Film and Television World Life Record

Yang Shu was at a loss for what to do and could only follow.

The group of men escorted Ding Dayong out of the alley and onto the street. The elderly couple followed behind, crying and pleading, "Son! Please let me see our son one more time, just one more time!"

The lights on both sides came on, and villagers came out of their homes one after another, discussing the matter in a chaotic manner.

"What happened?"

"What's wrong!"

"Go out and take a look!"

Yang Shu looked back and saw the old woman fall, get up and chase after her again, feeling a pang of pity: "Surname Gao...she..."

This time, Gao Chao completely ignored Yang Shu. Instead, Chen Xincheng told Yang Shu, "Hurry up and don't cause any trouble. Keep up."

Over there, Li Mu and another police officer escorted Ding Dayong into the car and handcuffed him. Another group of people also caught up and got into the police car.

The elderly couple were still staggering after them. Yang Shu ran to the police car but didn't get in. He turned back to look at the couple, somewhat puzzled, and said, "Chief Gao, isn't this a bit inappropriate..."

Gao Chao retorted, "What's wrong with it?"

"That old lady..." Yang Shu turned around and saw the old lady stumble and fall again. He instinctively ran back and rushed towards the fallen old woman.

Gao Chao was furious: "Yang Shu, come back!"

Unmoved, Yang Shu continued running toward the fallen old lady.

Li Dawei, quick-witted, immediately said, "I'll go and bring him back!"

"This is really... I'm so worried!" Gao Chao said to the police officer driving the car, "Drive forward, don't wait, let's go and bring the person back, wait for us outside the village."

Li Mu glanced at Yang Shu and then jumped out of the car. Kindness and compassion are good things, but one must be mindful of the occasion and the person being treated.

A group of villagers, carrying sticks and farm tools, came out of their homes and gathered around. If he fell, his wife would take care of him, and a whole bunch of villagers would look after him; why did you need to run back?

Yang Shu ran to the old lady and reached out to help her up, saying, "Grandma, please don't get agitated. Trust the police, trust the law..."

Unexpectedly, the old woman grabbed him and shouted, "They're kidnapping him! The police are kidnapping him!"

Yang Shu looked up and saw a group of people running up behind the old woman, carrying flashlights, sticks, and farm tools, shouting as they approached. He was immediately stunned: "What are you doing here...?"

Li Dawei rushed up and desperately tried to pull the old woman's hand away: "Yang Shu, stop talking, run, run!"

The old woman clung tightly to the poplar tree, wailing and crying, "Give me back my Dayong!"

As the villagers drew closer, Gao Chao's expression changed drastically, and he kept urging, "Hurry up, drive away!"

When the old woman saw the villagers arrive, she became even more agitated and started hitting the poplar tree repeatedly, yelling, "Give me back my son! Give me back my son!"

Yang Shu, looking disheveled, used his hands to defend himself: "You are suspected of obstructing official business and assaulting a police officer..."

Li Dawei said helplessly, "It's no use talking to her about this."

"Let go!"

"On what grounds are you arresting people!"

Before the villagers could gather around, Li Mu walked over, grabbed the bewildered poplar tree, and said, "Stop dawdling here, let's go!"

The group jogged towards the edge of the village, followed by the elderly couple who staggered after them, and several villagers who emerged from various intersections to surround them.

Just then, seven or eight villagers appeared at the intersection ahead, carrying sticks and farm tools, and blocked the road menacingly. Gao Chao, Li Dawei, Yang Shu... felt a chill run down their spines. If they were really blocked, a large group of villagers would surround them from behind, and something might happen.

Li Mu released the poplar tree and strode towards the group of villagers blocking his way. As he walked, he said in a somewhat authoritative voice, "We are police officers, carrying out an arrest! Ding Dayong is suspected of murdering two innocent citizens and is a Class A wanted criminal by the Ministry of Public Security. What do you mean by blocking our way? Are you accomplices, or are you trying to protect him?"

The villagers exchanged glances, their movements hesitant.

Seeing the growing number of villagers chasing after them, Li Mu shouted sternly, "Get out of the way! As law-abiding residents, obstructing police officers in the performance of their duties and hindering the police from apprehending fugitives—you should know how serious that crime is!"

“Or rather, you want to assault the police.” As he spoke, Li Mu pulled out a pistol and pointed it at the sky.

The villagers blocking his way were startled and instinctively made way for him. Li Mu ignored the sticks and farm tools in their hands and strode past them.

If any villagers dare to attack the police, Li Mu will not be polite to them. Not to mention his own martial arts skills, the gun in his hand is not a useless weapon.

The group followed Li Mu and successfully left the village, while the elderly couple and some villagers continued to chase after them.

Before getting into the police car, the group turned around and saw a man who looked like a village official in his fifties running up to the villagers, panting and shouting, "Wait! Wait! What are you trying to do? The police are handling a case. What are you doing?"

After shouting loudly for a while, the villagers finally stopped chasing the elderly couple, and the crowd gradually dispersed.

Everyone was finally on the police car, which quickly started and drove onto the main road. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Dawei exclaimed, "Director Li, you're really amazing! Those people were carrying sticks and farm tools. If you hadn't led the way and walked through them, I really wouldn't have dared to follow."

Li Mu said, "It's nothing. What era are we living in now? Let alone a big city like ours. Although it's a rural-urban fringe area, the villagers stick together. They're all ordinary villagers. It's fine for them to join in the fun and make a fuss, but how many people would dare to do something like assaulting a police officer?"

