386: Chapter 386: Deploying 300 police officers for the first arrest.

This… they were far too bold, acting so blatantly, actually cleaning their guns and performing maintenance without any rush.

Wei Xinglong's gaze narrowed slightly, but fortunately, he managed to control himself, knowing he couldn't show any abnormal reactions.

Qin Chuan's reaction was much more normal; he took the initiative to cup his hands in a greeting, full of the habits of a gangland boss.

"Hello, Boss Cai."

Village Chief Cai Jiadong lifted his eyes to look at them, and said unhurriedly, "Where are these guests from?"

The villager who had brought Qin Chuan and the others over quickly replied, "Boss, they are from Hong Kong and want to buy some of our goods."

Upon hearing that they wanted to buy goods, Village Chief Cai Jiadong's expression softened slightly, though not by much. He gestured for Qin Chuan and the others to take a seat and began to interrogate them.

Because he had the system, Qin Chuan basically knew everything about the situation in Hong Kong like the back of his hand, so he answered fluently without any flaws.

Village Chief Cai Jiadong's suspicions lessened significantly. "How much product do you want?"

Qin Chuan said, "How much product do you have!"

Except for Village Chief Cai Jiadong, the rest of the people in Cai Family Village burst into laughter. A small underling said arrogantly, "As for our goods, we have as much as you want."

Qin Chuan knew their production volume was much higher than he had estimated. "Then I underestimated you. I need 100 kilograms per month."

Village Chief Cai Jiadong said, "No problem, but it must be payment on delivery, and the price is this much per gram."

He held up five fingers. That meant fifty yuan per gram.

Qin Chuan frowned slightly. "Boss Cai, this price is too high. The wholesale price has always been thirty."

Village Chief Cai Jiadong tossed over a sample. "Our ice has extremely high purity; it's not thirty-yuan merchandise."

Qin Chuan caught the tossed sample and, like an old hand, expertly inspected it.

"The stuff is indeed good, but fifty is too expensive. With our volume of 100 kilograms per month, we're big clients; at most, thirty-five."

Village Chief Cai Jiadong sneered coldly. "Around here, 100 kilograms is nothing. We have Southeast Asian clients who take several hundred kilograms at a time, and it's the same price."

Both sides went back and forth, but they couldn't agree on the price. Village Chief Cai Jiadong's goods were good, so he didn't worry about selling them at all; he wouldn't budge a single cent from the price of fifty.

"Then I'm sorry, see them out!"

Qin Chuan had originally wanted to tour Cai Family Village, but there was no chance; they wouldn't let him see anything, and several people escorted them out of the village.

It didn't matter; today's gains were already significant.

It didn't matter if they wouldn't let him look around. Now that he knew Village Chief Cai Jiadong's identity, he could use the system to look him up and learn many things about the drug-manufacturing village.

"Director Qin, are we just going back like this?"

After the car had driven two or three kilometers, Wei Xinglong couldn't help but ask first.

Having finally discovered this drug-manufacturing village after so much trouble, they had to do everything possible to further understand the situation.

Qin Chuan said, "Of course we're going back. Let's leave quickly to avoid making them suspicious."

By evening, the group returned to the Guangdong Provincial Public Security Department.

On the way back, for most of the time, Qin Chuan appeared to be resting with his eyes closed, but in reality, he was using the system to check up on Village Chief Cai Jiadong. He then reviewed the information about Village Chief Cai Jiadong in his mind, gaining a much deeper understanding of the situation at the drug-manufacturing village.

"Comrade Qin Chuan, are you back yet?"

It was a call from Wang Hailong. He was getting a bit anxious; he had invited Qin Chuan over to guide the case investigation, but Qin Chuan kept running off. He had left early this morning and apparently had only just returned.

"Comrade Wang Hailong, you are very well-informed. We only returned less than five minutes ago."

"Qin Chuan, let's sit down for a meal and chat about the progress of the case, how about that?"

"That works. Let's eat and chat."

Having obtained so much information, Qin Chuan was also looking forward to chatting with Wang Hailong and the others to tell them about the basic situation of the drug-manufacturing village and suggest that they could now take action.

A while later, the two sides met in a private room at a nearby restaurant.

Qin Chuan pushed the door open and entered with Wei Xinglong, pausing slightly in surprise—there were so many people.

Including Wang Hailong, several key leaders of the Guangdong Provincial Public Security Department and the main people in charge of this drug case were all here.

Wang Hailong was quite enthusiastic. Even though he was technically one rank higher than Qin Chuan, he led everyone in standing up to welcome him.

"Comrade Qin Chuan, please, have a seat. Come, come, sit here."

A seat had already been reserved, right next to Wang Hailong, one of the main seats.

Qin Chuan laughed heartily and, without standing on ceremony, readily sat down in that seat.

"Comrade Qin Chuan, you were out running around all day today. Did you have any findings?"

The dishes were all served, and after everyone had a couple of drinks, Wang Hailong asked this.

Qin Chuan said, "What about you? How is the progress?"

Wang Hailong said, "The progress is not bad. We have grasped some situations and clues, but we are still some distance away from solving the case."

"Qin Chuan, we hope to solve this case as soon as possible. The speed at which the ice they manufacture is spreading is faster than we imagined."

After listening, Secretary Qin Chuan smiled happily and then said, "Comrade Wang Hailong, my findings today were quite good. I discovered a drug-manufacturing village where the whole village is involved in drug production, and the boss is their village chief…"

Qin Chuan recounted the situation he had seen today in some detail.

The private room went silent, with only Qin Chuan's voice heard.

The people from the Guangdong Provincial Public Security Department were first surprised, then pleasantly surprised, and finally exhilarated!

The source of the drug manufacturing had finally been found. As expected of Qin Chuan, just by wandering around like that, he was much more efficient than all of them combined.

Originally, they had planned to have a good few drinks tonight, but with such a huge and surprising discovery, everyone just drank enough to be polite, focusing mainly on eating the food.

Wang Hailong said with a hint of apology, "Comrade Qin Chuan, I am truly sorry that I cannot drink to your heart's content with you today. Once this case is completely solved, I will accompany you for a good few drinks."

It wouldn't work now. With such a huge discovery, the top priority was to organize and arrange their forces to quickly surround Cai Family Village and arrest all the relevant people.

A meal that could have originally taken over two hours, during which they could have finished several bottles of moutai, lasted less than an hour this time. After everyone was full, they immediately returned to the Provincial Public Security Department.

Even though it was late at night, everyone's enthusiasm for work was high; the first thing they did was immediately make arrangements and deployments.

Qin Chuan attended the meeting, but he basically just listened, without speaking, and certainly without interfering with any of their arrangements.

He only made one suggestion and didn't say anything else.

Wang Hailong and the others mobilized about three hundred police officers, preparing to enter Cai Family Village as soon as day broke to arrest the relevant personnel.

Qin Chuan said one thing: the whole village was manufacturing drugs and they had banded together, so three hundred police officers were not enough. He suggested not to rush and to mobilize more police force before taking action.

Wang Hailong was full of confidence; in the face of the powerful state apparatus, who would dare to resist? Three hundred police officers were enough.

Qin Chuan had only made that suggestion, and seeing Wang Hailong so confident, he thought to himself: I hope I'm overthinking it, and I hope you all succeed.

The subsequent matters did not require Qin Chuan's participation, so he returned to his hotel to sleep. He could just wait for news in the morning, hoping that when he woke up, he would hear good news.
