Chapter 4: The Smuggler

After weeks of surveillance and investigation, Pux finally receives a tip that leads him to the whereabouts of Jack Smith. Pux and his team quickly move in and arrest Smith, bringing him in for questioning. At first, Smith denies any involvement in the theft, but Pux is not one to be easily fooled. He shows Smith the surveillance footage and tells him that he knows he's the man on the tape.

Pux starts to question Smith about the missing container and its contents. Smith, however, is tight-lipped and maintains his innocence, claiming that he had no idea what was inside the container. Pux doesn't believe him, but he knows that he needs more evidence to make an arrest. He decides to gather more evidence before he brings Smith to trial.

Pux starts to investigate Smith's background and criminal activity. He interviews other law enforcement officials who had dealt with Smith in the past, and found out that Smith had a history of smuggling illegal goods. Pux also talked to the dock workers who had loaded the container on the ship and showed them the footage of the masked men loading the container, but none of them recognized the men in the footage.

Pux also decided to keep a close watch on Smith's known associates and haunts in the hope that he would turn up. He also put a tail on Smith's known associates and acquaintances, hoping that one of them would lead him to Smith. Pux knew that he had to catch Smith quickly before he had a chance to sell or dispose of the stolen goods.

As Pux continues his investigation, he starts to build a case against Smith. He gathers evidence, interviews witnesses, and makes a list of the charges he will bring against Smith. Pux knows that this will be a difficult case to win, as Smith is a skilled criminal with a team of lawyers at his disposal. But Pux is determined to see justice done, no matter what the cost.

Finally, Pux receives a break in the case. One of Smith's associates, who was also under surveillance, was caught with some of the stolen goods in his possession. Pux quickly moves in and arrests the associate and confiscates the stolen goods. This was the evidence he needed to charge Smith with theft and smuggling.
