Chapter 1037 Relief, Zhou Chen Has a Tough Attitude

"Zhou Chen?"

Xia Jie was very surprised when she saw Zhou Chen.

Zhou Chen raised the popsicle in his hand: "Why, are you surprised to see me?"

Xia Jie asked: "How did you know that Sun Qiancheng told you?"

"Yes, Sun Qiancheng said that you were slapped by that menopausal old woman, which made me angry. I was not there at the time, otherwise I would have slapped her away with my backhand to vent your anger."

"Pfft!"

Xia Jie couldn't help laughing, but she quickly put away her smile: "You are the only one who can brag."

Zhou Chen sat down next to her, took out the popsicle from the plastic bag and handed it to Xia Jie.

Xia Jie took the popsicle and asked in confusion: "How do you know I like to eat popsicles when I am sad?"

"Guess."

Zhou Chen smiled slightly. Of course he would not say that he knew it from watching the TV series. Then he wrapped the popsicle in a towel and handed it to Xia Jie.

"Take the compress and apply it to your face, otherwise it may become even more swollen tomorrow."

Sitting nearby, I could see more clearly that half of Xia Jie's face was red and swollen. This was obviously not an accidental hit, and it was impossible to hit him so hard accidentally.

"Crack!"

"Hey, what are you doing?"

Xia Jie took the towel wrapped in popsicles and was about to put it on her face when she saw Zhou Chen actually taking pictures of her with his cell phone. She was so anxious that she quickly covered her face and shouted angrily.

"Zhou Chen, what do you want to do? Delete it, delete it soon."

Zhou Chen calmly put away his mobile phone: "What are you doing? I just want to take pictures as a souvenir. Well, I just want to leave evidence. I think Ms. Wu is not a good person. Leave evidence. If she messes around, we will sue her." She attacked the police."

"Can……"

"Stop it, apply it on your face quickly."

Zhou Chen grabbed Xia Jie's hand, put the towel on her cheek, then took out a popsicle and ate it with Xia Jie.

After eating almost half of a popsicle, Xia Jie whispered: "Thank you, Zhou Chen."

Zhou Chen finished the popsicle in two mouthfuls: "Don't be so polite to me. You said you wanted to move it to me. My room has been packed up for you. When are you going to move?"

"tonight."

"tonight?"

"Yes, I drove here today. I will salute you in the car. I will go to your place to stay later."

"That's great, we'll go back together later."

While the two were talking, they saw Li Dawei hurriedly walked out, holding the phone and venting his anger.

Xia Jie asked in confusion: "What's wrong with him?"

Zhou Chen told Xia Jie what happened tonight, and Xia Jie suddenly showed sympathetic eyes. Her mother was not a worry, and Li Dawei's father was not much better. Sure enough, every family has its own difficulties. The chanting sutra.

After Li Dawei finished venting his anger, he hung up the phone and found Zhou Chen and Xia Jie, who were already sitting in the corridor, walking over with dejected expressions on their faces.

"Did you all hear that?"

"Um."

Li Dawei covered his face with his hands in pain: "You said, I just want to be a good policeman, why is it so difficult?"

Xia Jie opened her mouth, not knowing how to persuade her. To be honest, she and Li Dawei actually had the same mood. She also wanted to be a good policeman, but it was also very difficult.

Zhou Chen patted Li Dawei on the shoulder: "We will always encounter various setbacks and ups and downs in life. What we have to do is not to complain, but to overcome it and conquer it. Some difficulties are not as you imagined. It’s so difficult, but as long as you work hard, you can get through it.”

Li Dawei looked at Zhou Chen blankly, and after a moment he said with emotion: "It seems that the director made the right choice. Zhou Chen, you really followed the right master. You have the potential to be an instructor. Every time I hear you When I talk, I always feel like I am receiving instruction from a teacher, with lots of great principles, and it gives me the feeling that you have experienced more than my mother."

"roll!"

Zhou Chen cursed angrily: "I worked so hard to enlighten you, but you still talk so much nonsense."

