Chapter 1436 - Almost Forgot

Chapter 1436: Almost Forgot

“Yes, sir.” Yin Shixiong was so busy that he didn’t even have time to drink.

He acted according to Huo Shaoheng’s orders. First, he contacted the police station and put out an arrest warrant for the black SUV.

Then, he officially asked the Traffic Control Bureau to look up the information of the 18-wheeler truck driver and passed it to the staff of the special operations forces under him. He ordered them to invite the driver to the special operations force for ‘tea’.

Finally, the surveillance footage that showed the abrupt appearance of four identical black SUVs was posted on the Internet. At the same time, it was broadcasted on the television station, advertising a huge reward for eyewitness accounts.

Since it was the special operations forces who made these requests, the police’s wanted order was quickly disseminated out to the whole country.

After the Traffic Control Bureau’s procedures were completed, the special operations force staff quickly located the location of the 18-wheeler truck driver through his cell phone signal.

He was playing poker with his colleagues in the rest area near the capital highway.

Because the capital highway had suddenly been blocked for a few hours, he had not been able to depart the area.

He was now able to drive off, but there was a long line of vehicles waiting at the place where he left the highway. The traffic police searched car by car, and the line moved even slower than a turtle.

His vehicle was too big, and he was in the back of the line. He was unable to move his vehicle for a long time. Hence, he could only head to the rest area to eat, drink, and play poker.

When the staff of the special operations forces followed the two policemen into the rest area, he had just drawn a pair of kings. He threw them out excitedly. “… bang!”

“Raise your hands! Don’t move!” the policeman had been on his toes that day. As soon as he walked over, he heard someone say ‘bang’. Immediately, his scalp went numb and he swiftly pulled out his gun and aimed it at the 18-wheeler truck driver.

The truck driver was instantly dumbfounded. He raised a hand and sat there motionlessly. With a downcast expression written on his face, he said, “… I was just playing cards. Brother Policeman, are you being serious?”

The staff member of the special operations forces coughed behind him and asked, “Are you Jia Ting, the 18-wheeler truck driver with the license plate number XXXXXXXX?”

Jia Ting, the 18-wheeler truck driver who had been born at the wrong time, quickly nodded. “I am, I am! I am the driver! Brother policeman, can you put down your gun… I am a really a law-abiding citizen!”

The corner of the policeman’s mouth twitched. He sheepishly tucked his gun away and said embarrassedly, “Don’t talk nonsense. Do you know what happened today? How could you say ‘bang’? Pay attention to the impact of your words!”

Jia Ting let out a sigh of relief. He smiled and tossed the card aside. He stood up and asked the two staff members in black uniforms standing behind the policeman, “What are your names? Are you looking for me?”

The staff member of the Special Operations Forces took out his ID and flashed it at Jia Ting. “We are staff members of the special operations forces. We would like to invite you to our base for a cup of tea and a chat.”

Jia Ting’s face instantly turned pale.

He did not seem to have heard of this department before, but the moment he heard the name, he could sense that it was a particularly powerful department.

He spoke sadly, “Comrades, I really haven’t done anything bad! I’m an official employee of an oil company. I know that people hate our oil company because it has caused you to lose a lot of money in the stock market, but that has nothing to do with me, a lowly truck driver… it’s all the leaders’ fault, it’s none of my business!”

What the hell was going on!

The police couldn’t stand it anymore and prodded him on the back. They said, “Don’t think too much. We just want you to assist in the investigation. Why are you dismissing us in such a hurry if you haven’t done anything bad!”

Jia Ting, “Are you sure I’ll just be assisting in the investigation?”

“Of course I am.” the staff member of the special operations forces smiled kindly. “If you weren’t meant to assist in the investigation, we wouldn’t have invited you to have tea with us.”

Jia Ting’s mood instantly improved.

“… We will have a direct arrest warrant, so we’ll have to handcuff you.” the staff member of the special operations forces made a hand gesture.

Jia Ting’s face darkened again.

If that was the case, he might as well not say it!

He muttered to himself as he followed the staff of the special operations forces into their car. Before he got into the car, he even sent a video to his family. In the video, he said, “Dad, Mom, Yan Zi. The Special Operations Forces have asked me to assist in their investigation. If you can’t contact me within an hour, call the police immediately!”

When the police heard that, their faces turned even darker than his.

This person’s level of vigilance was extraordinary!

They were even worried that they were swindlers who had kidnapped him.

“Go on. Why don’t you look in the mirror? Are you worth being swindled by others? Are you rich, good-looking, or talented? You really don’t know what you’re talking about…” the police muttered and closed the car door.

Jia Ting was extremely embarrassed.

You can’t just hit someone in the face. Was this a way to criticize someone?

