Chapter 125 Night Raid

After hanging up the phone with Wu Zhongguo, Chen Zhenzhu sat down at the coffee table and patted her cheeks.

Lu Ye was still unaware of what Wu Zhongguo had said on the other end of the phone, but upon hearing Shen Zhenzhu's analysis, it didn't seem to be a good thing.

“It’s confirmed that a gang has targeted me.” Shen Zhenzhu said calmly, “Tell the brothers outside to go to the shop first and take my mother and Yuyuan to a safe place for protection.”

"Okay." Lu Ye glanced at Chen Zhenzhu's face and couldn't help but say while putting on his shoes, "You really can handle things."

With a forced smile, Shen Zhenzhu said, "Fear won't solve the problem. The only way is to get rid of the person who caused the problem."

If they dared to target her, they can certainly bear the consequences.

Lu Ye found out that Shen Zhenzhu wasn't unangry; she was extremely angry.

I arrived at Sister Liu's restaurant from home, just after selling breakfast, and the restaurant was temporarily closing.

This is the first time in three years.

The neighbors came out to watch, and they could more or less sense the increased number of patrolling police and plainclothes officers on the street.

Shen Liuhe gave Xiao Li and the others a day off, and told them to notify her of their work schedule later. She stood at the door waiting for Shen Zhenzhu to come and pick them up.

Soon, Shen Zhenzhu arrived, along with Lu Ye and a group of agents. They were all armed and politely invited them into the car.

"Something must have happened?" Uncle Lu stopped taking pictures, put down his camera, and watched the police car leave with concern.

Yuan Jiangxue said, "Pah, it must be some blind fool trying to get revenge on our daughter. They'd better keep their eyes open. Our old friend isn't home, so we have to keep an eye on the shop for her."

"You don't need to tell me that." Uncle Pang, carrying breakfast, and Grandpa Zhang walked over together. "We've been neighbors for decades. Who can just stand by and watch something happen to them?"

Grandpa Zhang said, "Sigh, it's finally gotten better these past two years, please don't let anything happen to you."

On her way to the safe house, Chen Zhenzhu made a phone call to Zhou Qiushi's office.

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Qiushi slammed his fist on the boss's desk and angrily called over the security team, saying, "Arrest more people patrolling the milk tea flagship store. Anyone who dares to mess with us will be arrested. I'll take responsibility for the consequences."

"What's wrong?" Liu Leqin came out of the inner lounge and said softly, "Why are you so angry?"

Zhou Qiushi didn't know much, and simply told Liu Leqin, "Someone wants to take revenge on my goddaughter. She even called to warn us to be careful."

Even though Liu Leqin was gentle and mild-mannered, she was so angry that she glared at him and said, "I think the person who reported this is blind!"

......

Shenyang City Criminal Investigation Brigade.

Xiao Bai, clutching the test report, ran breathlessly back to the office and said urgently, "The solution ratio is consistent with what Liancheng gave us, which confirms that 'Eye Wall' and the case over there belong to the same criminal organization."

Liu Yiyang picked up the phone and called Gu Yanzheng to inform him of the result. After a brief conversation, Liu Yiyang angrily exclaimed, "This is utterly lawless!"

Xiao Bai rarely saw Liu Yiyang lose his temper. After leaving messages on the pagers for everyone in the team, she ran over to Liu Yiyang and asked, "Are there other victims?"

Liu Yiyang didn't hide anything from her and told Xiaobai about the criminal organization's attempt to target Shen Zhenzhu.

"'Michael of the East'? They've got guts! Did they arrange for Sister Pearl to be hit by a car?"

"The driver is dead, but Captain Gu suspects it's related to them."

Xiao Bai said angrily, "How can this be! Captain Liu, if you're going to combine the cases, can I apply to go with you?"

Song Xinchen came in from outside. The "Eye Wall" case had been going on for a month with no progress whatsoever.

Hearing Xiaobai fuss about going on a business trip to Liancheng, I said, "You want to go to Liancheng to feed the seagulls again?"

Xiao Bai stopped talking to him and went around to Liu Yiyang's side, pleading, "Sister Pearl can't be in danger. I beg you to take me there. She doesn't have any suitable female teammates to support her. I'm sure I can help her if I go."

Liu Yiyang said helplessly, "This kind of case is extremely dangerous. If she gets into danger, someone will protect her, but what if you get into danger?"

Recalling her internship experience, Xiao Bai poured out her heart: "It's only right that someone protects Sister Pearl if she's in danger, since she's considered a target. But why are you always worried about me getting into danger? Are the people in the criminal investigation team divided into different classes? Some people can charge into battle, while others can just sit back and enjoy the fruits of their labor?"

