After experiencing too many things during the day, Li Manjun fell into a deep sleep in the hotel.
It wasn't until there was a knock on the door that she woke up from her sleep.
There were intermittent knocks on the door, and it sounded like there were several people outside.
Li Manjun climbed out of bed and opened the door. The safety chain opened and the door opened a crack. Two police officers and a hotel staff member appeared in police uniforms.
Li Manjun was a little confused, "What happened?"
When the two police officers saw her opening the door, they all smiled and reassured her not to be nervous. They were the staff of the police station where Li Manjun called the police yesterday and came to ask her for a favor.
Li Manjun raised his eyebrows and asked excitedly: "Did another thief catch it? Is there any news about my wallet?"
The two shook their heads in embarrassment, "It's already being processed. Our colleagues will contact you as soon as there is news."
Li Manjun suddenly felt disappointed and signaled them to wait. He closed the door again and went back to the house, quickly changed into decent clothes, washed briefly, opened the door, and invited them in to talk.
The two police officers waved their hands, embarrassed to disturb her too much and unwilling to enter the room, so they stood outside the door and explained the matter.
It turned out that we were here for those two old unlucky old foreigners. Yesterday, they said that they had a translator companion and asked the staff to help them contact the companion.
As a result, the staff contacted the person according to the contact information they provided, but they were not contacted at all.
When I found the hotel where they were staying, I realized that they had already left.
The staff found it strange, and after investigation, they found that the so-called companion was a liar who had teamed up with another person to defraud two foreigners of their money.
Subsequently, the embassy sent a lawyer, but the two foreigners now only trusted Li Manjun. The police station had no choice but to follow the contact address left by Li Manjun and come to her for help.
Two police officers told Li Manjun: "Theft, fraud and other crimes have been frequent in this area recently. After investigation, we suspect that this is a large-scale gang. It is very likely that they are all in the same gang."
"So, we hope you can help us cooperate and help our police find useful clues to solve the case as soon as possible."
"It's broken, can I still get my wallet back?" Li Manjun asked curiously.
The two looked embarrassed and told her honestly that it would be difficult to recover losses in her situation.
Cash is highly liquid, and her amount is relatively small. The only way is to wait for her ID card usage information to appear, and then follow the clues to catch the prisoner.
Li Manjun sighed and nodded, indicating that he could go to the police station with them.
"Did you drive here?" Li Manjun rubbed her sore arms, took a nap, and the doctor's massage techniques, she is much better now, but she can't exert any strength.
The two police officers nodded, looked at her worriedly, and even more grateful.
Li Manjun and the two of them came to the police station where they had been yesterday. Joseph and Jack stayed at the police station all night, probably just squinting on the chair for a while. In addition to being deceived, the two of them were in a very bad mental state.
The lawyer sent by the embassy was trying to communicate with them, but the two refused to communicate. They no longer dared to trust anyone. Even when they saw the police, they felt that they might be acting together for the two of them.
Li Manjun's appearance broke the deadlock. As soon as the two of them saw her, they became energetic.
Joseph and Li Manjun said that he now wanted to contact his family, but the Public Security Bureau would not let them call, so they asked Li Manjun to talk to them.
Li Manjun was unable to do anything about this request. She could only calm the two people's emotions and gain more trust from them.
After more than half an hour of communication and comfort, the two were finally willing to cooperate with the police.
Of course, Li Manjun was there the whole time. She just got up to go to the toilet, and Jack grabbed her, looking pitiful as if she was about to be abandoned.
Li Manjun explained that he had to go to the bathroom, and he let go, but immediately stopped answering questions.
Li Manjun sympathized with the two people's experiences and felt helpless at their dependence. After the police and the embassy completed the handover procedures, she immediately said she would go back to the hotel to rest.
The police didn’t know where to place the two of them for the time being. They were now penniless, they didn’t even have documents, they couldn’t even prove that they entered the country legally, and they were unwilling to cooperate in communication. Seeing that they trusted Li Manjun, they told her:
"Li Manjun, the hotel you are staying in can accommodate foreigners. The situation is complicated now. We want to help them find a temporary accommodation first and arrange it in your hotel."
Li Manjun nodded. She understood what they meant. The police officer in charge of her case just now told her that a "good-hearted passerby" had been recruited. After investigation, they found that the person who stole her things and the person who defrauded the two foreigners had something in common.
Contact person, the two cases are currently being investigated concurrently.
Therefore, the police now hope that the two victims will cooperate with the police.
"Let me take them both." Li Manjun looked at the lawyer sent by the embassy and asked him to take the temporary documents he had just obtained for Joseph and the two of them and go with him.
The lawyer left the phone number of the public security bureau, told the embassy, and went to the hotel with Li Manjun and the other three to prove it, and Joseph and Jack were able to legally check into the hotel.
Now, the two can use the hotel phone to call their family members abroad for support.
Li Manjun took advantage of this time to go back to his room and lie down for a long time. He installed the battery on his mobile phone and called his family.
Zhao Yong answered the phone quickly. Li Manjun had not contacted him all day and night, which was not right, so he kept waiting for her call before the phone rang and picked up immediately.
Li Manjun thought for a while and said in a dejected tone: "My wallet was stolen by a thief. I was dealing with the matter at the Public Security Bureau yesterday. I just finished it now. I thought I'd give you a call to let you know."
Because her tone was too casual and she was just a little sad, Zhao Yong did not think of a too dangerous scene and comforted her: "It's just fine if you are fine. If you lose your money, just throw it away. Can you get a replacement for your ID?"
"It can be replaced. Their public security bureau has contacted our Rongcheng Public Security Bureau and reported the loss. Now they can apply for a temporary ID card for me. When I return to Rongcheng, I will go to the local public security bureau to apply for a new ID card."
Li Manjun didn't want to talk more about this matter, so he changed the subject and asked softly: "How are you at home?"
"Everything is fine at home." Zhao Yong was still a little worried, "How about I come to pick you up? Go home first and take a break from work."
The used clothes collected from Shirley Zhong's studio only cost 4,500 yuan, so there was no need to be in such a hurry.
Li Manjun only felt regretful. She was actually thinking about the used clothes export market in the entire province and even the country.
But now that so many things have happened, she is tired, so she might as well go home.
"You don't have to come to pick me up. I'll wait for two more days. If there's no progress with the police, I'll come back."
The main reason was that there were two old hapless people living next door, and she felt a little uncomfortable leaving them alone like this.
