Miss Assassin is heavily addicted

Chapter 51, Section 8. A gentle afternoon breeze brushed against her hair.
—Lane 11, Ma Kang Street—

In front of the watch shop.

"Thank you for your cooperation. If the intelligence is verified later, we will contact you and give you the appropriate reward."

As she spoke, Loris calmly tucked the black pen into the pocket on her breast pocket, then slammed the black notebook shut with a 'cough'—

The silver handcuffs on her wrists swayed as she did so.

The swaying of the chains carried to the other end, where He Ye's wrist, hanging below, lay half-dead.

Seeing this, He Ye stretched out his right hand and spread his palms.

Immediately afterwards, Lolis placed the black book in his hand.

"Thank you for your cooperation," He Ye said.

The two men turned and left, calmly as if they were already used to the silver handcuffs, leaving the watch shop owner standing there in astonishment, wondering if police officers were this strict when on duty these days.
In fact, He Ye had already gotten used to it, after all, being handcuffed for half an hour at a time~ Sigh, I have to say, Loris is really ruthless.

"The handcuffs should be almost off by now, right?" He Ye complained helplessly.

"Who told you to try and run away?" Loris frowned. "What, did it bother you?"

"...awesome."

"Don't say anything vague. The next shop will be the last one on this street." Loris turned her head and continued to look around.

The conversation between the two was unremarkable.

Half an hour had passed since they reunited, and He Ye and her silver handcuffs had been on for half an hour as well—it was all a misunderstanding that things turned out this way. The blame lies with He Ye for being too panicked when she was caught slacking off under the banyan tree earlier.

'I go! '

"Are you trying to die?! Still running away!"

Although He Ye later explained that he was investigating suspicious individuals by starting with the children. After all, who knows what these little ones know? Maybe they'll bring good news.

However, as Lolis took He Ye's notebook and looked through it, she confirmed that the dozens of entries were all unimportant messages, either framed by neighbors or biographies of wealthy grandfathers keeping mistresses. Thus, she defined He Ye's behavior as slacking off.

Oh ~
Heaven and earth can bear witness that he was genuinely conducting a serious investigation at the time.

Loris despised He Ye, who instinctively sought refuge under the banyan tree. To prevent any real escape attempt, she went all out and handcuffed him, making him look like an arrested criminal.

According to He Ye, this was purely a misunderstanding.

There was nothing that could be done; once Lolis made up her mind, it seemed difficult to change it, not to mention that in her eyes, He Ye was just an auxiliary police officer with a history of slacking off.

The distance between the two people cannot be more than one meter, because the silver handcuff chains are only that long.

She sways as she walks, and the stares of the surrounding citizens make her feel like she's being publicly executed. Although she hasn't been punished yet, He Ye feels that following her on duty is the greatest ordeal.

Sigh, if the next few days are like this, it's definitely going to be tough.

"Hello, this is a routine investigation by the National Security Bureau."

At the end of Lane 11, Ma Kang Street, the two walked to the front of a dairy shop, and their greetings woke the shop owner who was taking a nap.

The middle-aged shop owner, looking around in a daze, saw a male and female police officer standing in front of him, with gleaming silver chains hanging from their wrists.

The shop owner rubbed his eyes again, making sure he was awake, and mumbled something:

"Hello, sirs."

After a three- or four-minute routine inquiry.

"Thank you for your cooperation." Loris closed the book.

"Thank you for your cooperation." He Ye extended his hand.

The coordination was already quite smooth. Lolis's black book fell into He Ye's hands, and then the two turned and left, leaving the dairy shop owner rubbing his eyes again, completely stunned.

Walk out of the store.

He Ye couldn't help but complain again: "It's really time to untie it, Commander Loris."

Loris checked the surrounding area to make sure she hadn't missed anything, then planned to cross the alley to the next location. She thought for a moment and replied:
"You have ill intentions."

"You don't trust me."

“I trusted you once, and you end up playing with stones with a bunch of kids?” Loris said disdainfully. “I really don’t know what you’re thinking.”

He Ye felt a mix of emotions and said frankly:

"Everyone says it's an investigation. Of course, I admit I rested for a bit, but it was no more than five minutes. You came at just the right time."

Thinking back to this morning, she arrived at just the right time.

After listening, Lolis remained silent for a while, then looked at her own wrist. The area where the silver handcuffs were fastened wasn't red, but He Ye's wrist was in terrible shape; the area around his wrist was already red.

He always seemed to be intentionally raising his hands. For example, when Lolis was writing in her notebook, He Ye would raise his handcuffed hands so that she could move freely, which was a hardship for him, who was like a scarecrow.

