Seeing Zheng Xia's expression which was not joking at all, Xu Ran was speechless.
According to the police's standard manual, when citizens encounter criminal cases like their own, they really should not get involved. Even if they see a police officer being beaten, it is correct to call the police immediately.
But the problem is that these are all theories and regulations.
Social order relies on people to maintain stability, and the rules of order are also determined by people.
Any rules and laws regulate the bottom line of morality, but they do not determine the upper limit of morality.
Because people live in society, they naturally have to abide by order and regulations.
But in the same way, just because we are human beings, we have the so-called rule of being humane and sophisticated rather than indifferent.
In the eyes of Zheng Xia, who strictly adheres to rules, her idea is certainly correct. She believes that even if something happens to her, she will at most die in the line of duty. When she put on this outfit, she was already prepared for all this.
Perhaps it is because of this kind of psychological preparation that she is unwilling to have more human interactions with others to avoid being dragged down by these sophistication.
She died in the line of duty, but if something happened to Xu Ran or Su Xiaolu like last night, it would be a complete dereliction of duty on her part as a security police officer.
What happened to the citizens was something Zheng Xia couldn't accept.
So what Zheng Xia said was understandable, but Xu Ran couldn't accept it.
"You mean I saw you guys having trouble in the alley last night, so I had to hide in the corner and watch and do nothing?"
"As I said, you can help call the police and speed up the arrival of our police officers."
"Wait, I don't want to talk about calling the police." Xu Ran waved her hand to stop, "Do you think I caused you trouble last night?"
Seeing Xu Ran's eyes blazing, Zheng Xia was still extremely sure: "Although with your help, the case can be concluded, but the regulations..."
"Don't. Don't say these things to me. I can understand it, so I don't need to hear you repeat it so many times." Xu Ran frowned and pursed her lips, her expression a little unhappy: "According to what you mean, I have to watch something happen to you.
Watching you being pushed against the wall and being strangled to death? Do you think I can do it?"
"I'm not blaming what happened last night. I'm just saying this to tell you that if something like this happens again in the future, don't do it again."
Zheng Xia, who really owed a favor, was not so tough after all.
"Then I'm telling you, if you are still so reckless in the future and put yourself in the same situation as last night, if I meet you, I will definitely help you if I can."
Hearing what Xu Ran said, Zheng Xia also frowned. Especially when she saw Xu Ran looking very concerned and worried about herself, she couldn't help but feel a little heavy in her heart and turned her head: "I don't need your care."
The atmosphere in the ward dropped a few degrees again. Xiao Chen was holding the warm soup, but he felt that the soup in his hand was a little cold... I was afraid that it would not warm his stomach even if he drank it.
Han also saw that Xu Ran had a dispute with Zheng Xia and was a little at a loss. She had never experienced this kind of situation in her little mind. Where could she find a solution?
This is also the first confrontation between Nuan Nan and Steel Straight Girl. It has to be said that if it were not for the favor of last night's case, Xu Ran and Zheng Xia would not be in the "evenly matched" situation they are now.
Otherwise, if Zheng Xia followed the past example, he would have "convinced others with his virtue" early on, and Xu Ran would definitely nod his head and agree to him.
But will Xu Ran agree now? Will he admit what Zheng Xia said?
Xu Ran would not deny it. He knew that what Zheng Xia said was right. From the perspective of social order, what Zheng Xia said was right.
But from a social and human perspective, this couldn't be more wrong.
Especially when he heard Zheng Xia's words of breaking the jar and telling Xu Ran to leave her alone, Xu Ran couldn't help but feel angry in her heart.
Yes, the relationship between him and Zheng Xia is indeed not very deep, and it does not reach the so-called life-and-death level.
But Zheng Xia's attitude as a security policeman and the way he treated Han Yike were extremely approved by Xu Ran, just like what he considered last night.
No matter how Zheng Xia viewed him, he already shamelessly considered Zheng Xia to be his friend.
If something happens to a friend, what's the point of trying to help as much as possible?
How come it was still a mistake when it came to Zheng Xia’s mouth?
Is it just because of identity issues that we don’t care about friendship?
Zheng Xia turned her head and did not look at Xu Ran. In fact, what she said was a bit hurtful, but she felt that she still needed to say it.
Especially when Xu Ran said she would do it again next time, she had to say so even more.
It stands to reason that since she has said this, Xu Ran should compromise or get angry and ignore Zheng Xia, which is regarded as acquiescing to this matter.