Liu Yiyang, unable to contain himself any longer, said, "You've studied computers, so once you're officially hired, you can handle the clerical work in the Major Crimes Unit. You also have opportunities for promotion and salary increases based on your years of service. You can even handle low-risk cases. Why are you knowingly heading into dangerous territory?!"

Xiao Bai asked, "Do all women receive this treatment, or is it just me?"

Song Xinchen asked from the side, "What do you mean?"

Xiao Bai stared intently at Liu Yiyang and said, "Are you worried that if I get hurt, you won't be able to explain it to my dad?"

"I admit that this factor played a role." Liu Yiyang frankly admitted, "As Director Zhou's family member, you should have been entitled to special protection!"

"Special protection my ass!" Xiaobai's face turned pale with anger. Overwhelmed with sorrow, she tried her best to keep her emotions in check. After a few seconds, she said, "Do you know how much worse you are than Sister Pearl?"

Liu Yiyang was also getting a little angry, and said with a sneer, "Just because you lost to her in a 'grand competition,' you can talk about your boss like that? Then tell me, in what way am I worse than her? Have I solved fewer cases? Have I arrested fewer suspects? Have I committed crimes or acted as a protector?"

Xiao Bai sneered and said, word by word, "You don't have any of those things, but you treat me like a flower in a greenhouse, while Sister Pearl treats me like a towering tree! You've never respected me at all!"

These words left Liu Yiyang speechless: "You, you..."

He stood in front of Xiaobai with a livid face, and after a long while said, "Fine, go if you want, but bear the consequences!"

Song Xinchen was shocked: "This won't do, Captain Liu. Don't gamble your future career just because of a few words from a young girl."

"Official career is bullshit!" Even Liu Yiyang, with his excellent self-control, couldn't hold back anymore, feeling that his good intentions had been wasted.

Xiao Bai retorted, "What do you mean, 'little girl'? I'm fresh blood in the criminal investigation line. You'd better figure yourself out before you talk to me like that!"

"These...these two must have been on edge, right?" Song Xinchen stood in the office, caught in the middle.

***

Liancheng Criminal Investigation Brigade, Fourth Team Office.

"I'm here." After settling her sixth sister and Shen Yuyuan in, Shen Zhenzhu strode confidently into the office.

Upon entering the office, I found no one speaking, and the atmosphere was so oppressive that it was hard to breathe.

She first went behind Wu Zhongguo to massage his shoulders and back, then took out several boxes of dark black duck and put them on the table for Zhao Qiqi to eat.

Finally, he ran to the eye of the storm—to Gu Yanzheng's desk, rested his chin on the table, clung to the edge, and stared at Gu Yanzheng with his bright, sparkling eyes.

Gu Yanzheng was engrossed in organizing the clues, while she, like an outsider, scratched the back of her brother's hand and then his forearm, noticing that he was extremely tense.

"Brother Zheng..."

"Um?"

"Brother Zheng, are you sleepy?"

"Not sleepy."

Are you hungry?

I'm not hungry.

Are you worried about me?

Gu Yanzheng couldn't ignore the seemingly casual words, so he capped the pen, turned his head, and quietly looked at the swaying head: "Not dizzy anymore?"

"So you're worried about me." Shen Zhenzhu found the answer herself and said confidently, "Actually, I'm not afraid at all. Do you know how many people are protecting me? On the contrary, I'm itching to eat them up."

“Don’t you dare touch those bastards, they’re all rotten and stinking,” Wu Zhongguo said.

Zhao Qiqi had no appetite and said, "It's still some shady stuff from the gutter that can't see the light of day."

Lu Ye said, "I'd feel like I wasted bullets if I shot ten of these trashy animals. Once I catch my 'superior,' I'll see how I deal with them."

"It's good that you have such ideas! Criminal police officers should hate evil as if it were their enemy." Director Tu's loud voice came from the doorway. He had received Gu Yanzheng's report from the Municipal Bureau and came over without saying a word after putting down his work.

“I am not only representing the Municipal Bureau, but also the Provincial Department leadership, to give Comrade Shen Zhenzhu a definite answer: the safety of you and your family must be the top priority in this case. We must strive to eradicate the criminal organization and make them all pay the price they deserve.”

"Thank you for your concern, leaders of the provincial and municipal departments. I believe and am confident that we can eliminate them as soon as possible."

Director Tu patted Chen Zhenzhu heavily on the shoulder and said approvingly, "You're truly one of my men. A policeman who gets intimidated by criminals isn't a policeman! Do your best this time. After you solve the case, the Municipal Bureau will definitely compensate you well and make you absolutely satisfied." As he spoke, Director Tu gave Gu Yanzheng a meaningful look.

Shen Zhenzhu was still dazed and said, "Then I'll thank the Municipal Bureau and Bureau Chief Tu in advance."

Standing behind Shen Zhenzhu, Gu Yanzheng had a feeling that Director Liu might have been in cahoots with Director Tu.

