City Z is a small and medium-sized city with good law and order and a stable society.
In the past ten years, the biggest homicide case was the rape and murder of a male student by a taxi driver.
The Internet is not popular yet and although the Municipal Public Security Bureau has an official website, few people send them emails.
When ordinary people want to contact the police, they still prefer to call directly.
This is the first time that the Municipal Public Security Bureau has received an email in the form of a document, and the content is long but well organised.
It can be roughly summarized as, ‘There is a crime syndicate with more than 100 members on the Internet, using the Internet to lure underage girls, commit sexual assault, and threaten the personal safety of the public. The victims are under the age of 14, and the crime syndicate had been lurking for more than three years. The number of victims is unknown, but may have reached hundreds.’
The police in city z have never encountered such an extensive criminal case.
The police officer who handles the mail has no way of judging the authenticity.
It also mentioned two fraudulent methods, phishing and scamming.
He never heard of it.
At least one-third of the information passed by informants in City Z every year is a false alarm. The police force is limited, and the police cannot be dispatched as soon as they receive a message.
It is very difficult to investigate the matter mentioned in the document, and both the criminal police brigade and the network department have to be dispatched. It is also a large project to conduct cross-provincial investigations.
First of all, it is necessary to confirm the authenticity of the email, and then decide whether to deploy the police force.
Otherwise, if they spend time and money on a trivial matter, it would be for naught. If another case occurs and the lack of police force leads to the endangerment of those who really need help, then the consequences will be dire.
At least the current director can’t absolve himself of the blame.
The intelligence department wanted to check, but couldn’t find out the sender’s address and identity information.
After the police reported to their superiors, they decided to use the simplest method to conduct a further investigation.
The message has been sent out, just waiting for the response from the other side.
They only target those who report false alarms. If the other party is a real insider, the other party will not back down.
The description of the crime is so detailed, it is either a lone ranger who has been tracking and investigating, or a traitor among the midst.
Both of these are ruthless characters who won’t be scared off by an email.
A few minutes later, an email was sent.
[It’s true, the reality will only be worse than what I described. I don’t know who the victims are, and I don’t have any direct evidence. They hide in the network, and I’m just one person. Add me to discuss in detail, and I will introduce a few groups to you.]
There is no evidence, no list of victims, indicating that the content provided by the other party is all based on guesswork.
Unwilling to provide real information and make things appear so serious. There has never been a similar case before. The credibility of the email is very low, and the more they look at it, the more it looks like a false alarm.
After discussion, Director Li decided to be more cautious.
If something really happened and he knew it but ignored it, he can’t absolve himself of the blame.
He wants someone from the Police Force to talk to the sender of the mail.
It doesn’t take too much energy to communicate through the mobile phone. He can deal with the opposite party while doing other work.
Try to determine the authenticity of the email content within three days.
___
In his original world, Chu Shici was very familiar with the police.
Whenever he was abused when he was young, he would run away from home and find a place to sleep on the side of the road.
Some kind-hearted people passing by will hand him over to the police.
When he grew up, whenever gangsters fought on the street, he was the most ruthless one, and his blond hair was particularly conspicuous in the crowd.
Some kind-hearted people passing by will hand him over to the police.
Some old policemen in the area watched him grow up. They knew what was going on in his family, and they often criticised his parents, and fined them several times.
But things like domestic violence are not so easy to manage, and Chu Shici has had a violent temper since he was a child.
He didn’t have the consciousness to ask the police for help when he was in danger, and he didn’t say anything when he was beaten.
Get some fame in other places, and since the Mid-Autumn Festival is the time to “return home”. Chu Shici took a stick and beat up the person who had abused him at home.
He also brought homemade mooncakes for the old police officers in charge of that area, but his family confiscated them.
Because he often met with the police during his lifetime, he also feels very cordial when facing the police of this world.
Not long after the news was sent out, a crime officer added him.
Although there was only one person, Chu Shici was very excited.
Pulling one is equivalent to pulling a group.
The crime officer has an official account, his profile picture is a cartoon policeman, and his screen name is also the Criminal Police Brigade.
Whether it is on his space page or any other, the word “serious” is written inside and out.
