Detective: From the Police Academy

Chapter 248 Confrontation
"get off!"

"Get down! Damn it, I told you to get down!"

"What is your name?"

"My name is Niu Lizhong!"

When Luo Rui and his group ran forward, a fat man in a white T-shirt was dragged out of the van by a group of people and pressed to the ground.

When the plainclothes drug enforcement police saw their group, they instinctively turned their guns towards them.

Luo Rui quickly waved his hands: "Don't be nervous! We are from the Haijiang District Criminal Investigation Team!"

At this time, Liao Kang turned around from the other side of the car and nodded to the men holding guns: "Put down your guns, we are all on the same side."

"Sorry, Luo Rui, we just received the news too." He looked at the man on the ground: "This man is a mule."

Luo Rui understood that a mule is someone who carries goods.

Soon, a plainclothes officer climbed out of the car, holding a transparent bag in his hand.

"Liao Zhi, this was found in the interlayer under the seat cushion. It weighs at least one kilogram."

"Okay!" Liao Kang showed a smile. Catching a person was nothing. If the goods could be found as well, that would be irrefutable evidence.

This amount is enough to get this guy shot, and it is also easy to control.

Luo Rui's gang had little contact with drug enforcement police, so when they arrived at the scene, they all had curiosity in their eyes.

In addition to the goods, they also confiscated a five-kilogram gas tank, a homemade rifle and a machete from the car.

The fat man named Niu Lizhong was picked up. He looked dejected and didn't dare to look up. He knew very well the consequences he was about to face.

If I'm lucky, I can survive until next year and have dumplings for the New Year's Eve dinner.

If you are unlucky, you will have to eat peanuts at the end of the year.

Liao Kang didn't want to talk to Luo Rui at the moment. There was a D hidden in the van, and he was carrying weapons. Who was Niu Lizhong's next buyer? If he didn't follow the clues, it would be a waste of time.

The three cars in the middle of the road were immediately cleared away and parked in a row on the side of the road.

Niu Lizhong was taken to the back seat of a police car, with his hands tied behind his back and handcuffed.

The door was open and a group of plainclothes officers and criminal squad members surrounded the police car.

Liao Kang took out a cigarette, lit it, and put it to Niu Lizhong's lips.

Niu Lizhong looked up at him, his inverted triangle eyes revealing a look of gratitude.

He took two puffs and nodded.

Liao Kang threw the unfinished cigarette on the ground and crushed it with the sole of his shoe.

"Niu Lizhong, where are you from?"

“Local!”

"Who's here?"

When asked this, Niu Lizhong hesitated and said nothing.

Liao Kang patted the roof of the car and said, "Niu Lizhong, you have to understand that any of those things in your car is enough to get you shot! I see that you are already in your thirties. Are you married? Do you have children? Think about them and don't risk your life!"

Niu Lizhong gritted his teeth and said, "I said, can I make amends for my crime?"

Liao Kang patted his chest and said, "You see, this is a law enforcement recorder. Everything you say will be recorded. I'm the captain of the city's anti-drug detachment. I promise you, if you help us catch someone, it will be considered meritorious service!"

Niu Lizhong swallowed his saliva and asked, "Can the death penalty be avoided?"

Liao Kang chuckled and glanced at Luo Rui.

Niu Lizhong understood his situation very well and had a strong desire to live.

"That depends on how many people you give up! Let me tell you this, there is a difference between arresting one person and arresting a group of people. If you can name a few more people and places, your chances of survival will be much greater."

“I only know one place.”

"you say!"

Niu Lizhong hesitated for a while and said, "I'm going to get the goods."

"Who can I get it from? Where is the location?"

"I don't know. The locations are all random and we contacted each other using anonymous cell phones."

At this time, a plainclothes officer nearby quickly took out Niu Lizhong's Nokia mobile phone, which he had just found from the other party.

Liao Kang took the phone, called up the call log, and asked, "Which phone number?"

"No, we don't call, we always communicate via text messages."

Liao Kang checked the SMS records and saw only one SMS message, which was sent at four o'clock in the afternoon.

Luo Rui leaned over and saw the text message: [Four thirty in the afternoon. Sky, gold, red roses.]

