This very casual sentence attracted the attention of the entire conference room.

Lin Xi was still wearing slightly loose clothes as usual, his long hair was tied low behind his head, and there was a heroic spirit between his eyebrows and eyes that did not match his beautiful face.

She was the lowest-ranking person in this room, only at the [Trent level]. It stands to reason that people of this level are not eligible to participate in this meeting.

But with the exception of Linxi.

He even said that this meeting would be meaningless without her.

"Now that Detective Lin is here, let's start our meeting." An older man sitting at the end of the long table said.

This is a man, who looks to be in his seventies, and his hair appears a little thinning due to long-term thinking, and the skin at the corners of his eyes is drooping, which seems to block some vision.

"Okay." Lin Xi didn't waste any time, he stood up directly, and took out a report from the folder.

"I'll make a long story short, the investigation of Chen Hao's case has all ended.

I already have sufficient evidence in my hands to prove that Chen Hao concealed his true thoughts, collected ill-gotten gains, misled the forensic doctor, changed the case record, framed innocent people, and so on. ”

On either side of the long table, no one expressed surprise at these words, which could not have been a secret in an office building with a large number of detectives.

So Lin Xi didn't bother to speak, she put down the document in her hand, and then she picked up another document.

"This report is the data compiled by the Forensic Medical Department from the autopsy records half a year ago, and the newly obtained clues, that is, the drop of blood under the crack in the door......" Lin Xi said this, and paused deliberately: "The Forensic Medical Department suspects that the deceased was pierced through the chest by an iron drill...... Actually, it's still alive. ”

There was finally some thudding in the room.

"The splattering of blood reached two meters, which means that although the deceased's heartbeat was weak, it was still alive.

But unfortunately, the murderer at that time did not find out about this and thought that Zhang was dead. As a result, Zhang did not die of cardiac arrest after the shock...... Rather, he did die of a ruptured heart. There was nothing wrong with the forensic report.

That is to say...... Chen Hao's crime is not to cover up the blame, but to be suspected of murder!

This is the relevant evidence, which I have handed over to management......

That's my report. ”

After speaking, Lin Xi sat down.

A detective is suspected of murder! What a terrible public opinion disaster this will be for the entire detective group...... It can well be imagined.

The whole venue was silent......

Finally, the old man sitting at the very end of the table broke the silence.

"The report I got this morning, Chen Hao has now been deprived of his detective qualifications and handed over to the police station, all relevant evidence must not be concealed, and the group will bear all the responsibility."

He said it lightly, but everyone knew what they meant.

The atmosphere made the people around him breathe a little hard.

However, in this atmosphere that almost made people dare not open their pores, the old man spoke lightly again...... The atmosphere was forcibly pressed to the extreme

"At the same time, because Chen Hao's criminal acts were not reported in time, and Detective Lin Xi also has certain responsibilities, I propose to temporarily deprive Lin Xi of his detective rights and transfer him to the archives to serve as the ...... of file management."

No one was surprised by this sentence, only Lin Xi frowned:

"What? Why? ”

No one answered.

After a while, the old man finally took a deep breath, as if it took a great deal of effort for him to say these words.

"Your partner is suspected of murder, and the impact on the entire detective group is irreparable, and you always have to take some responsibility."

Lin Xi seemed to have some respect for this old man, so she endured it and didn't slap the table and stand up.

"It's not my problem, Chen Hao is my superior, and when he took over the case, he was always alone, and I couldn't interfere......"

"I know." The old man gently interrupted Lin Xi's words: "But things still happened after all, and someone must be responsible." Of course, this is not my opinion, I just want to ask for everyone's consent. ”

As he spoke, he took a deep breath: "Now, those who agree to temporarily suspend the activities of Detective Linxi, please raise your hand." ”

On both sides of the long table, people raised their hands.

There are 20 people in total...... 11 raised hands.

It's exactly more than half, as if it had been calculated in advance. This proposal...... Passed.

Lin Xi looked at the people sitting in front of him with some surprise, and suddenly, smiled: "Heh~ I see, it seems that this meeting is not because of Lin Hao, but for me." ”

"......" no one spoke.

"But why?" Lin Xi turned to the old man at the end of the long table: "Just because my surname is Lin?" ”

It's still quiet.

Long......

"Miss Lin, you may be thinking too much." Finally, a voice answered her, it was a handsome man in a suit and leather shoes, with a good demeanor. However, the title in his mouth is no longer 'Detective Lin', but Miss Lin:

"We're not targeting you, it's just that this matter is really bad, besides, it's just a temporary transfer of you to the archives."

The man said with a smile, the smile on his face exactly the same as all the smiles he had had in the past, like a mask.

"Well, this is a letter of commitment, as long as you sign it...... That's over, and you'll still have a chance to come back as a detective in the future. With that, this person directly took out a few pieces of paper from under the table and pushed them to Lin Xi.

"Even the letter of commitment has been prepared in advance?" Lin Xi asked with a light snort.

"Let's sign it." The man didn't answer directly, just repeated with a smile.

"What if I don't sign it?" Lin Xi asked.

"Don't sign?" The man seemed to have expected that the other party would refuse: "Hehe, Miss Lin, this is not your family, everything can be done according to your temperament, if you insist on going against the group, we have the right to fire you." ”

"This was originally my family!" Lin Xi's cold gaze looked at the man's eyes, and the moment they met, the man seemed to be a little nervous and owed back.

"Miss Lin, don't be stupid, the place where you are now is a detective group, not your family's small detective agency, even if this group was founded by your father, it is all in the past." The handsome man held up a smile and continued: "Also, your father has been missing for seven years, and after this month, he is already legally considered a dead man!" ”

The man said, stretched out his hand, and pointed to the letter of commitment in front of Lin Xi.

"Either sign it, go and be an archivist, or ...... I'll expel you. ”

Lin Xi hesitated for a moment and picked up the letter of commitment.

"Back then, you were all friends of my father......." Her gaze swept over everyone in the room, and no one dared to make eye contact with her.

"I don't know if time has changed you, or if you're the kind of person you are."

She smiled dismissively

"Archivist? Don't bother so much......"

After saying that, there was a hiss.

Lin Xi tore the letter of commitment in his hand in half......

"I resign."
