Police station archivist Zhou Yi is reborn back to 1997, just when he joined the police force. Dismemberment cases, arson cases, shooting cases... the cold case files he meticulously studied in his...
Chapter 478 This Auntie Is Abnormal
Lu Zhengfeng, Zhou Yi's old partner in his previous life, his uncle is an old policeman in the Luohe Anti-theft Squad, who has been fighting wits and courage with thieves for most of his life.
According to Lu Zhengfeng, his uncle is a legendary figure in their Luohe. It is said that he once captured a famous thief king and was awarded the first-class individual merit.
If you are an anti-pickpocket, you have to know the various methods used by pickpockets.
Lu Zhengfeng said that his uncle's skills could be described as superb, even better than those of magicians. Even if you stare at his uncle's hands, he can still steal things right under your nose without anyone noticing.
It is said that his uncle learned as he caught thieves, and many of the thieves he caught later were not as capable as his uncle.
At that time, Zhou Yi even joked that it was a good thing that your uncle was a policeman, otherwise with such talent, he would have to be a thief king at least.
Lu Zhengfeng learned a few tricks from his uncle and originally thought that one day he would inherit his uncle's legacy and become an anti-theft police officer, but later he was recruited by the criminal police team.
According to Lu Zhengfeng, his skills are not even one-tenth of his uncle's.
But even this level of less than one-tenth was enough to scare Zhou Yi, because Lu Zhengfeng just bumped into him and stole his ID.
So, Zhou Yi exchanged a week of midnight snacks for Lu Zhengfeng to teach him a few tricks.
Although this is only one trick he learned, it is enough.
On the night I was reborn, I quietly took the forged will from my second uncle's pocket using this unique skill.
And now the bracelet in his hand is also.
Jiang Guiyou was startled and couldn't help but yell, "Fuck, why is it with you?"
After he blurted out these words, he realized that he had said the wrong thing.
"You, you, you..." Pighead immediately shouted, "So it was you who stole it!"
Those who were originally making a fuss realized that something was not right, so they all stopped talking and waited to see what was going on.
Zhou Yi asked the girl: "Is there any mark on your bracelet?"
The girl immediately replied, "Yes, there's a small leaf on the clasp of the chain, with the letters H and Y engraved on the front and back respectively. The chain is a birthday gift my boyfriend bought me this year. The two letters are the pinyin initials of his and my surnames, mine is Yang and his is Huang."
At this time, the girl's companion raised her hand and said, "I... I can prove that what she said is true."
Zhou Yi handed the bracelet to Lao Shen and said, "Please check it, police officer."
Old Shen took the bracelet, examined it carefully, nodded, and said, "Yes, it's exactly as the girl said."
Then he handed the bracelet to the girl and said, "Then return it to its original owner."
The girl was deeply moved and thanked the police and Zhou Yi repeatedly.
Although Jiang Guiyou is not smart, he is not brainless. The necklace he gave to his accomplice now appears in Zhou Yi's hands. Something must have happened. Could it be that his accomplice has been arrested?
In the crowd, the shifty-eyed man who had been leading the group earlier winked at him. Jiang Guiyou quickly said with a wry smile, "It was just a misunderstanding. Once we've figured it out, it's all fine. Let's all go."
Zhou Yi said with a half-smile, "How did you figure it out? Your gold ring hasn't been found yet, has it? And didn't you say I stole the necklace?"
Jiang Guiyou finally came to his senses. Recalling Zhou Yi's words and actions in the soft sleeper car, he shuddered and asked, "You...you...you are a police officer too?"
Zhou Yi flipped his wrist, showed his ID and said, "Come with us and tell us what good things you have done."
Jiang Guiyou turned and tried to flee, but Zhu Mingxiang was quick to grab his arm with one hand and the back of his neck with the other. He sneered, "Why are you in such a hurry? Come with us."
Seeing Jiang Guiyou's other hand reaching into his trouser pocket, Lao Shen immediately controlled his hand.
With a clang, a switchblade fell out of his trouser pocket.
When they were in the soft sleeper car earlier, Zhou Yi noticed that this guy had a knife in his pocket, so he was so fierce. Also for the safety of Lu Xiaoshuang and the two brothers on the upper bunk, Zhou Yi did not provoke him at that time.
Old Shen picked up the switchblade on the ground and said, "Attacking a police officer? You're really crazy, kid."
At this time, Jiang Guiyou lowered his head and remained silent like an eggplant hit by frost. Zhu Mingxiang directly took out handcuffs, handcuffed him, and took him away.
While evacuating the crowd, Old Shen reminded everyone to pay attention to the safety of their property.
Jiang Guiyou was taken away, and the people watching around him returned to their seats.
The shifty-eyed man who had been leading the conversation just now also sat back silently, lowering his head and not saying a word, for fear of attracting the attention of the police.
But suddenly, a pair of big hands pressed on his shoulders, which scared him.
When he looked up, he saw Old Shen looking at him with a smile.
The man could only smile timidly.
But as soon as he smiled, Old Shen stopped smiling immediately.
Because this man has shifty eyes, and when he smiles he looks even more wretched and horrible.
