Chapter 23: Major Case Team 7
Coal Ash was heroically wounded.
The left forelimb was scratched by flying glass fragments and a cut was left.
Xia Mufan took it to the nearby clinic for disinfection and bandaging. Meihui started whimpering as he looked at his feet wrapped in white gauze.
[Xia Xia, I am injured now and cannot walk. 】
You have to hold me every day. 】
[I also want dried fish, lots and lots of dried fish.] 】
Xia Mushige hugged the soot lovingly and nodded heavily: "Okay!"
The process of capturing Wu Dameng was so exciting and thrilling that Xia Mufan broke out in a cold sweat when he recalled it afterwards.
Coal ash has made great contributions. No matter how it acts coquettishly or what conditions it puts forward, Xia Mufan will fully cooperate.
Xia Mufan's original plan was to let Meihui take his friends to stop a car to disrupt Wu Dameng's sight.
It is often said that cats have nine lives.
Cats have a developed balance system and a complete body protection mechanism. The thick fat pads on their toes can resist shock, and their tails can maintain body balance. Cats have short forelimbs, long hind limbs, strong muscles and ligaments, and are good at jumping. They are agile and can jump onto the hood of a vehicle when it starts moving. Even if they are thrown off, they will be fine.
Although the cats are light, weak and have little power, as long as there are enough of them, they can block the vehicle's view and Wu Dameng's escape speed will be hindered.
However, Xia Mufan was wrong about one thing.
She didn't expect Wu Dameng to be suspicious and shot at the coal ash in fear.
In Xia Mufan's opinion, Wu Dameng valued his own life more than anything else. Knowing that there were snipers lying in ambush all around, he would never dare to let the gun leave Sun Xianbing's temple while escaping, so naturally he would not hurt the cats.
The moment the gunshot rang out, Xia Mufan's heart seemed to be gripped by something and he could hardly breathe.
Fortunately, the large piles of bird droppings from the gray magpie stuck to the front windshield of the car, playing a key role.
During the driving lessons, Yu Jing once told Xia Mufan and Sun Xianbing that if bird droppings fall on the windshield, never use windshield wipers with windshield washer fluid. Once the bird droppings are sprayed with windshield washer fluid and the wipers swing, the car windows will immediately become blurry.
Sun Xianbing was very smart. When he saw the bird droppings dripping, he immediately pretended to be panicked and turned on the wipers, and the windshield immediately became dirty.
Because of his blurry vision, Wu Dameng was shocked and frightened, and he fired randomly and missed the target. In addition, the wild cats were agile, so except for a few cats whose fur was scratched by flying glass, the rest were safe and sound.
After treating the injuries of all the cats and feeding each cat a few dried fish, Xia Mufan returned to the police station with coal ash. As soon as he entered the room, he was called to the director's office.
"Report."
Xia Mufan's voice was not as loud and clear as usual, and his movement in pushing the door was a little slow.
Xia Mufan knew that he was being reckless this time.
Dragging Liu Aizhen out of the safe area and letting her face Wu Dameng with a gun, with so many onlookers watching, does not meet the police's law enforcement requirements.
Wei Yong looked up from his desk.
Xia Mufan in front of him looked like a cabbage that had been frosted, which made Wei Yong feel a little soft-hearted.
After all, he is still a young man who has just started working and has only been in police uniform for half a year.
Wei Yong remembered that when Xia Mufan first reported for duty, her personnel file stated that she lost her mother at the age of eight, and her father remarried and lived in Hui City. However, she had lived in the countryside since childhood and graduated from Hui City Xinzhang Town Middle School. It was obvious that she was a child who lacked parental care.
The fact that Xia Mufan was able to be admitted to the China Police University based on her own strength shows her intelligence, strength and independence.
Wei Yong remained silent, which put pressure on Xia Mufan, so he took the initiative to admit his mistake: "Captain Wei, I was wrong today. I accept your criticism and punishment."
Wei Yong smiled bitterly: "I haven't criticized you yet."
