Chapter 206: The feeling of fighting side by side in both places...
Two years ago, Ji Mingcheng, who was still a sergeant, participated in the investigation of a bank robbery.
But that time, Qiu Jiang didn't handle it as perfectly as this time.
Because when they received the news, those people had already completed the robbery and were on the run, and he happened to come face to face with the robbers during the pursuit.
There were six robbers at the time. Two of them were shot dead by him, and the other was shot by Liang Jiahao who was on patrol.
The remaining three people disappeared without a trace. Even though the manhunt for them was never relaxed later, they seemed to have evaporated from the face of the earth. If it weren't for the fact that the case had not been solved and he hadn't flipped through it from time to time and looked at the sketch of the robber that he had drawn based on his memory, he wouldn't have recognized him so quickly when they met just now.
At that time, they thought that this was a robbery that the six of them had been planning for a long time. Now, seeing his interaction with the water ghost just now, and thinking about the water ghost's involvement in several recent kidnapping and extortion cases of wealthy people, he couldn't help but wonder if he was also involved in the bank robbery two years ago.
Regardless of whether it is true or not, people on both sides are definitely their targets.
Therefore, after Liang Jiahao led his men to follow the other side, Ji Mingcheng led his men to continue to follow this side.
It has to be said that Shuigui is a very cautious person. In the next two or three days, they followed and observed. If it weren't for the confessions sent from Peng City, Qiu Jiang would have interrogated those people in detail at his request.
Although not everyone knew this water ghost, the leaders of the two villages behaved very unnaturally. Qiu Jiang knew something was wrong at first glance. Under the hawk-like interrogation, they admitted that the water ghost was the local boss who kidnapped the wealthy Hong Kong man.
Usually, a man named Ah Sheng under the Water Ghost would contact them, tell them who to kidnap, determine the plan, plan the route and provide them with various weapons.
Although water ghosts usually do not show up, they are the leaders of the thugs after all, and the two sides have had two brief meetings.
Because they had just kidnapped the wealthy woman not long ago, they quickly returned to Peng City to avoid the limelight under his arrangement. Who knew that because of the conflict between the two villages, the police set up a trap and arrested both sides.
They originally thought that they were unlucky enough, but now seeing their persistent interrogation, they estimated that the water ghosts on the Hong Kong side and Ah Sheng's people might not be able to be saved.
This time, could it be that he wants to catch them all in one fell swoop?
However, although Peng City and Xiangjiang are close to each other and have deep roots, the century-long separation has led to little cooperation between the two sides, let alone such a painstaking effort to interrogate the two of them in order to catch someone for the other side.
So why are the two sides suddenly cooperating so closely?
They were puzzled and couldn't figure out the reason for this change.
What they don't know is that such incidents will happen more frequently in the future, so that when they are released from prison, they will face a social environment where the police on both sides cooperate more closely, which makes them doubt their lives. Even when they want to do bad things again, they can't help but think about it first. With such close cooperation between the two sides and such powerful ability in solving cases, what punishment they will receive if they are caught again.
Because they gave it more thought, their recidivism rate after being released from prison was reduced.
This is a later story, let’s not talk about it for now.
Now that they have received the accurate testimony from her, Hong Kong has made capturing the water ghosts a top priority.
Not only were all five groups sent out, but he was also free to deploy personnel from other departments.
It can be said that as long as this big fish can be caught and successfully convicted, the higher-ups will support anything.
This naturally created a good working environment for him.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, he also unceremoniously asked people to participate in this operation.
There was indeed no gain in the first two days, but when an unexpected person arrived on the third day, the progress seemed to be quietly accelerated.
They acted quickly and arrested Ah Sheng, who had just returned from Siam after laundering money.
But no one expected that when they were trying to pry open Ah Sheng's mouth, bad news came from Liang Jiahao.
After receiving the news, Ji Mingcheng rushed to the hospital immediately.
In front of the operating room corridor, Liang Jiahao still had a wound on his head, and even though it was bandaged, blood was still seeping out from under the gauze.
He lowered his head slightly when he saw Ji Mingcheng.
"Sorry sir, the person ran away, Ajie... Ajie was shot."
When he said this, he lowered his head even more and wiped his face with his hands. His sobbing could be faintly heard.
"It's all my fault. If I hadn't insisted on taking him to find that guy, Ajie wouldn't have been shot to save me. If anything had happened to him, I would never be able to forgive myself for the rest of my life."
"Ajieji has his own destiny. Everything will be fine. You have to believe in him." Ji Mingcheng patted his shoulder to comfort him.
When Liang Jiahao heard this, his sobbing suddenly became louder and he started to howl.
Ji Mingcheng let him vent his emotions.
When he stopped crying and raised his head again, his eyes were already red enough to bleed. He wiped away his tears vigorously and immediately reported to him the information he had found out so far.
