"Let me hear you talk about it." The middle-aged policeman acted as if he was just chatting with his friends, like brothers drinking and bragging, and he didn't put any pressure on the prisoner at all.

Qian Tong seemed to be not fooled by this and started to talk: "Da Li is a young boy, but he is very thoughtful and has kept all the secrets from me. As for me, I have been in jail for a long time, so I don't ask any more questions. I just want to have an idea in my mind. After all, I am after money, and taking less means less risk. Well, it's just because I am old and want a stable life, but I am unwilling to just muddle through the rest of my life like this, so I can't think straight for a while."

His tone was a mixture of clever boasting, regret and unwillingness, but at the same time he did not forget to show a good attitude of admitting his guilt, which was impeccable.

The middle-aged policeman cooperated and said, "Everyone gets confused sometimes."

"But I've been through a lot, so I've become more careful." Qian Tong looked pleased. "Da Li doesn't know much about high-tech stuff, and he never uses a password on his phone. One day I saw him buying a lot of things online, like oxygen bottles and masks. I didn't pay much attention to it at the time, but now I think, hey, what can these things be used for?"

He lowered his voice and said with certainty: "The gold was hidden by him at the end of the lake."

The middle-aged policeman raised his eyebrows: "Is this your guess? Don't you know where the gold is?"

"I didn't know. There was no such plan." Qian Tong swore, "You know, after getting the gold, the first thing you would do is run away, right? If I had the time to hide it, I would have run away to another place. Why would I hide it and wait for you to catch me? At that time, I drove to the park to divert the police chasing me. Dali jumped out of the car halfway and said he wanted to hide the gold. You didn't catch me in the act, so you can't convict me."

"You believe it?"

Qian Tong was quite honest: "I don't believe it. Who knows if he will run away? But I have no other choice. You guys are chasing us so closely that the roads are blocked. I thought he couldn't run far without a car, so I took a gamble. And the gamble paid off. Neither of us escaped. The law is strict. I won't dare to do it again."

Several policemen exchanged glances, and one of them lowered his head and sent a text message.

"Um, police comrade, can I pee? I drank too much water and I can't hold it anymore." Qian Tong made the request.

Considering that he had just performed well, the middle-aged policeman hesitated for a moment and agreed: "Okay."

The toilet was at the end of the corridor. The middle-aged policeman handcuffed him and took him all the way to the men's toilet, never out of his sight.

Qian Tong behaved very honestly and did not make any move to delay time. After he finished, he washed his hands and wiped his pants and finished.

The middle-aged policeman's vigilance dropped a point.

The two returned to the office safely. Less than a quarter of an hour after they sat down, someone suddenly said in the headset: "A suspicious boat appeared on the lake. It might be Li Li."

The criminal investigation captain in charge said: "The lake is too large, split up to block the suspect. Groups A and B, block the dock, Group C, don't move, don't let the suspect enter the mountain."

Group B reported: "There is a shallow beach to the north, where we can go ashore directly."

There are two docks on the lake, one at the entrance and one on the south side of the camping site. There is no dock on the north side near the archery center, just an ordinary river bank, but the water is not deep and ordinary cruise ships can dock.

The middle-aged policeman winked at the other two policemen and said, "You two go over and keep an eye on them. I'm here."

"Okay." Two policemen rushed to support.

The middle-aged policeman warned Qian Tong again: "Don't play tricks. On one side, it's a sentence reduction, but on the other side, it's a serious crime. Think it through."

"Hey, hey." Qian Tong sat obediently on the sofa, as well-behaved as a primary school student.

The middle-aged policeman warned him with his eyes while paying close attention to the condition of the headset.

The person in charge of surveillance from a high altitude reported in real time: "The boat has entered the center of the lake. There is only one person on it. He is not wearing a life jacket and is wearing a hat. His face cannot be seen clearly."

"The boat was going very fast and he noticed us."

On the lake, Ji Feng stood on the deck of the lifeboat, squinting his eyes. They had already driven the engine to the maximum, tightly catching up with the boat behind them. However, no one knew what modifications had been made to the other boat, and it had a speed that was completely inconsistent with the appearance of a cruise ship. The water waves spread out like a long and thin tail.

"Faster," he urged.

The lifeboat accelerated as fast as it could and gradually approached the cruise ship.

The people on the boat turned their heads to look at them, then suddenly turned and rushed towards the mountains and forests in the northwest.

The members of Group C guarding outside the mountain received the command and slowly formed a circle towards the shore. As long as the people on the boat landed, they could press the button immediately.

Their movements were very covert, but when the boat approached the north shore, it suddenly turned and fled eastward along the shore.

Group C cried out for bad luck, but the lifeboat did not fall behind and continued to chase closely.

Ji Feng looked at the gradually shortening distance, and somehow, he did not feel the excitement he usually felt when catching a serious criminal. He was a person who always trusted his intuition, and frowned, wondering what was wrong.

Fish food. He remembered that the fish food had not been used. Wasn't it to lure away the koi so that it would be easier to get the treasure from the lake

As soon as the thought came to my mind, I saw the people on the boat opening two boxes.

In a flash, Ji Feng blurted out: "Be careful!"

Before he could finish his words, fish food was already pouring down on the lifeboat.

A large amount of fish food was scattered on the lake, attracting the greedy koi to chase and eat it. For a moment, the water near the lifeboat was occupied by koi of various colors, orange, red, and golden, densely packed, each getting in the way of the other, and opening their mouths to swallow the fish food.

The lifeboat had already slowed down rapidly, but it still hit a lot of koi. They were like overturned palettes, turning upside down one after another.

