Chapter 1678 Won't Attract Much Attention

"Report to the captain, no contraband was found here." Yue Ming reported to the radio.

"What?" Li Qiang's voice revealed disbelief, "Search carefully again to make sure nothing is missing."

Yue Ming and Zhang Jie looked at each other and once again led the assault team to conduct a blanket search of the mansion. But the results are still disappointing, there really isn't any contraband here.

"Captain, we did not find any contraband." Zhang Jie reported again, "Besides, this doesn't look like the village chief's home."

Li Qiang was silent for a moment in the headquarters, and then decisively issued an order: "Evacuate the mansion immediately, seal off the entire Panjia Village, and search every household."

As the order was issued, the anti-narcotics team and armed police soldiers took quick action. They searched house to house, leaving no corner untouched. However, as time passed, they found no trace of the drugs.

"How is this possible?" Li Qiang frowned, "We have clearly locked the target, why did we get nothing?"

Yue Ming and Zhang Jie were also very confused. They clearly saw the luxury and unusualness of that mansion with their own eyes, so why didn't they find anything?

"Captain, could we have made a mistake?" Yue Ming asked tentatively, "Maybe that mansion is not our target."

"It's impossible." Li Qiang categorically denied, "Our information is accurate, there must be something wrong with that mansion. It's just that we may have missed something."

However, no matter how hard they searched, they could not catch Panjiacun.

This operation was undoubtedly a failure.

A few hours later.

Yue Ming and Zhang Jie lowered their heads and returned to the anti-drug brigade with heavy steps. Their faces were full of loss and self-blame, and the mistake of this operation weighed on their hearts like a huge boulder.

"Captain, we are back." Yue Ming broke the silence first, with deep apology in his voice.

Li Qiang put down the documents in his hands and looked up at them, his eyes deep and peaceful. He did not immediately blame, but quietly waited for their explanation.

"I'm sorry, captain, we messed up." Zhang Jie bit her lips and expressed the guilt in their hearts, "We originally thought that the mansion was the village chief's home, but we didn't expect..."

"It doesn't matter, this kind of situation is common in investigation work." Li Qiang interrupted her, his voice gentle but firm, "The important thing is that we must learn from the failure and move forward."

Yue Ming and Zhang Jie looked at each other and saw gratitude and respect in each other's eyes. They originally thought they would be severely criticized, but Li Qiang's understanding and encouragement allowed them to regain their confidence.

"Captain, I want to make up for this mistake." Yue Ming said suddenly, his eyes flashing with determination, "I thought of a person. He might be able to help us find Pan Hong, the head of Panjia Village."

"Oh? You mean..." Li Qiang raised his eyebrows and motioned for Yue Ming to continue.

"Yes, that is our recruit company instructor, Qin Yuan." Yue Ming said, "He is very familiar with the terrain and people in this area, and he also has a deep relationship with local informants. I believe that if he If you take action, you will definitely help us find Pan Hong."

After hearing this, Li Qiang pondered for a moment, then nodded: "Your proposal is worth a try. Then, it's up to you and Zhang Jie to find instructor Qin Yuan to see if you can get his help."

Yue Ming and Zhang Jie responded in unison, then turned and left the office. Their hearts are full of hope and expectation. This time they must make up for their mistakes and find the criminal drug leader Pan Hong.

However, things didn't go as smoothly as expected. When they found instructor Qin Yuan and explained their purpose, Qin Yuan frowned.

"Are you looking for Pan Hong?" Instructor Qin Yuan's tone was filled with surprise and doubt, "That guy is not ordinary cunning and dangerous. Are you sure you want to take the risk to find him?"

"Yes, instructor." Yue Ming said firmly, "This operation is very important to us, we must find him."

"But..." Instructor Qin Yuan seemed to want to say something more, but finally sighed, "Okay, now that you have decided, I will do my best to help you. However, you must be mentally prepared. , this operation could be very dangerous.”

Yue Ming and Zhang Jie looked at each other and smiled, their eyes shining with determination. They know that this operation will be full of challenges and dangers, but they are fully prepared.

However, Qin Yuan's arrival did not immediately lead to intense investigation work as Yue Ming expected.