"Sir, the bastard leading the group is called A-Bang. The three of them came to Hong Kong two years ago and live in an abandoned house in the countryside. They're very generous. A-Bang has a strong anti-detection awareness and is a very good shot. After realizing we were tracking him, he was caught up by A-Jie and me while he was running away. He was particularly ruthless and his shooting is very good. I'm afraid that after alerting him this time, he will hide even more secretly. We must continue to catch him as soon as possible."
Ji Mingcheng certainly knew, "I've already sent people to look for him along the way. Tell me more information."
Liang Jiahao breathed a sigh of relief when he knew someone had gone, and immediately told him the whole story in detail.
It turned out that they lost the people on the mountain after following them that day. They knew that the people must still be in the mountain, so they started looking for them.
They searched until dawn but still hadn't found anyone. They happened to walk to an abandoned house and found cigarette butts and messy disposable lunch boxes and tableware outside the house. There were also a lot of leftover food scraps inside, which attracted a group of flies buzzing around.
He felt something was wrong and thought that someone might be hiding inside, but he didn't know the situation inside, so he wanted to understand the situation first and then wait for an opportunity to act.
In the end, they really discovered these three people.
There was nothing special about the other two people, but Abang was very smart and cautious. They lay in ambush for two days before they figured out the movements of the three people.
Usually when I have nothing to do, I go to the casino to gamble, and when I get tired, I buy some food and come back to rest.
The money was kept by Abang, and he was thinking that perhaps this money might be the money that had not been laundered yet. If he got the money and found that the serial numbers of the money were the same as those of the money that was robbed and extorted in the nearby six months, then it could be confirmed that they were involved in the recent kidnapping of a wealthy man in Hong Kong. He could then use this as a fulcrum to inquire about the relationship between the water ghost and the case two years ago, so that all the relevant people hiding in the dark could be caught in one fell swoop.
As a result, they did succeed in finding the money and hid with it. Who knew they would suddenly return to get the things.
"That Bang was very cautious. He immediately noticed something was moving, then he pulled out his gun and came after us. The two of us shot the other two, and Bang got scared and tried to leave. I didn't want to let him go, so I chased after him. Ajie was worried, so he followed too, and then..."
Liang Jiahao is now extremely regretful. If he had not let Ajie follow him, and had gone alone, or had not been so impulsive and called more brothers to act together, would this kind of thing have not happened?
But it’s too late to say anything now, Ajie is still being rescued.
"It's all my fault—"
Liang Jiahao clenched his fist and smashed it hard against the wall. Soon his hand started bleeding.
Others quickly grabbed him.
Ji Mingcheng frowned, "What you need now is to calm down. Ajie is still waiting for you to avenge him."
After hearing this, Liang Jiahao finally cheered up and said hurriedly, "Ji Sir, I will cooperate with you in whatever you want to do."
"In that case, take your men to keep an eye on all the ferries heading to Peng City."
Liang Jiahao was startled. "Do you suspect he will flee to Peng City?"
Ji Mingcheng replied in a deep voice, "Yes."
"He's now trapped in Hong Kong. Hong Kong is no longer safe for him. Even if he craves the extravagance of Hong Kong, he needs to live to enjoy it. He currently has only two options: one is to find someone in Hong Kong who can protect him and hide him, or the other is to go to the place where he feels safest."
"You've seen how Shui Gui treats him. He won't take in such a troublesome person. He'll just send him away as soon as possible. So, his final destination can only be Peng City."
"You take the men to guard the ferry, and I'll keep an eye on the water ghosts. If there's any news, we'll communicate promptly."
"Yes, I'll go now—"
Liang Jiahao seemed to have found his own value and took his people away without saying a word.
At the same time, the Peng City police also received a request for joint action from the Xiangjiang police.
This matter attracted the high attention of the leaders, and the police in the whole city naturally took action, ready to do their best to capture the criminal who might escape back to Peng City.
As the captain of the criminal police team of the Municipal Bureau, Qiu Jiang is naturally one of the main participants in this operation.
She led three teams to take turns guarding the sea area they were responsible for, and be ready to attack and capture the target at any time.
As the night deepened, the coordinated arrest operation between Hong Kong and Peng City was being deployed and carried out in an orderly manner.
At this time, the sea breeze blew, bringing with it gusts of coolness. Everyone who was hiding in various places and looking at the sea with night telescopes became alert and ready.
Deng Xingwang, one of them, spoke to Qiu Jiang excitedly.
"Jiang Jiang, I didn't expect that we could go on a mission with Captain Ji again. This feels so great! I really miss Captain Ji and the time when we solved cases together."
He was very happy.
Qiu Jiang also showed a hint of nostalgia.
Who says it isn’t?
It has been a long time since I felt like we were all fighting side by side together.
This time I had the opportunity to revisit it.
However, they represent two sides, and they cannot bring shame to their season team, nor can they bring shame to their Peng City.
That person had better show up obediently so that they can take him back to face legal trial. Otherwise, she will definitely catch him to the ends of the earth and throw him into prison to wait for the final moment.
Everything depends on whether we can catch the person this time.
Qiu Jiang stared at the sea with a sharp gaze.
He was determined not to let go of any suspicious points.
