Detective: From the Police Academy

Chapter 236 Firefight
When Li Nong rushed downstairs, he saw the main room in a mess.

The wheelchair tipped over and the old man fell to the ground, with Lao Bao holding him down with his knees.

Xiaowu squatted in the corner, his arms hanging limply, his chest heaving, and his mouth gasping for breath.

"Xiao Wu!" Li Nong ran over and tore open his shirt. Two bullets were embedded in his bulletproof vest, one of which hit him right in the chest.

"Li Da." Xiao Wu smiled bitterly and said with his teeth bared, "It hurts a little!"

Li Nong let out a long sigh and touched his young face: "It's good if it hurts, it's okay, you are lucky!"

His name is Wu Di, and the name Xiaowu was given to him by Li Nong on the day he reported to the county bureau.

"If it weren't for Luo Da, I would be dead..."

Li Nong swallowed his saliva and felt scared when he thought about it. If Luo Rui hadn't persuaded everyone to wear bulletproof vests, Xiao Wu would have been killed by now.

Luo Rui and Qi Lei took Zhao Zhuer downstairs.

Seeing that Xiaowu was fine, Qi Lei's expression relaxed a little, but Luo Rui still had a stern face.

The two bullets on the bulletproof vest were shocking, bringing back memories from more than a year ago. If the other party had shot him in the head, just like the Korean killed Jiang Dawei, Xiaowu would probably not even have time to say goodbye.

Lao Bao was still a little frightened. Although he was a veteran, the county bureau would rarely encounter a shooting case in a year. During normal visits and investigations, the grassroots police officers always carried batons.

He picked up the old man and threw him into the wheelchair, his movements being somewhat rough.

"The gun was taken from under the altar."

Lao Bao lifted the red cloth covering the altar, and a long gun fell under the table: "It fell here when I was trying to rob the gun."

Luo Rui asked: "Is the law enforcement recorder turned on?"

Lao Bao nodded and pointed to the small machine on his shoulder: "It's on."

"That's good!"

Luo Rui stared at the old man. According to the household registration, this man’s name was Zhao Gen, and he was 65 years old.

There was blood at the corner of Zhao Gen's mouth, and it was obvious that he was beaten by Lao Bao. The police officers present pretended not to see it.

In the early years, when bandits were rampant, when capturing a bandit named Bai, it was already good enough as long as they could keep him alive.

During the arrest, getting injured a little is nothing. Do you really want to use the criminal police's flesh and blood to resist?

The man had a defiant look on his face and a vicious look in his eyes. He looked like a bandit from the barbaric era decades ago.

"What's your name?"

Zhao Gen snorted coldly and did not answer.

Luo Rui looked at Li Nong. Li Nong nodded slightly and asked someone to close the door of the main room. Zhao Zhuer was also taken to another room.

The police officers present turned their backs and stood far away, fearing that the law enforcement recorders would pick up any sound.

Luo Rui then looked at Zhao Gen again: "You believe in Buddhism, right? I'll give you one last chance. Tell me who participated in the murder with your grandson last year?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Gen spat out a mouthful of saliva, which happened to land on Luo Rui's leather shoes.

"Okay, you're still being stubborn! You only have one grandson, right? Tell your son to have another one, or there will be no descendants."

Luo Rui walked into the next room, and soon, loud cursing and shouting were heard from inside.

Li Nong tried to stay away from the door and shook his head at the criminal police around him.

Not long after, Luo Rui brought Zhao Zhuer out and threw him to Lao Bao.

"Besides him and Fan Ming, there are two other people in the village, two brothers, who live in the east of the village. The last one went out of town and hasn't come back yet. They have two guns, and Fan Ming has another one, which was taken from the two dead people in Pingyang County."

Li Nong blinked and looked at Zhao Zhuer, and found that he looked like he had been fished out of the water. He was soaked all over and looked dejected, but there were no marks on his body.

Luo Rui said to Li Nong, "Oh, by the way, when we arrested him just now, Zhao Zhuer resisted and stuck his hands under the mattress. Three of his fingers were broken. This needs to be written down."