On the contrary, Qin Yuan seemed to be more interested in the prosperity of Donghai City. He pulled Yue Ming and walked through the busiest neighborhoods in Donghai City, as if he was just an ordinary tourist.

"Instructor, aren't we here to see Pan Hong?" Yue Ming couldn't help but ask, his heart full of doubts and confusion.

Qin Yuan just smiled and pointed to a top buffet restaurant in front of him, "I heard that the buffet in this restaurant is very good. Let's fill our stomachs first and then talk about business."

Although Yue Ming was unwilling to do so, he still chose to follow him out of respect for the instructor. In the restaurant, the dazzling array of food was dazzling, but Qin Yuan didn't seem to care about it. He selected the food leisurely, and occasionally discussed the selection of ingredients and cooking techniques with Yue Ming.

After the meal, when the waiter handed over the bill, Qin Yuan smiled and pushed towards Yue Ming, "Today's meal is your treat."

Yue Ming was stunned. He didn't expect Qin Yuan to let him pay the bill. Although the meal was expensive, he paid for it without hesitation. However, the doubts in his heart deepened.

"Instructor, what are we doing in Donghai City?" After walking out of the restaurant, Yue Ming finally couldn't help asking the question in his heart.

Qin Yuan stopped and looked at Yue Ming, with a cunning light flashing in his eyes, "Do you think I'm just here for fun?"

Yue Ming nodded, "I really think so..."

"Then you are wrong." Qin Yuan interrupted him, "I brought you here not only to relax your nerves, but also to

To observe the city. "

"Observe the city?" Yue Ming was puzzled.

"Yes." Qin Yuan continued, "Each city has its own unique rhythm and atmosphere, and these can provide us with clues. Although Pan Hong is cunning, he is also a part of this city. By observing this city, we You can understand him better and even predict his actions."

Yue Ming was thoughtful after hearing this, and he began to understand Qin Yuan's intention. It turned out that this experienced instructor had already integrated investigation into every aspect of daily life.

"Then what should we do now?" Yue Ming asked.

"Now?" Qin Yuan smiled, "Of course we will continue our 'sightseeing' trip. But this time, we have to change places."

In an ordinary teahouse in Donghai City, Qin Yuan and Yue Ming sat opposite each other, the fragrance of tea lingering. Qin Yuan, the once all-powerful anti-narcotics instructor, was testing Yue Ming's observation and thinking abilities in an almost leisurely manner.

"Yue Ming, do you think these drug dealers have so much black money in their hands, do they dare to blatantly squander it here, eating and drinking?" Qin Yuan took a sip of tea, with a sharp look in his eyes.

Yue Ming pondered for a moment and shook his head, "I don't dare. Although they have money, the money is shady. If they dare to spend a lot of money here, I'm afraid they will soon attract the attention of the police."

"Yes, the analysis makes sense." Qin Yuan nodded, "Then, think about it again, if a person is a hidden rich man who doesn't want to attract attention but wants to enjoy his wealth, what will he do? "

Yue Ming frowned and thought, this problem was obviously more complicated than the first one. He knew that the hidden rich would definitely not go shopping in shopping malls or spend money at high-end restaurants like ordinary people, because it would be too easy to be spotted. So, how will they choose to spend their wealth?

Suddenly, an idea flashed in Yue Ming's mind, "Luxury house! They may choose to buy a luxury house so that they can enjoy a luxurious life while maintaining relative privacy."

Hearing this, Qin Yuan's eyes flashed with admiration, "Very good, Yue Ming, you really did not disappoint me. Luxury homes are indeed a good choice. They can not only satisfy the rich's pursuit of luxurious life, but also provide a relative A private space.”

At this point, Qin Yuan suddenly changed the topic, "So, do you think Pan Hong will also choose this method to hide his wealth?"

Yue Ming's heart moved, and he understood what Qin Yuan meant. If Pan Hong really chose to buy a mansion to hide his wealth, then their previous search direction may have been wrong. They had been looking for public places where Pan Hong might hang out, but they had overlooked that he might be hiding in a luxurious and secretive mansion.

"Instructor, what do you mean, we should focus our search on mansions?" Yue Ming asked tentatively.

