Tiger Police

Chapter 421 Noodle House
The security captain agreed: "If she hadn't been waiting too long at the dried fruit counter, I guess the other party would not have been eyeing her child."

Hu Pingtao sighed: "She was too careless. The baby carriage was placed at the back, and she didn't care about anything when picking things... I saw the surveillance video in the supermarket at that time. It was a woman who stole the child. When she approached her Be very careful, pretending to be looking for something behind Tao Yunfeng, while she was not paying attention, gently pulled the car and slipped away."

There are surveillance cameras all over the mall.

After the first inspection, Hu Pingtao went to the technical department of the mall to read the surveillance video.

Because the monitoring probe is set directly above, the shooting is from a bird's-eye view angle.On the screen, the woman who stole the stroller kept her head down, and she couldn't see her specific appearance clearly. She only knew that she had a slightly fat body. She was wearing a black short-sleeved shirt and a pair of light gray trousers.

There were no accomplices at the scene, just her.

The timing is critical—one minute and nine seconds after she stole the stroller, Tao Yunfeng had already picked out the raisins, and turned around to find that the baby was gone.

Hu Pingtao said seriously to the security captain: "Combining the time Tao Yunfeng rushed to the cashier to rescue and your quick response, we can calculate that there is a high probability that the woman who stole the child is still in the mall."

"According to normal logic, people pushing baby carriages usually don't walk too fast, let alone run amok. If they do, it will only be because of the attention of the surrounding people."

"If there is something at home, she will definitely walk faster. But if she stole the child and has a ghost in her heart, she must behave as normal as possible no matter what. So from the underground supermarket to the exit on the first floor, her speed will be slower than usual Some, but not too much slower."

"There is also clothing. Criminals usually dress in a way that is easy to move about. Especially shoes. The woman who stole the child wore very fat pants, and it was not clear from the surveillance what brand and style of her shoes were. , but most likely it is sporty."

The security captain kept frowning: "But we searched everywhere upstairs and downstairs, but we couldn't find that woman. Could it be...she can fly?"

Hu Pingtao smiled slightly: "Don't worry, she must be hiding somewhere in the shopping mall. In this way, let everyone look for it again, and then adjust the previous arrangement--a group of people will be separated from the three exits on the first floor , Re-start the search of the entire shopping mall.”

"This time the search is different from the previous two. We need to separate the areas, starting from the elevator and the corridor, and search one point to control one point, especially the bathroom on each floor."

As soon as I said this, the security captain's communicator rang.He pressed the call button, and suddenly there was a noisy and disturbing excited voice.

"Captain, we found the baby carriage here at the entrance on the fourth floor."

……

Hu Pingtao and the security captain came to the designated location as quickly as possible. At the stairs leading to the fifth floor, they saw a crooked baby carriage.The style and color are exactly the same as those on the surveillance video.

Tao Yunfeng and her husband arrived soon after getting the news.

"It's my son's car. He was sitting in the car." Tao Yunfeng asked excitedly, "Where is my son? Where is he?"

Hu Pingtao comforted: "Don't worry, since the baby carriage has been found, it means that the person who stole your son must have not escaped, and is still in the mall."

The security captain agreed: "The previous analysis is correct. The shopping mall has a large area, and it takes a long way to go from the underground supermarket to the lobby on the first floor. I guess she pushed the baby carriage to the exit and found that we had closed the door. She was flustered, so she took the child upstairs and downstairs and ran around, trying to find another exit that no one was paying attention to. But then the police came and started searching. Now, take the child and hide."

Hu Pingtao looked up at the surrounding environment and asked, "Is there any surveillance around here?"

The security captain shook his head: "This is the employee passageway, and few people usually come here. There is one at the corner, but I guess I can't take pictures from that location."

Hu Pingtao analyzed: "What you said makes sense. Throwing away the car and avoiding our two searches shows that this woman is a veteran. Especially being able to steal children in the mall shows that she is very familiar with this place and knows what The place is monitored."

The security captain asked: "Then how to check now?"

Hu Pingtao said: "Divide into two teams. You lead one team down from the top floor, and I lead the other team up from the supermarket on the bottom floor. The people guarding the exits of the hall on the first floor keep vigilant, press both ends in the middle, and I will If you don’t believe me, you can’t find this person.”

