At night, Song Xiaodong had a fierce battle with the won, leaving even him, Song Xiaodong, utterly exhausted.
The next day, Qiao Yutong called Song Xiaodong.
"Hey! Deputy Director Qiao, what do I owe the pleasure?"
"Drop dead!" Qiao Yutong was still quite temperantal.
"Wow, you're not calling just to insult , are you?" Song Xiaodong smiled wryly.
"Of course not, I... have sothing to discuss with you." Qiao Yutong's tone suddenly turned hesitant.
"Sothing to discuss?" Song Xiaodong's eyes lit up.
"Yeah, seven o'clock tonight, third floor of Lijing Pavilion."
"Alright."
When Song Xiaodong arrived, Qiao Yutong hadn't yet shown up.
After waiting a while, Qiao Yutong arrived, dressed in full police uniform, her top so busty that it looked like the buttons were about to burst.
"Sorry, there was a eting at the bureau that delayed ." Qiao Yutong sat down.
"Deputy Director Qiao, with your busy schedule of serving the people, you should balance work with leisure!" Song Xiaodong said while staring at the slightly strained buttons on her uniform.
"Stop calling
Deputy Director every ti." Qiao Yutong shot Song Xiaodong a glance.
"Why, afraid of being labeled now that you've got a promotion?" Song Xiaodong said.
"Don't even ntion it, I'm swamped, working overti and attending etings daily." Qiao Yutong leaned back in her chair, looking weary.
"Being a Deputy Director, it's natural to be busy. Your hard work gives us ordinary folks peace of mind!" Song Xiaodong said.
"You consider yourself an ordinary folk?" Qiao Yutong said, annoyed.
"I'm hungry, what should we eat?" Song Xiaodong asked.
"The vinegar fish at this place is especially good, let
treat you to it." Qiao Yutong said.
"Offering favors for no reason, either a villain or a thief!" Song Xiaodong suddenly blurted out a saying.
"What did you say?!" Qiao Yutong slamd the table, splashing water from the cups.
"Oh no, don't be angry, Deputy Director, just a joke, just a joke." Song Xiaodong had a flattering expression.
"Hmph, such unpleasant words!" Qiao Yutong glared at Song Xiaodong.
"Alright, alright, let
rephrase, Deputy Director Qiao usually engrossed in work, how co you have leisure to invite
out today?" Song Xiaodong said with a grin.
"That's more like it."
"I'm not actually free, a provincial anti-gang inspection team is coming to our city, we had etings at the bureau, these days will be a crackdown, just wanted to remind you not to get caught in the crossfire." Qiao Yutong said.
"Our Su Family's businesses are all legitimate, what does it have to do with an anti-gang crackdown." Song Xiaodong looked innocent.
"Don't play dumb with , everyone knows you, Song Xiaodong, reign over Minghe, could the Su Family's business grow so huge without so connections in the underworld?" Qiao Yutong said.
Song Xiaodong secretly felt a chill, this policewoman certainly wasn't just a pretty face, Deputy Director is earned for a reason, even though Song Xiaodong isn't involved, having the backing of big brothers helped his businesses run smoothly.
"Don't worry, our Su Family undoubtedly supports Deputy Director Qiao's work, won't cause any trouble these days." Song Xiaodong assured.
"That's good."
"Deputy Director Qiao rarely graces with presence, is it just for this small matter?" Song Xiaodong asked.
"Actually..." Qiao Yutong left her sentence hanging.
"There's sothing else I need your help with." Qiao Yutong said.
"What is it?"
"A few days ago, while you were away, there was a murder case in our Minghe City. A big shot in the underworld, who had been in jail for 15 years, was released, and three days later, his enemy was hacked to death. Now the whole city is locked down, the killer is in Minghe, suspected to be instigated by Zhou Tiannan, but we can't find the killer, so..." Qiao Yutong felt embarrassed.
"This case is my first major case since becoming Deputy Director, I hope to solve it before the inspection team arrives."
"Tell , what do you want
to do?" Song Xiaodong responded straightforwardly.
"I hope to use Mr. Song's connections to find the killer, to follow the trail and catch Zhou Tiannan." Qiao Yutong said.
"Finding people..." Song Xiaodong pondered deeply for a mont.
"Mr. Song, this case is of great importance to the bureau, I really need this case. If there's a murder during the inspection, I might lose my position!" Seeing Song Xiaodong's hesitation, Qiao Yutong sincerely requested his help again.
It was rare for Song Xiaodong to see such a good expression on Qiao Yutong's face.
"I'll ask around! However, you know, the Su Family doesn't have many ties with people on the street, so I'm not sure if I can help." Song Xiaodong gave a warning in advance.
"I know, I'm really desperate, busy preparing for the inspection team, all the police are on the streets, I'm really short on hands." Qiao Yutong said.
"Hmm, since Deputy Director Qiao asks for my help, of course, I want to help." Song Xiaodong glanced again at the gaps in Qiao Yutong's police uniform where the white shirt showed through.
A slight blush crossed Qiao Yutong's face.
"The killer's na is Zhou Kang, the victim's na was Li Yihai. Fifteen years ago, Zhou Tiannan committed murder during a gang fight, sentenced to fifteen years, released a week ago. Four days ago police were alerted, Li Yihai was found dead at ho, stabbed eight tis, showing signs of interrogation, witnesses recognized Zhou Kang, and there might be more developnts." Qiao Yutong briefed Song Xiaodong on the case.
"The killer's thods are brutal, and he might have been planning for years in prison, likely to strike again. The case fifteen years ago has been investigated, and several potential victims who were in the sa gang with Li Yihai have been protected."