"Yes, that's right, I saw it too." Li Nong coughed and didn't take it seriously.

Because Yao Quan brought a lot of people, every household in the village was watched by someone.

It only took ten minutes to capture Zhao Zhuer.

At this moment, a group of people were moving non-stop towards the east side of the village.

Because Li Nong had notified everyone in advance via the intercom, many police officers had already gathered around the brick house.

This could not be hidden from the villagers working in the fields. In order to prevent these villagers from causing trouble, several criminal police officers took the village chief to appease them and confiscated all the villagers' hoes and sickles.

When Luo Rui and Li Nong arrived at the place, they saw that the brick house was very low and backlit, and there was a fish pond in front of the yard.

Fang Yonghui and Yang Bo hurried over and reported the situation: "Everyone is in the room. Apart from the two brothers, there seems to be no one else."

Luo Rui asked: "No hostages?"

Fang Yonghui shook his head: "We have been keeping an eye on it. We persuaded everyone who passed by the door to leave."

Li Nong said, "Okay, I'll go talk to them about the policy and ask them to come out and surrender."

Luo Rui disagreed: "Just arrest them! These guys are different from ordinary criminals. Who knows what they might do."

Li Nong hesitated for a moment, thinking about what Xiaowu had just experienced, and felt a little scared.

But he forgot that he had handed over the command to Luo Rui, who, without consulting him, had already led his men into the yard.

Li Nong followed him up and suddenly smelled smoke.

He secretly cried out in alarm, but at this time, Luo Rui had already jumped onto the stairs. He kicked the door open, and the people behind him rushed directly into the house.

At the same time, flames suddenly appeared in the shed to the left of the brick house.

"Don't move!"

"Quick, hold him down!"

"Watch out, damn it, he's got an axe!"

……

When Li Nong rushed in, one of the gangsters had already been controlled by Luo Rui.

The other one was blocked in the room, leaning against the wall, holding an axe in his hand and waving it around like crazy.

"Come on, let's die together. I'm going to go to paradise after I die. Kill one and there will be one more person to bury with my brother!"

Luo Rui handed the handcuffed gangster to Fang Yonghui and Yang Bo, then walked to the door. The criminal police holding a pistol in front of the door immediately made way.

"Come on, police, I'm afraid of you. If we have to die, we die together!"

Because the house was on fire, Li Nong quickly gathered people to put out the fire, leaving the scene to Luo Rui.

Faced with the crazy gangster, Luo Rui ignored him and directly picked up the steel fork from the person next to him, walked in, grabbed the axe, and then twisted it hard, and the axe fell to the ground.

The others rushed forward and controlled the man in an instant.

Two detectives grabbed his arms and twisted them behind his back.

Qi Lei grabbed his hair and lifted his head up.

"What's your name? Do you know why you were arrested?"

"Bah, fuck you!"

Qi Lei was not polite at all and pulled his hair hard.

"Zhao Dong, don't be ungrateful. We know exactly what you two brothers did. You'd better not resist!
We have already arrested Zhao Zhuer from your village, and we have also arrested the monk in the temple! I tell you, if you don’t confess, they will arrest you two brothers!”

"Fuck you, I'm not afraid of death, so why would I be afraid of them picking on me?"

"Well, the innocent people you killed will be blamed on you two brothers. I'll see whether you go to hell or heaven."

Zhao Dong lowered his head with a hesitant look in his eyes, and the Buddha pendant hanging around his neck swayed back and forth.

"take away!"

Qi Lei was too lazy to waste time talking to him and went to the interrogation room, not afraid that he would not confess.

Fortunately, there was a fish pond in front of the yard. When the village chief saw the fire, he led the villagers and put out the fire within half an hour.

There were five criminals in total, and three were arrested in Shahe County.

The people were taken to the village committee office and the suspect was temporarily detained in a room.

Because Yao Quan brought a large number of special police officers to capture Fan Ming in the temple.

Jiuhuai Village is surrounded by high mountains and dense forests, and the signal is very poor. Li Nong made several phone calls but could not get through.

"How about I take some people to take a look?" Luo Rui suggested.

