Chapter 193 Trainee Detective 31
"Don't just stand there! Quickly, get this comrade out of the water too!"
The man holding the fishing rod shouted as he handed the rod to Xiang Ke.
As he watched this person being pulled out of the river, he lovingly touched his fishing rod, thinking that this thing could be used as a family heirloom, a golden rod of merit!
"Quick, quick, put on some clothes to warm up." Seeing the two of them looking like frostbitten children, the two older women quickly took off their cotton-padded coats and put them on the two of them.
Ling Yi, shivering in her clothes, burst out laughing when she saw Xiang Ke's cold face and his appearance in women's clothing.
To be honest, Director Xiang looked quite disheveled.
Xiang Ke pursed his lips, gave Ling Yi an unfriendly look, and stood upwind to block the wind.
That made everyone laugh again.
Whether intentionally or not, everyone seems to have forgotten the first person to jump into the river.
Lan Wei lay on the ground, her body temperature gradually fading as the cold ground and howling wind blew against her. She thought she was really about to die.
Why aren't they helping her? Aren't those two police officers? Are they just going to let her freeze to death?!
She struggled desperately, trying to grab someone's wrist to beg for a piece of clothing.
She didn't want to die.
The older woman, who was being held, seemed not to feel the force, and not only moved a step to the side, but also stepped on Lan Wei's hand.
Ah!
Lan Wei let out a wail that no one could hear; her older sister's high heels were quite sharp.
Seeing that someone was about to pour them brown sugar water from a thermos, Ling Yi quickly interrupted the overly lively process and threw her coat onto Lan Wei to prevent her from dying of hypothermia.
She glanced apologetically at the older woman who was not only recording a video but also handing her clothes to her: "When the police come later, I might need you to act as my witness."
The eldest sister glanced at Lan Wei lying on the ground and said sarcastically, "Don't worry, we're not ungrateful beasts who twist the truth. You did such a good deed, you can't let this little beast wrong you!"
A car with flashing police lights drove to the riverbank, where several police officers who had received the report saw two colleagues dressed in women's clothing standing by the river, one of whom was wearing a white shirt.
Even if you can't see the epaulets clearly, just salute.
Xiang Ke, dressed in women's clothing, awkwardly returned the greeting. Ling Yi, standing to the side, said with a wry smile, "Why don't you send us both back to our bureau? I still have two sets of spare clothes, and I need to tell our leader about this."
The police officer paused, then asked, "Is there anything else?"
He thought this was just an ordinary act of bravery, and that the person who jumped into the water would present a banner and the bureau would set up a benchmark, and that would be the end of it. Why do you have to report to your superiors when you do a good deed now?
Does your boss think you can't do it?
"Officer, you have no idea..."
Before Ling Yi could even speak, the kind-hearted woman next to her took over and gave Lan Wei a second round of punishment.
As Ling Yi wrapped her clothes around herself and walked toward the police car, she said, "Notify her parents to come over."
"What are you doing!" Lan Wei, who had been standing there like a wooden statue, finally snapped out of it: "I'm an adult, don't tell my parents about everything!"
Ling Yi ignored her and said directly, "We arrested her before when our bureau was making arrests. She was a student who hadn't graduated yet. We can notify her parents to come and check on her mental health."
At the time, because Lan Wei had no cases against her and pleaded repeatedly, the bureau did not do anything extra.
Now that this whole sequence of events—from jumping into the river to kicking a policeman—has gone on, the parents definitely need to be notified.
To deal with a love-struck, stupid, and toxic child, the best approach is for parents to use strong pressure.
Of course, if her parents don't beat her severely enough, netizens and people around her will probably help her beat her too.
Ling Yi never doubted the terrifying power of the internet. The information she had just revealed was enough for those who had been following her to imagine a spectacular drama, enough to give Lan Wei a hard time.
Police officers have a duty to protect the public, but that doesn't mean they have to be saints made of clay, swallowing their pride and suffering in silence.
Of course, she also welcomed Lan Wei to report the incident to the police station after being subjected to cyberbullying; she would definitely…
Oh, I forgot, this kind of minor case won't reach their criminal investigation team. She can go play somewhere else.
Lan Wei was completely flustered and had no idea what Ling Yi was thinking.
Or perhaps when she's not flustered, her walnut-sized brain doesn't even register it.
At this moment, the pretty girl first begged pitifully, then threatened when that failed, or even acted unreasonably; none of these tactics could possibly evoke the police officer's sympathy.
Just as people who lose their phones always encounter police officers who don't care, which police officer hasn't encountered unreasonable and troublesome people?
This is no longer just being unreasonable; it's about taking lives. How could the police officers, who are deeply empathetic, be moved by her tears?
To be honest, her quiet sobbing was nowhere near as bad as the old lady who would casually take off her clothes in the lobby and claim that the police were going to rape her; she couldn't even break through her defenses.
So when Lan Wei was taken to the branch office, she met her parents who were already there anxiously waiting.
Lan Wei's parents were ordinary wage earners; apart from being a little better looking than average, they had no other distinguishing features.
The couple, who had just returned home after a busy day and were resting, were devastated when they received the phone call. They had no idea why their daughter, who had supposedly found a job at a dance studio, had jumped into the river, nor did they know what had happened to her.
Their eyes were only on their daughter. When they saw her walking in, looking pitiful, wrapped in someone else's coat, they rushed over and hugged her: "Weiwei, are you alright!"
When Lan Wei saw her parents, she buried her face in their arms and cried, as if she had suffered some great injustice.
Ling Yi went to change her clothes, while Xiang Ke was stopped by a male detective who had been working all night. He was given his own clothes and told to change.
In this room, there was only Captain Shi, who was half-asleep on a cot when he was dragged out of bed, the two older women who were testifying, the police who brought people over, and Lan Wei's family.
The police officers naturally couldn't say anything to the bystanders, but when the older woman saw Lan Wei crying like that, she rolled her eyes without any attempt to hide it: "Crying, crying, crying, you still have the nerve to cry? You almost killed that police officer, do you know that?"
Lan Wei's father was taken aback, then said gently, "It was wrong of her to jump into the river after experiencing a setback; it's also a psychological issue. You..."
The older sister waved her hand dismissively: "Pah, did I say that?"
"Everyone has their share of misfortunes. If someone does something rash and jumps into a river, who will say anything? But what about your little beast?"
Her blunt words made Mr. Lan's face turn ugly.
The moment she recounted Lan Wei's actions, Lan's father's expression went beyond just looking ugly.
