"Satellite coverage in place, live transmission begins."
Li Mei tapped the keyboard and said something back.
"The engineering company of the 52941 army is ready, and we are requesting instructions."
Another message came, she didn't look back, and reported it directly.
"The special police search and rescue team is ready, requesting instructions."
One more thing, when she said this, she couldn't help but feel a little emotional. As a policeman, it is a blessing to be able to participate in such a joint operation of thousands of people, because only in this kind of adversity can one truly understand Feel the strength of a collective cooperation and a team unity.
On the screen, Xiuwu Town has almost become a police camp. More than 1,000 newly transferred police forces and engineering companies will carry out an unprecedented on-foot search, radiating a range of 50 kilometers from Xiuwu Town, and police forces in more than a dozen directions will Cross-operation under the command of the satellite to hunt down the missing murderer.
"It's a big deal. Now the police force participating in the war plus the support of the army, the criminal police, the armed police, the special police, and the police forces in our townships, there are 3,000 people, right?" Wang Shaofeng said with emotion, perhaps the most nervous one is sitting here Commander, is a state of mind that is both excited and nervous.
"I'm afraid that if you cast a large net, it will be difficult to catch fish." Xu Pingqiu said, his fingers trembling for no reason. He knew the weight of this command, and the provincial department has already done its best to support it. Almost all of them were drawn out, and all police units in the city canceled their vacations. Even those with a little grassroots work experience were almost all pulled to the front line.
"Let's start." Wang Shaofeng looked at his watch.
Xu Pingqiu got up and took the podium from Xiao Mengqi. He closed his eyes, adjusted his mentality, and then spoke in a low but sonorous voice:
"I am Xu Pingqiu, the captain of the Criminal Investigation Team of Shanxi Province. First of all, on behalf of the Provincial Department, I would like to say sorry to all the police officers, armed police officers and soldiers who participated in the battle today, as well as our junior soldiers. This year, we have had a hard time... Everyone should be happy You know, on the night of the New Year's Eve, a bloody case occurred in Wulin Village. A family of six was exterminated. The oldest was 67 years old, and the youngest was only five years old. Now their bodies are still lying in the yard and cannot be mourned. The family members died, but no one was left behind; the horror atmosphere caused by this murder has put the entire village, the entire town, and the entire Taiyuan City at risk... In the past 30 hours, we have used all the methods we can think of. We used all of them, but we failed. There are many reasons: the road was blocked by heavy snow, the temperature was minus 10 degrees, the visibility was less than 20 meters, and the lack of police force for investigation were all reasons. It is a kind of test. Everyone can't eat a few mouthfuls of hot food, can't drink a few mouthfuls of hot water, and those who celebrate the New Year have to run in the wilderness. It is very difficult, very difficult. I have never felt so much pressure in the police force for decades... "
Suddenly Xiao Mengqi's eyes were a little moist, and a scene appeared in her, that innocent child was still holding a firecracker in his hand when he died.
Suddenly Li Mei let out a sigh, that frightening murder scene, the six innocent dead, the bloody scene, was so clear.
At this moment, Xu Pingqiu couldn't remember how many times he had been so excited, so sad and so full of pride in his chest. He paused, not knowing what to say.
At the entrance of the town, a neat formation stood on the clear road behind the snow, and the voice of the legendary captain echoed in his ears. His actions didn't seem to destroy the harmony of the entire team, nor the solemnity of the atmosphere here.
"However, no matter how many reasons there are, no matter how difficult it is, we have no right to give up, because we are the police, because the place where I am now is behind the crime scene, and six cold bodies are still lying on the cold floor. They are dying, they are waiting for us...waiting for us police, justice for them!... Now, I order, all police officers present—”
Loudspeaker, hoarse voice, voice almost exhausted, and then only heard the content of the command shouted out:
"Set off!"
With the sound of people moving, the locomotive roared, and the forklift in front shoveled away the snow on the road to clear obstacles for the vehicles behind.
Four equipment vehicles equipped with search and rescue infrared scanning were behind them, and the high-power wavelengths radiated outward along the four roads. On the scanning screen displayed without gaps, all objects with signs of life could not escape.
Ten meters behind the car, the heavily armed foot team set off, stepping on the knee-high snow, and opened a skirmish line tens of meters long along the road. On the satellite screen, there are dots of navy blue, like jumping elves, on the snowy ground under the haze, go forward, go forward, fall down, keep going...