"Okay, I'll stay here and keep an eye on these three people first."

Luo Rui selected a few people and, under the leadership of the village chief, hurried to the temple.

Halfway through, they saw a group of people, among whom was a policeman whom Luo Rui knew.

He immediately grabbed the other person's arm and asked, "Li Jun, where is your Yao Da?"

Li Jun walked hurriedly and kept waving forward. He had no time to answer and was sweating profusely.

Luo Rui looked carefully and saw behind him several people carrying a stretcher with a police officer lying on it, his abdomen covered in blood.

"Was he shot?" Fang Yonghui was shocked.

Li Jun wiped the sweat off his face, swallowed his saliva, and said, "When we went there, the monk was not in the temple. He was hiding halfway up the mountain with a gun. We saw that there was no one in the temple, so we started a search, but who knew that the bastard was hiding in the bushes and firing a gun."

Luo Rui asked hurriedly: "Has that person been caught?"

Li Jun shook his head: "We are not familiar with the terrain here, Yao Da has already led people to chase them!"

Fang Yonghui was also very anxious and asked hurriedly: "Didn't you bring special police with you? There are hundreds of people, how could someone escape?"

"Don't ask!" Luo Rui cut him off. "Which direction did Yao Da go?"

"There's a large orange grove below the temple on the south side of the mountain."

Luo Rui let him go and quickly ran down the mountain with the Seventh Squadron.

There is no road halfway up the mountain. It is a vertical mountain. You can either climb to the top of the mountain and then go down from the south, or go directly down the mountain to a slightly open place and go around. Of course, the latter saves more energy.

As soon as Luo Rui and his men arrived in the south, they saw police officers everywhere in the orange forest.

From all directions there were cries of "Dead!"

"The man fell to his death at the bottom of the slope!"

……

Hearing this, Fang Yonghui and Yang Bo looked at each other and their hearts skipped a beat.

Fan Ming was the most important criminal in this case, and he might be the principal offender. If he died during the arrest, there would be no way to report to the higher-ups. Not only would he have to write a self-criticism and be suspended from work, he would also have to deal with the supervisor and the court. When he arrived at the place, Luo Rui saw a steep slope at the edge of the forest, full of people.

The slope was not too steep, only about twenty meters, and was covered with weeds and exposed rocks. Theoretically, you wouldn't die if you rolled down, but it was hard to say. If you rolled too fast and hit your head on the rock, it could be fatal.

Luo Rui carefully went down the steep slope and saw Yao Quan squatting on the side with a dazed look on his face, while Fan Ming, who was wearing monk's clothes, fell in a pile of rocks. His head seemed to be broken and his face was covered in blood.

"It's dead!"

Several policemen checked Fan Ming's breath and shook their heads.

Luo Rui also walked over and saw a long gun dropped on the slope. A policeman hurried to pick it up.

Fan Ming is not tall, is a bit fat, and has six ordination scars on his head.

The arrest operation was rather hasty, and Luo Rui did not dare to confirm whether it was this person. He called the village chief and asked him to identify it carefully.

The village chief was already old, and he presided over and participated in all the weddings and funerals in the village. He had lived for most of his life and had seen quite a few deaths, but when he saw such a scene, he was still frightened and his legs went weak.

"Yes... yes, this is Fan Ming."

After he finished speaking, he stammered, "You...you guys...killed him?"

Fang Yonghui quickly covered his mouth and said, "No, Village Chief, please stop talking nonsense. Didn't you see it? He jumped down by himself and hit his head on the rock."

In order to convince him, several police officers quickly recounted the situation at the time of the incident, among which the criminal police from Pingyang County were the most fierce.

"He arrested us with a gun. Our comrade was shot by him and is still in danger! During our pursuit, he was running and firing back. When he got to this place, he had no way to go, so he jumped down the slope."

Luo Rui glanced at Yao Quan who had been silent.

Yao Quan's face was a little numb and he didn't say a word.

The village chief still didn't believe it: "No, if you didn't chase him, how could he die?"

"I tell you, old man, this matter is not your business!" a criminal police captain in Pingyang County scolded.

