Chapter 7: Begging

Dark Small Medium Large Original Scroll to Bottom

Su Cheng was speechless, is this even possible? This seems like a sign that he is about to be dismissed. What is going on? He only had two bowls of noodles, and they were instant noodles.

These are all complete sets, all contained within the file folder. The bureau has already prepared everything for the five individuals who are willing to join the Mercury Retrograde Project.

You are tired, so you should go back and rest for today

Su Cheng was not too concerned about Zuo Luo's warning. He took the items and asked, "Aren't we still supposed to visit a few of the burglarized neighborhoods?"

Zuo Luo stopped and turned to look at Su Cheng: "I think you are tired, so it's settled."

Zuo Luo stated sternly: "No one is allowed to use police resources to achieve any personal objectives. The criminal police have already provided a complete video record."

"Is instant noodles acceptable?" the neighbor asked

Su Cheng pitifully asked, "Do you have anything to eat?"

Su Cheng got into the car and said, "Please go to the police academy." Although Zuo Luo did not think highly of him, he still had to work. The first issue was personnel; there were two men, he was afraid of getting dirty, while Zuo Luo was not. Someone had to take care of the office's cleanliness. If they couldn't find a professional detective to handle the cleaning, they could get a trainee. It would be best if it were a beautiful woman, pleasing to the eye; after all, they had to choose, and selecting someone pretty would be more justifiable for himself, right?

"Alright, goodbye." Su Cheng shook hands with the young woman and said, "By the way, could you please come to Group Z tomorrow at 9:30 AM to give a statement? We suspect this is the work of a serial thief, and the criminal police have transferred the case to our department"

The young woman was more than happy to take a jar of hand cream from her bedroom. Su Cheng reached out, squeezed a bit onto his hand, and with great professionalism, applied it to the back of his hand. Using the back of his other hand to touch it, he nodded and said, "Sister, this is not just hand cream; this is taste. Based on my years of experience, this must be Italian..." The packaging was in Italian.

Zuo Luo and Su Cheng entered the elevator. After the elevator started moving, they asked: "I didn't say I wanted to record my statement again"

Zuo Luo heard a noise and walked to the door, feeling suspicious. Could it be that Su Cheng suspects the neighbor of committing the crime? However, according to the autopsy report, the victim was attacked by a person over 1.75 meters tall and strong. Yet, Su Cheng is an apprentice and assistant to the most famous private detective in London; could there be another discovery?

The young woman was interrupted during her workout, dressed in a complete set of yellow fitness attire, a sleeveless top that slightly exposed her navel, paired with tight shorts. From the side, Su Cheng observed her, finding her allure to exceed eighty. While preparing instant noodles, the young woman remarked, "Although you police officers are very busy with your work, you still need to eat."

I am not tired," Su Cheng said, "I just had two bowls of instant noodles, and now I feel very energetic

Zuo Luo felt her face burning; indeed, she wanted Su Cheng to understand that he should not be a procrastinator. Therefore, Zuo Luo insisted on waiting until the scene was inspected before purchasing food, wanting Su Cheng to recognize what was most important and to understand her way of doing things. However, she never expected that Su Cheng, dressed in a suit worth over 20,000 RMB, would actually use a police ID to beg for money. Zuo Luo felt an impulse to strangle Su Cheng and then throw him back into the detention center. Look at the beggar; at least he is asking for money, yet you are begging for food.

The driver looked at Su Cheng for a while and replied: "No."

Goodbye

"Difficult to get along with... Should I add some chili powder?" the young woman asked as she tore open the instant noodle package

I will show it to you

Zuo Luo and the young woman were stunned for more than three seconds, but it was the young woman who reacted first, quickly saying: "Yes, yes, please come in"

Su Cheng stood up, shook hands with the young woman, and asked in surprise, "What health supplement are you using? Your skin feels so good"

"The Z department?" The young woman was quite surprised, and then nodded: "Of course, that is possible"

Su Cheng took the item and was about to check the address when Zuo Luo took out an envelope: "This is your salary for the first month, totaling 8,000 yuan. Your domestic account has been completely frozen. I didn't want to mention this, but it is imperative to state that you must not use your identification to deceive or commit fraud; otherwise, you can expect to spend a long time in prison"

Su Cheng raised his left hand, the back of which was adorned with hand cream: "Let's chat, since the seventh group has nothing going on, and my sister is both beautiful and sexy."

Su Cheng came out of the bathroom feeling refreshed, and he quickly dug into the noodles with great appetite. Upon seeing Su Cheng's voracious eating, the woman made another bowl, adding two sausages, which deeply moved Su Cheng. The pace of eating the second bowl of noodles noticeably slowed down as Su Cheng and the woman began to chat. Su Cheng was not particularly interested in the case; they were just making small talk.

Of course

Su Cheng did not understand the concept of politeness at all and asked, "May I use the restroom?" Although some requests were rather inappropriate, it cannot be denied that Su Cheng was still very polite

Su Cheng lamented: "It's not that I don't want to eat, it's just that my partner is so stubborn. I just partnered with him today, and because we delayed a bit of time, he gave me a hard time."

Su Chengdao: "No matter what it is, this item cannot be obtained for less than 300 dollars. May I see what brand it is? The texture is wonderful; is it hand cream?"

Isn't it embarrassing enough? Zuo Luo really dislikes Su Cheng now; this guy shows no intention of being helpful at all

I ... ...

Zuo Luo got into the car without looking back and drove away. Su Cheng, feeling helpless, hailed a taxi and showed his credentials, asking: "I am a police officer, can I waive the fare?"

Hello, I am a police officer. Su Cheng held up the fake ID badge he wore on his chest for the neighbor to see, explaining that it was a fake ID because it clearly stated his consultant status and did not grant him any police authority. However, who would bother to check? Moreover, with the seal torn open and an investigation still ongoing, who would doubt Su Cheng's identity

The young woman, filled with joy, replied: "It was brought back by my husband from abroad"

Su Chengdao: "Should I go back and talk to her?"

"Sure, sure, thank you, thank you." Su Chengtian, unashamed, sat down as if it were second nature, took the water, and began to scrutinize the neighbor's room.

Group Seven, goodbye

"Indeed. " the young woman exclaimed, "My husband does business in Italy, and you police officers really know a lot."

The elevator opened, and Zuo Luo walked out while taking out a key and a note: "This is the accommodation arranged for you in advance. Go there yourself. Also, this is your phone. Remember the contract you signed. Unless under special circumstances, you are not allowed to use any communication tools other than this phone, leave A city, or take off the watch. Your luggage has been delivered to your accommodation." As he spoke, he handed over the phone. "Also, this is your phone. Remember the contract you signed. Unless under special circumstances, you are not allowed to use any communication tools other than this phone, leave A city, or take off the watch. Your luggage has been delivered to your accommodation." As he spoke, he handed over the phone.

Zuo Luo no longer wished to converse with Su Cheng; if it were not for Su Cheng's mention of the Ghost Team, Zuo Luo would have wanted him to leave immediately, to return to the detention center.

As both doors were left open, although the scene had been thoroughly inspected, Zuo Luo was reluctant to come out. Su Cheng was quite eloquent, and his flattering words made the young woman beam with joy, to the point where she almost wanted to prepare another bowl of instant noodles for him. In the end, Zuo Luo could no longer hold back and walked to the door, saying: "We are leaving." He closed the door to the scene, reaffixed the seal, and signed.

Su Cheng has not answered yet, and was held by Zuo Luo's shoulder. Zuo Luo forced out a little smile and looked at Su Cheng, saying, "We are leaving."
