Chapter 1108: Chapter 548: Air Freezes? Utterly Awkward?
"The two new recruits are both women?"
Just then, Old Han widened his eyes.
He seemed frustrated that he couldn’t sneak a cigarette from the new recruits.
Luo Fei just laughed it off.
"Hello to you both. Welcome to the Major Crimes Unit."
Upon hearing Luo Fei’s cue,
the two quickly greeted everyone.
"Hello everyone. I’m really happy to meet all of you."
Seeing that the two were somewhat awkward,
perhaps because of the tense atmosphere inside the room.
Luo Fei smiled and reminded them.
"Why don’t you both introduce yourselves?"
Upon hearing Luo Fei’s suggestion,
the two nodded quickly.
"Ah yes, look at us, we almost forgot about that."
The girl with the neat short hair,
spoke seriously at this moment.
"Hello everyone, my name is Ji Bing. I come from Mountain City First Criminal Police Unit. I was on leave for a while because I wasn’t feeling well."
"Afterward, I transferred here. I’m honored to meet everyone here."
But hearing what she said,
Luo Fei smiled and shook his head.
"Officer Ji, you’re too modest. I know very well the achievements you’ve had before."
Though Ji Bing didn’t acknowledge it herself,
Luo Fei was well aware.
She was indeed a very outstanding person.
Not to mention anything else, in terms of investigative judgment and intuitive acuity, she was exceptional.
"And what’s more, Officer Ji previously cooperated with the Criminal Investigation Team, cracked many major cases, and investigated many cases. So I have great admiration for Miss Ji."
Luo Fei’s straightforward words,
made Li Yu somewhat surprised.
"I didn’t expect Mr. Luo’s assessment of Officer Ji to be so high. It’s quite surprising."
Li Yu was very aware.
Luo Fei rarely praises others, often making judgments based on his meticulous observation.
Even for herself and Old Han, they rarely received high praise from him.
Almost simultaneously,
Cai Junfeng was also suddenly struck.
"Oh, I remember now. Ji Bing, you’re the heroine who successfully rescued more than ten hostages in the Mountain City 320 major case, and captured five suspects from the mall. People call you the ’Mulan’!"
Cai Junfeng’s sudden comment made Ji Bing somewhat embarrassed.
"Officer Cai, you’re flattering me. I just did what was my duty, nothing more."
Sensing Ji Bing’s slight embarrassment,
unsure of what to do.
Cai Junfeng just chuckled.
"Officer Ji, you’re too modest. I’m aware of your good reputation."
"Additionally, regarding your previous accomplishments, being selected as one of the top ten youths and good deeds of the year in Mountain City, I’ve also heard about those."
Such good news,
even made Luo Fei a bit surprised.
However, he remained composed on the surface,
simultaneously smiling at the girl next to him.
"Miss, what’s your name, and which department did you transfer from?"
"Officer, my name is He Jiayun. I scored full marks in the last city-wide physical fitness test, and also won the first place in Changli City’s marathon. But I just graduated from the police academy, having worked for over two years, so compared to Sister Ji Bing, my experience is far less."
However, seeing the other party a bit awkward,
lacking much confidence.
Luo Fei just smiled.
"Miss, you really don’t need to belittle yourself."
"I believe everyone has their own space and things they’re good at doing. Moreover, from your previous academic records, you seem to excel exceptionally in physical fitness. So if we encounter some fugitives, or criminals trying to escape after a robbery, having you along would be the best choice."
What Luo Fei said, gave Li Yu a strong sense of crisis.
She even suspected whether Luo Fei deliberately said such things to encourage her to keep moving forward.
Hoping to spur herself to progress?
Buzz!
Just at this moment,
Luo Fei’s phone suddenly vibrated.
After looking at the text message,
Luo Fei’s expression became slightly serious.
"Everyone, bad news, just now, Hu Xueli’s father passed away in the hospital despite resuscitation efforts."
On hearing the news,
everyone was a bit shocked.
"How could it be, he seemed fine just a couple of days ago and had moved out of danger. But now this happened?"
"Probably someone wanted to silence him completely and chose this extreme approach."
...
However, even after hearing the analysis from everyone,
Luo Fei still had a serious expression.
"From Hu Xueli’s photos just now, it showed someone sneaking into her father’s recovery room at the sanatorium in the night and using inhuman measures, pressing a pillow to his face, leading to his suffocation."
Upon hearing this news, everyone looked extremely grave.
"Who would do such a heinous act?"
"This will surely be devastating for Miss Hu."
"After all, she always cared deeply for her father. The two were almost inseparable. Now that her father has encountered such a thing, she’ll surely be deeply troubled."