He went to Director Liu's office an hour earlier and clearly stated that he agreed to join the "anti-gang crime task force." How come it was reported to Director Tu so quickly?

If Director Tu knows, then the provincial leaders should know too.

Director Liu just asked him if he had made up his mind. As for Gu Yanzheng, there was no other choice.

Thinking about what happened when he met Director Liu, Gu Yanzheng gritted his teeth again.

Before leaving, Director Liu asked, "Does she know about that?"

After signing the papers, Gu Yanzheng stood at the door, intending to leave, but paused for two seconds and said, "She doesn't know anything about it." Whether it was a business transfer or a personal matter, she knew nothing about it.

Director Liu, having been young once himself, understood Gu Yanzheng's inner struggle and sighed, saying, "This is both good and bad."

Gu Yanzheng smiled and said, "Forget it, let's not let her know for now." It would be bad if she felt burdened and Section Chief Shen could just focus on solving cases without any worries. It would be pointless to impose his thoughts and choices on her.

Gu Yanzheng added, "We'll talk about it when I get back."

Director Liu said, "What if she's found a boyfriend by then?"

Gu Yanzheng stopped again: "Who?"

Seeing that he was trying to appear relaxed, Director Liu also said in a relaxed manner, "I was just saying, 'What if?'"

Gu Yanzheng narrowed his eyes: "Oh, I can accept that."

Seeing that Gu Yanzheng was about to leave again, Director Liu said, "What about the organization's introduction?"

Gu Yanzheng gripped the door frame with his large hand and turned around: "Who are you introducing?!"

Director Liu said with a smile, "Let me give you an example."

Gu Yanzheng said through gritted teeth, "Oh, whatever, just don't let me know."

Before Director Liu could speak again, Gu Yanzheng defiantly pointed at him and said, "Stop talking. I'll get to work."

After teasing the emotionally distressed young man, Director Liu felt completely relieved. Watching Gu Yanzheng stride away, undoubtedly cursing him behind his back, he shook his head. "Easy for you to say," he thought, "but he's just being arrogant."

Shen Zhenzhu, who arrived later, was unaware that Gu Yanzheng had been teased because of his feelings for her. After speaking with Director Tu, she disappeared into the crowd to start figuring out what to do next.

“It’s definitely Liu Guangxia’s head. Her left earlobe is split open, and you can recognize her at a glance.” Wu Zhongguo pointed to a photo of Liu Guangxia before her death and said, “It’s a pity that she looks completely different after being ‘modified,’ but I can’t quite put my finger on what’s changed. Sigh.”

Shen Zhenzhu knew that Liu Guangxia's head had been found, and decided to go to the forensic room to take a look, hoping to find more clues.

At this moment, Zhang Jie brought in the defensive equipment. She cut her long hair back into the same short haircut she had three years ago when she was still in the Major Crimes Unit, which looked very neat.

"Pearl, the bulletproof vest is here. Wear it anytime." Zhang Jie said with a smile when she saw that Chen Zhenzhu hadn't reacted yet. "The men can't provide 24-hour close protection, so they called me over to help out."

Shen Zhenzhu was almost bursting with excitement: "That's great! I've wanted to solve cases with you for a long time."

Zhang Jie handed the bulletproof vest to Chen Zhenzhu and told her, "You'll come with me later to get the bullets and change the magazines. There will also be someone to protect you. Do you know who it is?"

Shen Zhenzhu knew that the bureau had already sent people to protect Shen Liuhe and Shen Yuyuan, and that many people close to her had also arranged for people to protect them to some extent in order to prevent them from being threatened.

Even so, you still have manpower to protect yourself?

"Section Chief Shen, Team Leader Tian, ​​Xiao Min, and I from Team Two are here to provide you with close protection." Kang He entered the office fully armed. No introduction was needed; they were all old comrades-in-arms.

Tian Yongfeng came in and said, "Hey, this kid got to speak first. Well then, let me say something too. Section Chief Shen, you have a few old acquaintances waiting behind you. Guess who they are?"

Shen Zhenzhu asked, "Is it related to the case?"

Tian Yongfeng said, "Of course."

Shen Zhenzhu smiled and said, "Is it Captain Park and his team? Are their cases going to be merged as well?"

Park Heung-sung is worried about this matter. The city of Shen asked him for the formula for the embalming solution for the female corpse. The news that came this morning is consistent with that of "Eye Wall" and "Liu Guangxia". It seems that the three cases will be merged.

Park Heung-sung was indeed behind him, and politely said, "But it's not me. Do you recognize this person?"

Seeing that they were all keeping her in suspense, Shen Zhenzhu quickly walked to the door and was about to peek outside when Xiaobai hugged her tightly: "Sister Zhenzhu~ Sister Zhenzhu~!"

