Chapter 05: Disputes are Inevitable

"Good, you have your own opinions. Your skills in trace examination will definitely find application in the field." Xu Pingqiu praised, which delighted the girl named Yi Min, who did not expect to receive such commendation from a superior.

Oh, there seems to be a hidden story, then I won't ask any further. Xu Pingqiu said generously, which made the mouse feel quite dejected. However, Xu Pingqiu continued, "I just reviewed your detailed personal profile; your ranking in your major subject is 91, and your rankings in physical fitness and shooting are even lower."

Oh no..." A girl exclaimed, startled like a frightened fawn, her arms curling protectively around her chest

Oh dear. The mouse straightened its back as if in pain, feeling quite encouraged, and gratefully said: "Xu, if you were my teacher, I might have become an elite by now"

Several classmates were laughing and joking. Their performance was average, and they often failed to meet the physical fitness standards. Having been at the bottom of the class for many years, they had developed this sense of resignation. Unexpectedly, Xu Pingqiu did not laugh; instead, he said seriously: "You are mistaken. The more shortcomings one has, the more advantages are concealed within them. As the saying goes, 'Everyone has their own talents.' There are strengths and weaknesses in everything; you must have extraordinary strengths, but you just have not discovered them yet"

This ... ... mouse has become taciturn

Why go to a psychiatric hospital

With a sneer, Yu Zui leaned back, executing a cross-body martial arts move that intercepted Zhang Meng's outstretched hand. Then, he shifted his position and slipped away like an eel, running down the classroom corridor. Zhang Meng, furious, chased after him, while the rest of the class continued with their activities, indifferent to the familiar scuffle. Some even added fuel to the fire, clapping and stomping their feet, shouting:

"Not certain," the mouse shook its head and said

I have already contacted the relevant organization for my family. My parents have only one daughter, and they do not want me to go too far away.

In fact, the pain from the injury was hardly felt; he gently touched his elbow, and the sensation from earlier was soft and elastic, almost intoxicating him.

"How shameless!" another person named Ye Qiaoling scolded

"What a joke, the girls from Shanda and the boys from Gongda, the delinquents from the police academy are running rampant in the streets. How can we produce any elites in this place?" Yu Zui said

Having said that, without waiting for the girls to react, he took off running. The two girls behind were jumping up and down, cursing loudly, their expressions completely changed, their faces filled with anger. When they had no place to vent their frustration, Zhang Meng, this honest boy, became an innocent victim, as the two girls pointed at him and scolded him.

As soon as the person left, Old Xu began to inquire. The first was a female student. He looked at the list and asked, "Is it Classmate Yi Min? I am very curious, why didn't you sign up? Can you tell me the real reason?"

Seeing Xu Pingqiu's smiling eyes, the mouse could no longer maintain its composure and awkwardly said, "Director Xu, since you already know, there is no need to state it explicitly, is there"

There was no surveillance; instead, the suspect was directly identified based on profiling, and his home was located. This method of solving cases by analyzing the behavioral patterns of suspects through profiling started later for us compared to the West, but we are not inferior to them. This year, two criminal investigation experts from our provincial department received invitations from the International Criminal Police Organization in Lyon, France, to exchange and learn. One day, it is possible that one of you may also become such an elite. Xu Pingqiu remarked, intentionally or unintentionally stirring interest, discussing the benefits of working in the provincial capital and the potential honors that could be gained, which ignited the youthful enthusiasm of the young trainees. At this moment, everyone’s face showed a hint of regret, feeling as if not participating in the selection was a significant mistake, almost to the point of despair.

Zhang Meng, known as "the livestock," is a typical strongman from Yanbei. His neck, shoulders, and waist all appear robust, and he often shows off his muscular physique. This is how he earned the nickname "livestock." However, he is an honest man, resolutely stating: "Yes, I wrote it like that. If it weren't for my mother pushing me to take the police academy entrance exam, I wouldn't have come here. If I hadn't come here, I would have almost become a coal boss."

What happened to recruiting elites? It's a good thing. Zhang Meng disagreed.

"You shameless person, do you think everyone in the world is despicable and shameless, right? You even bully girls." Zhang Meng refrained from making a move, seemingly wanting to reason with Yu Zui. However, unexpectedly, when Yu Zui turned around, his expression became serious, and he lowered his voice, saying: "Beast, what do I have to say openly? Unlike some people who dream of calling An Jialu. What, did I accidentally bump into you, and now you're feeling hurt?"

