Xia Jie quickly went over: "Master!"
Cheng Hao seemed to sense that he was in a bad mood, and said with a smile, "Let's go, let's go on patrol."
Xia Jie's downcast expression instantly brightened: "Is there a mission?"
Cheng Hao said, "I'll take you for a walk around the streets."
Xia Jie happily replied, "Okay, Master!"
The police car drove out of the police station and onto a nearby street.
Cheng said, "Today, let me show you around the area first. Let's drive slowly."
Xia Jie nodded: "I'll listen to you, Master!"
Cheng smiled and said, "Okay!"
Suddenly, a girl ran towards the police car from the roadside, shouting, "Police officer! Police officer!"
The car screeched to a halt, and Cheng Hao stuck his head out: "Miss, what's wrong?"
The girl said anxiously, "Officer, someone just snatched my bag."
As he spoke, he pointed to a figure running wildly to the south and said, "Look, that's it, it hasn't gone far yet."
Following the direction she pointed, the two saw a man running through the crowd.
Cheng Hao said, "Get in the car."
The girl got into the back seat of the police car, the car started, and it sped off in a flash.
Cheng Hao asked, "What's in the bag?"
The girl thought for a moment: "Cosmetics, cell phone, ID card..."
After chasing for several dozen seconds, the thief stopped, panting, as the distance closed in. Turning around, he saw the police car close behind and took off running into an alley. Cheng Hao and Xia Jie had no choice but to get out of the police car and follow him into the alley.
After making two turns, I entered another alley, which, judging by its location, also led to the food street.
The two chased after him for several dozen meters when the thief suddenly stopped. It turned out that the alley was blocked by iron railings. The thief tried to climb up, but failed.
Seeing the two policemen closing in, the thief panicked, pulled out a knife, and started waving it at them, yelling, "Don't come any closer! Knives don't have eyes!"
Xia Jie had just rushed forward when Cheng Hao stopped and pulled her back: "Xia Jie, come back!"
Xia Jie was stunned: "Master..."
Seeing the thief brandishing a knife, Cheng Hao smiled at him and said, "Sorry, I mistook you for someone else." He then pulled Xia Jie and walked back.
The thief paused for a moment, standing there warily with the knife in his hand. Seeing that they didn't chase after him, he breathed a sigh of relief, put the knife away, and started trying to climb the iron railing again.
After stepping back a short distance, Xia Jie asked, puzzled, "Are we just going to let him go like that?"
"He has a knife, let's go back." Cheng Hao said, urging Xia Jie to continue walking back.
Xia Jie followed behind, unwilling to give up: "Just because he has a knife, we're not going to chase him?"
Cheng Hao, remembering Xia Jie's father who had sacrificed his life, nodded and said, "Yes! He had a knife. If we chase after him, we might hurt someone or ourselves in the middle of a busy area. That wouldn't be good."
Xia Jie asked doubtfully, "But what about the owner? How did we explain that?"
Cheng Hao disagreed: "That doesn't mean we should put ourselves in danger."
Xia Jie fell silent.
Cheng Hao said earnestly, "Xia Jie, remember my words: if the suspect has a weapon, do not rush in! And do not chase the suspect to the point where he has nowhere to escape, he may fight you to the death."
Xia Jie remained silent, only slightly pouting at the corners of her mouth, revealing a somewhat unconvinced expression.
Just a few minutes after Li Mu had been lying in wait by the iron railing, a figure finally managed to climb over with difficulty. Because the iron railing was indeed quite high, over three meters, the person almost fell flat on their face.
Before the thief could even stand up straight, Li Mu kicked him from behind, subduing him. Since he wasn't wearing handcuffs, he could only remove the thief's belt and tie him up directly.
After glancing at the police car a hundred meters away, Li Mu led the thief over.
Over there, Xia Jie followed Cheng back dejectedly. The girl saw them from afar at the alley entrance next to the police car, and with some confusion, ran over.
"Officer, have you caught up?"
Xia Jie shook her head: "Sorry, we didn't catch them."
The girl's face was full of disappointment.
Cheng Hao sighed and said, "Xia Jie, fill out a police report for her and write down her phone number."
The girl panicked: "Officer, where's my bag? Is it gone forever? You saw the thief, were you just going to let him get away like that?"
