Lin City was located by the Jade River. Every spring, the entire city seemed to be shrouded in cool water vapor, humid and fresh.
On this ordinary cloudy day, there was an unusual commotion in the city police station.
It was because two young policewomen trainees had come to the Criminal Police Unit.
This was not a big deal. However, after the two girls sat in the office for a while, many police officers poked their heads out of the door.
They looked very special.
The young criminal police officer, Zhao Han, was the contact person for this internship. At this moment, he was like his colleagues, staring at the two girls in front of him, a little dazed.
One was very beautiful, the other … was very strange.
The one sitting on the left was called Yao Meng, a graduate student in criminal psychology at the People's Public Security University. She had long hair and big eyes, wore a simple white shirt and jeans, and also looked like a model from a youth magazine. There was a lot of honors on her resume, such as scholarship, outstanding student cadre, celebrity anchor of the school's TV station, top ten contestant in the speech contest …
Zhao Han had a hunch that she would undoubtedly become the new beauty of Lin City's police force.
As for the other one called Xu Xu …
From her resume, Xu Xu's grades were very good, and she was ranked first in the department every year.
However, Zhao Han was very suspicious about how she got into the police academy. Was she 1.6 meters tall? She was so thin, even when she sat in the chair, she looked like an underage girl. Furthermore, his skin was so pale that there was no color of blood, and his facial features were "understated". At first glance, she looked like … Yes, like a vampire in an American drama. However, she was wearing a very formal long black trench coat, and the hem of the coat reached her ankles, which did not match her young appearance at all. It made her look a little strange and a little ridiculous.
Also, her name, Xu Xu, was it pronounced 'xu'?
'Shh shh?'
Zhao Han wanted to laugh, but he had always been a shy and kind young man. Thus, he maintained a gentle expression and looked away from Xu Xu.
Just as he was about to speak, Xu Xu looked up at him.
This gaze made Zhao Han a little dazed.
They had chatted for a few minutes before, and most of the time, it was Yao Meng talking to him. Xu Xu had been silent, and did not even look at him as a senior.
But now, he realized that her pupils were especially dark, so dark that it was a little scary. Her eyes were very calm, neither humble nor arrogant.
That feeling … It was as if she had already seen through his thoughts and the judgment he had for her.
But in the next moment, she hung her head again, and looked as pale and helpless as ever.
Zhao Han coughed softly. "Captain Ji is on leave for the next few days. When he returns, he will confirm the two of you as trainee teachers."
Yao Meng's eyes lit up. "You mean Senior Ji Bai, the one with the highest crime solving rate in the entire Great Southwest Region?"
Zhao Han smiled and nodded.
"Is he going to be our teacher?" Xu Xu suddenly interrupted. Even her voice was weak and thin.
Zhao Han replied, "We'll have to wait for Captain Ji's return to decide."
The young policewomen had a saying in private — Ji Bai looked gentle and refined, but after getting along with him for a long time, they realized that the more handsome he was, the harder his heart was, whether it was towards criminals or women who admired him.
Therefore, even though the director had verbally instructed them to let these two talented students follow the deputy captain of the Criminal Police Unit, Ji Bai, and another senior police officer as an intern. However, Zhao Han understood Ji Bai's character. How could he have the patience to train trainees? And a delicate female trainee at that?
"I'm your contact person for the internship. You can look for me if you need anything," Zhao Han said. "This is a copy of the Internship Instructions."
The two of them took it and read it attentively. The scholarly aura between their brows was equally obvious. Zhao Han waited for a while. Seeing that they did not have any questions, he asked curiously, "Let's talk about something else. Since you're studying this, do you think that psychological analysis is useful in solving cases?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Yao Meng answered, "I think it's useful. However, we only have some theory and are far from being able to put it into practice. So, we'll have to consult you more in the future, Officer Zhao. Please don't think it's too troublesome. "
Zhao Han suddenly smiled. "You're welcome, we'll learn from each other."
He looked at Xu Xu again, but she only nodded faintly. "I agree."
Then, she shut her mouth, as if she was unwilling to say another word.
Zhao Han felt a little helpless. He thought to himself that this girl really did not know how to do things. He was afraid that she would hit a wall at work in the future.
Yao Meng was still smiling, as if she was already used to Xu Xu's indifference. However, she looked at Zhao Han with a helpless and apologetic gaze.
However, Zhao Han did not care too much about it. He said half-jokingly, "You guys analyze me and see if I'm right."
Ordinary people always regarded psychological analysis as something as mysterious as fortune-telling. This young police officer, who was a bit of a busybody, was no exception.
Yao Meng blinked. "Brother Zhao, is this a test?"
"Just take it as the first test during your internship period."
The rest of the team was either in a meeting or out, so there were only the three of them. The honey-colored afternoon sun shone through the window, making the office bright and spacious.
Zhao Han could not help but feel a little uneasy as the two of them looked at him from head to toe.
Xu Xu's gaze returned to his face first, and it was cold. Zhao Han thought that she was going to speak, but she remained silent. She only placed her hand on her knee and tapped it gently as if she was used to it.
She was small, but she was doing the movements of a grown man. Her fingers were especially slender and pale, as if they could break at any time. It made Zhao Han feel a little uncomfortable.
After a while, Yao Meng's gaze returned to his face, and she looked eager to try.
"Who's going first?" He asked.
At this moment, Xu Xu glanced at Yao Meng with an indifferent look.
Yao Meng did not seem to notice and only looked at Zhao Han. "Why don't I go first?"
