Chapter 4 — Please Don't Take Three Steps Back

But suddenly there were footsteps at the end of the hallway. Ha Nam called me: "Tham Tri, the interrogation has begun." I immediately threw the paper cup into the trash and passed Luc Van Chu.

"Mr. Luc, don't talk personally during work hours."

I walk very fast. So fast that I couldn't hear a very quiet voice behind me.

“But I only have this little personal matter.”

4 After being taken to the bureau, La Cuong's wife initially gritted her teeth and refused to accept it. She said she only burned incense every day, but she didn't know who put the medicine in it. But Luc Van Chu was able to extract a very small amount of powder residue from between her fingernails. With the evidence presented before her, she collapsed. But the case is not over yet. The medicine was not bought by her, on camera there was a man in a gray coat who delivered things to her. We followed the investigative clues and found an underground casino. Ha Nam led the team to arrest people. I was about to follow, but Luc Van Chu suddenly called me back.

“Tham Tri, your wound is cracked.”

I bent down to look. The other day when I went to arrest someone, my arm was cut by glass and was wrapped in gauze. I moved so much that blood flowed out. I didn't care: "It's just a skin injury." Luc Van Chu walked over and said in a deep voice: "Deal with it." I laughed: "Master Luc, now you don't call me dirty anymore?" His eyes darkened.

“I never criticized you.”

My chest was hit again. This person really wants to take someone's life. When I'm cold, I'm like a stone; when I'm soft, I'm confused. I lost my money and obediently followed him into the medical room. He wore gloves to remove my bandage, his movements were extremely gentle. The antiseptic cotton touched the wound and I gasped in pain. He immediately stopped: “Does it hurt?” I was speechless: "It doesn't hurt." He raised his eyes: "Your mouth is really hard." I casually teased: "Have you tried it?" After saying that, I just wanted to slap myself. Tham Tri, Tham Tri, you are very good. Even after being rejected by someone, you still dare to tease me. The cotton swab in Luc Van Chu's hand stopped. His ears gradually turned red. I looked dumbfounded. It turns out that "antiseptic water turned into crystal" also knows how to blush. The atmosphere was so gloomy that it was about to smoke when Ha Nam called.

"Tham Tri, something happened at the casino, the target has run away, please come here immediately."

I immediately stood up. Luc Van Chu pressed me down: "The bandage hasn't been wrapped yet." I withdrew my hand: "Go back and continue thinking." His expression changed completely: "You're always like that." I was stunned: "What?" He looked at me, as if he had been holding back for a long time.

"If you want to come closer then come closer, if you want to go then go. The one who said he likes it is you, now the one pushing me away is also you."

I was also angry.

"Luc Van Chu, are you reasonable? When I said I liked you, you took three steps back."

"I'm not so shameless that people criticize me and still stick around."

His breath caught. I grabbed my coat and went out. He called out: "Tham Tri." I don't turn around. The casino side was in chaos. The suspect escaped through the back door. Ha Nam chased after him and twisted his leg. I led people to block him along the alleys, finally pinning him down next to the trash can. He was still about to struggle, I used my knee to press down on his back, and the handcuffs clicked and locked tightly. Ha Nam limped over and jumped straight on me: "Tham Tri, you are my god." I hated it and pushed him away: "Is your leg broken?" He hugged me and didn't let go: "I almost broke, should you carry me?" I was just about to curse when I suddenly saw someone standing there at the end of the alley. Luc Van Chu did not know when it arrived. He wasn't wearing a white blouse, and the zipper on his jacket wasn't fully zipped. Probably in a hurry to catch up. Rainwater wet his hair.
