Be in low spirits

"Criminal police team? Xiao Kong is young after all, it would be easier for him to get into trouble if he goes to the Criminal Police Team." Old Liu was worried. He could beat people up in the police station. If he really went to the Criminal Police Team, he probably wouldn't survive more than two episodes.

"What are you thinking about? Xiao Zhang, who is in charge of filing files in the Criminal Police Brigade, is going to take maternity leave. We want to borrow a female police officer to take over. I think Xiao Kong is suitable. She can temper her character in the archives room, and she will not be so impulsive when she comes back."

"The archives room is a good option for a girl, I think." Old Liu sat opposite him and thought that this was a good idea. Maybe doing some clerical work in the archives room would give her some peace and quiet.

"Please help me call her in so I can discuss things with her." Suo Fei put the two people's self-reviews into the drawer.

When Kong Zhixi heard that Fei wanted to transfer her to the Criminal Police Brigade, she felt that it was related to the previous complaint. Without thinking, she shouted, "Why?"

"Just listen to your leader when he assigns you work. There's no need to give so many reasons. Besides, sending you to the Criminal Police Brigade is to train you." Seeing that Fei had a grim expression, Lao Liu tried to persuade her.

"What training can I get from organizing files? Looking at those case files? I might as well stay in the police station and work as a police officer." She couldn't understand what training there was in a clerk's job.

"Shut up! Do you know how many people want to go to the Criminal Police Brigade but can't? Just be happy if I let you go." Fei Suo didn't want to waste time talking to her. He didn't know if her brain was damaged by TV dramas and detective novels. She always thought that black is black and white is white.

"Then whoever wants to go can go, just let them go. Why me? I think you are..." She was still angry. If she really went to the Criminal Police Brigade, worked as a clerk for half a year, and then returned to the station, Old Fei would definitely arrange her directly to the Household Registration Department.

Old Liu frowned at her and finally yelled at her: "What's wrong with you? What's wrong with the archives room? Isn't the work in the archives room important? You are so impulsive, isn't it right to punish you to work in the archives room? You still have the nerve to ask why? It's not enough to implicate your master, do you want to drag Fei Suo to be criticized by the Municipal Bureau as well?"

She was stunned by her master's scolding. It was the first time that her master scolded her like this after two months of employment. She could only nod woodenly and said as if admitting her fault: "Then... go if you want to. I didn't say I won't go."

"Then you go to the Criminal Police Brigade to report to Qian Ke at nine o'clock tomorrow morning. Okay, get out now." The matter was resolved, and Chief Fei didn't want to look at the faces of these two people anymore. It made him angry just by looking at them.

In the corridor, the master and the apprentice walked one after the other. Kong Zhixi reacted and said, "Master, you two are really good at coordinating this scene!"

"Hey, I asked you to go to the Criminal Police Brigade to work with files for your own good. With your impulsiveness, if you are called out on police duty a few more times, you will have to take off your police uniform." Old Liu held up his thermos and warned her earnestly.

At this point, she could only accept it. At nine in the morning, she went to the Criminal Police Brigade and reported to Qian Ke in the archives room.

Qian Ke took her to the archives room, taught her how to organize the files by year, and said, "Anyone who comes to borrow files must go through the formalities with me. They cannot take the files without my signature."

Everyone in the Criminal Police Brigade is in a hurry. Everyone is busy, and no one knows what they are busy with. From time to time, you can see some messy people.

She herself doesn't like socializing and has always been alone. The advantage of working in the archives is that it is quiet and no one disturbs her.

A few people in the criminal investigation office were discussing, "It seems like there's a new person in the archives office recently. She looks pretty. I wonder if she has a boyfriend."

"He usually keeps to himself and doesn't seem to like talking much. He's probably quite aloof."

"Ask Qian Ke, she looks quite young, is Sister Zhang on maternity leave?"

Everyone in the office was discussing loudly. Li Li came back from outside and stood in the hall without anyone noticing. "No work, right? What are you discussing?" He shouted loudly, and everyone dispersed and returned to their positions to work.

He walked to the archives room, but didn't see Lao Qian, so he shouted, "Lao Qian! I want to see the case file of 0317, help me find it."

