Major Crimes Unit Starts with Police Academy Students

"Someone from Xiaoxinzhuang reported a dispute on the road, and the two sides almost came to blows."

Chen Xincheng said to Li Dawei in an annoyed tone,

"Did you hear that?"

Li Dawei had just finished filling the water container and returned when he heard there was another mission. He immediately became excited.

He said with a grin,

"Master, I heard you,"

Chen Xincheng didn't take the cup; he just walked out.

"What a jinx! I can't even have a peaceful drink of water. What bad luck!"

Wu Mingcheng shook his head and smiled, then followed Chen Xincheng outside. Li Dawei, however, happily put down his teacup and quickly followed them out.

The office, which had been bustling just moments before, gradually quieted down as several groups of people left.

Xiaoxinzhuang is located in a peri-urban area, with newly built residential areas along the roadside, as well as undeveloped urban villages.

At this moment, the siren from the police car was unusually piercing. Li Dawei was driving, while Chen Xincheng and Wu Mingcheng were chatting inside.

Li Dawei, clearly unable to bear the silence, also wanted to interject, but Chen Xincheng immediately reprimanded him.

"Li Dawei, drive properly! You're driving half-heartedly, are you trying to kill yourself?"

They arrived at the location where the report was filed very quickly.

From afar, a crowd could be seen gathered in front, with occasional sounds of arguing coming from within. A large group of people were watching the spectacle.

After Li Dawei stopped the car, the three of them got out and walked over. From a distance, they could hear a shrill argument coming from the center of the crowd.

Seeing so many people gathered around, Li Dawei couldn't help but say...

"Wow, so many people have gathered? Looks like things are getting complicated."

Chen Xincheng also had a solemn expression, and turned on his body camera as he walked forward.

He gave the two people some instructions.

"This is quite a scene. Remember, once we get there, no matter what, isolate everyone first."

Try to minimize problems and resolve them peacefully; never escalate conflicts.

In particular, Chen Xincheng gave Li Dawei a final, deliberate look.

Li Dawei said, puzzled.

"Mingcheng, what does Old Chen mean by giving me that look? Does he not trust me?"

Wu Mingcheng said with a smile,

"I have no idea,"

Immediately afterwards, both of them turned on their body cameras.

Chen Xincheng, Li Dawei, and Wu Mingcheng squeezed into the crowd.

Chen Xincheng said,

"What's going on? Why are so many people gathered around so early in the morning instead of going to work?"

Upon seeing the police arrive, the crowd of onlookers immediately dispersed, revealing the person who had been surrounded in the middle.

One side was a young couple; the woman was holding a crying three- or four-year-old child in her arms. The child's mouth was cut and his face was bloody.

The other person was an old man around seventy years old, clearly a farmer who had recently moved to the city. A stray dog ​​was barking incessantly at his feet.

The two men arguing were the woman's husband, Liu Qiang, and the old man, Grandpa Sun. They were both red in the face and vehemently opposed to each other.

Chen Xincheng stepped between the two and tried to persuade them.

"Both of you, stop arguing. Sir, you're young, please say less for now."

"Sir, you're getting on in years, you can't get angry so easily. Can someone tell me what happened?"

Chapter 380 The Bad Guys Get Old

Liu Qiang then said angrily,

"Officer Tongzhi, you be the judge. He was walking his dog without a leash."

My wife, child, and I were passing by when his dog saw my child and started chasing him.

Look closely, the child is so scared he's crying, and he fell down and even cut his lip.

I didn't even mention asking him for compensation, yet he's demanding it from me. What kind of person is that?

Grandpa Sun jumped up and down and said,

"I'm walking my dog ​​in front of my house, what's it to you? If you're afraid of dogs, don't come here."

Hearing Liu Qiang's words and seeing Grandpa Sun's behavior, Wu Mingcheng roughly understood what was going on.

He could only say that Liu Qiang's family was unlucky to have run into "this kind of person." It wasn't that the old man had turned bad, but rather that the bad man had grown old.

Chen Xincheng frowned upon hearing Grandpa Sun's words, but he knew both sides were still angry.

"Sir, please calm down. Mingcheng, please comfort his family."

Dawei, take the old man over there and let him calm down. Check his dog license.

Li Dawei stepped forward and politely said,

"Sir, let's talk over here,"

Unexpectedly, Grandpa Sun completely ignored Li Dawei and continued to argue relentlessly.

"You've walked dogs your whole life, and this still turned out to be an accident? You keep saying I don't know the rules, but you do? Don't you know how to respect the elderly and care for the young?"

Li Dawei was quite quick-witted; he immediately stepped forward to coax and persuade him, eventually moving him aside.

Wu Mingcheng then led Liu Qiang, his wife, and their child to the other side, and then he took out alcohol wipes and handed them to the woman.

"Take good care of the child first. Look how much he's crying, quickly comfort him. The child is still here, don't get agitated and scare him further."

The woman immediately expressed her gratitude.

"Thank you, Officer Tongzhi,"

Wu Mingcheng shook his head and said,

"It's alright, Mr. Liu. You were the one who called the police, weren't you?"

Liu Qiang immediately replied,

“I called the police, Officer Tongzhi. My son was injured first, but he turned around and tried to extort money from me. In this situation, how could I not call the police?”

At this point, Chen Xincheng probably felt that Liu Qiang's family would be easier to communicate with, so he decided to start by working on Liu Qiang's mindset.

He walked over and said in a low voice,

"Mr. Liu, I understand that he was definitely in the wrong. This old man looks like he just moved into the apartment."

You two are clearly well-mannered people, don't stoop to his level.

Upon hearing this, Liu Qiang softened his tone and said...

"I didn't intend to stoop to his level, but he's trying to extort money from me,"

Chen Xincheng then advised,

"Don't worry, I think this old man knows he's in the wrong and is afraid you'll make him pay, so he preemptively struck to give you no chance."

After hearing this, Liu Qiang said with even more helplessness,

"I never intended to cause trouble for an old man,"

Chen Xincheng nodded upon hearing Liu Qiang's words.

“I know you’re a very magnanimous person. How about this, I’ll step in and mediate, say a few kind words, and try to reach a settlement like this. What do you think?”

Wu Mingcheng could understand Chen Xincheng's reasoning in this way: to minimize the problem and resolve it peacefully. This was the only way to handle such matters.

Even for elderly people, it's difficult for them to handle minor issues.

They also lack the capacity to impose substantial penalties unless criminal cases are involved.

He said to Liu Qiang from the side,

"You don't need to dwell on these things with him. It's exhausting and stressful. You might as well just let it go."

And the child is still here, don't frighten the child. Try to mediate and leave quickly.

Liu Qiang listened to Wu Mingcheng's words and felt that what he said made a lot of sense, so he nodded.

Wu Mingcheng also felt some sympathy for Liu Qiang's family. He leaned closer to Liu Qiang and whispered a reminder.

"By the way, Mr. Liu, could you take a picture of the child's wound as evidence? In case he tries to cause trouble, you'll have proof later."

To Wu Mingcheng's surprise, he actually came in handy later on.

Liu Qiang looked at Wu Mingcheng with gratitude.

"Thank you, officer."

Wu Mingcheng shook his head at him.
