The Happy Farmer Wanderer-Chapter 939: Swift and Decisive Battle

"I know, so I’m always ready to apprehend the suspect," Li Qing said with a light smile.

Wang Baichuan and Director Jia both appeared taken aback for a moment. Wang Baichuan asked, "Handling this case seems a bit beyond your authority, doesn’t it? It’s not that I’m unwilling to let you take on a big case, I just want to advise you not to create unnecessary trouble for yourself."

"This is undoubtedly a major case. Even if he has a mental disorder, I estimate at most he would receive one to two years of treatment with a suspended execution of his sentence. He won’t have the chance to walk free again, nor will he be able to stay quietly in a psychiatric hospital indefinitely, I can assure you of that."

"We should deal with special situations in special ways. If we had not encountered this case and actively pursued it, that would indeed be inappropriate," Li Qing said. "But now that we have, we can certainly conduct a joint investigation, taking the lead while you support."

Just then, Li Qing had specifically brushed up on his knowledge, so he was now filled with confidence.

"If it’s a joint investigation, that would be more than welcome," Director Jia said, nodding. "With your help, we can solve this case much more efficiently and swiftly."

While they were talking, Wang Baichuan suddenly pressed the earpiece he was wearing and said loudly, "There’s news. The contact has made a move; he abandoned the car and fled into the mountains."

"Let’s go! We’re heading there right now!" Director Jia exclaimed decisively upon hearing this.

Li Qing also immediately stood up and said, "Leave two people to watch this guy; I’ll go with you."

"Alright, you two stay behind and keep an eye on him," Director Jia nodded and casually picked two people, instructing, "Everyone else, follow me."

Upon hearing the order, everyone hurriedly rushed out of Qi Mengru’s office and jogged down the stairs.

Li Qing got into Wang Baichuan’s car, and once the vehicle started moving, he finally had the opportunity to voice the doubt in his mind, "I don’t even know Ah Gou’s full name or what he looks like; how did you find him so quickly?"

"The kid probably has a high awareness of counter-surveillance and realized we had police set up around the outskirts of the town," Wang Baichuan explained. "Wu Yuzong doesn’t know much about this person, so we had no choice but to use the dumbest method—blocking off the area and checking everyone."

"Actually, it’s easier this way. After he got spooked, he exposed himself, making it easier for us to catch him."

Li Qing nodded. "He was probably trying to slip away unnoticed but got spotted. Then he thought Wu Yuzong had set him up intentionally to let us catch him, so he panicked and ran without a plan."

"Your guess is probably very close to the truth," Wang Baichuan said with a smile. "But he has no idea how little we know about him; we only know he’s a dog dealer known as Ah Gou, nothing more."

"Although Wu Yuzong has dealt with Ah Gou countless times, he doesn’t know Ah Gou’s full name or where he lives, otherwise we wouldn’t have needed to use a baiting strategy. This kid’s awareness of counter-surveillance is not bad, but his psychological quality is lacking," Li Qing said with a laugh.

He might have had a chance to bluff his way through, but his paranoia essentially led to him exposing himself.

"True, the kid’s psychological quality is a bit poor; otherwise, he wouldn’t have exposed himself so quickly," Wang Baichuan said with a chuckle.

As they talked, the car had already left the town.

Wang Baichuan coordinated with the peripheral units while driving in the direction Ah Gou had fled into the mountains.

About two or three kilometers out of town, Wang Baichuan steered off the national highway and turned onto a seldom used dirt road.

Ah Gou had entered the mountains from this spot.

He seemed to be panicking and chose a random path to dash into. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

As a result, that dirt road led only to a mountain god temple standing between the hill hollows, and there was no path beyond the front of the temple.

By the time Li Qing and Wang Baichuan arrived, a large contingent of police had already gathered there.

But no one was in a rush to search the mountain; instead, a group huddled together, nervously eyeing an enchanting woman standing by the roadside. In the sea of black uniforms, the woman in a red dress seemed to glow.

Seeing the tense atmosphere, Li Qing realized the gravity of the situation and hurriedly said to Wang Baichuan, "Quick, pull your men back a bit. That woman is one of our old hands, and furthermore... she has a bit of a temper. In terms of both identity and rank, she ranks higher than I do."

Wang Baichuan chuckled softly, "I was just about to say you’ve found quite a beauty from somewhere. I was thinking of asking you for her contact information, to get to know her when I’m free. Your comment has just put me right off."

Li Qing had intentionally exaggerated Huan Ling Ji’s status, knowing full well that something like this would happen. But he had not expected that even Wang Baichuan would think so, and that too, at first glance.

It just goes to show the devastating power of Huan Ling Ji’s Bewitching Technique, combined with her beauty and irresistibly sexy figure, on a single man like Baichuan — utterly captivated with just a look.

Glancing at Wang Baichuan, Li Qing said with a smile, "You’re right to back off. You can’t handle this woman. Don’t let your mind wander so much and focus on the matter at hand instead."

"Right, right, right, serious business first. Looks like your veteran has been caught," Wang Baichuan’s gaze shifted slightly as he looked at the figure lying at Huan Ling Ji’s feet.

Li Qing silently laughed to himself.

He thought that unless absolutely necessary, Huan Ling Ji should just stay put at home.

Every time she steps out, there’s trouble everywhere.

It’s easy enough to deal with acquaintances, but if they come across a couple of shameless people who think they have power and influence, it can be quite bothersome.

Under Wang Baichuan’s orders, the armed police finally withdrew from around Huan Ling Ji, and Li Qing and Wang Baichuan were finally able to get to the front.

Yet faced with this situation, Huan Ling Ji seemed perfectly content and exhibited remarkable composure.

As Li Qing approached, she curved her lips into a faint smile and threw a flirtatious look at Li Qing, kicking the person lying at her feet, she said, "Here, I’ve caught the man for you. Do you plan to question him now, or find a place for a more leisurely interrogation?"

"I think... right here will do; let’s make it quick and decisive," Wang Baichuan’s face turned a bit red as he stammered out his words.

He’s actually so nervous his face is red...

Li Qing instantly felt completely at a loss.

Look at what’s become of this kid.

"Tone down that aura of yours, it’s a bit distracting from the task at hand," Li Qing murmured.

Huan Ling Ji shrugged her shoulders weakly, saying, "Don’t be mad, I can’t help it."
