Yuhang walked outside, she let out a sigh, thinking about what Feng Ju had just said.
Lin Yan is a stubborn and willful person, disregarding rules and regulations. If she didnt have so real ability, she wouldnt have been able to enter our city bureau. Just treat her as an external staff mber; she probably wont conform to our ways. I know you always see things clearly and cant tolerate any nonsense, but dont take it too much to heart.
For so reason, she felt that Feng Jus ntion of Lin Ye carried a hint of indulgence and helplessness.
Perhaps she was overthinking it.
Song Yuhang shook her head, turned around, and walked away briskly.
