Chapter 679 Suppression of Remnants
The interrogation continued into the afternoon, and Miyamoto Musashi finally confessed to all the clues.
Sandy compiled the complete interrogation statement, had Miyamoto Musashi sign it for confirmation, and then took him back to the temporary detention cell for strict guarding.
Ye Haoxuan remained calm and spoke firmly:
"Immediately arrange for personnel to verify the list of remaining criminals and smuggling locations based on Miyamoto Musashi's confession and the clues we've found; I will personally lead a team to carry out a purge operation against the remaining criminals. In addition, simultaneously compile all evidence and interrogation testimonies, and report them to the police station's senior management as soon as possible to expedite the transfer and trial of the case."
"Understood! Haoxuan, don't worry, I will arrange everything properly, do a good job in logistics and evidence organization, and there will be no mistakes."
Sandy quickly agreed, knowing that Ye Haoxuan always took the lead and that now that the case was at a critical juncture, he would definitely lead the team himself.
After giving his instructions, Ye Haoxuan immediately went to the equipment room to organize the weapons and equipment. He then convened an emergency deployment meeting with the action team and officers from each group.
In the conference room, Ye Haoxuan stood in front of the projection screen, comparing the list of remnants and secret strongholds confessed by Miyamoto Musashi with the smuggling network list and search records compiled by the technical department, and then began to deploy his plan:
"Attention all groups, this operation must be precise and efficient, and proceed strictly according to the established route. I will personally lead Group 1, responsible for clearing out key strongholds in the North and West districts; Captain Li will lead Group 2, responsible for apprehending the remaining criminals in the South and East districts; each group will be equipped with two snipers and four officers, providing mutual cover and close cooperation."
He paused, then emphasized: "When encountering any remaining resistance fighters, issue a warning first. If the warning is ineffective, take decisive coercive measures, but try to keep them alive to uncover more potential clues. For those who surrender voluntarily, register and interrogate them, verify their identities, and immediately take them back to the police station. Everyone must act with caution, prioritize their own safety, and never let go of any remaining fighters or any clues."
"Understood! Inspector Ye!" The officers from each group responded in unison, their eyes firm and their morale high. With Ye Haoxuan personally leading the team, they felt even more confident. In previous operations, it was precisely because of Ye Haoxuan's decisive command that they were able to win every battle and break through the encirclement with zero casualties.
After the deployment was completed, Ye Haoxuan led a group of police officers, who prepared their weapons and equipment, boarded the police van, and sped off towards the North District of Hong Kong Island, officially launching the operation to eliminate the remaining criminals.
Meanwhile, officers from the technical department were racing against time to perfect the chain of evidence.
They meticulously registered, weighed, photographed, and archived the drugs and weapons seized from Miyamoto Musashi's hideout. They also compared and verified the core contact records, smuggling lists, and interrogation confessions with the contents of previously found USB drives, encrypted mobile phone information, and raid records to ensure that every piece of evidence was authentic, valid, and mutually corroborative, forming a complete chain of evidence to provide solid support for the subsequent court trial.
As planned, Captain Li led two groups of officers to the South and East districts to carry out a crackdown operation. He was also responsible for liaising with senior police officers and the legal department, reporting the progress of the case, the evidence obtained, and the list of suspects arrested, and gradually advancing the case transfer process.
He also specifically arranged for personnel to contact police forces in Southeast Asian countries, providing them with relevant clues about the Black Blade Group's smuggling network, assisting local police in dismantling the Black Blade Group's secret smuggling bases in Southeast Asia, arresting relevant smugglers, and completely severing the Black Blade Group's cross-border smuggling chain.
Ye Haoxuan's team was the first to arrive at the warehouse in the North District of Hong Kong Island—the first hiding place of the remnants that Miyamoto Musashi confessed to. He signaled the officers to lie in wait, while he quietly sneaked into the vicinity of the warehouse, carefully observing its layout and security. After confirming that there were three remnants of the Black Blade Group inside and that there were no other ambushes, he immediately issued the order to move in.
"Action!" Ye Haoxuan shouted, rushing out first. His movements were as swift as a cheetah, and his sidearm was precisely aimed at the guards at the warehouse entrance.
The officers followed closely behind, providing cover for each other, and quickly rushed into the warehouse.
Caught off guard, the three remaining thugs in the warehouse tried to draw their guns to fight back, but Ye Haoxuan and the police officers held them firmly in place, leaving them no room to resist.
"Don't move! Police!" Ye Haoxuan said coldly, pressing a gun against the back of one of the remaining thugs and shouting in a deep voice.
The three remaining thugs trembled with fear, dropping their weapons to the ground, their former arrogance completely gone.
The officers immediately stepped forward, handcuffed the three remaining accomplices, and thoroughly searched the warehouse.
Soon, they seized a batch of drugs and weapons that had not yet been transported, registered and photographed them, and then properly sealed them.
Ye Haoxuan walked up to one of the remaining members, stared at him sharply, and asked in a deep voice:
"Tell me honestly, are there any other hidden remnants or strongholds? Did Miyamoto Musashi leave you any other instructions?"
The remaining comrade was terrified and quickly confessed the truth:
"Inspector Ye, I confess, there's another hideout, hidden in an alley in the West District. There are two remaining smugglers there, responsible for guarding a batch of smuggled goods. That's all I know!"
“Very good,” Ye Haoxuan nodded, signaling the officers to take the three remaining accomplices back to the police station, while speaking into the walkie-talkie:
"Attention, all groups. This is Ye Haoxuan. We have successfully captured three remaining members of the North District warehouse and seized a batch of drugs and weapons. According to their confessions, there is another hidden stronghold in the alley of the West District, guarded by two remaining members. One remaining group, follow me to the West District. The rest of the groups, speed up the clearing operation. Report any developments immediately!"
"Understood! Inspector Ye!" came the responses from the officers in each group over the walkie-talkie.
Without pausing, Ye Haoxuan led the remaining police officers to the alley in the western district.
Throughout the operation, he constantly used the walkie-talkie to stay informed about the progress of other teams' operations, adjusting deployments as needed to ensure the orderly progress of the operation. Sandy also sent him messages from time to time, informing him about the evidence gathering and coordination with the police station, so he didn't need to worry about things back home.
Upon arriving at the alley in the western district, Ye Haoxuan once again scouted the terrain first, discovering that the stronghold was hidden deep in an abandoned house in the alley, with a remnant of the gang guarding the door, but not very vigilant.
He signaled the sniper to take cover, then quietly circled around to the side of the house. Taking advantage of the guard's inattention, he quickly stepped forward, covered the guard's mouth, and subdued him without making a sound.
Police officers followed closely behind, stormed into the house, successfully subdued another remaining member of the gang, seized a batch of smuggled goods on the spot, and successfully destroyed this secret hideout.
The entire process was clean and efficient, without any unexpected incidents or injuries to any police officers.
In Ye Haoxuan's mind, scenes from the case's progress kept flashing by—the raid on the Tsim Sha Tsui stronghold, the fierce battle in the Mong Kok internet cafe, the ambush at the pier, the capture of Miyamoto Musashi...
The images of the police officers who sacrificed their lives and the innocent civilians who were harmed by the Black Blade Group are all clearly visible.
He had only one thought in his mind: to finish all the remaining work as soon as possible, completely destroy the Black Blade Group's smuggling network, bring all the criminals to justice, console the fallen brothers, and restore true peace to Hong Kong.
