Chapter 344: Captain Zhai’s Violation of Discipline
The man glanced at her coldly, then turned around and walked into the hotel protecting the person next to him.
This process lasted less than a second, but Su Xiaoxiao still saw his appearance clearly.
He was very ugly, or maybe he wasn't originally ugly, but there was a scar on his face that extended from the tip of his eyebrow to the corner of his lips, making half of his face look a little hideous.
Su Xiaoxiao felt that she had probably never seen this person before. If she had seen him, she would definitely remember him.
But for some reason, the eyes of this person whom she had never met before were so cold, but she actually saw a hint of familiarity in them.
She couldn't remember what was so familiar about it. She had just acquired the ability of photographic memory and it was of no help to her for the past.
Forget it, it has nothing to do with her anyway.
That night, for some reason, she dreamed of her father.
Not the father from the original world, but Su Hao, the father of Su Xiaoxiao in this world.
In her dream, she returned to that night again. Her mother was helping her father sew buttons, she was doing her homework under the lamp, and her younger brother and sister had already gone to bed.
Seeing the buttons that their mother sewed crookedly, she and her father smiled knowingly and praised their mother for her good sewing skills.
The mother actually knew that she was not good at sewing, and she looked at the father and daughter helplessly. Later, she took off the buttons and sewed them back on.
It was that night that her father told her that if he was not at home, she would help him take care of her mother.
Apart from his rough skin, my father is actually very handsome and manly.
Especially when he smiled, it made her feel particularly warm.
The father in the dream smiled at her lovingly, and she was smiling too.
As he laughed, my father's face suddenly changed. Cracks began to appear from his eyebrows to the corners of his mouth.
His eyes gradually became cold and his whole face looked ferocious.
Su Xiaoxiao was frightened awake, and she didn't know why she had such a dream.
The man she had only seen once, who looked nothing like her father, broke into her dream.
It’s weird.
Never mind. It’s okay to have a weird dream occasionally. I’ll go find a book on dream interpretation later.
Aunt Su steamed a lot of buns today. As usual, Su Xiaoxiao packed a bag and brought it to Li Yan and the others.
But when she arrived at the office, she found that the atmosphere in the whole office was a little wrong.
Everyone gathered there whispering, the atmosphere was a bit depressing, and it felt like a storm was about to come.
Su Xiaoxiao handed the bun to Li Yan, "What's going on?"
"Something big is going to happen in our criminal investigation team." Li Yan lowered his voice.
"Everything is fine, what could go wrong?" Su Xiaoxiao was a little puzzled. She looked around and saw that except Qi Lei and Captain Zhai, everyone else was there.
Captain Zhai hadn't come back in the first place. He was called away by the provincial department leader. Could it be that something happened to Qi Lei? !
"Where's Captain Qi?"
"He was called to a meeting by the director and hasn't returned yet. From what I've seen, it's not Captain Qi's fault."
If it’s not Qi Lei, then it can only be Captain Zhai.
What could possibly happen to him? Su Xiaoxiao was confused.
Everyone was waiting for news and had no mind to work.
It was not until noon that Captain Qi and Deputy Director Li came back together, both of them with serious expressions on their faces.
Deputy Director Li announced an appointment. Captain Zhai was relieved of his post as captain of the criminal investigation team because the provincial department had other arrangements, and Qi Lei took over as captain of the criminal investigation team.
Everyone had no objection to Qi Lei taking over as captain. He was demoted last time because he took the blame for everyone, so it was only natural for him to be reinstated now.
The leader didn't tell them what other arrangements Captain Zhai had, and they didn't dare to ask.
But looking at their expressions, you can tell that Captain Zhai’s matter is not as simple as being dismissed.
Soon, there was a rumor.
I heard that Captain Zhai was fired for suspected disciplinary violations, and that was why he was called over by the provincial department.
This news was too explosive. Captain Zhai gave everyone the impression of being an absolutely upright person. Sometimes everyone even thought he was too upright and didn't know how to adapt at all.
How could such a person violate the rules? !
"What violation happened?" a team member asked curiously.
Everyone was looking eagerly at the team member who had the gossip.
"I heard it was a work style issue and someone reported it."
Regarding the problem of work style, Su Xiaoxiao thought of Captain Zhai's ordinary face and wondered why he was so untrustworthy.
"It's only credible if it's a work style issue. Think about it, if it's other issues, it won't be as simple as expulsion. He'll have to stay in jail for a few years at least." The team member said confidently.
"That's true, but it's too unexpected."
As the team members were talking, Qi Lei walked in. "You have nothing to do, right? Do you want me to help you arrange something? If you have time to gossip, you might as well solve a few more cases."
After being scolded by Qi Lei, everyone became obedient.
Su Xiaoxiao secretly knocked on Qi Lei's office door. He was now the team leader and had moved back.
Seeing Su Xiaoxiao's sneaky look, Qi Lei found it funny for some reason, "Come in."
Su Xiaoxiao sat down on the chair, but before she could say anything, Qi Lei spoke first.
"I know no more about Captain Zhai than you do, and the higher-ups have said that this is the end of the matter. Please stop spreading the news, lest it cause secondary harm."
Okay, Qi Lei's words blocked Su Xiaoxiao's question.
She was silent for a while before she uttered a sentence.
"Do you believe it?"
"It doesn't matter whether I believe it or not. This is not our business. It's best not to mention it again in the future."
In fact, Qi Lei didn't believe it in his heart, but they had rules and it was best not to ask questions that should not be asked.
Everyone was in a bad mood during this day.
Li Yan suggested to Su Xiaoxiao that they go out for a drink and karaoke in the evening to relax, and Chen Nansheng would treat them.
"How are you two now?" Su Xiaoxiao was a little curious.
"Better than friends, but not lovers yet." Li Yan did not hide it from her.
That's similar to her and Xiangnan. After she took advantage of him last time, that guy went to the imperial capital and hasn't come back yet.
Although we keep in touch from time to time, it’s not the same as meeting in person.
I heard that he and Xiao Yu have become good friends now.
The place chosen by Chen Nansheng was the Emperor KTV where they used to go frequently.
In fact, Su Xiaoxiao was not very interested in singing. Li Yan and Chen Nansheng ordered quite a few songs, including a few men and women that Su Xiaoxiao was not very familiar with.
They wanted to talk to Su Xiaoxiao, but she was not interested and slipped out under the pretext of going to the bathroom.
The lobby is actually more lively than the private rooms, with ambiguous lights, psychedelic music, intoxicating aroma of wine, and men and women hugging each other, releasing their natures without any scruples.
Suddenly, Su Xiaoxiao saw a familiar person sitting in the corner booth.
It turned out to be Captain Zhai, the protagonist of their discussion today. He seemed to be in a bad mood. There were several bottles of foreign liquor in front of him and he was drinking one glass after another.
Su Xiaoxiao was just about to walk over when a fragrant breeze blew by, and the manager came to Captain Zhai with a few beautifully dressed girls.
One of the girls sat directly on Captain Zhai's lap and hugged his neck. Captain Zhai pinched the girl's waist and fed the wine in his hand into her mouth.
The set of movements was so smooth and flowing that Su Xiaoxiao was stunned.