Shen Zhenzhu held her hand, and after the two hugged, they held hands and jumped up and down excitedly: "Xiaobai, why didn't you tell me you were coming? I missed you so much!"

As she spoke, Chen Zhenzhu rubbed her chubby cheeks.

I haven't seen Xiaobai for over a month. Her chubby face is still there, but unfortunately, the little intern already shows signs of the wear and tear of a seasoned professional.

She turned around and pointed to Liu Yiyang and Song Xinchen in the corridor, saying, "Sister Pearl, Captain Liu and Comrade Song are here too."

Shen Zhenzhu turned her head and shouted into the office, "A guest from afar has arrived!" Her voice was just as loud as it was in Sixth Sister's restaurant.

Liu Yiyang stepped forward and shook hands with her. Despite his resentment, he was genuinely impressed to see Shen Zhenzhu still alive and kicking: "Section Chief Shen, we've come to assist in solving the case. Please take good care of us these next few days."

Song Xinchen was so numb to Xiao Bai calling him "Comrade Song" in such an unfamiliar way that he couldn't tell if it was sarcastic or not. He stepped forward and shook hands with Chen Zhenzhu: "Hello."

"good."

Song Xinchen: "...Section Chief Shen is really sparing with his words."

"Yes." Chen Zhenzhu won again with a single word.

Song Xinchen: "..." I really don't want to deal with Liancheng and his group.

Shen Zhenzhu greeted them, and Gu Yanzheng also came out to invite everyone into the office and arrange for them to sit down.

"This case is extremely serious, and the Provincial Department is paying close attention to it. Director Tu just came to visit Section Chief Shen personally. He has high hopes for our ability to solve the case and also demanded that we solve it within a week, striving to wipe out this criminal organization. Oh, and he even named the operation 'Operation Sharp Sword'..."

Gu Yanzheng, the case handler, introduced the details of the case to his colleagues who came to assist him, and said solemnly, "A transport driver wanted to redeem himself by doing good deeds. He revealed that the criminal organization had already put up an auction for 'Oriental Michael' online and had agreed to deliver the goods to the highest bidder a week later."

Everyone listened quietly, but when they heard that the delivery would be made in a week, almost everyone was furious.

Doesn't this mean that Section Chief Shen only has seven days left to live?

Despite being at the center of the storm, Shen Zhenzhu calmly held meetings with them to analyze the situation, as if she were an outsider.

She repeated the analysis she had given Wu Zhongguo over the phone. Xiao Min, who had just taken on the case, exclaimed, "These perverts are inhuman! They don't even treat people like human beings! Making handicrafts? Why don't they chop themselves up and make them into handicrafts!"

After the meeting, Gu Yanzheng divided the group into teams to assign tasks. Shen Zhenzhu's task was to protect her, while as the deputy leader of the "Operation Sharp Sword" task force, she would make other execution arrangements.

"I'll go check the forensic lab," Shen Zhenzhu said, standing up after hearing almost everything.

Xiao Bai quickly called out, "Sister Pearl, wait for me! Do you have your teacup with you?"

Shen Zhenzhu stopped and smiled, "No need for now, let's take our notebooks."

Xiao Bai ran behind Chen Zhenzhu's desk, skillfully pulled out a notebook and tucked it under her elbow, then grabbed a ballpoint pen and ran back. Zhang Jie found it amusing: "Slow down, your Pearl Sister isn't going anywhere."

Xiao Bai said to Zhang Jie with a bitter expression, "Sister, you have no idea how hard my life has been."

Zhang Jie smiled and said, "Yes, I just got back too. It's good that we could come."

The three of them walked out side by side, and Wu Zhongguo whispered to Lu Ye, "These three beauties are not to be underestimated. If they team up, they can tear you apart."

"Why would you tear me apart for no reason?" Lu Ye chimed in, "Don't talk about them behind their backs, or I'll break all your old teeth."

Xiao Min watched the commotion with amusement, while Wu Zhongguo glanced at him and said, "If you keep laughing, I'll slap your big teeth."

Xiao Min quickly pursed her lips: "..." What kind of weird atmosphere is this team's way of handling cases?

......

When Shen Zhenzhu arrived, Qin An was dissecting a corpse in another case. Another forensic doctor who had been transferred this year opened the door and led them in to see "Liu Guangxia".

Xiao Bai held the photocopied materials, looking at them and asking the new forensic doctor questions. Zhang Jie, who didn't talk much when handling cases, also listened from the side.

As Chen Zhenzhu approached the glass jar, she saw the grayish-white head and the neat, crisp cut.

"Could there be a special tool for beheading?" Chen Zhenzhu asked.

The new forensic doctor adjusted his glasses and said meticulously, "I suspect it's a guillotine-like object, similar to the kind you find in butcher shops at the market. But its shape and hardness are much greater. Section Chief Qin speculates it's a specially made guillotine designed specifically for cutting human bodies into pieces."

