Chapter 299: Seems to be lacking a bit of blood? Only seeking the optimal solution

After that person entered the courtyard area, quite a few people began to act and go into the courtyard. Li Long knew this was the time to pick up the goods.

Here, Li Long made a gesture to someone not far away. That person nodded, then whispered a few words to the people around him. Some people nearby who looked like they were setting up stalls, and some who looked like they were buying things, immediately gathered toward that courtyard.

Li Long saw that this group of people had already surrounded the outside of the courtyard. He packed up his stall, put his bicycle at the milk tea shop, and asked Ke Youmu to help watch it.

"What? Is it starting?" Ke Youmu saw Li Long holding a stick in his hand and asked with a smile.

"Yeah, you might not be able to sell them naan in the future." Li Long mentioned as he left.

"Not selling is even better. I don't like people who eat my naan to have problems. Bad people don't deserve to eat naan." Ke Youmu's reasoning was very simple; he wouldn't lower his moral standards for the sake of making money.

Li Long smiled.

When he arrived near the courtyard holding the stick, the people who had come over had already started knocking on the door.

Li Long nodded to one of the people in this group and then retreated to the side.

Time returned to two days ago.

After Li Long confirmed that it was a den for reselling fake and shoddy electronic products, he returned to Maxian and notified Officer Guo at the police station across from the courtyard.

After Officer Guo seriously asked Li Long about the situation of this den, he quickly reported it and began to contact relevant departments.

The police couldn't manage so much at this time, but the people from the office for cracking down on speculation and profiteering also needed the clues that the police could bring.

Although it was something that happened in Shicheng, Li Long wasn't familiar with the police over there, only the one at the bridge checkpoint, which was a bit inconvenient for him to operate some things.

That's why he reported the case in Maxian.

The convenience he got in exchange was that he could "visit" this arrest operation from the periphery with the other party's tacit consent.

Officer Guo was familiar with Li Long, and before the action, he also told Li Long about the matter.

"We have received multiple reports, but the situation of the cases is relatively complex, and the amounts are scattered, making it difficult to convict. The clues pursued at the time were fighting on their own, and we didn't expect it to be a den case—this time it was thanks to the clues you provided."

Li Long thought that woman was quite slippery. She let Gu Ermao and these people carry the things back, and then scattered the stalls to let those people go to surrounding counties, cities, towns, and corps to sell. In this way, even if something happened, it wouldn't be easy to find the specific people.

It's just that he didn't expect Gu Ermao, who was carrying the goods, to be seen by Li Long.

"How long can such people be sentenced if caught?" Li Long asked Officer Guo a key question.

"It depends on the specific circumstances. In the past two years, the economy has been opened up and invigorated, but protecting the people's wallets is still a big deal. They engage in this kind of fake and shoddy goods, which is a crime more serious than speculation and profiteering. In a critical period, it starts at at least three years."

Li Long felt that three years was still a bit short, but it was okay.

He had actually thought about not reporting to the police when he bumped into Gu Ermao earlier, but instead giving him a muffled blow, or even breaking a leg, to vent his anger.

But what could that do? It would just make him suffer for a while.

Li Long hadn't thought about killing Gu Ermao—in the mountains, when bumping into those who committed crimes on the side of the road in Shicheng, he hadn't thought about killing anyone.

Having lived two lives, some concepts of morality and law were deeply ingrained. For self-defense, shooting someone was fine. But to directly beat someone to death, he really didn't have that thought.

It wasn't necessary.

Now that he could let Gu Ermao go in for a few years, it was quite good.

If it really came down to it, Li Long would also feel that he lacked the bloodiness of a young person, and when bumping into an enemy, he only thought about sending the person in.

But maybe people are different. Ten years later in the previous life, someone in the village invited people from the team to drink at a wedding. Two young people of similar age drank alcohol, and because of bragging, two people who had a very good relationship quarreled, and one of them stabbed the other in the thigh with a knife.

Li Long was at the next table at the time and even tried to persuade the two to stop fighting—he couldn't quite understand how two people with such a good relationship could draw knives on each other while talking?

Was it because of the alcohol? Not entirely. After all, after stabbing, that guy ran away, and he also knew fear.

It can only be attributed to the fact that people are different.

