384: Chapter 384 Inviting Qin Chuan to come and guide the case solving
The boss nimbly counted out twenty rings and gave them to Qin Chuan.
Qin Chuan didn't waste words; he pulled out a hundred yuan, settled the payment, and held a ring as he said to Zhu Qingxi, "Wife, you want that furthest white doll, right?"
Zhu Qingxi nodded excitedly. "Mm, I want that one."
She knew her husband very well; not only did he have great physical strength, but his aim was also very precise. Throwing a ring was just a piece of cake for him.
Without even really aiming, Qin Chuan made his move. The first ring flew out and landed directly on the water bottle in front of the large doll.
"Boss, I got it."
The stall owner tried to cheat. "This one doesn't count. I haven't said start yet."
The surrounding crowd let out a chorus of boos.
The stall owner didn't even blush or skip a beat; this clearly wasn't the first time he had done something like this.
Qin Chuan smiled and didn't insist. "Fine, that ring doesn't count. Can we start now?"
The stall owner nodded. "You can start now."
Another ring flew from Qin Chuan's hand. For the second time, it landed on the water bottle in front of the large doll. It was a perfect "hollow" throw, where the ring didn't even touch the bottle.
"Boss, go get that big doll. My wife likes it."
The stall owner gave Qin Chuan an uncomfortable look, but he had no choice. He slowly went to pick up the fluffy, snow-white doll.
"Wife, we still have 19 rings left. Which other one do you want? I'll get it for you."
Zhu Qingxi happily pointed at another large doll in the distance. "Hubby, I want that pale yellow one."
A ring flew over and accurately landed on the water bottle in front of the pale yellow doll. It was another hollow throw, leaving the boss with no excuse to cheat.
Zhu Qingxi was delighted. Her husband was truly amazing!
The onlookers watched Qin Chuan with admiration. This man was a master.
Getting it once could be luck, but including the first one that didn't count, getting it three times in a row meant he was an absolute expert.
There were 18 rings left; they couldn't be wasted.
He had originally intended to let the boss off easy, but the man had poor character. Even though he had clearly hit the target the first time, the guy actually claimed it didn't count because they hadn't started.
Well, today he would make sure this boss lost everything down to his last cent.
His wife had two large dolls, which was plenty. Qin Chuan said loudly, "Does anyone else want a doll or a toy? I have 18 rings left. If I hit the target, I can give it to you."
Hearing this, the people around them grew excited.
The young couple who had just been arguing with the stall owner were the first to respond. The girl said, "Handsome, can you get that Pikachu for me? I want it."
Qin Chuan nodded slightly. The ring flew from his hand with unerring accuracy—another hollow throw. Without waiting for the boss to move, the girl's boyfriend scurried over happily to pick up the Pikachu.
The couple's faces beamed with joy.
"Brother, can you help me get that pink plushie? My girlfriend wants it."
"Big brother, I want that big white rabbit!"
"Brother, I want that Transformer!"
"..."
It wasn't just young girls; some children were also acting cute in front of Qin Chuan, their sweet voices asking for various plushies or toys.
The stall owner's expression was extremely grim, especially as he watched his stock dwindle one by one. He had invested a lot, hoping to make a big profit since it was the weekend, but instead, he was suffering a massive loss.
Given his character, the stall owner tried to cheat again after Qin Chuan hit several more targets, but the crowd all supported Qin Chuan. Their verbal backlash almost drowned him out. Unable to cheat, he could only let Qin Chuan finish all 20 rings.
Watching Qin Chuan and Zhu Qingxi leave happily, followed by the joyful crowd, the stall owner was so angry he kicked a water bottle on the ground.
He didn't plan on running the stall anymore today. He packed up and went back to his rented room. Lying on the bed, the more he thought about it, the angrier he got.
He was from Cai Family Village in Guangdong Province. Due to some friction with his family, he hadn't worked in Guangdong but had traveled all the way to Beijing, hoping to return home in glory after making money. However, his methods of making money were somewhat shady and lacked ethics; as long as he could make money, he would cross any moral line.
While he was fuming, his phone rang. It was his second uncle calling.
"Xiao Jun, my business has grown quite large now and I need help. How about coming back to help me? The issues between you and your parents are minor; leave them to me, and I'll handle them perfectly for you."
His second uncle, Village Chief Cai Jiadong, was the village head of Cai Family Village. Cai Jun knew a bit about what kind of business he was in—it was the kind of business that could get one's head chopped off.
"Second Uncle, I'm actually doing quite well in Beijing."
"Whether you're doing well or not, don't you think I know? These days, making money is all that matters; everything else is nonsense. Be a good boy and come back to help me."
After some persuasion, hearing that the whole village was involved in this business and was very united so there was no risk at all, Cai Jun was tempted. He prepared to buy a train ticket back to Guangdong Province immediately.
Qin Chuan and Zhu Qingxi had been out for most of the day. Just as they were about to head back, he received a call from Wang Hailong in Guangdong Province.
The other party was very polite, making small talk for quite a while before getting to the main point.
"Secretary Qin Chuan, a type of high-purity 'ice' has appeared in our Guangdong Province, and it's starting to spread..."
After briefly explaining the situation, he politely added, "Secretary Qin Chuan, could you find some time to come here and guide us in solving this case as quickly as possible? I'm worried that the longer it's delayed, the more this high-purity 'ice' will spread, and the more people will be harmed by it."
Qin Chuan agreed immediately without a second thought.
"Alright, I'll arrive in Guangdong Province tomorrow."
Why did he agree so readily?
Because he now remembered this major case that had shaken the entire country.
He hadn't remembered it before; after all, it was a memory from his previous life, and he hadn't paid much attention to it back then, only seeing it once in the news.
It was mainly because the incident had such a huge impact at the time; otherwise, he wouldn't have seen news about it in his previous life.
Now, with Wang Hailong calling to mention it, he finally remembered. Wasn't this the case of the drug-manufacturing village in Guangdong Province?
The entire village manufacturing drugs—the largest drug-making case uncovered since the founding of the People's Republic. In his previous life, it had shocked almost the entire world.
With such a heinous case, and now being a leader in the Criminal Investigation Bureau, he definitely had to root out this entire village as soon as possible.
After hanging up, Qin Chuan searched his memories. He didn't find much, but he knew one key piece of information: the entire village was manufacturing drugs, and the village seemed to be called Cai Family Village.
On his study's computer, Qin Chuan did a search and found that there were over a dozen places called Cai Family Village in Guangdong Province.
Qin Chuan didn't know which specific one it was. Because he had only seen news about it in his previous life and hadn't paid much attention, he really didn't know which city or county that Cai Family Village belonged to.
The next day, Qin Chuan and several others arrived in Guangdong Province, with Wei Xinglong among them.
