Detective: From the Police Academy

Chapter 367 Gunfire!

There were flashes of lightning and thunder in the woods, and strong winds were shaking the treetops.

After a gunshot, Luo Rui turned off the flashlight in his hand in a flash and rolled to the side.

At that moment, "Bang!"

The second gunshot exploded beside his ear and he barely dodged it.

The man behind the tree fell to the ground and let out a terrible howl.

The direction of the shooting was unknown, and it was pitch black all around, with only the sounds of wind and rain filling my ears.

Luo Rui looked towards the place where Fang Yonghui fell, but could not see anyone.

The two sides were only ten meters apart. When the first shot was fired, he was obviously hit by a bullet, but it was not expected to be serious because when Fang Yonghui fell to the ground, he quickly turned off the flashlight in his hand.

If he was really hit in a vital part, he wouldn't have moved so quickly or been so alert.

But at this time, the person who fired the gun was hiding in the dark. Luo Rui didn't dare to say a word, and Fang Yonghui didn't dare to make a sound either.

The other party fired two shots and one shot at each of their men, intending to knock them down as soon as possible.

If it weren't in this cold and rainy mountain, if it were in a slightly open place, the two of them would definitely not be able to hide.

"Whoosh..."

"Tick tock..."

The sounds of wind and rain mixed together, creating a tense atmosphere all around.

Luo Rui didn't dare to move. The other party was also hiding in the dark, silently, but there was no doubt that the gun was definitely aimed at him. As long as there was the slightest movement, the other party would definitely shoot at the first moment.

Luo Rui's brain was working quickly. There were two people on his side, plus the four people who wanted to cut off his legs, a total of six people.

These four people were all shot, and it was their own side that fired the shots. Obviously, the two were not in the same group, otherwise there would definitely be noise.

These people didn't dare to breathe. Even the person who had walked out from behind the tree and was shot gritted his teeth and said nothing.

But if you are hit by a bullet, you will definitely make a gasping sound.

The sound was very small and was covered by the sound of wind and rain.

But Luo Rui heard the voice of the man who fell in front of him, breathing heavily.

This was not a solution. Luo Rui held his breath and concentrated, taking advantage of the wind to cover the sound. He crawled forward, groping in the dark, and kicked in the direction of the breathing sound.

I looked for nothing, there was no one in front of me on the left.

Then, Luo Rui moved his body slightly and kicked again.

"Ouch..." The man was kicked and couldn't help but make a sound.

Then, there was a sound of footsteps on dead branches in the distance, but the sound was very small.

It doesn’t matter, what matters is that it only takes a few seconds.

A short beam of fire came out from Luo Rui's nine o'clock direction.

"boom!"

Almost in the blink of an eye, the fire went out, but Luo Rui had already turned the muzzle of the gun in his hand, aimed at the shooting location, and pulled the trigger without hesitation.

"boom!"

"boom!"

At the same time, the man who was kicked forward screamed "Ah!" again, obviously hit by a bullet.

There was also a sound coming from the nine o'clock direction, which seemed to be the sound of a body slipping.

After Luo Rui fired the shot, he quickly turned his body, jumped up, and knelt on one knee.

"boom!"

A bullet hit where he had been lying.

The fire was at the six o'clock position, behind Fang Yonghui.

There is no doubt that there are two gunmen!
Luo Rui turned the gun without hesitation, but heard a flurry of footsteps. It was obvious that the other party had moved after firing the gun.

He didn't shoot, but Fang Yonghui, who was lying on the ground, did.

"Bang, bang!"

Two consecutive gunshots were heard, fired towards the location where the fire had been emitted previously.

Then, the other party also pulled the trigger.

"boom!"

A flash of fire appeared at the five o'clock direction of Luo Rui.

The bullet pierced through the rain in the forest and hit Fang Yonghui.

But he did not cry out in pain, instead another man screamed like a pig being slaughtered.

At this moment, Fang Yonghui gritted his teeth, turned on the flashlight in his hand, and shone it in the direction of the shooting. A figure quickly rushed towards the woods at the four o'clock direction.