Facing the generous Director Wei Yong, Xia Mufan was very sincere: "Director Wei, I know what you are going to say. I know that I shouldn't have dragged Wu Dameng's mother into the middle of the crowd, and I shouldn't have confronted Wu Dameng face to face. I was indeed impulsive at the time."
"If you know it's wrong, then why do you do this?" Wei Yong's heart softened and his tone became much gentler.
Xia Mufan did not hide his inner thoughts: "Captain Wei, I saw Wu Dameng relying on the gun in his hand to first hijack and injure the vendor, and then threaten the police to exchange hostages. He was disgusted when Team Leader Yue Yuan wanted to attack him, and had to pick on Senior Brother Sun who didn't say a word. I was not convinced. Why is he so arrogant? Isn't it because he knows that our police are good people, we do things with principles, we will never hurt innocent people, and we will definitely be cautious?"
After hearing this, Wei Yong's heart was slightly moved.
Xia Mufan's words touched his heart.
The reason why Wu Dameng was able to escape ten years ago was because the police who were chasing him in a busy city were afraid of hurting the people and did not dare to shoot, but Wu Dameng had no scruples.
Seeing that Wei Yong did not interrupt her, Xia Mufan continued speaking.
"I was also very angry at the time. I was thinking, why should good people be controlled by bad people? Why should the police talk about principles with murderers? Why did Liu Aizhen raise such a scourge and still need our protection? In a rage, I..."
At this point, Xia Mufan looked at Wei Yong seriously: "I didn't think too much at the time, I just didn't want to see Wu Dameng continue to be arrogant, I wanted to suppress his arrogance. He has been on the run for ten years, you must think he has been hiding like a rat in the gutter, right? But you are wrong, you see he is fat and well-dressed, driving a car to Hui City, which shows that he is doing well. Such a guy dares to return home in glory! He caused Dayu to be hit and injured, and threatened Brother Sun to exchange hostages, shouldn't he and his mother also suffer?"
After saying everything he was thinking in one breath, Xia Mufan finally felt much better, with a bright light shining in his eyes.
Wei Yong pondered in silence.
I don’t know if it’s because he lost his mother at a young age and was raised in the countryside, but Xia Mufan has a wildness in him.
The advantages are strong drive and courage to take risks.
But the disadvantages are also obvious, that is, ignoring the rules and making mistakes easily. Moreover, because of acting without scruples, it is easy to offend people.
The environment at the police station is relatively simple and can accommodate her wildness. But as an excellent girl, she will definitely move to a bigger stage in the future. Will she fail again when that time comes?
Wei Yong couldn't bear and didn't want to see this happen.
Wei Yong stood up, poured a cup of hot tea and handed it to Xia Mufan, saying softly, "Put down the coal ash, sit down and have a drink of water. It's cold outside today, so warm yourself up first."
When Xia Mufan saw Wei Suo's good attitude, he immediately relaxed a lot.
There was a charcoal fire in the director's office. Xia Mufan placed the coal ash next to the charcoal basin, then took the hot tea and sat on the chair.
It was really cold outside in the twelfth lunar month. After being busy all day and highly nervous, Xia Mufan was indeed a little tired.
Wei Yong calmed Xia Mufan down and then began to speak: "Xiao Xia, do you know why this society has to set up various rules?"
"Why?"
"Because we are human beings, not animals."
Xia Mufan raised his eyes and looked directly at Wei Suo. Wasn't he going to criticize himself for acting rashly? How do you start talking about the importance of rules?
Xia Mufan’s bright eyes touched Wei Suo’s heart.
Human beings, generation after generation.
It is the responsibility of the older generation to pass on life lessons and insights to the younger generation so that they can avoid detours. This way, each generation can become stronger than the previous one.
"In the animal world, people believe in the law of the jungle, where the fittest survive and the strong are king. If we apply the same law to humans, how can the weak survive? How can fairness be guaranteed? How can civilization continue?
