World War I

"Turgenev, stop sleeping all the time. There are robbers. This is your fucking profession!"

The door opened a second after Luo Ye finished speaking.

“Where are the robbers?!”

"Let's go, quickly!"

The two got into the police car.

"Just the two of us?"

"Everyone else is busy, and you are the only one who has free time."

"I just saw Fyodor. He's the most idle person in the police station."

"He has more important things to do, don't ask."

Luo Ye stepped on the accelerator, but it was still slow. The police car accelerated too slowly.

"Fuck this car!"

"You can actually speak Chinese?!"

"Do you understand Chinese?"

"I understand swearing."

The police car drove onto the street, honking its sirens and driving recklessly. The traffic police saw it and cursed: "Crazy!"

After getting on Provincial Highway 77, the police car arrived in front of the hijacked vehicle.

This is a car of unknown brand. The owner runs a jewelry store in the town. He just came back from the county to purchase goods. There are a batch of jewelry and jade in the car, which is his entire fortune.

A pickup truck caught up with them, forced the owner to stop at gunpoint, and stole all the goods in the car, which were worth tens of millions of rubles. The owner threatened to jump off the building if the goods were not recovered. One of his female employees was trembling with fear.

The car owner knelt down in front of the two policemen and said, "Officers, you must catch them. You must! Please! I beg you!"

Luo Ye helped him up: "Mr. Fude, we will do our best!"

"Are you from the town police department?"

Luo Ye: "Do you know me?"

"I don't know him, but—"

There was no hope in his face.

When Sheriff Taki was in office, the rate of solving such robberies was zero. If the county police station had responded, there would have been some chance, but if the police from the town police station had responded, it would have been the same as not responding at all, which was really infuriating.

Luo Ye understood what he meant.

"Don't panic, I'll give you some confidence! Do you know who this is?"

"Who?"

The car owner found that the policeman's uniform was not very common and the color was different.

"This is Captain Turgenev from the St. Petersburg Hellfire Special Police Brigade! He's solved countless cases in his lifetime, and he's seen every major case!"

The car owner knelt down again, kneeling towards Turgenev, and ignored Luo Ye.

Oh shit!

Turgenev: "The direction the robbers fled!"

"Towards the county town."

The two men jumped into the police car, and the police car whirred and chased towards the county town.

"Luo Ye, how can you praise someone like that? I'm a special police officer, not a criminal police officer!"

"You have to give people hope, right? It's up to you. You're a colonel, and I'm a lieutenant. If you can't find the robbers, you're the one who's to blame, not me. Pay attention!"

Turgenev really wanted to punch Luo Ye.

"Don't do it, I'm driving!"

"You bastard, there's no license plate, the other party has his face covered, and it's been more than an hour since the robbery. Where are we going to find the robber?"

"Then I don't care. You are the colonel and I am the lieutenant. You are the leader and I am a soldier."

"You're the sheriff! I'm a police officer now!"

"Yes, I'm the sheriff. Can't I change my status? If you're not on duty and you're always sleeping, then you're the leader. You're the big boss."

"Asshole, I've already helped you twice, twice. What else do you want? Only a little asshole like you can command me. You know, our SWAT team only accepts dispatches from departments like the Ministry of National Defense and the Commission! Do you understand?"

"Yes, I understand, I understand, I understand very well, so you have to continue to help me, seriously. If you can't find the robber, I will report to Mr. Andre. If you can't find the robber, I don't know how you became the captain of the Hellfire Special Police Team. Is it great to be able to kick the door? Is it great to be able to fight? Only those who can solve the case are real experts, understand!" Turgenev turned his head and looked at him.

"Don't look at me like that. This is what a real good police officer is like. He needs to be well-rounded. You're just a brainless guy!"

"Why am I so brainless?"

"Your SWAT team was almost wiped out, yet you still wanted to go to the base and take me with you. With so few of us, how do you think that's any different from sending us to our deaths?"

"You're freaking going to regret it!"

Turgenev looked like he was going to explode.

Luo Ye laughed immediately and said, "You can't stand being provoked. I will report you to Mr. Andre. Just wait. I said you are impulsive, muscular but simple-minded. You have another crime. Just wait."

Turgenev was so angry that he laughed.

"Okay, okay, okay, you're the boss, you have the final say. If you can find it, I won't sleep in the police station."

"That's what you said."

"The robbers didn't leave any clues. Let's see how you chase them. You're chasing after nothing!"

"Stop talking nonsense. After you catch up, you cover for me. Is that fair?"

Turgenev took out his pistol.

"Luo Ye, you are the first person in Russia who dares to play tricks on me."

"You are the first person who dares to point a gun at me."

"I'm not good at joking. If I can't catch up, the consequences—you know."

Turgenev suddenly changed his expression, and his face became so gloomy that a few drops of ice water could drip out of it.

Luo Ye wanted to give him face, but he felt unhappy when he thought about this guy sleeping in the dormitory all day.

"Don't talk about the consequences. If you can't catch me, you can name your price. You can even blow my head off. But I have to be clear. If I do catch him, you will have to clock in on time starting tomorrow. You're new to the Kursk Town Police Department."

"A word is settled!"

When they were about to reach the county town, Luo Ye called Director Knuckles.

"Mr. Director—"

"You have nothing to do, kid? You keep harassing me! What do you want from me again?"

"Help me find out where there's a car repair shop called Guaranteed to Satisfy You."

"What do you want this address for? I just learned that you were investigating a robbery and the police car broke down?"

"Yes, it broke down. We're almost to the county town. I heard there's a guaranteed auto repair shop nearby. We have to get the car fixed. Otherwise, how can we investigate?"

"You little brat! Wait."

After a while, Director Knuckles replied: "It's near the substation, one kilometer east, you will see it."

After hanging up the phone, Turgenev asked curiously, "Is there anything wrong with the car?"

"Be prepared to arrest someone, if you run away, you will not be qualified to be the captain of the SWAT team."

Turgenev saw that what Luo Ye said was more real than true, so he had to take it seriously.

In fact, Luo Ye was also unsure. At the crime scene, he prayed to Brother Ying for some help, like the legendary artifact that could restore the crime scene.

Seeing the victim in such agony, Luo Ye really wanted to help him, but he had no clues as to how to help.

Besides, the surveillance equipment and detection conditions of this era cannot be compared with those of 2024. There are no witnesses, no license plate number, no face of the robber, only his body shape and so on, which is equivalent to saying nothing.

Even if the robbers can be found, it will take a lot of police manpower and time.

It all depends on luck, whether anyone notices any suspicious vehicles, etc.

But the robbers must have been well prepared to do this, knowing the time and route of the victim's return to town.

This is most likely the crime committed by an acquaintance or someone who knows the victim well, but other accidental factors cannot be ruled out.

Moreover, there are many roving criminals in this area who rob things and then run away to other places.

The ideal outcome is to catch the robber in the shortest possible time.

The damn system actually replied, without giving him any pictures, and left a cold message: I guarantee you will be satisfied with the repair shop, near the county town, 56 kilometers away in a straight line. Because your level is not high enough, you can't turn on the navigation, good luck.