"Luo Da, shoot!"

Because the movement of the muzzle was small, Luo Rui pulled the trigger quickly.

"Bang, bang, bang!"

Three gunshots rang out and bullets whizzed out.

Before the figure could hide behind the tree, he slipped and fell to the ground.

It was a slope, and the man tried to stand up without saying a word, but Luo Rui shot him again.

"boom!"

The arrow hit the man's side directly, and his grip on the sapling loosened. His body slid down the slope and was then blocked by a large rock.

At this time, Luo Rui had already turned on the flashlight in his hand and rushed down quickly.

The gun in the man's hand fell beside the tree. Luo Rui did not pick it up, but ran to the boulder and grabbed the man's head.

There was blood oozing from the corner of his mouth, and he was shot in the side and chest. He was already dead.

Fang Yonghui had also stood up, holding a gun in one hand and a flashlight in the other, and walked cautiously towards the nine o'clock direction.

The other gunman was lying on the ground, still holding the gun.

Fang Yonghui gasped and kicked the gun out of his hand.

When he noticed some unusual movement behind him, he immediately turned around and turned the muzzle of his gun.

"Yonghui, it's me!"

"Luo Da."

"Are you okay?" Luo Rui asked, looking around with a flashlight.

"I'm fine!" Fang Yonghui swallowed his saliva, his voice trembling.

"Everyone, get the hell down on the ground and don't move! Whoever tries to stand up, don't blame me for being rude!" Luo Rui shouted to the people lying on the ground, because the tall guy and others wanted to get up. They were really scared. They had wielded knives before, but when had they ever held a gun?
They had only seen what happened tonight in movies. There had never been such an intense shootout in the real world, and in the pitch-black darkness.

Seeing that they were obedient and did not dare to move, Luo Rui turned his head and saw clearly that Fang Yonghui was shot in the left shoulder blade, right next to the neck.

Fang Yonghui is able to hold on now because he is gritting his teeth.

"Hold on, find a place to rest, I'll ask someone to go up the mountain right away."

Fang Yonghui kept gasping for breath, and it was unclear whether it was rain or sweat on his face. He walked a few steps to a higher place, leaned his back against a big tree, and then sat down, holding the gun in his right hand, staring at the people lying on the ground.

Even though he was seriously injured, he did not dare to slack off.

------------

Fengshui County, County Bureau.

Shen Huaimin lay on the sofa, listening to the sound of rain outside the window.

It was already ten o'clock in the evening, long past the time to get off work, but he didn't dare to leave.

The criminal police from the Municipal Bureau have not returned from their visits yet, so how can he just take a rest?

While I was half asleep, the phone in my pocket rang.

Shen Huaimin opened his eyes, took out his cell phone and glanced at the screen.

When he saw the number, he quickly sat up and answered the call.

"Hello, Secretary Sun?"

"Old Shen, where are you?"

"I'm in the bureau."

"Something serious has happened! Hurry up and organize the special police and medical team to go into the mountains. Luo Rui was shot in the mountains!"

"What?" Shen Huaimin suspected that he had heard it wrong, and the blood in his body froze: "Luo... How is the Luo detachment now?"

"Who knows! Hurry up, I'm on my way now. I tell you, things are going to change. Do you know who called me just now?"

"Who?"

"Wei Qunshan, Hu Changyu and Zhu Yong from the provincial department! This is a big trouble. The deputy chief of the criminal police was shot in our Fengshui County. This matter has become a big deal."

Upon hearing this, Shen Huaimin wanted to fall on the sofa and fall asleep.

He wanted to ask a few more questions, but the other party had already hung up the phone.

Shen Huaimin put on his shoes and quickly ran out of the office.

Xu Chengzhi, who was coming towards him, saw his panic and frowned and asked, "Director Shen, what's wrong?"

"Where's Team Luo?"

"He took some people into the mountains in the afternoon, saying he was going to investigate the scene, and he hasn't returned yet."

Upon hearing this, Shen Huaimin flew into a rage: "Why don't you go with him? Didn't I ask you to cooperate with him?"

