CHAPTER 1

OPEN A CASEWELCOME TO THE NEW INSPECTORInside the police station, people were walking around. Both the officerswho received the matter and solving problems for those in distress whoneeded help, making the last hours of the day seem busier than usual.Because besides having to wait to receive the new inspector there was alsoa fight at the station."You were the one who took my stuff!!!""What the fuck? I said I didn't take it. Did you get drunk and put itsomewhere yourself."Damn Chatmai.""You're the evil one!" The sound of screams and curses rang out incessantlyuntil an officer had to come in to stop him."Both of you, please calm down first. If anything happens, report it to theauthorities. There will be mediation and more litigation.""Calm down?! How can I stay calm? Hundreds of thousands of dollars havedisappeared.""You got drunk and put it somewhere yourself?Stupid bastard!" The fat guy was about to do it, I turned around because Iwas tired of arguing, Until I didn't notice that the Person who was once hisclose friend now runs to take scissors and hold his shirts at arm's length,hoping to save his life this time."Damn it, Mew!!!" Before he could even hit the tip of the knife, hisabdomen was kicked with such force that he doubled over, his hands weakthat he had to drop the scissors. He then knelt on the ground with his handson his stomach."Wouldn't it be better to speak kindly?" A soft, deep voice caughteveryone's attention, they turn to look at a tall, thin young man. His jetblack hair was combed to reveal an oval-shaped face with a sharp jaw andsmooth honey-colored skin paired with sharp brown eyes, the bridge of hisnose prominent, with full lips. He wore a white t-shirt and a black suit,looking every inch perfect."Are you going to stab me, you damn dude?! Don't just stand here." Thechubby man crouched down and grabbed a pair of scissors in anger.But he groaned as his palm was crushed by a black sneaker that wasstomped on with full force.The man was about one hundred and eighty-eight centimeters tall,handsome tanned skin combined with sharp eyes as black as night, his sharpface and eyebrows furrowed uneasily, mouth holding a paper coffee cup, hismessy hair, the tight black shirt and jacket he was wearing indicated that hedid not need a uniform like everyone else."Captain," a police officer who was standing helplessly, immediatelygreeted the newcomer.The person known as the station captain kicked the wrist of the person whowas about to bend down to pick up the scissors, before kicking the sharpobject away from the two perpetrators in frustration."I just went out to buy a cup of coffee.""These two people were fighting over the missing hundred thousand baht.The complainant reported that this friend of his was the one who stole itfrom him because they were drinking together last night, but when he wokeup in the morning, the money was gone.""That hundred thousand baht isn't in the back of the car, is it?"Ah... what!!"Probably because I accidentally overheard this man talking on the phoneabout trying to scam him out of a hundred thousand baht." Jade gave anirritating smile to the person who asked.Earlier he had gone out to buy coffee. Then he accidentally overheard aman kneeling on the ground talking on the phone. It wouldn't be veryinteresting if the conversation wasn't aimed at tricking others. And thevictim who was sleeping in the driver's seat didn't wake up and knowanything. He noticed the bag of money, because the car was parked rightnext to his car."Hello, I don't know. He's drunk. Wait for me to return the hundredthousand and then run away to another province. I'll talk about the contentyou talked about. Is it okay to make a phone call?" His impatient attitudeand words were good evidence that everyone noticed. "Do you want toreport it?""jinform! I'm going to put you in jail for sure, you bastard!"Jade smiled at the two of them before nodding to his subordinates tocontinue. As for him, he turned around and smiled at the people who werethere as well."What about you? Did you come to report a crime or do you have anyerrands?""I'm here to work." Jade looked at the person in front of him from head totoe again. This kind of attitude..."Come on, I'll take you to the room." Jade led the way to the upstairs room,which had been cleaned and tidied up, but still looked empty because noone dared to redecorate it for fear of not liking it and being criticized."I'm Jade Charuwat, the boss here.""I'm Kamin." Jade looked at the back under the white shirt of the personwho came in to inspect different areas. From his attitude and way ofspeaking, she didn't know if he was arrogant and pretentious. If he was,working together might be difficult, as she didn't like those kinds of people."Do you want a nameplate right away, or is the room too small?" Jade trieda question.Kamin, who listened, sighed before turning to look with a respectful look."If I say it's too small, do you have another room for me?""If