Chapter 294 Prepare to arrest!

Chapter 294 Prepare to arrest!

Jia Dongming drove back to Sijiucheng. It was already past seven in the evening. He drove into the Dongcheng Branch and quickly walked to the office of the Serious Crime Squad. Seeing that only the police officer on duty was left in the office, he said to him, "Wang Jie! Go and call everyone back immediately. There will be an operation tonight!"

When Wang Jie heard Jia Dongming's instructions, he thought of the deadline their superiors had given them to solve the case, and immediately asked Jia Dongming tentatively, "Captain! Have you found the murderer?"

When Jia Dongming heard Wang Jie's question, he nodded subconsciously and replied, "So far, I have only found one of the murderers. As for the whereabouts of the other murderers, we have not yet found out. So we must arrest the murderer before it gets dark, and then pry open his mouth to find out the specific whereabouts of the other murderers."

When Wang Jie heard what Jia Dongming said and learned that Jia Dongming had discovered the whereabouts of the murderer, he immediately showed an excited expression on his face and replied, "Captain! I will go and notify everyone now and ask them to gather at the bureau immediately."

After seeing Wang Jie go to notify the members of the Serious Crime Squad, Jia Dongming walked to the desk where the phone was placed, reached out and pressed the phone, shook it vigorously a few times, then picked up the receiver and said politely, "Is this the switchboard? Please transfer me to the home of Director Li Xidong of the Dongcheng Public Security Bureau."

"Hello! This is Li Xidong. Who are you looking for?" The call was connected quickly. Before Jia Dongming had time to speak, a middle-aged woman's polite voice came from the phone.

When Jia Dongming heard the middle-aged woman's question, he immediately introduced himself to her: "Big sister! Hello! I am Jia Dongming, deputy chief of the Criminal Investigation Brigade of the Dongcheng Branch. Is Director Li home? Please ask him to answer the phone."

When the middle-aged woman heard Jia Dongming's self-introduction, she immediately smiled and replied, "It's Xiao Jia! Our old Li is reading documents in the study. Please wait a moment, I will help you call him to answer the phone."

After Li Xidong's wife finished speaking, she put the phone on the table, walked quickly to the door of the study, knocked on the door, and shouted to Li Xidong who was sitting in the study reading documents: "Old Li! Your call is from Jia Dongming from your branch. He said he has something to talk to you about."

When Li Xidong heard what his wife said and learned that Jia Dongming was looking for him, he thought of the time when Jia Dongming asked him for a car in the morning. His intuition told Li Xidong that Jia Dongming's call to him at this time must be related to the murder case yesterday. He then put down the documents in his hand and walked quickly out of the study.

Li Xidong walked to the phone, reached out and picked up the receiver on the table, and asked Jia Dongming seriously, "Xiao Jia! Hello! You are calling me at this time. Is there any new progress in the case?"

When Jia Dongming heard Li Xidong's question, he thought of the clues he got unexpectedly when he visited the countryside for a day, and smiled and reported to Li Xidong: "Director Li! I visited several villages in Changping today, and unexpectedly got an important clue in Qinjia Village."

When Li Xidong heard Jia Dongming's report, he suddenly felt his eyes light up. He smiled and asked Jia Dongming: "Xiao Jia! Tell me quickly, what is the clue?"

When Jia Dongming heard Li Xidong's question and thought of his discovery, he reported respectfully, "Director Li! The situation is like this. When I was visiting Qinjia Village today, I accidentally learned that there was an ancient tomb in the back mountain of Qinjia Village that was just robbed a while ago."

"After I got the news, I asked the villagers to take me to the site of the robbed ancient tomb. I found that the footprints left by the tomb robbers were exactly the same as those left at the crime scene yesterday. This shows that this group of tomb robbers are the murderers who killed the foreigners."

"Later, I followed the tomb robbers' footprints all the way to Kaoshan Village, which is four or five miles away from Qinjia Village. Finally, I found that the tomb robbers had entered a yard at the foot of the mountain in Kaoshan Village."

"In order to avoid alerting the enemy, I hid in the hills behind Kaoshan Village and watched the yard for more than two hours. I finally found that there was only a middle-aged couple living in the yard. I didn't find any other tomb robbers, so I suspect that the middle-aged man is probably one of the tomb robbers." Jia Dongming paused for a moment and continued, "Director Li! I have arranged for all members of the serious crime team to gather at the bureau. I plan to lead the team to Kaoshan Village at night to secretly arrest the tomb robber, and then conduct a surprise interrogation on him to find out the whereabouts of the other tomb robbers."

When Jia Dongming came to Li Xidong to apply for a car in the morning, he reported to Li Xidong the reason why he applied for the vehicle. At that time, in Li Xidong's subconscious mind, Jia Dongming's idea was like looking for a needle in a haystack, and it was difficult to obtain valuable clues.

However, out of support for Jia Dongming, Li Xidong agreed to Jia Dongming's application and arranged a jeep for Jia Dongming. Unexpectedly, Jia Dongming found the key clue after only one day, and then used this clue to identify one of the murderers.

Upon hearing the news, Li Xidong showed a happy smile on his face and said to Jia Dongming, "Xiao Jia! Our superiors only gave us 48 hours to solve the case. I originally thought that it would be very difficult for your serious crime team to solve the case within 48 hours. Unexpectedly, only a dozen hours have passed and you have already got the key clues."

Li Xidong paused for a moment and continued, "Xiao Jia! I have approved your action plan. Remember to bring more people with you. I hope to hear good news from your Serious Crime Squad when I arrive at the office tomorrow morning."

After Jia Dongming finished his phone call with Li Xidong, he immediately went to the cafeteria of the branch, had a simple meal, and then returned to the office of the Serious Crime Squad.

"Deputy Captain! I heard Wang Jie say that you have found important clues in last night's murder case. Is this true?" Jia Dongming had just walked into the office of the Serious Crime Squad. There were already seven or eight people sitting in the office. One of them was a policeman, thinking of the information that Wang Jie had revealed when he notified him, and immediately asked Jia Dongming impatiently.

Jia Dongming nodded subconsciously when he heard the police officer's question and replied, "Comrades! After visiting today, I have found the address of a murderer. I decided to secretly arrest the murderer under the cover of night. After everyone is here, we will go to the gun room to collect weapons and then set off to Changping."

Ten minutes later, all the police officers from the serious crime brigade rushed to the branch from their homes. After Jia Dongming and others went to the gun room to collect their weapons and equipment, they got on the branch's truck and headed towards Changping.

More than an hour later, the two trucks stopped not far from Kaoshan Village. In order to avoid alerting the enemy, Jia Dongming led the police officers of the Serious Crime Squad according to the road selected during the daytime observation, along the path outside the village, bypassed Kaoshan Village directly, and came to the yard located on the back mountain of Kaoshan Village.

When he arrived outside the yard, Jia Dongming immediately used his Eagle Eye skill to take a look at the situation in the yard. He found that the owner of the yard was sitting on the kang with a middle-aged man, drinking and chatting about something.

When Jia Dongming discovered this, he immediately used his super-ears skill to try to eavesdrop on the conversation between the two.

"Brother! When does Uncle Long plan to take the foreign money he got last night to the black market to exchange it?" The owner of the yard asked the middle-aged man while drinking.

The middle-aged man heard his younger brother's question and answered, "Third brother! Uncle Long said that we killed a foreigner this time. The police in the city will definitely take it very seriously. In the short term, we must not use the money."
