“I’m not important.
What’s important is if you don’t obey and continue to pull the trigger with your finger, I’ll definitely blow your head off first,” Ye Tian lifted his right hand from the steering wheel, shaking it in the air, “There’s a meter distance between the backseat and me, your gun is sixty centimeters long, and you’ve placed it horizontally on your lap.
From lifting the gun to aiming, there’s a 270-degree arc angle to adjust.
I assure you, I’ll be faster!”
As soon as his words fell, White Beard only felt darkness before his eyes before losing consciousness.
Ye Tian took the hunting rifle, which had been raised halfway, from his hand, muttering under his breath, “I told you I’d be quicker, why couldn’t you be good.”
When Tang Su woke up, she found herself already in the hospital.
The person lying on the bed beside her was Ye Tian, still unconscious.
From the nurse, Tang Su learned that they were brought to the hospital by the police together, and both were unconscious upon arrival, especially Ye Tian, who was talking nonsense— the doctors said it was due to severe shock.
Tang Su was astonished to find out it had been the third day since the robbery occurred.
The hospital room was silent.
Tang Su glanced at Ye Tian who was still sleeping, softly cursed “good for nothing,” yet her mind recalled the scene where Ye Tian had bravely stepped forward: when the robber asked if he stood up for her, he nodded firmly.
Even though his excuse was that he was a police officer, which was absurdly ridiculous, it still warmed Tang Su’s heart.
“The patient just woke up and is still very weak.
Don’t ask too many questions.”
Outside the room was the voice of a nurse.
As soon as she spoke, Tang Su saw a few people in police uniforms enter, presumably to question her.
“Hello, I’m Song Qian from the Criminal Police Team, this is Liu Jie, this is Sun Jian.
We have a few questions to ask you, we hope you can cooperate.”
Tang Su nodded; she would definitely cooperate.
The police hadn’t spared her nightclub from their inspections, and she had always cooperated willingly.
Seeing Tang Su struggle a bit, Song Qian went over to help raise the bed and put a pillow behind her back.
Women always understand women best.
From the first time she saw Song Qian, Tang Su felt a liking for this woman.
It was a mutual appreciation between strong women.
Tang Su, a frail woman, ran one of the top three nightclubs in Huaizhou City, while the short-haired pretty woman in front of her also seemed very strong-willed.
“Thank you.” Tang Su leaned against the pillow, her body still weak, with a bit of a headache at the back of her skull.
“How is it?
Does your head still hurt?” Song Qian asked, noting that her complexion didn’t look very good.
Tang Su shook her head, “It’s nothing serious.
Go ahead and ask your questions.”
Song Qian nodded, while the two men beside her started a recorder and spread out a file folder, taking out a pen.
“Miss Tang, can you describe the situation at the time?”
“Okay, at that time, I…”
A series of standard questions.
There were twenty-two people present at the scene.
Excluding the bank staff, there were
nineteen clients left.
Song Qian had been turning for two days straight; she personally took statements from nineteen people, not wanting to miss any details.
Her strong sense of responsibility kept her from slackening, and being a female police captain in this role brought her considerable pressure under the scrutiny of others.
Song Qian listened carefully to Tang Su, occasionally pointing on her notebook, signaling her colleagues to write something down or to circle certain words or phrases that seemed important.
After nineteen people over two days, she wasn’t annoyed, but the two big men beside her were starting to be.
“And then, I ended up here.”
“Here, Miss Tang, have some water.” Song Qian handed her a cup of cooled boiled water, then asked, “Did you get a clear look at White Beard’s face or any distinctive features, like scars or moles?”
Tang Su took a sip of water, thought for a moment, then shook her head, “No.
He was wearing long sleeves and trousers, and even a scarf.
He was even wearing gloves on his hands.”
Tang Su nodded, “I see.
Well, thank you, Miss Tang.
You should rest early; we won’t bother you anymore.”
“No problem, it’s my duty.”
Finally, it was over.
Sun Jian and Liu Jie stretched lazily, feeling exhausted.
“Miss Tang, do you know him?” As she was about to leave, Song Qian saw Ye Tian on the other bed and asked.
“Of course, I know him.
That’s Ye Tian.”
Song Qian was taken aback.
It was Ye Tian.
Equally stunned were the two men beside Song Qian; the person who had been facing away from the camera had finally shown his true face here.
“Oh, I see.
Rest early, Miss Tang.
We won’t bother you anymore.”
“Goodbye.”
As Tang Su watched Song Qian and the others leave, she turned her head to look at Ye Tian, still with that cleanly shaved, handsome face—Who are you really?
“Alright, today’s meeting is primarily to summarize the lessons learned from the ‘6·28 Bank Robbery Case’.
I believe everyone has read the directives from the province.
If you have any opinions, feel free to share them.
All thoughts are in the best interest of the case; don’t hold back, let’s speak freely.”
In the meeting room of the Huaizhou City Public Security Bureau, a seminar on the “6·28 Bank Robbery” was being held.
Despite the stifling atmosphere in the room and the warm words from the bureau chief, everyone was well aware not to be naively frank, as “speak freely” could essentially be interpreted as an invitation to “keep quiet” in the bureaucratic field.
Liu Jinde, Director Liu of the city bureau, with his standard square face and full, rounded forehead, fair skin, and impeccably maintained middle-aged appearance, wearing a pair of tea-colored glasses, looked both dignified and erudite.
“Why is no one speaking?
What are you afraid of?
Since it’s our case, naturally, we have the final say.
The higher-ups have emphasized repeatedly that case handling authority should be liberalized, which means…
we need to work together and be more proactive.
Why is everyone silent now?
Deputy Director Gong, say a couple of words.”
Deputy Director Gong, a middle-aged man with a balding pate disgustedly marked by pimples, began speaking, “If you ask me, although some results have been achieved in this operation, we are all aware of the outcome.
As of now, a suspect is still at large, which poses a significant threat to the social order of Huaizhou City and is also a major challenge in building a harmonious society.
Only by uniting under the call of the Party can we establish the harmonious society we envision.”
A round of warm applause then filled the room, imbued with a harmonious atmosphere.
