Chapter 91 Paw Patrol Makes a Great Contribution 2: Catching Turtle in a Jar, Sweeping Them All in One Net...

In the capital city these days, the area around the Third Ring Road is still undeveloped. Many old residential areas are being prepared for demolition, and some places have already been demolished and are laying foundations in preparation for building new apartments.

Even those areas that haven't been demolished yet are all eagerly waiting for the windfall of demolition compensation to fall into their laps.

So, the people living here have basically started to give up – demolition is inevitable, haven't you seen which neighborhood next door has already been demolished?

If that's the case, then why bother working hard? Just wait until the day the land is demolished, and happily count your money.

This has led some residents in the area to be eager to enjoy the good life ahead of time.

Some families have even tidied up their living rooms and set up mahjong tables, turning them into temporary mini-gambling havens.

The most convenient thing is that there is an air-raid shelter behind the community, which was dug in the 1960s and 70s. If someone reports them for gambling, they can pack up immediately and hide in the air-raid shelter.

Now, because of Fang Zhenhong's death, Liu Gengnong has been implicated in the Liu family's underground casino, and Liu Taifu has also been arrested. With no other choice, they had to temporarily move the machines they brought from Macau to the air-raid shelter here.

So, the group of gamblers abandoned the mahjong table in the neighborhood and rushed to the air-raid shelter.

Xiaohua and Xiaobai circled around the neighborhood and quickly located the air-raid shelter. The two dogs discussed it and decided that Xiaohua would go back to inform their owner, while Xiaobai would stay at the entrance of the shelter to keep track of any situation.

Xiao Hua immediately turned her head and asked for help.

When they arrived at the alley across from the residential area, Fang Jiadong was still rolling his eyes at his owner. Xiao Hua was unhappy and barked at him twice.

Fang Jiadong, unconvinced, asked, "Xiao Qiu, do you have a problem with me, you dog?"

Qiu Xiaoman glanced at him calmly: "You're overthinking it. My dog ​​is busy and doesn't have time to have opinions about you."

Little Flower didn't understand why her master lied. In any case, whatever her master did was right, and all she had to do was cooperate and obey unconditionally!

He quickly grabbed his master's trouser leg and said, "Woof woof, over here, over here! Little White is guarding here, Master! Hurry, catch them all!"

Qiu Xiaoman immediately called on everyone to prepare for action. Ye Chenglin calmly unslung the backpack across his body, took out a sniper rifle, checked the bullets, and said, "Wait a minute before you move. I'll go take a look and find a high vantage point."

Qiu Xiaoman was dumbfounded. A sniper rifle? Brother Ye is indeed a big shot, and Captain Zou has thought things through thoroughly.

That's right, the threats inside the air-raid shelter are unknown, so having a sniper outside makes things safer.

After much deliberation, Qiu Xiaoman decided to call more people, since the two dogs hadn't ventured deep into the air-raid shelter and didn't know how many people were inside.

She didn't plan to let the dog in, as it might alert the enemy. Besides, she wasn't sure if there was an exit at the other end of the air-raid shelter; it would be better to check with Captain Zou.

She quickly made a phone call, and Captain Zou replied, "Wait for my message. I'll have someone block the exit first."

This inevitably alerted relevant personnel in the urban construction department. It was unknown which air-raid shelters had been filled in and which could still be connected to each other.

Meanwhile, Qiu Xiaoman's group was guarding the alley, which made them easy targets and could alert the enemy. Therefore, this matter had to be resolved quickly.

After much deliberation, Qiu Xiaoman had no choice but to trouble Shen Qinghuai again. She made a phone call: "Do you know anyone in the urban construction department? Or could you arrange for two unemployed people to come over and pretend to inquire about the demolition, to distract me?"

Shen Qinghuai roughly understood that his daughter needed to conceal her true strength to avoid wasting her time.

He replied, "No problem, just tell me the location and I'll arrange it right away."

Qiu Xiaoman gave the name of a neighborhood and reminded her, "Make it look real, don't let them find out."

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing." Shen Qinghuai was quite happy. Although his daughter had turned against him, she was still willing to ask him for help when she encountered problems.

What does this mean? It means that he, as her father, still has some value in her heart. As long as he has value, that's good. He has a chance to try his best to make a good impression and salvage some points.

Soon, a van pulled up at the entrance of the residential area, and a group of people in suits got out, looking like business people.

As they walked, they muttered about things like demolition, real estate development, holdout households, and the suspension of new household registrations.

This quickly attracted the attention of the residents in the community, successfully buying Qiu Xiaoman valuable time.

When Captain Zou called back, the residents of the community were still racking their brains, trying to get the specific amount of demolition compensation out of these "developers".

Qiu Xiaoman waved and led everyone through another alley to join Zou's men in closing the door and beating the "dog".

When Liu Yuandou received the call from his second son, he was so angry that he couldn't catch his breath and fainted.

The family's nanny was startled and immediately called 120 to send him to the hospital for emergency treatment.

