Chapter 1826
Wei Li is also a member of Team Three. He could actually just give a heads-up and not have to go.
But considering Liang Jiajia is also from Team Three, since she’s going, naturally he has to go too.
He wouldn’t waste the chance to spend time together.
As for teaching Song Guanchao a lesson, he decided to put that on hold for now.
At 2 PM, members of Team Three arrived at Rongcheng Town, which is under Yuanyang City.
If Yuanyang City is populous, close to Beijing, bustling and well-equipped,
then Rongcheng Town isn’t much different from a typical township.
Because of the New Year, the town was lively, crowded, with festive atmosphere everywhere.
They parked the car by the roadside, and as soon as Wei Li got out, everyone gathered around.
Captain Yang had said on the phone that Wei Li was responsible for liaising with the local police.
After smoking two cigarettes, the city police showed up late.
As they got close, a strong smell of alcohol was noticeable.
These seconded policemen looked at each other, thinking the local police were too cocky, driving drunk even while on a case?
No one brought it up though, regardless of what they thought.
"Wei Li." Wei Li introduced himself, shaking hands with the other party.
The man had a burly build and brows furrowed into triangles: "I’m Yu Yang, just call me Brother Yu."
Yu Yang’s hand was strong, and his mouth reeked of sour alcohol breath.
Standing close, Wei Li could smell it clearly, discreetly stepping back half a step, asking: "Brother Yu, have you pinpointed the fugitive’s location?"
"If we had, you wouldn’t need to be here."
Yu Yang took out a pack of Zhonghua cigarettes, passing them around, his eyes noticeably lit when they glanced over at Liang Jiajia.
Retracting his gaze, Yu Yang said: "The bus station police discovered him first, then checked the surveillance and confirmed it was that guy."
"Since he’s back, he must be visiting his crippled old dad and foolish wife. We should keep a watch at his old home."
"We’re short staffed here, so we mainly rely on you guys."
Yu Yang smacked his lips with the cigarette, and said: "You have Yu Yang’s home address, right? Just go to his home and stake out, control him as soon as you see him, and give me a call."
A policeman couldn’t help but ask: "Officer Yu, are none of your men coming?"
Yu Yang replied: "Limited manpower, you guys will have to tough it out. Once we catch him, I’ll treat you to drinks."
Who the hell cares about your drinks.
But they caught the drift; Yu Yang talks about drinks but not credit.
If they really caught the guy, the credit would surely be his.
Thinking of this, the seconded policemen were almost swearing.
Being seconded during the New Year is one thing, now he wants to snatch the credit too.
Is this even reasonable?
Way over the line.
But since it’s his turf, even if they were unhappy, they could only swallow it.
Wei Li was much more composed, smiling as he said: "Fine, leave it to us."
He directed everyone to get back in the car, to head out soon.
With only a few people left with him and Yu Yang, he said: "Brother Yu, I checked the info Captain Yang sent. This fugitive stabbed the son of the town party committee secretary. What’s Secretary Liu’s background?"
Yu Yang was a typical guy with some smarts, but just a little.
Faced with such a transparent question from Wei Li, he didn’t catch on at all, blurting out: "Your deputy division chief and Secretary Liu are brothers."
Wei Li realized, thinking no wonder.
He immediately said: "You guys can head back, leave this to me, once the person shows up, I guarantee to catch him."
Yu Yang repeated: "When you catch him, call me first, Secretary Liu specifically asked for this person."
"I understand," Wei Li squinted, smiling.
Seeing Wei Li being so accommodating, Yu Yang wasn’t in a hurry to leave, offering him a cigarette, his side glance catching Liang Jiajia boarding one of the cars, asking: "Heard you’re here for training and got temporarily seconded?"
Wei Li was quite puzzled, how did they get to chatting?
He nodded.
Yu Yang raised his chin: "That chick looks quite good, introduce her when we drink later."
𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮
Wei Li was taken aback, his expression slightly darkened, but kept smiling: "That’s my girlfriend."
This time it was Yu Yang’s turn to be startled, he chuckled, patting Wei Li’s shoulder: "Brother Wei has a good eye, lucky man."
He took a drag of the cigarette, and asked: "Brother Wei, where are you from? After training, do you want to stay?"
Wei Li sneered internally, this idiot’s trying to sell him dreams.
Blind as hell, not recognizing his impeccable Beijing accent?
"I’m local to Beijing, my brother is also a deputy chief in Fengcheng District," Wei Li said half-sarcastically.
Upon hearing this, Yu Yang was dumbfounded again, his smile turning awkward and slightly nervous: "See, Brother Wei has such a distinctive aura. You carry on then, let’s meet later."
Yu Yang drove off, and Wei Li snapped his cigarette, contemplating, he walked to Liang Jiajia’s car, knocked on the window, and said to the man: "I have something to discuss with Jiajia."
The driving policeman sensibly switched cars; Liang Jiajia looked at him getting into the car, clearly displeased.
Wei Li started the car and drove, saying: "Be careful, that Yu Yang has his eye on you."
Liang Jiajia snorted: "Is he the emperor? His eye on me makes me his?"
Wei Li said: "This is his turf, that guy isn’t a good person. You saw, he dared to drive drunk, you expect people like him to follow rules? Be careful, mention anything to me if something happens."
At first, Liang Jiajia didn’t want to respond, but as it was good advice, she nodded in acknowledgment.
After driving a bit, Wei Li asked: "Did your boyfriend go back?"
"No."
"Are you two engaged? With New Year, he didn’t go home and came over to find you."
Liang Jiajia didn’t want to discuss these things with him, but he wasn’t asking anything private, responding coldly would make her seem rude, so she just vaguely replied with a hum.
Wei Li noticed her impatience, smiled but said no more, feeling unaffected.
Whether she’s engaged or not, Wei Li was only interested in her body all along.
Besides, women with boyfriends are just more exciting.
He thought, during this stakeout, could he find a chance to get her in bed.
Even if using some force, as long as it happens.
He wasn’t worried about Liang Jiajia giving him trouble later, firstly, this is Beijing.
Secondly, he knew women too well, if such a thing happened, they’d only bury it inside.
If her boyfriend found out, they might break up.
So, as long as she couldn’t let go of the relationship, he could manipulate her.
The more he thought, the more excited Wei Li got, his mind flooded with plans.
At 3:30, three police cars drove into the village where the fugitive’s old home was.
The village had cement roads, firecracker sounds everywhere, kids in down jackets chased and played, running noses as they lit firecrackers.
Every household, either in the yard or outside, sat on low stools, snacking and chatting.
"Brother Wei, aren’t the cars too conspicuous? Should we park somewhere else?" Some policemen worried that seeing police cars might scare the fugitive.
"No worries, we’re mainly here to persuade Lin Siyuan’s family." Actually, he was too lazy to hide the police cars.
Another reason, he hoped Lin Siyuan wouldn’t appear too soon, giving him the chance to make a move on Liang Jiajia.
