Chapter 82: The Big Case (End)

  To be continued

  A long pursuit has finally entered the final stage, with police cars blaring their sirens and launching a four-pronged attack. The suspects who had been locked down were caught one by one. A massive cross-provincial counterfeiting ring was successfully busted by the police.

  National Road scene. The troops also arrived in full force. Taking pictures, collecting evidence, and detecting traces were all busy with joy. In the ambulance, the doctor who was doing emergency sutures was racing against time. Tian Miao Miao was dazed for a moment when a large hand grasped hers. Following the corner of her eye, she saw that Zheng Shiyan had bruises on his face, several stitches, and his arm was also in a sling, silently sitting beside her. Tian Miao Miao's hand was very cold, very cool, and slightly trembling. Zheng Shiyan added some force, tightly grasping her hand, softly saying: "It hurts a bit, bear with it..."

  Tian Miao slightly shook her head within a limited range and weakly asked: "Are you injured?"

  "It's nothing. Just a scratch. The turtle let the grass carp hit it with a stone."

  "What about grass carp?"

  "A large troop surrounded him and he still wanted to resist stubbornly. He was shot dead by the special police comrades."

  After a brief exchange, they fell silent again. Tian Miao Miao's wound had been stitched up. The two of them sat in the ambulance and spoke another couple of sentences. Zheng Shi Yan saw how exhausted she was and jokingly said, "Tired? Borrow my shoulder." He thought Tian Miao Miao would retort with a couple of words. A wisp of fragrance wafted into his nostrils. A head of beautiful hair brushed against his chest. Tian Miao Miao gently leaned into Zheng Shi Yan's embrace. Her petite body was trembling slightly. The last thing she said was, "I'm scared..."

  Looking at the sleeping Tian Miao, Zheng Shiyan straightened his body and made her pillow more comfortable. Smiling, he said in a barely audible voice: "From now on, you won't be afraid anymore. You know, you're braver than many people..."

  Busy for two days, the year-end super-large counterfeit currency case is nearing its end. The police forces of the two provinces cooperated fully and worked together to capture more than 20 suspects. In Dayuan City, led by Zhang Biao and Luo Mingwei, all ten people were caught without exception. Because they were caught in the act, it didn't take much effort to announce a breakthrough in the trial. The pre-trial, conclusion of the case, and transfer of the case are proceeding in an orderly manner. The members of the special case group all showed happy smiles.

  Vice Minister Su accepted a TV interview and said: "Counterfeit currency is a tumor in the economic operation, which not only disrupts the financial order and currency market, but also causes direct losses to the people. Industry experts say that the manufacture and sale of counterfeit currency must rely on a complete network. In the 1990s, counterfeit currency was mainly produced abroad and in the southeastern coastal areas of China, and entered the mainland through illegal channels. However, in recent years, the production of counterfeit currency has gradually shifted to the mainland."

  Last year, the public security department of our province cracked down on multiple counterfeit currency cases at the intersection of two provinces, destroying a total of 4 dens. All were provided with semi-finished counterfeit bills from coastal areas of Guangdong Province, transported by passenger buses or private cars to remote mountainous areas in our province, where villagers were hired for secondary processing before being sent to Sichuan and Chongqing for sale.

  A young female reporter from Provincial TV asked: "Director Su, why is counterfeit currency crime unstoppable? Is there any difficulty in this regard?"

  Deputy Director Su nodded, his expression painful as he said: "The problem of counterfeit currency crimes that cannot be eradicated is related to the low threshold for making counterfeit currency and the huge profits it brings; a counterfeit currency production den is equivalent to a small printing workshop. The printing machines, ink, and commercial paper used are all available on the market. The threshold is very low. As long as you can get the plate-making film, plus the technicians have strong color adjustment capabilities, you have the basic conditions for manufacturing counterfeit currency.

  The current wholesale price of counterfeit currency is about 6 yuan for every 100 yuan, and the price will be further increased after resale. The profit from counterfeiting and selling counterfeit currency is quite substantial. Counterfeiting and selling counterfeit currency is a serious criminal offense. However, with the development of modern scientific technology and the popularization of the internet, the operation of electronic devices for making counterfeit currency has become simpler and more realistic. Criminals are also becoming younger and more intelligent.

  In the face of the rampant counterfeit currency, public security organs will resolutely crack down on it. In the future, when dealing with counterfeit currency crimes, we must not only strengthen intelligence gathering and severely punish offenders, but also promote key areas to accelerate economic and social development, strengthen legal education, and eradicate the social soil that breeds counterfeit currency crimes. Relevant financial institutions and judicial departments should strengthen cooperation with public security organs, improve the collection, analysis, and judgment of basic data on counterfeit currency crimes, and share information such as the identity, contact information, and source of counterfeit currency holders. This will help to discover clues about counterfeit currency manufacturing and distribution. At the same time, we will moderately increase the reward for reporting counterfeit currency crimes, enhance intelligence accuracy, and thank you.

  The crowd watching on the scene burst into cheers and applause, a joyful scene all around.

  In the hospital, Liu Jianmin carefully lifted the quilt. The niece in front of him made his nose sour. It turned out that her long hair was gone. In order to facilitate suturing the wound, the doctor ruthlessly shaved her into a bald head.

  The front part of the head was hit by a pistol grip 5 times, with 4 stitches; The doctor diagnosed it as an external blunt force trauma. Mild concussion. At this time, it's even more heartbreaking to see her like this. Her face is pale from blood loss, and her head is wrapped in a medical net with layers of gauze wrapped around it. I carefully touched my niece's forehead and asked her: "Does it still hurt?"