Liao Kang raised his head: "What does this text message mean?"

Niu Lizhong said: "Tianhe District, Jinquan Road, trash can with red roses, which means there are red roses on the trash can on Jinquan Road, and the goods are in the trash can."

Liao Kang and Luo Rui looked at each other. Delivering goods in a trash can?
“You don’t touch?”

Niu Lizhong shook his head: "I don't know who released the goods. Every time I drove into the city, I stayed in the car and waited for the text message, and then went to pick up the goods according to the address given in the text message."

“How many times did you pick up the goods?”

"Five times. I wasn't responsible for getting the goods before."

"Besides you, how many other people are there? Where is the location?"

Niu Lizhong hesitated and said, "Officer, can I really survive? You have to keep your word!"

Liao Kang nodded but said nothing. The law enforcement recorder could not capture his face.

"Besides me, there are three other people. The leader is Liang Jun. He is the boss!"

"Where exactly is it?"

"The auto repair shop in Baiqiao Town, Tianhe District, is owned by Liang Jun. We all rely on him for a living."

"Okay, I understand!" Liao Kang nodded and looked at his two subordinates: "Take him with you."

After giving the order, he looked at Luo Rui, who had been standing aside without saying anything.

"This is an urgent matter. I can't sit down and discuss it with you. How about you go back first?"

Luo Rui glanced at Cai Xiaojing, then said, "If necessary, we can go with you. We will be working together anyway."

Liao Kang looked at Luo Rui's teammates. Luo Rui's ability was unquestionable, but it was hard to say about the others.

"Tonight's operation is different from the criminals you arrested. These guys are desperate criminals and they all carry guns. There is a great risk."

He said this in a loud voice, mainly for these people to hear.

Cai Xiaojing said, "Wait a minute, I'll report to Director Wei first."

Luo Rui nodded and looked at his teammates.

Fang Yonghui, Yang Bo and Chu Yang among the group were all excited, but Qi Lei and Tian Guangrong were frowning. They were obviously very nervous about the danger in front of them.

Cai Xiaojing put down the phone and walked up to Luo Rui and Liao Kang.

"Director Wei said that everything will be subject to Liao Zhi's instructions."

Liao Kang pursed his lips. The old fox Wei Qunshan’s meaning was very clear. If anything happened to his people, Liao Kang would definitely be responsible.

If he didn't mean that, he wouldn't have asked me to handle it myself. After all, Luo Rui was the boss of these people.

Liao Kang thought for a moment and said, "Then let's go together! We don't have enough bulletproof vests. Luo Rui, let's do this. Your people will stay outside and we will be responsible for the arrest."

"Row!"

In addition to the eight people on Luo Rui's side, there are about ten people on Liao Kang's side.

The group drove two cars towards Baiqiao Town.

In addition, Liao Kang also notified the Municipal Bureau, and the armed police and police dog squadron have also set off.

Having been delayed for such a long time on the road, Liao Kang was afraid that the Liang army would become suspicious, so he had to act quickly and could not wait for reinforcements to arrive before taking action.

in the car.

Liao Kang threw the bulletproof vest to Luo Rui: "Put it on, this is the only one left."

Luo Rui took the bulletproof vest and handed it to Cai Xiaojing who was sitting in the passenger seat: "Captain Cai, here you go."

Cai Xiaojing hesitated, but Luo Rui ignored her and threw her directly into her arms.

Then, he turned to look at Liao Kang: "Tell me, what's going on?"

Liao Kang pulled out his pistol, checked the ammunition, and said, "I have a special agent who can contact these people. After Zhang Xun's line was cut off, it has been this special agent who has been providing me with information.

He was the one who told me what happened today.

When we encounter a big fish, we will not cast the net easily. We must wait until the big fish comes in and we are 90% sure before we start to catch it.

But Niu Lizhong is a small fish, and his source of goods is provided by the group of people that Zhang Xun had contacted before.

So, we decided to arrest people first to see if we can find the source of the goods.”

Luo Rui narrowed his eyes and asked, "Do you have another special situation?"

Liao Kang nodded: "This person is not a policeman, but a businessman. He can only be involved in some peripheral matters."

