Detective: I, Cao Jianjun, started by arresting my brother-in-law.

"Xu Yingzi has been missing in Green Vine for a short time, but based on the photos that were taken under threat, the girl is very likely in danger."

"Secondly, we don't know what other illegal and disorderly things this Sun Xing from Lvteng has done, and we have no right to interfere."

"However, Xu Yingzi's parents have already reported the case to our police station, and we have accepted their report."

"Moreover, Cao Jianjun also found evidence that their daughter was in danger."

“From any perspective, we are following the proper procedures, so... my suggestion is to go to Green Vine and find someone.”

This was the first time the director had expressed all his opinions at once.

In his usual style, he would first listen to everyone's opinions, then state his own thoughts, and finally give orders.

It's clear now that the director is also anxious.

"Alright, Chief, let's open a case now and head to Green Vine..."

"I'll go."

After Cheng finished speaking, Director Gao raised his hand: "Since it involves a criminal case, Jianjun and I will go to Green Vine. However, Director, you have to inform the people at Green Vine."

"Jianjun, are you up to the task?"

The director glanced at the time on his wrist: "This trip to Green Vine might take a while. If you leave like this, Huihui will be home alone."

"It's alright, Director, I'll figure something out."

The dark curtain of green vines excited Cao Jianjun.

He knew, of course, that his wife was important, but when he was wearing this police uniform, he couldn't care less about himself in a critical moment.

Most importantly, in this world, no one knows Green Vine's dark secrets better than Cao Jianjun. If he had directly participated, perhaps fewer people would have been harmed.

"Alright, then..."

The director stopped being coy and slammed his hand on the table, saying, "Chao Gao, Jianjun, you two, plus Yang Shu, the three of you, will represent our institute and go to Lvteng to find someone."

"I will report to Director Song and then contact Green Vine in the name of our Municipal Bureau."

"Alright, get ready, let's set off quickly and come back as soon as possible."

The meeting, which lasted no more than twenty minutes, ended abruptly.

Deputy Director Gao Chao still has cases to handle; he'll go and hand them over.

Cao Jianjun had to inform his wife, which inevitably led to a scolding, but Zhou Hui still agreed and let him go to work.

I was moved again.

Even after hanging up the phone, Cao Jianjun was still uneasy.

After all, Zhou Hui is pregnant. It's fine during the day, but if she's alone at night, there are bound to be some risks.

32. Rushing to the scene overnight, Xia Jie helped take care of her wife.

After considering it for a long time, Cao Jianjun finally went to find Xia Jie.

With his wife pregnant, he still didn't dare to take too many risks, and Xia Jie, being a woman, was the most suitable candidate.

"Brother Cao, is that all?"

“My sister-in-law’s pregnancy is a big deal, of course. I’ll go over there every night after work.”

"Don't worry, my mom's on vacation right now, and I'm just killing time anyway..."

Cao Jianjun was a little embarrassed when he said it, but Xia Jie agreed without hesitation.

"Xia Jie, thank you."

"It's all about serving the people." Xia Jie chuckled. "Besides, you're one of the people too, sister-in-law."

"Alright! Little girl, you've got guts."

Cao Jianjun smiled, gave a thumbs up, checked the time, stopped rambling, turned around and said goodbye to Xia Jie, then returned to the institute.

When Yang Shu heard that he was going on a mission to another place, he immediately became excited, which made Zhao Jiwei and Li Dawei quite envious.

After finishing his work, Gao drove away from the Balihe Police Station with Cao Jianjun and Yang Shu in tow.

Although Green Vine is located in a neighboring city, the two cities are more than 400 kilometers apart, and by the time they arrived, it was almost dark.

…………

At this time.

Balihe Police Station.

Office upstairs.

"Director Song, this is the situation. Our comrades have already gone to Green Vine."

The director rested his hands on his desk while making a phone call: "Cao Jianjun suggested that I contact He Yong, the leader of the 915 task force that Green Vine is currently carrying out."

"Yes! I know... Oh, Director Song, I don't have any prejudice against the comrades from Green Vine..."

"However, this situation is truly exceptional."

"Think about it, the provincial department has sent a special task force to Green Vine, which means Green Vine must have a big case to solve, right?"

"Could this Xu Yingzi be related to the case the task force is investigating? Right...? So, I'm also thinking about the provincial department."

"Hey, Director Song, don't worry... our comrades will handle things properly..."

The director finished his report with a grin and a hint of obsequiousness, then hung up the phone.

Instructor Ye Wei and Deputy Director Cheng Hao watched from the sidelines, their faces full of doubt.

"Chief, does Jianjun really trust that so-called head of the special task force that much?"

The director fiddled with his phone while glancing at the two of them: "Hmph! You two are no match for Jianjun in this regard."

Two years ago, an incident of illegal fuel transportation occurred in Green Vine City, and the suspect was caught on the spot.

"Following this lead, the provincial criminal investigation team directly uncovered a shocking case involving Green Vine."

"Fourteen years ago, a man named Mai Zili disappeared without a trace and was very likely murdered. Based on this, the 915 task force was quickly established."

"The one in charge is He Yong, the head of the Criminal Investigation Detachment of the Provincial Public Security Department. As soon as he arrived in Lvteng, he immediately began his work."

"I've heard that the Green Vine Police System is on high alert right now, and they've cracked down on a lot of malpractices."

Instructor Ye Wei and Instructor Cheng were stunned for a moment, took a deep breath, and couldn't help but sigh, "It seems that this green vine is quite complicated."

"Oh, yes."

The station chief sighed with a wry smile: "But these things have nothing to do with us. Our Balihe Police Station is only responsible for maintaining public order within our jurisdiction."

As soon as he finished speaking, the director dialed a number.

He casually placed the phone to his ear and waved to Director Cheng and the instructor, signaling for quiet.

Toot——

A few seconds later, the call was answered, and a deep male voice came through.

"Hey?"

"Hello~~~"

The director's loud voice rang out: "Excuse me, are you He Yong, the team leader of the 915 task force?"

"who are you?"

The man opposite her lowered his voice, clearly very wary, neither admitting nor denying anything.

"Ah! I am Wang Shouyi, the director of the Balihe Police Station in Taihe District, Jinan City, next door."

The director wasn't embarrassed at all. He grinned, showing off his white teeth, stood up, and chuckled as he looked out the window.

"Police station chief? Wang Shouyi?"

The voice on the other end seemed stunned, pausing for several seconds: "I know Quancheng, but I don't know about the Balihe Police Station. Does such a place exist?"

"Haha, you should know Director Song from our district branch, right?"

When the director introduced himself, no one recognized him, so he had to go through a roundabout way to find connections.

"Oh, I know."

The voice on the other end of the phone softened a bit: "Is there something you need?"

"Team Leader He, it's like this..."

After exchanging pleasantries, Director Wang, not caring whether the other party understood or not, stopped laughing and became serious.

“There is a girl in our jurisdiction named Xu Yingzi, who is currently in your Green Vine.”

"This girl was threatened into taking a large number of prohibited photos, and then she disappeared."

"The girl's parents came to our police station early this morning to report the crime..."

"Therefore, we are very worried about the girl's personal safety and have already sent several comrades to your Green Vine."

After Director Wang finished speaking, there was silence on the other end of the phone.

A full ten seconds or so later, a reply came.

"Xu Yingzi?"
