Chapter 536: Chapter 536

The next day, Song Guanchao arrived at the Police Department and saw two familiar faces again.

Lin Wanqiu was there, and so was Xiao Chenggong.

"Miss Lin, hello."

"Hello," Lin Wanqiu responded with a gentle smile, her almond-shaped eyes sparkling with amusement.

Remembering the foolish phone call he had made the previous day, Song Guanchao couldn’t help but his face turn red.

The two exchanged brief greetings before busying themselves with their respective tasks.

Zhou Qian followed Lin Wanqiu, completely forgetting she was also a host, and cooperated with her in every aspect.

Song Guanchao and Xiao Chenggong hid in the corridor to smoke, "Is our police force sufficient?"

Xiao Chenggong said, "We’ve pulled together quite a bit from our city."

Song Guanchao ohh’ed, "It looks like, if not tomorrow, then the day after we move."

Police forces couldn’t be drawn over to stay in Lingjiang City indefinitely.

The minor concern was the cost of accommodations, but the major issue was that Jianyuan City was suddenly short so many police officers, which could easily impact its law and order.

At most three days, if no arrests were made within three days, they would have to go back.

Xiao Chenggong said, "I think we’ll likely act tomorrow."

"What we’re catching is just a bunch of non-combatants, trash really. Actually, your Lingjiang forces would barely be enough."

At 9:30, Jiang Yuan called everyone to a meeting in the conference room.

Once everyone was assembled, Jiang Yuan directly announced, "Preliminary preparations have been made, and I am here to thank everyone for their cooperation. The operation is tentatively scheduled for tomorrow night. Today, no one goes home, everyone stays in the department to rest."

This was also to prevent any leaks.

It was just one night, they could endure it.

During the meeting, Jiang Yuan made further assignments, and even Song Guanchao received a task.

He was primarily responsible for logistical support.

There was no other way; making arrests was the police’s job, and these secretaries were there just to bolster numbers.

They weren’t really needed for the actual operation.

Time flew by, and soon it was evening.

Apart from the police, Song Guanchao counted that the command team comprised almost a few dozen people.

Dinner was the usual ordered takeout boxes, not very tasty, but filling enough.

After dining, everyone stayed at their workstations, draped in thin blankets, which served as makeshift beds.

As the chief commander, Jiang Yuan led by example and also stayed to rest in the department.

His phone was incessant, the operation appeared simple—just making arrests.

But in reality, there were many details to arrange.

First off, they needed to arrive in Dujiang City before the operation the next day.

The biggest issue was with the Dujiang City Public Security Bureau which, while not rotten to the core, was almost there.

Besides the dozens of people on the list, there were about twenty more from within the Bureau itself.

Zhang Meilin was in charge of coordinating in Dujiang City, and to prevent the Police Department insiders from sensing anything unusual, he had specifically requested assistance from the Armed Police Department.

When the time came tomorrow night, the Armed Police would first secure the problematic officers, cutting off all their contacts.

Then, the police from Lingjiang and Jianyuan would have their vehicles assigned in advance to track individuals like Chen Guanyun.

Upon Jiang Yuan’s command, they would directly apprehend them.

Additionally, for the highway near Dujiang City, Mayor Jiang also asked colleagues from the transportation department to set up checkpoints tomorrow to prevent any mishaps or escapes.

The plan was comprehensive, and Jiang Yuan checked it over and over to ensure nothing would go wrong.

At that moment, Director Qin received a phone call.

After hanging up, he quickly walked into the office.

"Mayor Jiang, I’ve just received a call that Yao Jinsheng and Chen Guanyun are going to the airport tomorrow morning."

The office door was open, and everyone outside heard this, looking over curiously.

Jiang Yuan asked, "Where are they going?"

Director Qin replied, "One of Lu Xiaotian’s subordinates confessed that Lu Xiaotian killed two villagers in Qu City, and he buried the bodies. This trip is to find the corpses."

"Yao Jinsheng volunteered to take this task upon himself, and Chen Guanyun and Fu Ying are also accompanying him."

He added another sentence, "Director Jia has already agreed."

Mayor Jiang furrowed his brows, "What is Chen Guanyun doing there?"

Director Qin said, "Because no one went..."

"Why didn’t Director Jia send police officers?"

"The police in Dujiang City can’t be trusted."

"..."

Jiang Yuan was at a loss for words.

Dujiang City had more than twenty police officers on the arrest list this time, whereas the police from Lingjiang City and Jianyuan City had already been assigned tasks.

Director Jia only brought two people with him this time.

Now that they needed to go out of town to search for a body, they really couldn’t spare any manpower.

Chen Guanyun’s primary reason for going was that the case involved a homicide, and he needed to coordinate with the local police.

Jiang Yuan’s first reaction was, no problem.

But then he remembered that when Hou Wen had escaped before, no one had noticed anything wrong.

He had also booked his plane tickets in advance but nobody expected that he had already booked another ticket to leave the country under a different identity.

However, this time, with Fu Ying accompanying them, it would not be easy for them to run away.

Jiang Yuan asked, "When will they come back?"

"If everything goes well, they should be back the day after tomorrow."

"Have you contacted the local police?"

"I have already contacted them, and the local police will accompany them to search for the body."

Jiang Yuan thought for a few seconds, then said, "Please ask Secretary Song and Secretary Sun to come in."

Director Qin found the two, "Mayor Jiang is looking for you."

They had already heard from outside.

As for what he wanted, they could guess it without thinking.

They guessed he was probably going to assign them to monitor the airport.

Jiang Yuan first explained the situation to them, then said, "Later, I will contact Chen Guanyun, and you will also follow them tomorrow."

"Your task is to follow them to Qu City."

Song Guanchao asked, "Will tomorrow’s arrest operation still continue?"

"It will continue," Jiang Yuan said. "Don’t worry, the arrest will take place at night, no one will know, neither will they. You just need to accompany them there and then be responsible for accompanying them back. Once back, I will arrange for the police to arrest them directly at the airport."

Song Guanchao thought carefully for several seconds, making sure there was no trap in the plan, and that arranging it this way was flawless.

"I have no problem."

"I also have no problem," Secretary Sun followed.

"Additionally, I will ask Miss Lin to go with you."

Secretary Sun curiously said, "Miss Lin is also going?"

Jiang Yuan smiled and said, "Chen Guanyun is the big tiger this time, capturing him naturally requires special attention."

As for tomorrow night’s operation, Zhou Qian would be enough.

Of course, the most important reason was that Chen Guanyun and his men had never met Lin Wanqiu.

And Zhou Qian was well-known in Lingjiang.

Her sudden appearance could make Chen Guanyun and Yao Jinsheng suspicious.

After the two left the office, Lin Wanqiu entered, and Jiang Yuan briefed her on the mission.

Meanwhile.

In Dujiang City, outside the detention center, a very inconspicuous sedan was parked.

Yao Jinsheng and Chen Guanyun, one cigarette after another in their hands.

Yao Jinsheng asked, "Are you sure the city will call?"

"Not sure."

"..."

If I’m not sure, why the hell am I staying here with you in the middle of the night!

Taking a deep breath, Yao Jinsheng asked, "If they don’t call, will there still be action tonight?"

Zhang Meilin said, "Whether they call or not, it doesn’t interfere with tonight’s business."

Just as he finished speaking, a cellphone rang.

Hearing the vibration, Yao Jinsheng looked over, Director Jia was calling.

He exclaimed in surprise, "They really did call."
