A hundred flavors of life

Chapter 1558 Good news, a meritorious service! Bad news. (Please subscribe!)
Many people, influenced by movies, TV dramas, and novels, have a stereotype about the police arresting drug traffickers, always feeling that it only counts if the suspect is caught red-handed at the scene of the transaction.

But in reality, this is a misconception.

The law does not stipulate that arrests must take place at the exact moment the transaction occurs. As long as the chain of evidence is complete, even if these gang leaders remain silent after being taken in, they can still be convicted.

As early as after breaking through Zhang Anru's defenses, along with a series of evidence such as recordings, videos, and ledgers collected by Hua Shier during his undercover work, the task force had already obtained enough material to convict these people.

Therefore, whether or not the transfer is completed does not affect the arrest and conviction.

Hua Shier had anticipated this, which is why he suddenly revealed his hand and declared the game over.

In his original plan, he would proudly declare "I am a police officer," clearly identifying himself, and the expressions on the faces of his sister-in-law Shen Jiawen and the other bosses present would be quite interesting.

These sinful people will surely tremble before the iron fist of justice.

Hua Shier never expected that these people wouldn't believe him at all.

Pei Yu's hands were tied, and his tone didn't even contain anger, only helplessness and annoyance:

"Boss Tianlong, stop messing around. Just tell us how much money you want. We'll admit defeat. Can't we just pay to save our lives?"

Old Guo also sighed and chimed in:

"Yeah, I'd believe anyone among us who's a cop, but you, Boss Tianlong, are the least likely. Which cop is more ruthless than us? That's a joke."

Hua Shier was speechless.
"No, are you looking down on me? Why can't I be a policeman? Can't you see I have a strong sense of justice?"

With a gun pointed at her head, Shen Jiawen showed no fear whatsoever; instead, she angrily began to curse:
"Yu Tianlong, you bastard! Are you trying to take this opportunity to kill me too, pocket all the money, and run away? I should have known better; none of you men are trustworthy. Old Fu is like that, and so are you."

As she spoke, tears welled up in her eyes; her emotions were so genuine and heartfelt.

"no."

Hua Shier wanted to explain further and clarify things with them: he really was a policeman, why wouldn't they believe him!
But just then, the sound of a motor starting up suddenly came from outside.

Immediately afterwards, a speedboat detached from the fishing boat and sped away into the distance.

Hua Shier was taken aback. He had supposedly gathered all the criminals here; could there still be some who had escaped?
His thought only lasted a moment before everyone looked out the window in the direction of the sound.

On the sea in the dead of night, only the shadow of the speedboat could be seen in the distance, but Hua Shier's extraordinary eyesight allowed him to recognize the person driving the speedboat at a glance. It was none other than Professor He, Shen Jiawen's chemistry teacher and the key figure in this floating factory.

The old man had been in the lab the whole time. He probably heard the gunshots from here, sensed something was wrong, and tried to escape in the chaos.

This man is no small fry. Hua Shier absolutely cannot let him get away.

He immediately turned his guns around and fired both at the same time. With two loud bangs, two bullets flew through the air.

Hua Shier was extremely confident in his marksmanship. The skills he had honed in the Brotherhood in his early years were already superb, allowing him to hit exactly where he pointed. In addition, with his current physical stability and senses far exceeding those of ordinary people, it would be difficult for him to miss.

He didn't want to harm Professor He, an important criminal suspect. The old man deserved to stand alive in court and receive the trial he was due.

So one of the two shots was aimed at the speedboat's motor, and the other was aimed at the hidden fuel tank next to the motor.

In this way, even if the first shot fails to damage the motor and the fuel tank leaks, the speedboat is destined not to go far.

Some people might ask: Wouldn't shooting a fuel tank cause it to explode?

Hua Shier can only laugh at this; it's definitely a misconception brought about by TV dramas.

Gasoline has a flash point of about 427 degrees Celsius. Ordinary bullets are made of metals such as lead and copper and are just high-speed flying metal blocks that do not have the function of starting fires.

The heat generated by the friction between the warhead and the air is far from enough to heat itself to its ignition point, and the spark generated when it penetrates the fuel tank is extremely weak and fleeting, with insufficient energy to continuously ignite the gasoline.

To detonate a fuel tank, you would need special ammunition such as tracer rounds or armor-piercing incendiary rounds, which can generate sustained high temperatures and open flames.

So—boom!

The speedboat exploded immediately after being hit.

The old man on the boat was engulfed in flames, let out several inhuman howls, and plunged headlong into the Pacific Ocean.

Okay, Hua Shier admits he made a tiny mistake.

He didn't expect that the speedboat's engine would start to ignite after being hit by a bullet, and then the fuel tank would leak fuel after being hit by a bullet, causing the fuel to explode when it came into contact with the open flame.