Therefore, in order to maintain social stability, protect people’s interests and life safety, and improve production efficiency, there are various rules, ranging from legal systems to student codes of conduct and village conventions. ”
Xia Mufan nodded thoughtfully.
Although she hates rules, she is not unreasonable. Some rules do have a purpose. When she was in school, her teacher asked her to recite the student code of conduct, such as respecting teachers, uniting with classmates, loving the collective, and being honest and trustworthy. These are all correct.
She just...hated those rules and regulations that could only restrain good people but not bad people.
Wei Yong finally got to the point here and used today's arrest operation as an example.
"The arrest of Wu Dameng was led by the serious crime team. It was a collective action. All actions were under command. This is the rule. Why should we obey it? Because our police dispatched five vehicles and more than 30 people this time. If we rush together, it will hinder each other and be inefficient, so we must obey unified deployment."
Xia Mufan raised his eyebrows, his face full of disapproval: "But if he really followed the command and Dayu didn't take the initiative to rush forward and stop Wu Dameng, I'm afraid he would have run away long ago."
Wei Yong shook his head: "Yue Yuan has already contacted the traffic brigade and set up roadblocks on sparsely populated roads. He can't get away."
Xia Mufan exclaimed, "Ah!" and his eyes widened.
Wei Yong said: "Da Yu disregarded his own safety and stopped Wu Dameng. His starting point was good and his performance was brave enough, but it was precisely because he did not obey the command and acted on his own that Wu Dameng's car crashed near the vegetable market, which led to his kidnapping of ordinary people."
Xia Mufan pursed his lips and said nothing.
Seeing that she was listening, Wei Yong continued, "I am not denying your contribution. In order to capture Wu Dameng, you put your life at risk and showed a fearless spirit. This is very rare. But you have to know that we are police officers and a team. In order to ensure efficiency, we must abide by the rules. Do you understand?"
Xia Mushige nodded again.
Wei Yong said, "Let's take a step back and say that Wu Dameng escaped today, so what? We have his license plate and his current appearance. We can also get more information from Li Yanzhen, who passed the message to him, and from the envelope he gave to Liu Aizhen. The better he gets and the more resources he has, the more traces he will leave in this society. If we try to catch him again, he will be stuck."
Only then did Xia Mufan realize that not only himself, but also Yu Jing and Sun Xianbing were too eager.
Perhaps because of the precedent of Wei Yong's ten-year pursuit of a murderer, they all thought that if they missed this opportunity, they didn't know when they would be able to catch him next time.
Therefore, the three of them gave it their all, not fearing life or death.
However, Wei Yong now told her that there was no need to be so anxious, and she just needed to obey orders and do her best.
This made Xia Mufan feel a little uncomfortable.
She frowned: "Wei Suo, we just don't want the bad guys to succeed, so..."
Wei Yong interrupted her: "If you want to fight crime, you must first protect yourself. If you keep the green mountains, you will not be afraid of running out of firewood. Follow the rules to protect yourself, understand? If you drag innocent people into a dangerous situation, once an accident happens, your police career will end here. How can you fight crime?"
Thinking of his own growth process, Wei Yong warned Xia Mufan earnestly: "Xia, although rules sometimes restrict us, for the sake of long-term development, we must first be familiar with the rules and abide by them. When we have the ability in the future, perhaps we can make the rules, right?"
Get familiar with the rules, follow the rules, and then make the rules?
Xia Mufan felt as if a window had opened in front of her, through which she could see a farther and broader future.
Her eyes sparkled with a bright light, and she became full of energy. She raised her head and chest and said loudly, "Yes!"
Wei Yong smiled with relief and waved his hand: "Okay, go to the hospital to see Xiao Sun and Dayu."
The hospital is very busy.
Fortunately, the hawker who was shot and lost too much blood received timely treatment. He is no longer in danger of death after the operation, but he still has to continue recuperating. His wife stayed by his side and when she saw a policeman coming, she bowed and thanked him.
