The water manhunt had finally paid off—they'd actually nabbed the guy who delivered vegetables to the camp, Boss Qian!
Even though the "theft" Boss Qian was suspected of was clearly open to dispute, he really was a fugitive wanted by the East Sea Police.
Everything had to follow procedure: first "secure" Boss Qian, then, while reporting to the Water Police Station, get in touch with the East Sea colleagues who had put out the warrant for him.
Wang Wenhong received a call from Zhao Hongxing and laughed, "Whether he's actually a thief, our East Sea colleagues will verify that. But for now he's definitely a wanted fugitive. For us that still counts as a result—at least we can write in the report that we apprehended one fugitive at large."
Someone had actually shown up on his own asking them to check whether he was a fugitive—and the truly eye‑opening part was, he really turned out to be one!
