Chapter 190: Conclusive Evidence
Chu Qiao felt a tightness in his chest, and it wasn't until he called Zhao Xian that he slowly calmed down.
Zhao Xian on the other end of the phone was still in a daze, his tone was cold: "Who is it, in the middle of the night?"
Chu Qiao's voice trembled slightly: "Director Zhao, I'm Xiao Qiao. There's a major case. Lane 3, Old Factory Area, Changfeng Road."
Zhao Xian suddenly woke up and asked, "How many police officers are needed?"
Chu Qiao looked at the eight grown men inside and said, "Four at most. Our main target today isn't them, but Chairman Liu of the Rescue Association. We must not let him get wind of this and run away."
Director Zhao hung up the phone, and Chu Qiao moved slowly to the front of the factory.
In the large warehouse with dim lights, there are at least a hundred iron racks, each only about 80 centimeters wide. More than a hundred rhinos are tied to the racks, leaving no room for movement.
The feces under their feet have piled up into a small mountain. The only part of their body that can move is their head, and their range of movement is limited to the small space between lowering their head and raising their head. The purpose is just to allow them to eat grass and not starve to death.
The horns on the rhinoceros' heads were all cut off in a uniform and neat manner, and some of them had small tips.
Chu Qiao watched them push the newly brought rhino into the iron rack, and while it was unconscious from anesthesia, they tied a 10-centimeter-thick iron chain around it.
A rhinoceros had its head drooping and its entire body hanging on an iron chain. Its eyes had turned into two big holes, its body was crawling with maggots, and flies were buzzing around it.
The dead rhino was the source of the stench just now.
This corpse, which is emitting a foul smell at this moment, should have been galloping on the grassland, eating grass leisurely, or at the very least, it should have been in the small space of the zoo, looking at the smiling faces of different children every day.
Chu Qiao clenched his fists and clenched his teeth, fearing that he would act impulsively and alert the enemy.
After several men dealt with the new rhino, they reluctantly walked towards the dead rhino.
One of the men, whose arms were covered in tattoos, muttered quietly, "Damn it! It's full of worms. It's been dead for a long time. Can't Old Liu find someone to clean it up?"
"You're talking nonsense. Who would dare to touch this thing?"
As they spoke, several people swiftly released the chains, and the dead rhino fell to the ground with a thud.
Several people took out an iron chain from behind their backs, with a big iron hook at one end.
The tattooed man raised the iron hook and pushed down with his hand, intending to insert it into the rhino's nose.
Chu Qiao's eyes turned cold, and his body flashed into the warehouse like the wind. He grabbed the tattooed man's throat and pulled him down from behind.
When the accomplices around saw their comrade fall down, they immediately picked up the iron chain and threw it towards Chu Qiao.
Chu Qiao tightened the iron chain with one hand, hooked the iron hook onto the iron frame on the side, and pulled it with leverage. The floor covered with rhino dung was very slippery, and the man holding the iron chain was instantly pulled over by Chu Qiao.
Chu Qiao pulled the iron chain around the man, pulling him into the chain and wrapping it around his body. Chu Qiao snorted coldly, "You're tying yourself up in a cocoon."
After saying that, he tied the man to an iron frame. A rhinoceros, whose only head could move, hit the man with its horn, which had not yet grown, causing the man to wail.
"Who are you?"
Among the remaining six people, the leader was still calm and was stalling for time, but he was talking on the phone.
Chu Qiao narrowed his eyes and didn't give him a chance. He kicked the phone out of his hand with his leg.
"How powerful can a woman be? Brothers, don't be afraid, go ahead."
Seeing this, the man rushed over and spoke to the others who were still in a daze.
Several people rushed towards Chu Qiao and surrounded him.
Chu Qiao frowned and didn't act rashly again. She had to buy time, as Director Zhao should be here soon.
Chu Qiao raised the corner of his mouth and looked at the leading man with disdain.
The man waved his hand, and a short man with muscular arms rushed towards Chu Qiao.
He wanted to attack Chu Qiao's head right away. Chu Qiao dodged to the left and stretched out his foot. The man was short and his lower body was very stable, so this kick did not knock him down.
The men hugged Chu Qiao around the waist. The leading man saw an opportunity and took out a rope from somewhere and was about to put it around Chu Qiao's neck.
Chu Qiao gritted her teeth, and suddenly concentrated all her strength on her legs. She jumped up and shook the short man off. She grabbed the rope that was about to be put around her neck, and her body turned in the air. The rope had already been put around the wrist of the leading man.
The leading man got angry and hit Chu Qiao with his head. Chu Qiao kicked the man aside, pulled the rope and pulled it back, like he was pulling a football.
When the remaining few people saw this situation, they immediately ran out in panic.
Chu Qiao snorted coldly: "No one can escape."
Just as I was about to chase after him, I heard the sound of someone kicking the door.
"Put your hands on your head and don't move."
Chu Qiao breathed a sigh of relief. She turned around and looked at the group of poor rhinos. She wanted to untie their chains, but she was afraid that the rhinos would have a stress reaction after being stimulated and run out to hurt ordinary residents.
Forget it, let’s wait for professionals to handle it.
"You, what are you doing? Put your hands up, or we will take coercive measures."
Chu Qiao heard a voice coming from behind.
Talk about her again?
Chu Qiao wanted to turn around, but he didn't expect the other party to rush over and grab Chu Qiao's wrist.
Chu Qiao said helplessly: "Comrade police, I was the one who called the police."
"Hey, Xiaoke, it's a misunderstanding. This is Xiaoqiao. Xiaoqiao called the police for me."
The man then let Chu Qiao go. Chu Qiao turned around and the two of them stared at each other.
"It's you."
"Is it you?"
"Do you know each other?"
Chu Qiao nodded and waved his hand: "Director Zhao, now is not the time to talk about this. How is things going with Chairman Liu?"
"Don't worry, he can't get away. He happened to have an undercover agent from our Animal Management Bureau with him. When we sent someone over, the old guy tried to run, but the undercover officer immediately controlled him."
"Come with me and take a look?"
Chu Qiao nodded: "Not only that, there are many other hidden secrets. I will tell you on the way."
Director Zhao was stunned.
In the car, Chu Qiao told Director Zhao about the relationship between Liu Huadong and Chairman Liu, and what he saw last time in Ulu State.
Director Zhao fell into deep thought. After a moment, he said, "It seems this case requires the cooperation of the police over there. I'll contact the local police officer."
Chu Qiao: "There is a police officer named Lao Bei, who used to be the chief but was demoted. He should be very familiar with this case."
Director Zhao: "I'll bring this up with the higher-ups."
Not long after, they arrived at the villa area in the suburbs. The innermost building was Chairman Liu’s private lair, which even his wife Luo Jinhua didn’t know about.
The floor of the villa is covered with ostentatious golden tiles, and in the large pond in the yard, koi of all sizes are desperately trying to poke their heads out.
Chu Qiao shook his head. How would they feel if they knew their master was such a person?
Director Zhao: "Xiaoqiao?"
"I'm here." Chu Qiao followed Director Zhao in.
President Liu, who always sounded righteous, was now tied up and lying on the ground motionless.
