Chapter 43 Robbers

Wen Yue, who originally only felt a chill on her back, froze in place after hearing the system reminder, and her muscles tensed up involuntarily.

The other party was very sensitive, and noticed the moment Wen Yue froze. His eyes changed a little, and he paused when he was about to walk away.

Chen Jianping was a soldier and was also very sensitive to danger. After noticing the other party's change, he took a step forward to block Wen Yue, looked straight at him, and put his hands on his waist.

The other party's eyes flashed when he saw it, and seemed to understand something.

Wen Yue's heart sank, and she quickly pressed down Chen Jianping's arm that was protecting her, and bowed to him and said, "I'm sorry, I was running a little fast just now, did I hurt you?"

She lowered her voice and said to Chen Jianping, "Daddy is worried about my safety, and insisted that you follow me, so I brought you out reluctantly, don't cause trouble for me!"

Hearing this, the middle-aged man glanced at Wen Yue calmly.

Although her skin was dark yellow and had sun spots, the skin behind her ears was smooth and white. Although her clothes were old-fashioned, it could be seen that she had a good temperament and should be from a wealthy family.

She must be a young lady from a family who came to experience life.

The middle-aged man thought, responded lightly, and walked past the two people.

Wen Yue didn't move her stiff fingers until the man walked away, and let out a long sigh.

Seeing Wen Yue's relaxation, Chen Jianping turned his head to look at the middle-aged man who walked away, and whispered: "Miss Wen, who is that person?"

Wen Yue didn't know who that person was, because she was afraid that she would lose control of her expression if she knew too much, so she let the system shut its mouth after it screamed.

At this time, she didn't rush to ask the system, but just whispered: "Go in first."

It was early July, and the Hong Kong sun was scorching. Standing outside without doing anything could make you sweat.

After entering the mall, the cool breeze from the air-conditioning vents blew past her face, and Wen Yue's whole body relaxed. The tension just now was completely swept away, and she finally had the mind to ask the system who that person was.

[His name is Huang Dayong, he is an unknown robber, but his boss Ye Tianhua is very famous and is one of the three thief kings in Hong Kong.]

Wen Yue had not watched many Hong Kong dramas before she traveled through time, but she had watched quite a few, and she vaguely knew what the thief king was.

The thief king in Hong Kong is actually a fierce bandit, and he basically has big cases on his shoulders, either robbing gold shops or kidnapping wealthy people. The leader who kidnapped and killed Wen Kai was also one of the three thief kings.

Wen Yue reacted instantly: [What is Huang Dayong doing here?] Looking around the gold shops, a thought popped up in her mind, [Could he be here to scout the area?]

[That's right, ten years ago he and Ye Tianhua did a scam in Tsim Sha Tsui, and the value of the robbed gold was over 10 million. But there were five people who committed the crime with them. If they divided it, each person would only get a few million.

A few million is not a small amount. Even now, a few million can buy a large house, not to mention that it was a few million ten years ago, when the monthly salary was only a few thousand.

But for gangsters like Ye Tianhua and Huang Dayong, it is too easy to make money. They can make a few million by robbing a bank. How can they be frugal?

They don’t have any investment philosophy. Of course, the police’s bounty for them is over a million. As long as their identities are exposed, they will be hunted down wherever they go. So it’s useless for them to have an investment philosophy. It’s better to live for today.

In short, no matter what the people who committed the big crime thought, ten years later they all ended up in the same situation, facing the fact that their money was running out and their lives were once again in a difficult situation.

As the eldest brother, Ye Tianhua decisively contacted his good brothers, and then found two young people to join, ready to do another big one.

This time, they set no upper limit when setting their goals, and the more gold they robbed, the better.

There was no upper limit on the ammunition they had, and they brought several guns alone, with bullets and gunpowder calculated by kilograms.

The system said: [They not only targeted Lirong Department Store, but also two gold shops outside. In the original book, the value of the gold they robbed in this batch exceeded 70 million.]

Two people died in the process, and the remaining five people could each get more than 10 million, which was enough for them to live out the rest of their lives.

So after dividing the money, the few people never showed up again.

What Wen Yue cared about was not the stolen gold. She thought that since two people in the robbery team died, there must have been a gunfight in the process.

This is conceivable. Those robbers are all devils and regard human life as worthless. They definitely did not bring so many guns and ammunition for display. There must be a gunfight with the police in the process. The police may also have casualties, and even many innocent passers-by will be affected.

