Chapter 400: 147, Chen Shanhe’s Heaven and Earth Net! Lin Mo fell into the trap!_5
The video starts with a tourist recording their daily activities; from the tone, it seems to be a vlogger who specializes in travel vlogs and just happened to capture Wang Qianqian by the roadside.
In the video, Wang Qianqian walked along, and a toy she was holding accidentally fell to the ground and rolled onto the road.
Seeing this scene, even though he knew his daughter was ultimately fine, Wang Jianming’s heart still involuntarily tightened.
He had been a traffic police officer long ago and had seen many similar traffic accidents.
At that moment,
a truck carrying goods passed by; although it was driving slowly without any traffic violations or speeding, the driver did not notice Wang Qianqian by the roadside due to a blind spot.
Wang Jianming’s heart clenched, and through the screen, he wanted to tell his daughter to stop and come back.
Fortunately, just in the nick of time, a man dressed in sportswear rushed out, shielding his daughter from harm. However, he also got grazed by the truck and seemed to have sustained some minor injuries.
Afterwards, the truck driver got out to offer compensation, but the other party didn’t want it. In the end, it seemed they were in a hurry and symbolically took two hundred yuan.
After watching the video, Wang Jianming’s heart was about to leap out of his throat, and he scolded his daughter, “Qianqian, how could you be so careless? It’s too dangerous, didn’t daddy tell you? The road is very dangerous!”
Wang Qianqian lowered her head, too aggrieved to speak.
Police officer Sun Mingtao who was nearby tried to comfort her, saying, “Chief Wang, don’t be harsh on the child. She was just trying to be filial, so young yet already knowing to buy medicine for grandma. The little sister was really good, and she didn’t cry or fuss on the way.”
“Right, Chief Wang, since you’re on duty here, would you like me to take the child to your home or to your wife?”
Wang Jianming’s father had died early, leaving just his sick mother at home who struggled to take care of herself, let alone a child.
His wife was also a police officer, currently on duty at the airport, and she definitely couldn’t spare the time to care for the child either.
Normally, he and his wife could stagger their vacations, and grandma was able to help with the child, so there usually wasn’t a problem at home.
But just last night a major homicide occurred, and as police officers, the couple could only temporarily leave their sick mother and daughter to go to their respective posts.
There’s no such thing as peaceful years; it’s just someone else carrying the weight and moving forward.
“Forget it, her mother definitely can’t get away either. Just leave her with me for now, let her sit in the police car, I’ll keep an eye on her.” Wang Jianming, thinking of the kind-hearted citizen from the video, asked, “Comrade Sun, do you have contact information for the person who saved my daughter? I want to thank him.”
If it hadn’t been for that kind citizen, his daughter would have at least been injured today.
And if that had happened, their family’s world would truly have collapsed.
What were he and his wife striving for, if not for their daughter?
Sun Mingtao shook his head, troubled, and said, “I asked him several times, but he didn’t want to leave his name. How about I inquire for you? Judging by the sportswear, he’s probably a local resident out for morning exercise. I’ll review the surveillance footage, and I can definitely find him.”
Wang Jianming nodded, “Hmm, that would be great, I appreciate it.”
Sun Mingtao looked at the busy police officers nearby and sighed, “You criminal detectives really have it tough. With such a big case, the pressure from above must be great. For us traffic cops to be able to lend a hand is an honor.”
“Right, Chief Wang, I heard the criminal’s composite sketch has been released?”
“Who could be so brazen to commit murder and dare to discard the dismembered body at the doorstep of Six Fan Gate?”
This wasn’t really a secret; in fact, if it wasn’t for concern about the impact of the case, an arrest warrant would have been issued by now.
Moreover, the one asking was a traffic police officer, also part of the police force, so it didn’t amount to leaking confidential information.
“Yes, the forensic artist, based on the description of the Six Fan Gate duty officers that night, has sketched out the criminal’s general features. It should be sent over to your traffic department shortly.” Wang Jianming took out his phone and found the pencil sketch of the criminal, saying, “He looks roughly like this. Keep an eye out for him when you’re on duty.”
“However, the duty officers that night didn’t get a clear look, and the surveillance cameras only caught a blurry figure.”
Traffic police officer Sun Mingtao curiously looked at the phone screen.
It depicted a male around 30 years old, with a round face, no noticeable birthmarks or other scars, and some key information provided by the sketch artist below.
[Male, height 175-178 cm, age 30-35 years old, round face, short eyebrows, medium-short hair, wore a blue jacket and dark pants while fleeing…]
Sun Mingtao helplessly shook his head and said, “With so little information, it’s not easy to find. It’s too vague.”
“It’s difficult, but we have to try, that’s what we do.” Wang Jianming put away his phone.
“Alright, I’ll go back to my duties. If I come across anything suspicious, I’ll contact you.” Sun Mingtao saluted and drove back to his duty area.
As he watched him leave, Wang Jianming looked at his daughter. He wanted to scold her again but then felt that the blame wasn’t on her, but rather on himself.
If he wasn’t so busy, how would his daughter end up running out to buy medicine alone, worried about her grandmother’s illness?
“Ah…”
If there’s anyone to blame, it’s that criminal!
For committing such a heinous crime!
Wang Jianming sighed, took his daughter’s hand, and walked over to his police car. He instructed, “Qianqian, daddy has to catch bad guys. Can you wait in the police car for a little while? I will have your uncle come to pick you up later.”
