Detective: Open your eyes, I am handcuffed in the interrogation room

Chen Yi pulled Fang Shuyu to stand a little further away, and the two of them stopped and looked at the black tower in front of them.

When the lake breeze blows, you can even vaguely see the tower shaking, which indeed gives people the illusion that it will collapse at any time.

Maybe... it's not an illusion.

"Fan Lei, I don't think you need to demolish this tower. It will fall down soon."

With that said, Chen Yi and Fang Shuyu moved farther away again.

Jiang Fanlei grinned: "I thought, it's shaking every day, but it doesn't fall down. Do you think it's annoying? I can save a lot of money if I fall down."

Hearing this, Chen Yichang gave Jiang Fanlei a thumbs up: "You are so short of money and you just donated 500,000 yuan to the welfare home. I think you are very manly."

It's not a joke, it's true.

Jiang Fanlei: "That's necessary. Did you see it now?"

"You have enough time to make money back, but you can't wait to do good things... Uh, what's the sound?"

Halfway through his words, he turned his head sharply and looked at the black tower in front of him.

Chen Yi frowned slightly: "I also heard the voices. Is there anyone in the tower?"

Jiang Fanlei: "It's impossible. This place has been abandoned for many years. How could there be anyone..."

Speaking of this, he suddenly remembered that he had just seen the doll, and his face suddenly became ugly.

"Chen Yi, there's no crazy person out there playing poker with a baby in a tower, right?"

Hearing these words, Chen Yi had no reaction. Fang Shuyu's face changed slightly and he quickly averted his gaze.

Although this kind of thing is a bit outrageous, it is not impossible.

Even if it is not with a doll, it may be a date between a man and a woman, and going to the deserted Wanxi Lake to seek excitement is very embarrassing.

"Maybe, you go in and take a look." Chen Yi said without comment.

Jiang Fanlei shook his head like a rattle: "If I don't go, I won't go. What an embarrassment it would be if something happened to me. It would be embarrassing for me and for others, and... and it seems like this tower is going to fall down."

As he spoke, he moved his gaze upwards to look at the top of the tower. It might be that the lake wind was strong today, causing the tower to sway more violently.

Chen Yigang wanted to speak, but heard a crisp sound.

Immediately, his expression changed and he shouted quickly: "Is there anyone inside?! Come out quickly! The tower seems to be collapsing!!"

No one responded.

Jiang Fanlei also started shouting: "The tower is really going to collapse! The walls are cracked! Come out quickly!!"

After a while, rapid footsteps sounded, and three children around ten years old rushed out of the tower door in panic, looking back at the tower in fear from time to time.

"Um?"

Chen Yi and the others were stunned for a moment. Is there really someone there? And they are actually children. Everyone's clothes are dirty and torn, as if they are street children.

According to statistics, there are millions of street children nationwide, which is a very high number, and most of them are in cities and towns, because cities and towns are better for survival and less likely to encounter danger.

I don’t know how long the three children in front of me have been outside. Are they orphans or abandoned?

"Hey, it's so pitiful. Send them to a children's rescue center." Fang Shuyu said.

Chen Yi hummed, and was about to step forward to ask. At this moment, he heard a loud roar, and the black tower began to tilt, and it might collapse at any time.

"Get away quickly!!" he shouted.

The three children ignored Chen Yi, but turned around and shouted anxiously: "Fourth baby! Fourth baby, come out quickly! It's... going to fall!"

Hearing this, Chen Yi's expression changed: "Is there someone else inside?!"

The three children nodded in unison.

"Stay away! Don't move!"

As he spoke, Chen Yi rushed forward and disappeared into the tower.

"List……"

Fang Shuyu and Jiang Fanlei's expressions also changed, it was too dangerous! This tower...

Click!

boom!

The entire tower finally began to collapse at this moment. Seeing this scene, Fang Shuyu and Jiang Fanlei's hearts froze.

"Chen Yi!!"

Fang Shuyu's expression turned pale.

On the other side, as the tower collapsed, Chen Yi quickly rushed out with a child in his arms, constantly looking back to avoid the falling gravel.