Yu Jing had a fractured sternum and was lying on the hospital bed, not daring to move, but he was still conscious. He was surrounded by colleagues from the police station, who asked about his well-being.
In another ward, Liu Aizhen witnessed her son being shot to death. She was severely traumatized and is currently in a coma.
Some neighbors who sympathized with her came to visit her, but they just took a quick look and left in a hurry, unwilling to stay in the ward and be scrutinized by others.
Wu Dameng took hostages in a busy city, openly challenged the police, and chose to save himself without hesitation when faced with the tears of his sick mother. All these actions made people angry and despicable. Even the old neighbors who watched him grow up couldn't help but curse: He deserved to die!
Sun Xianbing's face was scratched by broken glass and was wrapped up like a rice dumpling, but he was in good spirits. When he saw Xia Mufan coming over, he grinned and said, "Xiao Xia, I'm still alive, I'm still alive."
Xia Mufan was still holding the coal ash in his hand. Sun Xianbing snatched the coal ash without saying a word, kissed it hard, and kept muttering to himself.
"Soot cutie, you saved my life!"
"From now on, I will take care of your dried fish."
"Xiao Xia, from now on, I will pay for the coal ash."
Xia Mufan smiled and said nothing.
For a moment, Xia Mufan was really a little scared. I am afraid that I will end up like Director Wei Yong, watching my comrades die.
Fortunately, the coal ash appeared in time.
Fortunately, the sniper had perfect timing.
Fortunately, the police were well prepared.
After being held by Sun Xianbing for half a minute, Meihui became a little impatient. He struggled to jump onto the desk and meowed twice at Xia Mufan.
[I am your little kitty.] 】
[It’s not his!] Don't let him hold you. 】
Xia Mufan was in a good mood. He took out a small dried fish from his pocket and put it to Meihui's mouth, rubbing its little head: "Well done."
Coal Ash really did a great job this time.
It was it that ambushed at Wu Dameng's parents' home and provided important clues. It was also it that rushed to the front of the car with its little friends at the critical moment, and together with the gray magpie, it aroused the fear in Wu Dameng's heart, causing him to panic and shoot at the car window.
As long as the muzzle of the gun leaves Sun Xianbing's temple, the sniper will have the opportunity to attack.
The more Sun Xianbing looked at the coal ash, the more he found it rare.
When he stood up and took the initiative to become Wu Dameng's hostage, he was actually extremely frightened.
He originally thought that he would be injured in the car chase, and was also prepared for the possibility of being shot to death by Wu Dameng, but for some reason, when Xia Mufan stood in front of him and said that he would die for him, Sun Xianbing felt a trembling in his heart, rising from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.
Is it love between men and women?
Sun Xianbing knew it wasn’t.
It is a kind of emotion, a kind of worship, and a kind of belief.
At that moment, Sun Xianbing felt that Xia Mufan transcended gender differences and was not just an ordinary colleague, but his most trusted comrade-in-arms and brother.
Sun Xianbing looked at Xia Mufan with a piercing gaze: "Xiao Xia, how are you so good at raising cats? Look at Meihui, he listens to you a lot! If you ask him to be a spy, he will be a spy. If you ask him to pounce on the windshield, he will pounce without hesitation."
Xia Mufan said calmly, "There are many cats in the countryside, so we have experience."
Speaking of raising cats, Sun Xianbing still has a question: "It's ok that Coal Ash understands human nature, but why do so many wild cats come to you when they hear your whistle?"
Xia Mushige responded: "Animals are sensitive to certain sound waves. When I was a child, I often interacted with cats and dogs, and gradually figured out several whistles that can properly guide their actions. In addition, with Coal Ash taking the lead, so..."
Sun Xianbing thought it was amazing: "You mean you can command small animals by whistling?"
Xia Mushige shook his head: "I can't give orders. I can only guide, encourage or stop according to the situation."
Sun Xianbing seemed to understand, but was it important? unimportant!