After all, Zheng Xia's words are rarely refuted by others. No matter what she says or does, she doesn't need others to care.
In everyone's eyes, Zheng Xia is a mature woman. Every time she is coldly rejected, she is rewarded with words like 'take care of yourself' or 'be careful'.
But this time, I'm afraid Xu Ran will be so angry that she won't even be able to say polite words to herself anymore, right?
However, Xu Ran's extremely angry and affirmative words made Zheng Xia raise her eyes in shock.
"What nonsense are you talking about? I don't care what you do!"
Xu Ran's eyebrows were raised, and he seemed to be full of anger, but his attitude towards life has not changed. The so-called "bear with the calm, take a step back, and the sky will be brighter".
He has always endured and never retreated.
"You want me to watch something happen to you? Unless I am blind and have no conscience, I will never do such a thing!"
"Even if one day I really have no conscience, I will definitely be eaten by you Zheng Xia!"
"Don't always hold me down with rules. Rules are the bottom line of morality!"
"As a human being, you must learn to pursue the upper limit of morality. I will not think that I am wrong in helping you. Not last night, not now, not next time!"
"You are the captain of the public security police outside, but now you are lying in bed because of your own negligence and recklessness. Do you think you can still afford to teach me a lesson as a captain now?"
"I'm telling you as a friend, Zheng Xia."
"You should be honest and eat all the food for me now, and don't ask me this question again in the future! If you don't eat all the food, I will open your mouth and feed you now!"
Han Yike quickly nodded in agreement: "Yes, yes! If Sister Zheng is disobedient, don't blame me for being rude!"
Although Han Yi did not fully understand what Xu Ran said, because in her eyes, she did not even understand the point of conflict between Zheng Xia and Xu Ran.
But at this time, helping Xu Ran is definitely the right thing to do!
After hearing Xu Ran's words, Xiao Chen wanted to nod his head quickly, but looking at Zheng Xia's stinky face, he didn't even dare to say a word.
Zheng Xia's eyebrows were knitted together, her face was a little solemn, her eyes were like eagles, she looked at Xu Ran but couldn't make him compromise.
This is a rare phenomenon.
This uncontrollable situation made Zheng Xia feel powerless for the first time.
If Xu Ran was a gangster, or someone in her own circle, then she would have many ways to make Xu Ran obey. But now she can't do it...
"What are you looking at? Give it to me quickly! Even if you are angry, you have to eat before you feel angry."
...
The director and Captain Zhang were standing outside the door chatting. There was a piece of glass at the door of the ward that allowed one to see what was going on inside the ward.
They just made room for Xu Ran, Han Yike and Zheng Xia to chat for the rest of the day. The situation of today's case has not been finalized yet, and it is not time to leave.
After Xu Ran and Han Yike finished visiting Zheng Xia, they had to go back to the ward to discuss the follow-up of the case with Zheng Xia.
Especially today, Bureau Zheng from the Municipal Public Security Bureau is also coming to visit Zheng Xia, so there is no need for the two of them to leave.
They stood at the door chatting and looking at the situation in the ward from time to time.
The director patted Captain Zhang on the shoulder: "You have to prepare materials and write a simple report when you go back today."
Team Zhang was stunned: "Are you a little anxious? Although everyone has been arrested, one of the two black men has not woken up yet, and the other has woken up but did not say a word. Brother Chen Zhe did have something to say.
, but it will take some time to sort out the case experience..."
"So, I'm asking you to prepare a simple report. It doesn't need to be too complete." The director touched his chin, "I will also let you be responsible for the above report materials later. As for handling the reports outside the society... let me do it.
.”
Captain Zhang was even more surprised: "Isn't this... bad? Are you sure you won't let Zheng Xia or you come to report this kind of thing to the superior? If I come... do you mean to grab the credit?"
"Is this a credit?" The director had a strange expression. "I would rather not take this credit. The security police captain was reckless and put himself in a dangerous situation and almost died in the line of duty. If Xu Ran hadn't taken action in time, can you call this a credit?"
"Then at least a case has been solved..." Captain Zhang laughed bitterly.
"Remember, the report above is serious and detailed, and don't deliberately hide anything. We can't do this. If Xiao Zheng is wrong, he is wrong. We can't cover up the reports within the city bureau. Do you understand?"
Team Zhang was in a dilemma: "Is this really good? After all, will this affect Zheng Xia's future..."
