Chapter 39: Masters Come from the Ordinary (1/2)
– Crime Department, Drug Squad –
The dude that had been stopped by Xu Cheng when he was driving while under the influence of cocaine was currently detained in the interrogation room. In front of him sat the calm and beautiful Ran Jing, who had a serious expression on her face.
“The substance level inside your body had seriously exceeded the limit, so just cooperate with us. Where did you get your stuff from? We identified you as being part of East Gate; are you guys involved in drug smuggling and trafficking? If you confess honestly, we will take it under consideration and lower your sentence.”
The drug user in front of her smirked and smiled, “Hey Officer Ran, you don’t need to scare me. I know the law. I’m just in here because I did drugs, and I wasn’t caught selling it to others or making it, so could it be that you will still give me a death sentence? Don’t be like this, I know you guys have been eyeing me for a long time now, but I’m not stupid.”
Ran Jing saw how fearless he was, and her pink fists slammed onto the table.
“Do you believe that you can be taken in for life?” Ran Jing threatened.
The drug user snorted, “Are you threatening me? I have a lawyer, you know? I’m probably just going to be in prison for at most a year or two and then I will be out, I don’t really care.”
After speaking, the drug user directly stood up and walked out from the interrogation room.
Ran Jing gritted her teeth as she stood there. Not long after, her deputy came over and said, “Now that the people from black society all know the law, they aren’t easy to scare anymore.”
Ran Jing sneered and didn’t say a thing.
Just then, her supervisor came in and patted her on the shoulders. “Take it easy, there’s no rush. We didn’t transfer you over to take care of East Gate at once. It’s going to be difficult dealing with this big fish, so we must do it step by step.
Ran Jing nodded and immediately said to her deputy, “Don’t let this guy go or he might give warnings to his accomplices. Before the smuggling case of East Gate is settled, he’s staying here.”
The Deputy Captain: “Got it.”
Ran Jing continued to ask, “Oh right, at the scene of the arrest, you guys mentioned that it was a colleague of another department that saved the kids and arrested the guy. Do you know who he is?”
“I think it’s a colleague from the Riverside police station, his name is Xu Cheng.”
“Him?”
The Deputy Cap: “Cap, you know him?”
Know him? I’m even rooming with him… Ran Jing muttered in her heart.
“Yeah, I think I’ve met him before.”
“Cap, did you watch the surveillance footage we retrieved from the scene?” The deputy captain was a bit interested as he brought it up to Ran Jing.
“What’s there to see?” Ran Jing said carelessly.
“All the other colleagues found it more and more shocking and strange the more they looked at it,” the deputy captain sighed and said.
“Strange?” Ran Jing blinked a few times and said in curiosity, “Let’s go, let me check it out.”
The deputy cap then led Ran Jing to an office and said to a colleague, “Show that strange clip to Captain.”
One of the colleagues working on filing immediately opened a video file and played it.
Ran Jing looked at the surveillance video at the crossroads. The drug user’s sedan took a sharp turn while running a red light and was about to hit a group of elementary school students that were crossing the sidewalk. Then in the video, Xu Cheng pushed away his motorcycle, ran over, and picked up the two kids that were about to get run over by the car.