Anyway, Xia Mufan is very capable, and there is nothing wrong with following her. That's the right thing to do.
Next comes the finishing work before the New Year.
Yu Jing was hospitalized because of a fractured sternum. It would take a hundred days to heal the injury and he could not be discharged from the hospital for a while, so his colleagues at the police station took turns to take care of him.
Although Wei Yong criticized Xia Mufan and the other two for not following orders, that was because he loved them deeply and was very strict with them. In fact, in the operation to capture Wu Dameng, Anning Road Police Station became the focus of commendation.
Director Wei Yong and case team members Yu Jing, Sun Xianbing and Xia Mufan performed outstandingly and bravely in the arrest operation, and were awarded the third-class collective merit.
As expected, Anning Road Police Station was rated as "the police station most satisfied by the people". This is the highest award for grassroots units in the provincial public security system and it is of high value. Therefore, every police officer in the police station received a generous year-end bonus and had a good year.
During the Spring Festival, the police station took turns on duty, and Xia Mufan chose to stay.
After her mother disappeared, neither her father's house nor her uncle's house was her home.
Wei Yong was alone anyway, so he decided to keep Xia Mufan company.
The two made dumplings together, watched the Spring Festival Gala, and handled daily affairs together during the Spring Festival.
Wei Yong has extensive experience and knowledge, and whenever he has time, he tells Xia Mufan what he has seen and thought in the form of storytelling.
Xia Mufan is smart, bold, straightforward and innocent, but he has always lacked an elder to guide him. He eagerly absorbs all kinds of social experience.
From New Year's Eve to the seventh day of the New Year, the old and the young established a family-like relationship in just a few days.
On the 16th day of the first lunar month, Yu Jing was discharged from the hospital.
Yu Jing was greeted not only with medals, certificates, and funds, but also with a transfer order.
Yu Jing, Sun Xianbing and Xia Mufan will be transferred to the serious crime team of the Criminal Investigation Brigade of Hui City Public Security Bureau.
Yu Jing felt that his brain was not enough. He looked at the transfer order and asked in disbelief: "Transfer all three of us to the serious crime team? What about our police station then?"
There are three people in the case team of Anning Road Police Station, and now all of them have been transferred to the serious crime team. This...
Noticing Yu Jing's hesitation, Wei Yong patted Yu Jing on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry. Our Anning Road Police Station has a quiet work schedule and good accommodation conditions. There are many people who want to come. We don't need a few of you."
After Wu Dameng was shot dead, the huge stone that was blocking his heart fell to the ground. Wei Yong looked refreshed and looked seven or eight years younger. Wei Yong is happy to see the departure of these three young men under his command and wishes them the best. He hopes that they can get more opportunities to train in their new positions and grow into the best police officers in the public security system.
After Yu Jing was discharged from the army, he was assigned to work at the Anning Road Police Station. He had worked with Wei Yong for five years. The two had long been as close as father and son. When faced with the sudden separation, they felt very reluctant: "Captain Wei, how about I stay in the police station?"
Wei Yong smiled: "Is this all you can do? Don't miss such a good opportunity."
Looking out the office window at the backyard of Anning Road Police Station, every tree and blade of grass here seems extremely familiar. Yu Jing sighed, "Xiao Sun and Xiao Xia graduated from the criminal investigation major of the police academy. They can better display their abilities in the serious crime squad. I am just an ordinary car soldier. Detecting and solving cases is not my strong point. What is the point of going to the serious crime squad?"
Wei Yong glared at him and said, "Yue Yuan said that you are brave and resourceful, and have good driving skills. The serious crime team just needs a talent like you, so he personally sent the transfer order to you. You are still young, and you have a long way to go in the future. Don't stay in the police station, go!"
Sun Xianbing was a little anxious, and pulled Yu Jing to his side: "Big Yu, you will have more opportunities to make meritorious contributions if you join the serious crime squad. Let's advance and retreat together."
