Major Crimes Unit Starts with Police Academy Students

Upon hearing Zhang Zhijie's words, Wu Mingcheng nodded in agreement. It seemed Zhang Zhijie had his own methods.

Whether Zhao Jiwei truly understood or was feigning understanding, he pulled out a small notebook.

"Okay, Master, I've got it figured out—making friends."

Just then, a little girl of about ten years old ran over carrying a cage containing a cat and called out affectionately,

"Police officer,"

Zhang Zhijie saw the cat meowing painfully in the cage, bent down and asked,

"What's wrong, little sister?"

The little girl then said,

"This is our stray cat downstairs. She's been meowing for almost a day, and her belly is so big; she's probably about to give birth. Please help her!"

Zhao Jiwei said gently,

"Young lady, the police can't handle this either. You should take the cat to a vet."

The little girl shook her head and said,

"My parents won't let me take care of stray cats, saying they're too dirty, and they won't give us money to take them to the vet."

I even bought this cage for it with my allowance; I didn't dare tell my parents.

Zhao 687 Jiwei asked in a low voice,

"Master, is paying for stray cats to have babies considered part of our job?"

Upon hearing Zhao Jiwei's question, Wu Mingcheng smiled. Zhang Zhijie, carrying the cage, looked somewhat troubled.

The little girl blinked her big eyes and said innocently,

"The teacher said that if you have any problems, you should ask the police officer for help,"

The little girl looked pitifully at Zhang Zhijie and his two companions. At this moment, Wu Mingcheng stepped forward and said...

"Little sister, listen to your big brother, let's give this cat to you. We'll take it to the vet."

The little girl looked happily at the handsome older brother in front of her and said,

"Hey big brothers, you can bring the kitten back to the neighborhood after she gives birth, right? We usually feed her whenever we have time,"

Wu Mingcheng said with a smile,

"Little sister, think about it, after a cat gives birth, it's no longer a cat."

It will have several children. Will you kids be able to take care of them?

Look, you have a home, with mom and dad to protect you. The little kitten is all alone and helpless in the neighborhood.

The older brother took it to the nearby shelter for stray cats and dogs, so it would have a home, right?

The little girl thought for a moment, then nodded and said,

"Big brother, you're right,"

Seeing this, Zhao Jiwei, standing to the side, said with a strange expression,

"Master, does this count as...making friends?"

Zhang Zhijie responded with a dark expression.

"Of course, children are friends too,"

Upon hearing this, Wu Mingcheng felt that since Zhang Zhijie had invited him over to persuade Zhao Jiwei, he should do his part.

So he turned his head and said,

“Jiwei, every little thing is useful; don’t underestimate children.”

Then he asked the little girl,

"Little sister, have any people you haven't seen in our neighborhood in the last few days?"

The little girl immediately said,

"Big brother, there were a few uncles coming out of that building to throw away the trash. I've never seen them before."

Wu Mingcheng nodded and said,

"Okay, big brother, thank you. Little sister, you can leave the kitten with big brother now, go play!"

After saying that, the little girl happily ran off to play.

Then, he turned to look at Zhao Jiwei and said (bgfg),

"Jiwei, you see, even children can give you some unexpected results."

If a burglary or murder occurs in this neighborhood, these could be clues.

Therefore, never overlook any small thing; it all has its purpose.

Upon hearing Wu Mingcheng's words, Zhao Jiwei pondered for a moment, while Zhang Zhijie nodded in agreement.

Wu Mingcheng then spoke again.

"I know you really want to go on patrol like us. Since that's the case, and you've been working for so many days now..."

I'll test you on a few questions about community policing. If you answer them correctly, I'll ask the station chief to let you work with Uncle Chen in the public security department for a while.”

Upon hearing this, Zhao Jiwei eagerly said,

"Mingcheng, you said it yourself, so please ask away."

Zhang Zhijie watched Wu Mingcheng curiously, wanting to hear what questions Wu Mingcheng would ask.

At this moment, Wu Mingcheng smiled slightly and then said,

"Okay, then let me ask you, since you're a community police officer, do you know how many large residential communities there are in your jurisdiction?"

Upon hearing Wu Mingcheng's question, Zhao Jiwei was immediately dumbfounded; he had never paid attention to this type of question before.

Looking at Zhao Jiwei's expression, Zhang Zhijie knew without a doubt that he didn't understand. He shook his head, feeling quite disappointed.

Wu Mingcheng then smiled and gave the answer.

"Currently, there are thirteen large residential complexes, and with the second phase under construction, that makes a total of fourteen,"

Hearing Wu Mingcheng give the answer without hesitation, Zhao Jiwei felt even more ashamed.

After hearing the answer, Zhang Zhijie looked at Wu Mingcheng with some surprise.

He really hadn't expected that Wu Mingcheng, despite being so busy every day and doing his job so well, would still be so familiar with these things.

Then, Wu Mingcheng continued to ask,

"Do you know how many people live in each community? For example, the West Street community where we are now?"

Zhao Jiwei was immediately speechless again.

“I…I…”

Wu Mingcheng smiled slightly and then said,

"The Xijie community has a total population of about 30,000, of which about 19,000 are local residents and about 11,000 are residents from other places."

Chapter 297 The Thief Appears

Upon hearing Wu Mingcheng's fluent answer, Zhao Jiwei felt even more discouraged, realizing his own inferiority.

Zhang Zhijie looked at Wu Mingcheng with admiration. It was no wonder everyone liked Wu Mingcheng; he was truly outstanding and impeccable.

With someone as outstanding and exceptional as Wu Mingcheng, who wouldn't be bewildered upon meeting him?

At this moment, Wu Mingcheng, carrying the cat cage, walked towards the police car.

"Uncle Zhang, we've gone around in circles. Let's take this cat to the shelter."

Zhang Zhijie spoke up.

"Alright, we've done about a loop, it's time to head back,"

After Wu Mingcheng left with the cat, Zhang Zhijie saw the dejected Zhao Jiwei, went up to him, and patted him on the shoulder.

Then he spoke.

"You have a long way to go. Learn more, observe more, and take it one step at a time, with your feet firmly on the ground."

At the very least, you haven't done your job properly yet, so don't aim too high.

Then, the three of them got into the police car and drove towards a nearby animal shelter.

Once in the car, Wu Mingcheng noticed Zhao Jiwei's somewhat dejected expression and, fearing it might dampen Zhao Jiwei's confidence,

He then tried to comfort her.

"Jiwei, I understand how you feel, but do you think we're handling big things every day when we go out on a call?"

Just like you, I handle all sorts of trivial matters, and community work is no small matter.

Zhao Jiwei, carrying the cat cage beside him, said...

"No, Mingcheng, this... this... this can really be considered a big deal?"

Wu Mingcheng knew that Zhao Jiwei had just graduated from school and hadn't yet adjusted to his new identity.
