Xia Jie hesitated and remained silent. According to relevant regulations, they were not allowed to pass any information to the suspect.
The man, looking pained, pleaded urgently.
"Please, Officer Xia, please help me! My child's medicine is life-saving!"
Without the medication, if the child has an asthma attack, he could die in no time. Please, have a kind heart and save the child's life.
Xia Jie thought of the little girl and finally nodded, saying...
"Okay, then I'll ask for you."
The man was immediately extremely grateful.
"Well, Officer Xia, should I call you again, or...?"
Xia Jie was torn internally at this moment, unsure whether agreeing to the man's request was the right or wrong thing to do.
She responded,
"I've finished asking, I'll call you now."
After saying that, she turned around and walked back to her seat.
At this moment, she was once again in a state of unease, unsure of what to do.
Xia Jie was in a daze all morning, and seemed preoccupied while doing things.
After resting, Wu Mingcheng returned to the police station.
After seeing him, Xia Jie thought she should first talk to Wu Mingcheng about it and seek his opinion.
So she called Wu Mingcheng out and said,
“Mingcheng, that woman’s husband contacted me before, saying that his child has asthma and he doesn’t know where to put him. He wants me to ask the woman. Do you think I should ask for him?”
Upon hearing this, Wu Mingcheng knew there was something fishy going on and realized something was amiss.
He hadn't expected Xia Jie to be so naive and innocent, actually falling for this woman's tricks.
Moreover, he suddenly realized that the role of medicine in shady dealings was not just what it seemed on the surface.
Wu Mingcheng has a beginner-level memory, which means he can now basically remember everything he sees.
He remembered browsing through many case files before; in shady dealings, "medicine" generally referred to something that could control others.
He slowly began to speak.
"Xiaojie, I know you mean well, but what you're doing is against the rules,"
After hearing this, Xia Jie hesitated for a moment.
“Mingcheng, I know, but that child is innocent; he shouldn’t suffer along with his parents.”
Wu Mingcheng shook his head. Xia Jie was still too naive and lacked experience.
Putting aside whether the child actually has asthma,
If this man is truly the child's biological father, how could he not know where the asthma medication is kept?
Therefore, Wu Mingcheng deduced that this man definitely had ulterior motives and wanted to communicate through coded language.
He is very likely one of the escaped members of this prostitution ring.
He thought for a moment, then spoke.
"How about this, Xiaojie, this kind of thing isn't very reliable. Don't rush to ask. Leave this to me."
You can arrange to meet this man this afternoon; I want to see what's going on.
If it's true, we can explain the situation to Director Cheng and the others. They'll definitely allow it."
Xia Jie nodded upon hearing Wu Mingcheng's words. Wu Mingcheng's considerations were indeed more comprehensive than hers.
So she said,
"Then Mingcheng, I'll have to trouble you with this matter. It was originally because of me, but now I've made you worry."
Wu Mingcheng said with a smile,
"It's alright, your business is my business. I'll see him this afternoon and ask him properly."
While he said that, he was already thinking about how to catch him that afternoon.
In the afternoon, Xia Jie successfully got the man to come out again.
After Wu Mingcheng found out, he went to find Li Dawei.
"Dawei, come out with me for a bit,"
Li Dawei looked at him with suspicion, and said, "730."
"Mingcheng, where are you going? We finally don't have to be on duty, where are you going? To work for someone else?"
Wu Mingcheng said with a smile,
“Go help me catch someone. What? You don’t want to go? Then I’ll call someone else. I see Yang Shu and Ji Wei are free.”
Upon hearing about the arrest, Li Dawei immediately perked up and excitedly said...
"Hey, Mingcheng, no way! I was just kidding. I'll go with you."
Wu Mingcheng smiled slightly, and the two of them drove away from the police station in a police car.
This prostitution case was filed with the municipal police bureau and was considered a major case.
After Cheng Hao and his team apprehended the man and conducted a brief interrogation, the municipal police began to intervene.
Because the Jiulihe Police Station has limited space, these individuals need to be transferred to the detention center for further interrogation.
At that moment, a policewoman called out to Xia Jie.
"Xiaojie, come here quickly!"
Xia Jie got up and went over, quickly asking,
"What?"
The policewoman then said,
"Those who have been interrogated need to be sent to the detention center. We need female police officers on the vehicle, but we're short-handed. You'll come in one of the vehicles too."
Chapter 330 Offering Itself
Xia Jie was immediately taken aback.
"Huh? They're sending him to the detention center so quickly?"
The policewoman said,
"This is a major case that the city bureau is monitoring. They need to increase their resources to investigate there. We can't handle it all here. Let's hurry."
Xia Jie hesitated for a moment, remembering that the woman with the child hadn't eaten all day.
She suddenly turned and ran towards the institute's cafeteria, went straight to the window, looked inside, and saw that there were still fried chicken legs.
She then said...
"Master, give me two of these."
With that, she swiped her meal card, picked up the fried chicken leg, and turned to leave.
At that moment, several police cars were parked in the police station courtyard, and several policemen were escorting prostitutes into the cars one by one.
Xia Jie ran over carrying a chicken leg when someone called her name.
"Xiaojie, you bet on this one,"
Xia Jie craned her neck out the window, and finding the woman wasn't inside, she didn't get on the bus.
So she wanted to find that woman, to give her the fried chicken leg so she could have a bite.
Suddenly, she saw the policewoman who had called her earlier, ran over to her, and asked...
"Sister Xu, do you know which car that woman with the child was on this morning?"
Sister Xu was also a little puzzled and said in confusion,
"Xiaojie, which woman are you talking about?"
Xia Jie then said,
"She had a child with her, so we brought her back later,"
Sister Xu suddenly realized and said,
"Oh, so you're talking about the main culprit? No wonder Mingcheng is so capable; he just helped out and brought the main culprit back."
Xia Jie was stunned upon hearing this, and asked again,
"Sister Xu, what did you just say? She's the main culprit? Which one are you talking about?"
Sister Xu turned around, and the woman was pressing her face against the car window, looking at them.
She pointed at the woman inside the car.
"You mean her? The people at the city police station have already identified her; she's the main culprit."
Xia Jie glanced at the woman, who, noticing Xia Jie looking at her, quickly offered a fawning smile.
