Chapter 71: Inviting the Police to Witness Qu Pengfei’s Confession, the Arrogant Drug Trafficking Organization!

“Raising the puppy~ Raising this puppy~”

Seeing her daughter opening her arms, about to hug the Shiba Inu, the wife of the Skinny dog suddenly froze…

She remembered the words the Skinny dog had said to her two months ago.

If he ever got caught by the police in the future, or if strange people with odd behaviors appeared at their doorstep, or anything strange happened, she should be vigilant and not trust anyone too easily.

If she couldn’t decide what to do, she was advised to immediately call the police. She and her daughter had done nothing wrong, and the police wouldn’t trouble them; instead, they would do everything they could to protect them.

Thinking of this, the wife of the Skinny dog hurriedly pulled her three-year-old daughter, who was reaching out to the Shiba Inu, closer to herself, stepping back a few paces, keeping more distance from the dog. She then took out her phone from her pocket and dialed the police.

After two beeps, the call was answered.

The wife of the Skinny dog bit her lower lip, nervously whispering.

“Hello, is this 110?”

…

At this moment, several police cars sped out of the Huaihai Criminal Investigation Team, all heading towards the remote Sheng Tian Village in the suburbs to carry out the arrest operation for Qu Pengfei.

Upon receiving the order to assist, the local law enforcement officers immediately sealed off the major exits of Sheng Tian Village and took up positions near the old house to prevent Qu Pengfei from escaping after realizing he was cornered.

However, due to the alleys in front of the old house and the uncertainty about whether Qu Pengfei, now involved with the large drug trafficking organization, might be carrying dangerous items like a handgun, they refrained from forcibly breaking in. Instead, they maintained a defensive perimeter, awaiting the arrival of heavily armed SWAT officers to handle the situation.

After all, during the interrogation of the Skinny dog, they learned that a member of the drug trafficking organization in Suzhou City always carried a handgun and some kind of specially made poison. They couldn’t afford to act recklessly and blindly, as it could lead to unnecessary casualties and put their comrades in danger.

…

At this moment, the sound of sirens echoed on the highway.

Xu Changsheng, showcasing his skilled driving abilities, slammed on the gas pedal and expertly handled the steering wheel, leading the way to the destination.

While controlling the wheel, he glanced at Lin Tian, who was frowning in the passenger seat, and smiled faintly.

“Master, what are you thinking about?”

“To be honest, I didn’t expect that from this case of a fall, we could find clues related to the 5.13 Shattered Body Case at Magic City University.”

“This is really good news, at least your twenty years of perseverance weren’t in vain.”

“There’s still a chance… to personally bring that vicious and cunning murderer to justice.”

Clearly, as Lin Tian’s disciple, Xu Changsheng understood that the 5.13 Shattered Body Case at Magic City University had been a lingering concern for Lin Tian for twenty years. Now that they had found a lead and could roughly confirm that the killer was still alive, it was undoubtedly the best news.

However, Lin Tian wasn’t as optimistic as Xu Changsheng. He still furrowed his brow, shaking his head.

“It can be considered good news, but it has almost no value for solving the case.”

“Not to mention…”

“This involves a huge drug trafficking organization, or perhaps calling it a cartel would be more appropriate.”

“Now, whether we’re solving the 5.13 Shattered Body Case or trying to uncover the roots of this massive drug cartel, we must rely on Qu Pengfei as our lead.”

“Although he hasn’t passed the assessment, Qu Pengfei’s understanding of that organization is undoubtedly far beyond what we can imagine.”

“So, I’m worried…”

“What if we get there and it’s too late? What if that lead has already been cut off by other members of the drug cartel?”

“After all…”

“All those who were exposed but failed the assessment were secretly dealt with, which is why this large drug cartel has only now been uncovered.”

At this point, Lin Tian’s brow furrowed even deeper, and he continued with more concern.

“No! We must quickly confirm whether Qu Pengfei is still at the old house.”

“If he is, we need to determine whether he is in danger. The sooner we confirm these things, the higher the chance of solving these cases thoroughly.”

At this moment, Lin Tian turned to Xu Changsheng, who was driving, and suddenly made a decisive call.

“Asheng.”

“Contact the current head of the Sheng Tian Village police station and the officers there immediately.”

“Have them, while ensuring their safety, look for an opportunity to break in or use other methods to confirm Qu Pengfei’s status and safety.”

“We can’t wait any longer. I’m afraid there might be other problems.”

For twenty years, from being a police academy intern to becoming the head of the Criminal Investigation Team, Lin Tian had handled and solved numerous cases. His experience and instincts were at their peak.

Therefore, he immediately concluded that…

Determining Qu Pengfei’s current status was the most important task.

Upon hearing Lin Tian’s words, Xu Changsheng wasted no time. He immediately put on his specialized earpiece and began communicating.

Lin Tian looked at Su Ming, who was sitting in the backseat, and asked with a frown, “Xiao Ming.”

“You’ve gone through the case files earlier. Do you remember…”

“When did we first start discovering high-purity heroin being sold during our nationwide anti-drug operations?”

“Five years ago.” Without needing to think too hard, Su Ming’s outstanding memory immediately answered Lin Tian’s question and continued.

“It was first discovered in Luzhou City five years ago, and it gradually spread with various types of high-purity drugs.”

Upon hearing this answer, Lin Tian squinted sharply, then slightly puzzled, asked.

“Five years ago?”

“So that means… the drug trafficking organization was likely founded around that time.”

“Moreover, unsolved cases in other cities also started cropping up around that time, and the gap between them isn’t particularly long.”

“But the 5.13 Shattered Body Case happened twenty years ago. Why is it still recorded on that so-called website?”

“Also, before Qu Pengfei appeared, there were no high-purity drugs being sold in Magic City. It was as if someone deliberately gave up such a large market.”

“Does this imply that…”

“The killer of the 5.13 Shattered Body Case is no longer in Magic City?”

“Or… maybe the killer is the founder of this drug cartel? That’s why it was only recorded on the dark web…”

Before Lin Tian could finish speaking, Xu Changsheng suddenly swerved the car to the side and slammed on the brakes. He pressed the earpiece to his ear and seriously asked.

“What?”

“Are you sure? Can you confirm there are signs of life, but the person isn’t there?”

Upon hearing this, both Su Ming and Lin Tian’s expressions grew more serious.

Because they had already guessed…

Qu Pengfei was most likely no longer in the old house in Sheng Tian Village. He had likely been taken control of or completely dealt with by the drug cartel.

If that were the case, the lead would be cut off once again.

At that moment, Lin Tian’s phone rang urgently. After glancing at the number, he answered with some confusion.

Without saying a word, he simply listened to the voice on the other end. His expression grew more solemn, and he coldly said.

“Understood.”

“I’m heading there immediately.”

After hanging up, Lin Tian looked at Su Ming and Xu Changsheng and said with suppressed anger.

“Just now, the Huaihai team’s reception desk received a special emergency call from abroad.”

“In the call…”

“The caller specifically mentioned my name and instructed the operator to tell me…”

“Stop wasting time at the old house. Head straight to the Magic City Holiday Hotel inside Fantawild Amusement Park and see for yourself…”

“Qu Pengfei’s confession!!!”
