Chapter 290: Chapter 202 0

As soon as he got in the car, Wang Zhao Ping immediately put on the headset.

"All units, pay attention, the grey old-model Citroen that just left is most likely our target. Keep a close eye on it once you spot it!

I’ll follow behind you, ready to switch with you at any moment!"

"Got it!"

The grey Citroen had just turned out of the T-junction, and the black police van that had been waiting at the intersection immediately followed.

Wang Zhao Ping’s car also turned out afterward, trailing far behind his companion.

While driving, Wang Zhao Ping spoke up.

"You two, I really can’t thank you enough for today.

If it weren’t for the information you provided, we wouldn’t have been able to find the target this quickly."

"Oh, it’s nothing! Cooperating with law enforcement is the duty of every citizen, isn’t it?"

"Yeah, yeah! And we even won so much in passing..." Ah Xing was gleefully counting the balance in his account from the back seat.

Wang Zhao Ping: "..."

Brother Biao: "..."

You dumbass! Flaunting how much you just won gambling in front of the head of the criminal police!

You think the money isn’t hot enough in your hands?

"Ahem! Captain Wang, that thing we just did, it doesn’t count as illegal gambling, does it?

Maybe we should just turn over our ill-gotten gains?"

"Heh, no need for that. I’m not in uniform today, and there were so many people just now, I didn’t see a thing."

Asking for help is one thing, but seizing this windfall?

You have to pay informants for their services!

Upon hearing this, Brother Biao’s heart relaxed.

Hmm! Captain Wang does seem to be quite reasonable...

Dealable!

"Ahem! By the way, that Brother Le from the gambling den... Are you guys on good terms with him?" Wang Zhao Ping suddenly asked.

Minor issues can be overlooked, but not major principles...

Brother Biao was old-school and immediately understood the implication of that question.

He quickly shook his head.

"Eh! Captain Wang, please don’t misunderstand!

Inviting him for a drink? That was just putting on a show!

Honestly, our main business used to be just keeping an eye on places for people, taking a hardship fee, or chasing down debtors. At most, we charged some high-interest loans.

Drugs, gambling, and prostitution, we absolutely never touch those!

Sure, they make money quickly, but who would respect such people?

He’s not even a friend to us!

I can’t wait for that guy to end up reminiscing with his ’brother’ behind bars. That would truly be ridding evil for the people!

By the way, Captain Wang, I heard that guy also secretly deals in ’flour,’ I think you could totally go hard in investigating him!"

"That’s right! My master also said that even the Buddha doesn’t ferry such people!" Ah Xing immediately chimed in.

Wang Zhao Ping felt amused inside.

Yep! Just as Brother Meng had described.

These two... Dealable!

"Good to hear, by the way, Brother Meng mentioned you guys are facing some trouble. Do you need my help?"

Brother Biao’s eyes lit up.

"It’s a bit of a hassle, mainly with my company. There’s illegal profiteering, embezzlement, and misappropriation of funds... leading to damage to my property.

The other party is also involved in bribery, tax evasion, violent debt collection, coercion, possession of illegal weapons, and organizing criminal gangs, among other misconduct!

I’m gathering evidence of their crimes.

Next step, I’m planning to hire a lawyer and sue them through legal channels to uphold my legitimate rights!"

Wang Zhao Ping’s lips twitched.

Hmm! A hooligan with culture...

"Such a person exists? That’s already a violation of the Criminal Law! If I encounter them, I cannot ignore it!

Once you’ve gathered the evidence, I’ll personally lead a team to arrest them!"

"That would be most appreciated, Captain Wang!"

"What’s there to thank! Heh, heh!"

The two shared a knowing grin, an unspeakable mutual understanding...

...

Since the next phase of the case wasn’t suitable for outsiders, Wang Zhao Ping let Brother Biao and his companion off halfway through.

Watching the departing car, Brother Biao’s face was full of joy.

That bastard Hu Dazhi... is as good as done!

"Brother Biao, is this what you meant by... a ’protective umbrella’?" Ah Xing asked, not fully comprehending.

Brother Biao’s lips twitched, and he landed a wallop on Ah Xing’s head.

"’Protective umbrella’ my ass! Those that bully men and women and conspire with officials are called ’protective umbrellas,’ and there’s been a crackdown on such evil forces recently! Don’t talk nonsense!

We, who punish the wicked and remove evil, should be called ’police-civilian cooperation!’"

"Oh!" Ah Xing rubbed his head.

Brother Biao glanced at the busy intersection and frowned slightly.

"Let’s go!" Brother Biao hailed a taxi.

"Where are we going?"

"To buy a car!"

Ah Xing’s eyes lit up.

"Brother Biao, the last time I had a scooter from Yadea, though I’ve heard that Aima’s are not bad either..."

Brother Biao: "..."

Damn it...

"We’re buying a Maybach!"

...

Meanwhile, Wang Zhao Ping and his team were pursuing the loser’s car, heading east.

After about half an hour, they arrived near a village and saw the suspect turn into a small courtyard.

The two cars reconvened, and Wang Zhao Ping entered the van, where, besides three officers, there was some electronic equipment.

Aside from a driver, Qin Xiaoru was pulling up satellite maps on the computer, and another officer was taking photos of the courtyard as evidence with a long-lens camera.

"Let’s see where this is!"

"Reporting to Captain Wang, this is near the Cangtai Dock, just ahead is the Yangtze River estuary, leading to Ming Chong Island!"

"An outlet to the sea..." Wang Zhao Ping’s face brightened.

It matched the information provided by Elder Meng!

"A gambler and addict who loses tens of thousands at the casino regularly... If this loser has issues, then what they’re likely engaged in could indeed be illegal smuggling operations!"

With the discerning eye of an experienced detective, the likelihood of a loser like this person being involved in smuggling was highly plausible.
