Chapter 169 School is about to start
Lin Xi said sternly, "No, it's so late. I'll give you ten minutes to change your clothes, hurry up!"
Gu Zheng looked miserable and resignedly changed into sportswear and running shoes.
Next, he witnessed his junior sister's extraordinary physical strength. She ran like a gust of wind, lapping him again and again.
This is thanks to the system's daily encouragement. Boxing is much more tiring than running. It requires a high degree of mental concentration and the activation of all muscles in the body, unlike running, where you can mechanically run for a long time as long as you master the right pace and breathing method.
Just as Gu Zheng was panting heavily and exhausted, Lin Xi slowed down, "Second Senior Brother, your breathing method is wrong. Come on, learn from me, straighten your back, inhale... inhale... inhale..."
Gu Zheng rolled his eyes. It was really abnormal that he still had the energy to talk after running for so long. However, following his junior sister's instructions, he did feel much better.
Half an hour later, Lin Xi stopped first, and Gu Zheng's face lit up with joy. Then he heard his junior sister say, "Second senior brother, you run first, I'll watch you."
According to Xiao Yi's scientific calculations, he can run for half an hour at his age. Although his older brother doesn't run often, he exercises regularly and is in good physical condition, so running for another half hour wouldn't be a problem for him.
With no one to accompany him, Gu Zheng lost his motivation and started whining that he needed to rest. Lin Xi stretched while checking her watch, "Second Senior Brother, I want to see you here in ten minutes."
"Junior sister, I really can't run anymore."
"Ten kilometers is ten kilometers, don't worry, you won't be exhausted, let's get running!"
Gu Zheng felt like an ancient slave, and Lin Xi was the landlord who exploited the slave with a whip. But he also knew that his junior sister was doing it for his own good. If he didn't run away now, he would really have to risk his life to escape once he went to H country.
He lifted his heavy steps and continued running around the neighborhood.
Ten minutes later, he saw Lin Xi sitting on a stone stool, looking at a book she had pulled out from somewhere. He was impressed, completely impressed. No wonder his master favored his junior sister; he had never seen such a motivated person.
Twenty minutes later, Lin Xi looked up and said, "Second Senior Brother, you slacked off and were five minutes slow. If you do this again next time, you'll have to run two more kilometers."
Gu Zheng wanted to curse him as a pervert, but he was too tired to speak.
After finally finishing the ten-kilometer run, Gu Zheng lay down on the ground, panting heavily. Lin Xi pulled him up, saying, "You can't just rest now, get up and stretch."
Gu Zheng, limp as a lump of mud, resignedly got up. This was only the first day; how was he going to survive the rest?! Had he lost his mind? Why did he have to go to H country? Fine, he really had lost his mind!
After stretching, Gu Zheng felt like his legs weren't even his own anymore. Lin Xi closed the book and said, "Second Senior Brother, you continue your so-called pig-slaughtering desensitization training during the day, and wait for me to come back to practice boxing tonight."
"Lin Xi! You are a devil!"
From that day on, Gu Zheng began a life of misery, wanting to run away whenever he saw Lin Xi, his eyes filled with fear.
Lin Xi waited at home for a long time, but Yan Feng didn't come to pick her up, so she took the bus to the police station by herself.
The usually bustling police station was unusually quiet today, with not a single person in sight.
After searching for most of the day, I finally spotted someone – the only idle person there, Director Niu.
"Director Niu, where are the others?"
Niu Lanshan leisurely sipped his tea. "Didn't you write a whole page of names of murderers yesterday? They've all gone out to arrest them. We don't have enough manpower, so we've sent out all the clerical staff."
"Okay, Director Niu, give me the key to the archives room, I'll go by myself."
Niu Lanshan tossed her a key and continued to happily sip his tea. Ah, life is so wonderful. Having Lin Xi is great. Being the bureau chief is so stress-free. Ma Zhaoqian still wants to borrow Lin Xi? No way.
However, after a few days he changed his mind.
Lin Xiyi was eager to earn Love Coins, and she also gained a great sense of accomplishment from solving each case, so she spent all her time in the archives.
She didn't need anyone to pick her up or drop her off, and of course, no one was available to do so. Every day after supervising Gu Zheng, she would take the bus to the police station, go straight to Director Niu's office to get the key, and start reviewing the case files.
Write down any ideas you have and leave them in Director Niu's office before you leave. Mark any ideas you don't have and come back to review them later when you have the chance.
Director Niu was very relaxed on the first day, a little busy on the second day, didn't have time to drink tea on the third day, stayed up all night on the fourth day and got dark circles under his eyes, and on the fifth day when he saw Lin Xi arrive on time, he half-opened his bloodshot eyes and said, "Little Xi, do you want to take a rest?"
Lin Xi was in high spirits and full of fighting spirit. "No need, Director Niu. The sooner we solve the case, the sooner we can give the victim's family an explanation. They have been waiting for too long."
One sentence made Niulanshan feel ashamed. He silently handed the key to Lin Xi, then refilled his coffee and continued writing.
The case wasn't over once the murderer was caught; there was still a ton of paperwork to write. The police station was now doing the work of two people, and there was a severe shortage of manpower. This task ultimately fell to Niu Lanshan, who was always idle and wrote paperwork every day, leaving him dizzy and exhausted.
Others who went out on fieldwork worked even harder, losing several pounds from running around, and the interrogators even lost their voices.
The entire police station was forced to open up because of Lin Xi.
Gu Zheng: Me too!
He runs ten kilometers every morning, practices boxing for an hour every night, and slaughters pigs during the day. He has never worked this hard in his life.
Just when everyone was about to collapse from exhaustion, something saved them all: Lin Xi started school!
Thank you to Principal Dong Yongshu of No. 1 Middle School!
Niu Lanshan shed tears with mixed feelings, feeling a sense of relief at finally being able to rest, as well as gratitude towards Lin Xi.
Through Lin Xizi's tireless efforts and strict supervision, the case files had been reviewed up to ten years ago. The Danbei Police Station not only received high praise from its superiors but also recognition from the people, with banners hanging all over the office.
The other officers practically worshipped Lin Xi like a goddess. When they learned that she was going to start school and wouldn't be coming for a while, they had mixed feelings, just like Niulanshan.
It would be a lie to say I wasn't tired during this period. I've never been this tired since I started working as a police officer, but I've also never been this happy. I solved several cases in a row every day. I didn't have to do anything else. I just walked in and started making arrests. I caught them every time. The credit was like it was free.
I need to rest now; I'm still not used to it.
On Lin Xi's last day before leaving, everyone saluted in unison, their expressions solemn and serious, including Niu Lanshan.
Lin Xi returned the greeting with a standard gesture, then handed Yan Feng a piece of paper. Yan Feng's eyelids twitched; he really couldn't hold back any longer. "What's this?"
"It's not a list of murderers, it's just a case I haven't solved yet. I have a slight idea of what's going on, you can try to investigate it."
"Okay, don't worry, I'll keep investigating."
After putting the paper away, Yan Feng said, "I'll take you home."
Lin Xi's eyes darted around, and she looked at Wu Zheng. "Brother Wu Zheng, can you take me home? There's something I want to talk to you about."
School is about to start, and without someone to keep an eye on him, things won't go well. Knowing his personality, he'll definitely slack off.
After much thought, Wu Zheng was the most suitable candidate.
On the bus, "Brother Wu Zheng, could you stay at my second senior brother's house for a while?"
Wu Zheng had driven a short distance when he suddenly braked as if in response to an emergency.
