Chapter 301: Chapter 298: Suspected Police Officer

At this stage of the case, he can’t get involved at all. Professionals handle professional matters. Even if he wants to give a reminder now, it’s beyond his control. It’s better to stay as far away as possible.

He was afraid that the other person would take him to the morgue at the drop of a hat; that’s the basement, featuring elements like horror films, horror novels—it’s every bit as terrifying here.

Elevators, basements, morgues, corpses—what is there to wait for instead of running?

So as soon as the three of them came out, he rushed out of the building in two or three steps, not caring at all about the two people behind him. After all, they were heading to the basement and were not on the same path; it’s better not to get to know each other.

In case they really encounter something unholy over there, since he is not familiar with them, he might not get entangled.

Thinking this way, Su Qing suddenly felt much more at ease and even thought he’d made a wise choice earlier.

As soon as he stepped out of the building, the warm sun shone on him again, and the anxiety in his heart disappeared completely.

However, looking around, he didn’t spot Zhu Lili. Just as he was puzzled, a small head popped out from behind the distant wall: "Over here, over here, come quickly!"

Taking a closer look, it was Zhu Lili, calling and waving at him. If she had a handkerchief, it would’ve been even better.

Seeing this, Su Qing stepped forward, looked at her anxious expression, and couldn’t help but laugh: "Why are you here, and what’s with that look?"

Zhu Lili pouted and frankly replied, "I didn’t dare to go over. By the way, has Zhou Ning not come out yet?"

"No, he and Sister Zijun went to the basement!"

Hearing this, Zhu Lili noticeably breathed a sigh of relief, patting her almost non-existent chest and saying, "Good, good, he didn’t come out!"

"What’s going on, are you afraid of him?"

"Yes, yes, yes," Zhu Lili nodded repeatedly, then explained, "It was my second month at work, and one night I was on duty and went for a walk. Just passing by here, you know what? I saw him coming out covered in blood wearing a mask, and it nearly scared me to death. Later, I heard from colleagues he had just finished dissecting a corpse. Eww~~ at that time, my hair actually stood on end, it was really terrifying!"

In response, Su Qing thought that if he encountered such a thing at night, he might not fare any better than Zhu Lili, and couldn’t help but sigh, "That’s truly creepy, lucky I didn’t go to the basement with him earlier."

"You definitely shouldn’t go. I heard from colleagues there’s quite a few corpses in his basement, and even various human organs soaked in formalin, it’s scarier than horror movies," Zhu Lili hurriedly advised.

At this moment, two young people who were equally afraid of ghosts reached a strategic alliance.

Quickly, they returned to their respective workstations. Though there weren’t many coworkers in the office, there was at least some lively presence. Being young, they soon forgot about the earlier discomfort.

Su Qing was now sitting in front of the computer, looking at the finished videos Zhu Lili and some colleagues were creating.

Clearly, during this period, the police department staff and Zhu Lili herself became familiar with the short video style.

No need to say anything about their skills; talent is abundant, and video editing is certainly no problem—transitions in the video are handled quite well, and different background music (BGM) really enhanced the effect.

That day’s materials were condensed into two creations; one featured him leading Mao, with him in the first-person perspective, starting with the usual electronic synthetic voice.

The story was simply about him taking Mao for a tour of the police department to see police dogs among the dogs, aka the service dogs. Before dressing up, the sharp contrast between Mao and the police dogs and the imposing manner Mao gained after gearing up as a police dog created a huge contrast, with BGM playing rhythmic music.

Overall, the video quality was quite good. Just with the appearance of Da Tiger, Er Donkey, and several trainers, reinforced by the police department’s backing, this video couldn’t go wrong.

The second creation was even simpler: after Mao became a police dog, it trained with Da Tiger, Gale, and Er Donkey, recognizing its difference from real policemen.

Mao’s helpless expression paired with the majestic police dogs created a contrast. This creation focused on humor, highlighting Mao’s mighty attributes, with the BGM switched to a light and quirky tune.