Shen Zhenzhu pointed to the notch in her earlobe and said, "Have you confirmed it with the robber?"

Xiao Bai immediately replied, "It has already been confirmed."

Shen Zhenzhu gave her a pleased look, and Xiaobai immediately puffed out her chest. Solving cases alongside Sister Zhenzhu is so smooth!

Wanting to learn more about the case, Zhang Jie and Xiao Bai had many questions. The new forensic doctor, Rong Chengcheng, answered their questions clearly and logically, and then took the question-ridden Xiao Bai to see "Angela," who was actually Yulia.

Zhang Jie said to Shen Zhenzhu, "I don't know where Qin An found this treasure, his professional skills are quite solid."

“I think it’s pretty good too.” Shen Zhenzhu stared at “Liu Guangxia”, their eyes meeting.

Seeing her like this, Zhang Jie didn't disturb her and went next door with Xiaobai and Rong Chengcheng.

Almost simultaneously, the Heavenly Eye Recall slowly unfolded before Shen Zhenzhu's eyes—

"Help me, I'm bleeding so much... Help me... Someone help me!" Liu Guangxia slumped beside the trash can, no longer feeling the pain in her ears. She clutched her stomach as she watched the robber escape.

It was late at night, and only rats scurried about in the alley; there was no other sound.

Liu Guangxia stuffed her abdomen with her clothes, feeling as if all her blood was about to drain out. She grew colder and colder, and her consciousness became increasingly blurred. Eventually, she couldn't even cry out for help.

She didn't have the strength to open her eyes, even as someone rode a tricycle in front of her and shouted, "Dead man! Dead man!"

But the word "help" seemed stuck in her throat; she couldn't open her mouth at all.

I should be saved, right? Someone saw me.

Liu Guangxia was thinking this, her mind in a hazy, confused state.

When she woke up again, her weak breaths were filled with icy cold air.

Liu Guangxia thought she was locked in a refrigerator, but this "refrigerator" was mobile, with many bloody pieces of beef hanging in the carriage, which must have just come from the slaughterhouse.

"I told you to hurry up, and you actually woke up. You're lucky to be alive after losing so much blood." A middle-aged man with a scar on his face complained, "If you don't do it, there are plenty of people willing to make quick money."

"I'll cut it now," the young man said, swallowing hard as he held the dagger in his hand.

Liu Guangxia didn't pay attention to their conversation; all she knew was that she was saved, truly saved!

Having returned from the brink of death, Liu Guangxia could not hide the overwhelming emotion in her eyes. Her lips were dry, as if glued shut. Tears welled in her eyes, and she said with difficulty, "Thank you... thank you—ah—"

Urged on by the scarred young man, he pressed down on Liu Guangxia's knee and made a cut in her leg artery, from which the little blood left slowly flowed out.

"You...you're going to kill me?" Liu Guangxia struggled with all her might in the carriage, "Let me go...help, help—"

Scarface's eyes gleamed with bloodlust. He picked up his cell phone, number "001," and dialed: "Hey, tell the butcher I'm really lucky today. I found a 'fresh catch.' Take it back now and tell the butcher to get it ready. It's hot, don't let it spoil while I'm waiting."

Liu Guangxia swayed in a pool of blood on the carriage floor, her desperate cries for help eventually turning into silent weeping.

She felt as if all the blood in her body was draining away, and her life was coming to an end.

Butcher? Is today destined to be my death day?...

Upon arriving at the boiler factory, the young man rolled Liu Guangxia up in a plastic sheet and carried her to the warehouse.

Scarface called out from behind, "Useless trash, be careful not to get jolted to death."

In the middle of the empty warehouse stood a short, stout man wearing a black leather hood, intently sharpening a cleaver.

On the table in front of him sat a gleaming silver guillotine, its sharp blade gleaming coldly.

"Is it dead or not?" the butcher said in a bad tone. "I don't dismantle the dead."

He threw down the sharpening stick, reached under Liu Guangxia's nose and felt around. Because the leather hood only left his eyes exposed, his voice was muffled: "Not bad, he would have died if he had come a few minutes later. The abdominal wound is really ugly. None of the cuts were fatal, but luckily his intestines didn't spill out."

Scarface lit a cigarette, grinned menacingly, and said, "That's why I got a great deal. A petty thief stabbed me a few times, stole the earrings, and ran away. Who knew what was really valuable?"

The butcher's assistant dragged over a red plastic basin. The butcher needed to clean up the internal organs before the auction started, so that professionals could proceed with the next steps for Liu Guangxia.

Scarface said, "That bastard needs to have a leg left to show him."

"Understood." The butcher tested his machete and said disdainfully, "A piece of trash who can't even walk properly, no matter how many legs he has, is still a piece of trash."

