Chapter 53 Chapter 53 Interviewing Qiu Jiang Became Popular
Thinking about tomorrow's interview, Qiu Jiang fell into a deep sleep after dinner.
Not to mention, I was very nervous these past few days because of the case, but now that the case has come to an end, I can even sleep very soundly.
She slept until dawn. By then, Qiu Hengan and his wife had already left their stall, but they left breakfast for her and the children on the table. Qiu Jiang sent her two nephews and nieces to a nearby kindergarten, then turned back to their stall, took the signature buns that her colleagues asked her to take, and hurried to the police station.
Usually when she arrived, there weren't many people in the office, but today it was particularly lively. Everyone was wearing a straight police uniform and standing tall, and their energy and spirit seemed to be overflowing.
At this time, groups of three or four were chatting enthusiastically. When they saw her coming, someone called out happily, "The delicious food is here, hurry up and eat it, or you will run out of time soon."
"Come on, come on, I've been waiting for this."
Qiu Jiang handed everyone's order according to the list and felt a sense of pride watching them eat with their mouths drooling and praising the food.
"Jiang Jiang, your cooking skills are really good. When are you going to open a shop?"
"We have to book a store before we can have any confirmation."
Having said that, Wang Meilin has already given her the contact information of two suitable shops. Other colleagues are also very enthusiastic to help and have helped her find a few more. I think they will be able to find a shop with a good location and price, and then their shop will be able to be fully opened.
Thinking of this, Qiu Jiang couldn't help but smile sweetly, which was captured by the camera outside.
The sound of the camera "clicking" was clearly heard by everyone. She looked outside with a confused look on her face, and saw several men and women in casual clothes with nameplates hanging around their necks excitedly checking the images they had just captured.
His face was full of joy.
Not only was she a little stunned, but others also looked at them in confusion and asked, "Who are you?"
Guo Kai walked out of the house with a frown, but before he could ask any more questions, he saw a man in a brown coat drinking coffee from a cup behind them.
If it weren’t for them, who else could lead Ji Mingcheng?
Even though they didn't know what was going on, it was clear that their team didn't stop them. It was obvious that these people had come here after a clear reason.
He looked at their nameplates keenly and was stunned.
"Why, why are you here now?"
He was so shocked that he unconsciously smoothed down his police uniform, which was already as neat as it could be, and even stood much straighter, but he still broke out in sweat on his forehead.
Coincidentally, Chen Da also arrived at this time. After looking at everyone's nameplates, he began to doubt himself. "Didn't you say you'd come over around ten o'clock?"
It’s not even half past eight yet?
I haven't even started working yet.
How could they all come to the police station at this time, and no one had told him.
Although he was not as concerned about his image as Guo Kai, he also felt that he was too sloppy. He scratched his head with his fingers as if it were a comb, trying to make himself look more serious.
Ji Mingcheng coughed twice, and the reporters smiled and made way for him to reunite with his teammates. It was only after he came out that they knew what had happened.
"True appearance?"
Are you talking about the real scene of them gathering together to eat buns and chat?
Some people were so sad and angry that they were about to cry.
"Zhang Ze, look at you, you're such a loser. What's the big deal? We're not even at work yet. What's wrong with eating some buns and chatting? We just finished the previous case with great difficulty."
Everyone knows that their fifth team has solved several major cases in succession, but they have not been idle at all. It is so rare to have such a relaxed atmosphere. It is not like they have done anything to embarrass the police force.
He spoke very frankly, and the reporters laughed and said, "We know how to write it. We've solved such a big case, and we're afraid that if we portray our police force as too fantastical, it might put people off visiting us. Also, this case is so serious, the report will be awkward. So we suggested to our leaders that we film some everyday scenes. There's no other intention at all."
Oh, so that's what happened. All my nervousness just now wasted.
Ji Mingcheng looked down at his watch, then looked up and clapped his hands, saying, "It's almost time to go to work. You should all go do what you need to do. They'll just take a few photos. It won't bother you for too long."
They suddenly realized what was going on and quickly took their positions.
The person who had not finished eating the buns just now was in no mood to eat anymore, but he really couldn't bear to throw away the half-remaining buns, so he simply put the buns into the bag, stuffed it under the table, and started working as usual.
Qiu Jiang is one of them.
However, as soon as she sat down, several people peeked into the room, as if they were looking for someone. She was a little suspicious, but she remembered her leader's instructions and did not disturb them.
