10063 New Urban Farmers Chapter 110 The Mad Thief (First Update)
"Lin Yuesui isn't in much danger," Li Yun said, hearing from Xiang Chunyan that the Public Security Bureau was on high alert, preparing for battle. They were on the front lines, arresting wanted criminals like they were facing a major enemy. Li Yun was worried about Lin.
Lin Yue's character, always on the front lines of battle, sets such an example. No one can dissuade her!
Zhang Guodong, however, was quite impressed and amazed to hear that this wanted criminal had committed numerous crimes and had been on the run for over ten years without being caught.
Nowadays, police have developed a plethora of methods for solving cases. No matter how long someone has been on the run, they can no longer escape the law. Some who have hidden in remote mountains for years have even been apprehended.
This guy is really something else, committing major crimes while on the run! Eleven years of robberies and thefts totaling over 400 million. It's only been exposed now; he's definitely a master. And this time, he even stole 120 million worth of rare jewelry and jade – you can't help but admire him.
Putting aside his evil deeds, this man is absolutely a criminal genius.
The devil may be one foot tall, but the righteous will be ten feet tall; ultimately, evil will not prevail over good. The capture of this notorious thief was predictable. If even the combined power of the state couldn't subdue one person, that would be truly unbelievable.
"Don't worry, the police aren't pushovers. Besides, she's the captain. Does she want to charge into battle or just be a lowly soldier? The lower-ranking officers lead the charge while the leaders provide support!" Zhang Guodong said nonchalantly.
However, the fact that the other side has four people and is carrying grenades and pistols is a bit troublesome.
But what does this have to do with him?
His primary concern was the precious jewels and jade stones. He wanted to craft a medicinal furnace or cauldron, which required collecting enough jade essence!
Thinking of this, Guo Dong recalled that he had seemingly taken two jade and stone treasures from Li Hongbo on a whim. One was a milky-white jade ring, and the other was a pendant/amulet with a lifelike Buddha image on it. Sensing that these two jade artifacts were extraordinary that very night, he took them.
Looking at it now, it's indeed true. The ring itself is of excellent quality, resembling mutton fat jade, and its polishing and craftsmanship are extremely fine, suggesting it was made by a master craftsman. The pendant amulet, on the other hand, is a square jade piece with a warm, lustrous feel, seemingly made of nephrite or warm jade. It's said that wearing "warm jade" is good for the body. It's also a good item for warding off evil and misfortune, and some, after being blessed by Buddhist teachings, have seen their value increase even further.
This pendant amulet is no ordinary item!
If you were to sell both of them, the value would be at least 800,000!
"Master Enjue is very powerful. I saw her almost cripple an eight-pound thug all by herself! She's amazing!" Li Yun said, as if encouraging herself.
Abbess Miejue is amazing! Lin Yue is amazing too!
That criminal definitely can't beat her!
Xiang Chunyan noticed Zhang Guodong taking out two items and pondering, and said, "Guodong, are those jade ornaments? They're very beautiful!"
"Huh? Oh, a friend gave it to me. But it was a man who brought it." Zhang Guodong snapped out of his daze, his eyes lighting up as he looked at the two women. He immediately smiled and said, "I'll buy you even better ones later!"
"Sister Xiang held a jewelry and jade exhibition at the Grand Fortune Hotel? What's going on?"
Xiang Chunyan stroked her hair and smiled, saying, "Actually, it was a private exhibition, but because of such a big incident, it turned into a public exhibition. Most of these merchants traded with each other after the exhibition. But this time, they were unlucky and were robbed by a wanted criminal. More than twenty pieces of jewelry and jade were worth 120 million!"
Twenty-odd precious items may not seem like many. If packed up, they could easily fit one person. But their value is considerable! There are clearly some good items among them.
“No wonder they chose to conduct private transactions in a hotel. Heh, these businessmen are unlucky. If they catch that guy, it’s good; if they don’t, they’ll have to suffer the consequences themselves!” Zhang Guodong nodded and said.
He was only asking out of curiosity about these things. However, it was a bit of a pity about the 120 million worth of jewelry! He had nearly 10 million worth of jewelry, jade, and diamonds in Peach Blossom Spring, but most of them were unsellable. Naturally, he couldn't give them to the two women to avoid causing trouble!
Zhang Guodong spent the night at Xiang Chunyan's place. This was the first time Deputy District Chief Xiang's residence had ever accommodated a man other than her ex-husband!
The atmosphere outside was extremely tense, with danger lurking everywhere.
Around 11 PM, police officers noticed clues about the girl. In the surveillance footage of a hotel, four suspicious individuals were spotted. These four individuals had registered separately and their appearances differed significantly from those during the robbery. The officers then monitored the hotel and contacted the owner. Further investigation revealed that the four men were indeed Lin Baolong and his accomplices in disguise!
But what's even more unfortunate is that the registration was from the day before yesterday. There were no actual check-ins!
The person only stayed for half a day before checking out, and then the trail went cold.
In the early hours of the morning, the somewhat tired police officers received an exciting piece of news: the local police station had caught a drunk man who was carrying a gun and even a grenade!
The drunkard turned out to be one of the four robbers!
This is fantastic news!
Following the trail, another district police station arrested a second suspect. The interrogation of the two men yielded disappointing results. It turned out they were both locals who had only contacted Lin Baolong four days prior and had no prior acquaintance with each other!
Only one piece of information is truly useful!
