Chapter 30 Snatching the Person 1 They flew over overnight to snatch the person! ...

This was the first time Team Leader Zou had encountered such a situation.

Director Wen had previously recommended two exceptional talents, but neither of them exceeded his expectations.

For example, Wu Shirong, who was skilled at portrait painting, could not only draw based on eyewitness descriptions, but also correct any unreasonable parts of the descriptions.

After all, human memory is prone to error, and witnesses are very likely to form incorrect memories under stressful circumstances.

For example, there was a case three years ago where the only surviving girl at the crime scene was terrified and insisted that the murderer was unusually tall, with a large head and a round face.

However, the street sweeper outside said that the man entering and leaving the little girl's house was of medium build with a long, narrow face.

When two descriptions conflict, whose testimony should be accepted for the painting?

There were no shoe prints at the scene, as they had been swept away by an unsuspecting cleaning lady. The marks inside the room had also been removed by the perpetrator, making it impossible to deduce the height based on the shoe print size.

Soon, Wu Shirong discovered that the older woman was 171cm tall, while the little girl was only 112cm. Obviously, the reason for this conflicting description was similar to the story of the little horse crossing the river—both witnesses used themselves as a reference point.

Ultimately, based on the time of the crime—8:30 p.m.—and the fact that the north-facing streetlights on that street were broken and the light was coming from the south-facing streetlights, he determined that the perpetrator was about 166cm tall and had a rectangular face, and adjusted the perpetrator's facial features accordingly.

Within two days, the murderer was caught.

However, no matter how bizarre a person's amazing abilities may be, there is always a reasonable scientific explanation for them.

But what about Qiu Xiaoman? This... this really made him a little incredulous.

However, this abduction case was indeed the most efficient and fastest case in his career in terms of finding the child.

Now that the human traffickers have been caught, it means that Jiang Mingyuan wasn't exaggerating. Let's make an effort to help this special talent.

However, the Beidu City Public Security Bureau is a special case, as it has always been under dual leadership.

Administratively, they are led by the municipal government; operationally, they are led by the Ministry of Public Security, in order to coordinate national-level deployments.

Considering that staffing issues should fall under administrative jurisdiction, he went directly to the municipal government.

After a heated debate, the city government leaders agreed that they would wait until all the victims were found and the case was completely closed before personally evaluating Qiu Xiaoman.

These were not difficult problems, just a few more days' delay, so Captain Zou went back to report to Director Wen.

Director Wen was getting anxious. What were you waiting for? What were you waiting for?!

Wu Shirong was almost snatched away by the Shanghai Municipal Government because he did not have a Beijing household registration. The leaders there were too dogmatic and unwilling to make an exception to promote talent.

As a result, the Shanghai Municipal Government directly granted him a household registration, provided him with a settlement allowance of 200,000 yuan, and promised to allow Wu Shirong and his family to move into the villa.

Although the property rights of that Western-style building belonged to the government and could not be given to Wu Shirong, the Shanghai Municipal Government was willing to provide Wu Shirong with an apartment in Jing'an District.

In the end, he had to swallow his pride and appeal to Wu's parents' emotions to keep the person.

Of course, in the end, Beidu also provided a settlement allowance and a house, all in accordance with the conditions in Shanghai, only more and no less. However, Wu Shirong displayed his generosity, only asking for the household registration and official position, and not for any material rewards. In the end, his father, through his business acumen, bought the house for his son.

The fact that this case was solved so quickly is sure to cause a sensation. Once it's reported in the newspapers, the Shanghai Stock Exchange will be scrambling to take him away!

God knows how urgently Shanghai needs this kind of talent!

The area has a high population density and highly developed cities, which in turn puts great pressure on public security.

No, no, we can't wait. If Old Wei finds out that such a talented person has emerged in Beidu, he'll probably fly over overnight to snatch him up!

He quickly put aside what he was doing and went to see his superior in person! The decision had to be made today!

At the same time, the phone rang at the Shanghai Municipal Public Security Bureau.

Old Wei hung up the phone, his eyes shining. "No way, I'm going to Mengyin County right now to meet this little Qiu."

Take a plane! After landing in Green Island, take a car to Mengyin. We can see each other as early as tonight!

After finishing her meal, Qiu Xiaoman took Feng Shengnan and Liu Xiangyang to a clothing mall to buy clothes. As for the other three girls, their parents were there to pick them up, so she didn't want to waste her money.

