Chapter 57: The Olive Branch
Originally, when she was in school, Tang Guo's least favorite thing was to answer calls from unfamiliar numbers, because that meant that they were either old classmates who were not familiar with each other but had to deal with them, or simply some fools with the wrong number, and all kinds of small advertisements that were not likable, so she always had a habit in the past, and she would not answer calls from unknown numbers, so that some of her classmates and friends who had a good relationship with her, once she changed to a new number, she had to send a text message to Tang Guo first, so that Tang Guo knew. And save the number first, so that you can successfully re-establish telephone communication, otherwise, it is basically a state that is summarized by those friends as "not answering the phone depends on fate", and nine times out of ten she will deliberately ignore it.
But now that she has joined the work, this habit has been completely quit by Tang Guo, because she knows very well in her heart that after engaging in the profession of criminal police, the probability of receiving a call from an unfamiliar number is simply too great, in addition to the possibility that the unit may suddenly have some temporary work arrangements, the case under investigation is also very likely to have some relevant people suddenly contact her and want to provide any clues, it is possible that this is a very, very critical phone call, and it is not sloppy at all. Not to mention deliberately not answering.
That's why she heard the phone ringing, so quickly she reacted in a short time.
As fast as her, Tang's father also followed Tang Guo out of the kitchen, and when he saw Tang Guo holding his mobile phone, he was stunned for a moment, and thought it was really the Public Security Bureau calling, and hurriedly said: "Girl, is there something wrong with the unit?" If something happens, Dad will go with you in a while and be your driver. Otherwise, it's too late, and I'm really a little worried that you little girl will go out by herself. ”
Tang Guo almost laughed: "Dad, don't make trouble, I know you don't worry about me, I don't know who is calling now, even if it's a unit, it's impossible for you to send me there, you've seen that policeman go to work, and Mom and Dad are still following behind the ass for a moment!" If that's the case, I won't be able to raise my head in the unit for the rest of my life! Hurry up and eat, I'll answer the phone and go back. ”
Seeing her say this, Tang's father had no choice, so he sighed, turned around and went back to the kitchen, Tang Guo vaguely seemed to hear him complaining to Tang's mother, saying that he felt a little regretful, he shouldn't have let Tang Guo apply for any police academy in the first place, originally thought that after graduating from the police academy, he would be admitted to the public security bureau or police station, do a civilian job, or manage household registration and other jobs, whether it is easy or hard, at least there is no risk, but I didn't expect that now Tang Guo really ran to do what kind of criminal police, It made him scared all day long.
Tang Guo was also a little helpless, but she didn't have the time to do this kind of ideological work with Tang's father at the moment, she had to find out who was calling this phone call and what purpose she was looking for.
Tang Guo took a breath, solemnly pressed the answer option, and the phone was connected.
"Hey, I'm Tang Guo of the Serious Crime Team of the Public Security Bureau of A City, who are you?" She said her opening remarks in a row, and she was a little worried about who the strange number to call at this time would be, what was the matter, and she couldn't help but have a little pride, although she said that she had not made any achievements after officially becoming a criminal policeman, but saying this identity in person still gave her a heartfelt sense of honor and mission, as if even her figure had become taller together.
"Hey, Tang Guo, hello, I'm Xia Rong, you should remember me, right?" There was a gentle and gentle voice from the telephone receiver, the voice was very good, delicate and full of feelings, and there seemed to be a little bit of momentum in the gentleness, the voice was soft, and the tone was brisk, although it was the kind of voice that Tang Guo was very unfamiliar with, it could be a little cordial in tone, as if he had already known Tang Guo, and the last sentence "You should remember me" Although it used a questioning tone, the tone seemed to be firm.