After saying that, Sun Xianbing glanced at Xia Mufan who had remained silent the whole time and said, "Is that so? Xiao Xia, go and persuade Dayu as soon as possible."
Xia Mufan nodded and said, "If we go, we go together. If we don't want to go, no one will go." In the half year since she came to the police station, she has solved several cases with Sun Xianbing and Yu Jing, and gradually established a tacit understanding between them. Being transferred to the serious crime squad together is definitely better than fighting alone.
Yu Jing looked at Xia Mufan with some surprise. When did his position become so important?
Sun Xianbing scratched his head. "Dayu, if you and Xiaoxia don't go, I definitely won't go to the serious crime squad. It's fine for me to stay in the police station and be a small policeman. The serious crime squad deals with murderers all year round. It's too dangerous. You don't know, the arrest of Wu Dameng before the New Year really scared me. If it wasn't for Meihui and the group of wild cats to show up bravely, I don't know if I could survive. If I died, my grandpa and grandma would definitely not be able to bear it."
Yu Jing's attention was immediately diverted: "Where's the coal ash?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a gray and black figure rushed in from the door, jumped onto the desk, and meowed at Yu Jing.
Yu Jing reached out his hand, touched Mei Hui's head, and said with a smile: "You must be a spirit, right? You came running over when I called you."
Coal Ash raised his little head proudly and meowed twice.
[It’s great to have dried fish to eat every day.] 】
[Xia Xia, he was the one who wanted to touch me, not me asking for adoption. 】
Ever since the Wu Dameng incident, Meihui has become the darling of the Anning Road Police Station, especially Sun Xianbing, who was grateful to it for saving his life and bought a bunch of dried fish and canned fish to feed it. Meihui has gradually become fatter and fatter.
The residents who witnessed Coal Ash and a group of wild cats rushing towards the jeep at the vegetable market also felt that this incident was close to a "miracle."
——Do you think that God wants to take Wu Dameng’s life?
——Don’t you think it’s strange? A bunch of wild cats jumped onto the bad guys' car, and a dozen magpies flew into the sky and pooped, forcing the car to stop.
——I heard that Wu Dameng shot at the wild cats like a madman. Not a single cat was hurt, but he was shot dead. He deserved it!
Xia Mufan had no explanation for such rumors.
Rather than letting people doubt her ability to communicate with animals, it is better to let them believe that "evil will be punished by God."
Yu Jing did not witness Meihui's performance on the scene, but he heard Sun Xianbing exaggerate it eight hundred times during his hospitalization. Yu Jing felt very close to this cat adopted by Xia Mufan: "It is worthy of being a cat in our police station. It even knows how to mobilize the masses to catch bad guys~~"
Sun Xianbing struck while the iron was hot: "Team Leader Yue said that Meihui can go with us. Dayu, this is the organization's arrangement, you can't back down."
Yu Jing raised his eyes to look at Wei Yong again: "Wei Suo, I..."
Wei Yong smiled: "Just go for your future, don't worry about me. Wu Dameng is dead, Xun Yangzhou's revenge is achieved, it's great! This year, the Criminal Investigation Brigade of the Municipal Bureau has carried out reforms. Not only has the salary increased, but the serious crime team has also been divided into seven groups. It's a big change. The three of you go together and discuss it. It will be easier to get familiar with the new environment."
Yu Jing straightened his chest and raised his head, and responded loudly: "Yes!"
Sun Xianbing was overjoyed and raised his elbow to nudge Xia Mufan: "Xiao Xia, that's great. The three of us will solve big cases together in the future!"
Xia Mufan's eyes sparkled: "You can go, but I have a condition."
Sun Xianbing's heart suddenly lifted: "You, what are your conditions?" He prayed secretly in his heart. He had finally persuaded Yu Jing to agree to the transfer, but he hoped that Xia Muchan would not create any more problems.
Being transferred to the serious crime squad was what Xia Mufan had always wished for.
However, it is a rare occasion that Yue Yuan personally issued the transfer order and transferred three people from Anning Road Police Station in one go. If we don’t discuss conditions now, when will we?
