Chapter 30: No Criticism, No Punishment
As soon as I entered the door, I saw Lin Suo, Tie Ta and Shi Fan sitting anxiously in the corner, and seeing that Mu Ruoyan and I were unharmed, several of them were obviously relieved. As soon as the two of us stepped into their seats, the tower stood up with a "whirl".
"I said Jiang Xiaolou, can you make less trouble? It is the duty of a soldier to obey the orders of his superiors, you know? Iron Tower said to me with a dark face.
"Iron Tower!" Lin Suo immediately spoke out to stop it.
"I'm sorry Lin Suo, we forgot to report to you again, it's really some emergency! We, we also want ... I bowed my head in a bad way, and in order not to be severely punished, I first took the initiative to admit my mistake with the leader. As for the tower, which has always been very unwelcoming to him, choosing to ignore it is the best way.
"Lin Suo, I am also half responsible for acting without authorization, and I can't just punish Sister Lou!" Before I finished my words, Mu Ruoyan, who was standing beside me, hurriedly explained. She glared at the tower with dissatisfaction, and then very righteously helped me share the responsibility.
"It's okay, let's get in the car and talk about it, there are many people here, it's not a place to talk!" Lin Suo smiled at a few of us who were talking, and then motioned for everyone to leave the cold drink shop immediately. Looking at his appearance, it seems that he doesn't mean to be held accountable immediately, shouldn't he be settling the ledger after the autumn? I was worried for no reason, thinking of those smiling tiger leaders in the past, they always said that it was okay in front of people, and they would definitely announce the double punishment of personal vendetta after turning their heads.
"Xiaolou, why are you so depressed? I didn't say it was your fault for acting without permission, and I didn't intend to punish you and Ruoyan! "Being too worried made me walk too slowly and fall behind others. Lin noticed his anomaly, and he comforted him.
"Lin Suo, really? Is it really not punished? Don't criticize anymore? He looked at Lin Suo in surprise, a little unable to believe his ears.
"Well, really! No punishment, no criticism, but not as an example! He laughed, revealing a mouthful of white and neat teeth, and a dazzling ray of sunlight flashing in his handsome eyes. So handsome! I was silently amazed.
"Thank you Lin Suo, thank you Lin Suo, you are so good, good-looking people are good-hearted!" Laughing happily, he involuntarily patted his ass.
"Finally laughing? You don't have high requirements for life, is it because you have a good heart? Lin Suo said thoughtlessly, is this a disguised compliment to my good looks? After all, he is his own leader, and he usually has a sense of awe and distance in his heart, and the kindness and closeness he shows at the moment makes me very uncomfortable.
"Huh? I, I, that. Lin Suo, what about the iron tower? He doesn't seem to like seeing me! "I'm not good at alleviating embarrassing scenes, so I can only shift the topic to the tower, anyway, he hasn't been targeting me for a day or two, so I have to know what the problem is.
"Don't worry, he's like this to all women, not to you alone. The tower just wants to protect me, lest others harm me! It's none of your business! Lin Suo looked at the tower walking in front and said.
"Hurt you? Is a woman hurting you? Watching too many romance dramas, right? Why did it hurt you? Too handsome and rich? I said in surprise.
"Maybe, being too handsome and rich is sometimes a kind of original sin, isn't it?" Lin Suo still replied with a smile, but his eyes looked into the distance. Men are really narcissistic, although Lin Suo is indeed very handsome, and it seems that the family is also very rich, but the woman's approach to him is a reason to hurt him, which still makes me unacceptable. The tower doesn't like the woods, does it? A strange thought appeared in my mind, if this is true, then the relationship within the thirteen institutes is complicated enough, Ruoyan and Shi Fan, Lin and Tie Tower, there will be Tang Ming and Uncle Qi, right?
"Xiaolou, what are you smiling at?" The whimsical "basic love drama" in my mind made me laugh out loud unconsciously, forgetting that there was still Lin Suo standing next to me.
"No, no, I just think that after Wen Hui died, you were all very good to me, and even you were not as high as other leaders. Thanksgiving, I am smiling with pure gratitude! "If you say those strange ideas, it would be strange not to be scolded to death by Lin, so I have to continue to pat my ass. But what he said was also the truth, after Wen Hui died, everyone in the thirteen institutes, except for the iron tower, was really good to themselves, especially Lin Suo.
"Don't think about it, people don't sympathize with you to be good to you. In fact, the Thirteenth Institute has always been like this, we are more like a big family, the most important thing for everyone to do is to complete the task and catch the murderer, no one values the things in the form, and they are not important! Lin seemed to guess what I was thinking, and he continued. In the middle of this question, a few of us walked up to a silver-gray medium-sized van. Lin asked everyone to hurry up and get in the car and start discussing the case.
Sitting in the van, Mu Ruoyan and I reported to everyone all the situations we encountered, including the suspicion that each other had lost their special functions, and then the original intention of deciding to break into the Little Red Mansion without permission.
"Do you really think that without the special function, the Thirteen Institutes will fire you or transfer you?" Tang Ming asked seriously.
"Hmmm! Yes! That's what you think! Mu Ruoyan and I said in unison, nodding in tacit understanding with each other. When Tang Ming and Shi Fan heard this, they looked at us like two fools, and then laughed unabashedly. Lin Suo laughed too, and Tie Ta resisted the shaking of his facial muscles, trying his best not to let himself laugh. Their reaction seemed to be saying, Mu Ruoyan and I are thinking too much.
"No, if you lose your special function, you have to leave the Thirteen Institutes, shouldn't I be the first person to leave? Even if the Thirteen Institutes have to rely on special functions to solve cases that cannot be solved by ordinary criminal investigations, it does not mean that the team members should leave the group if they lose their special functions. Each of you has your own talents, believe in yourself, believe in your special abilities. Even if you want to solve the case, you can't rely on special functions alone! Lin said categorically, his eyes were still familiar with firmness and confidence. It turns out that we will not be driven away, and the nerves have finally relaxed, and such a thirteen institute makes people love it even more, the kind of love that wants to contribute to it from the bottom of their hearts.
"Okay, everyone put away the strange ideas and go all out to solve the case!" Lin Suo cleared his throat and said loudly. Under his inquiring statement, everyone continued to discuss the case, and according to all the known clues, everyone came to the unanimous conclusion, that is, there must be an ulterior secret inside the silver metal gate, which needs to be searched immediately. However, what happened next was completely beyond everyone's expectations.
Because time was urgent, Lin immediately applied for a special search warrant, and Thirteen entered the small red building on the grounds of security checks, and found the three men who were still in charge of security. When they trembled and very reluctantly pulled out the key and opened the silver metal door, the situation inside surprised everyone.
