Chapter 204 Reporting the case: The girl was abducted

Carriage No. 8 is the dining car. Xia Qingling knew that she would be able to find staff here. It would be much more efficient to ask the staff to help her find the train police than to search blindly.

Xia Qingling found the staff in Carriage No. 8 very smoothly. After knowing that she wanted to call the police, the staff quickly contacted the train police.

Xia Qingling sat there and waited for a while, and then saw two men in police uniforms walking towards her.

The two men were one old and one young, one fat and one thin. The fat man was about fifty years old, very calm, and looked very experienced.

Without further ado, Xia Qingling briefly told the police what had just happened, as well as her own speculations, and told them that she highly suspected that the woman was a trafficker, and that they were most likely a gang.

"These are all your inferences, right? Do you have any substantial evidence?" The young police officer who was following him asked before the old police officer spoke.

"Not at the moment." Xia Qingli said truthfully, and then added:

"But I have a feeling that there must be something wrong with them."

"Comrade, intuition is not the key to investigating a case." The young police officer said seriously:

"If everyone is like you, reporting a case based on intuition without any evidence, it will not only waste our police resources, but also easily wrongly accuse good people and bring unnecessary trouble to other passengers."

Xia Qingli knew that now was not the time to argue with this young police officer and decide whether to report a case based on intuition. After all, time was short. If the people just now were really bad guys, and they became alert and took the children away when they saw that he had not returned to his seat for a long time, it would be difficult to catch them in the future.

She didn't talk to the young police officer anymore, but looked at the old police officer and said,

"Although I don't have any substantial evidence to prove that they are the bad guys, the woman's behavior is indeed suspicious, and the little girl also gave me clear hints, so please go and investigate."

"If it is clear that I made a mistake, I can give them a gift and apologize, or even write a written apology letter. But if we waste time sitting here discussing whether we can report the case without evidence, and the bad guys notice and run away, wouldn't that be too much of a loss?"

The young police officer was a little dissatisfied when he saw Xia Qingying skipped him and spoke directly to the old police officer, so he expressed his concerns:

"The gay compartment is a closed space. If we don't have evidence and we go up to question the passengers or take them away directly, it will easily cause panic among the other passengers. If a stampede happens accidentally, the consequences will be very serious..."

Xia Qingli didn't know how to convince the other party for a moment. After all, the police have their own set of guidelines for handling cases. But now the matter is imminent. If the little girl was really abducted, and she failed to convince the conductor in front of her to investigate, it would be equivalent to making her lose a chance to escape.

Xia Qingling became tough. She looked at the young police officer and said sternly:

"I know the difference between criminals and suspects. Now I have found a suspect and come to report to you. Whether they are guilty or not requires further investigation by you. But if you don't even investigate and let the criminals who could have been arrested escape, wouldn't it be considered a dereliction of duty to the people?" "

But when investigating a case, we also have to look at the evidence. You have no basis..." Before the young police officer finished speaking, the dignified and steady old police officer suddenly interrupted him, looked at Xia Qingling with praise in his eyes, and said:

"Comrade, which car is the 'suspect' you mentioned? Please take us there."

Xia Qingliu heard the old police officer say this, and did not continue to talk to the young police officer. She stood up immediately without hesitation and walked to her own car.

"Master, didn't you tell me last time that we should be serious about evidence when handling a case? Now she has no evidence, and can only rely on her intuition. If she finds out that she has wrongly accused someone, it will cause commotion and panic, and the passengers will come to complain to us..." The young police officer said in confusion.

"I have told you that we must be rigorous in handling cases and pay attention to evidence, but that is directed at us police officers. Now that the people have come to report the case, we have an obligation to investigate and give them an explanation." The old police officer continued to talk to his young apprentice as they walked:

"What this female comrade said is right. The detection of many cases starts with suspicion. Now that a suspect has appeared, we must investigate. We should not shirk the investigation because we are afraid of complaints from passengers."

The young police officer seemed to understand a little, but did not refute his master's words. He followed the old police officer and quickly caught up with Xia Qingli in front.

The few people soon arrived at the carriage where Xia Qingxi was sitting, but the woman and child who were originally sitting there were gone. Xia Qingxi subconsciously looked to the side and found that the "kind" man who first gave money to the woman was also gone.

"Brother, may I ask where the mother and daughter who were sitting here just now are?" Xia Qingxi hurriedly asked the man sitting opposite.

"They left." The man was puzzled when he saw Xia Qingxi coming with two policemen, and then said:

"You just went to the toilet for a while, and they left."

These guys are really cunning. Xia Qingxi thought to himself that he must have revealed something flawed just now, which made them notice it, so after he got up and left, they took the child away.

"They are still on the train." Xia Qingling turned to the old police officer and said,

"The little girl was most likely kidnapped by her."

The train had not yet arrived at the station, so they could not jump out of the window and escape, so they were still on the train.

The old police officer did not respond to her immediately, but asked the people around him about what had just happened.

So everyone told him everything that had happened after the woman brought her daughter to this carriage.

The old conductor thought for a while, then asked Xia Qingxi and the passengers around about the appearance of the woman and the little girl, then turned to his apprentice and said,

"There are still three hours from here to the next station. Did you hear their characteristics clearly? We will search the entire carriage now to see if we can find anyone with suspicious behavior."
