Reborn in 1995, Criminal Investigation Records

Chapter 23 Application for Regular Employment

"Uncle Zhou Yang, what are you thinking about?" The girl in the school uniform was named Geng Yan.

"It's nothing. By the way, is this your own clothing? Why is it so big?" Zhou Yang shook his head, wondering what the identity of the old man known as Engineer Chu really was.

He was impeccably dressed, had good financial means, and had already dialed the city bureau's number before I even opened my mouth.

Such a person is definitely not an ordinary person.

"Of course this is mine, I deliberately wanted it this big!" Geng Yan raised his arm and pulled his thin arm out of his sleeve.

"Uncle Zhou Yang, look!" Geng Yan said, pulling the zipper of his school uniform all the way down with a "rip," and then taking out two folded four-cornered pieces from his schoolbag.

One was placed at the foot of the foot, and the other was held with the corner of the clothes, and then the person squatted down on the ground.

The four-horned creature on the ground was instantly blown away and landed not far away.

Next, she demonstrated the technique of tilting her body to the side and fanning herself with her sleeve.

"So, that's why you need a large size for your school uniform?" Zhou Yang touched his nose, both amused and exasperated.

"Yes, the same price, but the larger one uses more fabric!" The girl nodded.

When Zhou Yang returned home, his parents had already left.

My parents were both employees of a supply and marketing cooperative. After they were laid off, my mother couldn't stay idle. She took over the stockpiled goods that were used to offset her wages at her workplace and also bought up the inventory from several former colleagues. She then rented a place on the street and opened a small shop.

His father got up even earlier than him. The fish had been rotting all night, and he probably couldn't stay in bed before dawn, so he simply grabbed the fishing gear and went out, along with the fish basket and landing net that Zhou Yang had specifically told him to bring the night before.

"You sit here and eat something first. I'll take a shower and change my clothes, it'll be quick!" Zhou Yang removed the food covers from the dishes, made room for Geng Yan, and then went into the bathroom.

About seven or eight minutes later, when he came out with wet hair, he found the girl sitting on a chair waiting for him with her schoolbag in her arms, and the food cover was put back on.

"Why haven't you eaten?" Zhou Yang asked, wiping himself haphazardly with a towel before approaching the table.

"Mom said we should be polite. If we come to the host's house and you're not here, and I eat by myself, that would be considered ill-mannered!" Geng Yan blinked her big eyes and looked at Zhou Yang seriously as she answered.

"Good, good, good, you're such a polite little girl!" Zhou Yang praised. "Shall we begin?"

"Hmm, I'm so full!" Geng Yan said, then got up and took the dishes to the kitchen to wash up, refusing Zhou Yang's offer of help.

This girl is so sensible!

Whether it was paying the phone bill for the old man surnamed Chu in the morning, or waiting for him to eat and wash up afterward, Zhou Yang saw it all. Compared to the other man, he felt ashamed.

After everything was settled, Zhou Yang rode his bicycle, carrying Geng Yan, to the Municipal Bureau.

"Uncle Zhou Yang, are bad guys afraid of the police?" Geng Yan sat with his legs dangling on either side, one hand holding onto the car seat and the other gripping the back seat.

"What?" Zhou Yang was pedaling hard in front and didn't hear the voice behind him.

"It's nothing!" Geng Yan replied loudly, then gritted her teeth and reached out to grab Zhou Yang's clothes, as if that would give her some courage.

"Hold on tight!" Zhou Yang shouted, then stood up and began to exert force with his legs, significantly increasing his speed.

It's been so many years since I've felt this youthful spirit. Although the streets are less bustling with traffic than in later years, this simplicity and unpretentiousness makes it all the more memorable.

The journey, which usually takes about 20 minutes, was completed in 13 or 14 minutes with a sudden screech of the handbrake.

"Hey, Detective Zhou, why did you bring such a cute little sister to work?" Fang Duo was just watering the yard with a green cat-shaped spray bottle when she saw Zhou Yang and couldn't help but tease him.

"Sister Duoduo, you've been corrupted by them too!" Zhou Yang rolled his eyes helplessly.

He then explained the situation to the other party, and then slapped his forehead: "Geng Yan, where are you from? What are your parents' names?"

