Chapter 40 - Chapter 40 Job Exchange

"Exchange jobs? What jobs? Why do you want to exchange?" Gu Xiaofan felt a little surprised. Although she has always been a supporting role in the work and has never been the main force, generally speaking, unless the ability is not up to the task or other objective conditions do not allow it, a case will be assigned to a few people who are mainly responsible. Maybe a few helpers will be added in the middle, but people will never be replaced in the middle.

"Because I am new here, Captain Yang said that someone is worried that I am not familiar with the environment and may not be able to perform well during the investigation. Although you can be a guide, you are too inexperienced after all and cannot take the lead, so they are willing to exchange the easier work for us." Zhong Han said with a smile.Gu Xiaofan curled her lips. Although from her impression of Zhong Han these days, he did not have any problems of being unfamiliar with the environment and not being able to perform well, but she was the most aggrieved. She was involved for no reason and was accused of being inexperienced. This really made her want to cry without tears."Then what did you say? You refused, right?" Gu Xiaofan vaguely heard a few words from Zhong Han before he hung up the phone, so she guessed that he should not have accepted such an arrangement.Zhong Han nodded: "Yes, I told Captain Yang that there is no need for this. City A is new to me, but I am not a rookie. And just because I am new, how can I be afraid of heavy things as soon as I come, don't you think so?""Yes, yes, but why didn't you mention me? Can you clear my name?" Gu Xiaofan felt that Zhong Han was a little bit disloyal. If she received a call from the captain, she would definitely speak for him in addition to speaking for herself.Zhong Han looked at her innocently and spread his hands: "I think the part about you is quite objective. It seems that there is nothing to be cleared up, right?"Gu Xiaofan pursed her lips and glared at him. She couldn't find anything else to say. Those words were not said by Zhong Han. He just expressed his agreement. Since his old colleagues had given such an evaluation of him, and Zhong Han had been dealing with him for a shorter time, how could he expect others to vindicate him?"Do you want to know who said those things about your lack of experience?" Seeing that Gu Xiaofan acquiesced to this matter, Zhong Han suddenly came over and asked.Gu Xiaofan glanced at his bad expression and shook his head decisively: "No.""It's really strange! I thought that you women would try every means to find out who the other person is when you hear that someone is saying bad things about you behind your back!" Zhong Han seemed a little surprised by such an answer."Why bother? Anyway, the words have been spoken, whether they are known or not, they can't be taken back. If they know, it will be awkward and uncomfortable to deal with each other in the future." Gu Xiaofan waved his hand, "No need, anyway, it must be because I didn't do well enough that people would find faults with me. I might as well improve myself.""You are really a good person." Zhong Han gave Gu Xiaofan a thumbs up, and before Gu Xiaofan smiled back at him, he added, "You deserve to be eaten to death."Gu Xiaofan was a little upset after being poured a basin of cold water on his head. He pouted and didn't want to continue this topic, so he asked Zhong Han: "Are we going to the communication company now?"Zhong Han looked at his watch and suddenly had an idea: "Forget it, it's noon. Let's go, have lunch first, I'll treat you to hot pot.""Why eat hot pot? Isn't it better to eat something casually?" Gu Xiaofan asked confusedly.Zhong Han didn't say anything, and walked towards the parking lot with big strides.The car belonged to Zhong Han, and he was the driver. Gu Xiaofan felt that she didn't have much room to refuse, and she was also a well-known person who was easy to feed and never picky about food. So since Zhong Han insisted on eating hot pot, she didn't raise any more objections.On the way to lunch, Gu Xiaofan took out her mobile phone and found that Ni Ran had sent her a message in the morning. At that time, she might have been at Ren Yumeng's house, facing Leng Hui who was crying and laughing, so she didn't hear any notification sound.If Ni Ran hadn't replied to this message, Gu Xiaofan almost forgot that she had sent her a text message before, telling her that Gao Xuan seemed unhappy in the morning."Silly girl, which man would like the girl he cares about to praise other opposite sex in front of him? The more unhappy he is because of this, the more it shows that he is interested in you in his heart."After reading the words sent by Ni Ran, Gu Xiaofan smiled secretly with his lips pursed, and his heart was happy.Zhong Han secretly glanced at her while driving. Seeing her holding her phone and reading text messages and laughing, he seemed a little helpless. He shook his head and sighed.Soon, the two arrived at the hot pot restaurant selected by Zhong Han. After asking, they found out that this restaurant did not have small pots or seafood hot pots commonly seen in other hot pot restaurants. There were only hot pots of varying degrees of spiciness. Zhong Han gave the choice to Gu Xiaofan, who simply chose the spiciest soup base in this restaurant.But after a meal, Gu Xiaofan felt more and