Act VIII

"I don't have the right to refuse anyway, do I?" I shrugged my shoulders and muttered.

"No, you have. I said this isn't a task from above, right? Chen Xue denied it. If you really don't want to participate, no one can force you. Even if I force you to participate, you can still poke out my private behavior from above. ”

"You mean it's up to me to come or not?" I asked.

Chen Xue called the waiter to settle the bill, and judging from the money she took out, she really didn't spend much on this meal

"I don't like to force people to do something for me, even if they use strong means to achieve their goals, it doesn't work. It's not sincere, and it doesn't make any sense to give. How about it, can you help us? Chen Xue looked at me sincerely and asked.

I didn't speak, and to be honest, it didn't have much to do with me. The deceased's father was my guest, and with that relationship alone, I could stay out of it.

That's why I thought, is there a reason for me to help her?

The direct entrustment of the beautiful criminal police captain, in the eyes of ordinary people, this is definitely an affair, a person who breaks into someone's house without saying hello in the morning, no matter how beautiful she is, I shouldn't agree to her. I instinctively sensed the danger of meaning to this person. And women aren't that attractive to me, that's not a reason I can help her.

The only thing that can arouse my interest is what Chu Tianxiong said. Can I get involved in this? I know better than anyone else that he is a patient himself, and what people with unstable mental states say is always discounted. I don't think anyone I just met yesterday can see a reason today. Not to mention that her daughter had just committed suicide, and I wouldn't be surprised if he said anything. Nor can that be a reason for me.

How about a big mouth for the king? He's my size and we've had a good relationship since we were kids. Now that he seems to be pressed hard by his boss, how about helping him out? No, no, no, no, I knew from the dinner table just now that the reason why Chen Xue came to me was because of this kid's recommendation. From this point of view, there is no need for me to solve his problems.

So no matter how you look at it, I don't have any reason to bother with it.

"So, Dr. Xiao, what is your answer?" Chen Xue was very patient, and when I was thinking, she really waited for me without saying a word.

From this point of view, she is a good cop who respects others and has no arrogance. Such police officers are rare, and even fewer have such rights. Should I promise her what she will be paid when the deed is done? But I don't have anything I particularly need, so I'm going to use the safest way to say no, and she'll definitely say yes.

"Since I have the right to choose, I will never say that I will not help you." I smiled wickedly. "What good will I do if I help you investigate this successfully?"

"It's easy to say this, as long as I don't break the law, I can promise you." Chen Xue said hopefully. "The question is, what kind of pay do you want?"

Well, just wait for you to say this! If you want to refuse, now is the best opportunity, you have been lured by me to this point, there is no possibility of pulling me into the water.

I confidently said the reward I had already thought of, she could give me this reward, and she would never break the law, but she would never agree, that is

"Naturally, Officer Chen has already investigated my details, so he should know my own condition, right?" I asked.

"That's right, you're from out of town, and your parents are well-known researchers. I only moved to the city in the last few months. Why do you want me to help you get your account over? Chen Xue asked strangely. I've seen a lot of people who want to get out, but it's rare for you to want to get in. ”

"No, no, Officer Chen misunderstood. The issue of hukou is not my concern, I am concerned about something else. I said pretentiously.

"Just say what it is! I will definitely help you if I can help you! She was a little out of her breath.

"That's easy to say, as you know, I moved to this city alone. So until now, I've always been a person, single, "Actually, I could have directly picked things out, but I still deliberately didn't do it."

Most of the female police officers are arrogant, and they have an idea that they want to show everyone that they are not a vase, but a truly capable police officer. Chen Xue is no exception, and they will never accept my next request. Because it's trading what they value the most.

"Are you asking me to introduce you to a girlfriend?" Chen Xue still didn't seem to realize what I meant. "The other person I know is the police, are you sure you can stand such a person?"

Although I was a little surprised that as a police officer, her insight into why it was like this, this wonderful misunderstanding really made me laugh and cry

"I'd better get it straight, if I can help you get to the bottom of it. I hope you can be my girlfriend, and to be honest, I've hardly ever seriously dated anyone in all these years. "I finally got it straight to the point.

