Chapter 8: They’re Here! Find the Hiding Spot of the A-Class Fugitive!

A fugitive who has blood on their hands is truly a desperate outlaw, like a frightened bird with a broken bow. Even the slightest abnormality can cause the two fugitives hiding to panic and flee, disappearing without a trace. Because once caught, it’s as trivial as catching a peanut.

This is clear from the fact that Luo Zhen, who was dispatched for the transaction, was still leisurely strolling down the pedestrian street, not receiving any orders to return. It shows that he wasn’t detected by the police. Once they were sure they hadn’t been noticed, the two fugitives would become even more cautious. However, once their location is exposed, they would turn into… desperate criminals capable of anything.

Therefore, the reason why Su Ming hung up the phone earlier was to use the technique of “baiting the trap,” to completely relax the fugitives’ vigilance. Su Ming had used this technique so many times in simulated cases over the years that he was quite skilled at it.

Sitting in the back seat, Old Chen, after thinking about Su Ming’s actions for a few seconds, couldn’t help but sigh.

“Not bad.”

“This is a clever counter-logical move.”

“In the usual fugitive scenario, when the ‘Skinny Dog’ ignored the call multiple times, it would likely suggest he was under police control.”

“But this time, when he picked up, it clearly suggests the possibility that Skinny Dog might be cooperating with the police.”

“So, once contact was made, if there was no disguise and the first thing to ask was about the follow-up transaction or location, it would definitely alert the fugitives, causing them to panic and run.”

“But by proactively hanging up the phone, the suspicion is entirely dispelled.”

“After all…”

“In the fugitive’s mind, a normal cop wouldn’t hang up the phone if they wanted to catch them!”

“Impressive. The way he handled this detail…”

Before he could finish, Old Chen quickly stopped speaking.

Because Su Ming had already answered the call that had come through immediately.

He set it on speakerphone and imitated Skinny Dog’s voice, sounding extremely impatient.

“Do you want to die or what?”

“I already told you, I’m enjoying myself right now, what the hell do you want with a call?!”

Su Ming’s rough and irritable tone didn’t anger the two fugitives. Instead, it made them feel even more at ease.

“Brother Dog, don’t worry, don’t worry.”

“If I didn’t have a big deal, how would I dare to disturb you while you’re having fun?”

“It’s just that I have a big deal, something urgent!”

Su Ming smirked.

“A big deal? You’re probably just itching to double-cross me, huh?”

“A big deal?”

“What the hell big deal do you have? The five batches just now should keep you busy for a long time.”

“Don’t bother me… or else you’ll regret it!!”

To further enhance the credibility, Su Ming even pretended to be disoriented from drug use, speaking in crude, street thug-like language.

On the other end of the phone, the voice seemed more excited, urging him.

“Brother Dog, Brother Dog, it really is a big deal!”

“You should be able to tell, I’m not a local from the Magic City, I came all the way from Ji Province to buy goods!”

“Those five hands earlier were just a test to see if Brother Dog’s goods were pure.”

“Now that I’ve seen it, Brother Dog, you really are the number one guy in Magic City, the goods are definitely top-notch, so I plan to buy more and take them back to Ji Province to make a profit!”

“Brother Dog, what do you think…?”

“Is there any extra two blocks of quantity? Can you spare it for your little brother?”

Meanwhile, Xu Changsheng lightly opened the car door and gave Su Ming and the others an ‘OK’ hand gesture.

This meant that…

The technical department of the Criminal Investigation Brigade had already used the phone number to confirm the approximate location of the two hidden fugitives.

Next, they just had to see where the fugitives would choose to make the transaction and if it matched the location identified by the technical department!

Su Ming squinted his eyes, purposely pausing for two seconds before continuing.

“Two blocks?”

“One block is 250 grams, two blocks is one kilogram. You little bastard, can you handle so much white powder?”

“Are you a cop, here to lure me out?”

“Two Blocks?”

“If I get caught, I won’t even get the chance to go to the labour camp”.

This outburst mixed with underground slang made Xu Changsheng, who was standing beside him, raise an eyebrow. He was first puzzled, then sighed in relief.

He was wondering where Su Ming had learned all these special skills. His skills were comparable to that of a criminal genius. Lockpicking, voice modulation, psychological manipulation, etc., things that police schools don’t teach!

But seeing Su Ming’s police uniform, Xu Changsheng’s doubts and confusion vanished instantly.

No matter where Su Ming learned these strange skills, as long as he wore the official police uniform, that was enough!

The phone on speaker rang again, and the fugitive’s voice came through.

“How could it be, Brother Dog!”

“How could I be a cop? If I were sent by the cops to set you up, why would I still be calling you? You tell me!”

“The reason I need to buy two more Blocks is just to make a little extra!”

“Brother Dog, you’re the boss in Magic City, we outsiders definitely wouldn’t dare to mess with you!”

“So, Brother Dog, what do you think? Are you in for this deal?”

Su Ming’s lips curled up slightly.

He knew that the other side had completely fallen into his rhythm.

“As long as you’re not a cop setting me up, I’ll definitely take this deal.”

“You guys are smart. In Magic City, if you want to ask who can do or dare to handle this two Blocks, there’s no one but me, Skinny Dog!”

“But…”

“Do you know how much two whole Blocks cost? Can you handle it?”

Thinking they had hooked Skinny Dog, the two fugitives didn’t hesitate for a moment.

“Don’t worry, Brother Dog!”

“We came all the way from Ji Province to do big business, don’t worry about us handling it!”

“However…”

“Since the amount is large, we’re worried about you, the local boss, so we’ll provide the transaction location. We’ll choose…”

“How about the abandoned Hengsu factory on the outskirts of Dong Ning District in Magic City?”

“This amount definitely isn’t suitable for a busy area, it needs to be somewhere more remote. We’ve checked, no one should pass by, so it’s safe to trade!”

“Brother Dog, you can bring one or two more people, we don’t mind.”

“After all…”

“This business is for the long run, right? You wouldn’t just be eyeing the money right in front of you, would you?”

The abandoned Hengsu factory on the outskirts of East Ning District!

Hearing the location, Su Ming immediately looked at Xu Changsheng, signaling with his eyes to confirm if it matched the location the Criminal Investigation Brigade’s technical team had identified.

Xu Changsheng didn’t make any extra movements, just nodded lightly.

After receiving confirmation, Su Ming again adopted an impatient tone, as if reluctantly saying.

“Fine, we’ll do it your way.”

“You little bastards, still worried I, Skinny Dog, would double-cross you.”

“For all these years, people in Magic City know that I, Skinny Dog, sell the purest goods, even if I end up in the labour camp, I’ll never betray a single brother!”

“Enough said.”

“Wait for me at the factory. Once I’m done having fun, I’ll bring the two Blocks!”

After saying that, Su Ming didn’t hesitate for a moment and immediately hung up the phone.
