,. Chapter 168: Escape all the way A Counterfeit with deep marks appeared on the computer and was transmitted directly to Binhai's task force from the front. [The Legend of the Dragon King of Douluo Continent:///_/] Lin Qizhao who stayed up all night, like a demon, murmured: Hazardous Materials Vehicle, Hazardous Materials Vehicle... Also working overtime Specialized Investigation Team quickly lined up different vehicle types on the computer. When the huge tank appeared, Lin Qizhao's eyes lit up: "Is it a Hazardous Materials Transport Vehicle?" "Wouldn't that be the goal? "Bigger?" "The operation is also more difficult." "After being exposed, there is no place to hide. It is easy to find this kind of special vehicle." "And the investment is huge. Is it worth the cost of such a crime?" The Technical Investigation, as usual, will quickly identify the clues from the front and back directions as soon as they come out. If, as expected, the informant is prompting the use of hazardous chemicals trucks to transport Counterfeit Money, it seems to be very difficult. "Don't think about the difficulty. No matter how difficult it is, it won't be more difficult than getting Gravure Printing Press and special ink and paper. Let's think about it from a perspective. Suppose I am transporting hazardous chemicals by truck. What are the advantages?" Lin Qizhao asked. "This kind of car has stipulated time and road sections. The restrictions are very strict, but there are few inspections." "Even if it is kept, it must be kept two kilometers away from the main road. But it is easier to hide." "Yes, if it is a hazardous chemical , you can refuse the inspection." "Although the investment is a bit large, if you really invest in it, it seems to be a higher safety factor."
“……”
During the discussion, Lin Qizhao suddenly felt that this seemingly foolish method was actually quite clever. His eyes brightened as he murmured, “Then this clue might be highly accurate. We have been overlooking Bulk Transportation's Counterfeit Money; the problem lies here, as we haven't figured out their transportation method… Let's investigate vehicles entering and leaving Anyang, comparing them one by one against our records while we wait for the next clue.”
“There's a lead! The Party Instructor found footage from the Highway Exit,” someone shouted.
As the uploaded footage opened, it showed Xiao Mu driving and taking a toll card at the highway entrance, heading Out of Province.
Lin Qizhao immediately called Aeming to inquire. Aeming briefly explained that they had entered the highway around eleven last night, and they were currently tracing their destination.
“List out the details of last night's Case Situation: transaction time, location…” Lin Qizhao leaned over to a Technical Investigation officer's computer. After glancing at it a few times, he said with frustration, “The capture point is not far from the Expressway Entrance. They must be testing the waters nearby, and they tricked two sellers of counterfeit trademarks to take the fall… Did they slip away? Or have they returned to their nest?”
He stroked his chin, pacing back and forth in the room. With such a lack of information, it was truly difficult to determine what had happened…

“Hazardous Material Transport?” Shen Lingchen was momentarily taken aback.
The news had just come in, and even Zhou Qunyi was caught off guard. Fan Saili remarked, “We found three characters left behind by the Counterfeit; the Party Instructor believes it indicates direction. Department Head Lin suspects they used this method to transport Counterfeit goods nationwide.”
“It’s hard to understand. There are documented cases where some use logistics or transport on buses; once caught, they can trace back to their vehicles… This method seems to have a Too High crime cost,” Zhou Qunyi shook his head in doubt.
“But it’s also safer. Have you ever seen traffic police stop a hazardous materials vehicle and check what’s inside?” Fan Saili asked.
That statement awakened Shen Lingchen from his stupor. He clapped his hands and said, “Exactly! This is a cleverly disguised technique; who would dare approach such a vehicle? It could park anywhere for loading and unloading without raising suspicion; it’s practically a natural cover.”
"Then let's investigate further," Zhou Qunyi said reluctantly.
"We've already started the investigation. This is the report just received from Bridge Village... In the village, several garbage piles were found, along with burned ink buckets. A few villagers who had done odd jobs reported that these individuals had no connections with the locals, but they maintained decent relationships, mainly because Xu Tonglei had bribed the village officials," Fan Saili explained.
Shen Lingchen chuckled softly. Zhou Qunyi glanced at the report and photos, sighing in frustration. The evidence was sufficient to prove that there had once been a Counterfeit Money Printing Press here, but unfortunately, it was now too late.
After pondering for a moment, Shen Lingchen remained seated. Zhou Qunyi, puzzled, asked, "Director Shen, do you have something else?"
Shen Lingchen exchanged a glance with Fan Saili and politely said, "I have an idea I'd like to discuss with you. My colleague Guo Wei—would it be possible for him to familiarize himself with the Case Situation in your project team? It might come in handy later... Also, I have a small request."