"Are you kidding? Don't take it seriously? But to be honest, I quite like listening to what you say. Every time I listen to your lectures, I feel like I suddenly understand."

"Get lost..."

Because Xia Jie moved in that night, Zhou Chen and the others helped Xia Jie clean up the house. They worked together and finished it in a short time.

Li Dawei was in a bad mood and went back to the rented downstairs bedroom to rest. Yang Shu and Zhao Jiwei stayed for a while and then went downstairs respectively.

However, Zhao Jiwei was in a good mood today and even made a joke before leaving.

"Xia Jie, we live downstairs. If someone has bad intentions towards you, remember to shout out and we will come to rescue you immediately."

As soon as the other three left, only Zhou Chen and Xia Jie were left on the second floor. For a moment, the atmosphere was a little stagnant. Xia Jie pushed her hair behind her ears.

"I forgot my toothbrush. Do you have a new one here?"

"Yes, it's in the bathroom. Come with me."

Zhou Chen gave Xia Jie a new toothbrush, toothpaste and towel.

"you……"

"I……"

Zhou Chen smiled casually: "Okay, you can wash up first. I'll go back to the room to rest. See you tomorrow morning."

Xia Jie nodded silently: "Thank you, see you tomorrow morning."

Early in the morning, Xia Jie got up and hurried to the bathroom. The first thing she did was to look at the left side of her face in the mirror.

"Fortunately, it's gone."

Seeing that the redness and swelling on the left side of her face had subsided, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Although she was a police officer and her ability was more important than her appearance, she was a girl after all and she still cared about her appearance.

It happened that Zhou Chen came out of the bedroom at this time, saw Xia Jie's actions, and said with a smile: "It seems that the popsicle I bought yesterday did something good. It saved our disfigured Officer Xia."

Xia Jie glanced at him and said angrily: "Can you stop laughing at me all the time? I think you are quite serious when talking to others, why do you always laugh at me?"

"So, you are special in my eyes."

Xia Jie's face suddenly turned red: "Go away, go away quickly, I have to wash up." After saying that, she closed the bathroom door.

"After washing up, I went downstairs. Zhao Jiwei bought breakfast and we will eat together later."

"Know it."

Zhou Chen smiled. After washing himself, he took the quilt to the balcony and spread it to dry in the air before going downstairs.

After Xia Jie finished her work and went downstairs, she saw Zhou Chen and the four of them had already gathered around the table to have breakfast.

"Xia Jie is down, come over and have breakfast."

Zhao Jiwei warmly greeted Xia Jie to come and sit down, and then pointed to the breakfast on the table: "Xia Jie, you can choose what you want to eat. Scan the QR code after you choose."

Xia Jie looked at the payment QR code handed over by Zhao Jiwei in confusion.

"What's the meaning?"

Zhou Chen and the other three all laughed, and Yang Shu explained: "This is Zhao Jiwei. He is responsible for buying breakfast every day. After buying it, he sells it to us. If you want to eat it, you have to scan the QR code to pay."

Xia Jie was shocked. She had never lived in a dormitory before, but she had never encountered this kind of situation.

Zhao Jiwei explained: "First of all, let me explain that this is an honest transaction. I don't even confiscate a penny of service fees. I will sell it to you for how much I paid for it. Brothers, I will settle the accounts clearly."

Zhou Chen said: "I can prove that Zhao Jiwei is indeed doing business in good faith. We should have paid him for running errands, but he didn't want it."

Xia Jie stupidly picked breakfast, then scanned the QR code to pay. She was uneasy after eating this breakfast, and her strange eyes glanced at Zhao Jiwei from time to time.

Balihe Police Station, Director's Office.

Wang Shou opened his mouth and looked at Zhou Chen in disbelief: "Aren't you kidding me?"

"Director, are I kidding you? Everything I say is true. I'm sure that Yue Wei has definitely killed people, and there are more than one. If we investigate him, we will definitely find out a big case."