No one responded, so he could only shout again: "Where's the person? If there's no one, I can look for him myself."

Kong Zhixi was still sorting files. She heard him yelling impatiently, so she could only walk out and say, "Hey, hey, hey, stop yelling. Go to his office and ask him to write a note."

Seeing the man coming, wearing a police uniform and full of energy, the scar on Li Li's neck seemed to no longer hurt, and he felt bright and relaxed. It seemed that he had wanted to see this man for a long time, but he had never met him again after going to Kong's house many times.

"Who are you?" He was stunned and turned around to look around. It seemed that he had not come to the wrong place. He was not sure of her identity and thought that she just looked similar.

"I'm seconded from the Jiangyin Road Police Station. Just go to the office and ask for a note from the Qianke section." The man looked familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen him. She still had a lot of work to do, so she didn't want to think too much about it.

Li Li found Lao Qian to write a note and asked, "What's the name of the new girl?"

"Kong Zhixi was seconded from Jiangyin Road Police Station. She was said to be here to help for three months. Old Fei agreed on six months, but now it has become three months." Old Qian sat at the window and wrote him a note, not caring that the person concerned was sorting files in the archives room.

"Xixi." He called out subconsciously. This name came from thinking of Cheng Xi, and also because he thought that people close to her would probably call her that.

Kong Zhixi frowned and looked at him from among the many files. Is this man sick? She felt very uncomfortable when he called her like this on their first meeting.

Old Qian looked at the two men, then looked at Li Li and teased him, "Are you interested?"

Li Li took the case file and did not reply to him. He only said, "I will return it to you after I have read it."

After get off work in the evening, he saw Kong Zhixi locked the door of the archive room, so he waited at the entrance of the brigade. When he saw her come out, he asked, "Are you going home after get off work?"

She was stunned for a moment. People from the Criminal Police Brigade often talked to her, but she didn't pay much attention, and gradually the number of people talking to her decreased.

"Yeah." She put her hands in her pockets and wanted to go out and take the bus.

"Let me take you there. I also need to go look for Kong Suo." He followed her steps, thinking that perhaps he could verify his idea once again.

"Do you know my dad?" She hadn't told her family about her civil service exam, and she didn't want her dad to smile with triumph after finding out.

"Don't you remember? I met you at your house." He thought she could still remember, but she had no impression at all.

She was a little flustered. Not only did this man know her father, he also came in and out of her house, and now they met in the criminal police team. She pulled him aside, approached him stealthily and said, "Um... my father doesn't know that I'm taking the civil service exam, you..."

It was the first time he was so close to her. He could smell the tea fragrance on her body, and something in his heart seemed to be stirring. "Your father doesn't know?" He was surprised.

"I... don't want him to know, and... I won't go home either. Just don't tell my dad that you saw me." She hadn't decided when to confess to her old father, but thought that hiding it for a while was the best.

She grabbed his sleeves, looking at him with some panic and expectation. "Where are you going back? I'll take you there." He didn't answer directly, thinking of sending her back and then returning to the team to see if the wound would relapse.

"Oh, no, I'll take the bus." She refused. She couldn't even remember this man's name, and she didn't want him to know where he lived.

Her approach was inexplicable, and her rejection was clear. "Uh, okay. You...be careful." Although it was a bit embarrassing, he didn't want to force it.

"My dad?" She was a little worried. If her dad really knew, she could almost imagine his smiling face when he succeeded.

"Don't worry. Uh, I don't know if your sister is in the Municipal Bureau?" He suddenly hoped that the topic could last longer so that his body could rest longer.

"I don't know. If you don't tell them, they won't know." The man smelled of sweat and was not wearing a police uniform. He should be a criminal investigator. He was very tall and blocked all the light in front of her eyes.

It was already dark, and the two men stood in the corner of the entrance of the Criminal Investigation Brigade. This was the first time they had talked for such a long time since they had met at Kong Jianping's house.

"Okay, I understand." He nodded, not knowing how to continue the conversation, and just stood there awkwardly.

"Thank you." She thanked him and prepared to take the bus. Li Li held her back, raised his phone shyly, and said, "Uh, how about adding WeChat?"
