Chapter 45 Helps Solve the Gang Case: The String Cat Reappears (Revised)...
Gu Yiliu and Wang Lutang both went to the police station.
Gu Yiliu was giving a statement when he could hear Wang Lutang's arrogant voice from the next office.
After giving her statement, Gu Yiliu stood at the door of the next office and heard Wang Lutang shouting loudly, demanding that the police officers remove his handcuffs.
The three police officers in the office were all doing their jobs and no one paid him any attention.
"Are you all tired of living!" Wang Lutang had never been treated like this before. He kicked the desk next to him, scattering the documents all over the floor.
Gu Yiliu subconsciously looked at the three police officers. One officer grabbed him, another squatted down to pick up the documents, and the last one slowly drank water, then glanced at her from a distance and smiled at her in a friendly manner.
The change happened in an instant. Because no one was there to help him and he was being held down, Wang Lutang used all his strength to ram his shoulder into the police officer holding him down. He then nimbly kicked the officer, even the police officer who was picking up documents.
"You fucking dare to assault a police officer!" The police officer, who had been leisurely drinking water, slammed his water glass on the table with a bang and jumped up, handcuffs now on his hands.
With lightning speed, they straightened his handcuffed hand and handcuffed him to the window with another handcuff.
The two police officers he kicked also locked his feet at the same time.
In just a short while, Wang Lutang was unable to move his hands and feet.
Gu Yiliu watched everything unfold from beginning to end. She blinked, feeling as if Wang Lutang had been tricked.
In the office, Wang Lutang, who had been throwing a tantrum, finally realized what was happening. He yelled angrily, "Ahhh! How dare you play me like this!"
"Wang Lutang, have you thought about the consequences of assaulting a police officer?"
Wang Lutang turned his head away. He didn't even bother to look at him.
"Three years, plus your previous crimes, you will be punished for all your crimes."
Looking at the three policemen in front of him, their faces filled with the determination to sentence him, Wang Lutang felt a pang of panic, but he forced himself to calm down.
"Although I have a bad temper, I haven't done anything bad."
"Yeah?"
"You and Pang Yishen and others have opened 5 mahjong parlors and 3 restaurants on Shuikou Street in the past two years. The 5 mahjong parlors have been in arrears with rent for more than a year, and the 3 restaurants have been in arrears with rent for 6 months. Am I right?"
"And these victims demanded rent from you, and you hired thugs to beat them up. Several people had their arms and legs broken by you, am I right?"
"Furthermore, at the end of last year, our men caught you collecting protection money. You left in front of us, but after we left, you came back. Am I right? This is the Shuikou Street Police Station, you know that? It's not your place to make decisions!"
Wang Lutang looked at the male police officer in front of him, who was talking eloquently about his "deeds." He had the kind of face he hated the most. The man was handsome and spoke with a lot of righteousness and justice. "You have no evidence. You can't slander us."
"And," he asked casually, "what's your name?"
Male police officer: "We arrested you because the evidence was sufficient."
When Wang Lutang heard the word "evidence," his face stiffened for a moment. Just as he was thinking about how to extract information, a young man in uniform ran in from outside. "Captain Tang, we succeeded."
Wang Lutang subconsciously looked at the male police officer, "Your surname is Tang? What did you manage to steal?"
Team Leader Tang smiled but ignored him. Gu Yiliu, seeing this, sighed; it turned out she really had taken down a certain criminal organization.
Team Leader Tang instructed the others: "Ignore him when he speaks, and keep a close eye on him."
"Okay!" The other two people in the office turned serious. As soon as Captain Tang left the office, the two of them immediately became vigilant.
Tang Shishen walked up to Gu Yiliu and thanked her, "Thank you so much for today."
Who knew that when the informant went to notify them, Wang Lutang would resort to violence? Fortunately, Gu Yiliu appeared.
Gu Yiliu raised an eyebrow. "Did I just happen to inadvertently help you guys?"
Tang Shishen smiled and nodded, "I'll recommend you for credit later."
Gu Yiliu's smile became much brighter.
