My Life with Narration

Chapter 449 - 441: Becoming Aware

and 1 are jargon used by police to handle homosexual flesh trade, where 0 represents the receiver and 1 represents the giver.

Of course, 0 and 1 are also hieroglyphs, vividly and rudely describing the pose issue between two people.

It wasn’t until after eleven at night that he finished his work and finally breathed a sigh of relief, but he was already somewhat exhausted.

Because of the narration, it was easy to deal with those involved, but the difficult part was how to explain things to the others. Fortunately, in the end, he didn’t need to explain. He simply said it was a guess, and if they didn’t believe him, they could follow his methods, and he’d guarantee they would hit the mark every time. As for how he knew, well, that’s a different price altogether.

Ever since the Zhang Guoxin incident, Li Zijun had completely trusted his words. But since Su Qing wasn’t telling, she wouldn’t ask. After all, she enjoyed the peace, as the case was resolved anyway.

Even the people involved didn’t claim injustice, mainly because Su Qing could always find something irrefutable, thus breaking through.

As for the remaining matters, there were specialized personnel to handle them. It wasn’t his job to manage them. His task was to filter out those involved in flesh trading.

"Su, you’ve worked hard. This time, thanks to you, otherwise with so many people, we might have been busy until the wee hours, maybe even an all-nighter. Come, have some water!"

At this moment, Comrade Lao Zhao pretended to be sincere, handing him a cup of water with a smile.

I never noticed before, but today made it clear: having a talent like him in the team is really useful.

Talking about handling cases efficiently, his section alone was equal to several others, otherwise, we wouldn’t have wrapped everything up so quickly.

Hearing this, Su Qing couldn’t help but roll his eyes at Lao Zhao. This guy usually seemed so honest but turned out to be quite crafty. Was it just because he was a bit harsh in the afternoon, making Wang Gang emo, that he had to rope him in this way?

I’m making millions daily now, and you’re asking me to do overtime? You can afford to pay for that?

He seriously suspected that Lao Zhao was taking personal revenge by deliberately giving him more work.

"Please, spare me the compliments. If I knew there was this much work, I would’ve run off in the afternoon," Su Qing said helplessly as he accepted the water.

"Hahaha, listen to you! We’re trusting in your abilities here. You saw it yourself, your interrogation style amazed the entire station. By tomorrow, everyone will know our forensic science department has a human polygraph!" Zhao Minghui laughed, as he acted on a whim. He hadn’t expected such a great outcome.

Who knew Su Qing had this use; it saves so much trouble. It’ll bring me face in front of the other department heads, won’t it?

"Old Zhao, you’re using a sledgehammer to crack a nut," Lin Chengcai laughed, his eyes nearly shutting. He knew Su Qing was adept at psychological tactics, but he didn’t realize to this degree.

You have to understand, when Su Qing was interrogating, he was observing from a distance. He admitted he could solve the cases too, but definitely not just with psychology. Internal interrogation methods or phone evidence would be needed to make the person confess.

But Su Qing simply asked a question, glanced at them, and arrived at a conclusion. What’s critical is, follow-up police questioning confirmed the results as correct, and the subjects confessed, leaving no room for error.

"Whatever tool it is, as long as it can kill a chicken, it’s fine!"

While they were chatting, Li Zijun also joined them.

"Is it all settled?" Lin Chengcai asked.

Li Zijun nodded, "Yes, we’ve contacted their families. I’m baffled why they’d do this. Can’t they live without women?"

"If they’re not looking for women, they’re looking for men? You’ve seen those two oddballs," Su Qing chimed in.

At that, Li Zijun fell silent. She didn’t discriminate against homosexuality, but coming out and hiring out, and then preferring the same sex—what were they thinking?

Seeing Li Zijun quiet, Su Qing laughed, "Looks like Mr. Lu Xun was right: only sissies sleep with women. Real men sleep with men. Respect!"

Li Zijun: ...

Zhao Minghui: ...

Lin Chengcai: ...

What kind of talk is this? Are young folks this wild nowadays?

"Li, you drive. Take Su home, then get some rest. You don’t need to worry about the remaining work — we’re off-duty too!"

"Got it, boss!"

Li Zijun responded, and then the two left the police station.

In the car, Su Qing sat tiredly in the passenger seat, rubbing his temple. Though he didn’t exert much physically, the recent mental strain made him look quite fatigued.

"Are you alright?" Li Zijun couldn’t help asking when she noticed.

Su Qing shook his head, "It’s nothing, just a bit short on energy lately!"

