Long Xiao called Lu Tianxing, explained the situation here to him, and said, "Director Lu, call the director of the Pingcheng Police Station and ask him where he is. I'll go find him."
After waiting for five or six minutes, Lu Tianxing called Long Xiao and told him that the director of the Pingcheng Police Station was attending a class reunion at the Yuhuangge Hotel.
Long Xiao drove to the Yuhuangge Hotel. After asking at the front desk, a waiter led him to a private room upstairs.
He pushed open the door, and the room was full of people. Several were in police uniforms. Long Xiao asked, "Who is Director Luan?"
A middle-aged man in his forties with a righteous face stood up, smiled at Long Xiao, and said, "Are you the one Director Lu said was looking for me?"
Long Xiao shook his head and said, "No, I'm his friend. Hello, my name is Ouyang Tuo."
"Why didn't he come?" Director Luan Zhengyu of the Pingcheng Police Station, losing his smile, asked.
"He had something to do and left. I'll handle the rest."
"What is it? Speak."
Everyone held their wine glasses and looked at Long Xiao. Many had expressions of displeasure, as if Long Xiao's arrival had interrupted their drinking.
"Director Luan, have five children gone missing in Pingcheng recently and haven't been found?"
Luan Zhengyu looked at Long Xiao in surprise. This matter had not been publicized, and very few people in Pingcheng knew about it.
Everyone in the room looked at Long Xiao. A middle-aged man in a police uniform looked at Long Xiao nervously. He walked up to Long Xiao and asked, "How do you know about the missing children?"
Long Xiao found the middle-aged police officer's nervousness strange and asked, "Is this case under your jurisdiction?"
Luan Zhengyu shook his head and said, "The case is not under him, but his son is missing."
Long Xiao smiled and said, "Don't worry, they're all fine."
The middle-aged police officer excitedly grabbed Long Xiao's hand and said, "You found them? Where are they?"
Long Xiao pulled his hand out and said, "Don't get excited. Let me tell you the whole story."
Long Xiao pulled over a chair and sat down, explaining everything to the police officers. Luan Zhengyu stood up and said, "Alright, our reunion is over early."
The middle-aged people at the reunion were all Luan Zhengyu's police academy classmates. They were all police officers, some from Pingcheng, some from Donghai, and some from other cities.
Hearing that Long Xiao had found the missing children, they were all interested in the matter and followed Long Xiao to the villa.
Long Xiao led a group of police officers into the villa. Soon, police sirens sounded on the street outside the villa, and a group of fully armed police officers arrived.
The four people in the living room and the children upstairs were taken away by the police. Long Xiao and Xiao Ming also gave their statements.
The police were about to set up a cordon and seal off the villa. Long Xiao hurried to find Luan Zhengyu and said, "Director Luan, just restore the villa to normal. Don't seal it off. People from the Longxing Association are coming tomorrow."
Luan Zhengyu nodded and said, "Okay, we'll catch them all tomorrow."
After the police officers gradually left, Long Xiao asked, "Director Luan, my nephew and I will stay here tonight to wait for the people from the Longxing Association."
"How many people do you need? I'll arrange it immediately."
Long Xiao shook his head and said, "No need. We two are enough. I'll notify you after we catch them."
Luan Zhengyu considered for a moment and said, "Let's leave some people here."
A total of five police officers were left, and the others left one after another. Luan Zhengyu and his classmates were the last to leave.
Half an hour later, the police officer who had lost his child returned. He told Long Xiao that he was the captain of the criminal investigation team, and it was his duty to apprehend criminals, so he had to be here.
The people from the Longxing Association arrived almost at noon. There were two cars, a BMW and a minivan, totaling four people.
As the two cars stopped at the entrance of the villa, the police officers who were ambushed around them surrounded them.
Seeing the approaching police officers, the four people in the cars were not in a hurry.
The young man driving the BMW smiled and said, "With just you, can you catch me?"
Long Xiao pushed open the iron gate of the villa and walked towards the two cars with a smile, saying, "Drive in, let's have a good talk."
The young man driving the car glanced at Long Xiao with disdain and said, "You're not qualified to talk to me."
Long Xiao suddenly accelerated his steps and punched the side door of the BMW with his left hand.
With a bang, not only was the car door severely deformed, but the engine hood in front was also severely twisted.
He waved his hand and punched again, with another loud noise. This punch hit the roof of the car, causing the roof to collapse completely, crushing the young man's head.
Xiao Ming took out his Xuan Tie cleaver and swung it wildly. With a crunching sound, he cut off the roof of the BMW and threw it to the side of the road.
"Come out, are you waiting for me to invite you?" Xiao Ming brandished his Xuan Tie cleaver, looking fierce, at the people in the car.
Everyone got out of the cars. Long Xiao walked to the minivan, stuck his head inside, and sniffed, saying, "You all go into the villa. I'll drive the car in."
"Mr. Ouyang, take them directly to the police station," the criminal investigation captain said.
Long Xiao shook his head and said, "I have something to ask them. After I'm done, they're yours."
The criminal investigation captain nodded and, along with his subordinates and Xiao Ming, escorted the four people into the main building of the villa.
Long Xiao drove the minivan into the yard, sat in the car without moving, and directly used 'Dragon Swallows the Four Seas' to absorb the life force from the herbs in the car.
Long Xiao went into the living room. The criminal investigation captain was interrogating the four people, but they remained tight-lipped and said nothing.
Long Xiao sat on the coffee table and smiled, saying, "You don't want to talk, do you? Do I need to do it?"
The short man who drove the BMW looked nervously at Long Xiao and said, "Kill us. I'll die if I speak, and I'll die if I don't. Dying at your hands will be quicker."
Long Xiao extended two fingers and waved them in front of the young man who drove the BMW, saying, "Look at my fingers. Do you know who I am?"
Long Xiao infused a faint earth element into his voice. The young man driving the BMW felt Long Xiao's voice becoming more and more distant and slowly closed his eyes.
"Big Brother, why are you here?" The young man suddenly opened his eyes and asked Long Xiao strangely.
Long Xiao smiled and said, "Why can't I be here? You changed locations without even informing me."
"Big Brother, you didn't find the house, do you remember?"
"Is that so? I didn't know. Tell me the specific location."
Soon, Long Xiao found out that these four people came from Zhaojiaji. They had a base there, and the leader of this base was Zhao Xingyue, who was responsible for this area. He had sent out five teams to collect blood samples in nearby cities.
Zhao Xingyue's main task was to collect blood samples. Where these blood samples were sent, these four people did not know.
The criminal investigation captain looked at the young man with a dazed expression and asked strangely, "Mr. Ouyang, do you know hypnosis?"
Long Xiao shook his head and said, "This is not hypnosis. Hypnosis originated from the soul-confusing technique in China, but what I used is slightly different from that."
