Jiang Ziwen nodded with a heavy expression. His usual relaxed and smiling face was gone, replaced only by anxiety and uneasiness. He forced a smile, revealing an unflattering expression, and said in a nonchalant tone, "Well, it's okay. At least we know about this matter. We can definitely find out."
Cheng Jiawen looked at him and saw that he was obviously very worried but still trying to comfort him. He couldn't help but feel funny, but also a little touched.
He reached out and patted Jiang Ziwen on the shoulder, "Let's go in and see what's going on."
The two walked to the duty room together. The atmosphere inside was heavy and everyone had a worried expression on their faces.
There was no way. Although it was possible that "White Bird" had deceived them about the explosives, it was better to believe it than not. If something unexpected happened, it would not be a problem for just two people, but a problem for everyone involved.
"How is Bai Niao now? Have you found the location of the explosives?" Cheng Jiawen asked expressionlessly.
Jiang Ziwen shook his head. "Xiao Chen and the others interrogated him all night last night, but he said nothing. He just said he had hidden a large amount of explosives, but he wouldn't tell us where. He also said that if we didn't release him, the explosives would explode in three days, and then the whole city would suffer."
When Cheng Jiawen heard this, he took a deep breath and said, "This is really cruel."
"Yes, it's so cruel. They are threatening the lives of everyone in the city." Jiang Ziwen also said with a sad face.
"Tap tap tap~" Officer Liu and Officer Chen came out of the interrogation room with tired faces. Cheng Jiawen and Jiang Ziwen saw them and asked, "Brother Liu, what's going on? Did he confess?"
Officers Liu and Xiao Chen shook their heads wearily. Xiao Chen sighed, "There's no way. He just said there were explosives. After that, no matter how we asked, he didn't say a word."
The moment Cheng Jiawen and Jiang Ziwen's eyes met, it was as if time had frozen. They stared at each other silently, their eyes revealing an indescribable worry.
Cheng Jiawen lowered his head and thought for a moment, then raised his head and said to Officer Liu, "Brother Liu, should we report this to the military? This large amount of explosives involves enemy spies, so it's obviously not something our police department can handle alone."
Officer Liu thought about it and understood what Cheng Jiawen meant. This matter involved a huge matter, not only enemy spies, but also the safety of the entire city. If something went wrong, it would not be something that a small captain like him could bear.
Now that the director and deputy director are not here, it would be best for me to apply to my superiors and request a stronger team to help. Now it is no longer a question of whether I have made any contribution or not. I am grateful for the fact that I can solve the problem smoothly.
He nodded and immediately walked to the phone. After waiting for a few minutes, someone finally answered. A sweet female voice rang out on the line. Officer Liu said anxiously, "Hello, could you please connect me to the office of Chief Li in the military compound? I'd like to inform you that Liu Chang from the Heping Branch has something important to report."
"Okay, please wait, I'll transfer you right away."
Officer Liu hung up and waited a few minutes before the call came back. He picked up the phone cautiously and said in a serious and calm tone, "Hello, Chief Li, I'm Liu Chang from the Heping Branch. I have an important report. We've discovered an enemy spy who claims to have buried a large amount of explosives in the city."
"What? When did it happen? Come to the military compound right now to report this matter."
"Yes, I'll leave right away."
Officer Liu hung up the phone and breathed a sigh of relief. Now that his superiors knew about this, the pressure on him was finally relieved. To be frank, if it really happened in the end... then at least there would be more people to share the blame.
He wiped the nonexistent sweat from his forehead and looked at Cheng Jiawen and the others, "You guys take turns guarding the White Bird. You can't leave at all until I come back. Understand?"
Cheng Jiawen and the others immediately stood up straight, put away their lazy expressions, and said seriously: "Yes, we promise to complete the task."
Officer Liu nodded, went back to his office to tidy up his appearance, then took all the documents about 'White Bird' and rode his bicycle to the 'jun' district compound.
After Officer Liu left, Cheng Jiawen and others took turns watching "White Bird" in the interrogation room. They really never left his side and there was someone watching him at all times.
Even when eating at noon or going to the toilet, they would change shifts, ensuring that someone was watching him at all times.
-------------------------------------
In the cold winter, although the midday sun brings a hint of warmth, it still cannot dispel the coldness in the air.
Xu Qianjiao carefully held a bowl of chicken soup dumplings and walked briskly towards the police station where Cheng Jiawen worked.
At the door of the police station, Xu Qianjiao was a little nervous. She stopped, straightened her clothes, took a deep breath, and then slowly walked into the door of the police station.
It was noon at this time, and everyone else in the police station had gone to the cafeteria to eat, leaving only Cheng Jiawen in the duty room to guard the "White Bird".
Xu Qianjiao entered the duty room. She searched the police station and finally found Cheng Jiawen, who was sitting at a corner, busy working. She walked over and called out softly, "Jiawen."
Cheng Jiawen looked up from the documents and saw Xu Qianjiao coming. A surprised smile appeared on his face. "Wife, why are you here?"
Xu Qianjiao gently shook the insulated lunch box in her hand and said, "I'm bringing you food. Dad just brought it over."
"Huh? Where's Dad? Is he outside?" Cheng Jiawen looked towards the door, but didn't see anyone, so he said curiously.
Xu Qianjiao took his hand and pushed him back into his seat. "Dad went back. Uncle Liu was in a hurry to use the car. Dad drove back directly after delivering the dumplings."
"Oh, have you eaten yet?" Cheng Jiawen took the thermos box from her hand, stood up, and pushed her down to her seat. "Come, sit down."
Then, he dragged a stool from Jiang Ziwen's seat and sat next to Xu Qianjiao. He reached out to open the thermal box, and the steaming aroma hit his face, instantly filling the entire room, making people salivate.
He took a deep breath and couldn't help but sigh: "It smells so good~"
