Animal Detective

Chapter 441 Arrest
"Brother Quan."

Zhu Kun greeted them with a cautious smile.

The middle-aged man in front of me is Cai Xingquan.

He was under fifty, at the prime of his life, not very tall, only about 1.6 meters, but with flesh under his skin, making him look sturdy.

Cai Xingquan stepped forward and hugged Zhu Kun, smiling as he asked if the journey was smooth and if anyone was following him.

Zhu Kun shook his head: "No, Brother Quan, you know I'm always cautious in my actions."

Cai Xingquan nodded with a smile.

Zhu Kun had been with him for many years, and Cai Xingquan entrusted him with many tasks because he valued Zhu Kun's prudence.

In his view, this was the kind of personality that led to great things.

Zhu Kun unloaded his things from the car and said, "Brother Quan, on the way here, I noticed some broken tree branches on the road. Has someone been here?"

The road we came on was not a proper path; it was overgrown with weeds, saplings, and bushes, so dense that they covered the road entirely.

When he drove over, Zhu Kun noticed that there were signs of broken tree branches on the narrowest section of the road.

It looks like a car was passing by and forcibly pulled it off.

Mentioning this, Cai Xingquan looked speechless and said, "Don't mention it. If you walk out, there's a puddle, isn't there? A fisherman came here the day before yesterday, I don't know how he found this place."

In this desolate wilderness, even a small, broken puddle has attracted the angler.

“He was driving a car, and when he got to the railing, he got out and shouted in this direction, asking if anyone was there.”

"I was working when I heard someone shout. It scared me half to death. I was thinking that if I killed him, I wouldn't be able to dispose of the body."

"Luckily he didn't come in. If he had, it would have been really difficult."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Kun immediately became alert.

After thinking for a moment, Zhu Kun asked, "Brother Quan, could this be a policeman?"

I'm disguising myself as a fisherman to scout this area.

Cai Xingquan shook his head: "It shouldn't be. I secretly watched. I fished there all afternoon and didn't catch many fish. It couldn't be a policeman in disguise."

Zhu Kun nodded, still reminding Cai Xingquan to be careful.

The factory was raided by the police just last month.

Cai Xingquan remained calm and said, "I've already said it, it's darkest under the lamp. Right now, the police are celebrating their victory and have no idea that we'll be reopening."

"Anyway, once this batch of goods is finished, we'll take a break for two years and then come back to work on it."

Zhu Kun nodded and asked how much raw material was left.

"It'll be soon, at most another week. Then we'll leave. I've already contacted the buyer and will hand it over to Angdu."

Cai Xingquan rummaged through the house and found an exquisite cigar box, handed over one, and they smoked together.

"Angdu?"

Zhu Kun frowned: "Brother Quan, this guy is crazy, and isn't he in the planting business? Why would he want our goods?"

Cai Xingquan elegantly lit his cigar and said, "If there's money to be made, why would he turn down money? Besides, his hostility towards ice is just to ensure a market for his own goods; there's no conflict between the two."

Zhu Kun nodded and said no more.

The two chatted for a while longer before starting to load the finished products onto the car.

"Be careful."

Cai Xingquan gave a word of advice, then waved to see the person off.

Meanwhile, Erlong was quietly crouching in a tree not far away, watching everything through the camera.

"Erlong, keep up."

Shen Xin's instructions came from inside the helmet.

Without hesitation, Erlong flapped its wings and caught up with Zhu Kun.

At this moment, Shen Xin and his group had already turned around and left the path, returning to the county road.

Discovering the factory was one goal, but another was to continue tracking Zhu Kun to see if he would resell the finished products, and if so, where they would be sent.

"It's estimated to weigh about twenty kilograms," Wang Feng said excitedly.

A black handbag, it can hold quite a lot, it must be quite heavy.

Shen Xin said, "Captain Wang, can we move now?"

Once the factory location is confirmed, we can just go for it.

Wang Feng smiled and nodded, telling Shen Xin to keep an eye on things, then immediately took out his phone and contacted Chen Ruidong.

As soon as the call connected, before Wang Feng could speak, Chen Ruidong said, "You don't need to say anything, I've already seen it. You guys stick with Zhu Kun, I'll take care of things here."

After explaining, he couldn't help but add, "Tell Xiao Shen, it's amazing."

Given Zhu Kun's level of caution, it would be really difficult to track him down.

Especially after turning into the mountains, getting too close makes them easier to be spotted.

Even if they did catch up, they wouldn't be able to use a camera to capture the entire meeting process so clearly, like they have now.

Even drones can't approach so silently.

In Chen Ruidong's view, this was tantamount to installing a personal camera on Zhu Kun, recording all his criminal acts and turning them into irrefutable evidence.

Lu Chunze shared the same idea as him.

"Old Lu, this is incredible!" Li Jing exclaimed excitedly.

He felt like he had gained supernatural insight, making it incredibly useful for tracking drug dealers.

Lu Chunze nodded in deep agreement; he too had his eyes opened.

"Old Li, if we had this kind of method, investigating cases would be so much easier."

Take drug trafficking, for example.

Erlong could simply sit in a tree on the spot, unnoticed by anyone, and then film everything.

Moreover, Lu Chunze knew that the most difficult part of drug cases was not the arrest, but the preliminary investigation stage.

Those drug dealers are all as cunning as monkeys, suspicious and paranoid, especially if there are two dragons.

Investigating and gathering evidence, tracking and following—it shouldn't be too easy.

Li Jing nodded, pondered for a moment, and said, "Old Lu, do you think it's possible to... keep this person here?"

He gave him a wink.

The bird is exceptional, and the person is truly talented.

