Don’t panic if you get scammed, give him a Desert Eagle instead.

He poked the screen of his phone with all his strength and sent another text message: "Okay, you tell me the time and place, I want to see if you have the courage to come and get it!"

Even at this time, he did not forget his duties and tried to use provocation to lure Jiangchuan out.

Jiang Chuan's reply came quickly: "??? Didn't you check my account?"

This message immediately made everyone furious. Before the director had time to lose his temper, Liu Zhijun had already jumped up and roared angrily.

"How ridiculous! This bastard knows we are from the Ministry of Justice and yet he dares to be so arrogant!"

At this moment, a majestic roar interrupted Liu Zhijun's rage.

The director regained his composure within a second. "Anger and other emotions are of no help in solving the case."

He calmly turned off his phone screen and said calmly: "On the contrary, they will make us blind, lose our rationality and even be led by criminals by the nose."

"Captain Liu," the director looked at Liu Zhijun in reproach, "You are already the captain. You need to change your panic-stricken personality."

"Okay, Director." Liu Zhijun sat down with a shameful look on his face. He secretly glanced at the director's calm face and felt deep admiration in his heart.

The director is really unusual. He was furious just now, but he calmed down in the blink of an eye. His ability to control emotions is truly admirable.

"Jia Jia." The director turned to Xu Jia Jia who was standing beside him, "Please analyze Jiang Chuan's text message carefully later, and combine it with the previous conversation content to see if there are any clues that we have missed."

"Jiang Chuan doesn't seem to be afraid of us from the Criminal Division and is willing to communicate with us, so his words may be more casual and may reveal key information."

The director spoke calmly and handed the phone to Xu Jiajia.

Whenever Xu Jiajia saw the director's eyes that revealed that everything was under control, she felt more confident and powerful!
Although the director was previously criticizing Liu Zhijun, Xu Jiajia realized that those words also applied to herself.

Indeed, I was too impulsive before.

No matter how unfathomable Jiang Chuan is and how he doesn't play by the rules, he is still a human being after all.

As long as one is a human being, he or she has weaknesses, specific behavioral patterns and thinking logic!

But I was too emotional before, and as the director said, I was led by the other party.

Must stay calm!

Xu Jiajia warned herself in her heart.

Suddenly, an idea flashed in her mind: "Director, I think Jiang Chuan..."

"He doesn't seem to think he's committing a crime!"

Xu Jiajia is worthy of being the goddess of wisdom. After calming down, she hit the nail on the head and revealed the essence of the problem.

Jiang Chuan is not arrogant, but...

He really had committed no crime!
His factory is legal and compliant, has complete certificates and is a formally operated private enterprise!

Of course, his behavior of mailing the pistol to the fraudster is questionable. However, as a person who legally produces and sells weapons, this act is illegal lending of weapons and has not caused serious consequences.

The laws of the Dashang Kingdom have clear provisions on this, and violators will be fined five thousand!
Moreover, Jiangchuan has never sold weapons to any individual within the territory of Dashang.

It's just that he mistook the fishing plan of the Ministry of Justice for a real transaction, and thus made a profit from the Ministry of Justice...

In other words, Jiangchuan, as a supplier with complete certificates and licenses, sells weapons to another unit with complete certificates and licenses, which is completely in compliance with the laws of the Dashang Kingdom!

It’s a pity that the Ministry of Justice has not yet realized this because they have not paid the balance and have not received the invoice issued by Jiang Chuan, otherwise they would immediately understand that this is just a misunderstanding.

……

Since the chief has not received the invoice yet, he and everyone in the Criminal Division mistakenly believe that Jiang Chuan is an extremely dangerous illegal weapons dealer.

They are determined to bring him to justice before they can rest in peace!

As for Xu Jiajia's point that Jiang Chuan doesn't think he committed a crime...

"That only shows that there are serious problems with his values," the director said calmly.

"Yeah." Xu Jiajia lowered her head in shame, realizing that she was still not calm enough. How could she bring up an unverified conjecture at a meeting? Wouldn't it be terrible if she misled her colleagues and caused a misjudgment?
She is determined to follow the director's example!

She warned herself mentally while pressing the power button on her phone.

