Early in the morning, Xia Mingke dragged his tired body out of the Forest.
Because they were carrying an injured person and a suspect, they didn't walk fast. The rugged mountain road and the harsh environment made them physically and mentally exhausted.
Ma Guodong leaned on a wooden stick and licked his dry lips. He looked at the road at the edge of the forest and said in a hoarse voice, "We're finally out. If anyone tells me that they want to breathe in the fresh air of nature again, I promise I'll slap them. "
Xia Mingke couldn't walk anymore. He called out to everyone, "Sit down and rest for a while. We'll continue later."
Ma Guodong didn't care if it was dirty or not. He sat on the ground, took out half a bottle of mineral water from his bag, and poured it down his throat. "Captain Xia, should we report this to the municipal bureau?"
Xia Mingke sighed. In fact, his phone already had signal half an hour ago when they were near the edge of the forest. He should have reported it to the municipal bureau then, but … he didn't make the call.
He didn't know how to report the case, and he was too ashamed to report it.
Ma Guodong seemed to see Xia Mingke's dilemma. He took a deep breath and said, "Captain Xia, why don't I call and report it?"
Xia Mingke patted him on the shoulder. "I appreciate your kindness, but I'll do it myself."
Some things had to be faced by himself. If he didn't have this responsibility, he wouldn't be able to sit in this position.
Xia Mingke took out his phone and called the municipal bureau's leader. "Hello, Director Song, this is Xia Mingke. We came out of the forest and caught one of Lu Zhen's accomplices, but we didn't catch Lu Zhen himself."
"I already know."
Xia Mingke glanced around. None of his subordinates had made a phone call. "How did you find out?"
"Lu Zhen has been arrested by the Qindao Criminal Investigation Unit."
"What?" Xia Mingke's eyes widened. Surprise was written all over his face. "They caught him? How did they catch him? "
"Ask yourself when you come back. I still have something to do. I'll hang up first. "
"Beep beep …" A busy tone came from the phone. Xia Mingke could tell that the old leader was a little unhappy.
Xia Mingke held the phone tightly in his right hand as if he was going to squash it. Lu Zhen was arrested by the Qindao police.
Logically speaking, this was a good thing, but he couldn't bring himself to be happy.
Seeing Xia Mingke's unusual expression, Ma Guodong asked with concern, "Captain Xia, what happened?"
"Lu Zhen has been captured."
"Where did you catch him? Who caught him? "
"Arrested by the Qin Island Police."
Ma Guodong also had a complicated look on his face. It was hard to tell if she was happy or sad, or both.
…
Dali City Public Security Bureau Interrogation Room.
Lu Zhen had changed into men's clothes, and his hands were cuffed to the interrogation chair. His head was lowered, and his face was expressionless.
Han Bin, Wang Xiao, and Zhao Ming sat opposite the interrogation table.
Han Bin sized him up carefully, twirling the pen in his hand, he asked, "Name, gender, place of origin …"
"Lu Zhen, I'm a real man, a Chinese …"
Zhao Ming laughed and said, "You still have the nerve to call yourself a man. You're wearing women's clothes and wearing perfume. You look more like a woman than a woman."
"Humph." Lu Zhen let out a cold snort.
"Lu Zhen, where did you learn to put on makeup? You almost fooled the police."
"I've lived in Thailand for more than ten years. There are many men who like to dress up as women. I thought it was fun, so I learned from them."
"Your makeup skills are not bad."
"It's just so-so. It's common in Thailand. The women in China are too rough and don't understand men. If you were in Thailand, you'd never get married."
Han Bin touched his nose. "Do you know why they arrested you?"
"I don't know."
"Then why did you run? You even dressed up as a woman. "
"I'm happy. I like to dress up as a woman. When I don't have money to spend in Thailand, I'll make a cameo to earn some money."
"Where did you get that woman's ID?"
"I bought it."
"How much did you pay for it? Where did you buy it? "
"I bought it online, three thousand dollars for one."
"Which website?"
"Kachi Net."
It was the first time Han Bin heard of this name. He wrote it down in his notebook. "Do you know Sun Xu?"
Lu Zhen's body trembled. "I don't know him."
