Hong Kong variety show, I am a charming cop.

Chapter 55 Lai Fu Gets Arrested

A tall, thin man entered the convenience store.

Through the shop window, Li Jian immediately recognized that the guy who looked eight times like Daniel Wu was the male lead of this time—Lai Fu (Daniel Wu).

Li Jian said, "I'm going to the convenience store to buy a pack of cigarettes."

Neither Miao Zhongxin nor He Wenzhan suspected anything as they watched Li Jian walk into the convenience store.

Li Jian walked to a spot two meters behind Lai Fu.

All I heard was Laifu saying to the female shop assistant, "Excuse me... do you have Panato?"

The female shop assistant exclaimed "Ah!"

Lai Fu repeated, "Pannado."

The female shop assistant suddenly realized: "Panato?"

The female shop assistant looked at another female shop assistant and asked, "Where is Panado?"

Another female shop assistant responded, "It's in the cabinet."

Laifu stood there dumbfounded, waiting for the female clerk to bring him the medicine.

I inadvertently noticed a pile of newspapers on the convenience store shelf.

Laifu picked up the newspaper, whose headline read, "Gangster's Son Dies Tragically in Car Accident."

Below the news headline are two photos, one of a man and one of a woman.

Lai Fu was instantly captivated, and his brows furrowed.

The woman in the newspaper was none other than Lin Su'er, whom Lai Fu had been searching for in vain.

Li Jian called out, "Lai Fu!"

Lai Fu suddenly turned around.

Bah!

Laifu saw a fist the size of a clay pot coming straight at him.

Li Jian landed a powerful punch squarely on Lai Fu's face.

Lai Fu screamed, covered his nose, and tears and blood gushed out instantly.

Before he could recover.

Li Jian delivered a lightning-fast five-hit lash to Lai Fu's neck.

Lai Fu didn't even utter a sound before collapsing to the ground.

The entire sequence of movements was so fluid and smooth that it didn't even take three seconds.

Looking at Laifu lying asleep on the ground, Li Jian said indifferently, "Don't think I won't hit you just because you're handsome!"

The two female shop assistants realized they had encountered some thugs and prepared to scream.

"Don't shout, I'm a policeman!"

Li Jian took out his ID from his pocket and hung it around his neck.

"What happened?"

He Wenzhan, Miao Zhongxin, and others rushed over upon hearing the commotion.

Li Jian picked up the newspaper, wiped the blood from the back of his hand, and said, "Miao sir, take a look. Is this the filthy rat you're looking for?"

Miao Zhongxin quickly squatted down.

He pulled out the wanted poster from his pocket and compared it carefully.

It’s time to say it or not.

Although Lai Fu's face was disfigured, it did not affect his handsomeness and he was highly recognizable.

"It's really him!"

Miao Zhongxin looked on in disbelief. He turned around, looking as if he had seen a ghost.

“Li sir, how did you know he was the Rat? I remember the operation plan was only discussed in our intelligence department and was not leaked to outsiders.”

Li Jian shrugged: "Don't you intelligence officers also have informants?"

Li Jian only said one sentence and then offered no further explanation.

Miao Zhongxin understood what Li Jian meant.

There is overlap between informants.

Just like there are no absolute secrets in this world.

No wall is completely airtight.

Li Jian laughed and said, "Miao sir, you really got lucky. I noticed him speaking Mandarin earlier, so I paid attention to him. I didn't expect it to be him. I just stumbled upon him by sheer luck."

Miao Zhongxin said with a wry smile, "If you're a blind cat, what are we? Blind cats?"

Having caught the rat, Miao Zhongxin lost his appetite for morning tea.

"Ah Bin, Ah Gui, Ah Juan, the three of you take the filthy rat back and interrogate it overnight to try and get a confession."

"Li sir, I'm so sorry, we have to go back and get busy now."

Li Jian waved his hand: "There will be plenty of opportunities, you guys are busy."

Miao Zhongxin was at a loss for words.

The few hours he spent with Li Jian had completely changed his worldview.

The dirty rat that you painstakingly tried to catch was taken care of by the other party in the time it takes to eat oden.

As for the white flour incident, it didn't seem like a case at all in Li Jian's eyes.

