Chapter 2: Return to the Office

"Take off your shoes, the snow on them has melted. Warm them up, and while you're at it, warm your feet too; we can't let the cold weather freeze our feet." The boss looked at Lu Ling and said, "Now conditions are better, it's warm inside during winter. When we were young, many of us suffered from frostbite on our hands and feet."

After roasting for a while, the phone powered on. Lu Ling still thought there might be some missed calls or messages, but there was nothing. He had no choice but to call the Su Ying Town Police Station again.

Lu Ling once studied this type of crime, for example, some offenders initially had no intention of committing a violent act; they merely intended to find a job. However, upon encountering a particularly attractive solitary woman in a secluded area, they suddenly become aroused and commit a crime of passion, and afterwards, they are very likely to continue killing

The boss did not lift the lid of the stove, but directly placed the kettle on top. A "hissing" sound emerged from beneath the kettle, and then the boss took two or three steps to the store's entrance. Looking outside, he said to Lu Ling: "This is nothing to worry about; it's just a drunkard from the village who has come to buy more alcohol. We cannot sell it to him; if he drinks too much, he might freeze to death."

If this car thief discovers that there is a child inside the car ... Lu Ling easily empathized with the suspect's emotions, and immediately, he envisioned a very bad outcome

"I won't talk to you anymore, I need to attend to the public first." This person directly interrupted Lu Ling's words and hung up the phone after finishing.

The officer answering the phone is still the same female police officer: "You will have to wait a bit longer. I am the only one left at the front desk, and I cannot leave. Otherwise, I would drive my car to pick you up."

This left Lu Ling somewhat puzzled, in charge of household registration?

Lu Ling is a social recruit, and this year he is already 25 years old, having graduated with a master's degree in personality psychology

What case is this about? Lu Ling was somewhat puzzled

Lu Ling found this operation amusing, and then he warmed himself by the fire before slowly starting to drink water. He felt that his body was gradually becoming his own again, but his feet were becoming increasingly itchy

Before coming here, he asked some people, and they all said that there are not many issues at the local police station. What is going on today? What kind of matters at the police station could cause such a mobilization

"Alright," Lu Ling nodded, accepting the reasoning...

Is there a bus to the town in the village?" Lu Ling immediately asked

The crime scene is located in Linan County, which is only a few dozen kilometers away from here, thus Dong'an County quickly initiated actions as well

This is? "Are you having guests at home tonight?" Lu Ling was somewhat puzzled

In the event of such a case, Lu Ling could not possibly urge the police station. He stood by the window looking outside, hoping to catch a glimpse of the vehicle associated with the case passing by, which could be considered as a preliminary effort in his work.

Is there only one household registration officer left

His mentor values him highly and told him that if he wants to advance further, he could become a criminal police officer

Lu Linggang was about to refuse, but seeing his boss's sincere demeanor, he did not directly decline. He decided that if he were to eat here, he would leave some money for the boss. His time in Northeast China had been too short, and he did not have a good understanding of the local culture.

The individuals from the same training session in Liaodong City have formed a WeChat group, where they engage in lively discussions every day

What are you looking at over there? What's the matter, is that person buying alcohol back again? The uncle returned to this room and walked towards the shelves

The vehicle is a four-wheel drive Toyota SUV, equipped with snow tires. The thief opened the car door, got in, and drove away, and at that moment, no one reacted. Moreover, the thief quickly drove the car to the outskirts of the city where there are no surveillance cameras, and it is currently unknown where they have gone.

The temperature is too low, and surveillance can only be conducted by vehicle units, making it impossible to ensure that all small paths have police presence. The current arrangements are already the result of our utmost efforts

"Hey? Why is your phone left here? It's too close, don't let it get burned," the boss said as he moved the stool aside, then picked up the kettle, and with the other hand grabbed an iron rod. He placed the stove cover on the ground and poked the coal inside with the iron rod, feeling that it didn't need to be changed yet, and then placed the kettle back on top.

