Chapter 8: The Storm is Coming

  Why did Chen De Liang say that? As I turned off the recorder and walked out of the vegetable greenhouse, the soldiers in the military camp looked over intentionally or unintentionally, including Wu Meng Tuan.

  Sun Licheng rarely spoke up, but now he too was anxious: "Should we tell them that Chen Deliang is a major suspect?"

  I waved my hand: "Calm down, remember our task is to delay time, can't be suspected, now we go meet Quinn, remember, on the way, act very angry, just like yesterday."

  "What the hell, Chen Deliang is not a thing anymore, can't take it~ This job can't be done, if not then leave, and don't owe you anything......" Sun Licheng doesn't talk much, but he has a good friend Zhang Da Fei, who has learned from him, and when he says these fragmented words, they sound quite authentic, even I believe them.

  Wu Mengtuan hurried over to ask, noticing a difference in his complexion.

  But at that time, I didn't need Sun Licheng to translate, I just raised my arm and walked around him, looking for Kunen, it was like telling a friend, with an attitude of "I'm not doing this anymore".

  When we found Kun in the broken computer room, that guy quickly clicked a few times on the top right corner of the screen with his mouse and then 'adjusted' his own 'pants'.

  Sun Licheng deliberately waited for the large group of people to follow up, and then stepped forward and shouted: "Kunen, we are already good friends, but your people are too uncooperative, teasing us and scolding us with dirty words. So, we absolutely won't do it anymore, we want to leave!"

  Kun was bewildered, what's going on?

  He only recognizes money, and the loss of the golden Buddha has nothing to do with him. He doesn't even know about the wild man's affairs, nor does he know that the wild man didn't take away the explosives!

  Kun didn't know anything, but he was quite clever. As soon as he saw the large crowd behind him and Sun Licheng's brief pause, he immediately understood that we were using a retreat to advance tactic.

  "Friend, don't go, we need you, you're Quinn's best friend, I'm the most anxious person in the camp, please help me find the Golden Buddha." Ugh, this guy is taking advantage of the situation to show off, as if he's so worried and enthusiastic for the country!

  "No, I'm leaving, I'm leaving today!" After I finished speaking, Sun Licheng jumped up and down, shouting loudly to help me translate.

  "Don't go, don't leave... Detective, please don't go..." The crowd rushed to persuade him, and it wasn't until now that they showed the proper attitude of seeking help.

  That's right!

  "I'm telling you, I'm leaving! I'm going to the US to pick out two top-notch pit bulls and bring them back for the national dog fighting championships. I don't have time to 'waste' with you guys!"

  Then I saw Wu Mengtuan pull Zheng Wenglou to one side and persuade him, the latter's face was as black as coal and green with anger.

  As expected, soon Wu Mengtuan came running over with a smile and said: "Detective, we Zheng Pai Zhang raised two pitbulls, after long-term training, they even won first prize in the dog fighting competition, they are the best fighting dogs, please accept them to help us solve the case."

  Zheng Wenlou's eyes were fixed on me, and I could even hear the sound of him grinding his steel teeth: "My pitbull, after seven months of age, every day carrying heavy loads, long-distance running, pulling heavy objects, teasing bites, teasing jumps, agility training, now has the youngest teeth, and is also the king of Vietnamese fighting dogs, take it away."

  "Dog King or whatever, I want to see the dog first." I was excited with a 'touching' expression, as if throwing all grievances behind my head.

  Later, under the leadership of Wu Mengtuan and Zheng Wenlou, Sun Licheng and I arrived at Ruan Dongshu's beautiful mansion behind the barracks.

  As Ruan Dong said, the rooms in the mansion were luxuriously decorated, a Toyota Land Cruiser, two extremely ferocious pit bulls, and a beautiful young woman.

  "Haha ~ Okay, I really like this dog, I'll take it. Oh ~ I promise you to crack the case, I will definitely do it, haha ~" At this time, my 'touch' style is a dog lover, as if he just gives me these two dogs, I am willing to do anything.

