I was a rookie reporter in the 00s

Li Wei and the police officer were shocked. They realized that Officer Wang's behavior might not be a simple betrayal. They decided to investigate further to find out the truth.

After the interrogation, Li Wei and the police officer walked out of the interrogation room. It was already dark outside. They felt a mixture of joy at uncovering the truth and the heaviness of facing the darkness.

The atmosphere in the police station's conference room was tense and serious. Li Wei, the police officer, Zhang Wanqing, and Fu Siyuan sat around the conference table, spread out before them a detailed map and several key documents. Officer Wang sat nearby, his eyes a touch anxious but more determined.

"According to the information provided by Officer Wang, the criminal group's next transaction location has been determined." Li Wei pointed to a marked point on the map and said, "This place is an abandoned dock, and the transaction time is set for tomorrow night."

The officer nodded. "We need a detailed plan to ensure the success of this operation. Officer Wang, are you familiar with this location?"

Officer Wang looked up and said, "Yes, I've been there before. This place is very remote, with almost no other buildings around. But its advantage is that there are multiple entrances from both sea and land, which makes our operation somewhat difficult."

Zhang Wanqing said softly, "We can use this to our advantage and surround them from different directions. At the same time, we need some internal support to ensure the smooth progress of the operation."

Fu Siyuan added, "I agree with Wanqing. We can arrange for some special police officers to disguise themselves as dock workers and enter the scene in advance. This will avoid arousing the suspicion of the criminal group."

Li Wei stood up and walked to the map. "Okay, let's proceed according to this plan. Officer, you will be responsible for coordinating the SWAT operations. Officer Wang, you will go to the scene with us to ensure that our actions will not be discovered."

The officer nodded. "I'll arrange that right away. We need to make sure every detail is perfect."

As night fell, the abandoned pier looked particularly eerie in the moonlight. The SWAT officers quietly approached their target, dividing into several teams and surrounding the pier from different directions. Zhang Wanqing and Fu Siyuan, dressed in plain clothes, blended in with the SWAT officers, their cameras ready to capture every detail.

Li Wei and Officer Wang walked in front, their eyes scanning the surroundings vigilantly. Officer Wang said softly, "Be careful, there might be an ambush here."

The SWAT officers quickly dispersed, surrounding the dock. The officer signaled Zhang Wanqing and Fu Siyuan to remain on the perimeter while he led the SWAT officers toward the center of the dock. With a loud bang, the gate flew open, and the SWAT officers rushed in.

The interior of the dock was pitch black, illuminated only by the beams of flashlights. The SWAT officers advanced cautiously, each step imbued with caution. The air was filled with a damp, musty smell, mixed with a faint odor of oil, making one frown. Underfoot was the crumbling concrete floor, and the occasional rustling of rats could be heard.

"It's too quiet here, something's wrong." Fu Siyuan whispered, with a hint of uneasiness in his voice.

Li Wei nodded and said, "Everyone be careful, there may be an ambush."

They passed through a narrow passage and arrived at a massive warehouse. Inside, it was filled with boxes and equipment. In the dim light, several figures loomed behind the boxes. The SWAT officers quickly apprehended the individuals, but a sense of unease welled up in Li Wei and the officer. This warehouse seemed vast, large enough to conceal even more secrets.

"Don't move, police!" the police officer shouted loudly, and the special police quickly controlled these people.

Zhang Wanqing and Fu Siyuan followed closely behind and entered the warehouse. They saw that the boxes were filled with various medicines and unidentified items. Zhang Wanqing felt a surge of anger in her heart, as she knew that these were the illegal trade items of the criminal group.

Just like before, there was a basement here. When they arrived at the basement, they saw the hostages again. The police quickly rescued the hostages. Just as they were about to leave, the criminals opened fire again, and the gun battle between the SWAT officers and the criminals was staged again.

Just as the gunfight was in full swing, suddenly, a shrill siren sounded from a distance. The SWAT officers and criminals stopped what they were doing and looked in the direction of the sound.

"Is...is it a police car?" A criminal's voice trembled, his eyes full of fear.

Li Wei and the police officer exchanged glances, both puzzled. They hadn't called for backup, so what did the sudden sirens mean?

At this moment, a special police officer suddenly rushed in, with a look of panic on his face. "Oh no! We are surrounded!"

Li Wei and the police officer's hearts sank as they realized this might be a trap. They quickly organized special police to defend the area, but the criminals took the opportunity to escape deep into the basement.

"Hurry, chase!" Li Wei shouted loudly, leading the special police to rush into the depths of the basement.

Deep in the basement was a massive laboratory. It was filled with various instruments and equipment, and in the center was a giant glass container filled with liquid. Within the liquid, a human figure floated.

"This is..." Zhang Wanqing's voice trembled, her eyes fixed on the figure in the glass container.

Li Wei and the police officer were also shocked. They realized that this laboratory might be a place where criminal groups conducted illegal human experiments.

"We must notify headquarters immediately. The situation here is much more serious than we thought." The police officer's voice was low and a little anxious.

At this moment, suddenly, the door of the laboratory was knocked open, and a group of people in black uniforms rushed in. They had weapons in their hands and a hint of indifference in their eyes.

"Who are you?" Li Wei shouted loudly, pointing the gun at the newcomers.

"We are..." A man in black just opened his mouth, and suddenly, a shrill siren sounded again, and then a group of real police rushed in.

"Put down your weapons, you are surrounded!" the real police shouted, pointing his gun at the man in black.

The people in black laid down their weapons and were controlled by the police.

As night deepened, the city lights gradually faded. In a secluded conference room, Zhang Wanqing, Fu Siyuan, Li Wei, and the police officer sat around a long table, piled high with documents and photos. Officer Wang sat nearby, his eyes a touch nervous, yet more determined. The lights in the conference room were dim, the only light gleaming on the wall from a projector: a criminal group's organizational chart.

"According to the information provided by Officer Wang, we have identified the top figure in the criminal group." Li Wei's voice was deep and powerful, his finger sliding across the organizational chart. "This person is the core of the entire criminal group. He is a wealthy businessman with a prominent position in the business world. His name is Zhao Tianxing."

The officer nodded. "We've been monitoring him for a long time, but we haven't found the right moment to take action. He's always surrounded by a large number of bodyguards, and his whereabouts are very secretive."

Zhang Wanqing said softly, "We need a plan, a plan that will allow us to get closer to him."

Fu Siyuan added, "I agree. We can use the power of the media to create a news event to attract his attention."

Li Wei stood up, walked to the window, and looked out at the night sky. "Okay, let's do this. Fu Siyuan, you'll be responsible for writing an exclusive report about the criminal group and creating public pressure. Zhang Wanqing, you and I will prepare a fake interview invitation to lure him out. Officer, you'll be responsible for arranging the special police operation and ensuring our safety."
