In the county public security bureau chief's office, only An Moxue was there. She was making a phone call. "Hello, please transfer to the office of Political Commissar Zhang Jing of the Lion Independent Regiment. -- Okay."
"Hello, this is the Lion Independent Regiment, I am Political Commissar Zhang Jing."
"Hello, Uncle Zhang, I am An Moxue. I am in danger and need the organization's help." An Moxue burst into tears as soon as she heard Zhang Jing's voice, crying as she spoke.
The voice on the other end of the phone said, "Mo Xue, don't be afraid. Tell me what happened." When Zhang Jing heard An Mo Xue crying, he knew from her usual personality that she must have suffered a great injustice.
An Moxue composed herself and said in a tearful voice, "Uncle Zhang, our village organized a movie screening last night. After the first movie, someone came to call me, saying an old man from the village needed to see me. It was already past ten o'clock. I'm very close to this old man; he's a veteran revolutionary. So I went home, but when I was almost there, I was ambushed by two men. I knocked one of them out of the fight, but the other one kept chasing me. I fled into the mountains. There are mountains right behind where I live, and they kept chasing me. Eventually, three men caught up with me, and I fought back and captured them all. These four men were active members of the armed forces department in Ankou County, and two of them were retired. I took them down one by one and captured them all. Then the one I knocked out of the fight escaped. Apparently, he was their squad leader, and he was the one who gave the orders." "The order was to secretly arrest me. They claimed I was involved in a national scientific research incident that involved treason. They said the order came from the provincial military in Feilong Province, and he's currently the only one on the run. I'm very confused. My parents' last mission seemed to be related to scientific research. How do they know about this? Is it related to the same thing? Isn't it highly classified? Why are they coming to arrest me? That's why I'm calling you today. I'm calling you from the Ankou County Public Security Bureau. I'm the only one in the office right now. Uncle Zhang, regarding this incident, I don't know if it was premeditated or a coincidence. On the day I arrived in the countryside, when I went to the freight depot at the train station to pick up my luggage, I encountered two neatly dressed human traffickers pretending to be my parents trying to take me away. I recognized them and caught them."
"Okay, Mo Xue, I understand. I'll take care of it right away. Take good care of yourself while you're in the countryside. If anything happens, don't hesitate to call your uncle, okay?"
"Okay, Uncle Zhang."
"How are you doing over there? Are you adjusting well?"
"It's great. The people in this village are easy to get along with. The village chief and the accountant are also nice people. They've all taken good care of me. Don't worry, Uncle Zhang!"
"Okay, that's fine. Call the police chief in. I have something to say to him."
"Okay, Uncle Zhang, please wait a moment, I'll go out and call him." Then An Moxue turned around and left the room, calling in Director Li of the Public Security Bureau before leaving the room and closing the door.
More than half an hour later, Director Li came out, and the case was now under his personal supervision.
After he went out, he called two more police officers to go out and receive the prisoners. When the police officers saw the terrible state of the prisoners, they were stunned. How could a girl do that? At the same time, they all thought to themselves that they should not offend this girl. She was really ruthless.
Director Li coughed lightly a few times, making a fist and putting it to his mouth to cover up the men's lapse in composure. He then said, "Comrade An Moxue, their injuries are quite serious. They are unconscious, and all four limbs are fractured. We cannot conduct a normal interrogation. We can only provide medical treatment first and proceed with the interrogation once they regain consciousness. Do you agree?"
"Director Li, yes, no problem."
"Alright, I'll send someone to take them to the hospital first. They'll be guarded while they're there, so don't worry, they won't escape."
"Okay, I believe you, Director Li. Shouldn't you deal with that junior policeman who just received me?"
"Alright. Xiao Huo, come here for a moment." Director Li beckoned to the young policeman. "What happened just now? Tell me."
The young policeman stammered for a long time, unable to say anything, his face turning red before finally managing to say, "Chief, I just felt that they were all official employees of the Armed Forces Department, and it was impossible for them to arrest people without reason, so I tried to persuade them, that was all."
“Director Li isn’t like that. If he had just tried to persuade me, that would have been fine. He even told me to pay for the medical expenses. As the victim, why should I pay for medical expenses? Wasn’t this self-defense? I even want to ask them for compensation. That’s reasonable, isn’t it? But you’re preventing me from reporting the case, verbally threatening me, and trying to settle this privately. That’s not normal,” An Moxue said angrily.
"You still want compensation? Is this even possible? I've never handled a situation like this before. Let's discuss this after they wake up, okay? We can't say now, they're still unconscious," Director Li said.
“Okay, then Director Li, what do you think we should do with this junior policeman? My idea is that you should thoroughly investigate him. I think he might be related to this case. He might have been an insider or a participant before, or at the very least, he had ulterior motives. He blocked me from reporting the case and from going in to see you. This is not the attitude a policeman should have.”
"Okay, I will investigate him and deal with him seriously, don't worry."
"Okay, I believe Director Li is a fair and selfless person."
"Now that our case is clear, all that's left is the review process. I'll wait for definite news and then let you know, okay?"
"Okay, thank you for your help, Director Li. I will cooperate as needed. The military will contact you when the time comes."
"Okay, I will take this matter very seriously. Don't worry, I will be in charge of it, and I will absolutely not let anyone else confuse the issue."
"Thank you for your trouble, Director Li. We'll be going now." The accompanying militiamen quickly carried the three prisoners off the mule cart, and then An Moxue, Old Ma, the village chief, and others got on the mule cart and left the Public Security Bureau.
After they boarded the cart, they could still hear An Moxue saying, "Comrades, let's head to the state-run restaurant. You've all worked so hard for me, we should have a good meal. Then, when we leave, we'll pack some food for the militia members who couldn't make it. Thank you all." The mule cart drove away...
Watching the mule cart drive away, Director Li sighed in admiration at the promising young people and turned to clean up the mess.
