Chapter 89: Catching the Big Fish (Requesting Subscriptions and Monthly Tickets)_2
"You have a good plan, but Wang Pingchuan also mentioned that Uncle is extremely cautious, typically contacting them only by phone and rarely meeting in person. Moreover, he's especially skilled at disguising himself, with a strong anti-surveillance sense. So, I'm afraid he won't agree easily."
"In any case, we have to give it a try to find out. If it doesn't work, we can try other methods."
"Additionally, I suggest checking Uncle's phone number. Although he might use a fake ID, there's a high chance his call records contain contacts of other suspects."
"Yes, you're right. I'll leave this task to your team three."
After Luo Fei finished speaking, Zhang Fan, Yang Su, and others began to offer their own suggestions and ideas. Everyone pooled their thoughts, and they finally came up with several plans.
Then, they anticipated various situations that might arise from these approaches and devised ample countermeasures in advance. Once they were sure there were no loopholes, Zhao Donglai declared the meeting adjourned.
Afterward, he took Luo Fei and Yang Su to have a talk with Yang Dawei and Wang Pingchuan.
...
7:30 AM.
Yang Mei, carrying a delicate insulated container and wearing a faint smile, hurried into the detective squad.
Inside the container was a heartfelt breakfast she had brought from home for Luo Fei.
It turned out that yesterday, upon noticing Luo Fei's slight weight loss, she felt both distressed and guilty over her negligence as a girlfriend.
Luo Fei brought her breakfast daily, urging her to eat properly, yet she had never once thought to bring him breakfast.
To make up for it, she got up early today to prepare this breakfast for Luo Fei. She even left over twenty minutes earlier than usual and managed to reach the police station at this time.
The thought of soon seeing him and giving him a surprise made her walk even faster.
But as soon as she pushed open the door to Team Three's office, she was shocked!
At the same time, Wang Yong and others were equally surprised to see her.
"Captain Yang, you're here so early today? Are you looking for our team leader? He just left for a while. Come in and wait."
Yang Mei walked in, glanced at the clock overhead, and asked in confusion, "Why are you all here so early?"
She almost thought there was something wrong with her phone's time.
Otherwise, how could she see them at this hour?
This was surreal!
"What's early? We didn't sleep all night, right?" Zhao Cheng yawned pitifully.
"Didn't sleep all night?"
No wonder.
Yang Mei remarked in surprise, "It's just finding someone, right? Did you work overtime all night?"
She also knew Luo Fei had sent a photo to them yesterday to help find someone.
"Sort of. We found him long ago, but in the middle of the night, the team leader suddenly solved a major trafficking case, so we were called back from bed to work overtime."
Upon hearing Zhao Cheng's words, Yang Mei curiously asked, "What trafficking case?"
She recalled Luo Fei was investigating Chen Chahua's disappearance; how did it suddenly become a trafficking case?
"You better ask the team leader yourself," Zhao Cheng said, nodding toward the door. "Speak of the devil, he's here."
Yang Mei turned to see Luo Fei walking in.
"Luo Fei!"
"Yang Mei, you're here. Did you have breakfast?"
Luo Fei asked.
"I already ate at home. Did you eat? I brought you some homemade breakfast, want to try it first?"
Yang Mei said, raising the insulated container in her hand.
Before Luo Fei could respond, Wang Yong sighed deeply, "Ah, how envious I am of the team leader, working overtime and still having someone deliver breakfast. Unlike us single dogs, who can't even get a sip of hot water after a long night."
"Scram, what's with the whining? The water dispenser's not off, can't you get some hot water yourself?"
Luo Fei jokingly scolded, then took the container from Yang Mei's hand, "Ignore these guys. I'm hungry, let's go out and eat."
"Okay!"
And the two sweetly left.
Left unsolicitedly witnessing this, Wang Yong and Zhao Cheng were annoyed, playfully accusing Luo Fei of abandoning his brothers for a girlfriend.
Zhao Cheng, noticing something intriguing, exclaimed, "But have you noticed? Captain Yang isn't even a bit aloof in front of our team leader; instead, she's so demure!"
"You don't need to say it; I've noticed it long ago."
"What does this show? It shows our team leader is incredibly charming!"
The three of them bantered enthusiastically, while Yang Mei, the subject of their discussion, sneezed twice.
"What's wrong, got a cold?" Luo Fei asked with concern.
"No, it's just my nose feels a bit uncomfortable."
Yang Mei rubbed her nose and remembered something, "Luo Fei, Wang Yong just mentioned you solved a trafficking case. What's going on?"
"It's a bit complicated. Yesterday, didn't I find a man traveling with Yang Dawei suspicious? So, I asked Wang Yong to check him out."
"I know that. And then?"
"Then Wang Yong found out that this guy was a fugitive..."
While speaking, they sat on a bench, and Luo Fei explained the story while eating the breakfast she brought.
Hearing the children being loaded into suitcases infuriated her, causing her to curse repeatedly, then she looked at Luo Fei with admiration.
"Luo Fei, thankfully, you insisted on following last night. Otherwise, the child might have been in real danger. By the way, is the child out of danger now?"
At her inquiry, Luo Fei quickly remembered, "I got so busy last night that I forgot about that. Wait, I'll call Dr. Xu and ask."
Dr. Xu was the male doctor from last night.
Luo Fei dialed his phone number.
"Hello, Dr. Xu, this is Luo Fei from the detective squad. I'm calling to ask about the child's current situation from last night."
"Officer Luo, have you finished your tasks? Don't worry. After my colleagues and I performed emergency procedures last night, the child is temporarily out of life-threatening danger. We anticipate transferring them to a regular ward by this afternoon."
"That's great. I'll find time to visit later."
"No need to thank me; it's our duty. By the way, any news on the child's parents? The child is awake and keeps asking for them. Although we've managed to calm them down temporarily, it's crucial to find the parents soon."
"Our team is working at full speed to find their parents, and we aim to contact them as soon as possible."
After hanging up the phone, Luo Fei quickly finished the remaining breakfast and told Yang Mei, "Yang Mei, the child is awake. I need to go over and take some notes to aid in finding the parents."
"I'll come with you!"
"Alright, let's inform Zhao first."
"Okay."
Given the situation, Zhao Donglai wouldn't refuse their request.
"You should go quickly, but don't worry about rushing back. I've already requested leave from Director Wu, and we can skip the training session later."
Usually, cases have to be reported immediately, especially major human trafficking rings, which couldn't be hidden.
Assessing that Wucheng was already awake, Zhao Donglai promptly called him to report the situation.
