108: Yuan, are you crazy?

Liang Yuzhu is not a god.

She also doesn't wear her underwear outside her clothes.

Of course, wearing red underwear, and swaggering around showing off her natural color to everyone, is such a vulgar thing that Liang Yuzhu wouldn't do it even if it really gave her superpowers.

After all, she is a woman, and a beautiful woman at that. While not narcissistic, she is at least satisfied with her appearance.

This greatly reflects the high quality of Police.

Of course, Liang Yuzhu is also not just a pretty face. The reason she could become the Captain of the Criminal Investigation Corps is not just because she understands computers and networks and can keep up with the times.

She graduated from Police academy, and she graduated with perfect scores. Whether it was firearms usage, combat techniques, or even investigation, interrogation, and other subjects, she got full marks.

These skills played a huge role in her few years as a police officer, allowing her to achieve many merits. It was precisely because of this that after the previous Captain had to retire early due to a work injury, Director Zhang gave the crucial position of Captain of the Criminal Investigation Corps to the young her, and there was no strong opposition.

But no matter how capable she is, she doesn't think she has the strength to take on a group by herself. Especially when she has no equipment right now.

Before, Yuan hadn't told her what he was going to do at all, so she only brought her basic service pistol, a Type 92, when she went out this time.

She had no bulletproof vest, no helmet, no combat uniform, and even the shoes she was wearing were just ordinary soft shoes.

Daring to go alone into the bandits' lair to rescue a hostage in this state, Liang Yuzhu believed she would create the biggest scandal since the Municipal Bureau was established.

A Captain of the Criminal Investigation Corps being captured by bandits and held hostage, perhaps even suffering a wave of inhuman humiliation.

However, if Yuan wasn't fooling her, then this opportunity was indeed very rare!

Sun Xiangdong is already dead. Although Police have not given up the investigation, everyone knows that the most valuable piece of evidence has disappeared.

After all, based on the intelligence already gathered, Sun Xiangdong was very likely the only person in the smuggling group who had direct contact with Wang Lin, otherwise Wang Lin wouldn't have acted against him.

With the most crucial link missing, Wang Lin could completely push all the blame onto Sun Xiangdong. After all, the only person who could testify against him was Sun Xiangdong, and dead people can't talk.

In such a situation, while Police could certainly find some clues, and even gather some evidence of Wang Lin's crimes, Liang Yuzhu judged based on her experience that it was highly likely they could only arrest Wang Lin on charges like illegal business operations or money laundering.

Both of these charges are minor offenses, with sentences of less than five years, which is clearly far from what Liang Yuzhu and the others hoped for.

For Police, represented by Liang Yuzhu, if Wang Lin is not sentenced to life imprisonment or more, it will represent a failure of Police operation!

But if they catch Wang Lin at the kidnapping scene, it's different.

Kidnapping is a serious crime, starting with a sentence of five years or more. If the circumstances are slightly more severe, such as using a weapon like a firearm, or acting as a group, the sentence is ten years to life imprisonment.

Furthermore, the fact that Wang Lin would kidnap an innocent Sales Director clearly indicates that the Sales Director named Lin Jia must have some crucial evidence. Otherwise, with Wang Lin's calculated nature, he wouldn't attack her at this critical moment.

"Hmm, do you know how many bandits are inside the wholesale market, and what kind of weapons they have?" she asked tentatively.

"I'm not very clear, but I estimate the number won't be small, and it's very likely they are all real hardened criminals," Yuan said calmly.

"How do you know?" Liang Yuzhu frowned.

"It's simple. Sun Xiangdong was also involved in smuggling, so he would definitely pay great attention to his safety, especially when things are this tense."

"He definitely also had his subordinates and thugs!"

"However, he still died at Wang Lin's hands, which indicates that Wang Lin sent a group of extremely professional bandits."

"This group of professional bandits likely eliminated Sun Xiangdong by infiltrating, but even if the infiltration wasn't successful, this group of bandits must have been prepared for a direct firefight and eliminating Sun Xiangdong."

"Because Sun Xiangdong had to die! With Wang Lin's personality, he would definitely ensure this!"

"And at the same time, Wang Lin is distancing himself from the smuggling group, so he couldn't possibly use people from the smuggling group anymore."

Without waiting for Yuan to continue, Liang Yuzhu subconsciously nodded, "Therefore, Wang Lin must also have an independent team of thugs under him, and these teams of thugs are professional hardened criminals with strong combat capabilities."

She actually thought the same thing. This is also inevitable. Anyone involved in smuggling would have a few desperadoes around, right?

However, this also shows that Yuan's request is a completely terrible idea. If the two of them didn't truly have no grudges, and had even cooperated quite pleasantly so far, Liang Yuzhu would have suspected if Yuan was deliberately trying to kill her.

