Chapter 30 [006] Take your bestie to have afternoon tea
The police dormitory is quite spacious, with many metal pipes on the ceiling, half thick and half thin. In addition to ventilation, hot air can be pumped in for heating in winter, and cold air can be pumped in in summer, which has the opposite effect of cooling down.
The ducted air conditioners were not activated and were only used for ventilation. Qin Jiandan felt that these large ventilation ducts could be invaded, while the small air conditioning ducts could be used for climbing and hanging...
No, no, why did I subconsciously regard this place as an enemy's lair? I was invited by the sheriff to be a witness today, and I might even go out for a date and have afternoon tea later!
Soon they arrived at the sheriff's room. Qin Jiandan had never seen what a girls' dormitory in the inner city looked like, so she was very curious. She coughed lightly with a sense of ritual before entering the room.
"Qin Jiandan, you're here? Did you run into the sheriff's dad who was yelling outside?"
The white-haired, black-skinned, dog-eared girl, Vale, was talking about everything. It was probably her turn to take a day off, so she was sitting at the head of her bed, constantly reaching for the dog biscuits in the snack bag.
It's really a dog biscuit! The brand is "Woof woof woof dog biscuits". Vale, you are just a dog-eared girl with a limited degree of animalization! You totally think of yourself as a dog!
Unlike Sheriff Mu Yue, Vale does not wear a uniform on his days off. His white T-shirt and denim shorts reveal a large area of his body that is brimming with youthful vitality, reflecting a matte black luster under the fluorescent lights.
The shorts were also designed with the tail showing from the back, and Qin Jiandan was also very curious about the structure at the back of the shorts.
But no matter what, saying "Vale, give me a hand up" is absolutely not allowed, as there is a risk of being shot on the spot by the sheriff.
Ordinary bullets cannot penetrate the "Steel Armor Breathing Technique", but don't we still have high-explosive bullets and the indestructible "moonlight" that shoots out from the right eye?
"I asked Jiandan to come over and sign my report." The sheriff ignored the drunk father's words, "Wale, don't eat on the bed. The table and chairs here are empty."
Vale moved her butt to a nearby chair, and her coffee-white tail kept wagging, showing that she was in a good mood.
"Hey, you guys are already calling each other 'Jian Dan'? Sheriff, you two are pretty close!"
Sheriff Mu Yue called Qin Jiandan to another set of tables and chairs opposite Vale. The table was piled with documents and there were two chairs.
"In Huanshi City, it's normal to omit the last name of the other person. And Jiandan never called me by my full name, so I called him that to be fair."
Qin Jiandan had indeed never called the sheriff "Han Muyue", so when his master asked him "What's the sheriff's last name", he had to recall it.
The sheriff asked Qin Jiandan to sit on a chair and sat next to him. Qin Jiandan used this time to take a look at the furnishings in the dormitory.
It was simpler than I thought... Probably for safety reasons, there were no windows, and ventilation was only through pipes. The pink curtains were definitely gone, the closet door was closed, and there was no lace pajamas inside, and there were no teddy bears or other girly items on the bed...
Qin Jiandan felt that he might have been influenced by his master. He always had a stereotype about women. He felt that even Chief Inspector Mu Yue might wear lace pajamas, hold a teddy bear, and sit in front of pink curtains after returning to the dormitory, talking about the fairy tale of Sleeping Beauty being kissed awake by the prince.
Sheriff Mu Yue and Vale's beds were placed side by side, both were quite spacious. Sheriff's bed was clean and tidy, Vale's was a little messy, but it was understandable, probably the result of Sheriff's usual supervision.
Qin Jiandan didn't notice the hamster cage from before.
"Mu Yue, isn't your hamster cage in the dormitory? I remember it was called "Xiao Tao"? "
Qin Jiandan deliberately omitted the word "Sheriff" at the end, which was also for the sake of fairness.
The sheriff took out the report that needed signature from the desk without looking up.
"I sent Xiaotao back to the pet store, and the owner said he would help it find a good owner."
"Huh?" Qin Jiandan was very puzzled. "Didn't you say that you would treat the hamster as a family member? How can you just send it away like that?"
The sheriff sighed, "I'm too busy to take care of pets. Vale only takes a break occasionally, and she likes to feed pets randomly."
Vallee leaned forward in his seat, crunching his dog biscuit.
It's not just feeding your pets randomly. Aren't you also just stuffing things into your mouth randomly? Dog biscuits are designed for dogs and don't meet the nutritional needs of Furui people!
The sheriff sent the hamster Xiaotao away just like that. There must be something strange about it.
As expected, the hamster is the mind bond of the Sheriff's "Moonlight" power. Is it a prerequisite for using the power? It seems that I plan to buy a hamster next time I want to use "Moonlight".
"How much is a hamster?" Qin Jiandan picked up the "Mrs. Watanabe Incident Investigation Report" pushed over by the police chief and asked casually.
"500 yuan including the cage," the sheriff replied, handing the pen to Qin Jiandan.
"500 yuan!?" Qin Jiandan was shocked. "It's damn expensive! It's enough for the two of us to have 25 meals of beer and fried chicken!"
All non-mutated animals in Ringstone City are bred in the vertical farm of the Central Tower, so it is normal that the price is higher than that of the Earth era.
But a small thing like a hamster also costs 500 yuan, which Qin Jiandan cannot accept. In the outer city, sometimes people are illegally sold to the mines, and they can only earn 500 yuan of dirty money.
Sheriff, I only made 500 bucks selling your drunk dad! Even if I hand it over to you, I can only get a hamster in return!
But the hamster is also your "relative", right? The two relatives exchanged their belongings. And the hamster is also your Moonlight ability "Mind Bound", which is much more useful than your drunk dad who only wants money!
