I had said this very straightforwardly, and everyone instantly locked their eyes on Xiao Dai below. Xiao Dai had a very natural expression on his face, and immediately waved his hand and said, "Why are you looking at me?"
Such a real and natural reaction, let alone other people, even I felt like I was wrong. But now the only person who can connect everything together is Xiao Dai, who we met by chance and has been our driver!
Bai Longfei has always trusted me 100%. After hearing what I said, he immediately rushed to Xiao Dai and kept a close eye on him. We followed closely behind him and all returned to our two cars.
Facing so many people surrounding him, Xiao Dai finally got nervous, especially since he knew how explosive Bai Longfei was. He intentionally moved a little further away from Bai Longfei, threw the cigarette butt on the ground, and then pretended to be calm and smiled, "What's wrong? You were fine just now? Are you planning not to give me the money? If you really don't want to give it to me, then forget it. Just don't hit me, okay?"
Since I was not very far away from Xiao Dai when I was speaking just now, I was very sure that he definitely heard what I said. And if he was really the gang leader, he should have understood that his identity had been exposed. But at this moment, he behaved like a threatened driver, without any flaws. This was the first time I encountered someone with such psychological quality.
Xiao Dai's reaction made everyone else feel confused. Bai Longfei and Lin Yingxue looked at me at the same time, and their eyes seemed to want me to give them an explanation. Li Hua's face was solemn at the moment, and it seemed that he should be able to guess the answer to all this like me.
"Ji Wen, the leader of the gang should be from some clown group in the United States. How could he be from our country?" Bai Longfei looked carefully at Xiao Dai, who was trembling with fear in front of him, and couldn't help asking.
I sneered and said, "This is the biggest mistake we made. All of us, including Uncle Bai and even Uncle Tang, were blinded by preconceived notions. We all thought that the gangsters should have foreign faces, but if we think about it carefully, we will find that there is no clue from beginning to end that directly points to this group of people being foreigners. So now we must completely change this idea, so that you can understand what I am going to say next."
After that, I told them all my guesses and doubts from beginning to end, so that they could understand why I doubted the seemingly innocent Xiao Dai in front of them.
Let's start from the beginning. The main reason for this incident was that this group of criminals learned from somewhere that our country's laser weapon technology had been successful, and they sneaked in and stole the drawings when the old professor had just developed it and the guards were the weakest.
The incident happened suddenly, but the police reacted very quickly. They learned about the situation within half an hour after the criminals stole the drawings, and urgently ordered a blockade of the entire city, beginning the difficult process of searching for the criminals. During this period, since the police had no idea about this group of criminals, there was no progress at all.
Then a few days ago, I suddenly got the news of Tang Qingfeng's death, and I rushed back as fast as I could to start participating in the investigation here.
Everything really started after I joined the investigation here. We first analyzed the two routes that this group of criminals might take to leave Dengfeng City from Tang Qingfeng's death. Li Hua and I investigated one route each, trying to find the murderer. However, when we were investigating Zhou Bo who died with Tang Qingfeng, we were accidentally connected with the taxi driver Xiao Dai.
In fact, the appearance of Xiao Dai was very natural, and there seemed to be no arrangement at all. But if you think about it carefully, Xiao Dai is actually the most suspicious person.
Think back to why we hired Xiao Dai as our driver and took us to where we wanted to go in the past few days. It was because when we went to investigate Taibaiju Hotel, an accident at the intersection caused Bai Qi's car to be scrapped, so we had to choose Xiao Dai as our driver. When the car accident happened, I began to doubt whether this car accident was planned by Xiao Dai, because the situation at that time was very special. Why did the drunk driving the minivan hit Xiao Dai just when he left the traffic light? Because that was simply a play that Xiao Dai performed for us, in order to infiltrate us as a taxi driver!
Afterwards, after the car accident, Xiao Dai pretended to try his best to lead Bai Longfei to intercept the drunk man sitting on the driver's seat of the minivan, and completely gained Bai Longfei's trust. Bai Longfei then carefully interrogated the drunk man. The drunk man should have been completely bribed by Xiao Dai, and insisted that he was just driving under the influence. This matter was temporarily forgotten by us.
