The proprietress couldn't figure out the situation, after all, she dealt a lot with the staff in the village.

As for the police station, I am only familiar with the station leaders and veteran police officers in a few jurisdictions.

As for the little girl in front of me, I have seen her several times in the countryside.

All I know is that she just graduated from university and joined the police force not long ago, and there are quite a few boys pursuing her.

However, the other party did not come to the restaurant to eat and rarely participated in social activities in the village, so the proprietress did not have much contact with him.

Seeing Ding Jintian's domineering attitude, which obviously seemed like she was here to cause trouble, the proprietress couldn't help but frown.

Who is this girl and why is she so arrogant?

Doesn't she know who owns this restaurant?

You can open such a big restaurant in the village and make the business prosperous. Do you really think that you, a small policeman, can find fault with it?

Worried that the boss lady wouldn't be able to tell the difference between the serious and the serious, the police station lady hurriedly pulled her aside and said, "Sister Xu, who is this girl... I'm afraid you don't know?"

The lady boss, known as Sister Xu, shook her head and said, "I know. I've met the young police officers in your station a few times."

"I heard that Liu Hongyu pursued him before."

"what happened?"

It was obvious that the proprietress didn't take Ding Jintian seriously.

She is beautiful, but she definitely has no family background.

If he really had the ability, how could he be assigned to the township police station?

Since she was able to afford the hospitality provided by the village government, she must have the capital.

This little girl is a bit blind to come here to cause trouble!

The older woman at the police station lowered her voice and reminded him, "Ding Jintian, she's the star of our police station's farewell banquet today."

"Today is her last day at the station. Next week, she will report to the Commission for Discipline Inspection and Supervision."

The proprietress was obviously surprised. She didn't expect that this little girl would be the protagonist of tonight!

Worried that the boss lady didn't understand, the police station's older sister said again, "Her aunt is the star prosecutor of Jiangnan District, Gao He."

"He is highly regarded by his superiors. All cases sent to him by the provincial government are personally supervised by this senior prosecutor."

"Last year, several department-level officials in the city were dismissed, all at the hands of this senior prosecutor."

"Also, Chief Prosecutor Gao is personally overseeing the case of Liu Guozhong from our village!"

"You may not be afraid of her, but your relative in the village would never dare to offend the Chief Prosecutor!"

Hearing this, the proprietress's expression finally changed.

Liu Guozhong?

Although Liu Guozhong is dead, there is still some connection between Hongyun Restaurant and Liu Guozhong.

For example, part of the annual government reception funds was paid into Liu Guozhong's account in the form of rebates.

If Liu Guozhong is investigated, their hotel will also suffer, and they will probably not be able to escape the charge of illegal banquets and entertainment.

Fortunately, Liu Guozhong's mysterious drowning death made many people in the village breathe a sigh of relief.

I didn't expect that the little girl in front of me had such a great background!

Thinking of this, the proprietress cast a grateful look and said, "Thank you for the reminder. I will thank you later."

"Don't worry, I'll go and fix the relationship right away!"

Coming to Ding Jintian, the proprietress said in a slightly flattering tone, "Officer Ding, congratulations."

"Actually, I've seen you before in the countryside, and I knew back then that Officer Ding must be someone special."

"Why, I actually guessed it right!"

"There are so many young people in our village, but only a few can be transferred back to the city."

"After the dinner is over, I will personally prepare a promotion gift for you. Don't refuse it."

Ding Jintian, of course, knew why the other party's attitude had changed. She said in a businesslike tone, "Boss, isn't this inappropriate?"

The proprietress smiled even brighter. "What's inappropriate about that? The reason our restaurant has been able to thrive is all thanks to your care."

"Especially the comrades in our police station. The security in the village is so good that I can open my business with peace of mind."

"Officer Xiao Ding is about to be transferred, and this is a token of our gratitude from the villagers."

Ding Jintian said, "Thank you, Madam Boss. In that case, I will accept this gift on behalf of all the colleagues in the institute."

"Also, reporters from the province will be attending tonight's dinner, so I might need to conduct a more detailed inspection. I'll need your cooperation."

The boss lady's attitude immediately changed, "Cooperate, cooperate, of course I have to cooperate!"

"Officer Xiao Ding, feel free to inspect anything you want. Tell me if anything is unsatisfactory and I'll have them correct it right away!"

With the boss lady's words, Ding Jintian's subsequent examination went much more smoothly.

Under the pretext of checking hygiene, he searched the restaurant from top to bottom, even the kitchen.

Unfortunately, after searching a whole circle, we still found nothing!

At the same time, Xiao Yuqing's interview team also returned to the village smoothly.

The township immediately sent staff to assist in the reception and took Xiao Yuqing and his party on a visit to the township.

Once you get to the countryside, you don't need Li Dong to be with you all the time.

Yang Zhenhua had been on high alert for a long time. He had changed into a clean police uniform in advance and looked into the camera lens from time to time.

At this time, Li Dong also took the opportunity to withdraw and found Ding Jintian who had rushed back to the institute.

When no one was around, Li Dong asked, "How is it?"

Ding Jintian shook her head and said solemnly, "I searched everywhere in the hotel, but found nothing!"

Li Dong was also a little stunned. Didn’t he notice?

Could it be that I guessed wrong before, and this killer didn't plan to take action at the banquet?

Seeing that Li Dong didn't say anything, Ding Jintian said again: "Maybe I missed it."

"How about...I go check it out again?"

Li Dong shook his head, "Forget it, no need."

"If you go back now, it will easily arouse other people's suspicion. It's too risky."

"Besides, I don't think it's likely that you missed something during your inspection."

"There are only two possibilities now. Either the killer has no intention of taking revenge on me in this way, or he hasn't started preparing to act yet."

Ding Jintian understood, "You mean... wait until night?"

Li Dong nodded, "This is the only way for now!"

While they were communicating, Yang Zhenhua came back from outside.

Seeing Ding Jintian present, he didn't say much, just smiled and said, "Xiao Li, if you're not busy for a while, come to my office and sit down."

Li Dong gave Ding Jintian a look, then turned around and knocked on Yang Zhenhua's office door.

After entering, Yang Zhenhua stood up and greeted him enthusiastically, "Xiao Li is here, come and sit down."

After Li Dong sat down, Yang Zhenhua took the initiative to pour him a cup of hot tea and asked, "How was your interview this afternoon? Did it go well?"

"But I heard that the people of Hexi Village responded very well to you. The villagers were reluctant to say goodbye to you and even held a grand farewell party for you."

"This scene was captured by a reporter from the provincial TV station. It should be very helpful to you personally, right?"
