Detective: From the Police Academy

Chapter 196 Tracking
Night, eight o'clock.

Shahe County, Jinfuhao Nightclub.

A second-hand Jetta was parked in the parking lot on the side. The county town was different from the city. Although there were few rich people, there were many people who came out to enjoy themselves at night.

The parking lot is full of cars, which shows how good the nightclub's business is. You can also see many luxury cars with out-of-town license plates.

After Luo Rui got out of the car, he and Zheng Rong walked straight to the door, but after taking a few steps, they found that Yang Bo and Peng Jie were still standing by the car.

"What's wrong? Hurry up!" Luo Rui urged.

Peng Jie looked at Zheng Rong and said hesitantly, "Captain Zheng, we are in uniform after all. If the higher-ups find out about us going to a place like this, wouldn't that be bad?"

Zheng Rong rolled his eyes. "Isn't it me who's above you? Besides, police officers are not human beings. Is it against discipline to go out for a drink after get off work? Could it be that you want to find a lady?"

Peng Jie waved his hands hastily: "No, that's not what I meant."

After Zheng Rong said this, Peng Jie and Yang Bo looked at each other and walked forward.

"Okay, just drink some vegetarian wine."

Zheng Rong knew what he was thinking. He stepped forward, took the two men to a dark corner, and asked in a low voice, "Are you worried about offending Gu Zhiliang?"

Yang Bo immediately denied it: "Zheng, how could that be? That's not what we meant. I was just making it up. What am I afraid of? I have no mutual respect for evil forces! But Peng Jie is still a contract worker. If he breaks the rules, he will lose his job. Besides, he has a family to support."

Peng Jie pursed his lips and glanced at Luo Rui in the distance, who was standing on the side of the road, looking down at his phone.

Zheng Rong also glanced at the roadside, and then lowered his voice several degrees, saying: "You all know Luo Rui's identity, he is a hidden dragon, he will not stay in our county for long!

After a few days of contact, you also know his character and deeds. I think this guy wants to investigate Gu Zhiliang..."

Before he finished speaking, his two subordinates nodded quickly. Even a blind man could see it, otherwise why would Luo Rui bring them to the nightclub owned by Dai Baoyue to drink.

It is a fantasy for a local policeman to want to hook the big shark in the county. However, they are not doubting Luo Rui's ability, but simply thinking about their own lives and property.

When they came, everyone was making a fuss and they hadn't thought of coming here. But when they arrived, their minds became active and they were naturally a little hesitant to move forward.

Zheng Rong continued, "Then do you know why Luo Rui refused Li Nong and did not go to the Criminal Police Brigade?"

Without waiting for the two to answer, Zheng Rong continued, "Let me tell you, in Shahe County, who has a clean bottom? How many times has the county criminal police team investigated? Not once has it been able to trace back to Gu Zhiliang. I guess Luo Rui sees it very clearly. He thinks there is a traitor among those people above!

So, I think Luo Rui wants to investigate on his own. He has the background and the means, and he won't be content to just be a small police officer and learn all that patrolling and household registration stuff.

Yang Bo, Peng Jie, you both are good kids. I watched you become police officers.

If you plan to be a patrol officer in Wuyuan Police Station for your whole life, that's great; but if you want to move up, Luo Rui is your best chance!

You choose your own path! "

Hearing this, the two looked solemn and looked at each other.

The two men were only a few years older than Luo Rui, and their thinking was not as thorough as Zheng Rong's.

But who the hell doesn’t want to make progress?
Yang Bo immediately said, "Zheng Suo, let's go and have a drink!"

Peng Jie also said, "Okay, I'll listen to Chief Zheng!"

The two men straightened their faces and walked towards Luo Rui, their hearts pounding.

The most powerful criminal police detachment in Haidong Province is Chen Hao, but the one who is even more powerful than Chen Hao is the one in front of you.

Yang Bo and Peng Jie were not blind. After Zheng Rong understood Luo Rui's thoughts, their views on Luo Rui immediately changed.

However, because they were about to back out, they were a little embarrassed to face Luo Rui.

