Back at the station, the others took care of the criminal for me.
Since we had caught the criminal, it was only natural that we would have to process them as well.
However, the others just waved me off as they said, "Go on, there's no point in leaving the paperwork to you when you've already caught the criminal. We have to at least do a bit of work for our pay."
This team of mine was quite the friendly one, so I wasn't worried about leaving them with these things.
But it turned out that they only did this because someone else wanted me.
"It seems like you're quite the star, aren't you?"
An awkward smile appeared on my face when I heard this.
I wouldn't have minded others saying this, but it was hard when it was the chief that said this. The way that the chief said this was almost as if he was making fun of me instead of actually praising me.
My experience from my past life told me that there was nothing good about a boss suddenly offering praise like this.
