Chapter 947: Target Located

Since the Tabby Cat has already been found and it’s confirmed that the Smiling Tiger is now in Haizhou City, Lu Chuan called the Haizhou City Public Security Bureau Anti-drug Detachment.

The Anti-drug Detachment did not participate in earlier operations to maintain confidentiality and prevent exposure.

But now, evidently, there’s no longer a need for that.

At the car rental company, when Lu Chuan arrived, a detachment from the Anti-drug team had already reached the scene.

Although the traffic police found that the car was rented, no one knew if there was any relation between the rental company and any suspects.

Gao Feng, upon receiving the news, immediately gathered a detachment to seal off the entire car rental company.

This is the biggest difference between anti-drug criminal police work and regular criminal police work: it emphasizes confidentiality to the extreme.

"Officers... What did we do wrong?"

The car rental company’s boss was dumbfounded; they’re just running a business, and suddenly a dozen or so people burst in.

It wouldn’t have been a big deal if they just came in, but they were holding pistols and even submachine guns.

The car rental company’s boss wasn’t a pushover; in the car rental business, you always have a few underlings.

Otherwise, how could you handle towing vehicles?

But they usually only carried a stick or knife, and now faced a dozen pistols and a few submachine guns.

"Police!"

This operation at the car rental was personally led by Gao Feng.

Smiling Tiger!

He ranks among the top fugitives wanted by Interpol.

The key is that the Haizhou City Anti-drug Detachment has had their eyes on him for quite some time.

Due to many reasons, most of the incoming drugs to Haizhou City come from the Smiling Tiger’s syndicate.

The Haizhou City Anti-drug Detachment has been contending with them for over ten years.

In fact, when Smiling Tiger’s father, Uncle Kun, was in power back in the day, Haizhou City was already one of their targets.

The Smiling Tiger borrowed Uncle Kun’s remaining influence to make a comeback leveraging the inland market.

Ending a mission spanning more than a decade today made Gao Feng very excited.

Gao Feng is now the deputy commander of the Haizhou City Anti-drug Detachment, knowing he was just an ordinary anti-drug officer more than ten years ago.

Over ten years have gone by, and many of his leaders and colleagues from back then have retired.

When the Tabby Cat went undercover years ago, he was just a young man, and now he’s middle-aged.

Time flies by so quickly.

"Cut the crap!"

Gao Feng was not one to indulge anyone, and after controlling everyone, he instructed again: "Everyone, watch each other, collect all the phones, disconnect the landlines, confiscate anything that could be used to contact the outside."

Then Gao Feng approached the car rental boss.

"Liang Naifeng! Do you know him?"

The boss blinked his eyes: "You’re speaking of... which Feng?"

"Liang Naifeng!"

The car rental boss searched his brain: "This person... I have no impression."

Gao Feng’s eyes narrowed slightly; he’d seen plenty of those who don’t shed a tear until they see their own coffin.

"Fine, you don’t want to talk, call someone and give me..."

"Boss..." At this moment, another woman who had been handcuffed whispered: "Liang Naifeng... is the boss who rented an S-class Benz from us three days ago."

Upon hearing about the S-class Benz, the car rental boss’s eyes lit up: "Ah! Officer, I remember, I remember!"

"A few days ago..."

The boss hurriedly explained the situation at that time.

Someone renting an S-class Mercedes-Benz is definitely not ordinary.

So the car rental boss had an impression of Liang Naifeng, but his name didn’t come to mind immediately.

"Retrieve his car rental information."

"Yes, yes, yes, Zhang, quickly get the ledger!"

Zhang is the woman who had prompted the car rental boss earlier.

However, she was sitting on the ground with handcuffs on her hands.

Gao Feng saw this: "Unlock her."

The officer standing by unlocked just one handcuff.

The rental company’s ledger information was all on the computer.

Gao Feng reminded: "Disconnect the internet cable."

When Lu Chuan arrived, the operation was basically wrapping up.

Gao Feng’s team had not yet withdrawn.

"After preliminary investigations, we’ve cleared the car rental company from having direct contact with the Smiling Tiger."

While Gao Feng’s team controlled everyone, he had already assigned people to investigate their financial situations and call records.

The Anti-drug Detachment had their own ways and characteristics of handling cases.

Individuals associated with drug dealers usually have more cash income.

Additionally, these people might receive strange phone calls.

But this car rental company started business only three years ago.

The background of the car rental company’s owner was thoroughly investigated, originally an unemployed youth who had some run-ins but had a clear record with no contact with drug traffickers.

The staff in the car rental company were all hired by the boss.

There wasn’t anything suspicious there either.

"Have they located it?"

Lu Chuan was most concerned about the vehicle’s location, as finding the car could lead to finding the Smiling Tiger.

"Yes, the car rental company installed a tracking system on the car, enabling real-time monitoring of its location."

Gao Feng had already gotten someone to check: "The car is currently in a villa area on North Mountain Road."

"What’s the situation with the person who rented it?"

Lu Chuan had learned that the car renter’s name was Liang Naifeng.

"Checked the surveillance video, the Tabby Cat just confirmed it wasn’t the Smiling Tiger himself."

From the ledger check, Gao Feng’s team confirmed Liang Naifeng’s identity, noting he’s a local from Haizhou City.

However, this person’s background is relatively clean, with no criminal records.

"I just did a cursory check on Liang Haifeng, he runs a supermarket, and it’s fairly large."

Liang Naifeng seems too clean, with the current information indicating no apparent link to drug trafficking.

"However, the villa where the car is parked is actually under Liang Naifeng’s name."

Gao Feng had gathered quite a bit of information.

After determining the vehicle’s location, Gao Feng’s team already researched some details about the related area.

"The current highest possibility is that the Smiling Tiger is residing in the villa under Liang Naifeng’s name."

Gao Feng looked at Lu Chuan: "My suggestion is to proceed with the arrest now!"

Technically, as the deputy commander of the Anti-drug Detachment, Gao Feng shouldn’t consult Lu Chuan on this issue, but Lu Chuan had orchestrated this entire case from the beginning.

Gao Feng’s team secured the key clues thanks to Lu Chuan’s discovery.

He got to the scene earlier only because the Anti-drug Detachment was nearby.
