Chapter 15: Case solved, application for shotgun approved?

Hook Nose shone over with a flashlight.

This wild wolf's hair is obviously darker than other wolves, with only a tuft of white hair on its belly.

The wolves have fierce eyes, and the men are even more so.

"I just regretted that I only kicked you once and let you run away. I didn't expect that you, a beast, would come to me on your own initiative."

Hook-nosed Man picked up his rifle, not caring whether the sound of the gunshot would alarm the people down the mountain, and thought about killing the beast and then going down the mountain immediately.

When he pulled the trigger, a tragic wail sounded in the cave.

“There’s gunfire!”

Not far away, Su Ran and a group of police officers looked in the direction where the gunshots came from.

Just now, Dahei suddenly sped up and ran away. I was planning to look for it, but unexpectedly someone shot it.

The SWAT team members began to rush towards the upstream of the creek. When they surrounded the cave entrance and approached inside, they found four tomb robbers lying in the cave, holding their bodies and wailing.

After the SWAT team members controlled the four people, Yang Shulin stepped forward and pulled open their clothes: "These are animal bite marks. It seems that these guys were bitten by a dog."

"Go to hell, you were bitten by a dog!" The man in the baseball cap grimaced in pain.

Yang Shulin shouted, "Be quiet. Tell me, are all the people here?!"

The four tomb robbers shut their mouths stubbornly, intending to be tough.

Sun Youquan walked over from outside: "One escaped, the SWAT went after him."

Hooknose had great difficulty running alone because of a previous leg injury.

The wild wolves and special police were chasing him relentlessly.

He didn't run far before he fell down.

At this time, outside the cave, Su Ran saw the special police walking towards him with Hooked Nose in custody.

Dahei was also following, along with his two police dog brothers.

The SWAT guy considerately put a balaclava on Su Ran.

In the cave, Yang Shulin gathered the group of people and the stolen goods together and asked, "Are all the things here?"

Seeing that he was in trouble, the hook-nosed man pretended to be dejected and said, "We are unlucky to be caught by you. The things are all here. You can sentence us however you want."

"Humph."

Yang Shulin and Sun Youquan both snorted coldly.

Sun Youquan took out a photo from his pocket and compared it with the hooked nose, saying, "Old Dog, the third of the core members of the tomb-robbing group, do you really think we don't have any clues?"

The hook-nosed man's expression suddenly turned cold: "How did you know?!"

"Of course I got it out of Zhou Jiantao, but he was stubborn and refused to tell me where the thing was hidden."

Yang Shulin took the list of antiques from the police officer and sneered, "But this doesn't mean we haven't investigated clearly what the hidden burial objects are."

"You'd better tell me the truth. Where is the missing Pisces pendant?"

Long before he escaped, Lao Gou had already hidden the Pisces pendant. It was his capital for a comeback after he was released from prison, so naturally he was unwilling to disclose it.

"I don't understand what you are talking about. There is no Pisces pendant here."

Just as the old dog was stubborn, Su Ran came in from outside and looked around at everyone with a smile: "Excuse me, leaders, who dropped this lighter?"

The old dog's eyes were wide open.

Isn’t this the lighter that I hid together with the jade pendant?

The situation was urgent just now, and Lao Gou put the jade pendant in his pocket and ran away. Who knew it was the same pocket where the lighter was placed.

When he hurriedly hid the jade pendant, he hid the lighter as well.

The old dog now wants to kill the fat guy next to him!
but……

This guy probably didn’t find the jade pendant, right?
Su Ran: "Oh, by the way, I also picked up a treasure."

Looking at the shining Pisces pendant on Su Ran's hand, Yang Shulin was overjoyed and asked Lao Gou, "What else do you have to say?"

……

Su Ran saw the lighter through the system prompt and happened to find the jade pendant.

When Yang Shulin asked him about it, he just said that it was Dahei's credit.

The eastern sky gradually turned pale, and the night slowly faded away, replaced by a faint orange-yellow hue.

The forest in the early morning was covered with rain and mist. Grandpa brought a pot of hot water to the police officers who were returning to the team outside the yard.

Su Ran was eating the breakfast prepared by his grandfather and chatting with a SWAT guy next to the flashing police car.

"My friend, that's a wolf, right?"

"Who? You mean Dahei?"

"correct."

"You must be mistaken. That's a dog."

"Is it a dog? Don't scare my fellow countryman."

"How can I, a law-abiding, patriotic and enthusiastic citizen, deceive people?"

Special police brother: ()
The group of tomb robbers were taken to the riot vehicle and the two men stopped chatting.

At this time, Yang Shulin and Sun Youquan came over, talking and laughing, their steps were as confident as they could be.

"Brother Xiaoran, you really made a great contribution this time."

"How big is it?" Su Ran asked.

Yang Shulin smiled and said, "I won't say anything else. We just interrogated this old dog and learned a lot about the tomb-robbing group. He is also willing to cooperate with us to take down the group later."

"If we can really wipe out this criminal group, it will mean we have solved a major case in the province."

"Brother Xiaoran, not only will your bonus come right away, but it will be a lot more!"

What?
Is the bonus bigger than before?

Su Ran didn't know whether he should be happy or not.

It seems that they said before that the prize money would only be 30,000, and if it’s a little more, it would be 50,000?
If it were to happen before it was released, Su Ran would probably jump for joy.

But now...

He might be able to earn fifty thousand in just a few days.

However, for Su Ran, tens of thousands are not too much, and a few thousand are not too little. Some is better than nothing.

Whether it is the Daqing Police Station or the county's Criminal Investigation Brigade.

After getting hold of the clue about the old dog, the case became clearer and they would certainly not waste time in arresting him.

The local county public security bureau organized personnel overnight.

A total of 300 police officers were dispatched.

Based on the clues provided by Lao Gou, the second-in-command of the tomb-robbing group was captured in the presidential suite of a hotel in the city.

Based on the information provided by the other party, they successfully grasped the current location of the group leader.

The leader of the group, named Zhou Huafang, was in the south at the time completing a transaction of antique funerary objects worth 100 million yuan with a foreign antique dealer.

When he was about to return to his lair, he was caught by the police at the airport.

As for the foreign antique dealer, he was also arrested by the police who were waiting at the customs.

The leader of the group was arrested and he gave out the names of nearly 70 gang members who had expanded to tomb-robbing locations across the country.

After losing their backbone, these little Karamis fled and scattered.

In the end, he could not avoid being caught.

Su Ran saw in the news that the public security organs smashed this criminal group and confiscated antique collections with a total value of over 300 million yuan, as well as 1 billion yuan in illegal proceeds from the sale of cultural relics.

Most of the confiscated cultural relics were antiques from the Tang and Song dynasties that had just been unearthed and had not yet been sold.

As for the 97 Chinese cultural relics worth ten billion that were lost overseas, it would be difficult to recover them in a short time.

"It took less than three days to catch all of them."

"But why do I feel so bad when I read this news?"

The ten billion was not just a string of numbers. In Su Ran's eyes, they were real antique artifacts.

These cultural relics are evidence that can prove the legacy of Chinese history. They tell us that the Chinese nation has a long history and splendid culture.

It also witnessed the rise and fall, honor and disgrace of the Chinese nation.

When Su Ran was looking out the window, the phone suddenly rang.

"Hello, I'm Zhou Dafu. Su Ran, I found the hunting rifle your grandfather applied for you."