you plan on just sitting at a desk and working, I think this room will do.""So, how big of a room does an unemployed commander need to be heretalking to me?" Jade smirked, because that answer fit his arrogant face.Kamin leaned on the desk before looking at the man in front of him. Theprovocative attitude and head-to-toe mess didn't seem like someone easy towork with, buthis subordinates downstairs probably respected him and obeyed his orders,as seen in the incident downstairs. So he decided to stay.Kamin figured the best way to avoid trouble was to get along, since hewould have to work there for a long time."If you need anything... do it yourself, but if you have any questions, I'm inthe next room." Jade pointed his finger at the next room that was separatedonly by a clear glass window. Maybe I should buy a curtain to install.As Jade left, Kamin sighed at the poor start to the day. He was sent there toreplace the previous inspector because the head office thought he was just ayoung man who had gotten his position too early. No one knew how muchhe had to work hard to get to that position.Kamin began to inspect the room to make sure there were no listeningdevices or cameras installed. In this business, nothing could be trusted, itwas like clear water on the surface, but full of mud at the bottom.Jade watched the new inspector as he inspected the room for a while, beforesitting down in a chair with a relaxed attitude. He was meticulous. He wasabout his age, but had already achieved a high position, indicating that hehad been through a lot. He wondered if he had gotten his position throughmerit, luck, or doing favors for the right people.The documents Kamin needed to know about were delivered to him at tenin the morning. He spent the time reading and checking everything untilnoon, when three knocks were heard on the door before it was openedwithout waiting for his permission."Shouldn't you wait for my permission first, Officer Jade?""Okay." Jade stepped back before closing the door and starting to knockagain. Kamin shook his head in frustration before closing the documents."Go ahead.""That's all, I came to invite the new inspector to lunch.""I have work to do.""Just with those documents, that's not called work.""For me, whether it's office work or field work, it's work.""Leave your complicated documents and let's get to work for real." Jadeextended the documents towards the person sitting at the desk. Kamin wasabout to receive them, but they retreated before. "Read them later."Kamin's perfectly shaped eyebrows furrowed at the person who walkedaway with his hands in his pockets. Kamin had no choice but to follow him.As they passed by the officers at the station, they all greeted the one in frontof them in a friendly manner, but they still felt tense around him."Er... Inspector, are you going to lunch?""Yes.""Going with Officer Jade guarantees that you'll eat something delicious. Heloves to eat.""That's true, especially with drinks... i"Why are you saying that to the inspector?""The boss will hit you on the head!" Kamin watched the two officers banterbefore looking at the man who had stepped forward."Then I'm leaving. You two get on with your business.""Yes!""Yes!" The voices of energetic respect made Kamin feel a littleuncomfortable, as in the police department, although his rank was high,people there always tried to pressure him."This way." The voice came from the side of the station. When Kaminarrived, he saw Jade riding a large black motorcycle. The tall man waswearing a black helmet and handed a white one to Kamin."What is this?""Are you a real policeman? Don't you even know a helmet?""I mean why are you giving it to me?""Are we going to solve a case or not? You talk too much! If there was acriminal waiting, he would have already escaped thecountry.""I brought my car." Kamin pointed at his white Maserati. Jes glanced overand then showed an irritated face."If you're wearing that, you won't even make it to the red light before losingme. Get in quickly, I'm hungry and there's work to do. Let's not waste time."Kamin rolled his eyes, put on his helmet, and climbed onto the bike behindJade."If you sit so far away, I won't come back to pick you up if you fall.""Let's go now.""As you wish." The engine roared before slowly pulling away, but oncethey passed the station, Jade suddenly accelerated, causing the wind to roar.Kamin, who was sitting unsteadily, nearly fell backwards and grabbed Jes'waist, screaming."Are you crazy?! Did you buy your driver's license?!""I can't hear you, I can't hear you," Jade screamed into the wind,accelerating further. Kamin had to use both hands to hold onto Jes' waist,while a satisfied smile peeked out from under his helmet.After twenty minutes, they arrived at a beachfront restaurant. Kaminwatched Jade walk towards the restaurant while whistling and greeting theemployees with familiarity."The usual, officer?""The same as always. I want two today.""Have you ever not ordered