Under the cover of night, the noise at the mouth of the alley provided excellent cover for the task force's capture.

In the area of self-built houses, there was a lot of movement, and the appearance of a dozen unfamiliar faces went unnoticed.

This time, Lu Chuan did not stay in the back but also participated in the capture mission.

Actually, as a tech personnel, Lu Chuan was not obliged to join capture missions.

But as a key contributor to the case, Li Donglin granted Lu Chuan a special approval to participate in all case-handling processes.

Qin Yong naturally did not object.

Lu Chuan indeed needed more training in this area; working as a detective requires more than just working behind the scenes.

Engaging in real action is beneficial for Lu Chuan's future growth and promotion.

However, Qin Yong learned from Lu Chuan's past experience during the Huilong Mountain operation and didn't place him in the direct capture Action Group Two.

Instead, he was placed in Action Group One, where the role was more about vigilance than actual action.

Paired with Wang Shuai, they stood twenty meters from the back door at a barbecue stall.

"Brother Wang, how about two skewers of beef tendon?"

Lu Chuan and Action Group One's Wang Shuai had met during the Maiden Skin case in the Wheat Waves and were now quite familiar with each other.

"Alright, Boss, two more skewers of grilled kidneys, ten of grilled leeks, twenty of grilled meat!"

Clearly, Wang Shuai had much more experience acting than Lu Chuan and was more natural at it.

This time, Lu Chuan learned from the last mission and didn't bring Chunghwa with him.

He took Hongmei cigarettes from Yang Sen's drawer, which hadn't been finished in six months, and handed one to Wang Shuai: "Brother Wang, want one?"

The aroma of the barbecue gradually presented itself, with cumin and fat crackling under the high-temperature flame. Lu Chuan was indeed a bit hungry.

He glanced casually at the building where Wu Congwen lived; near the back door, there were also colleagues from Group One.

At this moment, they were leaning in a tent by the wall, drinking beer and eating peanuts.

The laborers coming off their shifts at night were all like this; frozen but still filled with the breath of life.

Pop!

A crisp sound caught the attention of all the undercover cops on duty by the back door.

Lu Chuan couldn't even take a bite of the skewer he had just put into his mouth.

Soon after, the window on the third floor of the target building shattered.

A mass of shattered glass fell as a dark shadow slammed against it.

Ah!

"Damn, something's happened, go!"

In the dim streetlights of the alley, Wang Shuai threw away the skewer in his hand and drew the loaded handgun from his coat.

"Be careful, they have a gun!"

Gunshots!

Lu Chuan also realized at this moment, they actually have a gun!

The crisp sound earlier was them shooting!

The silhouette jumped from the third floor, mixed with shards of glass falling to the ground.

Crack!

That must be the sound of bones breaking.

Though Lu Chuan had no experience in captures, Wang Shuai did.

At the moment of the window breaking, Wang Shuai rushed out.

At the same time, the two officers sheltering at the back door of the target building also dashed out.

Jumping from three floors, the parabolic landing position placed Wu Congwen right between the two groups.

About ten meters away from either side.

Ten meters, under normal conditions, is just a few strides away.

However, in a life-and-death scenario, ten meters are like a yawning chasm!

Wu Congwen, rolling on the ground, hadn't gotten up yet when Wang Shuai saw the black barrel of a gun being raised toward him.

Damn!

Wang Shuai hurled himself to the side, tearing his gaze from Wu Congwen's advancing form!

Bang!

A crisp gunshot rang out, accompanied by a spurt of blood!

"The target is armed!"

"The target is armed!"

"Zhang Hui's been shot! Zhang Hui's been shot!"

Wang Shuai was shot as he dodged, only then did shouts resound from upstairs.

"Wang Shuai!"

Action Group One colleagues, rushing from the tent by the back door, saw Wang Shuai shot, their eyes filled with fury!

"I'm not dead! Find cover! Quick, find cover!"

Gunfight!

Despite being a detective for thirteen years, Wang Shuai had never actually experienced a gunfight.

All the guns he had ever fired were on the training ground.

The quick pivot he made in the face of danger was the most acute reaction of his many years as a detective when assessing danger.

Nonetheless, he was still shot, a searing pain bursting from his right arm, causing cold sweat to stream from Wang Shuai's forehead.

