Chapter 9 [009] Beer, fried chicken, and a beautiful wife?
Chief Inspector Mu Yue looked up at the tall gates, long tiles, and deep courtyards of the Night Dragon Society headquarters. In the sunlight near noon, the dark circles under his eyes looked even darker.
When someone was killed in the inner city, the case had to be reported. Then, I was pestered by the Crime Fighters reporter who came to my house for a long time, and in the end, I only had four hours to sleep.
Nothing good has happened since I met Qin Jiandan!
The three characters "Yelonghui" on the wooden plaque above the main entrance are said to be written by the current president Qin Qi himself. They are so powerful that it seems as if these three characters alone can scare away millions of soldiers.
The small sign on the side of the main entrance that reads "Dogs and English not allowed" fully expresses the hostility towards the Nyan Society.
The policewoman refused to be accompanied by her close friend and insisted on coming alone, simply because the matter was too embarrassing and she didn't want to be watched by people she knew.
"Xiao Muyue, calm down! Have you forgotten how the last special police chief died? I don't want you to be disemboweled and hung on a pedestrian overpass!"
In response to his close friend's advice, Sheriff Mu Yue explained: "The Night Dragon Society is not as crazy as the Nian Society, and they are more cautious when dealing with the police. Even the feared "God of Killing Qin Qi" would not kill a sheriff in front of the headquarters in broad daylight."
There was another reason that the policewoman did not tell her close friend, which was that she felt that although Qin Jiandan had a fierce look and a fierce mouth, he did not seem to be an unforgivable villain and there was a kind side in his heart.
"If such a person becomes the young master, what kind of changes will it bring to the Night Dragon Society? It would be great if the violent conflicts in Ringstone City could be reduced and innocent citizens no longer have to worry about losing their lives at any time..."
Chief Inspector Mu Yue's expectations were partially realized. After parking the car in front of the Night Dragon Society headquarters, although four guards in kung fu uniforms immediately surrounded him, they did not do anything more excessive except speaking impolitely.
After Chief Inspector Mu Yue explained their purpose, they even allowed the policewoman to use the landline at the door to make contact.
Did Qin Jiandan greet his men, or was it just because I was the police chief?
The "creaking" sound of the heavy door opening interrupted his thoughts. Qin Jiandan came down directly from the conference room without wearing a jacket. His muscles under the black short-sleeved tights were full of masculine power.
"It's really you, Sheriff. Did you not get enough rest last night because you missed me so much that you couldn't sleep? What do you want to talk to me about?"
With his hands in his trouser pockets, Qin Jiandan spoke in a joking tone. Although the guards on both sides were curious about the relationship between the young master and the policewoman, they did not dare to get too close because of their low status.
To Qin Jiandan's surprise, as soon as the policewoman saw him, she took off the walkie-talkie with a recorder function hanging on her shoulder, held it up high and scanned Qin Jiandan's face.
Qin Jiandan's resident information soon appeared on the small LCD screen, showing words such as "Resident Number D465453354CA" and "Single" in bright green font.
"Damn, are you here to check the household registration?" Qin Jiandan didn't understand what she meant, but he couldn't let the female policeman control him in front of the guards, so he had to say a few words to highlight his status as the young master.
Besides, is my resident information so annoying? Why are you frowning like that?
"Tsk, why aren't you wearing a skirt today? And stockings and high heels?"
"That's the dress for the internal cocktail party. This is the daily duty uniform! I'm not here to date you!"
As if realizing that he had said something wrong, Inspector Mu Yue straightened his police hat and tried his best to hide his face in the shadow of the brim.
Qin Jiandan looked at the policewoman with interest: her short skirt and stockings were replaced with long pants, but her tight legs were still attractive. Her high heels were replaced with police training shoes that were convenient for running, which was more in line with the awe-inspiring righteousness she exuded at all times.
"Anyway, don't just stand there like an idiot. Come with me to eat something." Qin Jiandan vaguely felt that the policewoman wanted something from him, so he simply took the initiative.