The system's answer confirmed Wen Yue's guess: [In this case, one policeman died, one policeman was seriously injured, two innocent passers-by were killed, and the number of injured exceeded two digits. ]

[When is Ye Tianhua ready to act? ]

[Three days later. ]

There is still time, Wen Yue continued to ask: [Where are they hiding? ]

[I can only find the hiding place of three people including Huang Dayong. ] The system reported an address, which is a village in the New Territories, and it is a very remote place.

Wen Yue frowned: [Only three people? What about the other four? They are not together? ]

[Yes, Ye Tianhua is very cunning, and he has been betrayed before, so he is very suspicious. In the first two crimes, he showed up during the preliminary contact. After the people gathered, they held the first meeting and assigned tasks. After the end, there were several waves of action, and they were contacted through his single line. In the first two crimes, he joined in after others took action. ]

[Those people trust him so much? Aren’t they afraid that he will let them rush up and be cannon fodder? Since he is suspicious, how can he believe the information collected by his companions after scouting the place? ]

[The newcomer doesn’t know, but the other four people have cooperated with him several times and trust him very much. Moreover, their previous two crimes were very successful. With such experience, they will have no objection to cooperate again...】

Hearing this, Wen Yue said: [That is to say, there are seven of them in total, but they are at least divided into three groups? 】

[Yes. ]

Wen Yue originally wanted to use the system to find the hiding place of Ye Tianhua and others, and call the police directly before they take action, so that the police can catch them all in one fell swoop.

But now the system can only find the hiding place of three people, and the whereabouts of the other four are a mystery... This is very tricky.

Because even if the police successfully catch the three people including Huang Dayong, it will be difficult to find the other four.

If the other four people are afraid of being caught after receiving the news, it is not a big deal to give up this action. What if they have already put their heads on their belts and thought of doing it once and for all. What if we just take action in advance?

This group of people are all desperate criminals. The fact that they dare to bring guns and ammunition to rob a gold shop shows that they are not afraid of death. After their companions are exposed, they are likely to choose to take risks.

Wen Yue suddenly remembered: [By the way, you still haven't answered one of my questions just now.]

The system recalled and said: [Because they will all come to scout the area, and after each of them finishes, they will report the collected information to Ye Tianhua, and Ye Tianhua will organize it and make a detailed action plan.]

Wen Yue was instantly alert, and asked while looking up and looking around: [Are they in the mall?]

[Currently, the only person the host has seen is Huang Dayong, who is a robber.]

Upon hearing this, Wen Yue quickly took Chen Jianping around the first floor, and then asked the system: [What about now? 】

The system obviously didn't expect this operation, and after a pause it said: [There are no robbers. 】

Wen Yue was relieved.

But she was not completely relieved.

There is no danger now, but what about three days later?

Of course, the police must be called, and this is not something she can solve alone.

But how to call the police is a difficult problem.

Tell the police that Ye Tianhua is back and plans to rob the gold shop on the first floor of Lirong Department Store in three days, and then tell the police the hiding place of Huang Dayong and the other two?

What if, as she just thought, the police receive the news and immediately go to arrest Huang Dayong and the other two, and what if Ye Tianhua and the other four take action in advance after receiving the news?

Will the police be caught off guard?

Or should she only say the first half of the sentence, let the police deploy in advance, and catch the turtle in the jar?

But Causeway Bay is a commercial center. If the passers-by are dispersed, Ye Tianhua and others will know what is going on at a glance, and it is easy to alarm the enemy. If the passers-by are not dispersed, who knows whether the robbers will hold the passers-by hostage during the gunfight, causing innocent casualties?

If the latter situation really happens, can she say with a clear mind that the death of innocent passers-by has nothing to do with her?

She is actually quite average in her perception. She has always felt that there are tall people to hold up the sky when it falls, but she has never thought about becoming that tall person who holds up the sky.

Especially after experiencing the incident on Foguang Street, she no longer wants to bear the fate of others.

Let's leave it to the police to make the choice.

Wen Yue thought about it and asked the system to prepare to send a letter to the police.

Considering that Ye Tianhua and others are all vicious and evil, if they know that she is the one who informed, they will definitely be retaliated, so Wen Yue was very cautious when selecting evidence.

First of all, the photo of meeting Huang Dayong at the door of Lirong Department Store must not be selected, because it is easy to be targeted.

The recording of Huang Dayong and Ye Tianhua's contact cannot be used. Although it has not become the symbol of Dongjiang Newspaper, it is not difficult to associate it with Dongjiang Newspaper through the recording as long as you are determined.

