The next morning, Ren Yi went to Hongwu Public Security Bureau to report.

This branch is not far from their fire brigade. Although it does not belong to his jurisdiction, it has some contacts and contacts. He doesn't know when there was a person named Gong Yingxian here.

At the branch office, he met someone who invited him to assist in the investigation - Song Bei.

Song Bei is an old policeman, now the captain of the Third Squadron of the Criminal Investigation Detachment of Hongwu Branch, and looks very kind.

Ren Yi stretched out his hand: "Captain Song."

"Hello, Captain Ren, sit down."

The two shook hands, Ren Yi sat down, and he looked around the office. The glass was translucent and could see people coming and going outside.

Song Bei smiled and said, "Please trouble Captain, come here on a hot day."

"You are welcome. You are an elder. It is logical that I should tell you that you can just call me Xiao Ren, but you also know my last name, which is a bit embarrassing."

Song Bei laughed: "So I'll call you captain."

Ren Yi smiled and said, "Listen to our Chief of Staff, is there any reversal of the case of jumping off the building?"

"Yes, we were going to close the case by suicide, but recently there has been a new situation, which may be related to an economic case, so I would like to ask you to assist in the investigation. After all, you knew the scene better at that time."

Ren Yi nodded: "I was impressed."

He remembered that it was midnight, and it was almost four o'clock when people entered deep sleep. Suddenly, a police report came. A few young people who had just returned from a dance show found a person strung on the iron fence of the first-floor villa courtyard in the community, and blood flowed along the downhill trail to the entrance of the community.

When the fire truck arrived, people were still angry. They cut the fence and sent the ambulance to the hospital with the fence, but they died before they reached the hospital.

They all thought it was suicide, but they didn't expect that the case had changed in the past two months.

Firefighters and police have always cooperated closely, because in many accidents, firefighters are the first to arrive at the scene. In order to rescue people or property, they often make inevitable damage to the scene, especially fires.

Song Bei spread the photos on the scene in front of Ren Yi and helped him recall: "I have read your police report. Think about it, what other special details are there."

Ren Yi tried his best to restore everything he saw at that time based on his memory.

Song Bei asked a lot of questions seriously, and the two sat in the conference room for more than two hours.

Suddenly, Song Bei said curiously: "Are you looking at an acquaintance?"

"Ah? What?"

Song Bei raised his chin: "I see you looking out the window as soon as someone passes by."

"Uh, sorry." Ren Yi was extremely embarrassed. He slid his hair and immediately spitted on him. Why did he feel inexplicably nervous when he thought that he might meet Gong Yingxian? It was not him who was in the wrong.

Song Bei looked at the watch: "Oh, it's noon, sorry for delaying you for so long. I'll treat you to a meal."

"No, this is all right. You are busy too. My squadron is close to me. I went back to eat."

"Why are you so embarrassed? Let's go. There is a restaurant nearby. It just so happens that I want to hear your father's story. I've heard of Daming for a long time."

Ren Yi smiled and said, "Then I'm not polite."

"Go for a walk."

When the two walked out of the conference room and passed by the office area, they saw the people walking out, and only one of them walked in the direction of the crowd.

Gong Yingxian!

Ren Yi raised his eyebrows and saw Gong Yingxian wearing a clever and slim suit, wearing two long legs, walking towards him, wearing white gloves holding a plain paper bag in his hand.

The two of them met with each other, and a surprise flashed through Gong Yingxian's eyes.

Gong Yingxian of the Northern Dynasty of Song Dynasty nodded: "Xiaogong, let's have a meal."

Gong Yingxian also nodded: "Captain Song." He glanced at Ren Yi, as if he was looking at a stranger.

"Come on, let me introduce it. This is the young and promising captain of the Phoenix Fire Brigade. Ren Yi, here is to assist us in investigating the jumping case of the building. Captain Ren, this is the top student we just came last year, a doctor of chemistry at MIT, Gong Yingxian."

It was all this time, but Song Bei stopped shaking hands. Instead, he stared at each other and said in confusion: "You know each other?"

“Don’t know.”

The two of them said in unison, speaking so fast that they seemed to be afraid that they would lose if they said it slowly.

Song Bei touched his chin.

Ren Yi said: "Captain Song, let's go, I'm really hungry."

"Oh, let's go."

When Gong Yingxian walked away, Song Bei smiled and said, "How is it? Didn't you expect that there was a policeman who looked like a star in our branch? On the day he came, we lesbians almost went crazy."

"Well... I didn't expect that he was your subordinate?"

"Yes, the amazing young man is just a little... withdrawn."

Ren Yi thought to himself that the adjective "introduction" was too polite. He asked, "Why are everyone walking out, just him walking in?"

"It's noon, everyone goes to the cafeteria for dinner, hehe." Song Bei shook his head, "He won't eat with us."