Zhou Chen sounded affirmative. After coming to the police station today, he came to the director's office and wanted to persuade Wang Shouyi to investigate Yue Wei, but it was obvious that Wang Shouyi did not believe him.

Wang Shou leaned back in his chair to make his waist more comfortable: "Are you sure he is a murderer? How can you be sure?"

"The eyes of a murderer are different from those of ordinary people. When I was sitting in Yue Wei's car, I could clearly feel that he was something special. His eyes were very similar to those of a murderer."

Wang Shouyi rubbed his head, really speechless.

"Zhou Chen, I have always thought that you are very mature and steady. Even if we had different opinions about last time, it was just a difference of opinion. But this time, you told me that you found a murderer with your eyes, and you asked I sent people to investigate and collect evidence, how do you expect me to believe it?"

Zhou Chen said: "Director, I know it's hard to accept this, but what I say is true."

"Okay, okay, stop talking, Zhou Chen, we are the police, not filming a TV series. We can't investigate a citizen just because of your so-called suspicion. This is against the regulations; we police have to present evidence. Yes, you have no evidence. Even if you know that the man is a murderer, you can't convict him, not to mention that all of this is your personal guess, do you understand?"

Wang Shouyi said sincerely that he felt that Zhou Chen had been a little distracted recently, maybe because he had received so many compliments that he had lost himself.

Zhou Chen was a little disappointed, but he didn't argue. He just said, "I understand. The reason is that I was abrupt."

After leaving the director's office, his expression did not change. He had guessed this result before he came, mainly because the reason he gave was indeed unreliable, and Wang Shouyi's character did not want to cause trouble, but just wanted to maintain peace. , it is destined to be impossible to listen to him and investigate Yue Wei.

But Wang Shouyi didn't agree, which didn't mean he would give up. Yue Wei must be eliminated as soon as possible. If Wang Shouyi didn't agree, then he would find someone who was willing.

As soon as he came down from the second floor, Zhou Chen felt that the atmosphere in the office area was not right, and then he saw Zhao Jiwei running in front of him in a hurry.

"Zhou Chen, what's wrong, the woman who beat Xia Jie yesterday is here to cause trouble again. She even asked Xia Jie to apologize, and now she's making trouble in the mediation room."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chen walked directly to the mediation room without saying a word.

When people in the office area saw Zhou Chen's posture, their expressions changed slightly, and many people followed him.

Zhou Chen and Xia Jie have a very good relationship. Everyone in the institute knows this. Now that Xia Jie is being bullied, they are afraid that Zhou Chen will cause some trouble.

"Quick, go upstairs and call the director and instructor."

As soon as Zhou Chen approached the mediation room, he heard a sharp female voice.

"You won't apologize, right? Let me tell you, I gave you a chance today, but now you think about it, I won't accept it..."

Zhou Chen suddenly walked into the mediation room, stood in front of Xia Jie, and interrupted Ms. Wu's words.

"Sorry, even if you accept it, she won't say, we don't need this opportunity of yours."

The already tense atmosphere became even more severe with Zhou Chen's sudden arrival and intervention.

Ms. Wu, who wore glasses and had a mean face, looked angry when she saw Zhou Chen suddenly appeared.

"Who are you?"

Zhou Chen said calmly: "I am Zhou Chen, a trainee police officer from Balihe Police Station."

Ms. Wu looked disdainful: "Another trainee police officer. What, you want to stand up for her?"

"It's not enough to stand up, but Ms. Wu threatened a police officer in our police station. As a colleague, I still have to stand up."

When Cheng Hao saw Zhou Chen jumping out again, his head hurt even more, and he quickly lectured: "Zhou Chen, what are you doing here? Get out quickly. This matter has nothing to do with you. Don't cause trouble."

Zhou Chen retorted: "How could it be okay? Xia Jie and I are colleagues and friends. How could I just sit idly by and ignore her being bullied?"

"Bullying? Okay, you said I bullied her?"

Ms. Wu's eyes widened and she screamed angrily: "Is it really the evil person who complained first? Is this how your police station handles cases? I want to file a complaint. I must file a complaint against you. I will make sure that none of you get the good news."

