Tiger Police

Chapter 154 Waiting
"Let him lie down!" Zhang Qingbao glanced sideways, with a look of disgust on his face, then turned around and said, "I'm not talking about you, Xiaohu, why do you care so much? A drug dealer, and he organizes large-scale There is no solution to the case of smuggling people into the country, and he will die sooner or later."

"This guy is ruthless. The man who was thrown into the pit before was from the same village as him. I asked the captives and said that it seemed that there was a quarrel over a woman. Nuo Kang must have taken a fancy to that woman, so he killed him. That man."

Just as he was talking, a patrol member ran over, holding a half-empty supply box, and brought it to Hu Pingtao, smiling, and said: "Captain, the heater and solid alcohol are under the can, I didn't find it just now, reheat it again Let's eat."

It is said to be a heater, but it is actually a simple folding camp stove.

Patrols only take dry food when they go out, but the rations provided by the border guards are different.Hu Pingtao took out the foldable heater from the box and opened it, lit the solid alcohol, took the canned luncheon meat that Zhang Qingbao had just eaten a few mouthfuls, put it on top, and soon a strong fragrance wafted out.

He handed the heated can to Zhang Qingbao, put his own can on the heater, and asked, "Have you tried Nuokang? What did that guy say?"

"He's been pretending to be dead." Zhang Qingbao curled his lips contemptuously: "Anyway, he's just lying there, pretending to be stupid and sleeping, without saying a word."

Hu Pingtao's face was gloomy: "I'll turn him over later. Although the gunshot wound on his shoulder stopped bleeding, he still has to go back to the station to be treated, and he has to go up the mountain road tomorrow... This guy is the support team. The boss has a lot of important information, don't let him die."

Zhang Qingbao chewed the meat in his mouth, and glanced at Hu Pingtao: "Since this is the case, why do you still beat him so badly?"

"I didn't know at that time!" Hu Pingtao spread his hands, his face full of innocence: "If I knew his identity, I wouldn't have used a gun and fought with him directly."

Zhang Qingbao sneered: "With your small body, how can you beat him? I saw it when I followed him. The young man who was thrown into the grass pit was much stronger than you, and his throat was cut with a knife."

Hu Pingtao swallowed the meat in his mouth, and sneered sinisterly: "How about we practice? I will let you have one hand, or let you wear a protective gear? Anyway, you will definitely lose. What about safety protection?" I don't need it at all."

The muscles on Zhang Qingbao's face twitched and he didn't answer.

When he was drinking last time, he wrestled with Hu Pingtao, and he fell behind in both strength and skill.The younger brother Zhang Qingjia was also present at the time. The two brothers really didn't understand——Hu Pingtao didn't look as good as Zhang Qingbao in terms of height or physical strength. Why did Mao have so much strength?

"Dream! I won't give you this kind of opportunity." Zhang Qingbao was worried, but he said it with confidence.

Hu Pingtao smiled casually, turned his body sideways, and turned his gaze to the women surrounded by the forest glade.

Seeing this, Zhang Qingbao suggested: "There are so many cans sent by the helicopter that we can't finish them all. Our dry food has not been touched, and it will be a burden to carry it with us tomorrow. Why don't we share some with them?"

Hu Pingtao glanced at him, his tone obviously changed: "Why?"

This question was very sudden and completely unexpected. Zhang Qingbao felt that all the words were blocked in his throat and he couldn't speak a word.

After a long time, he regrouped his words, furious and furious, frowned and said: "I mean it well, nothing else. They are all women. They have been here from the border for a whole day, and they just ate something this morning. .”

Hu Pingtao quickly replied unceremoniously: "They are not Chinese."

Zhang Qingbao was a little unhappy, and advised: "Don't be like this, they are women, they are different from us..."

Hu Pingtao immediately interrupted him: "I am the captain."

The coercive component of these words was too strong. Even though Zhang Qingbao was an old man at the border checkpoint, he was too oppressed by Hu Pingtao's aura to speak for a while.

"You can give them some water, but they are not allowed to eat." Hu Pingtao stood up and said seriously: "Tight security, and there must be no mistakes. You are on duty in the first half of the night today, and it is my turn in the second half of the night. As for those women, Eat and sleep, etc., wait until tomorrow when we are escorted to the station."

