Sending the Groom to Jail on My Ex-Girlfriend's Wedding

Chapter 17: What Are You Thinking? Do You Really Think All Criminals Are Together?_1

After hearing the banter from the officers under him, Old Mai promptly slapped the table.

"Don't stand around chattering, hurry up and go. Two of you, go see what's going on."

"The information has already been sent. Are you not planning to go?"

Upon hearing this, the officers who were previously complaining immediately stood up and headed out.

Of course, they had to go.

Didn't headquarters already issue the orders?

However, when they got there, they found Su Xuan and his group were already heading toward their police station, holding onto someone.

Judging by the situation, they didn't seem to need any assistance.

The officers were astonished.

They quickly approached, looking at Zhou Qiang with confusion and asking, "Old Zhou, what's going on here?"

"Who is this person?"

Zhou Qiang grinned proudly and slapped Su Xuan's shoulder.

"You guys have no idea, we've caught another fugitive this time!"

"And this fugitive is a grade-A fugitive who's been on the run for three years!"

"How about that? I just announced it on the public channel. Pretty impressive, right?"

"If Old Mai hears about this, he'd probably be overjoyed."

After this statement, Zhou Qiang and his group arrived at the police station.

The officers who had come to welcome them wore shocked expressions. Upon hearing Zhou Qiang's words, they were left speechless.

"Damn, what are you thinking? Another grade-A fugitive?"

"Do you really think catching a fugitive is that simple?"

One of the officers spoke up, his expression rather unsightly.

"Although you've caught a fugitive, it doesn't mean you can catch many."

"Careful what you say. What if Old Mai really believes it? What then?"

Just then, Old Mai had approached.

Upon hearing this sentence, he asked, "What am I supposed to do now that I've just started to believe in something?"

Upon hearing this, the officer's face immediately darkened.

Zhou Qiang, however, wasn't worried at all. He directly spoke up, "Chief, you're here. Take a look at who this is."

"Zhao Dongqiang!"

"The one who wiped out an entire village three years ago. Today, Su Xuan happened to catch him."

...

Because of Zhou Qiang's earlier message on the public channel, Old Mai hadn't turned off his intercom when he arrived.

At this moment, all officers with radios on public channels, including other station chiefs, heard Zhou Qiang's words.

They had gathered in the county today due to the astonishing news that Jiangcheng Police Station had caught a fugitive. Now, upon hearing Zhou Qiang's words, they were immediately rendered speechless.

"Come on, Old Mai, do you have to boast without even a draft? You've just caught one criminal, and now another?"

"What's going on? Do these criminals come in groups now?"

"Another grade-A fugitive... do you even know who Zhao Dongqiang is?"

"If Zhao Dongqiang could be caught so easily, he wouldn't have become a grade-A fugitive."

"Old Mai, you really need to reorganize your police station. Just look at the nonsense your officers are saying..."

...

As Zhou Qiang's voice trailed off, a wave of criticism and mockery began.

The other station chiefs had gathered, and none of them believed that Old Mai would be so lucky as to catch one fugitive on the run, let alone two. Did he really think fugitives came in groups?

This moment left Old Mai with a flushed face of anger.

Immediately, he spoke on the public channel:

"Alright, alright, can't you guys speak like civilized people? So what if I've caught another fugitive? Who told me that my subordinates can't get things done?"

"Oh my, these days are truly exhausting. Just finished interrogating one fugitive, and here comes another one. It's been quite a tiring..."

Old Mai proclaimed loudly, his face brimming with pride.

Before today, his station hadn't accomplished anything; he'd even been shown up by his archrival. He had been feeling quite stifled by the situation.

Now, his subordinates had achieved something. They had suddenly apprehended two fugitives.

Those who usually opposed him or disliked him were all popping out one by one.

They thought he was lying and were merely jealous.

Hmph.

The more Old Mai thought about it, the prouder he became. He then carefully examined Zhao Dongqiang's face. With his memory, he naturally remembered what the fugitive looked like.

After confirming the person's identity, Old Mai smiled smugly.

"However, you all have it wrong this time. My officers are like natural geniuses. They casually catch any criminal and it just happens to be a major fugitive who's been on the run for three years..."

As Old Mai spoke, he was clearly showing off to others.

When this statement came out, the officers on the public channel were all dumbfounded.

No one would believe that a police station chief would lie on the public channel.

So...

Could it be that they had truly apprehended another murderer on the run?

In these times, encountering even one fugitive was difficult, let alone the fact that Jiangcheng Police Station had apprehended two murderers and both of them were A-class fugitives...

What day was it today?

How did Jiangcheng Police Station manage to get so lucky with everything?

The chiefs of the other police stations still found it hard to believe. Especially Zhao Xiong, the chief of the Qianxi District Police Station, he was truly incredulous:

"What!? Old Mai, did you really catch another one!?"

"Did you eat a koi today? Your luck is this good?"

This sudden outburst on the public channel shook everyone, especially Old Mai, who was more smug than ever.

With Zhao Xiong's inquiry, the other station chiefs began to realize the situation. They stuttered as they spoke.

"Old Mai, you can't just say things like that casually."

"This is still the public channel. The chief is going to be picking up the prisoner later..."

"This is Zhao Dongqiang, right? Wasn't he always chasing human traffickers? Why is he here now..."

"Moreover, he's armed. Without armed police, how did you manage to capture him?"

"Old Mai, are you sure you didn't make a mistake? Take another look!"

Several station chiefs had entered their positions at the same time as Old Mai. Having held the chief position for so many years, they had formed a bond.

They didn't want Old Mai to exhaust himself over this matter. If he fabricated things and ended up losing his position, it would be a miserable outcome...

Even the leadership of the county public security bureau was astonished.

They had just taken away a A-class fugitive from the police station, and now they'd captured another one right afterward?

This did sound somewhat...

Shocking.

"Old Mai, are you sure what you said is true? If so, I'll come over now."

"Please confirm again. Did you really catch the A-class wanted criminal, Zhao Dongqiang?"

Hearing the Director of the Public Security Bureau speak, Old Mai's expression immediately became serious. He said in a serious tone,"Chief, we have confirmed the identity of the criminal. It is confirmed that he is Zhao Dongqiang, who was on the run three years ago."

"We found a dagger on him and a turbine pistol that was stolen back then!"
