Chapter 251 Preparations are about to begin...

Deng Xingwang and the others waited anxiously outside, fearing that she might have an accident inside. However, they didn't expect that after just over twenty minutes, they saw her walking out with a frown on her face.

As soon as she emerged, Deng Xingwang and the others quickly surrounded her, looking her up and down. After confirming she wasn't injured, they began to ask, "He didn't explain? That's not surprising. We'll just have to think of another way. After all, once we compare the hair with the missing persons, he won't be able to deny it."

It just might take a long time.

After all, there are so many missing women in the country every year, with more than ten thousand registered, not to mention some who have never reported to the police.

Comparing them like this was undoubtedly like looking for a needle in a haystack, but at this moment he had no better way to comfort himself.

until……

"He admitted it."

Qiu Jiang's words completely stunned them.

"Admitted? What's going on?"

They were completely confused.

Qiu Jiang took a deep breath and said, "Let's go first. I'll tell you when I get back."

After they returned to the police station, they were all shocked and even became a little suspicious when they learned what Xiao Xiangrong had confessed.

The reason was simple: Xiao Xiangrong not only admitted that he was involved in some missing women cases and bombings, but also provided the offshore information of the ship carrying those young girls.

Just two days later, the women detained in the cargo ship's hold were transported to a sea area through the Peng City Port, and then merged with a luxury cruise ship departing from the Xiangjiang Port. Some of the women from both sides were transported to the cruise ship and sold in two countries.

For a moment, they didn't know whether to be angry or to doubt the man's motives and the authenticity of the news.

"He admitted it so easily, there must be something fishy going on. I think we should arrest him and give him a good trial. Maybe he'll confess."

"That trick won't work. Don't forget that those kidnapped girls are still in their hands. If they find out that Xiao Xiangrong has been arrested, wouldn't that alert the enemy?"

"Yeah, if they knew the news might leak out, they would probably cancel the plan, and then we wouldn't be able to catch up."

"But can you be sure that what he's saying now is true? What if he's playing tricks on us just to cover up their true route?"

In the conference room, the elites from Peng City and Hong Kong who were part of the joint investigation team gathered together, and no one could convince anyone else at this point.

After all, if something goes wrong, the cost would be too high, and no one present could bear the responsibility.

Even the two top leaders on both sides, Feng Wencheng and Zhou Mingzhe, could not bear the responsibility for their misjudgment.

In the end, everyone looked at Qiu Jiang.

"Jiang Jiang, what do you think?"

"Yes, Qiu Sir, do you believe what he said?"

Qiu Jiang smiled bitterly. "It's not up to me to decide whether to believe it or not. The final decision lies with the leader. Besides..."

She paused, instantly catching everyone's attention, wondering if she had any news yet to tell them.

But she never said it.

Until Feng Wencheng and Zhou Mingzhe walked in together with happy faces.

It seems that the higher-ups have definitely agreed to strengthen offshore inspections of ships in coastal cities.

Unfortunately, it seems that this step is too late now.

If what Xiao Xiangrong said was true, those women would be transported out in two days, which would prove that they had been secretly transported to Peng City. At this time, strengthening the defenses in other cities would have lost its meaning.

What needs to be done more is probably to strengthen inspections on both sides of Xiangjiang and Peng City.

Of course, the premise of all this is that what Xiao Xiangrong said is true.

But no one can guarantee it now.

All of a sudden, other cities cannot stop at all and still need to strengthen their deployment and inspection. At the same time, they are also busy and are even under pressure.

It’s because of Xiao Xiangrong that they all have to be on their guard from now on.

He's such a jerk.

Everyone was almost scolding Xiao Xiangrong to death, so much so that even after knowing the good news announced by the two big leaders, they couldn't muster any joy.

Feng Wencheng and Zhou Mingzhe knew something was wrong at first sight, and after understanding it, they also started to feel something was wrong.

The whole person became quite annoyed.

"What? Such a thing actually happened?"

Feng Wencheng was so angry that sparks were about to burst out. Although Zhou Mingzhe was also angry, it had not reached that point yet and he was still able to analyze the situation calmly.

"The explosion did happen next to that calligraphy and painting exhibition four years ago. What Xiao Xiangrong said might be true."

"Whether it's true or not is of no use. The most important thing right now is that the boy is too arrogant. He just told us like that? Is he sure it's true? Or is he just playing us?"

The more he thought about it, the more restless he became. He paced back and forth, looking extremely irritable.

Not to mention...

"I suspect... there are probably bombs on these two ships."

Qiu Jiang dropped another bomb when she spoke again.

"Bomb?" Feng Wencheng widened his eyes.

Qiu Jiang nodded, frowning, and said, "Director, whether it's Anxi, Peng City, or Xiangjiang, they've all used bombs before, which proves they definitely have the capability. Transporting so many abducted victims, aren't they afraid of something happening?"

This incident obviously refers to being discovered by their police.