Luo Rui suddenly remembered the movie House of Flying Daggers, in which Andy Lau played the role of the chief constable, who was an undercover agent planted by the Flying Knife Sect in the government office.

"Is this person reliable?"

"He's fine!" Liao Kang said, "If we talk about trust, I think he's more reliable than Zhang Xun."

Luo Rui could hear that in Liao Kang's mind, Zhang Xun was very suspicious and did not seem to be as innocent as Nong Ying said.

"Tell me, who was Zhang Xun dealing with in the past?"

"We have been tracking this gang for five years. Three years ago, Zhang Xun joined the gang and then disappeared. We only know the leader of this gang, nicknamed Brother Snake."

"Brother Snake?"

Liao Kang nodded: "After Zhang Xun disappeared, all clues were lost. Luo Rui, this matter is very complicated. No one knows where Zhang Xun disappeared to and what happened to the money. I will talk to you in detail after tonight."

"Okay!" Luo Rui nodded.

Liao Kang patted him on the shoulder, then picked up the walkie-talkie and began to assign tasks.

Half an hour later, we arrived at Baiqiao Town.

This town is very big. It is right next to the suburbs and is the only way into the city, so it is crowded with shops and has a large population.

Liao Kang did not notify the local police station. Other cases might be easy to deal with, but when it came to a major case like D, no one knew what the situation was like. If the news leaked out, all plans would be ruined.

The auto repair shop that Niu Lizhong mentioned is a factory building facing the street. It is not small in size and is next to a restaurant. In particular, there is a KTV at the intersection across the street.

It's only eight o'clock in the evening, and neon lights are flashing in front of the KTV. It's the peak business time.

Without Liao Kang's words, everyone in the car felt that KTV was difficult to deal with.

In this era, KTVs and nightclubs are the main places involving adultery. In the past few years, these things have tended to spread to students.

Liao Kang got out of the car and looked around, especially the repair shop. There were two doors, front and back. The roller shutter of the front door had been pulled down, so no lights could be seen inside.

Unable to figure out what was going on, Liao Kang returned to the car, picked up the intercom, and said solemnly: "Everyone, please turn on the law enforcement recorder and start checking the watches!"

"Eight and five!"

"Eight and six!"

……

Liao Kang continued, "Bangzi, drive your car around to the back door of the repair shop. Don't get out of the car yet. Keep an eye on the back door!"

"Okay!" "Panda, drive your car to the front door, right on the curb, open the door, and be ready to act at any time!"

"Okay." A female voice came out.

Liao Kang was riding in Luo Rui's car. He looked at Luo Rui and said, "Let's wait for a while until the reinforcements arrive, and then we can act."

The two cars driven by Luo Rui and his team were parked between the KTV and the repair shop, close to the roadside.

Niu Lizhong has photos of three accomplices in his mobile phone. Liang Jun is a thin man with a beard, and the other two are his cousins.

Luo Rui didn't say a word. He took out his pistol and checked the ammunition.

Because they came here at short notice, he and Cai Xiaojing were the only ones in the criminal team who carried guns.

The previous arrangement was that each member of the criminal team would be followed by a narcotics enforcement officer to prevent any accidents.

The police have strict gun control. Even if Liao Kang has extra guns, they will not be allowed to use them.

Moreover, the guns carried by each person cannot be used by their companions unless human lives are at stake.

Unlike America, where the proliferation of guns is terrifying, the police station not only equips the officers with guns, but the officers can also buy heavy firepower weapons themselves if they feel the firepower is not enough. When patrolling, the car stops for inspection. If the patrol officer thinks the suspect is about to pull out a gun, he will immediately fire a burst of weapons to empty the magazine. This is called American style Iai.

Liao Kang was always paying attention to the movements on both sides.

"Ding-ling, ding-ling, ding-ling..."

But at this moment, the Nokia phone in his hand suddenly rang.

This is Niu Lizhong's cell phone, and the caller ID on the screen shows a person named "Brother Jun".

Liao Kang's heart was in his throat. He quickly pulled Niu Lizhong over and ordered, "Listen, don't talk nonsense. If they ask you why you haven't returned yet, just say that you ran into a drunk driving inspection on your way back and you took a detour. Do you understand?"