However, the phone did not respond.

"Director," she looked up in confusion, "this phone..."

"Oh," the director remained calm, "you can ask a colleague from the technical department to help fix it later. I accidentally crushed it just now."

Xu Jiajia was speechless.

"Okay, everyone." The director waved his hand to attract everyone's attention.

"The question now is, what should we do next?" he asked calmly.

"Our cover has been blown, and we can no longer capture him through deception."

“It took a long time for colleagues in the technical department to locate him because he was outside the country.”

"Or we could apply to use military satellites for positioning, but this is expensive and time-consuming, and is also sensitive."

“Because we may need to conduct facial comparisons with tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of people overseas!”

"Besides, it would be absurd for our Criminal Division to apply for the use of military satellites in order to capture a criminal. It would also make our superiors question our capabilities."

“So let our colleagues in the technical department continue to locate his number, and we will look for other ways.” The director set the tone for the next action.

"Director," Wang Quan reported, "I have arranged for someone to contact Kun Shun, hoping that he can assist us in locating and arresting Jiang Chuan."

"We shouldn't hold out too much hope in this regard. Although we don't know exactly what happened, it's clear that Kunshun needs Jiangchuan's help now, and the official position of Shenglan Country has also become unclear."

The director shook his head. He had already learned about Kunshun’s post and the official likes of Shenglan Country.

To be honest, he also found this series of operations puzzling, but as a director he knew how to prioritize.

The key at present is to find out Jiang Chuan's whereabouts and try to complete the capture mission, rather than delving into the reasons.

"In addition," Liu Zhijun took a deep breath and said, "I have also sent people to Jiang Chuan's hometown to investigate his parents. After confirming that they are not involved in this matter, we may be able to contact Jiang Chuan through them."

Everyone present nodded silently, expressing their understanding. Although the chances of success were high if Jiang Chuan was lured back to China by claiming his parents were sick or in an emergency, this method was tantamount to asking parents to sell out their children, which was too cruel for them.

This behavior may leave permanent scars in Jiangchuan's parents' hearts and make them feel guilty for the rest of their lives.

Emotionally, this is difficult to accept. From a rational perspective, we at the Criminal Division are unwilling to take such measures.

Because, even if a person is an unforgivable criminal, if he can take the risk to go home when he learns that his parents are sick, it means that he still has humanity, concern, and kindness.

this point is very important.

"So, keeping in touch with Jiang Chuan might be the safest method," Wang Quan said. "I think as long as we can keep communicating with him, we can get more clues and understand his whereabouts."

"We can even try to negotiate with him whether he is willing to make a second transaction. But this requires a prerequisite." "What condition?" Liu Zhijun asked curiously.

"Well," Wang Quan said hesitantly, looking embarrassed, "that means we need to pay the balance."

He finished quickly: "If we don't pay, he might think we are in breach of contract and cut off contact with us. In that case, let alone continue the transaction or contact, he might even change his contact method."

"My God!"

Everyone groaned, and their expressions looked quite helpless.

Even Xu Jiajia felt as if she had been hit invisibly.

I have already lost hundreds of thousands of gold coins, and now there is still hundreds of thousands of balance to be paid!
This is such a headache!

There is a reason why Liu Zhijun and others feel so frustrated.

In order to trap Jiang Chuan, they pretended to be the so-called "Sister Yan" and made deals with Jiang Chuan.

The cost of arms trading itself is not low, and trading with criminals, even for the purpose of entrapment, would not sound good if it were known.

Therefore, Liu Zhijun and others did not apply for funds from their superiors, but chose crowdfunding.

Among them, Xu Jiajia also contributed.

Members of the Criminal Division of the Great Shang State mainly rely on fixed salaries and bonuses for solving cases.

As for other extra income, even if there is any, no one dares to take it because it is illegal, and everyone is very clear about this.

So, although they are not poor, they do not have much savings.

Before, everyone was willing to raise funds through crowdfunding because they thought it would be easy to arrest a young man.

So they took out their savings, including money for buying a house and living expenses.

I thought I could catch the criminal red-handed and get the money back.

Unexpectedly, now the money can’t be recovered, and some people’s living expenses for next month have become a problem!