"But he knows you. After he was arrested, he confessed to the crime and told us about you. If you're willing to cooperate with the police, I can help you fight for leniency. If you're not willing, I believe Sun Xu is more than willing to testify against you. "
Lu Zhen sighed and was silent for a long time. "I knew this day would come …"
"Don't be stubborn. Confess now. It'll be good for you."
"Officer, before I confess, I have a question for you."
"What is it?"
"How did you know there was something wrong with me? I thought I didn't give myself away. "
"You seem to be very confident in your makeup skills."
"It's all thanks to my years of practice in Thailand."
"I've seen your surveillance footage. I remember your height, body shape, walking habits, and gait clearly. When I saw you in person, it immediately matched the image in my mind."
"That means you didn't see through my disguise."
Han Bin asked back, "Is that important to you?"
"I just want to know how I lost. It looks like I've met a detective. Sigh, it's my bad luck."
Zhao Ming gave him a thumbs up. "You're right. Our Captain Han is a famous detective on Qin Island. It's no wonder you lost to him. Don't think you can get away with it. Hurry up and confess. There's no way you can get away with our Captain Han. "
"Ahem …" Han Bin was a little embarrassed by the flattery.
However, Lu Zhen seemed to have listened to him, or maybe he found a way out of the situation and convinced himself. "I admit defeat."
Han Bin asked, "You admit that you're Sun Xu and Gao Xiaopo's agent?"
"Qin Island, Gao Xiaopo. So it was this kid who exposed himself first. Yes, I'm their agent. I'm the one who supplied them with the goods."
"Where did you get the goods?"
"Myanmar."
"Who supplied them?"
"Someone with the surname Du."
"Full name."
"Du Zhifei."
"Which country is he from?"
"He's also from China, but he's always been in Myanmar."
"How did you transport the illegal drugs into China?"
"I'm doing a fruit business with a friend and we need to import fruits from Myanmar. When I need goods, I take the opportunity to smuggle some into the trucks."
"How did you get past the security check?"
"How should I put it? There's a lot of imported fruits in China. The daily shipment alone is an astronomical figure. It's impossible to check too carefully. There's more than a dozen tons in a truck. It's impossible to move the boxes of fruits off the trucks one by one, let alone check them one by one.
I figured out the pattern of their inspection, so I hid the drugs under the boxes and secretly transported them to China. Then, I gave them to my agent. "
"Do you have any other agents other than these two?"
Lu Zhen hesitated and licked his lips. "Can I get a lighter sentence if I tell you?"
"As long as you help us catch the person who's involved in selling the drugs, it'll be considered a meritorious service. I'll help you get a lighter sentence."
"Okay, I'll tell you." Lu Zhen let out a long sigh. "I have three agents. One in Beijing, one in Shanghai, and one in Yang Cheng."
"What are their names? What's their address? What's their ID and phone number? "
"The agent in Beijing is Cao Leshan."
"The agent in Shanghai is Zhao Liren."
"The agent in Yang Cheng is Mou Xiangchen."
"I don't remember their addresses, identities, and phone numbers, but there's a record on my phone. You can check it yourself."
"So many agents, you must have a lot of supplies."
"Sigh, I'm just working hard to earn money. Du Zhifei took most of it. Who asked him to get the goods? I'm just working for him."
"Where did Du Zhifei get the goods?"
"I don't know, and he wouldn't tell me. If I knew, I wouldn't have to be skinned by him. Wouldn't it be better if I bought the goods myself? Why would I give him all the money I risked to earn? "
"Where does Du Zhifei live?"
"I know he's in Hanoi, but I don't know the exact location."
"You should know his phone number, right?"
"I know, 137383 XXXX."
Han Bin wrote down the phone number. "How did you meet Du Zhifei?"
"I was his guide when he traveled to Thailand, and we got to know each other that way. I was also dressed as a woman, and he was surprised when he found out I was a woman. He asked me why I wanted to do this, and how much I could earn in a month.
I didn't think much of it at the time. He was a customer, and I was charging on time. I was just chatting, so I told him about my situation. Later, I became his guide for a few days, and we got to know each other better. He offered to let me work for him, and said he would pay me ten times more than what I was paid for this job.
I didn't believe him at first, but then I found out that this job was really profitable … So I got involved. "
"Other than Du Zhifei and your five agents, is there anyone else in your criminal organization?"
