Chapter 388: Chapter 381

The time has not yet reached early summer, and as a coastal city, Jiangdu’s weather is naturally far from being hot yet.

However, the humidity has already started to soar and isn’t backing down.

If you want to swap clothes in your wardrobe for the change of seasons, like switching winter clothes to spring and summer ones, you must first lay out the winter clothes under the sun for a day before storing them, otherwise, no one can predict where they might sprout little black spots.

This weather is greatly enjoyed by the spider plants in the police station.

But the young officers in navy blue uniforms are a bit perturbed by this climate.

Especially those young people who have been assigned here from the north or other inland cities.

"Who secretly turned on the air conditioner again? It’s only a few months into the year and it’s already on?"

An authoritative voice suddenly rang out.

"Just turned on [Dehumidify]..." A timid, young, soft voice replied.

"Captain Sun, I opened a pack of biscuits this morning, then suddenly got a call and got busy. When I remembered around noon and went to eat, they were no longer crispy..."

Seeing it was a young, beautiful female officer from out of town speaking, Captain Sun’s voice softened slightly, but he still sternly warned:

"Recently, there’s been a document from above about low carbon environmental protection. Turning on the air conditioner now is a waste of electricity. If we get caught, the end-of-quarter Spirit of Civilization evaluation could be in trouble..."

The young female officer looked distressed.

Captain Sun, feeling a bit sympathetic, thought for a moment and said, "What flavor are your biscuits? I’ve been busy since morning too, if they’re limp and you don’t want to eat them..."

The female officer from out of town looked horrified.

Feeling a bit homesick.

Just as Captain Sun was about to say something, suddenly, he noticed the young officer’s expression tense up.

With years of criminal investigation experience, he instinctively straightened up, pivoted around, and saluted.

"Director Xia."

"Hmm." Xia Yuefeng strode into the office, paused, and looked around thoughtfully.

Both Captain Sun and the young female officer grew nervous.

But Xia Yuefeng only glanced around and without saying much, he quickly strode into his own office.

Leaving Captain Sun and the young officer staring at each other, while colleagues from around peeked their heads in to see what was going on.

"Is Director Xia..." The young female officer hesitated.

"Yes." Captain Sun answered quickly, "That’s definitely Director Xia."

Then he swiftly stepped forward and turned off the air conditioner.

The young officer looked like the sky had fallen.

Captain Sun reassured, "It’s okay, he just saw it but didn’t point it out, it’s not a big deal."

"It could also be a matter of waiting to settle when real trouble arises," another uniformed officer nearby offered.

The young officer felt even more homesick.

Another uniformed head popped out nearby, "But wasn’t Director Xia scheduled to go to the hospital for his back injury today? I even checked his itinerary for him, so why did he come back?"

The young officer nodded repeatedly, "I only turned on the air conditioner because I knew Director Xia wouldn’t be here today. Otherwise..."

But she got caught red-handed.

At this point, a circle of blue uniforms immediately straightened their spirits.

At the same time, a few uneasy individuals gathered together to chat.

"Captain Sun, could you perhaps test the waters and see how Director Xia is feeling today? This way, I still feel uneasy."

"He should be in a good mood, shouldn’t he? Not long ago, Director Xia personally caught a professor at Jiang University, I heard he even performed a takedown. You could tell from his expression that he was quite pleased when he returned..."

"No, that day wasn’t entirely pleasant," Captain Sun corrected, his expression serious, "Director Xia was handling two people, but lost track of one and nearly let the suspect commit suicide out of fear of guilt."

"Hiss..." The uniformed officers gasped.

"Was it your person, Captain Sun?"

"Of course not mine, otherwise I would have been sent to direct traffic by now." Captain Sun looked grateful, then immediately became stern again, "Besides, there was another unexpected incident."

"The expression Director Xia had at that time is very similar to today."

Mature individuals in society are all half psychology practitioners, especially people in Captain Sun’s profession.

Basic facial comparison can be done effortlessly.

"What was the other incident?"

A circle of uniforms leaned in closer, eager for answers.

"Because of Xiao Xia." Captain Sun said.

The group’s expressions turned anxious.

Clearly, they all know who Captain Sun’s nickname refers to.

"Tiantian?" The young female officer whispered in surprise, worry on her face, "What’s wrong with her?"

Captain Sun shook his head slowly, "No, strictly speaking, it’s not ’what’s wrong with Xiao Xia,’ but a man related to Xiao Xia — ’what’s wrong’."

Those who can stay in this office aren’t simple-minded or slow-thinking.

Even though Captain Sun’s remarks were cryptic like riddles, the others immediately understood his point.

"So, Director Xia’s mood change today is because...?" A uniformed officer realized.

Captain Sun nodded silently.

"So Director Xia didn’t go to the hospital and came back early because...?" The young officer clenched her not crispy biscuit.

Captain Sun nodded again.

The young officer gritted her teeth, "Tiantian is a big girl now... No wonder Director Xia... Damn."

"I want to see what kind of guy has made our station so messed up. Tiantian’s issue is one thing, today’s matters are another. New enemies add to old grievances... Captain Sun, do you know the guy’s name?"

Captain Sun looked at the young officer like she was foolish, these matters can be discussed casually, but how could he reveal the man’s actual name?

"That man is one of the witnesses, even the key witness, for the ’Jiang University’s professor case,’ how could I..."

"Old Sun!"

Suddenly, Xia Yuefeng’s voice rang out, startling the uniformed officers present.

With their level of alertness, even in the office, even when gossiping, they were still approached stealthily to this extent.

No wonder he’s Director Xia. Everyone praised tearfully in their hearts.

Captain Sun slowly turned his head, "Director Xia... Any instructions?"

"There’s someone downstairs named Nan Zhubin, find him. Don’t let him wander, bring him directly to my office."

"Yes!" The response was short and powerful, "But Director Xia, what does he look like, is he at the guard station now?"

"...You’ll know when you see him."

Watching Xia Yuefeng’s departing figure, the uniforms who had dispersed like frightened animals gathered back, deep in thought.

"Director Xia’s expression... could it be that ’Nan Zhubin’ is that guy?"

"The name sounds really familiar..."

The young officer took a deep breath, "New enemies and old grievances!"

Five minutes later.

Step—step—step—

Watching the young man following Captain Sun into the room.

The young officer looked at the biscuit in her hand, "I think I’ve already forgiven him."