"Why?"

"He is a cleanliness, and only eats what he brings."

"You can be a criminal policeman even if you are so incompatible?"

"It embraces all rivers." Song Bei pointed his temples, "He is very smart, can fight, has great courage, has many resources, and we need all kinds of talents."

Ren Yi couldn't help but complain, maybe it was donating instruments for him.

"And there is a reason why he is so incompatible, and he can understand."

"Oh? What's the reason?"

Song Bei smiled, obviously not going to say much. Ren Yi didn't ask any more. After all, it had nothing to do with him, and it would be so suspicious if he asked too much.

----

After dinner, Ren Yi took the time to go home, had afternoon tea with his father before returning to the squadron.

As soon as he arrived at the squadron, Qu Yangbo called him to the office.

There were three people sitting on the sofa in the office, two men and one woman. As soon as he entered the room, all three of them stood up.

The two men are nothing special. The only girl is tall and has short hair like a boy. Although she has a good look, she does not show the tenderness of a woman, but looks heroic.

Before Ren Yi could speak, the three of them saluted in unison: "Hello captain."

Ren Yi also replied to the courtesy and looked at Qu Yangbo with confusion.

"Oh, this is the candidate firefighter I recruited for our squadron. Of course, you have to interview it yourself."

Ren Yi scanned the three of them and said, "Okay, that's a bit late today. You guys go back first, and I'll notify you of the interview time."

"Goodbye to the captain, goodbye to the instructor."

After the three left, Ren Yi stared at Qu Yangbo: "What are you thinking? Female soldier?"

"What's wrong with the female soldier?" Qu Yangbo shrugged, "Which document stipulates that female soldiers cannot be recruited?"

They are currently facing firefighting reform. The newly recruited military officers will be the last batch of active-duty armed police officers. By the end of the year, they will retire and turn to professionalism, from the Ministry of Public Security and Fire to the Ministry of Emergency Management. They will also recruit full-time firefighters.

They naturally give priority to those who have served in the fire brigade when they recruit firefighters. As the squadron leader, he has the ultimate human rights, while Qu Yangbo mainly does civil and political work and is responsible for early recruitment.

But he never expected that Qu Yangbo actually wanted to recruit a female firefighter.

Ren Yi frowned: "Is it convenient for more than 40 men in our squadron? Dear Comrade Bobo."

"Calm down first, dear Comrade Yanyan." Qu Yangbo smiled with his signature smile, "In September, several people are going to be discharged from the army. We have only recruited three full-time staff in half a year, and the staff is far from enough."

"You can't do anything random if you don't have enough staff."

"Why are you messing around? Do you have any opinions on the female soldiers?"

"I have no objection to female soldiers, but do you think this industry is suitable for her? At least there were women around her when she was in the army. If she came here... I was thinking about her, would she know how difficult this road is to walk."

"I think she thought it was quite clear." Qu Yangbo pushed his glasses, "You didn't have an interview, so it's hard to deny her directly. Based on my contact, she is a qualified firefighter."

"Firefighters are going to the front line, and the front line is not suitable for women."

"You are discriminatory, prejudice."

"Don't use this to suppress me. You can ask several fire brigades across the country that have female soldiers. Is this a question of prejudice? This is a question of jobs."

"We are not ordinary squadrons, we are the special fire squadron, and we should have a broad mind. Oh, by the way, she is still your junior sister, and she also graduated from the fire command major of the Armed Police University."

This is the second time that Ren Yi has heard the four words "The sea embraces all rivers" today, but from Qu Yangbo's mouth, he smelled something different: "Yangbo, your mind should be clearer than me. Do you hear what you are talking about now? Are you hiding something from me?"

Qu Yangbo took off his glasses, wiped the lenses slowly, and put them on again: "When the restructuring is completed, the Propaganda Department will do a series of work to show the new image of the Ministry of Emergency Management to the people of the whole country. A heroic female firefighter, do you know how much attention it can attract to our squadron."

Ren Yi lowered his head: "There is such a good news, what your dad told you?"

"That's right."

Qu Yangbo is a child of a high-ranking official, and it seems that he has been destined to go on a career since he was born. Although they have been friends for many years and Qu Yangbo has helped him a lot, the two of them still have different opinions on many things.

Qu Yangbo patiently advised: "Ren Yi, I know you are worried that a girl is not suitable for such a dangerous job. Anyway, under your control, you treat her as a mascot, and you don't let her go on some scenes. She wants to be a firefighter, and we lack firefighters, and she can also add luster to our squadron. Isn't this a joy for everyone?"

Ren Yi looked directly at Qu Yangbo's slightly luminous lens, but couldn't see his eyes: "What if I don't agree?"

Qu Yangbo smiled faintly and said, "As an instructor, I always have a vote."
