Chapter 10: The Big Case (3)

  Zhang Tong's subconscious action gave Gao Xiang enough time, using all his strength to swing the stone in his hand and throw it out. The front wheel of the speeding vehicle shook violently, followed by the sound of "crash" and a scream. The off-road vehicle made an S-shaped turn like a mad dog, then stuck to the left side of the road, while the right side floated up, hitting the police car in the middle of the road. The police van was knocked out five or six meters away. Finally, the off-road vehicle flipped violently and rolled over several times before crashing to the ground.

  One hand grasping a baton, the other pinching the irritating spray canister, Tian Miao also looked stunned. (Co-police standard equipment, an old-fashioned baton... electrified, don't know if the anti-wolf spray has expired...) The detectives in the modern sedan behind also looked stunned, fortunately, the driver still knew what to do, the police car quickly rushed up, 4 detectives jumped out of the car with guns drawn and surrounded the off-road vehicle.

  Tian Miao rushed over and anxiously pulled Zhang Tong to check, the latter staring blankly at the off-road vehicle in front, when another wave of police cars chased up with a screech, the sound of tires rubbing against the ground and emergency braking filled the air, sealing off the area.

  Team leader Zhou Bin got out of one of the cars, took a look around, and quickly walked over to the police officers who were biting the suspect. He said something to them, then ran back, opened the door of a police car, and sat down inside.

  "Thanks to these three auxiliary police officers, they helped us intercept the criminals in time. However, these auxiliary police really need to be disciplined, two men ran away and left the two girls here to face the criminals."

  Zhou Bin angrily recounted the process of being chased, and a pleasant female voice on the police car said calmly: "Check which unit they belong to, I'll report to Director Su."

  Zhou Bin seemed very familiar with the female police officer in the car and said casually:

  "I'll go check right away, damn it, let me find out and I'll deal with them first!"

  "No rush, that girl is alright, the criminal shot at her, don't know if she's injured. If it wasn't for her rushing out to intercept, the criminal wouldn't have had the idea of taking hostages either. Once they got their off-road vehicle past us, it would be all mountain roads behind, and our sedans could only watch them drive into the mountains. Although her actions were a bit reckless, you should go encourage her first, Zhou."

  When Zhou Bin arrived, the detectives under him had already pulled out 4 criminals from the off-road vehicle. The detectives pressed them against the off-road vehicle to search their bodies and put on handcuffs. Seeing their superior arrive, they all came to report their achievements. Zhou's team laughed loudly for a while and said "Let's have hot pot tonight", which brought cheers from the detectives.

  With a belly full of anger, he wanted to see which part was the cowardly king, but as a result, he saw Tian Miao Miao and Zhou Bin again, and this little girl really is his lucky star. Last time he saw her, he successfully caught Liu Lao Liu (okay, although he caught the wrong person...), this time seeing her again, he cracked such a big case. With his face relaxing, Zhou Bin first anxiously asked Tian Miao Miao if she was injured, then helped up Zhang Tong who had weak legs and said to her:

  "Girl, you're a good one! I've heard about your actions, great job! I heard the bandit fired at you, were you hurt? There's a female comrade in that car, Xiaomiao, help her over and check on her."

  It's clear that Zhou Bin is in a good mood, and the usually notorious "Black-Faced Zhou" has even called out his rarely-seen nickname "Miao Miao". Tian Miao Miao followed him to inspect Zhang Tong without mentioning it.

  Walked up to Gao Xiang's side, punched him in the chest, and under his painful and constipated expression, slapped him twice more before happily saying:

  "Good boy! How did you get so lucky? You know, for you to hit the driver, two conditions must be met: 1) The girl had to throw the jack onto the road, and the bandit's off-road vehicle had to run over it, causing loss of control; 2) They had to be driving fast enough. If either condition wasn't met, your rock wouldn't have even broken the glass, let alone hit the driver."

  Gao Xiang opened his big mouth and laughed foolishly, Zhou team was happy and encouraged him for two more sentences before walking towards the police car behind him. After getting in the car, he immediately got out again, picked up the walkie-talkie and started scolding:

  "Get me the information, check which team is squatting at the Happiness Road police station, and get me the list. Two male auxiliary police officers ran away faster than the suspects, leaving two girls behind, what a bunch of cowards! Also ask them what's going on in their station? Why did they send 2 female auxiliary police to stake out this place? They said it would be 1 regular officer with 4 auxiliary police, why are there only auxiliary police here? If the criminals had run just a little bit further, they would have escaped into the mountains. Do you know what that means?"

  Within 5 minutes of Zhou Bin pressing the intercom, the municipal bureau's phone call arrived at the Xingfu Road police station, where the instructor Huang Xue was scolded.

  "What's going on with you guys? Which team was stationed at Zhaojiawan? As a male comrade, how could you abandon your vehicle and run away, leaving two female comrades to face the criminals alone?! And what's more, when you paired up four regular police officers with one auxiliary officer, how could you put five auxiliary officers on the front line and have them carry out tasks independently? What kind of instructor are you?!" After saying that, he was so angry that he slammed down the phone.

  Huang Xue was scolded by the municipal bureau's leader and was so frightened that she put down the phone, took a deep breath, rubbed her face hard, and dialed a number on her mobile phone. After the call was answered, the person on the other end seemed to have calmed down a bit, and responded with a faint "Hmm?" which made Huang Xue feel tense and short of breath. She spoke cautiously: "Director Su... I'm really sorry, it's my mistake at work. But our police force is indeed insufficient. You also know that our jurisdiction is large, and there are many troublemakers. I've arranged the best soldiers at the key intersections, all equipped with guns. Zhaojiawan is not even a second-class highway, and further in, it's all mountain roads. At first, everyone thought setting up this checkpoint was unnecessary, so I just assigned 5 auxiliary police officers to stand there as a formality. Who knew the suspect would go through there?"

  The person on the other end of the phone paused for a moment, followed by the sound of drinking water, and then asked with a hint of dissatisfaction:

  "What's wrong with you? You take credit when there's gain, but push responsibility away? Are you learning this from Huang Xue now too? As a auxiliary police officer, you should have the demeanor of a real police officer, and a sense of honor and mission! How were you educated before? You must take full responsibility for this matter and make a deep self-criticism!"
