MPS Police Station
" What's this?" Ying Jie found a note in the mail and picked it up.
Unknown: "I'll be robbing the Beijing Guwan Cheng today at 10:30 P.m"
" Commissioner! Commissioner!" Ying Jie yelled out the commissioner's name.
" Why are you yelling, Ying Jie? What happened?" Lui Xiang asked Ying Jie in a concerned tone.
" Commissioner, I found this in the mail". Ying Jie handed the written note to Commissioner Beiyang.
"I'll be robbing the Beijing Guwan Cheng today at 10:30 P.m" Commissioner Beiyang read the written note.
" He finally shows himself. Gentlemen, we must be ready to greet him. He made fun of the investigative police. He will pay for that". Commissioner Beiyang spoke out in an assertive tone.
Somewhere in the shadows
Unknown: Today should be fun. I hope I'll find what I'm looking for.
Li Imperial Palace
" My brother always comes to me for advice. My brother and I share a special bond. You must share the same kind of bond with your father, right?" I asked the young prince in an interrogative tone.
Prince Li Wei:?
" It's okay! I won't put any kind of pressure on you. I won't force you to do anything you don't wish to". I said in a reassuring tone.
Prince Li Wei:?
" Why don't we go for a walk?" I asked the young prince in an interrogative tone.
Prince Li Wei:?
Li Imperial Garden
" Look at the landscape! Isn't it beautiful?" I asked the young prince.
Prince Li Wei (Scribble): It's so beautiful! I never saw such a beautiful landscape before. It's so pretty!
" Prince Wei, can I ask you something?" I asked the young prince suddenly.
Prince Li Wei (Scribble): Of course!
" Is it your first time outside of the royal palace?" I asked the young prince in an interrogative tone.
Prince Li Wei:?
" You don't need to answer if you don't want to". I said in a reassuring tone.
Prince Li Wei (Scribble): Yes! I never went out before. This is my first time out of the royal palace.
" Thank you!" I said thankfully.
Prince Li Wei (Scribble): What for?
" For confiding in me. Thank you for that! Let's go back!" I said with a smile.
MPS Police Station
" Our thief will be at Beijing Guwan Cheng at 10:30 P.m. We need to be there in advance. We need to be extra careful if we want to catch him. That was all. You are all dismissed". Commissioner Beiyang spoke out in an assertive tone.
(Commissioner Beiyang exits the room).
" Ying Jie, Why did you go outside?" Xu Lifang whispered.
" Nothing! I just went outside to make a call to my sister, that's all. I wanted her opinion on the case". I replied.
" You talked to your sister about the case? Why did you tell her about it? You have divulged information that was supposed to remain secret". Xu Lifang asked interrogatively.
" What are you trying to imply? Are you trying to imply that my sister could be the masked thief, or maybe she knows the real identity of the masked thief and is keeping it a secret? Is that what you're trying to say?" Ying Jie asked angered.
" I never said that. Don't misunderstand my words!" Xu Lifang said to Ying Jie.
" I don't know what you were trying to say and I don't want to know. Don't ever make these kinds of allusions towards my little sister? In our job, it's essential to keep professional secrecy. My sister knows it better than anyone else. If you'll excuse me, I need to get ready for tonight. I'll leave first. See you at 10:30 P.m". Ying Jie walked out from there in anger.
(Ying Jie exits the room).
" Why did you say that to him? Look what you've done? Ying Jie has always been a quiet and composed person, but today, because of you, he raised his voice for the very first time. Just so you know, his sister is all for him and he can't bear to see her suffer. If I were you, I would apologize to him right away. The sooner, the better". Lui Xiang said in a suggestive tone.
Li Imperial Palace
" Prince Wei, it's getting late. I have to go. See you tomorrow, Prince Wei!" I stood up and grabbed my bag.
Prince Li Wei(Scribble): Wait! Don't go! Stay a bit longer!
" Sure, Prince Wei! If you want me to stay, I'll stay. I'll stay here as long as you want". I said with a smile.
Prince Li Wei (Scribble): Thank you!
I heard my phone buzzed once more and picked it up without wasting an instant.
Imperial Nanny Ying Yue
" Brother! Hello! I'm so popular today thanks to you. You called me twice on the same day. Are you home yet?"
Police Detective Ying Jie
"Not yet! I just called to let you know I'll be home late. Don't wait for me!"
Imperial Nanny Ying Yue
" What's wrong, brother? Your voice doesn't seem like usual. Did something happen at work?"
Police Detective Ying Jie
" That was all! I'll hang up now!"
Imperial Nanny Ying Yue
" Wait! Hello! Hello!"
(What's gotten into him? He never hung up on me before. Something might have happened. Something that put him in a bad mood. I need to do something, or it might affect his work. My brother is usually so composed. He never gets angry or gets into a fight. I wonder who's the idiot who made him so angry. If I find him, I won't spare him).
MPS Police Station
Imperial Nanny Ying Yue
" Hello! May I speak to commissioner Mu Beiyang, please?"
Police Detective Lui Xiang
" Commissioner! There's a call for you. There's a pretty girl on the line".
Commissioner Mu Beiyang
" A pretty girl? It's so hard to be popular. Transfer the call to my office!.
The call was transferred per Commissioner Beiyang's demand.
Commissioner Mu Beiyang
Hello! Commissioner Mu Beiyang speaking! What can I do for you, young lady?"
Imperial Nanny Ying Yue
"Hello, Commissioner Beiyang! My name's Ying Yue! I'm the youngest sister of officer Ying Jie".
