"Xiao He, we are going to hold a press conference tomorrow, are you ready?"
After sitting down, Director Mai said with a smile: "You have the greatest credit this time. You were the main one who found Mr. Fang's son Acheng. You will definitely be indispensable at tomorrow's press conference!"
He Qing was slightly surprised and said: "Will you hold a press conference tomorrow? What preparations should be made?"
"Yes, it will officially start tomorrow at ten o'clock in the morning. Xiaohe, you must participate!" Director Mai nodded vigorously and said, "Mr. Fang and his son will definitely participate! We know that it is you who took the initiative this time.
Help Mr. Fang find his son, so you have completed this task. Now the reward is about to be awarded, and you are also the most direct beneficiary! In fact, you don’t need to make much preparation, just attend the press conference on time with us tomorrow.
.Xiao He, is it okay?"
"Well, no problem." He Qing nodded and agreed without hesitation.
He had thought of this a long time ago and knew that the police and Mr. Fang would hold a press conference, firstly to celebrate this exciting moment, and secondly to tell everyone that Acheng had been found and there was no need to continue searching.
He Qing is no longer afraid of "showing up". Anyway, he is already well-known in the capital, and many people are familiar with him. It doesn't matter if he shows up in the limelight. Besides, this is not a bad thing, so there is no need to hide one's head and tail.
Director Mai said happily: "That's good. Xiao He, we have an unkind request, I don't know whether to take it seriously or not."
"Director Mai, if you have anything to do, just say it. It doesn't matter, I will try my best to do what I can!" He Qing said cheerfully.
Director Mai was evasive and seemed too embarrassed to speak.
Hearing He Qing speak so boldly, Director Mai became more relaxed and said with a smile: "I see that you are a reasonable person, so I will tell you what I have to say."
"Well, tell me." He Qing nodded lightly.
Director Mai said solemnly: "At tomorrow's press conference, we will definitely explain to the public how Acheng was found. This matter was originally very simple. You asked along the way. The case was solved through your hands.
. But we can’t say that, because the police are the ones who solve the case. Xiaohe, what we mean is, can we say that you provided important clues and that we solved the case? "
"..." Hearing Director Mai's somewhat cryptic words, He Qing couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. He subconsciously turned his head and looked at Song Peici and the others who were sitting beside him. At this moment, Song Peici and the others were also looking at him.
Eager and full of anticipation.
He Qing quickly understood and understood the meaning of Director Mai's words. If they explain the case to the public clearly at tomorrow's press conference, then their Public Security Bureau will have almost no credit, and it will all be taken by him.
He Qing occupied it alone. After all, he had planned the whole thing. Song Peici and Zhang Shijie only made some soy sauce and did not help in any real way.
In other words, the investigation process of this case had little to do with the police. It was He Qing who found Acheng alone.
In fact, this was indeed the case. Even without the help of Song Peici and others, He Qing could still find Acheng through his supernatural powers. It just took more time.
"Xiao He, don't think too much." Seeing that He Qing seemed to be hesitant, Director Mai smiled slightly awkwardly and quickly explained, "Your credit is still yours, and we won't take it away. That's how Mr. Fang's reward is meant to be.
Yes, the reward money belongs to whoever provides the important clues. Our police will not take away a single point. Even if no one provides clues and it is up to us to find the missing person, we will not accept the reward from Mr. Xia.
, because this is unreasonable and illegal. We police officers serve the people. This is our job and what we should do. We will not ask for any compensation after the incident is completed."
"I know." He Qing nodded and said, "I didn't think much about it."
Director Mai's words couldn't be more clear. They are not seeking money, they just want to give a good "explanation" to the outside world to boost the reputation of their police force. If this is not said to be broken by them, they are just assisting a "private person"
"Detective", it would be such a loss of face, what would the outside world say about them?
Naturally, they knew very well that this matter really all depended on He Qing. Song Peici and Zhang Shijie, who were handling the case, just went with him and mechanically provided some non-critical information.
They came to ask He Qing because they were self-aware, hoping that he would grant their wish.
"Then you promised us?" Director Mai said happily, "I hope you will consider it carefully and help us. After all, the case of Mr. Fang's missing son was filed in our bureau. Now that Cheng has been found, it should be done by
Let’s close the case.”
"Well, yes, let's just say that!" He Qing agreed readily without thinking too much.
He didn't ask for this name. It was enough to settle the reward. Solving the case was a matter for the police. Logically speaking, he, an ordinary citizen, could only provide clues.
He is neither a fellow policeman nor has the right to be a "private detective", so there is no need to compete with Song Peici and others for this title, so why not give it to them.
"Xiao He, thank you very much!"
