The man wearing a black windbreaker
Today is Qiao Yan's first day reporting to Haicheng Public Security Bureau.
There are no motor vehicles on the island, and Qiao Yan has to walk for about 15 minutes from her residence to the pier, then take a ferry to the coastal urban area, which takes 5 minutes. The ferry runs every 10 minutes, and Qiao Yan arrived early, so she stretched out her legs listlessly, watching the crowded passengers, her calm black eyes shining like two clear pools in the sunlight.
She withdrew her gaze and involuntarily looked at the row of chairs opposite, where she was startled to see a man standing beside the long bench with his back to her. The black windbreaker-clad figure seemed eerily familiar. Qiao Yan stood up unconsciously, wanting to get a clear look at the man's face.
But the gate was open, the ferry had docked, and boarding had begun. The man quickly merged into the flow of people and soon disappeared from view.
Qiao Yan looked around in all directions after boarding the ship, but the space on the ship was too crowded, her gaze could not penetrate the wall of people to find the figure she wanted to find, and it was also difficult to find her after getting off the ship.
The building of the Municipal Public Security Bureau was majestic, with the national emblem on the gate shining brightly in the sunlight. Qiao Yan looked up at the national emblem, her eyes sparkling with a cold calmness. She took a deep breath, from today on, she would have a brand new identity - a crime scene investigator, engaging in a game of cat and mouse with the most vicious criminals.
Qiao Yan walked into the Criminal Investigation Comprehensive Building, a building that integrates functions such as office, meeting, DNA laboratory and others. She didn't bother to wait for the elevator and went straight up the stairs to the fifth floor where the Special Investigation Unit's office was located. The Special Investigation Unit is a newly established department under the Municipal Public Security Bureau's Criminal Police Branch.
Qiao Yan entered the office, only to find it empty. She was puzzled when she heard footsteps behind her. Turning around, she saw a small and unremarkable girl walking in, wearing casual sportswear, with messy short hair, sleepy eyes, and carrying a slanted shoulder bag, looking like a high school student.
She walked straight past Qiao Yan, pulled out a chair from in front of the office desk, took off her shoulder bag and casually threw it aside, plopped herself down on the chair, propped her arms on the table, and fell forward. Qiao Yan looked at her in stunned silence, wondering if this person had come to the office to sleep?
"Are you... Qiao Yan?" A slightly husky female voice sounded.
Qiao Yan turned her head and saw a woman in her forties, dressed in a professional suit, smiling warmly at her. "I am Zeng Jinyan, the leader of the Special Investigation Unit."
Zeng Jinying is a well-known expert in criminal psychology, a professor and doctoral supervisor at the Provincial Politics and Law University. She has long been committed to preventive work on criminal psychology and has conducted psychological investigations into suspects in many major cases, participating in dozens of difficult case investigations and psychological analysis.
This is a woman with great charm, although there are wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, but when she turns around, infinite tenderness flows out, and every move she makes exudes an unforgettable elegance.
"Hello, Professor Zeng," Qiao Yan greeted politely.
Zeng Jinying glanced at the girl who was sleeping on the table, and a hint of helplessness flashed in her eyes. "Not everyone is here yet, go report to the head of the criminal police brigade first and see what instructions he has."
Qiao Yan responded with a "good", turned around and was about to go out.
Zeng Jinying stopped her. "Qiao Yan", she paused before saying, "The captain has a somewhat eccentric temper, especially... towards women, you need to be mentally prepared."
