Making It Through The Day Chapter 3

When he returned to the office, Chi Xie greeted him: "Come here, I have just cleaned up the desk. I will sit here from now on."

Ethan Lu said, "Okay, thank you very much, Sister Chi."

Naomi Chi nodded and took the pile of documents in his hand that the receptionist had just handed over: "After completing the procedures for the criminal investigation detachment, we still need to go through the entry procedures for the headquarters. Do you have a general understanding of the work content and the nature of the department?"

Ethan Lu: "Well, Captain Ye said that my job content is to handle financial handover, just like the previous resident accountant. The nature of the department, Sister Clara Xiang just mentioned it."

Naomi Chi: "Okay, in order to facilitate the handling of cases, our department has two establishments. What you just applied for was to join the Second Criminal Investigation Branch of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, just like us. What you want to do now is to join the Yijing Bureau. . Take the information and go to the third floor to find sunscreen." She paused, "Do you know about sunscreen?"

Ethan Lu didn't know why, but he still took out an Anapex from his bag and handed it to her: "Is it like a small golden bottle?"

Naomi Chi choked, pulled out a piece of paper, scrawled and handed it over: "I'm talking about the director of the logistics department."

Ethan Lu looked at the word "fangsai" and fell silent.

Naomi Chi said: "Give him a copy of your information. The logistics supervisor will help you get the materials done. This procedure will take a long time. I can't leave here. If you encounter any needs, please contact me. ?"

Ethan Lu nodded: "Okay."

Naomi Chi exchanged WeChat messages and phone calls with him, and before leaving he said: "The pink gold bottle does not contain alcohol and is milder. I recommend you use that one."

Ethan Lu couldn't laugh or cry: "...I know, thank you, Sister Chi."

When I got to the third floor, I saw Fang Sai, an unsmiling Mediterranean. When he saw Ethan Lu, he said, "I received the notification that your onboarding should be handled by the Finance Department."

Ethan Lu was a little embarrassed: "I know, but this is Captain Ye's intention."

Fang Sai's cold expression suddenly became strange: "So Ye Kongque cut off Han Bapi's beard? Does Han Bapi know?"

This culture of calling colleagues by nicknames made it difficult for Ethan Lu to adapt:   "Team Ye has negotiated with Aiden Chu."

Fang Sai hesitated to speak, and finally shook his head: "Forget it, you go through the formalities first."

He called someone over, and Ethan Lu began to repeat the work he had just done at the city bureau, signing signatures, answering questions, and taking fingerprints.

It took a really long time. Finally, Fang Sai came over to check and said, "It's almost done. I'll go down and hand these documents to your deputy team Chi in a moment. Welcome to join the Yijing Bureau."

Fang Sai shook hands with him formally, and Ethan Lu's tiredness disappeared: "Thank you, Director Fang."

Back on the first floor, Felix Bai was the only one in the office. When he saw Ethan Lu, he called him: "You are finally back."

Ethan Lu was a little surprised: "Are you waiting for me?"

Felix Bai nodded: "Yes, how can you eat without a canteen card? Everyone was there, but you took too long, so they left first."

Ethan Lu looked at the time, it was twelve forty, and immediately apologized: "I'm really sorry."

"It doesn't matter. I haven't thanked you for the pastries you brought me today!" Felix Bai led him outside. "It's really delicious. Where did you buy it?"

Ethan Lu: "...I made it myself. If you like it, I will bring it to you another day...I will bring more to prevent you from being scolded by Captain Ye again."

Felix Bai didn't know why: "Did Captain Ye scold me?"

Ethan Lu: ... Thumbs up for your prime minister's belly.

Felix Bai: "Let me warn you first. The boss has a bad temper, is flammable and explosive, and you saw the consequences of my trial yesterday."

Ethan Lu asked with concern: "He is indeed the old godmother who fed him, are you okay?"

"Okay, I've gotten used to it." Felix Bai handed him a dinner plate, "I just don't have any water to drink. My stomach is burning badly. I have to eat something lighter today...Auntie, I want this, these few days." Like. You can order whatever you want, don’t be polite to me!"

He looked like a rich man, and Ethan Lu was really rude. After all, the canteen in his workplace was not that expensive.

Sure enough, two people swiped their cards for a total of three and eight dollars.

This cafeteria is not small. While eating, Ethan Lu asked, "Approximately how many people are there in our bureau."

Felix Bai dug his rice and said, "More than one thousand, maybe two thousand, but the permanent ones are only six or seven hundred."

Ethan Lu was surprised and said: "So many?" It was almost the configuration of the Municipal Public Security Bureau.

Felix Bai nodded: "Yeah. Don't go above the tenth floor unless there are special circumstances. The old monsters over there are very irritable, comparable to Nathan Ye."

