CHAPTER 214: CHAPTER 106: LOCKDOWN, STRIKE!

"Gun...?"

The person on the other end hesitated distinctly upon hearing Zhang Feng’s request for a gun, but quickly promised:

"Does the Chief have any requirements for the gun model?"

"AK, preferably."

Zhang Feng distanced himself a bit from nearby pedestrians to avoid arousing suspicion.

"I’ll apply for a loan from the local special task force right now." The intelligence officer moved away from the phone to make arrangements.

Because if it really was the rats, and if the rats actually had guns,

then even during an investigation, having some security measures in place was necessary.

However, the criminal police, upon hearing that Zhang Feng wanted to investigate alone, worried about his safety and picked up the phone again:

"Chief, wait a minute!

I’m contacting a brother unit to have them cooperate with you.

But we need them to sign a confidentiality agreement, because if it really turns out to be an unknown creature committing the crime, news getting out could cause panic."

"Alright."

Hearing that someone would be assisting him, Zhang Feng nodded and professionally said:

"Send the agreement directly to the nearest police station in the Northern Ring area. I’ll go there now to coordinate.

If you think there’s an issue, the sooner, the better. Just assign a few veteran criminal investigators to accompany me.

They don’t need to handle other matters, just investigate and determine the suspect’s location.

I’ll also assign a train marshal; he’s skilled, and I’m familiar with his way of thinking.

Make an extra copy of the confidentiality agreement so he can participate in this operation as well."

Since it was a temporary team-up, and not part of any planned arrangement, Zhang Feng still wanted to bring someone he knew along.

After all, he often watched the ’junior marshal’ catch thieves, thus becoming familiar with some of his actions and thought patterns.

This way, with him as a ’lubricant,’ cooperating with several unfamiliar criminal investigators would create a harmonious blend, and the whole team would work more cohesively without undergoing a lengthy collaboration period.

After all, Zhang Feng was a ’Grand Captain,’ having led special task forces across several provinces, and understood these matters well.

"Hmm, I’ll arrange it now." The criminal investigator wasn’t particularly surprised to see how well-versed and investigative Zhang Feng was.

Because Zhang Feng was originally the administrator on the train, regularly interacting with both the train marshal and the train station police.

Besides, there were many confidential operations associated with secret arrests.

After hanging up, the criminal investigator began making arrangements.

Meanwhile, back in Peng City.

Zhang Feng looked at the surveillance cameras around the supermarket.

’Just as I suspected, as the number of surveillance cameras increases and more technology comes online,

these rats will find it very hard to hide.

Any suspicious place will be scrutinized.

But during this period, it’s best to get rid of them.

Otherwise, more innocent people will be harmed.’

As Zhang Feng contemplated this, he called his apprentice.

Meanwhile, at the train station.

His apprentice was online, writing this application report, when suddenly, the phone rang.

The caller ID read ’Legendary Train Chief.’

He picked up.

Zhang Feng’s voice came through, "You’ve got forty minutes. Meet at the north second ring police station entrance. We have a case to solve."

"Yes!" The apprentice replied, looking at the unfinished report in his hand, originally wanting to ask about submitting the report.

But thinking the Chief might scold him for ’not knowing priorities,’ he didn’t ask and just left directly.

...

Thirty-two minutes later.

Zhang Feng and Xiaowu first arrived at the local police station.

"Hello, Chief Zhang!"

"Chief Zhang!"

"I’m leading the team this time..."

Standing at the entrance were six criminal investigators of varying ages, introducing themselves to Zhang Feng.

They had seen the photos provided by their superiors and knew what Zhang Feng looked like.

Moreover, Zhang Feng, also known as Chief Zhang, in that train uniform, had been dubbed as the online ’Super Chief’ over the past year.

The most crucial point was that because of his association with the train, Zhang Feng had registered files in police offices across many provinces.

Both police and military were generally aware of Zhang Feng’s situation.

All these factors combined.

If they couldn’t recognize him, they wouldn’t be fit for their roles.

Meanwhile, a burly man carrying a gun case eyed Zhang Feng up and down. Once he confirmed the resemblance, he took a few steps forward, saluted, and excitedly handed over the gun case.

"Hello, Chief!"

His eyes gleamed with the eagerness to work with Zhang Feng.

"Hello." Zhang Feng took the gun and asked, "Are you participating in the investigation as well?"

"Report! No!" He spoke with a firm voice.

"Hmm, follow along." Seeing that the man had some skills and seemed swift, Zhang Feng directly included him.

The burly man became even more thrilled.

Right then, they didn’t waste time on the formalities for transferring the gun.

A criminal investigator directly gestured towards the station, "Chief Zhang, would you like to review the video and materials first?"

"Let’s go."

Zhang Feng picked up the gun bag and was ready to proceed.

Whoosh—

A taxi stopped, and his apprentice got out.

"Chief!"

Getting out of the car, he first shouted, then looked at Zhang Feng, leading a group with an authoritative aura, and felt somewhat restrained.

"Always talking about tackling big jobs, but gets cold feet when it’s time." Zhang Feng beckoned, "Don’t waste time. Come over quickly."

After saying so.

Zhang Feng continued walking, glancing at the service attendant Xiaowu, who was completely bewildered at this point.

He was now just following on instinct, unable to contribute anything.

"You go back first." Zhang Feng said while walking, patting his shoulder, "Buy some cured beef for Old Zhao."

"Alright, alright..." Xiaowu nodded hurriedly, relieved, and jogged away.

Soon after, they arrived in a meeting room inside the police station.

Because it involved confidentiality, there were no additional personnel to hold a welcome ceremony for Zhang Feng.

On the table were only files.
