He turned his head and was dumbfounded to see more than a dozen burly n appear suddenly where there had clearly been no one just monts before.
His mind went blank for a split second.
Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?
...
Lying in bed around midnight, ng Lang received a call from Wang Zhao Ping...
"Captain Wang, calling so late, did you catch him?"
"Yeah! We caught him, but it seems there was a bit of a mix-up with who we were supposed to catch..." the voice on the phone sounded odd.
Then he briefly explained what had just happened.
"What? A murder case?" ng Lang put on a surprised tone, but he was finally relieved.
No one was hurt, the murderer was caught, tonight’s operation was a huge success for the team! Archie really nailed it!
"How could this be?"
"That’s what I want to ask, Brother ng, are you sure... the information you gave was accurate?"
Wang Zhao Ping was clearly having doubts about what happened tonight.
To call it a coincidence seed too coincidental.
If it weren’t for the criminal spontaneously deciding to commit the cri there, Wang Zhao Ping would have suspected that ng Lang was using him as a scapegoat again.
"How could I be sure? I told you, I was only 90% confident, and the remaining 10% is out of our hands now!" ng Lang chuckled.
"By the way, what ti did you start the arrest?"
"Around eleven forty."
"Oh! So, do you think it’s possible that because you started early and made so noise, you scared off the trafficking gang directly?"
"This...indeed, it’s not entirely impossible..." Wang Zhao Ping was successfully sidetracked by ng Lang.
"So you’re saying this might be a case of mistaken identity, and we’ve also alerted them?"
Wang Zhao Ping was torn.
Although they had prevented a murder, if the traffickers were scared off, was their night a stroke of luck or misfortune?
"Brother ng, sorry man, the hard-earned information you provided was ssed up by us.
Now the other party might be alerted and could imdiately start investigating internally for informants leaking transaction information. Your source... is there any danger?"
Er...
I just wanted you not to overthink it, and here you are worrying about my "informant."
To prevent the captain from continuing his battle of wits with thin air, ng Lang cleared his throat.
"Cough! Don’t worry, Captain, although the information didn’t co into play this ti, I still have a backup piece of intel that might help you."
Backup information? Wang Zhao Ping was stunned.
Now, gathering intelligence is so luxurious they’re using one and backing up another?
"324 Zhujia Corner in Hang City, you might want to check out that place, you might find sothing useful," ng Lang directly gave the real intel to Wang Zhao Ping.
Wang Zhao Ping hurriedly jotted it down in his notebook.
"Thanks a lot, Brother ng. I really appreciate the trouble you’ve gone through ti and again."
No, the one who should be bothered ti and again is actually ...
"Haha! It’s all good, we help each other out, police and citizens are all one big family! By the way, Captain, why did the murderer want to kill soone?" ng Lang asked casually.
"Oh! After so initial questioning of the two involved, it seems the man had a mistress, and the mistress got pregnant and insisted he co clean.
A few days ago, she even sent a compromising photo to his family, and the man was beaten pretty badly.
Out of desperation, he actually thought about killing to silence her. Such a beast, not even tigers eat their young!"
emm...
A compromising photo?
This plot... why does it feel strangely familiar?