The same is true for the photo of several people conspiring. It is easy to associate it with Dongjiang Newspaper and then target her.

So the only photo that can be used is the photo of Huang Dayong stalking inside and outside Lirong Department Store.

But it is enough. Huang Dayong committed a crime with Ye Tianhua ten years ago. The photo information is in the police database. It is impossible for the police not to pay attention to his appearance.

In addition to telling the police that Ye Tianhua and others were coming back to rob the gold shop in three days, as well as the hiding place of Huang Dayong and the other two, Wen Yue also asked the system to write down the pros and cons of the two response methods .

As for how to make the final choice, let the police worry about it themselves.

Oh, by the way, the font of the letter must also be changed, so that after the police expose the letter, the media will not associate this submission with the previous letter from "Mr. Tong".

The process of sending the letter is also omitted, and it is allowed to appear on the desk of Li Chengbang, the sergeant.

Li Chengbang is the sergeant in charge of the "Wan Chai Park Murder Case". Later, he was the leader of the Zhong family case. He is a person with a stronger sense of justice.

If this matter is handed over to him, it should not be perfunctorily ignored.

It just so happened that the area where Lai Wing Department Store was located was under the jurisdiction of Wan Chai Police Station where Li Chengbang worked, so it was only natural that the anonymous letter was delivered to his desk.

After finishing the letter-sending matter, Wen Yue continued to do her own thing.

The reason why she could still work as usual when she encountered a robber who killed people without blinking an eye was not because she was careless, but because she had done what she could do, and how things would develop next was no longer up to her to decide. Instead of

getting anxious and angry here, it is better to do the job at hand.

She really needs something else to distract her attention now.

After shopping in this mall in Causeway Bay, Wen Yue felt that the problems were similar to those in the one in Central, which showed that these problems were common problems.

After shopping at around 12 o'clock, Wen Yue's stomach was already growling with hunger.

Although the four bodyguards said nothing, they must be hungry. In order to avoid being scolded by the employees, Wen Yue took them to a tea restaurant with a nice environment and let them order whatever they wanted.

While eating, Wen Yue glanced at her mobile phone and found that Yi Huai had called her twice around twelve o'clock. She didn't hear it at the time and didn't answer it. After

dialing the phone, Yi Huai asked on the other end: "Are you still in Central? Let's have lunch together at noon?"

"I'm in Causeway Bay now, and I've already started eating." Wen Yue thought for a while and said, "I'll finish early in the afternoon, let's have dinner together." "

Okay."

After hanging up the phone, Wen Yue asked the system: [Has Li Chengbang seen the letter? ]

[Not yet, he is on a business trip today. ]

[Oh, let me know when he finishes reading the letter. 】

Although she thought in her heart that what happened later had nothing to do with her, how could she really not care.

Not to mention that the Lai Wing Department Store in Causeway Bay was in the area under her charge, she had just taken office and encountered such a thing. Should she bear joint liability?

Just thinking about how many people would be killed and injured after Ye Tianhua and others took action, Wen Yue could not stand idly by.

...

Li Chengbang didn't know that someone was waiting for him to return to the police station. At this time, he was still at the crime scene.

Yesterday afternoon, he received a report. The cause was that a foul smell appeared in a residential building in the jurisdiction. The residents on the same floor could not stand it and reported the case. When they went to the door, they found that the owner was dead.

The case was not complicated. The deceased and her husband had always had a bad relationship. Neighbors could often hear them quarreling. The husband had not shown up in the two days from the accident to the discovery of the deceased.

But the scene was really tragic. Not only was there blood all over the floor, but it was summer, and the forensic doctors who went to the scene to investigate were a little overwhelmed. They had to come out to relax after staying in the house for a few minutes.

Li Chengbang and several of his subordinates looked gloomy, and they didn't eat much for lunch. They were especially scared by the sight of meat.

After finally investigating the scene, they all breathed a sigh of relief when they finished work. Some people sighed and said that they would rather have more unsolved cases than take on such a case.

But as soon as the words fell, Uncle Zhuang said "Puh" several times: "Don't be so crow-mouthed. You think this case is not good now, but when there is a real unsolved case, your mind will change. It's better to spit a few more times!"

Everyone couldn't help laughing when he said this.

Back at the police station, everyone had returned to normal. Li Chengbang arranged the work, and after everyone went about their business, he picked up the teacup and prepared to pour himself some water.