two? And who is he?" The restaurant owner,with a robust body, looked at the person still standing in front of therestaurant with a helmet in his hand."If you'd rather just stand there and watch, go ahead." Jade went to pourhimself some water before returning to the table and winking atKamin."Come in, have a seat. What would you like to drink?" Kamin smiledpolitely at the restaurant owner before sitting down at the table with Jade."Order whatever you want. Everything in this place is delicious." Jade slidthe glass of water he had poured for Kamin."Consider this a welcome for the new inspector.""Ah, you are the new inspector? Then order whatever you want. This mealis on me.""Thank you. I'll have a seafood broth then.""Okay, wait a moment." When the restaurant owner left, Kamin lookedback at Jade."Where are the documents you wanted me to see?""Here are these." Jade handed the documents in an envelope to Kamin, whowas frowning as if everything in life was serious.After reading for a while, Kamin looked up and saw Jade looking at himwith her arms resting on the table."When do we start working on the case?""Tonight.""I'll see you there then.""The case is at the club, not in court, so you don't need to dress up, in caseyou didn't know.""Just because I'm the inspector here today, doesn't mean I've been a policeofficer since yesterday. I know what I should and shouldn't do.""I can do this case alone, if you feel uncomfortable working with me.""I just want to evaluate the new inspector. I want to know if what they sayis true.""And what have you heard? That way I'll know if it's true." Jade smiledbefore leaning in, and Kamin didn't back down either."They say you're very smart, organized... but also arrogant, stubborn, andthat you think only of yourself, which makes it difficult to work as a team."Jade's smile made Kamin feel a pang of discomfort."I can now confirm two things: one, you're smart, and two, you're ascharming as they say."First Chapter done. I'll try to update the second chapter as soon aspossible.CHAPTER 2In front of a famous club in the province, people began to arrive from earlyin the evening. Kamin was also there, standing, having received the casealmost half an hour ago. The owner of the navy blue shirt had unbuttonedtwo buttons, revealing his white chest.His black pants matched his dress shoes of the same color. His hair, whichused to be combed, now fell naturally, giving him a more youthful look. Ashe lifted his watch to check the time, someone approached with a litcigarette."I don't smoke," Kamin said, looking at the young man who lookedyounger, but with a defiant attitude."Can I have your number?""I'm not available.""Not available for what? Just give me your number," the young manexhaled smoke in Kamin's face before moving closer and inhaling nicotineagain. But just as he was about to exhale the smoke, Kamin raised his handand covered the young man's mouth forcefully, pushing him against thewall.In an instant, the smoke that was meant to be exhaled was inhaled again,causing the young man to cough and tears to fill his eyes. Still, he tried tomaintain his defiant attitude."This is not a place to smoke, there is a sign that says so," Kamin stubbedout the cigarette on the ground as the young man stood up and prepared toattack the new inspector.But before he could do so, a hand wrapped around Kamin's waist to preventthe blow, then pushed him down to the ground."Who the hell are you?", turning around and seeing who had pushed him,the young man was speechless. "'P'Jade? Did you come to have fun today?""Yeah, what's going on here?", Jade ran his hand through his black hair, histight black shirt revealing his muscles, matching his pants of the same color."He started it, I just asked for his number," the young man stood up andbrushed the dust off his jeans, pointing at Kamin with a serious expression.Jade looked at the person in his arms, surprised at how small he was. "Andwhy do you want my boy's number?"Kamin looked at Jade, but before he could deny, Jade squeezed his waistgently."This is your boy?""Yeah.""Then I'm not getting involved, sorry," the young man said, scared andrespectful, making Kamin wonder if Jade was a cop or a mob boss."Can you let me go already?""Tonight, you're mine. If I let you go, people will get suspicious," Jadewhispered intentionally into Kamin's ear. "Tonight, let your waist be myrefuge."They both walked in without separating even an inch. Kamin agreedbecause he thought it would be more convenient for the case. He didn'twant to get into trouble like the previous incident. Jade, for his part, wasonly thinking about how fun it was to tease the person in his arms.The famous club, Drink Me, was a well-known club-restaurant in the area.Even though it was a weekday, there were a lot of people. The interior wasdivided into two floors. The first floor had a bar, plenty of tables, and astage for the band. The second floor was a mezzanine from which you couldsee down below. In