Looking at the familiar packaging in front of him, Ruiz guessed what these were, but he didn't touch them directly. Instead, he turned and extended his hand to Jimmy: "Give me the gloves."

Jimmy took disposable gloves out of his pocket and handed them to Ruiz. He always carried these with him, whether he was on a case or just going out, they were handy and didn't take up space, very convenient.

Ruiz picked up a piece and examined it in his hand, then looked at Shi Qi: "Are you sure?"

Shi Qi: "Yes, this clue was given to me by an old acquaintance. Because I couldn't guarantee its accuracy at the time, I didn't report it."

Ruiz: "How much is in total? Are these all?"

Shi Qi: "Yes, but it's not all this, the box next to it is more troublesome."

He reached out and lifted a green box next to it, the same packaging, but a small cut was made on top with a knife. Ruiz picked it up and took a look, his face changed drastically: "Is this whole box? Are they crazy? What do they intend to do with so much C4?"

Shi Qi: "I don't know about that, two kilograms, enough to cause a big commotion."

Ruiz put the piece of C4 back, patted his hands, and took off the gloves, "Who else knows about this? Do you know their destination?"

Shi Qi shook his head: "The ones who took action were two former brothers, they are very reliable, no problem."

Ruiz reached out and pulled the sheet back over, "Let's go upstairs."

While leaving the basement, Ruiz asked: "How much is here in total?"

Shi Qi: "Fifteen kilograms of drugs, two kilograms of C4, there's a problem with this transportation channel, generally they don't mix shipments, the possibility of something going wrong is very high. Even if they wanted to transport different things, they would use separate channels."

Ruiz: "The box looks pretty big, what's underneath?"

Shi Qi: "Food, they mixed it in with food packaging boxes to bring it over, the outer box was something we found temporarily to pack it."

Arriving in the living room, Ruiz looked at Jimmy: "Jimmy, anything you want to say?"

Jimmy pointed his right index finger at the two of them, "I only have one question, whose business is this this time?"

Ruiz: "For the time being, it's still with us."

Jimmy: "So it won't involve the department?"

Ruiz: "It's just possible."

Jimmy: "OK, continue."

Ruiz has put Jimmy in a tough spot, now that he's here and has seen the things in the basement, could Jimmy just walk away? He inevitably has to continue, as for what this matter will become afterward, that depends on what God has arranged.

But Jimmy is not worried, he's done dirty work himself before, now it's just seeing what others do, and it's Ruiz, who he has a good relationship with. He will take a look first, as long as it doesn't endanger him, he can help a bit.

Ruiz nodded, he looked at Shi Qi, "We should have a little time, tell me, what's the situation?"

Shi Qi gestured to the couch, the three of them sat down, Shi Qi said: "Three days ago, an old informant contacted me, wanting to sell information to me.

He's always been in Houston, Texas, and didn't know I'd returned to the department, he thought I was still working with the gang.

The reason he contacted me was that he wanted a cut, so the information he provided was fairly clear, but such a large shipment sounded unrealistic. I didn't gather our department's people to take action, but instead, I had friends from before help investigate and track.

Last night, the transport truck in the intel basically appeared at the destination on time, a truck disguised as a postal vehicle. I checked the system for that truck, confirmed it had a fake license plate, and once the target was confirmed, my friend intercepted them, both drivers were caught, and this is the haul."

But I always feel there's a problem here, someone wants to set me up, I suspect that informant, but I currently have no evidence."

Ruiz: "Whose goods are they, and where is the source?"

Shi Qi: "It's Crippled Todd's goods. They were supposed to reach him today, but now he won't get them."

Ruiz: "Who is the sender?"

Shi Qi: "Unknown for now, the two drivers only said they were responsible for transport and didn't know anything else, they didn't say anything."

Ruiz: "Get them to talk, find out what's going on, so much cargo entering New York, what are they trying to do?"

Shi Qi nodded: "They are at another house, my guys are watching them. Shall we go there now?"

Ruiz: "You go, don't expose your identity, we'll wait for you here, you have the whole morning."

Shi Qi: "OK."

Shi Qi got up and walked towards the bedroom, undressing as he went, soon he reemerged from the bedroom looking once again like someone who mixed with gangs, he nodded to Ruiz and Jimmy, and left the house.

Jimmy looked around, confirming that only he and Ruiz were left before asking: "Is this Seventeen's side business? Is he involved in drug trafficking?"

Ruiz shook his head: "He used to only be involved in smuggling luxury goods, those ordinary gang businesses, after returning to the department he stopped doing those things, but he would absolutely not touch drugs."

Jimmy nodded: "You know, what I despise most are those drug dealers."

Ruiz: "This seems to be an accident, no one expected such a large batch of goods, whoever it is, the loss this time is enough to make them hurt."

Jimmy: "Not really that much, a kilogram goes for tens of thousands of dollars, this batch is worth only a couple of million at most, to them, it shouldn't be a big problem, but with the channel issue, those behind might come to investigate. Have you thought about how to handle this batch?"
