Afternoon sunlight filtered through the windows of the Metropolitan Police Department office, casting a golden, gauze-like layer over the floor and office furniture. The light was warm and soft, seeming to infuse the entire room with a vibrant sense of life. Officer Qin Xiao sat at his desk, bathed in the warm sunlight, feeling this rare warmth and a rising sense of peace and comfort in his heart. He closed his eyes slightly to enjoy a moment of tranquility.
When Officer Qin Xiao opened his eyes again, he turned on his computer and began working on the cases at hand. As time passed, he grew fully absorbed in his work, concentrating so intently that he forgot everything around him. His fingers flew across the keyboard like a musician playing the piano, each keystroke accompanied by a crisp sound. His eyes remained fixed on the screen, terrified of missing any crucial clue or detail.
However, maintaining the same posture for too long caused Officer Qin Xiao's body to begin protesting. His neck gradually stiffened, and his limbs grew heavy and sluggish. Finally, realizing he had been sitting for far too long and needed to move around, he paused his work and gently rolled his neck, which let out a sharp crack. "I've been sitting way too long," he muttered to himself, "my limbs feel like they're turning to stone."
