Seeing Qi Tongwei's resolute attitude, Gao Changjiang dared not delay and immediately ran towards the county committee.

Although he didn't know why Qi Tongwei was targeting those four people.

But judging from Qi Tongwei's behavior these days, he felt that things were not simple.

Seeing that Gao Changjiang had gone to contact the police, Qi Tongwei spoke to one of his officers.

"You've made a long trip too, contact the militia immediately."

"Call more men, bring weapons, keep a close watch on them, and don't alert them."

When I returned to the county party committee office, there were two jeeps parked in the yard, and the police had already arrived.

The team was led by Deputy Director Su Lie, a former military officer, who was upright and exuded a commanding presence.

When Su Lie saw Qi Tongwei return, he immediately came over to greet him.

"County Chief Qi, this is Su Lie from the County Public Security Bureau. I've brought the person with me. Please give your instructions."

Qi Tongwei didn't waste any time, shook hands with him, and immediately explained the situation.

"Thank you for your hard work, making you come all this way so late."

"During my home visits, I discovered four suspicious individuals in one impoverished household."

"I suspect that these four people have a criminal record and are probably carrying murder weapons."

"I've already had the militia keep an eye on the man; you'll have to handle the specifics."

After listening, Su Lie frowned slightly and nodded.

"I know this Alim; he's a regular at the bureau."

"He often gets together with a bunch of hooligans to drink and gamble, and when they get drunk, they cause trouble."

"It's not a big problem, don't worry, I'll take someone to check it out right away..."

Qi Tongwei glanced at him and understood the meaning behind his words.

Su Lie didn't take this matter seriously at all, treating it as just a regular gambling gathering.

Qi Tongwei sighed inwardly and stopped Su Lie.

"Director Su, I'll go with you..."

Su Lie was taken aback, glanced at Qi Tongwei, and was somewhat surprised.

"County Chief Qi, you don't need to get involved in this kind of thing. We can handle it..."

Qi Tongwei sighed, his tone becoming more serious.

"Those people are not simple; they're definitely not gambling together. Let's go together."

Seeing that Qi Tongwei was adamant, Su Lie stopped trying to stop him.

He brought six people with him this time, which was more than enough to protect Qi Tongwei.

Qi Tongwei frowned slightly when he saw that the police officers were not wearing riot gear and were only carrying batons.

He leaned closer to Su Lie and asked in a low voice.

"Did you bring a gun?"

Su Lie was taken aback, but didn't say anything. He gently patted his waist.

He suddenly had a feeling that he had made a mistake in his judgment.

This group of people probably do have some substance, otherwise Qi Tongwei wouldn't be so nervous.

He hesitated for a moment, then lowered his voice and asked.

"County Chief Qi, do you think those men are armed?"

Qi Tongwei nodded and said in a deep voice.

"There's definitely a device, but I don't know if it's the kind that makes a sound."

Su Lie was stunned again, somewhat puzzled.

"With a sound" is a code word used within the police force, referring to light firearms like the Type 54 and Type 64.

He couldn't understand how Qi Tongwei knew this code.

Qi Tongwei was very dissatisfied with Su Lie's plan, but the situation was urgent and he had no choice but to act.

After the deployment was completed, Qi Tongwei and Su Lie got into the jeep and drove towards Alim's house.

Fearing to alert the enemy, the jeep slowly came to a stop far from Alim's house.

As soon as Qi Tongwei jumped out of the car, a militiaman who had been lying in wait emerged from the darkness.

He had participated in snow disaster relief efforts and spent three days with Qi Tongwei, so they were old acquaintances.

Upon seeing him approach, Qi Tongwei immediately asked, "How is he? Is he still there?"

The militiaman grinned and replied.

"Don't worry. There are more than a dozen of us. We've surrounded the yard completely; not even a fly can get out."

Qi Tongwei nodded and looked at Su Lie beside him.

"Director Su, the rest is up to you. The other party's identity is unknown, so be careful."

He paused slightly, then added another sentence.

"Be very careful! I'm pretty sure they have weapons..."

Su Lie nodded and waved to the officers behind him.

"Everyone, perk up! Let's get a feel for the situation first... Xiao Liu, you go ahead, tell them it's a population census."

After saying that, he took a deep breath and walked towards the mud-brick house first.

Qi Tongwei did not follow, choosing to stay where he was.