Chen Xue was obviously stunned for a moment, her reaction was really the same as I expected, this way of treating herself as a trading partner, she would never accept it. It would never be that important to find out, and I could get out of it anyway. That's what I thought, but things don't seem to be as simple as I thought.

Chen Xue didn't refuse immediately, and I was even ready for her to suddenly pull out her gun. However, she only frowned slightly, holding her chin in her hand and thinking about it. This time it was my turn not to disturb her, this was an unfolding I didn't expect at all, and I was completely unsure of what to do next.

It's like the day before an exam, you've been doing a math cheat sheet all the time. But on the same day, I was suddenly notified to temporarily change the English test. That feeling of confusion is somewhat similar to what I feel now

After a few minutes, Chen Xue looked up at me. I swallowed a mouthful of saliva and suddenly felt like I was the most nervous person in the book.

"Is this just what you're asking for?" There was no noticeable change in her tone. There was not a trace of superfluous movement, which made it difficult for me to guess what she was thinking now.

I could only nod mechanically, and I felt a little intimidated by her. Why is she so calm when she hears such words? This person is really not simple.

"Alright! I promise you! Then Chen Xue said this sentence that surprised everyone.

"What did you say?" I wonder if I heard it wrong, did Chen Xue agree just now?

How is this possible! According to my analysis, this guy can't use himself as a trade partner, what is she thinking?

"I said, I can promise to be your girlfriend. But you're going to have to help me get this out of the way! Chen Xue's cheeks were crimson, but she still pretended to be very tough and said to me.

At this time, she completely lost the serious sense of oppression just now, and in an instant she changed back to the girl I didn't know how to deal with. Anyway, don't just promise me this kind of thing if you know you're going to blush, I'll say this just to make you refuse!

"I" I couldn't say a word for a long time.

To be honest, my thinking has been short-circuited now, I have never missed anyone after living so big, and I will not be wrong about any small character of anyone. I never thought that anyone would act in a pattern that I hadn't thought of.

I've always felt like a genius programmer, and the others are some of the programs I've created, and they've given me the way to do things, and they're never going to have more features than I could have imagined.

However, this time, Chen Xue gave me a huge surprise in a surprise way like a hacker who had fallen into a hacker's virus. I was overwhelmed.

Wang Dazui on the side was so frightened that he couldn't speak from the time I said that I wanted Chen Xue to be my girlfriend. Now he looks exactly like his nickname, and his mouth is open and almost dragged to the ground. I don't know if he was surprised that I made such a desperate request, or if he accepted the request for Chen Xue, who was mentally ill. Anyway, I can't count on him to help me get around

What to do? How? Looking at Chen Xue's shyness, if I say now that I was just joking, would it be too late to deliberately let her refuse?

No, I think it's too late, Chen Xue is still a very serious person in nature, and she must be the type to do things, since she has agreed, she will never allow me to regret it casually.

I'm really smart but smart, digging myself into such a big pit that I can't climb out!

"How's that! I've already agreed, can you help me with this? "Looks like she's been a little irritated by my 'me, me, me.'" I really didn't expect you to make such a request, you have grown so big, and no one has ever confessed to me. But I've also investigated you, your family is very good, and you are also very smart, and you are also a must to analyze the psychology of others. If you think about it, it seems like a good girlfriend! ”

I suddenly realized what I had done wrong

I didn't take Chen Xue's own emotional experience into account at all! She climbed to the position of the captain of the criminal police team at this age, and you can imagine what kind of strong woman she is. All men will be shy away from such a strong woman

Listening to what she just said, she doesn't seem to have any experience in dating at all, and I'm still a little girl who is not deeply involved in the world! When such a person confesses for the first time, the first feeling will definitely be excitement!