“…” Loris snorted coldly, “Let’s talk after we walk through this alley.”

"Yes, yes." He Ye breathed a sigh of relief.

The intriguing thing is that after walking a few dozen steps, the two encountered a situation that seemed strangely familiar.

Around the corner—

Two figures appeared, and the familiar voice rang out again.

"Hey buddy, here's what you wanted."

Is this the latest work from the boy group TNT (Teens in Times)?

"Of course, we also have the album you requested, 'Passionate Night ~ Ode to the Most Passionate Feelings in My Heart,' but the sound quality isn't great. I hope you can understand, after all, it's a small workshop."

"Buy it, buy it!!"

Heye:?
Looking at the two rustling figures a dozen meters away, He Ye thought, "That guy hasn't left? And what's with that CD title? I have absolutely no idea what the song titles are..."

Meanwhile, Loris beside her had already sharpened her eyes, ready to strike!

"stop!"

Loris suddenly shouted and ran forward quickly!
Without a doubt, the manhunt is underway!

He Ye almost fell over; the silver handcuffs made him stagger, but he quickly stepped forward to regain his balance and then reluctantly followed the officer's steps.

As for the two people around the corner…

“Very spicy!”

"It's the cops! Run!"

The man in the suit and briefcase cried out in alarm, while the fan who had come to make the deal also turned around in fear—the two suspicious individuals split up and ran off in opposite directions, their movements as nimble as rabbits on the prairie.

Unfortunately, the predator was a golden cheetah.

"I left you right!"

Loris even gave instructions subconsciously.

He Ye couldn't hold back any longer and shouted, "The handcuffs aren't off!"

"Tsk!" Loris clicked her tongue, pulling her wrist sharply to the left. "Then let's grab that man in the suit first!"

Hearing their conversation, the fleeing man in the suit became even more frightened, thinking to himself, "Why do I always have to run into bad luck? I've had so many unlucky things before!"

"Bang!"

While feeling resentful, the man in the suit was distracted and bumped into a street lamp. He saw stars and fell to the ground, dropping his briefcase and looking utterly disheveled.

"Ouch, ouch, ouch!" He clutched his forehead and rolled on the ground.

He Ye and Loris arrived at his side a few seconds later. Loris immediately reached for the bag at her waist, but found nothing and realized what was happening.

"Handcuffs!" Lorris said.

He Ye quickly understood, reached into his waistband with one hand and tossed it over: "Here."

Lorice swiftly crouched down, ready to restrain the suspicious man first, since his first reaction upon seeing the police officer was to run away, which meant he was definitely feeling guilty!
"Wait!" The man in the suit cried out, struggling to his feet as he backed away. "I'm a good person! A good person! I'm not a bad person!"

Loris froze: "?"

"Sir! I'm just a selfless person who wants to share music!" The man in the suit quickly got up and said anxiously, "Please don't arrest me yet, let me explain!"

Clearly, after saying that, Loris didn't go any further, but she didn't let her guard down either, merely raising an eyebrow and saying:

"You'll have ten seconds."

The man in the suit breathed a sigh of relief, as if he had been granted a pardon. Just as he was about to explain his innocence, he discovered that there was a male police officer next to the female officer.

The male police officer was the 'good guy' they had met before.

It's subtle—

The male police officer was also handcuffed. When the man in the suit looked at him, he was almost dumbfounded, wondering if this guy was actually one of his men.

"You you you you you..." The man in the suit stammered for a moment.

He Ye calmly refused to speak: "Don't talk to me, just answer this officer's question."

The man in the suit had no choice but to swallow his anger, and a few seconds later turned around and did as he was told:

“Well, sir, I was just meeting that man for the first time. He only wanted to buy a few records—the records that are in my briefcase.”

As he spoke, the man in the suit opened his briefcase, revealing the scenery that He Ye had seen before.

The stacks of cheap black records now contained only six, whereas there were originally more than twenty.

Wow, they sold out really fast!

After listening, Loris thought for a moment and asked in return:

"Selling records? Then why are you doing it so secretly, like you're making a rendezvous?"

The man in the suit also had a prepared explanation in mind, which he gave:
"Because this singer's records have never been officially released, they were all secretly recorded by us fans, and some were even covered by others. Most importantly, this singer's songs are banned in the music industry. I don't know if you've heard his name... well, the legendary singer who debuted at the Big Bird Spinning Bar, Teacher Leon!"

"Teacher Leon?" Loris turned to look at He Ye. "The Big Bird Spinning Bar?"