  I used my phone to gather information about the Biterman Pinscher while I was in the bathroom, hmm ~ it can change owners, this dog has a relatively low IQ, is extremely fierce and aggressive when fighting, its bones are three times as solid as other dogs, it excels at continuous running, with incredible endurance, its tenacious fighting spirit and tough temperament also make it an excellent fighting dog, the price is not expensive, can be put on the table, just 5,000 to 8,000 yuan.

  However, after I came out, Zheng Wenhao introduced his dogs in a different way: "These are two excellent pit bulls, they all have a body that is awe-inspiring, unyielding willpower, long-lasting endurance, extremely high biting force, agility, and a thinking brain. They have very human-like emotions, you need to find them fun toys, often pet them..."

  That day, Zheng Wenlou spoke to me as if he was bidding farewell to a loved one, saying many, many things. Honestly, I don't like taking advantage of others' kindness, especially when there are ulterior motives involved. However, these two dogs might be able to help Zhao Yong and the others, so with the mission at stake, I couldn't care about that much anymore.

  Two robust pit bulls, belonging to the medium-sized dog category, even a bit smaller, but possessing extremely strong combat instincts. The two dogs kept biting and tearing at the large truck tire, honing their fighting skills. I fed them food, gave them toys, played with them, and gradually became their friend, eventually turning into their master.

  Using these two dogs as an excuse, I delayed the case for another day.

  Before I left, I casually told them that they should advise Chen De Liang to cooperate with me in investigating the case and provide all the clues I needed.

  After we four people walked back with two dogs, the weather was beautiful and it rained heavily for five consecutive days.

  Uh~ this is great for us, but for Zhao Yong and others who have been fighting continuously, they are heavily affected by the flu, with four or five of them being put down.

  We don't know what kind of hard battle they went through, and in the end, I've already 'controlled' two dogs with ease, but Luo San thinks this mission is a failure and wants to go back?

  "Why! Why?" Lin Ruoyin and I asked in unison, our faces filled with discontent under the dim light.

  Zhao Yong was soaked to the bone, his lips were pale and numb from the cold, and he was wrapped in a blanket, shivering: "Hmph! Since you guys arrived, our team's mission has never failed. Be calm and accept it this time."

  Jiang Yu, that gentle 'girl', also got a bit anxious: "Yong Ge, is it also because of Cheng Long's illness? If not, let's switch and try, the two dogs that Chuan Jie robbed are very fierce!"

  "You can't catch it." Cheng Long's face turned pale as paper: "That must be a ghostly object, let alone catching it, just touching it will get you hurt."

  As he spoke, Cheng Long lifted his clothes, revealing four bloody claw marks on his waist and abdomen, a terrifying sight!

  "I cannot accept such a defeat." The injury of my companion, the humiliating journey, I cannot accept.

  My words are filled with a will of steel, just like those two Dobermans, unaware of pain, fearless and dauntless, fighting to the death!

  "We also can't accept it, yes, we can't just give up like this." Lin Ruoyin and Jiang Yi also stood out together.

  Zhao Yong helplessly shook his head: "Old Luo and Wu brothers, a few of you who can move, accompany them again tomorrow."

  That night, I watched the video of Zhao Yong and others being captured over the past few days. The first time they set a trap, 'lured' and failed to capture; the second time they encountered halfway, forced to surround and failed to capture; the third time, multiple layers of traps were set, and even after sacrificing themselves, they still failed.

  For the last time, extremely 'precise' and comprehensive annihilation, they surrounded it in a circle, seeing success!

  "Huh? Nine people formed a two-meter circle, and the wild man was among them. At that time, it let out a desperate howl, and took out a Buddha statue to gesture something. Seeing the determination in everyone's eyes, the monster's sharp claws appeared, as if they had suddenly grown out of its bones, and scratched several people."

  The monster let out a mournful howl and ran away, its voice was so bitter, so bitter...

  That night, I lay awake, the mournful cry of the little demon in the rain echoing repeatedly in my heart, generating multiple interpretations on its own, as if it was saying something that I had experienced before.

  But I seem to have forgotten it, forgotten at some street corner...

  The next morning, warm sunshine illuminated the earth.

  "Hahaha!" Zhao Yong was full of energy: "I, Old Zhao the Tiger, am back again! Old Luo, you guys keep the dog for us, today I'll go and deal with it again, I must catch that guy!"

