Special District 9

As soon as the young man rushed out, a woman behind him quickly grabbed his collar and pulled him back into the house, “Hurry up and shut the doors. Don’t stick your head into things that are none of your business.”

Qin Yu knew that the young man was the son of the female landlord.

Within the residence, the leader laughed heartily as he looked at Lin Nianlei provocative, “Did you see that? In this era, no one wants to get involved in the business of others. Did you think that someone will save you just by shouting for help? Dream on!”

Lin Nianlei backed all the way to the entrance of her house. With an indignant and wronged look on her face, she said, “Bro, the camera really isn’t with me. I have already submitted it. Please let me…”

The leader stepped forward and grabbed Lin Nianlei by her black hair, “Why does a young lady like you have a mouth filled with lies? Do you think I would come here if I’m not certain that the thing is on you?”

Lin Nianlei looked at the bumps and depressions all over the other party’s faces as she replied nervously. “The camera really is…”

Peng!

Losing all of his patience, the man grabbed Lin Nianlei’s head and smashed it onto the door handle forcefully, “Bitch, you are really testing the limits of my patience.”

Lin Nianlei didn’t expect the other party to suddenly make a move, such that she was stupefied by the abrupt blow.

“Dong Zi, drag her into the house. I’ll talk to her in another manner.”

“What do you plan to do?”

“Since you don’t appreciate the chances I have given you, I’ll have you spend this lonely winter night with me then!” the leader said.

The man on the left walked forward, grabbed Lin Nianlei, and kicked open the door into her house.

Huaji!

At the moment, the opposite door suddenly creaked open, and Qin Yu walked out. “What’s happened for you to go the extent of making things difficult for a young lady?”

Hearing those words, Lin Nianlei quickly raised her head, and delight flushed across her face when she saw that it was Qin Yu. She immediately shouted in agitation, “Save me!”

Qin Yu had a cold personality, and honestly speaking, he didn’t want to interfere in this matter if he didn’t have to. However, these men clearly weren’t going to let Lin Nianlei go easy. Furthermore, Lin Nianlei was bound to report this case, and given her background, it could lead to further complications later on.

“Who are you?” the leader bellowed coldly.

“I am a policeman, and I’m living right here too,” Qin Yu said as by his doorway. “It’s already getting late. If you have anything to say, you should leave it till tomorrow. Don’t cause a ruckus now.”

“You are a policeman?” the leader asked. “Who are you under?”

Qin Yu didn’t respond to the other party’s question directly, “Let’s not complicate matters. Just let her go.”

“You talk tough words over there,” the leader said with a frown. “This matter has nothing to do with you. Go back to your house!”

After that, the leader ignored Qin Yu and instead grabbed Lin Nianlei’s hand and asked menacingly, “Woman, I’m asking you for the last time. Are you going to hand it over to me?”

“Like I’ve said, the camera…”

Pah!

Before Lin Nianlei could finish her words, Qin Yu had already stepped forward to grab the leader’s arm, “Bro, don’t cause trouble in this residence.”

The leader turned his head over and glared at Qin Yu coldly, “I am Tiger from Dirt Street. If you don’t know me, give a call for your brothers in the Police Bureau and ask around!”

Qin Yu frowned upon hearing those words.

“Scram to the side!” Tiger replied as he tried to fling off Qin Yu’s arm impatiently.

However, Qin Yu’s hand continued holding onto Tiger’s arm tightly, as if a pair of unyielding claws, “Why are you so persistent?”

Peng!

Tiger turned around and punched Qin Yu’s chest, “Get a clue about your own standing! You are just a mere policeman!”

Qin Yu continued looking at Tiger nonchalantly, not replying at all.

Tiger smacked his palm on Qin Yu’s head as he said, “Why are you looking at me? Are you thinking of arresting me? Sure, give it a try then!”

Pah!

Qin Yu suddenly grabbed Tiger’s other hand as well before sweeping his right leg forward.

Gudong!

Tiger immediately fell to the ground.