Luo Rui put his phone in his trouser pocket and looked at them: "Brother Jie, Brother Bo, what's wrong?"

Peng Jie scratched the back of his head: "It's okay, hehe... shall we go in?"

Luo Rui looked at Zheng Rong behind them, only to see the latter take out a toothpick, put it in his mouth, and look at him with a smile.

Luo Rui's mind turned and he understood instantly. He shook his head helplessly and stepped forward.

There were two tall and strong security guards standing in front of the nightclub. They glanced at Luo Rui and his group and said nothing.

As soon as I walked in, I smelled the scent of sandalwood in the air. This smell can be found in every nightclub, including the toilets.

There was also a lobby inside with a circle of sofas, where many scantily clad girls were sitting, smoking and laughing with each other.

There were two signs hanging on the wall of the lobby, one read: No minors allowed; the other read: Girls, drinks free.

Luo Rui secretly complained in his heart, wondering if the auntie from the village entrance would be treated so well.

When I lifted the door curtain, I heard deafening music.

Luo Rui felt his eardrums were vibrating, but the music was very familiar and immediately brought him back to his memories.

After his rebirth, he had never been to a nightclub, so he naturally forgot that "Ice Age" was the most popular DJ song at the time.

Standing on the steps, Luo Rui saw hundreds of people in the dance floor waving their arms and waists passionately to the music. There were men and women, long-haired and bald people, white-collar workers in formal suits, and big men in slippers with tattoos.

In the dance floor, people of all kinds gathered here, gave up their reason and fell into a haze.

Zheng Rong popped his head out, covered his ears, and shouted, "My goodness, it's really a full-scale dance of demons!"

Although he said that, Zheng Rong's eyes were full of curiosity and he seemed eager to try.

If it were in the past, he would have certainly denounced it, but now that he is in his sixties and in the late stages of cancer, he is able to accept new things that he once did not understand very well.

Luo Rui found a booth at the edge of the dance floor, close to the innermost part, which was not very conspicuous.

After the four people sat down, the younger brother in a suit and vest immediately stepped forward and bent over and said, "Guest, what would you like to drink?"

"First, everyone, give us a bottle of beer, two plates of peanuts, and some cold dishes. If you need anything later, I'll call you!"

Luo Rui put the money on the waiter's tray and sent him away.

Peng Jie and Yang Bo had been to such a place before they became patrol officers. However, due to their current professions, they pretended to be unfamiliar and reserved.

Zheng Rong was quite old and had never been exposed to these things before, but his eyes were bright and he seemed to be very familiar with it. He even swayed to the rhythm of the music.

Luo Rui ignored them and kept his eyes on the dance floor.

There is not much difference between a person who drinks alcohol and a person who takes flour. You can't tell the difference at all. They all look like lunatics.

After the waiter brought the wine, Luo Rui handed him a twenty-yuan tip, and he left with a smile on his face.

After that, Luo Rui took out a small transparent bag from his pocket and placed it on the table.

Zheng Rong opened his eyes wide, and quickly reached out to hold down the transparent bag.

"Luo Rui, are you crazy?"

Luo Rui took his hand away: "Zheng, don't worry, it's okay, this is not what you think!"

Both Peng Jie and Yang Bo swallowed their saliva, their hearts hanging in their throats.

Zheng Rong said: "Captain Li didn't tell you the cause of death of the two victims. What if you are wrong to do this?"

"Master, Captain Li came here in a hurry today, which means my speculation is correct. Those two people must be suspected of taking flour."

Zheng Rong hesitated, thinking that Luo Rui was too bold. They thought that if they came here tonight and encountered the bulk cargo, it would be a clue. They didn't even think about arresting him. After all, this matter was not something that the local police could handle, and they could only call their superiors to report the news.

But this guy Luo Rui actually wanted to come here to fish.

This is no joke. If something goes wrong, no one will suffer.

Luo Rui leaned forward and said to Zheng Rong and the other two, "Well, you guys go find another seat and try to pay attention to me."

Zheng Rong was very worried: "Is this really okay?"

"We'll know whether it works or not in a moment."

Zheng Rong had no choice but to pick up the beer, take Yang Bo and Peng Jie to the booth next to him, and pretend not to know him.

