Qingliang Town was only 30 minutes away from Jiangzhou City.
Xu Chen and Liu Heng cursed and chatted all the way and soon entered the city.
Xu Chen was twenty-three years old this year, and Liu Heng was forty-three years old. The two of them had an age difference of twenty years.
But of the two, one was generous, and the other was straightforward.
There was no generation gap or estrangement between them.
The police car drove into the city bureau's compound. Before getting out of the car, Liu Heng specially reminded,
"When you see Bureau Chief Chen of the municipal bureau later, you have to control your temper. Not everyone is as easy to talk to as me. It's not a big deal for you to lose face, but our bureau chief and I won't be able to face anyone.”
Xu Chen said casually," Don't worry. Don't worry about me. Do I look like the kind of person who doesn't know what's important and what's important?"”
Liu Heng was stunned for a moment before nodding.
"That's true. People like you are thick-skinned and black-hearted. You're the best at dealing with such situations.”
They entered the building and took the elevator to the fifteenth floor. Liu Heng brought Xu Chen to a room.
Before he knocked on the door, he checked his appearance to see if his uniform was neat and tidy.
After the inspection, he gently knocked on the door.
"Come in."
A steady voice came from the room.
Liu Heng swallowed his saliva and forced a sincere and unpretentious smile on his face before slowly pushing open the office door.
Xu Chen could not help but roll his eyes as he watched Liu Heng's careful operation.
"Hello, Bureau Chief Chen!"
Liu Heng saluted as he entered the room.
Bureau Chief Chen returned the greeting and said politely,""Xiao Liu, you're here. This must be Xiao Xu. Please take a seat.”
Chief Chen's name was Chen Jianjun. He was about 50 years old. He was dressed in a police uniform. He looked determined and had some white hair on his temples.
Xu Chen and Liu Heng sat down in front of Chief Chen's desk.
Chen Jianjun spoke again,"
"Old Feng called me today to tell me about Xiao Xu. To be honest, I'm very surprised by Xiao Xu's ability.”
" However, there are many things in the boundless world that ordinary people cannot understand. There must be a reason behind it.”
"It would definitely be a blessing for the Jiang State Police Force if an extraordinary person like Xiao Xu could join us. Our team would also be like a tiger with wings.”
"However…"
At this point, he changed the topic.
"The provincial government places great importance on the introduction of outstanding talents, and the conditions are also very harsh. Although our Jiangzhou Police Department has the qualification to recommend talents, we have to be very careful when applying for a recommendation. Otherwise, if the recommendation is rejected, the entire Jiangzhou Police Department will be disgraced.”
After Chen Jianjun finished speaking, Liu Heng nodded quickly.
"Chief Chen, I understand. Our Xijiang Police Station has conducted a full investigation on Xu Chen.”
"Xu Chen is a fresh graduate of Jiangzhou University, a famous university. His performance in school is outstanding, and he has a good attitude.”
"The Xu family's ancestors started working as corpse carriers and corpse carriers since the Ming Dynasty. It has been passed down to this day. It's recorded in our Jiang Prefecture's and Xijiang County's annals.”
"In the 1980s, the government of Qingliang Town once declared corpse hunting as a traditional art to be an intangible cultural heritage, but the city rejected it on the grounds that it had not been proven by scientific principles.”
"This morning, after our Xijiang County Criminal Police Team witnessed Xu Chen's case solving process, we realized that corpse chasing has a decisive effect on solving major criminal cases, especially murder cases.”
"Therefore, after careful consideration by the Xijiang County Police Station, we have decided to recommend Xu Chen to the Municipal Bureau as a candidate for the Provincial Special Talent Introduction Plan. We hope that the Municipal Bureau and Bureau Chief Chen will approve it.”
After listening to the conversation between Bureau Chief Chen and Liu Heng, Xu Chen was amazed.
He had investigated him and his ancestors for eighteen generations.
Xu Chen himself did not know that he had applied for an intangible cultural heritage. In the end, the police even found out about this.
However, on second thought, it was not particularly difficult to understand.
Ordinary civil servants had to undergo strict background checks and political checks, let alone special talents that the provincial government attached great importance to!
Chen Jianjun nodded and said," Comrade Xiao Xu's situation basically meets the application requirements for recommendation. The bureau has already discussed this before. The city bureau just happened to encounter a difficult case. As an assessment, as long as Comrade Xiao Xu can solve this case, the Jiangzhou City Bureau will recommend Comrade Xiao Xu as a candidate for special talent and submit it to the provincial office.”