Less than a nautical mile from the fishing boat, Xu Pingqiu was leading the marine police at full speed to the scene.

He saw a burst of fire on the sea in the distance, his expression changed drastically, and he immediately ordered full speed ahead and immediate action, repeatedly emphasizing over the radio: "Make sure the safety of the undercover personnel is guaranteed."

On the fishing boat, everyone in the cabin fell silent. You still say you're a policeman?

Is this something a cop would do?

Just as everyone was stunned, Shen Jiawen's two henchmen—Dafei and Xiaofei—suddenly moved.

Seeing that Hua Shier's gun barrel had left Shen Jiawen, they thought they had found an opening, and their faces simultaneously revealed a ferocious expression.

Dafei suddenly produced two daggers and lunged forward.

One dagger slashed at Hua Shier's wrist, which was holding the gun, while the other stabbed straight into his chest.

At the same time, his younger brother Xiaofei, taking advantage of his older brother's cover, reached down to his lower back and drew his gun, intending to cooperate with his older brother to kill Hua Shier in one fell swoop.

How could Hua Shier let them succeed in their sneak attack?

With a powerful front kick, he arrived first despite being behind, landing a solid blow to Dafei's chest.

A sickening cracking sound of bones breaking filled the air. Da Fei's chest visibly caved in, and he flew backward, spitting out blood and pieces of internal organs, crashing directly into Xiao Fei behind him.

Xiao Fei didn't even have a chance to pull the trigger before his older brother knocked him to the ground, gun and all.

Hua Shier raised his hand and fired two shots, cleanly and decisively blowing the heads off the two brothers.

"You tomato, you even dare to assault a police officer."

Hua Shier spat. He had already revealed his identity and couldn't afford to use foul language that would tarnish it, but he was still really annoyed if he didn't curse a little, so he had to be more tactful and express himself in English.

The remaining people in the cabin looked at Professor He, who was engulfed in flames and screaming as he fell into the sea, and then at the pitiful state of the two non-resident brothers.

When they turned to look at Hua Shier again, their eyes were filled with fear, and no one dared to meet their gaze.

That's so brutal!

They already knew he was cruel, but they never expected him to be so ruthless that he was practically inhuman.

Hua Shier, of course, noticed these changes in their gazes, and said to Pei Yu and the others in an annoyed tone:
"What kind of looks are those? I'll say it again, I really am a police officer."

Pei Yu knelt down immediately, his eyes darting away, his tone exceptionally sincere:

"Boss Tianlong, as long as you don't kill me, you can do anything."

Old Guo followed suit, kneeling down and saying in a fawning tone:
"Yes, yes, yes, Boss Tianlong, you are the hat. I'll fight anyone who says otherwise."

After he finished trying to please her, he cautiously and with a forced smile discussed the matter:

"Well, considering the good relationship we brothers have had, how much of a fine do you think I deserve, and you won't kill me?"

The other leaders also chimed in, "We'll transfer the money overseas right now and pay the fine." Their thoughts were surprisingly aligned: Okay, okay, you just want to experience being a hat, right? Cosplay, huh? We can do that!

Shen Jiawen's big eyes filled with tears as she looked at Hua Shier with a pitiful expression.
"Tianlong, are you kidding me? Didn't you promise me you'd take the money and sail to Southeast Asia? Don't worry, I won't hold you back. Even though our teacher is dead, I can still reverse engineer the formula."

Hua Shier was utterly speechless. What is all this nonsense? I've already admitted I'm an undercover agent, so why doesn't anyone believe me?

Fortunately, at that moment, the sound of a loudspeaker pierced through the sea breeze and was clearly transmitted into the cabin:

"Listen up, you are surrounded! Lay down your weapons and surrender unconditionally!"

Hua Shier's lips curled into a smile. The person who could prove his identity had finally arrived.

Looking out the restaurant window, seven or eight beams of light appeared on the dark sea.

Those were searchlights from the water police boats, shining from all directions and illuminating the entire fishing boat as bright as day.

As the patrol boat hailed the vessel, several speedboats quickly approached the fishing boat from the side.

Xu Pingqiu was the first to step over the ship's railing, his agility far beyond his years. Behind him, members of the task force and special police officers filed up and quickly took control of the deck.

Soon, several SWAT team members rushed into the restaurant. Seeing the wounded and dead lying haphazardly on the ground, and Hua Shier holding a gun, they immediately pointed their weapons at them and shouted sharply:

"Put down your gun and put your hands behind your head!"

Hua Shier put the gun on the table and raised his hands: "We're on the same side, don't misunderstand."

Xu Pingqiu strode in, glanced at Hua Shier from head to toe, and seeing that he was unharmed, let out a long breath. He then turned to the special police and gave the order:
"This one's one of our own. Take control of everyone else."

