Chapter 665: 656. Unimaginable Case (Third Update)_1

Actually, the police had been aware of the three poaching groups in No Man’s Land, but they were uncertain, lacked evidence, and No Man’s Land was just too vast. Li Kun and his team’s modified pickup trucks could leave the highway and race into the Desert, but their police cars could not, which added to the difficulty of handling the case.

Late tonight, they suddenly received an emergency call saying that a group of ten poachers had been captured. They immediately summoned the criminal police who had already finished their shifts to rush over. This is how the job goes for a police officer, always on call and always ready to show up.

But on the way, everyone felt that something was off. Captured, as the phone call said? How were they captured?

You’ve got to be kidding me. A poaching group, armed with guns, and they were just captured? Who caught them? Who has that capability?

The public security officers really couldn’t make sense of this matter, but since they had received an alarm claiming it was true, even if it was a false alarm, they still had to make the trip to check out the situation, because it was their duty.

Duty is such a thing; some people deliberately disparage it, others tarnish it themselves, but duty is duty. Countless police officers across the country take these two words very seriously, more seriously than life itself.

A few bad apples are normal, but that doesn’t mean we should dismiss an entire group because of them.

As they were nearing the roadside inn, an off-road vehicle brushed past them.

These experienced police officers quickly turned their heads to observe the off-road vehicle. They were no fools—in the middle of the night, with a poaching gang nabbed and a mysterious off-road vehicle appearing, anyone would think there might be a connection.

Only the driver had the clearest view: "There was only one person in the car, a clean-looking young man. Not sure if there was anything unusual."

At that moment, everyone just happened to see a bunch of people tied up on the ground at the entrance of the roadside inn not far ahead. When they saw the police car, the group on the ground began to struggle frantically.

Someone from the police car shouted, "Fuck, they really caught them! It’s real!"

On the road, everyone had discussed the possibilities and felt that there was something fishy about this incident, as if someone had made a false report.

Of course, everyone also wondered if it might be some internal conflict, with one group of criminals handing over another group to the public security authorities?

But this too made no sense. These criminals were very adept at destroying evidence. Since they had captured them, it would have been normal to just kill them off, why expose themselves to public security scrutiny?

Yet, when they arrived here, they found that all of this was indeed true.

After exiting the vehicle, the officers quickly pounced on the people on the ground, and even the innkeeper was pressed to the ground and handcuffed.

"What happened?" A police officer walked over to inquire about the situation with the film crew across National Highway 217, given that over eighty people were standing by the road, apparently good Samaritans...

One officer asked curiously, "Was it you, this group of dozens of people, who captured them?"

As he asked, the officer found it novel, dozens of tourists helping to catch poachers? Wouldn’t that make the headlines tomorrow?

"No, it wasn’t us," Zhang Ming laughed, "It was a young man who knocked them all down."

Zhang Ming recounted the whole incident, but who the young man was, what he looked like, and his license plate number remained unknown.

The police comrades questioned dozens of people, and surprisingly, they all corroborated Zhang Ming’s version, and none had any information about the young man...

Do you think we’re idiots? Eighty people and not a single one remembered the license plate number?

But after questioning them thoroughly for a long time, they still knew nothing...

"Wait a minute, you’re telling me he punched someone so hard they flew through the air, and then he took on ten by himself?" The officer couldn’t help but feel that the story was rather fanciful as he asked, "You all can’t be thinking that just because you make movies, you can spin me a movie plot, can you...?"

Who is Zhang Ming? Who is Liu Erbao? Who is Chen Da? This isn’t some small film crew, and the great northwest isn’t some wild and lawless wasteland; the police, of course, knew who these people were.

The already bizarre night had just become more extraordinary, and they couldn’t fathom why they would encounter so many big names here...

And these celebrities unanimously claimed that the poaching gang was brought down single-handedly by a young man who fought them all by himself.

With a large number of people from the film crew present, they decided to simply take their statements on the spot. One incredulous officer went to casually inquire who from the poaching gang had tied them up.

The answer shocked them; even the poaching gang confessed that a young man had come alone and apprehended them. The more they spoke about this young man, the more his combat abilities seemed to exceed everyone’s imagination.

Li Kun didn’t show the slightest intention of resisting. The young man had simply thrown the firearms on the ground, and with that, the charge of illegal possession of guns was inescapable. There were also two hawks hidden in their vehicle, caught by the member acting alone, so the charge of poaching nationally protected species of birds also couldn’t be avoided. With the testimony from the crew across the way, using the weapons, firearms and all, there was no escaping responsibility...

Li Kun even wondered if the film crew across the way had recorded the whole incident. Whether they had or not, who the hell knew?

The answer was, of course, no. Zhang Ming was no fool. He didn’t think secretly filming Ren He’s actions would be amusing, but Zhang Ming still felt a bit emotional; with Ren He’s skills and his distinctive presence, had Ren He been cast as Kunlun, he might have shone even brighter.

What Zhang Ming found even more regrettable was that if Ren He had played King Treasure or the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, Monkey King, maybe there would have been a miraculous effect. Of course, King Treasure lacked the grandeur to raise a ruckus in the Heavenly Palace, but what if Monkey King had been played by Ren He? Wouldn’t that be much better?

As a director, these were Zhang Ming’s immediate thoughts...

The officers couldn’t shake off the feeling that this bunch might be toying with them. However, the scattered firearms and the hawks hidden inside the pickup truck were plainly real; they understood that a poaching gang had indeed been caught.

But the young man they spoke of... seemed as unreliable as a legend.

What Zhang Ming and the others had mentioned was just the tip of the iceberg. The details directly spilled by Li Kun were even more astounding... A sniper rifle, a sharpshooter with a range of 1000 meters...

Li Kun’s intention in bringing up the sniper rifle was to alarm the officers and shift their focus onto Ren He. Since he was done for, he didn’t want his adversary to get off easily.

He knew very well that a shooting incident would immediately receive high priority in China. What about a sniper rifle? Once one appeared, it would be a major case requiring the formation of a large task force!

The officers contemplated in secret; if what these people said was true, then the young man who had brushed past them could very well be the pivotal figure in this case!

Although Zhang Ming and his crew claimed not to know the young man’s license plate number, Li Kun did. He sat on the ground with a cold smile, waiting for the officers to capture the madman hoarding a sniper rifle.

One of the officers reported the license plate number to headquarters via satellite phone: "Check this license plate number, see if it’s a fake."

Li Kun sat on the ground, listening; he too wanted to know who this young man really was.

However, the duty officer in the office on the other end of the phone hesitated before saying, "Deputy head, the computer says ’No Access Permission’... I’ve never seen this before..."

Everyone was stunned. What did this mean? The deputy head was momentarily lost for words; in all honesty, he had never encountered such a thing before!
