Chapter 88 Grandpa Wang Departs for Luocheng
The next day.
A ray of sunlight pierced through the clouds and spilled into the Muhe train station.
Uncle Wang sat in a seat right next to the window, watching the crowds boarding on the platform, and couldn't help but smile.
When this train started, it meant that his bad luck was about to disappear.
He finally wouldn't have to go to that detestable detention room every day like clocking in for work.
Comfortable, very comfortable!
Especially since, with this departure, he would finally not have to see Xiao Liu.
"Dad, you're so happy."
Wang Xiuqing looked at the smile on her father's face and felt happy herself.
Isn't the purpose of working hard to earn money just to see the smiles on one's parents' faces?
"Happy, I'm truly so happy!"
Uncle Wang had a smile on his face and nodded repeatedly.
This time, agreeing to go to Luocheng with his daughter to have fun seemed like filial piety on her part, but he actually had two goals in mind.
First, he had repeatedly hit walls with his melon points recently, so he needed to change his environment to shake off his bad luck, and going out for a trip was a good choice.
Second, taking advantage of this time away, he wanted to properly brainwash his daughter, Wang Xiuqing, to turn her thinking around and completely destroy the engagement between his daughter and Xiao Liu.
Thinking about it, with his daughter and Xiao Liu not seeing each other for a few days, plus his own lobbying on the side, breaking the two of them up wouldn't be a problem.
This trip was a heavy-duty mission.
"If you're happy, I'm happy!"
After saying this, Wang Xiuqing indicated that she was going to the restroom.
Soon, she arrived in another carriage.
She checked the seat numbers one by one, and when a boy wearing a fisherman's hat and a mask appeared in her line of sight, a smile appeared on her face.
She walked over in a few quick steps.
"Covered up so tightly, aren't you hot?"
As she spoke, she sat down in the seat next to Xiao Liu.
This seat had also been reserved by her in advance.
"I'm roasting, but I can't not follow your request."
Xiao Liu lifted the brim of his hat; he always felt that on such a hot day, being covered up so tightly made him look a bit like a thief.
"There's no choice, if my dad sees you, it's all over."
Both of their jobs were actually quite busy.
She ran a beauty salon and had many things to handle every day, and Xiao Liu was a police officer who was also very busy; they simply didn't have time otherwise.
They could only take advantage of the time when she was taking her father out to play to bring Xiao Liu along.
"Actually, it would be fine to just confess to your dad. I'm quite familiar with your dad. Dating is such a normal thing, and you're already 25."
"If that doesn't work, I'll go over now and call him Father-in-law directly."
Xiao Liu was also a man of action, and as soon as he finished speaking, he was about to stand up to do it.
This action of his really scared Wang Xiuqing.
"No, no!"
"My dad is particularly opposed to us being together. If you go over and call him Father-in-law, I'm afraid it might make him sick with anger."
Wang Xiuqing grabbed Xiao Liu's arm tightly, her face full of worry.
Opposed to me being with his daughter?
Xiao Liu looked thoughtful; he had probably guessed the reason.
It should be because he thinks police work is too dangerous.
After all, homicide cases had been happening at the police station every day recently.
If he put himself in the other person's shoes, he could actually understand it.
It wasn't that he hadn't thought about the fact that he often locked Uncle Wang up.
But those were all routine inquiries; even without him, there were still Xiao Zhang, Xiao Sun, Xiao Wang...
Surely he couldn't blame him for that, right?
He even dried his quilt and made his bed for him.
"Alright, I'll come find you later, I'm going back first."
After Wang Xiuqing said this, she hurried back.
As soon as she sat down, her father's voice rang in her ear.
"Wang Xiuqing, I think the matter between you and Xiao Liu is still somewhat inappropriate!"
Uncle Wang said in a slow, leisurely tone.
"The work of a criminal police officer seems glamorous, but in reality, the dangers involved are not something that can be told to outsiders."
"Just take this week, for example; seven days in a week, and there were homicide cases for seven consecutive days. The culprits were more cruel than the last!"
"What if one day Xiao Liu provokes a criminal and they retaliate against him?"
Wang Xiuqing looked confused upon hearing this; how would her father know about the affairs of the police station?
Could it be that he often goes to the police station to watch the excitement?
After all, he was her own father; as his daughter, she naturally knew very well what he liked to do.
"Dad, how do you know about the things at the police station?"
Upon hearing this, Uncle Wang swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue. He had to give a plausible reason, otherwise, what he had just said would have no persuasive power.
"Because of Xiao Chen; he told me."
He couldn't say that he had seen it with his own eyes.
...
At the same time.
At the entrance of the Muhe Municipal Bureau.
Chen Mo counted out 3,000 yuan in cash from his pocket and handed it to Long Hao.
He wouldn't participate in the subsequent court hearings or the public speeches before the media.
It was all just a formality anyway; whether he went or not wouldn't make a difference.
"Here."
Long Hao took the money and then handed the bun and soy milk in his hand to Chen Mo.
The two walked inside.
"Have you met Elder Liu? I plan to make a trip to Luocheng to pay him a visit."
"There aren't many days left before we go to the provincial capital."
Captain Long had joined the force many years before him and had known the Instructor for a long time; he had always been the backbone of the Municipal Bureau, so he had likely visited and learned from him before.
"Hmm, there really isn't much time left."
"I visited Elder Liu two years ago; he's not very easy to get along with."
As he spoke, he took a bite of the bun, looking as if he were saying, "Good luck to you, kid."
Not easy to get along with?
If that was the case, then there was absolutely no need for him to go.
For other criminal police officers, having an experienced senior to provide guidance was, of course, a great thing.
But for him, it was different.
His own strength could be built up entirely by relying on melon points.
In other words, having a senior's guidance was best, but if not, it didn't matter; it wouldn't affect the big picture.
The main reason for going to Luocheng was that he wanted to go out and relax.
That was the closest tourist city to Muhe.
After all, in the few days since he had transmigrated here, he had either been working on a case or on the way to working on a case.
Working non-stop, he was truly mentally exhausted.
"Hey! Don't stop going just because of what I said."
"Elder Liu is one of the top criminal police officers of the older generation in our province; many of the experiences in police academy textbooks were summarized by their older generation."
"He has strong ability and rich experience; him being difficult to get along with is also something developed from years of being on the front lines, fighting against criminals."
This time, Chen Mo understood.
Not easy to get along with didn't mean he was a bad person, but rather that he was likely the type who kept a straight face, didn't like to smile, and was very serious.
The exact opposite of the Instructor's personality.
More like a strict teacher.
If that was the case, Chen Mo could accept it.
"Alright, I'll go say hello to the Instructor."
After saying that, he headed straight to the Instructor's office.
Reasonably, Elder Liu was the Instructor's teacher, so he had to greet him in advance before visiting.
Logically, he was a subordinate, and being out for several days, it was only proper to indicate his whereabouts.
——Knock, knock, knock.
