Chapter 547 -549: Sophistry

“There’s some here!”

“Under the bed, too!”

“And hidden in the box!”

Officers reported one after another, and soon, all the illegal firearms were gathered together.

“Not bad at all, a big haul!”

“Yeah, so many illegal guns, how long are they going to lock them up for?”

A few officers laughed. Today’s catch was significant, which naturally made them very happy. Surely the police headquarters would commend them tomorrow for cracking such a large arms smuggling case. The headquarters’ people would definitely come down to investigate. By then, they would be the ones credited with the achievement.

At this thought, they all felt cheerful.

However, Lao Youtiao couldn’t quite share in the joy, “Captain Zhang, this case…”

“It’s tough!” Captain Zhang frowned.

“Yes,” Lao Youtiao took a deep breath and then said, “It’s tough indeed. With so many firearms, there’s definitely more than just these two individuals behind it.”

“Drawing the rest of them out is not going to be easy,” Captain Zhang nodded in agreement.

The group stood around in the hotel room. Captain Zhang immediately notified other officers from the police station to come for support. With so many weapons, a weapons expert was needed to identify and examine the firearms. After identification, these items all had to be preserved as evidence.

Soon, the entire police station was stirred up. Many people got out of bed and hurried to the hotel.

In the middle of the night, a crowd filled the entrance of the hotel; they gathered there and the hotel entrance was sealed off. No one inside was allowed out, and no one outside was allowed in. Police lights flickered at the doorway. The hotel owner also rushed to the scene in a hurry, hoping to clarify the situation.

“What… what’s going on here?” the owner asked anxiously. Seeing so many police officers at his hotel, the manager had called to inform him, and he could only hurry over to check on the situation. Seeing so many police officers at the door, he was immediately bewildered. Could it be that some serious crime had happened inside? If that was the case, his hotel might be doomed, and business would be challenging from here on.

“It’s nothing to worry about,” Captain Zhang smiled, “We are here to investigate because there are firearms smugglers staying here.”

“Ah, is that so?” As soon as the owner heard this, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, as long as there was no loss of life. Once a life was lost, he would probably be the unfortunate one. In today’s society, the younger generation’s resilience is becoming weaker and weaker. Mainly it’s because the pressures of society are too great: housing, cars, getting a wife… these are all forms of pressure, and the immense pressure makes it increasingly difficult for young people to bear. Thus, some choose to end their lives.

Jumping from the upper floors of the hotel or self-immolating by burning charcoal in a hotel room…

These are all self-destructive and harmful actions. The owner generally chose to despise these individuals. It wasn’t just a matter of ruining their lives; they also destroyed the hotel’s business. They damaged their families and, if not careful, could destroy others’ families as well.

The weapons expert quickly identified all the weapons and placed them into black bags, each bag labeled with a number. These numbers corresponded to the weapons.

Soon, the weapons were carried away, and several individuals inside were also taken away.

And returned to the police station.

Zhang Dakai marveled at the unpredictability of life; he hadn’t expected that he would visit the police station twice in one night. The first time was in Captain Zhang’s office, and the second time he appeared in the detention room, handcuffed. Captain Zhang walked slowly into the detention room where Zhang Dakai was held and said with a smile, “Zhang Dakai, how does it feel? I’ve told you we would meet again, but I didn’t expect it to be so soon!”

“Captain Zhang, I…” Zhang Dakai’s face was ashen. He sighed helplessly and then said, “I was wrong.”

“Where did you go wrong?” Captain Zhang asked.

“I… I shouldn’t have gone to see them!” Zhang Dakai blurted out hurriedly: “In fact… it… it’s not all my fault. They… they called me to meet them. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been at that hotel!”

“Excuses!” Captain Zhang scoffed, “You can continue to make excuses, but do you think I would believe you?”

“Captain, you must believe me,” Zhang Dakai pleaded, “I… I am truly innocent.”

“As if I would believe that!” Captain Zhang looked at him dismissively and said, “I told you to confess honestly before, what now? You’ve fallen to the status of a prisoner, haven’t you?”

“Captain Zhang, you… you let me go!” Zhang Dakai said urgently, “I don’t know them, I really am innocent. They wanted to work with me, but… I actually refused. I have nothing to do with this!”

“You should think it over carefully. When you have thought it through, tell me tomorrow,” Captain Zhang chuckled.

“Don’t… don’t do this!” Zhang Dakai shouted urgently.

“If you confess honestly, perhaps you could get a chance to have your charges reduced, but if you don’t come clean, let me tell you, be prepared to spend your life in jail!” Captain Zhang sneered, showing no regard for Zhang Dakai.