In the direct conversation with the headquarters, the team leaders were listening carefully to the key areas analyzed by the task force for 30 hours.
"Easily hidden crops in the field, grass, irrigation and drainage stations, pressurized wells, and all the abandoned buildings that might hide."
"The villages mainly check the abandoned houses, cave dwellings, brick kilns, and cemeteries in the old villages. Pay attention to the traces of human activity after snowfall."
"The murderer has been on the run for more than 30 hours. Heating and food should be the murderer's first needs. Special attention should be paid to scattered residents in various villages, the elderly left behind, and people who are easy to be targeted. The possibility of the murderer committing another crime cannot be ruled out. "
"..."
More than 30 hours of failed experience summed up, and the guiding direction of the large-scale search, in addition to the search on the ground, the satellites in the sky are also scanning this area in real time, it is easy to find in the satellite image, the mountainous area that is mainly monitored, the thick accumulation The snow layer is bright silver, and even if a rabbit runs past on this screen, it can be traced back to find its original appearance.
After the operation started, the task force fell silent. Xu Pingqiu was smoking one cigarette after another, leaning against the door, anxiously waiting for the news of the search team ahead. In the room, Li Mei, Yu Feng, and Zhang Weiwei were sitting on pins and needles, carefully monitoring the entire communication channel, for fear of missing the news, Xiao Mengqi was a loafer, and she felt a little embarrassed, just like when she was working in the special police detachment, her main task was to shoot at each other. The SWAT policemen provide psychological counseling, but in fact she seldom counsels them. Those men often drink, cry once when they are drunk and make a fuss, and then counsel them by themselves.
Just like this time, in a large operation, the role that an individual can play is really negligible. The psychological analysis and motivational analysis that she was once proud of are far less realistic than these crowd tactics.
She sat quietly with her eyes closed, listening to the buzzing sound of the communication equipment, and then she inexplicably remembered Yu Zui, that treacherous, bad guy, who always surprises you when you can't imagine boy. She has always been very disdainful of this naughty, mean, foul-mouthed guy who steals things with his hands. She always thinks that it would be a bug to keep him in the support team, a high-intelligence group, even though he still has a good reputation in Shenzhen. Extraordinary work.
But now she seems to feel that there is a bug without him. Although the whole search seems to be huge, but the direction is still vague. This high-IQ support team actually only played a little communication function...
…
"What did we miss?"
When Yu Zui rushed to the logistics support place, the instructor Guo Yanxi was working with two members of the Zhuangzihe criminal police team, shoveling snow and packing up most of the leftover lunch boxes. car.
"Let's go." Instructor Guo said, Lao Guo is a step-by-step master, and the breakfast service arranged by the team leader must be impeccable.
"What's gone?" Yu Zui asked.
"The big troop is gone... Oh, you didn't see it. The square team of more than 1,000 people was only seen during the inspection, and even the junior soldiers were mobilized... Now thousands of police forces are searching for it. It's the first time I've seen such a large team. Formation." The instructor said with a smile, but when he looked up, he couldn't see Yu Zui, he pursed his lips, and said dissatisfiedly: "Hey, I still have no hair on my mouth, I can't do things well, I haven't explained what to do about lunch... Hey, come here , Gouzi, Big Mouth, turn up the fire and boil more hot water, it won’t be sunny for a while.”
Bayong and Gou Shengyang were held back by the guide, and reluctantly picked up the guy to do the work. From time to time, they looked at the direction the captain was running to. They were going to Wulin Village, and they couldn't figure it out.
Yu Zui always felt that something was wrong. When he ran from the town to the village, he had already thought about it. He went straight to the No. 17 courtyard, knocked open the door of the temporary command task force, took a breath, and saw Xu Pingqiu looking at his watch. Xu Weiwei smiled and asked: "I didn't come back until nine o'clock, I missed it."
Yu Zui couldn't care less about talking, he took a sip, took a breath, and said directly: "I suggest that the encirclement be reduced to a radius of 20 kilometers, and the entire urban area should be abandoned. Concentrate on sweeping this area."
The well-thought-out plan made Xu Pingqiu frown. Old Xu asked directly, "What's the reason?"
"Reason!?" Yu Zui suddenly discovered that this reason was all a vague feeling, and it couldn't be called a reason at all. He scratched his head and said, "There are many reasons, I feel that he didn't go far."
"Then you get a feel for where he is, it's not that simple." Xu Pingqiu dismissed him and gave him a blank look.