Luo Rui quickly pushed the man away: "Get out of the way!"

The man wanted to get angry, but when he saw Luo Rui, he immediately shut up and looked unfriendly.

Luo Rui took out a latex glove from his pocket, put it on, then took the rifle from Fan Ming, removed the magazine and took a look at it.

Seeing his actions, the criminal police from Pingyang County were suddenly stunned, and then stared at him with a fierce look.

He glanced at the detective and asked, "Did he fight back during the pursuit?"

This person couldn't help but: "Luo Rui, what do you want to do?"

Fang Yonghui and Yang Bo immediately stepped forward and stopped the man.

"What's wrong? Want to lose your temper? Our Luo Da asks you questions, just answer them!"

At this time, Yao Quan stood up: "I..."

Luo Rui hurriedly changed his subject: "Fan Ming should have fired more than one shot. Hurry up and call Director Zhao over to investigate the situation. Those who should leave should leave immediately and protect the scene."

After saying that, everyone suddenly understood and left with the village chief.

Only Luo Rui and Yao Quan were left at the scene.

Luo Rui handed the gun to him: "You can do whatever you want. There is only one bullet in the magazine, and Fan Ming only fired one shot."

Yao Quan shook his head: "During the arrest process, the person was me..."

Luo Rui didn't listen to the rest of the words and turned around to climb up the hill.

Yao Quan gritted his teeth and followed him up. Standing on the slope, he raised his gun and wanted to pull the trigger, but finally gave up.

"I kicked the man down accidentally while I was arresting him!"

Yao Quan lowered his head and threw the gun to the ground.

Luo Rui shook his head slightly and called everyone over. The criminal police with the camera started taking pictures. The body could not be moved immediately, so they had to call Zhao Ming and prepare to inspect the scene.

Of the six gangsters, one died, one escaped, and four were arrested. Among them, Zhao Gen may not have participated in the murder because of his disability, but he attacked police officers with a gun, so he was also taken away.

In addition to him, his son and daughter-in-law, as well as the criminal's immediate family members, were also taken into the police car.

At first, these people still wanted to resist, but after Li Nong explained the policy, they had no choice but to obey.

Li Nong was shocked when he heard that a police officer in Pingyang County was shot and the main culprit was dead.

However, he was also glad that there were no casualties on his side and the arrest operation went smoothly.

But the risks involved are imaginable. If Luo Rui hadn't strongly requested that everyone wear bulletproof vests, Xiao Wu would probably have been scrapped.

When the two Zhao brothers were arrested, it was obvious that they wanted to set themselves on fire. Fortunately, Luo Rui arrested them in time.

The police car was driving on the dirt road, and the criminal police had the safety pins on their guns, keeping alert at all times. As long as they did not leave the territory of Jiuhuai Village, everyone was extremely careful.

In those years, the people's tough character was not just talk. What would you do if a large group of people armed with hoes and sickles rushed out from both sides of the road?
Besides, Fan Ming is a monk and the abbot of the temple. There are probably many villagers whose brains were soaked by the flood and who are not in their right minds. These people are all fearless and unaware of death.

After hearing about the situation, Lu Kangming and Yang Yunqiao were already waiting at the gate of the county bureau.

Seeing the criminals being captured and no one on my side being injured, I felt relieved.

"Where's Xiaowu?"

As soon as Wu Di got out of the car, Lu Kangming hugged his shoulders.

"Good boy, I'm glad you're okay!"

Xiao Wu smiled shyly and took out the bulletproof vest from the car, with the bullet still on it.

Yang Yunqiao smacked his lips and said, "Give this thing to me. Once this case is over, I will take it to the province and city. Even if it is a poor county, the safety of the police officers must be guaranteed!"

Lu Kangming couldn't help nodding and looked at Li Nong and Luo Rui who had just gotten off the car: "We've heard about what happened. Old Lu is furious."

Yang Yunqiao said thoughtfully: "Should the suspect be handed over to them for interrogation? After all, they have suffered too much loss."

