Chapter 90: Holding Hands While Outing in Spring

This was the main purpose... Yu Dazhang knew this clearly.

Allowing a person who might have psychological problems to possess a firearm is risky in itself.

However, the bureau leaders also considered his face; they did not confiscate the gun, but only had the detachment temporarily keep it in custody.

The next day.

Mental Health Service Center.

This belongs to an agency set up within the municipal bureau.

Under the bureau's arrangement, Yu Dazhang came here to undergo a psychological evaluation.

The evaluation had three steps: conversation, observation, and testing.

During the process, he played a little trick, deliberately acting somewhat anxious, but not too severely.

There was no other way.

If he had acted like a normal person, the other side would have thought he was abnormal instead.

You had just gotten the gun not long ago and took down seven kills; even if you were performing official duties, you would be afraid afterward, right?

Those were people; even if they were bad men who deserved to die, they were still living humans, impossible to remain completely unmoved.

After returning to the detachment, Yu Dazhang saw two inspectors waiting for him at the team.

Captain Li Jun saw him return and immediately went to meet him.

"Don't overthink it, it's a normal procedure, just cooperate."

"I understand." Yu Dazhang nodded, then immediately asked:

"They came a bit fast, didn't they?"

According to normal procedure, the team and the branch bureau must first investigate the situation clearly, and only then proceed to the next step.

This time usually lasts about a week.

But counting today, only two days have passed, and the inspectors have already come to the door.

This inevitably made Yu Dazhang somewhat surprised, and also somewhat worried.

Has the case changed again?

"You heard about the bones being dug up, right?" Li Jun asked instead of answering.

Yu Dazhang did not hide it either; he told the truth:

"I knew yesterday; it is said that seventeen skeletons were dug up."

These skeletons were dug up overnight; he estimated that the municipal bureau had made new discoveries subsequently.

Seeing the mysterious expression on the detachment captain's face, Yu Dazhang guessed it was nine out of ten correct.

"The excavation was finished last night, and the scene has been counted; the final total of skeletons must not be disclosed. According to my estimate, it will grow by multiples."

Li Jun lowered his voice:

"Now this case has already alarmed the provincial department. This morning, the provincial department's criminal investigation general team came down to investigate; I heard they even used a polygraph."

The situation is getting bigger and bigger... Yu Dazhang felt some unease in his heart.

The course of events has already developed toward the uncontrollable; he can only passively accept the arrangements from above now.

This case is no longer something he can interfere with.

However, he also hopes the investigation is as thorough as possible, to completely and thoroughly eliminate this tumor.

Speaking of the polygraph, although the detected results cannot serve as evidence, that thing is terrifying.

With a small rubber strip connected to wires stuck to the body, before the questioning even begins, the person is already scared numb.

The subsequent interrogation process went very smoothly.

The two inspector comrades did not ask any tricky questions.

They simply conducted a review of Yu Dazhang's entire investigation process.

Yu Dazhang also heard it; they must have read his report.

Coming to find him this time was to verify the authenticity of the report.

At the same time, he also learned some information he did not know before.

It turned out that the family at the village entrance was the village head's family, and the first man Yu Dazhang killed was precisely the village's leader.

The youths called by the woman to fight him to the death belonged to a security team nature in the village.

All matters related to violence were their responsibility.

For example, after abducting people, they were responsible for guarding and transporting them.

If someone escaped, they were responsible for pursuing and burying them.

In short, they were all involved in all the unspeakable things in the village.

No wonder the attitude of these two inspector comrades toward him was so good.

Yu Dazhang finally understood.

All those people who besieged him were the main force of the village.

He alone eliminated the living force of that village.

I don't know whether to count this as good luck or bad luck... Yu Dazhang was truly dazed this time.

It is so good to be alive!

At five o'clock that afternoon, Qu Tuotuo called. "What are you doing?"

"Just got off work."

"I'm coming to find you; let's eat together."

"Sure."

Since eating at Qu Tuotuo's house, Yu Dazhang has always been in contact with her.

But they had never chatted using communication apps like WeChat.

Neither of them was the type with a personality that loved sweet nothings.

Yu Dazhang's actual psychological age was already over thirty.

Although his personality in this life was somewhat flighty, his essence remained unchanged.

Plus, as a criminal police officer, he was truly unaccustomed to matters of romantic love and found them too affected.

As for emotions, Qu Tuotuo was even more the type with a straightforward personality.

Please... you.... collect 6... 9... book.... okay....!

The methods rich young masters used to pick up girls looked like children playing house in her eyes.

Not only childish, but utterly ridiculous.

By all rights, these two should not be together, and would not even become friends.

Personality is something that requires complementarity.

But Qu Tuotuo just happened to like this particular flavor.

Inside a hotpot restaurant, the two sat facing each other.

"Eat," Qu Tuotuo said, glancing at the various ingredients already cooked in the hotpot, urging:

"If you don't eat now, they'll get overcooked."

"Oh, oh~, okay," Yu Dazhang replied, picking up a few slices of meat from the pot and putting them in his mouth.

Seeing him look distracted, Qu Tuotuo couldn't help but ask:

"What's wrong? Something on your mind?"

"No," Yu Dazhang denied.

"Still saying no," Qu Tuotuo pointed at his dipping sauce dish:

"You don't even dip your hotpot food in sauce?"

"Forgot, forgot," Yu Dazhang replied awkwardly.

People are just like that; after experiencing something so huge, when they finally relax, their minds will involuntarily start replaying it.

Yu Dazhang was even more so.

He now even felt a sense of relief from having survived a disaster.

Whenever he had free time these past two days, he had been replaying that gunfight in his mind.

Qu Tuotuo ate this meal very unhappily.

From start to finish, Yu Dazhang hadn't said much; she had been the one finding topics to chat with him.

However, Qu Tuotuo also saw that he had encountered something troubling, and it was definitely work-related.

Since he didn't want to talk about it, Qu Tuotuo didn't press further.

Worth mentioning, Yu Dazhang paid for the meal; his attitude was firm, giving Qu Tuotuo no chance to split the bill.

After eating, Qu Tuotuo suggested taking a walk in a nearby park.

This way of a man and woman walking together to foster affection is now called holding hands while strolling in spring; in the past, it was called crushing the pavement.

The name differs, but the form remains unchanged.

They didn't find a park, but there was a square nearby.

The two found a bench at the edge of the square and sat down; Yu Dazhang still looked distracted.

It was already early July, and the temperature in Songhai was getting hotter and hotter.

More and more people came to the square at night to cool off and stroll.

Among them, many young couples would embrace intimately, kiss, or even do deeper things...

If you think that's exaggerated, it only means you don't know how to play.

The two chatted on and off; Yu Dazhang's eyes were unfocused, his mind still thinking about the case.

Seeing him too gloomy, Qu Tuotuo decided to tease him.

Not far from them, a young man and woman were kissing; Qu Tuotuo patted his thigh:

"Look over there."

Yu Dazhang followed her gaze and quickly spotted the couple.

"What's wrong?"

Qu Tuotuo smiled subtly:

"Do you want to do that?"

Yu Dazhang paused for a moment, frowned, and asked:

"Will that woman let me kiss her?"
