"Chi Xia, you can't become a police officer."
The regret in the police academy counselor's eyes was clear, but Chi Xia wasn't surprised.
After waking up, police academy student Chi Xia found herself the only child of a fallen hero in the 1980s.
"Chi Xia, are you sure you want to join the criminal investigation team?"
Chi Xia came to her senses and nodded firmly. "Absolutely!"
This time, with the reputation of coming from a loyal and upstanding family, she finally got her wish.
In an era without surveillance cameras, when fingerprints were taken with ink pads and tracking depended on footwork, murders, mysteries, and crimes were everywhere. With a severe shortage of police officers, Criminal Investigation Team Six was formed to meet the need.
It didn't take long for these young officers, with an average age under twenty-five, to become a nightmare for the other teams.
Team One sat down to have a drink of water, and Team Six solved a case!
Team Two went home to get some sleep, and Team Six solved another case!
Team Three made a round of the public toilets, and Team Six solved yet another case!
Chi Xia's mother often pointed at her and screamed hysterically, "You're just like your father. There's something wrong with both of you!"
Chi Xia watched her quietly. Even though she disagreed, her expression didn't change in the slightest.
It wasn't until she transmigrated to the 1980s and Wen Xun appeared that she began to think her mother might have been right.
On Wen Xun's first day parachuted into Team Six, he peered through a half-open wooden door and saw Chi Xia squatting on a chair with a watermelon in her hands. She took a huge bite and said, "Captain Wen? He's just putting on an act!"
Wen Xun: ?
Chi Xia was the team's case-solving genius, with an unconventional mind and an easygoing manner. She kept her distance from him, perfectly embodying the words, "Don't bother me if we aren't close."
"Captain Wen, I've left the report here."
Chi Xia's gaze was distant and her tone strictly professional. She suppressed the heat in her blood, resisting the urge to tie up his hands and lock him away.
Wen Xun: Does she... seem to hate me?
Wen Xun got used to her distance, but one night after a case was closed, he happened to catch a glimpse of her gaze before she could rein it in. What churned in her eyes wasn't disgust.
His gentle smile froze on his face. "Comrade Chi Xia, what exactly do you have against me?"
Or rather, what exactly do you want to do to me?
