Chapter 309: Chapter 309: Brother Can Also Earn a Pennant Now! Chapter 309: Chapter 309: Brother Can Also Earn a Pennant Now! Wang Hao: “Damn, you guys are already here? No way, I need to make a run for it!”

Male Voice: “That’s why I said you don’t have to rush. Right now, I’m just trying to buy you time!”

Wang Hao: “Hold on, I haven’t smuggled anything, why would I need to run? Who did you say is coming to catch us?”

Male Voice, clearly frustrated: “The police!”

Wang Hao: “Which police?”

Male Voice, roaring: “The Criminal Investigation Division’s police!”

Wang Hao: “But the Criminal Investigation Division should be detectives, how could they be just police?”

Male Voice: “Then they are detectives!”

Wang Hao: “Alright, even if they are detectives, but why are there no police?”

Male Voice: “How can there be no police?!”

Wang Hao: “Which police?”

Male Voice: “The Criminal Investigation Division’s police!”

Well, that went full circle!

Wang Hao shouted: “This isn’t right! The process is all wrong!”

Male Voice: “What’s wrong with it?”

Wang Hao: “Look, you guys are the City Criminal Investigation Division, and the people coming to arrest are from your division, but I’m from the Zhenning District of Zhonghai City. Normally, it should be the local police station from Zhenning District coming to make the arrest. What you’re doing is encroaching on another jurisdiction, you know? That’s a big taboo in officialdom!”

Male Voice: “Of course, the Zhenning District police station has dispatched people as well!”

Wang Hao: “Ah, my bad, I misspoke, I’m not in Zhenning District right now; I’m in Hu Ning District…”

Male Voice: “Hu Ning District has sent people too!”

Tong Tong was laughing so hard her stomach hurt…

Wang Hao: “People from Hu Ning District are coming too? Then I really need to make a run for it…”

Male Voice: “Where would you run to?!”

Wang Hao: “I don’t know, why don’t you suggest a clear path?”

Male Voice had reached his breaking point: “I’m not kidding around with you!”

Wang Hao: “Okay, okay, I’m just fooling with you–but hey, big bro, don’t you realize your calls are full of holes?”

Male Voice: “How are they full of holes?”

Wang Hao: “Well, take a look, let me tell you something. First off, if there’s a suspect, the normal procedure is to catch them first, talk later. You making a call beforehand is basically tipping them off to run away, right? Who would normally do that? You’ve gotta use your brain and think things through, okay?”

Male Voice: “Ah?! I didn’t see that coming! Big brother, could it be that you’re an expert in this field?”

Tong Tong gaped in astonishment–seeing a scammer calling their victim “big brother” was a first for her!

Is this even possible?!

Beside her, Aunt Wu Qiong was utterly shocked!

Can’t believe it, they’re actually calling this young man big brother!

Her son gave Wang Hao a thumbs-up and said, “Mom, see? This is called professional anti-fraud right here! You can rest easy now, can’t you?”

Wang Hao, chattering away with a grin: “Of course, didn’t you see who I am?”

Male Voice, exclaiming: “Could it be that big brother is really a senior in the field?!”

Wang Hao: “Absolutely. The likes of your tricks, I stopped playing with ten years ago. No fun at all. Let me teach you–first off, the Criminal Investigation Division doesn’t make calls. You’ve seen those crime shows on TV, have you ever seen the Criminal Investigation Division making calls to suspects, right?”

Male Voice: “Right, right, right, you’re teaching me good stuff! Big bro, do you have more tricks to teach?”

Wang Hao: “Sure, no problem. The Criminal Investigation Division, they don’t make calls. So who should make the calls? It has to be the court or the prosecutor’s office. But you see, you have to be clear about their office hours–8 am to 5 pm. How could you be calling people in the middle of the night?”

Male Voice: “Right, right, right, big brother’s absolutely correct. What else is there?”

Wang Hao checked the time: “Also, you need to lull your enemy into a false sense of security, make sure they can’t run away. Afterwards, you get some people dressed in police uniforms to proactively knock on the door…”

Male Voice: “Big brother, you’re so right… wait, hold on, someone’s knocking at the door…”

Wang Hao: “Then hurry up and go open the door, what are you waiting for?”

Five seconds later, I heard from the other end of the phone: “Who are you guys! What are you doing!”

Then came a roar: “Don’t move! Hands up!” “Nobody move; everybody get down!”

