The Prosecutor Is Accustomed To Waiting For A Rabbit To Hit A Stump - Chapter 14

Chapter 14

“Third-generation novel drugs?” Xu Sheng worked at the police station, mostly dealing with petty thefts in his jurisdiction, and wasn’t very familiar with this area. “That guy said he bought the date-rape drug on his WeChat Moments.”

Gu Ye explained, “This is because third-generation drugs possess the characteristic of anterograde amnesia, and they are mostly colorless and odorless, making them hard to detect. Thus, they are frequently used in rape, fraud, and other crimes. You need to report this case to your supervisor as soon as possible. We might be able to use Chen Jia as an entry point to find the drug dealing ring operating on WeChat Moments.”

Xu Sheng felt his scalp prickle and couldn’t help but ask, “If the little girl had drunk it, would she have become addicted?”

“There are no research findings to answer your question yet, but the toxicity and addictiveness of third-generation information drugs are not lower than those of traditional drugs like opium and morphine, and they are comparable to synthetic drugs like ecstasy and methamphetamine. In short,” Gu Ye’s gaze deepened, “report it as soon as possible.”

“Yes!” Xu Sheng replied subconsciously.

This matter was enough to keep Xu Sheng busy for a while. Gu Ye had a court hearing the next day, so she prepared to leave.

As she stepped out of the police station, she realized a little tail was following her.

Gu Ye stopped and said expressionlessly, “Goodbye.”

“Wait!” Lin Fan quickly grabbed her arm. “Do you want to grab dinner together?”

Lin Fan had grabbed Gu Ye’s arm. Gu Ye tried to pull away but couldn’t; the ‘little white rabbit’ actually had quite a bit of strength. Giving up the futile effort, she looked up, her gaze particularly indifferent. “No need. I have a court hearing tomorrow, and besides, we’re not familiar with each other.”

Lin Fan actually wanted to ask Gu Ye what she had been muttering about with the police officer. She had been standing too far away to hear clearly, only vaguely catching the phrase ‘date-rape drug.’

But Gu Ye’s reply was truly cold, and her gaze was like a chilling wind on a cool night, freezing all the way to the doorstep.

“Fine.” Lin Fan let go, pursing her lips. She didn’t smile. “Goodbye.”

Gu Ye seemed to see the ‘little white rabbit’s’ invisible ears droop in disappointment. A flicker of inexplicable emotion lightly flowed through her, but she quickly steadied herself and walked away with long strides.

The brightly lit city, with its various neon signs, made her retreating figure look exceptionally detached.

Lin Fan muttered to herself, “So cold, truly a high mountain flower.”

As she walked to her car, the scene of their conversation replayed repeatedly in her mind, making her so embarrassed that she felt like she could curl her toes and scratch out the entire three-bedroom apartment in Anding District.

“It wasn’t even the first time we met, so why doesn’t she like me? That’s not right. I’ve always been popular. What’s the deal? Are we just incompatible?”

Lin Fan pouted.

Hmph! She has a court hearing tomorrow, and I have to sell pigs tomorrow!

Both are busy, okay! And both require intelligence!

Forget it, forget it, I still need to go back to that shop to get Miss Yan Han’s hand-ground coffee!

The highly intellectual “pig-selling incident” indeed became a long-running topic of conversation within the court system.

The weather was nice on the day of the pig sale, and the air in the suburbs was fresh.

Lin Fan had already thoroughly investigated the situation. The unfilial son was raising exactly ten pigs no more, no less.

Lin Fan reported the situation to Section Chief Zhang, and then to Director Cheng.

Cheng Yawen asked her, “Do you want me to assign a few more people to you?”

Lin Fan casually replied, “It’s only ten pigs. Ying Chaoyang and I can handle it. I’ve already contacted the relevant departments, and the transport vehicle has been arranged.”

“Are they big pigs or piglets?”

“Big pigs, fat and robust. They’ll definitely sell for a lot of money.” Lin Fan’s eyes instantly lit up when she mentioned this.

“In that case, let Chen Qian and Zhou Ning go with you, plus the driver. Five people, about two pigs each, should be fine.”

Cheng Yawen thought more thoroughly. She had Lin Fan run through the procedure once more. Only after confirming there were no loopholes did she nod, finally instructing, “The judgment debtor might act aggressively. You must be careful.”

“Yes!”

Sure enough, the unfilial son directly blocked the pigsty, tears and snot running down his face. “If any of you dare to sell my pigs, I’ll die right here for you to see!”

Chen Qian rolled his eyes. “At your age, please don’t equate yourself with the pigs. The piglets are so cute; they don’t want to be in the same category as you.”

“You little brat! Don’t you know about respecting the elderly and caring for the young! Is the court so ill-mannered!” the unfilial son cursed.

Just as Chen Qian was about to curse back, Lin Fan stopped him. Lin Fan winked at him and lowered her voice. “Civilized law enforcement, brother. Be classy.”

Chen Qian reluctantly shut his mouth.

Lin Fan nodded contentedly. Her “son” had grown up and was obedient.

Lin Fan had already thought of a solution after Director Cheng had preemptively pointed out the potential issue.

In the current stalemate, she pointed lightly to a car approaching in the distance. “Hey, old man, see that car? That’s the TV station I contacted. You are welcome to continue blocking us and crying out to heaven. Everyone in the city will get to see your ‘heroic posture’ then, including your square dancing partners.”

Seeing the unfilial son’s face immediately turn ashen, Lin Fan felt delighted and continued with a cheerful grin, “I specifically found a local media outlet this time. Their viewership is very high. You must have heard of them.”

When she mentioned the name of the program, the unfilial son’s face turned another shade darker.

“Hehehehe.” Lin Fan wasn’t in a hurry to proceed. She stood her ground, and when the female reporter and cameraman arrived, Lin Fan went forward to connect with them. When she looked back, she saw the unfilial son shrinking into a corner.

The effect was good, and everything was going smoothly.

The heavy stone in Lin Fan’s heart dropped.

Until! The fat pigs were led out! The scene became quite comical.

“Hey! Don’t run!” Lin Fan took the lead, driving the first pig out of the pigsty. Who would have thought that the big, obedient pig inside the sty would instantly turn into a large wild boar the moment it was released, bolting away on its four trotters?

Lin Fan quickly reached out to grab it, catching only a curly pig’s tail.

The pig’s tail was slick, slipping right out of Lin Fan’s hand.

Lin Fan quickly gave chase. “Don’t run!”

Her physical fitness was excellent. Unlike the judicial assistant Chen Qian, she was in the court police sequence, which required various annual fitness assessments.

So, in the cameraman’s lens, the adorable young woman could be seen suddenly accelerating from a standstill. Her crisp police uniform didn’t impede her performance. In just a few seconds, she caught up to the pig.

Then, with a textbook flying tackle, she grabbed the big pig’s ear.

The action was quite stylish; the scene was quite hilarious.

The cameraman chuckled quietly at the sight of the large pig in Lin Fan’s arms.

Fortunately, the other pigs were relatively well-behaved, with no mishaps.

After inspection by the relevant departments and weighing each pig, they were loaded onto the small transport pickup truck.

Based on market prices, the transaction price was finalized. The ten pigs, big and small, sold for over 20,000 Yuan—a substantial income, enough to cover the unfilial son’s past debts and the mother’s maintenance for some time to come.

Lin Fan was beaming. She waved to the unfilial son in the corner. “Come on, come here and sign. We need to complete the procedure. And congratulations! This counts as you fulfilling your filial duty to your mother. It’s rare to see someone as heartless as you in this world. Don’t think this is over after today. I’ll still be keeping an eye on you.”