Scarface was pleased with the Butcher's attitude. Knowing that the mixed-race man didn't want to work anymore, Scarface tried to win him over, saying, "Two smuggled goods came from Morish's side without being discovered on the way. What do you think about handling them when they arrive?"

The butcher's hands didn't stop, smoothly slicing open the abdomen and asking, "What time?"

Scarface told his assistant to leave first, then walked over to the butcher and said, "Two o'clock at 2 a.m. on the 7th, container 8-113 at Jinshi Port. Are you going to pick up the goods?"

"I'm not going."

"If you don't go, there's nothing to do."

The butcher stopped what he was doing: "Then let my men handle it."

“That will work, it’ll be foolproof.” Scarface said mysteriously, “Only Morish, you and I know about this, no one else knows.”

Sensing Scarface's overtures, the butcher rummaged through his entrails and tossed them haphazardly into the red plastic basin, asking, "'Fresh goods'?"

Scarface said, "This time it's different. 'Angela' was detained, and Morish was very angry and refused to give us anything good. Once we deliver safely this time, I believe he will definitely be willing to give us 'fresh goods' next time."

"Get away from me," the butcher suddenly said.

Scarface paused, stunned. "What?"

“The bones will break off.” The butcher dragged the emptied corpse to the guillotine and asked Scarface, “Does he want the left or the right side?”

Scarface said, "The right side."

The butcher wedged Liu Guangxia's right leg into the guillotine, and with a "click," the blade fell...

......

......

Shen Zhenzhu squatted in the corner and forced herself not to vomit.

This telescope's retrospective journey caused her great discomfort.

She remembered the scar and the assistant's appearance, as well as the phrase, "2 a.m. on the 7th, container 8-113 at Jinshi Port."

Today is the 6th, which means the container hasn't arrived yet. We can just wait and see!

Shen Zhenzhu suddenly perked up and lingered in front of the glass jar.

How can I share this news with everyone?

She paced back and forth, displaying both skill and daring, and decided to take the risk.

He took a blank sheet of paper from the notebook, wrote down the transaction location and time in a crooked hand with his left hand, then folded it up and stuffed it into the bottom of the glass jar.

"Sister Pearl, Brother Rong asked if you want to take another look over there? If you don't, he'll lock the door." Xiao Bai quickly became friends with Rong Chengcheng and walked to the door to see Chen Zhenzhu still standing in front of the glass jar.

"Sister Pearl?" Xiao Bai walked over and patted Chen Zhenzhu on the shoulder.

"Huh?!" Shen Zhenzhu seemed to be startled and bumped into Xiaobai.

Xiao Bai's shoulder swayed, bumping into the glass jar. The jar and its base wobbled, making Xiao Bai's heart nearly jump out of his chest: "Oh, that scared me to death! I can't destroy the evidence! I'm sorry, did I interrupt your train of thought?"

Shen Zhenzhu was prepared. She supported the glass jar with one hand and comforted Xiaobai, saying, "I didn't mean to bother you. I was just staring blankly. Are you alright?"

"I'm fine." Xiaobai clutched her chest and leaned forward to look at the head floating in the formaldehyde, checking if it was damaged.

Suddenly she noticed a white corner peeking out from the bottom: "Sister Pearl! Look what this is!"

"Wow? What did you find?" Chen Zhenzhu asked, her hands behind her back. "Take it out and let me see?"

"Okay." Little White had no idea that her Pearl Sister was so cunning. She struggled to pull out a piece of white paper by pinching a corner with her fingertips: "2 AM on the 7th, container 8-113 at Jinshi Port... Ah! Is this the information they want to do a transaction? Tomorrow is the 7th!"

"Xiao Bai, you're truly my lucky star! You've done a great job this time. Jinshi Port is a port on the outskirts of Liancheng; they have transactions there!" Chen Zhenzhu nodded vigorously: "Quick, let's take it over while everyone's here and let them all see it!"

"Okay, I'll go right away. Sister Pearl, could you call Sister Zhang for me?" Xiaobai ran out with tears in her eyes. She knew Sister Pearl was lucky for her!

Shen Zhenzhu looked at Xiaobai, whose legs were old and worthless, and nodded. The little girl was really useful.

"What's wrong?" Zhang Jie asked as she heard footsteps. "Are you going to watch over there?"

"We can't watch anymore, Xiaobai has made a breakthrough discovery." Shen Zhenzhu hurriedly grabbed her arm, turned to Rong Chengcheng and said, "We'll go first, thank you for today."

"Okay." Rong Chengcheng adjusted his glasses and returned to the glass jar, looking it over from left to right. He dealt with it every day, how come he hadn't seen any clues?

Back in the fourth team's office, the news was met with applause and cheers! Everyone surrounded Xiaobai and showered him with praise.

