After I Sat At The Wrong Table For My Blind Date, The Crazy Female Lead Kidnapped Me - Chapter 37

Chapter 37: First-Class Police Officer

The next day.

A group of authoritative psychiatrists conducted a thorough examination on He Xiao.

Diagnosis: Dissociative Identity Disorder!

Shortly after, the police announced the major case of the family massacre and dismemberment was solved.

After all the twists and turns, the suspect remained the same from the beginning!

On the way back to the Criminal Investigation Division.

Xiao Yu thought gloomily, is it my fault?

If I hadn’t discovered the incorrect timing, would all these troubles have come up?

But even if I hadn’t discovered it, He Xiao would have found a way to make the police notice.

Who would have thought that one body could house two ‘souls’?

And the lie detector, even such evidence could be used by the suspect, who would have imagined?

Back at the Criminal Investigation Division, Xiao Yu was called to the division chief’s office.

“Our hero is back.”

Zhao Changshan had a big smile on his face, “This time you did a great job!”

The case was solved, and the news spread within the police system.

Moreover, it was solved by a trainee officer.

Xiao Yu’s name spread throughout the system.

The Criminal Investigation Division was the happiest.

The case happened in their jurisdiction; if it remained unsolved, the division would be in big trouble!

If this continues, I’m going to have a big headache… Xiao Yu felt a toothache.

Achieving great merit isn’t scary.

What’s scary is that the merit is too great and doesn’t match your rank, easily causing jealousy.

Xiao Yu is still a trainee officer, not formally established yet.

Solving major cases one after another, what would the senior investigators think? What would the higher-ups think?

If you’re too capable, it makes others look incompetent, and you might offend people unintentionally!

“Your formal appointment has come through.”

Zhao Changshan seemed to know what Xiao Yu was thinking, he took out a document from his desk along with… a pair of shoulder epaulettes.

(translator’s note : Epaulette is a type of ornamental shoulder piece or decoration used as insignia of rank by armed forces and other organizations.)

Xiao Yu’s eyes widened.

The formal appointment didn’t surprise him.

What surprised him were the two epaulettes, each with two four-pointed stars.

First-Class Police Officer!

Most of the time, when a trainee officer is formally appointed, the epaulette only has one four-pointed star, Second-Class Police Officer.

What’s going on?

“Your personal third-class merit has also been approved!”

Zhao Changshan took out a small red box and an honor certificate, handing them to the stunned Xiao Yu.

The warehouse murder case has been concluded?

If this continues, my headache will suddenly disappear again… Xiao Yu took the red box and slowly opened it.

Inside lay a shiny golden medal.

It’s not made of gold; the third-class merit medal is made of bronze.

First-class merit, pure gold.

Second-class merit, pure silver.

Third-class merit, pure bronze.

The material of the medal has nothing to do with the merit it represents.

This is the state’s recognition of your personal achievements.

With merit, the promotion in police rank follows naturally.

From today onwards.

Xiao Yu became an official people’s police officer!

“This is just for the warehouse murder case.”

Zhao Changshan patted Xiao Yu’s shoulder, his expression serious, “The merit for the major dismemberment case is too big. When the case is closed, at the very least, you’ll get another third-class merit, maybe even… second-class!”

Xiao Yu’s expression remained calm, as expected.

How many major cases like this appear each year?

After solving such a big case, starting with a third-class merit is quite normal.

When the merit is awarded after closing the case, Xiao Yu’s police rank might be elevated again.

It would be Police Superintendent then… Xiao Yu felt a bit emotional.

How old was I when I became a superintendent in my past life?

Looking at Xiao Yu’s calm expression, Zhao Changshan felt a bit strange.

He remembered how excited he was when he first got formally appointed, like a happy child.

Despite being promoted exceptionally for solving several major cases.

It still took him four years to rise from a second-class officer to a superintendent.

And Xiao Yu?

From joining the police force as a trainee to formal appointment and then to superintendent.

It might take less than a month.

To remain so calm, this level of mental strength is a bit terrifying!

“Master, thank you!”

Xiao Yu sincerely expressed his gratitude as he put away the medal.

Indeed, he had to be thankful.

Having a good superior who stands up for you.

An average superior might suppress you.

Even getting formally appointed could be a hurdle.

“You said you wanted to stay in the division.” Zhao Changshan said with a smile.

“Did I say that?” Xiao Yu blinked.

“Hahaha!” Both laughed heartily.

Zhao Changshan was genuinely happy; he had a talented subordinate.

Xiao Yu was also very happy, not just for the formal appointment but also for the merit.

At the end of the day.

Zhao Changshan waved his hand, and the entire division didn’t have to work overtime.

Xiao Yu took the opportunity to announce that he would treat everyone to a meal.

Post-appointment, new colleagues treating old colleagues is a basic tradition.

At a nearby restaurant, everyone who could attend was there.

Except for those who had to be on duty, everyone had a bit of alcohol.

Celebrating Xiao Yu’s formal appointment, his merit, and to foster camaraderie.

Everyone had sharp eyes and clear minds.

Xiao Yu’s abilities were evident; solving major cases in a few days after joining the division.

Such a person is destined to soar in the future!

The dinner lasted until ten in the evening when Zhao Changshan stood up, “Xiao Xiao just got married, let’s call it a day!”

Only then did everyone disperse.

Although Xiao Yu was clear-headed, he was a bit drunk.

Until Mu Qingwu came to the restaurant to pick him up.

Xiao Yu, a bit unsteady, fell into his sister’s arms…
