Ding Yang said with some doubt: "But if we leave now, wouldn't it be a bit bad? After all, you are all sure that this must be the place where the gang leader escaped. What if he suddenly appears after we leave? Wouldn't we miss him?"
Li Hua stood up and said, "I understand what Ji Wen means. I also think that if the gang leader wants to leave here, even if he can leave the checkpoint, it will be very difficult for him to completely leave this area. There must be someone here to pick him up, or he has already prepared tools for escape. If we can find these, it will be no different from directly catching the gang leader. It's the same as waiting for the rabbit to come, but we just changed the place."
I have said before that if Li Hua's character was not so bad, he and I would definitely be the best partners, because talking to smart people is always so easy and I don't need to explain anything.
Ding Yang said helplessly: "Well, you guys can go, Pan An and I will stay here to continue guarding. If anything goes wrong, we will contact you immediately."
After agreeing on this, we drove to leave the checkpoint and go take a look outside. Our team still took Xiao Dai's taxi, while Li Hua drove himself. But when we just walked out of the checkpoint, I suddenly found that in an inconspicuous corner outside the checkpoint, there was a black car parked there, with the doors and windows closed, and I couldn't see what was going on inside at all.
At this time, there were many police cars parked outside the checkpoint. This black sedan was very eye-catching among the police cars. I immediately asked Xiao Dai to stop the car and then asked the special police standing guard nearby what was going on with this car.
One of the special police officers told me that the car was parked here this morning and there has been no movement since then. Since the car passed the checkpoint, he did not pay any attention to it.
Hearing this, I immediately became alert and walked to the black car with Bai Longfei. I looked inside through the window and found that there was someone playing with a cell phone inside the car!
This car has been parked there since morning without moving, and the person inside has also been staying in the car. Coupled with the special nature of the East City Checkpoint at this time, this person immediately aroused my strong suspicion!
I winked at Bai Longfei, and he understood what I meant. He immediately knocked on the car window with his hand, and the window opened. Then I could see clearly that the person playing with his mobile phone was a man in his twenties or thirties.
The man yawned and asked if we had anything to do. I asked him what he was doing here. He said he was an office worker and drove here to rest today in order to skip work. He would go back to sign in when he finished work at six o'clock, so it wouldn't take too long.
Whether from the expression or the motives stated by this man, his reasons seem to be impeccable, but I don’t think so. I will leave with Bai Longfei temporarily, and then ask the special police standing guard at the door to tell Ding Yang and others to keep an eye on this car at all times. If there is any movement of this car, it will be detained immediately on the spot.
After finding out about the black sedan, we continued to move forward along the road ahead. There are many mountains here, with twists and turns, and most of the roads are paved. There is flat concrete ground in the first half, but the ground conditions become worse as we go further back. In the end, the road is completely covered with gravel. If we continue to drive forward rashly, an accident may easily happen.
The vehicle could not move forward, so we all got out. Although it was almost dusk, the scenery here was still incomparably beautiful. Especially at this time we were standing on a high place, breathing the fresh air, our tense nerves were briefly relieved.
Li Hua kept looking around. After looking for a long time, he said, "The roads here are indeed not suitable for driving, but they are very suitable for hiding. If the gang leader escapes from the checkpoint and escapes here, it will be very difficult to find him."
I nodded gently. The mountains here are high and the trees are many. It is indeed easy to hide a person. But I know that the purpose of the gang leader after coming out is definitely not to hide, but to leave here, or even leave our country. So I said, "It seems that the only way for the gang leader to escape is by plane. But does our country have private planes?"
Li Hua looked at me with disdain and said, "There are so many private jets, it's no secret now. But you're right. If we want to leave this place as soon as possible, we can only rely on airplanes for transportation. But there are no traces of airplanes around here. Could it be that we are wrong? The gang leader has no intention of leaving here at all?"
As Li Hua was speaking, the phone in my pocket suddenly rang. I took it out and saw that it was Bai Qi calling. I thought he had something else to tell me, so I answered the phone and asked.
But who knew that as soon as the call was connected, Bai Qi said directly: "Something's going on! You guys should be on alert immediately!"
It was very quiet here, and everyone could hear the voice on the phone. I immediately asked, "What's going on? Did something happen again?"
