This introduction took half an hour of busy work. Then, everyone sat down and got down to business. Xu Yan coughed dryly: "You guys flew from the capital to Jincheng urgently, everyone should know what's going on, right? The serial murder case of Shudu University, everyone just came over, let me introduce the case to you......

Xu Yan opened the notebook and was about to be introduced, but at this time, Huang Xi interjected: "I'm sorry, Director Xu, last night, the Shudu police had already passed on the case to us, we have seen it on the road, and we have a preliminary understanding of the case." Therefore, as for the introduction of the facts of the case, I think it can be omitted.

Oh, this is a summary of the case sent to me by the Jincheng police, please take a look. With that, Huang Xi handed Xu Yan an open laptop.

Xu Yan took the notebook, looked at it a few times, and was quite disappointed in his heart - in order to prepare for this meeting, he made notes all night last night, and he wanted to use it when introducing the case to the newcomer, but he didn't expect that the case minutes of the Jincheng City Public Security Bureau were clearer and more detailed than what he did - now, his work last night was completely useless.

"It's okay, since everyone already knows the facts of the case, then I will save the effort of introducing the case. What are your opinions and opinions on this series of murders and disappearances, you might as well talk about them casually, and we can discuss them?"

Xu Yan said that it was "casual talk", but the officers didn't dare to be really casual - everyone knew the officialdom routine, this was the first time he met his boss, and the companions around him had just met. On such an occasion to discuss the facts of the case, if you have any unique and clever opinions, it is better to say it, otherwise, it is better to hide it. Talking casually is tantamount to handing someone a target for no reason, so that colleagues can criticize "their immature opinions" to show their cleverness. It also leaves a superficial and impulsive impression on the boss.

Xu Yan looked around at everyone, but only silence was in response to his gaze.

Xu Yan was slightly disappointed, but he still smiled and said, "Don't you all have any opinions?" Also, we only received the report last night, and we don't have much emotional understanding. It's really hard to jump to conclusions. ”

"Director Xu, I would like to make two comments. ”

Xu Yan followed the prestige and was a little surprised: the first person to ask to speak was not those masters who were good at reconnaissance, but Tang Min, who he thought was a pure vase role.

Seeing Xu Yan's surprised gaze, Tang Min smiled faintly, and between his smiles, his lazy meaning was revealed. I don't know when. A long, thin cigarette appeared in her hand, the filter was red, very delicate, and obviously specially made for ladies. She lit a cigarette with a lighter, and her voice was low: "I smoke a cigarette, you won't mind, right?"

Xu Yan felt ridiculous - this sentence is usually asked by a man before he smokes, right? Today, the roles of the two sides are reversed. And. You lit your cigarette before you asked if we minded...... Forget it. What's there to do with a lady?

"Major Tang, you can do whatever you want. ”

Tang Min smiled at Xu Yanyan, she held the cigarette, her little finger was slightly cocked, the cigarette was just a shallow sip on her red lips, like a dragonfly dotting water-her smoking action. It doesn't seem like she really needs nicotine, it's just that she needs it.

Then, she smiled apologetically at Xu Yan: "I'm sorry, Director Xu, there's no way." I didn't know how to talk without a cigarette in my hand. ”

"It's okay, we gay men also have a lot of smokers - do you have any opinions on this case?"

"Hmm!" Tang Min nodded elegantly, and she said slowly: "Last night, on the plane, I also looked at the case and came to a conclusion - I think it's okay, this murderer, he must be a big pervert!"

Xu Yan and everyone nodded, and everyone didn't speak, quietly waiting for her to continue—but then, as if Tang Min had forgotten that she was speaking, she leaned back in her chair gracefully, cocked her orchid fingers and held the cigarette, and smoked it slowly, as if nothing happened.

After waiting for a while, Xu Yan couldn't help it, and he asked, "Major Tang, what is your opinion?"