Ethan Lu said oh, thinking it might be some secret department, but didn't think much about it.

The food in the cafeteria tastes good, and he can eat it with enthusiasm, but Felix Bai puts down the food without using his chopsticks for a few times: "I haven't changed the dishes in five or six years, ugh."

Ethan Lu was shocked. Felix Bai was not tall and had a harmless baby face. Ethan Lu thought he was also a recent graduate, but he didn't expect him to be so much older than him.

"Have you been here for so long?" Ethan Lu asked.

Felix Bai: "How long...? But our department has indeed not hired people for several years. It is the most miserable in the department. There are hundreds of people in the logistics and detection teams."

Ethan Lu also finished eating and handed the plate to his aunt: "Thank you. Speaking of which, what departments do we have in the bureau?"

"Action team, finance department, logistics department, as well as archives, public relations, general affairs, external relations, technology, survey, detection, --- wow, let me tell you, the leader of the detection team is a tigress, fierce ---I can't remember a few more, there must be dozens. Our top leader is the director, and down below are the department leaders like the boss. "

Ethan Lu nodded.

The Yijing Bureau occupies a larger area than he imagined. In addition to the office building and the two-story canteen, there are three buildings, each with more than ten floors. They are hidden in the green belt that is too good. If Felix Bai hadn't pulled him After wandering around, he might not know when he would find out.

"These two buildings are dormitories, and the innermost one is for monsters and monsters. Don't even get close to it." Felix Bai rambled.

Ethan Lu looked over and saw that the building was completely dark and the windows were pitifully small and still closed. There were many armed men with guns and ammunition standing outside, eight of them from his perspective alone. The door was closed tightly, and there was even a yellow seal on it. The words could not be read clearly. From a distance, it looked like the talisman paper in the movie.

Ethan Lu felt a little cold for no reason. Felix Bai also shivered and pulled him back.

People in the office were discussing something around the long conference table. Nathan Ye was not there, and Naomi Chi was sitting in the main seat. Next to him was a man he had never seen before. He was tall and strong, with a sense of justice.

"Hey, I'm back." Naomi Chi patted the man on the shoulder, "Let me introduce you to our department's new colleague, Ethan Lu, who works in finance. This is also a clerk in our department, Marcus Chi, my brother. "

Eat meat or vegetables? The names of these two siblings are really interesting.

Marcus Chi showed a gentle smile that was very inconsistent with his appearance, even a little shy, stretched out his hand and said, "Hello."

His hands were very rough, covered with thick calluses, and felt like old tree bark. While Ethan Lu was being polite, he thought to himself: This is real field service!

"We will have a meeting when everyone is here. Ethan Lu, you don't need to listen. You can go and play. The accountant will come over and explain your usual business content to you before tomorrow. After the meeting, I will complete the final onboarding procedures for you. ." Naomi Chi handed out the information.

Ethan Lu felt that he couldn't be separated from the group like this, so he said: "It's okay, I can study with you."

Naomi Chi nodded: "Okay, this is the information on the case we are following now, you can take a look."

She pulled out a document and handed it to him. Ethan Lu took it and started to read it. The title of the first page was "9.30 Case".

Below is a picture of the legendary crime scene.

Ethan Lu glanced at it and closed it instantly.

His saturated stomach was churning, and Ethan Lu almost retched. He clenched his teeth and closed his eyes for a moment to calm down before taking a deep breath and opening them again.

After all, he is a field worker. Even if he is a financial field worker, he is still a field worker. How can he not even dare to look at the pictures of the crime scene?

But even with all the mental preparation, this scene is really a test of one's endurance.

The dead man in the picture is naked, his hands and feet tightly clinging to a thick iron pillar, and his flesh and blood are bruised by the sharp barbs on it. His posture is a bit like being forced to hug a tree to escape from a predator.

However, the situation faced by this man may be even worse, because under him is an inverted three-edged knife, which is too long. The tip of the knife penetrates into the body from the anus, and then pops up above the man's belly button. It is probably painful. No, I arched my back and was pierced. Blood flowed over most of his body, and even the ground was soaked red.

The four men in the photo, lined up in a row, all died like this.

It may be a bit far-fetched to say that they are men. Even if their faces are distorted by the extreme pain, it is still strange to recognize that these people are not very old, and they may even still be in high school.

There were many pictures, including many close-ups of the bloody anus. Ethan Lu couldn't stand it anymore, so he hurriedly turned to the text to understand the general facts of the case.

On the morning of September 30th, the Public Security Bureau of a certain district in Ducheng City received a report that bodies were found in Haiya Park. Four people were dead in total. The city bureau took over immediately and initially determined that it was intentional homicide.