"I'm not too sure about this, but our people said that two helicopters are flying towards Dengfeng City. Judging from the direction of the two planes, one should be heading to the west of the city, and the other is heading to the east! This is obviously another attempt to distract our attention and prepare for a feint to the east and attack in the west! I'm here in the west of the city, so you don't have to worry about it. The east of the city depends on you. I've sent people to reinforce, and they will probably arrive soon. Instruct the checkpoint in the east of the city that from now on, no one is allowed to pass! No matter who it is!"
We had just been talking about the plane, but unexpectedly a plane really came over, and I immediately asked, "Uncle Bai, do you know the origin of the plane?"
"It was the private helicopter of the chairman of a company in the imperial capital. After we found out, we immediately investigated the chairman of that company and found that he had been knocked unconscious and tied up in the office. Someone must have sneaked in and threatened the chairman to agree to send a plane to Dengfeng City! We have contacted the Air Force, and they should send a plane to reinforce soon. In short, from now on, not even a fly is allowed to fly out of the checkpoint!"
After Bai Qi finished speaking, he hung up the phone. I immediately called Ding Yang, conveyed Bai Qi's words to him, and asked him to immediately arrest the man in the black car at the edge of the checkpoint without any reason!
Now it is very clear that we did not guess the gang leader's escape route wrong, but the gang leader has been waiting for us to leave before taking action! The man in the black car next to the checkpoint is actually the person responsible for tipping off. Once we walk out of the checkpoint or leave the checkpoint, he will notify the people who come to pick up the gang leader to take action immediately!
But I really don't understand why the gang leader had to wait until we left before taking action? What's the reason? Is it that the gang leader is afraid of us? I think this is definitely not the case. There must be some deeper reason, and this reason is the key to finding the gang leader!
Li Hua said solemnly, "It seems that they are really ready to act. They only have one chance to cooperate with the outside forces, and they used it now. I'm afraid that the gang leader has successfully passed the checkpoint and is on the way to escape. In the end, we miscalculated. The gang leader's escape route is not in the east of the city."
Less than a minute after I learned the news, I was already sweating profusely. After listening to Li Hua's analysis, I felt even more anxious. After thinking it over, I shook my head and said, "I don't think so, because the helicopter appeared just when we left the checkpoint. If the gang leader escaped from somewhere else, why would he be so concerned about our every move? I think this is definitely not a coincidence. Maybe the gang leader is still planning to make a breakthrough in the east of the city, but how is he going to get out, and why is he so confident?"
Bai Longfei said at this time: "Why think about these things? I think we should hurry back to the checkpoint and keep a close eye on him to prevent the gang leader from leaving!"
Li Hua rubbed his eyes and said, "We haven't figured out the situation yet. What if the gang leader has actually left the checkpoint and has been hiding in the woods waiting for rescue? I think we should follow our previous idea. Instead of returning to the checkpoint to guard it, we should capture the people in the helicopter here. That way, the gang leader will have no chance to escape!"
The situation was urgent, Bai Longfei couldn't come up with an idea for a moment, and turned to look at me. At this time, my mind was in a mess, so I had to nod and said, "This is indeed the most effective method at the moment. Let's do as Li Hua said. Let's go to the top of the mountain first. When we looked at it from the bottom of the mountain just now, there seemed to be a large space above the top of the mountain. Let's go up and see where the helicopter landed, and then go to stop it immediately!"
After making this decision, we got up and walked towards the top of the mountain without any hesitation. However, we had not walked forward fifty meters when a glimmer of light seemed to appear in my chaotic brain. I immediately turned my head and looked behind me, and saw that not far behind us, the taxi driver Xiao Dai was leaning against the car door, eating dry food and staring at our backs. This scene instantly and violently impacted my brain, finally dispelling all the gloom in my brain and connecting everything that had happened together!
Seeing that I stopped, Bai Longfei asked me what was going on. I kept staring at Xiao Dai in front of me, and smiled as if relieved, "So that's how it is. This gang leader is really amazing! He actually designed such a sophisticated trap to let us in. Awesome!"
Hearing what I said, Li Hua reacted instantly and asked hurriedly: "What's wrong? Do you already know the escape route of the gang leader?"
"Not only did I know his escape route, I also knew his entire plan! Even others, who were now far away and close at hand!"