"I..." Xu Chengzhi was totally confused and speechless.

"Why are you still standing there? Wake up everyone. Let's head to the mountains right away. Team Luo is under fire!"

As soon as these words came out, Xu Chengzhi's mind went blank.

Cai Xiaojing and Lin Chen, who had just returned from outside, were stunned for a moment.

Then, the two women turned pale and ran downstairs quickly.

There were more than a dozen police cars and patrol motorcycles parked in the yard of the county bureau. In less than ten minutes, all the officers were dispatched, sirens blaring, and heading towards the southern suburbs.

At the same time, several armed police cars drove out from the yard next door, along with ambulances from the hospital a few blocks away.

After Cai Xiaojing got in the car, she immediately called Luo Rui's cell phone.

Lin Chen didn't dare to breathe and looked at Cai Xiaojing eagerly.

"Sorry, the number you dialed is busy!"

"Call Yonghui, Yonghui is with the team leader!" Lin Chen took out his cell phone with trembling hands. Because he didn't hold it firmly, the phone fell on his legs.

"Don't be nervous, it's okay." Cai Xiaojing comforted her, but she didn't realize that her voice was also trembling. Lin Chen swallowed his saliva and called Fang Yonghui.

The call was connected immediately.

"Hey, Yonghui, is the team leader okay?"

The person on the other end of the phone coughed twice: "Officer Lin, why don't you ask me?"

"Can't you answer the phone? What are you talking about? How is the team leader?"

"The team leader is fine, we are all fine."

"That's good!" Lin Chen stroked his chest, feeling a little relieved. "Where are you now?"

"Nanshan was interrupted. There were six criminals at the scene. Two of them were armed with guns. One of them was shot dead and another was seriously injured. The other four attacked with knives and were also arrested."

"Ah? So many people?" Lin Chen was shocked: "Who did it?"

"Luo Da asked me to tell you to tell Director Shen to bring people to surround the office building of Taihe Group and not let anyone escape."

"I understand!" Lin Chen put down the phone and asked the driver to stop the car.

After she got out of the car, she stopped Shen Huaimin's car behind her, walked to the window, and told him what Luo Rui had told her.

Shen Huaimin sat in the co-pilot's seat, his brows gloomy: "No, I didn't receive any orders from above, this..."

Xu Chengzhi, who was driving, understood immediately and asked hurriedly, "Did Bai Kangyong order someone to do the thing in the mountains?"

Lin Chen's tone was blunt: "Director Shen, Captain Xu, our team leader has made it very clear, and what he ordered must be correct.

Besides, who assigned these people to attack the criminal police from the city police station, two of them were armed with guns and four were armed with knives? Who has the guts to do this? You should know better than us.

If you don't do as you're told and let the suspect escape, you'll be held responsible. Don't say we didn't notify you in advance."

After saying that, Lin Chen ignored the two men. She trotted to the car in front, opened the door and got in.

Watching the car in front of him leave quickly, Xu Chengzhi held the steering wheel and turned his head to look at his leader: "Director Shen, what should we do now?"

Shen Huaimin didn't move, but his heart was in turmoil.

He originally thought that the anti-corruption campaign that Luo Rui mentioned would not be completed within a year or two.

Even if Luo Rui is very capable, so what? Not to mention the preparation of the special task force, investigation and evidence collection, and the fact that every link is complete before the action begins, it will be at least the end of the year.

This way, everyone has some buffer time and can prepare themselves.

God knows how long it has been?
It’s been less than three days since Luo Rui arrived in Fengshui County!

Tonight, he was attacked by six gangsters armed with guns and knives.

This was a serious matter. Regardless of whether Luo Rui was injured or not, the Municipal Bureau and the Provincial Department were already furious.

Suddenly, all eyes turned to Fengshui County.

If Bai Kangyong really did this, isn't this like handing a knife to someone and sticking your head over to be chopped off?

Is Bai Kangyong that stupid?
Moreover, this guy surnamed Sun didn't ask him to surround the Taihe Group.

