Chapter 543: Encountering Mental Disorder Again



The familiar cell phone ringtone rang, and Bai Song was in a good mood. Ever since the last ringtone incident, Bai Song would be very happy to hear a normal ringtone.

"Chief Bai, someone was caught at the front desk. He's a thief." Ren Xu called Bai Song.

If you catch someone, you must report it to the leader on duty.

Bai Song was looking at the files in the office. He was frowning as he looked at some photos in Captain Li's case file. After receiving the call, he immediately went downstairs.

In the front desk hall, a thin, dark-skinned girl was handcuffed to a bench, curled up there and shivering.

"What's going on?" Bai Song asked.

"Bai Suo," said Wang Xiaofeng, the king of Ionia. "This man was caught stealing something and brought here. The owner is in the back room getting a statement."

"Is there any surveillance video?" Bai Song asked.

"Yes, she stole the phone and took it out, whereupon the owner discovered her and caught her red-handed. The surveillance footage was also very clear," said Wang Xiaofeng.

I’ve handled many theft cases and caught many thieves, but this one is a little different.

Although this girl is thin, she doesn't look like a thief at all. The main thing is that her eyes are not right.

Her eyes were a little... dull.

This is what the suspect in the car scratching case this morning looked like.

Although his eyes were looking around and his expression revealed curiosity and fear, Bai Song could still see his dull state at a glance.

In this case, the person either has mental problems or is somewhat mentally retarded.

People like this often have very special reasons for stealing, because Bai Song was very suspicious that this woman didn't know where to sell the stolen phone, unless she was part of a bad organization.

However, I have only heard of bad guys organizing this kind of people to beg, but I have never heard of organizing them to steal. It is too easy to be caught.

After asking a few questions, the girl didn't say a word. Wang Xiaofeng said at the right time: "This girl has not spoken since she was brought here."

"Have the family members contacted the guardian?" Bai Song asked.

"Um...Chief Bai, the identity of this woman has not been confirmed yet." Wang Xiaofeng said.

"Go to my office, get the key to the household registration office, and check the files of mentally ill patients in the community near the crime scene to see if she is there." Bai Song ordered.

"Understood." Wang Xiaofeng took the order and Bai Song went to the interrogation room first.

The person whose phone was stolen was a burly man who smelled of alcohol, probably having just been drinking. Bai Song asked him and found out that the man was drinking and didn't notice that his things had been stolen until the woman took the phone out of the house. The person he was traveling with saw it, and then he ran out and caught the man.

This case is very simple. The phone must be accepted as evidence first, that is, it must be placed in the public security bureau for a few days and then returned after the price appraisal. Since it is pickpocketing, it is definitely a criminal case, but if you don't know the girl's situation, it is indeed a bit troublesome.

In real life, there are many people who are arrested and do not provide their information. In this case, they can still be detained, and it is not difficult for the police to find out a person's information after detention.

If the girl's situation is not true, she must be detained. Because she has no money and no guarantor, it is impossible to release her on bail. If she is released directly, she may run away. If she is not detained, everyone will be held responsible if she runs away.

After taking the statement, the person who lost the phone left first. Ren Xu had a headache: "Chief Bai, with that woman's condition, seven days of criminal detention is useless. The procuratorate can't arrest her for such a small case. If we can't find her family or something, do we have to change it to residential surveillance at a designated location?"

Bai Song looked at Ren Xu in surprise. It seemed that he had been working hard recently.

Among the several compulsory measures in criminal cases, apart from criminal detention, the only ones that the public security organs can use are bail pending trial and residential surveillance.

Bail pending trial means having a guarantor or a deposit, and residential surveillance means home surveillance and surveillance at a designated location.

If this girl has no place to live, and the Public Security Bureau places her under residential surveillance at a designated location, even for just two weeks, Team 4 will go crazy. This job is too exhausting.

"It's OK. If we can't find her family, we can first detain her and then apply for a psychiatric evaluation. The time limit for the psychiatric evaluation is not included in the detention period." Bai Song pondered for a while: "If she really has mental problems, and the circumstances are minor and not harmful to society, the procuratorate may just criticize and educate her, and then decide not to prosecute."

"Oh, I feel relieved when you say that." Ren Xu would also consider the worst outcome, and he felt reassured when he heard Bai Song say that.

At this time, Wang Xiaofeng came in and said, "Director Bai, I found out. I have already contacted her father."

"What did her father say?" Bai Song asked worriedly, "Tell me exactly what he said."

Bai Song was worried that the girl's father was an old bastard. After all, when he encountered such problems, he would always try to do things in a bad direction. Sometimes he would just say, "I don't care where you die." Then no one could do anything and could only detain the woman.

This criminal detention is very troublesome and requires a female police officer.

"Her father said he would come in half an hour, so we have to wait for him."

"Did he say 'suffer'?" Bai Song asked.

"Yeah." Wang Xiaofeng said affirmatively.

The word "shou bu yu" is a local colloquialism, which is roughly equivalent to "trouble" or "please".

This made Bai Song feel relieved.

"Can you tell me about this girl?" Bai Song asked.

"She's 31 years old. Her name is Zhao Fenfen. Her father's name is Zhao Qi."

"Uh..." Bai Song thought of the topic he had just talked about with Ren Xu. He met someone with the same name as the emperor, and his surname was the former royal surname.

During this period, Ren Xu and Wang Xiaofeng went out on police duty again, and Bai Song was waiting here for the girl's father to come.

There are no female police officers or auxiliary police officers in Group 4. If the girl is to be criminally detained today, they will have to ask the police station to transfer two female comrades over. However, if the girl's father can come, the situation can still be handled by applying for bail pending trial, and there is no need to ask the police station for people.

The cell phone is not expensive, and even if it is identified, the value will not be much. The woman's situation is also special. Even without an identification, Bai Song can tell that she has mental problems. This is something that cannot be faked.

After a while, the girl's father came over. Bai Song took a closer look and found that he came on a tricycle with some waste on the vehicle. It was obvious that he was a waste collector or rag picker.

The man who came in was less than 1.6 meters tall and weighed about 80 or 90 kilograms. He had an unshaven beard and a hunchback. He looked to be in his sixties. When he saw Bai Song and his child, he ran towards Bai Song with a small bag in his hand.
