Honestly speaking, Chen Hui wanted to help Lin Rong solve the poisoning case, if not, when he found out the truth of the matter from the very beginning, Chen Hui would not have kept it a secret and only told Lin Rong about it. The reason why he did this, was to allow Lin Rong to handle the case secretly, and hopefully to completely solve the case.
However, Chen Hui still had a clear understanding of himself, and that was all he could do. Allowing him to secretly investigate the poison in the school, Chen Hui didn't think he had that much ability.
However, Chen Hui had no experience handling this case. If he agreed to Lin Rong's request to help her with this case in school, the focus of this case, or to directly say, whether or not this case could be solved, would entirely depend on Chen Hui's investigation.
Lin Rong also did not say anything, but just stood there with her hands on her cheeks and blinked her beautiful eyes as she looked at Chen Hui.
It had to be said that Lin Rong's beautiful face was flushed red, especially when she was already slightly drunk. This kind of Lin Rong was extremely attractive, to people, and they couldn't detect her fiery temper at all.
”How does Mayor Zhang know how to handle cases?” Chen Hui couldn't bear Lin Rong's gaze any longer, so when he opened his mouth to speak, he changed the topic a little.
”Before he became mayor, he was the director of Municipal Bureau.” Lin Rong laughed and said: ”And before I became the Chief of Municipal Bureau, I was born into criminal investigation, so I have a lot of experience in handling cases.”
”No wonder!” Chen Hui said with an expression of sudden enlightenment.
picked up the bottle on the table and poured a glass of beer for Chen Hui, then said: ”Don't change the topic, Mayor Zhang's meaning is very clear, he is reminding me that in the next step of this case, there is only one way to solve the case, which is to close the case openly, and continue to investigate in secret. The person to investigate in secret cannot be the police, but only has an identity that doesn't attract suspicion, and you are the most suitable candidate!”
Chen Hui did not speak, and quietly drank the beer in his cup.
Lin Rong poured wine for Chen Hui as she advised: ”You were the one who found out the truth about this case at the very beginning, and you also provided us police officers with the most useful clues. Could it be that you really want to see the truth about this case, to sink like a stone into the ocean, to never be able to solve this case?”
”Officer Lin …” Chen Hui said.
Before Chen Hui could finish his words, he was stopped by Lin Rong who said: ”Just shout my name!”
It was clear that Lin Rong was trying to pull him closer to Chen Hui.
”Alright, Lin Rong!” Chen Hui did not reject, and immediately changed her way of addressing Lin Rong: ”It's not that I don't want to agree, but it's just that I have a heavy responsibility and don't have any experience in handling cases, for this matter, I promised you, it's equivalent to giving you my hope, and as long as I can't investigate anything, your disappointment will increase, I am not a person who can easily make promises, I am unable to confirm what I can do, and will definitely not agree.”
Hearing Chen Hui's words, Lin Rong's face was filled with disappointment.
Chen Hui wanted to advise, but was unable to, because Lin Rong's disappointment had originated from him.
”Let's not talk anymore, let's drink!” Lin Rong was quiet for a while, then poured another beer for Chen Hui and poured another beer for himself. He clinked his wine cup with Chen Hui and said: ”It's fine if you don't agree, I'll think of another way.”
Chen Hui did not say anything more, as long as Lin Rong did not continue asking him to help her with the investigation, drinking wine with Lin Rong was nothing.
However, although Chen Hui had drank before, it was the first time he had tasted white wine and beer. He only felt that this thing's taste was not bad, and that it was a little bloated.
Without discussing the case, the meal had become a true meal. Lin Rong was already a little tipsy to begin with, but now she was trying to persuade Chen Hui to drink more.
Chen Hui did not agree with Lin Rong's words, but Lin Rong was disappointed. She was feeling a little guilty, and after Lin Rong suggested him to drink, she and Lin Rong had already drunk a lot, and their tongues were about to burst.