Director Mai was surprised and happy to hear that He Qing agreed to their request. Song Peici and Zhang Shijie were also overjoyed and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"You're welcome, it's nothing." He Qing shook his head and smiled lightly.
"Mr. He, thank you." Song Peici also expressed gratitude, "We are not greedy for vanity, but we need to do this. It is a routine matter. After all, we have to close the case so that we can explain it to our superiors and the outside world."
"I can understand your mood." He Qing said sternly, "It doesn't matter. That's what I should have said. You also played a big role in this matter."
In fact, even if Director Mai and others said this at tomorrow's press conference, without asking him for instructions in advance, he would not complain. It is natural for them to do so, and it is not difficult to be picky. Now that they are honest with each other and plead again and again, it shows that they respect
He did not make the decision without wishful thinking.
He Qing had no objection, and Song Peici and the others were very happy. They kept thanking him.
Finally, Director Mai and the others told He Qing about tomorrow's press conference and said they would drive to pick him up tomorrow morning.
He Qing agreed one by one.
After exchanging innocuous greetings for a while, Director Mai, Song Peici and the others said goodbye and left the hotel.
"Brother Qing, they are so vain!"
After sending Song Peici and the others away, Lin Haitao sighed in a low voice: "We want this good reputation, right? The case where Mr. Fang offered a huge reward has a great impact. After they solve it, it will definitely bring them a lot of trouble."
Good thing, Officer Song and the others will all be promoted, and Chief Mai should be the one with the highest promotion! They will definitely find a way to do something that is so beneficial to them! Haha, if you didn’t agree to them just now, I don’t know what they are doing.
What will you do?"
He Qing smiled lightly and said: "It's okay. It's just human nature! Some want to increase their salary, and some want to be promoted. Anyone would think so, right?"
He put himself in their shoes and thought about Song Peici and the others.
In fact, no matter what, He Qing didn't lose anything. As for such a little reputation, it didn't matter much to him as an ordinary person.
"That's true." Lin Haitao nodded and said, "I just think they are a bit hypocritical, why don't you tell the truth in front of the public? They have obviously taken your credit. Fortunately, they can't share your bounty."
He Qing said: "They are sincere and aboveboard. If they meet a truly hypocritical person, they won't even tell you and will just make news like that, so you can't do anything to them."
Lin Haitao pondered for a moment and then nodded and said: "Well, yes, Director Mai and Officer Song seem to be nice people, especially Officer Song. Haha, she is beautiful and considerate, but I don't know if she has a boyfriend."
friend."
"What?" He Qing joked, "Haitao, are you attracted to that policewoman? I'm afraid it will be difficult to find a policewoman as your girlfriend. She is very energetic. If there is a conflict in the future,
I’m afraid you’ll suffer a lot!”
Lin Haitao shook his head in embarrassment and said, "It's nothing! I was just talking casually. In fact, Officer Song is a really nice person. I like girls who have their own opinions!"
"After all, you are still interested in Song Peici?" He Qing said seriously, "If you are interested, then go and inquire about her situation. Don't I have her mobile phone number here? Do you want it?"
"No!" Lin Haitao hurriedly shook his head and said, "I'm just kidding. To be honest, I don't want to find a girlfriend yet. It's great to be single, free and unrestrained, not controlled by others, and it doesn't matter which girl I get close to!"
"It's true that everyone has their own views on love." He Qing nodded solemnly.
He knew that Lin Haitao's situation was very different from his own. The other party was a rich second generation, rich and handsome. He had many girlfriends before, but now he probably just got out of a relationship. A "flowery" like him
"Young Master", he is relatively numb to love and doesn't care so much.
He Qing is different. He has never had a girlfriend before, but he yearns for love very much. It is always good to have a caring girl by his side to take care of him.
Nothing happened next. He Qing and the others went to bed early at night and got up early the next day. They were all in high spirits.
Not long after finishing breakfast, He Qing received a call from Song Peici. The other party said that the car they came to greet had already arrived at the hotel gate.
He Qing said goodbye to Mr. Zheng and the others, and hurried away with Lin Haitao.
After a while, He Qing saw Song Peici, who was wearing a neat uniform and a dashing appearance.
Song Peici warmly invited He Qing and others to get into the police car, and then drove straight to the direction of their police station.
When He Qing and the others rushed to a certain district public security bureau, they saw a crowd of people around and it was very lively. Among them were many people who were resisting long guns and short guns, presumably friends from the media.
He Qing knew that he would be in the news again today and become the center of attention.
He didn't know why, but at that moment he couldn't help but feel a little excited.
"He Qing"
Suddenly, a clear and melodious voice came from the rear right.
He Qing immediately turned his head and looked around. After taking a closer look, his expression changed drastically.