Xia Jie looked embarrassed: "Don't worry, we will investigate this seriously."
Cheng also comforted him, saying, "We'll contact you when we have any news."
The girl was still unwilling to give up: "But my phone, money, and ID card are all in there."
Xia Jie felt a little guilty after what they said; they had let the thief go because they were afraid of danger. Chief Cheng, being more experienced, looked at the girl with a kind expression.
"Don't worry, girl, the thief won't get away. Even if you don't catch him today, you'll definitely catch him in the future."
The girl asked, "Then? If they grab it again, can I get my things back?"
Cheng was speechless. If they couldn't catch him today, even if they did catch him later, the chances of getting the item back were slim.
"This is a bit difficult, but we will try our best to help you find your things."
The girl was extremely disappointed.
"Oh, that's how it is!"
Xia Jie naturally understood that after today, even if the thief was caught again, the stolen goods would be gone forever. No amount of promises would be of much use.
I felt even more disappointed.
Cheng noticed this and was about to say a few words of comfort to him.
A voice came from behind: "What are you chatting about! You've caught the thief, do you still want him?"
Xia Jie turned around and was pleasantly surprised to see Li escorting the thief over.
"Officer Li, how... how did you catch the thief?"
Li Mu said, "How can I catch him? I just stood near the iron railing at the alley entrance. This thief didn't go anywhere else; he almost tripped and fell flat on his face right in front of me. He delivered himself right to my doorstep. I'd be embarrassed not to catch him."
As he spoke, Li Mu shook the woman's handbag in his hand and said to the somewhat surprised girl, "Come over and check if anything is missing from your bag."
The girl ran over excitedly and said, "Okay! Okay!"
Cheng smiled at Li Mu, his expression much more relaxed.
"Director Li, thank you for today!"
Li Mu said, "Don't be so polite with me, it's only right."
After checking her bag, the girl said gratefully, "Thank you, thank you."
Li Mu nodded and smiled: "You're welcome."
Then, Li Mu looked at Cheng Suo and Xia Jie and said, "I have to go home for a while. I'll leave the suspect to you."
Cheng said, "Don't worry, leave it to us."
Li Mu nodded, took the handcuffs from Cheng, re-cuffed the thief, said goodbye, bought some food at the snack street, and then ran home.
Having eaten and drunk my fill at home, I glanced at the mission of this world: to be an outstanding people's police officer, punishing evil and promoting good.
After resting for a while, I drove to the police station to work.
As soon as the car entered the police station compound, Cao Jianjun pulled two people out of the police car. One was handcuffed, and the other had his hands tied with rope. They walked towards the police hall.
Li Mu greeted him with a smile, "Old Cao, not bad, another success!"
Cao Jianjun smiled smugly and said, "Director Li, you're too kind. It's nothing. I heard you went to catch a murderer yesterday, and you were much more capable than the two petty thieves I caught."
Just then, Director Wang Shouyi and several interns happened to pass by.
"Jianjun's back! You... arrested two at once?" Jianjun exclaimed in surprise.
Cao Jianjun said, "I ran into these two guys on the road. They had stolen a motorcycle and were riding it away when I knocked them down with my car. I brought them back together."
Wang Shouyi was stunned: "One against two, impressive, but be careful next time, don't be so impulsive, and protect yourself."
Cao Jianjun nodded and said, "Understood, Director."
Li Dawei, Yang Shu, and Xia Jie, seeing the somewhat unfamiliar Officer Cao, also stopped to watch out of curiosity.
Li Dawei asked, "Who is this? He's so amazing!"
Just then, a police officer who happened to be nearby came over to watch the commotion and said, "Of course it's Cao Jianjun, our station and our branch, a well-known hero in the police force."
Li Dawei asked, "So, who's more capable, him, Gao, or Li?"
The veteran policeman smiled knowingly: "Chief Li hasn't been here long, so he doesn't know much. As for comparing him to Chief Gao, you'll see for yourself later."
Cao Jianjun stood there proudly amidst everyone's chatter, while Li Dawei looked on with longing.
……
Li Mu arrived at his office and had only been sitting for a short while when a police officer notified him to go to the station chief's office for a meeting.
Upon arrival, Ye Wei, Gao Chao, Chen Xincheng, Cao Jianjun, and others were successively invited over.