Xia Mufan walked to the phone and called Yue Yuan: "Hello, Team Leader Yue."
Yue Yuan's loud voice came through the phone line, and everyone in the office could hear it clearly: "It's Xiao Xia, have you decided when to report to the serious crime team?"
Xia Mufan's voice was calm: "You can report at any time."
Yue Yuan couldn't hide his inner joy, and his hearty laughter made Xia Mufan's hand holding the phone numb: "Haha...Okay! Then hurry up, I'll show you the way."
"Team Leader Yue, I have a condition."
Xia Mufan lowered his head slightly and looked at the stack of files on the desk.
"condition?"
Yue Yuan obviously didn't expect Xia Mufan to make a request at this time. He stopped laughing and his voice became serious: "What conditions?"
Sun Xianbing and Yu Jing looked at each other, not knowing what to say. The police force has its own rules, and this transfer is also a work requirement. It goes without saying that the Criminal Investigation Brigade will consider issues such as salary, bonus, and accommodation, and will never let them suffer any loss. Why is Xia Mufan putting forward conditions now?
Xia Mushige took a deep breath and said, "I will take charge of the first case after I join the serious crime team. I want to reopen an old case from fifteen years ago, a case of a missing woman."
Xia Mufan's voice was soft, but with a hint of sadness.
Everyone held their breath.
The disappearance of a woman fifteen years ago? Is he Xia Mufan’s relative?
Without waiting for Yue Yuan to ask, Xia Mufan took the initiative to tell the truth: "The missing person is named Xu Shumei, she is my mother."
Sun Xianbing felt like something was grabbing his heart and he couldn't breathe. His eyes turned deep when he looked at Xia Mufan. Fifteen years ago, Xia Mufan was only six or seven years old. How sad she must have been for such a young child to suddenly lose her mother.
Yu Jing couldn't help but say: "Xiao Xia, I'll help you!"
I never expected that the strong and brave Xia Mufan would carry such a heavy burden. Regardless of whether the serious crime team agreed to initiate an investigation or not, Yu Jing felt that he had to support Xia Mufan.
Sun Xianbing immediately followed: "Xiao Xia, I'll help you check too!"
When Xia Mufan knew that Director Wei Yong took the responsibility for Xun Yangzhou's death and had been keeping an eye on Wu Dameng for ten years, he stood up without hesitation and said he would help Wei Yong. Now it has been fifteen years since Xia Mufan's mother disappeared. Sun Xianbing felt an indescribable bitterness in his heart. He must help!
Wei Yong stepped forward, took the phone from Xia Mufan, and gave Yue Yuan a direct order: "Xiao Yue, agree quickly."
Once he got into work mode, Yue Yuan spoke very quickly: "Which jurisdiction is this case from? I'll ask Feng Xiaoyu to transfer the files and apply to reopen the old case. The three of you come over here and report in immediately!"
There were stars in Xia Mufan's eyes, and this starlight was called hope.
After fifteen years, she finally became a criminal police officer.
She could finally investigate her mother's disappearance with a legitimate reason.
No matter where her mother is, whether she is dead or alive, she must find out the truth of what happened!
Wei Yong hung up the phone and looked at Xia Mufan seriously.
After a while, he reached out his hand and patted Xia Mufan's shoulder gently, his eyes kind and gentle: "It's okay, I will definitely find it."
Xia Mufan nodded heavily: "Yes!"
After a farewell banquet in the cafeteria of Anning Road Police Station, Xia Mufan, Sun Xianbing and Yu Jing went to the Criminal Investigation Brigade to report amid the reluctant gazes of everyone.
Yue Yuan took them to the new office.
On the second floor of the small white building, after walking up the stairwell, there is a long corridor.
From east to west, they are Serious Crime Group One, Group Two... Group Seven.
