Chapter 28
Compared to Pang Guang's excited chatter, Luo Jingyao looked away with a guilty look when faced with this question: "Ah... I just know a little bit."
God damn well knows a little bit!
Lin Jiafan, who was directing his colleagues to protect the accident scene a few steps away, felt a headache after hearing her response.
This man never speaks the truth. He reminded her time and again before that she must put her own safety first, but did she listen to a word he said?
Lin Jiafan raised his hand and pinched his eyebrows in anger. Of course, he knew that Luo Jingyao had good intentions. If the suspect really rushed into Black Wind Mountain, the police would not know how much manpower and resources would be spent to bring him back.
But even though he knew it, he looked again at the mess left by the collision of the two cars.
If the force was not controlled well at that time, it might not be just the car that would be thrown out.
This was the first time that Lin Jiafan encountered someone more ferocious than himself, and for a moment he felt very complicated and confused.
But what he and Pang Guang and others didn't know was that everything Luo Jingyao did was based on a certain degree of certainty.
In fact, it can be seen from the career she chose that she is not a person who enjoys a peaceful life. Beneath her well-behaved and sweet appearance, she hides a heart that is unwilling to settle.
She loves anything that gets the adrenaline pumping.
Racing is one of them.
A few years ago, she often went to play underground racing after training. Until one time, she had a small accident, which caused a wrist fracture and delayed a Sanda competition. She caused considerable losses to the team and was punished. Only then was the coach urgently ordered her to stop this dangerous behavior.
Of course, she would not easily let others know about such a "glorious" history.
Pang Guang naturally would not give up and insisted on staying with Luo Jingyao, wanting to know the specific details of how she "subdued" the suspect's vehicle.
Fortunately, Luo Jingyao didn’t have a headache for too long, because not long after, several police cars arrived one after another.
There was also an old acquaintance in those police cars, Deputy Director Zhang.
As soon as the other party got out of the car, he rushed towards Lin Jiafan with a sullen face. After stopping, he started to accuse: "You drive like this, are you trying to save your life?!"
"Xiao Lin! When will you change your bad temper? You've been a police officer for how many years? Why are you still such a jerk?" Deputy Director Zhang clutched his chest and let out a long sigh: "You'll drive me crazy sooner or later!"
"You can arrest people if you want. It's fine if you can just pull off a hostage situation downtown, but then you pull off this?! Are you running out of snipers or what?"
"I've always stressed that your personal safety must be your top priority when you're out investigating. If one of you dies, how am I going to explain this to your family? Huh?!"
But Lin Jiafan seemed immune to his earnest advice, not even blinking. "Don't even mention that the sniper had no chance to strike. Even if he had, this man can't die. If he dies, the copycat murder case won't be solved."
Deputy Director Zhang choked up, and it took him a long time to find his voice. "Solve the case, solve the case, solve the case. Do you have anything else on your mind?! If something really happens to the hostages this time, I wonder how you're going to explain it to the bureau and the public!"
"If the case cannot be solved, can we explain to the family of the deceased?" Lin Jiafan asked calmly.
Suddenly raising his hand and pointing at him, Deputy Director Zhang's face flushed red. "After we return to the bureau, I want to see your self-criticism on the table tomorrow! It must not be less than 2,000 words..."
However, before the other party could finish speaking, Luo Jingyao stepped forward and interrupted: "That..."
These two simple words made several people, including Deputy Director Zhang, focus their attention on her.
Taking a deep breath, she bravely spoke: "Director Zhang, I hit the car. Captain Lin has nothing to do with it."
"Coach Luo? What do you mean?" Deputy Director Zhang was a little confused.
I didn't understand what she said, nor did I quite understand why I saw her here.
"It's exactly what I meant. Isn't the weather nice today? I was thinking of driving to Black Wind Mountain to climb it, but I didn't expect to meet an idiot on the way who rear-ended me, and then it became like what you see now." Luo Jingyao started to lie with her eyes open.
Lin Jiafan and Pang Guang on the side didn't seem to expect that she could come up with such an outrageous reason. Their eyes widened to varying degrees at this moment.
Deputy Director Zhang looked at her, then at Lin Jiafan, and finally sneered: "Did Lin Jiafan ask you to say that? Coach Luo, the Jinshi Public Security Bureau hired you to teach them, not to fool around with them!"
"How could that be? I'm just an ordinary citizen. Catching thieves is the police's responsibility. It has nothing to do with me." Luo Jingyao said righteously, "It really was just an accident."
"Accident?" Deputy Director Zhang craned his neck in disbelief, glancing in the direction of the two cars. He then pointed at the black sedan and asked, "Xiao Wang? Why do I remember that being your license plate number?"
The policeman who was called out responded guiltily. He was the one who was sitting in the bus and watching the surveillance camera before.
"I borrowed it. As the saying goes, more friends mean more paths." After Luo Jingyao finished speaking, she raised a flattering smile and looked very well-behaved.