"Let them be hungry. This person will be idle when he is full, and he will have a lot of messy thoughts. These women are not kind. It is good for them to be hungry."

"Take them back to the station tomorrow, and there will definitely be a preliminary examination. They want to eat after being hungry for a long time. The regulations do say that prisoners should be treated preferentially, but now the situation is special. Where can I find food for them in the wilderness? Wait until tomorrow." Let’s talk about it later when they explain it honestly! People are sober when they’re hungry, and they won’t say things like “I can’t remember” or “I forgot” during the interrogation.”

Hu Pingtao didn't deliberately make things difficult for Zhang Qingbao, it's just that everyone has different ways of doing things.

What's more, he has his own reasons for doing so.

……

It's getting dark
Ran Hongjun returned to his office after the meeting, made a cup of strong tea, sat on a chair, and waited patiently.

It was dark, and lights were turned on in many rooms of the office building.

Although it is a high-level agency, it is different from other places. The affairs are complicated. Many backlogs and important cases must be resolved as soon as possible, and many new cases continue to come in. People in uniforms are busy every day. kind of luxury.

Ran Hongjun is a thin and handsome old man. His early years in the army kept him old habits.He is very stubborn, and will not easily change his direction, but this kind of persistence is not unreasonable stubbornness, but a choice made among many clues and information.

The tea has been brewed twice.He stood up, poured out the remaining tea, and got a new cup.

While flipping through the documents, his gaze always falls on the landline at the front of the desk intentionally or unintentionally.

There is a big difference between the public security system and the army, but Ran Hongjun always believes that apart from strictly enforcing discipline and acting in accordance with the law, the two are the same in other respects.

There are two parts in this world, light and dark, and there are good people and bad people.

Desire is the direct cause of crime, which means a battle of wits between criminals and the police.No one wants to be arrested, and if they kill someone, they will try to escape the crime.Theft, robbery, rape, fraud... are all the same.As the saying goes: the road is one foot tall, the devil is one foot tall, and the battle between the police and the robbers has always been endless.

Not all cases can be revealed to the world. The detection rate of cases all over the world is similar. Especially with the progress of the times, the IQ of criminals is online, and various equipment and high-tech crime methods emerge in endlessly. The painstaking efforts of those who make the riddle will always exceed those who set up the riddle, and not just anyone can successfully kill the beast of the Sphinx.

The discovery of female corpses one after another in the eastern coastal area has attracted great attention from above.Regardless of the identity and nationality of the deceased, the nature of the case itself is extremely bad.

The Southern Zhejiang Provincial Department dispatched a task force and a large number of police forces to investigate. Although the suspect was not caught, some clues were found.

All the spearheads are directed at Yunnan Province, especially the southwestern border.

No matter who is in power, everyone hopes that all industries in their jurisdiction will prosper and the people will live and work in peace and contentment.

Ran Hongjun was very angry, but no matter how angry he was, it was useless—Dian Province was located in a special area, bordering many neighboring countries. The long border line was difficult to control absolutely, and the complex terrain could not form an effective patrol mechanism.The border checkpoints have tried their best, but they still can't achieve absolute prohibition. There are always times when everything is secret.

Yunnan Province has always been the hardest-hit area for such cases. However, as the country's economic level has greatly improved in recent years, and it has also given great support to the police in terms of equipment and funds, the situation is much better now than before.

Most of the time, Ran Hongjun held his breath and vowed to catch all these damned criminals, solve a few major cases, show them to colleagues in other provinces, and win face for the police in Yunnan Province.

Clues matter.

From receiving the news at noon until now, Ran Hongjun's heart has been suspended high, and he can't let it go.

He knew very well that whether he could catch this smuggling group would depend on the next few hours.

Long before Hu Pingtao accepted the last mission, he was dispatched to the Xiluo checkpoint.This is a normal procedure. All reserve cadres must go to the grassroots level, and the police are no exception.

Ran Hongjun knew that Hu Pingtao's ability was very good, but whether it was entering the "Northern Security Force" to complete the hidden mission, or the previous praise of his work ability by the provincial public security bureau, it was far less direct than what he felt now.