However, the investigation process was not easy. Haiya Park is located on the outskirts of the city, a remote place, and surveillance is not fully covered. The place where the crime occurred is a blind spot. During this time, Haiya Park was under construction again, with many trucks coming and going. The murderer, who originally had to put a lot of effort into setting up such a scene, also had an opportunity.

The four boys who died were sophomores at No. 7 Middle School in Ducheng City. They drove to Haiya Park together on the evening of the 29th. They entered the park chatting and laughing and disappeared from the surveillance cameras until the next day when they were spotted by an uncle who was patrolling the park. The body was found and police were called.

And these four boys are not simple. Their families are either rich or noble. They are typical second-generation ancestors. According to the information, they are not obedient and well-behaved children. They were even suspected of a R@p3 case two months ago.

Here is another file, "7.26 Gang R@p3 Case". Hu You, the leader of the four boys, fell in love with a girl named Jiang Xueying in the next class. He pursued her for nearly a month without success, and together with three others, he planned to gang-R@p3 Jiang Xueying while she was attending a summer cram school.

The girl had a lot of bruises on her body when she reported the crime. The hymen was ruptured and there were severe lacerations on the lower body. The confession stated that they all wore C*nd0ms. Only two of them had semen detected in their mouths. The skin tissue of three of them was extracted from the fingers. The leather school bag was also covered with it. Four people’s fingerprints. Even if Ethan Lu was not a professional criminal investigator, looking at this information, one could conclude that this was indeed a R@p3 case.

However, the case was ultimately classified as school violence.

The four boys were criticized and educated. They only stayed at the district police station for less than ten hours and were released at night.

Even the Jiang Xueying in the ID photo is a little beauty, with a sweet appearance and a bright smile. The bruises and scars on the ID card look particularly terrifying in this contrast.

This was completely different from the excitement of watching Hollywood police movies. Facing the facts of the crime only made Ethan Lu feel sick and sad.

Because the names of the four boys on the file were circled in red, and next to them were strong, thin gold fonts. The crossed-out words were vaguely distinguishable as "Deserved."

Then he wrote next to it, "Forget it, literacy."

There are many dense annotations on this file, most of which are case-related information, but this one has an obvious personal emotional orientation.

"...I think it's obvious that Jiang Hang did it. Think about it, he loves Jiang Xueying so much, how could he easily let go of the beasts who ruined his daughter. Divorcing and driving his wife and daughter back to their hometown are just cover-ups. , How could it be such a coincidence? It just happened to be those few who died in this way," Riley said, turning over the file.

Chi Xie knocked on the table: "How many times have I told you that you are a criminal investigator and have never said anything when handling the case. I understand the truth, but where is the evidence? Jiang Hang stayed in the security room on the night of the crime, and the surveillance video clearly captured it. ...Have your colleagues from the Technical Reconnaissance Department confirmed it?"

Marcus Chi nodded: "All monitoring data have been technically analyzed. There is absolutely no possibility of synthetic modification. It is indeed Jiang Hang himself."

"You heard it," Chi Xie looked at Riley, "A perfect alibi. Besides him, there was another security guard on duty that night who could also testify against Jiang Hang. How can he be convicted without evidence?"

Clara Xiang said: "What Kebama said does make sense. There can't be such a coincidence. Jiang Hang is a veteran and has a motive for committing the crime. His suspicion cannot be ruled out."

"I understand the truth, but there is a lack of evidence. The Criminal Investigation Team spent the entire National Day holiday on him. Did they find anything? Nothing." Chi Xie sighed, "Since we are here, this case is over. You definitely can’t use conventional thinking..."

"But conventional evidence is needed to close the case." Bai Su rubbed his face on the table, "And Jiang Hang is indeed an ordinary person, what should we do? Let's just wait until the boss comes back to discuss it, or break this Kick the ball back to the city bureau."

Riley sneered: "If Nathan Ye hears this, your head will be screwed off and played as a ball."

Felix Bai muttered: "...How can the boss be so irritable?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the office door was kicked open.

Nathan Ye was full of low pressure, carrying the wind and rain, and threw the information in his hand heavily in front of Riley, making him and Felix Bai tremble at the same time.

Wordy.

"You, call Julian Gu." Nathan Ye said expressionlessly.

Riley even has freckles as a sign of resistance: "How, how ---"

"Don't push, call, put on speakerphone."

Nathan Ye's voice was not loud, but he was so frightened that Riley immediately took out his mobile phone and dialed a number, then put it on the table with the speakerphone on.

His irritability was visible to the naked eye, and no one in the office even dared to say a word. Ethan Lu instinctively felt that a storm was brewing in the silence. Fortunately, the call was answered quickly.

It was a man. As soon as he said the word "ba", Nathan Ye cut him off: "Gu Zhangfeng, what does it mean?"

