Chapter 87
"Coach Luo, what...what do you mean?" Lin Jiafan choked on his own saliva, which was rare, and stuttered.
"It's nothing special. I just suddenly discovered today that Officer Lin seems to be quite skilled. Seeing him made me feel a little itchy. I thought we could have a chance to spar with him during the next class." Luo Jingyao was still smiling, but her expression revealed a firmness that could not be refused.
She didn't make her words too clear. After all, from the first time the two of them fought until now, the so-called weakling was just something she made up in her mind, and Lin Jiafan had never admitted it.
But in the end, it was still hard to swallow this anger. It was almost to the point of breast hyperplasia.
So what was this person thinking down there when she was climbing the wall at the crime scene? Finally caught a fool charging ahead for the police?
Stripped from her memory, Luo Jingyao clenched her back teeth uncontrollably.
"Ah, this..." Lin Jiafan was about to refuse, but when he saw the man opposite him with a pair of eyes that were still astonishingly bright in the night, the words on his lips suddenly changed their meaning: "There will be opportunities in the future."
After receiving a satisfactory answer, Luo Jingyao bent down and got into the car. Not long after, the black jeep turned around and drove towards the Jinshi Public Security Bureau.
More than an hour later, the jeep stopped safely in the familiar courtyard. Lin Jiafan and Luo Jingyao both got out of the car and walked into the office building without saying a word.
When they got off the elevator, Pang Guang, who had been waiting on the sixth floor, came up to them quickly and said, "Boss, the traffic police have reported the half license plate number that Brother Guo just provided me."
Because 'Brother Dao' Wu Qiang provided the specific time period and location, it was easy to find the van with the Sichuan license plate.
"After leaving Jiqing Road, the car drove onto the national highway and reached the border between our city and Beihe Province around 5:00 PM. It looked like it was planning to pass through Beihe Province and eventually return to Sichuan Province."
"I just contacted the police in Bac Ha Province. They've taken over tracking the car. If they find any trace of it, they'll send someone to intercept it immediately."
Lin Jiafan nodded and said, "I'll contact the bureau and coordinate to send a team to Beihe Province to assist the local police in the arrest and bring back the suspect and the abducted child."
"Are Brother Guo and the others back?"
The young man nodded. "They're all in the investigation area up front. They brought back quite a few suspects this time, and there aren't enough interrogation rooms. Do you want to start the interrogation now?"
"Let's wait for news from the Beihe Provincial Police." Lin Jiafan turned his head and glanced out the window. At this time, the sun had already half appeared in the sky.
"Call out Brother Guo and the others. You take Coach Luo to the cafeteria to have a meal first. I'll go report the progress of the operation to the leader." He instructed again, pinched his brows tiredly, and turned to leave.
This kind of large-scale police operation not only has complicated procedures, but the subsequent written reports are also very troublesome. As the head of the special case investigation team, the man can be said to be very busy.
After watching the other person's figure disappear at the stairs, Luo Jingyao stood there and waited for a while, and then at the enthusiastic invitation of other members of the investigation team, she came to the cafeteria of the Municipal Public Security Bureau located behind the office building.
As soon as he entered the door, a wave of steaming hot air hit him in the face, causing a thin layer of fog on Guo Zhen's glasses.
After walking around, Luo Jingyao finally took two fried dough sticks and a bowl of soy milk and returned to the seat that Pan Chang had reserved in advance.
Probably because they had been busy all night, everyone was tired and was only focused on eating, with no extra energy to chat.
Gradually, more and more people came to the cafeteria, and the surrounding environment became a little noisier.
Just as they were about to finish their meal, Pang Guang received a call. Before the person on the other end could finish a few words, he suddenly stood up with a serious expression: "Okay, I know, I'll go back right away."
Putting away his phone, the young man winked at his deskmates Guo Zhen and Pan Chang. "Xiao Zhang on duty said there was a conflict between the two suspects in the cage. We need to go check it out."
After hearing this, the other two people quickly stuffed the remaining few bites of food in front of them into their mouths, stood up and rushed towards the cafeteria entrance.
After running a few meters, Pang Guang seemed to remember something and returned to the table: "Coach Luo, I'll have to trouble you to pack some breakfast for Captain Lin to take up!"
As soon as the words were spoken, the person disappeared, leaving Luo Jingyao with a confused look on her face. It took her a long time to react before she lowered her head and finished the last half of the fried dough stick.
About ten minutes later, she came to the door of the Special Case Investigation Team office carrying a few packing bags, raised her hand and knocked lightly on the door twice, but unfortunately there was no response.
Luo Jingyao stood hesitantly in the corridor for a while, and finally sent a message to Pang Guang helplessly: It seems that your Captain Lin is not in the office.
Soon, the young man responded to him: put it on his desk.
Sighing silently, Luo Jingyao pushed open the door in front of her, but unexpectedly saw Lin Jiafan leaning back in a chair and breathing evenly.
