Chapter 67 Yan Chen is Satisfied +9 (7k for Monthly Tickets!)

Hearing Yan Chen's inquiry, Jia Shu obviously hesitated for a moment.

He adjusted the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, then said somewhat ambiguously,

"Bureau Chief, I think... how that woman died isn't important. What matters is what her death will bring us."

As he said this, he paused before adding, "For example, her death could put many people at ease."

"Despite the Municipal Committee's harsh criticism of our Investigation Bureau, who knows how many members had a good night's sleep last night."

"For our Investigation Bureau, and for you, this is not necessarily a bad thing."

Upon hearing this, Yan Chen fell into deep thought.

After quietly pondering for a while, Yan Chen looked up at Jia Shu, his expression half-smiling, "It seems you have quite a few other thoughts about this case?"

Jia Shu smiled and replied, "Bureau Chief, recent cases have shown me how important a good information surveillance system and a city-wide monitoring network are."

"And... that is something only Vice President Tian's side can accomplish."

Yan Chen once again fell into silence, then tapped his fingers lightly on the armrest of his chair before softly saying, "You make the decision on this matter."

"But we need to close the case. Don't let it become an unsolved mystery."

Jia Shu hurriedly bowed slightly with a radiant smile, "Rest assured, Bureau Chief, I'll handle it."

After finishing this topic, Jia Shu thought today's conversation was over. He straightened his back, ready to take his leave.

But just then, Yan Chen suddenly spoke again.

He slowly asked, "By the way, the team of Political Department Investigators who were sent to the Qin Family the other day, are they still being held?"

Possibly not expecting Yan Chen to bring this up suddenly, Jia Shu was taken aback. Then he nodded, "Yes."

"The team from the Special Service Department has been demoted one rank for their poor performance and sent back to the Special Service Department for retraining."

"As for the team from the Political Department, I thought it'd be good for them to learn a lesson, so they've been kept locked up in the detention room awaiting punishment."

At this, Yan Chen hummed in acknowledgment before saying, "I think that since Qiu Tu is no longer a suspect, we should still cultivate his talents."

"He was in charge of that operation and is now the Deputy Head of the Interrogation Section. Let him be responsible for the review and punishment of this team."

Hearing Yan Chen's words, Jia Shu was stunned for a second, then looked at Yan Chen.

Yan Chen's gaze was as still as an ancient well, as if it were just another ordinary arrangement.

Seeing this, Jia Shu's face also immediately displayed a brilliant smile, "Understood, Bureau Chief."

A slight smile appeared on Yan Chen's face as he then picked up the teacup from the table and took a sip.

Seeing this, Jia Shu also wisely retreated to the office door, then turned and left...

Meanwhile.

Qiu Tu, who was eating soup dumplings with Shen Lingshuang, suddenly saw two prompts flash before his eyes.

[Yan Chen Suspicion -4, Satisfaction +9]

[Jia Shu Suspicion -0, Satisfaction +0]

Qiu Tu, who was biting into a dumpling, briefly froze in his actions, and a question mark slowly appeared over his head: ?

Then... he was completely baffled.

...

Shen Lingshuang was indeed a good girl.

Though somewhat haughty, she was very good at taking care of others, and... she was also diligent.

While Qiu Tu was in bed checking the rewards from last night's "Loyalty Game," she had "pitter-pattered" into the bathroom, pulled up her pants after, and "clomp clomp clomp" went downstairs.

By the time Qiu Tu had examined his "Loyalty Game" reward and was analyzing information, she had "clomp clomp clomp" come back upstairs with two baskets of soup dumplings, calling Qiu Tu to eat.

After eating Shen Lingshuang's dumplings, Qiu Tu washed up briefly, then, with the girl's help, dressed in his uniform, armed himself, and set off for work.

The two had an unspoken understanding: one did not ask why you didn't leave, and the other did not say why she stayed.

It was only during the meal that Shen Lingshuang returned all the money Qiu Tu had given her the night before.

Qiu Tu silently pocketed the money, and that was the end of it.

Before leaving the house, Qiu Tu also gave Shen Lingshuang two reminders.

The first was to be careful on her own at home and to go directly to the Old Alley Street Public Security Office for help if there were any problems. He had already informed the "Monkey."

The second was... to stop burning paper offerings and hanging his portrait! He did not want to see such "surprises" a second time!

Hearing Qiu Tu's blunt criticism, Shen Lingshuang's face showed defiance, her pursed lips almost able to hang an oil pot.

Even after Qiu Tu's scolding, she still muttered under her breath behind him:

"It's still because you didn't come home all night." "Who is a good person and doesn't come home for a whole night?" "Must be hooking up with some woman out there," and other nonsensical mutterings.

Qiu Tu paid no mind, turned around and gave her a flick on the head, knocking some sense into her, before heading downstairs to drive to work.

However, after sitting in the car, Qiu Tu did not start it right away, but instead reviewed the two prompts he had received while eating the dumplings:

[Yan Chen Suspicion -4, Satisfaction +9]

[Jia Shu Suspicion -0, Satisfaction +0]

At that moment, Qiu Tu was genuinely puzzled.

Because he was truly just simply having breakfast and hadn't done anything else.

Why Yan Chen decreased his suspicion and increased his satisfaction towards him was a complete mystery to him.

So, at that time, he said nothing and just quietly finished the meal with Shen Lingshuang.