The man named Sun was extremely cunning, and any slight movement would not escape his ears. If he knew that it was Bai Kangyong who caused the trouble, he would have taken a gun and led the charge.

Therefore, Shen Huaimin always felt that this matter was too strange. The man named Sun was not a brainless person, and Bai Kangyong, as the chairman of Taihe Group, was not that stupid.

But Luo Rui was so determined to surround the Taihe Building that it was unlikely that he was doing it without a purpose.

This put Shen Huaimin in a dilemma. He originally wanted to meet with Luo Rui first, find out the situation and then make a decision.

But the other party conveyed the message through Officer Lin, and seemed not to want to communicate with him.

Moreover, there is no doubt that after Luo Rui got into trouble, he immediately called the Municipal Bureau and the Provincial Department, and had already reported the matter to the top level.

It can be seen that Luo Rui is determined to remove Bai Kangyong.

After daybreak, the provincial department and the municipal bureau will definitely send people over. If they find out that I haven't taken any action tonight, then I'm doomed, right?
There are two roads. Which one should I choose?
Seeing that he was still in a daze, Xu Chengzhi couldn't help but say, "Director Shen, make a decision quickly. What should we do?"

"Be loyal to the people and the law; obey orders and follow commands; strictly observe discipline and keep secrets; enforce the law impartially and be honest and upright; perform duties conscientiously and fear no sacrifice; serve the people wholeheartedly. I am willing to devote myself to the noble cause of the people's public security and work hard to realize my oath!"

"Fuck, follow the order, tell the armed vehicles behind to turn around and go to Taihe Group!"

"Okay!" Xu Chengzhi felt a surge of warmth in his heart when he heard Shen Huaimin reciting the oath he took when he joined the police force.

Shen Huaimin followed his heart. After making up his mind, he immediately picked up the intercom and told the police cars on the road: "Everyone listen, except for the medical team and logistics team who are all going to the back mountain of Nanjiao, the special police, criminal police and riot squad are all going to Taihe Group. Surround the office building for me. Don't let anyone escape. Set off immediately!"

Afterwards, the convoy split into two groups and drove in different directions in the dark.

----------

early morning.

Cai Xiaojing and Lin Chen led people into the mountains. Because it was raining heavily, everyone wore raincoats and trudged on the muddy mountain road.

About half an hour later, they finally saw a light ahead.

The two men didn't care about the rugged road and trotted forward.

This was an upward slope. Fang Yonghui squatted under a tree, holding a gun in one hand and a flashlight whose battery was running out in the other.

Luo Rui also squatted on the side, facing a man who was tied up.

This man is one of the shooters, the one who hit Fang Yonghui in the shoulder blade.

Seeing that he was interrogating, Cai Xiaojing did not dare to interrupt him, but came to Fang Yonghui and asked in a low voice: "Yonghui, where are you injured?"

Without him saying anything, she had already seen the bandage on Fang Yonghui's shoulder.

Cai Xiaojing quickly called two medical staff and prepared to take Fang Yonghui down the mountain.

As for the four knife-wielding gangsters lying on the ground, they were also handcuffed by the criminal police.

The police did not move the body of the gunman who died at the bottom of the slope immediately. After all, it had been raining for a long time and the road was slippery. It was too dangerous to carry the stretcher down.

The person is already dead, and he is the gunman who fired the gun. No one will care about this body that cannot be named for the time being.

"You mean to say that it was Bai Zhanfei who asked you to come into the mountains to kill me?"

The gunman endured the gunshot wound and replied with gritted teeth: "Yes, it's him."

"Are you sure?" Luo Rui's hands were covered in blood and dirt, and his whole body was soaked.

At this moment, an umbrella was held over his head. Luo Rui looked up and found Cai Xiaojing standing behind him.

He turned around and continued to ask, "What is the relationship between Bai Zhanfei and Bai Kangyong?"

"Cousins."

"Why did you send two groups of people to kill me?"

"This... I don't know. I only know that Bai Zhanfei asked us to go into the mountains at night and said that four people had followed you earlier. After these people take action, we will see what happens. But the ultimate goal is to kill you."