"You..." Yu Zui choked for a moment, and then he got up and said tit-for-tat: "Why didn't you find it if you were capable? It's been more than 30 hours, and you haven't been running around without a head? Around 50 kilometers In the area, you have no direction at all."
This time it's time for Xu Pingqiu to turn his eyes, he really has no direction, but who dares to set a direction for those uncertain things.
The two of them stared at Maimang with needlepoints. Since the last time they went back to the cemetery, there was probably a lot of rift, which alarmed other people. When Wang Shaofeng heard the yell, when he got up and opened the curtain, he was slightly surprised. He suddenly understood a lot of things. A police officer who dared to challenge the captain directly, as if he should not surprise others by doing anything else.
"I know you, your name is Yu Zui... Come in, why are you standing in the snow?" Wang Shaofeng said with a smile, the first time I saw Yu Zui, he was stunned for a while, the very friendly Director Wang with a white face and beardless, polite, Nimabi Old Xu with a charcoal face is not known how many times stronger, and he can't complain that he lost when he was a rival in love.
Once again, I saw how extraordinary Yu Zui was. He was like Wang Shaofeng's peers, so he coaxed him in. Wang Shaofeng poured a glass of water, and when he turned around, he had already sat down, stamped his feet, and patted the snow on his trouser legs , Director Wang was stunned by this expression, Xiao Mengqi hurriedly coughed and coughed twice, and pointed at Yu Zui with his eyes, Yu Zui then remembered that he forgot the basic etiquette.
Stand up and salute: "Thank you, Bureau Wang."
"Sit down, don't...you're welcome, anyway, you are not restrained." Wang Shaofeng smiled, and suddenly felt that this person was very interesting. He was always like this when meeting leaders, at least his psychological quality was different from ordinary people. He looked at Yu Zui with a smile, Yu Zui took a sip of water, Xu Pingqiu also sat down, Wang Shaofeng suggested: "I heard your suggestion, try to convince us, this has too much to do... I know you have this ability, Criminal Investigation Forum Comrades up and down, wherever you go, you are at the level of a leader.”
Yu Zui looked at Xu Pingqiu, Xu Pingqiu smiled, and said with a smile: "There is a saying in official clothes, it is a mule or a horse that comes out for a walk, hurry up, maybe you will find it soon, and it can confirm your guess."
"Okay, first of all, I don't think he can run twenty kilometers, or even less." Yu Zui said.
"What's the reason?" Xu Pingqiu asked nonchalantly.
"Because I tried it myself, the big mouth in our team smokes, drinks, and exercises regularly, and the physical condition of the suspect is similar to that of the suspect. I was stuck on time. He let go and ran desperately in one hour and twenty minutes. Run, make do with eight kilometers, and it is in an urban area with a fairly good road surface, but in the wild under such conditions, it will last to death, five kilometers." Yu Zui said.
"There were five hours between escaping from the incident and organizing the search and arrest." Wang Shaofeng said. He also had a background in criminal investigation and pointed to the vital point.
"Theoretically, it seems that you should run a long distance, but in fact... the continuity of human physical fitness is very poor. Have you ever thought about it? He is in an environment below minus ten degrees. He only needs to rest for a while, even for a minute. , the heat from his body will start to dissipate... And have you noticed, he vomited a bunch on the edge of the town, which is a side effect of killing excitement and tension... It also brought a side effect to his escape, and it took less than an hour You will be tired and hungry. Considering the overall conditions like this - I have been busy for a day on New Year's Eve, cleaning up the house, posting couplets, cooking, and drinking. I am already tired, and then kill people, and even more tired, and vomit again... Several conditions are unfavorable factors , but he didn’t even wear a jacket when he ran, so how could he run fifty kilometers?” Yu Zui asked rhetorically.
Wang Shaofeng raised his eyebrows and paid more attention, he glanced at Xu Pingqiu and said, "It seems to make sense."
"Is it possible to be in the urban area?" Xu Pingqiu asked.
"Impossible, I just went to confirm this last night. The situation I got is like this..." Yu Zuicai said urgently. When it came to Diao Yali's prostitution for a living, Ge Baolong turned a blind eye to it, which really surprised everyone in the room. In the end, Yu Zui slapped his hands and concluded: "Cowardly, cowardly, selfish, inferior, he is not even responsible for what his wife did, how bold do you expect him to be... So I think instinct drives him to run, He was afraid. The reason why he committed the crime of extermination was because of the courage fueled by alcohol and resentment. He probably started to be afraid after he vomited... "
"It makes sense, such a person who has a personality that is difficult to integrate into the group should not choose the urban area. You and the experts invited by the provincial department have the same analysis on this point." Wang Shaofeng said.