Commissioner Mu Beiyang
" You're officer Ying Jie's sister? How may I be of assistance?"
Imperial Nanny Ying Yue
" I need you to pass a message for me to my brother".
The commissioner listened to the message attentively.
Commissioner Mu Beiyang
"Okay, I'll give him the message".
Imperial Nanny Ying Yue
" Thank you very much, Commissioner Beiyang!"
(Ying Yue and Commissioner Mu Beiyang hang up the call).
Commissioner Mu Beiyang
" Officer Ying Jie, come to my office!"
Police Detective Ying Jie:
"I'll be right there!"
Knock! Knock! Knock!
" Enter!" Commissioner Beiyang granted permission.
" Commissioner Beiyang, you wanted to see me?" Ying Jie asked the commissioner.
" Officer Ying Jie, I called you to my office to pass a message to you". Commissioner Beiyang said in an assertive tone.
" A message?" Ying Jie asked interrogatively.
" Someone loves you very much. She was so worried about you that she called the police station to talk to me. She passed on to me the following words: "Fight! Fight! If you don't, I'll never forgive you". Commissioner Beiyang passed on the message to Officer Ying Jie.
Ying Jie smiled listening to the message as he knew who it was coming from.
" I get it, commissioner. Thank you! I feel much better now". Ying Jie said with a smile.
" That's good to know! Go and get ready! We're leaving in an hour!" Commissioner Beiyang spoke out in an assertive tone.
(Ying Jie exits the room).
Commissioner Beiyang's Office Exit
That message? A coded message as always. That sister of mine! Ying Jie silently smiled to himself.
An hour later
Beijing Guwan Cheng
" We're here! Let's go inside!" Commissioner Beiyang spoke out in an assertive tone.
Beijing Guwan Cheng Conference Room
" We'll stay hidden! He won't be able to escape our vigilance. There are ultra lasers everywhere. If he tries to go into force, the security alarms will alert us. In conclusion, he will find himself trapped and helpless". Ying Jie spoke out in an assertive tone.
" That's a great idea, Ying Jie! We'll follow your instructions and do as you said". Commissioner Beiyang said in an assertive tone.
" Thank you, Commissioner Beiyang!" Ying Jie said thankfully.
" You seem to be in a better mood after receiving the message". Commissioner Beiyang noticed Ying Jie's mood swing.
A message? Lui Xiang wondered to himself.
On the other side
Unknown: I'm finally here. Looks like they came well prepared. Fools! Do you think you'll catch me this way? I've come all this way. I may as well play a little bit with you guys, Police Detectives. There are ultra lasers everywhere, but that won't stop me.
It was pretty easy to escape those ultra lasers! The unknown avoided the ultra lasers one by one.
Beijing Guwan Cheng Conference Room
" I forgot to mention something extremely important about the ultra lasers". Ying Jie said suddenly.
" Something important about the ultra lasers?" Lui Xiang asked in an interrogative tone.
" Yes! One of the ultra lasers is different from all the others. Our thief is very smart and I knew he would succeed in passing the ultra lasers. That's why I put in a trapping laser". Ying Jie said in a conning voice.
" A trap laser?" Commissioner Beiyang asked interrogatively.
" I made it look the same as the other lasers. There's not much difference if you look at it. Even if our thief were to pass them, the trapping laser will automatically flash. That's why I called it a trapping laser". Ying Jie said with a conniving smile.
On the other side
Unknown: What's this? Why is it flashing? Oh no! It's a trap! A trap laser! They knew I was already inside this whole time. They trapped me. I need to get out of here or else, I'll be caught.
Beijing Guwan Cheng Conference Room
Meanwhile, Commissioner Beiyang and the others were observing the whole scene through surveillance cameras in the conference room.
" It happened exactly as you said. Good job, Ying Jie!" Commissioner Beiyang said in a praising tone.
" It's way too soon to thank me. Let's catch him!" Ying Jie spoke out in an assertive tone.
" Everyone, after him!" Commissioner Beiyang gives the command.
Beijing Guwan Cheng, Exit
" I'll catch you today. You won't escape my vigilance". Ying Jie ran after the thief.
Unknown: I can't get caught today. I haven't accomplished my mission yet.
" Stop right there!" I yelled out.
Unknown: Hello there, Police Detective Ying Jie!
" How do you know my name?" I asked questionably.
Unknown: I know much more about you than you think. By the way, how's your sister doing?
" How do you know my sister?" Ying Jie asked the thief in a questionable tone.
Unknown: So many questions! Officer Ying Jie, catch!
The thief threw the pieces of jewelry at the officer. Ying Jie caught them.
" She was right! Your intention wasn't to steal from the very beginning. What's your motive behind all those stealing?" Ying Jie asked the thief in an interrogative tone.
Unknown: My motive? I'm looking for someone.
" Just as I thought! Who are you looking for?" Ying Jie asked the thief interrogatively.
Unknown: I'll answer your question next time. So long, Police Detective Ying Jie!
The thief took off and left the officer's in delusions.
" Wait! You can't leave without answering my questions? Come back!" Ying Jie yelled out at the thief.
" Did you catch him?" Commissioner Beiyang catches up to Officer Ying Jie.
" No! He escaped, but he left the jewelry behind". I showed the pieces of jewelry to Commissioner Beiyang.
" You did a great job today, Ying Jie. Let's go back!" Commissioner Beiyang said in a praising tone.
Ying Jie thought intensely at what had just happened not so long ago.
( Who are you? How do you know us?)
