Xia Mingke walked in and saw that there was an empty mineral water bottle in the grass. The water in the bottle had bottomed out, and the ground at the mouth of the bottle was slightly wet.
"Keep chasing, the suspect should not have run far."
"Captain Xia, I need to give the police dog some water."
"Yes, other people will check around to see if the suspect has left any other traces, such as footprints."
"Yes." The police officers responded with their mouths, but their bodies were very honest. They each found a place to sit down. They were also very tired after running for so long on the mountain road.
Many team members also took out water and snacks.
The handler put the dog down to rest, then gave it some water, rested for a few minutes, and performed the task again.
The police dog sniffed the mineral water bottle left by the suspect, and ran up following the scent trail...
…
Near the border between Dianzhou and Myanmar.
Han Bin and others had a pass to clear the way and arrived at the border checkpoint unimpeded.
The person in charge of the border inspection station has received a request for assistance from the Dali City Public Security Bureau, and has sent a person in charge to contact Han Bin.
The person in charge is Yao Wenke, who looks to be in his thirties, and is the captain of the first team on duty at the border checkpoint.
After checking the documents and procedures, Yao Wenke returned the documents to Han Bin, and said with a smile, "Captain Han, I didn't expect you to be so young. If it weren't for the complete procedures and documents, I wouldn't dare to recognize you."
"Captain Yao, since you have already gone through the formalities, can you let us also participate in the border inspection work?"
"No problem, we have often cooperated with the Dali City Public Security Bureau, and we have solved many major cases together, all of them are our own." Yao Wenke made a gesture of invitation, "Captain Han, this way, I will take you to familiarize yourself with it." Security channel."
"good."
"Dinglingling..." At this moment, Wang Xiao's cell phone rang.
Wang Xiao took a look and said, "Captain Han, it's Ma Guodong's call."
"Go ahead."
Wang Xiao pressed the answer button, "Team Leader Ma."
"Yes, it's me. How's the situation over there?"
"I found it so quickly, are you sure he ran into the mountains?"
"I see, I will tell Captain Han." Wang Xiao responded and hung up the phone.
Han Bin said, "What's wrong?"
Wang Xiao pondered for a moment, "Captain Xia led people to follow them all the way and found Lu Zhen's car. The car was abandoned on the side of the road. It is very likely that Lu Zhen ran into the mountains and fled to Myanmar from the virgin forest."
"Can you make sure?"
"Chairman Xia Ke used the search dog to follow the scent in the forest and found a mineral water bottle left by the suspect. Chief Xia Ke has led people to continue the hunt, but if you go deeper, the phone may have no signal , so let us know the situation."
Jiang Yang said, "Even used the search dog, Captain Xia is quite thoughtful."
Zhao Ming was a little disappointed, "Since they have tracked down the suspect, it means that Lu Zhen can't escape in the direction of the border checkpoint, so we've made this trip in vain."
Hearing Zhao Ming's words, several team members were a little disappointed.
Unknowingly, they have subconsciously regarded the Oli City Criminal Investigation Brigade as competitors.
Han Bin frowned and said, "Okay, cheer up, as long as the suspect hasn't been caught, we will stand on the last post."
"Yes." Everyone replied weakly.
…
At this moment, Xia Mingke was like a wolf who smelled a fishy smell. The thought of catching the suspect Lu Zhen would make him feel ashamed. He was full of energy and didn't feel tired at all.
"Woof..." The police dog warned again, and the dog handler shouted, "Captain Xia, some items were found here, most likely left by the suspect."
Xia Mingke walked over quickly. It was a bag of Snickers bars. There were still a few peanut skins scattered around the bag, and there were a few scattered footprints beside it, which were probably left by the suspect.
"The footprints are still fresh. The suspect should have been running for a while, and he is getting closer. We just need to work harder to catch the suspect."
Ma Guodong unscrewed the mineral water and took a sip, "Captain Xia, the police dog is so tired that it sticks out its tongue, why don't we give the police dog a rest."
Another team member waved his hand, drove away the mosquitoes around, and echoed, "Yes, Team Xia, don't tire the dog out."
How could Xia Mingke fail to see their thoughts, and looked at the dog trainer beside him, "Do you need a rest?"
"It's best to rest for a few minutes, the consumption is too much, and the police dog needs to replenish some energy."
"Okay, then take a seven-minute break."
The dog handler took out the water basin, put some water for the police dog, and then took out a bag from the backpack and poured some dog food into the water basin.