This seemed to be the first time she saw him take off his glasses at such a close distance. He lacked the elegance that he usually used to paralyze others. Even when he was asleep, his frown made him look more sharp and distant.
Just when she was distracted, the person on the chair suddenly opened his eyes without warning.
When their eyes met, Luo Jingyao subconsciously raised the plastic bag in her hand, successfully blocking Lin Jiafan's slightly inquiring gaze.
"Pang Guang and the others had something urgent to deal with, so they asked me to bring breakfast up to you."
"Thank you." Lin Jiafan's voice was slightly hoarse. He first took the glasses on the table and put them on, then took the pile of unknown things from her hand.
The two people's fingers made brief contact. Luo Jingyao subconsciously curled her index finger, tried to remain calm and look normal as she shifted her gaze to look at the pots of small succulents on the windowsill.
"Coach Luo has been busy all night. Why don't you rest on the sofa for a while?" Lin Jiafan swallowed the bun in his mouth and broke the silence in the air.
"Need not……"
Luo Jingyao wanted to say that she would just go back to the store, but she was interrupted by the sudden ringing of the phone.
"Hello." Lin Jiafan tilted his head and put the phone to his ear. He nimbly opened the plastic bag containing the porridge lunch box with his hands: "Okay, I understand. Thank you."
After hanging up the phone, he picked up his lunch box and took two quick gulps before standing up, grabbing his coat from the back of the chair, and putting it on as he walked out. "The Beihe Provincial Police have reported that they've intercepted that van. Now it's time to formally meet with Lu Deshu and his gang."
Hearing this, Luo Jingyao swallowed back the words she had just said and followed him out of the office.
In the elevator to the sixth floor, Lin Jiafan spoke hesitantly, "Guoguo has been found, and another abducted child whose identity is yet to be verified was also found in the car. However, there is no news about the other abducted child you mentioned. We will help keep an eye out for him during the interrogation."
Luo Jingyao was mentally prepared for not being able to find Little Potato. After all, the child disappeared half a year ago and it was impossible for him to be with Guoguo.
With Lin Jiafan's approval, she returned to the sixth floor and walked into the familiar observation room.
Through the entire wall of glass, Luo Jingyao saw He Jinzhe and the representative of the juvenile protection organization invited by the police sitting behind him.
Because He Jinzhe is an orphan and has not been to school, he has no relatives or school teachers who can act as his agent. They could only invite staff from a juvenile protection organization to witness the trial in order to protect his relevant rights.
Not long after, as Lin Jiafan and Pan Chang sat down on the other side of the interrogation table, the interrogation officially began.
"Name."
"He Jinzhe."
"age"
…
After a few basic questions, Lin Jiafan took over the interrogation from Pan Chang. He placed a photo on the interrogation table and then asked, "Do you know who she is?"
He Jinzhe, who had originally lowered his head, quickly raised his head and took a look: "Her name is Guoguo."
"Then tell me, how did you take Guoguo away from the Qingshan Rescue Association at around ten o'clock yesterday morning?" Seeing that he had no intention of resisting, the seriousness on Lin Jiafan's face faded a little.
"Yesterday morning, I was lying in the house when Aunt Zhang, who was in charge of our daily life in the association, brought Guoguo in. Then she left, and we were left alone." After all, he was still young, and even though he had a criminal history for many years, when the boy left Lu Deshu and faced the police alone, he obediently confessed to the crime.
"So I looked out the window and everyone was busy with their own things, no one was paying any attention to us."
"I said I was taking Guoguo out to buy some candy, and she believed me. I held her in my arms and jumped out of the back window."
Lin Jiafan raised his eyebrows suspiciously: "How did you leave the association?"
The first group to arrive at the scene to collect evidence was from the Criminal Investigation Brigade of the District Public Security Bureau. They did find He Jinzhe's footprints and fingerprints on the back window of the room, but did not find anything on the west wall of the association. It was obvious that the boy did not jump over the wall as the association staff had guessed.
Although the association's wall is not high, it is not low either, with a height of nearly 1.7 meters.
It would have been fine if He Jinzhe was alone, but he was carrying a little burden with an eye disease, so the difficulty of escaping by jumping over the wall was more than doubled.
"I dug a hole under the association's east wall ahead of time, and we escaped from there." He Jinzhe was honest and described it in great detail: "There was already a dog hole over there, so I just casually dug out two bricks and covered it with branches or something."
Dog hole? Lin Jiafan carefully recalled the overall structure of the Qingshan Rescue Association. The bungalows on the east side were inhabited by the rescued elderly. There were not many of them and they were not sensitive to sound, so it was indeed very convenient for them to make some small movements.
There are houses on the east, west and north sides of the association, and it is possible to go around the back of the houses as long as you are careful.
In addition, the evidence collection work of the Criminal Investigation Team of the District Public Security Bureau was mainly concentrated near the rooms on the west side, so it is understandable that they failed to discover that someone had tampered with the east side.
But he always felt that something was not right.
