Tiger Police

Chapter 74 I'm Recognizing You

The daily working meal in the canteen of the sub-bureau is four dishes and one soup, two meat and two vegetables plus pickles.

When Wang Xiongjie and others passed by, it was already past the hour of eating, and the restaurant was very empty.

They put two strip dining tables together, Zhang Guowei went to the kitchen and asked for two large plates, Hu Pingtao took out the vegetables Su Xiaolin bought from the paper bag, and spread them out on the plates.

Two "Fushunju" roast chickens, plus a chicken offal.

Thinly sliced ​​braised beef filled the plate, and half a kilo of shredded pork belly.

There are many, and rich.In contrast, the meals reserved in the cafeteria are more like a foil.

Holding chopsticks in his hand, Wang Xiongjie smiled at Su Xiaolin: "Xiao Su, you are making too much of an outsider. Xiaohu is a member of our criminal police team. It is your first time here today. How can I let you treat me?"

Su Xiaolin sat down next to Hu Pingtao, and smiled sweetly: "It should be, Brother Wang, you didn't eat to wait for me to come, I just stopped by to buy some stewed vegetables, it's really nothing."

Wang Xiongjie is not hypocritical: "Then we will not be polite. Today is very busy, and I have to work overtime after dinner. I have made a note of your favor, Xiao Su, and we will make an appointment again when we are on vacation."

As he spoke, he moved his chopsticks to the roast chicken in front of him.

Others followed suit.

When a man eats, he should be like a tiger descending a mountain, rude, fierce, barbaric, and hearty.

Su Xiaolin sat next to Hu Pingtao, ate small bites, and added food to his plate from time to time.

Hu Pingtao was a little embarrassed, and said in a low voice: "I'm too busy recently, I don't have time to accompany you. When you rest another day, you have the final say."

Su Xiaolin looked at him with a smirk on her face, her voice was also very low: "Really?"

"You are my wife!" Hu Pingtao replied solemnly.

In a dark place where no one could see, Su Xiaolin pinched the soft flesh on his waist, and said angrily, "You are quite courageous from a girlfriend to a daughter-in-law all of a sudden! I haven't agreed yet!"

The dining table is so big, even though the two people's voices are very low, it is inevitable that they will be heard by others.

Wang Xiongjie swallowed the food in his mouth, raised his chopsticks and nodded at Hu Pingtao twice, and said with a smile: "Xiaohu, Xiaosu is so beautiful, there should be many men chasing her. You have to hurry up and get married as soon as possible."

This made everyone laugh.

Su Xiaolin's face was flushed with shame, she didn't dare to raise her head, so she turned sideways and buried her head in Hu Pingtao's arms.

Hu Pingtao also became very happy, and nodded readily in response: "Okay, I will try to let everyone drink my wedding wine as soon as possible."

Su Xiaolin was ashamed and anxious, she quickly raised her head, pinched his arm, and said angrily, "You...what are you talking about!"

Infected by the surrounding atmosphere, Hu Pingtao replied solemnly: "I'm thinking about getting married. Why, don't you want to marry me?"

This is pushing the boat along the way, and it is deliberately creating momentum.

Su Xiaolin was actually quite willing in her heart, but she refused to let go of what she said: "Who is going to marry you? We just met, not to that level."

Zhang Guowei said with a smile on the opposite side: "Xiao Su, what you said is wrong. There is no necessary relationship between the length of time we have known each other and marriage. Let's just talk about me. My wife and I were introduced by others. We have been together for two weeks. Obtain the certificate. It has been decades of bumps and bumps, and I have had a child until now. According to me, it is best not to fall in love for more than half a year, and it is true to get married quickly. I don’t understand why young people nowadays want We talked about it for several years, saying that we need to "get to know each other better" before we are willing to get married, isn't it the same to get to know each other after marriage!"

The roast chicken in "Fushunju" is full of flavor and delicious. Gu Dewei chewed the chicken and tried his best to say good things to Hu Pingtao: "Xiao Su, look at how handsome Xiaohu is. Many celebrities don't have such good looks." .Although our job as a policeman is a bit hard and tiring, wearing this uniform can calm the scene. If you don’t get married soon, maybe Xiaohu will be snatched away by another woman.”

"He dares!" Su Xiaolin called out subconsciously, and then she became embarrassed, and her volume dropped instantly: "...he...he won't..."

