Chapter 3318
There were more than twenty people on Qu Deren's side who poured into the courtyard. They were at least twice as many as the other party, and they caught the other party off guard, which was considered a slight advantage.
But after all, they are just government agents, and the targets they usually arrest are mostly sneaky thieves, and they don't actually fight much. The ability of the policemen to fight in formation was still inferior to that of this group of ruthless bandits who were born in the army.
Within a few rounds of the battle, the opponent had already regained its initial decline, and several less skilled people on the police team had already been defeated. Fortunately, the policemen were outnumbered and swarmed to cover the injured comrades, and the other party had no time to hit the fallen man.
Qu Deren was one on three, but he was not at a disadvantage. An eyebrow-level stick slashed left and right, making the tiger angry, and the opponent's three waist knives couldn't get close to him.
But Qu Deren, who seemed to have the advantage, was secretly complaining. The three opponents had a tacit understanding. They tried to attack for a few rounds at first, but when they couldn't take advantage, they immediately switched to fighting mode. It was obvious that the three of them had to fight together. The force consumes his physical strength.
If Qu Deren were ten or twenty years younger, even if he were to fight three people at the same time, he would still be confident that he could knock them down one by one. However, time is not forgiving. With his current physical condition, he cannot compete with the opponent in terms of physical strength.
If the stalemate continues like this, he may not be able to sustain his physical strength for long, and his opponent may take advantage of him if he lags even slightly.
However, Qu Deren was experienced and realized that the battle situation was not good for him, so he immediately called for support: "Hurry up and help me capture the enemy!"
As soon as he roared out, three to five police officers quickly moved closer, and a net was spread out from the air to cover two of the gangsters.
When the two men moved to avoid the net, Qu Deren saw the opportunity and poked one of them on the waist with a stick, immediately knocking him to the ground.
Before the man could struggle to get up, several of the policemen's sticks hit him on the head, knocking him unconscious immediately.
As soon as the three men's siege formation was broken, Qu Deren suddenly felt that the pressure was much lessened. After using several big moves to force his opponent back, he quickly stepped back to take a few breaths, and temporarily pushed his men to the front.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the other party did not dare to fight anymore. Several people retreated to the back hall, apparently planning to take advantage of the chaos and sneak away.
However, Qu Deren had deployed manpower at the back door in advance. He was not worried about the other party's ability to retreat safely. Instead, he directed his men to besiege the gangsters in the yard and try to capture them all as soon as possible.
Under the command of Qu Deren, the police officers eventually turned their numerical advantage into victory and brought down the gangsters one by one.
By the time the battle was over, everyone here was panting, and few of them could stand up straight.
Qu Deren saw that almost all of his brothers were injured, and some of them seemed to be seriously injured, so he quickly sent someone to invite the Haihan Army from outside to enter. He knew that the Haihan Army had brought military doctors over, and the wounded were in need of timely treatment at this time.
Not long after, a group of Haihan troops came in to clean up the battlefield, and the officer leading the group, whom Qu Deren had seen before, was Shi Chengwu, son of Shi Diwen. After receiving the news, he rushed over to confirm the results of Qu Deren's actions.
"Qu catches the lead and takes the lead, it's really hard work!"
Seeing that Qu Deren was also injured, Shi Chengwu couldn't help but praise him. He originally thought that Qu Deren was just taking command, but he didn't expect that he actually ended up fighting the gangsters. It seemed that this head catcher was indeed quite capable.
Qu Deren clasped his fists and responded: "I haven't fought with anyone for a long time, so I will inevitably become rusty in martial arts and make adults laugh." Shi Chengwu said: "Actually, if we were to arrest you, it wouldn't be so troublesome, and you wouldn't be injured. ”
Qu Deren said: "Capturing the bandits is the job of a villain. There are some injuries, but nothing serious. Besides, if this job is not completed by the villain himself, wouldn't it be a betrayal of Dashuai Shi's trust?" < br>
Qu Deren's implicit intention was to use this to prove his ability and win Shi Diwen's trust.
Shi Chengwu nodded and said: "It seems that Qu Baotou really needs this job...I will report your performance truthfully when I get back."
Just as Qu Deren said, if he wants to work hard for Haihan, he must act like he is working hard for his life. This is also the purpose of Shi Chengwu coming here. If he had not personally led the team to fight the gangsters, but directly handed over the arrest task to the Haihan Army, then Shi Chengwu's impression of him would definitely be greatly reduced.
The results were quickly tallied up. The police captured a total of twelve gangsters in this yard, and all the gangsters who tried to slip out of the back door were blocked. Three of them died on the spot because they were too seriously injured in the fight just now.
Although all of the police officers were injured, fortunately none of them were fatal. After being bandaged and treated by military doctors on site, most of them were able to move around on their own. However, if there is another arrest operation like this in the short term, Qu Deren may have to form another team.
Qu Deren was stabbed on his left shoulder during the fight. Although it was just a skin injury, he could not lift his arm for the time being.
Hai Hanjun quickly found a batch of stolen goods from the house that had not yet been processed, and then found a suspicious piece of fresh floating soil in the backyard.
Shi Chengwu ordered tools to dig it open, and found that there were three bodies, one large and one small, buried inside. The weight of the case suddenly increased a bit.
There happened to be so many detectives present, and without much effort, they found out the identities of several corpses, which were the original owners of the house.
The matter was quickly clarified. This group of defeated soldiers took advantage of the chaos in Nanjing to commit many crimes in the city. One day when they visited this house, the owner wanted to resist, but was killed by them with a knife during the fight.
They thought this place was good, so they simply killed the owner's family of four and dug a hole in the backyard to bury them. Then he used this place as his base and began to search for targets nearby. The stolen goods they took to the pawn shop to exchange for money were all committed after arriving here.
After the Haihan Army took over Nanjing, this group of people knew that the situation was not good and were preparing to leave. When Qu Deren led his team to the door, the group was gathering for a break-up meal. They planned to dispose of the last batch of stolen goods and then leave the city disguised as civilians.
Most of the crimes they committed were before the Haihan Army entered the city, so they were not too afraid of being discovered. As long as they were not caught by the Haihan Army, their chances of escaping safely were very high.
Unexpectedly, Haihan found an expert like Qu Deren and found out their line with a casual search. It only took two days to track down the thief's den.
The so-called Skynet is vast and meticulous. This group of people committed many vicious crimes in the city, but in the end they suffered retribution and no one could escape.
Of course, Qu Deren should take the lead in being able to catch all these gangsters.
