Diary of a Criminal Investigator

Chapter 162: Petty Theft


Although Lu Chuan is a member of the special task force, he did not participate in the subsequent arrest operation.

As a technical police officer, Lu Chuan's strength is best utilized in the office, not on the front lines.

However, Lu Chuan had a different view on this. After all, having mastered basic fighting skills and on-site shooting skills, Lu Chuan was confident that his combat abilities were no less than Zhang Hui and others.

In addition, considering previous experiences and lessons, Lu Chuan felt he had the strength to train on the front line.

Kunlun District.

Haizhou City's largest commercial residential area, with a total resident population exceeding 100,000, and even two subway stations.

The entire district is divided into twenty-eight zones, with dozens of buildings in each zone.

"Position one ready."

"Position two ready."

"Position three ready."

In the headset, all the planned ambush points were ready.

"Entrance to the underground parking garage, target has entered the underground garage... All units prepare... Action!"

A white BMW SUV slowly drove into the district parking garage. After the target parked and got out of the car, Ren Qiang issued the arrest order!

Three teams, two people in each team, surged forward from behind the car, in front, and from the main driving direction.

The driver, who had just left the BMW, was tackled to the ground before he realized what was happening.

"Zhang Kun? Are you Zhang Kun?"

"What are you doing? I'm a lawyer! I'm a lawyer! Let me go! Let me go!"

"Don't move! Police!"

"Are you Zhang Kun?!"

"Yes..."

Upon hearing it was the police, Zhang Kun's resistance immediately weakened.

"Even the police can't just arrest people without a warrant, can they?"

"Why are you arresting me?"

Ren Qiang put away his gun, grabbed the man's collar, as Zhang Hui handcuffed him, and sneered, "You're a lawyer, don't you know what you've done and what laws you've broken?"

"Team one, search the vehicle; team two, search the house upstairs!"

Meanwhile, Sun Jun's team had just completed an arrest in a commercial building.

These people might be good at playing with crossbows themselves, but against fully armed police, they couldn't last even a moment.

Tianzhou City.

"Brother Qiang, is everything ready on this side?"

The entire hunting crime organization had thirteen members in total.

These people came from various professions.

Including lawyers, civil servants, fish sellers, private business owners, and even two doctors.

Initially, there were only four people in the organization; over the years, it had grown to thirteen through introductions by members within the group.

Wang Qi was the first to be captured, followed by the arrest of eleven out of the remaining twelve.

Now, only one remains, the initiator of the organization, nicknamed Wang San.

"Rest assured, everything is foolproof on this side in Tianzhou City. Just waiting for him to get off work."

In front of the emergency department of the Third People's Hospital, Wang Jingshan was greeting his colleagues.

"Goodbye, Director Wang."

"Hello, Director Wang, working overtime again today?"

"Goodbye, goodbye."

Wang Jingshan greeted each one: "How can there be no overtime in the emergency department, unlike you guys in the dentistry department, earning more without overtime."

"Haha, that's easy for you to say, but I'm also working overtime today."

Chief dentist Chen Hao grinned widely: "There was a full-mouth implant case today, so it took a bit longer."

"But you, leaving early today, not like your usual style..."

The emergency department is famously known for frequent overtime work.

After a shift, people are exhausted, and in most cases, they still have to put in overtime.

A half-day is already minimal; putting in a twenty-four-hour shift is commonplace.

The dentistry department is quite different.

Overtime is rare, and when there is, it's that kind of case Chen Hao mentioned, a full-mouth implant, one costs ten thousand, thirty-two teeth.

No wonder Director Chen Hao himself is working overtime.

Who wouldn't want to make money?

Just as they were finishing their conversation, six or seven people rushed out from the side and tackled Wang Jingshan.

"Who are you people? This is a hospital..."

"Don't move, police!"

Upon hearing it was the police, Chen Hao immediately fell silent and stepped aside.

"Wang Jingshan, you're under arrest!"

Wang Jingshan, who was tackled, made no struggle because he couldn't get up.

A puddle of water under him emitted a foul smell.

"Wang Jingshan, were you this cowardly when you were killing people in the hills?"

The person leading the arrest was Zhao Ming, the action team leader of the Tianzhou City Criminal Investigation Team, whom Lu Chuan also knew.

The man was caught, and next was to escort him back to Haizhou City.

"Old Zhao, well done."

Everyone else had confessed, and now only the mastermind remained.

Finishing this person would mean the case was thoroughly solved.

"No need to thank me, just sign when it's done, and the person is yours."

Time to head back.

End of February.

It's been more than half a month since the Temple King Mountain case.

All follow-up work has been completed.

This crime syndicate was involved in far more cases than anyone had imagined.

Through separate interrogations of the thirteen members, it has been confirmed that seven missing persons cases are linked to the crime syndicate.

However, it will take time to finalize the case.

There are ten victims in the seven cases.

But at this point, none of their bodies have been found.

Qin Yong has organized search teams based on the locations provided by the syndicate.

However, with four areas involved—Temple King Mountain, Sunwu Mountain, Beihang Mountain, and Big River Port—it is clearly not something that can be completed in a day or two.

What's more, the earliest case dates back twelve years.

After twelve years, and with the possibility of the bodies being scavenged by wild animals, it's uncertain whether even the bones will remain.

Nevertheless, with the testimonies of the thirteen people, there's no escaping who's responsible and who committed the murders.

Huaguang Street.

Lu Chuan and his old classmate Yang Lin were on patrol.

This is a new regulation set by the municipal bureau this year, requiring all logistics detectives to partner with police stations for patrol work every month.

"Chuan, you're incredible. It's been such a short time, and you've already received a first-class merit."

Word of Lu Chuan's first-class merit had spread in the class group chat long ago.

"Who am I? The future bigwig in the police force, getting a merit is a piece of cake."

Lu Chuan tossed him a Chunghwa cigarette, smiling smugly.

In front of old classmates, it seemed there was no need to hide emotions.

"Tsk!"

Yang Lin naturally gave Lu Chuan a middle finger.

Earning a merit is enough, but showing off...

"Dinner's on you tonight."

"No problem!"

About a month had passed since the Spring Festival, the weather was gradually warming, and more people were appearing on the streets.

Huaguang Street was a bustling area, with even more foot traffic.

Where there's a large crowd, there's usually petty crime.

Yang Lin usually managed to catch one or two pickpockets each week.

"Chuan, later let's go to the station, help me with a case."

"What's up?"

"Our station chief's electric bike was stolen."

Hmm?

"Which thief had the guts to steal from the head of the police station?"

Lu Chuan was also familiar with Huaguang Street police station chief Huang Jianmin.

His own electric bike getting stolen, and they haven't caught the thief yet.

If word got out, it would surely be laughed at for half a year.