Tang Yuan said with a smile: "Only civil servants can be a policeman. Although they usually work a lot of overtime, their jobs are stable and their income is not bad. Xiao Su, Brother Tang, I'm only telling you this for your own good. I don't tell him ordinary people."

Wang Xiongjie tapped the edge of the metal dinner plate with the tip of his chopsticks, and stood up to smooth things over: "Don't say a few words. You all think that you are Zhuge Liang? In fact, you are all like pigs! What happened to Xiao Su and Xiao Hu, they have their own affairs." Intend."

He immediately turned around and said sincerely to Su Xiaolin: "Xiao Su, to be honest, Xiaohu is very good, he is a good man. Let me declare first: I didn't mean to help him say good things! Everything I said is based on real evidence. Xiaohu has helped us solve several cases. He usually works carefully and never complains when he works overtime. If he is a veteran policeman, he doesn’t need to talk about it. These are all his duties. Xiaosu, you know that young people today are not as good as us These old people are very different. I’m not talking about you, many young people are lazy and lazy, they only think about the pie in the sky, and they want to get a high salary without doing anything. But they don’t think about it, is this possible?”

"That's why I want to transfer Xiaohu from the police station and join our criminal police team. Hehe, I really don't want to be replaced by someone else. As a leader, who would want to have slackers under his command? Who wouldn't Do you want everyone under your command to be industry elites?"

"You are Xiaohu's girlfriend, so you should know him better. Let me give you a reference. Don't worry, you can't be wrong!"

Su Xiaolin nodded frequently, her long eyelashes fluttering constantly.

……

After the meal, Hu Pingtao escorted her out of the gate of the sub-bureau.

After walking tens of meters along the sidewalk, Su Xiaolin suddenly stopped, turned around, and asked seriously, "Are you always so busy at work?"

Hu Pingtao didn't deny it, he nodded silently.

"Is there overtime every day? Or is there no rest every week?" Su Xiaolin put her hands behind her back, raised her head, and looked into his eyes.

"As long as there is a case, no matter whether you are on vacation or on vacation, you have to come back to work." Hu Pingtao said truthfully.He didn't want to lie about it, and he didn't have to.

Su Xiaolin stared at him for a long time, as if she wanted to see through Hu Pingtao's eyes the secret hidden in his heart.

After a long time, she asked seriously, "Why can't you lie to me?"

Hu Pingtao understood the meaning hidden in her, and couldn't help laughing: "I'm lying to you that I'm free at work and have a lot of time?"

Su Xiaolin's expression was calm and natural: "I'm your girlfriend, why can't I be nice and make me happy?"

Hu Pingtao shook his head and said firmly, "I won't lie, let alone lie about this kind of thing."

Su Xiaolin stared at him closely, with confusion in her eyes.

In Hu Pingtao's view, her expression was mixed with indifference and indescribable mystery at the same time, and it was impossible to find out more specific ingredients.

After half a minute, she suddenly smiled: "You are so boring."

Hu Pingtao also smiled: "You're wrong, I actually have one, but it's working hours now."

Su Xiaolin opened her hands, hugged his waist, and leaned against Hu Pingtao's body, her tone and mood were a little low: "I know you are very busy, and I know that the police profession is more about dedication and dedication. But I really wish you could spend more time with me."

Hu Pingtao gently stroked her soft long hair: "It's only a moment to lie to make you happy. Lies will always be exposed. Instead of saying hundreds of good words to make up for it, it's better to tell you the truth now... ...Are you still willing to be my girlfriend?"

"Yes." Su Xiaolin raised her head, her eyes were a little confused: "I'm afraid of staying at home alone in the future. If you work overtime every day and come home late, I... I'm afraid of the dark..."

Hu Pingtao fell silent again.

"The last time I came back from Lijiang, I told my parents what happened between us." Su Xiaolin said timidly: "My mother also said that the police can't take care of the house when they are busy, and let me do it myself. My father is He was very supportive and said that I would take you home for a meal, and he would check it out for me..."

Seeing her bright eyes, hesitant to speak, Hu Pingtao smiled.

He could see the contradiction in Su Xiaolin's heart, and he could also feel the love for him in the other party's heart.

Raising his hand, he gently scraped Su Xiaolin's smooth and white nose, and said softly: "Actually, you have already made a decision, haven't you?"

Su Xiaolin bit her lower lip, and then let go, with a complex expression on her face, more of a relief: "It seems that I am destined to become a police wife?"

Hu Pingtao held her in his arms, lowered his head and smiled and said, "I really didn't expect you to come today, nor did I expect to propose to you informally on this occasion."