  Tian Miao smiled and shook her head. It was rare to see Uncle Lao's gentle side. She still remembered when she was a child, she fell ill once and threw a tantrum, demanding that Uncle Lao sing to her. At that time, he was still young, and the rough-looking Uncle Lao gently stroked her hair with his big hands, singing "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star" in his hoarse voice.

  Just like a cat being petted, he gently rubbed against Old Uncle's hand. Liu Jianmin's eyes welled up with tears again. He forced a smile and said: "I stewed a fat chicken for you. It smells so good. Come on, Bao'er, get up and have some chicken soup."

  Tian Miao's old face turned red. Next to him, Gong Qian and Gao Xiang covered their mouths and giggled. "Uncle, I'm not little anymore. Stop calling me by my childhood name."

  "Okay okay okay... whatever you say goes. Come on slowly... I'll help you up..."

  Drank half a bowl of soup. Ate two pieces of stewed chicken that was very tender. Tian Miao Miao asked: "You didn't tell me about your family, did you?"

  Liu Shouzhang smiled wryly: "How dare I? I don't even dare to go home now. These chickens were all stewed at the police station."

  "Hmph" "Hmph", a faint smile appeared. Liu Suozhang glared at Gao Xiang: "What's wrong with you, kid? Such a dangerous mission, how could you let Miao Miao go?"

  "Ugh... I'm so unlucky. Nobody wants me..." Gao Xiang almost choked to death. Why do I always get hit even when I'm lying down?

  "You don't know how to take the initiative, do you? You're a newcomer, shouldn't you be actively performing well? This old saying is good: if there's an opportunity, seize it; if not, create one and still strive for it... Do you still want to make progress or not?"

  "Uh..."

  Gao Xiang scolded Miao Miao's unreasonable uncle. Gong Qian couldn't help but say, "Director Liu, this isn't Gao Xiang's fault either. Our entire big team's reputation was saved by Tian Miao Miao alone. She has a unique skill for making money."

  A few people chatted for a while, and Tian Miao said: "Old uncle, you go back. It's the end of the year. You're busy. I'm fine here. Don't worry about me. That... help me tell a lie, okay? Just say that I got stuck with the case. This year, I'm afraid I won't be able to go home for New Year's..."

  Liu Zuochang fell silent for a moment, then let out a helpless sigh and said: "Alright, Uncle will help you. You focus on recovering from your injuries. I'll come visit you when I have time."

  Gong Qian and Gao Xiang came to the hospital from the first day Tian Miao Miao was admitted. Tian Miao Miao is hospitalized for treatment. The two of them also lingered in the hospital, unable to be driven away. According to Gao Xiang's words, there are only a few days left before the New Year. Except for the cases that have not been closed, our external work has basically stopped. It's not just one or two days since we should hang up the cases that need to be hung up. The team leader can rest assured. We are classmates, let us accompany you for these few days.

  This afternoon, after lunch, a large group of people came to visit the patient again. Forensic Zhao sister brought Zhang Wei, Chen Gangqiang and some internal staff from the team. Tian Miao's teacher Li Quanhao and Gao Xiang's partner Luo Lin also came. Fruits, flowers, supplements, all piled up so high that they could hardly be placed. In the evening when getting off work, Ye Duo, Wang Min, Su Susu, Han Juan also rushed over together. Only Zhang Tong was missing. It was a rare gathering of classmates again, and it was inevitable to have some fun: "Hey, why does this Middle Eastern rich man look so familiar?"

  "Wang Min, you're just jealous. I've seen Middle Eastern tycoons before, but this is clearly Ah San Ge."

  "Female hooligan. She's still hurt, you know. Don't you guys have any sympathy? " Gao Xiang was fed up. This task was all Ye Dui's doing. If only he hadn't opened his mouth back then... Now Gao Xiang just wanted to give Ye Dui a big X whenever he saw her.

  "Haha, Gao Xiang, why are you so tense? But thinking about it, it's really a pity. If the one lying there was you, that would be great. At that time, I will definitely thank the criminal for helping us vent our anger."

  "It's true, it's true...". A chorus of agreement left Gao Xiang speechless: "Are you here to see Miao Miao or to condemn me? Can't you make up your minds? I'm not hurt. Have you forgotten my fighting skills?"

  He burst out laughing. Even Gong Qian and Tian Miao Miao couldn't help but laugh at him. Gong Qian cut an apple into small pieces to feed Tian Miao Miao, who giggled as she watched them bicker.

  "Tian Miao Miao, you don't have any sense of honor at all. How glorious it is to fight against criminals! And look at this guy, he looks like he's been wronged..."

  "Hey, you guys are always acting like a bunch of girls. Hmph, not afraid that you'll end up marrying no one in the future? No way, that's too easy on you guys. Hehe, got it! I curse you all to marry police officers in the future. Not only will you be left alone at home every day, but you'll also have to deal with an evil mother-in-law who'll torment you every day. Haha!" The four policewomen were ridiculed and furious, their anger burning like fire. Ye Du was so angry that she shouted loudly: "He's gone crazy! Squad leader, we've got him pinned down. You come and teach this little punk a lesson!"

  Everyone gathered in front of Tian Miao's bed, chattering and laughing. They got Tian Miao to laugh out loud. But it moved her wound. It made Tian Miao cry out in pain. This time the pot exploded again. Su Su hurriedly called for a doctor and nurse. The nurse scolded everyone as soon as she entered the room. Her wound had just been stitched up two days ago. The patient needs rest. She needs quiet. All of you leave now.
