You're supposed to be a security officer, what case are you solving?

Chapter 88 Capture!

"...In addition to being robbed by five criminals who stole a large amount of valuables from the passengers, the criminals also killed two innocent passengers."

According to information obtained by our reporter from the An'nan City Public Security Bureau, the city's Criminal Investigation Detachment has intensified its investigation into the whereabouts of this group of criminals and hopes that the public will actively provide clues..."

Before the news anchor on the TV screen could finish speaking, Ma Dong walked up and slammed the TV off.

Ma Dong's wife, Yin Qiuju, sat on a straw mat, holding her one-year-old child in her arms, fanning the sleeping child with a palm-leaf fan.

Yin Qiuju complained, "Hey, I haven't finished watching it yet, and CCTV is going to broadcast Romance of the Three Kingdoms in a little while."

It was too hot. A family of four lived in a cramped 20-square-meter apartment, with beds placed in the living room.

Ma Dong, shirtless, turned around.

"The child is asleep, don't wake him up, I'm going to check on Mom."

Ma Dong walked into the inner room, which was filled with the pungent smell of Chinese medicine.

His elderly mother leaned against the headboard, fanning herself with a palm-leaf fan.

Seeing her son come in, she smiled and said, "Dongzi, Mom is fine, you can go to sleep."

"Mom, did you take your medicine today?"

The mother sighed, "You drank it. It was Qiuju who brewed the medicine. Don't waste your money. Our family depends on you for food. You should find a proper job."

Ma Dong nodded: "Mom, I've been thinking about starting a small business with Huang Ming these past few days."

"Doing business is good!" the mother said with relief. "Things are different now than before. Our tractor factory has no way to make a living, so we can only rely on ourselves."

"Mom, I know. You should get some rest. I'll go talk to Huang Ming first thing tomorrow morning."

Just as Ma Dong was about to close the door for his mother, there was a knock on the door.

"Bang, bang!"

"Who is it?" Yin Qiuju called out from the living room.

A familiar voice came from outside the door: "Sister-in-law, it's me, Huang Ming. Is Brother Dong home?"

Yin Qiuju looked at her husband and said, "I'm looking for you. If you want to drink, there's a plate of fried peanuts in the kitchen."

Ma Dong nodded: "Take the child to the inner room, Xiao Huang and I need to talk about something."

Yin Qiuju nodded and got out of bed with the child in her arms.

She was dressed very lightly, wearing only a sleeveless white T-shirt by Ma Dong, with nothing underneath, so that she could easily breastfeed her child in the middle of the night.

"Dong-ge, are you home?"

"coming."

Ma Dong walked behind the door and saw his wife go inside and close the door.

Then he pulled the latch and opened the door.

Huang Ming's face appeared outside the door, his smile stiff, his hands clasped together, looking very uneasy.

"Xiao Huang, you..."

Before Ma Dong could finish speaking, two dark figures rushed in and quickly tackled him to the ground.

He tried to struggle, but he was held down firmly and could not move his hands or feet.

He struggled to lift his head and saw a group of people rushing into the inner room.

"Let me go! Don't go into that room! Don't wake my son!"

But no one listened to him. Ma Dong watched in despair as his wife's screams, his mother's roars, and his child's cries erupted from the house.

Immediately afterwards, the door closed, and the crying was blocked inside.

The door to the stairwell was immediately closed.

Ma Dong was lifted up by a middle-aged man in his forties, who was holding a gun and staring intently at him.

"Are you named Ma Dong?"

Ma Dong's eyes darted around, he pursed his lips, and remained silent.

He Jinbo sneered, "What? You dare to do it but not admit it? Where were you from the night of July 4th to the daytime of July 5th?" "You...who exactly are you?"

"I forgot to introduce you." He Jindong took out his ID from his pocket and showed it to him.

"We are from the Criminal Investigation Brigade of the Chengbei Branch of An'nan City! Now you should understand why we've come looking for you."

Upon hearing this, Ma Dong's pupils contracted, and he involuntarily swallowed.

His hands were twisted behind his back and held by Zheng Kang and Yang Jinwen.

Ma Dong looked up and saw that the small room was full of plainclothes officers, each of them carrying a gun.

Faint, intermittent cries came from the inner room—the cries of a wife, a mother, and a child.

Frustrated, Ma Dong couldn't help but ask, "How did you manage to find me?"

He Jinbo glared at him: "Have you ever heard the saying, 'The net of heaven is vast, its meshes are wide, yet nothing escapes it'? Now tell me, where are the other four people?"

Ma Dong shook his head: "I don't know what you're talking about."

He Jinbo sneered: "You've got guts! Ma Dong, think it through. You not only robbed, you also killed someone. You're dead."

You don't care about yourself; you need to think about your wife, children, and your elderly mother. How are they going to live in the future?

"you……"

“If you tell the truth, we will definitely treat your family members well; otherwise, you should know how serious the consequences will be.”

Upon hearing this, Ma Dong's entire demeanor immediately deflated, and he lowered his head, saying, "I admit it."

A cold glint flashed in He Jinbo's eyes: "Fine, answer me, what are the names of the other four people?"

"Sha Lei, Bai Jianfeng, Li Tianquan, Yong Wancai."

"Who's in charge?"

"Li Tianquan and Yong Wancai."

Where are these four people now?

"Sha Lei and Bai Jianfeng work at the Lijing Dance Hall. They are waiters there, but in reality, they are thugs for the dance hall."

I don't know where Li Tianquan and Yong Wancai are. On the afternoon of the 5th, after dividing the money, they said they would no longer contact each other.

He Jinbo took the sketch that Maozi handed him: "Take a look and see what this person's name is."

Looking at the portrait, Ma Dong was surprised that the police had drawn up their portraits so quickly.

He replied, "His name is Sha Lei."

Are Sha Lei and Bai Jianfeng at the Lijing Dance Hall right now?

"Should be there."

He Jinbo glanced at Jiang Jianbing and Xu Guoliang, who had led their men to search the house thoroughly but found nothing.

He Jinbo asked, "Where did you hide your gun and the stolen goods?"

Ma Dong shook his head: "I don't have a gun, I only have a knife. I gave the knife to Li Tianquan, and he took it and disposed of it."

I didn't take any gold or silver jewelry. Li Tianquan and the others said not to exchange these things for cash in Dayan City, as it would be easy for the police to find out.

"Do Sha Lei and Bai Jianfeng have guns?"

“Sha Lei had a sawed-off double-barreled shotgun, which he handed over to Li Tianquan for safekeeping when the money was divided. As for whether he and Bai Jianfeng had any private dealings with it, I don’t know.”

What does Bai Jianfeng look like?

“He’s easy to recognize; he’s bald and always wears a big gold chain around his neck.”

After a moment of contemplation, He Jinbo pointed at Ma Dong's nose and asked, "Are you telling the truth?"

“Every word is true.” Ma Dong raised his head and pleaded, “Officer, after I go in, could you please treat my mother well?”

Zheng Kang sneered, recalling his past pleasures at the workers' guesthouse.

"Think more about your wife and children; they've had the worst luck to be with you!"