Zhou Qunyi's expression darkened. To be honest, Binhai's encroachment and dominance made him feel embarrassed. He awkwardly smiled and said, "Just let me know what you need."
"Then I won't hold back. I'm here to ask you to accompany me to interrogate Wang Shou and Ge Feifei. We might also need to meet Yao Yuxia. I believe there are significant criminal activities involved with them... Bridge Village is Ge Feifei's hometown; this guy is still being evasive," Shen Lingchen stated.
This was an unexpected opportunity presented to him. Zhou Qunyi paused for a moment and asked curiously, "Is that appropriate?"
"You call the shots; whatever arrangement works is fine... Recently, I've heard that the investigation in Anhui Province has faced some difficulties, but that's due to objective limitations. Neither equipment nor personnel can compare to Binhai's. Team Leader Zhou, let me tell you something quietly: throughout my career as a police officer, I've often struggled with the same feelings you're experiencing now—subordinates complaining, superiors pressing for results, feeling anxious yet helpless," Shen Lingchen remarked.
Zhou Qunyi smiled bitterly in agreement. He replied, "Thank you for coming to help us, but I won't go so far as to steal credit."
"You’re right about that; I think we should work together to reclaim this credit swiftly. This gang may be larger than we imagine; it's not something one or two people can handle—it requires our collective effort," Shen Lingchen said as he stood up and invited him.
"Alright, thank you for your trust." Zhou Qunyi shook his hand with some emotion, straightened his uniform, and left alongside Shen Lingchen. As they departed, Shen Lingchen gave Fan Saili a knowing smile.
That old man has become quite clever.
Fan Saili thought to himself as he lightly cupped his hands in acknowledgment. It seemed that the Anhui Province project team would now operate under his guidance. Just then, Guo Wei rushed in and saluted Fan Saili, ready for task assignments.
"First, let's gather information on Li Qian; it might be very useful... Do you know what happened last night?" Fan Saili said.
Guo Wei nodded, a confident smile on her face.
She was sure that the special news had been received. Fan Saili leaned in, puzzled, and whispered to Guo Wei, "How did he manage to infiltrate the Counterfeit Money gang? It's incredible; it's only been a few days!"
Her voice was low, as if afraid someone in the team would overhear. Guo Wei smiled and replied, "It's quite easy for him. Aside from not being able to live like a normal person, he can handle any other type of situation."
This assessment left Fan Saili even more confused.
However, it also boosted her confidence. With such a guiding thread, uncovering the connections within this gang was just a matter of time.

Beep… beep… The instant messaging alert was from Aeming. Lin Qizhao hurriedly picked it up; it was already nine in the morning. He rubbed his eyes and asked, "What's the situation?"
"Lin Department Head, we've just found the video records. They left the province at three o'clock this morning from Four O'Clock in the Morning. They exited the highway forty kilometers from Hubei to Sui Prefecture, and their whereabouts are unknown... We're currently at the Anyang exit, searching in that direction. I discussed two plans earlier: one is to tail them until we catch up; the other is to use Anyang as a base to search for possible hideouts. I think they can't be far since that old van has our province's license plate," Aeming said, his voice intermittent.
"Both plans carry risks. Which one do you prefer?" Lin Qizhao asked.
"I lean towards the second option. Xiao Mu has a strong self-preservation instinct; I believe we should have concrete information before making contact. Finding their hideout and tracking the Hazardous Materials Vehicle is crucial. As long as we locate their nest, these people will eventually return," Aeming replied.
Lin Qizhao pondered for a moment, realizing he couldn't compare his experience with that of these seasoned Field Duty personnel. He said directly, "You decide; our support team will track the missing vehicle along the way."
"Okay, then we'll stay in Anyang for now... By the way, there's one more thing."
"What happened?"
"I brought someone with me, Sun Qinghua. Now it's a bit of a hassle. With such a big case, this..."
"Tsk... You decide what to do."
"Alright then, thank you, Lin Department Head. I'll keep an eye on him and have the local Police Force send him back later."
When the call ended, Lin Qizhao wore a pained expression. The success or failure of the Case Situation was entangled with an outsider, much like the last Flame Action. He felt helpless and somewhat resigned. Holding the photo of Xiao Mu taken from the table, he even felt a twinge of jealousy. How was it that this guy seemed to be related to the criminal gang? He just waltzed in without a care; it had only been a few days.
"If only he were a police officer..."
Lin Qizhao unexpectedly lost his train of thought, as if he could see Xiao Mu dressed in a police uniform. Having such a crime-fighting officer would be an honor for the Police Force, but unfortunately, reality was far from his wishes. What kind of person could he become? The only thing he wouldn't be is a police officer.
Was it relief? Regret? Or something else entirely? Lin Qizhao put down the photo, feeling a complex emotion within himself that he couldn't quite articulate...

