Just after morning exercises the next day, a man and a woman were waiting for Meng Jiuan by the training ground.
"Lao Meng!" Bai Chuan waved to him enthusiastically.
Meng Jiu'an walked over: "Bo Ling is here."
Wearing a white and blue police uniform, Boling looked dashing and heroic, attracting the attention of many soldiers on the training ground.
She smiled lightly and greeted Meng Jiu'an: "Brother Jiu'an."
This smile made the soldiers unable to move even more. In the past, a group of people would rush to the canteen to grab food as soon as they were dismissed. Today, it was as if their feet were sticky, and they turned around every step of the way.
Bai Chuan was not surprised at all, but was very proud of her. Who said his sister was beautiful?
On the contrary, it was Meng Jiu'an who made him unhappy: "It's really rude. You can't see such a big living person saying hello to you?"
Meng Jiu'an glanced at him and put an arm around him: "I saw it. Is this okay? Is it polite enough and enthusiastic enough?"
A big smell of sweat hit Baichuan's nose, and he struggled hard in Meng Jiuan's strong arms:
"Let...let me go! Ugh——"
Meng Jiu'an pushed him away in disgust. Next to him, Bo Ling was used to the fight between the two of them:
"Brother Jiu'an, I heard from the chief that you were assisting us in the stalking case, so I wanted to come and communicate with you about the current situation."
When it comes to business, Meng Jiuan doesn’t waste a moment:
"Okay, let Bai Chuan take you to the office and sit for a while. I'll change my clothes and come right away!"
After a quarter of an hour, Meng Jiuan returned to the office and went straight to the topic:
"Tell me first, what information do you have about the case now?"
Berlin took out a notebook, which recorded the entire serial case in detail:
"Since the attack on Xiaodao Hutong resident Liu Jinhua on July 11, there have been three victims so far, namely 18-year-old Liu Jinhua, 16-year-old Li Cuicui and 16-year-old Cui Danhong. From this, we analyze that the criminal is a professional Pick young and beautiful girls to attack.”
"The three people were killed in different places, namely Xiaodao Hutong, Tonghua Hutong and Liujia Lane. These three places have different directions. The only thing they have in common is that they are not far from the station."
"After our investigation, we found that they all had one thing in common. They all went to the silk factory on the day they were killed. Liu Jinhua worked at the silk factory, while Li Cuicui and Cui Danhong went to interview temporary workers."
"So, we suspect that the criminal followed the victim from the silk factory back to his residence, waiting for an opportunity to commit a crime."
"Therefore, our police station is currently preparing to focus on the small roads outside the silk factory to strengthen security patrols and interrogate suspicious persons."
Meng Jiu'an pondered for a moment after listening: "Based on what we know so far, it is indeed more likely that criminals will target victims outside the silk factory, and this is also the target that should be focused on at the moment."
"However, I think it is not particularly appropriate to use patrols and investigations outside the silk factory at this time. If we cast a wide net, it is easy to alert the snake."
"First of all, the silk factory is not the first scene of the crime. If the criminals really started following the silk factory, the silk factory workers would go to all directions after get off work. It is impossible for us to cover everything with our manpower."
"Second, by strengthening patrols and inspections outside silk factories, criminals are likely to change their targets. Currently, there are candy factories and fabric factories where there are more female workers. Once criminals change their targets, it will be more difficult for us to trace them."
Bo Ling listened carefully and nodded: "That makes sense. Brother Jiu'an, do you have any good ideas?"
Meng Jiuan's eyes were bright: "I think our tracing method can be changed from passive to active. Since the criminal is hiding and doesn't want to be found, then we should find a way to make him show up proactively."
"Showing up on your own initiative?" Bo Ling was a little confused.
Meng Jiu'an nodded: "You just said that the criminal's target is a young and beautiful girl, so we will give him a bait that he cannot refuse to lure him out."
Bo Ling's eyes lit up: "What a good idea! I can act as the bait, and then wait for the criminal to appear, and then capture him in one fell swoop!"
"no!"
Baichuan's eyebrows and eyes wrinkled: "It's too dangerous! I don't agree!"
He was obviously here to communicate the case, but why did he have to go into battle in person after just a few words!
Bo Ling ignored him at all, and then discussed with Meng Jiu'an:
"Brother Jiu'an, I can pretend to be a female silk factory worker and leave the factory late on purpose to create the illusion that I'm alone. This should make it easier to attract the attention of the gangsters."
Before Meng Jiuan spoke, Baichuan, who was ignored, shouted at a high voice:
"I said I don't agree! There are so many men in the police station and the army who are not good enough to let a little girl put herself in danger. What a shame!"
Bo Ling frowned: "Bai Chuan, I am the deputy director of the Grand Cross Police Station, not the helpless little girl you say. We are discussing the case, please don't interrupt anymore!"
Bai Chuan, who was called by his first name, raised his eyebrows angrily: "What about the deputy director? She is not a weak woman, how can she deal with a man in danger!"
Boling raised his eyelids and looked him up and down: "Can't handle it? Do you want to try?"
"you!"
Seeing how she looked down on him, Bai Chuan became furious. He was worried that his sister was right, but he also knew that he was no match for her.
Boling was an outstanding graduate of the Public Security College and a pentathlete. Unlike him, he had a civilian job in the army.
"Okay, stop saying a few words, business is more important."
Meng Jiu'an thought for a while and felt that there was really no more suitable candidate for this bait than Bo Ling, who was young, beautiful, and capable of self-preservation.
"I agree with Boling's suggestion. In addition to having confidence in Boling's skills, we will also set up ambushes along the way. If there is danger, we will arrest him immediately."
"To put it lightly, your consent does not count!"
It was rare for Bai Chuan to be so disrespectful to Meng Jiu'an: "As her brother, I firmly disagree!"
Meng Jiu'an also darkened his face: "Bai Chuan, we are talking about business now. Please stop interfering with your personal feelings. If you continue to mess around, I will have to ask you to leave first!"
Bai Chuan blushed anxiously: "You are standing and talking without pain in your back. If you let Yu Changle be the bait instead, would you agree?!"
"Brother!" Bo Ling quickly stopped him, but it was already too late.
Meng Jiu looked steadily into Bai Chuan's eyes, with unquestionable firmness in his voice:
"First of all, Yu Changle is not a police officer. She has not received professional training and does not have the corresponding self-protection capabilities."
"Secondly, if the situation requires it, she must be the one to take charge, and I will respect her opinion."
"In the end, no matter whether the person who used the bait is Yu Changle or someone else, I will make the same 100% effort to ensure her safety, and I will never let her be in danger alone."
Meng Jiuan's decisive words left Baichuan speechless. In fact, after he blurted out the words just now, he knew that he had made a mistake.
Now that he knew he couldn't defeat the two of them, he simply got up and left:
"I don't care! It's up to you to do whatever you want!"