After finally reaching the safe zone, a beam as thick as an arm suddenly hit him. Chen Yi turned his head suddenly and raised his hand.

Click!

The beam broke. Chen Yi bent his legs and rolled with the child in his arms to avoid being buried in the rubble.

Jiang Fanlei was shocked: "Damn it! Chen Yi, you are superhuman! Invincible! Awesome! Well done!!"

Fang Shuyu breathed a sigh of relief and quickly stepped forward to see if Chen Yi was injured.

"Are you okay?"

"fine."

Chen Yi shook his head, stood up and put down the child in his arms.

The fourth baby looked about six or seven years old. His clothes were dirty and his face was black. He seemed to be frightened and stood there in a daze.

On the other side, three children approached timidly, but did not dare to get too close.

Chen Yi shook his right arm. Although the action just now was very handsome, his flesh and blood body was still in pain.

He turned to look at Jiang Fanlei and said, "It's a wise decision to come with you today, four children."

"Shuyu, thank you for agreeing."

Jiang Fanlei took a deep breath, feeling a little scared inside.

Whether they come today or not, the tower will definitely collapse, and then these four children will be buried inside.

Four lives, this was their luck. It was their luck to escape, and to be able to save four children.

Fang Shuyu was also grateful. As Chen Yi said, he was lucky enough to agree to Jiang Fanlei's play date last night. These four children were pitiful enough. If they died here, if they knew about it in the future, they would be very sad and they would never be able to let it go for the rest of their lives.

After looking at each other, the three of them looked down at the child in front of them, and at the same time waved to the other three not far away to come over.

"Why are you here?" Chen Yi asked.

The four children looked at each other and did not answer, or did not know how to answer.

Chen Yi continued to ask: "Do you have parents?"

They shook their heads.

Chen Yi: "Have you always lived here?"

They nodded.

Chen Yi: "Then what should we eat and drink?"

The four of them stopped talking again.

Chen Yi sighed, and Fang Shuyu also felt distressed. It was so pitiful. Fortunately, they met him and could be sent to the rescue center.

It happened to be a coincidence that he might be able to enter the Ningshun Orphanage in the next year. Zhou Zhiyue and the others happened to be acquaintances, so they could talk to each other easily.

At this moment, Siwa suddenly said: "It's the eldest brother who steals things for us to eat."

After the sound rang out, the other three older children quickly stepped forward and covered his mouth.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" Siwa didn't know why, his eyes flashed with innocence and confusion.

Chen Yi was stunned for a moment: "Brother? Is there a fifth person?"

Looking at the actions of the three children, he said gently: "It's okay, don't worry, we are not bad people, we will take you to eat delicious food later, okay?"

When they heard that there was delicious food, the three children's eyes lit up, but they still did not let go of their hands after hesitation.

It seems that they want to protect the "big brother" they talk about.

Fang Shuyu stepped forward and knelt down, smiling and saying, "Can you trust me, sister? Even if he steals things, we will help him."

Facing the beautiful elder sister, the three children were much less wary. After hesitating for a long time, they let go.

The fourth baby panted exaggeratedly, which was very cute.

"Si baby, where is your eldest brother now?" Fang Shuyu asked.

Siwa looked at her three brothers and replied, "I don't know. He went out last night and hasn't come back yet."

Fang Shuyu: "Do you know where he went?"

Siwa shook his head: "I don't know, he just went out to steal things for us to eat."

Fang Shuyu: "Has he come back so late before?"

Siwa shook his head again: "No, he came back very quickly before."

Fang Shuyu: "How old is he?"

Siwa: "I don't know, he is nine years older than me."

Fang Shuyu: "How old are you?"

Siwa: "I'm seven years old."

Fang Shuyu looked back at Chen Yi. It seemed that this so-called "eldest brother" was only sixteen years old.

Sixteen years old is also a child. Under normal circumstances, he should be in the third year of junior high school or the first year of high school.

At an age when the eagle is about to spread its wings, now it is out stealing in order to survive...no, to survive.

After Chen Yi pondered for a moment, his eyes narrowed slightly.

"Fan Lei, you will send them to the rescue center soon. Shuyu and I will go to the Chengnan Police Station immediately to take a look."