Sheriff Mu Yue said nothing and nodded in agreement. After they left, the four guards were very troubled by the police car that was parked in the wrong place, but they did not dare to move it.
Qin Jiandan quickly took the policewoman to a fried chicken shop closest to the headquarters. During the process, the policewoman followed Qin Jiandan one meter behind him. She looked dejected but had to follow him, as if she was the one being arrested.
"Okay, this is the 'Lao Wang Fried Chicken Shop'! It uses 100% chicken cell animal mud and is the best fried chicken in the outer 3 districts! The first choice for fried chicken lovers!"
As soon as he entered the familiar fried chicken shop, Qin Jiandan instantly forgot his identity as a young master and temporarily turned back into the young man who lived a life of ease and enjoyment eating fried chicken.
The owner, Lao Wang, was a middle-aged man who only knew how to make fried chicken. He didn't know that Qin Jiandan's current identity was different, and he still came over to greet him warmly as usual.
"Jiandan, you're here? This is hot fried chicken right out of the pan. How much do you want this time?"
Although he had already seen the dilapidated state of the outer city, Chief Inspector Mu Yue was still a little shocked that the young master of the Yelong Society would actually come to such a simple restaurant to eat.
This shop doesn’t even have a wall, it can only be regarded as a roadside stall in the ruins! The so-called “Lao Wang Fried Chicken Shop” only has three simple stoves filled with low-quality fuel coal, six sets of foldable metal tables and chairs, and a sunshade and rainproof tent made of artificial leather and plastic cloth…
The policewoman sat politely on a relatively clean metal chair, took off her police hat and put it aside, revealing her long, smooth black hair.
At such a close distance, Qin Jiandan still found it hard to believe that the policewoman's right eye was a prosthetic. This must have been made with the "fully intelligent dynamic adaptive biochemical parts" that Dr. Li mentioned, which the company did not disclose to the public. Compared with Brother Huchi's crudely assembled right arm, this eye has entered the realm of perfect art, and even the bloodshot caused by staying up late is exactly the same as the left eye. Because it is difficult to distinguish, Qin Jiandan sometimes forgets which eye of the policewoman is the prosthetic eye.
I wonder if the company has any other hidden technologies. It would be great if I could replace my sister's diseased leg with a prosthesis that looks no different from a human body...
Qin Jiandan thought about it a little and quickly placed the order: "Two large fried chicken sets! And two large glasses of beer. It's a bit hot at noon, so I want them iced!"
Sheriff Mu Yue declined, saying, "I don't drink."
Qin Jiandan's expression was so exaggerated as if he had heard something out of the ordinary.
"Huh? Weren't you very drunk last night?" "That's because I had to drink a little with my boss at my promotion party. Actually, I hate drinking."
Lao Wang came out to smooth things over: "There are other drinks in the shop. Miss City Police, just tell me what you want to drink."
It is not uncommon for city police to enter the outer city area to investigate cases. Lao Wang’s store has received city police before, and he is quite confident in his fried chicken.
The wrinkles on the shop owner's forehead and his slightly humble look made Sheriff Mu Yue feel a little uncomfortable.
"Soda will do. Ice-cold soda will be even better."
"Okay! Two large fried chickens, a large cold beer, and a bottle of cold soda! Coming right up!"
The owner went to work at the simple stove, directing the waiter to do this and that. It was a busy and fulfilling life.
The beer and soda arrived first. Qin Jiandan took a sip of beer and was a little surprised to find that the female police officer opposite had already finished half of the soda.
"You drank it without hesitation... You came from the inner city, aren't you afraid that the food and water in the outer city might be poisonous?"
The policewoman held the soda bottle in her hand and felt the cool temperature, demonstrating with her actions that soda is soda, and even soda from the outer city is better than wine from the inner city.
"Humph, my pistol uses phlogiston gunpowder, which produces a trace amount of toxicity after firing. If I were afraid of even this, I wouldn't be a city policeman."