The other end of the phone paused for a moment, and then spoke again in a voice that was still mellow and gentle: "It's Zhu Ming, I still ---"

"What else do you want? Are you still thinking of making up an excuse to coax me? You know that Director He is coming to inspect today, so you asked me to go to the Municipal Bureau to hand over the things in person, because in this way you can lure me to Director Hu's wine table Only then can you hold my head and apologize to him, right? After all, I can't help but give He Ting some face no matter what. You're so good at planning, why don't you sit in Han Papi's seat? "

The person on the other end of the phone chuckled, his tone completely unaffected: "But you really didn't give anyone face."

"Fart! If it weren't for He Ting's sake, Hu would have been drinking tea in the procuratorate right now. Want me to commit perjury to directly convict Jiang Hang? Why the hell doesn't he just open a court and be the judge himself? What about the death penalty? Why didn't Hu Youwei, the father, demand justice? Jiang Xueying was only sixteen years old, so her life was so worthless? "

"Zhu Ming, you misunderstood me. I'm not asking you to make a false case. There's no problem if you want to deal with business affairs. But you should be gentle when dealing with people. Director Hu is organizing the Yijing Bureau everywhere, and it's a little troublesome for me to deal with it."

The man on the other end of the phone had a good voice, but he couldn't calm down the angry Nathan Ye.

He frowned, listened, and sneered.

So the man stopped talking, and the atmosphere became a little depressing for a while.

Chi Xie immediately came out to smooth things over: "Oh, Gu Bureau, it's not like you don't know Zhu Ming. He has this temper. He is straight-forward, eager to handle the case, and speaks a little hastily. Don't take it personally. Director Hu's side I will communicate with you and the case will be handled as soon as possible. If there are other problems later, just give me your instructions. "

She paused, "Or you can contact Riley. The cases are handled jointly and we can communicate with each other."

Riley silently said "f*ck", Chi Xue ignored him, and after a few more words, he hung up the phone.

She comforted Nathan Ye, sat down, and asked softly what was wrong.

Nathan Ye said angrily: "The one who forced Director Hu is the brother-in-law of the former deputy governor. He complained to Uncle Xiao. Otherwise, do you think that a director of the Political Department really has such dignity that Department He can help him matchmaking? Come back. After calling all the way, the phone is dead." He handed the phone to Chi Xie, "Please charge it. Where is my information?"

Ethan Lu's eyelids twitched, and as expected, he looked towards Xiao Yuan: "It's at Ethan Lu's place... Ethan Lu, return it to Captain Ye first, and I'll get you a new one."

Ethan Lu hurriedly handed it over, thinking that he hadn't put it down just now to scribble on it.

As soon as Nathan Ye took it, Riley said timidly: "Boss, boss, Director Gu sent you a voice message --- on my mobile phone."

"Let it go." Nathan Ye flipped through the file without raising his head.

"Riley, tell Zhu Ming that today's dinner is just for them to reconcile. After all, Zhu Ming did go too far before. I don't know about Director Hu's request. Forget it, let's stop here. Let Zhu Ming Don't pay attention to this kind of behavior that floutes the king's law. Just do whatever you want. Don't be pressured. I'll be there for you if anything happens.

"But the case has a great impact, so we cannot be careless or take it lightly. Jianghang cannot be abandoned because there are no clues. When looking for other directions, this road must be dug deeply. All departments of the unit will fully cooperate with your work and hope to continue our efforts." "

Nathan Ye's face brightened slightly: "This is pretty damn good."

Riley was about to reach out for her phone when there was a "ding" and a new message came in and it played automatically.

"And you, if you need help, you can come to me directly. Otherwise, you won't even send me a message---"

The voice stopped suddenly, causing Ba Ma to cut off with a red face.

Ethan Lu guessed that this Julian Gu should be the director of the Yijing Bureau. His voice sounded young... Are the leaders here so young?

And the last paragraph...how is it gay?

Felix Bai screamed: "You start a small stove! Why don't you bring some back to me, our boss!"

Riley cried out: "I have never been there even once!"

Felix Bai: "Who believes it?!"

Nathan Ye said slowly: "I believe that he is afraid of being R@p3d, so he will definitely not dare to go even once."

Riley pursed her lips and said nothing.

Nathan Ye continued: "Gu Zangfeng is so good, he is just blind, alas."

Riley: ...

Nathan Ye continued to type: "Actually, you can give it a try. After all, you two are going to be a couple, and Gu Xianfeng will have to call me father-in-law from now on."

Riley humbly asked: "Why not my mother-in-law?"

Nathan Ye smiled: "So you finally accept my old father?"

Riley almost knelt down in front of him: "...Brother, it's getting cold, please leave some clothes for Pinru."
