Mingtai police station.
Qiu Liansheng personally brought the hot tea to the table and said with a dry smile, "director Xie, Master Li, I admit that I really didn't do my duty of care in this matter."
After a slight pause, he immediately spoke again: "but if you put all the responsibility on me, it would be really unjust. Dahuang town is not under the jurisdiction of Mingtai at all? How do you say I manage it? It is clearly the territory of Qianming city. If I want to intervene in the past, isn't it the Vietnamese Lord?"
Li Qingxin sneered. It was indeed the politician's words. It is estimated that Linyuan city will give the same reply.
Xie Hongbo blew the hot tea in the cup and put it down again.
He cleared his throat and tapped his finger on the table: "I'll explain to the director what happened before. But from today on, Dahuang town will be transferred to Mingtai police station."
Qiu Liansheng looked a little sluggish and said carefully, "director Xie, it seems that we can't decide this division of jurisdiction in private?"
Xie Hongbo looked slightly cold: "if you are anxious, I will let you get the approval tomorrow."
"Don't, don't, don't, I don't mean that." Qiu Liansheng grinned and sighed again. "Since you've said that, all right. From now on, if there's any trouble in Dahuang Town, you'll ask me."
These words are simple and beautiful, but Li Qing and Xie Hongbo are smart people. They know that Qiu Liansheng's main purpose is to get rid of his responsibilities.
If there is any trouble in the future, take you as a question, which means that the previous trouble has nothing to do with you.
But now, it is not the time to investigate the responsibility. Xie Hongbo, as an insider, has not said anything, and Li Qing, an outsider, can't point it out.
"I'll stay with you these days." Xie Hongbo stared at the tea cup on the table and seemed to resent that the cup of hot tea couldn't be drunk. "The people he caught have to have a sudden trial overnight, and I hope director Qiu's cooperation."
Qiu Liansheng sat down in his chair and waved his big hand: "don't worry, director Xie! As long as you give an order, I will cooperate absolutely. It's nothing for thousands of troops and horses!"
"Those people are hard to judge. If I can't, I'll have to take them back to Gangbei. But in that case, I'll probably miss the best trial time, so I'll try my luck with you first." Xie Hongbo sighed. "We have to know who these people are first, and then we can ask what they want to do and what they are doing, right?"
Qiu Liansheng nodded hurriedly: "yes, I have just arranged for someone to find the parents of those children who work in the city to see if I can find some clues from them."
Li Qing asked, "aren't those children making trouble?"
Qiu Liansheng replied with a smile, "they were locked up according to director Xie's meaning. They were quite obedient and didn't cause any trouble at all."
Xie Hongbo cleared his throat and stood up. "Let's go to the interrogation room and have a look."
Qiu Liansheng quickly got up and reached out and made a gesture of invitation: "I'll take you there. Let's go directly to the monitoring room. Videos from all places can be transferred."
The three men left the office, walked through the long corridor, opened the door and entered the monitoring room.
A policeman came up and saluted, "director!"
"HMM." Qiu Liansheng nodded, "any progress?"
The policeman glanced at Xie Hongbo, hesitated for a moment, and gently shook his head: "the suspects arrested have not said a word so far, and the trial progress is very difficult."
Perhaps he had already made psychological preparations, and Qiu Liansheng was not surprised. He nodded his head again and turned to Li Qing: "which one do you want to see, two?"
Li Qing said, "look at the children's parents."
Qiu Liansheng told the policeman, "transfer over."
Soon, a clear image was presented on the big screen hanging on the wall, and the cry of a young father came to my ears.
"I... I really didn't expect that. How could they do such a thing..."
"Did you know before?"
The man sobbed and nodded, "you know, when I came home, the old man said that the school teacher taught the children to exercise and gave them money... I... I thought it was a good thing..."
"Do you know who they are?"
"Ah? Aren't they teachers?"
"How many years have these teachers been in Dahuang town?"
"The earliest seems to be three or four years. In fact, I don't know, because I don't often go home..."
The policeman behind the table continued to ask, "haven't you noticed anything unusual about your children for such a long time?"
"My mother told me that the child is very independent and doesn't like to talk..." the man cried again. "I don't often go home. The child didn't kiss me and didn't want to call me dad. How can I discipline him?"
"It's only a few hours' drive from downtown Mingtai to Dahuang town. You don't have time to go home?"