Park Heung-sung even said, "I didn't expect you to find a clue as soon as you arrived. You've really outdone us. You're a real gem. There are hidden talents in Chen City."

"It wasn't just my doing; I saw it with Sister Pearl." Her fair face flushed pink, and she seemed a little embarrassed.

She glanced at Liu Yiyang and saw a smile on his face, which relieved Xiaobai. They might argue, but he was still her boss.

Meanwhile, Song Xinchen was clearly angry that he hadn't noticed it before.

"Whose fault is it if your eyesight is bad?" Xiao Bai thought to himself, secretly pleased with himself.

"You're the one who discovered it, so don't try to deny it." Chen Zhenzhu pulled Xiaobai to sit down next to her and said, "Let's listen to Brother Zheng's instructions and quickly arrange the manpower."

Wu Zhongguo said from the side, "I'm going to make some coffee, who wants some?" He already knew that tonight would be another sleepless night.

"I'll brew some for Sister Pearl; I remember the flavor." Xiao Bai suddenly stood up, picked up the large tea mug containing the heavy pearl, and left, as nimbly as a seasoned nanny.

Now it was Chen Zhenzhu's turn to be moved to tears. It was so comforting to go through hard times and then enjoy good times.

Chen Junsheng was not among those who experienced "hard times," and he had no place to chime in the cacophony of discussions.

He had originally wanted to stand next to Shen Zhenzhu and listen, but then a little white thing fell from the sky and he was squeezed out of space. Every time he tried to get close to Shen Zhenzhu, the little white thing would roll its eyes at him. He didn't know how he had offended her.

“This operation will be carried out by four groups of people following the route we just discussed.” Gu Yanzheng drew a route map on the blackboard: “The southwest and northeast entrances connect to the 107 National Highway. Captain Pu, you take your men and make sure to block the road. We absolutely cannot let the criminals escape.”

“No problem.” Park Heung-sung finished inspecting the pistol, put it on the table, and looked up, saying, “Not even a fly can get out.”

Gu Yanzheng then assigned some tasks, which were well-organized, comprehensive, and allowed for multiple preparations in a short period of time. Shen Zhenzhu carefully studied his plan and approach.

"Finally, according to the container storage area, everyone should remember their location and be careful not to be discovered."

"Yes, I understand!"

"knew."

"yes!"

......

As a target of criminals, Shen Zhenzhu cannot directly participate in the ambush and is easily recognized.

She sat in the van, just across the road from Jinshi Port. In the early hours of the morning, the cargo port was bustling with trucks coming and going.

Gu Yanzheng and others could be heard talking over the walkie-talkie from time to time. Chen Zhenzhu leaned her head on Zhang Jie's shoulder and whispered, "You rarely participate in an operation, and I'm asking you to protect me."

"Protecting you is my own choice." Zhang Jie hugged Chen Zhenzhu, her eyes closely watching the movements outside the car window.

"I volunteered too." Xiao Bai was in the passenger seat, disguised as a small business owner waiting to distribute goods. She had a fanny pack slung across her chest, a receipt in her hand, and her eyes were fixed straight ahead.

Lu Ye and Xiao Min hid in the last row. Both of them were quite large, and their arms would ache and their legs would go numb. They were also wearing bulletproof vests and protective shields, leaving almost no gaps between them.

While smoking outside the car, Tian Yongfeng deliberately threw his cigarette butt onto the side of the road and stomped on it, cursing at the young proprietress in a vulgar way: "If that batch of sunglasses doesn't arrive this time, I'm never coming back! Go back and tell your uncle I'm not working for him anymore. Who do you think you are, ptooey!"

"Okay," Xiaobai replied, amazed.

She whispered to Shen Zhenzhu, "Sister Zhenzhu, Liancheng is full of talented people. They can be so ruthless when they're not in a relationship."

Zhang Jie chuckled to herself.

To pass the time, Xiaobai and Luye took turns telling Zhang Jie and the others about the case they were handling at Qilin Mountain. They mentioned that Shen Zhenzhu had become the Fairy of Divination and even built a temple for her. Laughter was suppressed in the van.

"It's already 2:30, is the news accurate or not?" Xiao Min couldn't squeeze past Lu Ye, so she huddled against the window, hugging her legs. "Could they be deliberately teasing us?"

"Xiaomin, this operation has involved a lot of manpower, so let's be a little more patient," Zhang Jie said.

Shen Zhenzhu nodded: "Criminals are not so easy to figure out. Let's wait a little longer."

Xiao Min sighed, "I know, I'm just impatient."

“I understand.” Chen Zhenzhu unscrewed a bottle of mineral water, and the three of them shared it.

"A cargo ship is entering the port." Chen Zhenzhu stopped what she was doing and tilted her ear to listen to the sound of its horn coming from the silent night sky.

