After He Xiaohui left, the two sat in silence for a while. The atmosphere in the room was quiet and stuffy. Su Le quietly raised his head and saw Liu Ruoyun lowering his head and fiddling with the napkin in front of him. He wanted to find something to say, but didn't know what to say.
, after holding it in for a long time, I finally thought of a topic.
"What does your customs do?" Su Le said, looking at the empty dining table in front of him.
"To put it in layman's terms, it means supervising and inspecting imported and exported goods, collecting tariffs, and prohibiting smuggling." Liu Ruoyun continued to fiddle with the napkin and answered.
"Hey, it seems that our police system also has an anti-smuggling department." Su Le continued.
"Yes, the Anti-Smuggling Bureau of the Customs is under dual leadership. The police system provides business guidance to the Anti-Smuggling Bureau, and the specific business is led by the Customs."
"Oh, then we are still a family." Su Le said jokingly.
"I'm not from the Anti-Smuggling Bureau." Liu Ruoyun also smiled and said.
"Then what department are you in?"
"I'm at the customs office."
"Does the customs office collect taxes?"
"Tax collection and administration is our main job. In addition, we also have a lot of management and policy research and formulation work."
"Oh, that sounds pretty awesome."
As soon as the two started chatting, the waiter came over to serve the food. The waiter's arrival saved the two of them from embarrassment, but also interrupted the conversation. They lowered their heads to eat the food and fell silent again for the time being.
This time it was Liu Ruoyun who found the topic first:
"By the way, isn't your job as a police officer very interesting?"
"Interesting? How should I put it? It depends on how you understand it." Su Le shook his head and said.
"How should we understand it?" Liu Ruoyun asked.
"Police work is actually similar to ordinary work. It cannot be described as interesting. Most of the work of the police is boring and repetitive. Those jobs that outsiders find interesting are actually only a small part. They are not only interesting but also dangerous.
"
"Well, I know that. You policemen look impressive on TV," Liu Ruoyun said.
"The prestige is all from TV and movies, but our actual work is very hard and tiring." When Su Le said this, he couldn't help but look up at Liu Ruoyun and thought, can such a beautiful girl endure our life as a police officer?
"Actually, they are all the same. People see our tax department as wearing uniforms and looking majestic. In fact, only we ourselves know the hard work involved." Liu Ruoyun said with deep sympathy.
"Our lives are in danger at any time, unlike you." Su Le stopped smiling and said to Liu Ruoyun seriously.
"Didn't Sister He say that you work at the police station?" Liu Ruoyun asked in confusion after listening to Su Le's words.
"But I won't work at the police station forever. I'm studying criminal investigation." Su Le said.
"Criminal investigation? What you studied is criminal investigation? That's great! Come on, tell me what criminal investigation is all about." Liu Ruoyun said excitedly.
Facing Liu Ruoyun who suddenly became excited, Su Le didn't know how to deal with it. He could only follow Liu Ruoyun's thoughts and tell her:
"Criminal investigation is criminal investigation. Simply put, it is to investigate criminal crimes and bring criminals to justice."
"I know that. I want to ask if you are like Sherlock Holmes, or like the policemen in Keigo Higashino's novels, who are good at reasoning and can see through human nature at a glance?" Liu Ruoyun asked eagerly.
"Do you know Sherlock Holmes and Keigo Higashino?" Su Le asked.
"Of course, I loved reading detective novels when I was in college. Books by Sherlock Holmes and Keigo Higashino were my favorites!" Liu Ruoyun said proudly.
"Those are just novels. Reality is far less exciting than novels, and reality is far more exciting than novels." Su Le said, staring at Liu Ruoyun.
"I don't understand." Liu Ruoyun shook his head and said.
"This is what a senior told me. He told me when I was obsessed with detective novels like you." Su Le said, pretending to be mature.
"Hey! Uncle, I'm not mistaken. I just pretended to be you when I first met you!" Liu Ruoyun pretended to be angry on purpose.
"No, no, that's not what I meant." Su Le waved his hands repeatedly.
"Then tell me, what do you mean?" Liu Ruoyun said reluctantly.
"That's what I mean, I think it should be like this." Su Le scratched his head and continued to explain:
"From the development process of the entire case, the development of the case in reality is often not as ups and downs as in novels. Reality is often very straightforward and dull. But novels are condensed and intense.
.So reality is far less exciting than novels. And if you look at the specific details, reality is often more surprising, more incredible, and more abrupt and sudden. Novels often pursue rationality and dare not be too abrupt.
So reality is far more exciting than fiction.”
Su Le said such a long paragraph in one breath, Liu Ruoyun was stunned for a long time without reacting.
"Oh, that's what it means. Well, it's a bit interesting." Liu Ruoyun said to himself thoughtfully.
Su Le was very happy to see that Liu Ruoyun understood what he meant. Looking at the girl in front of him, who had a charming face and was interested in solving the case, a flower gradually bloomed in Su Le's heart.
"Okay, Officer Su, what you said makes sense." Liu Ruoyun looked at the policeman in front of him, who was not tall and mighty, but even somewhat elegant.
"What's the truth? It's all based on experience in life." Su Le said sheepishly.
"Okay, if I praise you, you can go to Versailles!" Liu Ruoyun glared at him and said.