"Huh! You just know." Su Xiaolin turned into a pampered girl again: "You owe me a grand marriage proposal. I want roses, I want rings, and I want..."

Looking at her beautiful face, Hu Pingtao couldn't bear it anymore, bent down, and blocked her mouth and all the words that followed.

Su Xiaolin felt that her brain froze instantly and her mind went blank.

Although it is very secluded here, it is a road after all.The evening sky in summer is far less dark than in winter, and there are not too few people coming and going on the street.

He just hugged me and kissed me like that?

OMG, everyone around is watching!

Su Xiaolin didn't dare to struggle, she could only close her eyes, feeling the crazy heat from Hu Pingtao in the chaos and sweetness.

There is only one default thought left in my mind.

If you refuse to marry me in the future, I will die for you!

……

As night falls, the lights are on.

In the hot summer, the city is more bustling at night than during the day.The bustling flow of people occupies every corner of the downtown area. The cool wind blows away the busyness and drives away the heat. Men, women and children like to go shopping at this time, and the bustle and noise will last until late.

Hu Pingtao and Zhang Yixuan came out of the "Heracles" gym, entered the elevator, and pressed the number keys for the parking lot on the third floor.

Wang Xiongjie divided the large fitness institutions in the city into grid areas, and at the same time asked colleagues from other branches to provide support.Hu Pingtao and Zhang Yixuan are in charge of areas A1 to A3. Starting tonight, they will check point by point in order to find the mysterious muscular man on the surveillance video.

Watching Hu Pingtao turn the key to start the engine, Zhang Yixuan, who remained silent all the way, suddenly said, "Your girlfriend is pretty."

Hu Pingtao turned his head and gave him a surprised look.

Zhang Yixuan looked straight ahead, as if he was talking to himself: "Captain Wang has been praising you, I don't understand why. Didn't it just solve a few cases, what's so great about it. I have read your materials, you I used to be an auxiliary police officer at the Eryuan Road Police Station, and I was admitted as a civil servant only last year. Anyway, I graduated from a regular police academy after all, and I am not comparable to someone like you who has become a monk halfway through."

Although Hu Pingtao had started the engine, he was not in a hurry to drive away.He turned sideways, watched Zhang Yixuan quietly, and patiently waited for the other party's unfinished words.

"Team Wang talked to me a few times and asked me not to target you. I think what he said made sense. I admit that I look down on you, but you are not my enemy. Anyway, everyone is a colleague, I want I will beat you upright!"

Hu Pingtao raised one eyebrow.

Zhang Yixuan's words sound a bit abrupt, but as long as he thinks about it carefully, it is not difficult to understand his psychological feelings at the moment.

If Su Xiaolin didn't come to the branch office for dinner today, Zhang Yixuan would not take the initiative to talk to Hu Pingtao.

Of course, he didn't covet Su Xiaolin, but because of her, he developed a very strange way of thinking.

I want to use my strength to prove that I am stronger than you!
Shakespeare said: There are a thousand Hamlets in the eyes of a thousand people.

Zhang Yixuan has his own set of behavior standards.He has no malice towards Hu Pingtao or Su Xiaolin.It was only because of Su Xiaolin's appearance that he felt that he had dropped a notch compared to Hu Pingtao in an instant, and he was eager to get back the points he lost by focusing on what he was best at.

He turned around, with a sharp and firm look in his eyes: "Do you dare to compete with me?"

"Compared to what?" Hu Pingtao asked seriously.

"Let's see who finds the key points to solve this case first." Zhang Yixuan's tone was very cold and arrogant: "Unfounded guesses and ideas don't count, and convincing evidence must be found."

Hu Pingtao smiled: "What's the bet?"

This sentence made Zhang Yixuan stunned on the spot.

He never thought about it.

After thinking about it, an arrogant look appeared on his face again: "If you win, you can be my friend."

Zhang Yixuan immediately emphasized: "We are just colleagues now."

He is an extremely confident and proud man.

Only those who are recognized by him can become friends.

"A word is settled!"

Hu Pingtao didn't argue, just smiled faintly, let go of the hand brake, stepped on the clutch, and the police car drove out of the underground parking lot along the road pointing to the arrow.

……

Two days have passed.

The case went nowhere.

Hu Pingtao and Zhang Yixuan were in the office of the second technical department, facing the investigation reports on the table, they frowned and thought at the same time.

I ran all the fitness centers in the area I was in charge of, but found nothing.
