N Province, N City, township and district police station.
Zhou Qian 'an was bored as she looked through the reports of her wallet or phone being stolen on her computer. As time passed, she felt more and more helpless.
She graduated from a famous police academy in the country. Although she did not graduate with outstanding results, the students who graduated from that school would basically become the backbone of the national police force. Moreover, among the 600 students who graduated this year, she was ranked around 300.
However, she could only yawn and wait for work to end in front of the computer.
"Ah, the fourth day. When will it end?”
Zhou Qian 'an mumbled and got up to get a glass of water.
Logically speaking, with her results, if she were to work in a county-level criminal investigation team, she would at least arrange for a senior criminal police officer to lead her. It was even more likely that she would go directly to the crime scene and participate in the battle of wits and courage with the criminals.
But all of this was just her beautiful fantasy.
When she came, the Criminal Investigation Unit's captain position was vacant. The two vice-captains were working hard to win against each other and then successfully promoted. At this time, they had no time to care about her.
The superior assigned to her was one of the two vice-captains, Liu Xie. When Liu Xie saw her a few days ago, he was disappointed to find that she was just a female university graduate.
Zhou Qianwen could still remember the look of contempt in her eyes. Ever since she was a freshman in the police academy, she was often looked down upon by others. However, she always relied on her own efforts to surpass them step by step.
However, as a newcomer, she naturally couldn't go against her superior's decision.
Therefore, under Liu Xie's arrangement, she only needed to answer the phone in the office and write documents.
"Rumble ~"
A loud clap of thunder tore through the sky and illuminated the entire land for a short period of time.
At this moment, dark clouds were pressing down on the city outside the window. It was clearly four o'clock in the afternoon, but it looked like six o'clock in the evening. From time to time, there would be a few thunderclaps, indicating that a heavy rain was coming.
N City was a coastal city and was in the subtropics. It was the beginning of June and the weather was extremely hot. In the current era where air conditioning was not common, the room was particularly stuffy. This was also the reason why Zhou Qianwen wanted to doze off even when she sat down.
"Crack, crack…"
After Zhou Qianwen returned with a glass of water, she realized that it was already raining heavily outside the window. The bean-sized raindrops were hitting the window noisily.
Looking at the heavy rain outside the window, Zhou Qianwen could not help but worry.
Although she had only been here for a few days and had yet to come into contact with any cases, she had heard from her colleagues that the rain was their biggest worry now.
Because not only could rain make people wet and uncomfortable, but it could also cause a fire!
Fire? How could there be a fire on a rainy day?
Zhou Qianwen almost thought that she had heard wrongly when she heard that. She then walked closer to them and talked to them. She learned that there had been three fires in the past month since May, and all of them had happened on rainy nights.
Later, Zhou Qianwen checked the information and found out that it was easy to cause electrical appliances to short-circuit and catch fire on rainy days due to the humid weather. It was also very normal for a fire to happen.
However, this was not the reason for the three fires. Someone had deliberately set fire to the quilts and clothes in the house, or spilled the cooking oil in the house.
Fortunately, these three deliberate arson incidents did not cause any casualties, but the negative impact caused by them was already very serious. The area was in a state of panic, and all kinds of rumors were flying everywhere.
The pressure from the outside world that questioned the police's ability to solve the case also came. Now, even the two current deputy captains of the Criminal Investigation Team from the township and district were working together to solve the case. And if one of them could make progress first, then they would probably be able to lead the other party by a large margin in the battle for the position of captain!
Zhou Qian 'an also wanted to participate in this case. She was also very curious about what kind of person would choose to set fire on a rainy night. However, all of this had nothing to do with her because Captain Liu did not want to play with her at all.
Two hours later, Zhou Qian 'an got off work and went to the cafeteria. She was going to eat before returning to the police station dormitory.
Although the food in the police canteen was really average, for Zhou Qian 'an, who had been in school since she was young, cooking was basically out of her league.
She even thought of finding a boyfriend who could cook well in the future.
……
The night was as dark as ink, accompanied by heavy rain.
The entire area was no longer as lively as it used to be. Almost all the shops and hawkers had closed their doors, and only a few street lamps occasionally illuminated the road.
Zhou Qian 'an held an umbrella and walked for more than ten minutes before returning home.
"D * mn, is the rain so heavy in this coastal city? The difference between holding an umbrella and not holding an umbrella seems to be whether your hair will be wet or not. As for your clothes…"
Zhou Qianwen could already feel that there was not a single dry spot on her body. She stopped nagging and quickly grabbed a few clothes to take a shower.