"Don't put a high hat on him." Xu Pingqiu asked again as if deliberately provocative: "Why is it impossible to escape by climbing a car?"
"Test me, I waited for more than a dozen cars on the side of the road this morning, and I took a picture of this." Yu Zui said, throwing out his phone, and took a photo of the back of the truck, snowy, with long icicles. Wang Shaofeng frowned, looked at Xu Pingqiu with a smile, and Yu Zui explained: "First, there are few cars on New Year's Eve, and second, if you want to climb, you can only climb trucks, but think about it this way according to his situation—it's better to start from a new year." From the beginning of the New Year's Eve, cleaning up the house, cooking, eating, drinking, and killing people, he was so nervous and vomited again, and then ran for a few kilometers, waiting for the opportunity to climb the car... Even if he waited for ten minutes at this time, he would be so cold that he stretched out. How can you climb a car if you don't make a move... don't talk about a master, even the guys from the secret service team may not be able to do it under the same conditions."
"Hmm... well said." Xu Pingqiu looked at the photo taken by Yu Zui and was a little moved, but he didn't expect this kid to be really serious. He handed the phone back, and Wang Shaofeng looked at him with a smile and said, "It's really good. Our technical investigators picked up 57 large trucks that passed that night at the city and province borders, and made such a judgment only after there were no abnormalities. ten hours."
So the comprehensive judgment is still hidden in the wild where it is easiest to escape, Xu Pingqiu and Wang Shaofeng looked at Yu Zui, as if waiting for his answer.
"Twenty kilometers, even less shrinkage. Now we are going to catch a master master in the same way as catching bandits. It's like shooting mosquitoes with anti-aircraft guns. Not only is it overkill, but it may not be able to catch it." Yu Zui said.
Wang Shaofeng and Xu Pingqiu looked at each other, Old Xu shook his head: "Give it to him."
Xiao Mengqi immediately understood, those sorted out key search areas, printed a sheet and handed it to Yu Zui, Yu Zui scanned it again, but was a little embarrassed, this is purely a general thing, dare you say which one is wrong, or... which one right
"This... you didn't ask me to command, I don't understand the situation, what should I say?" Yu Zui found an excellent excuse. Wang Shaofeng was taken aback for a moment, then burst out laughing, and those few couldn't hold back anymore, they covered their mouths and laughed.
"Then let you direct, what are you going to do?" Xu Pingqiu asked.
"Simple, using the simplest and most direct method, focus on searching the areas not far from the road. Mountains, villages, and all places with people should be abandoned. It should be very close. You have to consider that he is a tired and hungry master. I can't steal, I can't rob, I really can't think of any other possibility except to hide in a corner of someone I can't see?" Yu Zui said.
It seems reasonable, but it has too much to do with it. Wang Shaofeng looked at Xu Pingqiu, and Xu Pingqiu also looked at him. Everyone had to weigh it when he rashly issued an order to shrink the area. I can't rush it, it's better to wait for a while, Lao Xu smoked a cigarette and lit it up again.
"There's news... The satellite monitoring found a suspicious point." Li Mei shouted nervously.
This worked, the two senior officers got up in shock, gathered around the computer screen, zoomed in and zoomed in, on the transmitted image, the figure was like a cartoon character, made up of shadows, but it could be seen that it was a person running on the mountain, According to the monitoring information, this person just came out of the pine forest.
"The first group of the serious crime team, march to your southwest."
"Group 09, Group 09... Immediately find out the abnormal situation behind you, a distance of 2.9 kilometers in a straight line..."
"Group 05, to the northwest of you, run forward, surround the people on the mountain..."
"... 19 groups, running forward..."
There was a panic in the command channel. At this time, the encirclement was already shrinking from the satellite image, and the suspicious point got into the pine forest again, disappeared, looming, but could not escape the lock of the enlarged satellite image.
Suddenly, the nearest 09 group came to report: "Report, he found us, turned around and ran, we caught up."
Bang... There was a dull voice in the channel.
Surprised, Wang Shaofeng hurriedly said: "What's going on? Is it the sound of a gunshot?"
"This guy had a weapon... and shot us," the channel reported.