Soon, the dance music ended, and the group of people in the dance floor stopped their madness and returned to their seats.

Luo Rui's position was very secretive, and he tried his best not to be discovered by the patrolling security guards.

The transparent bag is right next to the ashtray, very eye-catching.

He looked at the dispersing crowd and took two sips of beer in one hand.

Before he finished a bottle of beer, a tall figure suddenly appeared beside Luo Rui.

The visitor sat down at the booth without saying a word and took out a pack of cigarettes.

Luo Rui narrowed his eyes slightly, still looking straight ahead, but he looked at the man out of the corner of his eye.

The man was not tall, but had tattoos on his arms and was wearing a black T-shirt and cargo shorts.

He took out a cigarette, lit it with a lighter, and quickly placed the cigarette box next to the glass ashtray, just pressing down on the transparent bag.

Seeing this, Luo Rui sneered in his heart.

Zheng Rong and the other two who were sitting not far away felt their hearts in their throats and stared at Luo Rui without blinking.

During the whole process, the man didn't say anything until the second dance music "Phoenix Dancing in the Nine Heavens" sounded, and the men and women in the nightclub rushed to the center of the dance floor again.

Suddenly, the music became louder and hundreds of people were sweating profusely in front of you.

In the dim light, the man leaned over and asked loudly, "Friend, where are you from?"

Luo Rui is dark-skinned, tall and strong, and most importantly, his eyes never look like a kind person.

The other party simply treated him as one of their own.

Luo Rui also leaned forward and replied, "From Huining City!"

Luo Rui's accent wasn't that of a local at all, so he just said a random name.

The man nodded. It didn't matter whether he believed it or not. What was important was the next sentence: "Are you just playing around? Or are you planning to start a sect here?"

Luo Rui hesitated for a moment, then whispered: "I can't handle it myself, and I can't even start a sect. If I dare to do this on someone else's territory, I won't even know how I died!

I'm lucky, I just happen to have a batch of things that can make me rich. If I can't find a seller, I can make some money and leave immediately!"

Luo Rui grinned, he took out a pack of Zhonghua cigarettes from his pocket, unwrapped it, took out a cigarette and handed it to the tattooed man.

The tattooed man took it and held it in his mouth.

Luo Rui picked up the lighter on the table and helped him light it.

The tattooed man patted Luo Rui's hand in a very social way. After taking a sip, he asked, "You are very knowledgeable. Not bad! How much do you have?"

Luo Rui held up five fingers: "Five hundred!"

The tattooed man nodded, "That's a lot! My friend, I won't ask your name or where you got your things. I like you. I'll bring people here at this time tomorrow night and I'll take all your things.

But as for the price, I'll give you a 1:150 ratio! What do you think?" Luo Rui looked gloomy and said nothing. The man saw that he was thinking and did not continue to ask.

After thinking for a while, Luo Rui said, "Okay! Just this price, I'll come over tomorrow!"

The tattooed man raised his hand and said, "No problem!"

He stood up, took the cigarette box on the table, and at the same time took away the things in the small transparent bag.

Luo Rui did not stop him, nor did he move, because the man did not leave immediately, but walked into the dance floor and started swaying his body.

Luo Rui quickly took out his cell phone and sent a message to Zheng Rong.

[Master, keep an eye on this man and don't let him out of our sight. Tell Yang Bo and Peng Jie to separate and see where this man goes out!]

When Zheng Rong saw the message on the phone, he immediately whispered to them.

Yang Bo walked towards the back door of the nightclub, but there was a security guard standing there who wouldn't let him out, so he had no choice but to stand aside and pretend to smoke.

Peng Jie walked towards the main entrance, stood on the steps, smoked, and danced to the music, imitating Liao Fan in "Fireworks in the Daytime".

Zheng Rong didn't move, staring at the tattooed man. This man was easy to recognize because he was dancing face to face with a woman in a red dress.

The posture was too obscene, with one hand fastening the belt buckle and the other waving above the head.

Moreover, when the people dancing around him saw him, they almost all stayed more than one meter away from him and did not dare to get too close.

