Chapter 264 Playing Chess
When Xiaoqin and the police arrived, they found the five fugitives neatly placed at the door of the warehouse. The man with a mustache was sitting on a stone, his expression desperate yet expectant, like a fruit farmer whose fruits were rotting on the trees waiting for merchants to buy them at a low price.
Ah Si sat on the other side, reaching out and scratching his back.
When the police got out of the car, the man with a mustache immediately stretched out his hands straight and said in a crying voice: "Thank God, you are finally here." He was afraid that Ah Si's identity as a policeman was a lie. If Ah Si had killed people and robbed people just now, he would have been helpless. At this moment, seeing the police was like seeing his relatives.
Ah Si went to meet Xiao Qin and said, "I have checked. They did have 9 taxis, but only three of them had goods on them, in the cars with the last numbers 6, 7, and 8 -" He kicked the black briefcase and said, "This is from car number 7. They plan to use the other taxis as a footstool to supply goods to places that need them." It turned out that Xiao Huzi had the same idea as Hu Hao when he got those things. He thought of using taxis as a cover. Hu Hao was bumped into by Zhao Weiming and Li Erhu as soon as he finished his first order, which triggered a series of events. The reason why Hu Hao could act alone was because of his special identity - he was Xiao Huzi's brother-in-law. Xiao Qin's initial prediction was correct. Not all the 9 cars had goods, but she overestimated Xiao Huzi for thinking that he was playing a trick.
Xiaoqin was surprised to hear that Ah Si had pulled out all the hard facts and asked, "How did you find out that?"
Ah Si smiled and said, "Before you guys came, this kid was afraid that I would kill him, so he told me whatever I asked. Of course I had to seize the opportunity."
Then someone shouted, "Well done!"
The door of a police car opened, and it turned out to be Captain Peng with his arms stretched out.
Ah Si said, "Master, you are here too."
Xiaoqin frowned and asked, "What is your relationship?"
Captain Peng said to her, "Ah Si wants to be a policeman. I think this is a good thing. Let him stay with you while I am in the hospital."
"With me?"
Captain Peng said, "Don't take him with me when I return to Yunnan." He lowered his voice and said, "Don't lose such a good seedling."
The police who were cleaning up the scene felt very troubled when they saw the five people lying on the ground, and regretted not calling a few ambulances directly. None of the five people were conscious after such a long time, and the one with a broken leg was still groaning. The remaining four were all seriously injured. One of them had his nose smashed into pieces, and a piece of flesh was pulled out of the white-haired man's face. It might not be possible for these two to restore their former appearance by going to Korea.
Xiaoqin said: "Next time, please take action to control the severity of the disease. It is the country's money that is spent on their medical treatment."
Captain Peng said, "Just be thankful that no one was killed. If an average person were to encounter his situation, what would be the chance of survival?"
Ah Si said: "Masters always love their disciples."
Xiaoqin said helplessly to Captain Peng: "I think you should leave the hospital as soon as possible. It's useless to stay there. Come out and take good care of your apprentice."
Captain Peng said eagerly, "How about...I go back and handle the formalities later?"
Ah Si said anxiously: "No! Let it rest for two more days!" As he said this, he winked at Captain Peng, and his intention was very clear: he asked the master to create an opportunity for the two of them to be alone.
…
Wugunhua was sent to the hospital, which was on the same route as Captain Peng.
Ah Si, Xiao Qin and Captain Peng were in a car. He suddenly said, "Old Three has also confessed the Japanese. The mastermind is Ono Taro. Why haven't we arrested him yet?"
There was a brief silence in the car, and Ah Si asked, "Is it because he is a foreigner ?"
Xiaoqin said, "Not only because he is a foreigner, but also because we have no evidence. Ono Taro has never revealed his true colors, let alone audio or video. The people we caught have never even seen him. How can you say he is the mastermind behind this?"
Ah Si said, "Old San said that the person in charge of the middleman connection is Long Taiquan Saburo. Can we touch Ono if we catch this man?" There was something strange in the way he said Long Taiquan Saburo's name. It turned out that when Ah Si was interrogating the little mustache just now, he was also a little worried, for fear that he would reveal Chiang Kai-shek's name. He knew that Chiang Kai-shek was forced to work under Ono Taro due to Xu Xiaofeng's indenture.
Captain Peng said: "We have to catch him first."
Ah Si lowered his head in thought.
Captain Peng asked tentatively: "What are you thinking about?"
"I was wondering where to catch Ryuta Izumi Saburo."
Captain Peng smiled and said, "That's right, I didn't think of killing Ono Taro privately."
Ah Si said, "When playing chess, you have to make your opponent admit defeat on the chessboard. If you can't win, just go ahead and do it, wouldn't that be a rogue?"
Captain Peng smiled kindly like an old father, and boasted to Xiaoqin: "Am I a good teacher?"
…
After settling the follow-up at the hospital, Xiaoqin had to interrogate Xiao Huzi. Ah Si grabbed her hand and dragged her into the treatment room, then took off his shirt.
Xiaoqin, who has seen a lot of ups and downs, would naturally not be scared like the little girls in idol dramas. She looked at Ah Si with a smile on her face, wanting to see what tricks he would play.
Ah Si stuffed a pair of tweezers into her hands and said, "I was shot twice in the back. Please take out the bullets for me." He turned around and revealed two bloody holes.
Xiaoqin suddenly lost her composure: "I'll go find a doctor for you."
"No need to bother. If I can't reach it, I won't even need you."
Xiaoqin had seen a lot of things, but this was her first time doing this kind of work. She mustered up her courage and inserted the tweezers into the wound. Ah Si instructed, "Pinch it and turn it slightly, and then it will be easier to pull out."
Xiaoqin followed instructions and took out a bullet, which fell into the plate with a clang.
Ah Si said, "Yes, just pull it out like this, there is still one." He said in a hoarse voice, "Damn, retribution comes quickly, I just got it done by Ah San, and soon it's my turn."
Xiaoqin took a long time to take out the other bullet and became silent.
Ah Si turned around and said to her, "There is one more." There was a bullet stuck in his rib not far from his heart. It turned out that the man with the mustache had good marksmanship and he hit the target with three shots. It was just that this shot was far away, and Ah Si was lucky. If it hadn't been in the rib , the consequences would have been disastrous.
Xiaoqin took out the bullets, her eyes suddenly reddened and she said: "Do what you should do when you encounter such things in the future. I will never blame you for being too heavy-handed again." Only then did she infer from the three bullets the dangers that Ah Si had experienced when he was fighting wits and courage with the enemy. It turned out that people like Ah Si could also be injured, and they risked their lives to do things that ordinary people could not do.
Ah Si smiled and said, "It seems that you still like me. Ah San was beaten twice but you didn't even cry."
Xiaoqin glared at him and said, "Why didn't you tell me about your injury just now?"
Ah Si said, "This is the deal I made with Lao San. As long as he tells me everything he knows, I won't mention the incident of him assaulting the police. You can use this to threaten him when you interrogate him later."
Xiaoqin said: "But you are not a police officer yet."
"He doesn't know!" Ah Si said, "Everything else is trivial now. We need to race against time to get first-hand information. Only by squeezing the Third Brother dry as quickly as possible can we hope to catch the big fish."
Xiaoqin sighed, "It seems that Captain Peng's wishful thinking is to teach you to be a law-abiding policeman."
