Liu Erzhu thought for a moment and then answered.
“Aside from those currently on duty, we can spare about 130 to 140 people.”
"Okay, then I'll trouble you to bring them all here to assist our police and special forces in a comprehensive search."
This residential area is neither too big nor too small, and given Zheng Qiang's exceptional skills, catching him from inside will not be an easy task.
To avoid any unforeseen circumstances, Liu Changhe agreed to Liu Erzhu's request without hesitation.
"Okay, I'll go right away."
After Liu Erzhu finished speaking, he turned around and ran back to his security post.
A short while later, a team of more than 100 security guards, each holding a rubber baton, assembled in front of the Panlong Group's gate.
These security guards are all strong and robust young men. Over the past six months, under the training of Yue Zhengkui, the deputy director of the security department, they have made remarkable progress in both their mental outlook and physical fitness.
Liu Erzhu stood at the front of the line, cleared his throat, and shouted with a gloomy expression.
"Some bastard injured our chairman and colleagues, and now that person has fled into the residential area across the street. I am now requesting everyone's cooperation with the police to conduct a full-scale search. We must dig three feet into the ground to find that bastard. Does everyone have confidence?"
"have!"
Everyone stood tall and answered loudly.
"Okay, let's go."
With a wave of his hand, Liu Erzhu ordered all the security guards, led by Yue Zhengkui, to quickly enter combat readiness.
More and more police officers, along with over a hundred security guards, blocked the entire community, evacuating residents while meticulously searching every corner.
Zheng Qiang fled into a courtyard, grabbed a bed sheet that the owner was drying, and wrapped it around himself to prevent bloodstains from dripping onto the ground and revealing his whereabouts.
Relying on his good skills, he managed to climb over a few more walls.
Gradually, the gunshot wounds weakened him, and the low walls that he used to leap over easily now became insurmountable mountains.
The courtyard gate was filled with the cacophony of voices. He began to despair, knowing that in his current physical condition, there was no way he could escape.
He was starting to regret it. Why did he have to take revenge on Xiao Weiguo? He had been too confident in his skills. Like Jiao Bai, he hadn't expected that Xiao Weiguo had such a formidable opponent hidden around him.
If it weren't for Jiao Bai, I would have been 100% confident of success and could have jumped away with ease.
But what's the use of regret? Facts are facts. He relied on his unparalleled martial arts skills to dominate for more than a decade.
The same confidence that came with his martial arts skills ultimately led him to a point of no return.
The blood on his body was flowing less and less, and the sheet he used to bandage his wounds was starting to drip blood.
His face grew paler and paler, and his steps became unsteady.
He knew he had no more chances. He was so tired, so very tired.
The massive blood loss made him feel colder and colder. He wanted to find a warm place to hide, even if he collapsed and never got up again, he wanted to die in a warm place.
However, all the people in this area had been evacuated, and every door was locked.
He couldn't find a quilt to wrap himself in, and the July weather gave him a bone-chilling cold.
Finally, in a corner of the yard, he saw a large doghouse, which seemed to be lined with thick, tattered cotton.
The dog, which should have lived inside, was either taken away by its owner or ran away in fear.
Zheng Qiang became as excited as if he had discovered a gold mine. He used the last of his strength to run over in a few steps, then he bent down and desperately squeezed into the doghouse.
The doghouse's exit wasn't large, but fortunately, Zheng Qiang was also quite thin. He struggled and thrashed on the ground like a wriggling maggot.
He stuck his head into the dog kennel, seemingly oblivious to the pungent, foul odor emanating from it.
The warmth and sense of security this place offered him had become his final goal in life.
Gradually, he felt his breathing becoming more and more difficult, and his double eyelids becoming heavier and heavier.
He used his last bit of strength to desperately kick the ground with his legs, but the narrow door of the doghouse was still stuck on his hips, preventing him from taking another step.
His movements became increasingly labored, his hands gripping the tattered cotton wadding tightly on the ground, his eyes fixed intently ahead.
Gradually, his entire body stiffened, and his head slammed limply to the ground.
And so, half of his body died in this doghouse.
A notorious thief who had roamed various provinces for over a decade and looted countless important ancient tombs died in the kennel of a dog of unknown breed.
How ridiculous! He probably never imagined that he would end his legendary yet sinful life in such a way. And what's even more ridiculous is that his biggest regret in life was not being able to crawl into a doghouse.
When the police, on high alert, searched house to house until they found him, he had been dead for some time.
With everyone's help, they dragged him out of the doghouse, or perhaps because he bumped into something, the brick doghouse collapsed with a crash.
It seems that this world is unwilling to leave Zheng Qiang even the last place where he can hold his dreams.
According to the forensic examination, Zheng Qiang died from massive blood loss caused by a bullet piercing his lung from behind.
What shocked the forensic doctor was that he had carried such injuries and climbed over a dozen yards before finally arriving here and dying from excessive blood loss.
Just how terrifying is this person's perseverance and physical strength?
It's hard to imagine whether these people in front of him would have been able to capture him if he hadn't been hit by that bullet by chance.
As for why he died in the dog kennel, everyone agreed that he was trying to find a safe place to hide in his final moments, hoping to evade capture.
After all, nobody cares what a damned person thinks in the end.
His death would be the outcome everyone wants.
When Liu Changhe arrived at the scene, his identity was confirmed by Zheng Qiang's accomplices. This massive mobile tomb raiding gang was thus completely wiped out.
The entire case has now come to a satisfactory conclusion.
Liu Changhe summoned Hu Haidong and asked him to appease the residents and handle the aftermath.
The others brought Zheng Qiang's body back to the team. After a further autopsy, it was sent for cremation, since he wasn't a local and they couldn't notify his family to claim the body.
After arranging things here, Liu Changhe rushed to the hospital without stopping. Since he was not clear about Xiao Weiguo's injuries, Liu Changhe did not arrange for anyone to notify his family, so as not to cause unnecessary panic to his family.
Especially for elderly women, given their age, it's best not to let them know unless the situation is clear.