Hua Shier grinned, lowered his hand, and beckoned:

"Hey Xu, you got here pretty fast. But even without you guys, I'd already got it. How about that, awesome, right?"

When the gang leaders were pinned down and handcuffed by the special police, their expressions finally turned into extreme shock and disbelief.

Pei Yu was being led past Hua Shier, and through gritted teeth, she managed to squeeze out a few words: "You...you're really a cop?"

Hua Shier patted him on the shoulder, a harmless smile on his face:
"Boss Pei, I've said it eight hundred times, why don't you believe me?"

Pei Yu's expression was worse than crying, and her voice cracked:

"No way! How the hell could you be a cop? What kind of cop are you?!"

When Shen Jiawen was led out, her eyes were fixed on Hua Shier.

There was sorrow, hatred, and something else in her eyes that she herself couldn't quite explain.

When she reached Hua Shier, she suddenly spat at him.

Hua Shier tilted his head and calmly dodged. The unlucky one was Xu Pingqiu standing behind him.

Old Xu was spat on right in the face, his face covered in spittle.

Hua Shier turned his head, looked at Shen Jiawen, and calmly repeated the sentence.

"I'm sorry, ma'am. I really am a police officer."

Then he greeted the SWAT officer who was holding Shen Jiawen down and said, "Add another charge of assaulting a police officer to her list!"

Shen Jiawen had already been taken outside the cabin door, but she turned around and cursed, "Bastard! I was blind to trust you!"

Hua Shier wasn't angry at her for scolding him; instead, he raised his voice, his tone carrying a hint of sincere comfort:
"Try to think positively. It's not the first time you've trusted the wrong person."

Shen Jiawen struggled violently outside, kicking Hua Shier and sending her high heels flying.

She screamed at the top of her lungs, "I'm reporting Yu Tianlong! He killed someone! He also forced me!"

Xu Pingqiu wiped the saliva off his face and turned to look at Hua Shier.

Hua Shier shrugged, looking completely at ease: "You know my name is Yu Zui. What does Yu Tianlong have to do with me?"

Xu Pingqiu would certainly not doubt his comrade just because of a dying man's false accusation.

Moreover, Hua Shiergan had reported every single thing he did to him in advance.

He patted Hua Shier on the shoulder: "Don't worry, it's alright."

Hua Shier suddenly remembered something and quickly gave a brief explanation of Professor He's fall into the sea.

Xu Pingqiu immediately sent people to retrieve the body. A few minutes later, a reply came through the walkie-talkie: the body had been pulled out, but it was no longer breathing.

Hua Shier led Xu Pingqiu into the adjacent laboratory, pointing to the bottles, jars, and experimental equipment:
"Shen Jiawen is a rich man."

He glanced around the lab and added:
“Shen Jiawen told me that there is complete surveillance on this ship. Have someone look carefully; the video recordings and experimental records should still be there.”

Xu Pingqiu nodded, turned around and called his subordinates, issuing several instructions in a crisp and efficient manner. The technical colleagues from the task force entered the scene and began to collect evidence from the fishing boat in a comprehensive manner.

Hua Shier came out of the laboratory, took out a cigarette, lit it, and went to the deck alone to get some fresh air.

Mouse, An Jialu, and other police academy classmates also boarded the ship with the task force to handle the peripheral work. When they saw Hua Shier, they all surrounded him.

"Yu'er, I'm so glad you're alright!"

Mouse was the first to rush up and punch him in the chest, his eyes slightly reddening.

Zhang Meng chuckled behind him, still with that carefree attitude.

Wang Shenxiu looked him up and down, and a rare smile of relief appeared on his face.

Luo Jialong gave a thumbs up, his eyes brimming with admiration: "Yu'er, you're awesome!"

Hua Shier ignored the group and pulled An Jialu into his arms, then leaned down and sniffed her hair.

The faint, clean scent of shampoo wafted into his nostrils, and he said softly:
"I miss you."

An Jialu pressed herself against his chest, her eyes reddening. She reached out and wrapped her arms around his waist, whispering, "I missed you too."

He paused, then his tone suddenly changed, becoming more vehement, "But you'll have to explain to me properly what Shen Jiawen said later."

Hua Twelve: "."

After returning to Guangzhou, the task force went into full swing.

Faced with overwhelming evidence, Shen Jiawen, Pei Yu, and others' psychological defenses crumbled layer by layer, and they confessed to their crimes within a few days.

The higher-level leaders sent a special instruction, giving high praise.

As is customary, all members of the task force, including police academy graduates who participated in the operation as trainees, will be awarded for their meritorious service.

Everything is progressing in the most perfect direction.

Only one person went wrong, because he was reported by all the arrested bosses!
