Chapter 432: Nanjiang City Up In Flames (2/2)
We rushed to the window to see what had happened. There was a firelight in the distance. Xiaotao immediately called the police in that jurisdiction and the other party said they were investigating.
Just after she hung up, Sun Tiger called. ”Something’s happened! A group of thugs appeared on the street, madly smashing stores. Xiaotao, quickly send three people out to patrol. I suspect it’s related to the Dog Trainer!”
Xiaotao immediately assigned several officers out on duty while I called Dali and told him to close up the store at once as well as inform the other store owners on the same street.
When the officers had been sent out, the phone suddenly rang. Several citizens said that someone in Jiangxing District was attacking people with a knife as loud sobbing rang throughout the street.
After that, the phones were ringing off the hook with people reporting all sorts of crime–
”Officer, a truck suddenly rushed in near my community and injured two security guards. Send an ambulance...”
”I’d like to report a fire on Coast Road. I saw several people throwing burning bottles...”
”Help!!! Officer, save me. Some bad guys broke into my bakery and killed my grandparents!”
Xiaotao was wide-eyed with disbelief. In the blink of an eye, several jurisdictions in Nanjiang City were riddled with crimes. Right then, an officer ran up, panting, ”Captain Huang, there’s someone outside who wants to see you.”
”I don’t have the time now. We’ve got to head out to maintain law and order!”
”That man is the Dog Trainer!” blurted the officer.
When we arrived downstairs, we saw the Dog Trainer standing alone in front of the station. He grinned, ”Song Yang, didn't you say that the next time we meet again would be the day I die? Well, here I am. Are you going to arrest me?”
Behind him, all of Nanjiang City was burning, the flames lighting up the night sky. There were screams in the streets and loud crashing in the distance.
Xiaotao angrily pulled out her gun, ”What have you done?”
The Dog Trainer shook his finger playfully, ”Don't be impulsive, Captain Huang. I just played all my cards. If I die, Nanjiang City will be buried with me. Can you bear the responsibility of that?”
”You instructed your men to commit crimes all over the city? What the hell do we have to talk about?” I sneered.
”You’re a smart one, Consultant Song,” his lips rose in a smile. “As you can see, my dogs are venting their anger out there. Now I solemnly put forward three demands to the police. First, I need a visa and a criminal exemption order signed by the Ministry of Public Security. Secondly, I want you to escort me to the airport. Lastly, prepare a special plane for me so that I can leave the country. On top of that, you’re not allowed to ever come after me! There’s no time limit. Every time you complete a request, I’ll send instructions to my dogs, ordering them to reduce a portion of the crimes. When all three requirements are completed, they will stop all actions. And these criminals will be arrested by you. You can solve hundreds of cases in one night. Isn’t that amazing?”
“You son of a bitch, are you negotiating with the police?” cursed Xiaotao.
”Crime, as defined by law, constitutes the perpetrator and the victim, and I don't belong to any category. Therefore, from a legal standpoint, this crime tonight has nothing to do with me. But you should know that my life determines the fate of Nanjiang City. Either accept my terms or watch Nanjiang City turn into hell on Earth!”
He walked straight towards us. An officer tried to stop him but Xiaotao bit her lip, shaking her head. A group of officers was forced to make way for a criminal.
The Dog Trainer swaggered through the main entrance of the city bureau, stretched out his arms and said, ”I'll go in, have a cup of tea and take a short break. Captain Huang, you talk to your superiors!”
