Chapter 129 The oriole is behind
Jin Zhihai saw his good brother's concerns. After sending Ermao away, he took Li Yancheng back and explained.

"There's no other solution but to lure him over here. We can't just send people to wait at Ermao's house, right?

The enemy is in the dark while we are in the light. If the people we send over are discovered by that guy, it is very likely that Ermao's wife and children will suffer a lot. Ermao is not a good guy, but his wife and children are innocent. "

"I know." Li Yancheng nodded: "But what about the other people in our yard? We don't even know if that guy has a gun or not. What if he hurts other people?
Zhihai, don't forget that Lihua is almost eight months old now. If she gets frightened..."

Jin Zhihai thought for a while before saying, "How about this, Dacheng, tell everyone about this when you get back, and let them be careful. If they hear any disturbance, don't come out of the house and try to hide under the bed. This should be safer.

As for my wife...I will send her and Ningning to her parents' home when we get back later and let her stay there for a week. I will ask for leave for her at work tomorrow."

Li Yancheng didn't know what to say. Doing this would help him solve the problem.

He thought for a moment before hesitatingly saying, "Zhi Hai, do you want me to go back and tell the office to send some people over?"

"For what reason? How long will he stay? What if that guy doesn't come for three or five days? Can the people in your department stay here all the time? Won't others have objections?"

"Then I'll call the police."

"You have already called the police, right? I am the police, Dacheng. You have to understand one thing clearly. No matter it is the police station or the East City Branch, they cannot send people to guard you for a long time.

I'm going to say something that may make you uncomfortable, that is, you are not important enough for our bureau or your unit to send someone to provide you with long-term personal protection."

This is the truth, and Li Yancheng himself understands it.

The most important problem now is that the enemy is in the dark and I am in the light. The initiative is in their hands, and no one knows when they will come.

Neither of them spoke any more and they just walked back in silence.

They still took the same route they came. Although the main road was easier to walk on, it still took them several hundred meters longer. The alleys were lively and they could chat with neighbors from time to time, but it actually took longer than taking the main road.

"Uncle Dacheng..."

Just after talking to a few acquaintances and preparing to leave, Li Yancheng's clothes were pulled.

"Little monkey, what's wrong? Still want to eat popsicles?"

Turning around, he saw that it was the boy who had just tipped him off. Li Yancheng thought that he wanted to eat popsicles again, so he smiled and reached into his pocket to take out money.

"No, no, we've all had popsicles just now, thank you Uncle Dacheng." The little monkey shook his head hurriedly to show that he didn't want to ask for popsicles again.

"What's the matter?"

"Uncle Dacheng, someone was outside asking about your home just now. It's not here, but at the intersection further east along the main road.

It was a man, wearing a hat with a very long brim, and the same clothes my brothers wore when they attended sports meets at school, a blue sports suit.

!!!

The little monkey’s words made Li Yancheng and Jin Zhihai’s eyes widen instantly.

Boy, what is this?
So when they caught Ermao just now, it is very likely that the guy was nearby and might even have seen him.

Seeing that Li Yancheng didn't say anything, the little monkey felt a little strange and pulled the hem of his shirt again.

"Uncle Dacheng..."

"what?"

The little monkey's cry woke Li Yancheng and Jin Zhihai from their shock.

He raised his hand and rubbed the little monkey's slightly greasy hair, and without saying a word, he took out a fifty-cent bill from his pocket and stuffed it into the child's hand.

"Take it and don't spend it carelessly. If you want to eat popsicles, buy them tomorrow."

"Thank you, Uncle Dacheng." Looking at the fifty cents in his hand, the little monkey's voice began to tremble.

He is already ten years old this year, and in his entire life, he has never had the freedom to dispose of even five cents. Today he got a ten-cent note, and before he had spent it all, he got another fifty-cent note. Wow, this is great.

"Go and have fun."

"Uncle Dacheng, would you like me to take you there?"

"No need, I know where it is. Just go and have fun. Don't sneak over there by yourself."