"Friends, right? Accident, right?" Deputy Director Zhang was so angry that he laughed. He passed his fingers under her and Lin Jiafan's noses: "Don't think I don't know about the little tricks you guys are doing in private!"
After turning around a few times, the man finally stopped in front of Luo Jingyao.
"Thank goodness you're just a strength and conditioning coach!"
Instead of someone from the Special Case Investigation Team.
One dares to think, the other dares to act. If these two really get together, he can't imagine how much hair he will lose or how many quick-acting heart pills he will have to take.
After saying this viciously, Deputy Director Zhang got into the car and left without looking back.
The scene suddenly fell silent for a long time. Lin Jiafan then waved at Pang Guang and said, "Take Coach Luo to the hospital for a comprehensive physical examination first, and then go to the traffic police together to take a statement."
Luo Jingyao is indeed not a member of their police force and cannot legitimately participate in the arrest, so the subsequent procedures still have to be followed.
Pang Guang agreed immediately.
Luo Jingyao had no objection to this, but when she passed by Officer Xiao Wang, she lowered her head apologetically and said, "I'm sorry...your car..."
The other party waved his hand hurriedly: "Coach Luo, don't worry about it. Captain Lin will compensate you."
When she heard this, she subconsciously glanced at the tall and straight figure and felt that this person was really pitiful.
With the previous massage and today’s car accident, I wonder if I’ll have to work day and night and then take out a loan to pay off my debts?
Seeing that she was stunned for some reason, Pang Guang, who had already walked to the side of the police car, called out twice in surprise.
Coming back to her senses, Luo Jingyao put away her sympathetic gaze and turned to get in the car.
By the time everything was over and we came out of the traffic police station, it was already past eight o'clock in the evening.
On the way to send her home, Pang Guang received good news.
It is said that the hostage Sister Zhang who was taken away by 120 in the afternoon has been discharged from the hospital and returned home. Apart from a few scratches on her arms, she is in good health and has no other problems.
As for the suspect, it was confirmed that he had only suffered some minor skin injuries and soft tissue contusions. He will be brought back to the Municipal Public Security Bureau for interrogation.
Luo Jingyao was naturally happy for the special case investigation team. After saying goodbye to Pang Guang, who was beaming with joy, she returned home humming an unknown tune.
However, what she didn't expect was that early the next morning, she received a notice to attend class from the Jinshi Public Security Bureau Office.
Although she was full of confusion, Luo Jingyao still arrived at the Public Security Bureau on time.
After entering the compound, she walked around the office building in the front as usual and came to the west annex building which she had not set foot in for many days.
Slowly pushing open the door of the training room with a layer of dust on the handle, Luo Jingyao saw three people lying on the hard floor, sleeping in a mess.
Perhaps startled by the noise of the door opening, several people forced their eyes open a crack and looked over sleepily.
"What's going on?" She tiptoed over and asked in confusion, "Is the case solved? How do you have time to attend class?"
Pang Guang yawned, wiped the tears from his eyes with the back of his hand, and replied with a heavy nasal voice, "Strictly speaking, the case is still in the final stages. The supplier of the Ma Hongtang we brought back yesterday has quit and has identified Jiang Qi, saying that the illegal drugs they sold were all obtained from her."
"At first, Jiang Qi refused to confess, so we contacted many of the training camp's former and current students overnight. Only then did we discover that the real reason Jiang Qi wanted to kill Zhuo Meiling and Gong Lingling was that she was running an illegal drug trafficking network beyond imagination."
"Her main clientele is those who have participated in the training camp. Jiang Qi first lets those students unconsciously become addicted to illegal drugs during the weight loss period. By the time some students realize it, it is too late. Almost no one can withstand the withdrawal symptoms after becoming addicted, so they choose to continue to buy illegal drugs from her at high prices."
Because of this, Zhuo Meiling and Gong Lingling posed a significant threat to Jiang Qi. One had taken her to court, while the other's family repeatedly came to her house to cause trouble and even posted videos online. If the police noticed this and intervened in the investigation, her business network would be completely exposed.
No wonder Luo Jingyao blinked in understanding: "So Jiang Qi admitted that she ordered Zhao Weiqing to kill people?"
The young man shook his head. "She only admitted to the charge of illegally buying and selling illegal drugs and drug trafficking. After all, Zhao Weiqing's mental state has always been worrying, and he is currently unable to testify. She insisted that the police had no other evidence."
"As for how we have time to attend classes, aren't we being tortured?! Deputy Director Zhang said that our special case investigation team relies entirely on the people to arrest people, which damages the positive image of the people's police, so everyone needs to practice more!"
The muscles at the corners of her mouth twitched uncontrollably, and Luo Jingyao, the 'people' herself, was about to say something to comfort them, but was interrupted by the noise coming in from outside the window.
She walked to the window with a puzzled look on her face. After taking in the scene outside, she opened her mouth uncertainly: "Does your Captain Lin no longer want you?"
Um?
Pang Guang, Guo Zhen and Pan Chang, who were lying on the floor, looked at each other, and suddenly a bad premonition arose in their hearts.