Lu Kangming shook his head: "Anyway, we have already reported it to the higher-ups. We are a special task force. If the case is solved, everyone will get credit. Lu Huzi is waiting to clean up the mess now. Besides, there is still one criminal who has not been arrested. The case is not over yet."

When Yang Yunqiao heard this, he stopped talking.

Immediately, the three criminals were locked in the interrogation room and prepared to be interrogated separately.

Inside interrogation room number one.

Zhao Zhuer sat in the interrogation chair with his hands handcuffed to the table.

He still looked defiant when he was caught, but now he was already afraid.

Luo Rui threw the materials in his hand onto the table, then turned on the camera according to the rules and introduced himself: "We are police officers from the Shahe County Criminal Police Brigade... We are now questioning you according to the law..."

Luo Rui then showed Zhao Zhuer the Notice of Litigation Rights and Obligations and asked him to sign it, and then asked him his name, age, ID number, etc.

Zhao Zhuer did not resist. After answering the question, he immediately said, "My grandfather did not participate in the murder. He is innocent!"

This almost made Luo Rui laugh. Didn't kill anyone? He wanted to kill someone but failed.

Zhao Zhuer seemed to be still unclear about the situation and shouted, "Really, my grandfather knows nothing, it was all us who did it!"

"Who told you to do it, and what did you do?"

"It was Master Huiru. More than a year ago, he said he wanted to build a statue of the Bodhisattva for the temple. He said the temple had no money and asked us to donate some money. Where would we get the money..."

Luo Rui glared at him and said, "Tell me your name. What's Master Huiru's name?"

"Fan Ming is a monk from outside the village. He has been in our village for more than ten years. The temple was bombarded by artillery before, so he has been doing odd jobs to earn money to repair the temple. He has been repairing it for more than ten years, but he has never made a statue of the Buddha. So he called a few of us to rob."

"Who were robbed?"

"I don't know them. I just followed them."

"who are they?"

"Fan Ming, the two brothers Zhao Qiang and Zhao Dong, and Niu Daming."

Luo Rui nodded and asked, "Where is Niu Daming?"

"He lives in the city, helping his daughter take care of her grandson. He only comes back to the village when he has time. Officer, I really didn't kill anyone. It was Niu Daming who selected the target, and then Zhao Qiang and Zhao Dong did it!"

Luo Rui stared at him closely: "How many people did you kill in total?"

When asked this, Zhao Zhuer suddenly lowered his head and remained silent.

In the case of information asymmetry, Luo Rui knew that the other party would conceal something, and the police usually relied on bluffing when interrogating him.

In this situation, it goes without saying that there is definitely something wrong with Zhao Zhuer.

So Luo Rui immediately changed his tone and whispered softly, "Zhao Zhu, you are still young and have a bright future ahead of you. If you have made significant contributions, we will consider commuting your sentence. The death penalty can be changed to suspended death sentence, and suspended death sentence can be changed to life imprisonment. You have been educated, so you should understand this, right?"

Zhao Zhuer remained silent.

"If you don't confess, and Zhao Qiang and Zhao Dong confess, your contribution will be gone. You are the only son in the family, you have to think clearly. Is it easy for your parents to raise you?"

Zhao Zhuer swallowed and raised his head.

"Really... can I really get a reprieve from death?"

Luo Rui smiled and said, "Will the police lie to you?"

As he spoke, Luo Rui pointed at the interrogation book with his pen and said, "I will write down everything you said in the file. When the prosecutor prosecutes, he will consider the sentence."

Qi Lei glanced at Luo Rui and complained in his heart, this lie was even better than his own, and he didn't know where he learned it from.

"Okay... okay, I'll confess!" Zhao Zhuer made up his mind and said, "From what I know, they killed eight people in total."

Hearing this, Luo Rui's expression changed immediately.

Eight people?
Five bodies were found in the culvert, and three of them were killed?
Qi Lei's heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't help but ask, "Tell me clearly, tell me in detail, how did you kill him? Where did you kill him?"

Zhao Zhuer said again: "There is one more thing..."

"what's up?"

"That's it... there's a cellar in the vegetable garden in the backyard of that temple, and two women are imprisoned inside..."