Li Long was quite familiar with these few courtyards. Officer Guo glanced at Li Long, signaling him not to follow too closely, as others were carrying weapons. Now there were people inside the courtyard starting to distribute goods. It was the time to close the net.

Li Long retreated a few steps and went around to the other side.

The courtyard wall here was about one point five or six meters high, not high, a rammed earth wall. Li Long saw the police and the people from the office for cracking down on speculation and profiteering surrounding the courtyard, and there were also people guarding the low places here, so he stood guard while holding the stick and moving around.

He guessed that with so many people inside, they definitely wouldn't be caught honestly, so it was highly probable that someone would bolt out. Since he came to watch the fun, he would act as an enthusiastic member of the masses and help out.

The people from the office for cracking down on speculation and profiteering in Shicheng looked at Li Long, who was wandering back and forth, and also knew that this was someone brought by their counterparts from Maxian, and was the person who provided the clues, so they didn't bother him.

An extra person meant extra arrest power, nothing wrong with that.

Then he heard a sound at the courtyard gate, followed by a series of words like "Don't move," "Hold your head and squat down," "A kid ran away," "Damn, they have weapons," etc., coming from the courtyard.

Those people from the office for cracking down on speculation and profiteering, holding police batons and wearing armbands, immediately concentrated their attention, and then saw someone carrying a bag bolt out from the top of the wall, and as soon as he landed, he was pressed down.

This person was quite loyal; when he was pressed down, he shouted from this side:

"There's an ambush!"

My goodness, did he think the two countries were at war?

Two more people bolted out from the top of the wall. Hearing the shouting, it was already too late. There were people chasing under the wall, and when they flipped over, Li Long knocked one down with a stick.

Another one saw an opportunity to escape, hugged a bag, and rushed out. At the alley entrance, he was swept down by a policeman who came to support. Li Long pressed the person down, watching the one who went out land face-first, and he felt his own face ache a bit.

Then he saw a familiar figure jump down from a place ten meters ahead, and then bent over, hugging a big bag, and bolted toward the courtyard opposite!

Finally caught you!

When he rushed out, he heard someone say "Ouch," and Li Long didn't stop running. When he turned his head, he saw a staff member from the office for cracking down on speculation and profiteering shaking there.

"They have electric guns!"

"Be careful!"

"Don't show mercy, these guys are playing with their lives!" My goodness!

Li Long was both surprised and happy. When he caught up with Gu Ermao, Gu Ermao had already bolted onto the top of the wall of the opposite courtyard and was preparing to flip inside. Li Long smashed a stick hard onto his lower leg!

"Ah—!"

Gu Ermao screamed and flipped into the opposite courtyard where no one lived. Li Long climbed onto the top of the wall leaning on the stick, and then watched Gu Ermao hugging his lower leg and still running toward the opposite side in the courtyard.

The vegetables in this courtyard had already withered, and there was no cover. Li Long's stick had hit the flesh behind Gu Ermao's lower leg; it hurt, but no bones should have been broken, so he ran quite fast while limping on one leg.

Li Long chased after him—waited for three or five days, wasn't it for this moment? Heaven favored him, actually letting him wait for it!

Gu Ermao hadn't run to the middle of the vegetable field when he was caught up by Li Long. This time, he swept a stick hard at the other party's ankle—Gu Ermao screamed and flipped directly to the ground.

His big bag was thrown out, and some electronic watches and calculators inside were scattered, along with some money.

And Gu Ermao was still tightly gripping something that looked like a pistol in his hand—Li Long took a look and recognized it.

An electric shock gun.

There was a period when this thing was relatively popular in the countryside here in Shicheng and Maxian. I don't know where it was gotten from; it was just the appearance of a toy gun, and the gun head was two electric shock heads. Pulling the trigger could also make a current sound—did this thing exist at this time?

!.

Li Long remembered that this thing shouldn't have appeared until four or five years later, right?

Gu Ermao saw clearly that it was Li Long and was stunned for a moment. The fierce words in his mouth didn't come out.

Two people who had played together for seven or eight years, considered childhood friends, bumping into each other, the look was also quite complex.

