39: Enter the village! Massive search operation!

The two Captains took a full ten minutes to process everything.

Finally.

They accepted this absurd reality.

If they could even pick up the corpse of an S-class fugitive, what's wrong with picking up some evidence?

...The night passed without incident.

The first ray of morning sun shone through the car window.

Officer Hong and Captain Xu Tianlong woke up.

Accustomed to high-intensity, high-pressure work, the two stood at the entrance of Tazhai Village.

Whether the veil of Tazhai Village could be lifted depended entirely on today.

For this reason.

Officer Hong specifically sought out Bureau Chief Chen to explain the situation.

He applied for the maximum possible support for this operation.

"Old Hong, you've really outdone yourself."

"Not only did the Anti-Methamphetamine Brigade arrive, but the Anti-Methamphetamine Dogs carefully trained by the Bureau were also deployed!"

"Coupled with precision instruments... that should give them a good run for their money!"

Xu Tianlong was full of confidence.

As the Anti-Methamphetamine Brigade arrived, the three Captains gathered to discuss countermeasures.

At seven o'clock.

Su Yun woke up and wandered aimlessly at the village entrance.

Suddenly, the system's mechanical voice echoed in his mind.

"Ding! Sign-in successful! Wishing the Host a full basket!"

"Today's sign-in reward: Constitution +1, Wisdom +1!"

"Today's fortune: Great luck!"

Not bad, not bad.

Although it was a bit regrettable that there were no special rewards, at least there was no danger, right?

Su Yun strolled at the village entrance, warming up.

Photographer Wang Fan had already started his livestream early.

His popularity soared straight to over 100,000!

The bullet comments were quickly flooded by fans and netizens.

— "Wow, it's so nice to see the Streamer so early in the morning!"

— "Yesterday's broadcast ended too early, it kept me up all night!"

— "Eh? Why is it so lively around the Streamer? So many police cars, so many Police Officers!"

— "The Streamer couldn't have picked up something he shouldn't have again, could he?"

— "No way... Third time's the charm, how could the Streamer be so unlucky every day?"

— "Streamer, do a backflip for me!"

Popularity +1 +1 +1

Popularity +1 +1 +1

...The traffic in the livestream room grew steadily.

Getting better and better.

Wang Fan chuckled, pointing his camera at the police cars that had already been equipped.

"Brothers."

"Today we're taking you to the famous Tazhai Village to pick up junk."

"Of course, simply picking up junk is too boring."

"To increase the fun and entertainment, we've specially invited many guests for everyone!"

Wang Fan's mischievous words echoed in the livestream room.

Looking at the police cars and the incredibly cool armored vehicles, hundreds of thousands of fans and netizens were buzzing.

— "Holy cow! Streamer, you'd better explain!"

— "What kind of special guests can invite the SWAT Team, the Criminal Investigation Team, and the Anti-Methamphetamine Brigade?!"

— "This means something big is happening!"

— "What exactly happened last night? Streamer, don't make me beg you on my knees!"

— "Damn it, so many people? Am I dreaming? I'm still a bit unaccustomed to this..."

...The police planned and formulated their strategy.

Afterward, Officer Hong approached Su Yun.

"Brother Su Yun, have you found anything?"

Su Yun shook his head: "No."

"It's just..."

He raised his hand and pointed to an alley in Tazhai Village.

Large and small, very conspicuous banners hung inside.

On the walls, there were slogans painted with white paint.

"Officer Hong."

"I only found out this morning."

"This Tazhai Village is one of the national model Anti-Methamphetamine villages?"

"These slogans... seem a bit like 'protesting too much'..."

Su Yun hit the nail on the head.

Officer Hong nodded with a bitter smile.

"It's shameful to admit."

"Our Longhai City Police Bureau, the Anti-Methamphetamine Brigade, has come to Tazhai Village to search more than once or twice."

"No matter how we search, this Tazhai Village is always clean."

"In fact, for many consecutive years, it was even rated as a model Anti-Methamphetamine village."

It might sound ironic, but it was the truth.

After a moment of silence.

Officer Hong took a deep breath, "Fortunately, this time I applied to the Bureau for assistance."

"I hope the Anti-Methamphetamine Dogs and the precise high-tech instruments can find something."

...Everything was ready.

All Police Officers, in groups of four.

Either leading Anti-Methamphetamine Dogs or holding precise scanning instruments.

They lined up in a row, standing at the entrance of Tazhai Village, a mighty and imposing sight.

In contrast, the villagers of Tazhai Village.

Under the guidance of Village Director, had all evacuated their houses.

To make enough space for the search.

"Officer Hong, I wish you good luck!"

Village Director, surrounded by a group of elders and family heads, smiled and greeted them.

Officer Hong: "..."

He felt very uncertain.

But, since they had come all this way, there was no turning back.

"All teams."

"Proceed as planned!"

"Search carefully!"

The three Captains led their respective teams and set off.

The spectacle was grand.

The visual impact was strong.

— "Holy cow! I think I understand something!"

— "Aren't those wearing those uniforms from the Anti-Methamphetamine Brigade?"

— "What's going on? Could the rock sugar found at Heaven on Earth yesterday be related to Tazhai Village?"

— "By the way, isn't Tazhai Village a model Anti-Methamphetamine village? Could the police be mistaken?"

— "If rock sugar is really found in Tazhai Village, then this 'model' title would truly be a slap in the face!"

— "Eating melon, watching the show! Joining the fun!"

...At the village entrance.

Su Yun and Wang Fan stood there.

Village Director and the others looked over from time to time.

"My Brother, should we do something?"

Wang Fan felt uncomfortable all over.

At this moment, Village Director walked over first.

"Gentlemen."

"What do you think, will the police find rock sugar this time?"

Village Director's tone carried a hint of disdain.

"..."

Su Yun was silent.

He couldn't guarantee whether Officer Hong would find anything.

But, judging by Village Director's demeanor, he was very confident.

"I hope Officer Hong and his group can find something."

Su Yun said faintly.

"Hmph..."

"You four-eyed nerd."

"My Brother said there's no such thing as an airtight wall in this world."

"Justice will never be late."

"Wait to accept the judgment of the law!"

Wang Fan had enough of being stared at by a bunch of rude villagers.

He forcefully pulled Su Yun and rushed to follow behind the search team.

"My Brother..."

"Since we're already here."

"We can't go back empty-handed, can we?"

"I heard that this Tazhai Village is incredibly rich."

"The junk in this place should be very valuable, right?"

Whether it was to avoid the villagers or truly to pick up junk, Wang Fan took the lead.

Following behind the police search.

Su Yun and his group reaped a rich harvest along the way.

Just as the system had blessed them early in the morning: wishing them a full basket.

It had to be said.

This Tazhai Village was truly wealthy.

The latest top-spec iPhone 15, just thrown away?

In one morning.

Su Yun had picked up two!

The program's backend salary display showed another significant increase!

"My Brother, I finally understand why Tazhai Village doesn't allow outsiders in."

"This is... a veritable land of fortune!"

"Keeping the good stuff to themselves, these rude villagers are so cunning..."

Wang Fan never dreamed he would one day pick up an iPhone 15.

How awesome was that... Noon.

The big sun shone directly on their foreheads.

Su Yun's basket was overflowing.

He found a place to cool off and rest.

Coincidentally, he arrived at the Tazhai Village Committee, where they had first accidentally trespassed.

Stepping into the courtyard.

What greeted their eyes was the ancestral hall filled with ancestral tablets.

"My Brother, there are offerings here!"

"Lunch is sorted!"