She was very generous and laughed, "Pick whatever you like. You can buy things for me in the future too. Don't worry, I'll definitely pick the most expensive ones and rip you off."

Feng Shengnan and Liu Xiangyang were quite embarrassed. They exchanged a glance, unable to refuse such kindness. They decided to accept the offer, as there would be plenty of time to repay Sister Xiaoman in the future.

The two each chose two sets of clothes, from head to toe, inside and out. Feng Shengnan wore five layers on top and four layers on the bottom, including a bra and underwear. Liu Xiangyang wore four layers on top and four layers on the bottom, including underwear.

No wonder everyone says raising children is expensive. I only bought some essential clothes, but when I checked the bill, it came to 138 plus 106.

That's strange. Boys' clothes are larger and use more material, so why are they so much cheaper than women's clothes?

Never mind, I'll go buy two more pairs of shoes and socks.

Children at this age are very concerned about their image, so changing them into a couple of presentable outfits makes everyone happy.

After taking their clothes, the three returned to the hotel. Qiu Xiaoman told the two of them to take a shower and change their clothes.

Bored in her room, Qiu Xiaoman took out the map she had bought on the way and compared it repeatedly with the navigation map loaded by the system.

There is also a police dog base in Lvdao City, which is not far from Mengyin County, and there is another one in the provincial capital further south.

Upon reaching the neighboring province, there were no bases in several cities until they finally found one on the north bank of the Yangtze River.

After crossing the river, there are even more cities, a string of cities on the south bank, almost every city has one. Further east is Shanghai, there are actually two of them!

Sure enough, keeping police dogs costs money! It's not a problem for economically developed areas, but it's quite a challenge for underdeveloped areas and the central and western regions.

But that's okay, we can train them in Beidu and then send them to where they're needed!

Qiu Xiaoman put away the map and prepared to take a nap. Just as she lay down, the landline in the guest room rang.

She was a little confused. The only person who knew her room phone number was Jiang Mingyuan, right? Was it him?

He picked up the microphone, and surprisingly, it was Shen Qinghuai's voice coming from the other end.

Qiu Xiaoman frowned: "You've dialed the wrong number, there's no such person!"

"Wait! Xiaoman! I just heard that the auto dealership said you didn't pick up your car? They even had someone return it for you and give you the cash refund? Is that true?" Shen Qinghuai had no idea that his daughter was so eccentric, and he really couldn't understand her.

This was something Qiu Xiaoman had asked Jiang Mingyuan to do before he left Beidu, but Jiang Mingyuan was too busy, so he handed it over to his father.

It's probably because his father talked too much to Shen Qinghuai.

Qiu Xiaoman shrugged indifferently: "Is there a problem? You've already given it to me, I can do whatever I want with it, I don't need to apply to you, right? You're not anyone to me."

"You!" Shen Qinghuai was furious, but then he thought, this daughter has only been in Beidu for a few days, and she's already gained Director Wen's favor—her future is bright! He should try to appease her; maybe she can help her younger siblings in the future. So he softened his tone and said, "Then tell me, is it because you don't like the car model I picked? When you come back, I'll take you to pick out another one."

"I heard from Jiang Mingyuan that there's a limited edition extended car that costs 900,000 yuan. Are you willing to spend that much? Call me again when you are, otherwise forget it and don't bother me while I'm working!" Qiu Xiaoman hung up the phone directly.

She disliked Shen Qinghuai's bad habits, refused to acknowledge her as her daughter, and even bossed her around. Did he really think he was her father? He was dreaming.

However, who told Jiang Mingyuan to give her the number? She was furious! She immediately called the Public Security Bureau and was transferred to the Criminal Investigation Team's office.

Jiang Mingyuan is still there processing documents, and waiting for the group going to Pei County.

When the phone was answered, Jiang Mingyuan asked, "Who is this?"

Qiu Xiaoman questioned him bluntly: "Who told you to give my number to Shen Qinghuai?"

“I didn’t,” Jiang Mingyuan immediately clarified. “He probably found out on his own. He has a wide network of connections and business in Shanghai. I heard he has a friend who owns a hotel there, and his hometown is Dongshan.”

"Okay, I wronged you, I apologize." Qiu Xiaoman admitted her mistake and asked, "If you're angry, you can make a request, and I'll try my best to help you, like helping you with your documents or something, so I won't feel bad."

"Hahaha! No need. I don't have that much of a temper." Jiang Mingyuan laughed. It's good that this little Qiu is finally acting like a girl her age.