Z City Criminal Police Brigade 3: [Hello, comrade.]
Chu Shici smacked his lips.
Give him a disguise and change into an account of a poor little girl, otherwise he won’t be able to join the group.
A new friend request was sent from the opposite side soon.
[Sweetheart Kitty sends a friend request.]
The avatar is a pink cartoon cat, and the information says that she is 11 years old.
Chu Shici didn’t pass him right away, so he went to browse the other party’s space first.
[# I like eating strawberry cakes the most! So sweet, cats want to eat it! #]
[# Uncle’s hands and feet are dishonest, the most annoying! Hmph, Uncle Smelly. #]
[# The boys in school always bully me, I want to use my fairy wands to turn them into pigs. #]
Chu Shici shuddered.
He is afraid, he dare not add.
Maybe because it didn’t pass for a long time, and the original official account sent another message.
Z City Criminal Police Brigade 3: [Hello, comrade, it’s me, sweetheart kitty.]
The official mailbox of the Municipal Public Security Bureau also sent a message to help testify.
[Hello, comrade, sweetheart kitty is the team member we sent.]
Chu Shici: …
Fuck, scared.
At the same time, a 1.8-meter tall man in the city bureau was searching on the browser, [# How should a girl speak to sound cute? #]
___
Because of the fight with his classmates, Mingzhe was reprimanded by the teacher and they called his parents.
It wasn’t until after nine o’clock in the evening that he returned home with his grandma.
Grandma asked him why he was fighting.
Mingzhe silently touched his schoolbag strap, and said in a cold voice, “They touched my things.”
The kind old woman was not angry, and said that he hit well, and that man should be tougher.
Mingzhe pursed his lips and gave her a slight smile.
After returning to the bedroom, Mingzhe took Chu Shici out.
The little plasticine figurine is holding the plasticine computer, typing quickly, and shivering from time to time.
Mingzhe took a magnifying glass and leaned over to have a look.
Chu Shici was chatting with someone.
Superman Little Princess: [Comrade, have you joined the group yet?]
Sweetheart Kitty: [Well, I’m in the big group. It’s different from you, it’s another group named ‘Little Fairy’s Back Garden’. I have roughly read it, and the group is basically consistent with the characteristics you describe.]
Superman Little Princess: [Less than a day? It took me days to get in.]
Sweetheart Kitty: [Comrade Superman, you’re starting at the wrong point.]
Chu Shici sent a question mark.
Sweetheart Kitty: [I have read the chat records you gave me, and you are too cautious in answering questions. According to what you said, the criminal gang on the opposite side commits child sex crimes and targets children under the age of 14, so you cannot think like an adult. The child is too young, and they don’t have the sense of shame yet. When the other party mentions sexual organs, you just go along with it or pretend to be stupid. You don’t need to show emotions such as shyness or doubt.]
After a while, he also sent a chat record by copying and pasting.
Seeing the above content clearly, Chu Shici retreated tactically.
Good guy, the car drove straight in his face.
Sweetheart Kitty: [My setting is that my father died unexpectedly on a construction site overseas, and my family received a sum of compensation. My mother brought me, who was young, to move from the countryside to the city. Because of my thick dialect accent, I was ridiculed by my classmates and am poor at studying. Even the teacher doesn’t want to see me. My mother works as a cashier in a supermarket, and comes home at nine o’clock every night, and I have to cook for myself. At the beginning of this year, my mother bought me a mobile phone. She doesn’t know how to surf the Internet, and I’m just new to the Internet. The mobile phone is my capital to show off, and I have a strong desire to show off.]
Sweetheart Kitty: [My interpersonal circle is extremely poor, sex education is seriously lacking, and there are psychological problems. Changes make me uneasy, and being ignored makes me crave recognition and admiration all the more. Even twisted attention satisfies me. I will not be resistant to sexual harassment, let alone seek help after being sexually assaulted. In my morbid cognition, there is no word of harassment, as long as I can get the attention of others, I can do anything. Committing crimes against me, with zero risk and high returns, is the most suitable prey.]
Chu Shici smacked his lips and read the chat history of Sweetheart Kitty again.
The tone is cute and innocent, revealing the ignorance of the world and the liveliness of a little girl.