The detective across seemed experienced too, instantly rolling behind a trash bin at the side of the wall when he heard Wang Shuai's response.

Although it couldn't stop bullets, it at least obstructed Wu Congwen's line of sight.

However, not everyone had Wang Shuai's quick reflexes.

Lu Chuan was just a tech-based detective and really hadn't received much training in this area.

With Wang Shuai forced back by a single shot, now Wu Congwen struggled to stand.

Although jumping from the third floor hadn't killed him, his right leg was likely fractured.

Though escape was unlikely, he had to try.

And in front of him, there was only one obstacle.

Lu Chuan!

When Wang Shuai dodged, Lu Chuan, following behind, became the first facing Wu Congwen directly.

Wang Shuai obviously thought of Lu Chuan too and saw Wu Congwen struggling up, the barrel about to rise.

"Lu Chuan! Get down!"

Bam!

However, before Wang Shuai's voice fell, a gunshot had already rung out!

...

The flashing police lights brightened up the entire alley entrance.

Action Group Two was responsible for capturing Wu Congwen directly, and Zhang Hui was the first one up.

He was also the first to take a bullet.

Wu Congwen's shooting was decent; at that close range, the bullet hit Zhang Hui right in the chest.

If it weren't for the bulletproof vest under his down jacket, Zhang Hui might have been done for.

Now, he was only grimacing in pain.

Wang Shuai had it a bit worse than Zhang Hui.

The bullet, though not hitting a vital area, bit off a piece of his right arm.

And the down jacket he had bought for over eight hundred yuan was ruined.

Inside the ambulance, Wang Shuai, in cold sweat from pain, said: "Brother Sun, when you see Captain Qin later, can you ask if the cost of the down jacket can be reimbursed?"

"Reimburse the down jacket? You're lucky to be alive. Your body is bulletproof, but what about your neck and head?"

Sun Jun, too, had a face of lingering fear at the moment.

Who could have thought that Wu Congwen had a gun!

Any capture operation with or without the target having a gun requires completely different plans.

If they have a gun, most of the time, SWAT teams or even snipers are deployed.

This time, the capture apparently suffered from a lack of intelligence, and the estimation was off, almost causing a catastrophe.

If it weren't for Lu Chuan…

He glanced up outside the ambulance, where Lu Chuan was standing in front of Qin Yong and Li Donglin.

Rewind thirty minutes.

When Wu Congwen rose to confront Lu Chuan, at the moment Wang Shuai shouted for Lu Chuan to duck.

A gunshot rang out.

However, the shooter wasn't Wu Congwen or Ren Qiang watching from the broken window on the third floor.

It was Lu Chuan, who was facing Wu Congwen.

The Type 05 revolver, though not powerful, could still kill.

At the sound of the first shot, Lu Chuan recognized it as gunfire.

A homemade gun firing a 9mm bullet.

His basic On-Site Shooting skill made him very familiar with the sound of all kinds of firearms.

And the earlier shot differed from standard firearms, indicating it was a homemade gun.

Out of instinct, when Wang Shuai turned to charge at the jumping Wu Congwen, Lu Chuan already had the Type 05 revolver out of his coat.

But he did not fire immediately because Wang Shuai was right in front, blocking his line of sight to Wu Congwen.

The basic On-Site Shooting skill made Lu Chuan adept with various firearms but couldn't steer bullets around corners.

If he had fired at that moment, the only one he'd have hit would have been Wang Shuai.

It was only when Wang Shuai saw Wu Congwen aiming to shoot at him and dived that Lu Chuan got a chance to face Wu Congwen.

Here was a timing difference.

Wu Congwen fired at Wang Shuai right after he landed without getting up.

While before Lu Chuan faced Wu Congwen, Wang Shuai was obstructing his view.

Thus, Wu Congwen's shooting was earlier.

But after the first shot, facing Wu Congwen, Lu Chuan was ready.

The rest depended on accuracy!

Bang!

Clearly, the basic On-Site Shooting skill did not disappoint Lu Chuan.

A shot directly hit Wu Congwen's gun-wielding wrist.

The subsequent capture was much simpler.

With Lu Chuan's gun aiming at his head and his right hand incapacitated, Wu Congwen could only obediently be arrested.
