Chapter 1000: Successful Capture, Escorted to the Provincial Capital

“Let Haizhou City make their move!”

There’s still more than two hours of drive from Haizhou City to the provincial capital. If something unforeseen happens when the other side calls or messages Zhao Xue during this time, and they suspect anything, they might escape temporarily. In that case, it would certainly take a lot of effort to catch them again.

So, taking advantage of the fact that Wu Haitao knows Zhao Xue is hospitalized and is anxious, having the Haizhou City Criminal Investigation Team send people to take action directly, capture the other party, and then send them to the provincial capital is relatively safe.

“Lu Chuan, you’re more familiar with the situation over there in Haizhou City. Call Qin Yong and have him organize the elite forces to arrange the capture. Pay attention to safety.”

“Yes!”

Actually, for a simple arrest, Lu Chuan can just let his Criminal Investigation Team take action and have Wang Zhaokai and Chen Jiang take people over there. That’s enough.

However, since Wu Haitao is suspected of murder, it’s better to be cautious and careful. Lu Chuan didn’t go through his Criminal Investigation Team, but directly called Qin Yong as per Li Donglin’s request.

“Why are you calling me?”

There’s no case recently in the Criminal Investigation Team, so Qin Yong has been living a carefree life. Suddenly seeing Lu Chuan’s call, he was a bit happy.

However, the other party should be in the major crimes unit of the provincial capital at this time. How could he have time to call me?

“Captain Qin, it’s about this…”

Lu Chuan briefly explained the situation of the case to Qin Yong.

“The news we got is that Wu Haitao is planning to take the 1:25 train to the provincial capital, and Director Li’s suggestion is to take action at Haizhou City’s train station, and then have Haizhou City directly escort him to the provincial capital.”

Qin Yong understood what Lu Chuan meant.

The special team wants Haizhou City’s Criminal Investigation Team to help with a small task, which is surely no problem.

“Okay, Lu Chuan, tell Director Li, Haizhou City’s Criminal Investigation Team will definitely complete the task.”

Although the call was made by Lu Chuan, Lu Chuan now represents the major crimes unit’s orders in the provincial office.

That’s why Qin Yong said the task would be completed.

It’s now 12:30.

There’s less than an hour left before the train departs. Time is very tight, so after hanging up, Qin Yong immediately called Zhang Hui over to organize elite personnel and head straight to the train station.

“Don’t worry about the entrance, we’ll take action at the ticket gate, understand?”

Because of the very short time, controlling the location must be streamlined.

Has someone been sent by Qin Yong to the train station office to investigate Wu Haitao’s ticket purchase?

Then directly arrange a dozen people to control the area at the ticket gate.

“Here’s the photo of the target. Each group should report immediately upon discovery, but don’t alert the target.”

“Group One acknowledged.”

“Group Two acknowledged.”

“Group Three acknowledged.”

One must say, Qin Yong was very fast. Driving from Haizhou City’s Criminal Investigation Team to the train station takes about half an hour, so the setup time was very short, just about 10 minutes.

Moreover, they couldn’t make a big show of control, because nobody knew if Wu Haitao was already in the waiting hall.

The train departs in just over twenty minutes.

“Chief, target spotted northwest at six o’clock!”

While Qin Yong was flipping through a newspaper, he heard a report from Group Three in his earpiece.

Qin Yong stood up and, using the pretense of stretching, looked towards the direction his colleague indicated, and indeed spotted a young man in a white t-shirt.

He couldn’t see the face from his angle.

“Group Three, I can’t see the face, are you sure it’s the target?”

“Confirmed!”

“Okay, don’t push too hard. The train is about to depart in a few minutes; initiate the capture at the ticket gate.”

“Yes!”

“Affirmed.”

“The target has entered the restroom!”

“Group One, follow him inside!”

Shortly after, the target came out, and the announcement for ticket inspection was made.

Wu Haitao found the queue for ticket inspection and directly joined the line.

But what he didn’t know was that as he walked toward the queue, according to the capture plan, several groups had already occupied advantageous positions, meaning he was walking right into the trap Qin Yong had set.

At this moment, there’s Criminal Investigation Team personnel in front and behind.

“Move!”

In the earpiece, Qin Yong gave the order, and Zhang Hui, who was right behind Wu Haitao, rushed forward, grabbed the target’s neck, while a person in front turned around to cooperate and quickly took Wu Haitao down.

“Damn! Who are you guys!”

The fallen Wu Haitao was shocked, thinking something had happened.

The sudden change also caused the surrounding crowd to scatter, watching the man being pinned down on the ground.

“Police! Everyone, clear the area!”

Zhang Hui directly cuffed Wu Haitao: “Are you Wu Haitao?”

Knowing the other party were police officers, Wu Haitao’s struggling limbs went rigid.

At that moment, Wu Haitao seemed to have all his strength drained, and immediately went limp, motionless.

Zhang Hui, having carried out many arrests, knew this situation well. It’s when the suspect surely has issues, knows he’s caught, has no hope left, and just goes limp.

“Yes…Yes…”

“Take him away!”

Because arrangements had been made in advance at the train station, the stationed police officers arrived promptly.

“Alright, Zhang Hui, take the team; you five go over and ensure the suspect is safely handed over to the major crimes unit, understood?”

Zhang Hui nodded: “Don’t worry, Captain Qin, we’ll ensure the task is completed.”

According to the notice Lu Chuan sent earlier, the major crimes unit’s requirements were for Haizhou City’s Criminal Investigation Team to arrest the suspect and escort him directly on the train to the provincial capital.

The specific case interrogation would be handled by the major crimes unit, and Haizhou City’s involvement was merely to assist.

To avoid unnecessary trouble, Zhang Hui and the others didn’t have the suspect sit in his original seat but negotiated with the train crew to sit in the first-class compartment.

The distance from Haizhou City to the provincial capital is relatively short, and typically no first-class seats are purchased, so those were empty, allowing them to take Wu Haitao straight to the first-class area.

As Zhang Hui escorted Wu Haitao and left, Qin Yong returned Lu Chuan’s call.

“The suspect has been caught. Zhang Hui is escorting the suspect to the provincial capital service area, and will make the handover at the train station.”

“Great!”

Although this capture operation wasn’t difficult, hearing the news of a successful capture, the members of the major crimes unit were still very excited.