Qin Yuan nodded, "Yes, and we are not only looking for Pan Hong, but also his entire drug trafficking network. The mansion is likely to be an important place for them to conduct transactions and hide."

Yue Ming took a deep breath and felt that the burden on his shoulders suddenly became much heavier. But he also understands that this is his responsibility and mission as an anti-drug policeman. He must find Pan Hong and his drug trafficking network as soon as possible and bring them to justice.

"Instructor, I know what to do." Yue Ming stood up with a firm look in his eyes, "I will immediately organize manpower to inspect the luxury houses in Donghai City one by one."

Qin Yuan also stood up. He patted Yue Ming's shoulder and said, "Very good, Yue Ming. I believe you can complete the task. Remember, no matter what difficulties you encounter, never give up."

Yue Ming nodded solemnly, turned and left the teahouse. He knows that the road ahead will be full of challenges and dangers, but he is fully prepared. He wants to uncover the drug dealers hiding behind the mansions one by one and bring peace to Donghai City.

The next day.

Yue Ming had been squatting beside the carved iron gate of Huadu Palace for a whole day and night. The sun turned from blazing to soft, and then as night fell, the moonlight filled the earth like water, but his eyes never left the door. His mission is to monitor this place, look for any possible suspicious persons, and provide clues to Qin Yuan. But time passed and he found nothing except the occasional residents and visitors coming in and out.

"Did I really make a mistake?" Yue Ming couldn't help but murmur in his heart, but he didn't dare to relax at all. After all, the task assigned by Qin Yuan was no small matter.

Finally, when the first ray of morning light illuminated the earth again, Yue Ming dragged his tired body back to Qin Yuan's office. Qin Yuan was sitting behind a large desk, tapping his fingers lightly on the table, his eyes as sharp as an eagle, as if he could see into people's hearts.

"How's it going? Did you find anything?" Qin Yuan's voice was low and powerful, with unquestionable authority.

Yue Ming shook his head, his face full of frustration: "No, I watched for a day and a night, and I didn't even see a shadow."

Qin Yuan frowned slightly, then relaxed. He stood up, walked to Yue Ming, and patted his shoulder: "It's impossible, Yue Ming. You must have missed it. Remember, truly suspicious people will not act sneaky, but may swagger in and out, because they know that the most dangerous place is the safest place."

When Yue Ming heard this, a glimmer of sudden enlightenment flashed in his eyes, but was soon replaced by doubt: "But, I..."

"No buts," Qin Yuan interrupted him, "Go again, this time with my words, look carefully, and observe every detail."

Yue Ming nodded. Although he still had doubts in his heart, he had no doubt in Qin Yuan's judgment. So he set out on the road to Huadu Haoting again, secretly vowing in his heart that he must find something this time.

This time, Yue Ming did not squat directly at the gate, but chose a relatively hidden corner, which could observe the situation of the gate without attracting too much attention. He began to observe every person who came in and out more carefully, from their dress to their behavior, even including the shoes on their feet and the items in their hands.

As time passed, Yue Ming's patience was almost exhausted. Just when he was about to give up, a detail suddenly caught his attention. A luxury car slowly drove into the gate of Huadu Haoting. The body of the car was as bright as new, but the tires were covered with mud, which formed a sharp contrast with the surrounding vehicles.

"This is not right." Yue Ming's heart trembled, and he immediately took out his mobile phone, quietly took a photo of the car, and wrote down the license plate number. Then, he quickly left the scene and returned to Qin Yuan's office.

"Boss Qin, I found something!" Yue Ming shouted excitedly as soon as he entered the door, showing the photos on his mobile phone to Qin Yuan.

Qin Yuan took the phone and looked at the car in the photo carefully, especially the tires covered with mud. A satisfied smile appeared on his lips: "Very good, Yue Ming, you did a good job this time. This car is likely to be the clue we are looking for."

Yue Ming was excited when he heard this. Finally, his efforts were recognized. More importantly, they were one step closer to the truth.

"But why is this car covered with mud?" Yue Ming asked puzzled.

"It's very simple," Qin Yuan explained, "If this car came from a remote or muddy place, then it makes sense that the tires are covered with mud. And such places often hide unknown secrets. We need to further investigate the whereabouts of this car and its owner."