Since he usually comes back quickly, something went wrong, and he was probably caught for theft.

Jiang Fanlei: "Okay, don't worry, I know."

…

Chengnan Police Station, Chen Yi and Fang Shuyu took a taxi here.

As soon as he entered the door, a police officer turned his head and looked over. He was immediately stunned. He even blinked to make sure he saw it correctly.

"Deputy Branch Chen?!"

The police officer was pleasantly surprised and walked over quickly.

"Deputy Chen, it's really you!"

Now Chen Yi's reputation in various police stations in Yangcheng is higher than that within the city bureau. Many young police officers regard him as their idol in their hearts and the target to pursue in the future.

The deputy branch, who is less than 30 years old, only spent more than a year. I wonder who can do this.

Thinking about the huge liquor smuggling case that swept the city, their blood was still boiling.

After hearing the words Deputy Chen, more police officers gathered around and saluted and said hello, but no one asked why they suddenly came to the Chengnan Police Station.

Chen Yi raised his hand to lower his voice and said, "Be quiet. Did you catch a thief yesterday or today? Sixteen years old."

A police officer replied: "Deputy Chen, he was arrested last night and is about to be sent to the branch."

Chen Yi: "Don't send me away yet. Where is your Wu Institute?"

The other party: "We're in the office, what's wrong, Deputy Chen?"

Chen Yi glanced at him and said, "Invite the person who called the police over, and I'll go see your director."

The other party didn't ask any more questions, stood at attention and said, "Yes!"

In the office, Chen Yi knocked on the door, followed by Fang Shuyu

The man at the desk turned his head and saw that it was Chen Yi. He quickly stood up and smiled: "Deputy Chen, why are you here in the south of the city?"

As he spoke, he walked over to Chen Yi and stretched out his hand.

Chen Yi shook hands with Wu Zhengqun politely and said with a smile: "Passing by, passing by."

"Passing by?" Wu Zhengqun naturally didn't believe it and said sideways: "Come on, come on, sit down and say, is this a forensic doctor? I've seen him before."

Fang Shuyu smiled: "Hello, Wu Suo."

Wu Zhengqun: "Hello, hello."

The three of them sat down, and Chen Yi stopped Wu Zhengqun who was about to pour tea: "Wu Suo, I was going out to play with my friends, but something not big or small happened. I guess the person may be at your place. I didn't expect it." Right time."

Wu Zhengqun: "Oh? What is Deputy Chen referring to?"

Chen Yidao: "Did your office catch a thief last night?"

Hearing this, Wu Zhengqun nodded: "Yes, we did catch one. It's a pity to say that he is only sixteen years old... Uh, Deputy Chen, he can't be your relative, right?"

Chen Yi waved his hand: "No, no."

Afterwards, he roughly told Wu Zhengqun what he had just experienced on the island in the middle of the lake.

After listening to Chen Yi's words, Wu Zhengqun frowned: "So that's it. There are four street children and a teenager in my jurisdiction. It's my dereliction of duty. I'm really sorry."

Chen Yi smiled and said: "What Wu said is serious. Yangcheng is so big, this kind of thing is normal."

"I would like to ask, what is this young man's name and how much money is involved?"

Wu Zhengqun said: "My name is Yuan Ce, he is sixteen years old, and the amount is not big, just some food and drink."

"But he broke into a convenience store. It's a burglary, and it's quite bad in nature."

Chen Yi fell into thinking.

Generally speaking, a theft case must be at least 1,000 yuan before it can be filed. However, for relatively serious cases such as home burglary, pickpocketing on public transportation, and theft with a weapon, there is no limit on the amount and can be filed directly, and it is still a criminal penalty.

Wu Zhengqun glanced at Chen Yi, hesitated slightly, and said, "Deputy Chen, if you feel..."

Chen Yi quickly said: "Oh no, no, everything is in accordance with the procedures. You can't bend the law for personal gain just because he had something wrong. It's not fair to the victim."

"I have asked the police in your office to find the person who reported the crime. Can I meet this Yuan Ce before that?"

Wu Zhengqun nodded: "Yes, yes, of course. Isn't this just a matter of Deputy Chen's words?"

