Chapter 775
"Leon! Your matter has been exposed!"
After placing the dinner plate on the table with great force, making a "clanging" sound, the female police officer, whose dark circles were three times heavier, sat opposite Leon and said in a low voice with a face full of annoyance:
"I already know, the attack on the boarding tower was done by you!"
"..."
"Oh."
After being silent for a few seconds, Leon used a fork to skewer half a piece of beef pudding, sent it to the female police officer's plate, and then poured half a bowl of his soup for her.
"Sorry, I caused you trouble."
"..."
And then? That's it?
After waiting for a while and seeing no follow-up, the female police officer, who was gnashing her teeth in anger, couldn't help but say angrily:
"Just this? Don't you have anything else to say to me?"
"..."
"Uh... today's pudding is made with meat eyes, the taste is very good, and it's drizzled with Aunt Diana's special sauce, I was worried you wouldn't have time to eat while working overtime, so I specifically asked for two extra pieces..."
"Don't play dumb! That's not what I'm asking!"
After fiercely stabbing a fork into the beef pudding, the female police officer leaned over and said viciously:
"Hurry up and speak! What exactly happened! Otherwise, I will bring people to arrest you immediately!
Also... damn it! Why are you still wearing this old coat? Just because you are wearing this set of clothes that is the same as the suspect, I have already received several reports! Can't you change into a new set?"
Ah?
Leon was stunned upon hearing this and asked back with some confusion:
"This coat is quite good, it's wear-resistant, dirt-resistant, and warm; wanting to buy a new coat similar to it would cost over a silver wheel, and I've seen it on the way to work, three or four out of ten people on the street wear something similar to me, why would someone report me because of the clothes?"
"There are many people wearing this on the street, but there are not many people wearing this in the police department, it looks especially conspicuous instead... In short, hurry up and find time to change your clothes, if someone reports you again next time, I won't clean up your mess!"
After fiercely crushing the pudding and mixing it into the rice, the female police officer scooped a spoonful of rice into her mouth; as the fresh and fragrant meat juice gradually spread in her mouth, her tense expression finally relaxed, and she nodded slightly:
"The taste is indeed not bad... What exactly happened to the boarding tower! Hurry up and speak!"
Eating can't even block your mouth... hmm... such a big thing, it would be strange if it could be blocked.
After shaking his head slightly, Leon organized his language a bit, then explained with a serious face:
"To put it simply, there was something very dangerous over there, if it wasn't handled, it would cause big trouble, so I went over there once."
"..."
"..."
"That's it?"
"That's it."
"..."
"To tell you the truth, it's not that I don't want to tell you, but the fewer people who know about this, the better."
After taking a sip of soup, Leon spread his hands helplessly:
"You know, although we are all people from the police department, and the work we do is 'maintaining public order,' our work content is really completely different from ordinary police; being able to say so much is already because of our relationship.
Think about it, if your secret police received a mission, discovered that the Minister of Finance was colluding with the enemy and betraying the country, and had been selling the kingdom's intelligence for years, so you took advantage of the night to visit and arrest him... if it were you, would you talk about this everywhere?" "..."
That's also... my ass!
After nodding in agreement, the female police officer, who had reacted, complained with some annoyance:
"It's fine if the mission can't be said, but you patted your butt and left after finishing the work, while I've been working overtime like crazy here!
Except for the day I returned from the city-wide patrol, when I broke the rule and slept enough, I have only been able to sleep four or five hours every day for the past week! Do you know how hard this is?"
"Hmm hmm, you've worked hard, you've worked hard."
After skewering a piece of salmon from the female police officer's plate and stuffing it into his mouth, Leon looked up at her heavy dark circles, felt a bit embarrassed in his heart, and couldn't help but suggest again:
"By the way, if you are really sleepy and uncomfortable, then go to my office and take a nap... After all, you know now, this is destined to be a case that can't be solved, there's no need to continue to stay and die fighting it."
"Forget it!"
After fiercely chewing a piece of fried chicken, the female police officer said unhappily:
"Our Secret Investigation Bureau doesn't have the flexibility you have, there are many cases that belong to us to investigate! The boarding tower matter definitely can't be investigated anymore, but other cases are still possible.
After I finish eating, I will apply to transfer to another special case group... By the way, do you know about the Hou Jue of Jin Juan who drowned recently? If I transfer, I should take over that case."
???
Ah this... why do you always take on this kind of work?
"What's wrong?"
After waiting for a while and seeing no response from Leon, the female police officer, who was drinking soup, raised her head, stuck out her small pink tongue, and subconsciously swept the oil on her lips, then said with a look of surprise:
"Why are you silent again?"
"..."
Because I guessed you would have to work overtime again, and you definitely won't be able to find any results; as a good friend who caused you to work overtime like crazy, I am slightly ashamed...
"Nothing..."
After looking at the female police officer with slight pity, Leon sighed and said:
"I wish you success."
"I can definitely succeed!"
After wrinkling her nose, the female police officer hummed:
"I am an elite field police officer of the Secret Investigation Bureau! If it weren't for worrying about being promoted too fast and being talked about, with the credit I've made in these few years, I could have directly become an inspector of the field group, and even have the opportunity to fight for the next Director of the Secret Investigation Bureau.
As long as there are no cases where you 'mess around,' the ones that fall into my hands can basically be solved; regarding the Hou Jue of Jin Juan's case, although I haven't read the file yet, I have learned a lot from the newspaper and noticed some suspicious points, I have great confidence in breaking it!"
"Hmm hmm, I am optimistic about you, you will definitely be able to do it... That... I have already finished eating, I'll leave first!"
After coughing dryly twice with some embarrassment, Leon finished the rest of the things on the plate in three or four bites, then, driven by guilt, hurriedly left the police department's cafeteria and returned to the Cleaning Bureau, preparing to find the Director to talk about the female reporter's problem.
However, when Leon pushed open the door of the Cleaning Bureau, walked through the somewhat dark corridor, and was just about to knock on the door of the Director's office, the door of the Director's office opened by itself first, and two somewhat familiar figures appeared before Leon's eyes.
"Mr. Leon, it's been a while."
After friendly reaching out his palm to Leon, the elderly investigator, who was born with a smiling face, smiled gently with a gentle demeanor:
"You should have heard about the Hou Jue of Jin Juan's matter, he is a person protected by the Word Spirit of the General Bureau, so according to the convention, we need to find relevant personnel to ask some basic questions, I hope we haven't disturbed your work."
