Chapter 913: A Big Fish and a Small Fish
And right now, the most important thing for Gu Qiaoqiao is to master the spirit talismans passed down by the Gu Family Ancestor.
Gu Qiaoqiao thought learning this would be simple, just like drawing, where a teacher shows you how to draw and you just follow along.
But when she actually started practicing, Gu Qiaoqiao realized it wasn't as easy as she imagined.
The Gu Family Ancestor made drawing talismans in the air seem as effortless as flowing clouds and light breezes, each stroke was so graceful. But when Gu Qiaoqiao stood in the room and attempted to draw the first talisman in the air, she realized how strenuous it really was.
Every stroke seemed to weigh a thousand pounds.
It also felt as if something in the air was obstructing her, preventing her from drawing.
It took Gu Qiaoqiao two full hours to complete the first talisman.
For Gu Qiaoqiao, this was utterly useless.
If it came down to battle, no one would give her two hours to draw a talisman with no offensive power.
So now Gu Qiaoqiao's task is to draw the spirit talismans as quickly as possible.
That's why in the past few days, Gu Qiaoqiao has stayed inside, practicing talismans without going anywhere, and during this time Qin Yize hasn't called either—clearly he's very busy, which is indeed the case.
This time, the operation is a joint effort between the base guard battalion and the police officers.
And Qin Yize is the chief commander of this operation.
When Luh Fei and his team followed those two people, they didn't expect to find a big fish and a small fish.
From what they learned, the man was a subordinate of the Chief, but he wouldn't confess who the Chief really was, stubbornly holding out.
Even with recorded evidence, he refused to admit anything, adopting a 'dead pig unafraid of boiling water' attitude.
The other person, a waitress named Qi Cuijuan.
She, on the other hand, disclosed everything she knew in detail. She knew this person's nickname was Two-Faced and his boss was very wealthy, but she didn't know who his boss was.
She would provide him with some information and also help convey various messages.
Each time she delivered information, she received more or less some compensation.
This time, the information Qi Cuijuan provided was about An Xiaotong's approximate departure time.
She took advantage of everyone's distraction to sneak into the dining department manager's office, used the phone there to call Two-Faced, who was waiting by the public phone booth. What happened next had nothing to do with her.
These confessions from Qi Cuijuan, along with recordings, were enough to convict Two-Faced, but that wasn't the main goal. The priority was to catch the Chief behind Two-Faced.
And at this moment, Qin Yize had already vaguely realized that the so-called Chief should be Lin Fanpeng.
If Lin Fanpeng could be found now, then a big fish would be caught, and all the small fish and shrimp would end up in the net.
And from Two-Faced's confession, they learned that they surprisingly have three teams: one responsible for vehicle modifications, another for smuggling operations.
There was also a team specifically tasked with handling various cases.
These were all aboveboard operations; there was also something mysterious going on beneath the surface that even he didn't know about.
Two-Faced gritted his teeth in resistance, refusing to divulge Lin Fanpeng's residence.
However, at this moment, Qin Yize also knew that Lin Fanpeng likely has moved.
He might not be foolish enough to just wait there to be captured.