"Do you think Zheng Xia doesn't feel that she has made a mistake?" The director glanced at Team Zhang, "Don't underestimate her. She knows better than anyone how big a mistake she has made. If she is to protect her in the report above, let her
After finding out, don’t you think she won’t change her story?”
Speaking of this, the director sighed again: "Director Zheng is good at raising his son, but unfortunately he gave birth to a daughter... Little Zheng's temperament is exactly the same as Director Zheng when he was young. So don't do this fake favor.
, say whatever you have to say.”
After hearing this, Team Zhang understood the reason for these arrangements and nodded quickly in response: "I understand. As for the reports from outside the society, will the director personally handle them?"
"Yes, this matter has been delayed for a long time, and we need to give an explanation to the people of Nanzhou City."
Captain Zhang couldn't help but smile bitterly when he thought of something: "Then... what about the details of the case? Does the director also have to seek truth from facts?"
The director was stunned, then smiled with his old face and pointed at Captain Zhang: "What a good boy, how dare you tease me."
"How dare I? I don't want to ask the director and learn some experience by the way!"
"Of course we can't do the same to the outside world as we do to the superiors." The director said seriously, "For this external report, I have to talk to the executives of Chifeng Group."
"Is it because of Xu Ran?"
"Yes... We can't protect Xiao Zheng from the outside, but we still have to protect her from the outside world. Judging from the current situation, this case must be shaped into a typical case of police-civilian cooperation.
Although Xu Ran's personal participation in the arrest and search mission goes against the original intention, it is true that Xu Ran's contribution is not small."
Captain Zhang realized something and nodded slowly: "So the director wants to discuss it with Chifeng Group?"
"After all, our employees have done a good thing in the city, and we are willing to take care of it. Chifeng Group will definitely be happy too. After all, if the report is published, coupled with the follow-up district office's praise of Chifeng Group, it will also make Chifeng Group's social atmosphere
The evaluation goes one step further.”
When the director thought of something, he quickly said: "Remember to get a banner and some title of citizen of Zhu District, and give them to Xu Ran. When the case is finalized, he will get it to the Chifeng Group. Anyway, for the public
Report, we will try our best to make this case a case of police-citizen cooperation, do you understand?"
"Understood!"
At this moment, after chatting, the two subconsciously looked into the ward again, and happened to see Xu Ran holding a soup bowl and a spoon, as if feeding Zheng Xia soup.
When the two saw this scene, they looked at each other with strange expressions.
This behavior...seems that the two of them are very close.
Could it be that Xu Ran and Zheng Xia have an affair?
"What is the relationship between this little Zheng... and Xu Ran?"
Team Zhang hesitated: "I have never heard of Zheng Xia having a close relationship with any man in the district. What's more, Xu Ran is outside the circle."
"Is it possible... that Xu Ran is pursuing Xiao Zheng?" Maybe it's because he is getting older, and the director also likes to gossip: "Xiao Zheng is indeed not too young, and he should find a boyfriend. I'll see you all day long.
She spends her time working and dealing with men like you. What will she do if she can't find a man to marry in the future?"
"Director, you have gone too far in worrying about this."
Just as the two were laughing and joking and chatting, a person came close to them. The director and Captain Zhang turned around and their expressions changed.
"Director Zheng, you are here."
"Hello Director Zheng!"
Zheng Cheng was not wearing a police uniform today, but even though he was wearing casual clothes, his expression was solemn and not angry. He glanced at the two of them and smiled lightly: "You don't have to be so formal. I'm here to visit my daughter today."
"No, you're here, you have to give us more instructions no matter what, so that we have a chance to learn." The director's smile was not false, "Forget about me being an old man, but there are still many young people in the district.
Everyone wants these learning opportunities.”
Zheng Cheng smiled lightly, waved his hand, and asked curiously: "By the way, what are you two doing at the door of the ward?"
"Oh, Xiao Zheng's friend came to visit her, so we will make some space." The director looked around privately, "Are you coming alone?"
"My wife went to the bathroom." Zheng Cheng looked curious, Zheng Xia's friend? Which friend?
As he spoke, Zheng Cheng also approached the door of the ward and looked inside through the glass of the door to see who was visiting Zheng Xia.
Captain Zhang and the director sensibly gave up their seats, but they also accompanied Zheng Cheng to look inside, and wanted to test out the relationship between Xu Ran and Zheng Xia.
However, the situation found in the ward changed the previous intimacy and warmth and became tense...
Especially through the door of the ward, you can hear Xu Ran's serious voice scolding education.
"What nonsense are you talking about? I don't care what you do!"
