Under the net of heaven and earth, the middle-aged man in a jacket knocked on the door of Villa No. 12.

Cao Wenjun was already waiting in the hall, with Lu Chuan and Yang Lin standing beside him.

"The quality of last week's goods was mediocre, and the buyer was a bit dissatisfied, deliberately pressing down our price."

After entering, the man walked in with an air of superiority, looking down at Cao Wenjun, who was a head shorter than him.

"Don't worry, my craftsmanship is fine. I'll make some improvements next time to ensure the quality is better than before. This is the finished product for this time."

Cao Wenjun didn't know the man's name or occupation, only knew that handing the goods over to him meant getting paid.

The man in the jacket sat on the sofa, nodded slightly, and set his eyes on Lu Chuan and Yang Lin: "Are these two your new recruits?"

Cao Wenjun started to introduce: "Both of them have studied carving, they have a foundation, and they contributed to this batch of goods."

"So they're skilled workers, huh."

The man lifted his eyelids, scanning Lu Chuan and Yang Lin up and down.

The two nodded slightly, gesturing friendliness.

"Alright, I'll take the goods now, the money will be wired to your account in a few days."

"Okay, take care."

Who would think that in this villa area, with an Audi car and a man in a jacket, some smuggling crime is going on.

It's more likely someone's big shot hiding a mistress.

"Brother Hui, the transaction is complete, the person has left, black Audi car, license plate number..."

Lu Chuan watched from the floor-to-ceiling window as the Audi car slowly drove away, pulling out the earpiece from under his collar to report back quickly.

In recent years, investigative equipment has been updated fairly quickly.

Hidden earpieces have become standard for ordinary detectives, replacing the large, phone-sized walkie-talkies that were used before; they're now only used in wide-range searches and no longer in secure settings.

"Received!"

Outside the villa area, Zhang Hui sat in a white Santana, watching the black Audi leave the villa area.

"Follow that car."

This was the plan formulated by Zhang Hui and his team, to disguise as villa area suspects and make contact with the other party.

Then track the contact person, follow the vine to uncover deeper hidden criminals.

To better track, Zhang Hui prepared two cars.

"Overtake, let the car behind follow."

"Yes!"

The driver, a seasoned auxiliary police officer with ten years of experience, had top-notch driving skills, having done countless tailing tasks and even engaged in street racing.

Three police cars had been scrapped in his hands.

Two cars blended into the traffic, alternating positions three times until the other car arrived at its destination.

"How could it be here?"

The white Santana stopped by the roadside, watching the black Audi drive into a large compound.

The gate was guarded by security, saluting when spotting the car.

An upright sign on the gate's wall read: Haizhou City High-tech Zone Import and Export Trading Company.

Zhang Hui sat in the car, bewildered.

He had been here before; a year ago when the Economic Investigation Team was investigating a suspected money laundering case, a murder occurred.

Zhang Hui had come here to investigate because the deceased was an employee of this company.

And this company's background wasn't private; it was part of the High-tech Zone's industry.

Even recalling the Audi driven by the jacket man, he might not just be pretending to be a leader.

Very possibly, he's truly a leader.

"Boss, what should we do?"

What to do, clearly it's not the time to alert the enemy.

"Let's head back."

Conference Room No. 3 of the Criminal Investigation Team.

"This is the information on the license plate I asked the Traffic Police Team to check."

The information on the Audi car was projected on the screen; it was an official vehicle, owned by Haizhou City's High-tech Zone Import and Export Trading Company.

Zhang Hui switched the projection: "Yang Lin just checked this company's website, there's basic information on the leaders, everyone take a look."

Five half-body photos of men in suits appeared on the projection.

The one familiar to everyone was the man in the third position.

"Is that man a leader at the trading company?"

Looking at the familiar face on the projection, Lu Chuan knew they had caught a big fish.

"Should we arrest him?"

Zhang Hui shook his head: "I need to consult Captain Qin, I can't make the decision on this."

If it were an ordinary person, they would've been arrested without a doubt.

But due to the special position of the suspect, how and where to arrest him requires consideration.

Qin Yong's office.

"What you said, is it true?"

"I tailed him myself, our people are now watching from across their company, the stolen goods are with him now; if we act now, we'll definitely catch him red-handed."

Qin Yong squinted his eyes, rhythmically tapping his desk with his right hand.

Solving a case shouldn't just rely on brute force.

Since the suspect is a senior at a trading company, Qin Yong had to consider whether others were involved in this case.

Analyzing the nature of his job and the scope of his business, there are many ways to dispose of stolen goods once they're in their hands.

Both domestically and internationally.

A trading company, exporting a few ivory pieces, wouldn't be difficult.

But it's clear that this couldn't be done by him alone.

Therefore, there must be others involved in the case.

"Is it necessary to inform the head of the High-tech Zone or the trading company?"

Qin Yong shook his head at Zhang Hui's suggestion.

"The other party is the third-in-command of the trading company, who might be colluding with him is unclear."

Zhang Hui understood Qin Yong's point; informing them might lead to a leak.

"Let's do this, still conduct a secret arrest, at his home or on his way home."

"Interrogate him overnight and strive to break through the entire criminal chain at once!"

"Understood!"

In front of the trading company.

In the white Santana, Zhang Hui was directing: "Everyone be alert, the target's car is coming out; Position One, observe and confirm if the target is driving himself, report back upon confirmation."

Position One was Yang Lin, now wrapped in a thick down jacket, pretending to be on the phone to the right of the trading company's gate.

"Confirmed, the target is driving the car himself!"

The familiar Audi car left the trading company's gate and accelerated to the left.

"Follow!"

Sitting in the passenger seat of the white Santana, Zhang Hui, with Lu Chuan and Old Luo in the back seat.

In an arrest operation, Zhang Hui never resorts to violence if peaceful means can be applied.

In an afternoon, they had figured out the basic details of the suspect.

The suspect lived at 289 Friendship Road, in Wenlu District.

The area around Friendship Road was bustling, with high traffic volume. During rush hour, every intersection had traffic police on duty.

Wang Wei was feeling good today, about to make a big profit, anyone would be pleased.

At this age, with no hope for promotion, he could only devote his energy to women and money.

Of course, money was the foundation, how could there be women without money?

"Pull over!"

Humming a tune, Wang Wei suddenly saw a traffic police officer pointing at him to pull over.

A good mood ruined suddenly.

This blockhead couldn't see what car I'm driving?