But the words spoken are all sensitive words.
Kitty will use those dirty words taught by the chat partner directly. Every time he used it, the other party praised him for being smart, and he used it more and more vigorously.
It fits his personality very well, because he doesn’t understand anything, so he dares to say anything.
It’s a pity that the opposite side didn’t know that the other side of the screen was not a simple stupid kid, but a bunch of strong men in police uniforms.
Chu Shici shook his head, he was indeed too conservative.
There was the sound of shallow breathing behind him, he looked back, Mingzhe put down the magnifying glass, his face was so red that it dripped blood.
Chu Shici covered the screen, “Understand? Are you shy?”
Mingzhe pursed his lips tightly, and turned away to do his homework.
Chu Shici sat cross-legged on the table and looked at him with his chin propped up.
No wonder Mingzhe has been in the group for so long, but no one is interested in him, and they are trying to kick him out in different ways.
Don’t mention being brainwashed, as long as someone dares to say the slightest foul language in front of Mingzhe, he will curse, report, and delete the friend on the spot.
A series of combo punches that will not leave anyone alive.
Mingzhe knew that Chu Shici was looking at him, so he didn’t dare to turn his head.
Just peeking at the screen, he was shocked by the chat history on it, and he hasn’t recovered yet.
When he calmed down, Mingzhe asked softly, “Kitty, who is it?”
Chu Shici taps on the keyboard, thinking that he has nothing to hide, so he simply tells the truth.
“After I roughly guessed the other party’s intentions, I sent an email to the Municipal Police Bureau, which is regarded as a police report. Because I didn’t have any evidence, the police didn’t trust me, so they decided to send someone out to confirm the authenticity of the document. They sent Kitty, who is a police officer.”
Mingzhe turned his head slightly, “Police officer?”
“He’s awesome. I had to try so hard at ‘self-recommendation’ to pass the review of criminals step by step. They directly set up a persona and let the criminal come to pick him up. Joined the group for a few hours, skipped the review step, and entered the large group directly for the second screening.”
Mingzhe was silent for a long time, “It seems that there are indeed victims.”
Chu Shici was taken aback.
Mingzhe’s eyelashes fluttered slowly.
“Since the opposite side is a criminal group that has been lurking for a long time without being discovered, it shows that they are very cautious. They have reached the point of perfection in screening prey. I thought all afternoon, if it is really a long-term crime, then they should have a set of their own experiences.”
He put down his pen and looked down at the little plasticine figurine, “I feel that this is probably the same as learning different subjects. Classify subjects into different categories of difficulty, pulling the prey into different groups, and use specific methods to break down their defences. Because you and Kitty have different persona, both of you entered two group chats. Since there are groups dedicated to dealing with Kitty, they must have come into contact with people similar to him.”
Chu Shici opened his mouth and looked at him in shock.
The system poked him, [Stunned?]
‘I reported it, someone is hacking.’
[If male protagonists of feel-good novels can be the ceiling of combat power, why can’t the campus romance novel’s male protagonist have a high IQ. You are partial to your man, this is a double standard. I am different, I like my Mingzhe. Zai Zai* is brave to fly, and Dad will always be with you!]
*(fledgling)
Maybe because he felt that it was not suitable for him to intervene in this matter, Mingzhe stopped talking and started to do his homework.
He looked calm, but the way he wrote was extremely heavy. He had cut through the pages, leaving black ink underneath.
The room is very quiet, and the sound of writing is very loud, and it seems that there is some anger within it.
The truth may be as Mingzhe said.
Chu Shici fidgetted, not knowing how to comfort him.
The policeman who had been chatting with the group suddenly sent a message, [Comrade Superman, is it convenient to talk.]
Superman Little Princess: [Convenient, convenient.]
Sweetheart Kitty: [They pulled me into another group, the previous groups have already kicked me out. The members of this group are all male. They are trying to brainwash me, trying to make me feel male-conscious and sexually worshipped. I am actively cooperating with them. Judging from the current situation, there is indeed a criminal group behind it, but it has not reached the level of a criminal case, and further confirmation is needed.]
