"Whether it's useful or not, let's call the police first," Lin Xiao suggested.
"Brother, how do we call the police? Is it like in China, dialing 110?" Xiao Hao looked at Wei Changfeng, who in turn looked at Zhao Hui.
Seeing that Wei Changfeng didn't answer, Xiao Hao continued, "Brother, you've been abroad so many times, don't you know how to call the police in foreign countries?"
Wei Changfeng said, "Isn't that obvious? I've been abroad many times and never encountered any thieves or robbers. Besides, there are always three or five of you following me, not letting me do anything."
Xiaomin asked Zhao Hui, "Brother Zhao, you know about this, right?"
Zhao Hui said, "Let me check. Luckily, my phone wasn't in my bag, it was in my pocket." As he spoke, he reached into his pocket to take out his phone.
Lin Xiao watched from the side, utterly speechless. It turned out that none of the four people understood.
Before he could even check his phone, Zhao Hui suddenly looked up as if he'd remembered something and asked, "French police officers all speak English, right? We don't speak French."
"How about we contact the translator the brand assigned to us the day before yesterday?" Xiao Hao offered a helpful suggestion.
Zhao Hui was also worried about this. He had no problem with his English for everyday situations, but he was unsure whether he could handle the details when reporting a crime. He was even more unsure about the English proficiency of the French police officers.
Lin Xiao looked at the four people staring at each other, then picked up his phone and dialed the police.
She already had a French SIM card on her phone, and when she spoke in French, "bonjour" and "excusez-moi," the people opposite her stared wide-eyed, as if they were saved.
Hearing Lin Xiao speak fluent French on the phone, Wei Changfeng, though unable to understand a word, still secretly admired him.
Which writer said French is the most beautiful language in the world? The girl's French does sound very beautiful.
After hanging up the phone, Lin Xiao told everyone that the police said they needed to go to the nearby police station to file a report, and that they had given her the address, and that she could accompany them.
"Aren't they going to come and scout the scene? Are they just letting us go straight there?" Xiao Hao wondered.
Lin Xiao laughed: "There are many theft cases in France, especially in tourist cities like Paris. There are probably 'crimes' everywhere, and it's impossible to investigate them all. Let's go over there if the police tell us to."
Wei Changfeng asked with great curiosity, "So you speak French? You speak it very well."
"Brother, you can't understand a word, how do you know if what they're saying is good or not?" Xiao Hao seemed to be in charge of undermining his brother.
Wei Changfeng slapped him on the head and said, "I don't know, but you do, okay?"
Lin Xiao then spoke up: "I know a little French, but I'm not very fluent. Do you think we should contact your translator? It will probably take her some time to get here."
Timeliness is very important in these kinds of theft cases. My suggestion is that we go to the police station to report it first.
I've heard that French police stations also have assistants who can help translate various languages; if needed, they should be able to find someone who speaks Chinese.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing Lin Xiao's words.
However, the group disagreed on whether to contact the brand's translator to inform them of what had happened that day.
Wei Changfeng felt a bit embarrassed, and Zhao Hui also believed that if they could handle it themselves, they should try not to alarm the brand, so as not to leave a bad impression on them.
After all, this collaboration is very important, as it is the first business partnership between the two parties.
Xiao Hao and Xiao Min thought that with French people and companies backing them up, wouldn't the police pay more attention? And wouldn't the chances of recovering the stolen goods be greater?
After discussing it, everyone decided to go to the police station and see how things went. If everything went smoothly, they would not notify the brand again.
It's getting late, and the translator might not arrive until midnight.
With the help of Lin Xiao and the phone's navigation, the group headed towards the nearby police station.