"It's over." The policeman driving the boat looked pale. "This will be very expensive to compensate."

Ji Feng sucked in a breath of cold air, it felt like the pain was being cut.

‌He’s so fucking cruel.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the boatman turned around and, when he was close to the shore, he plunged into the water. Bubbles rose up, and the man disappeared without a trace.

Ji Feng suddenly realized and turned on the headset: "That person may not be Li Li, but Zhou Bing."

Lure the tiger away from the mountain.

He quickly asked, "Lao Gao, is Qian Tong okay?"

"It's okay." The voice of the middle-aged policeman came.

Ji Feng said: "Keep an eye on him."

"Know."

Qian Tong said as he untied the shackles on his ankles and threw them aside. He turned around and urged Li Li, who was wearing cleaner's clothes: "Hurry up, I can't delay for too long."

Li Li held a jackhammer in his hand and aimed it at a newly appeared secret room in the director's office. He turned on the switch and smashed the hammer against the concrete wall, creating a hole in a short while.

Through the small hole, a small portable password box can be vaguely seen.

Qian Tong and Li Li's expressions relaxed at the same time. Yes, this was the gold they were looking for. I'm afraid no one would have thought that they put such a valuable thing in such a safe place.

To be honest, the story of the sinking to the bottom of the lake is just because I have read too many treasure hunting novels.

No matter how big the lake is, can it be safer than a safe

Everyone thought they had fled here in a panic, but that was not the case. The gold was stolen, and the police would definitely focus on investigating the stolen money. They had originally planned to hide the gold and hide for a year or two, waiting for the storm to pass before dividing the loot.

This was Qian Tong's decision after his first visit. The secret room in the director's office had the highest security level, and no one except him would come here, let alone steal the gold.

At that time, when the old building was being renovated, even if there were some abnormalities, no one would have noticed. No one could have imagined that they simply broke the cement, hid the gold in the wall, and then sealed it completely with cement, thus hiding the gold perfectly.

After they were caught, they didn't worry about Zhou Bing taking the gold for himself. The old man was old and didn't know much about high technology, let alone cracking the password of the secret room, so he had no chance to take the gold.

Qian Tong was not worried that Li Li would take the money for himself after escaping from prison. Only he could open the secret room, so both parties had to cooperate.

As it turned out, everything worked perfectly.

He used cigarette butts to convey key information of the "office" to Lao Zhou.

When Lao Zhou saw so many policemen, he must have known that they would come. He could get clues by following them and know how to cooperate with them - he didn't even have to worry about the tools. This guy must have thought of many ways in the past three years, and they were all ready.

Then, Zhou Bing pretended to be Li Li to divert the police's attention, and Li Li disguised himself as Zhou Bing and sneaked into the office. The most important thing was that he always cooperated with the police and used the fruit knife in the office to kill the middle-aged policeman Lao Gao who was guarding him.

Of course, Qian Tong anticipated that he would be questioned, so he asked his cellmate in the cell and learned some voice changing skills. It can't be said that the imitation is very lifelike, but it should be able to fool people for a while.

"Old Zhou, give us at least 20 minutes." Qian Tong urged, "Hurry up."

Li Li speeds up.

The concrete wall was not thick, and the jackhammer he used was powerful enough, so after about three or four minutes, he was able to barely get the suitcase out.

"Got it." Li Li was ecstatic.

Qian Tong's joy hadn't yet reached his face when suddenly a man came running from a distance. Although he was only wearing casual clothes, his height and leg shape were very recognizable. He recognized him at once: "Oh no, the police are back! Go!"

Li Li was surprised: "Why so fast?"

"We're exposed, let's go!" Qian Tong jumped out of the window and ran away.

Li Li followed closely behind.

The two of them jumped down, scaring Jian Jing who was hiding outside.

She hesitated: should she chase after him, or not

—Before this, let’s rewind ten minutes.

Ten minutes later, Jian Jing made up an excuse, left Cheng Jiayou and the others, and sneaked into the office. She pretended to use the restroom and walked upstairs openly.

At that time, the two policemen guarding Qian Tong happened to go out for support.

She went to the third floor, so naturally she wouldn't show up openly. She hid in the bathroom and waited and watched... Okay, actually she didn't know what to do, so she just waited and saw.

As a result, the blind cat caught a dead mouse. Not long after, she heard faint noise coming from the office.

There are only two offices on the third floor. The director lent one to the police, and no one was working in the other one. Plus, the sound insulation was good, so almost no one noticed it.

She hesitated for a moment, then carefully moved closer and leaned against the door to eavesdrop.

Li Li was in the secret room, and the thick walls filtered out the noise, but Qian Tong was on guard outside, so it was not difficult to hear the voices.

Jian Jing didn't expect that they were all here and had obtained the gold. She was shocked and quickly told Ji Feng.

Okay, back to the present tense.

Two suspects jumped out of the window and ran away. Should we chase them

While Jian Jing was thinking, her legs had already run out honestly. The third floor was not high, and her physical fitness was very good recently, so she barely managed to follow behind.

Qian Tong and Li Li were heading towards the horse farm behind.

The horse farm was very large and difficult to walk around, so a golf cart was set up. Zhou Bing didn't know where to get on the shore, and waited in a hidden place, all wet.

"Hurry, let's go into the mountains right away." When he saw the suitcase, his eyes lit up, not like a 60-year-old man at all. "I know a small path that will definitely help us get rid of the police."

The three of them got in the car and drove away in an instant.

Jian Jing was out of breath and called Ji Feng: "Where are you? He's trying to run away!"

"Save him." Ji Feng gritted his teeth and continued to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation on Lao Gao.
