Chapter 601: Chapter 601: Capturing Two Alive
This way, the possibility of the entire operation being exposed is reduced to a minimum.
Although everyone didn’t quite understand why Qin Yong arranged for Lu Chuan, a non-combatant, to join the operation,
considering Lu Chuan’s skills and his case-solving abilities over the past two years, no one said anything.
Lu Chuan had no objections to this, as he had been involved in the entire investigation process of the case.
Moreover, Lu Chuan was well aware that for Qin Yong, the current investigative strength was somewhat weak, as he didn’t know who to trust.
In Qin Yong’s view, Lu Chuan and Zhang Hui were the only two people he could currently trust.
Qin Yong had witnessed Zhang Hui’s entire growth process since he joined the police force.
Furthermore, he grew under Ren Qiang, so his character and abilities wouldn’t be lacking.
In fact, Ren Qiang would have been a better choice, experienced and steady.
But now that Ren Qiang is the deputy captain of the Criminal Investigation Team, if he makes a move, the other side might guess that there’s a big operation planned.
Therefore, Qin Yong arranged for Zhang Hui and Lu Chuan to lead the operation this time.
Although Lu Chuan had never participated in such secret operations before, Qin Yong gave him detailed instructions before departure.
After memorizing everything, Lu Chuan armed himself and his team to prepare for departure.
To cooperate with the drug enforcement team’s operation, of course, they had to be fully armed.
There was nothing more to be said about this, and no one doubted anything.
Just as Qin Yong anticipated, his smoke screen indeed worked.
In an office of the Criminal Investigation Team.
"Old Liu, it’s me."
"Have you been busy these past two days?"
"Cut the crap, we’ve just been notified, we’re about to coordinate with your team for a joint operation..."
"Oh? You just got the notification too?"
"Do you know what the operation is? The confidentiality is kept so well?"
"I’m not going this time, the young ones are leading..."
After hanging up the phone, the person leaned back in the chair, thought for a moment, and eventually didn’t take out the other phone from the drawer.
That side has nothing to do with drug enforcement, and his task isn’t to keep an eye on that side.
Since it’s not related to the sanatorium, there’s no need to pass on any messages.
In a lavishly decorated office in a building in Haizhou City.
A middle-aged man should have been sitting in the boss’s chair, but he stood respectfully making a phone call.
"Boss, everything is arranged. Yes, the operation on that side is a drug enforcement one."
"Yes... that’s right, you can proceed now."
"Yes!"
After hanging up the phone, the man carefully wiped the fine sweat on his forehead.
Communicating with that big shot... was too stressful.
Meanwhile, at Beishan Hospital.
The once-abandoned operating room was brightly lit, and a group of people had already started to get busy.
At this moment, Lu Chuan and his convoy had already departed from the Criminal Investigation Team’s courtyard.
"Brother Chuan, where are we going?"
"Jianguo Road."
Lu Chuan didn’t directly reveal the destination of Beishan Hospital but first instructed the convoy to head toward the Northern Suburban Ring Road.
This was something Qin Yong had instructed Lu Chuan beforehand, to notify the driver of the destination step by step when leading the convoy.
Once at one location, then tell them the next destination.
This way, they could ensure the secrecy of the operation to the greatest extent before reaching the actual destination.
The driver was a seasoned veteran of more than ten years.
He naturally knew what to ask and what not to; if the leader said to drive somewhere, that’s where he’d drive.
The sirens were turned on, racing all the way.
In fact, all the individuals participating in the operation had already turned in their phones, so theoretically, the chances of a leak were slim. But to be safe, they still used a double protection plan before every operation.
The specific destination of this operation was only known to Lu Chuan and Zhang Hui.
After reaching Jianguo Road, Lu Chuan instructed again, "Head to the Northern Suburban Ring Road."
"Alright!"
Once the convoy reached the Northern Suburban Ring Road, Lu Chuan issued another order.
"Everyone get ready, prepare for combat!"
"Turn off the police lights and sirens on all vehicles."
On the Northern Suburban Ring Road, the cars sped towards Beishan Hospital.
The other side choosing the final location as Beishan Hospital was, in fact, helping the Criminal Investigation Team to some extent.
Because if the other side was in a place like the Thousand-Year Sanatorium, the Criminal Investigation Team would need a search warrant to take action.
Dealing with a search warrant would definitely not escape the other side’s watchful eyes.
And without a search warrant, no large-scale operations could take place, only some specific surveillance.
But Beishan Hospital was different; since it was abandoned, no search warrant was needed.
Ten minutes later, three police cars were already parked at the entrance of Beishan Hospital.
With sharp eyes, Lu Chuan immediately noticed sparks at the entrance.
Someone was smoking.
Clearly, they had someone on lookout.
Upon seeing the police cars, they darted into the hospital.
"Chase!"
At this moment, Lu Chuan decisively ordered, and everyone, fully armed, rushed toward the hospital entrance.
"The police are here!"
"The police are here!"
Two people in front ran while shouting into walkie-talkies that the police were coming.
A dozen or so police officers were in pursuit, but the other side had decent physical condition, so catching up immediately was unlikely.
As for opening fire...
Don’t be ridiculous.
Lu Chuan only knew from Wang Nana that there was a chance Chen Degao and others had been moved to Beishan Hospital.
But there was no concrete evidence, and nobody knew what crimes the other side had committed.
So they couldn’t recklessly open fire, something Lu Chuan had already instructed before the operation.
This was the most important thing Qin Yong had emphasized to Lu Chuan.
Unless absolutely necessary, do not open fire unless the other side has deadly weapons.
In this situation, Lu Chuan couldn’t just watch them run inside to inform others.
So, he exerted force with his legs, significantly increasing his speed.
From a side view, one would notice that Lu Chuan, who was already at the forefront of the police squad, suddenly accelerated as if his legs were motorized.
Within three breaths, he caught up with the two people running away in front.
Thud!
A sweeping kick, and both people were taken down.
"Where are they?"
Having been knocked down at high speed, the two nearly passed out.
They couldn’t respond to Lu Chuan’s question.
Moreover, even if they knew, they probably wouldn’t divulge it.
Lu Chuan snorted coldly but didn’t care.
Beishan Hospital was just so big; they could simply search it.
Since the other side stationed two lookouts here, something must be going on inside, confirming that his chosen location was correct.
As long as the location was correct, all was well!
"Leave two people behind and cuff them!"
"The rest, follow me!"
By this time, everyone had gathered in the hospital’s first-floor lobby.
Lu Chuan wasted no time; at this point, speed was of essence: "Search in pairs!"
"Report any situation via police communication device promptly."
"Yes!"