"As far as I know, there shouldn't be anyone else. Du Zhifei doesn't completely trust me, and even if there is, he might not tell me. "
"Why did you abandon your car by the side of the road?"
"I was trying to distract the police's attention, so they would think that I escaped from the forest. That way, they would relax their security check. Who knew that you didn't fall for it."
"Who was the driver?"
"A friend of mine. His name is Xie Jianzhang."
"Is he one of your accomplices?"
"No, he's just close to me, so I gave him a sum of money to cross the Forest and enter Myanmar to distract the police."
"Does Xie Jianzhang know that you're selling illegal drugs?"
"Nope."
Han Bin wrote it down in his notebook and said, "I hope you can help the police arrest Du Zhifei."
"Can you reduce his sentence?"
"Absolutely."
"I agree." Lu Zhen had no more psychological barriers, so he agreed without hesitation.
…
The interrogation lasted for a few hours, and Han Bin was very clear about the situation. He then reported the information to Ding Xifeng, and asked Ding Xifeng to contact the Myanmar police to help arrest Du Zhifei and the other three agents.
After this trip to Dali City, Han Bin did not plan to go to Myanmar to participate in the arrest.
Firstly, it was not easy to go abroad. Secondly, they were restricted in Dali City. If they went abroad, they would not be able to do much.
From Han Bin's point of view, he was only able to catch Sun Xutong and Lu Zhen because of his good luck. At the same time, he could not do much without the assistance of the Dali City police.
After the report, Han Bin's work in Dali City came to an end, and he immediately felt a lot more relaxed.
…
After Xia Mingke returned to the police station, he learned that Han Bin was interrogating Lu Zhen. He immediately rushed to the observation room next to the interrogation room, but he did not show up.
After listening to Han Bin's interrogation, he had a general understanding of the process of arresting Lu Zhen.
He had to admit that Lu Zhen was indeed cunning. He had seen pictures of Lu Zhen in women's clothing, and he knew that if he were in Lu Zhen's shoes, he might not be able to recognize him.
He had to admit that Han Bin was indeed capable to be able to become the squadron leader of the Criminal Investigation Unit at such a young age.
Xia Mingke yawned. He was very sleepy now, but he could not rest. He still had to write a mission report.
He had been sitting in front of his desk for half an hour, staring blankly for half an hour. He had only written a few words on a piece of paper. The two suspects were arrested by Han Bin. No matter how much preparation he had done before the arrest, what he saw in the report was the result. He really did not know how to write …
"Knock knock …" There was a knock on the door.
"Come in."
The door opened, and Han Bin pushed the door open and walked in.
Xia Mingke was stunned for a moment. He did not expect it to be Han Bin.
"Captain Han, you're here. Please take a seat."
"Captain Xia, I hope I'm not interrupting your work."
"No." Xia Mingke quickly put away the report and stretched out his hand. "Captain Han, if there's anything, please sit down and talk."
"Actually, it's nothing much. The suspects have been arrested, and the case is almost closed. I'm sincerely grateful for the help from the comrades in the Dali City Bureau. So before I leave Dali City, I'd like to treat Captain Xia, Team Leader Ma, and the other team members to a meal. Let's have some fun, and it will be a rare memory. "
The corner of Xia Mingke's mouth twitched. The last person he wanted to see was Han Bin, but he really could not refuse Han Bin's suggestion. Not only could he not refuse, but he also had to be more enthusiastic than Han Bin.
"Captain Han, what are you talking about? How can I let you treat me? I've already arranged a restaurant. Let's have a good gathering tonight, and I'll let you taste our Dali City's specialties."
Han Bin said, "No, no, how can I let you treat me? I've troubled you a lot this time in Dali City. I should be the one treating you."
"Captain Han, you're slapping my face. How can I let you treat me in Dali City? I've already booked a private room. You just have to attend the banquet tonight."
"That's so embarrassing."
"There's nothing bad about business. When I go to Qindao one day, I'll still treat you."
"Haha, that's for sure. You must call me when you go to Qindao."
"That's all right."
After the two chatted for a while, Han Bin said goodbye and left.
"What's this?" Section Chief Xia Mingke sighed. No matter how much grievance and reluctance he felt, he could only swallow it down.
He took out his phone and dialed Ma Guodong's number. "Hey, Old Ma, hurry up and book a big private room …"