With Shen Xin's abilities, he's a chosen one, perfect for drug enforcement.

"I had this idea just now." Lu Chunze snorted and said, "The key is that the person is from Ningjiang. Even if you want him, he has to let you go."

You've already recognized his talent, how could others not? You have a need for drug control, but they don't.

Not to mention that Shen Xin is a criminal police officer, single-mindedly focused on solving cases.

Li Jingdao said, "I know, but it's worth a try. If he wants to come himself, and you put in some effort with the ministry to coordinate things, there's hope for it."

Lu Chunze remained noncommittal, saying, "We'll talk about it later. Let's get this under control first. This guy's got guts. He was just hit hard last month, and he still dares to come back."

A murderous glint flashed in his eyes. He immediately took out his phone and called the Dehong Municipal Public Security Bureau to inquire about the specific operational arrangements.

The director of the Dehong Municipal Public Security Bureau is Wan Xiaoyang.

"Old Lu, we've figured out this place inside and out. Don't worry, if he runs away, I'll lose my job as bureau chief."

Wan Xiaoyang was in his fifties, tall and robust, and spoke with a strong, clear voice. After a brief chat, he hung up the phone.

He contacted Lianjiang directly to coordinate the overall situation, mobilize special police and border guards, and formulate an action plan.

Now that it's been discovered, there's no reason to keep it overnight.

Now we just need Shen Xin to confirm the location where Zhu Kun is hiding the drugs, and then both sides will act together to make the arrest.

If Cai Xingquan is holed up in the mountains, then gather enough people to surround the entire mountain to ensure he can't escape.

Meanwhile, Shen Xin and his group continued to track Zhu Kun.

"As expected, he went to Hudian."

Pan Chenghai, who was driving, gave a soft hum.

He was just discussing with Wang Feng that the most likely place where Zhu Kun hid the drugs was Hu Dian.

You guessed it right.

Zhu Kun drove back to County Road 309 from Xiongjiashan, turned right, and headed towards Hudian along County Road 309.

The mountain road was winding and twisting. After driving for about twenty or thirty kilometers, we turned right when we were almost at Hudian Township. After driving for about two kilometers, we turned onto a small road.

The footage clearly shows a courtyard covering several acres at the foot of the mountain, surrounded by high walls.

There is an arched gate outside with several large characters written on it.

【Yijing High-End Bonsai Base】

The two dragons were seen from a high altitude, so they were clearly visible.

The main gate is on the west side. Once inside, it resembles a garden in Jiangnan, with a large number of bonsai trees, a stream and a pond dug in the middle, and a pavilion built on the side.

To the north is a gray-white three-story European-style building, along with some auxiliary buildings.

The iron gate was tightly closed. Zhu Kun arrived at the door, paused for a while, and then someone came out of the small building to open the door, probably after he made a phone call.

The two dragons looked around, flapped their wings, and landed on the pavilion.

Nobody cares about him at all.

Zhu Kun got out of the car with his bag, greeted everyone, and headed straight for the small building in the distance.

He walked through the middle, passing the pavilion, but didn't even glance at Erlong.

One person opened the door, and another person was waiting in front of the small building.

These are the only two people I saw.

A dozen minutes later, Zhu Kun came out of the building, but his handbag was gone.

"This is it."

Wang Feng pointed to the screen, then immediately took out his phone to call Chen Ruidong and report the situation.

The factory has been identified, the location where the finished products were hidden has been identified, it's time to take action.

Shen Xin turned his head and saw that Zhu Kun was driving, taking the same route as before.

This guy set off at 9:20, and after being in the city for 11 o'clock, he turned onto 309 and headed towards Xiongjiashan.

It is now 1:30 pm.

The battery in the Erlong Helmet is also running out.

Once the Highlander is out of sight, it disappears from view.

Shen Xin whistled into the sky, but it wasn't really necessary. Erlong remembered Pan Wenhai's car and had already flown over on his own.

He opened the car window, reached out his hand, and Erlong landed precisely on Shen Xin's hand.

"Let me kiss you."

When Wang Feng saw Erlong, his eyes crinkled with laughter, and he insisted on snatching her away and giving her two kisses.

"What?"

Erlong tilted his head to avoid it.

Pan Chenghai, who was in front, had the same expression. He reached out and touched Erlong's head, praising him as "really amazing."

He hadn't lost track of them for dozens of kilometers; he wouldn't have believed it if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes.

Shen Xin asked whether he should continue following.

The helmet battery is sealed and cannot be replaced directly, but with a spare helmet, the replacement is faster.

"No need, let's go straight to the factory."

Wang Feng smiled and shook his head, leaving someone to keep an eye on the area, and then called Pan Chenghai back to Xiongjiashan.

The arrest operation is about to begin.

It's far away in Lianjiang.

The anti-drug squad has assembled.

Chen Ruidong had also arrived with Simo's men.

This is Simo's case; he can't be absent.

Also present was a deputy director from the Dehong Municipal Bureau, who came to direct and coordinate.

Even Lu Chunze was alarmed. The reconnaissance phase had been so perfect, but a mistake at the last minute caused a problem. The Municipal Bureau couldn't afford to take the responsibility for that.

When the mainland anti-drug squad conducts operations, they carry pistols.

Dehong, on the other hand, was carrying an assault rifle.

Everyone should have a bulletproof vest.

These are just ordinary police officers; the special police are even more fully armed, carrying JH16 submachine guns with attachments and a 50-round capacity. In just a few seconds, they can unleash a bullet storm on drug dealers.

"set off!"

At the deputy director's command, the cars drove out of the police station in a grand procession.