"Your accomplice has already left with us. You should go with us and keep him company."
When the people around heard that there was still melon to eat, they all gathered around again.
Old Shen glanced at everyone and shouted, "Manni, you all love to watch the fun. Let me tell you, when you're watching the fun, it's the perfect time for thieves to steal your things."
As soon as these words were spoken, the people who had gathered around could only retreat in disappointment.
The man argued cunningly: "Comrade police...you must have made a mistake..."
Old Shen glared and said, "Boy, don't force me to do anything forceful. If you know what's good for you, just follow me. Stealing is not a big deal, but if you're like that kid just now, you'll have to think carefully about the consequences. Can you bear it?"
The man was stunned for two seconds, then gave the old man a thumbs-up and said, "Man, you're frank. Okay, we brothers admit defeat today."
Zhou Yi knew that this was actually an ineffective last-ditch struggle, because the train was not like the street, where mobility was so high. The train was completely closed before reaching the next station, and Jiang Guiyou had already been arrested and would soon give out his accomplices.
Old Shen led the man back and found that Zhou Yi had no intention of following him, so he asked, "Aren't you coming?"
Zhou Yi said: "I'll come back later, and I'll have a little gift."
Old Shen was stunned: "A small gift?"
Zhou Yi smiled and didn't say much.
After Old Shen took his men away, Zhou Yi walked to a seat.
There were six people sitting on each side of the seats. At the innermost position on the right side, there was a woman holding a child. She had a headscarf on her head and her skin was very rough. She was obviously a rural woman.
The woman was sleeping with her head down, holding her child.
Zhou Yi stared at the woman and was about to speak when he suddenly felt someone gently pulling his clothes.
Looking back, I saw a young man sitting on the outermost seat on the left. Judging from his age, he might be a minor, only sixteen or seventeen years old.
Holding a schoolbag in his arms.
The young man seemed a little nervous and waved to Zhou Yi.
Zhou Yi didn't know what he was going to do, so he went over.
"Uncle police officer," the young man whispered in a weak, mosquito-like voice, "I think there's something wrong with that lady holding the child across the street."
Zhou Yi glanced at him curiously and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"
"The child she was holding hasn't cried since she got on the bus and has been sleeping the whole time," the young man said seriously. "I suspect the child isn't hers. She might be a human trafficker."
Zhou Yi was very surprised. He didn't expect that this young man had such good observation skills.
Because he also suspected so, but it was not because he found that he was still sleeping, after all, he was not sitting here.
He accidentally observed that during the commotion just now, the woman holding the child had actually been huddled in a corner and sleeping.
It’s true that some people don’t like to join in the fun, and that’s normal.
But her body posture showed a defensive state. She hid the child against the wall, with her head against the wall and half of her back turned to face the crowd.
Anyone who has held a baby knows that babies in swaddling clothes are very delicate. This posture can easily crush the baby, which is not the reaction of a normal mother.
So Zhou Yi felt that there was something wrong with this person.
Just as the young man was speaking, the woman holding the child seemed to have noticed something and opened her eyes to look.
Zhou Yi's eyes were fixed on her all the time.
Their eyes met for a moment, and the woman immediately looked away in panic.
Zhou Yi was sure that there was something wrong with this woman.
He straightened up, patted the young man on the shoulder and said, "Good job, thank you for the clue."
Then he took out his ID and said to the woman, "Officer, please show me your ID!"
…
There was a knock on the door of the railway police's duty carriage.
Zhu Mingxiang thought it was Zhou Yi who came back, but when he opened the door, he saw it was a train conductor with a look of horror on his face.
"Officer Zhu... Zhu... Zhu." The conductor's lips were trembling.
Zhu Mingxiang immediately realized that something was wrong and asked quickly, "What happened?"
"There is... there is a person named Zhou... Zhou..."
"Zhou Yi?"
The conductor nodded repeatedly: "Yes, Zhou Yi! He told you to hurry to the car we were in. Something big has happened!"
…
In the soft sleeper car, Lu Xiaoshuang was reading a book when she suddenly heard a noise coming from outside.
After a while, the big brother on the upper bunk came back.
The gentle middle-aged man asked curiously, "What happened? Why is there so much noise?"
The eldest brother said with horror: "Oh my god, something big has happened. I heard that someone seems to have died, and it's a child!"
…
The hard-seat carriage where the person was arrested was now half empty.
People scattered like people avoiding the grease in a pot after cooking, looking at the empty space in horror.
Zhu Mingxiang and Lao Shen pushed through the crowd and rushed in to take a look. They immediately felt their scalps tingling.
Zhou Yi gritted his teeth and pinned the woman to the ground, with a dagger lying beside her.
On the floor of the carriage nearby, there lay a small, pale baby.
To be precise, it was a dead baby.
There was a long, horrific wound on the baby's back.
The two of them couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and instantly understood what was going on!
Yes, Zhou Yi originally thought that this was a case of baby trafficking and that the middle-aged woman was a human trafficker.
But the truth even made him shudder.
This is not trafficking, it's drug trafficking!