At that moment, Xiao Mu had transformed again. Wearing some cheap market goods—a white coat and white pants—he had his own unique style. As Wang Lishong would say: "Like a horse mourning."
However, he wasn't feeling down at all. The two were quickly becoming close friends with him. It was said that Stigler-Mor Syndrome meant that spending too much time with criminals would naturally lead to psychological alignment with them. This time, it seemed Xu Tonglei and Wang Lishong weren't bad people; Xiao Mu was the one in trouble. While traveling through Sui Prefecture, they encountered a temporary checkpoint. Xiao Mu drove through confidently and even greeted the police officers, smoothly passing by and leaving the two astonished.
The checkpoint was checking vehicles, specifically targeting those who were nervous or driving erratically. If you looked normal, they wouldn't even bother to check you—especially not for a rundown van like this one that seemed to have no value.
But there was indeed something valuable; they had a whole load of Counterfeit Money. Wang Lishong had managed to get his hands on it, and after passing the checkpoint, they were both drenched in sweat from the scare.
After that incident, the vigilance of the two relaxed significantly.
On the outskirts of the city, they found a small stall selling breakfast. Xiao Mu casually asked, "Uncle Lei, what place is this?"
"We're almost at Jingmen. The girls here are quite nice," Xu Tonglei said with a lecherous grin.
Xiao Mu instantly realized that his guard was nearly down. Normally, he wouldn’t share anything, but hearing this, Xiao Mu patted his pocket full of money and said, "Then Uncle Lei, with this much money in my pocket, shall we find a place to spend it?"
"Tsk, how much is that? It's barely enough," Wang Lishong replied unhappily.
"Not bad at all. You know, you can't take anything with you when you die, so it's better to spend it while you're alive," Xiao Mu said, looking for an opportunity.
"Wait, let's finish unloading first... pulling a cart of this stuff is like pulling a cart of bombs," Xu Tonglei whispered.
Xiao Mu was taken aback; it seemed this guy had connections. He asked in admiration, "Uncle Lei, how many dialects can you speak?"
"What do you mean?" Xu Tonglei looked puzzled.
"I just feel like from south to north, there isn't a dialect you can't speak. What did you do before to learn so much?" Xiao Mu wondered.
"Let me test you. Besides those who run around doing pyramid schemes, there's another type of person who also travels everywhere. What do you think it is?" Xu Tonglei asked.
"Chickens," Xiao Mu blurted out.
Wang Lishong burst out laughing, and Xu Tonglei's face turned red as he retorted, "Get lost! I'm not selling chickens! Back in the day, I was a well-known salesman for unsold products in Binhai's state-owned enterprises. I sold everything from washing machines and sewing machines to bed sheets and thermoses all over the country... I'm not bragging; I've even been to the Northwest. The girls there are cheaper; just give them a bed sheet and you can sleep with a big girl. Give them a thermos and you might even get to sleep with her mother."
Xiao Mu laughed so hard he nearly choked, while Wang Lishong was also struggling to breathe from laughter. When men talk about women together, their bond surely becomes intimate; these three were enjoying themselves immensely, looking like they were becoming close friends.
The foundation of trust comes from like-mindedness, and trust also comes with a price. After eating and getting in the car, Xu Tonglei picked his teeth in the back seat, unpacked a large package, and moved two pieces of Counterfeit Money to the front seat Co-Driver Xiao Mu threw it on his body and made arrangements: "I'm going to sell it later. There's someone I know here who wants 15,000 yuan. The price can't be lower than 10,000 yuan." This is a denomination of 100,000 yuan. In the eyes of big investors, this is a piece of cake. The business was done, Xiao Mu was so choked that his eyes were bulging, and he reminded: "Uncle Lei, Brother Monk, just... go to Contact?" "What about that? I'll send you two How much do you make as a bodyguard?" Wang Lishong asked displeased. These two idiots are weak when they see the police, but they can be tough when they don't see the police. Moreover, this pair of thieves are very brave. There seems to be no rules to follow in doing this. Anyway, they are acquaintances. After meeting each other, they directly arranged to have sex. The money was delivered immediately. Xu Tonglei changed his mobile phone and contacted another company. As he talked, he was almost at the agreed place. In a primary school, Wang Lishong taught you to go to that intersection to Alley Liguai, delivery and payment. "Isn't this... too hasty?" Xiao Mu Take a look, I really can't imagine it is so simple. "The total is only ten thousand yuan, how grand do you want it to be? Go quickly, go quickly, we are still rushing to the next one." Xu Tonglei urged. Now you can't help but flinch, Xiao Mu got out of the car with "money" in his pocket, sneaking around, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, his expression was like saying he was a thief, so he just gave up, two small packages He held it in his hand and walked struttingly, turning in front of the school and entering Alley. After waiting for a long time, two twisted melons Twisted Gourd Man staggered over. "Send me the money?" the other party asked. "Ah, ten tricks, one and a half." Xiao Mu said, which means the face value of one hundred thousand, settled at 15%. "Stop talking, it was the same last time." Crooked Melon Man was angry. "The price has gone up. If I lose one and a half, I won't sell it. The boss said it." Xiao Mu bargained. "Where's the stuff?" Twisted Gourd Man asked. Xiao Mu raised his hand, and the man tore open half of it and took out two sheets. When he looked at it, Xiao Mu deceived: "We have watermarks, hot stamping bars, and hand-carved embossings, and the coated paper can't compare." This." "It's not fake anymore, one point and two, no more," Twisted Gourd Man pouted.
