Chapter 612 Action
Perhaps because he has grown up now, Father Meng has slowly acquiesced to his little actions in private.

But, since you're willing to let him get involved in the case, then it's okay to take him along on the mission, right?

……

Meng Jixi looked at his father eagerly.

There were four big words written on his face: I want to go too.

……

What’s more, Master Xiao is also involved in this operation.

He had complicated emotions towards Master Xiao, but it was undeniable that he was very curious about Master Xiao, and some of the unusual things about him made him very concerned.

However, the other party hid everything too well, causing him to run into obstacles again and again and gain nothing.

……

"dad?"

Meng Jixi was extremely nervous because of his father's silence, but he looked very well behaved.

The unruly brow bones are gently laid under the forehead.

……

For a child who grew up under his father's iron fist, he naturally respects and fears his father.
I long for my father's approval, but I am also somewhat afraid of his serious expression.

……

In Meng Jixi's eyes, his father is as majestic as a mountain and a hero who catches bad guys.

The admiration I had as a child was supplemented with other things as I grew older.

It is the desire to catch up with my father and become like him.

He made a great wish deep in his heart: to be a hero like his father in the future.

……

Father Meng's face was solemn and cold, looking quite intimidating.

In fact, I am struggling inside.

His son's earnest gaze made it difficult for him to refuse. In the past few years, he had been keeping the boy under control, which had kept him "behaved" and not doing anything out of line.

However, it is not good to suppress it for too long.

My son is grown up now. Since he has decided to take this path, he can’t keep living in an ivory tower and not put theoretical knowledge into practice. It will only be paper talk.

His son is not such an unrealistic person.

……

Recently, he has gradually relaxed his control over his son.

Some things he was not allowed to do before are no longer prohibited.

Looking at his son's smiling face, he felt both angry and amused.

However, he never thought of taking his son on the mission.

After all, my son is still a student, not a regular police officer.

It would be "unreasonable" for him to follow.

Master Xiao is an external aid, so with what identity does this kid follow them to investigate the case?
Thinking of this, Father Meng's wavering heart became firm again, "No."

……

A very familiar answer.

Meng Jixi didn't even feel angry, he just felt that it was as expected.

But, after all, I still feel a little unwilling.

Father Meng's indulgence during this period gave him some illusions that he would get a different answer this time.

In the end, he was overthinking it.

……

"why?"

Meng Jixi was silent for a while, but still asked.

Since he is allowed to take part in the cases, why can't he be allowed to go on missions together?
He also wanted to personally participate in the operation of capturing the criminals.

……

“You’re not a police officer.”

So there is no right to participate in the action.

Meng's father's simple and rough answer left Meng Jixi speechless.

However, Meng Jixi suddenly looked at Xiao Xiao and said, "He is not a policeman either."

"He is an external aid invited by the police."

Father Meng remained calm and said calmly.

Meng Jixi: "...Then I am also an external aid invited by the police."

"Nonsense."

Father Meng glared at Meng Jixi and asked, "What ability do you have to make the police ask you to be an external aid?"

"I--" Meng Jixi became depressed after only uttering one word.

Although he was proud, he was not conceited. Especially with Father Meng always by his side to teach him a lesson, he understood his own situation better.

He is excellent, indeed.

But there is not a single weak player in the team led by Meng's father.

Compared to them, he was just a rookie with his lack of experience.

……

"Dong Dong~"

There was a gentle knock on the door, and then the waiter pushed open the closed door and walked in.

He was holding the dishes ordered by Xiao Xiao and the others.

……

After dinner, Meng's father originally wanted Meng Jixi to go back to school by himself.

Meng Jixi had already jumped into the car swiftly, pretending not to hear what his father said.

He urged Meng's father to drive back to the suburbs.

……

Xiao Xiao got on the car from the other side.

Regarding the "confrontation" between the father and son, he maintained the demeanor of "a true gentleman watches chess without saying a word".

……

Father Meng looked at his son's scoundrel face and couldn't help but curse him in his heart, "You little rascal."

But after thinking about it, I just let him go.

Anyway, it will be late by then, so even if I have to chase him away, I will send this brat back to school.

……

When it was dusk, the police took action.

After so many days of guarding, nothing was found.

Every morning’s phone call became a “death warrant” for the police.

Everyone was feeling angry and couldn't eat or sleep well. They felt like there was something stuck in their throat and they tossed and turned.

However, even though everyone's brows showed fatigue, their eyes were surprisingly bright.

It's only been seven days, how can you expect them to give up?

They really don't want to notify the family to claim the body.

……

Before the police arrived, no matter how unwilling Meng Jixi was, he was still "driven away" by the iron-faced and impartial father Meng.

Xiao Xiao found it somewhat funny to see the sad look in her eyes before she left.

……

Seeing Xiao Xiao following Meng's father, all the police officers were a little curious.

Captain Meng didn't even agree to let his own son stay, so why did this young man seem to want to move with them?

He is obviously a young man of about the same age as Captain Meng’s son.

……

However, even though they were puzzled, no one asked.

Now is not the time for relaxing gossip.

Everyone was in their seats in an orderly manner.

They could not afford to be careless about the murderer whom they had been watching for seven days without finding any clues.

……

Because the murderer's crime range covers the entire suburbs and there is no regularity at all. He may commit crimes continuously in the same suburbs. He may commit a crime in the eastern suburbs today, but find a body in a field in the west tomorrow.

Therefore, after the police suffered a loss, they no longer distinguished between the primary and secondary issues.

As the number of victims increases, the murderer's cruel methods are both outrageous and shocking.

The higher-ups attached great importance to this case and sent a large number of police forces to provide support.

Therefore, the entire suburb was rationally policed.

Because of this case, the suburbs, which originally had few surveillance cameras, now have more surveillance cameras installed than in the city.

However, no matter how many surveillance cameras there are, there are still blind spots. This can be seen from the fact that after seven days, the police officers were dazzled but still did not find any suspected murderer from the large number of surveillance cameras.

……

"Master Xiao?"

Father Meng looked at Xiao Xiao, wondering what his request was.

When the police officer heard the address as Meng's father, his eyes suddenly widened and he looked Xiao Xiao up and down in disbelief.