Even if they are underachievers, they should still have some aspirations! Both individuals seem to want to make amends, yet they find it difficult to broach the subject, and they are uncertain if there will be another opportunity

After putting on a show for a while, Yu Zui realized that the beast was also one of An Jialu's admirers, which was purely intentional, provoking Zhang Meng to furrow his brows and glare. If it weren't for the instructor and the two recruits, he would have likely chased after Yu Zui to fight again. The two rushed into the classroom and, as usual, sat in the corner of the last row. Zhang Meng, this innocent little beast, occasionally glanced at An Jialu, looking genuinely pained. However, when he saw her whispering with Xie Bing, he couldn't help but sigh in frustration. This demeanor was naturally noticed by Yu Zui, Mouse, and Dou Bao, who couldn't help but chuckle.

The mouse felt very dejected, and the bean bag was also quite disheartened. They were scratching their ears and cheeks, looking at each other. The two of them had been cooperating well at the card table, and at this moment, they were in sync, exchanging ideas through subtle gestures. The mouse's implication was: listening to the director's accent, it seemed like there was a chance of winning a prize; the bean bag's response was: but we haven't even registered our names, what should we do

Oh dear..." Yu Zui also deliberately exclaimed, preparing to unleash his anger first. However, upon seeing that it was An Jialu he had bumped into, he was struck by her sudden, flustered reaction as she instinctively protected her chest. This sight stirred something in Yu Zui's heart, and he, like a startled fawn, curled his arms and exclaimed: "Does it hurt a lot?"

"Letter." Yu Zui nodded slightly, momentarily taken aback by the imposing gaze of those almond-shaped eyes and the frosty beauty of her delicate face. She resolutely said, "Why look for someone else? It would be much better if you did it yourself; then it would be under the police academy's flower's death."

"Who... who felt heartache?" Zhang Meng tried to cover it up, but it was somewhat obvious. Yu Zui chuckled, curling his arms and rubbing his chest, and whispered, "Oh, not heartbroken... then do you want to know how it felt when I bumped into that place? Oh, it was so soft, really elastic"

Come, students, please sit in the front

"Your awareness is so low that it only exists in your words; can you not speak without suffocating yourself?" Yu Zui said unhappily. These two brothers were good in every way, except for their incessant chatter. Over there, Dou Bao was about to speak, but Yu Zui was quick; he tore a piece of paper, crumpled it up, and directly stuffed it into Dou Bao's mouth.

Xu Pingqiu had seen off his companions, leaving him alone. The remaining eleven, who had not registered, seemed somewhat reluctant as they were summoned to sit in the front row with books and materials. Xu Pingqiu glanced over them: two females and nine males, among whom was the boy who had left a rather strange impression on him. He had noticed the earlier act of tearing paper to silence someone, and instinctively felt that this guy was a troublemaker. Now, sitting closer and observing, even with his experience as an old criminal investigator, he found it difficult to accurately describe the boy's physical features. The earlier act of tearing paper to silence someone had caught his attention, and he instinctively felt that this guy was a troublemaker. Now, sitting closer and observing, even with his experience as an old criminal investigator, he found it difficult to accurately describe the boy's physical features, or rather, these features could not be called distinctive—crew cut, average height, eyebrows neither thick nor thin, eyes neither large nor small, nose neither high nor low, lacking any notable characteristics, completely unlike the two beside him, who both had a bit of baby fat and looked quite cheerful.

There is not a single good person in your criminal investigation team

"It's nothing." Yu Zui held the room card, eager to run out.

You never know how the debates among classmates happen, but every time there is a similar process, it is enough to make you laugh heartily for quite a while. Zhang Meng's skin is not as thick as Yu Zui's; he felt embarrassed to return to the classroom and decided to go downstairs to catch up with Yu Zui. However, just as he reached the entrance, Yu Zui came running up, pulling Zhang Meng along as he said, "Hurry up, the instructor is coming. It's really damn frustrating; they keep delaying the holiday and recruiting all these elites."

"It's over, you have no connection with the elite; how can anyone become elite if they are just born from a mother?" The mouse, joining in the commotion, mocked the livestock. Zhang Meng, with his clumsy mouth, felt that something was off about this remark and couldn't come up with a rebuttal. Unexpectedly, the more cunning Yu Zui spoke up from behind, smiling as he asked, "Livestock, are you about to make a fool of yourself?"

We are ordinary people, while they are the abnormal ones. If you do not delve into the mindset of the abnormal, you will never know when they might strike again. Based on extensive analyses by mental health experts, can you guess how our criminal investigators operate?

Ah, wait a moment. Yu Zui reached out and stopped the two girls. They were not from the same class, but the female students from the police academy had an inherent advantage. As he blocked them, the two girls glared defiantly and said, "What’s the matter, do you want to practice?"

"Hmph, just you wait." An Jialu understood that with this shameless boy, the more you scold him, the more spirited he becomes. With a huff, she tossed her head and entered the classroom. The two girls who came with her, her close friends cultivated by An Meinv, exchanged a glance with Yi Min and scolded, "Yu Zui, you really have a thick skin, don't you? You could be used as target paper; bullets can't penetrate you."