The arrest operation was a matter for the public security bureau. As the deputy county head, his participation in the operation was already considered an exception.

Su Lie led a group of police officers to the wall of Alimu's house.

He nodded to one of the police officers, signaling him to go forward and push open the door.

The officer immediately understood and raised his hand to push the door open.

His hand had just been raised, but hadn't even touched the door yet.

A muffled gunshot suddenly rang out, sounding particularly abrupt in the darkness.

Su Lie's heart tightened suddenly, and he shoved the police officer who was pushing the door aside, shouting loudly.

"Take cover! We're armed!"

The officers immediately squatted down, their backs pressed firmly against the earthen wall.

As soon as the gunshots rang out, four figures suddenly darted out of the house and ran away, scaling the walls in four different directions.

The four of them worked together seamlessly, their movements swift and efficient.

Seeing the suspect trying to escape, Su Lie immediately led the chase. "Split up and pursue them!"

The militiamen who were lying in wait had already noticed the situation and surrounded the figures.

The four of them had clearly planned their escape well in advance and knew the route very well.

But they didn't expect so many militiamen to be waiting for them outside.

Of the four suspects, three were knocked down by militiamen with shovels and wooden sticks before they could run far.

The moment the man was knocked down, the police officers who had been chasing after him arrived and immediately handcuffed the three men.

Those with guns weren't shot down, but the militia blocked their way, resulting in a stalemate.

He was holding a homemade gun and shouting in broken Mandarin.

"Get out of the way, anyone who comes near me I'll kill them..."

Although he was a fugitive, he was still very flustered to be surrounded by so many people.

He wanted to shoot, but the militiamen were all hiding in the shadows, and he couldn't find a target.

Suddenly, neither side dared to act rashly, and the situation reached a stalemate.

Within ten seconds, Su Lie arrived with several police officers.

He held his gun and hid behind a mud wall, shouting out loud.

"Put the gun down and put your hands behind your head! Or I'll shoot!"

The armed bandits finally found their target and fired a shot at the earthen wall where Su Lie was hiding.

As the gunshot rang out, dirt splattered all over Su Lie.

He gritted his teeth, suddenly leaned half his body out, and fired several shots at the bandits.

He didn't aim properly; he shot entirely by feel.

The crisp gunshot rang out, and the bandits remained motionless for a long time, while the barking of dogs filled the street.

Seeing the bandit lying on the ground, Su Lie picked up a stone and threw it at him, but the bandit didn't budge.

He swallowed hard, raised his gun, and slowly crept over.

He walked up to the bandit, kicked the homemade gun away, and checked the man's breath. He was dead.

He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, put away his gun, and shouted to the police officers behind him.

"Seal off the scene! Liu, drive back to the station to report this and call the forensic doctor..."

"The others put the prisoner in the car... Oh, and there's one more inside, don't let him escape!"

......

The arrest was completed, and the three bandits and Alim were all put into a jeep.

Xiao Liu also called in reinforcements from the bureau, and the scene was cordoned off.

In the 90s, it was a big deal for a grassroots police officer to fire a gun, let alone kill someone.

However, Su Lie didn't care at all; he was only filled with lingering fear.

Su Lie walked to Qi Tongwei's side, his face bitter, and he hesitated to speak.

Seeing his pale face, Qi Tongwei offered him a cigarette. "First time firing a gun?"

Su Lie took the cigarette, took a deep drag, and remained silent.

Qi Tongwei patted him on the shoulder and comforted him softly.

"Don't feel guilty, he has a gun. If you don't kill him, your comrades will die."

"Besides, think about it, who has a gun... he probably has someone dead on his hands."

Su Lie was taken aback, looked deeply at Qi Tongwei, and said with a wry smile.

"County Chief Qi...it's all thanks to you. Otherwise, there would have been a huge mess today..."

He could only finish his sentence before he couldn't continue; his mouth tasted bitter.

Seven police officers, one gun, apprehended an armed criminal...

He couldn't afford the consequences if something went wrong.

Qi Tongwei took a deep drag on his cigarette, his gaze lingering on the night sky with a touch of melancholy.

He punched Su Lie and raised his voice a few decibels as he spoke.

"Don't act like a girl, pull yourself together! This isn't over yet."

"These people are not ordinary individuals; we'll have to trouble you to conduct the interrogation overnight!"

"We must get them to talk."
