Chapter 17: The Fifty Thousand Yuan Reward

  If Zhao Long and the third target were just infighting, Zhang Siyu could still accept it to some extent in her heart. After all, this was an unavoidable thing. But when she heard Zhao Long say that he was a good citizen, Zhang Siyu's anger couldn't be contained.

  "Captain, what now?" The subordinates looked at the third target person being trampled under Zhao Long's feet. Their main task was not to capture him, but to follow the trail and catch a bigger fish.

  "Shackle them, bring them all back to the police station, and immediately seal off the news." Zhang Siyu calmed down after getting angry, now that target number three Bai Sheng has gotten into trouble, they must make arrangements as soon as possible. Report the situation to the bureau and request cooperation with the investigation from above. These few guys are extremely vicious, if they even slightly sense something is off, it will be even harder to catch them.

  Seeing Zhao Long stretch out his hands, with his feet still on the third target, Bai Sheng's body, Zhang Siyu glared at him fiercely before turning around to take out her phone and start reporting the situation.

  The interrogation room of the sixth squad of the criminal police brigade of the Haicheng Public Security Bureau, two policemen were taking a deposition from Zhao Long.

  Actually, before they arrived at the police station, Zhang Siyu and others had already checked out information about Zhao Long and knew that he was not really related to this matter. However, necessary investigations and procedures still needed to be followed, and Zhao Long cooperated fully, except for confirming which of the counterfeit goods were genuine, he told the truth about everything else, including that his original intention in sending a text message was to borrow money to buy the painting first, but unexpectedly it was misunderstood by that person.

  In the office of Zhao Dongchuan, Deputy Director of Haedong Police Station and Head of Haedong Criminal Police Brigade, Zhao Dongchuan had just finished a phone call with his superior.

  "Thought Rain has arrived, this time you've made great contributions, but next time something like this happens, you must notify the team first. This group of people is not ordinary thugs, what if something happens to you, how can I explain it to Old Chief?" Zhao Dongchuan said with a smile, Zhang Siyu was not an ordinary subordinate, if she didn't like the character herself, she would never have come to the criminal police team.

  "I just wanted to get a clear picture of them first, then notify the team to take them down all at once. I didn't expect to be disrupted by that foolish kid. Captain, although Bai Sheng has a tough mouth, but I just got off the phone with Xiao Ke Nan and Ouyang Shi Xiong, with his help things will be much easier. So I think..." Zhang Si Yu was very unwilling, having been in the criminal police team for so long, finally encountering such a big case, only to let herself get stuck on the lead.

  "Haha……" Zhao Dongchuan laughed and interrupted Zhang Siyu's words: "Si Yu, although we are criminal police, we can't be too hasty. I've already informed the bureau about this matter, and the bureau has also notified the municipal bureau. Now it's no longer just our family's business. We need to unify and listen to the arrangements from above. But don't worry, your credit for this case is secure. Also, go to the finance department to collect 50,000 yuan. After Zhao Long finishes his confession, tell him to directly transfer the money to his account and have him sign a receipt."

  "Return the money to him, he's interfering with my capture of the main culprit, and his suspicion hasn't been cleared yet. I suggest we detain him until the main culprit is caught." The second and third suspects both had a reward of 50,000 yuan, while the first suspect had a reward of 100,000 yuan. Zhang Siyu naturally knew this too, but thinking of Zhao Long stepping on Bai Sheng and smiling as he said he was a good citizen, she got angry when she thought about catching the escaped culprit.

  "Si Yu, this won't do. Zhao Long is a big shot at Haicheng University, the mayor even awarded him a prize in person back then. How could he possibly be connected to an out-of-province fugitive who committed robbery and murder? You shouldn't get emotional either, next we need to cooperate with the city-wide manhunt." This was how they treated Zhang Si Yu, if it were someone else, they would have been scolded a long time ago.

  "Yes." Although he was still very unhappy in his heart, Zhang Siyu also understood this truth.

  "Zhao Ge, I thought you were going to become a professional basketball player. That time your Hai Cheng University was just slightly weaker in overall strength. If there was another one like you, the championship would have been absolutely no problem..." At this time, Zhao Long had already finished writing his statement and basically made up his mind about this matter, so he was chatting with several young police officers in the office.

  Because just now when I came out, a young policeman who had just arrived was a graduate of the Police University. At that time, he also played against Zhao Long and Hai Cheng University, at that time the Police University got sixth place, and they were defeated by Hai Cheng University.

  "No wonder, at that time that guy ran so fast, if it wasn't for your brick, he would have escaped."

  "Yes, your kung fu is quite impressive too. I think there are only a few in the criminal police team who can match you."

  …………

  At that time, the people who were monitoring Bai Sheng on the scene also remembered the scene where Zhao Long subdued Bai Sheng. They all chimed in, and Zhao Long was surrounded by a crowd of stars, like a moon being worshipped.

  "What's going on? No need to work anymore?" Just then, Zhang Siyu walked in and saw the scene, which made him even more unhappy. He had ruined his own business, and now he was being hailed as a hero.

  "Zhao Ge, be careful, by the way, this is what you wanted." The man nodded at Zhao Long and handed him a wanted poster. Although others heard Zhang Siyu's words and scattered to their own business, they didn't show any fear, some even smiled and greeted Zhang Siyu, obviously very familiar with her, and didn't take her words seriously.

