Tiger Police

Chapter 178
Hu Pingtao's white "Toyota" has the tail number 22.

Wang Xuexin was in charge of driving, and the speed was neither fast nor slow, but within the prescribed speed limit.His driving skills are good, and Hu Pingtao is watching from the side, and he has never had any violations such as pressing the line.

The car quickly left the third ring road, got on the expressway, and headed north all the way.

Hu Pingtao asked suspiciously: "Brother Hong, are we going to the north?"

Hong Zongyuan smiled and said: "There is a good restaurant in the neighboring county. It serves loach and tofu. I'll take you there to try it."

Neighboring county?

Could it be the small county in the north?
Hu Pingtao's eyes were slightly concentrated, and he was still in a state of excitement on the surface, but he was actually thinking silently.

After exiting the Hengshan Tunnel, looking at the roadside signs, Hong Zongyuan suddenly raised his hand and patted Wang Xuexin on the driver's seat in front.

"Ah Xin, turn down at the intersection ahead."

Wang Xuexin turned according to his words, slowed down and went up the corridor.After passing the toll booth, according to Hong Zongyuan's request, drive into the gas station on the side of the road.

The three got out of the car, and Wang Xuexin said, "Brother Hong, I'm going to refuel."

Hong Zongyuan nodded, turned around and said with a smile to Hu Pingtao, "I'm so suffocated. Hahahaha... let's go, let's pee!"

After finishing the convenience, the two walked out of the bathroom, and Hu Pingtao looked at the sky, it was almost four o'clock in the afternoon.

He put his hand into his trouser pocket, took out the cigarette case, and handed it to Hong Zongyuan with a flattering smile: "Brother Hong, here is one."

Hong Zongyuan looked at the cigarette handed in front of him and reached out to catch it. Before Hu Pingtao could react, he squeezed the cigarette case a few times and threw it into the trash can beside him.

Seeing this, Hu Pingtao asked without knowing it: "Brother Hong, why are you..."

"Do you still have cigarettes on you?" Hong Zongyuan asked back.

"...It's gone." Hu Pingtao patted his empty trouser pocket.

"Give me your lighter." Hong Zongyuan stretched out his hand and continued.

Hu Pingtao probably understood the other party's intentions, and without saying anything, he took out the lighter and handed it over.

Hong Zongyuan held it in his hand, looked carefully, and threw it into the trash can.

He smiled and hugged Hu Pingtao's shoulder: "Don't worry, I'm used to it. It's not easy to ask for cigarettes, come with me."

Walking into the chain supermarket next to the gas station, Hong Zongyuan ordered a boutique "Yuxi", took two lighters from the shelf next to the cashier, and handed them to Hu Pingtao.

Previous body searches, cigarettes and lighters do not count.

After getting into the car, Hu Pingtao tore open the outer packaging of the cigarettes, threw two packs to Wang Xuexin, and said with a smile, "Brother Hong invites us to smoke for free."

Wang Xuexin took it with a smile, turned around and said with a smile, "Thank you Brother Hong."

Hong Zongyuan waved his hands, lowered his voice, and said lightly, "Ah Xin, take the old road from the fork in the east."

Looking at Wang Xuexin who started the engine and turned around as instructed, Hu Pingtao couldn't help turning around and asked curiously: "Brother Hong, didn't you say you're going to eat in a neighboring county?"

"I've changed my mind." Hong Zongyuan smiled, showing no change in emotion: "Take the old road, there is a restaurant with good stewed chicken, let's go there for dinner."

……

Binhai City, command center.

Feedback from various monitoring teams and traffic control centers indicated that all vehicles began to turn.

Wang Yongjiang looked at the time on his watch: 28:[-] pm.

Cao Yong looked at the big screen, raised his left elbow with his right hand, and slowly pinched his chin: "They all turned around... Looking at this direction, it should be returning to the city?"

Wang Yongjiang said: "The monitoring shows that these cars have all been refueled on the road."

Cao Yong understood: "Are they going to drive a long way next?"

"So their destination should not be in the city." Wang Yongjiang pointed to the big screen and said seriously: "Car No. 36 turns to the south, car No. 72 turns to the east, and car No. 22 and 36 also go east. The difference is that No. 22 and No. On the [-]nd, get off the expressway from two forks and take the old road."

Cao Yong instantly discovered the pattern: "Ju Wang, I'll ask the technical department to calculate the possible concentration points immediately."

According to the vehicle type, fuel tank capacity, speed, road conditions and other information, the concentration range of these vehicles can basically be calculated.Although it is difficult to achieve absolute accuracy, it is possible to concentrate forces within the forecast range and arrange in advance.