"Also, focus on checking people with large bags, regardless of gender."

The security captain was stunned for a moment: "Why do you want to investigate even men?"

Hu Pingtao simply explained: "Stealing a child is most likely a gang crime. One person is responsible for doing it, and the other is responsible for taking the child away. All in all, no suspicious targets should be missed."

……

Like pulling a net, I searched the underground supermarket, but still found nothing.

Hu Pingtao stood in front of the cashier aisle. Although he was anxious, he didn't show it on his face.

Zhang Juan followed him all the time, and asked suspiciously: "I remember that the woman who stole the child was wearing a black shirt on the surveillance, but I went up and down several times, and I didn't see the woman in black."

She then added: "I ran upstairs and downstairs twice, but I didn't see any man who seemed to steal a child. Didn't you say that it might be a gang committing the crime, but I think the whole case is very serious from the beginning to the end." It's just a woman who is making trouble... Don't joke! I learned from you. There are few people, the target is small, and the success rate of the crime is high. Hehehehe, I have learned a lot in the police station these days. "

These words instantly woke up Hu Pingtao.

His eyes lit up, and he slapped his thigh suddenly: "That's right! Why didn't I think of that."

Zhang Juan asked without knowing it, "I didn't expect anything?"

"She knows how to put on makeup! As long as she changes her clothes, it will be difficult for us to judge from her appearance." Hu Pingtao gritted his teeth and said, "This guy is really cunning. No wonder we haven't been able to find her!"

After finishing speaking, he took out the communicator he got from the security department of the shopping mall: "Captain Shen, let your people pay attention, the target may have been disguised, and it is no longer what it looked like in the previous surveillance video."

The security captain's doubtful voice came from the intercom: "Disguised?"

"If I'm not wrong, she should have changed her clothes, maybe even her pants." Hu Pingtao explained: "In short, don't focus on the dress on the surveillance, just find the woman holding the baby."

He immediately added: "Also, notify the exits on the first floor to check the belongings of all guests leaving the mall."

Five-month-old babies are small enough to fit in something like a shoe box.Anyway, it's not my own child, so a layer of soft paper is laid on the bottom layer, and a few holes are opened on the side of the box, so that it can keep breathing.

As for the crying of the baby... as long as the traffickers feed them some sleeping pills, the baby will be dead and quiet all the time.

For money, some people lose their conscience.

The baby stroller has been discarded, as long as you buy a piece of clothing in the mall and dress up in disguise, there is a high chance of getting away with it.

Hu Pingtao felt slightly relaxed and instantly became tense.

I didn't think about it at all before, and I didn't find the loophole until now... Could it be that the woman who stole the child has already slipped away?
Thinking about his two sons and daughters, Hu Pingtao suddenly felt a nameless anger rushing up in his heart.

With a livid face, he turned around and strode towards the dining area on the first floor.

This woman must be found.

Human traffickers... All should be killed, all should be damned!
……

Walking along the corridor with the word "Hui", Hu Pingtao scanned every middle-aged woman with his sharp eyes.

The impression of the monitoring screen in his mind has formed a fixed memory.Although I can't see the face of the woman who stole the child clearly on the screen, but the basic figure is still accurate.

It's summer now, and even though the air conditioner is on in the shopping mall, Hu Pingtao will pay more attention to women who wear two pieces of clothing.

No matter how much a person disguises himself, there will be no change in his body.

Unless she knows the "Bone Shrinking Skill" in martial arts novels, she can also change 72 like the immortal cultivator in fantasy novels.

Korean barbecue, Kaifeng cuisine, Yoshinoya, hot and sour fat beef hot pot, coconut chicken, Gangge tea restaurant... Check them one by one in order. Hu Pingtao walked out of the German-style western restaurant that he had just seen and turned around and walked into the next door Ajisen Ramen Restaurant.

It is not a restaurant now, and there are not many customers in the store.Both men and women, a total of three, were sitting around the dining table in different positions.

There is a couple.The two were eating a bowl of noodles, not sure if it was because they didn't have enough money... But seeing how they were feeding each other noodles with chopsticks, they seemed to enjoy this semi-public world of two people.