  "What's going on?!" Lin Ruoyin felt a bit resentful: "Captain Zhao, didn't you say we could try once? Why are you taking our dog and also taking our turn? It's not fair."

  "Alright, as long as it doesn't rain that damned heavy rain and I'm not starving, trust me, Zhao the Tiger is invincible, the strongest. You guys put your trust in me with confidence, I'll definitely grasp it. Oh~ Cheng Long, you're not allowed to go today, this is an order. Brothers, let's go..."

  The captain came back to life, interestingly he didn't dare look into my eyes, busy shouting at the brothers to grab tools, hold dogs, ride motorcycles and head to Shili Slope.

  I hastily patted Luo San's shoulder and said in a low voice, "Brother Yong can't be without one of his own brothers by his side. The five of us here are enough."

  "We can't leave Cheng Long alone here either, you three should 'pull' one out." Luo San thought quickly and followed Zhao Yong and the others in a hurry.

  So, Jiang Yi stayed behind to take care of Cheng Long who was injured in bed, while I and Lin Ruoyin, Sun Licheng, and Sun Liwei headed towards the camp.

  We went from thirteen people at first, then six, and now four, which obviously led to Wu Meng's speculation.

  At this most critical moment, we absolutely cannot be suspected. If they suspect us and go to investigate, it will be terrible if they find out about that matter.

  "Don't worry!" Facing the Vietnamese army's doubts, I confidently said: "I have grasped a certain amount of clues. As long as the weather is clear, within three days, the case will be solved!"

  There is no doubt that I have forced myself into a desperate situation.

  This feeling is very precious to me, because in the midst of confusion, I have gradually moved towards the right track of the case.

  Three times I visited Chen De Liang, what made me somewhat astonished was that he hadn't thoroughly collapsed, his duck mouth still rigid.

  "I've already told you everything I know, whether you believe it or not. Don't bother me again." At that moment, his eyes were just like Zhao Yong's before he left...

  Although I was very angry, today I couldn't just turn around and leave, so I found time to meet with Ruan Dong again.

  "Did you ask?" Ruan Dong's face turned black and red as he looked at me, then at Lin Ruoyin.

  "Huh? What was I asking?" Lin Ruoyin was right next to me, and my heart skipped a beat.

  Ruan Dong smiled and said, "She's Korean, while your translator is Chinese. She can't understand Chinese, so you'd better tell me, will the big 'leg' forget about Zheng Wenlou and fall in love with me? You did promise to help bring us together!"

  It's all over, the truth is out!

  "Hehe~" Luckily Lin Ruo Yin understood the situation and continued to pretend to be foolish, still playing with those "wild flowers".

  Anyway, it's all like this now. I'll just break the jar and pull Ruan Dong to my side and talk nonsense: "Brother, you can't do it like this. Just splashing dirty water, at most, it's just that you don't like Zheng Wenlou. You have to defeat Zheng Wenlou in a place where you can show off your skills, let people see your strengths. There's a Chinese saying, if you don't work hard yourself, others want to help you but can't find your outstretched hand. You have to be like this. When he shouts slogans loudly, you shout louder than him. When he commands the soldiers, you make the soldiers listen to you. And when his clothes are neat and tidy, you rumple them!"

  "But the soldiers are used to listening to him, how can I turn the situation around?" Ruan Dong nervously rubbed his hands, with a very obvious intention of retreating.

  I smiled faintly and said in a low voice, "The murderer of the case is Chen De Liang, one of you. I'll crack the case within two or three days, and once the case is cracked, we'll leave. If you want to keep the 'White Leg' female god, you'd better hurry up. Here's a suggestion for you: why not unite with Kun En?"

  "Hmm... That makes sense, I must surpass Zheng Wenlou..."

  That night, on the way back to Alio's house, I was riding a motorcycle at high speed in front, and Lin Ruoyin was chasing after me with a fierce cry: "Stop, I won't kill you!"

  "How many revolutionary predecessors died in Vietnam, you can sacrifice a bit of 'color' to save the national treasure back home. As a member of the serious crimes unit, you should have the spirit of serving the country and the people, I'm going crazy!"
