Chapter 116

Since Song Wen proposed the idea of setting a trap, he has gained strong support from Commissioner Gu.

At this point in time, Commissioner Gu is under a lot of pressure. The police are most afraid when the suspect disappears without a trace. The plan proposed by Song Wen, even if the chances of catching the culprit are slim, is worth trying. The preliminary analysis work of the police and the profiling of the crimes are almost done. It’s better to go to the scene where the crime may occur than to wait in the office.

Commissioner Gu specifically gathered all the female officers in the entire City Bureau, including those in documentation, evidence examination, and forensic departments. They held a mobilization meeting. Except for those who were pregnant, too old, too fat, or too thin, a total of six women were selected. This number was obviously not enough.

Commissioner Gu went to the special task force and was furious: “There are few female comrades in our bureau, but where is your sense of duty as police officers?! What about your spirit of sacrifice and dedication? According to our previous grouping, there are six groups in the bureau, each with two decoys. This must be completed!”

Tian Ming spread his hands, “Commissioner Gu, where are we supposed to find so many beautiful young ladies? We can’t just go out on the streets and snatch them, can we? If we use our own relatives and friends, we might be able to ask, but for girls who haven’t learned self-defense techniques, they might not feel safe, right?”

Commissioner Gu glared, “Did you all learn makeup and disguise techniques for nothing? This case is a good opportunity to practice. If you can’t find people, then disguise yourselves!”

Tian Ming scratched his head and continued to protest, “Look at the men we recruited in the bureau, they are all over six feet tall… Those criminals, even if we spot them, I doubt they would come forward.”

Commissioner Gu put his hands on his hips, “What do you mean they won’t come forward? It’s because your makeup and disguise skills aren’t up to par. Late at night, who can see how tall or short someone is clearly? When you get closer, when they’re trying to figure out whether you’re a man or a woman, that’s when you strike! When I was young, there was a criminal who kidnapped children in a kindergarten. Later, a male special police officer dressed up as a woman and took him down! In the face of people’s safety, what do a few difficulties and losing face count for?”

Song Wen smirked as he watched Tian Ming get scolded, but he didn’t expect Commissioner Gu to call his name next: “Song Wen, just like someone under you, like Lu Siyu, dress up nicely and go out. They won’t be any worse than our female comrades.”

Upon hearing this, Song Wen turned to look at Lu Siyu.

Lu Siyu was sitting in the back row. He had just returned from the evidence collection department, where Cheng Xiaobing gave him several pieces of Wangwang Shunbei. At this moment, he had just stuffed a piece into his mouth. He felt the gaze of everyone on him, and he quickly lowered his head, covering his mouth like a little hamster, not daring to move.

“This will be included in the year-end assessment, with bonus points for cross-dressing!” Commissioner Gu continued, “In any case, that’s the arrangement. Each group must provide another decoy, and you can vote for the candidates yourselves. After selecting, go to logistics to try on the clothes. I want to see results!”

After Commissioner Gu left, the entire office exploded.

“Did Commissioner Gu eat gunpowder today?”

“Anxious because we haven’t had a breakthrough in the case. It’s understandable, understandable…”

“Recently, the pressure from the latest case is overwhelming. Even Commissioner Gu’s chrysanthemum tea doesn’t seem to work anymore.”

“Captain, who do you think is more suitable in our team? With my face full of pockmarks, I’m definitely not the right fit. Dressing up as a woman in the middle of the night, I’ll probably look like a ghost.”

With Commissioner Gu’s order, the previously stagnant atmosphere in the City Bureau, tormented by the recent cases, suddenly became lively.

The patrol teams were already divided into groups, slightly different from their usual assignments. Song Wen and Fu Linjiang split one team into two, each leading a group. Turning to Fu Linjiang, Song Wen said, “Linjiang, Commissioner Gu has singled me out for my team. You handle your side, and you can choose anyone from the other members.”

Fu Linjiang rubbed his forehead and sighed lightly, “Are you suggesting Old Jia or the newcomer Xiao Wang would be suitable? This feels like being pushed to the limit.”

“I think you’ll do just fine,” Song Wen patted him on the shoulder reassuringly. “There are bonus points at the end of the year. Maybe with that, you’ll be closer to the position of captain.”

After comforting Fu Linjiang, Song Wen approached Lu Siyu, “Commissioner Gu has singled you out. The whole bureau is probably eagerly awaiting your appearance. Don’t put too much pressure on yourself.”

As Lu Siyu swallowed the snack in his mouth, he nearly choked on it, his eyes turning red from holding back tears. He didn’t say anything for a moment, and Song Wen thought he was feeling embarrassed, so he softened his tone, “But if you don’t want to go, we have other options in our team. Zhu Xiao’s height might work well. If not, we have other ways…”

Licking his lips, Lu Siyu finally managed to speak, “Captain Song, do you want to join in personally?”

With his arms crossed, Song Wen cleared his throat, “It’s not impossible.” Disguise and makeup reconnaissance were mandatory subjects during their police academy days and were included in evaluations. Song Wen had scored quite well in that subject back then and even had some missions during his internship. There are still a few embarrassing pictures in his computer.

“I’ll follow the organization’s arrangement, but I’m a bit nervous,” Lu Siyu glanced at Song Wen again and said, “Captain Song, you really dug a big hole this time.”

