Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
There were no alarms, no police lights, and they did not even turn on their headlights. Only a faint light could be seen in the gap between the curtains of the largest minibus.
The car was filled with police officers. Everyone was fully armed.
Standing in front of them was a legendary figure in Hibiscus City’s police world, the political commissar of the Criminal Police Headquarters, Zhou Nanhai.
At this moment, Zhou Nanhai’s face was serious. He said in a low voice, “I believe everyone already knows the danger of this mission. The group of criminals we’re going to arrest today are all habitual criminals, especially their leader, Pig Head Rong. He even has a murder case!
“In addition, they have all kinds of weapons. They even have firearms! Such a bandit who has a weapon, it’s almost inevitable that he’ll jump over the wall in desperation! As the commander-in-chief of this mission, I hope everyone will be vigilant. Don’t…
He suddenly stopped and looked at Zhou Xiaoxiao. Zhou Xiaoxiao was also participating in this operation, but she was participating as a liaison. At this moment, she was holding a phone to signal to Zhou Nanhai.
“Supreme Commander,” Zhou Xiaoxiao’s expression was a little solemn. “The bureau just received a call from the police. Xu Jiajia, the daughter of
Commander Xu of the military, disappeared at the city gate of Burning Light Ancient City at four in the afternoon.
“According to the information, the Pig Head Rong Criminal Group appeared near the city gate this afternoon. Therefore, the police suspect that Xu Jiajia was kidnapped by the Pig Head Rong Criminal Group.”
Xu Jiajia was suspected to have been kidnapped by the Pig Head Rong Criminal Group? Zhou Nanhai’s expression also instantly became solemn.
During this period of time, the Hibiscus City police were under immense pressure. The ancient tomb of the Warring States period had been excavated, and unknown cultural relics had disappeared. This was a shocking case.
Especially according to the expert picture, there seemed to be some secret hidden on this unknown cultural relic. As for the exact secret, Zhou Nanhai did not know. He only knew that as a police officer, he had to get this cultural relic However, this cultural relic was too small and could easily be transferred and hidden.
Therefore, after searching for so long, the police did not know where this cultural relic was at all. They only knew that the disappearance of the national treasure was related to a group of tomb raiders.
However, tomb raiders, especially those with higher specialization, were actually the same as antique shops. He didn’t open for business for three years, but he ate for three years.
Their crimes were extremely uncertain. From the choice of target to the interval and even the timing, there was no pattern to follow. In addition, the location of their crimes was usually in the deep mountains and forests far away from people.
This brought great difficulty to the investigation.
The Hibiscus City police had also spent many days investigating and visiting. They had used it a few times, including large-scale mountain patrols, before roughly finding the range of activity of this group of tomb raiders and the characteristics of their members.
In fact, this was still thanks to an accident during the last excavation. Su Yun had disrupted the situation, causing them to still be active.
Otherwise, according to the style of a normal tomb raider, after excavating, they would restore the tomb’s appearance to its original state and hide directly. When the limelight passed, they would use special channels to sell the stolen antique secretly and come out again every two to three years. The police would not even know that the ancient tomb had been stolen, let alone catch the tomb raider.
It was precisely because tomb raiders were difficult to catch that the police took it very seriously this time after obtaining the information that Pig Head Rong’s gang was lurking in Maple Ridge. They directly asked Zhou Nanhai to lead a team to capture them.
However, at this juncture, Xu Jiajia was suspected to have been kidnapped by Pig Head Rong’s gang.
Xu Jiajia was Commander Xu’s daughter. In fact, the military was also investigating this group of tomb raiders and the faction behind them, and the main person in charge was Commander Xu. Under such circumstances, it was possible for the tomb raiders to hate Commander Xu and wait for an opportunity to kidnap his daughter.
However, Zhou Nanhai felt that something was wrong.
According to the information he had, Pig Head Rong was actually a very cautious person. Otherwise, he would not have escaped justice for so many years. He was not the kind of person who would kidnap the daughter of a high-ranking military officer just to vent his anger.
After all, even a fool knew that provoking the military was an extremely stupid thing.
The police would also try their best to arrest the criminal without harming him. This would objectively give the criminal more chances to escape.
The military’s style of doing things was completely different. Everything they practiced on a daily basis was actually how to spread the enemy’s ashes in a faster and more efficient way. Moreover, the military’s equipment was more professional than the police’s. The two sides were on completely different levels.
Just think about it, a group of criminals with at most a few broken guns faced a professional soldier who was fully armed, wearing a bulletproof helmet, a bulletproof vest that could withstand 7.62 caliber bullets, equipped with night vision goggles, holding an automatic rifle, and proficient in all kinds of tactics.
This was completely a dimensional reduction attack!
Therefore, as long as Pig Head Rong was still sane, he would not provoke the military. Then why did he suddenly do such a thing? Had the bureau misjudged? Was Xu Jiajia’s disappearance and Pig Head Rong’s gang’s activities around Burning Light Ancient City just a coincidence?
Or could it be that Xu Jiajia had accidentally met Pig Head Rong’s gang and was recognized by them?