"Go!" Wang Yongjiang looked serious, but he was looking forward to it.

This is a big case, both Hong Zongyuan and Jin Shouchang have moved, and the other party's actions are so careful, no matter who it is, it is a little difficult to control themselves.

……

The road condition of the old road can only be described as average.The roadside was overgrown with weeds, the asphalt pavement had large cracks, and there were old and new traces of filling everywhere, uneven.

The speed of the car inevitably slowed down.

After driving for more than an hour, it was almost dusk.

Holding the steering wheel, Wang Xuexin suddenly said, "Brother Hong, there are cars following us."

The atmosphere in the car suddenly became tense.

Hu Pingtao and Hong Zongyuan subconsciously turned their heads and looked at the rear window at the same time.

There was indeed a silver-gray car, BYD, about 200 meters away, and the license plate could not be seen clearly.

Hong Zongyuan looked at it for a while, then turned around and asked Wang Xuexin, "How long have you been following?"

"More than ten minutes!" Wang Xuexin said without turning his head while controlling the steering wheel, "This road is narrow. I deliberately gave way twice and kept slowing down, but it didn't overtake, so it just followed behind."

Hu Pingtao thought for a while and said, "A lot of the previous road sections were roundabouts. I guess the guy driving the car is not very skilled. He wanted to overtake but didn't dare to overtake."

As he spoke, he turned sideways to Hong Zongyuan in the back seat: "Brother Hong, the road ahead is very straight, why don't we try it?"

These words reached Hong Zongyuan's heart.He nodded and told Wang Xuexin: "Ah Xin, just as Ah Heng said, you go to a wider place in front and slow down the speed of the car, and see if the car behind continues to follow."

Wang Xuexin slowed down as he said, and BYD quickly passed by on the left, bringing up a cloud of dust.

Looking at the car in the distance, Hu Pingtao smiled and said: "It seems that we are thinking too much."

The BYD was indeed following, and Hu Pingtao saw a familiar sign at the rear of the car—a small silver butterfly that seemed to be used as a decoration on the car body.

This is the sign of agreement.

Tracking is a science. When the target becomes suspicious and makes some evasive actions, it must give up without hesitation.

Hu Pingtao believes that in addition to this BYD, there should be a second group or even a third group as an auxiliary and supplement.

Half an hour later, the "Toyota" drove into a roadside farm.

It is said to be a farm, but it feels a bit like an orchard.The outside is surrounded by cement stakes and iron wires. There are many fruit trees planted inside, but the fruits are very small. It seems that the management is usually neglected. There is also a rice field facing north.Wang Xuexin drove the car into the garden, and there was a two-story building on the side.Hong Zongyuan got out of the car, and when he passed by the co-pilot, he raised his hand and knocked on the window: "Aheng, come down and help."

Hu Pingtao quickly unfastened his seat belt and opened the car door, walking, looking, and asking like a curious baby: "Brother Hong, what is this place?"

"Warehouse." Hong Zongyuan's answer was simple.

The building is old and the tiles are peeling off in large swaths, showing signs of the rain.Seemingly uninhabited, there is an uncomfortable sense of dilapidation.

Wang Xuexin also got off the Toyota car. He trotted to the first floor of the building, took out the key to open the shutter door, and pushed it hard.

This is a garage with a black "Santana" parked in it.

Wang Xuexin drove the Santana out and drove the Toyota in.

When he was doing this, Hong Zongyuan took Hu Pingtao up to the second floor.

Two large rolls of plastic film were stacked in the hallway.Walking into the room, Hu Pingtao saw hundreds of neatly stacked cardboard boxes, and the trademarks on the outer packaging showed that they were luncheon meat and canned dace with tempeh.

"Hurry up, carry two boxes of each kind and put them in the car." Hong Zongyuan made arrangements, turned around and walked out, took out the key and opened the door of the next room.

That room was also full of food boxes, the civilian version of compressed biscuits commonly found in supermarkets.

Hu Pingtao picked up two boxes of canned luncheon meat, strode out of the room, and asked Hong Zongyuan pretending to be ignorant: "Brother Hong, are we going to change cars?"

Hong Zongyuan nodded: "Yes. Put things in Santana's trunk... By the way, there is mineral water in the garage on the first floor, take a box with you."

More than ten minutes later, the fully equipped black Santana slowly drove out of the manor and onto the road.

……

Binhai City, command center.

Standing in front of the big screen, Wang Yongjiang frowned.

In the past period of time, the situation has changed suddenly.

Six teams reported missing their targets.

Some stared at Hong Zongyuan, and some stared at Jin Shouchang.There were ten cars in total, and six of them were lost at once.

