Chapter 417 Surrender to Save Life
Jia Zhengjing: "What's going on? Where are the officers?"
Xu Lin: "Did you go to the bar at Mingyang Villa last night?"
Jia Zhengjing: "Yes, I'm going to a social event with my friends."
Xu Lin returned Jia Zhengjing's ID card to him.
"We found this in a roadside trash can while collecting evidence at Mingyang Villa. We now have reason to suspect that a group of criminals posing as police officers raided the bar at Mingyang Villa last night. We're still investigating and collecting evidence to determine if any patrons suffered any personal injury or financial loss. Please cooperate with the investigation and share what happened last night."
Jia Zhengjing: "My head hurts so badly when I talk about what happened last night. I was one of the victims last night. I thought I was just being overly suspicious, but it turns out there really is something wrong with those people! At around nine o'clock in the evening, my friend and I went to a private room there to eat. After dinner, Michael, a friend of the other party, dragged us to the bar to drink and have fun. We couldn't resist him and had to go crazy with him. We played until around one in the morning when a group of them suddenly appeared out of nowhere, hit me on the head with a stick without saying a word, snatched the secret box my friend gave me, and pretended to take my ID card. That's what happened to me at Mingyang Villa last night."
Wu Sangui whispered in Xu Lin's ear: "What he said is basically consistent with the surveillance footage we retrieved earlier and the testimonies of other guests."
Xu Lin: "Who did you go to Mingyang Villa for dinner with?"
Jia Zhengjing: "Officer, you know that person too! It's Xin Yu who accompanied me to the police station last time! If you don't believe me, you can go ask him."
Xu Lin: "I know that, but I want to know what's inside the password box?"
Jia Zhengjing: "I don't know about that. Didn't I just tell you that Xin Yu was busy entertaining Michael at the time, so he asked me to keep the box for him temporarily."
Xu Lin: "Then guess what's inside? Aren't you curious at all?"
Jia Zhengjing: "It's really hard to say, anything is possible, I can't say anything without thinking, if you want to know, you should go ask him yourself!"
Xu Lin: "Okay then! Your girlfriend and I will go back to the police station first. We'll contact each other if anything happens. Lu Zhenzhen, let's go."
Lu Zhenzhen: "Hey, let's go now."
Jia Zhengjing: "Come back soon, or call me when you're ready and let me pick you up."
Lu Zhenzhen: "I know, I know. Be careful not to be laughed at."
In the car, Xu Lin couldn't help but ask, "When did you become so affectionate?"
Lu Zhenzhen: "Officer, do you believe in fate?"
Xu Lin: "Who among modern people would believe in something so illusory and vague?"
Lu Zhenzhen: "That's true. Actually, Jia Zhengjing and I have known each other since we were at Lingsi Monastery. We both have a good impression of each other. I'm unmarried and he's unmarried, so it's like young people with a burning desire to get together. Isn't this illegal?"
Xu Lin: "I don't want to point fingers at your private life, nor do I want to make too many comments about your love life, but there is one thing I must remind you of: your new boss is not a good person. I think it's best for you not to get involved with them."
Lu Zhenzhen: "You are talking about Nangong Yu and Situ, right? Thanks for the reminder, I will pay attention to it, but for now I don't think there is any problem. I am also quite satisfied with my new job and don't want to make any changes for the time being."
Xu Lin: "Okay, this is just my personal opinion. I hope it doesn't affect your decision. Okay, now we're here. Once you go in, someone will give you instructions on what to do. If nothing unexpected happens, it should be ready in an hour. Then come find me in my office and I'll take you home or... back to Jia Zhengjing's house."
Lu Zhenzhen: "No need. You police officers are already very busy. I won't bother you with such a small matter."
Xu Lin: "Okay then! Contact me if you have anything."
Lu Zhenzhen followed the other policewomen away, and Wu Sangui and Xu Lin also returned to their offices.
Wu Sangui: "Strange things happen every year, but this year they are especially numerous. How did these two people who have nothing in common end up together?"
Xu Lin: "Didn't you hear what she said about fate just now? Don't disbelieve it, maybe they really were a couple in their past life."
Wu Sangui: "That's nothing. This is the first time in my life I've heard of fake police officers raiding a nightclub just for a password box."
Xu Lin: "Maybe there are secrets hidden in that password box! Don't underestimate these small password boxes. The things inside may be more valuable than your life or mine."
Wu Sangui: "Then should we go find that Xin Yu and ask him about this?"
Xu Lin: "What the hell are you asking?! I've been asking them over and over again, and they just say it's an empty box. Do you believe me?"
Wu Sangui: "It seems he has decided that we can't find the password box. Very well, I will send a lot of people to capture those fake policemen now. I don't believe that we can't find the password box. Then I will see what Xin Yu has to say."
Suddenly, a police officer ran over and said, "Captain, there are more than a dozen people outside who want to turn themselves in. They say they are the criminals who pretended to be police officers last night."
Wu Sangui: "Oh my god, this is a strange thing! Speak of the devil and he appears. This is the first time I've encountered such a fool who walked into a trap."
Xu Lin: "Come on, if you keep saying this it will only make people think you are ignorant. Let's go and see what they want to say."
It turned out that after they stole the safe that night, their leader was happily thinking of taking the safe to ask for credit and reward. However, when he was in the car, the more he looked at the safe, the more he felt something was wrong, because it was too light, so light that it didn't look like it contained anything, it was just an ordinary empty box.
He shared his doubts with his other accomplices. Each of them weighed the safe and came to the same conclusion.
This conclusion caused the criminals in the car to panic instantly.
"Oh no! Did we make a mistake in the plot or did we miss the target? How did we get back an empty box?"
"No matter what went wrong, if we take this thing back to Michael, I'm afraid we'll be dead soon."
A rather brave fool said, "Don't be afraid, big brother. Maybe this is exactly what Michael wants."
At this time, their leader punched the idiot hard.
"Would you mind your words at this moment? Would you go to such lengths just to get an empty safe?"
Everyone was silent, looking at their leader in unison, hoping that he could give them some advice.
Driver: "Brother, we are almost at the place we agreed to meet Michael. Should we stop or continue to our planned destination?"
The leader stubbed out the cigarette in his mouth with his bare hands and threw it out the car window. He said with a determined heart, "Turn around and go to the city police station."
The driver was so frightened that he immediately stepped on the brakes. Thinking he had misheard, he turned around and asked, "Excuse me, big brother, I couldn't hear you clearly. Where are you going?"