After all, I heard what others said, and I saw it through the written materials reported step by step.

Just this morning, Hu Pingtao led a patrol team to conduct a normal inspection, and found the footprints of the border crossers, and used this as a comparison to pursue them all the way.

These clues all indicate that they are related to the murders in the eastern coastal cities.

Ran Hongjun has extremely high expectations for this.

He issued one order after another.

Whether it's quickly dispatching police forces from the prefecture-state system or requesting support from the border guards, Ran Hongjun requires every link to play a role in guaranteeing Hu Pingtao's patrol team.

I did everything I could.

Next, is to wait patiently.

Very tormented.

Very anxious.

Suddenly, there was a rhythmic knock on the door outside.

Ran Hongjun immediately stood up from his chair with a "whoosh" and said loudly in an excited tone of anticipation: "Come in."

He didn't notice at all that his voice trembled slightly.

The door was pushed open from the outside, and it was his familiar assistant.The other party walked into the room and delivered a document to the table.

"Ran Hall, this is the work arrangement for the next quarter in the hall. Please sign after reading it." The other party said respectfully.

Ran Hongjun felt as if a basin of cold water had been poured on his head and face, and the burning flame in his heart was suddenly extinguished.He was a little embarrassed, and sat down slowly, wanting to look through the documents, but he didn't have that thought, so he could only say: "...Leave it for now, and I'll call you after I read the signatures."

The visitor saluted, turned around and walked towards the open door.

Ran Hongjun couldn't help shouting: "Xiao Li, wait a minute."

The assistant turned around and asked suspiciously, "Ran Ting, what's wrong?"

"Is there any news from the Xiluo border checkpoint?" Ran Hongjun asked directly.Sometimes the following will directly call the relevant department in the hall for notification, and the news from my side often lags behind.

"No." The assistant immediately understood what Ran Hongjun meant.He shook his head and said seriously: "Ran Ting, don't worry, I will call you as soon as I have any news."

Ran Hongjun nodded, forced a smile on his face, and waved his hands: "Okay, that's it, go get busy!"

The room was quiet again.

He smiled self-deprecatingly, shook his head and sighed, reaching for the teacup on the table.

Things like work plans can be viewed at any time, which is not the point.

"Am I a little overwhelmed?" Ran Hongjun took a sip of his tea and said to himself.

The moment he put the teacup back on the table, the landline at the front of the desk suddenly rang.

Ran Hongjun was caught off guard, tilted his hand, and the cup fell over. The boiled tea leaves and tea water spilled all over the table, dripping everywhere.

He didn't have time to tidy up, so he stood up in a panic, grabbed the microphone as quickly as possible, and said in the same expectant and excited tone: "I am Ran Hongjun."

On the other end of the microphone came Liu Guangbei, the station chief of the Xiluo Border Inspection Station, with a hasty and joyful voice: "Reporting to Ranting Hall, I am Liu Guangbei. We're caught, we're all caught."

"Be more detailed, I want accurate data." Ran Hongjun held the microphone tightly, and he felt his heart beating faster.

"The results of the battle are being counted, and the detailed figures will take some time to report. The border guards have provided a lot of help. The army aviation troops have been searching around the encirclement, but no escapees have been found." Liu Guangbei took a breath and continued: "The scene A large quantity of drugs and weapons were also found."

Ran Hongjun took a deep breath, and his brows that had been locked for a long time were completely relaxed: "Tell me, what do you need now? Personnel deployment, or supplies?"

Liu Guangbei replied: "Today is too late. It takes more than two hours to walk from the arrest site to the border checkpoint. Marching at night is very dangerous, and the helicopter cannot land at the site, so we can only stay there for one night. Tomorrow morning, bring back the captured smugglers and those involved in the case.”

Ran Hongjun looked serious: "Can you ensure safety?"

"Absolutely safe." Liu Guangbei's tone was very affirmative: "Two patrol teams have arrived at the arresting site, and reinforcements from the No. They are fully armed elites. They have set up three cordons, and the main criminals are isolated and imprisoned without any problems."