"But Deputy Chen, is this young man Yuan Ce the one who made the mistake? He should still..."

He did make a mistake, and he also committed a crime. There is no problem with that.

Chen Yi said: "Wu Suo, when a young man steals just to feed himself and his four children, it is not his fault, it is the city's fault."

Wu Zhengqun was stunned for a moment by these words, his mind was shaken, and he looked at Chen Yi with a hint of respect.

No wonder the city bureau and the provincial department valued him so much and promoted him under special circumstances. Not to mention his superior investigation ability, this kind of situation is not something ordinary police officers can possess.

It is conceivable that once the young man in front of him reaches a high position in the future, it will be a different scene for Yangcheng and even the entire Dongzhou.

He is indeed a rare and proud man. This is the true Gongmen practice.

"Deputy Branch Chen, I've learned a lesson." Wu Zhengqun said solemnly.

Chen Yi: "Wu Suo, you are being polite, but you are just telling the truth. Then I will go see Yuan Ce first."

Wu Zhengqun: "Okay, I'll take you there."

Chen Yi: "Thank you for your help."

At this moment, Yuan Ce was in the detention room. When Chen Yi opened the door and walked in, he was sitting there rubbing his palms. He looked very nervous and restless.

Hearing the noise, Yuan Ce looked up suddenly and saw a stranger not wearing a police uniform. He looked confused.

Chen Yi walked over and looked at Yuan Ce. He looked like a young man, and his clothes were as dirty as the four children. Although his face was childish, he was full of perseverance and courage.

The eyes, in particular, are as bright as the sun, like the rising sun, free of sinful impurities.

People can be judged by their appearance. At least the first impression Yuan Ce gave Chen Yi was that he was not a bad person and he had ideals.

Unfortunately, the conditions simply do not allow it.

"Your name is Yuan Ce." Chen Yi said.

Yuan Ce nodded.

Chen Yi: "What does Siwa and the others have to do with you?"

Yuan Ce's face suddenly changed and he stood up suddenly: "You...how do you know? This matter has nothing to do with them! They are just children!"

Chen Yi: "Aren't you a child too?"

Yuan Ce: "I...I am much older than them."

Chen Yi waved his hand: "Don't worry, they are safe. I have sent them to the rescue center, and they will be sent to the welfare home later."

Yuan Ce was stunned for a moment, lowered his head and said, "Thank you."

Chen Yi: "I have a question, why don't you send them to a welfare home?"

"They are young and don't know that a place like an orphanage is normal. Don't you know either?"

Yuan Ce was silent for a while and said: "Two of them refused to go, another one went away for ten days and then ran back. The last one was abandoned by his parents. If he went to the welfare institution, he would be sent to his parents' home."

Hearing this, Chen Yi nodded slightly: "Okay, I understand."

In fact, he knew there must be a reason, he just asked one more question.

There must be helpless reasons why so many street children in the country have not entered rescue centers or welfare homes.

For example: the biological parents divorce or die, and other immediate family members are unwilling to provide for them, or they cannot bear the abuse or beating by their parents and are forced to wander.

Another example: Dropping out of school because of family poverty, going out to work as child labor, being unfairly treated and unable to return home.

There are also more serious cases, most of which come from remote mountainous areas. They are abducted by some adults or criminals in the same village and beg on the streets in cities and towns.

There are many reasons and there is no need to delve into them.

"Don't worry, the orphanage is run by my friend, and I will also inform the rescue center. They will have a good life in the future."

Chen Yi continued.

"Now, let's talk about your problems."

Yuan Ce smiled slightly: "As long as they are fine, I stole something. I admit it, and I will punish it as I want."

Chen Yi: "Where are your parents?"

Yuan Ce said calmly: "After the divorce, my mother remarried and I lived with my father. Later, my father died of illness and my mother no longer cared about me."

A simple sentence that is heartbreaking.

Chen Yi didn't ask any more questions and said, "Just because you helped four children and didn't let them starve to death or freeze to death, nor were they kidnapped, let me tell you two things."

"The first thing is, just pretend that your theft never happened, and don't do any illegal or criminal activities in the future."