But as soon as he looked down, he saw the envelope on the desk.

He was deeply impressed by this kind of envelope, and his first reaction when he saw it was to pick it up and look at the sender.

Hmm? Blank?

Puzzled, Li Chengbang held up the envelope and asked his colleague who stayed in the office who gave him the envelope, but the colleague shook his head and said, "I don't know. I left the office for lunch. Maybe it was put in at that time. Is there no sender?"

"No."

Li Chengbang said as he opened the envelope and took out several photos and a letter.

Seeing this combination, Li Chengbang remembered something, but he didn't say anything. He looked at the photo first.

The photo was of a middle-aged man who looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him. Soon he knew the answer from the letter, and his expression became more and more serious.

After a long time, he called Uncle Zhuang and asked him if he knew the photo.

Uncle Zhuang stared at the photo several times, and said, "Ah, this one is not..."

"Ye Tianhua's accomplice?"

"Yes, yes, that's him!" Uncle Zhuang is an old police officer, and he reacted quickly, "They appeared again?"

Li Chengbang said seriously, "They appeared, and they also targeted Lirong Department Store."

"Then we have to report it!"

"Well, I'll go to Madam's office."

...

As soon as Li Chengbang made a move, Wen Yue learned the news from the system.

The senior police officers attached great importance to this matter. After all, in the past ten years, every time Ye Tianhua and his friends appeared, they would create a big case. This time they came back again, and it was clear that they were not here for good.

But there were also those who expressed doubts about this. It was not that they thought Ye Tianhua and his gang could not do anything big, but that they thought the source of the news was strange. Looking at the content of the letter, if you didn't know, you would think that the sender was Ye Tianhua's accomplice. He even knew how much ammunition they had.

Li Chengbang had a vague guess about the source of the news, but when he thought that the other party's anonymous submission this time was obviously to distinguish it from the previous submissions.

Maybe he was afraid of exposing his identity.

So he didn't say much, just argued with reason.

He said that no matter what the source of the news was, judging from the photos, Huang Dayong had indeed been around Lirong Department Store recently, and it was very likely that he was scouting the place.

It is better to believe it than not to believe it. This matter needs to be taken seriously.

After hearing this, Superintendent Xu also felt that it needed to be taken seriously. The question was what they should do now, to arrest Huang Dayong and the other two directly, or to catch the turtle in the jar directly.

As the letter said, both methods have their pros and cons, and it is difficult to judge which choice is absolutely correct.

So the vote was split evenly.

Superintendent Xu looked at the result, pondered for a long time and asked Li Chengbang: "Do you think we should temporarily give up arresting Huang Dayong and the other two, contact Lirong Department Store and wait and see?"

"Yes," Li Chengbang nodded affirmatively, "To catch a thief, you must first catch the leader. Ye Tianhua is the gang leader. If we don't catch him, it will be difficult to stop them from continuing to commit crimes. And everyone should be clear about Ye Tianhua's style of doing things. He will not show up before the official action, and he will always keep an eye on the other members of the gang. After Huang Dayong and the other two are arrested, it is difficult for us to guarantee that Ye Tianhua will not receive the news. Originally, with this letter, we were in secret and they were in the open, but once Ye Tianhua knows that the action has been exposed, the situation will be reversed, and it will become that they are in secret and we are in the open. If that happens, it will be difficult for us to stop the plan."

Superintendent Xu fell into deep thought.

The police also want to see results. If they can catch Ye Tianhua and his men by waiting, they will be happy. But what if they fail to catch him? Would

n't it be good to catch Huang Dayong?

But if, as Li Chengbang analyzed, Huang Dayong is caught, Ye Tianhua will know that the plan has been leaked. If he can give up the crime, it will be good, but what if he doesn't give up and just changes the time? Will it catch the police off guard?

When the news comes out, will the citizens feel that they have been deceived by the police? Will it cause greater dissatisfaction?

After thinking for a long time, Superintendent Xu decided to listen to Li Chengbang and take a risk.

Soon after the police contacted the person in charge of the Causeway Bay store of Lai Wing Department Store, Wen Yue received a call from the manager of the mall. She quickly asked her assistant to contact a nearby hotel to arrange a meeting room for both parties to sit down and discuss in detail.

The people in Ye Tianhua's gang are very cunning. Whether it is to have the police officers in disguise frequently enter and exit the mall, or to have the people in the mall frequently go to the police station, it is easy to arouse their vigilance.