There are four young girls who are obviously dating to go shopping together, and their dresses are a bit non-mainstream.They wore heavy smoky makeup and chattered non-stop.The meaning in the obedient words seems to be to wait for someone here, and go to the nearby slow shake after dinner.

The woman sitting in the corner caught Hu Pingtao's attention.

The restaurant area is still very large, with more than 20 tables.

Generally speaking, customers who enter the restaurant are very picky, and they give priority to seats with good air, sufficient light, and a good environment.After all, eating depends on your mood, and the influence from the environment is very important.

The woman sits in a corner against the wall, next to the entrance to the kitchen that connects to the passage.There is a black curtain hanging there, with a few eye-catching white characters on it: the important place of the kitchen, no one is allowed to enter.

At this time, the shop is very empty.

The couple and the little girls were sitting in the front of the restaurant, with six tables separated from the middle-aged female guests.The latter asked for a bowl of noodles, lowered his head, and ate in silence, scooping up the soup with a spoon from time to time and sipping it.

Hu Pingtao stared at her for a few seconds.

Seats are box style.Next to the woman was a large satchel.

She is wearing a white shirt with a camisole visible through the open neckline.The lower body is a dark blue dress.The shirt was a bit short, revealing a very fat, ring-shaped loin that was wrapped in cloth like a rubber tire.

Hu Pingtao noticed that she was wearing a pair of white sneakers, which were a bit old.

Frowning slightly, he looked carefully.In his mind, he quickly found the surveillance footage of the supermarket he had seen before—the woman who stole the child in the video was similar in figure, but her dress was very different.

The biggest difference is the hair—the woman on the surveillance video has it in a bun, and it's black.As for the long-haired shawl in front of her, most of her hair is pale blonde, which belongs to the kind that has been dyed.

With doubts in his heart, Hu Pingtao walked forward.

He noticed that the woman raised her head slightly and peeked at him.There was a little panic on his face, but he quickly controlled his emotions and returned to normal.

Walking to the dining table, Hu Pingtao pointed to the woman's bag on the chair next to her, and asked, "Is this your thing?"

He smelled a peculiar smell wafting in the air.It's like putting on a lot of makeup, or the kind of hair oil.

The woman put down the chopsticks in her hand, looked at Hu Pingtao and Zhang Juan and others standing opposite, nodded timidly, and said "Yes".

"Open it, I want to check." Hu Pingtao's tone was unquestionable.

The woman sat there without moving: "...these are the clothes I just bought, they are all new, and the tags haven't even been cut...it will get dirty."

Hu Pingtao took a step forward and issued an order: "Give me the bag, I will compensate you if it gets dirty."

The woman froze immediately, her face turned pale in an instant, she opened her mouth, and uttered the syllable "I" full of fear from the depths of her throat, but there was no follow-up.

Suddenly, Hu Pingtao stepped forward, clasped the woman's right shoulder with his right hand, released a powerful force from his whole body, and turned the woman's body over with a standard grappling movement.The other party was caught off guard, and before he could react, his entire body was pressed on the seat, and his right arm was buckled up in reverse.

"What are you going to do?"

"……what!"

"It hurts like hell, let me go...let go! My hand is going to break!"

The pain caused by the reverse upward twisting of the right arm was so intense that the woman instantly lost the ability to resist.Hu Pingtao raised his left leg and hit the woman hard on the side of the waist with his knee. She was so painful that she shed tears on the spot, her mouth was so wide that she couldn't even speak.

All this happened so quickly that Zhang Juan and the others were all stunned.Even Wang Guile didn't realize it. It wasn't until Hu Pingtao raised his leg and hit his knee that he suddenly came to his senses. He took off the handcuffs on his back and handed them over, then frantically turned on the law enforcement recorder and pointed the camera at the victim A middle-aged woman pressed on the seat.

Hu Pingtao shouted at the dazed Zhang Juan: "Quickly open her bag, the child is inside."

Hearing this, Zhang Juan woke up like a dream.

She rushed to the inside of the seat in a hurry, grabbed the bag, held it high above Hu Pingtao and the middle-aged woman, and brought it to another dining table at the side and rear.

There is a large shoe box in the bag. There are several small holes on the box cover, and the diameter is about two centimeters by visual inspection.

When Zhang Juan took the shoe box out of her bag, she found several clothes folded under the box.Available in black and light grey.