Why is this happening?

You must know that the police are experts in tracking. Even if there are too many targets to take into account, it is still reasonable to lose a car or two.Such a [-]% chance of disappearance is simply unimaginable.

Li Shengbin trotted in from outside the command room, holding a document in his hand, and panting to Wang Yongjiang: "Director Wang, we have checked repeatedly, and no missing vehicles were found in the monitoring area."

"Damn it!" The anxiety on Wang Yongjiang's face instantly turned ferocious.He exhaled thick turbid air from his nostrils, and said to himself unwillingly and eagerly: "They disappeared under our noses... Could it be that they can fly?"

Cao Yong has been paying attention to the data displayed on the monitoring screen.He thought about it all over his face, and said seriously: "Ju Wang, I think there are two possibilities. The first one: Jin Shouchang and Hong Zongyuan found out that someone was following them, so they canceled the operation. The second one: Blocking the line of sight was originally their plan. As for why? The following car disappeared all of a sudden, could it be that the car was changed halfway?"

"The first option is unlikely." Although Wang Yongjiang was impatient, he maintained a calm head: "The goals of the Jinshouchang Group are nothing more than drugs and the acceptance of overseas smugglers. No matter which one is, it requires long-term planning. and arrangements. Especially in terms of time, the two ends of the transportation must be well connected, and there should be no big errors before and after. Otherwise, as long as there is a breach of trust, it will be too difficult to re-communicate and obtain understanding.”

"So it can only be the second one you mentioned. They hid their tracks in some way. There is a high possibility of changing vehicles. Because they are tracking on the same road section, the chances of being detected by the target are very high. 200 meters, or even 300 meters They are all applicable distances, but it is difficult not to attract the attention of the other party if you linger in the front and rear positions of the same car for a long time."

"Under normal circumstances, we arrange double-vehicle tracking and cooperate with each other for long and short distances. This will cause visual errors to the other party. But this has great limitations. Once discovered, one of the vehicles must withdraw from the action. And this approach can only be aimed at one target.”

"There is a line-of-sight between the two front and rear vehicles. If the target changes vehicles and the vehicle behind has not yet entered the effective line-of-sight range, the tracking will fail."

"These people are very cunning. There is a high probability that they changed cars halfway. The key point now is to find out what kind of car they changed, a big car or a small car? This is the key, and it is also the core of understanding Jin Shouchang's operation."

"If it's a small car, it corresponds to drugs. If it's a big car, it corresponds to a smuggling group."

Li Shengbin thought for a moment, and put forward his own opinion: "They circled such a big circle in and out of the city, will the final direction be the seaside?"

This sentence awakened Wang Yongjiang and Cao Yong.

"Yeah! Regardless of drugs or foreign smuggling, the east coast is the most suspicious direction."

Wang Yongjiang felt his brain thinking suddenly clear: "The line on the southwestern border has been knocked out, the north is impossible, and the road to the south is also broken. According to the information that Heiyu sent out several times before and after, the Jinshouchang Group can be synthesized through chemical deployment. Meth, but the drug market is severely polarized, and buyers of heroin and methamphetamine have different preferences. In business, the customer is the most important thing. It is impossible for Jin Shouchang to get heroin from China, so he can only ship it in from the east.”

Cao Yong nodded slightly: "This line also applies to the smuggling of overseas personnel."

"Notify the anti-smuggling brigade immediately and ask them to step up their patrols." Wang Yongjiang told Li Shengbin: "Especially tonight and tomorrow, this is the most important time."

"Okay, I'll notify the customs right now." Li Shengbin nodded in agreement, turned and walked out of the command center.

As soon as they reached the door, a policeman with a document just ran in, and the two bumped into each other face to face.

Li Shengbin stepped sideways to clear the way, and the policeman strode up to Wang Yongjiang, and said cheerfully: "Ju Wang, good news, the lost target has been found."

Wang Yongjiang and Cao Yong were shocked immediately, and asked at the same time: "Where did you find it?"

They knew very well that the so-called "target" was not ordinary, but the white Toyota that Hu Pingtao was riding in.

The reason is simple: when the four vehicles left the dormitory of "Changda Economic and Trade Company", they analyzed the portraits of the drivers and the occupants through surveillance cameras installed nearby, and identified Wang Xuexin, Hu Pingtao and Hong Zongyuan. identity of.

Among them, Hong Zongyuan is the most important.

Hu Pingtao, the "black fish", will stick to him no matter what.

Even if the other nine cars are all lost, as long as this white Toyota is still there, there is a possibility of a comeback.

"Route 33."