Because of this incident, Xiao Dai naturally became our driver. We were in a hurry to go to Taibaiju Hotel at that time. Although I still had doubts about the authenticity of this incident, after we found the images of the two foreigners who killed Zhou Bo and Tang Qingfeng, we were too excited and forgot about this matter for the time being.
Everything that happened afterwards was within Xiao Dai's expectations. He asked several of his men to test the checkpoints in the four directions of Dengfeng City to see where they could make a breakthrough. But there was one thing that I think Xiao Dai had never expected, and that was that my dad came to Dengfeng City in a rage because of Tang Qingfeng's death. He spent one night finding the two murderers who killed Tang Qingfeng and lured them to death.
I mentioned earlier that the gang leader, Xiao Dai, had already tested the checkpoints in three directions of Dengfeng City and would definitely choose one to escape from. But why didn't Xiao Dai send anyone to test the checkpoint in the south? That's because the two men who were responsible for testing the checkpoint in the south had been killed by my father, so he had to give up the south and only test the checkpoints in other directions.
Of the two remaining men, one was responsible for going to the west to blow up the place in order to test the police's reaction speed, because if that man succeeded in blowing up the place, the police's reaction speed would determine how long he would be chased after when he left. Unfortunately, Li Hua first found out the code Xiao Dai used to communicate with his men, and gave it to Lu Feng to decipher, so Xiao Dai did not succeed.
The second subordinate, Taimu, transformed himself into a boxer and pretended to die suddenly. He somehow deceived everyone and planned to leave Dengfeng City as a dead person to see if he could hide it from the police. This time Taimu was very successful. If I hadn't discovered the clues left by Tang Qingfeng in time and tracked down Taimu, I'm afraid Taimu would have succeeded in escaping.
Since Taimu almost left Dengfeng City, Xiao Dai would naturally choose to use some identity to leave this road. However, when he was chasing Taimu with us, he found another way to leave Dengfeng City more safely, which was to leave with us!
He found that when he left with us, the police would not check our vehicle at all after learning our identities and would let us pass directly, so he made a plan on the spot and continued to use the method of feinting to the east and attacking in the west, while looking for ways to lure us out of the city!
I think the person responsible for helping Xiao Dai contact the outside world should be the man in the black car we found on the edge of the East City Checkpoint. After he learned of Xiao Dai's plan, he quietly came to the outside of the East City Checkpoint, pretending to stay, but actually executing Xiao Dai's plan, which was to contact other people from the Joker Group who were ready to reinforce outside at any time, and let them find things like helicopters to attract the attention of the police.
As long as we find a helicopter coming to Dengfeng City, we will definitely go out of the city to check or directly arrest the people in the helicopter. At that time, Xiao Dai can take advantage of the chaos to leave and escape the blockade of Dengfeng City without anyone noticing.
Everything Xiao Dai did was exactly what I said to Bai Qi when I first came to Dengfeng City. He would choose to leave using some legitimate identity, and this legitimate identity was our driver.
After I briefly explained the matter, Xiao Dai looked completely confused, as if he didn't understand what we were saying at all. I continued, "This man was so thoughtful, but he still failed in the end. If I hadn't suddenly figured it all out just now, I'm afraid he would have quietly slipped away when we went up the mountain."
Xiao Dai looked innocent and frightened at this time, and hurriedly said: "Are you mistaken? I am a taxi driver who makes a living. What are you talking about? Why don't I understand a word you say?"
Xiao Dai's too real reaction made Bai Longfei unable to doubt him at all. Bai Longfei turned to me with a puzzled look and said, "Ji Wen, although what you said makes sense, do you have any evidence? I have been getting along well with Xiao Dai these two days. He should not be the person we are looking for, right?"
Before I could say anything, Li Hua, who had been silent, stood up and said, "I think Ji Wen probably thought of this from what Bai Qi said about the helicopter. Why did the other party take action immediately after we left the city? This is the real key question! Now it seems that the other party is not waiting for us to leave before taking action, but waiting for the person who left with us to actually leave the city before taking action quickly! And this person can only be the driver!"