Many years later, even after becoming the country's top criminal investigation expert, Xia Mufan will never forget the touch and warmth in her heart when she, led by Yue Yuan, stepped into the office at the westernmost end with the sign "Serious Crime Unit 7".
At three o'clock in the afternoon, the sun shone from the southwest, illuminating the nearly 30-square-meter office.
Specks of dust dance in the sunlight.
Metal filing cabinets, pure pine beige tables and chairs, a few pots of thriving green radishes, and a shiny white board against the wall...
Gong Weiguo and Feng Xiaoyu were standing at the door in uniform, smiling brightly.
Yue Yuan said: "Gong Weiguo is good at dealing with the media and tracking down criminals, and Feng Xiaoyu is meticulous and good at paperwork. The two of them took the initiative to apply to be in your group. From now on, the five of you will be the core members of the Seventh Serious Crime Unit."
Sun Xianbing and Yu Jing said in unison: "Yes!"
Xia Mufan did not respond immediately, but looked at Feng Xiaoyu and Gong Weiguo with a cautious look.
Feng Xiaoyu is gentle and cute. She smiles before she speaks and you can tell at first glance that she has a good temper. Perhaps because there were too few women in the serious crime squad, Feng Xiaoyu showed enough goodwill towards Xia Mufan. This time she asked to be transferred to the serious crime squad seven, and Xia Mufan could understand.
But...Gong Weiguo?
In terms of appearance, Gong Weiguo is tall and handsome, fitting the image of an honest and good policeman. He can easily gain people's trust when dealing with people, and he is indeed good at handling external affairs. However, Xia Mufan remembered that this person was very narrow-minded. He looked down on him at the beginning and his words were full of thorns. Why did he take the initiative to apply to join Group 7?
There was doubt in Xia Mufan's eyes, which made Gong Weiguo blush a little.
He scratched the back of his head sheepishly and chuckled, "Well, as for me, I really want to join you. It's my fault if I offended you before."
During the arrest of Wu Dameng, Xia Mufan took the initiative to stand in front of Sun Xianbing. That moment really shocked Gong Weiguo.
He didn't expect Xia Mufan to be so brave and have such a spirit of sacrifice.
If Gong Weiguo was a little jealous of Xia Mufan before, after that moment, he was completely conquered by Xia Mufan. He hopes to be in the same group with Xia Mufan and become one of her followers like Sun Xianbing.
Feng Xiaoyu joked: "He loves to show off too much, and other groups dislike him."
Gong Weiguo couldn't hold it in anymore, and his face suddenly turned red. "What, what? How am I showing off?"
Sun Xianbing and Yu Jing looked at each other, not knowing how to respond for a moment.
Yue Yuan suppressed the smile on his face and called out the name seriously: "Xia Mufan."
Xia Mufan subconsciously stood up straight and straightened his chest: "Here!"
Yue Yuan looked at her deeply and said, "I am in charge of the serious crime team. I now appoint Comrade Xia Mufan as the leader of the serious crime team 7. Do you have confidence?"
Xia Mufan was silent for a moment.
She graduated from the police academy just half a year ago and was awarded the rank of third-level superintendent. How could she have been promoted to team leader so quickly?
Yue Yuan repeated in a deep voice: "Do you have confidence?"
Xia Mufan felt the pressure and looked up at the other four members of Serious Crime Unit 7.
Sun Xianbing and Yu Jing nodded at the same time: "Xiao Xia, you can do it!"

Especially during the capture of Wu Dameng, Xia Mufan bravely took that step, and his image suddenly became taller in Gong Weiguo's mind.
After experiencing one case after another, Gong Weiguo has already acknowledged Xia Mufan's ability in his heart. When the serious crime squad was reorganized, Gong Weiguo chose to join Xia Mufan's team without hesitation.
He had a hunch: if he followed Xia Mufan, there would be hope of making achievements.
Feng Xiaoyu smiled sweetly: "Xia Xia, come on." There are seven teams in the serious crime squad, and Xia Mufan is the only female team leader, which really brings honor to the female police officers.