Qin Jiandan complained in his heart while signing the "Investigation Report on Mrs. Watanabe Incident".
There is nothing special to read in the official article. The Police Department does not care what happened in the outer city. Just because the drone bombing that killed Zhao Huoqian happened in the inner city, the mastermind behind it must be held accountable.
After signing the report, Qin Jiandan looked at the sheriff with a somewhat lustful smile.
I couldn't keep a straight face, after all, I had such a dream in the morning.
"Sheriff, that time when you drove me in the police car, I promised to treat you to a meal afterwards. Would you like to come with Vale?" "Sure, sure!" Vale came over happily wagging his tail and threw dog snacks on the chair.
If you invite the sheriff to dinner alone, he might refuse in front of his best friend, but it should be fine if you bring Vale along as well.
And Vale said that he would help him get closer to the sheriff, which is a help! Dogs are man’s best friends, how can you eat without calling them?
The sheriff tried his best to ignore the hot breath coming from Valerie's face and insisted on confirming the signature on the report first.
"Valley and I have already had lunch. If you want to treat us, go to the street and treat us to afternoon tea."
"Afternoon tea is better, it's convenient for chatting!" Qin Jiandan also ate microwave buns at noon and couldn't eat any big meal.
"Yeah! Let's go have afternoon tea! It's free afternoon tea from the sheriff's boyfriend!"
Vale cheered, the sheriff blushed but did not correct her, she stood up and sorted out the documents on the table.
This situation... The police chief is unwilling to admit that I am his husband in the police department, but does the "boyfriend" have no objection? Or is it just because we are in the police dormitory, and arguing loudly with Vale about my identity, that people in other rooms will laugh at me?
This should be considered a three-way date, right? But the sheriff did not change out of his uniform. Compared to his usual duty, he only did not wear his police hat, and he did not even take off the walkie-talkie on his shoulder in case he needed to make an emergency call.
When Vale heard that there would be afternoon tea, she was so eager that she put on her T-shirt and shorts because they were convenient for her to move around in.
Qin Jiandan and two girls were walking on the street. Passersby might think that it was Valei who was dating Qin Jiandan, and the sheriff was Valei's sister, who came to monitor her because she was worried about her sister dating a man.
In Ringstone City, it is not uncommon for humans and the Forui to establish close relationships, but there are also some stubborn conservative forces who strongly oppose it. It is said that there are perverted killers who specialize in hunting down Forui fans.
"The coffee shop is over here."
The sheriff gave directions to Qin Jiandan, who was unfamiliar with the roads in the inner city, and the three of them passed by a large cinema on the street.
The streets are very clean, and the picky Aunt He may have nothing to complain about here. Street lights, fire hydrants and even garbage stations are all maintained in the best condition, which is incomparable to the dirtiness and mess of the outer city.
It's just that most of the pedestrians on the street are silent, lacking the hustle and bustle of the outer city. No wonder, if you accidentally say something bad about the company, you will be reported to the body recycling center.
2 o'clock in the afternoon was a very sleepy time. There were few people at the entrance of the cinema and the ticket seller was trying to stay awake behind the glass window.
"There aren't any good movies. Let's go! Let's go eat something delicious first!"
Seeing Qin Jiandan slow down his pace, Valei eagerly grabbed one of Qin Jiandan's arms. The dog-eared girl was full of energy, but she was also prone to hunger.
"Don't pull it on the street." The sheriff said expressionlessly, "It's only 15 meters away."
Just as Vallee said, there seemed to be no good movies in the cinema. The three huge photos hanging above the ticket window were all personal photos of movie stars and had nothing to do with the content of the movie.
In Huanshi City, only the Roxon Family, one of the three major families, can make movies. Before all movies are launched, they are carefully discussed by the Roxon Family and fully meet the company's requirements.
Most of these movies have little content, and are crudely produced assembly line products to make their male and female artists famous. Because the movies made in Huanshi City are not good, the movies of the Earth Era will be circulated privately. Part of Jiang Chouyun's business is to rent and sell DVDs of Earth movies in the outer city.
Qin Jiandan suddenly saw from the corner of his eye that there was a very short "cat man" walking towards him from behind.
Too, too ridiculous! This is simply the Japanese version of "Puss in Boots"! A cat-shaped Furui is covered with hair. He is not a beast-eared girl but a pure beastman. His gender is unknown, his head is very large, and his ears are even bigger. He is small and wears a plain striped kendo uniform. Two sabers are hung on the same side of his waist, tied with a silk belt, and his furry paws are wearing wooden clogs...
Also, are you serious about the big bow on the back of your kendo uniform? Whose child is this, playing cosplay? Did he come to the sheriff to cry because he couldn't find his home?
Qin Jiandan immediately couldn't help grabbing the ear of the short cat-man with lightning speed!
"Wahahaha! Sheriff, Vale, look what I caught? This must be a lost child. Let's go to the coffee shop and buy some dried fish to feed him!"
The sheriff and Vale turned around at the same time, and their faces changed.
Chief Inspector Mu Yue was a little confused and a little blaming: "Grandma Qianxing, why did you follow me?"
Vale's teeth chattered like a dog seeing a cat (?): "Instructor! I didn't make any mistakes, and I've already graduated from the special training base!"
Qin Jiandan was still holding the cat-man's ears. When he got closer, he found that the edges of the cat's big eyes were slightly cloudy, and the ends of its whiskers had turned white. It seemed to be an old cat.
The cat-woman, whom the sheriff called "Grandma Thousand Stars", moved her furry right paw towards the hilt of the knife at an extremely fast speed!
"You rude boy, grabbing a Fury man's ears casually is an insult, don't you know that?"
"Since you want to treat me to dried fish, I will only leave one of your hands today!"
Qin Jiandan immediately used the "Steel Armor Breathing Technique".
