What's wrong with this lawyer?!

Chapter 166: Chapter 94: How Did I Become a Suspect?_4

Internships and work tasks are two different things.

"It's what the school told us to say, that vice principal named Huo Ming, he often says this, we must try our best not to let the students escape, yes, the principal also mentioned it during a meeting before..."

The time had come to the next morning, Thursday.

The compulsory measures against several teachers had already been converted to criminal detention.

They were directly implemented, escape was definitely not an option.

According to regulations, within twenty-four hours of criminal detention, the families and work units of the detained suspects must be notified.

This is also standard procedure, otherwise, if someone suddenly disappeared, the families would have to try to find them.

However, there is a special circumstance where if notifying the families and units could hinder the investigation, the notification can be delayed until the reason for the hindrance is resolved, and then promptly inform the families.

The current issue was that the police authority could not yet notify anyone because they still needed to bring back the vice principal and principal of the academy.

Based on the current situation, these two individuals were highly suspect; if their families were notified and caused a commotion at the school, it could cause a leak, and what if the suspects ran away.

In Guanning District, the police officers in charge of the case had already set off for Lüzhou.

Meanwhile, at the Lüzhou Wufang Vocational Technical School, Huo Ming was already sitting in his office; he usually lived on campus.

Just then, the office phone rang, and Huo Ming casually picked it up, "Hello?"

"Hello, I am from Guanning Branch of the Dongfang City, Jiangguang Province's Public Security Bureau, is this the Lüzhou Wufang Vocational Technical School?"

Generally speaking, we can't tell much from police calls unless we clearly ask about the caller's unit, badge number, and then check by calling the emergency hotline.

After all, calls from the public security won't show up as such, and sometimes the investigating officers use their personal phones, making them hard to recognize.

But Huo Ming was different; he had previous dealings with the public security authorities in Dongfang City.

After all, concerning internships, they were all a group of normal seventeen or eighteen-year-olds.

During an internship, suddenly someone gets pregnant; that's when problems arise.

Some will call the police, and the police will contact the school.

So Huo Ming just said, "Yes, that's right, may I ask what it's about?"

"Well, there's something we need the school to cooperate with in our investigation. Are you currently at the school? Is the principal there?"

"Principal Mou is not at school, but I can notify him if there's an issue," Huo Ming replied with some relief.

Policemen who dare to knock on your door usually aren't fakes.

"Then please inform Principal Mou. We should be visiting the school tomorrow morning. We hope Principal Mou and Principal Huo can cooperate with us then, okay?"

The other party did not specify what they needed cooperation with, and Huo Ming did not ask; he felt that he understood well enough that it was pointless to question matters regarding the public security bureau.

On the other end, a detective hung up the phone and said, "Confirmed, they're all there. How much longer until our people arrive in Lüzhou?"

"At least not until tonight. We've already spoken with Lüzhou; they will cooperate when we get there."

After all, this case isn't considered a major or critical one, so don't expect to travel by plane; having high-speed trains is already good enough.

On Friday morning, Mou Chunlai looked at Huo Ming and said, "We've already had three rounds of tea, how come they still haven't arrived?"

Huo Ming shook his head, "I don't know, they just told us to wait; they said they'd come in the morning, but didn't specify what for."

At that moment, the phone rang again.

"Hello, Principal Mou and I are both in the office. You're coming over now? Okay, we'll wait."

After hanging up, Huo Ming said, "Alright, Principal Mou, they said they'll be here soon, they're on the way."

Twenty minutes later, the security guard called to say that the police wanted to come in, so Huo Ming and Mou Chunlai went to meet them at the entrance.

"Principal Huo, they said they're coming in for investigation," the security guard pointed to the police car at the entrance.

"Quick, quick, let them in!" Huo Ming hastily ordered.

The police car was allowed in, and a few local police officers from Lüzhou looked around before getting out of the car.

"Huo Ming, Mou Chunlai, you are suspected of the crime of forced labor and are now being summoned for criminal investigation under the law. Let's go!"

Hmm... Huh?

The two of them looked at the policemen in front of them, then at the summons in their hands, both puzzled.

"What do you mean I forced labor, wait, you need to make this clear to me!" Mou Chunlai shouted.

As he spoke, he pulled out his cell phone, intending to call the education authorities; how could they just arrest someone out of the blue?

However, the officers from the Ningyu District Branch of Lüzhou city assisting with the arrest stepped forward and quickly restrained Mou Chunlai.

"Stay still and don't resist!"

The pain in his arm made Mou Chunlai realize the seriousness of the situation, but... what was this about a suspected crime of forced labor? Who had they forced?

The security guards were somewhat stunned. The leaders had made a special trip to the door to notify them to let the police in, only to be taken away by them?