"Let's call for backup instead. Let the professional SWAT team be dispatched," she said seriously.

"If you call for backup, can you ensure the safety of the hostage? Do you think Wang Lin will yield under pressure from Police?" Yuan's tone remained calm.

Liang Yuzhu was immediately speechless.

She really wanted to answer "yes," but she really couldn't say that word.

Liang Yuzhu was very clear about the SWAT team's assault tactics and procedures. After all, criminal police often cooperate with SWAT.

While the SWAT team is certainly very professional, powerful, and well-equipped, they are also not gods.

The Hehe Aquatic Product Wholesale Market is located underground, which means many SWAT tactics cannot be used, such as long-range sniping.

Furthermore, there is another disadvantage underground: the entrance is narrow and the only one. The SWAT team has no room for secret infiltration and can only resort to a frontal assault.

If it were other bandits, facing a frontal assault by the SWAT team, they would definitely be afraid, hesitate, and struggle between surrendering and resisting stubbornly. But Wang Lin, even without having dealt with him, just based on the information Liang Yuzhu had, this kind of thing wouldn't happen to him.

It is highly likely that the moment he discovers the SWAT team, he will immediately kill the hostage and then escape through some secret passage.

After all, these underground civil defense facilities were dug out in the last century. At that time, the whole population was digging tunnels, and there was no order or planning whatsoever.

Many tunnels are unknown even to the people who dug them back then, let alone Police decades later.

However, just because Police don't know about these tunnels doesn't mean the smugglers who use this place as their base don't know either.

This is indeed a problem.

Liang Yuzhu frowned and asked, "Then do you have a plan?"

"Let's get this straight first. If your plan is for me to rush in alone to rescue someone, I absolutely will not do it. I don't want to die," she added bluntly.

"There is indeed a plan. Do you know what the essential facilities of a seafood market are?" Yuan's voice became ethereal again, clearly indicating that he had started moving again.

"What is it? A cold storage?" Liang Yuzhu asked back doubtfully.

"Wait, you're not talking about the sewer, are you?" she suddenly realized.

"It seems you're not as stupid as you look," Yuan said with his usual sarcasm.

Liang Yuzhu gritted her teeth.

seafood markets do have sewers. Of course, every unit has sewers, but the sewers in a seafood market are different.

Because seafood markets require a large amount of water, and many seafood consumers eat it directly as sashimi, while the internal organs, scales, and bones left over from processing fish are very prone to breeding harmful bacteria or being contaminated by parasites.

Therefore, the government has clearly stipulated various parameters for the sewers in seafood markets. One crucial point is that the pipe diameter must not be less than forty centimeters.

Forty centimeters is just wide enough for an adult to crawl into, provided they are relatively slender.

More precisely, it's for an adult woman. An adult man would likely get stuck in the pipe.

This is indeed a very good infiltration route, and it could even be said to be tailor-made for Liang Yuzhu.

However, it's only relatively good.

Not to mention the psychological pressure brought about by the narrow space, and the suffocating stench of rotten internal organs and filth, which Liang Yuzhu could still try to say she could overcome.

But she couldn't overcome another problem.

Most sewer pipes are metal, and crawling inside metal pipes will make noise.

And Liang Yuzhu, inside the pipe, couldn't see outside. She had no idea if there were criminals right above her. Once she accidentally alerted the other side, Liang Yuzhu, being in the narrow pipe, would have nowhere to escape. It would be like catching a turtle in a jar.

"We still need to call for backup. Even if others don't participate in the attack, someone must help distract the criminals to create an opportunity for me to get through the pipe," Liang Yuzhu gritted her teeth fiercely.

"The more people there are, the greater the chance of exposure. Wang Lin won't give you time or opportunity to infiltrate at all. It's highly likely that the moment he discovers Police have arrived, he will immediately kill the hostage and escape."

"Then what should I do? It's impossible for me to complete the infiltration mission alone. Someone must provide cover and assistance," Liang Yuzhu was also a bit annoyed.

"You seem to have forgotten about my existence," Yuan's voice was still calm, but Liang Yuzhu heard something unusual in it.

"You mean," Liang Yuzhu's frown deepened, "you'll provide cover for me? How do you plan to do that?"

"Just like this," Yuan's voice sounded again. The next second, a figure suddenly appeared at the entrance of the Hehe Aquatic Product Wholesale Market.

"I've already found the entrance to the drainage pipe for you. It's behind the wall on the east side of the entrance. There's a manhole cover there, and I've prepared a little equipment for you."

"Alright, I'm going in now. Hurry up."

The call ended, and Liang Yuzhu remained stunned in the car.

She watched, dumbfounded, as the figure in the distance disappeared into the entrance of the air-raid shelter, unable to speak.

Yuan, are you crazy?
