"To put it simply, there was also a human trafficker traveling on the same train as you. This human trafficker is a key criminal that our police have been pursuing for a long time. He is cunning by nature and has committed many serious crimes, including those involving human lives."
"Because of its heinous nature and wide-ranging impact, we are currently intensifying our efforts to apprehend the suspect."
"We had already located this person's whereabouts and confirmed that he was about to board this train, and we had made advance arrangements to arrest him."
"But unexpectedly, this person was so vicious and depraved that, upon realizing he was being followed and pursued, and understanding that continuing to carry the victim would likely prevent escape, he actually..."
At this point, a hint of reluctance flashed across Chen Feng's face, and his voice became much lower.
"They actually dismembered the victim..."
Upon hearing this, Du Chenzhou was startled. He slowly widened his eyes in disbelief and listened intently.
"Afterwards, this human trafficker changed his clothes and disguised himself multiple times to mislead us, and scattered the body parts into different packages, which increased the difficulty of our investigation and tracking."
Du Chenzhou couldn't help but gasp.
Chen Feng also pressed his temples: "The reason we brought the three of you back for investigation was because the package under your seats was very similar to the packages that the suspect had scattered around."
"Therefore, we cannot release you until we have thoroughly investigated and confirmed your innocence. Please cooperate with the investigation."
Du Chenzhou was somewhat stunned by what he heard. It took him almost ten seconds to belatedly come to his senses and nod.
The moment he nodded, he felt a chill run through his body.
Even though it's summer, it feels like a cool breeze is seeping into your pores.
This was the first time he had ever heard of such a heinous case.
Especially when he was actually involved, the sense of reality was even stronger, and a strong sense of bloodshed rushed towards him, making him feel chills.
Chen Feng and Zheng Yifan saw him nod and then sit there in a daze, and each sighed.
"Comrade Du, please also translate and convey the true situation to the two people next to you, and ask them to remain calm."
"Once the truth comes out and it is proven that the case has nothing to do with the two of them, we will naturally release them."
Zheng Yifan nodded and continued.
"China is a country ruled by law. Everything is based on the law and evidence. We will not let any bad person go unpunished, nor will we wrong any good person. Whether Chinese or foreign, we treat everyone equally."
"So please tell them not to be nervous."
Du Chenzhou then realized what had happened and quickly translated and relayed the words of police officers Chen Feng and Zheng Yifan to Howard and Lusca, offering them words of comfort.
"The current situation is indeed special, and we cannot contact our comrades in Russia for the time being. We can only wait for the investigation results."
Howard and Lusca frowned deeply after hearing the story, their expressions a mixture of shock and regret for the victims.
After a moment, the two sighed heavily, their expressions no more relaxed than before, and could only say—
"We hope that the Chinese police can investigate this matter as soon as possible."
This "as soon as possible" seems like an eternity to them.
After all, in their country, even a small theft case can take three to five days to investigate.
The two slumped dejectedly in their chairs. Their lower legs were flat against the ground at a 90-degree angle, but because their legs were too long, they looked like they were curled up in a wronged manner. Their arms dangled on the armrests, with their forearms almost entirely hanging off the ground.
With its long arms and legs, it seemed to have nowhere to go, and it even looked somewhat pitiful.
Although Du Chenzhou didn't think he would stay in the police station for many days, being locked up here like a criminal and losing his freedom of movement was still somewhat frustrating.
Fortunately, when he was bored, the police checked his pocket watch and returned it to him temporarily.
Du Chenzhou was overjoyed, examining the pocket watch from all angles to make sure it was undamaged, and then breathed a sigh of relief.
Immediately afterward, as if seeking solace, he pressed the button on his pocket watch with practiced ease and a touch of impatience.
With a "clang," the outer shell popped open, revealing the photo pasted on the inside.
Looking quietly at the girl in the photo, Du Chenzhou's anxious and uneasy heart finally calmed down.
Even though he had seen the photo so many times, the attraction of the person in the photo seemed to have never changed, just like the first time he saw it.
He couldn't help but gently trace the eyebrows and eyes of the person in the photo with his finger.
I wonder how old this girl is now, what unit she works for in Beijing, and whether... she has anyone else around her.
And what role does he play in her memory?
The thought of what the police officer had just said—that the girl was on her way—made Du Chenzhou's heart beat faster and faster, pounding against his chest.
He could even feel that the distance between him and her was gradually getting closer.
Du Chenzhou couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips, and he clutched his chest, feeling the tremor from his heartbeat.
The girl in this photo is the only person he can clearly and vividly remember.
He had a gut feeling that there must be a deep connection between them.
Perhaps, just like the stories in the magazine, they were destined to be together, and no amount of change could break their bond; even God was on their side.
Even if they lose their memory, they can still go through some twists and turns, meet again, and continue their relationship.
And today may be the day they rekindle their romance.
The more he thought about it, the faster his heart beat, each beat pounding against his chest with even greater force than before, as if confirming his earlier guess.
Deep down, he even had a premonition—perhaps meeting this girl would stimulate his brain and allow him to fully recall those lost, vague memories.
Just like in those stories, the protagonist remembers everything, reunites with his beloved girl, and they rekindle their romance. Everyone is happy, and the rest of their lives are filled with happiness and a grand finale!
Du Chenzhou became more and more excited the more he thought about it.
He was already eager to regain his past memories.