Tang Min's eyes widened, and his delicate face was full of surprise: "Didn't I say it—the murderer of this case, he is a big pervert, this is my opinion." ”

In an instant, Xu Yan really wanted to jump up and scold his mother: Your sister, what kind of opinion is this? This is just a nonsense, okay? It's really a sentence: Most women with beautiful faces have no brains!

It's just that Xu Yan is not easy to get angry: he said: "Everyone might as well talk about it casually", now this girl is really "talking casually", if she gets angry again, wouldn't it seem that she is backsliding? Therefore, Xu Yan can only scold in his stomach, but he still has to pretend to smile on his face, not to mention how depressed he is.

Fortunately, someone else said this tone on behalf of Xu Yan, Major Zhang Wenbin sneered, and he also lit a cigarette: "Major Tang said it so well, it is really good! Your opinion is so useful!"

Tang Min smiled - Xu Yan didn't know if she really couldn't hear it or pretended not to hear it - she smiled and said: "Does Deputy Team Leader Zhang also agree with my opinion? Hehe, in fact, I didn't want to say it, I think, there are so many leaders here, maybe someone has a better opinion than me, right? But I didn't expect that everyone didn't speak, and they didn't make a sound, so I had to have the courage to make a statement, just think it was what - yes, yes, throw bricks and lead the way, I didn't expect you to praise me, I really dare not be. ”

Zhang Wenbin seemed to have no pity for the jade, and he sneered: "Major Tang, your opinion is too precious and too useful. All that's left is a question, how do we catch that murderer? Major Tang, can you give us some further guidance on this issue?"

Tang Min looked at Zhang Wenbin, her beautiful eyes widened, and she said in surprise: "Isn't it very simple to determine that the murderer is a pervert? I have watched American dramas, one is called The Silence of the Lambs, and the other is called the Navy Investigation Team, but I have seen them all! People just deduce that the murderer is a pervert, and then the American police analyze the murderer's psychology and easily catch him!"

Listened to Tang Min's statement. Zhang Wenbin was so surprised that even the cigarette in his hand fell, and he was angry: "You~You~You~~You~~"

What exactly does Zhang Wenbin want to say, Xu Yan actually knows it in his heart - not only Xu Yan, but I am afraid that everyone knows it in his heart - in fact, Xu Yan agrees with his opinion: Tang Meizi has a beautiful face, but in essence she is a big-chested idiot!

Tang Min was confused. Zhang Wenbin's face was flushed with anger, and in such an atmosphere, Xu Yan could only lament. He smiled helplessly: "This is my inconsiderate - comrades have been on a flight all night and have not rested, and their thinking may not be very clear." In this way, let's go eat and rest first, and discuss the case formally, and then talk about it when we have rested—"

As he spoke, Xu Yan turned his head to Huang Xi. He asked, "Do you have any arrangements in the ministry for your residence?"

"The Ministry's opinion is that this matter should be resolved by the Jincheng City Government. On the way here, we have already contacted the Jincheng City Government, and they plan to arrange us at the Jincheng Hotel - Director Xu, what is your opinion?"

Xu Yan frowned slightly, he knew about Jincheng Hotel, which was a very famous five-star hotel in Jincheng City, and it was also a designated hotel for the reception of Jincheng Municipal Government.

"The specifications of Jincheng Hotel are very high. But its location is not very suitable. Jincheng Hotel is in the city center, and there are often traffic jams in the city. If something unexpected happens. We rushed from Jincheng Hotel to Shudu University, and it took more than an hour - we came here this time to handle cases, not to pursue specifications and enjoyment. Huang Xi told the Jincheng Municipal Government that we just need to find a hotel near the school to settle down - we don't need many good conditions, just be close to Shudu University. ”

Huang Xi nodded: "Yes! I'll contact the Jincheng City Government immediately!"

After speaking. She went out with her mobile phone, and soon, she came back again, took Xu Yan to the place where there were few people, and said, "Director Xu." The Jincheng city government agreed with us, and they apologized that they had not thought it through before, and now they plan to arrange another accommodation for us nearby.

By the way, Deputy Secretary-General Zhang of the municipal government told me that Vice Mayor Deng would like to invite you and the comrades of our investigation team to have a light lunch at noon today to help us catch the wind and wash the dust.