Zhang Dakai wanted to confess. At first, he really didn’t know anything. He had tipped them off only because he didn’t want to get entangled. But now, Zhang Dakai suddenly realized he was not only entangled, but it felt like he was completely wrapped up by the other party. More than that, he felt utterly bewildered. It was like falling into a dung pit; whether it was poop or not, it now appeared to be poop.

“Captain Zhang, I… I’ve told you everything I know!” Zhang Dakai said urgently, “I really have nothing to do with them. You have to believe me, we have known each other for so many years, don’t you trust me?”

“Didn’t you also say before that you had no contact with them?” Captain Zhang replied disdainfully, “If I hadn’t been vigilant, those two bad guys might have been let go by you, right?”

“I…” Zhang Dakai became anxious: “I really didn’t mean that, I… I just didn’t want to get involved.”

“Cut the crap!” Captain Zhang replied disdainfully, and then said, “You think I’m going to believe you?”

With that, Captain Zhang put on his hat and left the detention room directly.

“Captain Zhang, don’t go, please!” Zhang Dakai became even more anxious. He struggled, trying to follow, but then he realized his hands were cuffed to a chair beside him, completely unable to move. Thus, he could only sit there on the straw mat, extremely helpless and in agony. Outside there was a silence as deep as death, a silence so profound it was hard to believe.

On the other side, the interrogation in the interrogation room was underway.

The two suspects were detained separately and interrogated separately.

Soon, some useful clues were extracted from their mouths—it turned out they were arms dealers active in the Golden Triangle. However, the weapons all came from their own workshop. The leader of this arms-dealing gang was a mechanical engineer returned from abroad. He had long enjoyed browsing weapon molds on foreign websites. Later, he downloaded all these mold designs and then set up a workshop in the Golden Triangle specifically for making firearms. Sniper rifles, automatic rifles, semi-automatic rifles, pistols… they even made military daggers.

A small workshop quickly became the weapons source for the entire Golden Triangle. This workshop quickly turned into a factory.

However, after the joint patrols by the three countries in the Golden Triangle, the factory’s business plummeted. With no choice left, they had to explore the market domestically. Unexpectedly, they fell into the hands of the police because of Huang Xiaobo.

“Captain Zhang, this is troublesome,” Lao Youtiao said with a frown, “This is an international criminal case. Their hideout is in Myanmar. We need to collaborate with the Myanmar police for the investigation!”

“No rush on that!” Captain Zhang shook his head, “Even if we take down that den, it doesn’t have much to do with us. What we need to do right now is to urgently find out how many firearms have been distributed here, and where exactly they have gone!”

“Hmm!” Lao Youtiao nodded upon hearing this. Indeed, that was what should be done. As the saying goes, there are priorities to attend to. If a large number of firearms were to appear within one’s jurisdiction, it would be a very terrifying matter, especially if it included automatic rifles. Given that the police were only equipped with a few handguns, it would be like bringing an egg against a rock to fight against their rifles—a death wish!

Moreover, if gunfights were to occur in one’s own turf, the police would have to take responsibility.

After overnight interrogations and a rapid assault interrogation, the suspects’ psychological defenses soon collapsed. They quickly confessed everything.

“So their target this time was Hei Tie?” Captain Zhang furrowed his brows and said, “Knowing the kind of person that kid is, he would definitely purchase a large quantity of firearms.”

“Yes,” Lao Youtiao nodded, “What do we do now?”

“It seems I’ll have to meet him in person,” Captain Zhang said with narrowed eyes.

“Captain Zhang, that’s dangerous!” Lao Youtiao hastily warned.

“It won’t be,” Captain Zhang shook his head, “Hei Tie is a smart man, and his power is mainly in the provincial city. If he dares to confront our police head-on, that would be seeking death. This firearms incident has to have a perfect resolution, no matter what.”

“Yes!” Lao Youtiao nodded, “I’ll go with you!”

“Fine,” Captain Zhang nodded.

The two arms dealers were quickly locked up, and the station’s officers went back home. A few police officers stayed to watch over the station. Everyone else went home to rest.

Meanwhile, Captain Zhang and Lao Youtiao hurried to a nightclub in the West City District. It was doing good business, but this place really did attract all kinds of riffraff. Therefore, it was very chaotic. Hei Tie’s subordinates wore bulletproof vests and brandished plastic batons at the entrance, looking on alert. Anyone daring to cause trouble at the nightclub would be dealt with at once. No matter who was right or wrong, they would receive a beating.