Song Wen replied, “A good cat catches mice whether it’s black or white. As long as the method works.” He winked at Lu Siyu, “Let’s go. Before they choose candidates, let’s go downstairs to logistics to try on clothes. There aren’t many suitable clothes here. First come, first served. If we’re late, there might only be tank tops and fishnet stockings left, although I’m quite curious to see you wearing them.”

When they arrived downstairs at logistics, Song Wen took the initiative to pick out some clothes for Lu Siyu. Then he led him to the storage room on the first floor and closed the door. “This disguise and makeup reconnaissance, not to say, when I was in school, I scored quite high. You, on the other hand, are a bit tall, but your shoulders aren’t too wide, your legs are long and slender, and your neck is thin. I guarantee this outfit won’t look out of place. This wig is new. Do you know how to wear a hairnet?”

Lu Siyu took a pile of clothes, not objecting to dressing up as a woman, but he was scared by Song Wen’s enthusiasm. He said to him, “Captain Song, you should go out. I can try them on myself.”

Song Wen pushed Lu Siyu out of the door and waited anxiously outside. He didn’t have any special hobbies, just curiosity. He wondered what Lu Siyu would look like dressed up.

After about ten minutes, the door opened a crack, and Lu Siyu’s voice came from inside, “Is it still suitable?”

His voice came first, followed by him lowering his head and walking out shyly. After all, this wasn’t something he did often, so he felt a bit embarrassed. Song Wen raised his head and was stunned at the sight.

Lu Siyu had a handsome appearance, and Song Wen had expected him not to look bad dressed as a woman, but he never imagined he would look this good.

Lu Siyu was only wearing a wig and had changed clothes, his face still bare. The bangs covered his slightly bold eyebrows, and the clean face was softened by the side-combed wig, adding a hint of charm. His fair complexion emitted a milky fragrance.

The former coldness has turned into a unique aura, akin to the fragrance of orchids in a secluded valley.

Lu Siyu wore a top with a semi-high collar, and the frilled collar covered the Adam’s apple and the mole on his neck. However, when he moved, the mole occasionally peeked out, tugging at the heartstrings of onlookers.

The fishtail skirt on his lower body appeared extremely elegant and charming. Over it, he draped a tailored ladies’ coat, perfectly concealing his slightly broader shoulder width compared to typical girls. With long legs and a slender waist, there was not a hint of discrepancy. Instead, he resembled a celestial sister who had descended to earth.

Currently, it was daytime, so some masculine traces like the Adam’s apple were still visible. If it were nighttime and he didn’t speak, he would truly be an indistinguishable beauty.

The person before him looked both unfamiliar and incredibly familiar. Song Wen stared blankly for several seconds before confirming that it was indeed his little comrade. He cleared his throat and noticed that Lu Siyu’s shoelaces were a bit loose, so he hurriedly said, “Um… your shoelaces aren’t tied properly.”

After speaking, Song Wen bent down and tied Lu Siyu’s shoelaces into a neat bow.

Lu Siyu wore stockings on his legs, and the fishtail skirt swayed in front of him. Whether it was because of the perfume sprinkled on the skirt or not, there was a faint fragrance in the air.

Seeing Song Wen busy tying his shoelaces, Lu Siyu spoke up, “In terms of looks, Captain, I think you wouldn’t look bad either dressed up.”

“For the next time, I’ll accompany you to perform ‘Double Beauties.'” Song Wen stood up, looked at Lu Siyu, and helped him adjust his wig. “But don’t go out like this during the day.”

Lu Siyu raised his head, his long eyelashes flickering, and his beautiful eyes glanced around. “Are you… afraid of scaring others?”

Song Wen carefully examined him again. Lu Siyu, dressed as a woman, exuded a charm that transcended gender. “I’m afraid others will mistake you for a real lady, causing a sensation. Moreover, if a criminal decides to abduct you later, it would be a huge loss for our police force.”

Lu Siyu’s pointed chin drooped, and he fell silent for a moment. He looked down at his attire and whispered softly, “Captain Song, even if I’m thinner, I still have an eight-pack abs…”

Hearing this, Song Wen felt a rush of blood to his head. “Don’t say that in front of others.”

A guy’s muscles, arms, chest, waistline—all different from those soft girls. Upon closer inspection, Lu Siyu’s body still showed some masculine traces. Not to mention anything else, his legs were longer than those of ordinary girls, and his waist was unbelievably slender. Comparatively, Song Wen seemed to prefer this type.

“Uh… what’s this?” Tian Ming was coming downstairs and saw Lu Siyu, who had changed clothes, staring at him for a while before confirming, “Damn, I thought Captain Song’s girlfriend had arrived. Xiao Lu, did you put it on already?… You’re too beautiful, aren’t you giving the rest of us a chance to live?”

Tian Ming’s loud call attracted almost half of the police station to gather around. Lu Siyu wished he could bury his head in the collar and escape, but he was stuck at the office door.

“So pretty… This level of professionalism is unbelievable. The figure, the facial features… just like a female model.”

“Today I learned what it means to be a cross-dressing master…”

“So Commissioner Gu really has an eye for talent. If he wasn’t so tall, I’d believe he’s a new female colleague.”

“If it were a female colleague, I would have chased after her long ago. Why does it have to be you?”

Lu Siyu felt like a giant panda in a cage, being watched by his colleagues from the police station.

Song Wen shielded Lu Siyu behind him. “Just take a look and stop making a fuss. Lu Siyu, hurry up and change back. We’ll talk about this when it’s time for the night operation.”
