THIS WITCH TRANSMIGRATED INTO THE ROMANTIC NOVEL'S SUPPORTING ROLE - Chapter 201: Serve the People

Chapter 201

“Blogger, since you’re so amazing, do you know what will happen to the residents on that island next?”

“Will those people be safe? Or…”

Someone asked this in the comments of Chu Yang’s Weibo post.

“Who are you? Have you paid for this?”

“Seriously, do you think our blogger just says anything without thought? Even fortune tellers talk about not revealing heavenly secrets. If our blogger casually spills such secrets, wouldn’t you be causing her harm!”

These defenders of Chu Yang were her loyal fans, some of them her clients, who absolutely believed in the Prophecy Little Witch.

Chu Yang later logged in and saw these messages, but she didn’t reply. What could she say? If they could be saved, of course they’d be safe. If not, the consequences were obvious. And of course, the people on that island couldn’t stay there anymore; they might need to leave their homes behind.

These weren’t things Chu Yang could control.

Dong Zhen, the social media manager for the North District Police Station in Jing City, thought this Prophecy Little Witch blogger might actually have something special. Recently, their department had released information about a wanted fugitive in a major case, hoping for leads from the public. But after a long time, no one had come forward with any clues. The department had been following up, but there hadn’t been any progress.

Since that was the case, why not ask her?

No sooner said than done, he directly sent a private message to the Prophecy Little Witch using the official account: “Hello, do you have any leads regarding this major criminal? [Image attached]”

After sending the message, Dong Zhen waited for a reply.

Chu Yang only replied late at night when she was about to sleep. She had to go home tomorrow, so she wanted to sleep early tonight. Chi Yan had wanted to “exercise,” but Chu Yang flatly refused, saying, “Rest well, don’t move around!”

She checked her phone to see if there were any messages from clients and saw that the North District Police Station had actually sent her a message.

Since it was about serving the people, she decided to take a look.

After reading it, Chu Yang immediately replied: “Officer, he’s right across from your house. P.S.: Act quickly, or he’ll escape again soon.”

Dong Zhen, who was on duty, was looking at other cases when his phone buzzed. He glanced at it and saw that the blogger had actually sent him a message.

Dong Zhen immediately opened the message and read it, his face changing dramatically! He had been coming home late recently and, due to heavy workload, wasn’t often at home. He remembered his wife mentioning that someone had moved in next door, a man, but he hadn’t paid much attention and hadn’t met him. After all, he’d come home so late that everyone was asleep, and leave so early that no one was up yet.

“Brother Chen, I have information on the criminal Jiang Da!”

The people discussing the case immediately looked at him with intense gazes. “Dong Zhen? What information?”

“Someone recently moved in across from my house, and it might be him!” His wife and child were still at home, damn it, they could be in danger! He had to get back quickly! “Brother Chen, I need to go home. I’m worried about my family’s safety.”

Chen Chongshan immediately called two officers. “Dong Zhen, we’ll go with you.”

Late at night, the Qingjiang Residential Area was filled with a series of rapid sounds. Faintly, one could hear shouts of “Don’t move!” and “I’ll shoot!”

Many people were woken up by the noise. “What’s going on?”

“Sounds like it’s upstairs?”

“Who is it? Making such a racket? Why all this noise so late at night?”

Zhang Huilan was drowsily awakened by a loud noise outside, and she thought she heard her husband’s voice. Huh? Had her husband come back?

Zhang Huilan walked out of the bedroom, turned on the lights, and opened the door. She was immediately shocked to see her husband grabbing someone. “Honey?”

Dong Zhen quickly handed the criminal over to Chen Chongshan, then pulled Zhang Huilan inside. “Don’t look, we’re arresting a criminal.”

Zhang Huilan’s heart was pounding. “That… the neighbor is a criminal?”

Dong Zhen held her hand to comfort her. “Don’t be afraid, we’ve caught him. It’s alright now. I need to go handle some things and will be back later. Stay home, lock the door, and don’t come out, okay?”

Zhang Huilan nodded, “O-okay. I understand.”

After Dong Zhen left, Zhang Huilan sat on the sofa to rest and calm herself down. Who would have thought that the person who had just moved in recently was actually a criminal? She had even greeted him before. How terrifying!

…

The department was thrilled about catching the major criminal!

“Dong Zhen, where did you get the information?”

“Yeah, did you see the criminal when you went home and just didn’t recognize him? Did you suddenly remember last night? You need to improve your identification skills!”

Dong Zhen scratched his head, “No! I hadn’t even seen the guy. Haven’t I been working overtime lately? I get home so late everyone’s asleep, and leave so early in the morning to come here. I didn’t even know a man had moved in across from us. My wife told me, but I hadn’t met him.”

“Then how did you get the information?”

Dong Zhen suddenly felt a bit embarrassed. “You know that Prophecy Little Witch who’s been popular online recently? I quietly asked her, and she told me.”

Everyone stared at him.

“Really?”

“Damn, is it true? Let’s see!”

“Why don’t we ask her for help again? See about other criminals?”

“What are you all doing? Did you pay her? You think it’s that easy?” Chen Chongshan, standing to the side, dispersed the crowd. “If you have time, go look into other cases outside. Dong Zhen, come here for a moment.”

“Yes, sir.”

After everyone dispersed, Chen Chongshan quietly asked Dong Zhen, “What you just said, is it true?”

Dong Zhen nodded, “Yes, senior. Take a look.”

Dong Zhen showed Chen Chongshan the private messages he had exchanged with the Prophecy Little Witch.

“Did you ask how much it costs? We can reimburse you for the expense. It’s not easy to get a response from such an expert. We shouldn’t bother her again unless absolutely necessary.” Otherwise, they might not have enough money.

“I haven’t asked yet. I’ll do it right away.”

“Alright.”

…

Soon, Dong Zhen told Chu Yang that they had caught the criminal and asked how much they owed her.

Prophecy Little Witch: “It’s a service to the people, no charge. But next time, there will be a fee~”

“Thank you, master. We understand!”

Dong Zhen cheerfully said to Chen Chongshan, “The blogger said it’s free, serving the people! Indeed, the blogger’s consciousness is truly high! I want to follow her, though it might cost money next time.”

Chen Chongshan nodded, “That’s good. Now, get to work.”

“Yes, sir.” 𝑅read latest ch𝒂pters at n/𝒐v(e)lbi𝒏(.)co/m

Meanwhile, Chu Yang was already on her way home. Today was uneventful, except for some traffic congestion; everything else went smoothly.

In the afternoon, she arrived home. This time, Chi Yan had of course brought gifts, but he didn’t dare bring too much to avoid Chu’s Mom’s nagging. Besides, every time he brought things over, Chu’s Mom would also make him take a bunch of stuff back.

He was already quite familiar with Chu Yang’s home, so he didn’t stand on ceremony. He helped himself to some water and washed his hands, as if it were his own home.