Ten minutes later, Gu Yanzheng's voice came over the radio: "Everyone, take cover!"

Shen Zhenzhu and Zhang Jie exchanged a glance, realizing that Gu Yanzheng had probably discovered something.

Just as they had predicted, a gunshot pierced the darkness. Gu Yanzheng's calm command came through the walkie-talkie: "Suspicious container spotted! Everyone proceed immediately according to plan! All units, pay attention..."

Shen Zhenzhu's heart was in her throat; she was usually at the forefront at times like this.

Gunshots rang out one after another, mingling with the sounds of sirens and shouts.

On the road, several police cars drove towards them. Shen Zhenzhu saw Park Heung-sung blocking the exit with his car, and then several more police cars stopped nearby.

A semi-trailer truck was sandwiched between two vehicles and forced to stop at the exit. Almost instantly, people rushed up from all sides, smashed the windows, and subdued the driver on the spot.

"It's blocked!" Shen Zhenzhu said excitedly.

Xiao Bai held onto Chen Zhenzhu's wrist, afraid that she might jump in excitement.

"Five armed suspects apprehended; two bodies found inside a shipping container..."

The criminals never expected that the secret known only to three people would be discovered by the domestic public security authorities, who had laid a trap in advance. Although they put up a fight when they were arrested, they were no match for Gu Yanzheng's ambush and were quickly captured.

Zhao Qiqi arrived at the van and said excitedly, "Report to Sister Pearl, all five of them have been caught!"

Lu Ye was incredibly envious and asked, "Boss, can you follow the trail to find out who the recipient is? There must be a recipient for goods shipped from overseas."

Chen Zhenzhu also wanted to know the answer.

Zhao Qiqi turned around and greeted the person who called him, got into the van, and locked the door: "It seems to be that Juzhongcai Transportation Company again. I checked the address and it doesn't exist at all. I can only go back and see if I can get these people to talk, otherwise I can only wait for the South Russian police who are delivering the goods to see if they have any breakthroughs."

"It's this company again." After asking for the address of the container receiving company, Chen Zhenzhu picked up the map and examined it carefully. After a while, she said, "It is indeed an empty address. This is a park."

The van drove towards the city's criminal investigation team at dawn. Shen Zhenzhu thought this time there would be great progress, and they arrested a few minor officials in a big way.

She leaned back in her chair, silently gazing at the morning light outside the window, truly hoping that the corpses that had been transported were the dead bodies Scarface had mentioned, and not fresh goods.

“Fresh goods…” Chen Zhenzhu muttered to herself, then said, “Fresh goods? I seem to remember someone saying that word to my face.”

“What do you mean by ‘fresh’?” Zhang Jie asked. “Are people fresh or things fresh?”

Chen Zhenzhu shook her head.

Zhang Jie noticed that she was grasping a clue to inspiration, and tacitly made a "shh" gesture, so as not to disturb her or let others disturb Chen Zhenzhu's train of thought.

Shen Zhenzhu frantically recalled the memories in her mind.

Criminal investigation team? Impossible.

The neighbors? Impossible.

Sixth Sister's diners? No.

Sixth Sister? No, that's not right either.

In Shen Zhenzhu's memory, people would say "fresh" when talking about ingredients, instead of "fresh goods".

This is clearly a proprietary term that the criminal organization deliberately created for "fresh corpses," and it's not used in everyday language. But it doesn't sound too out of place when said aloud.

Shen Zhenzhu leaned back in her seat, pinched the bridge of her nose, and suddenly jumped up: "Quickly notify Brother Zheng to investigate, investigate Feng Dahuan's company! Hurry!"

Xiao Bai, who was dozing off nearby, was startled by Chen Zhenzhu: "What's wrong, Sister Zhenzhu?"

Shen Zhenzhu took out a map and pointed to the route from Jinshi Port to Juzhongcai Transportation Company. There was a "Jutai Beef and Mutton Supply and Wholesale Sales Co., Ltd." on the way, which was Feng Dahuan's company.

Moreover, Shen Zhenzhu remembered that when Feng Dahuan first delivered beef to her sixth sister, he blurted out the words "fresh goods," and Qian Changda, who was standing to the side at the time, glared at him.

This suggests that Qian Changda may also be in cahoots with him.

Because of this inexplicable glance, Chen Zhenzhu remembered this key word!

Feng Dahuan's trade in imported beef and mutton provided him with channels for the flow of goods and money overseas. Along the inevitable routes, as long as the goods passed through "Jutai," there was naturally an opportunity to unload them discreetly.

Even more terrifying, Shen Zhenzhu recalled that in the Heavenly Eye's retrospective, the butcher who cut up Liu Guangxia's corpse had the exact same build as Feng Dahuan!

Feng Dahuan, you're not getting away!
