Chapter 4
As the lights faded, another bustle of the day gradually appeared in the city, and everyone seemed to have changed into another glamorous and decent appearance.

Qin Xiaoman stood outside the chief arrest house of the public concession, looking at the police flag fluttering in the wind on the second-floor building, with endless anticipation in his heart, surging enthusiasm, sweeping away the chill from the cold bath last night.

"Hello, my name is Qin Xiaoman, I..."

"Ahh-"

The big yawn of the police officer at the front desk made Qin Xiaoman a little overwhelmed, and the enthusiasm just now gradually cooled down.The policeman raised his head and wiped his saliva with his cuff, then took out his hat from under his buttocks and put it on.This action made Qin Xiaoman very disgusted.In her opinion, police uniforms should not be treated so casually. Even her own school uniforms were always washed clean by her, and no disrespect was allowed.And now, on the first day of coming to the police station, Qin Xiaoman actually saw a police officer in the Shanghai Concession do such a behavior, which really disappointed Qin Xiaoman.

"Hey! What on earth are you doing here?"

Qin Xiaoman was taken aback for a moment, sure enough, the policeman didn't listen to a word of what he said just now.Xiaoman bit her lip and looked at the impatient expression of the man. Then she thought that she had lost her luggage and it might be troublesome enough to report, so she better be more polite.Thinking of this, Qin Xiaoman suppressed his anger, and said again: "Hello, my name is Qin Xiaoman, I am a graduate of the third phase of East China No. [-] Police Academy, and I am here to report."

The police officer in front of him was still sleepy, lazily stretched out his saliva-stained hand: "Letter of introduction."

Xiao Man frowned: "I just got off the train yesterday to catch a thief and lost all my luggage."

The police officer at the front desk yawned again: "Are you here to report the crime?"

Xiaoman rolled her eyes up and shrugged her shoulders helplessly: "No, I'm here to report."

"A letter of introduction?" The police officer at the front desk looked up at Qin Xiaoman, and also put on a weird expression, as if Xiaoman couldn't understand what he was talking about.

"lost."

The police officer knocked on the table: "So you are here to report the crime."

"I'm here to report... well, my luggage is lost, I'm here to report!" Xiaoman finally gave up talking to this brainless policeman.

"What kind of luggage?" The police officer asked with a pen in his hands.

"A big brown suitcase, two small suitcases, and a cloth bag." Xiaoman said, gesturing with his hands, "The big suitcase contains a change of clothes, and five books, one of which is the book by Professor Andre from the United States. The criminal investigation manual compiled, one is the exploration of criminal psychology compiled by the British Royal Police Academy..."

"Okay, okay, needless to say, is it these?" The policeman threw down his pen, pointed to a sofa not far from the front desk and said.

Xiaoman followed the pointer and saw a few leather suitcases piled up next to the sofa, which were her own luggage!

"Why are you here?" Xiaoman said and hurried over.

"Someone delivered it last night." The policeman stretched himself.

"Great……"

Xiaoman, who had just been immersed in the joy of getting it back, was stunned for a moment. She turned the purse upside down repeatedly, but she didn't drop a single coin. In the end, she could only hang her head in frustration.

Seeing this, the policeman shook his head slightly, and pushed an envelope in front of Xiaoman: "It's no big deal if the money is lost, as long as the letter of introduction is still there, you can report to Inspector Javert, the office enters through the office area on the left Turn around, the word 'Inspector' is written on the door."

Xiaoman looked at the letter of introduction in a hurry, thinking that fortunately this is not lost, and the salary can still be paid in advance.

"Thank you." Xiaoman thanked her and hurried away, because she didn't want to be stared at by the police officers at the front desk who looked like mocking eyes.

But the police officer at the front desk wanted to add a sentence: "Don't lose your luggage next time, female police detective."

Xiaoman quickly walked through the corridor and came to a large and spacious office area, but there was no one there, so it was not surprising.Have you all gone out to work?Is the arrest room so busy on weekdays?
"Is anyone there?" Xiaoman leaned on a pillar and looked around.

At this time, there was a moaning sound similar to wrestling from the left suite, followed by a burst of shouting and booing.Xiaoman looked for the sound and walked over, pushed open the door, and the noise instantly came to her face.I saw a group of patrolmen divided into two groups, huddled together to watch the arm wrestling.Xiaoman walked over and saw that a medium-sized police detective and a strong man were wrestling, and the strong man was at a disadvantage.

Qin Xiaoman, who often wrestled with male students at the police academy, was also infected by the surrounding atmosphere at this time. Seeing that the strong man was about to lose, he couldn't help but blurted out: "Twist! Twist! Change direction with your wrist at right angles!"

The brawny man didn't think much about it in a hurry, and then he did it, and it really worked!After the point of focus changed direction, the opponent was unprepared, and fell to his side in an instant, and the situation was suddenly reversed. The patrolmen who had given up supporting the strong man began to cheer him up again. No one cared about Qin Xiaoman's why will appear here.And only the strong man's opponent cast a cold glance at Qin Xiaoman, then bared his teeth and suddenly shouted at the strong man: "There are cockroaches!"

The strong man was quite frightened by this sound, obviously very frightened.Distracted for a moment, the police detective took advantage of the situation and crushed him tightly.Immediately, the patrolling police officers behind him cheered together.

"Brother Ye is amazing..."

"Let me just say that in this arresting room, no one is Ye Ge's opponent!"

Seeing this scene, Xiaoman cast a contemptuous glance at the intoxicated winner with his hands raised high, then turned his gaze to the strong man who was shaking off his clothes, and shook his head helplessly: "Oh, I will lose."

At this time, the police detective surnamed Ye walked up to Qin Xiaoman, shook the collar of the leather jacket vigorously, raised his chin and said, "Who are you?"

Seeing this person's expression, Xiaoman held her head high, without any weakness: "I'm here to report."

The police detective surnamed Ye narrowed his eyes with disdain: "Oh——, I've heard that a female police detective is coming to the patrol room, isn't it you?"

Seeing that this person still knows a thing or two about her, Xiaoman thought that she would respect her senior and get along well in the future, so she politely extended her hand: "My name is Qin Xiaoman, senior, please give me some advice."

Ye then stretched out his hand, but not to take Xiaoman's hand, but pointed to the tip of Xiaoman's nose, moving rhythmically in line with his tone: "Little girl, listen carefully, we don't need a female police detective here because A bunch of reporters are full and have nothing to do, writing articles saying that the Bureau of the Ministry of Industry favors boys over girls, that's why they hired a female police detective like you to show off."

Upon hearing this, Qin Xiaoman glared, leaned forward, and slammed into Ye's finger: "I'm not here to show off, my grades in the police academy are the first in all subjects."

Ye withdrew his hand and showed a sneer: "General subjects, what subjects are there? Wrist-wrestling subjects?"

Qin Xiaoman sneered back, then looked at Ye, and gently shook his head towards the table beside him.