"Doctor Wu, calm down first and let's talk about it later." Cheng Hao wanted to persuade him again.

But Zhou Chen didn't tolerate her and shouted suddenly: "Madam, pay attention to your tone and attitude. This is the police station, not a place for you to act recklessly."

Doctor Wu was not afraid at all. Instead, he screamed again: "What, do you still want to hit me? Come on, come on, hit me. I figured it out. This is how your police station handles cases. You also threaten the person who reported the case. I Be sure to ask city leaders and let them know how you treat legal citizens."

"You can ask or file a complaint, but I can also charge you with assaulting a police officer."

With that said, Zhou Chen took out his mobile phone and opened the photo taken of Xia Jie last night. In the photo, Xia Jie's face was swollen.

"This is physical evidence. There were other police officers with Officer Xia at the time, and even your daughter was present. They were all witnesses. You can say that you did it unintentionally, but it does not mean that an unintentional attack on the police officer is not an attack. police."

Doctor Wu was shaking with anger and pointed at Zhou Chen: "You, are you threatening me?"

Zhou Chen said softly: "Doctor Wu, this is serious. You are so powerful, how dare I threaten you? I am just telling the truth; your daughter is missing, we help you find her, and when you find your daughter, you come to talk to us about your dignity, Doctor Wu, not only do you have dignity, we as police officers also have dignity. We are public servants of the people, but it does not mean that we can be bullied by others. We..."

"Shut up, Zhou Chen, shut up."

Wang Shou pushed away the crowd angrily, walked into the mediation room, and pointed at Zhou Chen and scolded him.

"You, what are you doing? Get out of here, get out of here and take Xia Jie away with you."

Under the threat of Wang Shouyi's gaze, Zhou Chen could only give up unhappily and continue talking, pulling Xia Jie, who was looking at him blankly, out of the mediation room.

"Don't leave, you two, don't leave. I haven't finished talking yet. Why are you leaving?"

As soon as Zhou Chen left, Doctor Wu became arrogant again. He jumped on his feet and yelled in the direction Zhou Chen and the others were leaving. His stern and shy attitude was no different from that of an old woman in the countryside scolding the streets.

After scolding Zhou Chen, Wang Shouyi suddenly put on a smile and hurriedly grabbed Doctor Wu.

"Doctor Wu, Doctor Wu, don't be angry. I am the director of Balihe Police Station. If you have any questions, you can tell me and I will solve the problem for you."

When Doctor Wu heard that Wang Shouyi was the director, he immediately became furious.

"You are the director. Are all the policemen in your police station like them? Threatening me. Was he threatening me just now?"

"No, no, Doctor Wu, you misunderstood. He definitely didn't mean this. They are still young. Young people can sometimes be a bit stubborn. As elders, we can understand. It's understandable."

"Who are their elders? I don't understand them either. I don't want to understand them. I must complain to them. I also want to complain to your police station."

Ms. Wu screamed loudly, then pushed Wang Shouyi away, shook her bag and left the police station.

Wang Shouyi looked at her leaving figure helplessly.

"What's this called?"

Zhou Chen and Xia Jie were called to the office by Wang Shouyi and were criticized.

"Tell me, what are you two doing, what are you doing? As for arguing with her, making trouble with her? Especially you, Zhou Chen, does this have anything to do with you? If you insist on coming forward, do you know if that How much impact will it have on you if Dr. Wu calls to complain?"

Facing Wang Shouyi's reprimand, Zhou Chen looked calm and calm.

"No matter how big the impact is, it doesn't matter. We are here to work. We can be angry for the sake of work, but we must not lose our dignity. That doctor Wu said that Xia Jie violated her dignity, so he arbitrarily asked Xia Jie to apologize. , Xia Jie is right, why should you apologize?"

"I came forward today not only for Xia Jie, but also for everyone. If we meet such a person again in the future, will everyone have to put down their dignity and apologize? If this is the case, I don't accept it, and I don't accept it. Can’t accept it.”

