You're supposed to be a security officer, what case are you solving?

Chapter 314 A Sea of ​​People!

the next morning.

The K121 green train, returning from An'nan to Chengdu, flashed past Yang Jinwen and his companions' window.

This train is the same route Zhang Chen took, and also the same route Huang Xiaolan took.

The train from Jiangcheng is slowly pulling into the platform.

Two trains passed each other, like parallel lines that would never intersect.

Zhang Chen could already see more than a dozen uniformed police officers standing on the platform.

She turned her face and raised her wrist.

Yang Jinwen took out handcuffs from behind his waist and slowly put them on her.

But his eyes were fixed on her.

"Is there anything else you wish for? If you need my help, I will definitely do it."

Zhang Chen shook his head slightly, then said, "Thank you."

Yao Weihua sighed, wanting to say something but unable to utter a word.

The same goes for Cai Ting and Maozi.

This journey from Annam felt like a very long process, and when they reached their destination, they didn't want to get off the bus.

Finally, the train stopped with a 'bang,' and the carriage doors opened, revealing that only their carriage was closed; the other carriages remained tightly shut.

Cai Ting and Maozi walked to the other side and grabbed Zhang Chen's arm.

After He Jinbo and his group got into the car, Maozi and Cai Ting handed Zhang Chen over to four police officers from the detention center.

He Jinbo glanced at Yang Jinwen and nodded slightly.

A detention center official, after comparing the documents and photos in his hand for a moment, asked, "Your name is Zhang Chen? You are 26 years old? You are from Jiang City?"

Zhang Chen nodded: "Yes."

"Identity verified, take him away!"

After the group got off the bus, a dozen or so uniformed police officers escorted Zhang Chen toward the platform where the prison van was parked.

She turned around with difficulty, taking one last look at Yang Jinwen and the others, her face expressionless.

Cai Ting kicked the ground and cursed, "Fuck!"

The cat, its eyes vacant, asked, "Old Yao, do you have a cigarette?"

A cigarette was offered to him, and the cat took it and lit it with a lighter.

He Jinbo flicked the back of his head: "Why are you so listless? Aren't you happy that the pursuit was successful?"

Cat then realized that the cigarettes were given to him by his master, and he shook his head: "I can't be happy."

He Jinbo said, "In any case, the case is solved."

Yang Jinwen looked behind him. At that moment, all the doors of the train carriages opened, and passengers, carrying large and small bags, surged onto the platform.

The once empty train platform was suddenly packed with people.

He Jinbo said, "Come on, let me treat you to breakfast."

Yao Weihua shook his head: "I have no appetite, Captain He, shall we take a few days off?"

"Of course, you can't come back and immediately become beasts of burden..."

"That's good, I'm going home now." After saying that, Yao Weihua disappeared into the crowd.

He Jinbo glanced at him and continued, "This business trip..."

Cai Ting interrupted him, "I'm leaving too. My parents know I'm back and are waiting for me to have lunch."

He Jinbo frowned and shouted, "Think about how to write the case file."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Yang Jinwen and Maozi: "What's wrong with you two?"

The cat shook its head: "It's nothing."

Yang Jinwen squinted and said, "I'm leaving too."

The cat tried to escape, but He Jinbo caught it: "Hey kid, don't go. Come to my house for lunch today. Tell me in detail what happened during the past few days while you were chasing the fugitive. You're definitely up to something."

The cat wanted to break free. He was most afraid of going to his master's house. His master didn't have a daughter, so there was no point in going.

"Please spare me, Master. I have some free time today. I'm going to visit my sister at school."

"It's your sister's problem. She's graduating soon, aren't you going to help her find a job? Are you coming with me or not?"

Upon hearing this, the cat compromised and said, "Alright then."

"You're still reluctant. Here's what we'll do: bring your sister to my house so we can discuss this. It's a big deal and can't be delayed."

"Thank you, Master." Cat nodded and quickly left the platform.

Yang Jinwen did not go home or back to the bureau, but instead took a taxi straight to the TV station.

At this time, television stations were relatively independent and had not yet succumbed to...

Upon arriving at the front desk, he asked the staff for the office of reporter Zhang Wen.

After being informed, he went upstairs.

Zhang Wen was one of the victims in the serial disappearances and murders of female students from Chengnan Health School.

She narrowly escaped death, managing to escape the killer's attack.

In the editorial department on the third floor, Zhang Wen was sitting in a chair when she looked up and saw a tall figure walk in.

She recognized this person.

The TV station had reported on local criminal cases; this person was good-looking, tall, and well-mannered.

The other party was a criminal police officer, and she assumed he was looking for her editor-in-chief.

But the other person walked straight towards her.

"Hello, Reporter Zhang? Do you recognize me?"

Zhang Wen stood up, looking somewhat flustered. He hadn't even noticed that the other person hadn't given their workplace information.

Since he didn't identify himself, he must have come to see her in a private capacity. She was a little nervous, partly because Yang Jinwen was too dazzling. Whether as a criminal police officer or in terms of his appearance, he could easily win over at least 90% of young women.

Zhang Wen swallowed hard and nodded: "I know you."