After the girl got out of the car, she just tugged at Zhou Yang's clothes and hid behind him without saying a word.

Zhou Yang chuckled and pulled the other person out from behind: "Geng Yan, this is Uncle Zhou Yang's colleague. You can call him Sister Duoduo. Please take a statement from him first..."

"So I haven't done anything, but I've already lost my seniority!" Duoduo glared angrily at Zhou Yang, shoving the water bottle in her hand into his hand: "Sprinkle some on the ground, otherwise that idiot Chaozi will sweep it so badly that you won't be able to see people's faces..."

"Uncle Zhou Yang is just praising Sister Duo Duo for looking young!" Geng Yan mustered her courage, stepped forward, and explained on Zhou Yang's behalf.

Fang Duo couldn't help but smile: "Okay, okay, I was just kidding. Let's go inside and answer a few questions..."

As he spoke, he pulled Geng Yan, who kept turning back to look at him, away.

In general, the procedure for missing persons cases like this is for a female police officer or an older, kind, and patient officer to register the case and take a statement. Zhou Yang's age is indeed somewhat inappropriate.

During this time, Zhou Yang witnessed Wang Chao's talent firsthand. He wielded a broom with such force that the view from one end of the yard to the other was completely obscured. This was only because the water had been dispersed beforehand; otherwise, things would have been unpredictable.

Looking at the layer of dust on his hair, Zhou Yang knew that he had washed his hair for nothing this morning.

"Brother Chao, I'm just saying, could you please not be so martial arts-like next time..." Zhou Yang said as he washed his face, the snot coming out of his nose turning black.

Wang Chao just chuckled.

"Zhou Yang, where's that kid Zhou Yang? Has he arrived yet?" The two exchanged a glance. In the entire bureau, only Liu Chengyu had such a loud voice.

In the main office area, Zhou Yang, Wang Chao, Xiao Jiale, Dai Yan, and even Fang Duo, who had just returned and was exchanging glances with Zhou Yang, all sat up straight in their chairs.

Looking at his several formidable subordinates, Liu Chengyu's lips unconsciously curled into a smile: "Regarding the Deng Fangfang case of July 7.1st, the facts have been clarified, the evidence has been confirmed, the legal procedures have been completed, and the indictment has also passed internal approval..."

Upon hearing this, everyone, including Zhou Yang, clenched their fists slightly. He knew exactly what this meant.

"The case file will be sent to the procuratorate this afternoon. Our team's work is officially closed now!" Liu Chengyu said, and then led the applause.

Zhou Yang and the others clapped along. Occasionally, people from other teams passing by on their way to work would see this scene and smile knowingly. Only those who have worked in this line of work know that such dedication deserves no amount of applause.

"Tonight, let's have a good meal at Ding's Food Stall. Nothing can go wrong!" After Liu Chengyu finished speaking, the office erupted in thunderous cheers again.

It's not that everyone particularly enjoys the food, but rather that they can finally clear their minds, stop thinking about cases, victims, suspects, and avoid investigations, visits, and overtime work...

"Sister Duoduo!" Zhou Yang came to Fang Duo's side, who was organizing the documents.

"You want to ask about that little girl named Geng Yan, right?" Fang Duo stuffed the documents into a file folder, wrapped it twice, and put it in the drawer. "I've already checked with my colleague in the household registration department, and then notified the police at the local police station. They should be here soon!"

"Oh! Okay!" Zhou Yang breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.

In the afternoon, the first team finished their shift on time, which was rare for them. As soon as it was time, Wang Chao drove Liu Chengyu ahead to order food.

"I propose that we first toast our number one hero!" Liu Chengyu said, raising the teacup in his hand.

In 95, after get off work, people were encouraged to wear civilian clothes and not drink alcohol unless on standby. However, if they did drink, there was a further clause: "Strictly control excessive drinking."

All eyes turned to Zhou Yang, who was enjoying his meal.

It has to be said that after so many years, Ding Ji's taste is still amazing to him.

"Please don't say that. I still want to work in our brigade in the future!" Zhou Yang stood up 'in a panic', then bent down and drank the contents of his cup.

"Did Liu Da tell you? He wants to help you apply for early promotion!" After a few rounds of drinks and several dishes, Xiao Jiale came up to Zhou Yang and quietly asked.