The two suspects knew the meeting place with Lin Baolong and were to meet before dawn to divide the loot. However, the jewelry and jade were being held by their accomplice, and without all four keys, the doors couldn't be opened.
However, the meeting and division of the spoils took place at a bar in a high-income area!
Jiang Lihan, who hadn't slept, was still inside the bureau. He immediately issued an order: "Deploy a certain force immediately. Until Lin Baolong appears, regardless of whether he lives or dies! But before he appears, no firing is permitted."
This team was personally led by Jiang Lihan. A deputy director was stationed within the bureau, while the executive deputy director was responsible for liaising with the armed police and special police. Other leaders were ready to provide support at any time. No one needed to sleep.
In the dim light of night, only taxis on the night shift are working, carrying people who have missed their turn.
Inside a quiet house in the suburbs, Lin Baolong and a robber in their late twenties were watching a TV drama. Empty cans and scraps were scattered everywhere on the sofa and floor.
He stuck the gleaming military knife into the can of beef, which was only half-eaten and then scattered on the sand.
"Brother Dong, why don't we leave under cover of darkness?" This robber was someone Lin Baolong had met after arriving here. He never expected that this time they would commit such a big crime!
At first, he felt extremely nervous, but Lin Baolong, who was using the alias Dongzi, was very calm. Setting up obstacles with grenades, breaking into the car, robbing and leaving in just five minutes, he had more than 100 million yuan in his hands! He was not so afraid but excited.
However, Dong Ge's calmness frightened him. Several times he wanted to suggest dividing the spoils on the spot, but he became timid when he looked into Dong Ge's eyes.
Besides, it takes four keys to open the safe, so he's not afraid that Lin Baolong will keep it all for himself!
"We'll meet your two brothers at the bar and then leave!" Lin Baolong said casually.
The robber immediately said, "Those two must have gone out to find girls, always getting completely drunk. We shouldn't have given them the key! Even though they don't know where we are now, what if something goes wrong?"
"It's alright!" Lin Baolong said.
Lin Baolong raised an eyebrow as he said this. He seemed to be feeling unwell, but then fatigue showed on his face. He hadn't slept for a day; even someone of iron couldn't go without sleep for an extended period.
"I'll take a nap first, you keep watch for a while, then you can sleep! And whatever you do, don't come near me!" Lin Baolong lay down on the sofa and fell asleep, leaving the robber sitting cross-legged on the floor watching TV.
He actually fell asleep? Really asleep?
Suddenly, a thought popped into the robber's mind: if he could plunge the military knife in front of the sand into the chest of the man on the sand, the more than 100 million yuan worth of jewelry and jade in the safe would be his!
His two companions lacked ambition. They finished a quick buck online and went off to live a carefree life; they were bound to get into trouble sooner or later!
Why doesn't Brother Dong interfere with their indulgence?
It's all show and no substance, isn't it? But the robbers dared not act rashly. Lin Baolong was very wary; what if they were testing him?
wait!
People fall asleep easily when they are relaxed. He also watched Lin Baolong's video and was actually very tired!
At five in the morning, the robbers were also sleepy, but Lin Baolong showed no signs of waking up. On the contrary, his breathing became longer and longer, indicating that he was sleeping more soundly!
No! If we wait any longer, it will be dawn!
People who hoard things will become increasingly extreme and radical, even resorting to robbery. Don't get close to me? Hmph. After I kill you, all these treasures will be mine. Anyway, I haven't shown my face.
He had no idea. Their images had already revealed their identities! And their two accomplices had already been arrested by the police!
Taking a risk!
The robber, his heart pounding, slowly approached Lin Baolin, but Lin Baolong was fast asleep, not even blinking.
He reached out and waved his hand across Lin Baolong's face to test him, but even at such close range, Lin Baolong was fast asleep and didn't react at all! He wasn't very alert!
At that moment, the robber's courage swelled, and he could finish the job with his military knife in a very short time!
The general pulled the knife from the can of beef and swiftly plunged it into Lin Baolong's chest and face. His face was contorted with madness!
"Whoosh!" Just when the robber thought he was about to succeed, Lin Baolong closed his eyes, shrank back, and then quickly leaped up diagonally, actually avoiding the fatal blow and leaving the sand.
He's awake!
With a hiss, the military knife pierced through the sand!
"How did you wake up? You weren't asleep?" The robber's expression changed drastically, and he panicked!
Lin Yanlong immediately understood the situation. A sharp glint flashed across his face as he said, "I'm asleep!"
"But how could you dodge? A sleeping person wouldn't dodge that quickly. You've been on guard against me all night?!" The robber gradually became frantic again, gripping his military knife tightly!
"No, I'm asleep!" Lin Baolong said. Suddenly, he leaned in very close. The robber, seeing Lin Baolong's words and the sudden attack, instinctively retreated.
But how could he possibly defeat this notorious criminal with his hands covered in crimes and possessing exceptional martial arts skills?
Boom!
The robber felt as if a heavy hammer had struck his chest, and his sternum snapped with a crack! A salty liquid welled up in his throat!
“But I’m very sensitive to killing intent! That military knife has drunk the blood of dozens of people!” Lin Baolong gently took the military knife, and a cold light flashed as it passed over the robber’s throat, causing blood to gush out.
"You!" The robber collapsed to the ground with a thud. He struggled until he lay motionless, his eyes wide open in death! Blood flowed everywhere.