You know, professional work should be left to professionals. At the very least, their editing techniques surpassed his considerably.

That’s what you call professional.

He was quite satisfied with the two creations, but at the end of each one, there were promotional slogans. One was "Cherish life, stay away from drugs," and another was "Please download the National Anti-Fraud app to prevent telecom fraud."

Although they didn’t show policemen speaking in person like they did at the start, they still achieved their purpose and promoted online security. It must be said, this design was clever.

"Su Qing, where’s Mao? Why isn’t it here today?" Zhu Lili asked nearby.

"It’s pretending to be dead at home, plus it’s a bit scared of the five-kilometer training."

"Ah~~ bring it next time, no one will make it train, I guarantee it won’t train again."

"Actually, not wanting to train is just one reason."

"What other reason is there?"

For this, Su Qing glanced at her flat chest helplessly: "You guys don’t have black stockings, so there’s no choice!"

Zhu Lili: ...

She’s a police officer, wearing a uniform. Who dares to wear that thing during work hours?

But thinking about Mao’s performance in the video, she immediately believed it without any doubt, just a bit crestfallen.

"So, how do you think these two videos are?"

"Nice, you can post them!"

"Really? I saw your last video, didn’t expect you know Brother Nan. Seeing you easily gain hundreds of thousands of followers with a single video makes me so envious. How much do you think I can gain this time?"

Hearing him say they could post, Zhu Lili immediately got excited. Their official account gained tens of thousands of followers in an instant during her last promotion. She had been excited for a long time about it. If it weren’t for Li Zijun not agreeing to be on camera, her account wouldn’t have lost followers.

Finally, she had a chance to redeem it.

Upon hearing this, Su Qing glanced at his short video platform’s backend and found that the heat from the last video had mostly died down, so he started thinking about posting new content.

His follower count had reached 1,150,000. A celebrity is a celebrity. Even if Tang Nan hadn’t made big moves in recent years, their popularity is immense. Just co-shooting one video added him tens of thousands of followers—it was really good.

Thinking about the video materials he had with Impressive Sister and others made him excited, just that since they hadn’t contacted him yet, he felt awkward uploading them. After all, Tang Nan was the intermediary, putting him in a difficult position wouldn’t be good.

If only they could bump into each other on the street, then he could upload anytime he wanted.

Ten minutes later.

"Are you ready?" Su Qing asked.

Zhu Lili unbuttoned the collar of her duty uniform, "Ready, let’s start, my knife...cough cough!"

Su Qing: ...

Ah, youngsters, once they’re on the job, even proper departments become less proper.

What do you mean by your knife, so eager, are you?

Giving her a look, Su Qing spoke, "Upload it!"

The two pressed the upload button at the same time, also tagging each other below the video, with Zhu Lili tagging other Jiangcheng City’s sub-bureaus and police stations’ accounts.

The videos they uploaded differed, he uploaded the first one, and the official account Zhu Lili handled uploaded the second, creating a series.

If viewers wanted to see more, they naturally’d click on the official account, further boosting the flow.

Once the video upload was completed, numerous people received notifications and, upon opening them, saw he’d updated.

"Wuhu~ First!"

"Damn it, hesitated for a moment, and first place was gone, you die!"

"My boy’s first!"

"I swear, Mao became a police dog!"

"So cool!"

"Attention, everyone in the comment section, no cursing or it’ll be considered insulting a police dog!"

"Hey? Can ordinary people casually enter police department interiors? Could Daqing really be a cop?"

"It’s possible, sorry Daqing, I was indeed a bit loud with my words before, sorry, I deeply respect the police officer uncle!"

"I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have said to sterilize Daqing!"

"Stealing a police dog is illegal, stealing a policeman’s dog is also illegal, avoiding, unfollowing!"

"Sorry..."

...

Then his comment section was flooded with waves of apologies, even from those apologizing for stepping on dog poop, it was just ridiculous.
