Chapter 144 The Capture Plan
When Jin Ping'an saw Wu Ke asking about the messenger, he quickly changed the subject: "He's the bounty hunter I hired; he's the one who helped catch that drug dealer!"

Wu Ke frowned and said, "Bounty hunter?"

Seeing Wu Ke frown, Jin Ping'an's heart skipped a beat.

Although it's unclear what exactly the messenger's situation is, if Wu Ke finds out that his reputation score is only one point, the two will definitely have a falling out.

Because the relationship between the anti-drug squad and the bounty hunters is very strained.

The anti-narcotics team deals with bounty hunters the most, especially in terms of intelligence acquisition. The criminal investigation team is always a step behind, since anti-narcotics work relies on intelligence from informants.

The informants' intelligence sources, apart from undercover agents, were almost entirely provided by bounty hunters.

Most of the bounty hunters who cooperate with the anti-drug squad have criminal records and are the kind of people who operate in a gray area.

Because only people like this can obtain the special intelligence they want.

Wu Ke had to deal with this group of shrewd people who prioritized profit every day, and naturally he was driven crazy by them.

Upon hearing the word "bounty hunter," he instinctively frowns; it has become an instinct ingrained in his DNA.

"I'm just here with him; I won't get involved in what happens next."

The messenger lowered his eyelids: "Leave the taking of statements to Jin Ping'an. If there's anything that needs further explanation, have him call me. May I leave now?"

Since there was still an arrest operation to be carried out, Wu Ke did not delve into the messenger's identity: "Then go ahead, swipe your citizen card, leave your contact information, and you can leave."

The messenger's expression remained unchanged, while Jin Ping'an beside him breathed a sigh of relief.

While he was relaxing, he also had some bad premonitions.

He traveled all the way from Nevada, but now he's giving up so decisively. Could it be that he's planning to act alone?
Jin Ping'an's mind was still in a daze, and in the few minutes he was thinking, he didn't notice that the messenger had quietly left.

By the time he realized what was happening, Wu Ke had already led him into the bomb-proof vehicle.

…………

To the residents of Pan'an Community, tonight is just an ordinary night.

The middle-aged and elderly people have already gone back to their rooms to sleep at this time, only the young people are still out walking around.

Wu Ke led his men to the vicinity of the residential area.

Although this way of describing it gives off a villainous vibe, that's the truth.

You could also say that Captain Wu led the anti-drug team members to conduct a tight surveillance operation around the residential area.

However, looking at Wu Ke's face, which was full of fat and looked fierce, and then looking at the anti-drug team members around him with their bald heads and buzz cuts, it was really hard to describe them in a serious way.

No matter how you look at it, they seem more like a group of ruthless bandits preparing for an armed robbery than members of the anti-drug squad about to carry out an arrest operation.

"Number 501, right? Are you sure?"

While checking the bullets in his pistol, Wu Ke repeatedly confirmed the house number with Jin Ping'an.

"Confirmed, it's the first building on the left as you enter the community." Jin Ping'an picked up the military binoculars from the car and began observing the balcony of apartment 501.

The curtains were drawn tightly, leaving no gaps, so he could only put down the binoculars dejectedly.

Wu Ke glared at Jin Ping'an: "If we go through all that trouble and find nothing, I'm sure to get a scolding, and you won't have it easy either!"

Jin Ping'an was displeased and muttered under his breath, "How can you turn your back on me like this? I helped you seize nearly ten kilograms of methamphetamine."

After checking the ammunition, Wu Ke tucked the pistol into his waistband and patted Jin Ping'an hard on the shoulder: "One thing at a time. Who knows if you're trying to get me to help you catch someone and are deliberately fabricating false information."

Jin Ping'an was first taken aback, then dissatisfied with Wu Ke's questioning, and finally seemed thoughtful.

Looking at his "I never knew it could be like this" expression, Wu Ke felt like he had shot himself in the foot.

If Wu Ke had ever worked in the criminal investigation team, he would understand that Jin Ping'an simply couldn't have come up with such a plan.

Wu Ke took a deep breath and decided to focus his attention on the matter at hand.

He picked up the walkie-talkie and issued orders to his men: "Men 103, drive around the perimeter and be ready to respond at any time. Men 102, take control of the security guards at the gatehouse and guard the stairs, elevators, and fire exits. Men 101, follow me and storm the building. As usual, split into two groups once inside. One group will subdue the suspect, and the other group will check the restrooms first."

Wu Ke's classic, old-fashioned, but never outdated strategy has almost completely blocked all escape routes, leaving them trapped like turtles in a jar.

When arresting criminals in residential buildings, police often allow criminals to escape because they are unfamiliar with the terrain.

For example, when arresting those service technicians, they and their clients would leave through a hidden door or climb through a window to the fire escape stairs on the outside of the building to the first floor.

While the police were still searching house by house for the technician, he had already made his escape. However, some of the fire escape stairs are a bit slippery in the rain, so be careful when going downstairs.

In addition, controlling the security guards in the gatehouse is of paramount importance to the operation.

Often, criminals manage to escape successfully thanks to the nails and security guards tipping them off.

Nails are not usually present.

After all, people who idle around all day and loiter near the neighborhood are too conspicuous. They only send a few people to guard the area when they are shipping or receiving goods.

In comparison, bribing the security guard is much more convenient.

Offering two packs of cigarettes, giving a few thousand yuan, and building a good relationship with the security guard are more effective than anything else.

Many security guards unknowingly became eyes and ears that criminals planted in the bushes.

There's also a reason why the bathroom is checked first when entering a place during a drug raid.

This is because they are worried that if the drug dealers hear the commotion outside, they might decide to flush all their drugs down the toilet. Arresting them is useless unless you catch them red-handed; at most, they'll be detained for a few days and then released.

Anyone in this line of work knows that the goods belong to others, but your life is your own. If you're caught red-handed with a large quantity, you'll be in serious trouble; if you're only with a small quantity, you'll still be in jail for a few years. It's never worth it.

Even if the boss blames them later, at worst they can just pack their things and leave after they get out of detention, and find a new boss.

No matter how powerful a leader is, he can only swagger around locally. Unless you really piss him off and he issues a bounty, who would bother searching for you all over the world once you leave the city?

Before getting off the bus, Wu Ke reminded him again: "You just stay in the bus and behave yourself, you hear me?"

Jin Pingan waved his hand to reassure him: "I know. Call me when you're done making the arrests, and I'll check if it matches the information I've gathered."

Wu Ke nodded, slammed the car door shut, and locked the car with a click.

Jin Ping'an, that kid, dared to investigate a kidnapping case all by himself without the help of the criminal police team, and even hired bounty hunters to catch drug dealers. How could he be so daring?

He didn't believe Jin Ping'an's words. Anyone who dared to go against various black and gray industries at such a young age was incredibly audacious.

Please, everyone, wait for a plot twist!