When Zhao Han saw this detail, he felt a little strange. It was their first meeting, so there was a limit to what they could analyze from him. The person who spoke first would naturally have an advantage.
Although they were students from the same faculty, they did not seem to be close. Xu Xu intentionally let Yao Meng speak first. Why?
At this moment, Yao Meng spoke, "First of all, you seem to be a casual person, but in fact, you're very organized. Your desk is very messy, but if you look closely, you'll notice that all the documents are arranged chronologically and then arranged according to the category of the case. Also, the documents that you gave us are also arranged quite clearly.
Secondly, you're very easy to get along with, and you're very considerate of the other party. This can not only be seen from your words and actions, but I also noticed that the 'Internship Instructions' that you gave us is not an official document, but one that you specially prepared for us. Because it uses a lot of colloquialisms, and you specifically marked the location of the female dormitory, restaurants, and even shopping malls … "
When she spoke up to this point, Zhao Han had already smiled, a cheerful and bright smile.
As if encouraged, Yao Meng's tone also became lighter. "… Thirdly, you have a girlfriend because you're wearing a very beautiful necklace. When you were talking to us just now, you unconsciously touched it a few times, and your expression became obviously gentler.
Fourthly, you're very eager to learn. Although you let us analyze you out of interest, when I started talking, you listened very attentively, and your eyes moved obviously faster, which means that you're thinking. Lastly … "
Yao Meng picked up a photo frame from the table and smiled brightly. "You're very proud of your work, and you're very dedicated. These photos of the police team's activities are neatly placed in the most eye-catching position on the table. I can only analyze so much for now. Please don't be offended if I'm wrong. "
Zhao Han laughed. "I'm not as good as you said. But your analysis is very interesting. "
Yao Meng's smile became even sweeter, and she took a sip of tea. Both of them looked at Xu Xu, who had been silent all this time.
Xu Xu still looked like an old monk in meditation, and there was no change in her expression. However, her fingers stopped tapping on her knees, and she put them down steadily.
Zhao Han inexplicably heaved a sigh of relief when he saw her action. However, he was very curious. Now that Yao Meng's analysis was comprehensive and accurate, what else could Xu Xu say?
Was she going to say that she agreed with her point of view?
He was very puzzled. Did this girl not like to show off, or did she not know what to say?
As if to confirm Zhao Han's thoughts, Xu Xu said, "I agree with her point of view."
Zhao Han suddenly did not know what to say.
Unexpectedly, Xu Xu continued, "Let me add a few more points."
Before Zhao Han could come back to his senses, he saw a pair of cold, dark eyes looking up at him.
However, she seemed to be a little unused to looking at someone for a long time, so she quickly looked down and avoided Zhao Han's direct gaze. However, her tone was very calm, and there was a kind of gentleness that was different from others, and it was quite pleasing to the ear.
"You do have a girlfriend, but you've been in a relationship for less than three months.
Today is her birthday, and the present you gave her is in the first drawer on the right.
Your right arm was injured recently.
You have a sister, and she's quite pretty … "
Hearing this, Zhao Han was already stunned, and a thought suddenly popped up in his mind. 'Did she investigate me?'
At this time, Xu Xu reached out, and her fingers slid across the photo frame on the far left of the table, and stopped on the lighter next to it. She looked down for a while, and there seemed to be a hint of a smile on her face.
"The most eye-catching thing on your table is not the photo frame, but this limited edition Zippo lighter.
You have a good personal relationship with Captain Ji, and you respect him very much. This lighter was a gift from him. Perhaps it was your birthday, or perhaps it was one of your promotions.
Later, you found an opportunity to return the favor with a pair of expensive sneakers. "
After saying this, she looked up at Zhao Han. "Officer Zhao, psychoanalysis is about probabilities. These are some of the conclusions that I think are the most likely. "
Her tone was still calm, but there was still a hint of anticipation and eagerness in her gaze when she looked at Zhao Han. It was as if she was waiting for Zhao Han to reveal the answer, and she finally revealed a bit of a student's innocence.
Zhao Han's eyes widened. "These … How did you know?"
Yao Meng, who had been holding the teacup, finally put it down gently and smiled. "Brother Zhao, Xu Xu is very good. “
At this time, Xu Xu showed a faint smile. Her eyes, which were originally full of age and experience, seemed to suddenly have some light in them. Her pale cheeks were also stained with a hint of red.
When Zhao Han saw her smile for the first time that day, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind. 'No wonder she let Yao Meng speak first.' Because he knew very well that if he spoke first, Yao Meng would have nothing to say.
***
When the bell rang, Zhao Han sat alone in the conference room, deep in thought.
If Yao Meng's inferences were based on evidence, then Xu Xu's conclusions were completely unconstrained. However, she was right, except for one thing, he did not have a biological sister, only a cousin. His cousin was indeed beautiful, and they were very close to each other, almost like a biological sister.
Later, Xu Xu explained the analysis process in detail, and Zhao Han's mood was a little indescribable because her deduction process was so simple.
After calming himself down, Zhao Han dialed Ji Bai's phone. "Captain."
Ji Bai was from Beijing, and he was going home to visit his family. He was probably outside, and there were many voices on the other end of the phone. After a while, Ji Bai's smiling voice was heard. "Speak."
"There are two interns in the team. I met them today, and they are both very outstanding. I've already sent their resumes to you. By the way, the director said that you should bring one with you. " “
The smile in Ji Bai's voice deepened, but his answer was so cold that it made Zhao Han depressed. "Am I that free? I'm not interested. "
