Reborn in the 60s, I hunt to support my family and even seduce the village beauty.
Chapter 383 has a clue
"Don't be discouraged. If we arrest a few more people, we might get some leads."
Chang Kun took out the washed tomatoes and distributed them to the group.
Hou Jun's eyes lit up: "Junior brother, where did you buy these? My wife went to the market before dawn, but I didn't see any tomatoes for sale."
After receiving the tomatoes, the others were reluctant to eat them and carefully wrapped them in a newspaper.
"A friend gave it to me. I still have some if you want to eat it."
Hou Jun quickly refused, saying, "This is a rare treat. It would be great if we could even get one to taste it. You have many young girls at home, so you should take it home and eat it yourself."
Chang Kun glanced at the hundreds of tomatoes in the space and said nothing.
It's fine to give one to others to try, but if you give them too much, they won't feel indebted to you, and you won't feel good about it either.
Old Zeng sniffed the fresh aroma of the tomatoes and sighed, "This one tomato is enough to make a dish for dinner tonight."
Xiao Yu chuckled, "I'll give these tomatoes to my girlfriend when I go to see her after get off work."
"I've discovered that you'll be henpecked, Xiao Yu. You're nothing like a typical Beijing man," Hou Jun said with a hint of disdain.
Xiao Yu didn't care and turned to tease Hou Jun: "Brother Monkey, you're just like me. You treat your little daughter the same way."
"Hmph, how can that be the same? Of course, a daughter is more important than a wife!"
"I wonder if I'll have a son or a daughter in the future. Seeing that you all have daughters, I think I'll have a son instead, hehe..." Xiao Yu thought to herself.
"Holy crap! You, Xiao Yu, still dare to have ulterior motives!"
Lu Jiawei watched the others laughing and joking, and had no interest in saying anything.
Yesterday he said that if he couldn't find that girl, he wouldn't look for a partner anymore, and he wasn't joking.
At this moment, he felt increasingly depressed and lost all interest in joking or laughing.
Seeing Lü Jiawei like this, the office gradually quieted down.
Old Zeng patted him on the shoulder: "Apprentice, if you want to be a good policeman, the first thing you need to do is adjust your mindset. If you make a mistake this time and become discouraged, how will you catch thieves in the future?"
Hou Jun stepped forward and put his arm around Xiao Lü's shoulder: "Don't worry, Xiao Lü, with Chang Kun here, this matter will be resolved."
Lu Jiawei, sporting dark circles under his eyes, stared intently at Chang Kun.
"It's all up to you, Chang Kun. I can't sleep or eat without finding the little girl."
"Relax, this will pass. We won't give up. You have to cheer up."
Lu Jiawei nodded sullenly. He had arrested eight people that morning but hadn't gotten any leads, and he was very anxious.
"Let's eat first. You'll have the energy to work!"
Old Zeng slapped Xiao Lü on the head, sounding exasperated: "Look at you, what kind of person can you possibly be in the future?"
"If you make a mistake, try your best to correct it. What kind of man are you, hanging your head like that!"
After being scolded a few times, Lü Jiawei remained silent, turned around and left the office, heading directly towards the platform.
"Uncle Zeng, don't be angry. Xiao Lü is really upset about this, and he's a bit obsessed now." Chang Kun said as he chased after Xiao Lü.
Hou Jun and Xiao Yu followed behind. Although they often teased each other in the office, they were all comrades who could support each other in times of crisis.
"Xiao Lü, this can't be rushed," Chang Kun said, catching up with Lü Jiawei. "Even if we can't find the traffickers at the station, as long as we're still in Beijing, they'll eventually slip up."
With the system at our disposal, we can simply go door-to-door and arrest more criminals; we'll eventually find some clues.
Hou Jun and Xiao Yu also ran over to persuade him. The four of them squatted down by the platform and smoked a cigarette. Xiao Lü finally regained some of his spirits.
"I'm skipping lunch and just having a peach to tide me over."
Chang Kun took out four peaches from his bag. The wild peaches had grown exceptionally well after being cultivated in the space, almost as big as the giant flat peaches.
"Junior brother, I've noticed that there's always something delicious in your bag." Hou Jun looked at Chang Kun's bag with a hint of envy.
Chang Kun patted his bag: "Of course, I used to be afraid of being hungry, so I wouldn't feel at ease without packing some food in my bag."
Each person ate a large peach and was already half full, so they didn't think about going back to the cafeteria for a meal.
"Tell me, what are these human traffickers thinking? So many families are starving, what would they do with children they've taken in?"
Lu Jiawei hated human traffickers with a passion, yet he couldn't understand why they did such things.
"Break their hands and feet, blind them, make them beg for food and money, or sell them to reactionary organizations to train them to be spies... As long as the child has good looks, they can always be sold for a good price."
Hearing Chang Kun say this, Xiao Lü, Xiao Yu, and Hou Jun's faces darkened, and they gritted their teeth, wishing they could catch the human traffickers immediately.
They had been police officers for several years and had never encountered such a heinous case.
"Chang Kun, let's go catch some more people!" Just thinking about the misfortune that the little girl might suffer made Lü Jiawei feel like he couldn't breathe.
"Let's go!" Hou Jun and Xiao Yu felt that the peaches in their hands were no longer sweet, and it was more important to catch the human traffickers as soon as possible.
"Let's check how many thieves there are first. If there are, we'll go back and call for help."
In just one morning, eight criminals were arrested, and everyone in the department was busy.
If we arrest a few more people, the interrogation room probably won't be able to hold them all.
The four arrived at the platform, and from a distance, Chang Kun sensed a thief picking someone's bag.
"Xiao Lü, over there, that skinny guy who looks like a monkey, did you see his hands?"
Chang Kun pointed to the thief committing the crime in front of him and showed it to Lü Jiawei.
"It really is! He's as skinny as a monkey!" Hou Jun, with his sharpest eyes, immediately noticed the man's disheveled hands and feet. "I'll go arrest him!"
Chang Kun stopped him, saying, "Brother Monkey, let Xiao Lü go."
At this point, we need to find more things for Xiao Lü to do, so that he won't keep dwelling on his regrets.
Hou Jun nodded: "Alright, otherwise it wouldn't look good if Brother Monkey caught Skinny Monkey."
Chang Kun and Xiao Yu chuckled, but Lü Jiawei had no interest in listening to Hou Jun's jokes and rushed to the thief.
With a few quick movements, the thief was pinned to the ground.
"Ouch, officer, be gentle!" The thief cried out in pain, his face pressed against the ground and his arm wrapped behind his back.
The passengers around cheered, especially the passenger who was almost robbed, who took advantage of the thief being knocked down and kicked him twice.
"Thank you, officer. If it weren't for you, my family would have no food to eat this winter, and we would have starved to death!"
The passenger bowed deeply to Lü Jiawei.
Waving to the passenger, Lü Jiawei said in a low voice, "This is what the police should do."
Distracted by this incident, he finally regained some of his spirits. As a police officer, he felt he had to do something for the people.
Hou Jun and Xiao Yu stepped forward to disperse the crowd of onlookers. When they reached Lü Jiawei's side, they were surprised to see him looking so excited.
"Chang Kun, Monkey King, Xiao Yu, we have a lead on human traffickers!"
Chang Kun stepped forward and was also somewhat surprised to hear this.
Lu Jiawei slapped the skinny thief on the head hard: "This guy says he's seen human traffickers!"
