Chapter Fifty: Sudden Robbery Case

  Liu Li has been busy solving cases for some time, so he has been living in the squadron for over a month. Except for occasionally going home to change clothes, he usually eats and lives with his team members.

  As Liu Li's power grew, not only were the cattle theft gangs in Guxian County eliminated, but also the surrounding neighboring counties' police stations became much more stable thanks to Liu Li's help.

  The county public security bureau director Yu Shao Yong has been smiling all day recently, he can't help it, his mood has been too good lately, and he can't close his mouth. Liu Li's side has been reporting victories one after another, every three to five days, they crack down on a gang of thieves stealing cattle, and the municipal bureau leaders call to reward them every now and then, this is a pleasant thing for anyone.

  It's not just Yu Shao Yong, Cheng Bin has been smiling all day for the past few days. Although those cases were cracked by Liu Li, Liu Li is his man in the criminal police team. The more merits Liu Li earns, the more face Cheng Bin, as the head of the criminal police team, will gain.

  The only one who couldn't smile was Liu Wei, the team leader of the third team. He had been training at the municipal bureau for a month and a half, and when he returned to his team after the training ended, he was shocked by what Liu Li had done recently. After hearing about Liu Li's achievements, Liu Wei felt somewhat bitter.

  "He thought to himself: 'I'm doomed, my life is bitter, I've encountered a deputy who's not only stronger than me but also has a strong personality. If I'm lucky, Liu Li will go to another squadron as the squadron leader, if I'm unlucky, I'll have to step down as the squadron leader.'"

  At noon that day, Liu Li was filling out a form in the squadron when his phone suddenly rang. After looking at the number, he pressed the answer button with some surprise: "Lin Da Mei Nu, you never contact me at noon, why did you think of calling me today?"

  It turned out that the call was made by Lin Shuangshuang to Liu Li. Lin Shuangshuang told Liu Li on the phone that she and Tingting were on the street in Daxing Town, asking if Liu Li had time to come out for a trip?

  When Liu Li arrived on the streets of Daxing Town, he saw Lin Shuangshuang's Mercedes-Benz from afar. As he walked up to the car, he took Tingting out of the car and asked Lin Shuangshuang why she came directly to the squadron to find him instead of parking the car here?

  When Liu Li asked, Lin Shuangshuang lowered her head and said to him: "At the beginning, I wanted to drive you to your unit. You were worried that your colleagues would see it and misunderstand that you are... you are eating soft rice. At that time, you would rather take a taxi than let me send you."

  It's been over ten days since you last went home, and you haven't gone back even once. Tingting misses you. These past few days, as soon as it gets dark, Tingting starts making a fuss with me.

  Crying and shouting to find you, coincidentally today is the weekend, Tingting didn't go to kindergarten, played at home for a whole morning, she insisted on finding you to play, I saw that the hotel wasn't too busy either, so I brought her here to find you.

  "This time I came in a hurry, didn't change cars, after arriving here, originally wanted to go find you directly, but was worried it would affect you, let your colleagues misunderstand you, so Tingting and I just waited for you here."

  Lin Shuangshuang finished explaining, and Liu Li's heart was moved: "Hehe... you still remember this? At that time, I was just joking with you."

  Liu Li said that, Lin Shuangshuang's face showed a faint smile, and then she saw Liu Li's face was very pale, with a look of anemia, she couldn't help but ask with concern: "Your complexion doesn't look good? Do you want to go to the hospital for a check-up?"

  Upon hearing this, Liu Li shook his head with a nonchalant expression: "No need, I'm healthy as ever. It's just that there have been too many cases lately and the bloodletting has been a bit excessive, so I've got some anemia. A few days of rest will do me good."

  After finishing, Liu Li saw that Lin Shuang didn't understand the meaning behind his words, so he changed the subject: "It's almost noon, let's find a place to eat. Usually you eat all those exotic delicacies, today I'll treat you to some local farmhouse specialties."

  "Let's just go home and eat, there's no atmosphere eating here. Besides, you're a celebrity lately, if someone sees us eating together, who knows what rumors will spread tomorrow?"

  By then, Lin Shuangshuang opened the car door and smiled at Liu Li with a gesture of invitation: "Please, Officer Liu."

  "Here's a chance for you to flatter me." Laughing, he replied with a sentence, Liu Li carried Tingting onto the car.

  Just as the three of them were driving home, Liu Li's mobile phone rang. The call was from Liu Wei. After answering it, a anxious voice came from the receiver: "Liu Li, return to the team at the fastest speed."

  "Just received a report from Lanyu Town, one minute ago, a grain purchasing station in the jurisdiction of Lanyu Town was robbed by a group of masked thugs. The command center ordered our squadron to immediately go to the scene to handle the situation."

  As soon as he heard this, Liu Li didn't hesitate at all. He apologetically looked at Lin Shuangshuang and then dropped her and her mother off in front of a supermarket by the side of the road. After that, Liu Li drove Lin Shuangshuang's Mercedes-Benz to rush to the middle team.

  After returning to the team, Liu Li saw Zhang Tao and Wang Mingzhong waiting for him at the door. Liu Wei and others had already rushed to the scene ahead of time. The civilian police from all local police stations were dispatched according to the command center's scheduling to set up checkpoints and intercept suspects at intersections.

  "Deputy captain, the car you're driving is really impressive, a Mercedes-Benz! Where did you get it? Can I borrow it to take for a spin?" Liu Li got into the police car and Zhang Tao couldn't help but feel envious as he looked at the Mercedes-Benz sedan parked in front of the squadron.

  "As long as you can catch those robbers, I'll give you this car. Don't think about the car for now, think about how to crack the case instead. The captain didn't explain clearly over the phone just now, so tell me more about the situation." Liu Li asked seriously.

  After hearing this, Wang Mingzhong, who was sitting in the passenger seat, told Liu Li about the details of the case. It turned out that a few minutes ago, Liu Wei had received a report from the Lanyu Police Station about a robbery at a grain purchasing station within their jurisdiction.

  According to the victim's account, the suspect drove a black Hyundai off-road vehicle. There were four people involved in the crime. One person was driving the car, while another three wore hoods and carried weapons - one with a machete and two with handguns.

  The robbers rushed into the office of the grain purchasing station, then used a gun to press against the victim's head, letting the victim open the drawer and safe where cash was stored. Because the grain purchasing station had villagers selling grain every day, there was a large amount of cash at the victim's location.

  After hearing the gangster's request, the victim had intended to take action, but seeing that the victim's actions were slightly slow, the gangster holding the machete chopped the victim with the machete and it is said that one of the victim's ears was cut off.

  After the victim was knocked unconscious, the thugs then forced the victim's wife to find the keys to open the drawers and safe. Seeing the thugs being so ruthless, the victim's wife was shocked and had no choice but to find the keys and open the drawers and safe.

  The gangsters took away 180,000 yuan in cash from the grain purchasing station and drove away. The whole process only took about three minutes. At first, Liu Wei and others thought it was an independent robbery case.

  However, after Liu Wei reported the case to the county bureau command center, new information was obtained on the dispatching platform of the command center. When the command center fed back the message to the third squadron, it shocked Liu Wei and others.

  In the previous hour, similar cases occurred in the jurisdictions of Beipiao County, Sheng County and Huayu County, with a total of eight grain purchasing stations and four supermarkets being robbed in the three county jurisdictions.

  During this time, three victims were stabbed with knives by the thugs and one victim was shot with a handgun. According to preliminary understanding, the total amount of money robbed by these thugs has reached over 1.4 million yuan.