He thought he was the one who bought the goods, so Xiao Mu took away the two he had got and said, "Don't knock them down." "Hey... one-thirty." "No." "That's almost enough. Damn it." "It's really money." "Then give me the money." Crooked Melon Man wrapped a pile of paper and counted another three thousand dollars, then handed it to Xiao Mu. Xiao Mu had already taken the one in his hand, and just at this moment, the police siren sounded, and the expressions of the two men suddenly changed. One said angrily, "Oh no, you called the police"; the other shouted: Run quickly. Xiao Mu grabbed the person who took the goods and snatched the goods back. He threw the money back and cursed: "Who are you playing with? What the hell am I doing? You are teasing me with Counterfeit Money. Get out of here... If you dare to do anything, "Okay, believe it or not, if I shout, my brother will come up and kill you." Xiao Mu was really angry. The three thousand he threw back was real, and the other one was wrapped in paper. With their hands open, a corner of them was exposed. If you didn’t look carefully, you wouldn’t be able to tell that it was Counterfeit Money. These two guys made Xiao Mu angry and said, he pointed at each other’s pants pocket and said: “Oh, you’re still playing high. Technology? Where is the remote control alarm..." He turned around and left, but the two became anxious. One of them gave Xiao Mu the real money with a smile on his face, and Xiao Mu looked at it again. After putting the goods in the hands of the two of them, after the transaction was completed, Wang Lishong appeared, sniffing and scolding: "You two are ****, no one wants to fool you, right? No matter how unclean your hands and feet are, you can't do it." There won't be another time." "Don't dare." "Yes...just walk slowly." The two of them walked along the wall with their goods in their hands, and Xiao Mu swaggered out and asked displeasedly. "Don't you remind me if these two things are not clean?" "Why don't I keep guard? If they really succeed in cheating, I will accept them all," Wang Lishong laughed, hugging Xiao Mu and praised them. : "Okay, I'm sure I've been around before. I even know these things." "I've seen worse things than this. What a coincidence. They took the money and then sounded the alarm. You two fools." Xiao Mu said.
Wang Lishong laughed heartily. However, making such a judgment in an instant was not something just anyone could do. As they got into the car to leave, Xu Tonglei gave Xiao Mu a thumbs up, sincerely praising him.
"A genius! Absolutely a genius! It’s obvious you know what you’re doing. I was worried you might get taken advantage of."
While counting the money, he spoke about the hardships of this line of work. It wasn’t easy; the clients were all sorts, mostly scammers who would lure you in, and before you knew it, a group would be robbing you of your goods. Sometimes they would set traps, like creating a false alarm to scare you into exchanging your Counterfeit Money for something worthless. There were even worse cases where the transaction was just a setup for robbery, and once robbed, there was no place to seek justice.
In short, it was a tough world out there.
That’s why they resorted to this guerrilla tactic of hitting and running. Xiao Mu had witnessed the peculiarities of these Counterfeit Money dealers. Along the way to their destination, they could easily find one or two subordinates. With a phone call or two, they could deal in amounts ranging from three hundred thousand to five hundred thousand, or as little as eighty thousand to one hundred thousand. As they traveled southward, by the time night fell, the Counterfeit Money in the trunk had transformed into genuine Renminbi.
It seemed these two weren’t the main players; otherwise, they wouldn’t be so interested in such small amounts. The risk factor was too low for them to be flaunting hundreds of thousands like this.
Xiao Mu thought with annoyance that anyone hiring these two would be unlucky; look at how they were digging into corners and stuffing their own pockets. The two were excitedly planning their next fun outing—where to go? It didn’t matter; they’d head to whichever nearby city was closest.
People like this were hard to catch; really, they probably didn’t even have a destination themselves. Where could one even begin to look for them?
In a car with three people, taking advantage of the night, they sped toward a brilliantly lit city…