addition to a variety of alcoholic beverages, they alsoserved food. There was a clearly marked smoking area outside, so theinterior wasn't stuffy.People walked back and forth, some drunk, almost colliding with Kamin.But thanks to the strong arm around his waist, he wasn't knocked over. Theyboth sat at a table not too far from the bar, but discreet enough. Once seated,Kamin moved away from Jade immediately."Relax, what do you want to drink?" Jade asked calmly, leaning back on thered velvet couch and looking at Kamin beside him."I'm working.""Whatever," Jade poured himself his favorite drink and looked aroundwithout focusing on anything in particular."Are you sure it's today?""That's what the source reported.""The documents don't specify the time. Do you know what time it is?""Why? Do you have to go to bed before nine?"Jade raised his glass and smiled, making Kamin look at him in disgust."Can you stop bothering me for a minute?""I can stop, but I won't. Any problems?" Kamin rolled his eyes and sighed.If this was just the first day, he didn't know what the future would be like."Stop sitting so straight, with your hands on your knees and lookingeverywhere. You look like an 'I'm a cop' poster.""And what should I do? Drink while I work? Act casual?""Those who come to deliver drugs here aren't locals. They don't know who'sa cop. But your suspicious attitude will make them doubt."Khun Jade grabbed Kamin and sat him on his lap before wrapping one handaround his waist. The more Kamin tried to fight, the tighter the armstightened around him.'Stay still, they're already here,' Jade said as he raised his glass of liquor, nottaking his eyes off the group of people entering. They were dressed likeordinary tourists, but each carried a black bag in their hand.He had received a report from an undercover agent about where today'smeeting would take place. The table was only two tables away from them,and they would have to go through their table first, so Jade chose that table.'Damn it, Jade.''What?''See the guy in the white Hawaiian shirt? He's the owner of a local cattlefarm. He knows I'm a cop, Jade considered using the menu to cover hisface, but before he could do so, the person on his lap had already held hisface and leaned in so close that he could feel their warm breath and the tipsof their noses.'This method is quite interesting.''Stay quiet?''You're not covering me completely,' Jade teased, pulling Kamin's waistcloser.'Better now?''Shut up, Khun Jade,' Kamin stiffened, their faces just inches apart. If hemoved too much, it would be a mistake.'Did they leave already?''No,' Jade replied, looking past Kamin's charming face and seeing that thedrug dealers had already sat down.'If you lie to me, I'll transfer you.'Abuse of power, huh?''That's my business.' Kamin looked behind him and saw the suspects sittingat his table. He stood up, pushing Jade's ribs with surprising force.'Ow! That hurts.''Focus on them. I'm going to call in backup,' Kamin said, getting up andheading to the bathroom to make the call.This case involved catching drug dealers and middlemen who sold drugs tolocals.Previously, no one could act because the suspects always escaped raids.Now, with a new inspector and a planned raid close to success, it was clearwhy they had failed before.'Sergeant, get the team ready. Wait for Jade's signal and then go in.'(Understood.)When the conversation ended, a young man walked in. He was about 185cm tall, wearing a white shirt and earthy tones, with smoky grey hair and acharming dimple on his cheek.Kamin didn't pay much attention. He chose to wash his hands so as not toraise suspicion. After finishing, he walked out the door, but upon opening it,he saw that one of the drug cartel's henchmen was about to enter. He didn'tknow if they came to the bathroom by chance or because they noticedsomething, but Kamin decided to go back inside and dragged a young manwho didn't know anything, into the bathroom to avoid any unexpectedincidents."Wait here," a new voice said, causing Kamin to become even more alertand raise his hand to cover the young man's mouth. The boy he had draggedinto the bathroom looked at his hand and frowned, making Kamin feeloddly familiar with his attitude.The sound of someone relieving themselves was heard and then the soundof the toilet flushing from another stall.After that, the sound of a door opening and closing was heard, allowingKamin to free the young man from his grip."What's wrong?" the boy asked."A little mishap," Kamin replied, as he tried to unlock the bathroom door.But the young man stopped him."I need a better explanation than a 'little mishap! You dragged me into thebathroom without my consent,'" the boy said, crossing his arms and lookingat him seriously."I let you go, didn't I?" Kamin replied, rolling his eyes."But I didn't consent in the first place. I could report you," the boy said, stillserious."Running away from someone. Happy now?" Kamin said."Running away from who?" the boy