"Captain Tian, ​​please explain the situation!" Director Luo said, rubbing his temples.

"Director, comrades, last night, or rather, early this morning, another shooting incident occurred in Xushui County, J Province, where one sentry was killed and another wounded. A Type 81 rifle and three magazines were stolen! A total of ninety rounds of ammunition!" Tian Feng said with a solemn expression.

As soon as Tian Feng finished speaking, the entire conference room erupted in gasps of surprise.

"Could this have been done by that guy before? Wasn't he trying to steal a gun at the armored corps garrison? Too bad the sentry didn't let him succeed!" A deputy director said with a serious expression.

“Definitely! Otherwise, who would be so bold as to attack a sentry and steal his gun? To do something like this three times in such a short period of time? This person is incredibly audacious; it would be difficult to find a second one! It must have been done by the same person!” said the other leader.

"Comrades, this matter has been reported to the ministry. The ministry called me this morning, telling us that we must solve the case as soon as possible! This person is very dangerous! We absolutely cannot let him get away with it!" Director Luo said with a serious expression.

"Chief, do we have any leads regarding this criminal?" an officer asked.

"We don't have any useful leads yet. Immediately after the incident, our colleagues in Xushui cooperated with the armed police and the garrison to set up checkpoints, but we haven't found any suspicious persons. That person may still be hiding in Xushui. Our task is to continue investigating the previous two cases and see if we can find this person!" Director Luo said helplessly.

The meeting lasted all morning, but no one had any clues because there was too little useful information. No one had seen what the madman looked like; they only knew that he was one person, not a group!

Moreover, this person was very meticulous; his purpose in stealing the Type 56 semi-automatic rifle was to acquire the tools needed to steal the Type 81 rifle! It can be said that his motives were very clear!

“Old leader, here’s the situation. We investigated all the recently released prisoners who returned to Beijing, just as you suspected, and found nothing suspicious! But just as we finished our investigation, a shooting occurred in Xushui!” Tian Feng’s tone was full of guilt.

"No? Now we've confirmed that guy stole a Type 56 rifle and a Type 81 rifle. Since this guy is so meticulous, could it be that he left the guns in Xushui and didn't bring them back? Or did he travel light back to Beiping instead?" Zhao Cheng couldn't directly tell the police about Bai Baoshan; it wouldn't be clear. He could only guide them to find the guns first. Without the tools of the crime, let's see what Bai Baoshan can do.

"Old leader, do you mean that after this person grabbed the gun, he hid on the spot and then left alone?" Tian Feng's face was full of surprise when he heard Zhao Cheng's words.

“It’s not impossible. Judging from this guy’s style of doing things, he couldn’t have just left with the gun. He would have been caught easily. He must have hidden the gun in a secluded place! Tell Xu Shui to search within a five-kilometer radius of the crime scene! Even if you have to dig three feet into the ground, you have to find the gun!” Zhao Cheng said.

"Why five kilometers?" Tian Feng asked, puzzled.

“If we choose again, there’s a risk of being discovered! Actually, according to my estimate, the distance shouldn’t be more than two kilometers. How far is the Xushui military camp from the city? This person must hide the gun before encountering anyone, otherwise it’s pointless!” Zhao Cheng said.

"Okay, old leader, I'll report to the bureau chief right away!" Tian Feng agreed with Zhao Cheng's point of view.

Since no suspicious persons were caught in Xushui, it is very likely that, as the old leader analyzed, this person did not leave with a gun at all!

After hanging up the phone, Zhao Cheng carefully recalled the details of his past life. Because Bai Baoshan was known as the most notorious bandit in the country, his story was not only widely reported but also made into a TV series.

As a post-80s generation, Zhao Cheng had certainly watched this TV series, but because he was young at the time, he didn't have much of an impression of the details. After all, what child would want to watch such a TV series?

So he didn't know much. He just remembered that after Bai Baoshan robbed two guns in Beiping, he robbed a police station and got a pistol.

After that, he ran back to the western frontier to carry out his robbery plan. He didn't remember how he was caught, probably because he didn't finish watching the movie.

However, Zhao Cheng still remembered the details of Bai Baoshan hiding the gun, after all, this was already Bai Baoshan's routine operation, and it was with this operation that he evaded the police's initial pursuit.

After hanging up the phone, Tian Feng immediately ran to Director Luo's office and told Director Luo about Zhao Cheng's analysis.

"You know what, Mr. Zhao's analysis might actually be true! Otherwise, how could that person have escaped the inescapable net in Xushui?" Director Luo said excitedly.

"Chief, our old leader has been a policeman for so many years, what kind of cases hasn't he seen? Don't forget his nickname!" Tian Feng said with a smile.

"Haha, the Street Cleaner! The nemesis of crime! It's a force to be reckoned with by criminals of all ranks! How could I not know it?" Director Luo said with a laugh.

"So what do you think we should do now? Should we report it to the ministry or notify Xushui directly?" Tian Feng asked seriously.

"Let's notify the comrades in Xushui directly! Tell them this is General Manager Zhao's analysis! I think they will take it seriously! Let's wait and see. If Xushui needs support, we can also help by sending some people over! After all, if we really want to conduct a large-scale search around the crime scene, we can't skimp on manpower and resources!" Director Luo said after thinking for a moment.

"Okay, then I'll have to trouble you, Director, to call the Xushui County Bureau!" Tian Feng said with a smile.

Director Luo glanced at Tian Feng, shook his head helplessly, and picked up the phone to call the Xushui County Bureau.

Because the two places are not directly subordinate to each other, Xushui initially did not think it was possible; they still believed that the criminal was hiding in Xushui County.

It wasn't until Director Luo mentioned Zhao Cheng's name that the Xushui County Public Security Bureau truly took the matter seriously, and, in conjunction with the armed police and the garrison, organized a large-scale search around the military camp.

After a week of effort, the Xushui County Public Security Bureau finally found the two missing rifles and bullets, as well as the clothes that Bai Baoshan had buried there, in the abandoned brick kiln!

It has also been confirmed that the Type 56 rifle is the one that was lost in Shijingshan, and the Type 81 rifle is the one that was stolen a few days ago!

This news made the entire Xushui County Public Security Bureau happy. Although they couldn't catch the person now, at least they found the gun, which ruined all the criminals' plans!
