Genius Detective - Chapter 46

Chapter 46: 46

Seeing that Chen Shi didn’t answer, Lin Dongxue further prompted, “What special day is today? Did you have a friend who died today?”

“Let me keep a little privacy . ” Chen Shi regained his usual expression .

The two watched a variety show for a while . Lin Dongxue said, “Oh hey, have you heard of Song Lang?”

Chen Shi, who was cutting an apple, paused and asked, “Your ex-boyfriend?”

“Go die! This person is a genius detective . I heard that he is particularly powerful . There is no unsolvable case if it is overseen by him . I think if you are a person in Long'An City, you should have heard of him!”

“No, I only came here two years ago . ”

“Oh, I can’t tell by your accent . ”

“I learned quickly . I chat all day with the passengers, so I gradually changed my accent . . . Why did you suddenly ask me this?”

“Nothing, really . I just heard about it from my brother a few days ago, and I just suddenly thought about it, that’s all . ”

On the TV, the advertisement was broadcasting . Lin Dongxue got up and packed the dishes . She was a little hesitant in her heart .  Should I chase him away? But looking at him, it seems he just wants to stay here for a while without any ulterior motives .  

Hesitant for a long time, she finally said, “I have to take a shower . ”

“Oh! Then you go . ” Chen Shi's eyes stared at the TV and replied casually .

Lin Dongxue was so angry in her heart .  Is this person pretending to be stupid? Wasn’t it a very obvious way to get rid of him?

She went into the bathroom, locked the door and started taking a shower . She kept an ear out to listen out for any motions happening outside . Her heart was a little uneasy . At the end of the day, there was a man in her house .  

At this time, she heard the sound of water as well as pots and pans .

She was very curious and wanted to open the door a little to see what the guy was up to, but she held herself back .

After the shower, she came out to no one in the room . Lin Dongxue found that the dishes in the kitchen had been cleaned and inserted on the shelf . The TV in the living room was still on . There was a plate of peeled apples on the coffee table . Next to it, there was a note that read, “I am leaving . Take an early rest . I’ll see you tomorrow!”

Lin Dongxue smiled, picked up a slice of apple and put it in her mouth .

The next morning, the three people met at the station . Chen Shi was back to his usual vibrant look, carrying a bag of breakfast in his hand . Xu Xiaodong said, “Hey, brother Chen, are you treating us to breakfast?”

“Sorry, this is not for you . ”

“Surely you didn’t buy it for Captain Peng again?” Lin Dongxue said .

“If I’m asking for something of someone, of course I have to bring some goods!”

“Psh, you only know to buy it for him, never buying anything for us . We count as temporary partners!” Lin Dongxue said unhappily .

“Okay, okay, I’ll treat you guys later . ”

As he said this, Chen Shi arrived at the forensics department . As soon as he entered the room, he saw several researchers lying on the tables and chairs sleeping soundly . The paper basket at the foot of Peng Sijue’s feet were full of used coffee cups . It seems that they had pulled another all-nighter . Lin Dongxue couldn’t help but think that Captain Peng was too strong being able to pull two all-nighters in a row .

Hearing the footsteps, Peng Sijue turned around in his chair . His eyes were surrounded by two dark circles and his skin color was paler than usual . He said, “You guys sure are running around a lot!”

“I want to ask for a favor . I want to borrow something . ” Chen Shi said as he put the breakfast on the table .

Peng Sijue glanced at the things in the bag and sneered . “I knew that you wouldn’t visit the Sanbao Temple unless you wanted something . When you have a use for me, you always try to act nice and all . ”

“You make me sound so shallow . How about I buy you breakfast every day? I pass by here every time I start my orders for the day anyway . ”

“Save the act . Don’t appear in front of me all the time . . . What do you want to borrow?”

“I need a set of equipment for investigating blood stains . ”

This time, Peng Sijue was surprisingly accepting of the request . He stood up and went to the back room, and then came back carrying a silver-white forensic investigation box and said, “Do you know how to use it?”

“You teach me!” Chen Shi smiled .

“Xiaodong should understand this, you ask him to teach you . Don't break it, come back after you finish work . ”

“Thanks . ”

Chen Shi took the investigation box and said his goodbyes . Lin Dongxue said on the way out, “You seem to have a pretty good relationship with Captain Peng now . ”

“This is your illusion . This kind of person is actually very easy to deal with . I think it is much better than your brother . ”

“Hey, why are you saying things to insult my brother all of a sudden?”

“Is this called insulting? I just said that your brother is not very easy to make relations with . ”

Chen Shi fulfilled the promise and treated the two to breakfast . Then, they drove to Kang Xing Electronics Company . On the way, he circled around and parked next to a car . The driver in the car had a bald head . He complained, “Why were you so slow? I missed three orders because of this, ya know?”

“Sorry, I’ll shout you drinks later . ”

“This is the stuff you wanted!”

The bald man handed over a paper bag and drove away . Lin Dongxue curiously extended her head to peek . “What is this?”

“Secret weapon!” Chen Shi had a mysterious smile .

They went to Kang Xing Electronics Company and stood at the foot of the building . Chen Shi said to Xu Xiaodong, “Xiaodong, I’ll give you a task . You turn your phone to vibrate . Later, I will give you a look and you will have to leave immediately . Try to not let people see you and go to the security department to draw the attention of the people inside . ”

“Are we doing a bad thing?” Xu Xiaodong asked .

“You’re thinking too much . We are just looking for evidence . I noticed that there was security monitoring yesterday . It is not good to be seen by people . You can help me to take care of the security guards until I call you . Then, your job is done . ”

“Yes sir!” Xu Xiaodong saluted .

The three people walked into the company and found that there was no one at the front desk . There were various voices coming from a room in the corridor . Although they couldn’t hear what was being said, but the tone was like that of a headmaster telling off the students .

“Perfect timing, they are in their morning meeting . ” Chen Shi said, “Go, let’s go! Xiaodong . . . ”

Xu Xiaodong understood and left immediately to go to the security room .  

Chen Shi and Lin Dongxue quietly went outside the door, which was left slightly ajar . Chen Shi pushed it open a little and saw a row of employees standing with their hands on their backs . The fat manager walked around saying his speech .

“ . . . Don't always think about what the company can do for you, think about what you can do for the company! You are part of the company, you should have a sense of collective honor and teamwork . Don't think about the immediate benefits, that is short-sighted . You came here to create a career, do you understand?”

“Full of useless quotes!” Lin Dongxue reproved .

After the manager ended his long speech, he asked the employees to memorize several classic sales quotes . The scene was like military training, full of the smell of chicken blood .

Then the manager said, “Okay, today's morning meeting is over . ”

“Hurry to withdraw!” Lin Dongxue tugged Chen Shi's sleeves .

“Wait . ”

The employees did not leave immediately . They saw the female employees standing in a row one by one . They looked like they were very embarrassed, while others wore numb expressions .

The female employees passed by the fat manager one by one and kissed him . Lin Dongxue was so scared that she put her hand over her mouth . What kind of ceremony was this?!

The fat manager seemed to enjoy the process very much . Every time he kissed a female employee, he nodded . When a few pretty female employees walked by him, he squeezed or pinched their buttocks .

When encountering a female employee who just did it quickly to get it over and done with, he would order the other party to come back and re-complete this “ceremony” of theirs .

The male staff next to them mostly dipped their heads low, seemingly reluctant to see this scene .

“What a good embodiment of wolf-like culture . Pretending that the company is his own small kingdom . The employees are all domesticated into slaves . ” Chen Shi smiled bitterly .
