Chapter 76 The matter is settled
After waiting on the mountain for a while, five patrol teams immediately came to provide support.
Old Wolf didn't waste any words. He spoke with the people in charge and then, after a while, several teams were formed.
The patrol team all took out their guns. Some stood guard on the side, some lay down around aiming their guns down below, and others took out ropes and tied them to the surrounding trees.
Looking at the busy police officers around him, Shan Yaowen realized that they were all carrying guns, and it seemed that only he and Uncle Liu were not armed.
He originally wanted to squat around and watch, but when the police arrived, they asked them to move aside for their safety.
Old Wolf glanced down, exchanged a look with the other patrol captains, and then prepared to begin the first descent.
"Everyone get ready. Those going down, load your guns and prioritize your own safety. Those above, be prepared. If anyone is spotted below, you may fire at will. Make sure the safety of those descending on the ropes is guaranteed."
After he finished speaking, Old Wolf took the lead and grabbed the rope first. The other three ropes next to him also had their own people, basically the captains of various patrol teams who took the lead.
"Walk!"
Seeing that everything was ready, Old Wolf gave the order, and then the three of them simultaneously grabbed the rope and descended.
Shan Yaowen craned his neck to watch them go down, as did the other villagers who were leading the way; they were all curious whether there was anyone down there.
Old Wolf successfully landed the first three people, then gave a hand signal, and the second group began to descend by grabbing the ropes.
Shan Yaowen frowned. Had he guessed wrong?
This mountain stream doesn't look very big, so logically, anyone below should be able to see it at a glance.
"Bang!"
Just as Shan Yaowen was about to give up in disappointment, a gunshot rang out from below.
Then came even more intense gunfire.
Even the guards on the upper floors opened fire.
Shan Yaowen and a group of villagers stood up abruptly, disregarding the protection of the police, and crowded to the edge to look down.
Among the second group of people who descended, one was shot and fell to the ground. The others were firing to suppress him, and the source of their fire was a mountain wall.
"Hit it hard, damn it, these bastards dug a hole in here."
"Hold on, those above, call for more backup, found it! It's right here."
"Don't come down yet, they could easily hit you."
"How's the brother who got shot?"
"It's okay, I only hit the arm, I won't die. Don't worry about me, let's deal with these guys first."
"..."
Shan Yaowen and the others wanted to help, but they were powerless to do so. The best help they could give was to avoid causing trouble for the police officers.
The surrounding police ignored them and were busy coordinating with officers to beat up the group below.
They hadn't expected the group of thieves to be so well-armed.
However, no matter how strong a force is, once its lair is discovered, it will only face destruction.
In less than ten minutes, the reinforcements arrived and immediately suppressed the group, then launched an attack.
At that time, the public security officers were mostly demobilized soldiers, and their combat skills were far superior to those of a few bandits.
At first, we were caught off guard because of the top and bottom separation.
Moreover, the enemy's firepower was somewhat unexpected, which put them on the defensive.
After recovering, the five men, including Old Wolf and the wounded, rushed to the cave entrance to close the door and beat the dog.
Then the people above continued to suppress the bandits, and some of them went down. In this way, the entire group of bandits below was wiped out.
The only three survivors were spared because they voluntarily laid down their guns and surrendered.
"Three of them are still alive?" Shan Yaowen looked at the three people being brought up from above, somewhat curious.
"It's just a matter of dying a few days later." Old Wolf wiped the blood off his hands. He wasn't injured; it was from treating the brother who had been shot. That brother was also the only policeman injured in this operation.
If these three men hadn't voluntarily laid down their weapons and appeared on the ground, and if the county authorities hadn't conducted further interrogations, he would have shot them all dead as soon as he entered.
"But you guessed right, there's a Japanese base inside, the kind that's never been discovered. They used it as a secret base, and the weapons they used to commit crimes were all taken from there."
"Is it really the base?" Shan Yaowen's eyes widened, it seemed he hadn't misremembered.
These guys are really hiding inside the base.
"Yes, don't worry. We found this place thanks to you and your bird. Your brother-in-law's matter will definitely be resolved, and you might even get a reward."
Hearing this, Shan Yaowen breathed a sigh of relief and laughed, "I don't care about the reward, as long as I can get my brother-in-law out."
"You go and rest first. I still have to wait here for the old leader to send someone to take over this place."
"It's okay, let's wait together."
After receiving Lao Lang's affirmative answer, Shan Yaowen no longer felt cold; instead, he felt much more comfortable all over.
It's not their turn to finish up here.
After the handover personnel arrived, Shan Yaowen and the others followed the main force back to the county public security bureau.
Old Wolf went to help him get his brother-in-law out of trouble, while Shan Yaowen waited for news. The county public security bureau didn't treat them badly either; everyone who came had a meal before leaving, which could be considered a celebration banquet.
During dinner that evening, Shan Yaowen saw someone who surprised him. "Oh, isn't this Expert Liu?"
Expert Liu stood at a distance, holding a notebook, looking embarrassed.
He never expected that the shepherd boy would actually find the bandits.
Upon their return, the police from various patrol teams had already relayed the news, and naturally, Expert Liu also found out.
He just wanted to find a kid to vent his frustrations on casually, but he didn't expect the kid to actually be so capable.
He wasn't just putting on an act by bringing a bird along.
Lin Gong'an and the others, who were standing beside Shan Yaowen, looked at the expert at the door after hearing what was said and immediately sneered, "Expert, you still have the nerve to come to dinner?"
They were originally on the same side as Lao Lang, and since they had gotten some credit by following Shan Yaowen this time, they would be even more inclined to speak up for Shan Yaowen.
After finishing his statement, Officer Lin, seeing the expert's demeanor, became even more insistent, "Isn't this a properly trained expert? Aren't you blaming us for doing something incompetent?"
That evening, Shan Yaowen finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He didn't have any magnanimous intentions to let the matter pass easily.
If someone bullies you to your face, points their finger at you and curses you, and even shits and pisses on your head, then you wouldn't be one of them if you didn't fight back.
Most of the police officers around also looked down on that expert; they were more than happy to not try to mediate or kick him while he was down.
In the end, the expert, Liu, was so angry that he didn't even eat his meal and turned around and left.
Of course, he was an expert from the alliance, and I heard that the bureau chief personally went to appease him afterwards, so it has nothing to do with Shan Yaowen.
After dinner, Shan Yaowen and his group were arranged to stay overnight at a special guesthouse and return the next day.
The guesthouse is right next to the Public Security Bureau. It's usually used by people within the system or their families when they come to stay. Unlike other guesthouses outside, you don't have to worry about your belongings being stolen here.
It's the same room as when I first arrived.
First, settle the silly bird down. That guy really showed off today; it got plenty of food and drink when it came back.
After settling the silly bird, Shan Yaowen also planned to go to sleep.
Old Wolf wasn't in the room; he was still busy writing reports and getting people released. Police Officer Lin and the others were already asleep, their snoring deafening.
Shan Yaowen was in a similar situation. After a long day of running around, he was in good spirits, but as soon as he relaxed, he fell asleep the moment he hit the bed.
Before long, a new snoring sound was added to the room, amidst the chorus of snores.