He poked his head out of the Special Operations Forces’ private car and shouted loudly to the policeman, “I’m not rich, good-looking, or talented. But I have a kidney!”

What if he was tricked into selling his kidney?

The staff of the Special Operations Forces couldn’t listen on anymore. They closed the car window forcefully, cutting off the divergent thinking of the driver of the 18-wheeler truck who happened to have a very rich imagination.

The police officer outside was amused by him. He shouted at the window, “So what if you have a kidney? You look like you have a weak kidney! Other people wouldn’t look for you even if they sold organs!”

Fortunately, the window was closed. Jia Ting didn’t hear what the police officer was saying.

He wanted to ask more questions, but the two special operations force staff members didn’t say anything else after they got into the car. They didn’t speak again until they reached the headquarter of Special Operations Forces’ encampment ground.

They arrived at the interrogation room of the headquarter and Yin Shixiong arrived to question him personally.

Huo Shaoheng stood in the room next to the interrogation room and stared at the driver of the 18-wheeler, Jia Ting, through the one-way glass wall.

He appeared to be in his thirties. He had a buzz cut and big eyes. He looked honest and law-abiding, but he was extremely talkative. Only Yin Shixiong was able to restrain him.

“Comrade, didn’t you say you wanted to treat me to tea? Is this what you mean by tea?” he stared at the teacup with a look of disdain.

“What? Are you complaining that we haven’t served you Wuyi Rock Tea for you to drink?” Yin Shixiong glanced at his materials without raising his head. “I’m sorry, our unit’s budget is limited. We only have plain tea leaves boiled in water.”

Jia Ting’s eyes widened. “No way? Didn’t they say that departments like yours are especially rich?”

Yin Shixiong almost choked on his words. He raised his head and glared at him. “Who told you that? You have to bear the legal responsibility for spreading rumors.”

After hearing that he would have to bear legal responsibility, Jia Ting became obedient and wiped his mouth. He said, “Alright, may I ask why you are looking for me? You should have told me earlier. I still have to deliver the goods. This time, I will be delayed. You have to give me a letter of proof to show that it was not my intention to be late, but rather, an obligation I had to fulfill by assisting the police officers in their investigation.”

“Well, you don’t have to worry about that.” Yin Shixiong went straight to the point. “Let me ask you, where were you at around nine o’clock this morning?”

Jia Ting thought for a moment. “Nine o’clock? I think I was driving towards Third Ring Road? Yes, it should be the Third Ring Road… Why?”

“Take a look at this video.” Yin Shixiong played the video. “Can you explain how the four cars came out at that time? From your angle, you should have been able to see it very clearly, right?”

Jia Ting watched the video for a while and was baffled. He said, “How would I know that? There were so many cars at that intersection. How would I know where they came from?”

“You really don’t remember?”

“It’s not that I don’t remember, I really didn’t see it.” Jia Ting took out his cell phone. “I was talking to my family at that time. Look at my phone records. Look at the time on the video. I was making a call.”

Yin Shixiong took the phone expressionlessly and said first, “It’s illegal to use your phone while driving.”

“Ah? Oh, sorry, Sorry. I won’t do it again.”Jia Ting dabbed the sweat on his forehead and kept apologizing.

Yin Shixiong looked at his phone. At the time shown on the video, the driver was indeed on the phone.

Therefore, he had been multitasking at that time and probably did not see how the four cars got out.

Yin Shixiong threw his phone back and placed his hands on the square table in front of him. He said, “Think about it carefully. You truly did not see anything? Even if you were making a phone call, don’t you big truck drivers always keep an eye on everything that is happening on the road?”

Jia Ting scratched his head and thought carefully for a while. He hesitated and said, “Actually, there was something wrong. It would have been better if you didn’t ask. But since you have asked, I shall tell you. I don’t know if you would believe me.”

“Oh?” Yin Shixiong lowered. He appeared very amiable. “Tell me. I’ll discern if you can be trusted.”

Jia Ting held his hands and felt a little uneasy. He lowered his eyes and said, “I remember that there was something wrong. But I’m not saying that I saw those four black cars.”

“What are those?”

“You know, we drive big trucks. We often travel through the night, and it’s common for us to feel sleepy during the day. But at that time, my head swayed. It was either because I was sleepy or that I suddenly had a severe headache. So I stepped on the brake.”

This should be the minute when the 18-wheeled truck suddenly blocked the video surveillance.

Yin Shixiong became excited. “Suddenly had a headache? What kind of headache?”

“It’s… It’s like someone stabbed my head with a needle.” Jia Ting rubbed his hands, he smiled fawningly. “But I’ll be fine soon. It doesn’t hurt anymore. If you guys didn’t show me this surveillance video, I would have forgotten about it.”