They had already planned to capture Wang Lutang, and this time they received advance information that Wang Lutang was in Yaohai City, so they notified their informant to take him out for drinks. Wang Lutang had a fiery temper and a terrible drinking habit, but he was very cunning, and his fighting skills were evenly matched with theirs, sometimes even giving him the upper hand. Once he was drunk, they would have a chance to capture him.
“You’ve heard some of what’s going on, so you should have some ideas now. Wang Lutang’s gang is very well hidden. They’ve been committing crimes in the Shuikou Street area. Although we know they’ve done many things, we don’t have direct evidence, so we can’t do anything about them.”
Putting everything together, what else could Gu Yiliu possibly do but cause trouble? "Have they obtained direct evidence this time?"
Tang Shishen nodded and asked her, "When do you plan to rejoin the team? We've been waiting for you for several days."
Gu Yiliu smiled and said, "Director Bai said this isn't a transfer, it's an assignment."
“It’s no use talking to me about this. Let the leaders argue about it,” Tang Shishen said with a smile. “Actually, I think you’re better off here with us. I’m going to get busy now. You can go back first.”
Watching him disappear into the night, the autumn wind howled, like a call before action. Listening to the wind, my heart began to beat with inexplicable excitement.
Gu Yiliu withdrew his gaze, called Han Yi who was waiting nearby, and they also returned under the cover of night.
The next day, when Gu Yiliu went to Shuikou Street Police Station again, there were many more people there. Gu Yiliu also saw Xu Guancun, who had come to provide support.
Moreover, they have already brought back some people involved in organized crime.
Gu Yiliu was assigned to guard the suspect, and by the afternoon, everyone who had gone out had returned.
But she could tell that everyone looked rather unhappy.
“Two people escaped,” Tang Shishen said. “One of them was Qiu Yishen, who was even more petty and vindictive than Wang Lutang.”
"Everyone, please be careful lately."
Gu Yiliu asked him, "What did the two people who escaped look like?"
Tang Shishen handed her photos of the two who had escaped.
"Can I take it? I can get some stray cats and dogs to help you find the person."
Tang Shishen paused for a moment, then said, "Okay, you can take it."
When he doesn't need help, he can often see that mixed-breed cat, but now that he needs help, Gu Yiliu can't find it no matter how hard he looks.
"DianDian, can you help me find out where it is now?"
Dian Dian: "It didn't run too far, it just stayed near you. Go back to the hotel first, and don't rush upstairs. You'll definitely be able to catch it there."
Gu Yiliu chose to trust the system.
She sat in the lobby on the first floor of the hotel. The female officer on duty, who had been idly daydreaming, immediately smiled when she saw her. "Officer Gu, how can I help you?"
"I'll sit here for a while; I'm waiting for a cat."
Fan Lulu: "Of course you can. Sit down if you want. Officer Gu doesn't need to ask me specifically."
Gu Yiliu nodded. She remembered Fan Lulu; Wang Lutang had almost forced himself on her. Ever since Gu Yiliu helped her out once, Fan Lulu was always excited whenever she saw her.
Fan Lulu took out her snacks, Modern Gu Yili.
"Thank you," Gu Yiliu said casually, chatting with her as they ate. "Have you heard of Qiu Yishen?"
Fan Lulu nodded, "He and Wang Lutang are sworn brothers. He has a lot of women."
Do you know her woman?
"Yes, I know him. Many people on Shuikou Street should know him. Although Qiu Yishen is not a good person, he is quite generous, and many women are willing to be with him."
"Are you from Shuikou Street?" Fan Lulu nodded.
Gu Yiliu didn't want her words to be meaningless; she wouldn't allow herself to do so. She gently probed, "Then which woman's house do you think he's at right now?"
"Zhang Xue? It might be her family. She's his most beautiful girlfriend. As her name suggests, she has snow-white skin and speaks softly. Women love her. She's especially smart. Among the women he hates deeply, she's the only one who got the most money and a house."
Moreover, she wasn't even from Shuikou Street, and lived the furthest away from it. As a resident of Shuikou Street, Fan Lulu knew that Qiu Yishen hadn't been caught, and of course she wanted the police to catch him. So she told them everything she knew.
"Should I take Officer Gu to find Zhang Xue?"