"I know. Goodbye Uncle Dacheng, goodbye Uncle Dahai."

This guy calls Jin Zhihai uncle, but calls Ningning sister. I don’t know how the seniority is determined.

"Dacheng, go back and watch over the people in the yard. I'll go over here to look for that person."

As soon as the little monkey ran away, Jin Zhihai started to make arrangements.

"No," Li Yancheng unexpectedly rejected his proposal directly and said quickly.

"It's just a little after eight o'clock now. Those people in our yard must be sitting outside. There are so many people, even if that person reaches our door now, he won't dare to do anything.

What I mean is, just like what we did just now, if we go from this side to the other side, one after the other, he may not be able to find me here."

Unlike Jin Zhihai who is known by everyone nearby, not many people here know Li Yancheng. Although he grew up in this area, he served in the army first and was assigned to work in the First Hospital which is quite far away from here after returning. He has a somewhat eccentric personality.

As long as they are not the neighbors in their alley, few people know his name. But if it is Dacheng, then more people may know him, after all, he has grown up here since he was a child.

After hearing what he said, Jin Zhihai didn't say anything against it. He just walked quickly towards the direction the little monkey said. Time was urgent and he had to find him before that guy found the place.

……

More than half an hour later, the two finally found the man near the toilet at the east entrance of their alley.

If no one had pointed it out to them, they might have missed it.

This guy had changed his clothes and taken off his hat, and was wearing a red hurdle vest that was a little faded.

He had a military green bag slung over his shoulder, which was bulging with stuff, probably because of the clothes and hat he had dragged away. He was currently squatting on the side of the road at the entrance of the alley, smoking.

His eyes kept scanning the people coming in and out of the alley.

Li Yancheng and Jin Zhihai just chased him all the way here, but they lost him when they reached the entrance of the alley in the north.

After asking several people nearby, one of them said that he saw the man take off his outer sportswear and squatting there in a red hurdle vest.

If this person had not happened to see him taking off his clothes, they would not have been recognized even if they walked past each other. But if that person could recognize Li Yancheng, then it would become that the enemy was in the dark and I was in the light.

Across the street, the two looked behind a tree for a long time before Li Yancheng shook his head and said, "I'm sure I don't know this guy, but how come he has that photo?"

"We'll ask him slowly after we catch him." It was already dark, and it was hard to see clearly from across the street. Jin Zhihai was too lazy to look carefully and just said directly.

"I see, Dacheng, let's not waste time talking to him. This guy probably doesn't know me. I'll go over first and pretend to ask him for a light, then I'll take it directly. We'll decide whether to roll it into a round shape or a flat shape later."

"Wait a minute." Li Yancheng quickly reached out and grabbed his good brother who was ready to do it.

"what happened?"

“What if we catch the wrong person?”

"Give him an apology. What else can I do? I just asked him to assist in the investigation. I didn't intend to hit him. If he really made a mistake, I will apologize to him sincerely."

Li Yancheng opened his mouth but didn't know what to say, so he could only nod and agree with Jin Zhihai's method.

This was the first time he had encountered such a thing in his two lifetimes. He had no experience in dealing with it at all, so he could only do as his brother said.

……

Facts proved that Jin Zhihai's martial arts training for more than 20 years was not in vain. After he approached the man under the pretext of borrowing a light, he handcuffed the man behind his back in just a few seconds.

Onlookers are inevitable. It's a time when everyone is free and has nothing to do. As soon as there is any disturbance, people will surround it tightly in three layers.

Unlike when he caught Ermao just now, this was Jin Zhihai's real home ground. When several young men of similar age saw him catch someone, they rushed over and wanted to help beat him without asking why.

Jin Zhihai was so scared that he hurriedly stopped them. If he caught the right person and was beaten by the crowd, he could still have a reason to explain it afterwards. But if he caught the wrong person and was beaten by the crowd, he would really be in trouble.

