Okay, the ethnic minorities who speak Hokkien must be people from the Malay region.
So, they must be the same kind of people as those who pretend to be mute.
Fearing that the police would notice their accents were off, they deliberately pretended to be deaf and mute. Once these people committed a crime, they would board a boat and run away, and no matter how hard the mainland police searched, they would never find them.
If it weren't for her pregnancy, Chen Rouren would already be on the boat, having capsized it completely.
However, as a pregnant woman, the baby's safety was her top priority, so she only planned to report the situation to Chen Ke and the others, and let them investigate the rest and arrest the perpetrators.
Of course, she wouldn't let her phone be stolen for nothing.
Moreover, she has seen many thieves and knows them best. When a thief gets a phone, their first thought is definitely to get rid of it.
So she quietly turned back and waited patiently in the shade of a tree.
About two hours later, the streets became more crowded, and the young man disembarked. He had a clear goal and headed straight for the nearby public dock, where there were many people coming and going, mostly tourists with money.
Young people, of course, also keep their phones in their pockets. As a thief, when he sees tourists getting off the boat, he also has to focus on distinguishing which tourist has money in their hand so that he can go up and make a transaction.
After looking around for a while, he spotted a fat old man who spoke Hokkien like him. The old man was leering at the tour guide with a lecherous look. He looked like a greedy woman who was easily taken advantage of. He was delighted and went up to her to take out his phone.
But when he reached into his pocket, he froze.
Because he clearly had a cell phone in his pocket, but what he pulled out was a stone.
Where did the brand new phone I just stole go?
Could it be that his accomplices on the ship switched his phone?
But that's not right. His phone was still there when he got off the boat. There are people coming and going at the dock. Could it have been stolen by another thief?
A thief steals from another thief, and he actually succeeds?
The young man was so angry that he stomped his feet and rubbed his hands together, praying to God that the thief who stole the phone would suffer a terrible death.
While he was praying, he didn't even realize that he was the damned thief.
Since she was going back to Hong Kong today, Chen Rou only called Chen Ke to describe the appearance of the ship, the number painted on the hull, and the characteristics of the people on board before heading back to the hotel.
But upon hearing the sound of the waves, Chen Ke asked, "Arou, are you at the beach?"
Because the special police unit is responsible for Hong Kong and the South China Sea, its office is located by the sea. Chen Rou is not far away, about two kilometers away. Looking at the buildings across the street, she said, "I'm across from the deep-sea fishing company."
Chen Ke immediately said, "Wait here, I'll be there in 5 minutes."
Sure enough, exactly 5 minutes later, Chen Ke arrived in the SWAT team's latest Dongfeng SUV.
He was wearing the old-style military green SWAT camouflage, which was also Chen Rou's favorite camouflage uniform.
Although it was green, it didn't make him look dark; instead, it made Chen Ke's skin appear bronze and healthy. Coupled with his tall stature, broad shoulders, and narrow waist, with a belt around his waist, he looked heroic and handsome, exuding masculinity. He was simply a rare and one-of-a-kind father.
Of course, although he only had twenty soldiers under his command, his unit was a newly established unit directly under the capital, and local units had no jurisdiction over him. The division-level leaders could also address him as colleagues.
After getting off the car, he jogged over and saw Chen Rou with her hair tied up high and her forehead covered in sweat. Chen Ke took out a large black umbrella, opened it with a snap, and covered her face: "Hurry up and cover yourself up, your face will get sunburned if you keep sunbathing like this."
Then she brought out another jar: "I just made you some jujube and goji berry water, drink some to quench your thirst."
Chen Rou said, "It's too hot. I'd like to have some refreshing dessert soup. Shall we eat it together?"
Chen Keyi said sternly, "Even in summer, girls shouldn't eat ice. It's bad for their gynecology. They're not allowed to eat it."
This is what a true northerner looks like; it's so hot, it's the perfect time to eat ice cream.
But in his mind, people should drink hot drinks, and he never eats popsicles or ice cream sold on the street.
On such a hot day, he was the only one in the entire unit who was sweating profusely while blowing on his large teacup.
Of course, he rushed out not just to bring Chen Rou hot water, but because there was something he had to sternly warn her about. He started by saying, "I heard you ran into Zhang Ziqiang on the street?"
Seeing Chen Rou nod, he continued, "Although I have only just taken over his case, the first murder case involving him was a pregnant woman who was disemboweled. Rou, that's a ruthless person."
He added, "Yesterday, Lao Xue came to the police station and mentioned a case, saying that you happened to be at the scene."
She's like a walking Conan; wherever she goes, a crime scene appears.
Chen Rou almost blurted out: "Dad, if you were a policeman for a few years, you would have ended up like me."
But she laughed and said, "It's probably just a coincidence; I just happened to run into it."
Chen Ke, holding an umbrella, gestured for Chen Rou to walk towards the car, saying as they walked, "Think about your sister-in-law, she was almost due, but she just disappeared like that. Do you know what the doctor said? Given her current condition, it will be very difficult for her to get pregnant again."
Chen Rou was taken aback for a moment, but said, "She said she has been undergoing treatment and that the results are very good."
Many people choose to only share good news with their relatives and not bad news.
Chen Rou also accompanied Li Xia to the hospital, where she was diagnosed with abdominal adhesions, and the doctor prescribed medication.
When Chen Rou asked again later, Li Xia said that she was much better.
But does this mean that not only does she not have one, but that she will also have problems getting pregnant in the future?
Chen Ke sighed and said, "It's my fault. I wasn't by her side during her pregnancy and didn't take good care of her. If she can be cured, we'll get her treated. If she can't be cured, it's okay if she just lives like this for the rest of her life. But Arou, you can't do that."
