Major Crimes Unit Starts with Police Academy Students

Cheng Hao still had confidence in Wu Mingcheng, especially since Wu Mingcheng had discovered the footprints.

He then said with great confidence,

"Chief, don't worry, we have obtained important clues and believe we will solve this theft case soon,"

Upon hearing this, Wang Shouyi nodded.

After obtaining the driver's detailed information, the Jiulihe Police Station quickly launched an investigation.

Not long after, they returned to the police station, where Xia Jie entered the driver's ID information.

It was quickly discovered that the driver had purchased a high-speed rail ticket online for another city, departing this afternoon.

Upon learning this, Cheng Hao immediately said,

"We don't need to get the old guys involved in catching a driver. Let a few newbies go and give them some practice."

Upon hearing this, Yang Shu, Zhao Jiwei, Xia Jie, and the others felt a surge of excitement.

Cheng Hao looked at Wu Mingcheng and said,

"Then Mingcheng will lead the team, take a few new recruits, and bring this driver back to me."

Upon hearing this, Wu Mingcheng and the others immediately stood up, saluted, and stood at attention.

"Commander Cheng, understood. Complete the mission with determination."

Next, Wu Mingcheng and his group arrived at the high-speed rail station, deciding to wait there for the driver to arrive.

Soon, about forty minutes later, it was time for the high-speed train to depart.

The driver appeared at the high-speed rail station, got out of the taxi, and cautiously looked around.

He was dressed all in black, wearing a baseball cap pulled low so that his face was barely visible.

Xia Jie and her team, who were scattered and keeping watch in various locations, spotted the driver immediately.

Wu Mingcheng immediately gave instructions via walkie-talkie.

"I'll say it again, everyone must obey my orders and absolutely no one is allowed to act on their own,"

Yang Shu, Xia Jie, and the others readily agreed upon hearing Wu Mingcheng's words.

"Yes,"

This was Zhao Jiwei's first time personally participating in a capture mission, and he was understandably very excited.

After noticing the suspect, he stared intently at him.

He thought to himself, Li Dawei and Wu Mingcheng have already made so many contributions, while he hasn't made even one.

Since I only get to participate in a mission like this once in a while, I must make the most of this opportunity.

Just as the driver was about to go through security, Zhao Jiwei was the first to lose his composure.

Therefore, without waiting for Wu Mingcheng's instructions, he rushed out immediately.

He pointed at the driver and shouted,

"Police are investigating. Everyone get out of the way and don't move!"

Seeing this scene with Zhao Lihao, Li Dawei couldn't help but rub his forehead and say helplessly,

"My goodness, what are you doing?"

Because of Zhao Jiwei's actions, Wu Mingcheng and Xia Jie were completely exposed.

Upon seeing this, the driver immediately realized something was wrong and understood that these people might be there to arrest him. He quickly ducked into the high-speed rail station.

Upon seeing the fleeing suspect, Zhao Jiwei immediately realized his mistake and hurriedly gave chase in the direction the suspect had escaped.

Seeing this, Wu Mingcheng had no choice but to say...

"Everyone, get out there and make sure you catch the driver!"

Fortunately, Wu Mingcheng, Yang Shu, Li Dawei, and others arrived in time and blocked the driver.

After they went up to him, they immediately pinned him to the ground without saying a word.

Chapter 371 The safe is empty?

Wu Mingcheng then leaned closer to him and asked,

"Is your boss Wang Shi from the pawnshop? Are you his driver?"

The driver, looking pained, hesitated for a moment before admitting it.

"Yes,"

Wu Mingcheng nodded and said,

"Then that's it, take him away."

On the way back, Wu Mingcheng looked at Zhao Jiwei, who had remained silent since getting on the bus.

He opened his mouth and said,

"Jiwei, do you know what? Just now, because of your momentary impulse, we almost let the suspect go?"

Furthermore, I want to ask you, I clearly warned you to follow your instructions, yet you still rushed out?

At this moment, Li Dawei, Yang Shu, Xia Jie, and the others in the car all turned their gazes toward Zhao Jiwei.

Zhao Jiwei wanted to speak,

“Mingcheng, I…”

Wu Mingcheng interrupted him directly at this point.

"You don't need to explain to me; I will report the situation to my superiors in detail."

Think carefully about how to explain this to the director and the others, and reflect on your mistakes.

Although Li Dawei and Yang Shu were also furious, they heard Wu Ming's words and wanted to say something, but ultimately remained silent.

Upon hearing Wu Mingcheng's words, Zhao Jiwei's expression darkened, and he felt a sense of unease.

He was certain he'd get a good scolding when he got back, but what he feared most was that the director and his team wouldn't let him participate in these kinds of missions in the future.

Wu Mingcheng and his group escorted the driver directly to the Jiulihe Police Station and took him straight to the interrogation room.

At this moment, Chen Xincheng, along with Wu Mingcheng and Li Dawei, were sitting in the interrogation area.

Wang Shouyi, Cheng Hao, Gao Chao, and others observed the interrogation from behind a mirror.

Wang Shouyi looked at the driver sitting there and breathed a long sigh of relief. He felt that the Jiulihe Police Station was about to make a contribution.

He said,

"I didn't expect this case to be so easy; I thought it was going to be transferred to the municipal bureau."

Cheng Hao also said with a happy expression,

"Yes, I didn't expect the case to be so clear-cut; they quickly identified the suspect."

Inside the interrogation room, Chen Xincheng's authoritative voice rang out as he solemnly stated,

"Now that you're here, just tell the truth. You should know what's going on in your life."

The middle-aged male driver had a mournful face and his hands and feet were trembling.

He said in a trembling voice,

"Officer, I'm innocent! I really didn't steal the diamonds!"

Wu Mingcheng, standing next to Chen Xincheng, held in his hand the picture of the footprint that had been collected from the scene.

"Really? But we did find a footprint at the scene."

After comparing the results with the experimental equipment, it is yours. Can you explain this to us?

Knowing he couldn't deny it, the driver could only admit the truth, "Yes, officers, I did intend to steal the diamonds, but when I opened the safe, there was nothing inside."

"I really didn't steal it. The safe is empty, it's empty! Officers, you have to believe me!"

Li Dawei couldn't hold back any longer; wasn't this blatant lying?

He sneered and said,

"You're quite the actor,"

At this time, in the office area,

Xia Jie, Yang Shu, Zhao Jiwei, and others are reviewing all the surveillance footage of the driver from the high-speed rail station to the pawnshop to see if he exhibits any unusual behavior.

They also specifically investigated the driver's bank accounts to see if any large sums of money had been deposited from unknown sources.

Behind the mirror, Wang Shouyi was still secretly gloating. He thought to himself, "This case, worth a hundred million, has been solved so easily."

This is a really good deal. The driver is obviously a novice; he's so clumsy even with the most basic methods of committing a crime.

Inside the interrogation room, Chen Xincheng spoke again,

"Let me tell you, the diamond you stole is something else entirely; it's a full sixty carats,"

After a pause, Chen Xincheng looked up at the driver and continued,

"This is worth nearly 100 million, which is equivalent to the richest person's 'small goal' (a Chinese idiom for financial gain)."
