The Sweetness of the Seventies-Chapter 1239 - 1207: Capture

Now he couldn’t move against these people yet, he had to inform He Tiantian and then discuss what to do next.

Tonight, not only did Cui Heng arrive, but Little Rotating Turtle did as well, who not only overheard their conversation but also discovered the location of the tunnel, the route, the number of people involved, and obtained clear evidence.

After returning, Little Rotating Turtle quietly went back to her room.

Now He Tiantian, Huo Ruimin, and Little Rotating Turtle shared a room.

Huo Ruimin was already asleep, but in order not to wake her, Little Rotating Turtle set up a barrier and said, "Mother, that group of people are Tomb Robbers, the same ones from over a decade ago. Lu Da died in the cave, and that shopkeeper is the Lu Er who escaped last time."

"So that’s how it is," He Tiantian nodded, "So it was them."

"Yes, they’ve already dug a tunnel. I’ve calculated that in about five or six days they should be able to break through and reach the tomb," Little Rotating Turtle said, "The tomb is indeed very large with many valuable things inside."

"Okay, that’s enough time," He Tiantian said, "I’ll call Qi Ling tomorrow and tell him, asking him to send people over quickly."

He’s now the Deputy Director of Huai City Public Security Bureau, young and capable with real power.

As long as it’s confirmed, He Tiantian is not afraid.

Early the next day, Cui Heng came over himself to inform He Tiantian that the archaeology department would send people immediately, and he had also discovered the identities of that group, which were as they had suspected.

Hearing this, He Tiantian nodded and said, "Alright, I’ll get in touch with the police, and the archaeology side will rely on Professor Cui."

"Yes, there won’t be any issues on my side," Cui Heng said, "That Lu Er is the leader of the previous tomb robbing gang. As soon as the personnel are in place, we can arrest them."

Once Cui Heng finished speaking, he went to meet the people from the archaeology department.

He Tiantian went to call Qi Ling.

Qi Ling had just arrived at the office when he received He Tiantian’s call.

Over the phone, Qi Ling took the matter very seriously and immediately led people over to make the arrest.

Two hours later, Qi Ling had already brought people over, setting up base in the police station near Qijia Village. The excuse for their presence was not to capture Tomb Robbers but a severe crackdown.

Qi Ling, dressed in plain clothes, went to visit Third Grandma Qi and Old Man Qi.

Now that it was confirmed, He Tiantian informed everyone upon Qi Ling’s arrival.

"How many people did you bring?" He Tiantian asked, "There are over a dozen in that group. Including those in the shop, there might be twenty."

"I brought ten people," Qi Ling said, "Seems like it might not be enough. But right now, there isn’t enough police force available in the city to spare that many people."

Old Master Huo came in from outside and asked, "What exactly is going on?"

"The other day, Tiantian recognized the Tomb Robbers..." He Tiantian had already thought of an excuse and recounted it truthfully. frёeωebɳovel.com

Old Master Huo was taken aback and said, "No wonder the bodyguards have been particularly alert these past few days, so this has happened. If you want to catch them all, this handful of people won’t be enough, especially since Qijia Village is right here, along with tourists from elsewhere."

"But we really can’t spare any more people right now," He Tiantian said, "Grandfather, can you think of any solutions?"

Old Master Huo pondered and said, "Let me make a call, you two step outside for a moment."

He Tiantian and Qi Ling stepped out.

Old Master Huo directly dialed the stationed forces in Huai City, and after being transferred, he got through and explained the situation.

The other side immediately agreed to send two platoons over, about sixty to seventy people.

Hearing that Old Master Huo had arranged for troops, Qi Ling was relieved, with their forces now deemed sufficient.

The shopkeeper of Wen Bao Zhai was somewhat restless today, but after close inspection, found nothing amiss.

Cui Heng was very upset that day; he waited all day but the people from the city’s archaeology department never showed up.

That Director Hou is really unreliable!

In the evening, when He Tiantian saw an agitated Cui Heng rush over, she asked, "Professor Cui, what happened?"

"The cultural department’s archaeologists from the city didn’t show up at all," Professor Cui angrily said, "Those people are probably in a meeting again, wishing someone would report a tomb discovery or that it would be unearthed by peasants. Only then will they come late, not needing to use their brains to excavate relics."

"Hehe, those people are really reaping without sowing," He Tiantian chuckled, "Let’s not worry about them. I have already contacted the police from the station, and with some more people coming over tonight, we plan to wipe out that gang in one swoop."

Cui Heng was stunned for a moment then nodded, "That works, our main goal is to catch the Tomb Robbers. As long as those people are caught, they won’t endanger the lives of the common folk. As for the items in the burial site, let the archaeologists fuss over them themselves."

"Right, that’s settled," He Tiantian nodded, "Tonight, the armed police will take the lead, and you, Master Cui, along with Cui Ying, will be responsible for stopping any that slip through the net, is that okay?"

Cui Heng nodded, "Yes!"

At twelve o’clock at night, when everything was quiet.

Qi Ling led his men secretly to Wen Bao Zhai.

The surroundings were pitch dark and utterly silent.

Cui Ying, Cui Yong, and Cui Heng secretly sent the children to He Tiantian’s house and went to block the exits.

The shopkeeper couldn’t sleep at night and got up cautiously, heading to the back room, lifting a wood panel on the floor to reveal a basement.

Inside the basement, several men were playing cards and drinking.

"Are you guys drinking?" the shopkeeper said coldly, "Don’t you know we need to work harder?"

"Second Master, we’re well-hidden here, nobody will find out," one of the men said, "It’s late now, and the brothers have been working overtime with empty stomachs. They’re just here to drink and eat something."

"Second uncle, they really just came out," Lu Jiajia spoke up, "Second uncle, rest assured, I don’t drink and have been vigilant. There’ll be no problems."

Hearing his niece’s words, the shopkeeper felt satisfied, nodding, "Good, you’re doing better than these grown men."

"Jiajia is after all Boss Lu’s daughter, no dog would stand before a tiger’s might," another middle-aged man praised, "Following Lu Family, we enjoy the best of everything. Second Master, you can be completely at ease. This time we’ll definitely leave smoothly."

"Good, I’m reassured with you leading them. Work hard," the shopkeeper encouraged them before leaving.

However, as soon as he climbed up from the basement and took out a flashlight to go out, he was met at the doorway with Platoon Leader Wang’s gun barrel to his head. The shopkeeper attempted to escape in the chaos but was subdued by Qi Ling.

"Get away!" Seeing he was caught and could not escape, the shopkeeper immediately shouted.

Although his voice was loud, the basement’s soundproofing had been done very well for secrecy, so those inside didn’t hear anything.
