I Play Dungeons in the Police Station-Chapter 201 - 149: Zhou Man’s Thoughts
That night, after Mao Ji got home, he finally received a reply from Broken-winged Angel: You’re already the fourth person pretending to be a cop to approach me. Could you update your spiel? Such a weak excuse, it’s hard to be fooled by it anymore.
Mao Ji looked at the chat contents, a bit perplexed: Does she think I’m a scammer?
He casually took a screenshot and sent it to the internal group of the Criminal Investigation Team One, and the group exploded:
Zhou Man: Hilarious, Brother Mao has his day too. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂
Sun Zhidong: The scammer used the policeman’s words, leaving the policeman speechless.
Su Jiayi: Poor Mao Mao, for a minute.
Li Xiang: ...
Although Mao Ji had sent the screenshot, he didn’t forget his duties.
He explained his true identity and even took a photo of his police ID for her.
But Broken-winged Angel might have downloaded the national anti-fraud app, with very strong vigilance, or perhaps she had a high possibility of being targeted by fraudsters, having encountered many schemes, she developed an anti-fraud awareness.
With continuous explanations from Mao Ji, Broken-winged Angel finally believed his police identity—with some doubts.
Broken-winged Angel: Then what do you want from me?
Seeing that she finally believed him, Mao Ji suddenly felt an urge to cry. Why do people nowadays prefer to believe the words of scammers rather than the police?
Luckily, now wasn’t the time to discuss that. He quickly stated his purpose.
"I won’t help you. He is a good person, you people are the scammers."
Mao Ji: ...
"He can help those who don’t wish to live to die without pain. He’s a good person. Living is really too painful, every day is torment. I have thought of many ways to die, but I’m afraid of pain and have never dared to try."
Seeing she had thoughts of seeking death, Mao Ji dared not neglect her and quickly consoled: "Sis, you’re so young. If you die like this, wouldn’t you have regrets?"
"Regrets? I might have some. I want to see romantic Paris, but I guess I’ll never have that chance in this life."
"How could that be? Youth is your capital. As long as you work towards that dream, I believe you’ll fulfill it one day. In truth, the meaning of living is a process of continuously overcoming oneself. When you have fulfilled your regrets, you’ll understand the meaning of your life."
Mao Ji transformed into a caring big brother the whole night, staying by Broken-winged Angel’s side, chatting with her, slowly guiding her to abandon the thought of suicide.
After a night of company, Broken-winged Angel seemed to be moved by his words.
"You’re a good person, I now believe you’re a cop, I’m willing to help you."
At 5 a.m., when Mao Ji saw the message from her, he almost cried.
After counseling her all night, she finally gave him a "good person" card and finally believed he was a cop, but fortunately, the outcome was positive.
"You are a kind girl too. If the Mage contacts you again, I would like to ask for your help in arranging a meeting with him."
"Okay, wait for my good news."
-----------------
Li Xiang walked into the office and saw Mao Ji was already there, with heavy dark circles under his eyes. Seeing Li, he yawned and then said, "Captain Li, morning."
"Morning, how come you’re so early today?"
Since Li Xiang got a car, he’s been arriving at work quite early, waking up with his biological clock, unable to fall back asleep, so he simply gets up, grabs breakfast, and drives to work.
He’s often the first one to arrive at the office.
Today, however, he noticed Mao Ji was there even earlier.
"Chatting with someone is truly a tough job. I advised her all night just to get her to believe I’m not a bad guy, and she finally agreed to help me arrange a meeting with the Mage."
Li Xiang patted his shoulder: "Brother Mao, good work. Why don’t you lie down and get some sleep?"
"No need, those in criminal investigation, who hasn’t stayed up all night, used to it, I’ll check if there’s any news from Broken-winged Angel later."
Time passed quickly, and close to noon, they hadn’t received any news from Broken-winged Angel, but instead got news from the Nanhua police.
According to the news from there, around 10 a.m. on May 14th, Shao Han arrived at Nanhua Station, and after leaving the station, he got into a black Volkswagen sedan. Investigation showed it was a cloned car, and with dozens of similar vehicles in Nanhua City, investigating it was like finding a needle in a haystack.
In other words, the clue ended there.
The only thing they could continue investigating was hoping Broken-winged Angel could help them arrange a meeting with the Mage, for a face-to-face meeting, and try to catch him.
Around 1 p.m., Mao Ji was taking a lunch break, trying to catch some sleep after staying up all night, but it was at that time that Broken-winged Angel finally sent a message.
Hearing the notification tone, Mao Ji woke up reflexively, took out his phone, and saw:
"Police Uncle, I’ve arranged to meet with him, I’ll buy a ticket now to meet him in Nanhua, when will you guys come?"
"Okay, send me your ID number, we’ll buy you a ticket, and we’ll also head over first to find you. Don’t worry, we will protect your safety the entire time!"
"Mm, I trust you!"
Then, Broken-winged Angel sent her ID number, and checking via the police system, her real name was Mi Xiaojia, only 17 years old this year.
Mao Ji calculated the time, bought her a ticket for the next day, and informed Mi Xiaojia of the train she would be taking.