asked."Someone I broke up with. I don't want to see him. Now get out, I havethings to do," Kamin said. But instead of leaving, the boy smiled, showing adimple on his right cheek."So you're running away?" the boy asked. The phone in Kamin's pocketrang, it was a call from his team waiting outside. He had to hurry."Move!" Kamin said, pushing the boy aside before opening the door andrunning out. The boy stood smiling behind him.The black phone in the boy's pocket rang, and he picked it up withoutlooking."Where are you, Jay? Get back to the table right now," a voice said on theother end of the line."Yeah, I'm coming. I found something interesting in the bathroom," Jayreplied."No, you can't stay out today. Tomorrow is the last day of initiation," hisfriend said."I know," Jay replied, regretting not asking for the other boy's contact. Butat least he had found something nice to brighten his night.When Kamin returned to the table, he saw black eyes staring at him. Uponarriving, he was greeted with a stern look, just as he expected."I just ordered the subordinates to get ready, what's taking them so long totalk? From now on, it's going to be hard to work, don't you think?""Are you done trading?" Kamin decided to ignore the sarcasm and pulledout his pistol as he saw the officers infiltrate the place and begin to take outthe guests."All set," said Jade, drinking the last shot of brandy before getting up toprepare for the raid.They separated, Jade circling the drug dealer while Kamin positionedhimself behind the dealer's chair.They both looked at each other before giving the signal to the officers in thearea."You're under arrest for possession with intent to distribute drugs," saidKamin, pointing his pistol at the offender's head, who raised his hands. Thedealer, who was about to pull out his gun, stopped as he felt the cold of thebarrel on his temple."Put the gun down," said Kamin in a firm voice, pressing the pistol againstthe dealer's head, who bowed his head slightly.All the subordinates who tried to help their boss were surrounded by theofficers. This capture would lead to further breakthroughs in the case ofother dealers in the future.This was the first case for the new inspector, Kamin."Take them all to the station.""Understood!" one of the officers replied. Finishing the mission, Kaminsecured his pistol and put it away. He had to rewrite the case report andproceed with the arrest, but a hand on his shoulder stopped him."What's wrong?""The case is over.""Catching doesn't mean over.""It's your first case, aren't you going to celebrate?""I have to keep working," Kamin said. Jade offered him a glass of brandythat he didn't know where it had come from. Kamin frowned beforeclinking the glasses and drinking in one gulp."Consider this an honor for drinking with me. Afterwards, I'll accompanyyou to work," Jade said. Kamin glanced at him before taking another glassand drinking it all. At least, Jade had helped a lot on this case."Happy now?""Yeah, I'm happy."On the way out, Kamin grabbed Jade's arm."Are you going back on your bike?""Or would you rather I carry you?""I only drank one glass.""Less than the other times.""Leave the car here. We're going in mine," Jade said, grinning beforetossing the keys to an approaching subordinate."Lieutenant, take the car to the station.""Why don't you take it yourself, Captain?""The new inspector invited me to go with him," Jade said, resting his armon Kamin's shoulder again, but this time Kamin kicked him in the shin,forcing him to let go."Meet me at the car," Kamin said, walking towards the car without payingattention to Jade, who was rubbing his shin."Captain, do I really have to take your bike? I only drank one glass, are youdrunk?""Just three.""Ah, so you're not drunk. Are you faking it?""Ken.""Sorry, sorry. What do we do then? Do we go back to the inspector?""Yeah, let's get things in order.""Order? He kicked you just now and you screamed."Jade glanced at his subordinate out of the corner of his eye, who laughedand started his bike, ensuring that he wouldn't crash it into the ground or thepoles.Jade climbed into the luxury car he had seen at the station before sitting inthe passenger seat. He leaned towards Kamin until their noses were almosttouching. His brown eyes stared at him without turning away, with a hint ofannoyance."What are you going to do?""What do you expect a drunk to do?""If you keep playing, I will leave you in the middle of the road.""You won't," Jade said, smiling and showing a dimple on his right cheek, asmile that Kamin found strangely familiar.The cold barrel of the gun pointed at his head made Jade laugh before heraised his hands in surrender and buckled Kamin's seatbelt."Driving without a seatbelt is dangerous. I just want to help you.""I expect you to work as efficiently as you talk."'What Jade discovered that night about the new inspector was that heworked with the same precision he had heard, and his brown eyes sparkledin a captivating way'.
