Major Crimes Unit Starts with Police Academy Students

"Thank you, Master,"

Then, she saw a family photo on Cheng Hao's desk, and for a moment her expression became somewhat dazed.

She seemed to see the family photo that her father used to keep on his desk.

In the photo, the ten-year-old girl is nestled beside her parents, smiling happily; the scene is very heartwarming.

After a long while, Xia Jie came to her senses. After putting down her bag, she seemed to be deep in thought, and then something suddenly occurred to her.

She asked,

"Chief Cheng, do the other trainee police officers also have offices?"

Cheng Hao immediately shook his head.

"Of course not. There's not even an office, not even a desk. However, there is one exception,"

Before Cheng Hao could finish speaking, Xia Jie stiffened and picked up her bag again.

She said,

"Director Cheng, then I'll just do the same as them."

Cheng Hao said dismissively,

"It's alright. You're a young lady, you can't compare yourself to them, and besides..."

Xia Jie interrupted Cheng Hao directly, stubbornly saying,

"Master, thank you for your kindness, but we are all trainee officers, so I'll go down now."

After saying that, she strode out of Cheng Hao's office.

Cheng Hao looked at Xia Jie's retreating figure, a hint of approval in his eyes.

He thought to himself, "This girl really does have the same temperament as the old director; she's too stubborn."

Early in the morning, after bidding farewell to his mother, Wu Mingcheng set off for Zhuzhou City.

At this time, Wu Mingcheng had already arrived in Zhuzhou City at 553 and boarded a bus.

This bus goes directly to Jiulihe Community, which is very convenient.

Before he left, his mother, Hu Ping, had suggested that he drive one of their cars directly to the Jiulihe Police Station.

However, Wu Mingcheng still refused, after all, he was only going as a trainee police officer.

Many police officers at local police stations can only afford one house in their entire lives.

It wasn't ideal for him to drive there; he should keep a low profile and avoid being too ostentatious.

Because it was during the morning rush hour, he found that there were already many passengers on the bus after he boarded.

Suddenly, he spotted a familiar figure; he recognized him from the disciplinary notices posted on the bulletin board of the Hebei Provincial Police Academy.

He was Li Dawei, a fellow trainee police officer at the Jiulihe Police Station, just like him.

Li Dawei, wearing headphones, turned sideways and squeezed into the crowded throng.

He held onto the handrail with one hand, and in the other hand, he held a phone displaying a live game stream.

Out of habit, Li Dawei has always been paying attention to the people around him, whether consciously or unconsciously.

Chapter 205 Is the old lady a human trafficker?

At this moment, Wu Mingcheng and Li Dawei both noticed a grandmother and grandson on the bus. They both felt that the grandmother and grandson were behaving strangely.

The little boy was about two or three years old, with fair and delicate skin.

His clothes were clearly very elegant, suggesting that his family was quite well-off.

The old woman holding the child, however, looked somewhat rustic, with rough skin.

On the bus, she appeared slightly nervous, and her clothes were very simple.

She carried an old-fashioned green cloth bag slung across her shoulder, which seemed somewhat out of place.

The bus was extremely crowded during the morning rush hour, and most passengers seemed listless.

Moreover, since everyone woke up very early in the morning, they were all still a little sleepy.

Suddenly, without any warning, the little boy burst into tears and squirmed in the old man's arms.

Perhaps concerned for the boy's safety while the car was moving, the elderly woman held down the boy's legs to prevent him from moving around.

Li Dawei was quite close to the grandmother and grandson, and was genuinely startled by the crying. He then looked at the two of them.

The little boy was crying very pitifully, hitting the old woman repeatedly with his hands, and shouting incoherently.

"Mom...Mom...I'm looking for Mommy..."

The old woman tried to stop the little boy from crying, but she couldn't hold down his hands, feet, and mouth at the same time.

So she quickly took a bottle of mineral water out of her bag, intending to feed the child a sip.

But the little boy struggled too much in the old woman's arms, and it was no use.

The child's crying also caused dissatisfaction among other passengers on the bus.

People criticized it.

"Oh dear, your child kicked someone,"

"Grandma, please be gentle with the child,"

"You should try to appease them, they're really making a scene,"

"Yes, people are already quite sleepy,"

................................................

Hearing the people's complaints, the old lady became visibly more flustered.

She used a heavily accented Mandarin to scare the child, saying,

"Stop howling, or I'll punch you!"

Her words of fright only made the child cry even louder.

At that moment, someone suddenly blurted out,

"Hey, old lady, are you really the child's grandmother?"

Upon hearing this, the people in the car were immediately startled and all looked at her.

"Could they be human traffickers?"

"I just saw her cover the child's mouth,"

"Call the police immediately!"

...................................................

A commotion broke out inside the car, naturally attracting the attention of the driver in the driver's seat.

The driver had no choice but to pull over to the side of the road, which only made things worse inside the car.

The old woman became very nervous when she saw a group of people shouting at her, and tried to get off the bus with her child in her arms.

As a result, everyone feared she was a human trafficker, so they all surrounded her and wouldn't let her leave.

At this moment, Li Dawei squeezed his way to the old lady's side and shouted loudly,

"I am a police officer,"

Wu Mingcheng was about to come out, but when he saw Li Dawei step forward, he stopped.

He watched from the sidelines to see how Li Dawei handled the situation, figuring he could step in later if Li Dawei couldn't manage.

Upon hearing Li Dawei's shout, everyone suddenly fell silent, except for the child's cries.

Seeing him walk towards her, the old woman became even more nervous, hugged the child tightly, and squeezed towards the door.

She stammered, her words slightly stuttering.

"I want to...I want to...get off the bus,"

Li Dawei observed the old lady's reaction and said aloud,

"Grandma, I'm a police officer. Don't panic, just explain yourself."

Can you prove your relationship with this child? May I see your identification?

The old woman clearly had little experience with the police and seemed quite frightened.

"No, I didn't bring it, child... grandson, let me off the bus..."

Li Dawei glanced at the child, and then said,

"The child has been crying; he's probably hungry. Why don't you give him something to eat first?"

The old lady continued to shake her head and said...

"I didn't bring it..."

This caused an even greater uproar among the passengers, who began to whisper among themselves again.

"She's definitely not the child's grandmother,"