The police dog was so hungry that he ate very quickly. In less than a minute, there was not a grain of dog food left in the water basin.
The dog handler put the dog on the ground and began to massage the dog professionally, from the head to the back, and then to the limbs.
Xia Mingke stood up, wiped the sweat from his brow, and looked into the distance. There were green canopies everywhere. If it wasn't for the police dogs to help track them, they would be no different from finding a needle in a big lake just by tracking them in the forest.
Xia Mingke glanced at his watch and slapped his hands, "Okay, everyone, get up and move around, and get ready to go."
Seeing the team members stand up slowly, Xia Mingke encouraged, "I know you are tired, but if we rest for a minute longer, the suspect will be one point closer to the border. Once we let him escape abroad, all our previous efforts will be in vain. .
Now is not the time to rest. When the suspect is caught, I will not only give everyone credit, but also ask everyone for leave, so that everyone can take a good rest for a few days. "
Xia Mingke's words still had some effect. The team members were ready to go, and led by the police dogs, they continued to go deep into the forest.
The police chased hard, but the suspect did not stop and ran all the way. Seeing that the sky was getting dark, there was still no trace of the suspect.
Xia Mingke didn't dare to relax, and was afraid that the players' bodies would not be able to take it anymore, so he asked everyone to take a short rest and eat some snacks to replenish their strength.
The team members sat together and discussed quietly.
One of the team members whispered, "Captain Xia, it's getting dark now, and the tree canopy will cover the top at night, making it even more difficult to walk on this mountain road."
Another team member echoed, "Yes, this mountain road is not easy to walk, if one slips and falls, no one can be found."
Xia Mingke rubbed his face with his hands, and was bitten by some kind of bug, which was very itchy, "Are you tired?"
"tired."
"I feel like my legs don't belong to me anymore."
"I usually walk for a few hours, but this mountain climbing is really tiring, and I can't stand it." Everyone said in unison.
Xia Mingke took a sip of water, "I feel the same for everyone. I'm tired too, and I don't want to chase anymore. But knowing that the suspect is ahead, can we turn back?"
Ma Guodong said, "Captain Xia, we didn't mean that, it's just that everyone has been chasing the mountain road for several hours, and they are indeed a little tired, why don't you take a break and chase again."
Xia Mingke said, "I can understand everyone's thoughts. Normally, this is not a big deal, but it's different now. I believe the suspect is also very tired now, but as long as he has a breath, he won't stop and will continue to run.
Once we stop to rest, the suspect will likely run farther and farther. Before we reach the border, he may have fled abroad, and we can only return empty-handed.
When that happens, have you ever thought about it? How do we face our colleagues in the Municipal Bureau, and how do we explain to the leaders. We have already made a mistake in the task of arresting Wu Yongzhen. If Lu Zhen is allowed to escape again, will those comrades in the Qindao Police Station laugh at us? At that time, our face will be lost to other provinces, I don't know what you think, anyway, I will go back like this without face. "
Everyone was silent for a moment, Ma Guodong patted his cheek, "What Team Xia said is that we can't let people from the Qindao City Public Security Bureau laugh at us, let alone throw our face on Qindao."
"That's right, the police in Dali City are no worse than their Qindao. Didn't they catch that Sun Xutong just because of their luck?"
"That's right, Sun Xutong was also found by our people. They just arrested him directly. How is this different from picking peaches?"
Xia Mingke listened more and more distorted, and waved his hand, "Okay, don't say these words. Our problem now is to catch Lu Zhen. Only in this way can we save face and return to the Dali City Public Security Bureau in a dignified way."
Ma Guodong stood up and stomped his feet, "What Team Xia said is, bro, we've had enough rest, and we should continue on our way. If we really want Lu Zhen to run away, let's not go back. We might as well hang ourselves from a tree."
Another team member patted his butt and stood up, "Bie Jie, there are so many trees here, there are not millions, but hundreds of thousands, you have to be picky."
"You are so ugly, why don't you choose anything, any tree will not be a loss to you."
Everyone laughed and made a fuss, and the team regained their vitality. Under the leadership of the police dogs, they continued to track in the dark...
The night road is not easy to walk, and the mountain road at night is even more difficult to walk.
But in order to avoid being alerted by the suspects, Xia Mingke forbids everyone to use flashlights, and can only walk forward by the moonlight that penetrates through the gaps in the leaves.
