Chapter 30

Xie Yixin, on the surface, often argued with Fei Lun, but in reality, she cared about him a lot. Not long after they finished their phone call, she brought the entire team to Xiongji Noodle Shop.

Seeing them arrive, Fei Lun casually tossed a plastic bag into Xie Yixin's arms.

"What's this?" Xie Yixin asked as she opened the bag and saw the two pieces of meat that had been chewed to pieces.

"Based on my estimate, one is human flesh and the other is horse meat," Fei Lun shrugged. "But we'll need to test them to be sure."

"What?!" The members of the Serious Crime Unit were all shocked.

Xie Yixin asked further, "Where did you find these pieces of meat?"

Fei Lun pointed to Xiongji across the street: "I found them in the beef noodles from this shop. Actually, it was this young lady who first noticed them..."

"Ugh—"

Before Fei Lun could finish, Liang Xiaolin, who had heard about the human and horse meat, started vomiting violently, almost bringing up bile.

Fei Lun patted his forehead, speechless. He had been so focused on explaining the clue that he had dirtied Liang Xiaolin's ears. He quickly patted Liang Xiaolin's back, who was leaning against the car door: "Xiaolin, it's okay, it's okay. Once cooked, any kind of meat can be eaten!"

"Ugh—"

Liang Xiaolin, who had just started to feel better, vomited again at his words.

Xie Yixin glared at Fei Lun, slightly annoyed that he had made Liang Xiaolin feel sick. She wondered how he could distinguish between human and horse meat, did he really taste it? The thought made even her feel a bit nauseous.

Fei Lun continued to pat Liang Xiaolin's back and said to Xie Yixin, "Madam, we don't have enough evidence yet, so let's not alert them. Just keep an eye on this shop!"

"Rubbish! Do you think I don't know that? Do I need your advice?" Xie Yixin immediately ordered Dai Yan and the others to monitor the noodle shop and called the paparazzi over.

Seeing that Xie Yixin still remembered the morning incident, Fei Lun wisely kept quiet and continued to comfort Liang Xiaolin, who was still heaving and only had acid left in her stomach.

Suddenly, a male voice came from the side: "You scoundrel, you got my sister pregnant, and she's still a minor."

With a swift movement, Fei Lun heard the voice and slightly turned his head, dodging a huge fist that whizzed past his face. Although he knew the other person might have misunderstood, Fei Lun flicked the wrist of the attacking hand.

The man felt as if he had been struck by lightning, his entire hand went numb, and he quickly pulled it back. Fei Lun then turned around and saw a handsome and sunny young man, not much older than Liang Xiaolin, with a familiar face.

Fei Lun was only slightly stunned for a moment before he said, "Kid, I'm a police officer. Given that you might have misunderstood, I won't hold you accountable for your sneak attack. But if you try to hit me again after I say this, I'll have to take you to the station and charge you with assaulting a police officer!"

Xie Yixin quickly came to Fei Lun's side of the car, her hand reaching for her waist, ready to help.

The young man's eyes were full of surprise and shock: "Big brother, don't you recognize me?"

"Big brother?" Xie Yixin looked at Fei Lun in confusion.

"I don't know him!" Fei Lun said, spreading his hands. "But he looks familiar."

"Big brother, don't you remember me? I'm Hengzi!" The young man said excitedly.

Liang Xiaolin, who had slightly recovered, said不满地: "Second brother, no one has gotten my stomach big, you're just misrecognizing big brothers again."

Hengzi said, "Third sister, I'm not misrecognizing big brothers. This big brother is the kind person who saved my sister and me years ago!"

Liang Xiaolin's eyes widened instantly: "Could it be the time you and sister almost had a car accident?"

"That's right!"

After listening to this, Fei Lun also recalled the past and smiled: "Oh, so you're the little brother who wanted to give me money to treat my injuries back then!"

Hengzi quickly introduced himself: "Big brother, hello, my name is Liang Zhiheng. My sister has been looking for you, the savior, all these years. I never thought we would meet here."

Liang Zhiheng glanced at the Ferrari 550 Fei Lun was in and realized that his action of giving money to Fei Lun back then was indeed rash: "Big brother, I don't even know your name yet!"

Before Fei Lun could speak, Liang Xiaolin, who had recovered, said playfully: "Second brother, you don't even know the name of your savior? That's pretty lame! His name is Fei Lun, a very stingy and petty police officer!"

Fei Lun, who was not petty but disliked being taken advantage of, glanced at Liang Xiaolin and sneered: "I wonder who was so hungry that they swallowed a piece of rotten meat whole."

Hearing this, Liang Xiaolin leaned against the door and vomited violently again.

Liang Zhiheng, who had already learned that his sister's stomach wasn't big, was puzzled: "Big brother Fei, what's wrong with my sister?"

