Chapter 75 Xu Er Fishes

Yu family.

Su Tianyu held his phone, his tone slightly anxious, and asked, "When did Wu Shixiong break out of prison?"

"He escaped from the police department hospital tonight, and injured three police officers. But I haven't asked about the specifics yet." Wang Daolin replied in a relaxed tone, "Just now, someone from the unit called to let me know. I heard this kid used to work for your Su family, so they asked me to check with you if you have any leads."

Hearing this, Su Tianyu replied without hesitation, "I don't know much about this kid, just an acquaintance."

"Ah! Can you help me find out? If you have any leads, call me directly."

"Okay, I got it," Su Tianyu nodded.

"Okay, that's it then." Wang Daolin hung up the phone.

Su Tianyu stood in the Yu family's dining room, muttering in astonishment, "How could he run away? What was he thinking!"

...

Around 1:30 a.m., at the entrance of the Dragon City Police Department, Lao Yang, dressed in plain clothes and carrying a leather bag, walked down the steps and got into Tang Baiqing's car.

"What's going on?!" Tang Baiqing asked urgently.

"What's going on? The guy ran away!" Lao Yang replied irritably, his face gloomy, "My people just called, they went to Wu's house, but Wu Shixiong didn't go back. His parents just had dinner with his girlfriend tonight, and they don't know anything yet."

"If he didn't go home, where could he go?" Tang Baiqing asked patiently, "Brother Yang, has our police department issued relevant search warrants?"

Lao Yang took out a cigarette case with an extremely ugly expression, frowned and roared, "Are you stupid?! You know what's going on with this case, don't you? He's taking the blame for you, do you dare to make this a city-wide sensation? A city-wide warrant, all regions cooperating in the investigation, wouldn't that make this matter bigger and bigger? If the media gets wind of it and makes a big deal out of a murderer escaping from prison and attacking the police, the higher-ups will pay attention, and the fact that he's taking the blame will be exposed, wouldn't you and I be finished?!"

Tang Baiqing's face flushed red from being scolded.

"We're trying to suppress this, and you're thinking of a city-wide search, what's going on in that brain of yours? I really regret helping you with this!" Lao Yang's mentality exploded, "The New Year is coming soon, tell me, isn't this disgusting?"

Tang Baiqing's emotions were much worse than Lao Yang's. He had been patient and accommodating before because Lao Yang was the case handler, and he needed his help. But now that the latter was constantly complaining about him, Tang Baiqing couldn't take it anymore, "Can you be more polite when you speak?! When you took the money, weren't you afraid of getting into trouble? Did I want this kind of mess to happen?"

Hearing this, Lao Yang squinted at Tang Baiqing, took two deep puffs of the cigarette he had just lit, and didn't say a word.

Inside the car, the two were silent for a while before Lao Yang adjusted his emotions and said, "It's useless to talk about anything else now, we have to catch him immediately. Otherwise, this kid has no money and no resources, he might commit another crime. If he really pulls off a few robberies and injuries during the New Year, then we're done for! Once a case occurs in another district and attracts attention, the old case might be exposed."

"Then how do you say we catch him?" Tang Baiqing asked.

"The deputy director just called me and gave me a good scolding, and the detention center is also full of complaints." Lao Yang replied in a low voice, "However, I mentioned to the deputy director that he should issue an internal notice to all units in the city to ensure that the person has not run away."

"Right, right!" Tang Baiqing nodded.

"I analyzed it, this kid has no money and didn't go home, it will be difficult for him to survive outside." Lao Yang's criminal investigation experience was still sufficient, "And he has intellectual disabilities, his thinking logic is not as good as a normal person, and he doesn't have any anti-reconnaissance experience. My personal judgment is that if he has nowhere to go, he will most likely hide in the area where he used to live, because it's familiar and gives him a sense of security, so we do this..."

Tang Baiqing listened quietly to Lao Yang's suggestions, nodding frequently.

...

Outside the district, in a living village, at Liang Feng's house.

Xu Er sat in a chair, frowning and looking at Liang Feng and asked, "Are you saying that you can't lure anyone out now? Are you messing with me?!"

Liang Feng knelt on the ground, replying with a mental breakdown, "Brother, I've told you the truth... is there any need for me to mess with you?"

Xu Er was silent.

"After we finished that job at sea, we all separated and went home for the New Year." Liang Feng continued, lowering his head, "Our small group only contacts the team leader, Brother Hei. We usually don't have much private contact. Because we are very afraid that if one person has an accident, it will lead to others being implicated, so everyone has a tacit understanding. Except for work, we rarely reveal our private lives."

Xu Er listened without responding.

"If I rashly contact anyone now, it will definitely arouse suspicion. Because it's the New Year now, many people won't use their work phones anymore." Liang Feng replied.

"If you have no value, then I can only find psychological balance in you." Xu Er said with a cold face, "More than ten million worth of goods, I can kill your whole family a hundred times and still not feel relieved, do you understand what I mean?"

"Don't... don't, brother, let me think again!"

"I don't have time to waste with you." Xu Er reached out and grabbed the other party's collar, "I want to see your value, immediately, right now!"

Liang Feng looked at the other party with a pale face, and after his brain worked quickly, he shouted, "There is... there is a way, but we have to wait two days."

"What way?" Xu Er asked.

"...I'll call Lao Hei directly and say there's a high-paying job, and ask him to come over and discuss it." Liang Feng said quickly, "But we have to wait until after the thirtieth, so that it doesn't seem abrupt."

Xu Er frowned.

"He's also home for the New Year, and calling now is really easy to arouse his suspicion." Liang Feng said immediately, "On the first day of the New Year, I'll contact him and say there's a job running to the Hua district, it's very dangerous, but the price is high, he should believe it. Because Lao Hei also loves money, he's short of money."

"Damn it!" Xu Er released the other party's collar and said fiercely, "If I can't get it done on the first day, I'll cremate your mother first."

"Yes, yes!" Liang Feng nodded repeatedly and said, "Bro... Brother, if I bring out the upstream contact, you have to let my family go first."

"Okay."

Xu Er replied, turned and walked outside, and dialed his brother's number.

"Hello?"

"I only caught a henchman, he's not the person who directly contacts Yu Mingyuan." Xu Er spoke concisely, "This kid said he can bring out the upstream contact on the first day, so I can't go back this year, I can only squat here."

"Is he messing with you?"

"His family is controlled inside and out, he doesn't dare." Xu Er replied with certainty, "His whole family is in my hands, if he dares to talk nonsense, I'll kill one first."

Xu Hu pondered for a long time, "Catch the upstream contact, immediately force him to talk, and then I'll directly take care of Yu Mingyuan, I've found all the connections."

"Okay." Xu Er nodded.

After speaking, the two brothers ended the call.

...

Zha Nan district.

Su Tianyu was driving home alone when his phone suddenly rang.

"Hello?"

"Da Xiong escaped from prison, do you know about this?" Bai Hongbo's voice sounded.