Almost simultaneously, the gamblers in the air-raid shelter, along with the casino's manager, were all apprehended.

For this matter, Captain Zou even borrowed all the personnel from the nearby local police station, which barely managed to quell the situation.

The final headcount revealed over 300 gamblers on site, and 29 people in charge of the Liu family casino, including five direct relatives, eleven relatives by marriage or clan, and the rest were their trusted confidants.

The large convoy of police cars alarmed television reporters and nearby residents, who abandoned the developers and ran to the main street outside the alley to watch. By the time they came to their senses, the "developers" had already disappeared.

At 10 p.m., Qiu Xiaoman was still working overtime in the criminal investigation building.

The case was so sensational, and the investigation process was so unconventional, that she had to deal with a lot of paperwork.

Fortunately, her hand injury has healed, otherwise it would be really difficult to write with the bandage on. As for her dogs, the base has already sent them back, while Xiaohua and Xiaobai are waiting for her downstairs. They will go back to the courtyard house with her later.

As for when Xiaohua and Xiaobai will go to the base, Qiu Xiaoman hasn't decided yet. After all, Mango is still pregnant, and a few dogs that can move around need to stay at the courtyard to take care of the children, so she wants to wait a little longer.

Team Leader Zou temporarily applied for an office for her, but the procedures were a bit complicated and it hadn't been approved yet, so she had to stay in Team Leader Zou's office to work overtime.

I was busy when someone knocked on the door.

Qiu Xiaoman didn't even look up, and said, "Please come in."

Wu Shirong gripped the doorknob and asked curiously, "Comrade Qiu, you haven't left yet? Have you eaten?"

"I ate some bread." Qiu Xiaoman didn't expect Wu Shirong to come over. She put down the documents in her hand and asked curiously, "Are you looking for Captain Zou? He went to report to Director Wen. Come back later."

"Oh." Wu Shirong didn't explain. He wasn't there to see Team Leader Zou; he just wanted to check if she had gone back.

She helped his family's Mimi, and he hasn't repaid her yet.

After thinking it over, he closed the door and went out. He returned half an hour later with a bag of roasted chestnuts and a bag of roast duck wrapped in oil paper, which smelled delicious.

He knocked on the door, but there was no answer. He had no choice but to push the door open and see that Comrade Xiao Qiu was already asleep on the table.

She must be waiting for Captain Zou to come back; she needs to hand over all the written work to Captain Zou for review before she can leave.

Poor thing, she's only eighteen and still growing. How can she stay up so late all the time?

After thinking for a moment, he returned to his office, took off the blanket he was using, draped it over Qiu Xiaoman's shoulders, and then wrote a note, leaving it along with chestnuts and roast duck on the table in front of her.

After checking the radiators again, he picked up a few documents scattered on the ground as he turned around. They must have been knocked over by Comrade Xiao Qiu while he was asleep.

He glanced at the handwriting on the document, and it was as neat as ever. He couldn't help but admire the young comrade's skill. He was so capable, having written so many reports without a single careless or sloppy stroke. He was truly a responsible and diligent comrade.

He carefully placed the documents down and quietly left. As he closed the door, he glanced back and thought, "I should bring Mimi over sometime. She can understand cat and dog language, right? Let Mimi thank her in person; that should be more effective than him saying it."

He closed the door and went home after get off work.

Pushing his bicycle, he walked to the entrance of the Criminal Investigation Department building and immediately saw the car parked across the street. Jiang Mingyuan, inside the car, was looking up at Captain Zou's office through the rolled-down window.

The light was on there. Wu Shirong had intended to turn it off, but then he worried that when Comrade Xiao Qiu woke up, he would be completely in the dark and might bump into something, so he didn't do anything about it.

Seeing Jiang Mingyuan's melancholy expression, Wu Shirong didn't bother him. He simply got on his bicycle and went home.

Only after he had ridden far away did Jiang Mingyuan come to his senses. He sighed silently, stepped on the gas, and drove off.

If something is hopeless, it's best to stop it immediately.

He picked up the old mobile phone his father had given him, called Shen Tenglong, and asked, "Did you go pick up your sister?"

"She's on her way. She said she might have to work overtime until midnight tonight, so it's not too late for me to go now." Shen Tenglong was happy to hear that Xiaoman had done a great service, but he was also worried because Xiaoman had offended quite a few people.

The only way is to completely crush the Liu family; otherwise, if they have any hope of making a comeback, they will definitely retaliate.

He couldn't help but worry and asked, "Jiang Mingyuan, do you know what kind of evidence is needed to completely bring down the Liu family?"

"You should just give up. With your straightforward and inflexible personality, you'll definitely cause trouble for Xiao Qiu." Jiang Mingyuan refused and advised, "Just be good and pick her up and drop her off at get off work every day. Don't do anything else."

"Okay." Shen Tenglong didn't really have any great abilities, but after hanging up the phone, he still called Shen Qinghuai and asked, "Uncle, is there anything I can do for you and Xiaoman? I have a classmate who runs a detective agency."