"It's nothing, she just ate something unclean," Fei Lun waved his hand.

Xie Yixin, who was standing nearby, noticed something and leaned close to Fei Lun's ear and whispered, "Aren, isn't this the young lady who ate the beef noodles from that shop?"

Fei Lun's lips curled up, but he managed to hold back a laugh: "That's why I found this noodle shop. Otherwise, what do you think?" He then patted Liang Xiaolin's back lightly, "Xiaolin, you'll need to go to the station to give a statement, explaining how you found the rotten meat, so it can be used as evidence in court."

Liang Xiaolin, who had already vomited most of her stomach contents, felt another wave of nausea at his words. Liang Zhiheng, standing nearby, added fuel to the fire: "Big brother Fei, that's right, cooperation between the police and the public! Xiaolin, did you hear that? Go to the station and explain how you got food poisoning..."

"Ugh—"

Liang Xiaolin vomited another pool of acid.

"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore!" Fei Lun said, "Madam, although I don't have high hopes, let's still send the plastic bag for testing."

"Okay," Xie Yixin nodded in agreement. Just as she was about to drive away, her phone rang.

After the call, Xie Yixin's face turned grim, and she said to Fei Lun, "Aren, the deputy head of the Complaints and Internal Investigation Department, Inspector Weiming, just called and asked you to return to headquarters."

"What for?" Fei Lun was surprised.

"Just go when he calls, it's not going to be good," Xie Yixin complained.

Fei Lun rolled his eyes and said, "Madam, could you please take Liang Xiaolin back to the station to give a statement? The testing will have to be delayed. There's not much to test anyway, it's all cooked, and there won't be much to find."

Xie Yixin nodded and, along with Liang Zhiheng, helped the dejected Liang Xiaolin out of the Ferrari.

Liang Zhiheng didn't immediately get into Xie Yixin's car but came back and said, "Big brother Fei, I heard Madam talking about the complaint. My parents know a lot of people in the police force. Should I talk to them and have them put in a good word for you?"

Fei Lun waved his hand and laughed, "No need, it's a complaint, and no one's word will help." But he added in his mind, unless your mother is Ling Shu, maybe it would help.

Indeed, the Complaints and Internal Investigation Department was under the supervision of the Regulatory Affairs Department, so this time Fei Lun was in the hands of Ling Shu, who he didn't get along with.

Hopefully, the beautiful and mature woman didn't know about the complaint or wouldn't hold a grudge. Fei Lun thought as he drove back to the headquarters.

Unfortunately, things didn't go as he hoped. When Fei Lun arrived at the Complaints Department, not only was Deputy Head Zhong Weiming there, but Ling Shu was also waiting. Her cold and beautiful face, combined with her well-proportioned figure in a white police uniform, was very... seductive.

After they were seated, Ling Shu got straight to the point, "PI Fei, were you on duty yesterday?"

Zhong Weiming was taken aback by this question. He was supposed to conduct the interview today, but Ling Shu had taken over and asked such a strange question. He couldn't understand the situation. Fei Lun, however, knew that Ling Shu was mocking him, and it seemed this beautiful and mature woman held a grudge.

"Yes, I was on duty. What's the matter?"

"Someone has complained about your inappropriate behavior and use of foul language in front of Xingnan Grand Hotel. How do you explain that?" Ling Shu asked with a righteous tone, but she felt a rare sense of satisfaction. This emotion made her slightly embarrassed and even more resentful of Fei Lun, who was ten years younger but gave her different feelings.

Fei Lun, facing Ling Shu's questioning, was unusually calm. He shrugged and countered, "Madam, I think you should prepare your questions better and just ask if it's true or not."

Ling Shu was taken aback and then slammed her hand on the table, "I'm asking for a reasonable explanation, not a yes or no answer."

Fei Lun sneered, "It seems Madam has become more rational!"

"Hmph!" Ling Shu let out a nasal sound, trying hard not to be provoked by Fei Lun.

Zhong Weiming, standing nearby, was confused. She had just slammed her hand on the table, and this was rational? No, Madam Ling was usually calm and rarely lost her temper. What was going on today?

Seeing that neither of his superiors was speaking, and all the necessary questions had been asked, Zhong Weiming signaled to Fei Lun, "PI Fei, you can leave now. We will review your complaint and give you a conclusion."

"YES, SIR!" Fei Lun stood up and saluted, then said to Ling Shu, "Goodbye, Madam!" and left the room.

More serious complaints would be handled by the Independent Police Complaints Council in conjunction with the senior management of the Regulatory Affairs Department. However, for a minor complaint like Fei Lun's, the Complaints Department would usually make an initial conclusion, which would then be reviewed and approved by the council. So, as soon as Fei Lun left, Zhong Weiming asked, "Madam, what do you think of this complaint?"
