He thought for a moment, then asked back:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do you need to be taught how to write a report?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Director Liu was momentarily speechless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Self-taught, then.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ve read your file. This is your first time killing a criminal—and you killed seven. I want to hear your explanation.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Dazhang understood his meaning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was just that it made no sense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A rookie who had never killed anyone faced a group of vicious criminals, didn’t panic, and wiped them all out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And he targeted only vital areas—chest or head—no shots to limbs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Any normal person wouldn’t even have the courage to kill, let alone wipe out an entire group.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I didn’t think that much at the time,” Yu Dazhang said reluctantly. “Behind me were two colleagues who needed my protection. If I fell, they had no chance left.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, he could only try to shift the man’s focus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two officers were wounded on-site—there was simply no time to think.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Director Liu nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That explanation made sense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Did you sleep well last night?” he asked another question.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as he asked, Director Liu’s gaze sharpened, fixed on Yu Dazhang’s eyes, as if trying to pierce his soul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Dazhang looked back, confused:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fine, not much different from usual.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Playing microexpressions?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s my specialty!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And I have no reason to lie.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Insomnia the night before shows clearly in your mental state the next day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Dazhang had considered pretending.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But faking mental exhaustion all day was too exhausting. Director Liu’s eyes, sharp as blades, still locked onto Yu Dazhang’s:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ve seen many people’s reactions the first time they take a life.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Severe cases: vomiting, weakness in limbs, even full-body tremors.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Milder cases show no physical reaction, but their mental state is still affected.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Insomnia, nightmares, mental fog, constant unease.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But I see none of that in you. Do you think that’s normal?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Dazhang felt deeply uncomfortable under Director Liu’s stare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was like a knife waving in front of his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One flicker of weakness, and the blade would land on his skin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Director Liu must have worked in interrogation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Please... collect... 6...9...books...!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This microexpression interrogation technique was executed too smoothly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Too bad you’ve met me… Yu Dazhang’s face showed a look of difficulty, then quickly returned to its innocent, naive expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why didn’t I throw up? When I got home last night, I threw up.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He now looked like a college student, his eyes filled with innocent stupidity:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yeah, and my limbs felt weak—I couldn’t lift a finger, I even broke out in cold sweat.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I trembled too, that guy shook like a sieve, couldn’t stop.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The dreams? I can’t remember them, but I’m sure they weren’t good ones.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I was so tired yesterday—I bet I’ll be insomnia tonight…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Director Liu couldn’t take it anymore and raised his hand to cut him off:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Enough, enough, stop talking.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn’t tell truth from lie—the kid’s expressions were too authentically simple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He also realized this kid was a real chatterbox.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Tomorrow, go get a psychological evaluation,” Director Liu ordered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then we’ll decide your next assignment.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was this necessary… Yu Dazhang was resistant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew for certain he had no psychological issues.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had already passed the psychological test in his past life—he was no longer a naive teenager.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And he had passed one more test than others… he had died once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had been shot dead by a hail of bullets—how could he still have psychological burdens?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, Yu Dazhang realized Director Liu was deliberately promoting him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His phrase “next assignment” carried meaning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside the director’s office, Yu Dazhang found Director Wu pacing back and forth in the hallway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Yu Dazhang emerge, he immediately stepped forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How did it go? Did they want you to stay at the municipal bureau?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No,” Yu Dazhang shook his head. “Director Liu didn’t say that.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Director Wu’s expression relaxed noticeably—he was clearly relieved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s go, come back with me first.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Half an hour later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Director Wu brought Yu Dazhang to the branch team.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Starting today, you won’t return to the First Detachment,” Director Wu said, looking at Yu Dazhang seriously:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Your current state isn’t suitable for handling Category Eight cases. Wait until you finish psychological counseling.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But I still have to work, right?” Yu Dazhang asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Director Wu seemed to have expected this question—he answered without hesitation:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’ll work temporarily at the branch team. I’ve already spoken with Commander Li—I’ve assigned you lighter duties.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Yu Dazhang’s resistance, he quickly added:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You’ll be assigned to the branch team for now—I’ve already spoken with Li Dui and arranged some lighter duties for you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Yu Dazhang was resistant, he quickly added:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your main task now is to cooperate with treatment.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I want to give up treatment...