more strange. First of all, the taste of this hot pot restaurant was really average. Secondly, as the person who took the initiative to arrange to eat hot pot, Zhong Han actually ate very little for this meal. If she had not always been more unpretentious in eating, other girls would have been embarrassed to pick up their chopsticks after seeing Zhong Han's absent-minded look when eating.Finally, before finishing the meal and leaving, Gu Xiaofan couldn't resist his curiosity and questioned Zhong Han: "What's the matter with you? You were the one who insisted on eating hot pot, and you were the one who chose this restaurant. How come you are the one who doesn't eat much in the end?""Because I can't eat spicy food." Zhong Han replied.Such a reason obviously couldn't be accepted by Gu Xiaofan: "Then why didn't you say it earlier? I can choose a slightly spicy soup base. Besides, if you are afraid of spicy food, why did you choose this hot pot restaurant that doesn't have a non-spicy soup base?""It doesn't matter whether it's slightly spicy or the spiciest. I'm not hungry anyway."Zhong Han raised his hand to signal the waiter to come and pay the bill while saying that he didn't want to continue discussing the issue with Gu Xiaofan. After paying the money, he left. Gu Xiaofan had to follow him out. When they reached the door, the waiter guarding the door immediately opened the door for them, stuffed something into Zhong Han's hand, and said loudly to send him away.After getting in the car, Zhong Han suddenly asked Gu Xiaofan: "Do you know what Tang Hongye and the others are busy with recently, besides the two of us and Tang Li?""It seems that someone picked up a piece of paper with three names, murder methods, and tools needed for murder written on it. They were afraid that something might happen, so they handed it over to the Public Security Bureau. Tang Hongye and Gao Xuan have been investigating whether there are any murder cases with the same content as the one recorded on the paper." Gu Xiaofan thought about it and vaguely remembered that before Zhong Han was transferred here, when she hadn't started to get busy, Gao Xuan and Tang Hongye seemed to have received the task and started to investigate the matter."Are there any progress?" Zhong Han nodded after listening and asked again.Gu Xiaofan shook his head: "I haven't heard them talk about it. I did hear Tang Hongye complain a few times before, saying that this kind of investigation is likely to be a waste of time. If we don't investigate, we are afraid that something will really happen, and then it will be considered dereliction of duty. But if we investigate further, then a so-called "murder plan" really doesn't explain anything. It might just be a prank, and then it will be a waste of time. At that time, Gao Xuan asked Tang Hongye to complain less and do more, and Tang Hongye didn't say anything else.""Murder plan?" Zhong Han seemed to find it very interesting. He laughed a few times. When he started the car, he threw the things that the waiter at the door handed to him to Gu Xiaofan, "Don't you like this thing the most? I'll give it to you."Gu Xiaofan reached out to catch it and found that it was two candies, with transparent wrapping paper, white and round sugar balls, and a faint mint smell."Huh?" She looked at the mint candy in her hand with some surprise, and took out the remaining three mint candies from her pocket. She found that except for the wrapping paper becoming a little old in her pocket, they were exactly the same."I ate two of yours, and I'll give you two back. Our accounts are settled." Zhong Han said to her."How do you know that they had dinner here before?" Gu Xiaofan couldn't help asking curiously, feeling a little strange in her heart. Just now, Ni Ran was still encouraging herself in a text message, saying that Gao Xuan's reaction in the morning showed that he was interested in her, but in a blink of an eye, Zhong Han used facts to prove that what he said when answering Ni Ran's inquiry that night was correct. Those candies were actually gifts from the restaurant that Gao Xuan and his friends got after dinner."Wouldn't it be easy to find out after talking to Tang Hongye? He wouldn't work with Gao Xuan and eat separately, right?" Zhong Han answered, glancing at Gu Xiaofan, "I was right about the origin of 'camphor balls', how about it? Are you feeling particularly disappointed?""You are such a boring person, why should I feel disappointed?" Gu Xiaofan was stubborn and didn't want to admit it, but his heart did feel a little cold as if he had swallowed a mint candy.Neither of them said anything else and went straight to the communication company. Zhong Han did not directly report Leng Hui's number, but asked the staff there to help check how many different mobile phone numbers Ren Xuefeng had on his ID card. Soon the staff gave the answer. There were three mobile phone numbers under Ren Xuefeng's name. In addition to the number they had already transferred, there was also the number used by Leng Hui and another mobile phone number.Zhong Han asked the other party to print out Leng Hui's mobile phone number and the other number, and asked him to check where the number Leng Hui held for the last call came from.Soon he got the call records of these two numbers, and also found out where the number of the last call with Leng Hui came from - an insurance company in City A.