It is better to take the middle value and meet outside.

Wen Yue also participated in the first meeting. On the way there, Wen Yue called Wen Rongsheng to report the matter.

Because the police's plan is to catch the turtle in the jar, before Ye Tianhua's gang takes action, of course, the fewer people who know about this matter, the better. So unless this is part of the police plan, she didn't plan to tell Liang Jiaming and others about this before it happened.

But she couldn't keep it a secret from Wen Rongsheng.

First, if something went wrong later, she would have to take the responsibility if she didn't tell anyone. After telling Wen Rongsheng, he would be the tall man to carry the responsibility.

Second, Wen Yue was not the kind of person who would just work silently without saying a word. She believed that crying children get candy. She would let Wen Rongsheng know as much as she had done. Not exaggerating was her last ounce of humility.

If she could successfully stop Ye Tianhua's actions this time and reduce the losses of Lirong Department Store and its merchants, she would definitely ask for a reward from Wen Rongsheng.

Wen Rongsheng had naturally heard of Ye Tianhua's name. He took this matter very seriously and had no objection to Wen Yue's arrangement. He said, "Just do it. If there is any situation, contact me immediately."

"Okay."

After the phone call, they arrived at the hotel.

Wen Yue got off the car and walked directly into the lobby to take the elevator. Soon, the group arrived at the conference room.

The mall manager and the police representative were all there. The police sent quite a few people, five in total, including Li Chengbang.

Apparently Li Chengbang still remembered Wen Yue. Seeing her expression, he was a little surprised. After being introduced as the new regional vice president of Lirong Department Store, he suddenly realized what was going on.

After a simple greeting, the two sides began to discuss the plan.

The plan given by the police was actually not complicated. First, the patrols near Lirong Department Store will be strengthened in the near future; second, the police will deploy several police officers to work in the gold shop on the first floor of Lirong Department Store before Ye Tianhua and others take action, and be on standby at any time.

The focus of this deployment is on the second point. Because Ye Tianhua and others are very cunning, it is easy for them to detect the sudden change of staff in the gold shop, so they need to contact the person in charge of the gold shop who is in contact with the mall to recruit people to allow the police to blend in smoothly.

The mall manager did not answer immediately after hearing this, but looked at Wen Yue until she said, "Just cooperate with what the sir says."

"No problem."

Before the meeting ended, the police representative specifically reminded Wen Yue and others that it would be best not to disclose the content of this meeting to others.

Although in theory, letting the security and gold shop managers know about this matter is beneficial for prevention, it is also easy for them to cause panic and expose the police's deployment.

Wen Yue and the mall manager naturally agreed. They both trust the police in this regard.

...

Two days passed quickly in the orderly deployment of the police.

Ye Tianhua's group planned to act. Wen Yue got up very early that day. There was no way. She couldn't sleep because she had something on her mind!

Yi Huai saw that she woke up and couldn't sleep, so he invited her to go to the gym to run together.

The community here is not big, and there is a commercial street outside. Running is not as convenient as living in the mountains. Yi Huai made timely adjustments and set up a gym at home, equipped with dumbbells, treadmills and other fitness equipment.

Wen Yue almost thought she had heard it wrong. No, what's wrong with him? Who is so nice to invite his wife to go jogging so early in the morning? Can't she sweat somewhere else?

Oh no, isn't it better to lie down until dawn? Well,

there are things hidden in my heart. It is easy to be anxious when lying down. I still need to exercise properly to vent. So Wen Yue chose to give in, put on a swimsuit and go to the rooftop to swim.

I have to say, it's good to be rich. You can live in a high-rise building and get an outdoor swimming pool.

After swimming three laps, it was time for breakfast. The two took a shower and went downstairs to have breakfast.

It was Saturday, Wen Yue didn't have to go to the company, and she didn't go to the Lai Wing Department Store in Causeway Bay. As a person with poor physical strength, she thought she shouldn't cause trouble for the police.

However, she prepared a mobile phone and got the mobile phone number of the commander of this operation, intending to send the information about the robber gang she saw through the system plug-in at any time.

But on this day, Wen Yue went into the study after breakfast, and stayed there until noon when Yi Huai knocked on the door and called for lunch, and she didn't see Huang Dayong receive the action order issued by Ye Tianhua.

After lunch, Wen Yue rushed into the study again.

It was not until four o'clock in the afternoon that Huang Dayong received a call from Ye Tianhua: [There is a note, change, wait.]

Obviously, they were exposed.