"We're in a tight schedule. If it weren't for the Spring Festival, we'd only have one day off a month. Just one day. Why? I'm not in the mood to go home..."
Li Qing frowned, "OK, turn it off."
From beginning to end, he only remembered one "don't go home often".
He couldn't help thinking, should he spend more time with Qiuqiu and simu? If one day simu doesn't want to call himself father, what should he do?
The policeman said, "this is basically the case. Parents work outside for a long time and leave their children at home. The elderly are not in good health and often can't take care of it. Children are mentally fragile and lack love for a long time, so they are particularly easy to be controlled."
Xie Hongbo asked, "do the parents of these children work in Mingtai?"
"It's not true. They are distributed around the port. Some of them have received our calls and are going back, but they haven't come back yet." the police officer said, "as far as we know, some further places, even manufacturing factories in Zhonghai. Now this part of the investigation is migrant workers in our city."
Xie Hongbo thought for a moment and said, "when the trial is at dawn, if there is no progress, we will find some children to meet the suspects we caught."
"Yes."
Several people were talking when Chen Gang pushed the door in.
"Director." he looked at Li Qing, waved his hand and said hello, "there is the latest progress."
"Speak."
Chen Gang spread out the folder and handed several photos to the three people: "we have found out about the young teachers who have been teaching in Dahuang town. Although these are Chinese, they are not domestic domicile."
Xie Hongbo asked in a deep voice, "can you find the boss behind the scenes who brought them to Lingang?"
"This..." Chen Gang spread his hand gently. "We can only find that it is a foreign charity, and other specific contents are not easy to collect. After all, it belongs to the international category, and the local police station is not strong at this point."
Xie Hongbo took over the folder, turned over the materials, and couldn't help nodding: "it's not easy to find so many relevant materials. Leave the rest to me. The inspector's office still has relevant channels."
"Yes."
Xie Hongbo pinched the photos, looked up and asked, "are these photos backed up?"
Chen Gang nodded: "all materials have been backed up."
"Here you are." I heard that there was a backup of the data. Xie Hongbo simply handed the whole folder to Li Qing. "Do you have to go to the municipal hospital later? Ask Qian Liming to help identify the people in the photos. I'm very busy here and won't go. If there is any progress, just call me."
"HMM." Li Qing nodded and took the folder in his hand.
"You're busy. I'll go to the city hospital first." the voice fell, and he turned and walked out.
"Li Qing." Xie Hongbo suddenly shouted, "do you think... How likely is this a small training base in Demeter?"
Li Qing turned around at the door: "it's very possible. I've been looking for Zhao Zhen's foundation. Maybe I hit him this time."
"But most people ran away, leaving an empty nest."
"Then catch it again. What's the difficulty?" Li Qing said casually and pushed the door out.
Xie Hongbo stood up to Qiu Liansheng, the police chief. He looked helpless: "see? This is the difference between ruffians and us. They only ask if they can do things, but we have to worry about whether they can do it."
Qiu Liansheng twitched slightly from the corners of his eyes and immediately grinned, but he didn't speak.
Li Qing hurried downstairs and walked out of the gate of Mingtai police station. Wen Yang was sitting in the car waiting.
He opened the door and sat in the co driver's seat. He said faintly, "go to the municipal hospital first and see the situation of Lao Qian."
Wen Yang started the car and whispered, "how's it going?"
"The situation is not very good. The materials we have now are of little value." Li Qing raised his hand and patted his forehead. "I have a headache when I think of the guy who would rather cut his wrist than jump downstairs. What kind of dead man is this? It seems that we are really in trouble."
"HMM." Wen Yang nodded. "It's the same with those who fight with me. Everyone is determined to die. So I don't think we have much hope of hearing the news even if we catch the living mouth and want to pry open their mouth."
Li Qing looked at his watch: "Xie Hongbo said that if people were brought back to the north of Hong Kong, they would probably miss the best interrogation time. In fact, I know what he meant. These killers are not simple. After 24 hours, after they are sure they can't get help, they are likely to choose suicide, which will end everything."
Wen Yang's eyes flickered slightly and turned a corner at the intersection ahead: "it may be earlier. Suicide can happen anytime, anywhere. And I don't think Xie Hongbo can stop it at all."
Li Qing shook the folder in his hand again: "here are the photos of those support teachers. Finding them first may be a breakthrough."