Zheng Rong had sharp eyes and knew at first glance that this man was not a good person, otherwise the people around him would not be so afraid of him.

Half an hour later, the song "Phoenix Dances in the Nine Heavens" ended and the dancers dispersed immediately. Some drank beer, some smoked, and those who were hooking up went to the toilet, while those who were not hooking up walked towards their respective booths.

The tattooed man walked straight to the back door, touched his head, and waved to the security guard.

There were two younger brothers behind him, following him on the left and right.

Yang Bo quickly threw the cigarette on the ground and sent a message to Luo Rui: [He is coming to the back door. He seems to know the security guard. He is leaving! ]

Luo Rui stood up and Zheng Rong hurried over.

"What should we do? We can't get out through the back door!"

"Then go out and block him!"

Luo Rui ran towards the main entrance, and Zheng Rong and Peng Jie at the gate immediately followed him.

After they went out, there was no one on the street outside. They went around to the back door of the bar and saw the tattooed man and his two younger brothers already riding on two motorcycles.

Because there was a security guard standing at the back door, the four of them were smoking and chatting, and the tattooed man did not leave immediately.

The street at the back door was too narrow for cars to pass through, and there were main roads on both ends, so I didn't know which way the tattooed man would go.

In desperation, Luo Rui ran to the parking lot and saw a couple coming out of the bar and walking towards their motorcycle. The man took out his keys and was about to ride on it.

Luo Rui snatched the key and said, "Police! I'm using your car for nothing. Take this money first!"

Luo Rui took out a stack of cash and stuffed it directly into the man's hand without even counting it.

The man looked confused. The woman wanted to scream, but when she saw the money in the man's hand, which was at least more than ten thousand yuan, she suddenly kept silent.

How much does this motorcycle cost?

Luo Rui inserted the key, got on the bike, and glanced at the man: "Wait for me here, don't try to take the money and run away, I'm really a policeman!"

Luo Rui rode his motorcycle straight to the back door.

Before he reached the place, he heard the roar of a motorcycle. Zheng Rong and Peng Jie ran over and pointed to the right: "The person has left and is heading to Shahe Avenue on the right!"

Luo Rui nodded and said, "Master, you guys go back first! I can go by myself!"

After saying that, he turned the accelerator to the bottom and the motorcycle rushed forward.

At this time, Yang Bo ran out of the bar, sweating profusely.

Zheng Rong waved his hand. "Let's go! Let's follow him by car. We can't let Luo Rui take risks alone."

Yang Bo and Peng Jie immediately ran to the parking lot.

After the three people got on the car, Yang Bo immediately asked, "Captain Zheng, do you want to notify Captain Li?"

Zheng Rong shook his head: "Not yet! Drive quickly, don't waste time!"

"it is good!"

Yang Bo quickly started the engine, stepped on the accelerator to the bottom, and drove along Shahe Avenue.

……

It is already early morning, and Shahe Avenue is a six-lane road with not many vehicles passing through.

The tattooed man's two younger brothers rode very fast. In the blink of an eye, they had traveled hundreds of meters.

Luo Rui followed from a distance behind, not daring to turn the throttle of the motorcycle to the bottom.

Rows of street lights flashed before my eyes, and on the wide Shahe River, I could even see the lights of ships.

Although there was less sand in the air at night, Luo Rui still got a mouthful of it.

He spat out the sand with two "Puh, Puh" sounds.

He looked straight ahead, staring at the motorcycle a hundred meters away.

After a while, the two motorcycles in front turned right and drove onto a one-lane road.

The path was dark, with no street lights, only the lights of motorcycles illuminating the front.

In order to avoid being discovered, Luo Rui quickly turned off the headlights of his motorcycle and followed from a distance.

A few days ago, Zheng Rong brought Luo Rui here. In front of the path were rows of houses, next to the Sha River.

The people living in the houses are all fishermen.

There are few fish fry in Shahe River, but Shahe River flows into Linjiang River, and these fishermen are begging for food on Linjiang River.

During the fishing moratorium, these fishermen work for Wuyuan's sand-dredging ships, so all the ships parked on the river are dredging ships.