Seeing this, He Ye calmly shrugged and remained silent, letting the other person think whatever they wanted about him.

Kloris did not pursue the matter further.

She knew the singer in that bar, and he sang very well, which she appreciated. But as a listener, she didn't care who the singer was, and that wasn't the point right now.

"In short, I understand what you're doing."

Loris bent down and, without any mercy, grabbed his hands, saying:
"Since you say that this music is prohibited from being released, and that you are also producing it privately for sale, then this constitutes a commercial violation, and I will hand you over to the police later."

"No!" the man in the suit cried out in terror.

"Name?" After being handcuffed, Loris took out a pen and notebook to write it down.

“Logan Maker…” the man in the suit said, sounding utterly despondent.

Lolis wrote calmly, while He Ye watched from the side, feeling truly sorry for the fan who was so obsessed with making money. He should have stopped at the right time.

Noticing He Ye's slightly sympathetic gaze, the man in the suit—Logan Makek—seemed to have found a lifeline and immediately began to plead:
"Sir! Please put in a good word for me! You're a fan of his too, right?"

The moment the words fell—

Loris raised an eyebrow, looking at him with an air of pressure.

He Ye quickly distanced himself from the situation and said seriously:

“There is no leniency when it comes to violating public order. Ultimately, you did not obtain the singer’s authorization, which not only disrespects the singer but also seeks personal gain. You should have realized that this would be the outcome.”

He Ye's righteous words made Lolis look away, while Logan couldn't help but lose heart again and stare blankly... Yes, from being a fan at the beginning to having feelings that later changed, this ending was, in a way, fate.

Of course, the most important thing is that Logan could sense that the male police officer had no say. How could he have any say when his wrists were handcuffed with silver handcuffs?

"Woooooooooooo..."

In the 3 p.m. sunlight, the two men escorted Logan Macy to the police car on the side of the street.

The police officers from the Public Security Bureau were driving around like crazy.

As for those discs, Lolis didn't hand over the discs she initially took out of her briefcase either. It's unclear what her purpose was; perhaps she simply forgot.

However, the officers from the policing department didn't dwell on it. After all, they were just a few ordinary, low-quality records. The law stated confiscating illegal items, but these pirated records would ultimately end up in the hands of other officers for evaluation. After the fan was arrested—

He Ye and Lolis continued their boring investigation, but fortunately she finally managed to unlock the silver handcuffs this time, and threw the records into the police car instead of carrying them with her.

Visiting and investigating in progress~

The workload from 3 to 4 o'clock is 82 people.

The workload from 4 to 5 o'clock is 75 people.

The workload from 5 to 6 o'clock was so heavy that He Ye had to kneel on the ground in agony.

One hundred and one hundred and two people! (Because of the rush hour)
As the sun sets and the light under the trees softens into a golden hue, crowds of people gather after get off work, and the aroma of stewed peas and pork wafts from the streets.

He Ye drank directly from the tap by the roadside, the clear water flowing into his mouth, not caring whether the water source was hygienic, just because his mouth was dry.

After a while, he looked up and wiped his mouth, leaving a damp mark on his police uniform on his chest.

"How much is left?" He Ye asked numbly. He rarely said he couldn't hold on, but this time he really felt like he was about to collapse.

“This is the last section we were responsible for, and we have already completed the investigation,” Loris said, pointing to a page in her notebook as she looked at the street scene of Lane 14.

Upon hearing this, He Ye neither cheered nor wept with joy; instead, he let out a deep breath—the numb black slaves were finally freed.

To be honest, it's mealtime again and my stomach is starting to rumble.

Just then, two police officers walked slowly along the roadside under the green trees, accompanied by the setting sun.

In the gentle afternoon breeze, they walked lightly and looked relaxed, while a young man on a bicycle jingled past them.

"Have you finished the investigation here?"

Rayleigh looked at the map in his hand. This street should, in principle, be their responsibility to investigate and search.

Officer Rory, upon seeing Lorris, approached her, saluted, and reported:
"The door-to-door investigation has been completed, involving a total of 397 people. I have written a few noteworthy pieces of information at the beginning."

Loris closed the black notebook and put it in her breast pocket: "Well, let's call it a day and head back to the police station. Thanks for your hard work."

Soon enough, the four officers turned and walked along the street.

Rory and Lorris walked ahead, but the mature male police officer intentionally lagged behind by half a step, since the leader was naturally the superior.

He Ye and Lei Li walked side by side, the two auxiliary police officers looking like good brothers. When he saw how exhausted He Ye looked, he naturally gloated and bumped his shoulder with Lei Li's.