Then, Chen Jianjun dialed the internal telephone on the table and called the criminal police detachment to give a few instructions.
The moment he left the bureau chief's office and closed the door, Liu Heng heaved a sigh of relief. His thick eyebrows relaxed.
When he reached the elevator and saw that there was no one around, Xu Chen teased,"Old Liu, I didn't expect you to be nervous too!”
Liu Heng took a deep breath." You still don't understand now. When you officially start working, you will naturally understand. No matter which unit you work in, ability is secondary. Talent comes first.”
"The martial world is not about fighting and killing, but about the ways of the world?”Xu Chen said a famous line.
Liu Heng glared at Xu Chen.
"I'm a police officer, not a triad member. Don't give me random examples.”
He paused for a moment and then said,
"Although the example is not appropriate, it does mean that.”
"In the future, when you become a police officer, with your talent in corpse handling, it might not be a big problem for you to solve cases. However, you must remember to observe people's expressions, pay attention to how you behave, restrain your reckless personality, know how to hide your weaknesses, learn to polish your edges, and know how to compromise. Only then can you settle down in the organization.”
Liu Heng's last sentence was very sincere.
He had only known Xu Chen for less than a day, but he felt that Xu Chen's temperament was very much to his liking. The two of them got along very well, as if they had been old friends for many years.
It was precisely because he saw Xu Chen as a friend that Liu Heng was willing to confide in him.
The elevator door opened and the two of them entered. Xu Chen suddenly asked,"Old Liu, do you know what we corpse transporter are best at?”
Liu Heng was stunned." What? Isn't he best at corpse chasing?"”
"No."
Xu Chen shook his head in denial.
"What's that?" Liu Heng was confused.
Xu Chen did not answer the question.
He looked at Liu Heng and asked calmly,"
"Dead people can't move. They have no feelings, no consciousness, and no emotions.”
"Do you know what we have to do first if we want the dead to move under such circumstances?”
Xu Chen's eyes were as calm as water. There were no ripples in them.
In the narrow and confined space of the elevator, Liu Heng felt an inexplicable aura and pressure from Xu Chen.
It was even more intense than when the prisoner faced him.
"What, what should we do?"
A layer of sweat appeared on Liu Heng's forehead, and his speech became a little sluggish.
Xu Chen's expression was still calm as he said indifferently,
"If you want the dead to move, you must first feel the emotions of the dead.”
"This is what we corpse herders are best at.”
"Only by feeling the emotions of the dead can one awaken the dead.”
" After the dead are awakened, we still need to communicate with the dead by sensing their emotions. We need to sense their inner consciousness and emotions, convey the will of us corpse drivers, and stimulate their nerves.”
After Xu Chen finished speaking, Liu Heng asked in a daze,
"What do you mean by telling me this?”
"I mean, we corpse porters can even feel the emotions of the dead. We can live in harmony with the dead."”
"Then, do you think it's difficult to observe the emotions of living people and get along with them?”
Boom!
Liu Heng felt a loud bang in his head and his body shook violently.
His heart was in turmoil.
He understood what Xu Chen was trying to say.
However, what shocked Liu Heng even more was…
He finally understood why he and Xu Chen got along so well in less than a day. They chatted so well and even became close friends.
It wasn't because the two of them had the same temperament.
It was because Xu Chen could accurately sense his emotions and make the most reasonable response.
Xu Chen's thick-skinned and shameless behavior was not a deliberate act or a deep concealment.
It just showed that Xu Chen was experienced and knowledgeable. He had enough confidence to show his personality.
At this moment, Liu Heng deeply felt how terrifying Xu Chen was.
Although the corpse-chasing technique was magical, it could only be used on the dead.
However, people who were experienced and knowledgeable were useful to the living.
This was Xu Chen's greatest talent. It allowed Xu Chen to be like a fish in water wherever he went.
The elevator door opened and they arrived at the third floor. Xu Chen walked out of the elevator first and urged,
"Old Liu, stop thinking about it. Let's hurry up and solve the case.”
"Oh, oh, okay!"
Liu Heng said, stunned.
......
The entire third floor was the office space of the Jiangzhou City Police Department's Criminal Investigation Unit.
Liu Heng and Xu Chen entered the meeting room of the criminal police detachment. There were already eight people sitting inside.