It's not that I'm boasting, I'm still good-looking, and my quality is very much in line with Chen Xue's standards, he just wants an assistant who can help him solve the case. I looked like I was putting myself in her mouth just now

Anyway, I feel like all the air around me has condensed, and my mind keeps flashing with all kinds of ways to refuse. In the fastest time, I combined these methods with Chen Xue's own personality to conduct a simple simulation in my mind. No way! None of them worked, and it was over

I can feel that Chen Xue is becoming more and more suspicious, I can't tell the truth, otherwise I will definitely die, I subconsciously feel understood

So in the end, there is only one way left

Two hours later, I was standing downstairs at Chu Tianxiong's house. In the end, I didn't think of other effective measures, so I had to agree to help Chen Xue with this. She herself seemed very happy, and I was the complete opposite of her

It's so troublesome, to get into trouble with a master who can't be messed with so much. I already have a hunch that my peaceful life is moving away from me at the speed of light. Does she really know what a so-called girlfriend means, so casually handing herself over to a man she met for the first time?

No, he's a policeman, who would dare to hit her casually? As long as she doesn't take the initiative, I don't think I will get any benefit even if I become her boyfriend. Although I don't particularly care about the kind of contact between men and women, physical contact is nothing more than an instinctive impulse, and has little to do with the so-called love, and I agree with Freud on this point.

"What do you need me to do when you brought me here?" I asked without any energy.

"It's easy! You can help me confirm whether what Chu Tianxiong said is false, or if he is crazy and said nonsense. "She's very motivated.

It's a remote location that's the exact opposite of the apartment I'm renting, and I have the impression that it's a neighborhood that hasn't been open for a long time. None of the buildings are luxurious, and from the outside I can see a lot of purely decorative marble statues and patterns on the walls. Even the security guards in the community are dressed more formally than I have there, and their appearance is even higher.

Is this what is called a premium residence? I really didn't expect that looking at Chu Tianxiong's appearance, his family would be so rich. But it's not incomprehensible, who has no money to see a psychiatrist? Most of us are scammers who divide us into the same category as charlatans.

Another point to say is that Wang Dazui did not follow us, he was returned to the bureau by Chen Xue to work on other cases. The reason is simple, she wants to exchange "feelings" with her boyfriend.

As he left, he glanced at me with a very complicated expression that shouldn't have been on his face. It didn't take long for me to receive a text message on my phone.

"Next time, let's find a place to drink, we have to have a good talk. -- Wang Keqiang. "Looks like the two of us really scared the hell out of him

I don't know where Chu Tianxiong lives, Chen Xue took me all the way to a deeper place in the community. Then she chose a unit building and took me up, each with more than 20 floors, and we ended up on the 18th floor.

After coming out, Chen Xue went straight to a very strong security door that opened, it seemed that she had been here many times. It took a long time to ring the doorbell before someone came out to open the door.

The person who opened the door was Chu Tianxiong's wife, I have met this person a few times, and she used to accompany her husband to talk to me many times. I don't have a very bad impression of her, although she is a little scheming, but overall she is still a very responsible woman.

Her face was very haggard, with very thick dark circles, and her face was completely thinner than the last time we met. I knew that there were guests visiting, but I was still wearing pajamas, and my clothes were disheveled. I can also understand that no one will accept the suicide of her daughter who was raised by one hand like this.

"How's your husband?" Chen Xue asked with concern.

"Hey, it's still like that, you can't let Captain Chen stand in the corridor and speak, come in and sit down." Chu Tianxiong's wife opened the door for us.

"Doctor Xiao! Why are you here too? "She seemed to have just discovered my presence, and she looked very surprised.

"He was invited by me to assist in the investigation, Mrs. Chu, you don't have to worry about it." Chen Xue explained.

After that, as if she was at home, she took off her high heels and replaced them with a pair of slippers. And I was standing in the doorway and didn't know what to do, the floor was pure wood, and it was obviously not good for me to walk in like this.

Mrs. Chu seemed to sense my embarrassment, and immediately found a pair of slippers for me from the shoe closet. After putting it on, I walked to Chen Xue who was sitting on the sofa.

In fact, as soon as I entered the door, I sensed that something was wrong here, and it was hard to describe. It was as if the air was getting thicker than usual, and the atmosphere in this room was very oppressive and made me feel uncomfortable.

"Now it's time for you to make good on our promise." Chen Xue didn't seem to feel the strange atmosphere at all, and said to me seriously.