  This is a wanted list. Just now, when Zhao Long was about to leave, they asked him to wait and brought up the matter of rewards. It wasn't until then that Zhao Long knew that Bai Sheng had an additional 50,000 yuan in rewards. He requested a copy of the wanted list and upon looking at it, indeed found no mistakes. Bai Sheng's reward was 50,000, and another person around fifty years old with high cheekbones, a gloomy complexion, eagle eyes, and a high nose bridge - Shi Da Jun - also had a reward of 50,000 yuan. The main culprit was named Jiang Yan, thirty-three years old, with a noticeable scar at the corner of his eye. However, what caught Zhao Long's attention most was his reward: 100,000 yuan.

  And behind that, there is a bracket, the family offers a reward of 300,000 to catch the murderer, and the reward will be given to anyone who catches the murderer. Because the case has not been solved yet, they have not revealed the specific situation, but looking at this reward, Zhao Long's eyes can't help but shine.

  "This time there is a prize of 50,000 yuan. Leave your bank account number and the finance department will transfer the money to your account." Zhang Siyu casually picked up a piece of paper and nodded to indicate that Zhao Long should write down his account number.

  "As expected, there's a reward." Zhao Long smiled and said: "Can't I just get cash directly? It feels more real that way. The numbers in my bank account don't feel authentic enough."

  Zhao Long said with a half-joking tone, but in his heart, he was thinking that if he could get the cash, he could immediately go buy gold and wouldn't have to go to the bank again. Zhang Siyu, who had been following the suspect, was dressed like a fashionable woman, and at this moment, knowing his identity, she looked at him with a hint of playfulness, taking in his outfit and his curvaceous, alluring figure.

  Zhang Siyu furrowed her brow slightly after hearing this, but still had someone go to the finance department to retrieve the money. Since they already had the director's approval, the money was quickly retrieved. Once the money was taken out, Zhao Long rubbed his hands together and actually opened it up to carefully count it once.

  This action made Zhang Siyu even angrier, the police station can still swindle you out of this little money, what a university celebrity, it's actually just a miser, and the mayor personally presented the award.

  "Don't think that just because you've had a stroke of luck, you're really a hero. The other two are gold medal fighters from a big gang in the neighboring province. Don't be greedy and lose your life for money." Zhang Siyu finally couldn't bear to watch anymore, seeing Zhao Long's gaze at the reward on the wanted poster earlier, even more convinced that Zhao Long was a miser who valued money over his own life. After speaking, he turned around and left.

  Looking at the beautiful policewoman in uniform, Zhao Long couldn't help but think of her previous appearance in a super short skirt, dressed in a stylish and fiery dynamic beauty, the contrast was really big.

  "It would be even better if there were a miniskirt police uniform." Zhao Long watched Zhang Siyu turn and leave, thinking of the contrast between her past and present situation, and couldn't help but mutter to himself.

  Zhang Siyu's footsteps paused noticeably, her shoulders moved slightly, and she finally hummed a sound to ignore Zhao Long. Apparently, she had already heard what Zhao Long said earlier.

  "Five hundred thousand yuan, my luck isn't too bad either." Zhao Long counted the money quickly, took it and left the police station. Although he didn't get the painting, Zhao Long was still quite happy, at least he had gained something. However, Lao Shi was extremely dissatisfied with this result. Although the dragon energy contained in it was too weak to have any effect, according to what he said, that was something that once belonged to an emperor, its value couldn't be compared to five hundred thousand yuan.

  Zhao Long was still relatively calm, after all, the good things in this world can't be monopolized by one person. Moreover, he had a longer-term plan in mind. Since Lao Shi had such skills, opening an antique shop would be a sure thing.

  There are many ways to make money in this world, but the most profitable ones will never be illegal activities. Whether it's smuggling, drugs or arms trafficking, none of them can compare to the fluctuations in financial stocks and indices. Zhao Long firmly believes that although he is facing some difficulties now, it's only because he has just started out, and there will be plenty of opportunities to make money in the future.

  "That's already in the past, it's not my thing to force, let's just discuss it. Today I met this guy and I realized that my fighting skills are still at a brute force stage, so you should teach me some moves first." Now thinking about it, Zhao Long also felt a bit scared, he found a shopping mall and went in to buy himself a new set of clothes.

  "Techniques, what techniques..." Lao Shi thought for a moment before suddenly saying; "I've long forgotten that stuff, you should focus on increasing your power first, and when I remember it, I'll teach you. Even just one move will shock the heavens and make ghosts and gods weep."

  "You'd better recall who you are first before speaking, your empty words have given you quite a bit of confidence, it's one of a kind. Zhao Long was speechless, Old Shi seemed to have combined the techniques and moves into just one name, 'Nine Turns Five Elements Body Refining Technique'."

  "How dare you doubt the great and awesome me? Do you know who I am? I'm 66 wins, who am I? Ah yes, 66"

  Alas, infinite loop, and it's back to this again.

  Just as Zhao Long was thinking of how to change the subject, his phone suddenly rang. He took advantage of this opportunity to stop talking with Lao Shi and picked up the phone to take a look. It was a call from Youyou.
