Chapter 119 Saved Another One
Just as the knife in the thief's hand was about to stab Ding Chunmei, Ding Chunmei felt the collar on the back of her neck tighten.
A huge force pulled him back suddenly.
With just this pull, the tip of the knife brushed past Ding Chunmei's clothes at the critical moment.
The next second, Zhou Yi arrived and kicked the knife out of the thief's hand.
At the same time, he released Ding Chunmei's hand and pushed the thief to the ground.
Zhou Yi turned around and said to Ding Chunmei sternly, "Are you trying to kill yourself?"
Realizing that she had come back from the gates of hell, Ding Chunmei's legs went weak and she fell to the ground.
Song Shasha and Li Jie also rushed over at this time and asked Ding Chunmei with concern whether she was injured.
But Ding Chunmei was completely dazed and stood there stupidly. She could only feel her heart pounding and her ears buzzing and she couldn't hear anything.
Police officers on duty on Commercial Street rushed over immediately after receiving a report from the public. They saw Zhou Yi pinning someone to the ground, pointing at him and shouting, "Put your hands on your head and squat down."
Zhou Yi held down the struggling thief with one hand and took out his ID from his trouser pocket with the other.
"Brother, I'm one of you. I'm on leave today and I don't have handcuffs with me. Please help me."
The police officer came over to check his ID. After seeing that his workplace was the Municipal Bureau, he immediately took out handcuffs and helped Zhou Yi handcuff the man.
Zhou Yi picked up the fruit knife that had fallen to the ground and said, "This man is not only suspected of theft, but also intentional injury. You can take him back for a thorough interrogation. We'll go back with you later to take his statement."
Zhou Yi searched the man's body and found a wallet. He looked at the crowd, held up the wallet, and asked loudly, "Where is the owner? Whose wallet is this?"
A woman in her thirties stepped out of the crowd and said, "Comrade police officer, the wallet is mine."
"Okay, let's go back and make a statement together." He handed the wallet to the elder sister and said, "Count it and see if there is any money missing."
The elder sister took the wallet a little nervously, looked at it, and nodded repeatedly to say that nothing was missing.
Only then did Zhou Yi squat down to check on Ding Chunmei's condition. Only her clothes were torn, but she was not injured.
"Are you okay?"
Zhou Yi's voice woke Ding Chunmei up. Her eyes turned red and she shook her head with gritted teeth.
"Can you stand up?"
Ding Chunmei nodded and stood up with the help of Song Shasha and Li Jie.
"How come you run so fast? You just popped out like a rabbit."
Zhou Yi's words made Ding Chunmei burst out laughing, but tears also came out at the same time, and she suddenly became in a state of being both amused and helpless.
Li Jie said: "Meimei used to be on the school sports team and was a sprinter. The physical education teacher said she had great explosive power and was a good candidate for a sprinter."
Zhou Yi didn't know what to say.
In her previous life, Ding Chunmei's outstanding athletic ability cost her her life.
This time, even though Zhou Yi was prepared, she was almost stabbed to death.
"Officer Zhou... Officer Zhou, thank you for saving my life." Ding Chunmei said with a slightly trembling voice.
"Ding Chunmei, it's a good thing to be brave and do what is right, but the prerequisite is that you must have the ability to protect yourself first. If something happens today, what will you do to your family and friends?" Zhou Yi said seriously.
This girl's initiative and sense of justice are too strong. I must warn her today. Otherwise, even if I save her this time, who knows when she will put herself in danger again.
Ding Chunmei said: "I'm sorry, I didn't think so much..."
Li Jie tried to smooth things over, saying, "Remember, you must listen to the police officer from now on."
Ding Chunmei nodded repeatedly.
Things went smoothly afterwards. After a few people went to the nearest police station to record their statements, the matter was officially over.
When they parted, Ding Chunmei thanked Zhou Yi profusely.
Zhou Yi made an appointment with her to meet at the TV station the day after tomorrow.
Zhou Yi was in a very good mood tonight, because to some extent, Ding Chunmei was the first person he actually saved after his rebirth, except for his grandfather.
He suddenly became full of confidence, because he could definitely save Lu Xiaoshuang and save more people who should not die.
…
The next day, Zhou Yi officially returned to work at the Municipal Bureau.
As soon as he entered the office, Wu Yongcheng informed him that Director Xie would hold a case summary meeting on the 313 case in the afternoon, and Zhou Yi would speak as a representative of the main investigators of the case.
Zhou Yi said "oh" and didn't show any surprise.
"Aren't you panicking?" Wu Yongcheng squinted at him.
"What's there to be nervous about?" Zhou Yi thought to himself. He had no idea how many times he had held this kind of summary meeting in his previous life.
Wu Yongcheng was skeptical and said, "You little brat, you're so calm. Okay, then you better behave this afternoon and don't embarrass me."
"It's a must."
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Yan placed a pile of information on Zhou Yi's desk.
"Master said he would give you the criminal investigation, forensic, and trace examination information. It's all here."
Zhou Yi looked at the thickness of the pile of information and felt that he had agreed a little too early.
Fortunately, I read files for eight years in my previous life, and I guess no one in the current municipal bureau can compare to me in reading files.
Until the last interrogation of Xu Jiaguang yesterday, the criminal motive in this case was clear and the chain of evidence was complete. Xu Jiaguang will definitely be subject to the most severe punishment of the law.
The forensic department sent body part samples to the provincial department for DNA testing, but that was before Xu Nian and his team discovered the sleeping pills remaining in the stomach. The results from the province have not been returned yet, but it doesn't matter anymore.
Zhou Yi turned the last page and let out a long sigh.
I just saw Qiao Jiali returning to the office. "Sister Qiao, how is Xu Xinxin now?"
"Xiao Shuang and I just went to the welfare home to see her yesterday. The Women's Federation also took good care of her. She has become much more cheerful."
"Also, the psychiatrist said the current treatment is effective. Perhaps Xu Xinxin can testify before the trial."
"It's just... they said her damaged nerves will probably be difficult to recover." Qiao Jiali sighed.
Zhou Yi said: "Perhaps, being a little slow to react isn't such a bad thing. When she grows up, she might not remember these inhumane experiences she had as a child."
"Well, I hope so."
…
In the afternoon, the case summary meeting was held as scheduled in the auditorium inside the Municipal Bureau.
The entire Hongcheng City Bureau, including all departments, has nearly two hundred people.
Although not all of them were present, all departments involved in the investigation of the case were present, as were representatives from other branches, numbering over a hundred people.
On the stage sat a group of leaders from the Municipal Bureau.
Xie Guoqiang, the director and party official, sat in the center, next to him were the deputy secretary and the executive deputy director, and then two deputy directors, the director of the political department and other leaders.
For the first time, Zhou Yi met the legendary leader of the Criminal Investigation Brigade, Ni Jianrong.
Deputy Captain Wu Yongcheng sat on the outermost left side.
After the meeting started, Director Xie first opened the meeting and made a brief speech.
Zhou Yi was a little surprised because Director Xie's speech was really brief, without quotation marks.
It took about five minutes, and the main point was to emphasize how bad the nature of this case was and how huge the social impact it caused was.
Then Director Xie said, "Next, please invite Zhou Yi, the representative of the investigators of this case, from the Criminal Investigation Brigade's Third Squad, to come to the stage and speak."