Xia Jie said loudly: "I don't accept it either."

"Are you two going to make me mad to death?"

Wang Shou pointed at Zhou Chen angrily and their hands trembled.

Ye Wei, the instructor sitting next to him, quickly persuaded: "Director, don't be too angry. They are all children, their own children."

Wang Shou said angrily: "It's his own child, that's why I'm angry. Look at their attitude. They are so domineering. Those who don't know think I'm bullying them both. They're so tough."

"Yes, Director, everything you said is right."

Ye Wei first agreed, but then said: "But, I personally feel that Dr. Wu went too far today. I have listened to what Cheng said about the ins and outs of everything. No problems at all.”

"Maybe she said a few inappropriate words, but she definitely didn't mean to offend, and she was beaten. But Doctor Wu, despite beating Xia Jie yesterday, he still came to the police station to make a fuss today, no matter from which side. Look, the bigger problem is Dr. Wu."

Wang Shou listened one by one: "Oh, instructor, there is a problem with your words. We are law enforcement officers and we have to solve problems for the people."

"Having said that, it doesn't mean that we have to be angry and beaten. Xia Jie is still young after all. You are really making things too difficult for her by asking her to put down her dignity and apologize. I think Doctor Wu is here to cause trouble on purpose."

Because this was in private and there were no outsiders, that's why Ye Wei spoke so frankly.

"Master is right. I think Doctor Wu is not happy with his life and is deliberately looking for trouble." Zhou Chen said deliberately.

"Come on, I don't even care about you anymore, you're still in high spirits."

Wang Shouyi was very angry. He also discovered that he was absolutely dissatisfied with Zhou Chen. This boy had a very tough temper. He seemed to respect him and had a good attitude, but in fact, he had the right idea in his heart. And I don't agree with his way of doing things.

But Qi Guiqi, he was just angry with Zhou Chen for making things worse, not Zhou Chen as a person. He didn't know why Zhou Chen did this, but he was used to his own way of handling things over the years. Method, always want to value peace, even if you suffer a little loss, you must solve the problem.

This is the experience he has accumulated from his many years as a police officer. He feels that newcomers like Zhou Chen are still too young to understand his good intentions.

"Director, why don't you leave this matter to me? I guarantee that Dr. Wu will not dare to be so presumptuous again."

Upon hearing Zhou Chen's words and looking at Zhou Chen's eyes, Wang Shouyi suddenly got excited and quickly stopped him.

"No, I still want to retreat to the second line safely. Don't cause trouble for me. You are not allowed to participate in this matter. Leave it to the office. Do you hear me?"

Zhou Chen asked, "What are you going to do about it, director? Are you going to personally take people to apologize to Dr. Wu? With her attitude today, do you think she will let it go even if you go? I don't think so." , even if you do this, it will make her even more aggressive."

Wang Shou felt a headache. Zhou Chen guessed correctly. He had this plan. Now that Zhou Chen had brought it up, and thinking of Doctor Wu's posture just now, he realized that Zhou Chen's words were not alarmist.

"Then, what do you want, just go head-to-head with Dr. Wu? But have you ever thought about it? Even if we take care of this matter, if it gets too big, it won't do us any good. Instead, it will make the leaders above feel that we can't handle it well. question."

Zhou Chen shook his head and said: "I don't think all the leaders think so. The leaders may care more about the dignity of the police than we do. Anyway, I just feel that we are not wrong in this matter and cannot retreat; there are some things we can retreat from, and there are some things we can retreat from." You can't back down, you have to be tough when you should be tough, if you don't take your own dignity seriously, how can others care."

"Hey, you brat, who are you talking about?"

Wang Shou pointed at Zhou Chen, and everyone was infuriated. This kid was getting bolder and bolder now, and he even started to flirt with him.

"Okay, send me the photo of Xia Jie on your phone. Also, Xia Jie, go back and write a report. Write down the detailed process of this incident and give it to me before get off work."