"Is it a suspect in the investigation?" Wang Shaofeng roared, as if he had caught a life-saving straw.
"It's too far away, I can't see clearly." The channel reported.
Immediately afterwards, it became chaotic again, ran away, and ran through the mountain ridge, satellite tracking, and for a while several teams who were investigating were rounded up from all directions.
"Isn't it? Have weapons?" Xu Pingqiu was stunned, this accident was too big.
"It shouldn't be wrong. On the second day of the new year, who is carrying a weapon and running up the mountain? I just said that the person who dares to commit the murder case is definitely not an ordinary person. This is like his style...Old Xu, should we Come to the scene." Wang Shaofeng said excitedly, he hadn't encountered such an exciting event for many years.
"Take a look." Old Xu anxiously agreed.
The two turned around and left. When they saw Yu Zui, Wang Shaofeng remembered and asked, "How many kilometers away from Xiuwu Town?"
"27.9 kilometers." Li Mei looked at it and added: "On Dilong Mountain, the closest to Yaqueliang Village."
Wang Ju asked a question, then turned around and left, but he understood what the meaning was, and looked back at Yu Zui, who just stared back at everyone blankly, and it took him a while to react from his astonishment. He rolled his eyes and said, "Don't Look at me, definitely not, there are more people hiding guys in the countryside, and the whole seamless pipe can make an earthen gun."
"It seems like you know everything. What if?" Li Mei retorted him.
"It's a fart, just wait and see, those two idiots will come back in a while." Yu Zui kicked the chair to get up, and walked away swaggeringly.
idiot? Disgraced
Even if you describe the captain and director in this way, at least don't say it so clearly. A few people were stunned, looked at each other, and then pretended that they didn't hear anything, and they were busy with their own things. Xiao Mengqi hesitated for a minute, then she made a decision, and chased Yu Zui out without a sound, chasing Yu Zui from a distance, and went straight to the logistics support area. Boots, backpack, and the two people around him who looked like the second general hum, stuffed wine, instant noodles, and ham sausage into the bag.
"What are you going to do?" Xiao Mengqi was startled when she saw this posture.
"Go and see what's going on in person. Sitting at home and sitting in the snow are completely different things." Yu Zui said, greeted Gou Shengyang and Bayong, and asked directly: "Can you do it?"
"It's okay, we'll sleep for a while." Gou Shengyang said.
"Captain, I'll give you half a plate of pork for the brothers. If you can't do it, you have to. I'll take a walk with you." Bayong is very loyal.
The three of them packed up and set off on the road. Instructor Guo gave a helpless expression. Three thousand people have not been found yet, so what's the use of three people.
No, four, Xiao Mengqi has caught up with three of them, the rough men Bayong and Gou Shengyang are happy, Bayong said straightly: "Yeah, beauty, the road is not lonely anymore."
"Big Mouth, your ideal is half a piece of pork, and beautiful women belong to the captain." Gou Shengyang joked. But the two of them opened their mouths and stopped laughing immediately, approached the stars on their shoulders and saw clearly, Xiao Mengqi gouged out the two of them, and the two saluted in surprise: "I'm sorry."
"It's worthless, I've said everything, so why apologize." Yu Zui said without looking back.
Oh, the captain is awesome. Although the two brothers are quite old, their admiration for the captain is definitely not fake. When the captain spoke, the two did not apologize. Xiao Mengqi didn't care about arguing with them, so she kept up with Yu Zui and asked, "Maybe it's useful for just a few of you?"
"It may not be useful, just for peace of mind. If you don't do anything, it seems that your conscience can't bear it." Yu Zui stopped, and had already stood on the side of the road. The footprints of the front team stretched out, and he silently took out the small The small firecracker, glanced at it, then lit it, threw it, and there was a crisp sound. He looked at the smoke and dust that bloomed and disappeared, and said with his backpack on his back: "Let's go, let's make it for that child... I will try my best if I can't find it." That's it, save me from having nightmares at night."
The three of them got off the road for the first time, stepped into the snow, and walked with one foot deep and one foot shallow. Xiao Mengqi followed silently at the end of the team without saying a word, as if she was just looking for peace of mind. The phone has been waiting for a call, and she expects to catch the murderer and everything will come to an end, but she finds that Yu Zui is walking confidently, as if she knows where the correct answer is.
who is right Has the killer been caught
This question lingered in Xiao Mengqi's mind, she even forgot, in fact, she had already made a choice...