Niu Lizhong nodded: "I understand!"

"Okay, I answered it!"

Liao Kang pressed the answer button, and everyone in the car held their breath.

"Hey, Old Cow, why the hell haven't you come back yet?"

"Jun... Jun, I met a traffic police officer checking for drunk driving. I took a detour and will..."

"Traffic police? Where's the cargo?"

"The goods are here, I'll be right back!"

Niu Lizhong was sweating profusely and his eyes rolled several times. Luo Rui sat next to him.

Liang Jun didn't say anything else, but he didn't hang up the phone. The sound of singing could be heard faintly.

Suddenly, Niu Lizhong stretched his neck. Luo Rui noticed his movement. He stretched out his hand and hurriedly tried to cover the other's mouth, but it was too late.

"Brother Jun, run, run..."

"Fuck you!" Liao Kang's heart skipped a beat and he quickly picked up the intercom: "The suspect is in the KTV. Leave four people to watch over the repair shop, and the rest of you go into the KTV to arrest him!"

At the same time, a group of people got out of the car and ran towards the entrance of the KTV.

There were two security guards standing at the door, trying to stop them.

"Don't move!" Liao Kang shouted, "We are the police!"

He handed the two security guards over to the plainclothes police who caught up with him, and then led them into the lobby.

"Two people guard the elevator."

"Leave two more people to guard the stairs, and the others follow!"

……

Going up to the second floor, the loud music vibrated my eardrums, and there were several people standing at the front desk.

Liao Kang stepped forward and showed his ID.

Luo Rui noticed that Liao Kang's people moved very quickly. In almost the blink of an eye, they had guarded all the entrances and exits of the KTV. There were people standing even in the corridors. Customers coming out of the private rooms were immediately asked to go back and were not allowed to enter or leave at will.

This KTV is not big, with more than 20 private rooms in total, but there are many people in the rooms.

A few minutes later, a voice came from Liao Kang's intercom: "Fire escape, people are blocking the fire escape, third floor! Third floor! The suspect has a gun!"

This was followed by intense gunfire.

Liao Kang hurried to the stairwell and pushed open the door. He then saw a plainclothes officer named Bangzi and another policeman, holding pistols and shooting at the upstairs.

Luo Rui also followed. Seeing this, he pulled out his gun and asked, "How many people are there in total?"

The stick replied: "Three! All of them are here!"

Several people hid behind the door and stair railings, staring up.

But the lighting in the stairwell was very dim and I couldn't see clearly what was going on upstairs.

Previously, they checked outside and found out that the building had five floors in total and the buildings were adjacent to each other. If the door on the rooftop was not locked, the criminals could have sneaked to other floors and escaped.

Liao Kang quickly gave orders and organized people to block the way.

Luo Rui leaned forward and fired a shot upwards. Seeing no return fire, he dodged, leaned against the wall, and slowly moved upwards.

Seeing this, Bangzi and others hurriedly followed him.

At the corner of the third floor, there was no one, but there was a pool of blood on the ground.

Luo Rui walked up slowly, trying to keep his steps as low as possible.

"boom!"

When he was almost reaching the fourth floor, a bullet was fired and hit right at his feet.

Luo Rui quickly dodged to the other side...

"Bang! Bang!"

Another volley of bullets hit where he had been standing before, splashing cement on the ground.

At this time, shouting is useless, because the other party is obviously trying to kill themselves!
After the gunfire stopped, Luo Rui continued to move forward.

When he was almost reaching the fourth floor, he saw a hand sticking out from the gap in the stair railing, with the muzzle of a gun pointing downwards.

Almost instantly, Luo Rui raised his gun and fired without saying a word.

"boom!"

A bullet hit the man's wrist, and the gun in his hand fell from the building.

"Ah!" The man upstairs cried out in pain.

"Bang! Bang!"

Just in case, Luo Rui fired two more shots. Seeing no return fire, he ran upstairs in two or three steps.

A short man was lying on the steps. He had been shot once in the wrist and once in the leg. These shots should have been fired by the gang members earlier.