Li Dawei said, "Then you're very impressive too!"

Gao Chao also gave Li Mu a thumbs up.

Yang Shu, who had been keeping his head down, finally spoke, "Chief Gao, Chief Li... I'm sorry about what happened earlier. I've caused you trouble."

Gao Chao turned his head, closed his eyes, and mumbled, "It's okay, it's over."

Li Mu said, "Then learn from this lesson and try not to make the same mistake again. However, your heart is good, and you can continue to maintain that, but you should use your kindness on people who deserve it."

Yang Shu nodded easily: "I understand, Director Gao and Director Li."

Then, with a conflicted expression, she continued, "At the time, I felt that whatever crime Ding Dayong committed was his own business, and his parents were innocent. It would be too cruel for them to just leave like that. Who knew... who knew it would end up like that?"

Gao Chao suddenly opened his eyes and looked at him: "You experienced what just happened, right? If you're not cruel to them, you're cruel to us! What if something terrible had happened if Director Li hadn't acted decisively?"

Yang Shu bowed his head and apologized: "I'm sorry. It's my fault for being inexperienced and not handling it well."

"Good to know." Gao Chao didn't hide his dissatisfaction and closed his eyes again.

Seeing the dejected look on Yang Shu's face, Li Mu patted him on the shoulder, said nothing, and closed his eyes to rest.

Chapter 356 Waiting for the rabbit

At the Balihe Police Station, a duty officer received a notification from Gao Chao that the arrest had gone smoothly. The group immediately returned to the station and ran out of the duty room to call Wang Shouyi: "Chief, Chief Gao and his team made a successful arrest and are coming back soon!"

"I'm back!" Wang Shouyi, who was sleeping in the office, washed his face, got up and ran outside.

Zhao Jiwei was still staying up all night watching the 500 hours of surveillance footage of the stolen diapers when he saw Wang Shouyi and a police officer on duty coming down from upstairs. He got excited and followed the station chief, Wang Shouyi, as they ran outside.

The police officers who were working overtime also went out to join in the excitement, after all, it was a major event like catching a murderer, something that the police station might only encounter once a year.

Wang Shouyi led the police officers on duty to stand in formation on both sides of the gate to welcome their triumphant return.

Less than two minutes later, two police cars stopped in front of the police station. Gao Chao got out first, followed by Li Mu and Chen Xincheng. Wang Shouyi led the on-duty police officers to greet them.

Gao Chao saluted triumphantly: "Reporting to the director, the mission was successfully completed!"

Wang Shouyi patted him on the shoulder: "You've worked hard."

Then he looked at Li Mu and Chen Xincheng...

"You've all worked so hard!"

We had barely exchanged a few pleasantries when the district criminal investigation team was notified halfway there, and they had already arrived.

The team leader was Deputy Captain Luo of the Criminal Investigation Team. He stepped forward and shook hands with Gao Chao and Li Mu: "Chief Gao, Chief Li, you've done all the work for our Criminal Investigation Team!"

Gao Chao laughed and said, "It's okay, the credit is still on your names. You should go up on stage to receive the award."

Captain Luo punched him: "Are you insulting me?"

Everyone laughed.

The last few police officers dragged Ding Dayong out of the car. Captain Luo waved his hand, and two criminal police officers behind him took Ding Dayong and put him into another police car.

Wang Shouyi said, "Alright, hand the man over to Captain Luo. From now on, we won't be involved in interrogations, convictions, meritorious service, or awards. Gao Chao, Li Mu... you two should go back and rest."

Captain Luo laughed and said, "Chief Wang, that's not very kind of you! Next time you have a case to transfer to us, you'd better not stand idly by."

Wang Shouyi's Sichuan-style face-changing technique was already superb. He laughed and said, "Actually, none of us can do without the others; we need to cooperate with each other."

Captain Luo prepared to get into the car: "Haha, what Wang said is true."

Wang Shouyi waved: "Take care, Captain Luo."

Captain Luo waved to Wang Shouyi and led his men away.

Now that he had finished his work at the institute, Li Mu said goodbye to everyone, got in his car, and went straight back to rest.

The next day, when the sun was high in the sky, Li Mu got up a little late, which was unusual for him. Because of the arrest mission the night before, he could go later that morning, so he had plenty of time.

As usual, Li Mu ran to the park a kilometer or two away to exercise.

On the way back, I passed by the snack street and saw two familiar figures flash by in the distance. It turned out to be Cheng Suo and Xia Jie.

A girl followed behind, shouting for help to catch the thief.

Li Mu instantly recalled this plot: on the second day after reporting for duty, Director Cheng was on patrol with Xia Jie when they encountered someone trying to snatch a bag. Director Cheng was afraid that Xia Jie would get hurt, but in the end, the thief still got away.

After thinking for a moment, Li Mu looked around and came to an alley blocked by iron railings. He found a secluded corner that wouldn't attract attention and quietly squatted down there. If nothing unexpected happened, he could just wait here for his prey to come to him.

……

Because of her mother, Xia Jie wasn't in a good mood when she came to work at the station today. She was secretly envious when she heard that Yang Shu and Li Dawei had successfully completed their arrest mission. Unfortunately, she didn't go to work because of her mother's phone call.

After chatting briefly with Zhao Jiwei, who was also very envious, her mentor, Cheng Suo, arrived.

"Xiao Jie, so early."