Ten seconds later, the voice on the other end of the phone had changed, now it was a very deep voice: “Haha, which one of you is little brother Wang Hao? Nice job! It would have been tough to pin them down without you stringing them along until now!”

Wang Hao said with a grin: “Is that you, Brother Kong Xingsheng? Got them all?”

“We got them!” Kong Xingsheng laughed heartily: “Little brother, do you have any idea how many people there were in total?”

Wang Hao and Tong Tong exchanged glances, then asked: “How many?”

Kong Xingsheng excitedly said: “A full twelve people in this room! A major phone scam gang! Hahahaha! Little brother, don’t rush, I need to count the spoils of victory!”

Twelve people, a major phone scam gang! They started counting the spoils of victory there!

Hearing this, even though Tong Tong had seen a lot and was knowledgeable, her mouth nearly formed an “O” shape!

To have just casually captured a major phone scam gang like that?! Wang Hao was truly amazing?!

Aunt Wu Qiong’s eyes were wide with astonishment: “Really caught them?! Oh my, this is so great!” As she spoke, she grasped Wang Hao’s hand: “Young man, thank you. If it weren’t for you, my money would really have been swindled away by them!”

As if in response to her words, the phone rang again!

On the call, Officer Kong Xingsheng was clearly in a good mood: “Haha, little brother, you’ll never guess how many spoils this criminal gang turned up! My goodness, I was taken aback!”

Damn, he’s making it sound like it’s a lot!

“Several million?” Wang Hao and Tong Tong looked at each other, then Wang Hao asked: “With twelve people, a few million should be there, right?”

“More than a few million!” Kong Xingsheng exclaimed excitedly: “A whopping over twenty million!”

“Darn, that much!” Hearing this number, Wang Hao and Tong Tong were both stunned!

This was definitely a mega criminal gang, darn! Over twenty million!

Kong Xingsheng said excitedly: “I’ll send you the photos!”

He soon sent over photos from the scene. When Wang Hao saw the items in the photos, he was really astounded!

Kong Xingsheng explained: “We found over three hundred ID cards, more than two hundred bank cards! Dozens of different devices and pieces of equipment! More than ninety cell phones, and over a thousand SIM cards!”

Who would have thought that I’d crack a huge phone scam gang just fooling around like this?

Oh boy, I’m feeling almost too powerful now… it’s getting a bit embarrassing…

“Don’t say a word, little brother,” Kong Xingsheng chuckled: “I’ll take this case back with me. When you have time, you and Miss Tong should come visit our criminal investigation division, and our squad leader promises to give you a pennant of honor!”

A pennant of honor!

Now I’m someone who can receive a pennant!

“That’s great,” Wang Hao said excitedly: “I’ll swing by when I’m free! I’ll look you up again if something good comes up!”

“Absolutely,” Kong Xingsheng said: “We’ll head back after wrapping up here, haha!”

Wang Hao: “Alright!”

“Aunt Wu,” once all was settled, Wang Hao asked with a smile: “Not afraid anymore, are you?”

“Not afraid,” Aunt Wu was clearly very happy: “Why should I be afraid when the bad guys have been caught?”

“Little brother, you’re something else!” Her son admired him now: “I just thought if we could avoid getting scammed that would be enough. I never imagined you could actually track down the scammers and catch them all! Amazing!”

“It’s only right,” Wang Hao laughed: “That’s settled then. How should I address you, big bro?”

“I’m Ding Hongzhi,” the man handed over a business card directly: “Here’s my card, hehe.”

Wang Hao took the card and read it: “JH City Department of Culture Director Cao Yuncheng. In charge of: Film, TV, and Animation.”

Wow, so he is a director-level official, impressive!

“So, you’re Director Cao,” Wang Hao greeted him quickly: “Hello, hello, my name is Wang Hao. Come to think of it, we’re in the same line of work! I even have shares in Golden Cloud Animation Technology Company right here in our city!”

“Oh, is that right?” As soon as Cao Yuncheng heard Wang Hao’s words, he immediately lit up: “That’s great! By the way, are you going to the Heavenly Country Animation Conference tomorrow? If you are, let’s go together!”

“The conference is tomorrow already?” Wang Hao’s eyes widened: “I really wasn’t paying attention, though I did receive an invitation.”

“That’s right, you have to be there tomorrow night!” Cao Yuncheng laughed: “If you’re going, let’s go together. I’ll introduce you to some big shots, the really prominent kinds in the industry!”