But she looked so well-behaved and polite. Plus, several people had just taken photos of her beautiful smile, and they were very fond of her. Someone immediately came over and asked, "Little girl, is Qiu Jiang from your team here? She's the one who stopped the truck by clinging to the front of the truck."
Qiu Jiang blinked and raised his hand hesitantly, "It's me. You're looking for me..."
She doesn't remember having any journalist friends.
Seeing her face full of confusion, the reporters' eyes widened, their voices rose a little, and they shouted in surprise.
"You are that Qiu Jiang——"
What is that Qiu Jiang???
She was completely confused, but they were even more stunned.
The policewoman they imagined who could remain calm in the face of danger and turn the tide in a critical moment must be an experienced and heroic Charlie's Angels.
But the result is a beautiful and cute girl who is extremely sweet and makes people fall in love with her at first sight?
Who is misleading them?
People on both sides looked at each other, and then looked at the same person.
"Team Season."
"Team Season."
Qiu Jiang looked to him for help eagerly.
The reporters were eagerly hoping that he could give an accurate answer.
Ji Mingcheng raised his eyebrows, strolled over, beckoned Qiu Jiang to stand up, then placed his hands on her shoulders and solemnly introduced her to them, "Qiu Jiang, the hero of our team five's cracking this case."
Is it really this little girl?
They didn't know what expression to make, and everyone was extremely conflicted. It wasn't because of anything else, but because they were afraid that the case-solving process report given to them by the police last night might have been a lie.
The thing about stopping the truck was all fake. Maybe she had some special background. This time, her family specifically ordered the leaders of the police station to find a way to promote her, so they tried to force the credit of others on her.
It’s no wonder that they are full of conspiracy theories. As people who work in social news, they have all seen some dark sides.
This kind of thing has happened before.
But Ji Mingcheng always knew what could make others completely eliminate unnecessary speculations.
"Jiang Jiang, there's an important box in my car in the backyard. I need it in five minutes. Go get it now."
After saying that, he threw the car keys to her.
Even though it was the first time for the journalist friends to come to the police station, they were not unfamiliar with the place, especially since they had just come here with him, so they naturally knew where the backyard he was talking about was.
If their estimate was correct, even an Olympic champion wouldn't be able to run back and forth from here in five minutes, let alone find the box he mentioned.
For a moment they wondered if he did it on purpose, because he simply didn't like this girl. But just as they had this suspicion, Qiu Jiang took the key calmly and said, "Okay."
As she said this, she ran out in front of them. They happened to be standing not far from the door, all looking outside with frowns on their brows.
However, in just a moment, the girl disappeared from the entire corridor. Those with a good sense of direction immediately looked towards the stairs and finally shouted when she completely disappeared at the stairs.
"I'll go, she's over there on the stairs."
Many people could only see a vague arm-throwing movement and had no idea what was happening with the shadow. The person had completely disappeared.
They had never felt that five minutes was so long, but they were not surprised. After all, if someone could really run at such a speed, would they still be called a human?
It is beyond the comprehension of normal people.
Seeing that there were only more than twenty seconds left before the deadline, they were in no mood to analyze where the girl had gone, but instead cast suspicious eyes on Ji Mingcheng.
They deeply suspected that Captain Ji was playing a trick on them, and that the policewoman who actually did all this might still be hidden in this room.
"Team Season, is this it?"
Qiu Jiang appeared at the door, slightly out of breath, with a chill on his body, obviously having just come in from outside.
Many people opened their mouths wide.
"You're coming up now?"
"Yes." Ji Mingcheng nodded and said jokingly, "This is the subsidy I brought you."
She suddenly remembered the joke she made yesterday and felt a little embarrassed. Her whole face wrinkled up and she complained, "Captain Ji, you know I was joking."
"I know." Ji Mingcheng lowered his eyes and smiled, "But I'm not kidding."
Qiu Jiang was at a loss for words and kept the box in her hands.
The journalist friends, who had not yet recovered from their doubts about their lives, were attracted by their back and forth, which was like a puzzle.
"Team Ji, what are you doing..."
"Oh, I forgot to mention that not only did she capture the suspect, but she also participated in the entire interrogation of the suspect yesterday. She played a valuable role that others could not have achieved, successfully opening the suspect's tightly closed mouth."
He left them stunned, their eyes switching back and forth between belief and doubt. Seeing Qiu Jiang's young age... they really couldn't believe what he said at all.
Unfortunately, their suspicions are one thing, but the facts are another.
It is understandable if one person cheats, but who has ever seen a whole team of people cheating, even the other teams gave them a thumbs up.
"Jiang Jiang is amazing."