"The second thing is, think about your future ideals, think about it, and tell me in three hours."

"If it satisfies me, I can allow you to receive a normal education."

After saying that, he turned around and prepared to leave.

Yuan Ce was at a loss for two seconds, and then suddenly shouted: "You...who are you?"

Chen Yi: “Let’s talk in three hours.”

…

In the reception room, Chen Yi met the convenience store owner involved in the robbery and learned that his surname was Wang.

"Hello, Mr. Wang."

Chen Yi smiled slightly and extended his right hand politely.

Boss Wang looked at Chen Yi suspiciously: "Who are you?"

Chen Yi did not put down his hand and kept his smile: "Criminal Investigation Detachment of the Municipal Bureau, Deputy Captain Chen Yi."

Hearing this, Boss Wang was startled, stood up quickly, and held his hands: "It turns out to be Captain Chen, hello, hello..."

He muttered in his heart: Is the current criminal police captain so young?

He had no doubts, after all, this was a police station.

"Mr. Wang, please sit down." After the two sat down, Chen Yi said: "Boss Wang, I called you here this time mainly because I want to talk to you about the theft case."

Boss Wang was surprised: "Theft? What's there to talk about? He broke my door and stole my things. Can't he be sentenced directly?"

Chen Yi: "Mr. Wang, I wonder if there is room for maneuver in this matter?"

Boss Wang didn't understand: "What do you mean?"

Chen Yi: "I asked him to compensate Mr. Wang for his losses. Can Mr. Wang issue a letter of understanding?"

In a theft case involving a small amount of money, if the victim obtains the understanding and actively compensates for the losses, he may not be prosecuted and exempted from criminal penalties, but may be subject to administrative penalties as appropriate.

Administrative penalties are easy to handle.

Boss Wang hesitated: "This... Captain Chen, is he yours?"

Chen Yi: "Don't get me wrong, Mr. Wang. I don't know him, but he did the theft for a reason. It was to support his four younger brothers with different surnames. They are all street children."

"ah?"

Boss Wang didn't expect this to happen.

After thinking for a while, he said, "Okay, then I'll pay you 10,000 yuan. I forgive him."

On the other side, Fang Shuyu frowned.

It's just a broken lock, and everything is food and drink. Ten thousand feels a bit much.

To be honest, Yuan Ce had committed a crime, but if it were her, she would not be able to complain after knowing the inside story.

Chen Yi did not bargain, nodded and said: "Okay, then it's settled, ten thousand."

Boss Wang: “Yeah, okay.”

Soon, Boss Wang signed a letter of understanding, received a transfer of 10,000 yuan, and left happily.

Individuals are different and have different personalities. We cannot expect everyone to have a compassionate heart. The current results are already very good. At least Boss Wang is not holding on to the case.

"It's his luck and their luck to meet you."

Fang Shuyu stepped forward and held Chen Yi's hand, speaking softly.

She wanted to add that it was her luck, but it felt too corny and she was embarrassed to say it.

Chen Yi gave her too many surprises, and she could hardly accept them.

"Hey." Chen Yi sighed and said, "If he hadn't met by chance, Yuan Ce would probably have gone astray in the future. He seems to be a very precocious and smart person, and he will inevitably bring trouble to our police."

"Fortunately, it's not too late now. As long as he is guided, the future should be bright. This young man gives me a good feeling."

Fang Shuyu: "You don't think he can be a policeman, do you?"

Chen Yi shook his head and smiled: "Administrative penalties are inevitable. The files are stained and the police are no longer qualified. I mean other aspects."

"Let's go and find Wu Suo to see how the punishment is determined. It would be best if he could not be imprisoned."

"Also, if Yuan Ce has stolen from any house before, he must pay compensation, apologize and explain the situation. I believe the other party will not pursue too much."

An hour later, Chen Yi left Wu Zhengqun's office.

After discussion between the two, Yuan Ce was finally given an administrative penalty of a fine and confiscation of illegal income without detention.

It sounds like the punishment is very light, but as long as it is an administrative penalty, there will be a penalty decision. Although it is not a criminal record, it will be with you throughout your life and can be found.

That's why Chen Yicai said that he couldn't be a policeman.
