Major Crimes Unit Starts with Police Academy Students

Wu Mingcheng strode into the convenience store and showed the store owner his police ID.

　677 He began to speak,

"Hello, boss, we're from Jiulihe Police Station. There's a little girl who's lost in Sunshine Garden."

We need to see the CCTV footage outside your door this afternoon. Is that convenient for you?

And clearly, the boss was very cooperative, immediately saying...

"Of course,"

Immediately, Li Dawei, who typically plays a supporting role in the three-person team, went to the computer displaying the convenience store's security camera footage and pulled up the afternoon's recordings.

Going through several hours of surveillance footage second by second in an afternoon would be too time-consuming.

If something were to happen to the little girl during that time, they would be powerless to help.

Therefore, they had to buy time and find footage of the little girl as quickly as possible.

Wu Mingcheng's eyesight was also enhanced after his body was strengthened.

Just as Li Dawei was playing the recording second by second, Wu Mingcheng spoke up.

"No, we have to hurry. This is too slow. Let's speed it up to double speed."

Chapter 285 Where Did the Little Girl Go?

Li Dawei immediately followed Wu Mingcheng's instructions and switched the video playback speed to double speed. The video played much faster, showing people coming and going at the entrance of the residential area.

To be honest, this speed was already overwhelming for most people present.

However, in Wu Mingcheng's view, this speed was still a bit slow and wasted some time.

He continued,

"Dawei, still slow, turn it up to three times speed,"

Upon hearing this, Li Dawei quickly adjusted the camera, and the speed of the video increased dramatically.

People nearby could only see people coming and going at the entrance of the residential area on the surveillance footage; they couldn't even make out the faces clearly.

Chen Xincheng stared at the computer screen for more than ten minutes, and suddenly felt that his eyes were about to blur.

Wu Mingcheng suddenly spoke again at this moment.

"Dawei, keep it up, four times the speed!"

Li Dawei, sitting in front of his computer, sped up his work. After adjusting, the computer screen only showed a fleeting figure passing by the entrance of the residential area.

This four-times speed was actually already at the limit that Wu Mingcheng's eyes could withstand.

This sparked quiet discussions among the crowd, and some even raised questions.

"No, I can't see anything at all!"

"Yeah, what can you see with this? My eyes are getting blurry,"

"It felt like they were just going through the motions."

"That's right. They're not your own children, so they definitely won't care much about them."

"Don't say that. That young armed police officer was quite responsible last time he came,"

……………………………………………………………

After hearing the questioning voices from the onlookers, Chen Xincheng turned his gaze to Wu Mingcheng, who was intently focused on the computer screen.

At this moment, neither he nor Li Dawei dared to step forward and disturb Wu Mingcheng.

Wu Mingcheng suddenly narrowed his eyes and said,

"Right here, pause."

Upon hearing this, Li Dawei immediately pressed the pause button.

At this moment, the surveillance footage showed a little girl carrying a small bag leaving alone.

Wu Mingcheng quickly turned around and asked the couple,

"Sir, Madam, is this your daughter?"

Upon hearing Wu Mingcheng's question, the couple quickly went to the computer screen.

The wife then said sadly,

"This is my daughter, and the bag she's carrying is one I bought for her before,"

The surrounding crowd was amazed by what they saw.

"Wow, I actually found it!"

"This young armed police officer is really impressive,"

"This is unbelievable!"

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

Upon hearing his wife's words, Wu Mingcheng nodded and said...

"It seems we can be pretty sure of one thing: the little girl must have run away on her own, and wasn't taken away by human traffickers."

The couple breathed a sigh of relief, just glad they hadn't been taken away by human traffickers.

Wu Mingcheng considered for a moment, then asked again,

Do you know where she usually likes to go around this area? Or are there places you often take her to play?

After thinking about it carefully, the husband finally spoke.

"She probably went to the nearby forest park. Before our Liujiazhuang village was demolished, I often took her there to play."

And it's not far away; it was right next to our village before the demolition, so it's very convenient.”

Wu Mingcheng nodded. If he guessed correctly, the little girl had probably gone to the forest park her husband had mentioned.

He spoke to Chen Xincheng and Li Dawei, who were standing beside him.

"Uncle Chen, Dawei, this little girl must have gone to the forest park,"

Chen Xincheng inquired,

"So? How confident are you in your guess?"

Wu Mingcheng considered it for a moment, and then said,

"pretty close,"

Chen Xincheng was quite inclined to believe Wu Mingcheng's speculation, which was also related to Wu Mingcheng's usual behavior.

If this guess came from Li Dawei, then he most likely wouldn't accept it.

He said decisively,

"Then let's go to the forest park to look,"

Wu Mingcheng then turned to the couple and said,

"If nothing unexpected happens, your daughter should have gone to this forest park. We're planning to go there to look for her now."

The husband, who remained relatively calm, quickly expressed his gratitude.

"Thank you so much, officers, for your hard work,"

Wu Mingcheng waved his hand and said,

"This is what we should do,"

At this moment, the villagers from Sunshine Home who had been watching also wanted to go and search for it.

Wu Mingcheng, Chen Xincheng, and Li Dawei got into the police car and headed to the forest park first.

Li Dawei asked curiously in the car.

"Mingcheng, how can you be so sure that the little girl is in the forest park? What if (Wang Zhaozhao) the little girl isn't in the forest park?"

Wu Mingcheng smiled slightly and replied,

"What do you think is the only thing that can attract a little girl of this age to leave the neighborhood, besides playing?"

In fact, if you pay more attention to human trafficking cases, you'll find a common thread.

These criminal suspects all used toys to attract children. What does this tell us?

This shows that children are primarily focused on playing; they don't yet have concepts like money in their minds.

After listening, Li Dawei immediately nodded in understanding.

At this moment, he was overjoyed. He had learned another skill from Wu Mingcheng, and had learned something new from him.

Seeing Li Dawei's reaction, Chen Xincheng shook his head with a wry smile.

Chapter 286 The Arduous Search

When the three of them arrived at the entrance of the forest park, gazing at the vast forest park,

Li Dawei couldn't help but say...

"Wow, this forest park is huge! How long will it take to find us?"
