One Hand Delivers Money, the Other Delivers Goods

After hearing these words, Wu Guodong was dumbfounded!

"Are you talking about that Qiu Shufeng?"

He had indeed posted a wanted warrant in his WeChat moments a few days ago. It was for a 'wanted criminal' who had fled to the city!

The reason he posted the wanted warrant in his moments was because this Qiu Shufeng was truly heinous.

Not only had he repeatedly fled, insulted, and murdered nearly ten women, but he had also broken into a newlywed couple's home and, in front of the husband… eventually killed them both. During this process, he used various means to torture the couple…

However, this person possessed extremely strong counter-reconnaissance skills. Although criminal police from various places occasionally discovered some traces he left behind, they were unable to catch him and bring him to justice.

This was a cruel and cunning major criminal!

In order to prevent more people from falling victim to him and to bring him to justice as soon as possible, C City issued a reward warrant, which Wu Guodong then forwarded.

But here's the problem…

Qiu Shufeng was here?!

Where?

Wu Guodong looked around, but couldn't find him at all.

"I can't say."

Qi Zixiao was very 'clever': "Did you bring the money? As the saying goes, one hand delivers the money, the other delivers the goods…"

Wu Guodong: "…"

He just wanted to say, do you think you're a kidnapper or something, demanding one hand delivers the money and the other delivers the goods…

Are you trying to exploit a loophole with me here?

Qi Zixiao added: "What if I hand over the person to you, but you don't give me the money?"

At that moment, Wu Guodong rubbed his forehead, feeling a headache coming on.

He instinctively felt that Lin Fan was tricking him, and he was already a little angry. But thinking about Lin Fan's performance in the police station before, he was actually a pretty good guy and shouldn't be so outrageous…

Thinking of this, Wu Guodong's heart skipped a beat.

Could it be that Qiu Shufeng was really here?

But that's not right… I've seen everyone, and there's no Qiu Shufeng at all.

But then he thought, did he have any reason to lie to me?

Unless he wanted to go in for obstructing official business, but that was obviously impossible, right?

"Captain…"

At this moment, a police officer called out.

"Wait."

Wu Guodong waved his hand without turning his head, looked at Qi Zixiao, and said solemnly: "Are you serious?"

"Yes!"

Qi Zixiao responded with a serious expression and clear eyes.

Seeing this, Wu Guodong was silent for a moment: "Okay!"

He lowered his voice again: "I'll trust you this once. If you can find Qiu Shufeng, I'll immediately transfer 50,000 yuan to you."

"If you can't find him… forget it, I won't let you in, but I'll just think I misjudged you."

"Come on, where is he?!"

Wu Guodong certainly couldn't carry the 'reward' with him at all times, but he could personally make up for it first.

If he could really catch Qiu Shufeng, it wouldn't be a problem at all.

"Okay!"

Qi Zixiao smiled, then, pursed her lips: "On the boat farthest from us, the bare-chested man with the beard, do you see him?"

"It's him."

"Don't..."

Wu Guodong didn't look at him immediately, but instead shifted his gaze, as if admiring the scenery.

As an old detective, he naturally understood how strong Qiu Shufeng's counter-surveillance awareness was.

Now, although he wasn't sure if that person was Qiu Shufeng, since Lin Fan had said so, they had to treat it as if he 'was'.

In Wu Guodong's mind, if that person was really Qiu Shufeng, and he and Lin Fan were both staring at him... with his alertness, he would definitely try to escape immediately, such as jumping into the lake, which would make it difficult to catch him.

"Don't keep looking at him..."

After whispering a reminder, Wu Guodong pretended to scan the lake surface, casually glanced at the bearded man, and then frowned slightly.

"The build is indeed very similar, but it looks quite different..."

"What about cutting his hair, sticking on a beard, and tanning a little?"

"Don't worry, let me take another look."

Wu Guodong said in a low voice, then found opportunities to take a few more glances, each time for no more than three seconds, to make sure he wouldn't arouse the other party's suspicion.

Then, he suddenly nodded.

"Can't see very clearly, but... there's a possibility."

"Why so much trouble? I'll just grab him for you." Qi Zixiao found it troublesome...

"Don't!"

Wu Guodong quickly stopped her, "If it's really him, then he's a murderous maniac, like a madman, who might have a weapon on him. It's too dangerous for you to go. Let us police handle this."

"I see..."

Wu Guodong thought for a moment and said, "It's almost time for lunch and siesta. They'll all have to dock and come up for food."

"Let's take this opportunity to control him. Whether it's him or not, we'll know then."

"Lunch?"

Qi Zixiao's eyes lit up, "How's the taste?"

She said it wasn't that she was too much of a foodie, but... she had eaten too much instant noodles!

Besides, after running around for so long, her stomach was already growling with hunger.

Wu Guodong: "(O_O)???"

"Actually... it's not bad, I guess?"

"Then get me one too." Qi Zixiao said directly, "I'll pay."

What the hell.

As soon as the words came out, Wu Guodong didn't know whether to laugh or cry. So what exactly was in this kid's head? How could the topic change so quickly?

"You come with me first. I'll explain to them, and then... we can have lunch brought over early, to avoid any unforeseen delays."

Afterward.

Wu Guodong took Qi Zixiao to join the other police officers, made various arrangements, and then had one of the dredging boat workers order fast food.

These workers were originally almost scared to death, but seeing Wu Guodong chatting with Qi Zixiao for a long time, they weren't so afraid anymore.

It seemed that everything had returned to the way it was before.

But...

The five or six police officers in Wu Guodong's team had strange expressions on their faces.

"Don't look!"

Wu Guodong scolded in a low voice, "I understand people like Qiu Shufeng. He's definitely born with sensitive nerves and has super strong counter-surveillance abilities, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to flee all the way to our C City."

"Listen to my arrangements. Later, we'll each occupy a position, block his escape route, and then conduct an inspection and comparison."

"If it's him, take him down immediately. If it's not, don't alert him..."

"Okay, Captain."

Seeing everyone respond, Wu Guodong nodded in satisfaction.

As for why he didn't want to alert the enemy...

It was actually also to protect 'Lin Fan'. After all, if the other party wasn't Qiu Shufeng, wouldn't Lin Fan's actions be considered a false alarm?

A big commotion would ultimately be bad, a smaller commotion would mean less trouble.

Before long, the worker returned, followed by a tricycle loaded with boxed lunches.

"Time to eat."

Wu Guodong smiled and greeted the workers who were resting, "Everyone, call the others back, you need to be full to have the strength to work."