Li Long didn't have any psychological burden at all. Looking at Gu Ermao's embarrassed appearance, it was quite refreshing. He sneered and said:

"Run, why don't you run?"

"Li Long? Why are you among the people catching us?"

"Because I don't like you!" Li Long wouldn't say it was him who reported the news, "Hehe, consider my luck good, caught you, will you run again?"

"Without Xiao Long, let me go..." Gu Ermao suddenly said in a low and humble voice, "It was my fault for offending you before. This time, as long as you let me go, the things in the bag are all yours... there are several hundred yuan there, and so many things, worth over a thousand! Just beg you to let me go, pretend you didn't see me..."

Li Long sneered and didn't speak.

"Without Xiao Long, anyway, we were buddies once, you can't just watch me go into the bureau, right?" Gu Ermao said quite affectionately, "When you first came to the village, it was me who took you to play..."

The encirclement work outside the courtyard had entered the final stage, and occasionally one could hear words like "Hurry up," "Press it tightly," "Tie it well, be careful," "Pack up the things," etc.

Li Long was slightly distracted, and that Gu Ermao suddenly raised his hand, and a handful of sand was sprinkled toward Li Long!

Li Long immediately turned his head and closed his eyes, but some still got into his eyes.

Then he heard Gu Ermao get up and "jump" toward the top of the wall—his ankle was injured, so he could only jump.

This damn—Li Long cursed himself, actually letting him fool him at this time!

He squeezed his eyes hard and chased after him, watching Gu Ermao's two hands already gripping the top of the wall, preparing to flip over with effort.

This time Li Long wouldn't show mercy again. He smashed a stick hard toward Gu Ermao's arm gripping the wall!

"Ah—"

Gu Ermao's scream this time was comparable to a pig being slaughtered, and he fell directly to the foot of the wall.

Li Long didn't expect this guy to be quite fierce; even like this, when he turned around, he still extended that electric shock gun toward himself, looking like he wanted to shock himself.

Li Long blinked hard, tears streaming down continuously. He retreated two steps, looked at Gu Ermao's extended hand, and smashed another stick hard. Gu Ermao's arm was smashed and bent abnormally. Li Long felt relieved, retreated two steps, and continued to rub his eyes.

"Xiao Li, Comrade Xiao Li?"

Officer Guo's voice came over.

Li Long turned his head, barely seeing Officer Guo gripping the top of the wall and shouting there. He responded:

"I caught one, but my eyes were blinded by the sand he sprinkled. You bring people over and take him away."

Gu Ermao listened to this, his eyeballs rolling around.

Officer Guo and two other people flipped over the wall. He looked at Li Long's eyes and asked with concern:

"Are you okay?"

"Not a big problem, sand got in, it should be fine after washing for a while."

Those two people helped Gu Ermao up and took him out.

"That thing on the ground should be what this guy brought." Li Long pointed to the location of the bag. He couldn't see very clearly and said, "He said there are electronic watches, and money, and such."

Officer Guo took a look and nodded, saying:

"You don't need to worry about these for now. Let's go, first get some water to wash your eyes. This time you have made a great contribution. Do you know? This time, just the people involved in the case were over twelve, and the value of the case was nearly ten thousand yuan—such a big case, right under our noses, really didn't expect..."

Li Long smiled. He remembered seeing a faucet by the wall when he flipped in. He walked over blurrily, washing his eyes while asking in a low voice:

"Officer Guo, how do you plan to deal with these things in the end?"

"What?"

"I mean these electronic watches and such? After being confiscated, will they be sold?"

"Not sure, I can ask." Officer Guo understood what Li Long meant and said with a smile, "Do you think they look quite foreign?"

"Yeah. The quality of the watch isn't good, but it just looks quite foreign. Thinking if they can be sold later, then buy a few for my nephew and niece."

"This kind of fake and shoddy product will most likely be destroyed. I'll ask when the time comes."

Li Long didn't care either. Being able to send Gu Ermao in was already very happy. Other things, whether they existed or not, were all extras.

After washing his eyes, although they were still red, at least he could see clearly.

Officer Guo and his colleagues packed up and counted the things in the bag, then took the people away. Li Long also returned to the milk tea shop with satisfaction.

Done. (End of chapter) ===== CHAPTER 300 =====
