The Case of Love

Chapter 23 The Captain is Handsome
Su Xiaohan's voice was gentle and soft, but it revealed an unquestionable certainty.

"You are right, so my opinion has changed. Maybe girls are not suitable to be police officers, but you are. You are smart, careful and brave." Zhou Yifeng said sincerely.

Hearing Zhou Yifeng talking about bravery, Su Xiaohan smiled awkwardly, "Captain Zhou, I'm not brave enough. This morning I..."

"That's nothing. I was the same as you when I first went to the scene. With more experience, you will get better naturally." Zhou Yifeng turned his head to look at her, but quickly avoided her sight.

"Thank you, Captain Zhou, thank you for your understanding!" Su Xiaohan said gratefully. At this moment, she was more certain of her judgment that Zhou Yifeng was a person with a cold face but a warm heart. He looked cold on the surface, but he was a considerate leader who treated his subordinates well.

"Ting Zhisong heard that your family has a company and it's managed by your sister." Zhou Yifeng said casually.

"Well, because I didn't want to take care of the company's affairs, my sister went to the company after my dad left. I know she did this so that I could do what I like." Su Xiaohan felt guilty towards her sister.

"When did you start wanting to be a policeman? When you were very young?" Zhou Yifeng was very curious about why Su Xiaohan wanted to be a policeman. As far as he knew, this was the dream of many men when they were young.

"When I was in high school, I had never thought about it before. A lot of things happened in those years in high school. First, my best friend disappeared. Then on the Dragon Boat Festival, my dad went to the garment factory to comfort the workers. When he first entered the workshop, there was nothing unusual, but as soon as the workers received the rice dumplings, someone found a flame, and then almost in an instant, an explosion occurred in the workshop, and my dad and several workers could not get out. The investigation results at the time said it was an accident, but there were many suspicious points about the fire in the garment factory. Because everything was too coincidental, it was as if someone had carefully designed it. There are people in the factory conducting regular safety inspections every day. Accidents should not have happened, and even if an accident did happen, it couldn't be so coincidental that it happened during the time period when my dad went to the workshop to deliver rice dumplings. I suspect that this is not an accident, but someone did it deliberately, but there is no evidence." Perhaps because she trusted Zhou Yifeng enough, Su Xiaohan couldn't help but tell him the secret in her heart.

"I didn't expect you to have experienced so much at such a young age." Zhou Yifeng looked down at him, his deep eyes seemed to be surging with waves, "You said you suspected that the fire was not an accident, do you have any basis? Or what made you doubt it?"

"The investigation result of that fire was that the fire was caused by a short circuit in the wires. Later, I asked the factory's electrician, Master Liu, and he said that based on the wiring conditions at the time, it was impossible for the wires to be short-circuited. He has been there since the garment factory was founded and has worked in the factory for more than 20 years. I believe he would not lie to me. I also showed the factory's wiring diagram to an expert in the field, and the expert also felt that there was no problem. Therefore, I suspect that someone took advantage of the chaos to deliberately sabotage it, causing the short circuit in the wires. It's just that the fire was too big at the time and developed very quickly, so even if there was evidence, it would have been burned." Recalling the situation at the time, Su Xiaohan's heart ached.

"You became a criminal police officer just to find out the truth? And to find your missing friend?" Zhou Yifeng looked at her again.

"Yes, and not entirely. I like this profession as a policeman. I want to find out the truth and give justice to the victim!" Su Xiaohan met his gaze and said sincerely.

"I'll help you."

"what?"

A low voice sounded, and Su Xiaohan could hardly believe her ears.

"I will help you find out the truth about the fire and help you find your friends." Zhou Yifeng said firmly.

"Captain Zhou, are you really willing to help me?" Su Xiaohan was very excited.

Zhou Yifeng avoided her sight, looked ahead and said, "To be exact, I am not helping you, but fulfilling my duty. Didn't you say that you like the profession of police, and want to find out the truth and give justice to the victim?"

Facing the sunshine, Su Xiaohan looked up at him. At this moment, his handsome face like a sculpture made her want to touch him.

She was independent enough and never thought of relying on anyone, but his words "I'll help you" made her heart feel fulfilled. With him by her side, she was no longer fighting alone.

She really wanted to say "thank you", but before she could say it, Zhou Yifeng's cell phone rang. It was Director Zhao calling, asking about the progress of the case.

Zhou Yifeng walked aside, said a few words to him and hung up the phone. He raised his hand to check the time and said to Su Xiaohan behind him: "I have something to do, I'll go back first!"

"I'll go back too, Captain Zhou!" Su Xiaohan reacted subconsciously.

Zhou Yifeng smiled and walked back.

After entering the office building elevator, Zhou Yifeng pressed the button for the sixth floor. Su Xiaohan thought he was going to report to Director Zhao. She returned to the office alone.

Li Zhisong and the others had already woken up. Seeing her come in, Li Zhisong rubbed his eyes and said, "Junior sister, aren't you sleepy? Why are you going out in the middle of the day?"

"I slept well last night, so I just went out for a walk!" Su Xiaohan whispered.

Li Zhisong looked around and found that Zhou Yifeng was not there. He sighed, "The boss is really good at sleeping. He hasn't come back yet!"

"Captain Zhou woke up early and seemed to have gone to Director Zhao's office." Su Xiaohan explained for Zhou Yifeng.

"Oh." Li Zhisong responded and said nothing more.

In the evening, because the DNA comparison results were not out yet, the next step of the investigation could not be carried out temporarily, and the police officers rarely got off work on time. However, Zhou Yifeng told them to pay attention to the phone at any time, and once the comparison results from Sun Yidan came out, they had to come back to work overtime.

As soon as Su Xiaohan went out, she saw her sister Su Xiaoxin's car. Su Xiaoxin rolled down the window and called her.

"Sister, when did you arrive? Have you been waiting for so long?" Su Xiaohan asked her sister happily as she sat in the passenger seat.

"I just arrived a while ago. In this short while, I made a major discovery. There is a handsome guy in your bureau!" Su Xiaoxin said in disbelief.

"Sister, you are really surprised! Not to mention our bureau, there are handsome guys in our team, and they are very handsome!" Su Xiaohan showed off to her sister while fastening her seat belt. While she was talking, all she could think about was Zhou Yifeng.

"You little girl, your eyes light up when you talk about handsome guys!" Su Xiaoxin gently poked her sister's nose, unable to hide her affection.

While the two sisters were chatting and laughing, Su Xiaoxin started the car. After the car drove a distance, Su Xiaoxin looked at the man on the roadside not far away and said, "This is too coincidental, I met him again!"

Su Xiaohan followed her sister's gaze and couldn't help but smile: "Sister, the handsome guy you just mentioned couldn't be him, right?"

"Yes, it's him! Isn't he handsome?" Su Xiaoxin asked back.

"He is our captain."