This woman was a drug dealer. She hollowed out the dead baby's internal organs and hid drugs in the baby's stomach.
Just recently, when Zhou Yi asked the woman to show her ID card, the woman's hand hidden under the swaddling clothes suddenly stabbed him with a knife.
Fortunately, Zhou Yi was prepared, and with the advantage of the opponent being sitting while he was standing, he nimbly dodged the stabbing blade and then snatched the blade with his bare hands.
At this moment, the child in the woman's arms fell to the ground due to the struggle and rolled out of the cradle.
When they saw that it was a dead baby, everyone around was frightened and scattered like birds and beasts, howling.
Upon seeing this, Zhu Mingxiang and Lao Shen immediately rushed over and controlled the middle-aged woman.
Zhou Yi then let go of his hand and stood up.
Maybe he had overexerted himself just now, or maybe he was so angry at the horrific scene that his old illness flared up.
As soon as Zhou Yi stood up, he felt dizzy and immediately fell down while holding the chair next to him.
Zhu Mingxiang saw it and quickly helped him up, asking with concern, "Zhou Yi, are you okay?"
Zhou Yi waved his hand.
"Should we call an ambulance for you?"
"No, I just have a concussion. I haven't fully recovered yet. It's nothing serious."
"Concussion? How did you get a concussion?"
"He fell off a cliff in Wuguang at the beginning of the month." Zhou Yi answered casually.
Zhu Mingxiang and Lao Shen were shocked: "Falling off a cliff?"
Zhu Mingxiang quickly called the conductor over and helped Zhou Yi back to his compartment to rest, then immediately called his superiors to report the case and deal with the aftermath.
When Zhou Yi was helped back to the soft sleeper compartment by the train attendant, Lu Xiaoshuang was startled. She put down her book and hurried to support Zhou Yi, asking nervously, "Brother Yi, what happened to you?"
Zhou Yi's face looked a little ugly, and he waved his hand and said, "It's okay, I just feel a little dizzy."
So Lu Xiaoshuang and the conductor helped him lie down on the bed. Lu Xiaoshuang took off his shoes and covered him with a quilt.
The conductor told her to call him anytime if she needed anything, and then left.
The two guys on the upper bunk looked at each other, not knowing what was going on.
But they were all well-educated people, and seeing Zhou Yi's expression, they didn't ask any more questions.
Lu Xiaoshuang sat beside Zhou Yi's bed, looked at him with his eyes closed, stretched out two fingers, and gently massaged his temples on both sides.
Soon, Zhou Yi's frown gradually relaxed.
Then, seeing that he fell asleep peacefully, Lu Xiaoshuang was no longer so nervous.
…
Zhou Yi was woken up by the ringing of his cell phone. When he opened his eyes, he found that it was already pitch black outside the car window.
When the bell rang, Lu Xiaoshuang in the next bed woke up.
Seeing Zhou Yi wake up, he immediately threw off the quilt and got up and asked, "Brother Yi, are you feeling better?"
Lu Xiaoshuang's warm hands touched his forehead, making him feel very comfortable.
"Much better, I'm fine."
Then he picked up his phone and saw that it was Zhu Mingxiang calling.
Both parties have saved the numbers before.
"Hello."
"Zhou Yi, I'm Zhu Mingxiang. Are you feeling better?"
"Thank you for your concern. I'm fine now."
"I'm calling you to tell you about that female drug dealer. I reported this to my superiors, and they told me that this case was a joint effort between us, so you're credited."
This case is indeed a joint investigation, and it involves not only railway police and criminal police, but also drug enforcement police.
I guess Wu Yongcheng has already received the message. I wonder what Captain Wu thinks about me being able to bring in cases even though I took a long vacation and left Hongcheng.
Zhu Mingxiang said that after they reported to their superiors, they took the female drug dealer off the bus at the next stop and then interrogated her on the spot at the station.
This middle-aged woman was not as honest as she appeared. She was actually very cunning. Sometimes she said she was forced, and sometimes she said she picked up the child herself.
The ID card he carried with him was also fake.
After finally finding out her identity, it was discovered that this woman had been arrested for drug use twice and was a complete drug addict, using drugs to support her addiction.
Many years ago, she was dealt with for prostitution.
They took out two bags of drugs from the dead baby's body, with a total weight of more than 800 grams.
What Zhou Yi was most concerned about was the source of the dead baby.
Zhu Mingxiang said that according to the drug dealer's explanation, she bought the dead baby for 300 yuan. She didn't know where it came from, but she only knew that it had died not long ago.
"To be honest, whether the information she confessed is true or false remains to be verified," Zhu Mingxiang said on the phone.
Zhou Yi had already gotten out of bed and walked outside the soft sleeper compartment to answer the phone.
"Is that child a boy or a girl?" Zhou Yi asked.
"It's a girl... The leadership has arranged an autopsy, and your city bureau said they will be responsible for investigating the source of the body."
Zhou Yi took a deep breath, looked at the dark night outside the window and said, "If it's a girl, then she might be lying."
"you mean……"
"Well, maybe she didn't buy a dead baby."