She's only eighteen! Acting all mature for her age isn't good. This is what it means to be full of life and energy!

He reassured me, "I'll ask my dad later, and he'll know what happened. By the way, I just called him, and he said that although the auto dealership agreed to the return of the car, they need your signature before they can get the money."

"Okay, then wait for me to get back." Qiu Xiaoman wasn't in a hurry, but she was curious, "By the way, how much did that car cost?"

Jiang Mingyuan sighed silently: "A little over fifty thousand."

Qiu Xiaoman was content; she sent all 50,000 yuan to her adoptive parents so she could go to the provincial military hospital to get her leg treated.

She then asked, "How much did his wife's car cost?"

Jiang Mingyuan was silent for a few seconds before replying, "Two hundred thousand or so."

Qiu Xiaoman didn't ask any more questions, knowing she had only brought shame upon herself. But it didn't matter; the human trafficker had been caught, and she would receive a reward from the system.

Once we find those kids, let's see if we can expose the other gangs behind them. That way we can win a lot of prize money.

Take it slow, you can't get fat overnight.

She laughed and said, "I'm going to take a nap. Let me know when the truck carrying the dogs comes back, and I'll go and check on the dogs."

"good."

When she woke up, it was already 7:30 pm.

I quickly called Jiang Mingyuan. Not only had Gouzi arrived, but Qin Baolian and the parents of the other two girls had also arrived.

Police officers from their registered residence area and criminal investigators who were assisting with the case also came along.

Qiu Xiaoman got dressed and went to call Feng Shengnan and Liu Xiangyang. The two guys were very honest. They bought two bags of Huafeng Sanxian Yimian for dinner and ate them.

The two were watching TV in their respective rooms when Qiu Xiaoman called them. They quickly put on their new clothes and shoes and went to the police station together to say goodbye to Qin Baolian and the others.

As Qiu Xiaoman walked, she became more and more energetic, and for some reason, a sense of pride welled up within her.

That's probably the sense of accomplishment from solving a case.

However, there were no buses running at that moment. Fortunately, there was a row of three-wheeled vehicles soliciting passengers across the street. In the end, the three of them found a kind-looking auntie and went to the police station.

When they arrived, they heard joyful cries coming from inside; the three girls must have been reunited with their parents.

Qiu Xiaoman glanced at Feng Shengnan and Liu Xiangyang: "Shall we go in? It's a promise, no crying allowed."

After hesitating for a moment, the two finally gritted their teeth and nodded.

Once inside, I realized I still lacked backbone; I was so envious my nose stung and my eyes burned. In the end, I managed to suppress my feelings thanks to the willpower I had honed while keeping watch in the mountains.

All three men smiled as they said goodbye to the three little girls.

This parting may be the last time we see each other in this lifetime, or we may cross paths again in the future. No one can predict the future. At least during our brief time together, we helped each other through this difficult period.

When you get old and look back, it will be a unique kind of touching experience.

The three girls and their families were taken back by the police. The remaining three criminal police officers quickly held a meeting with Jiang Mingyuan and the local criminal police to discuss the joint investigation plan. After all, if someone could be abducted from their jurisdiction, there might be accomplices.

This busy schedule lasted until after 9 p.m.

Qiu Xiaoman couldn't offer any help, so she went back with Feng and Liu.

I had just arrived at my room when the phone rang again.

When Qiu Xiaoman answered the call, she was dumbfounded. What did it mean that Old Wei from Shanghai wanted to see her?

She doesn't know her.

Jiang Mingyuan didn't have time to explain much, he only reminded him: "I guess the leaders here know they can't compete with Director Wen, so they notified Lao Wei to come over. You should wake up, I'll come pick you up. Meeting Lao Wei will definitely be good for you."

"Benefits?" Qiu Xiaoman didn't quite get it.

Jiang Mingyuan had no choice but to reveal his hand: "Didn't you want to negotiate with Director Wen? Old Wei can provoke Director Wen to agree to your demands as much as possible. Five years ago, Wu Shirong was fought over by both sides in the same way. Old Wei was finally pushed to the limit and was willing to offer 200,000 yuan as a settlement fee. Just think how much 200,000 yuan was five years ago!"

"Really! That's great!" Qiu Xiaoman quickly went out. Hey, you really do need a car.

Forget it, I'll just wait for Jiang Mingyuan downstairs and think about how to talk to Lao Wei.