Tang Guo was stunned for a moment, feeling that this name was a little familiar, but suddenly she didn't seem to remember it, she was silent for a few seconds, and she still felt that it was hazy and seemed to have a little impression, but she couldn't really think about it anyway, there was no way, and it would be a bit rude not to open her mouth again, so although it would also be a little rude to say this, she still replied honestly: "Hmm...... I'm sorry, I really didn't remember who you were. ”
There was silence in the receiver of the phone for a while, and she gave such an answer, which seemed to be unexpected by the other party, and she suddenly didn't know if there was no way to continue to communicate with her as originally planned, or if she was telling whether Tang Guo was really confused or pretending to be confused. After a short silence, he said: "I am a colleague of Qin Cang who used to teach in a school, I went to the Public Security Bureau to find him before, we met once, in the reception room, you specially brought water over at that time, do you still have an impression of this?" If so, you should remember me. ”
Tang Guo was reminded by her like this, and the memories that were still a little untrue were suddenly re-lit and remembered the other party. Xia Rong, Xia Rong, isn't she the big beauty who went to the Public Security Bureau to find Qin Cang and provoked the other bachelors in the serious crime team to gossip for a while! I was also very curious at the time, so I stupidly took two glasses of water and ran over, wanting to see what kind of big beauty was looking for Qin Cang, and whether a strange coffee like Qin Cang would have any different sparks from the big beauty, but he was used by Qin Cang and became the one who "stirred up the situation". Now Tang Guo can remember, not only remembered, but also a little cramped, although it was not his intention to interrupt the conversation between Xia Rong and Qin Cang last time, but Qin Cang did it intentionally, but after all, the cause was also his gossip enthusiasm that he had nowhere to place for a while, and now Xia Rong suddenly contacted herself, although she didn't know what kind of purpose she was, but Tang Guo still felt a little weak for no reason.
"Oooh! Hello hello hello! I'm really sorry, I don't have a good memory, I didn't remember it at once, but now I remember. Tang Guo responded very enthusiastically because of her weak heart, but after a few words of enthusiasm, she felt that something was wrong, "How did you have my phone number?" ”
"If you want to inquire, you will always find some ways and means." Xia Rong replied that her voice still sounded smiling, just listening to the voice seemed to be sure that the other party was an out-and-out beauty, and there was a feeling in the tone of her voice that Tang Guo didn't know how to describe it, if you had to summarize it, Tang Guo felt that it should be called "feminine".
This answer was not particularly satisfactory to Tang Guo, but she was embarrassed to ask anything more, after knowing that it was Xia Rong's call, she quickly relaxed, no longer worried about what happened to the unit at night, or the so-called third victim who made her worry had appeared so soon.
"Then what is the matter with you calling me?" She asked Xia Rong.
"It's all this time, you should already be off work, right? I'd like to invite you out and sit down for a cup of coffee and the two of us can talk, shall we? Xia Rong opened her mouth and sent an invitation to Tang Guo.
"Uh......" Tang Guo hesitated, "Otherwise, it's not too early for another day." ”
"Isn't it time for us young people to start the nightlife? You're a policewoman, is there a curfew? Xia Rong seemed to be very familiar with Tang Guo, as if she was an old friend who hadn't seen her for many years, and joked with her on the phone, "I've actually always admired female policemen, I was quite surprised to see you go over to find Qin Cang that day, I didn't expect that there would really be this kind of female criminal policeman in the Public Security Bureau, and I used to think that female policemen were all tiger-backed and bear-waisted, but when I saw you, I realized that my previous opinion was very wrong, You look like the kind of cute little girls you often meet in your daily life, but your temperament is not quite the same as them, so if you don't mind not disliking it, can the two of us make friends? ”
I'm afraid that no one in this world really doesn't like high hats, but some high hats are not buttoned properly enough, so they are not so easy to accept. Xia Rong's words made Tang Guo feel that his heart was beautiful and awkward. Mei Zizi praised herself for being a stunning beauty like Xia Rong, and this kind of praise seemed to be slightly higher than the gold content from ordinary people, which made Tang Guo, who had always been fluctuating in his self-confidence level and had been frustrated by Qin Cang's side recently, feel very comfortable. What is awkward is that it is not someone else who praises himself now, and also takes the initiative to throw an olive branch to show goodwill, but Xia Rong.
Who is Xia Rong? What kind of school teacher she is, this has nothing to do with Tang Guo, Tang Guo doesn't know very well, the only thing she knows is that Xia Rong is Qin Cang's former colleague, when she came to Qin Cang before, Qin Cang's attitude towards her can be said to be very cold, and even a little repulsive. And as a person who originally didn't know Xia Rong, Qin Cang's partner, if he crossed Qin Cang to establish friendship with Xia Rong on the premise of knowing that Qin Cang was a little repulsive to Xia Rong, would this make that weird guy very angry? Although the personality of the weird guy is a little weird, she has never hurt herself, and she is not the Tang Guo who was afraid to push out the drudgery at the beginning, she also wants to quickly improve her ability with the help of Qin Cang, and then prove to the others in the serious crime team that she is not a vase used to balance gender.
Now Tang Guo was in trouble, gladly accepting that he might offend Qin Cang, ignoring it and a little lacking in education, Tang Guo knew for the first time that it turned out that being courted by a big beauty was also such a difficult thing.