Li Jian's abnormal behavior made Miao Zhongxin waver in his belief in atheism for the first time.

"Li sir, I'll write a report as soon as I get back. Don't worry, you deserve the most credit for these two things tonight."

The group members behind Miao Zhongxin seemed to want to say something.

Miao Zhongxin raised his hand to stop him: "No need to say anything more. If it weren't for Inspector Li's help tonight, we don't know what would have happened to us."

Li Jian looked at He Wenzhan and said, "Miao sir, don't forget to include Ah Zhan in the list. Without his help, I won't be able to find the flour, and I'm afraid it will take some effort to find this dirty rat as well."

Also, I don't care about being credited first or second. Write your report exactly as you normally would; after all, this is your case.

Miao Zhongxin thought Li Jian was angry, so he quickly explained, "Li sir, please don't say that."

Li Jian raised his hand to interrupt him: "I came out tonight to find someone. Solving the case was just something I did on the side. I'm happy to be able to help everyone. Wearing this uniform, we're all on the same side. As for credit, it's nothing."

"Officer Li is a righteous man!"

"Li Sir is a real man!"

Miao Zhongxin's team members were overjoyed.

Miao Zhongxin patted Li Jian on the shoulder: "Li sir, thank you very much, I accept this favor."

Miao Zhongxin had been stuck in the position of inspector for a long time and urgently needed to make a contribution to get promoted.

Li Jian's words were tantamount to handing him a great gift.

Li Jian laughed and said, "That's too formal. You're older than me, Officer Miao, so I'll call you Brother Miao. You can just call me Ah Jian."

"Ajian!"

"Brother Miao!"

Miao Zhongxin said to the people behind him, "From now on, A-Jian is our brother. Everyone call him Brother Jian."

Ah Bin and the others all exclaimed in unison, "Brother Jian!"

Got it!

He gained another group of followers.

Li Jian feels that he is now no different from a mafia boss.

It's just that a triad boss takes in gangsters as his underlings.

He recruited a group of police officers as his underlings.

If he keeps doing this, even if he doesn't become a section chief, he'll probably become an uncrowned king.

Miao Zhongxin led the team away.

He Wenzhan also got up to leave, but Li Jian stopped him, saying, "What's the rush? Finish your meal before you go."

Li Jian spoke.

He Wenzhan could only listen.

Some of He Wenzhan's underlings were dissatisfied.

Although it was your achievement to catch those robbers last time, their leader was still a police chief, on par with Li Jian.

Now they're being bossed around like underlings, which makes the team members lose face.

These team members started to disregard everything.

The noise from eating also increased slightly.

He Wenzhan turned around and glared at them: "Those who don't want to eat, go back to the car!"

The team members quieted down a bit, but they were still unconvinced.

Li Jian doesn't care about these minor roles at all.

Only immature people show their resentment outwardly; such people are the easiest to control and will never amount to much.

"Ah Zhan, your brothers are very loyal to you."

He Wenzhan was startled.

Others may not know Li Jian's abilities, but he has witnessed them firsthand.

And more than once.

Li Jian's performance can no longer be explained by common sense.

So when Li Jian said he was some kind of reincarnated deity, He Wenzhan actually believed it to a large extent.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain at all.

Why are they able to accurately target and manipulate those criminals time and time again?

Just like just now.

Li Jian himself said it was luck.

He didn't know if Miao Zhongxin believed it or not, but he himself didn't.

Everyone was enjoying their meal when Li Jian insisted on going to the convenience store, but he didn't buy anything.

He Wenzhan suspected that Li Jian was a fortune teller who could predict the exact time the rat would appear in the convenience store.

Thinking about it, He Wenzhan couldn't help but shudder.

The other party may possess the ability to foresee the future, but they may also have the ability to divine and change their luck.

If one's brothers anger Li Jian, the latter might cast spells and curses on them...

He Wenzhan became more and more frightened the more he thought about it.

He could no longer feel gratitude towards Li Jian; his gratitude was mixed with fear and dread.

So he only dared to sit on half a stool, looking like a primary school student listening attentively to a lesson.

Li Jian had no idea that He Wenzhan had so many inner monologues.

His eyes scanned the streets.

Lai Fu has been caught, but Hua Ge and the others haven't arrived yet.
