Chapter 588

This place is relatively sparsely populated, but vehicles do pass through.

A short while later.

A vehicle drove over.

The driver saw Zuo He dressed in women's clothing and mistook her for some young Miss from somewhere.

Seeing the young Miss waving from afar, he immediately drove over.

Then.

He felt something was increasingly wrong as he drove.

Because there was a person lying on the ground.

It seemed some liquid was also flowing on the ground.

"Something's wrong!"

434. Police Investigation

"How is the investigation into Did Ning Chen going?"

Hearing Hua Ping sat in the office of the Xia Dao Police Station, processing the file information at hand.

Displayed above were the latest batch of criminals arrested for drug trafficking and brought into the police station.

A police officer beside him held a paper report and said, "Up to now, we have inspected nearly seventy percent of the inns, hotels, and some entertainment venues, but have not found any trace of Did Ning Chen."

"Just now, news came out that someone saw an RV identical to the one Did Ning Chen drove; I estimate it must be him."

Hearing Hua Ping heard this, immediately put down his work, and then looked seriously at the officer, saying, "In the subsequent investigation, was this RV found?"

The officer shook his head and said, "No, it was not found."

"What about checking the surveillance?" Hearing Hua Ping asked again.

The officer also shook his head, "No, it was not found."

Hearing Hua Ping pondered again, "The other group investigated based on Did Ning Chen's information; have they found any results?"

"A little," the officer sighed and said, "They found the hotel where Did Ning Chen lived previously, but he had already left long ago. Moreover, the surveillance showed that the little girl Did Ning Chen usually carried with him was not there; he drove the RV away around noon today, so we just missed him."

"The surveillance after that only tracked one direction point, and then nothing more. But I estimate he certainly won't head in that direction; the probability is very small." As the officer spoke, he also shook his head.

It seemed this recent task was extremely thorny.

A feeling that Did Ning Chen was very difficult to deal with had also arisen regarding him.

"What we can think of, Did Ning Chen can also think of." Hearing Hua Ping said, resting his chin on his hand, "Did Ning Chen has been able to maneuver with the Gulf Family for so long; he certainly isn't a fool. On the contrary, he is very smart and knows how to evade our pursuit."

"However, there is one premise." Hearing Hua Ping said calmly.

The officer stepped forward and asked, "What premise?"

Hearing Hua Ping said, "That is, he knows we are looking for him, or that the mercenaries and the Gulf Family are looking for him."

"The probability of the latter is high, but the probability that Did Ning Chen originally knew is also high, so I deduce it is the former; otherwise, based on the strength of Did Ning Chen currently inferred, he should be eager to seek out the people of the Gulf Family, which also means he wouldn't change locations." Hearing Hua Ping thought carefully.

"But the police are different; he cannot want to be arrested by the police, so he can only leave and evade our pursuit." Hearing Hua Ping rubbed his somewhat tired eyes, "Then, who leaked the information?"

"Did Ning Chen is very familiar with the Donghai City Police Station; his girlfriend worked there, but was shot by someone from the Gulf Family and thus died in the line of duty." The officer voiced his own thoughts, "Perhaps there is an acquaintance of Did Ning Chen in the Donghai City Police Station who told him about our investigation into him."

Hearing Hua Ping nodded and said, "In that case, let us continue the three-way investigation. If we cannot change the facts, we can only work harder."

The officer nodded quickly, "By the way, Captain Hua, the matter regarding the Gulf Family and the mercenaries we asked you to investigate has yielded results."

"Oh?" Hearing Hua Ping heard the good news and immediately smiled, "Is the progress on this side so fast? It's a bit unexpected!"

The officer also smiled and said, "After all, this isn't a small individual target like Did Ning Chen; at this level of scale, it is still easy to have eyewitnesses."

"Tell me about the mercenaries first." Hearing Hua Ping nodded.

The officer glanced at the paper report in his hand and then slowly said, "Some rumors have circulated among the locals on Xia Dao regarding the mercenaries; we followed these rumors to conduct a deeper investigation and then found a local group of fishermen."

"They said a group of foreigners who play with guns every day lived on the west coast, but the noise has decreased significantly recently, and in the past few days, it has completely stopped."

Hearing Hua Ping said silently, "Have they already left?"

The officer nodded and said, "There were eyewitnesses nearby who said they have left. Moreover, many bold people went over to check the situation; only a mess remained, traces of where they had lived."