Facts speak louder than words.
Even if they couldn't believe it, they had to accept this bombshell at this moment.
However, they were journalists after all, so they figured it out after a while and felt that this would actually increase the chances of a hit.
After all, a sweet little policewoman is the main member in solving a serial murder case that has lasted for thirteen years. She also has the same skills as those in martial arts novels. In today's Hong Kong martial arts films that are popular all over the country, wouldn't it be more likely to catch the readers' attention?
Once they figured it out, they all looked at Qiu Jiang like wolves that hadn't eaten for three days staring at delicious meat.
Dark green.
It's just scary.
Qiu Jiang was so scared that she shivered.
Soon things were out of her control. She was not only a newcomer to their Anxi Police Station, but also a capable person brought up by Ji Mingcheng. She was an important achievement of the effective communication and cooperation between the mainland and Hong Kong police. Both the police station and the reporters paid more attention to her.
So much so that when Director Kuang finished giving a brief account of the case at the press conference and it was time for questions and comments, someone would call on her from time to time.
Qiu Jiang sat stiffly. Even though their team had told her many interview tips, such as how to avoid dazzling lights, she could not apply these techniques flexibly when faced with the crackling and flashing lights. Her eyes hurt and her eye sockets became slightly moist to relieve the discomfort.
With such wet eyes, who couldn't help but say that this girl was so adorable? Even the reporters who were usually known for their sharpness softened their hearts. The questions they asked were not sharp, but more about whether she was scared at the time, how she managed to climb onto the truck and get into the cab, etc.
After hearing these questions, Qiu Jiang gradually relaxed a little. Although the flashing lights made her uncomfortable, she also slowly learned how to avoid them. Even though her eyes still felt uncomfortable, she was not as helpless as before.
"I'm scared, but I also know we only have this one chance. If he gets away, where are we supposed to find him in this vast sea of people? Will we ever be able to catch him? And when will the grievances of those innocent girls who died be redressed?"
"And catching him wasn't just my achievement. Everyone in Team 5 has been working tirelessly day and night to search for clues. Some of my colleagues, whose children are still running fevers, can't go home. They've endured anxiety, guilt, and heartache to do their best to fulfill their responsibilities. If the suspect truly isn't caught, what a shame and frustration it would be for all of our team captains and members who have sacrificed so much."
"I clearly have the potential to catch him. If I don't do it out of fear, how can I face my superiors and colleagues? So I know he must be kept this time, even if I'm afraid, I have to do it."
Her voice still carried the childishness of a little girl, but her eyes were as firm as a soldier's, leaving no doubt that this was her true thought.
The whole audience was silent for two seconds. Everyone looked at the little girl with sparkling eyes, and their blood began to boil. Suddenly, one or two sporadic "pa pa pa" sounds were heard, and soon the entire press conference site erupted in thunderous applause.
"Wow, Jiang Jiang said it so well." Deng Xingwang and his friends did not go to the front of the press conference, but even if they were sitting in the audience, they could not hide their emotion and joy.
Especially Zhang Xing, who was mentioned by Qiu Jiang, had tears in his eyes, and he cried and laughed at the same time, but no one laughed at him, because they all knew how he had been through these days, so the people sitting next to him gave him a fist bump.
Don’t cry, buddy, I understand you.
Zhang Xing wiped the corners of his eyes fiercely and grinned.
Now is a great day for them to be commended for solving the case, how can they cry?
It would be terrible if the luck was scared away.
After this wave of emotions subsided, the reporters finally came to the topic that they were most concerned about, which was how did she do it?
Although they had witnessed her speed at the police station, could anyone really be that skilled?
Since I've never seen it before, I have to be skeptical.
Qiu Jiang briefly recounted what happened yesterday, and then asked the reporters present if anyone could lend her a small video camera.
This was the first time they had encountered such a request, and the reporters were very curious about what she was going to do. Soon someone brought her a small silver video recorder, demonstrated to her how to pull out the hidden rope of the video recorder, and told her that she could hang it around her neck.
This kind of video recorder is perfect. Qiu Jiang smiled sweetly at her, then walked to the window and opened it. In an instant, the cold air outside flowed into the room unscrupulously, and many people shivered.
It’s such a cold day.
But what does she want to do?
Many people were so curious that they stood up from their seats, unable to take their eyes off her.
Then Qiu Jiang took two steps back, put some distance between himself and the window, and suddenly rushed over there. He lifted his feet, jumped onto the window, and jumped out.
"OMG--"
The entire scene was filled with shock, including the three directors and many of their colleagues.