This man's nickname is Skinny Monkey, and he is one of Liang Jun's accomplices.

"Where are the other two?" Luo Rui asked.

Liao Kang hurried forward, holding a gun and looking upwards on guard. Ba Zi took two steps upwards and shouted "safe". Then he and Liao Kang walked upwards alternately.

The skinny monkey covered his hands and wailed loudly, not answering at all.

"I'm asking you a question!" Luo Rui grabbed the other person's hand that was shot.

"Fuck you, why should I tell you?"

"Alright! You have guts! Resisting arrest with a gun! Get ready to die!"

Luo Rui handed him to the people who came behind him and ran upstairs.

The door to the rooftop was not locked. As soon as Luo Rui went up, he heard the sound of fierce gunfire.

"Bang! Bang!"

Liao Kang and Bangzi hid behind the pillars. When they saw Luo Rui, Liao Kang immediately shouted, "Hide, hide first, the other party has a spear in his hand!"

As soon as Luo Rui took a step forward, a bullet hit him.

He quickly retracted his foot and glanced outside.

There were many pipes on the rooftop, and the two men hid at the three o'clock direction, also behind the pillars.

The police officers downstairs gathered in the corridor. Seeing Liao Kang waving his hands vigorously, no one dared to go out.

At this time, the two sides began to stalemate. As long as Liao Kang showed his body, the other side would shoot at him.

Luo Rui wanted to rush out, but was held back by Cai Xiaojing behind him.

"do not go!"

The panda next to him also said: "The special police will be here soon. Our colleagues are watching from the rooftops on both sides. These two people can't get out!"

Liao Kang naturally knew this, so he did not take any more risks. Instead, he shouted to the front: "We are from the city's anti-drug detachment. My name is Liao Kang. You should have heard of my name in this line of work. Put down the gun, try to get leniency, and don't resist foolishly!"

"Bang, bang!"

In response, he was met with a volley of bullets, which hit the pillar behind where he was hiding, splashing a ball of sparks in the dark night.

"I don't care who you are! Let us go, or I will kill you. We have hostages!"

"Hostage?" Luo Rui muttered. He knew very well what this meant.

His heart sank and he raised the gun in his hand, pointing the muzzle at the three o'clock position.

Liao Kang also realized the seriousness of the problem. He did not expect that when Liang Jun decided to escape, he actually took hostages.

Sure enough, a woman's cry came from behind the pillar 20 meters away, and she shouted at the top of her lungs: "Help, help me!"

Then, a voice that I thought belonged to Liang Jun shouted, "Did you hear me? If you don't let us go, I will kill her! I'll give you ten seconds to withdraw all your people."

"one!"

"two!"

……

The suspect did not engage with the police at all, but took the initiative.

Before he counted to three, Luo Rui shouted outside: "Listen, let us take a look at the hostages. If we are sure that they are hostages, we will let you go immediately!"

Sure enough, the other party hesitated for a moment, then stopped counting and shouted, "Do you mean what you said?"

"Killing someone won't do you any good! I mean what I say!"

"Alright! If you still block my way after seeing this person, I promise you will definitely regret it!"

Luo Rui didn't say anything else. He put down his gun, stepped onto the roof, then turned to the three o'clock direction and made a gesture to Liao Kang who was hiding behind a pillar.

Then, a woman was held hostage and appeared from behind the three o'clock pillar.

The other side shouted: "Hey, you..."

Before he could finish his words, a gunshot suddenly rang in his ears.

"boom!"

He thought it was his companion who fired the gun. Just as he was about to turn his head, the bullet entered his left eye and exited from the back of his head, creating a cloud of blood mist.

Liang Jun, who was hiding behind a pillar, was shocked. He didn't expect the police on the opposite side to be so unsportsmanlike and dared to shoot as soon as the man showed his head.

He raised his gun and wanted to kill the hostage, but a man jumped out from his side, pointed the black muzzle of the gun at him, and pulled the trigger without hesitation.

"boom!"

……

Sorry, it’s a little late. I had takeout for lunch and my stomach felt uncomfortable the whole afternoon. I vomited several times. When you eat takeout, you should find a cleaner restaurant, especially in the summer when it’s easy to get sick.
