Chapter 166 Trainee Detective 4
"broken!"
The moment those two words landed, the older sister felt she could stay up for two more all-nighters.
Looking at Director Gao's gleaming eyes, it wouldn't be a problem for these two to keep writing reports all night.
Director Gao was just asking casually. As the deputy director in charge of criminal investigation, he should have been present at the scene of the murder.
However, the previous serial murder case had been stuck for two months, to the point where we had to ask a higher-ups for help.
During this time, while urging the exhausted criminal police officers in the special task force, he also took care of Da Niu, and could only temporarily put aside this case that would not result in any more deaths, listening to Shi Yi's remote reports.
At noon, they said it was a bit tricky, but it broke by the afternoon?
"Great, well done!" Director Gao grinned. "Now I'm relieved. Team Leader Shi did a great job!"
Although he has a bad temper and is stubborn, he is really capable of doing great things!
The older sister smiled slightly: "We have to thank Director Xiang for this."
Director Gao was taken aback. Was it about Xiang Ke again?
Wasn't he always in the dissection room?
"We only determined the time of death; the actual assessment was done by the frontline officers," Xiang Ke said calmly, regaining his composure.
For a forensic doctor like him who is used to solving cases, this kind of thing is indeed not particularly important.
Director Gao hissed: "Only someone like you could be so indifferent to this kind of thing."
He was also on the front lines, so he naturally knew the impact of misjudging the time of death on solving cases. Now, Xiang Ke's casual remark could be said to have freed up dozens or even hundreds of hours of investigation time.
"However, your team leader Shi is also quite good." He then changed the subject, praising the donkey pulling the millstone: "Being able to quickly detect the problem from this information is a skill in itself!"
The eldest sister patted Ling Yi on the shoulder: "You don't know this, it's all thanks to my little Ling!"
"When Director Xiang made his assessment, he realized that this young woman might be able to use smart home technology to blur the lines of time." The older sister had no desire for promotion, but she wouldn't let the newcomer's promotion opportunity slip away, so she naturally had to give Ling Yi a big thumbs up in front of the director.
"We immediately pinned the deceased's husband down, and in less than three minutes the coward confessed everything!"
"Really?" Director Gao was genuinely surprised. This young man, who had just joined and probably hadn't even figured out the work process, could solve cases?
The older woman gave a disdainful smile: "How could that be fake? She left work on time today, without writing any reports!"
Director Gao was filled with respect: "That is indeed true."
Young people who don't write reports must have some real skills!
"Xiao...Xiao Ling, right?" He slapped his bald head, a sudden idea flashing in his mind: "Tomorrow I'm transferring five people from your team to the special task force, and you'll get one too!"
For such a major case, he originally intended to select elite police officers; young people like Ling Yi were not within his consideration.
But who can blame her for solving the case today?
In this situation, if you can solve the case, even if you're just sucking on a pacifier, Lao Gao won't mind.
Otherwise, why would he be so respectful to Xiang Ke, who was one grade below him and about twenty years younger?
Wasn't it because of what happened that we were forced into this situation?
With the meeting just around the corner, this heinous crime made his already sparsely shaved head even shinier.
"Yes." Ling Yi straightened up and immediately accepted the order.
At this moment, Xie Fang suddenly stretched out a hand: "Xiang Ke, it's a pleasure to cooperate with you."
Ling Yi was taken aback and quickly lowered her salute: "Director Xiang, I will work hard and live up to the expectations of Director Gao and you."
Old Gao looked left and right, his gaze finally settling on the two people's clasped hands, momentarily speechless.
What can I say about Xiang Ke?
Young, capable, and with strong crime-solving skills, he has experience in more than a dozen major cases and is a rising star in the police force. It was only by swallowing his pride and begging his old superiors and even his mentor that he was able to persuade this big shot to come.
Of course, once they arrived, they were impeccable in their work. They reviewed documents when required and dissected corpses when necessary, without ever acting arrogantly.
But that's all. This person had one face when facing him, and another when facing the bureau chief.
They were indeed very polite, but also very unenthusiastic.
Lao Gao understood that this was the natural arrogance of highly intelligent and educated people when facing the general public.
He doesn't need to show off or use any profound jargon to embellish himself. He just needs to solve your most pressing problem in an hour, and you'll have to admire him.
Once you give in, they'll naturally enter their comfort zone and won't need to waste their emotional intelligence dealing with you.
But this man who had so thoroughly subdued both him and the bureau chief suddenly offered his help?
Don't think this is a trivial matter; you should know that even the bureau chief has to take the initiative to lend a hand to people.
Is this a case of highly intelligent people attracting each other, or...?
Director Gao looked at Ling Yi's pretty face and was momentarily lost in thought.
The two hands touched and then separated, neither of them sensing the turmoil in Director Gao's heart.
Xiang Ke's hands hung naturally at his sides, his tone still indifferent: "Take a look at the information tomorrow, and you can tell me directly if you have any opinions."
"Yes!"
After saying that, the two stared at each other wide-eyed.
Clearly, Ling Yi had no intention of using her emotional intelligence at this time.
Director Gao sighed inwardly and stepped between the two: "How about we go eat first? You've been working overtime for half a month now, it's rare for you to be on time, don't waste it."
He paused, then turned his head and said, "You two come too, it's my treat today."
After recounting her team's glorious achievements, the eldest sister suddenly became dejected again. She yawned and said, "No, no, I stayed up all night yesterday and need to go home to catch up on sleep today. Let Xiaoling go with you guys."
Xiao Ling glanced lightly at the nonchalant man, pursed her lips slightly, and said softly, "I have a new job tomorrow, so I need to conserve my energy today and be in the best condition to meet the new challenges."
Director Gao clicked his tongue in amazement. Were all three people with no emotional intelligence standing in front of him in this round?
He's the bureau chief, after all; give him some face.
"Alright," Xiang Ke glanced at Ling Yi again, unusually using his emotional intelligence to help Director Gao out of the predicament: "We'll pack some things to bring back later and have an extra meal for everyone."
He smiled slightly: "Perfect timing, I also have some new ideas, we can discuss them while we eat."
Gao Ju, who had been suspended in mid-air, finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Alright, let's act as deliverymen today and give everyone an extra meal!"
"You two go and rest too. I'll talk to Captain Shi about the rest!"
After everyone left, the older woman looked at Ling Yi with a sullen expression and said, "Chief, you turned the table when you were picking up food. Is this young lady here to reorganize the workplace at the police station?"
Ling Yi asked innocently, "Huh?"
Eldest sister: "I don't even want to eat with such a handsome guy, I want to become a nun?"
Ling Yi continued to play dumb: "Huh?"
The older sister waved her hand helplessly: "Alright, alright, I know you don't like socializing, go home and get some sleep, you'll be busy tomorrow!"
