I was a rookie reporter in the 00s

In the night, a black sedan slowly drove through the streets of the eastern part of the city, seemingly in no hurry to leave. The police cars of the pursuit team followed silently, maintaining a safe distance. The officers inside were completely focused, their walkie-talkies ready to issue orders at any moment.

"The vehicle is entering an upscale residential complex," the tracking team leader whispered, his eyes fixed on the vehicle ahead. "There's an underground parking lot in the complex, we need to be careful."

"Got it, get ready for action." Fu Siyuan's voice came from the intercom. He and Zhang Wanqing were already waiting outside the community.

The black sedan slowly drove into the underground parking lot, its headlights streaking across the dimly lit area. The pursuit team sprang into action, with several police cars silently surrounding the entrance and exit of the parking lot.

"The vehicle has stopped and the target person is getting off." The leader of the tracking team whispered, his heart beating faster and the walkie-talkie in his hand trembling slightly.

"Stay hidden and wait until he enters the elevator before taking action." Fu Siyuan's voice came through the intercom. He and Zhang Wanqing were ready to provide support at any time.

In the parking lot, a mysterious figure emerged from a black sedan. He wore a black hat and sunglasses, covering most of his face. He glanced around, seemingly confirming the safety of his surroundings, and then quickly walked toward the elevator.

"He's entered the elevator." The leader of the tracking team whispered, "We're ready to act."

The elevator doors slowly closed, and the mysterious figure pressed a floor button. The tracking team sprang into action, with several officers following silently, while others stood by in the parking lot, ready to respond to any emergency.

The elevator stopped on the 15th floor, and the mysterious man walked out of the elevator quickly and walked straight to an apartment. He took the key from his pocket, opened the door, and walked in.

"He's entered the house." The leader of the tracking team whispered, "We're going to break the door."

"Wait." Fu Siyuan's voice came from the intercom, "First confirm the situation inside the house, don't alarm him."

The tracking team quickly took action outside the apartment. A police officer quietly approached the door and inserted a miniature camera into the crack to observe the situation inside the house.

"There's no one in the house except him," the officer whispered. "We can take action."

"Got it, prepare to break the door." Fu Siyuan's voice came from the intercom.

The tracking team acted quickly. A police officer kicked the door open and several police officers rushed into the house and subdued the mysterious man.

"Police! Don't move!" the police officers shouted, pressed the mysterious man to the ground and quickly handcuffed his hands.

The mysterious figure struggled to raise his head, a trace of fear flashing in his eyes: "You...you have caught the wrong person!"

"Wrong guy?" Fu Siyuan walked into the house and looked at him coldly. "We have your license plate number and Wu Tian's confession. Do you think you can get away with this?"

"Wu Tian? That idiot!" the mysterious figure cursed in a low voice, "He knows nothing!"

"Really?" Zhang Wanqing walked up to him and pulled a cell phone from his pocket. "Can you explain these call records?"

The mysterious man's face turned pale in an instant, and he realized that he had nowhere to hide.

"What's your name?" Fu Siyuan asked coldly.

"I... my name is Zhou Ming." The mysterious figure lowered his head with a hint of despair in his eyes.

"Zhou Ming, you're under arrest." Fu Siyuan handcuffed him. "You're suspected of organizing a criminal network, trafficking dog meat, and a host of other crimes."

"You have no evidence!" Zhou Ming tried to resist, but the police officers quickly subdued him.

"Evidence?" Zhang Wanqing sneered. "We have plenty of evidence. Your phone, call records, and Wu Tian's confession are enough to bring you to court."

"You can't do this!" Zhou Ming struggled, but it was too late.

The officers escorted Zhou Ming out of the apartment and into a police car. Fu Siyuan and Zhang Wanqing stood by, watching him being taken away, their hearts filled with mixed emotions.

"He might be the mastermind behind the entire criminal network," Fu Siyuan whispered. "Wu Tian is just his pawn."

"Well, we must investigate his background." Zhang Wanqing nodded. "He must have other accomplices."

"I'll arrange for someone to investigate," Fu Siyuan said, "We can't let go of any clues."

Soon after, based on the list Wu Tian provided, other accomplices were also arrested.

After Zhou Ming was arrested, the police quickly launched a series of follow-up operations to ensure that the criminal network behind him was completely destroyed and to dig deep into other possible illegal and criminal activities.

Police will conduct an in-depth interrogation of Zhou Ming, focusing on key information such as his role in the criminal network, his relationships with superiors and subordinates, and the flow of funds. Simultaneously, police will use technical means and on-site searches to further collect evidence from his mobile phone, computer, and other electronic devices to ensure a complete chain of evidence.

Based on Zhou Ming's confession and the clues they have, the police will launch a comprehensive crackdown on the upstream and downstream criminal gangs involved. This includes further investigations into dog meat processing plants, farmers' markets, and other distribution points, as well as the elimination of other potential black and gray production chains. The police will adhere to the principle of "attacking the source, destroying the platform, and breaking the chain" to ensure a comprehensive crackdown.

To ensure the effectiveness of the crackdown, the police will work with market supervision, cybersecurity and informatization departments to rectify illegal trading venues involved and block the space for criminal activities. At the same time, in response to possible cybercrime, the police will launch a special "clean-up" operation to remove illegal and harmful information from the internet.

The police will investigate the flow of funds used by Zhou Ming and his gang, freeze related accounts, and recover illegal proceeds. By collaborating with financial institutions to track the capital chain, they will ensure the criminals' economic foundation is completely destroyed.

To prevent similar crimes from happening again, the police will work with communities and schools to carry out publicity and education activities to improve the public's ability to identify illegal and criminal activities. At the same time, typical cases will be published through the media to deter potential criminals.

In response to the regulatory loopholes exposed by this case, the police will promote the improvement of relevant laws and regulations and strengthen law enforcement supervision. At the same time, they will establish a regular intelligence sharing and joint law enforcement mechanism to ensure long-term and effective crackdown on illegal and criminal activities.

Through the above actions, the police not only completely destroyed the criminal group headed by Zhou Ming and Wu Tian, ​​as well as the criminal network behind them, but also prevented the continuation of similar criminal acts from the source and maintained long-term social stability.