"Short on energy? What have you been up to?" If it wasn’t for the fact that he was rubbing his temple and not his waist, she would have thought her brother was all used up; after all, his listless look was just like those guys earlier.

"Busy making money, there’s a hot opportunity lately, I need to figure out how to earn something from it. Who knows when the next chance like this will come around?"

Upon hearing this, Li Zijun was a bit puzzled, "Making money? A hot opportunity? Are you planning to take on some ads? Your videos have been quite popular recently, with good viewership, you should be earning a decent amount, right? But don’t overdo it, you can’t make endless money. Look at your sister here, my salary’s not high, but I live decently!"

"Um... I’ll try, but who would give up a good opportunity to make money?" He didn’t explain further, after all, stock trading is quite unreliable. If he told Li Zijun, she’d definitely advise against it, no need for that.

Soon, the car arrived at the entrance to his apartment complex.

"Sister Zijun, I’m heading up, drive safely!" Su Qing said as he prepared to get out of the car.

However, Li Zijun spoke up, "What? Not going to invite me up for a bit?"

Hearing this, Su Qing was taken aback, looking at her with some surprise, "Now? It’s already past midnight, you’re not going home?"

Actually, the time was only part of it, mainly because Shen Yi was also there, and these two are like oil and water. The tension from their first meeting is still vivid in his memory.

Upon hearing this, Li Zijun stared into his eyes for quite a while, saying nothing. Just as Su Qing was getting extremely anxious, she suddenly smiled, making the dim street lights around seem much brighter, and then she softly said:

"Just kidding. Honestly, it’s only recently that I noticed that the little brother from back then has grown so much, able to join me at work. But you still need to be careful, there are many bad people in society, especially women, you know?

Alright then, off you go, get some rest!"

"Got it, Sister Zijun, you too. Oh, by the way, I have some things to do this month, I might not be able to make it to the police station. Please let Captain Zhao know."

Upon hearing this, Li Zijun made an ’OK’ gesture, then drove off after he got out of the car.

Watching the car disappear into the distance, he suddenly felt that Sister Zijun might have sensed something. Although this matter couldn’t be hidden, the thought of her first meeting with Shen Yi made his scalp tingle.

Just as he was thinking about it, a narration popped into his mind:

[The dashing Li Zijun, while decisive in her actions, also has a woman’s intuition as sharp as a hair. She might have sensed that you’re possibly in a relationship, and the other party is probably the woman she thinks of as an older lady]

Su Qing: ...

He figured Li Zijun might have sensed something. It’s undeniable that a woman’s sixth sense can be frighteningly sharp.

Thinking too much is pointless. Su Qing shook his head; if he and Shen Yi were to really end up together, given the relationship between the two families, it was only a matter of time before everyone knew, just as long as they didn’t clash again.

Upon returning upstairs and opening the living room door, he found Shen Yi already asleep on the sofa.

Hearing the door, she muddledly opened her eyes and, with a slightly coquettish tone, said, "You’re back, why so late tonight?"

Her tone was like a little wife waiting for her husband to return home, making it a delight just watching her.

"Went to the police station, got roped into a mission by them!"

"A mission? What mission, was it dangerous?" Shen Yi immediately perked up and asked hurriedly upon hearing this.

"It’s nothing, just that the leadership at the station thought I was too idle and found something for me to do. Went with them to catch some suspected prostitutes! Didn’t even need me to step in!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Yi sighed in relief; she was especially worried about Su Qing running into something unexpected at the police station.

"If you ask me, you might as well stop working at the station. It’s not like it pays much; if worse comes to worst, I can support you. It’s not like I can’t!" Shen Yi became a squirming caterpillar on the sofa for a while before sitting up and opening her arms for a hug.

In response, Su Qing immediately sat beside her, pulling her into his embrace and gently patting her back while laughing, "I know you’re loaded, okay? But how can a guy not have work? Your wealth is yours; even though you might not care about the money I make, as a man, I can’t not earn money. It’s not to reduce your burden, but to be your fallback, so that even if one day you’re out of money, I can still provide for you!"

He said this sincerely; it was a principle instilled in him by his father and mother, Zhou Hui, since childhood. A man might not always be the pillar of the family, but he must be the last recourse for them, able to hold up the sky at critical moments.

Hearing this, Auntie Shen’s face was all smiles, deeply moved at heart. Her man, though young, was truly a very good one. Not to mention anything else, his sense of responsibility alone already made him a good man.

"Muah~~ Sister’s heart is melting; say a few more words; I want to hear!"

"Oh, why talk about this now, I’m tired today, let’s discuss this some other day, some other day."

Shen Yi: "Little brother, you’re being naughty~~"