The guy who was caught was also a little dumbfounded. What does it mean to die before accomplishing the mission? This is it, right?
The key point is, he kept shouting that he was innocent, but why didn't anyone among the onlookers help him?
He felt that he hadn't done anything all day, so why did the police come?

It was not until Li Yancheng walked through the crowd and appeared in front of him that the words in his voice suddenly stopped, and his face instantly became extremely ugly.

As soon as he saw his expression, Jin Zhihai's originally hanging heart immediately returned to its original place, and he raised his hand and patted the man's face.

"Boy, you are so cunning. Your evil thoughts are written all over your face."

After saying this, Jin Zhihai raised his chin and gestured to the shoulder bag that fell on the ground.

"Dacheng, look at what's in your bag."

Li Yancheng bent down to pick up the bag, opened it, and poured out the contents.

A shiny dagger fell to the ground, along with a shirt, a hat, and half a photo. Li Yancheng picked up the photo and confirmed that it was the other half of the one in Ermao's hand. The photo was of Chen Yunwei wearing a gray lapel jacket.

After seeing this half photo, Li Yancheng looked up at the guy who was now silent, then put all the things on the ground back into the bag, and then straightened up.

"Zhi Hai, bring him directly to us."

He felt that the man in front of him was far more than as simple as he appeared.

Although it was still unclear where he got the photo from, he vaguely felt that this matter seemed to have some connection with the Chen family.

The Chen family? Chen Guangyao?

No way? !

It would be best to take the people to the three places where the signs are posted. Hearing Li Yancheng say this, Jin Zhihai nodded, turned to look at the crowd, and randomly found an acquaintance and asked him to help tell his family that he would be back later.

Then the two men escorted the man, who had lowered his head and remained silent, and prepared to walk out of the crowd. Before they left, a noise came from outside the crowd.

The crowd of onlookers automatically parted, and several people from the Meishan Police Station Security Team walked in.

They were responsible for patrolling here at night. When they saw a large group of people gathered here and someone saying that the police were arresting someone, they hurried over to take a look.

When he saw that the person being arrested was Jin Zhihai, the deputy captain was slightly stunned. He stepped forward to say hello, asked the reason, then waved his hand and asked the team members to help send the neighbors home. He then continued to walk forward for a while.

"Zhi Hai, where are you going to take them?"

"You know there's a three-story place over in Ya'er Hutong, right?"

"I know, but..." The deputy captain looked at Li Yancheng and then at the guy with his head down, then walked over to Jin Zhihai and said in a low voice, "Zhihai, the people you arrested here are going to be taken to the west district. Isn't that a bit weird?"

Yaer Hutong belongs to the jurisdiction of Shichahai Street in the west city district. It is indeed across districts from here, and the gap is quite large. The deputy captain of the security team here will certainly have concerns.

Jin Zhihai gestured towards Li Yancheng.

"Old Liu, you may not know this yet, but Yan Cheng is currently working in the Third Division, and he has a very important case on hand. This person is following him, most likely for that case.

If it is really related to that kind of case, would we dare to take him in?"

!!!

The deputy captain named Liu was shocked.

When did Li Yancheng get transferred to that damn unit? How come they haven't heard anything about it?

This is because the time is too short and the news has not yet spread. Not many people know about it. If we wait a few more days, the news that Li Yancheng has also started working at the Public Security Bureau will surely spread like wildfire in the jurisdiction.

"Dacheng, do you have your work permit with you?"

"I'm taking it with me."

"Let Captain Liu take a look so he can report back to the institute."

"No problem, Captain Liu. Sorry to trouble you."

"No, no, no, Yan Cheng, you are being too polite. It's our fault that we didn't do our job well. We didn't even notice this guy roaming around in our area."

Captain Liu did not take the work permit that Li Yancheng handed over. He just glanced at it and pushed it back.

The mere change of workplace can invisibly raise a person's status.

If he was still working at the First Hospital, Captain Liu would definitely not be so polite when speaking to Li Yancheng.

After figuring out the situation, Captain Liu stopped following. He said goodbye to Li Yancheng and Jin Zhihai, then turned around and walked towards the team members.

