Having worked at a grassroots police station for decades, what kind of cases haven't I seen?

In this situation, it's basically just pyramid schemes, insurance sales, or a den of thieves.

However, such a high-end den of thieves is indeed rare.

Petty theft, though not a big case, usually involves small amounts of money, but it can't withstand a large number of occurrences.

Moreover, the cost of breaking the law is low. If caught, they'd be detained for a couple of days, come out, and continue their activities. After all, it's a business without capital, and there's food and drink while inside. Experienced offenders are long used to it.

Therefore, in many places and at many times, such petty thievery is hard to eradicate.

Over time, it may develop into gang operations.

Some shrewd long-time thieves gradually transform into major thieves.

It's not about stealing more valuable items, but organizing scattered opportunists, setting up training classes, and becoming a principal.

The thief trade, albeit a low entry barrier, isn't completely without a threshold.

Huang Jianmin has personally dismantled multiple thief dens. Some experienced seniors would teach apprentices at the den and assign them territories.

Train stations, bus stations, large malls, etc., are all their ideal spots to strike.

Depending on the traffic, the difficulty of success varies, and different apprentices are assigned different areas. Performance is then assessed based on achievements and submissions.

However, previously dismantled dens were mostly in abandoned factories or unfinished buildings.

Even self-built house communities were rare; this time it's actually in a high-end villa area, expected to be difficult to break even.

As for pyramid schemes, since Wu Degui can fetch packages himself, it's unlikely to be pyramid schemes either.

"Master, should we arrest them?"

Yang Lin's eyes filled with light.

This case, whatever is finally investigated, is his case anyway.

The first clue was discovered by him.

As for Lu Chuan's fingerprint identification and analysis, that's technical work; he talks about on-site, front-line.

There is video evidence of Wu Degui stealing an electric bike. Although it's blurry, it proves the unsuccessful theft's handlebar fingerprints were his.

Combining Lu Chuan's fingerprint identification and analysis, Wu Degui definitely can't escape.

"Wu Degui certainly can't escape this, round up everyone else and interrogate them later."

Yang Lin's suggestion wasn't a bad one.

However, even if Wu Degui is caught and admits to stealing the electric bike, he'll just be detained for a few days.

The background matters may not be fully disclosed.

From the crime method, it's evident that this Wu Degui is a seasoned rogue.

Information from the City Gate Police Station also shows this guy treats detention like his home.

For people like this, regular interrogation methods are virtually useless.

It's very difficult to extract information.

"We can't make a move yet."

Huang Jianmin decides not to arrest for now: "With him here, he definitely won't run, let's monitor for now."

"But I impersonated a courier and called to say someone from his hometown Taicang County sent him a delivery."

"As long as Wu Degui checks with his family, he'll find something wrong."

"No problem," Huang Jianmin shook his head: "You used your phone to make the call, right?"

"Just call again and say you got the wrong person, dialed the wrong number, it was another person surnamed Wu, and ask him to return the package to the Half Past Eight Supermarket."

Lu Chuan was listening the whole time, or rather, learning.

Indeed, older is wiser.

Yang Lin apparently learned another trick, his eyes shining: "Alright, I'll change into the courier clothes and call him."

This is the advantage of seniors.

Maybe their skills are lacking, maybe their capabilities are not enough, but when it comes to experience, the slip of their tongue is enough for the juniors to learn for a while.

Twenty minutes later, Wu Degui appeared at the entrance of the Half Past Eight Supermarket again.

"Boss, took the wrong package, the damn courier dialed the wrong number."

Wu Degui cursed: "I said, how could my family send me anything... thought my father came back from the grave..."

Wearing a blue down jacket, Wu Degui turned up his hood and headed back to the villa area.

Outside the villa area, a Cayenne parked by the roadside, Lu Chuan, Yang Lin, and Old Luo were smoking.

Huang Jianmin went back to the station, leaving Old Luo with Yang Lin for surveillance.

"Brother Luo," Lu Chuan casually took out a pack of Zhonghua cigarettes from the armrest and handed it to Old Luo: "Are we just waiting here?"

"Hey, hey! Thanks, leader!"

Old Luo was very polite to Lu Chuan, calling him leader in every sentence.

"Brother Luo, I'm no leader, you're welcome to call me Lu Chuan or Lu. Yang Lin and I were dorm mates in college."

Receiving the Zhonghua cigarette, Old Luo nodded: "Then I won't be polite, but we all heard about you making a big contribution last time."

"About Old Zheng's matter... Thank you."

"Do you know Zheng Bin?"

Old Luo nodded: "Back in the day, he, I, and Ren Qiang from the team, we were all in the same year."

Lu Chuan nodded. Zheng Bin indeed joined the force the same year as Ren Qiang, and it turns out Old Luo joined the same year as well.

Talking about Zheng Bin and Ren Qiang's matters, they became familiar.

"Now we can only wait. The information on the residents inside is only partially held by the neighborhood committee and property management, we need to find out more."

"But don't worry, I've already talked to the property's security, the surveillance near Villa No. 12 is always on. If someone comes out, they'll notify us first."

A phone buzz interrupted, and Old Luo answered it with a surprised smile: "Look who it is, speak of the devil."

"Manager Sun?"

"Brother Luo, a woman in a white down coat with long hair came out of Villa No. 12..."

"She's already out of the gate!"

Hanging up, a woman in a white down coat appeared at the villa gate.

She hailed a taxi, ready to leave.

"Should we follow?"

There were only three of them on surveillance, with Lu Chuan's Cayenne as their vehicle.

Now, it was clear that Old Luo's experience was richer.

"Follow her!"

The people in the villa won't escape, first follow the one going out to see what's up.

Lu Chuan had little experience in this area, starting the car straight away.

Tailgating, it's both simple and troublesome.

If you're following in a police car, anyone could notice.

But following in a Cayenne...

That's not tailing, that's just being in someone's way.

The woman got off at Xinlong Seafood Market: "Yang Lin, come with me, Lu, stay in the car."

Said Old Luo, opening the car door and heading towards the market with Yang Lin.

In less than ten minutes, they came out.

This time, Old Luo sat in the front passenger seat, Yang Lin went to the back: "Follow the blue taxi in front."

"Brother Luo, how did it go?"

Lu Chuan did not enter the market, so he wasn't aware of what happened inside.

However, looking at Old Luo and Yang Lin's expressions, it was faintly evident they seemed to have caught a big fish.