"how do you feel?"

"Get out, get out, get out." He Ye was too lazy to even speak, his throat was parched.

"Well, it seems like going on a mission with that female officer won't be easy. But we still don't have any definite news about what happened before, so, how should I put it?"

He glanced at him upon hearing this, and thinking about today's experience, he realized that things were looking promising. He planned to go to Narcissus Street after get off work to find Brant and the others to record an official album—it was guaranteed to make money.

So He Ye didn't say anything, but gave him an OK sign.

Rayleigh understood and gave a thumbs up.

Then they returned to the police car, and the four of them opened the car door and got in, finally able to give their legs, which had walked tens of thousands of steps, a rest.

He Ye leaned against the car seat somewhat unceremoniously as the evening breeze blew in through the open window.

Her black hair was blown by the wind.

No one was talking; everyone was resting. Loris's blonde hair was being tossed about by the wind, and He Ye could smell a faint fragrance from the back seat.

He watched the street scene outside gradually change from familiar to unfamiliar, and it took him about thirty minutes to drive from Ma Kang Street to the police station of the intelligence department.

"Then I'll go and fill up the police car with some gas."

After Rory finished speaking, he put the three of them down, and the police car disappeared around the street corner.

The spy department building was just across the street. The three of them walked casually, while He Ye stopped in front of a fruit shop, since his throat was dry and he wanted to eat some fruit.

"You guys go first."

As He Ye spoke, she picked out some fruit, intending to buy some to eat on the way home.

Loris and Rayleigh ignored him, with Rayleigh even quickly following his superior to fawn over him, displaying a clear contrast between his public praise and his private fear.

Dusk is approaching, and the streetlights will soon come on.

He Ye picked through the fruit in front of the basket. The shop owner, a middle-aged woman, asked, "Are these green fruits sweet?"

The woman didn't reply, but calmly squinted and quoted the price:
"Two crowns per ounce."

Okay, He Ye held the fruit in his hand and weighed it. It would probably cost two yuan for three green plums. They looked a lot like the wild plums from his hometown. These things were so sweet that they could make you sour.

He Ye casually weighed out some green fruit, picked up the bag, and turned around to walk towards the station, eating as he went. After all, the training content mentioned that auxiliary police officers also needed to "clock out" every day and submit a work diary to their superiors.

The unwashed green fruit was still lying in his hand.

He Ye took a bite.

Then his face contorted instantly.

Oh my god, this is so sour...

He Ye swallowed with difficulty, staring at the unripe fruit in his hand, thinking that he had been tricked by the bag of mountain plums—fortunately, he hadn't taken too many, only three or four, and mostly other common fruits.

Upon arriving at the police station, He Ye found many officers 'busy' inside, but he had no idea what they were busy with.

He circled the room twice but didn't see anything of value, except for a "Interrogation Room No. 3" confession record book on an officer's desk.

Worth noting.

It was open casually, displaying the names, ages, and countries of the two spies; for anything more, you had to turn the page.

He Ye didn't make a move; he simply calmly withdrew his gaze. The two spies from Country C were named Victor and Larry, weren't they...?

"The new employee is back from get off work? How was your first day?"

When David, a fellow officer in the same group, saw He Ye return, he greeted him happily. He was clearly a little guilty for not taking care of her in the morning and planned to give her a proper welcome when he returned in the evening.

He Ye recalled today's events, shook his head, and joked:

"I regret not switching jobs."

After saying that, He Ye took out a piece of fruit from the bag and handed it over. He knew how to handle interpersonal relationships. This was a senior colleague in the same group who had shown kindness before.
Officer David did not refuse, after all, it was a kind offer from a newcomer, and the two chatted happily.

At that moment, Sergeant Draco, who was reading a newspaper nearby, came over upon hearing the noise:

"Newbie, I wasn't kidding you, was I?"

He Ye doesn't have any prejudice against this hook-nosed sergeant at the moment; he can only say that he was unlucky to run into him this morning.

After replying casually for a few minutes, he planned to sit down and write his work report, then hand it to Loris and go home.

For some reason, his voice was echoed by others, and several police officers came to He Ye's side to tease him, laughing heartily as he wrote his work report—these people were just joining in the fun.

They probably wanted to see how badly someone was messed with by Loris, so they could join in the吐槽 (tu cao, meaning to complain or criticize) with them.

"It's tough being a newbie."

He Ye felt a little embarrassed but had no choice but to deal with it, after all, these were just part of the game of interpersonal relationships—until a police officer noticed his bag of fruit and started by saying, "This fruit looks very sweet~".