With a precedent set, the subsequent matters became easier to discuss and arrange. The four individuals are children of public security officials and were granted admission without examination, while the other three have already secured their paths. Regardless of the reasons, all of them received praise from Old Xu, either for demonstrating independent thought or for being encouraged for their promising futures. Mouse and Doubao were somewhat taken aback; weren't they supposed to select elites? Why was there such special interest in those who were not elites, to the point of excessive praise?

Really? No way? Doubao no longer believes it

As Xu Pingqiu entered, he got straight to the point. The moment the chaotic sound of footsteps echoed, the classroom was nearly empty in the blink of an eye, with some individuals glancing back with a sense of pride as they left. The mouse felt dumbfounded, and at that moment, he felt somewhat uncomfortable standing out from the crowd. He complained to Yu Zui, saying: "Look, I told you to go with the flow, but you insisted on being different. Now you’ll say we lack awareness and ambition."

Wow, how shameless! Even Zhang Meng, who is known for being brazen, turned red in the face. The students in the front row saw it and immediately burst into laughter. An Jialu was infuriated, her pretty face turning cold as she scolded, "Yu Zui, are you doing this on purpose? Do you believe I can have someone take you out?"

"No, no, I mean how do you know that your faces can serve as target paper?" Yu Zui suddenly asked, leaving the two girls momentarily stunned. Yu Zui then smiled and said, "No wonder your faces look as if they've been shot at, it's quite a sight to behold."

Finally, it was Xu Pingqiu's turn to change positions, sitting next to the mouse, and kindly asked: "Classmate Yan Debiao, what about you? Is your direction also determined?"

"Is that really how you wrote it? Are you just bragging?" Dou Bao did not believe it and stared intently at Zhang Meng

Hi, beast, hit him

I can still deceive you. Your principal, Wang Lan, was my disciplinary director back in the day, and he certainly kept me in check... At that time, it was much stricter than now. The area behind the cafeteria at the police academy was a confinement zone for those who made mistakes; they would first be locked up to write self-reflections. I was confined more than once... Yet, I am still a good police officer now, right? By the way, my physical fitness is not as good as yours. One aspect is experience, which is gradually accumulated in real life, and the other is your intellect. You don't need to have a very high IQ, but you must think along the same lines as the criminals; you will definitely be able to catch them... Do you remember the serial killer who caused a sensation across the province three years ago? That suspect left the police in our provincial capital helpless. After I took over, I didn't set up a blockade; instead, I spent over three months visiting mental hospitals throughout the province.

Upon being asked during the recruitment, "Why did you become a police officer?" the response was simply: "Because of your mother." Yu Zui said with a stern face, and the room erupted in laughter. The mouse laughed the hardest, his cheeks trembling with mirth. In a moment of distraction, he bumped heads with Dou Bao, and the two began to exchange punches. The laughter from the audience grew even louder. Zhang Meng's face turned red with anger as he jumped up, grabbing Yu Zui and shouting fiercely, "Yu Zui, I will strangle you to death." The laughter continued, with the audience thoroughly entertained.

Xu Pingqiu spoke in a captivating manner, resonating with the hearts of all the students present. Pairs of eager and envious eyes blinked in anticipation, and many instinctively asked, "So how do we go about it?"

Students, this afternoon I had a conversation with your guidance director. For those who have signed up, we will gather to watch several recordings of major case investigations. This is not just for viewing; after watching, each person is required to write a reflection in the evening. There are no specific requirements; you may express your thoughts freely. You can discuss the merits and demerits of the investigative techniques, analyze from the perspective of criminal psychology, or focus on prevention and control. Please stand up and follow Director Shi to the multimedia classroom. Who is the class monitor? Lead the group... For those who have not signed up, please stay in the classroom.

As the students laughed, Xu Pingqiu kindly took the mouse and said, "Being an elite in the criminal police force is not just about having good grades, accurate shooting, and strong physical abilities. I wasn't a great student myself; I even faced disciplinary action and was nearly removed from the police force."

"This classmate, could you do me a favor?" Xu Pingqiu played a trick, reached into his pocket, took out the room card, and handed it to the standing Yu Zui, saying: "Go to the guesthouse, Room 201, and bring me my handbag... I appreciate your trouble."

Zhang Meng circled around the podium, and despite several attempts to catch the slippery Yu Zui, he either dodged or deflected Zhang Meng's strength with ease. The two were originally training partners in combat, and the tall and strong Zhang Meng had lost more often than he had won, never having accepted defeat against Yu Zui. In a fit of urgency, Yu Zui once again twisted Zhang Meng's wrist, playfully pinched his face, and with a mischievous grin, opened the door and ran out of the classroom. However, in his haste, he collided with someone at the door with a loud bang.

"Then why give up this opportunity?" Xu Pingqiu asked

"What a farce, I am speaking the truth, what farce is there?" Zhang Meng was indignant.