"Hmm?" Looking at the woman's eager expression, Gu Yiliu shook his head. "The places you know, others also know. They might have already run away."
Fan Lulu shook her head and said it might not be true. She told Gu Yiliu that Zhang Xue had a blind grandmother who raised a 5-year-old cousin. Zhang Xue was also raised by her grandmother, so maybe Zhang Xue was at her grandmother's house.
Gu Yiliu asked Zhang Xue where her maternal grandmother lived.
"First-class! The mutton cat is here; it's lingering at the restaurant entrance."
Gu Yiliu apologized to Fan Lulu and then went to find Chuan Chuan Cat.
In just two days, his once glossy fur has become matted, and even his face looks thinner.
It raised its tail warily when it saw Gu Yiliu, but did not run away.
"Did you need something from me?"
The cat did not answer.
"I need to talk to you about something. Do me a favor. If there's anything you need my help with, I'll help you too."
The cat looked at her hesitantly.
Gu Yiliu asked the system for some meat, then tossed it to it, saying, "Now you can trust me, right?"
"Meow!"
The cat nodded, and its tail drooped down.
Gu Yiliu held up the photo and asked it to memorize the two people in it. "Can you keep an eye on their every move and tell me immediately if they make any noise?" Gu Yiliu took out half a chicken leg and thoughtfully tore it into thin strips for it.
The cat meowed and ate with relish.
It nodded as it ate.
Halfway through its meal, it looked up at Gu Yiliu and said, "Officer Gu, could you please help me...?"
"Go ahead," Gu Yiliu said, raising his hand to click the confirmation button on the system panel.
"My cat friend has been captured by humans. They've locked it up in a house with chains. Can you help me rescue it?"
"Why is it locked up? Where is it now?"
Sadness welled in the mixed-breed cat's eyes as it meowed repeatedly. "Humans made it have kittens with many other cats. It's incredibly powerful, never lost a fight, and can command all the mountain cats. It took good care of me when I was in the mountains. So, Officer Gu, I want you to help it return to the mountains. I'll keep a close eye on this person, and I'll get the other cats to help you keep an eye on them too!" It had been wandering for several days, but it had defeated many cats!
"Okay!" Gu Yiliu asked it to take her to its cat companion.
A person and a cat arrived in the suburbs, a desolate and uninhabited place.
A cat's mournful cry came from a tiled house.
Gu Yiliu: "Dian Dian, is anyone home?"
"Yes, there are three people eating and drinking."
With Dian Dian's prompting, Gu Yiliu cautiously approached and indeed found three people eating and drinking.
"When will the next batch of cats be available? I have several clients who want them."
“Give them another month, and if they want them, they can have them. What’s the rush? Our cats are beautiful and well-cared for, so you can raise the price accordingly,” a young man with small eyes said with a smile.
"Fine, people in big cities are rich. They can't even get enough to eat, yet they still buy cats to keep as pets."
"If they don't buy, how will we make money?" The small-eyed man laughed heartily. "If it weren't for the fact that many animals aren't allowed to be kept or traded, I really would want to expand the scale and make as much money as possible!"
Gu Yiliu followed the sound of the cats' meows and found two cats "fighting". The one that was locked up clearly showed resistance, but its movements were swift and decisive.
"You were drugged?"
Dian Dian hummed in agreement.
Recalling the small-eyed man's words, Gu Yiliu's eyes darkened. There was no legal basis to support her in convicting them. "No, I have to scare them, otherwise they will do this again in the future."
Gu Yiliu glanced at the locked cat, then with a flick of her hand, the lock fell to the ground. She then unlocked the door, allowing the cat to leave at any time. Once it left the house, there would be other mixed-breed cats waiting for it outside.
After doing all this, Gu Yiliu returned to the house where the three of them had eaten and overheard them discussing something else.
It was that small-eyed man again. "Hey guys in the black market, you know? I have a friend who said someone's offering high prices for valuable timber to collect. We have a lot of good timber here. I've thought about it carefully, and this valuable timber is actually easy for us to get. We just need to blend in with the villagers. If a tree goes missing occasionally, no one will notice."