……

More than 20 minutes later, at the three gates, Li Yancheng handed the person over to the action team officer on duty in the duty room, and asked him to take the person to the back and lock him up. Then he called Su Xiaotong in the duty room to tell him about the situation, and started chatting with Jin Zhihai at the gate.

On the way here just now, the two of them took turns asking that person a few questions, but they were met with silence and then they stopped talking. Now that they were the only two left, they started talking about this matter.

"Dacheng, what do you think?"

"I have no idea at all. I just can't figure it out."

Li Yancheng was indeed a little confused. He couldn't figure out why this person was following him and looking for his home, and there was also that photo.

"Could it be related to what happened last night?"

"What happened last night?" Li Yancheng was stunned: "Oh, you mean I was called away in the middle of the night. It's hard to say, but...ah...I really can't figure it out."

He didn't tell anyone else why he was called away last night.

"Zhi Hai, please go back first. I'm worried..."

"Are you afraid there will be someone else?"

"Well, this guy asked Ermao to follow me, but he actually came too. Who knows if there will be other people."

Jin Zhihai glanced at the watch on his wrist. It was already past nine o'clock. He knew that Li Yancheng would not have any more problems, so he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go back first. If you go back at night, it's best to take the main road and not go through the alleys. No one will check if there are any strangers entering in the middle of the night.

There are so many twists and turns in there, who knows if there will be someone hiding in a corner waiting to knock you out."

"Okay, I'll remember what you said."

"Well, if you're walking alone at night, keep your gun ready. It's a life-saving device, not a toy. Use it when necessary."

Jin Zhihai patted Li Yancheng's arm, gave him another warning with concern, then waved and turned to walk east.

Watching his good brother's figure gradually disappear into the night, Li Yancheng took out a cigarette from his pocket, only to find that the pack of cigarettes in his pocket was gone. He exerted force in his hand, crumpled the cigarette box into a ball, turned around and threw it into the trash can beside the gate.

Then he reached into his pocket again, and when he came out, there was an unopened pack of Daqianmen cigarettes.

When he first came here, he was not used to smoking cigarettes without filters. Every time he smoked, he either had a mouthful of tobacco or his mouth was burned after smoking. Half a year has passed, and now he is used to it. That day, he smoked a cigarette with a filter that Su Xiaotong gave him, but he found it tasteless.

He opened the package, took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth. After lighting it, he squinted his eyes in the rising smoke.

Photo, Chen family.

Does this matter have anything to do with the Chen family?

If it is confirmed that this matter is related to the Chen family, then...

Even if they ran to Hong Kong Island, he would chase them and throw the Chen family members into the sea one by one to be used as fish food.

In the hazy smoke, Li Yancheng's seemingly unfocused eyes gradually became more and more determined, and even a few hints of murderous light emerged.

……

Su Xiaotong came over quickly after receiving the call.

Seeing Li Yancheng standing at the gate, the jeep that was driving over braked and stopped beside him.

"Yancheng, what's going on? Why is someone following you?"

Su Xiaotong didn't get out of the car, but leaned out of the window and asked with a puzzled look on his face.

"I don't know the specifics. I arrested the man and brought him here. I asked him a few questions on the way, but he didn't say anything, so I didn't ask any more questions."

"Is the person behind now?"

"Well, I asked the attendant to take him to the back and lock him up first."

"Get in the car and come with me to the meeting."

"it is good"

……

In the interrogation room in the backyard, the captured man had been fixed on a special chair. After entering, Li Yancheng saw the handcuffs on the table, reached out to pick them up and fastened them around his lower back.

These are Jin Zhihai’s handcuffs. I forgot to change them when they were brought in just now.

When Su Xiaotong came in and saw the person tied to the chair, he was visibly stunned for a moment. He didn't say anything, but walked directly to the person, grabbed his chin, lifted his head and took a closer look.

His action made Li Yancheng a little curious. Could it be that they knew each other?

"What is your relationship with Chen Guangyao?"
