The purpose of this operation is not to catch "Uncle" yet, but to first probe the real and potential situation of him and his entire gang.
Of course, this is mainly because they still know nothing about the situation of the big boss behind the scenes. If capturing "Uncle" makes a commotion and alerts him, it's very likely he will flee in advance.
And generally, once the leader of this kind of gang escapes, it's hard to catch them again.
So Zhao Donglai and his team's opinion is not to act rashly without understanding the contact between the opposing side and "Uncle".
But even without arresting, they will definitely have to set up some surveillance around the meeting place.
Because sometimes, just doing this can yield a lot of useful clues.
For example, which direction the suspect came from, what vehicle they took, who they were with, and which direction they left in...
Then by tracing his actions, they can find out some information.