“You said that you are Tiger? Are there any lions in Dirt Street then?” Qin Yu sneered as he kicked Tiger’s head thrice, causing the latter to roll down the stairs.

The other two subordinates that came here with Tiger immediately brandished their knives. Paying no heed to Qin Yu’s identity, they dashed forward to stab him.

Huala!

Qin Yu immediately took away the gun that Tiger was carrying with him, released the safety engagement notch, and pointed it at the subordinate on the right, shouting, “How dare you point a knife at a policeman? Do you think I dare not shoot you?”

“You braggart…”

Bang!

A gunshot rang.

“AH!”

Lin Nianlei crouched onto the floor while clutching her head in fear.

The bullet brushed past the subordinate’s cheeks, causing him to freeze on the spot.

“You said that I was bragging, aren’t you? What are you hiding for then?” Qin Yu replied coldly. “Stand firmly on the spot then. Let me drive a bullet right into your head.”

Those two subordinates didn’t dare to move at all. They weren’t certain anymore whether Qin Yu was faking it or he really was a madman. They didn’t dare to put their life on the line to give it a try.

On the ground, Tiger shook his head and said, “Damn it! Dong Zi, call our people!”

Peng peng peng!

Qin Yu smashed the butt of the gun on Tiger’s head for eight times as he said, “You think a gun won’t be enough to deal with the three of you? You can’t even stand properly now, but you still want to pick a fight with me?”

Tiger’s head was already bleeding at this point. He was stupefied by the current situation before him.

“Squat down!” Qin Yu pointed the gun at the other two as he shouted.

The two subordinates looked at one another before squatting on the ground with an awful look on their faces.

Qin Yu’s mind quickly whirred into action before he turned to Lin Nianlei and said, “Go to my house and get me my phone.”

However, Lin Nianlei remained crouched on the floor. She didn’t dare to raise her head at all.

Peng.

Qin Yu kicked her lightly and said, “Why the heck did you act so brave when you can’t even clean up your own mess? Hurry up and get my phone. It’s by my bed.”

Lin Nianlei quickly regained her senses. She immediately ran into Qin Yu’s house, grabbed his phone, and came back.

Holding the gun with his left hand, he took the phone with the other and dialed Zhu Wei’s number. “I caught three suspects. Drive a car over to meet me.”

Hearing those words, Tiger, still lying on the ground, widened his eyes and asked, “You bastard, you are serious about this?”

Qin Yu immediately raised his gun and made it look as if he would smash it down on Tiger’s head again.

Tiger immediately cowered in response to that action, not daring to speak up anymore. He could only grit his teeth and wait for the personnel from the Police Bureau to arrive.

…

Qin Yu walked over to Lin Nianlei’s side and asked quietly, “Sis, why do you keep getting into trouble? Why are they looking for you?”

“I… I snapped some shots on them,” Lin Nianlei blinked her eyes as she replied. “It’s my job.”

“What did you snap?”

“They drove up the price of medicine in the slums and secretly sold smuggled medicine. I got some pictures on that,” Lin Nianlei replied honestly after a moment of contemplation.

Hearing those words, Qin Yu’s heart skipped a beat. “They are selling smuggled medicine too?”

“Un. I have followed them for a few days now. I got caught once before, and they snatched my camera away,” Lin Nianlei replied with a nod. “This bunch of people is inhuman. While you are cracking down on smuggled medicine, they took advantage of the situation to raise the prices of medicine. Those in the slums barely have any money to buy medicine at all, so they forced them to sell their organs to pay up… They are cannibals who feast on human flesh!”

Qin Yu fell into deep thoughts.

…

Half an hour later, Zhu Wei from the Police Bureau arrived. Upon seeing Tiger, his eyes widened his shock, “Brother Tiger, what are you doing here!”

“Little Zhu Wei?” Upon seeing a familiar face, Tiger immediately rose back to his feet and regained his previous bravado. “I’ll make a call.”

Qin Yu glanced at Zhu Wei and asked, “You two know each other?”

“Why the hell did you catch him? He’s Platoon Commander Yuan’s friend!” Zhu Wei exclaimed with a suppressed voice.
