Transmigrated into a female-oriented novel, and put an end to the domineering CEOs all over the city

A few minutes later, a Dongfeng Mengshi truck drove up and stopped on the side of the road.

Lu Jingxiu got out of the car and immediately saw the lone patrol car with its flashing lights at the entrance and the two policemen next to it. He quickly walked over.

"Hello, I am the one who called the police."

The two policemen sized him up: "You said you heard someone calling for help inside the manor? What exactly happened?"

"I received a call for help from a friend," Lu Jingxiu said, his tone very certain. "She said she was being held against her will, right here, a woman, locked up inside."

"Then call her now," the police officer said.

Lu Jingxiu took out his phone and dialed Chu Jin's number.

No one heard.

The police officer glanced at the manor, then looked at Lu Jingxiu: "Are you sure she's inside? She's not answering her phone. Could she have already left, or is busy, or... has some other reason?"

"Confirmed, she's inside."

The police officer was silent for a few seconds, then exchanged a glance with his colleague. Both of them saw difficulty and a hint of hesitation in each other's eyes.

"Young man, let me put it this way, we don't have a search warrant, nor do we have any clear evidence to prove that any illegal activities are taking place on the estate."

The police officer softened his tone and tried to reason with them:

"If you can get through to her on the phone, or receive a written plea for help, even just a text message, we have a reason to go in..."

Lu Jingxiu interrupted him:

"I'm right here, and I've already called the police. If it's a false alarm, you can detain me on the spot, and I'll take full responsibility. My friend is inside now, and we can't reach him by phone. Are you just going to ignore him?"

"What evidence do you want? You won't even go inside, how are you going to find evidence? You're asking me for evidence? Do you think someone would record a video and send it to me after breaking the law?"

The police officer sighed. Why was this young man so stubborn?

He looked at Lu Jingxiu and said earnestly, "Young man, this is private property. Without evidence, we cannot force our way in. You need to understand our work."

He thought for a moment and said, "How about this, we'll record your situation. If you still can't contact your friend by tomorrow, come to the police station again, and we'll open a case for investigation, okay?"

The auxiliary police officer next to him nodded in agreement and added:

"The 110 command center should call you back in a bit. When they do, just tell them what happened and that there was nothing unusual or suspicious at the scene. There is no evidence. They will then transfer the case to our local police for follow-up."

Lu Jingxiu shook his head.

If Chu Jin relies on these people, she'll really only be able to play the role of someone who falls in love after marriage tonight.

"No, I will tell the command center the truth: the report is true, the person involved is missing, but the police officers on the scene are unwilling to enter the manor to verify, that's all," he said coldly.

"Young man, what do you mean by this? We're just following procedure!" The police officer frowned, his temper rising.

He thought the young man was being completely unreasonable and was about to give him a good talking-to.

Just then, the sound of police sirens grew louder as they approached.

Soon, three police cars with flashing lights and sirens blaring arrived at the manor gate.

The car door was opened, and eleven fully armed police officers quickly got out.

As soon as they got out of the car, they were attracted by a fellow officer with flashing police lights at the entrance. The middle-aged police officer leading the team turned on his body camera and led the group toward them.

The two police officers from the local station exchanged a glance.

What's going on?

Why are there three more police cars? And they don't seem to know each other.

Wang Yan, who was leading the team, saluted and looked at the two police officers from the local police station: "Hello, I'm Wang Yan, the captain of the Criminal Investigation Team of the Minghai Branch. Which station are you from?"

"Hello, Captain Wang, we are from Cheng'an Road Police Station..." The police officer returned the greeting.

"What's the situation here?" Wang Yan asked.

"Captain Wang, we received a report and came to check. We haven't gone in yet; we'd like to understand the situation first," the police officer from the station replied.

"Get to the bottom of things?" Wang Yan glanced at the four bodyguards in black at the door, then at the two men, and frowned. "Getting to the bottom of things means just standing at the door and waiting?"

