I'm the Culinary God

Ren Jie sent a message, and a person with the code name Ru Yunlong in the group replied:

"Deploy drones, confirm the location of the casino, arrest team get ready."

Originally, it was just a reconnaissance to see if they could catch that sneakier-than-Loach, Cao Liu.

Unexpectedly, things went surprisingly smoothly. If they manage to get him red-handed, even if Cao Liu has protection, he’ll have to obediently go in to work on the sewing machine.

Chen Yan leaned over for a look and curiously asked:

"Ru Yunlong Gongsun Sheng? You guys are quite interesting, using characters from Water Margin as code names."

Ren Jie laughed and said:

"This is internal communication software, directly transplanted from anonymous chat models. I guess this Ru Yunlong isn’t Grandpa Sun but actually the real commander for this operation."

Chen Yan became a bit more curious:

"What’s your code name?"

"Nine-Striped Dragon... Yanyan, what does Nine-Striped Dragon represent in Liang Mountain?"

"It represents a hot-headed person, somewhat idealistic, but in the end, gets beaten by society... The sequence of character appearances in Water Margin is very particular. The first one to appear is Shi Jin, who is always the typical representation of one who talks a lot but accomplishes little... This probably tells the members of the group that you’re a newcomer."

Ren Jie originally thought the names were random, but didn’t expect such an explanation.

Thinking about the upcoming arrest operation, he told Chen Yan:

"Yanyan, wait in the car later, don’t follow us inside... This Cao Liu eats on both sides, black and white, the police have been keeping an eye on him for a long time but haven’t found evidence of any crimes, he might be very tricky."

"Okay, but since Cao Liu has someone backing him, won’t his backer retaliate against you?"

She had thought that today would just be about staying here to observe for a while, but unexpectedly encountered the crime suspect directly, which made Chen Yan excited yet slightly worried.

Ren Jie laughed and said:

"Probably not, I’m just a minor character in this case, and the participants in this case don’t know each other’s identities, even if they wanted to retaliate they wouldn’t know how."

It’s estimated that old Master Sun and the others chose this anonymous method to communicate to guard against this situation.

After the case ends, the group disbands, everything is wiped clean, the other party won’t be able to find anyone even if they wanted to.

Besides, if Cao Liu reveals his backer during interrogation, wouldn’t it directly lead to catching a few big shots?

Today such a big operation to catch Cao Liu is probably intended to catch big fish, otherwise, a small fry running an underground casino wouldn’t warrant such treatment.

Just as he was thinking, a group member with the code name [Pufftheaster] sent a message:

"Location locked, turn left at the second crossroads into the village, the first alley on the right hand side, fourth house... The house is big, has a back door and a few large wolves in the yard, not tied up."

[Featherless Arrow] said:

"In that case, let’s arrest. Does Shi Jin have a gun?"

Ren Jie was still not quite used to his identity in the group, he hesitated for a moment, just about to reply no gun when the group member [Vegetable Garden] said:

"There’s a handgun in the fish keeper bag in the car trunk, take it."

Chen Yan glanced and looked very surprised:

"Grandpa Sun actually is Zhang Qing the Vegetable Garden, doesn’t that make Granny Sun the She-Vixen? If Granny Sun knows, won’t she whip him."

Ren Jie opened the car door, got out, opened the trunk, and indeed saw a round fish keeper bag.

Pulled the zipper off the fish keeper, a handgun and two magazines lying quietly on top.

He looked around to confirm no one was around, then took the handgun.

He first removed the magazine to have a look, confirmed it was full, then re-inserted the magazine, tucked the handgun into his waist, and put the spare magazines into his jacket.

Just about to close the door, he noticed a black three-hole balaclava that only exposed the mouth and eyes in the side pocket of the fish keeper.

These balaclavas, popular in CS, the police generally wear them during confidentiality operations, can prevent recognition and subsequent retaliation.

Grandpa Sun is really meticulous... Ren Jie muttered, stuffed the balaclava into his pocket, then closed the trunk, returned to the car, and drove towards the village.

At this point, not far away in the farmland path, a swaying Iveco was driving over from the neighboring village.

The car window was covered with pitch-black anti-shatter film, completely blocking the view inside.

[Featherless Arrow] sent another message to the group:

"My men are about to be in place, Double Guns General, take your men to encircle from the other end of the village, Pufftheaster, use drones to guide everyone."

With the advancement of technology, the police capturing people are gradually using high-tech equipment.

Drone-guided reconnaissance is common practice now.

If necessary, they can even directly listen to all communications in a specific area.

The car entered the village, at the second crossroads, immediately right turn and parked on the side, door opened, a group of special police wearing matching three-hole balaclavas and black training suits got out and charged into the alley.

Seeing this situation, Ren Jie immediately put the balaclava on his head, opened the car door, and followed the small squad of special police into the alley.

Chen Yan watched this scene, feeling both thrilling and exciting.

But at this moment the car was in the middle of the road, in order not to hinder the village traffic, she climbed from the passenger seat to the driver’s seat, restarted the car, and slowly pulled over.

Just parked the car again, felt parking in front of someone’s door wasn’t appropriate.

So she restarted the car again, planning to park near the alley entrance, so her own Nine-Striped Dragon could directly get in the car and leave.