[I understand your feelings very well. The Municipal Police Bureau is investigating whether the sexual assault cases in recent years are related to cyber deception. I will give a reply by tomorrow afternoon at the latest.]
He paused, and added: [The spirit of crime fighting is commendable, but the priority is to ensure the safety of your own life.]
Chu Shici burst into tears, this was the first time a policeman praised him.
When he shed tears behind bars, those policemen pressed his arm and told him to be more honest.
He is hesitating, and he should be more reserved with the reply later.
Kitty has posted a few new developments.
[# So excited, so excited, so excited! Kitty has made good friends! It’s a good brother, yeah yeah! ! ! #]
Chu Shici: …
He doesn’t know if his experience is too short, or if the police in this small world are special.
He was terrified when he thought that this persona was researched by a group of burly men.
___
Mingzhe was worried and couldn’t sleep well.
When he woke up in the morning, he looked a little sluggish.
Superman was sleeping soundly in his plasticine bed, and he was clearly relieved when he got in touch with the police.
Mingzhe has no special impression of the police.
When encountering difficulties, he often thinks of calling the police, also because he often sees police advertisements on TV.
The first time Mingzhe thought of calling the police was the incident with Lanlan.
He was worried that Lanlan would be in danger, and thought of the advertisements on TV, so he asked her to call the police to save herself.
In the end, Lanlan died, and everyone in the group said that she called the police.
Mingzhe feels guilty, but his mind is still clear.
He sorted out the order and felt that the problem did not lie with the police.
What those people did is not considered a violation of the law, at most they can only try to educate the parents.
The law is a protective umbrella, but also a chain. That is a clear line. In many cases, it is not that the police don’t care about it, but someone who is frantically probing on the edge of the line, and finally gets in through the loopholes in the system.
It takes more than an hour to travel by bus from home to school.
Mingzhe leaned his head against the window, stroking Chu Shici with his hand.
Clothes can be patched with fabric if they are torn, and holes in the wall can be filled. Can legal holes be patched?
He is still young and doesn’t know so much.
But he was outraged by his friend’s death. She could have lived, maybe they could have just had the hole patched.
When Chu Shici woke up, the place had changed from a plasticine bed at home to a small desk at school.
It’s recess time, and the class is very noisy.
Mingzhe took a nap on the table, while several girls peeked at him.
There was also a love letter and chocolates beside Chu Shici, probably from a girl who had a crush on Mingzhe.
Mingzhe didn’t even look at it, and chose to ignore it.
Chu Shici touched the carefully prepared love letter.
It’s useless, before meeting the female lead, the male lead only has eyes for learning.
During the lunch break at noon, Mingzhe’s cell phone vibrated.
Dr. Chen, a psychiatrist at the Third Provincial Hospital, sent another message.
[How has your recovery been recently? Do you still have suicidal tendencies? I originally planned to meet you in City Z next Saturday, but the academic exchange meeting in City Z has been postponed. I will go on the 6th of next month, is it convenient to come out and meet? Your situation is serious and I would like to meet with you.]
Mingzhe was taking a nap, so Chu Shici did not disturb him.
He turned on his laptop and logged into the chat software, only to find that the police had sent him several messages.
Sweetheart Kitty: [They started introducing me to part-time jobs, but unlike what you said, they asked me to be their puppy. No one has asked me out yet, but the situation and the content of the email basically match. It can be determined that there are indeed criminal gangs that lure minors on the Internet.]
Sweetheart Kitty: [The Crime Squad has started an investigation, please keep quiet. Thank you again for your important information and contribution to the safety of the society. If you encounter retaliation by criminals, immediately seek help from the police.]
Chu Shici wiped away tears.
He, a regular prisoner, has finally turned over a new leaf.
Mom, I’m promising, and the police praised me.
At ten o’clock in the morning, the kitty made a post.
[# I really want to eat cakes, but my mother won’t buy them for me. Want to eat strawberry cake. Kitty is sad, eh. #]
As if nothing happened, like a split personality.
___
After sending those two messages again, the police deleted him that night.
After a while, thye added him back, clearing the chat history in disguise.
Chu Shici peeped into his space every day, watching the big man with their pink profile pictures, acting coquettishly and cutely.
