Detective: I, Cao Jianjun, started by arresting my brother-in-law.

"Brother Cao!"

Xia Jie greeted them with a sweet smile, then grabbed the policewoman next to her and asked, "Do you still recognize me?"

"This is?"

Cao Jianjun blinked, looking puzzled. "You look familiar. Are you one of the new police officers at our station?"

"Officer Cao... Officer Cao."

The policewoman in front of him spoke somewhat shyly, and Cao Jianjun suddenly realized: "Xu Yingzi?"

After not seeing her for several months, Cao Jianjun could hardly recognize Xu Yingzi.

She wore a neat, close-fitting police uniform, a rolled-brimmed hat, and had her hair tied in a ponytail.

With her delicate features and spirited eyes, she is the epitome of a strong and capable woman.

Thinking back to the girl who had attempted suicide several times at Green Vine, I couldn't believe it.

"Don't you recognize me anymore?"

Gao, the police chief, walked up from behind and patted Cao Jianjun on the shoulder, saying, "Xu Yingzi has been an auxiliary police officer in our station for three months now."

"In two months, our branch will be holding a recruitment exam for police officers open to the public."

"When the exam comes around May 5.2nd, Yingzi is going to give it her all. If she passes, she'll be a proper police officer."

Cao Jianjun stared at Xu Yingzi in astonishment, unable to help but admire her.

"Good! Very good, Yingzi. How are your parents?"

"They are still in their hometown."

Xu Yingzi smiled sweetly and said, "I am where I am today because of Brother Cao."

"Don't say that, you really did it all on your own."

Cao Jianjun gave him a thumbs up and said, "Keep it up. No matter what, I welcome you to the police force."

"I will."

Xu Yingzi looked a little more mature than her previous girlish image: "And Sister Xia Jie, she has been with me and helping me work hard ever since I came to Balihe."

"That was just something I did incidentally."

Xia Jie said modestly.

"Brother Cao..."

Xu Yingzi looked up at Cao Jianjun and said, "I want to take the exam to become a criminal police officer. What do you think?"

259. Xu Yingzi is in danger, Cao Jianjun panics. [2nd update, please subscribe]

"A detective?"

Cao Jianjun was stunned when he heard this.

however.

Looking at Gao Chao, Cheng Suo, Xia Jie, and the others next to him, they all had very calm expressions.

Obviously, everyone knows this.

Now that Xu Yingzi is asking her questions, it seems she has already regarded her as a life mentor.

This left Cao Jianjun somewhat amused and exasperated. He put one hand on his hip and scratched his nose with the other.

"Yingzi, being a criminal investigator is no joke."

"I know."

Xu Yingzi said firmly, her pretty face showing determination, "I saw a quote online that I think makes some sense."

"It is said that children who have been caught in the rain will always think of holding an umbrella for others."

"I was bullied by others, but I was reborn because of Officer Cao."

"So... I want to become a criminal police officer, just like Brother Cao, and fight those evil criminals to the end."

This sounds like a child who aspires to be a scientist when he grows up.

But the difference is that Xu Yingzi has changed.

Despite having experienced filth and harm, she still possesses a pure gaze, a purity that is far more resolute than before.

"Build an army".

Gao Chao then put away his smile and said seriously, "You should try to persuade Yingzi. This girl is pushing herself to the limit every day in order to become a criminal police officer."

"Look at her hands, 04..."

Hear the words.

Cao Jianjun then looked over, but Xu Yingzi hurriedly pulled her hands behind her back, smiling awkwardly as she lowered her head.

Xia Jie then grabbed Xu Yingzi's hand and pulled it away; the scene was nothing short of shocking.

His palms didn't look like those of a police officer at all; they were covered in thick calluses.

Every joint on the back of his hand was covered in scars.

His wrists were even rougher than Cao Jianjun's.

Then, considering Xu Yingzi's statement, "I want to be a criminal police officer," it can no longer be taken as a joke.

While Cao Jianjun was still in a daze, Cheng Suo, Gao Chao, and others patted Cao Jianjun meaningfully before turning around and entering the hotel.

After all, everyone came to congratulate the director. Now, handing Xu Yingzi over to Cao Jianjun is in the hope that he can save this girl once again.

It's clear to everyone that Xu Yingzi is filled with hatred.

In Green Vine, the hurt caused by Sun Xing and the death of her younger brother have not faded from her heart.

She was only trying to pull herself together for her parents' sake.

At the same time, for the sake of his younger brother and himself, he resolved to join the police force.

"Yingzi always goes on police missions with us..."

After the male police officers left, Xia Jie stood to the side and explained, "I get up early every morning to run, and I practice boxing after work in the evening."

"Her current fighting skills are so good that even Gao Suo is no match for her."

“Every weekend, I go to the shooting range to practice my marksmanship, so… my wrists are so tired.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Xia Jie entered the hotel.

"Yingzi..."

Cao Jianjun pulled up a chair and offered it to Xu Yingzi: "Can we sit down and talk?"

"Ah."

Xu Yingzi is still the same familiar young girl.

Xu Yingzi took the chair that Cao Jianjun handed her and sat down next to him. Beneath her seemingly frail appearance, she harbored a heart that was ready to die for her cause.

This is the most terrible.

Cao Jianjun didn't know how to persuade him, but he knew that it was better to guide than to suppress.

"Yingzi, where do you want to become a criminal investigator?"

Hearing this, Xu Yingzi seemed surprised and looked up at Cao Jianjun: "Officer Cao, do you agree with me?"

"What can my disagreement change?"

Cao Jianjun said with a wry smile, "Also, stop calling me Officer Cao. Just call me 'brother,' like Xia Jie does."

"Oh! Brother Cao..."

Xu Yingzi seemed to be encountering someone who recognized her potential as a criminal investigator for the first time, and she was somewhat excited: "Brother Cao, do you really think I can be a criminal investigator?"

"Actually, no."

Cao Jianjun first praised him, then criticized him: "Do you know why?"

"Is it because I don't have the strength?"

"No."

Cao Jianjun shook his head and said, "Grassroots criminal police officers are idle all year round, with no major cases."

"Provincial criminal police officers deal with major cases all year round, especially those in special task forces..."

"They are just like you think, specializing in handling complex cases and targeting organized crime."

"But you're not suitable."

Xu Yingzi's pretty face showed some disappointment, but she gave a self-deprecating smile and said, "I will try my best."

"You're working in the wrong direction."

"What do you mean?"

"You are filled with hatred."

Cao Jianjun looked at her calmly: "With hatred in your heart, how can you enforce the law objectively? With hatred in your heart, how can you handle cases normally?"