Within the Six Gates, one can cultivate well

The boss looked at Lu Ling and nodded in satisfaction: "I will go inside to tidy up the stove. If no one comes to pick it up later, just manage a meal here with me."

In the event of such a sudden case, not to mention the police station, even the county bureau is under significant pressure, and no one will pay attention to him; at this point, this is the only approach that can be taken

After hanging up the phone, Lu Ling opened the WeChat group, only to find that the conversation in the group was lively and bustling.

This is a case of automobile theft, but the incident is quite serious

"No, no, I can do it myself!" Lu Ling felt a bit embarrassed, took off his shoes by himself, placed them beside the fire to dry, and then brought his own feet closer to the stove. Only then did he feel the warmth, but it was too itchy, and he felt too shy to scratch.

"Oh, it's nothing, it's nothing," Lu Ling felt that this was not very elegant

"Every morning, I go out to buy things. I can easily flag down a vehicle for you, so you need not worry," the uncle said, as he picked up a few salted duck eggs.

Today there is no show, the snow is not heavy, this kind of light snow falls slowly. Our Liaodong City, being close to the sea and backed by the Changbai Mountains, experiences considerable snowfall every year. I estimate it will last at least until noon tomorrow. The boss stood on a chair and took a bottle of dusty liquor from the back of the shelf, saying: "Let me tell you, this is a good thing, a genuine local grain liquor, over 60 degrees. After drinking this, you won't feel cold."

Currently, the police in several counties have deployed all available personnel to conduct manual monitoring of the main roads, and naturally, the township police stations are no exception

There is a two-month-old child in the car

Certainly, even within the same group, it can generally be divided into two factions: one part consists of police academy students, while the other part comprises students admitted through social recruitment

The case is quite simple. This morning at around 9 o'clock, a woman parked her car in front of a store and went inside to buy a few items. It was one of those ordinary small shops, just a few steps away, and the woman did not turn off the engine or lock the car.

Aren't you just a guest? Looking at the situation in your unit, it seems like something significant might have happened. You newcomers, the unit doesn't seem to value you much. After you finish your meal, there will be a bus to the town from the village early tomorrow morning. I will flag one down for you, and you can just go along with it. " The uncle said, casually taking two hams from the shelf.

I also do not know, truly do not know, I am just someone who manages household registration. How about this, if they cannot come back, I will finish work at 5 o'clock and drive to pick you up, you can sit there for a while longer.

What are you being polite for? In the village, who cares about these things? Listen to me, just warm up your shoes a bit, don't fuss over the details. Saying this, the owner was about to take off Lu Ling's shoes himself

Ah? Thank you very much, but...

What kind of case could this be

At that moment, a man suddenly appeared, jumped into the car, and drove it away

Today is the first day of reporting, and the vast majority of people are still at the county bureau waiting for assignments, but several counties have already heard about this case

"I definitely have to go today," Lu Ling said as he looked at the uncle preparing so many things. He quickly stopped the uncle and asked, "By the way, uncle, are there any taxis in the village? I know there aren't any dedicated taxis, but is there anyone's car that can take me? I'll pay them to give me a ride."

It is indeed not advisable to drink too much on this day. Lu Ling expressed his understanding; having just experienced more than half an hour of "flash freezing," he comprehended how terrifying this weather could be: "Is it alright for him not to be allowed in, being from your own village?"

"No, I am just taking a look. Uncle, when do you think this snow will stop?" Lu Ling glanced at his watch; it was already three o'clock in the afternoon.

"He doesn't have a mask, so he can't come in," the boss said casually

This is a typical crime of passion, which generally cannot be premeditated by an ordinary person. The characteristics of crimes of passion include a lack of premeditation and a response to situational stimuli, leading to a loss of self-control. The momentary stimulation causes the perpetrator to experience a sense of excitement; some may stop after achieving their goal, while others may find it difficult to control their excitement, resulting in even greater tragedies.