The two of them slowly talked about each other word by word. Time passed by unconsciously, and Su Le and Liu Ruoyun became like a pair of old friends. During the meal, Liu Ruoyun glanced at the phone and suddenly exclaimed softly:
"Such a thing actually exists."
Su Le asked in confusion: "What's wrong?"
"Look, the body of a middle-aged man was found in the river in Ruize. It was said that the city police went to the scene." Liu Ruoyun showed his cell phone to Su Le.
Su Le took it and took a look. It turned out that someone in Liu Ruoyun's circle of friends had forwarded a new media article. The title of the article was "A corpse was found floating in the Ruize River." The article detailed the time and place where the corpse was found, and
It said that a large number of police from the city arrived at the scene and distributed several photos. One of the photos in the article actually showed He Xiaohui and himself. Due to discipline, Su Le could not discuss the case on this occasion, so he returned the phone to Liu Ruoyun.
To say it lightly:
"Oh, maybe it was someone who slipped and fell into the water."
Liu Ruoyun took the phone and kept flipping through it, and suddenly exclaimed. Su Le thought it was broken, he must have seen the photos.
"Hey, look, isn't this Sister Hui!" Liu Ruoyun stretched out her phone again.
"It seems so." Su Le replied with a smile.
"Hey, this person looks familiar too." Liu Ruoyun took her mobile phone to enlarge the photo and looked up at Su Le from time to time.
Su Le quickly lowered his head, fearing that it was him.
"Su Le, is this person you?" After a while, Liu Ruoyun finally looked at Su Le and asked.
"Oh, right." Su Le replied sheepishly.
"Then why didn't you say anything just now?" Liu Ruoyun asked pretending to be angry.
Seeing this, Su Le quickly responded with a smile:
"Hey, you have discipline and you are not allowed to talk."
"What you are not allowed to talk about is the facts of the case. Are you not allowed to admit it when you see your photo?" Liu Ruoyun asked Su Le while shaking the phone with his hand.
"Aren't I a little embarrassed?" Su Le blushed a little when asked.
"Although you didn't take the initiative to confess, you haven't been recognized by me yet." Liu Ruoyun said with a proud look on his face.
"You are awesome, awesome!" Su Le gave Liu Ruoyun a thumbs up.
"Then tell me now, what's going on? I will keep it secret and won't tell anyone." Liu Ruoyun took back the phone and said excitedly.
"I'm sorry, I really can't tell. Besides, I'm just here to help, so I don't know the inside story." Su Le explained awkwardly.
"Okay, I won't tell you if you don't want to. I'm just teasing you." Liu Ruoyun pouted her lips deliberately.
The two of them didn't talk about this topic again during the rest of the time, but they became obviously familiar with each other because of this topic. After dinner, Su Le said to Liu Ruoyun that I would take you home. Liu Ruoyun not only did not refuse, but was also very happy.
accepted.
In front of the hotel bar, Su Le and Liu Ruoyun were waiting for the check.
Su Le took out his cell phone and waited for the waiter to report the bill.
"Sir, the total consumption is 538 yuan. You can give me 530 yuan." The waiter said with a smile.
Su Le opened Alipay and showed the payment code to the waiter. The waiter smiled and pointed to a payment code in front of the counter and said:
"Sir, please scan this code."
Su Le looked at a payment code placed in front of the counter, and suddenly felt that he had seen this payment code somewhere. His brain was running rapidly, restaurant? Payment code? No cash? Real-name system? Dumpling restaurant?
Liu Ruoyun saw where Su Le was stunned, touched Su Le with his arm and asked:
"What's wrong with you? You don't have any money?"
When Su Le was touched by Liu Ruoyun, he suddenly had an idea and thought, yes! The payment code! How could I forget this!
"Oh, no, no, it's okay, it's okay." Su Le quickly scanned the QR code and paid. Then he said to Liu Ruoyun:
"I'm sorry, I suddenly remembered something urgent. Can you go home by yourself?"
"Of course you can!" Liu Ruoyun glanced sideways at Su Le.
"That's great, I won't give it to you." Su Le said happily.
"Okay, 88." Liu Ruoyun turned around angrily and walked out of the hotel, but Su Le didn't notice.
After Su Le broke up with Liu Ruoyun, he immediately drove to the branch and went to the archives department to retrieve the bunch of keys found by the river. Then he drove to Hongqu Dumpling House.
Opening the door of the Hongqu Dumpling House, Su Le found the switch on the wall and turned on the light. The dumpling house does not have a cashier counter like a big hotel. Nowadays, customers who eat basically no longer use cash. Merchants only need to put money on the wall or
Just post a few payment codes on the dining table, add an external speaker, and you're all set.
Su Le took out his mobile phone and pointed it at the QR code posted on the glass. He took a photo first. This QR code was the same as the QR code that Yu Kitchen just put in the store. It was not a simple Alipay QR code.
Instead, there were the words Industrial and Commercial Bank of China below the QR code. Then Su Le opened Alipay, scanned the QR code, entered the amount and clicked payment.
"Alipay payment is 1 yuan." The speaker hanging on the wall announced the amount of payment.
Su Le smiled with satisfaction, put away his mobile phone, turned off the lights in the store, locked the door and rushed directly to the city bureau.