The hot fried chicken was delivered quickly. Lao Wang valued loyal customers like Qin Jiandan and personally brought it over for the two to enjoy.
Qin Jiandan took a big bite of the fried chicken as if to avenge himself. The freshly fried chicken skin was his favorite - although it was not real chicken but chicken cell animal mud simulated by special techniques, Lao Wang's cooking skills were just too good!
Compared to Qin Jiandan's way of eating fried chicken with hot oil all over the place, the policewoman first lifted her long hair behind her ears before eating the fried chicken to prevent it from falling and contaminating the food. She also wrapped the fried chicken with her own facial tissue to prevent her fingers from getting greasy, and ate it in small bites.
Qin Jiandan had never seen a girl eat fried chicken so elegantly from a close distance. In the past, he had only seen his sister eat buns carelessly...
His heart suddenly tightened.
Oops! I was in such a hurry to come back from the inner city last night that I forgot to bring some inner city buns for my sister!
"Is this... is this really animal mud?" The policewoman exclaimed sincerely after taking a few bites. "Although I'm not an avid fried chicken fan, this is no different from the fried chicken in the inner city, right?"
"Hahaha, I'm glad Miss City Police likes it. It's an honor for our shop."
The shop owner, Lao Wang, was smiling happily when he passed by. Although he had been bent over by heavy work for many years, he also had his own pride.
"..."
In fact, Qin Jiandan invited the policewoman to dinner in the outer city, which seemed like he was deliberately looking for trouble.
I just became the young master and you parked the police car in front of the Night Dragon Club. Do you think I don't care about my reputation? You were born in the inner city and have been living a life of luxury, right? I'll treat you to the coarse food from the outer city! Can't swallow it? You have to swallow it even if you can't! Anyway, it seems like you want me to do something for you, so how can I do that without paying a price?
However, the policewoman drank the soda faster than she drank the beer, and she also said something that didn't seem hypocritical in praising the fried chicken... Could it be that she was quite satisfied with this lunch?
"Tell me, why did you come to the outer city? You can't really want to arrest me, right?"
The originally good atmosphere of the date suddenly turned cold. The policewoman put down the fried chicken that she had only eaten a quarter of, and supported her hands on her knees, showing some awkwardness and nervousness that was not in line with professionalism.
"I, I don't know what happened. Anyway, my situation is very strange now, and the company won't help me solve it..."
The policewoman suddenly brought up the topic of Junlin’s company, which was at the top of Huanshi City, and Qin Jiandan was confused.
"This may seem trivial to you, but it was very embarrassing for me. It caused me a lot of trouble... Not only did my best friends laugh at me, but some of my colleagues also talked about me behind my back..."
Huh? I don't care if your bestie and coworkers make fun of you!
"So, I came to see you because I hope you can go to the inner city as low-key as possible and follow me..."
The policewoman blushed and could not continue speaking. Her trembling hands created vortices on the tight trouser line at her knees.
Qin Jiandan thought that Chief Inspector Mu Yue wanted to say "cooperate with me". It was reasonable for a new chief inspector and a new young master to cooperate in the inner city and get what they needed.
But if it's just about cooperation, is it necessary to be so excited? In your eyes, I am a mutant giant toad that secretes venom all over my body, and you have to cooperate with me because of the orders of your superiors, but in fact you hate me so much that you want to shoot me immediately?
Qin Jiandan didn't know that the policewoman had just eaten the food from the outer city without any scruples, which was somewhat like a last meal before death.
The fried chicken shop gradually attracted more and more customers. In order to avoid being heard by more people, Sheriff Mu Yue lowered his head and made a gesture of request, and finally shouted out the words full of humiliation and unwillingness in the lowest crying voice possible:
"Please... please divorce me!!"
"what?"
Although he did not realize it, at this moment, Qin Jiandan's three major wishes in life were fulfilled at the same time.
Beer, fried chicken, and a beautiful wife...