If they really find out, what is the safest and most permanent solution for the other party?

Isn't blowing up the ship and making all the evidence disappear in an instant the fastest and safest way?

Besides, it’s not like they haven’t done similar things before.

Just like the recent bloody example of Anxi is still right in front of them.

This is definitely not a trivial matter.

Feng Wencheng and his companion returned urgently to report to their immediate superiors.

At the same time, Ji Mingcheng's investigation results also came out.

"Bai Lu's brother was once a soldier, extremely skilled in munitions, but he passed away five years ago while on a mission. It's possible that he left behind some manuscripts that were learned by Bai Lu's team."

This makes sense, as the methods they possess for making bombs and explosives are very similar to those used by the military.

"Also, his apprentice, Bian Weicheng, has a flamboyant personality and often offends people. However, his paintings are highly recognized in the market, and many people respect him, even because he's their teacher. He also has a tendency towards violence. Several ex-girlfriends have accused him of being too brutal in private, leaving them covered in injuries. It's not ruled out that he might have tortured and killed the missing women."

After all, he tortured the women who were protected by law and had not been trafficked in such a way. One can imagine the torture and harm suffered by those women who could no longer be protected at the legal level.

Especially since he actually has the habit of painting with blood...

"I bought several of his paintings and found one with blood on it. Based on the traces of the blood, I can infer that it wasn't painted very long ago, only about two months ago."

This means that he is very likely to have engaged in abusive behavior in the past two months.

Qiu Jiang looked down at the photos of scars on abused women that he had brought from Hong Kong, and silently clenched the photos.

After a long silence, she thought of the bet between her and Xiao Xiangrong.

He told her about their gang's next move and asked her to prepare as much as possible to see if they could eventually rescue all the women.

If she is rescued, he will testify as a tainted witness to expose the gang behind him, but if she fails, he will not do anything to her. He just wants her to go with him for two years. When the time comes, she can leave at any time and he will never stop her.

In case she didn't believe what he said, he also "thoughtfully" gave her a place to verify the authenticity of the news.

"Nine people are hiding in the bar at 326 Tuntian Lane. They will be transferred to a cargo ship within the next two days. You can follow them to find the cargo ship. I believe you will see what you want to see then."

"Oh, and by the way, Mr. Ji from Xiangjiang is not allowed to come on the cargo ship. You two must stay apart and absolutely cannot be together. It would be a shame if you broke the agreement."

Ji Mingcheng keenly noticed that she was in a bad mood and immediately asked, "What else happened?"

Just as Qiu Jiang was about to speak, Deng Xingwang came running in from outside.

"Jiang Jiang, Captain Ji, there's definitely something fishy about that bar. Our people found some metal fragments resembling bomb casings in the trash can behind the bar's bathroom. We also found a clear glass bottle with some white powder on the wall. We've confirmed it's ammonium nitrate. They're probably using it to make drugs."

Before Qiu Jiang could think, he continued, "Our director has learned about this and has requested close monitoring for the next two days. I heard that the director has already started working with other city leaders and departments on a plan, so we'll be able to decisively fight them in two days."

"By the way, the director also told me to tell you to quickly integrate the people from our team and return to the city bureau. We're probably going to be busy all day and night for the next two days."

Although he knew that this operation would be very dangerous, he was still extremely excited when he heard the news. He even felt that if he could defeat the gang, it would be worth dying even if he sacrificed himself.

Of course, it would be best to catch them alive.

His face was full of excitement and courage.

Qiu Jiang finally breathed a sigh of relief and immediately said to him, "Xingwang, gather our people immediately."

"yes--"

He quickly turned around and ran away.

When I turned around and saw Ji Mingcheng again, he was on the phone and only said, "Yes, sir."

She looked at him anxiously, "Any news?"

"Mr. Zhou asked us to rush back as quickly as possible. I guess we have to start the operation."

Qiu Jiang fully understood that he had his own responsibilities, and besides, she had no way to act with him this time.

This may be the best arrangement.

In the end, even if there are thousands of words to say and no matter how reluctant you are, it will just turn into a hug.

She rested her head on his chest, "Ah Cheng, be careful."

Ji Mingcheng touched her head and said, "If you have any problems, don't dwell on them. You can discuss it with me. If you can't contact me or it's difficult to talk to me, just ask Xingwang and the others. It's better than carrying it all by yourself."

She nodded repeatedly.

Then I saw him taking all his colleagues from Hong Kong into the car and speeding towards the Hong Kong port.

This is the closest place to the Hong Kong port, and they estimate that they can get back in about an hour.

It was about the same time for them to return to the Municipal Bureau.

This time, they will fight separately and at the same time.

For the same criminals.

They will definitely arrest all of them.

Qiu Jiang's eyes suddenly became firm.

As Deng Xingwang gathered everyone together, everyone was ready to go. Ten cars lined up in a row and started driving towards the Municipal Bureau.