"Why would they change locations for no reason? Where did they move to?" Hearing Hua Ping continued to ask.

The officer looked down at the file again and said, "Recently, strange rumors have spread in the forest to the south, saying that thunder sounds occur for no reason; it must be them."

Hearing Hua Ping frowned and asked, "Have the people in these two places not called the police?"

The officer nodded and said, "They said they called the police as soon as they first discovered it, but received no response at all. Their place of residence is far from the city center; they certainly wouldn't travel all the way here just to report a case."

Speaking.

The officer shrugged and said, "Anyway, it has no effect on their lives."

Hearing Hua Ping wanted to stand up, thought for a moment, and sat back down, "There is a traitor within the police station; even higher-ranking officers might know, but the money the other side offered was simply too much."

"Captain Hua!" The officer bent down, checked around to confirm no one was there, and whispered, "Do you think the Chief of the Xia Dao Police Station might have been bribed by that group of mercenaries?"

Hearing Hua Ping heard this and shook his head, saying, "The possibility is not high; after all, that group of mercenaries does not yet have the courage to directly approach a figure of the Chief's level. On the contrary, bribing and threatening small police officers in surrounding areas would be more convenient."

"True, they probably don't have that much courage." The officer nodded and said, "Then Captain Hua, we haven't dispatched police forces to investigate yet; what do you think?"

Hearing Hua Ping said without hesitation, "Contact the armed police and order them to go warn the mercenaries to leave; if they do not leave, engage them directly!"

"Our country's sovereignty must absolutely not be lost in the hands of the police!" Hearing Hua Ping said solemnly.

Hearing Hearing Hua Ping's such resounding and powerful reply.

Even the officer, who was usually a bit careless, felt a sense of awe arise in his heart instantly.

He didn't expect Hearing Hua Ping to be so decisive when facing such matters.

It was completely different from his attitude in handling cases on ordinary days.

The officer's heart instantly tightened, and he saluted Hearing Hua Ping, saying, "Yes, Captain Hua! I will contact the armed police shortly to go investigate and expel them!"

"Good!" Hearing Hua Ping nodded and said, "You must handle this matter well; this concerns our dignity and absolutely cannot be careless!"

435. Long Hu Gang

After finishing the discussion about the mercenary group.

Hua Ping began to ask about the Haiwan family again.

"Regarding the Haiwan family, how is your investigation going?" Hua Ping asked calmly.

As for handling information.

Hua Ping usually first has his subordinates collect information, then he himself compiles and deduces.

If there is a crime scene, he will also go to the scene personally to investigate.

But for cases involving multiple aspects like this.

others must take the lead first.

Large-scale police searches.

The clues obtained are necessarily comprehensive and numerous.

If one wants to analyze all these clues into a perfect answer.

piecing together these fragmented puzzles one by one.

then one must compile them and let a headquarters mind analyze them.

Now.

Hua Ping plays this role.

So.

He now needs not only to investigate clues, but also to discover some clues hidden within others' clues.

Rather than going to the scene to investigate some information.

The officer heard Hua Ping's question, glanced at the paper report in his hand, and continued: "Regarding the Haiwan family, we have obtained relatively few clues, but we did get some clues. This is because after they gathered, they wore uniform clothing and were reported by the masses in Chaoyang District."

Hua Ping waved his hand and said: "It's fine, just say it."

The officer nodded and said: "Probably a few days ago, dozens of black sedans drove into Xia Dao one after another. This is not something rare, but they all parked in a suburban area."

"Someone saw them and took photos, and later they acted together. About thirty or forty people walked onto the street, which is how they were discovered by people."

"Now, where are they staying?" Hua Ping asked with slight confusion. "With so many people, it should not be easy to arrange."

The officer nodded and said: "Regarding this question, one of our officers investigated deeply. He used to be an undercover police officer, then became a plainclothes officer. He discovered that all members of the Haiwan family had flooded into the famous local gang in Xia Dao."

"Gang? Is there still a gang in Xia Dao?" Hua Ping asked.

The officer turned a page of the paper report, glanced at it, and answered: "Regarding this gang, it is said that no one has been able to catch any evidence until now. They are all huddled in a place called Hongxing, which is basically many entertainment centers. Oh right, this gang is named Long Hu Gang."

Hua Ping rarely made a complaint: "This name is truly vulgar, but it does have that flavor of the Heishe Society."

"Who says otherwise!" The officer also laughed. "I guess their boss definitely never went to school!"