I don't know how many people rushed to the window, but they couldn't bear to look at the ground. They only dared to glance quickly with the corner of their eyes. However, there were only a few policemen walking as usual on the empty ground. There was no trace of the tragic red scene.
"Where are the people?"
"Oh my God, why is he gone?"
"Where's the little policeman?"
…
They shouted one after another, their voices unable to be restrained due to fear. This was because they were in the large conference room on the top floor of the fifth floor of the police station, which was a certain height above the ground. The people below also heard the chattering sounds above and looked up to see what was going on.
“This, this, this…”
The three leaders grabbed Ji Mingcheng together, and he was almost unable to stand. Ji Mingcheng's palms were indeed sweating just now, but after seeing the reactions of these reporters, he gradually calmed down and still had the energy to comfort the three directors.
"Don't worry, Director Kuang, Qiu Jiang knows what to do."
Have some sense?
Since when did jumping off a building become a sensible thing to do?
Kuang Maoxun and the others almost didn't know how to write these three words. They were all sweating coldly and didn't dare to go close to the window to look. They just kept shouting for someone to call an ambulance.
As soon as he shouted, he saw a figure pushing the door open and his eyes widened immediately.
The other people in the police station also looked over and were pleasantly surprised. "I told you Jiang Jiang wasn't a reckless person. Look, he's fine now."
All those sitting here were colleagues from Team Five who were on field duty. They had all witnessed her heroic and miraculous actions yesterday. Even though they were truly frightened to the point of their hearts, livers, spleens, lungs, and kidneys being twisted into a ball, they still had some trust in her.
Although not much.
But now that they actually saw people, they completely relaxed and were all smiling.
"Our Jiang Jiang's skills are amazing."
"Hey Jiang Jiang, where did you come from just now? Up or down?"
"Downstairs." Qiu Jiang said with a smile, "I saw that the window of Forensic Doctor Lu's office was not closed, so I jumped directly into their room. I didn't expect to scare them. If I hadn't just explained it to them, I should have been able to get up faster."
After hearing the voice behind them, the reporters quickly turned around to look. When they saw her, they were stunned. After hearing what she had just said, they turned around again and moved closer to the window to look down. They could only see a piece of white curtains floating out of the window. Then a young man with exquisite hairstyle poked his head out of the window and shouted in surprise.
"Are you kidding me? This is so damn good."
Although it was not Mandarin, people who were used to watching Hong Kong movies could still tell which language it was spoken in and painlessly translated it into words they were familiar with.
That's right, who would have thought that such a cute little girl who looks so fragile could be so outstanding.
Since she had dared to prove herself on the spot, who would dare to doubt her anymore? For a moment, everyone looked at her with extremely enthusiastic eyes, especially after seeing the video in the VCR she brought back, the whole conference room was boiling.
The light focused on her face relentlessly.
"Comrade police officer, look this way."
"Look here, look here."
"Comrade Qiu Jiang, can we arrange an interview with you?"
…
Qiu Jiang had never seen such a scene before, and she was a little suspicious whether her way of proving it was too extreme. Look at what she had done to them. They were all very reserved when she first met them in the morning.
Just when she was at a loss, a big warm hand pulled her behind him. He stood in front of her, facing the stressful lights. Not only did he not panic, but he also restored order on the scene in a few words.
The most important thing is that after learning that she had no intention of accepting the interview, she directly rejected all invitations on her behalf without any room for negotiation.
However, Ji Mingcheng obviously knew how to give someone a hard time and then offer them another chance. He promised that if the police had a case that needed to be publicized or they took the initiative to seek an interview opportunity, they would decide whether to accept media coverage depending on the progress of the case and the specific circumstances.
As for who will come for the interview at that time, it is hard to say.
At least it was not a complete failure. The reporters also knew that they could not push too hard. Moreover, with such shocking news, they had to rush back to write a new edition and try to get it published as quickly as possible to seize the initiative.
Therefore, the subsequent press conference ended quickly. Everyone looked at Qiu Jiang who was hiding behind Ji Mingcheng with regret, and left downstairs in a hurry.
But when they got in the car, some people inexplicably remembered a report in a well-selling newspaper not long ago.
I'm talking about the plainclothes policeman who jumped from the top floor to the rooftop and kicked a female prostitute during the police crackdown on prostitution two weeks ago.
Look at that back, isn’t it exactly the same as the little policewoman just now?
Oh my god, it’s her again.
The reporters, feeling that they had missed out on 100 million yuan, beat their chests and stamped their feet, deeply upset.