He Ye knew that this bag of stuff, which cost around 20 yuan, had to be shared.

"You're welcome, you're welcome."

"You're too kind! You're too kind!"

He Ye quickly finished dividing the group. If this were a dating simulation game, the male police officers around her would probably have statuses like "+3 affection" or "+2 affection" popping up above their heads at this point.

In the end, only a few green fruits were left in the bag.

I'll buy it later.

Thinking to himself, He Ye finished writing his work report. He glanced around and saw that Commander Loris had just returned, with Rayleigh fawning over her, practically wagging his tail like a lapdog.

He Ye stepped forward and said calmly, "Sir, if there's nothing else in today's diary, I'll be going home now."

Loris sat down, closed the statement record, looked at the paper He Ye handed her, took it, and nodded: "Hmm."

Riley, standing next to him, pulled off his bag of fruit and nudged him with his shoulder, like a dog wagging its tail after smelling it.
"Hey, give me one, I'm parched after a long day."

He Ye knew it was hard to refuse, since all the other officers in the surrounding offices had received some, and not sharing would seem petty.

These few green fruits are a bit sour and astringent.

But Rayleigh said it didn't matter.

"Here, for you." He Ye handed him the mountain plums.

Rayleigh looked at the green fruit in his hand and immediately raised an eyebrow warily: "Why is it so green? Won't it be so sour it'll kill me?"

Seeing this, He Ye took out a mountain plum from the bag to show her innocence, then silently took a bite and said with a straight face: "Sweet."

He couldn't very well say it wasn't sweet, otherwise Rayleigh would realize he was tricking him, and he could just explain later that he accidentally gave him a sour one.

And just then...

Officer Rory also pushed open the door and came back, seeing the two officers huddled together holding green fruit, and greeted them in a friendly manner:

"Are you two ready to leave work?"

"Good day, sir!" Rayleigh had a good impression of him.

He Ye also had a good impression of him and hoped to follow him on duty tomorrow, so it was inevitable that they would need to share fruit—but he only had one plum left in his hand.

Officer Rory was almost there.

Seeing this, He Ye had no choice but to make a quick decision. He turned around and said, in order not to embarrass anyone, that before Officer Rory arrived, the only option was to give the sour plum to Loris. This way, the unripe plum would not be too sour for her, and it would also alleviate the situation of having no fruit to share.

After all, Loris was his superior, so it was understandable that he gave her the last one.

That's right~
"Here's a green fruit for you, Loris. Thank you for your hard work."

He Ye said calmly with a straight face.

When Lolis saw the green fruit on the table, she instinctively frowned and said, "You dare to eat such a green fruit? Are you trying to die?"

Of course, she was still a little surprised by this gesture of goodwill, after all, He Ye seemed to have a bad relationship with her and had many disagreements with her... She didn't expect that she had misunderstood.

Just as He Ye was about to speak tactfully, Rayleigh spoke up to explain:

"No, it's very sweet. Leon just took a bite in front of me and said it was sweet."

Rayleigh was holding his police uniform sleeve, rubbing the unripe surface of the plum, intending to breathe on it before taking a bite and savoring the sweet, green flesh.

Seeing this, He Ye decided to leave quickly, laughing awkwardly as he passed Officer Luo Li.

In short, what happened is no longer his concern.

We'll talk about it tomorrow; he has things to do after get off work.

After He Ye left, Loris looked at the green fruit on the table with a suspicious gaze: "...?"

Rayleigh had already bitten into the plum and was standing to the side when his face suddenly turned sour that he almost lost control. But noticing that Loris was about to look over, he knew he couldn't show his sourness—because he had just been appreciating the sweetness not long ago.

"So sweet."

Rayleigh clenched his teeth and forced a smile.

Loris picked up the green fruit with some skepticism and gently rubbed its surface with her fingers.

Seeing this, Rayleigh also hurried away, fleeing in panic without even having time to say goodbye to Rory.

Just as Rayleigh turned around, Loris had already taken a bite and was silently savoring it.

One second later——

The girl's face scrunched up from the sourness, and she quickly spat out the fruit. Just as she was about to say that it wasn't sweet at all, she realized that the two auxiliary police officers had already slipped away.

When I came to my senses, I was belatedly filled with embarrassment and anger.

"Damn! You're just kidding me!"

Those two bastards took a bite right in front of her and kept their faces straight, saying it wasn't sour! Loris slammed her hand on the table and stood up in anger, but it was too late to catch up with the guys who had slipped away.