He didn't say anything more, only that, "Okay, the branch office's criminal investigation team has taken over this case. You can go back now. We'll contact you again if we need your cooperation later."

The two police officers at the police station exchanged a glance, both seeing surprise and doubt in each other's eyes.

What happened? How did this case get so close to the criminal investigation team of the precinct?

The criminal investigation team is responsible for criminal cases, and their approach to handling cases is completely different from that of the local police station.

The cases that they can directly take on are basically the tough ones that are written into the year-end summary and make the leaders slam their fists on the table.

Is there really a problem here?

The way they dawdled outside, hesitant to go in, meant they completely missed their chance to make a contribution.

The criminal investigation team just snatched the case away from right under their noses?

If I go back like this, won't the station chief give me a real dressing down?

It's not that they can't handle big cases, but that they can't discover them.

Most of the cases handled by the police station are quite simple, and the reasons are quite practical.

Because clues to major cases are often targeted by specialized teams from the branch office, such as criminal investigation, public security, and economic crime investigation, even at the discovery stage.

They waste all their time on petty squabbles among neighbors, so how could they possibly have time to dig up clues?

This means that if you're quick, you get it; if you're slow, you don't.

Whoever uses this clue first and uncovers a new case will truly get the credit!

For example, if someone with a history of drug use comes to the area, his neighborhood will become quite lively.

People from the local police station will come and ask around, then people from the public security brigade will come and ask around, then people from the criminal investigation brigade will come and ask around, then people from the narcotics control brigade will come and ask around, then special patrol police will come and ask around, then community grid workers will come and ask around...

...Anyway, whether there are any good results or not, let's just try our luck first.

What if he relapses? What if this guy gets desperate and decides to become a seller himself? What if this guy comes up with some other dangerous new idea?

In short, whoever seizes the clues first can take substantive action the fastest, and whoever takes the initiative first will have the "right to handle" the case.

So it's not that police officers at local police stations can't handle big cases, it's that they simply don't have the chance to encounter them.

Even if they encounter a major case that their police station cannot handle and they need support from higher authorities, it doesn't matter.

Because in the joint case-handling mechanism, the departments that provide key clues or handle preliminary matters will be counted as collaborating units in the final results statistics.

Although the lion's share of the credit will be taken by others, some of the soup in this pot should still be sent to the police station.

If you perform exceptionally well, you might catch the eye of some leader and be transferred to a branch office or even the municipal office.

Now, a major case that could alarm the head of the criminal investigation team of the branch office was pushed out by the two of them on the grounds of "no evidence" and "difficult to get in".

It felt like the 110 command center dumped an SSR-level mission into their hands, and they didn't even look at it before casually handing it over to another team.

Then their director and all their teammates were still waiting expectantly for them to discover some SSR quest...

Wang Yan glanced at the constantly changing faces of the two police officers from the police station and barely managed to suppress the urge to smile.

He cleared his throat, turned to Lu Jingxiu, and deliberately changed his form of address: "Comrade Lu, you're the one who called the police, so come with us too."

In front of his colleagues, he chose to pretend that he had no idea who the person who called the police was.

Letting the secretary's son witness firsthand his decisive leadership and professional competence is more effective than any report.

After saying that, he completely ignored the two police officers who were frozen in place, waved his hand behind him, and led ten fully armed team members toward the manor gate.

The two police officers from the local station looked at their lonely little police car, then looked up at the eleven fully armed colleagues opposite them.

Suddenly, I felt like I was in a dungeon raid group, while my teammates were still outside the door debating whether to go in, and the full raid group from the guild next door had already pulled the mobs and started the boss fight.

After a long pause, the auxiliary police officer driving finally managed to squeeze out, "...What do we do?"

The police officer sighed and resignedly pulled out his phone: "What else can we do? Call Chief Ding to report. We're in for a scolding tonight."
