Chapter 39 Bald Man Proves Himself
The next moment, the police siren blared again, and the police car whistled past.
Although Jintai City had long been urbanized, people in the suburbs still retained the habit of grabbing a bowl of noodles, squatting at the door, and chatting while eating.
A few old men were squatting in a row, eating noodles and chatting, when suddenly...
Boom, boom, boom...
"Is that thunder?" someone asked.
All heads stretched out toward the west in unison, only to see a smoke dragon rushing from the end of the road, unable to clearly see what was running, only a dark blur.
The people almost instinctively covered their bowls with their hands, then the dark shadow approached, turned out to be a gigantic wild boar! The wild boar, with a middle-aged man in its grip, who was terrified, sped past the people like lightning, heading east, leaving behind a trail of dust...
After the dust settled, the villagers stared blankly.
"What just went by?"
"Looked like a big black wild boar."
"Seems it had a person in its mouth..."
"Seems it's that official who came to inspect our place a while ago."
"Cut the nonsense, it must be a collective hallucination. There might be huge wild boars in the world, but it's absolutely impossible for one to run around carrying an official! Even if it did, would the official's subordinates agree? Would our Jintai City police agree?"
An obviously educated elder stated.
The people thought it made sense and were about to nod in agreement when a shrill siren sounded from the west.
The crowd stretched their necks again and looked over, only to see a cloud of dust filling the sky from the west! Continue your adventure with My Virtual Library Empire
The people expertly covered their bowls with their hands, then saw police cars howling and sirens blaring, following the dirt road heading east.
After all the cars had passed and the dust had settled,
The elders sighed in relief, slowly removing their large hands, grateful that no sand had fallen in.
They looked down carefully, but as they did, a whoosh of dust fell from above, instantly blackening their faces!
A row of people, huffing and puffing, cussed as they took their bowls and went home. Soon after, calls could be heard from their courtyards: "Dahuang (Xiaohei, Wangcai...) eat your noodles!"
The police pursued for a while but soon had to stop as ahead was a dense forest in The Yellow Mountains with no road, and even their decent cars couldn't make it through. They had to get out and search on foot.
But Zhu Ganglie didn't care about these barriers, and plunged into the forest, running wildly until he reached Tang Sanzang before the sun set.
Zhu Ganglie threw the man from his mouth in front of Tang Sanzang and said, "Master, he should be able to answer all your questions!"
Although Director Jiang was worldly, seeing a man turn into a pig and, clutching him, smash through the window from the sixth floor and run as if about to fly had thoroughly frightened him.
Until being thrown onto the ground, he still thought he was in a dream.
Now...
"He spoke, the pig actually spoke!" Director Jiang exclaimed, pinching his own thigh at the same time. It hurt, it wasn't a dream!
Just then, he not only saw a bald man approaching, blocking the sunlight, but also saw that bald man smiling at him...
"Buddha... wanted criminal!" Director Jiang snapped to his senses, suddenly realizing something. This bald man and that giant wild boar, weren't they the wanted criminals he had just read about in the files!
Tang Sanzang rolled his eyes and said, "You're the wanted criminal, your whole family are wanted criminals! I am Tang Sanzang, a legitimate monk who has been to Mount Ling and met the Buddha."
Tang Sanzang spoke earnestly, but to Director Jiang, it was nothing but an eyeroll. He had cracked numerous fraud cases in his lifetime and encountered countless fraudsters, but such low-level trickery was something he rarely came across...
Seeing the disbelief in the other party, Tang Sanzang couldn't be bothered to explain. Instead, he crouched in front of the director and said, "I want to ask a few questions, why is there a warrant for the arrest of this poor monk? I haven't done anything bad."
Director Jiang, always upright and just, although the current situation was very unfavorable for him, wasn't frightened. Instead, he took a deep breath to calm himself down and said, "You haven't done anything bad?
Hu Hao and the rest have confessed. They're your subordinates. Under your secret planning, they robbed the Tai Ping Bank.
And you were indeed wearing the same mask when you appeared in the Tai Ping Bank, although you handed in a card, that card wasn't yours.
The owner of the card is a lady named Chen Wei, who is currently missing.
We asked Hu Hao, and he confessed, saying you killed Chen Wei and stole her bank card!
You commit murder, robbery, bank robbery, and still claim you haven't done anything bad?
If these aren't bad deeds, then what are?"
Tang Sanzang listened, baffled, thinking, what is all this? What does any of it have to do with me?
Also, who is Hu Hao? Why don't I remember knowing such a person?
So Tang Sanzang asked this question.
Director Jiang sneered, "I must say, your acting is not bad. Hu Hao, your top henchman, a key member of the robbers who helped you rob Tai Ping Bank. You say you don't know him?"
Tang Sanzang threw up his hands and said, "I don't know him, I really don't! Dammit, why is he pinning this on me for no reason?"
Director Jiang crossed his arms and said, "Exactly, if you don't know each other, why would he slander you? Enough with the act!
You now have two choices, one is to come back with me and face the law.
At that time, you can confront Hu Hao face to face in court. If you are indeed innocent, we won't wrong you!
But if it really was you.
Even if you kill me, there will be more like me who will step forward to bring you to justice!"
Tang Sanzang was unhappy, very unhappy!
He stroked his chin and looked at Director Jiang, "So you mean, if I go with you, I can meet Hu Hao?"
Director Jiang nodded, "Of course, he is locked up in our station!"
As soon as the words fell, Director Jiang saw the bald man in front of him laugh, his broad white teeth glinting coldly under the dim sky light.
"I see... Wufan!" Tang Sanzang looked towards Zhu Ganglie.
Zhu Ganglie got the hint instantly: "Understood, master, just a moment!"
After saying that, Zhu Ganglie turned and ran, disappearing in a flash!
Meanwhile, in the temporary detention room of the Jin Tai City Police Headquarters, several people, hearing the noises outside, also stretched their necks, trying hard to see something.
"Officer, what's going on outside? Why are there explosions and sirens again? Judging by the sounds, it's as intense as when they caught us! What, did someone rob a bank again?" Brother Hao cheekily asked the police officer watching over them.
The police officer shook his head and said, "It's more serious than your case; our director was taken away by a wild boar."
"Oh, the director was taken away... taken away by what?" Brother Hao asked in astonishment.