Hearing that there was a dinner, Xu Yan couldn't help frowning slightly, he was the most annoyed by this kind of officialdom entertainment etiquette: "What are you doing for dinner? Can you help us solve the case?"

Huang Xi smiled awkwardly, what she knew was that although Xu Yan was the deputy director and the head of the investigation team, in essence, he was still a big boy who was not very sensible, and he didn't understand the rules of officialdom at all.

"Director Xu, Secretary General Zhang's attitude is very enthusiastic, he said, this is the task assigned by Vice Mayor Deng, please appreciate it...... Director Xu, let me say more: Normally, when we go to the local area to investigate, the local government will generally receive us, and it is usually officials of the same level who come to entertain us, which is an unwritten practice.

But this time, the Jincheng Municipal Government's reception of us, which is very face-saving - Director Xu, you are a division-level cadre, but the Jincheng Municipal Government has arranged a deputy mayor to receive us, which is very polite and respectful - this is not only your personal respect, but also the Jincheng Municipal Government's respect for our General Staff Intelligence Department. ”

Speaking of this, Huang Xi was silent for a moment, she looked at Xu Yan intently, waiting for his reaction.

Sure enough, Xu Yan had already come to his senses, and he said: "Huang Xi, I probably understand - I am here in Jincheng, not on my own behalf, but also on behalf of the Ministry of Intelligence......"

"That's right! To put it more seriously, Director Xu, your every move represents the attitude of our Intelligence Department - just as Secretary General Zhang's invitation is to show the municipal government's respect for us, if Director Xu refuses the invitation, it means that our Intelligence Department has little respect for the Jincheng City Government...... The Jincheng city government may think that our shelves are too big to communicate...... If they are more sensitive, they may think that we refuse to eat even a meal or see the noodles, and they must be ill-intentioned and deliberately find fault with them, and maybe there will be some unnecessary misunderstanding for us...... If you don't get it right, it will drag down the work. ”

Listening to Huang Xi's theory, Xu Yan couldn't help but smile: "Huang Xi, listening to what you say, this meal is so important...... Seems more important than work?"

Huang Xi didn't smile, she said solemnly: "Director Xu, this kind of communication and contact is itself part of our work. Although we are the main investigators in this investigation, we also need the support of the local government and the public security bureau...... If we can establish a good personal relationship with the leaders of Jincheng and communicate smoothly, it will be of great help to our work. ”

Xu Yan smiled bitterly - from a personal point of view, he hates this kind of officialdom entertainment that has no practical effect. In other words, if Huang Shan, the head of the criminal investigation detachment, invited him to dinner, Xu Yan would be happy to go to the banquet. Because of having dinner with Huangshan, everyone can exchange all kinds of information about the case and discuss ideas about the next step of case detection, which is useful for the detection of the case.

But when I have dinner with the deputy secretary general of the city government, can I get any useful information? Xu Yan doesn't even need to go to know what the deputy secretary general will say.

But the problem is, according to what Huang Xi said, he can't go if he doesn't go!

Xu Yan rubbed the temples on his forehead painfully - the so-called being in officialdom, being involuntarily is like this. Since you are a person in the officialdom, you have to assume the responsibilities and obligations of a person in the officialdom. Xu Yan suddenly felt very tired, and strengthened his confidence: after this case is handled, he must resign with Wen Xiuzhi!

"Huang Xi, do you think we have to go?"

Huang Xi whispered very respectfully: "Whether to go or not, that is your judgment Director Xu, I just said some personal opinions for your reference." ”

Xu Yan laughed "hehe", he looked at Huang Xi, and in the laughter, Huang Xi's face was red - she also understood that she had said so much at length, and then finally said "This is just my personal opinion, or is it to lead you to make a decision", which is too hypocritical.

"Okay - you reply to the deputy secretary general of the government, Zhang, and say that we thank the city government for its hospitality, and let's have dinner together at noon. (To be continued.) )
