She recounted how the woman had tricked her, obtained the man's contact information, and how the man asked her to relay messages, among other things.
Cheng Hao listened patiently as she finished speaking.
"and then?"
Xia Jie then said,
"He told me to ask the female suspect where the child's asthma medication was."
Upon hearing this, Cheng Hao's heart jumped, and he said with slight nervousness,
Did you ask?
Xia Jie shook her head.
"I was quite hesitant, so I talked to Mingcheng about it, and he said he would handle it."
Yesterday, I heard from Sister Xu that the female suspect was the main culprit, and that's when I realized what had happened. However, Mingcheng said he had already resolved the matter.
Cheng Hao breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's good that you didn't ask."
Xia Jie said with her head down,
"I'm sorry, Master, I was wrong. I was too naive. I only felt sorry for her, especially since she had a child with her."
Unexpectedly…
Cheng Hao stood up and walked to Xia Jie's side.
"Xia Jie, it's normal for a girl like you to be compassionate."
Furthermore, having just arrived at the police station and lacking experience in dealing with suspects, it was inevitable that he would be deceived.
Don't take it to heart. Like I said, there's still plenty of time. Take it one step at a time.
Xia Jie's eyes were a little red at this moment.
"Master, shouldn't I also talk to the director and write a self-criticism?"
Cheng Hao smiled.
"No need. I'll just put in a word with the director. You haven't caused any trouble, have you?"
Mingcheng did a good job cleaning up the mess for you; he might even reward you. Don't overthink it, just go back to work.”
Xia Jie hesitated for a moment before speaking.
"What should I do if her husband contacts me again?"
Cheng Hao said with a smile,
"Didn't Mingcheng tell you? That man isn't her husband at all, and don't worry, he won't contact you again,"
Xia Jie was stunned when she heard Cheng Hao's words.
Cheng Hao explained,
"The man was the woman's business partner; together they opened this place called a foot massage parlor, but it was actually a brothel."
After the woman was interrogated at our station, she confessed, and the municipal bureau immediately started monitoring the man.
Yesterday, Mingcheng arrested him and handed him over to the municipal bureau. He confessed to everything he had done.
The woman was the owner of the shop. She was hiring young women who were new to the city and inexperienced in the ways of the world, under the guise of hiring waitresses.
Once inside, they would confiscate ID cards, beat and verbally abuse, and even rape.
Then they restrict their personal freedom, destroy their self-esteem, and force them into prostitution.
The asthma medication the man mentioned for the children was actually obscene videos that the girls were forced to film when they entered the store. These videos were used to blackmail the girls into prostitution.
The man actually wanted you to help him find out where those obscene videos were hidden on the computer.
So that he could use it to coerce other girls into continuing prostitution, which shows how cunning these people are.”
Xia Jie's mouth dropped open in disbelief; she was speechless.
She simply couldn't believe that such a seemingly simple prostitution case involved so many hidden details.
Cheng Hao noticed Xia Jie's surprise and smiled slightly.
"Xiaojie, once you truly experience these things, your mental fortitude will strengthen, and you won't see it as such a big deal anymore."
· ·······Request flowers····· ······
You should communicate with Mingcheng more often; he handled this matter very well.
He has an exceptionally keen sense for this, even more so than we do.”
After leaving Cheng Hao's office, Xia Jie felt deeply powerless.
Fortunately, Wu Mingcheng was there; otherwise, her emotional behavior would have harmed countless innocent young girls.
Suddenly, she remembered that tonight was a gathering with several classmates.
In previous years, they would bring their boyfriends along, which almost made them incredibly embarrassed.
This year, knowing that she was returning to work in Zhuzhou City, they specifically invited her out for a get-together, and even told her that she absolutely had to bring her boyfriend.
....... ... .......
This really put her in a difficult position. Having exhausted all other options, she had no choice but to ask Wu Mingcheng for help.
When Wu Mingcheng returned, he was called away by Zhang Zhijie again.
They arrived at a village committee office, which was noisy and chaotic, with everyone talking at once, making Wu Mingcheng's ears feel a little uncomfortable.
Zhang Zhijie, along with Wu Mingcheng and Zhao Jiwei, were mediating the dispute with members of the village committee.
After listening for a while, Wu Mingcheng finally understood.
The elderly woman has two sons and a daughter, but none of them usually come home. Her younger son even leaves his child with her.
As soon as the children heard about the impending demolition and relocation, they all rushed back to claim they were taking care of their elderly parents. Their filial piety was a pretense; their real intention was to profit from the demolition compensation.
Seeing the chaotic scene they were creating made Wu Mingcheng feel very uncomfortable; these kinds of family disputes are the most difficult to resolve.
At this moment, the grandson cried that he was hungry. The old man wanted to take him out to eat, but his children stopped him.
Wu Mingcheng wanted to escape, so he quickly said,
"I'll take the kids out to get something to eat."
At this moment, Zhao Jiwei also quickly said that he wanted to go together.
With the old man's permission, Wu Mingcheng and Zhao Jiwei led the child to a small restaurant at the village entrance, ordered a bowl of noodles, and left.
Chapter 338 An Encounter with a Labor Camp Inmate
At this moment, a waiter with a scarred face became a little nervous upon seeing the police. He quickly placed the spicy noodles on the table and left.
Upon seeing the noodles, the child immediately began to wolf them down.
Zhao Jiwei urged Xiaobao to eat, but his eyes remained fixed on the scarred man.
He said,
"Eat slowly, don't burn yourself,"
Wu Mingcheng, on the other hand, ordered a cup of hot water and sat there calmly.
He had just been listening to that commotion at the village committee, and it had left him feeling completely confused.
There were hardly any customers in the restaurant, and Scarface came out to serve the dishes again.
He didn't linger outside for long and returned to the kitchen, clearly trying to avoid Wu Mingcheng and Zhao Jiwei.
"737!" Zhao Jiwei peeked out, peering intently into the back kitchen. Wu Mingcheng, seeing Zhao Jiwei's paranoid behavior, couldn't help but shake his head and smile wryly.
He felt that the kid was a bit obsessed. How could there be so many cases for you to investigate?
After a while, there was still no movement from the kitchen, and Zhao Jiwei immediately sensed something was wrong.
He said to Wu Mingcheng,
"Mingcheng, I have a feeling something's off about that scarred guy. I'll go check out the kitchen."
Before Wu Mingcheng could speak, Zhao Jiwei got up and went into the kitchen.
Wu Mingcheng felt both amused and exasperated; he could only conclude that Zhao Jiwei was far too wary.
When Zhao Jiwei arrived at the kitchen, he didn't find Scarface.
He tensed up immediately and rushed out the back door, bumping right into Scarface.
Scarface was standing in the yard smoking when he saw Zhao Jiwei, and quickly put out his cigarette.
The two of them stared blankly at each other. Zhao Jiwei spoke first, breaking the silence.
What are you doing in the back?
Scarface responded,
"I'll have a smoke and rest for a while in the yard,"
Zhao Jiwei then said,