One team member stepped on the air and fell down. Fortunately, it was not too steep, but his back fell on a tree, with some scratches and bruises.
Xia Mingke left one person to accompany the injured player, and the rest continued to follow.
Chased for another hour.
A faint light could be seen in the distance, Xia Mingke made a stop gesture, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and sat down on the ground.
Xia Mingke looked into the distance and asked Ma Guodong beside him, "Is there a fire in front?"
Ma Guodong took a closer look, with a look of joy on his face, "It looks like it."
"Finally caught up." Xia Mingke licked his tongue, "In this way, we will split up into two groups to outflank and arrest the other party."
Ma Guodong nodded and replied softly, "Okay."
Xia Mingke said, "You must be quick to arrest. If he runs away again this late at night, it will not be so easy to catch."
"I know." Ma Guodong tore off a Snickers bar and planted it in his mouth.
Xia Mingke looked at the other team members and mobilized again, "Everyone eat less and get ready for action later. The suspect is right in front, success or failure depends on it. Don't let anyone throw me off at the critical moment."
"Yes." Everyone replied in a low voice.
Xia Mingke warned, "Also, be careful when you act later. I suspect that the suspect may be carrying a gun. When arresting, you must control the suspect's hands as soon as possible, and you must not give him a chance to draw a gun."
"Captain Xia, if this kid escapes, can he shoot?"
"If he has a gun, he can shoot back. If he doesn't carry a gun, it's better not to shoot. Even if we can't catch up, there are search dogs." This is Xia Mingke's last card. In this complex terrain, The arrest was carried out at night again, and police dogs are better than people.
Hearing this, the team members all looked at the police dog lying on the ground in unison.
In their view, police dogs are different from ordinary dogs and are trustworthy companions.
This time, Xia Mingke let the team members rest for 20 minutes. He was also worried that the team members would lose their energy during the arrest, so he gave everyone time to recover.
And during this time, he didn't relax his vigilance in the slightest, and kept watching the distant fire with a telescope without blinking his eyes.
It is easy to be exposed by lighting a fire at night. This behavior seems silly, but it is actually a helpless move.
Some people are afraid of being alone at home at night, let alone staying alone in the virgin forest at night, the timid can be scared to death.
In addition to the relatively few people in the forest, there are many wild animals. Many wild animals and poisonous snakes come out at night, so lighting a bonfire is also a form of self-protection.
Of course, in the final analysis, the suspect still had a fluke mentality and was careless.
Twenty minutes later, the arrest operation officially began.
With the firelight, it was like a guiding light at night. Xia Mingke and Ma Guodong led the operations separately, one starting from the direction of nine o'clock, and the other starting from the direction of three o'clock to make a detour to arrest them.
Because the sky was too dark, we couldn't see each other at all, the mobile phone had no signal, and the walkie-talkie was afraid of being heard by the suspect.
So before the action, the two checked their watches and agreed to arrest them together at eight o'clock in the evening.
Xia Mingke stooped to the vicinity of the fire, and if he went any further, he might be discovered.
He lay on the ground and looked forward with the binoculars, and he could already clearly see the outline around the fire. There was only one person, and it should be a man.
Xia Mingke felt stable, and looked at his watch. It was five minutes before the agreed arrest time.
In order to be sure of the arrest, Xia Mingke decided to wait.
During this period of time, Xia Mingke never took his eyes off the telescope, and kept staring at the movement by the fire. As long as the suspect moved, he would immediately arrest him.
Suddenly, he felt some itching in his neck, and hurriedly scratched it with his hands, his fingers hurt a little bit.
He didn't care about what looked like a magic horse, so he squeezed the bug with his hand and squeezed it to death.
At eight o'clock, Xia Mingke said softly, "Action."
Under the leadership of Xia Mingke, the team members crawled forward and approached the suspected target.
At a distance of more than ten meters from the suspect, the suspect seemed to hear the movement, "Who is there?"
The suspect was very alert, squatted down, and took a handful of soil to cover the fire.
The light of the fire suddenly dimmed a lot.
Xia Mingke knew that he had been exposed, so he stopped hiding and shouted, "Police, don't move!"
Then, one by one, figures sprang up from the ground and rushed towards the man beside the fire.
The man next to the fire turned around and wanted to run, but found that there were several figures behind him, which seemed to block his escape direction.
At the same time, a cry sounded,
"Police, don't move!"