There are some more comments and likes below, he doesn’t know where the other children came from.
The police can’t fish to enforce the law, and they don’t fish.
Kitty just came to confirm whether there is really a criminal group, and now it is confusing.
It has been a month since their last chat.
Whether it is online or on TV, there is no relevant news.
“Princess’s Crystal Castle” is still as lively as usual, very lively, nothing unusual.
At first Chu Shici was still waiting peacefully, but now there is no news, he was a little worried.
It is the police in this world who operate too secretly for fear of scaring the snake away. Or did they already catch some miscellaneous fish, and then went back home.
After school on Friday, Mingzhe went to the stationery store and bought a new box of plasticine.
When he got home, he put Chu Shici on the desk and tore off his head.
Suddenly his head moved, Chu Shici blinked blankly, “What’s wrong?”
Mingzhe put the anatomical diagram of the human body on the table, facing the diagram, and began to pinch the internal organs for Chu Shici.
He was busy until the middle of the night, pinching everything except the blood vessels.
On Chu Shici’s round head, there was also a mouth, teeth and tongue that could be opened and closed.
Mingzhe reassembled him, rubbed his sore eyes, and said in a cold voice, “You can eat from now on.”
He handed over a jellybean, “Try it.”
Chu Shici licked it, and his eyes lit up instantly.
He has candy!
Mingzhe’s eyes gradually softened as he watched the little plasticine figurine gnawing on the fudge.
Little Superman saved his life and is his best friend.
He is too young to face danger with Little Superman. Moulding his body was the only thing he could do.
Mingzhe wants to grow up quickly.
When he becomes an adult, he can stand beside his Gege.
Chu Shici was eating sweets happily when Mingzhe suddenly received a call.
A middle-aged man’s voice came through the microphone.
“Mingzhe, I’m Dr. Chen. I’ll be in City Z tomorrow morning. Do you have time in the afternoon? I want to ask you out to meet. You haven’t chatted with me for a long time, and I’m worried about you.”
Chu Shici narrowed his eyes and flew over to eavesdrop.
Mingzhe pursed his lips, and said softly, “I’m already healed.”
“I understand that you are worried that I am a bad person. We can choose to meet in a public place, and the location is up to you. I don’t mean any harm, I just want to help you.”
The little plasticine figurine was holding the sweet and flying around in front of his eyes.
Mingzhe looked at him quietly, and said in silence for a long time, “Okay, thank you doctor.”
___
Chu Shici found that Mingzhe had become bad, and he was listless.
He went to scout around the bureau early in the morning, and chose a coffee shop less than a kilometre away from the city bureau.
It is adjacent to the main road, and police cars will pass through here when they come in and out, and police officers come in to buy things from time to time.
At three o’clock in the afternoon, a man wearing gold-rimmed glasses walked into the coffee shop.
He was plain looking, with a button-down shirt and a bald head.
The man looked around and walked straight to Mingzhe’s seat.
He showed a gentle smile, and stretched out his hand to Mingzhe: “Hello Mingzhe, I am a psychiatrist from the Third Hospital of R Province, and my surname is Chen.”
Mingzhe hesitated for a moment before reaching out his hand.
Dr. Chen pushed his glasses and took out a form from his bag, “We haven’t chatted often recently, so I can’t judge your psychological condition. This is a psychological test form. You can fill it out.”
Mingzhe put his cap on the table, and Chu Shici hid behind it.
He took the form: “Why are you helping me?”
“I came to City Z for an exchange, since it’s convenient, so I came over to see you.”
Several police cars roared past, Dr. Chen’s voice was muffled for a moment and became indistinct.
Mingzhe looked back subconsciously, through the car window he could see that every police car was packed with suspects.
People in the neighbourhood often see police cars. Normally, people would only take a look and look away.
Chu Shici, who was hanging out in the large group chat, received another private chat from Sweetheart Kitty.
[Here it is, the big fish is caught. Comrade, do you want a pennant*? The leader said that there will be a bonus, do you want it?]
*(silk banner, award or gift.
Chu Shici wiped away tears.
The police have fined him before, but this is the first time a policeman has offered to give him an award.
How is mom in heaven? Look, your son is promising.
