Until today, Chen Xiao.
Has gradually started to understand the appearance ti of the calendar.
It does not appear only on special days.
Rather, it appears in Chen Xiao's mind on days that aren't special.
Every appearance also ans a new reward will co.
As of now, Chen Xiao.
Possesses abilities like sophistry, capture, construction, killing, sculpting, gold-picking drill, theft.
Yet on a major consumption day, whether it's favorable or unfavorable, Chen Xiao can't seem to connect it to any ability.
In the favorable column, there are sacrificial rituals, bathing, repairing walls, leveling paths, avoiding other activities.
In the taboos, many major life events are included.
Chen Xiao can't keenly sense which one it might be.
So rather than overthinking it himself, it's better to wait quietly.
Soon, the word "bathing" in the favorable column stood out.
These two words ca completely unexpected to Chen Xiao.
No matter how he thinks about it, he can't relate these words to an ability.
Bathing, simply put, is taking a shower!
Enhancing Chen Xiao's showering skills?
Just thinking about it makes Chen Xiao's mouth twitch uncontrollably.
But then, maybe he's very good at helping Lin Xi bathe?
This doesn't seem too bad.
But still, how can this be considered an ability!
Is he, a dignified detective, going to switch careers to beco a master of scrubbing?
Chen Xiao believes the calendar wouldn't ss around like that; soon he regained his rationality.
One previous ability was the gold-picking drill.
Acquiring this ability aningfully opened the door to forensic science for Chen Xiao.
But entry-level compared to mastery is worlds apart.
So, does bathing imply cleaning and washing?
When cleaning a cri scene, discovering things that ordinary people cannot find, thus echoing the power of capture?
And when the corpse is cleaned up, resonating with the gold-picking drill?
Chen Xiao believes that's likely the logic behind it.
Yet for now, he cannot test whether his idea is correct.
Firstly, he can't inspect new corpses.
Secondly, he has already planned to return to Dongzhou.
If he continues to tackle new cases in Shencheng City, his plan will definitely be disrupted.
Thinking about this, Chen Xiao decided to leave it alone.
Feeling sleepless, he made a video call to Lin Xi.
It's just that, unbeknownst to him, a phone call was made back to Dongzhou this deep night.
But the person who answered wasn't Lin Xi, it was Zhang Xian.
This call was made by Zhang Xian's teacher, Han Zai.
When Zhang Xian answered the call, he respectfully asked:
"Teacher, why are you calling
so late? Aren't you recently conducting your study program?"
Han Zai never held overly important positions within the police force.
His lifelong police career shows that he was mainly engaged in teaching.
"My affairs can wait for the mont. I wanted to ask about Chen Xiao's recent activities. I heard he's been busy setting up a food market in Dongzhou with Old Guo, and planning to build so kind of lobster base. Is he very busy?"
Hearing this, Zhang Xian couldn't help but smile wryly: "Teacher, if you want to know about him, why don't you reach out to him directly?"
"I don't know about acting proactively. But if I did, Chen Xiao surely wouldn't refuse ; he might even put his things aside to help
first. That's sothing I don't want to see."
Realizing this, Zhang Xian said: "I see. He's in Shencheng City recently. However, it seems things are done there, and Xiaoxi has returned to Dongzhou today."
"Does he have any plans next?"
"I heard from Liang Yan that he might return to Dongzhou tomorrow afternoon or midday, and then intend to visit Xiaoxi's family."
"I see... let's forget it then; everyone has their own life, and I shouldn't disturb him just because I'm interested."
After Han Zai spoke, Zhang Xian pondered briefly: "Teacher, did you run into sothing?"
"Not really, oh by the way... where is his in-law's family?"
"Yangguan County."
"Then no need for
to call him; Yangguan County Bureau might reach out to him, given his huge reputation in Dongzhou!"
Zhang Xian remarked: "From what you're saying, it sounds a bit tricky?!"
"I haven't encountered much, but my intuition tells
there's sothing peculiar. Yet if Chen Xiao cos, it might be much simpler."
"Alright then, if he arrives in Yangguan County, he's sure to hear the buzz. That guy would love nothing more than delve into cases every day!"
Han Zai chuckled: "I don't quite see it that way. From what I understand, if others told
this, I'd mostly believe them. But hearing it from you, Zhang Xian, I always feel Chen Xiao might turn out the opposite of what you're saying!"
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
Zhang Xian was adamant; Han Zai chuckled again, then said: "Alright, I'll go think it over with Yue Kai. Your current role as deputy chief differs much from being the head of the criminal police team, do your best!"
"Do what you can, leave the rest to fate. By the way, I have sothing I'd like to discuss with you."
"Speak."
"Since I left the Hongshan Branch, naturally Liang Yan took over my responsibilities as team leader. However, our branch is still missing a deputy team leader. I would like to recomnd Xiaoxi, but you know her shortcoming; do you think I should step up to handle this?"
Zhang Xian has his own concerns.
It's not that he is unwilling to step up.
He's afraid if he rushes to promote Lin Xi, it might cause dissatisfaction among others.
After pondering briefly, Han Zai replied: "Lin Xi's shortcoming indeed lies in her seniority, but her personal abilities should be sufficient. We all know Chen Xiao shines brightly, yet Lin Xi's work capabilities are clearly recognized by everyone in your branch."
"Therefore, in my humble opinion, if you want to consider your own situation, you must wholeheartedly strive to secure the deputy team leader position for Lin Xi. Furthermore, previously, Guo Zhengchang from the Provincial City intentionally requested Lin Xi's accompanint for his investnt in Dongzhou, which for her serves as a subtly yet undeniably valuable resu."
"I think this is sothing you can attempt without worrying too much. Success is great, but even if unsuccessful, it won't hurt you significantly."
Zhang Xian felt reassured: "With your advice, I'm much more confident. Sotis, couples working in harmony can be so powerful!"
"Do as you see fit; they truly are miracles within their fields!"
"Let's not speak too much of them; the more one thinks, the less real it feels. Who can be such a perfect match?"
Han Zai laughed heartily: "Alright, I won't keep you any longer. When Chen Xiao reaches Yangguan County, I'll gauge his interest; if he isn't inclined, I'll wait to contact him later!"
The teacher and student hung up after their conversation.
anwhile, Chen Xiao and Lin Xi were enjoying a sweet video mont between husband and wife!
