Officer! You Can Get a First-class Merit Awards Just by Eating Melon Seeds?

Chapter 86 The Stylish Old Man Wang!Hearing this, Chen Mo deliberated for a long time.

To tell the truth, asking for leave for Xiao Liu was no difficulty for him at all, and Long Hao would give him this favor.

But...

”The matter can be handled, but it’s hard to deal with Uncle Wang.”

As he spoke, he looked troubled.

On one side was Uncle Wang, with whom he shared a revolutionary friendship, and on the other was Xiao Liu’s romance.

Why are you putting me on the spot with your business?

He felt very helpless.

”Can’t we just not tell him? I’ve already figured it out. I’ll take Mom and Dad out in the morning, and then take Xiao Liu out in the afternoon and evening.”

”After all, they’re old, so playing for a morning is enough.”

Sister Qing said, clasping her hands together in a pleading manner.

Deep down, she was genuinely fond of Xiao Liu. After all, he had a good job, looked decent, and was young; she couldn’t let this opportunity slip by.

She had to secure him as soon as possible!

”Fine, but you have to manage your time well when the time comes.”

”Mhm, don’t worry, I definitely won’t let anything slip in front of my dad.”

With that, the matter was settled.

Chen Mo unlocked the door and walked out.

Just at this moment, Uncle Wang’s voice rang out.

”Xiao Chen, come over here quickly and see how this outfit looks on me.”

In the living room, Uncle Wang was wearing a white cartoon short-sleeved shirt, suit pants on his lower body, a duckbill cap on his head, and a pair of sunglasses hanging from his chest.

When it came to his attire, it could be summed up in two words: fashionable!

It’s no exaggeration to say that if you didn’t know his actual age, you’d probably guess he was around forty-five.

”Dad, what are you doing!”

Sister Qing held her forehead with one hand, her tone helpless.

”Doesn’t this look good? It’s so neat to wear. You can’t be as casual when you go out as you are at home.”

”Xiao Chen, what do you think of this outfit? Give me your critique.”

Chen Mo stroked his chin. As a young man, he actually thought Uncle Wang’s look was quite good.

At the very least, it was much better than the white undershirt, big shorts, and fan in hand look.

”Haha, my effort wasn’t wasted.”

Hearing the critique, a look of satisfaction appeared on Uncle Wang’s face.

Taptaptap.

Auntie Niu walked out of the bedroom and poked her head out to take a look at Uncle Wang.

Before she could even ask how it looked, she returned to the room.

”What’s going on today?”

A moment later, a sigh came from the bedroom.

”He’s someone who never dressed like this before.”

”Now that he’s dressing like this, he must have someone.”

These words clearly reached the ears of the three people in the living room.

”Well, I’ll head back first.”

Chen Mo said goodbye and quickly left.

As soon as he stepped out, an angry voice rang out from inside.

”Dressing like this, who are you planning to show off to!”

—Bang, bang, bang.

...

Chen Mo walked out of the apartment building, the corner of his mouth twitching.

From this incident, he also learned a lesson.

That is, it’s best to explain things early. Once a misunderstanding arises, any explanation thereafter just sounds like a lame excuse.

He took out his phone and called Long Hao.

Since he had promised to help with Xiao Liu’s matter, it was better to get it done early to avoid forgetting.

The phone rang three times before Long Hao picked up.

”I was just about to call you.”

”You go first.”

Long Hao’s voice came through the receiver.

”Does Xiao Liu have any special work arrangements recently?”

”I don’t think so. Just tell me what you need. The Instructor has given the word: any requests you have in the near future should be met as much as possible.”

”It’s not my business, actually...”

A moment later, he explained the whole story clearly.

”Haha, that Xiao Liu!”

”Fine, I agree to this. If you don’t have anything else, I have something to say.”

Seeing that the matter Sister Qing had entrusted him with was taken care of, Chen Mo felt a weight lift off his shoulders.

”Do you remember Wang Chongyang? The guy who was framed for rape and then threatened to blow up the school.”

”The government compensation has come through. It’s 500,000 for three years.”

”And the people involved in framing him will be sentenced in court tomorrow.”

Chen Mo nodded. Of course he hadn’t forgotten the person; it had only been a few days.

”That’s a good thing. So, why are you looking for me?”

”We originally planned not to hold a public trial for this case, considering it was a miscarriage of justice and wouldn’t look good for our police force’s image.”

”However, this matter has caused a huge reaction online, and many netizens are demanding a public trial.”

”The pressure from public opinion is huge.”

Chen Mo nodded slightly. Wang Chongyang’s case could indeed stir up deep anger in the public.

It was a case of power bullying an ordinary person.

Naturally, the public wanted to know the final outcome; this was understandable.

”I was thinking that we could take this opportunity to hold a fundraising event within our Municipal Bureau. On one hand, it could improve the living conditions of Wang Chongyang’s parents, and on the other, it could help maintain the reputation of our police force.”

It was a win-win solution, and there was nothing wrong with it.

It could also slightly calm the public sentiment ignited by the previous miscarriage of justice.

”Fine, I’ll donate 3,000.”

Chen Mo thought for a moment and stated a number.

Excluding other performance bonuses and the like, his salary was previously 1,080, and after being promoted to Third-class Police Superintendent, it had gone up a bit, but not by much.

”Alright, then it’s settled.”

Then he hung up the phone.

He turned around and returned to his home.

He walked into the bathroom to rinse off and came out five minutes later.

In his previous life, he always saw videos about girls taking showers that lasted over half an hour.

But for a guy, a shower should only need soap and shampoo.

He wiped his head with a towel and returned to the bedroom.

He sat at the desk and took out his notebook.

On it were records of his previous skill upgrades.

This allowed him to see more intuitively which skills were lagging behind and which were too high.

In the future, when encountering major cases, he couldn’t rely on others to provide him with clues.

Therefore, becoming an all-rounder was inevitable.

Just like the human body, you can’t just supplement one vitamin; you need balance.

After browsing the previous records, he turned to a new page, and a note caught his eye.

On the note were the three words ”Liu Qingwu,” plus an address.

This person was the Instructor’s teacher, given to him last time while investigating the cannibal case.

It indicated that he should pay a visit before going to the provincial capital for the competition next month, and at the same time learn from his years of experience in criminal investigation.

Should he go or not?

According to the address on the paper, the person was in the neighboring Luocheng, not in Muhe.

After thinking about it, he decided to make the trip.

On one hand, he had to accept the Instructor’s good intentions, and on the other, he also wanted to see if he could learn something from Elder Liu.

Moreover, this trip just happened to align with his previous idea of taking a break.

And Luocheng, where Elder Liu was located, was known as the ancient capital of thirteen dynasties, with many scenic spots like the ’Longmen Grottoes,’ ’Laojun Mountain,’ and ’White Horse Temple’ that he could just happen to visit.
