Chapter 1410: Defensive Measures
I was also very angry when I saw that man in grey clothes run away. I grabbed Axin’s right arm and said, "What are you doing? Pay for my food!"
Axinn picked up the vegetable basket and placed it on Aying’s head, lightly covering her uncle’s head: "Crazy, I’ll give it back to you!"
The two no longer paid attention to the old man and continued to chase the man in grey. It wasn’t long before the entire hallway echoed with the old man’s shout: "You old fool!"
The man in the grey clothes saw that his little trick had succeeded, keeping Axin and Aying separated for quite some time. He couldn’t help but laugh. He ran downstairs and glanced back at the abandoned Axin and Aying.
The corner of the grey man’s mouth curled into a smile, and he couldn’t help but run even faster. The grey man looked proudly at Xin and Ying and then turned his head to face forward.
Just as the man in grey clothes turned his head, his eyes met a white, delicate fist swinging his way. The man in the grey clothes didn’t expect someone to be in front of him, nor did he realize it beforehand. Without any preventive measures, that white delicate fist landed heavily on the man in grey’s right jaw. The immense impact directly struck the grey man, sending him flying.
Jiang Guangrong put his hand in his trouser pocket and slowly walked to the stairway. He turned around and saw a man in a grey coat riding on Tian Jue’s right foot. Jiang Guangrong sincerely gave a thumbs-up.
The man in grey struggled and shouted, "Who are you? What are you doing? Let me go, or I’ll report to the police!"
"Hey, call the police, huh?" Jiang Guangrong laughed, "Friend, I’m afraid you haven’t understood the situation? The four of us are the police. Miss Sunx Han reported it. Our chief sent a few people to protect Miss Sunx and investigate who was spying on Miss Sunx! Getting caught today is just unlucky for you. Come back to the station with me!"
The man in grey felt a bit flustered at Jiang Guangrong’s words, but he still couldn’t speak.
Jiang Guangrong looked at Tian Jue with a profound gaze. Tian Jue was shocked, then understood what Jiang Guangrong meant.
Tian Jue stepped on the grey man’s foot, applying more force. He said in a strange tone, "Did this guy make Aying and Axin chase him just to bring him back to the station? That’s too easy for him? No, I’m not doing that. I need to vent and take him back!"
Aying, being clever, immediately understood Jiang Guangrong and Tian Jue’s intention. Aying walked forward and stepped on the grey man’s palm with her foot: "Yeah, Captain, can’t take him back just like that. It’s too easy for him. We were exhausted chasing him. If it weren’t for Sister Qiu, we wouldn’t have caught him. We should give him a beating before taking him back. Besides, we should have a good fight!"
"Yes, yes!" Axin agreed, "If we take him back with injuries, we’ll say he resisted arrest and tried to kill the detective. Only then can we arrest him! This is a big deal, let’s not face it temporarily!"
Jiang Guangrong waved his right hand, saying, "First, let’s take the car back!"
"Okay!"
Aying and Axin dragged the listless grey-clothed man to the car. Jiang Guangrong and Tian Jue stayed in place.
After the three left, Tian Jue asked, puzzled, "Why pretend to be detectives?"
"If this guy screams for help when taking him out, it’ll be troublesome. Let him die! Also... he’s not the mastermind!"
"Not him? What do you mean?"
"This guy was instructed by someone else. Although he was scared after being caught, he didn’t beg for mercy. I guess he’s also tight-lipped. We have to find a way to make him talk. More importantly, his eyes don’t show a motive to commit a crime. His eyes don’t look like someone pitiful..."
"But when I look at you, you don’t look like me, but why are you so foul-mouthed?"
"Damn..."
Soon, Jiang Guangrong and Tian Jue returned to the car. Jiang Guangrong sent a message to Sunx Han, telling him they caught the person and to prepare for interrogation.
Sunx Han was relieved upon receiving the message, smiling sweetly and quietly looking out the window.
Jiang Guangrong took the man in grey to a secluded, dim room. Jiang Guangrong smiled and removed a black bag from the man’s head: "Isn’t it difficult doing your business? Making this kind of money, but the risk is huge!"
Jiang said, unzipping the large travel bag that the man carried with a grey zipper, then lightly poured out its contents. A flash of anger crossed the man’s face, but he said nothing.
Jiang Guangrong picked up the camera from the grey man’s bag, looking at the grey man in surprise: "Wow, is this camera a Panasonic brand? Is it one of Dongyang’s good products? Tens of thousands? You’re quite the wealthy man!"
The grey man’s mouth twitched for a while, but he still didn’t speak.
Jiang Guangrong began looking through the pictures on the camera, speaking in a low voice: "You’re well-equipped but not skilled. Look at this mess of things you brought. I even hoped you took some personal photos of Miss Sunx so I could admire them under the guise of investigation. You’ve really let me down! Useless!"
The man in grey was stunned: "Are you the police?"
Aying fiercely slapped the grey man’s head: "Do we look like you’re responsible detectives talking nonsense?"
The man in grey looked at Jiang Guangrong with a sorrowful expression, saying aggrievedly: "You even locked me up here. Aren’t you a detective who doesn’t care?"
"Oh? You have your reasons, right?" Jiang Guangrong laughed, "You’re doubting whether we’re the police? Okay, I’ll show you my badge!"
Jiang Guangrong immediately slapped the man across his grey face: "See? This is my badge! Have you seen enough?"
"Enough, enough..." The man in grey almost cried, nodding.
Jiang Guangrong turned around and continued rifling through the grey man’s bag: "Wow, impressive. The 95th Xia Da optical telescope. Why spend thousands of yuan? Every telescope is worth thousands. Wealthy, wealthy man! Oh, and a handy fake small camera, also a great Eastern product. Tens of thousands, how about that? This set of equipment is worth a hundred thousand! Aying, these are this guy’s tools. They will be confiscated on the spot!"
"Okay!" Aying happily took some instruments from Jiang Guangrong’s hands.
"What?" the man in grey said? "Confiscate? You’re... not the police!"
Jiang Guangrong slapped the man on his grey face with a backhand, "Do you want me to show you my badge again?"
The man in grey sat back on the ground, face full of anxiety.
Jiang Guangrong grinned; the man, who refused to show weakness, finally revealed his vulnerability. Jiang Guangrong said lightly, "Aying, this gentleman is right. We are indeed the people’s detectives and can’t handle things just for our own benefit."
"What? Give it back to him like this?" Aying looked at the treasure worth over ten thousand in her hand, unwilling to give it up.
"No, no, no..." Jiang Guangrong shook his head, "It’s too cheap, can’t give it back to him. It would upset me. Don’t ask anyone for this for the time being; just break it. When I come back, I’ll say this guy resisted arrest. In the process of arresting him, all the equipment was accidentally broken! If I beat him, I’ll take him back to close the case. Anyway, I’m sure he won’t tell us anything about his deadpan face. Even if I ask, I won’t ask anything. Alright, that’ll do. I’ll smash things up. If I beat him, I’ll take him back to close the case!"
"Oh..." Aying nodded.