"Except for the two of you..." Luo Rui pointed at the bodies at the bottom of the slope and said, "How many other gunmen like you are there under Bai Zhanfei?"

"There are about ten people, and Bai Zhanfei has all kinds of weapons. He has a basement in his villa, which contains many guns.

We all do dirty work for Taihe Group, doing things that are not allowed to be seen in public.”

Luo Rui nodded: "Does that mean a lot of lives have been lost?"

"I...I didn't. This is my first time killing someone. Before, the most I did was break someone's legs."

"Come on, you'd better not lie to me. You and your companion's shooting skills are not new to guns. You dared to shoot me from behind, and you didn't reveal any flaws. You told me that this was your first time killing someone. Ha, do you think I'm stupid?"

"I didn't lie to you. I just said that Bai Zhanfei likes guns, and we often practice shooting in his basement.

Moreover, he also let us watch gangster movies from Hong Kong and taught us how to use guns and how to do things. We learned everything from the movies.”

"Okay, I hope what you said is true. If you lie, you should know the consequences."

Luo Rui did not ask any more questions, but called medical staff to take the man down the mountain.

"Are you okay?" Cai Xiaojing finally had time to ask a question.

Luo Rui shook his head and looked at Lin Chen who was coming over: "What's going on with Shen Huaimin?"

"He took people to Taihe Group. I guess he has already arrested Bai Kangyong."

"Not necessarily. Bai Kangyong has been working in Fengshui County for so many years. Even a cunning rabbit can have three burrows. Let's go down the mountain now and take a look at the situation."

Cai Xiaojing said: "Secretary Sun is at the foot of the mountain, waiting to see you."

"Damn it, you're looking for me now? Leave him aside first and talk about it after we're done." Luo Rui wiped the rain off his face and strode down the mountain.

------------

At the same time, the office building of Taihe Group was brightly lit.

When Shen Huaimin and his men arrived, they immediately surrounded the building and did not allow anyone to enter or leave.

Fortunately, it is now after midnight. If it were daytime, I don’t know how many onlookers would be attracted to this busy road.

After the special police got off the car, they immediately guarded the gate with guns.

Because there was no order to attack, no one moved.

When Shen Huaimin led his men into the gate, the two security guards behind the door were already frightened silly.

"Where is Mr. Bai?"

"No...don't know."

"No...I didn't see it." Another tall man also answered.

Seeing that they didn't seem to be lying, Shen Huaimin shouted to the criminal police rushing in from behind: "Go upstairs and search for me. Bring all the people down and gather them in the lobby on the first floor."

Xu Chengzhi hurriedly walked up to him and whispered, "Director Shen, should we send someone to Bai Kangyong's residence? He must be at home at this time."

"Okay, take a team with you and be careful! Also, since we have already done it, we can't afford to hesitate. Set up checkpoints at the highway intersections, airports, and bus stations. All vehicles leaving must be carefully searched."

Xu Chengzhi smacked his lips and said, "We are a county, we don't have an airport."

"Don't I know that? Go do it now!"

"Okay!" Xu Chengzhi hurriedly called a group of people, went out and got in a car.

As time passed slowly, Shen Huaimin became more and more irritated, and his heart was in turmoil and anxiety.

There was no movement from the county, and my cell phone seemed to have been soaked in water and didn't ring at all.

It is impossible that such a big move of mine tonight did not get known by them. If they knew, why didn't they call me at all? Doesn't it mean that, as Luo Rui said, the gunman who attacked him was sent by Bai Kangyong?

This explains why Bai Kangyong’s small circle has been broken up. These people smelled blood and started to make moves.

When Shen Huaimin was daydreaming, several criminal police officers came running downstairs.

"Director Shen, no one is here."

"Director Shen, there's no one on the second floor either."

"Director Shen, there is blood in Bai Kangyong's office on the third floor!"

Hearing this, Shen Huaimin quickly ran upstairs and rushed into the luxurious office.

There was a large pool of blood on the floor at the door, and there were traces of blood from dragging...
