"Grocery delivery from the supermarket."
Gao Bo casually made up an excuse.
From the middle-aged supermarket owner's confession, they learned that the owner of Tian Tian Apartments lived in his own apartment, with a sign on the first door.
He regularly ordered essentials like water and instant noodles from the supermarket, which were mixed with methamphetamine and smoking pipes.
The profits were extremely high.
A regular 1-yuan lighter, with a string, could be sold for 3 yuan, while a small glass pipe went for 50, and a large one for as much as 500 yuan!
"Coming..."
The apartment owner responded, and instantly, the three heard footsteps approaching the door.
Gao Bo placed his right hand on the door handle, pressed his ear against it to locate the source, while extending three fingers on his left hand.
Two fingers.
One finger!
Click, the security door was unlocked from the inside, and Gao Bo seized the opportunity to yank it open. In an instant, Gu Ji drew a baton from his waist, whoosh, the black baton expanded completely in mid-air and pointed at the figure in front:
"Police! Get down!"
He shouted forcefully, scaring the figure into a stunned state.
In the living room, a man and a woman heard the commotion and were about to get up from the bed and desk.
The next moment, Zhang Wenjun quickly charged in at position two, holding a Type 92 pistol, and shouted harshly:
"Hands on your head! Get down!"
"Get down immediately! Hands on your head, do you hear? Cross your legs and lie down!"
Gu Ji pointed with the black police baton in his hand.
It must be said.
The SWAT team's continuous warnings were indeed intimidating. Additionally, Zhang Wenjun's gun had already scared the three into a state of shock, each stiffly and numbly crouching down.
"Gao Bo!"
Gu Ji shouted, and Gao Bo immediately jumped in from the door, unhooked the handcuffs from his waist, and pulled the arms of the apartment owner behind his back, cuffing his wrists.
"Get up! Are you Xia Guoqing, the owner of Tian Tian Apartments? Answer me, are you Xia Guoqing? Do you know why we're arresting you?"
The apartment owner trembled, unable to speak. Facing Gao Bo's relentless questioning, he could only nod mechanically.
Once the owner was restrained, Gu Ji once again warned the woman at the desk to crouch down, sticking close to the wall as he quickly maneuvered around.
He noticed the bald man in black crouching by the bed, his left hand holding his head while his right hand secretly reached for his pocket.
"Hands! What are you doing! Raise them!!"
Gu Ji hurriedly shouted twice, waving the baton as he approached.
"You lie down too! Hands on your head! Now!"
Hearing the commotion, Zhang Wenjun immediately turned his gun towards the bald man in black.
Faced with the dark gun muzzle, the bald man in black panicked completely, trembling as he placed his hands back on his head, fell to his knees, and lay on the ground.
Gu Ji rushed up, kneeling on the man's neck and took out the handcuffs.
Suddenly.
A strong scent hit him, somewhat like vanilla, or perhaps osmanthus or milk.
It was the smell of methamphetamine being heated.
The man had just inhaled it not long ago!
After cuffing the bald man in black, Gu Ji quickly began a body search, pulling out several items, including a black smartphone, an ID card, a folding knife, and a small transparent plastic bag.
The plastic bag contained over twenty pink pill-like objects, it was meth!
"Mr. Zhou, where are your people?"
Seeing the meth, Zhang Wenjun squinted his eyes and pressed down on the radio earpiece. From the corridor outside came a gruff voice, "We're here, don't worry, Li and the others are locking down the floor and lobby, no one's getting away!"
Saying this, a broad-faced old policeman walked in, the same officer responsible for handing over the supermarket owner to the Ningjiang Anti-Drug Brigade, Mr. Zhou.
"Zhang Zhong, there's an issue!"
Suddenly, Gu Ji handed over the phone, showing the exchange of messages with his accomplice, "He was just trying to reach for his phone to tip off his accomplice!"
Zhang Wenjun took the phone and looked over it carefully with Mr. Zhou.
Meanwhile, Gu Ji continued to search the bald man's body, from top to bottom until reaching the ankle, where the man's left foot flinched instinctively.
"Take off your shoes!"
The bald man froze on the spot.
"Take off your shoes! Now!"
With no choice, and faced with so many officers, he obediently complied, rubbing his heels together to slip off his running shoes.
Gu Ji picked up the shoe, emitting a sour stench, the insole was also damp, and upon tearing it open, he found the soles to be hollow, packed with two bags of transparent crystals!
Methamphetamine.
Combined, at least seventy to eighty grams in weight!
"Big score? Boy, you sure have experience! Mr. Zhang, I like this recruit. Why not join the Anti-Drug Brigade with me?"
Mr. Zhou grinned, taking the items from Gu Ji's hands and giving his shoulder a pat.
Zhang Wenjun's expression suddenly darkened, glaring "unfriendly" at Mr. Zhou.
"Fine! Look at you being petty, I'm not stealing him, alright?"
Mr. Zhou spread his hands, grabbed the bald man's collar, stared into his eyes, nearly nose-to-nose, and intriguingly asked:
"Spill it, where's your accomplice? What's the plan! Speak up now for a chance at redemption, if we catch you ourselves, it won't count, and these things, you know how long they'll land you inside!"
"I'll talk! I'll talk!"
The bald man gulped, "We stay separately, I live at Tian Tian Apartments, he at 23rd floor of Pengda Apartments, the goods were gotten from a guy named Mr. Shao. I heard he sourced it from Northern Myanmar, we planned to meet a buyer at Huimin Building in Wuxuan District tonight, but the time hadn't come, so..."
"Is he alone? Armed?"
"Alone, has a dagger, not sure about anything else, he's very cautious, won't show up without knowing someone well, I can take you to him, just give me a chance to redeem myself, I beg you..."
"You know what happens if you lie!"
Mr. Zhou pushed back the bald man, turned to Zhang Wenjun, and smiled, "Mr. Zhang, seems we'll be troubling you again!"
Zhang Wenjun didn't speak, but looked towards Gu Ji and Gao Bo.
"Pack up, prepare for action!"
"Yes!"
Gao Bo responded, stealthily moved closer to Gu Ji, and despite trying to keep his voice low, you could still feel the excitement in his tone, "My god, Gu Ji, it's not a small fish, but a big one! Just one person with so much..."
What Gu Ji was considering was whether this guy might have a weapon hidden at his ankle, not expecting that tonight, following the trail, they'd fish out so many.
"Stop gawking, quickly head back inside!"
In the corridor, arriving officers warned other guests in the apartment.
After handing over the apartment owner and the accountant woman, Gu Ji and Gao Bo followed Zhang Wenjun and Mr. Zhou, escorting the black-clad, bald man to the 23rd floor.