Now you are even proposing to pay the balance?

Do we need to raise funds to pay for this?
"Where can we get the money to pay the balance?"

"If it doesn't work, let's return it!"

"Yes, didn't Consultant Xu say that Jiang Chuan wanted to do business in a formal way? In a formal business, goods can be returned!"

The director also felt helpless.

He disagreed with the crowdfunding and entrapment scheme in the name of trading from the beginning.

Because this kind of transaction usually requires payment before delivery, what if the other party receives the deposit but does not ship the goods?
The news that Kunshun was defrauded of 300 million gold coins has become a laughing stock around the world.

If the Ministry of Justice was also defrauded, even if the amount was much smaller, the sensation it caused would not necessarily be smaller than that of Kunshun!

However, the director also knew that the problem had to be addressed now.

"Okay, everyone, calm down."

The director waved his hand and said, "I will apply to my superiors for funds to fill the gap in the transaction fees that everyone paid in advance."

"There's no need to discuss returns any further!"

He glanced at everyone sternly: "Those weapons are evidence, they are murder weapons, and they are tools that may harm innocent people!"

"Now that it's in our hands, how can we return it to him and let him sell it to someone else?"

"Besides," he continued, "even if we wanted to return them, we can't do so now. The weapons have been taken by the military. They want to test them and perhaps determine their origin and place of production from a technical and technological perspective."

The director looked at everyone with dignity and said, "Now we need to pool our wisdom and work together to come up with a feasible plan."

"I believe the test results from the military will come out soon, and there may be new clues."

……

The director's prediction was accurate. While the discussion in the meeting room of the Criminal Division was in full swing, the members of the Forest Eagle Special Operations Team were already on high alert at the military shooting range.

"I'm sure everyone is clear about the content of the mission!"

Captain Eagle King's voice echoed over the shooting range: "Everyone here is a weapons expert, and has experience with all kinds of weapons!"

"More importantly, we can understand the difference between weapons and original products from the basic feel of the weapons, and we are familiar with all kinds of imitation weapons. The weapons experts in the military region cannot do this!"

"Therefore, our superiors gave us the task of testing this batch of weapons!"

He gestured towards the two arms boxes next to him, which were filled with various weapons that the Ministry of Justice had obtained from Jiang Chuan.

"Okay, now the testing phase begins!"

He first picked up an AK rifle from the box and handed it to Gray Eagle: "Gray Eagle, as an assaulter, you have the most say in this type of weapon, so you should start first."

Gray Eagle took the rifle and looked at it carefully: "This is a derivative rifle of the AK-100 series. It looks like an AK-203 and uses 7.62 caliber bullets."

He touched the rifling gently: "This rifling is as good as new, without any wear or brazing. It is obviously a brand new rifle."

With a "clack" sound, he pulled the bolt and felt how smoothly it slid. "The smoothness of this bolt is quite good, and the craftsmanship should be very precise. It may be a product of a large manufacturer."

"But one thing is certain, this is not an original product."

Captain Eagle King also agreed with this, he understood this.

This is a standard equipment of a certain country and is still in service. Countries rarely allow this type of equipment to enter the market, and usually sell outdated or simplified versions.

This is routine in the weapons industry, and the Forest Eagle Squadron only has the opportunity to use it when conducting military exchanges with that country.

"Let me test fire two rounds." Gray Eagle turned on the safety and inserted the magazine.

"Be careful, don't let this broken gun explode!" warned the Wasteland Eagle.

In his opinion, non-original weapons sold by an arms dealer always seem unreliable.

Maybe it was made by hand in some underground workshop using simple tools.

The power of a rifle barrel explosion should not be underestimated. At the very least, you will be scratched by shrapnel, and at worst, you may be seriously injured by flying fragments.

"Don't worry, it won't happen." Gray Eagle responded with a smile, appearing very confident.

With his years of experience, he knew as soon as he picked up the rifle that it would not have problems such as exploding.

Now the key is to see the trajectory and other parameters after shooting.

With a "clack", he skillfully loaded the bullets. Seeing this, Wasteland Eagle's heartbeat quickened a bit, but before he could react, a deafening gunshot rang out on the shooting range. (End of this chapter)