The tattooed man rode his motorcycle into a small yard, and his two younger brothers also rode in on motorcycles.

There was a wolfhound tied in the yard. When it saw them, it immediately started barking wildly.

"Be good, little one, don't you recognize me?" the tattooed man said soothingly.

The two younger brothers closed the door tightly and stayed away from the wolfdog, fearing that the dog would break free from the rope and come to bite them.

This yard looks inconspicuous from the outside, just like an ordinary fisherman's home, but it is very luxurious inside.

There is a flower bed in the yard and a fish tank made of bluestone slabs with a lotus on it.

"Woof, woof!" The wolfhound continued to bark.

At this time, Dai Baoyue walked out of the door.

In the middle of the night, she was still wearing red high heels, a white hip skirt, and her face was flushed.

When the tattooed man saw her, he unconsciously scratched his crotch, which was feeling hot and stuffy.

Dai Baoyue glanced at him with disgust: "Brother Jun, why did you call me in the middle of the night? What happened?"

The tattooed man glanced into the door and whispered, "Is the boss in there?"

"Why are you asking the boss? Just tell me what's going on?"

The tattooed man laughed twice and stepped onto the stairs.

"Then let's talk inside."

Dai Baoyue spread her legs and blocked the door. She hugged her arms under her chest, but because the things were too big, she couldn't reach them in front of her chest.

"Chai Jun, if you have something to say, just tell me, don't play tricks on me."

The tattooed man named Chai Jun stood on the steps, looking up at her.

"Dai Baoyue, don't forget that it was me who got you out of the nightclub. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't be in your current position. Let me tell you, the butterfly tattoo on your butt was done by me!

When I was messing with you, I didn't see you being so arrogant? Now, your butt is sticking up higher than the sky!"

Dai Baoyue's face immediately turned red, and she shouted in a hoarse voice: "Chai Jun, I won't bother with you this time, but if it happens again, I will definitely have someone chop you to death and feed you to the dogs!"

The wolfhound at her feet barked twice at the right moment, scaring Chai Jun so much that he trembled.

Then, a man came out from the door. He was tall and muscular.

Chai Jun knew this man, he was Gu Zhiliang's personal bodyguard. If he was here, it meant that Gu Zhiliang was here too.

Chai Jun immediately became depressed, took out a transparent bag from his pocket and threw it to Dai Baoyue.

"Someone is selling this stuff in our nightclub tonight, and there are quite a few of them. What do you think we should do?"

Dai Baoyue's face was cold. She took the transparent bag, tore open the seal, dipped her fingers in it twice, and held it to her nose to sniff.

She was not sure, so she stuck out her tongue and licked it again.

"Pooh!"

Dai Baoyue threw the transparent bag at Chai Jun: "You are such an idiot, Chai Jun, this is flour!"

Chai Jun touched his head and said, "Yes, it's flour!"

After saying this, he finally realized that this flour was not that kind of flour, it was real flour.

He also dipped his finger in it and put it in his mouth. It was indeed flour.

"Damn it! How dare that boy to do something to me! Damn it! He looks so ordinary, but he has so many tricks!"

Dai Baoyue sneered: "The boss is in there, are you still looking for him?"

Chai Jun was scared and said with a smile: "Baoyue, Sister Baoyue, don't tell the boss about this. I was cheated and I am embarrassed. I will solve this matter myself. I must deal with that kid!"

Dai Baoyue sneered and warned, "The nightclub is under tight control. No one is allowed to mess around in there. You have to do it cleanly. You have to order and sell goods in Yan Yun's place. Be careful and don't cause trouble for the boss!"

Chai Jun smiled and said, "Okay, I understand. Yan Yun deserves his bad luck. Our people are all in his place. If something goes wrong, it won't be a problem to let this bastard take the blame."

Dai Baoyue ignored her and turned to walk into the house, but the wolfhound at her feet suddenly started barking wildly at the door, and the iron chain around the dog's neck became tight.

Dai Baoyue and the man beside her immediately looked out the door.

Chai Jun's eyes turned and he said alertly: "There seems to be someone outside!"