"Do you have time? I need to talk to you about something. Shall we go out and sit for a while?"

“Okay,” Zhang Wen readily agreed.

She didn't know why she agreed so quickly; maybe it was because her heart was beating too fast.

Zhang Wen picked up her handbag: "There's a newly opened coffee shop across the street, shall we go there?"

“Okay.” Yang Jinwen nodded and led the way.

Zhang Wen, carrying her bag, thought for a moment, then picked up the pen and notebook from the table, quickened her pace, and led the way.

Upon arriving at the coffee shop, Yang Jinwen familiarly ordered two coffees.

Coffee is also a trendy thing, and it is very popular among white-collar workers in the surrounding buildings.

Yang Jinwen found a quiet spot, sat down, and got straight to the point: "Reporter Zhang, I have a favor to ask you."

Zhang Wen smoothed her hair behind her ear and said, "Please tell me."

"I have a case; could you please report on it?"

Zhang Wen knew they were going to talk about this kind of thing, but she felt a little disappointed because it made her feel that the other person's focus wasn't on her.

Yang Jinwen asked, "Are you aware of the murder case at Danbei Coal Mine?"

Zhang Wen rolled her eyes: "Danbei Coal Mine? A criminal case? I'm not too clear on that. I'm just a photojournalist, I'm not in charge of this kind of thing."

"So you can't publish it in the newspaper?"

Zhang Wen shook her head: "I don't have that authority. If it's social news, the department is different, and the editor-in-chief and deputy director have to hold a meeting to discuss the topic."

Who is your editor-in-chief?

"Yong Hong".

“Yong Hong?” Yang Jinwen remembered this person. He had dealt with him when he was investigating the murder case at Chengnan Health School. He was a typical intellectual.

He said, "Could you give her a call? If possible, I'd like to talk to her."

"Uh... okay." Zhang Wen took out her mobile phone and dialed a number.

Not long after, a middle-aged woman dressed in an artistic style walked into the coffee shop.

She recognized Yang Jinwen at a glance.

"Yang Jinwen? A criminal investigator from the Municipal Public Security Bureau? A city hero."

"Hello, Editor-in-Chief Yong."

"This is the second time we've met, isn't it? A year ago, you came to our TV station to investigate a case and asked the receptionist for directions to my office. That girl still remembers you."

She made a witty remark, thinking Yang Jinwen would be shy.

Older women with a little money enjoy watching young men act shy, especially handsome ones.

The more shy you are, the more excited she gets.

But Yang Jinwen's face remained expressionless; he had no interest in joking with her.

Seeing that he didn't respond, Yong Hong sat on the leather sofa and asked, "Captain Yang, what do you want to see me about?"

Yang Jinwen picked up the teapot, poured her a glass of water, and said, "I have a news story that I'd like to ask you to publish."

"A missing person notice? Or a wanted criminal? If it's a wanted criminal, your publicity department will be in contact with us."

Yang Jinwen shook his head: "Neither."

"Then you tell me first."

"it is good."

Yang Jinwen pursed her lips and spent a long time explaining Zhang Chen's case to them.

At first, Yong Hong didn't take it seriously, but the more she listened, the straighter she sat, until she put both hands on the table.

Furthermore, she took out a pen and notebook, and kept making notes in the notebook. When she came to certain time points, she carefully inquired to confirm the time and details of the incident.

After Yang Jinwen finished speaking, both she and Zhang Wen could no longer remain calm.

"This case is too big and has too much social impact. If it is reported, it will definitely cause a reaction."

Yang Jinwen asked, "Can you reimburse me?"

“Yes!” Yong Hong agreed immediately: “This Zhang Chen you mentioned is fighting against the injustice of fate. We must not sit idly by.”

"Well."

After thinking for a moment, Yong Hong added, "Even if we can't report it, I can submit the news material to newspapers and media outlets in the provincial capital, or to media outlets that cover the entire province."

Zhang Wen sighed: "Even so, we can't save Zhang Chen. She has killed too many people, suspected of five deaths. The court will definitely sentence her to death."

Yang Jinwen nodded: "I know, but she can't just die silently like this. Her death must leave something behind."

Yong Hong squinted and said, "Leave this to me. I'll find her a lawyer, the best one!"

Yang Jinwen said, "I will pay for the lawyer's fees."

Yong Hong shook her head: "What money do you need? This case isn't about money. It's an honor for them to get involved."

Even if it only contributes to the progress of governance, even if it's just a tiny step forward, it's still a contribution to society! That's more important than money!

"Editor-in-Chief Yong, thank you." Yang Jinwen sincerely felt that although the middle-aged woman in front of him possessed the advantages of the petty bourgeoisie, she was not weak.

Yong Hong smiled and said, "Captain Yang, Zhang Chen should be thanking you. She met a good policeman."

Yang Jinwen looked out at the street outside the coffee shop. The scorching sun at the end of June was baking the earth, and it was also baking his heart.

If Zhang Chen doesn't intend to turn himself in and chooses to flee again, Yang Jinwen will suffer immense mental anguish.

She made amends for her mistakes.

Yang Jinwen sighed softly: "I should thank her. This is all I can do for her."
