Far away in Moscow

Chapter 267 Raise Your Hands
The people in the police car behind were yelling through the loudspeaker, but the wind noise brought by the high speed made it impossible for Hu Yi to hear what was being said in the rattling loudspeaker.

"What... what should I do?" Li Baoqing stepped on the gas pedal with his right foot: "Stop the car? Or continue to run and get rid of them?"

"Just relying on your two knives who can only step on the accelerator and run in a straight line? Do you still want to get rid of him?" Hu Yi pointed impatiently ahead: "Just pull over and stop! Be nicer later, it's really impossible Just put some money in."

The turn signal came on, Li Baoqing lightly turned the steering wheel, and slowly parked the car on the side of the road.The police car slowed down and passed by their car, and made a cross ten meters ahead of the front of the car. The police lights kept flashing, but no one got out of the car.

"What's the matter? What do you mean?" Hu Yi and Li Baoqing looked at each other wonderingly: "Did they chase us? Why didn't anyone come over?"

"Go down and take the initiative to admit your mistakes?" Li Baoqing stretched out his hand to open the door: "Be lenient when you confess, but strict when you resist. I don't know if the old man will accept this trick."

"Don't worry." Hu Yi held him back: "The atmosphere doesn't seem right. Listen, what are they saying—raise your hands and don't move?"

"It's enough to make a big fuss." Li Baoqing put his hands on the steering wheel resentfully: "It's all your fault, I have to stop, maybe I just put them in fifth gear and dumped them."

"Shut up! You can't even tell the difference between the gas pedal and the brakes. Maybe you'll take me with you and crash the car." Hu Yi spat, thinking about how to talk to the police later, another car The police car chased after them and stopped behind them at an angle to the previous police car.

"There are reinforcements?" Hu Yi muttered in a daze, and when the doors of two police cars opened, the four policemen hid behind the doors and looked carefully at this side, and then shouted a few words to each other. With a gun in hand, he quickly surrounded him.

"No, no, no... can't you?" Li Baoqing shuddered: "They are... this is...?"

Before the words fell, the two policemen in front bowed their waists and raised their guns to stand still, and gestured to their companions.Immediately afterwards, the left and right car doors were slammed open simultaneously, and the other two police officers shouted in unison: "Don't move! Hands up! Lower your body! Come out! Slowly!"

"Okay! Let's not move!" Hu Yi and Li Baoqing turned their bodies slightly, and landed on the ground with one foot out of the car. They just got up and poked their heads out, but they were immediately pulled out by the back of their necks.

"Get down! Get down!" Hu Yi only felt a cold gun barrel pressed against his cheek, and the faint pungent smell produced by the long-term mixing of gun oil and gunpowder smoke was very refreshing.The policeman with the gun seemed a little nervous, and the muzzle of the gun was trembling slightly against his face.

"I'm getting down! You... you relax, don't get excited!" Hu Yi squatted down slowly, and took advantage of the situation to lie on the ground and hug his head with his hands.

Peeking out, the person next to him holding an AK-74 automatic rifle is a young policeman with freckles. He may have been in a hurry when he got out of the car just now. The big cap on his head is slightly tilted up, revealing the light yellow zebra crossing bangs , there was a bit of panic that couldn't be concealed in the vigilant eyes, it seemed that he hadn't dealt with this situation much.

On the other side, Li Baoqing and Hu Yi had similar postures. A slightly older policeman half-kneeled on the ground with one knee against his waist and eyes, pointed a gun at the back of his head and asked sharply, "Who are you?!"

"Student! I'm a student!" Li Baoqing lay on the ground without daring to move a bit: "I have a certificate! It's in my pocket!"

"I'm a student too!" Hu Yi reluctantly smiled at the little policeman beside him: "I also have a certificate for a student who just graduated!"

The older policeman shook his head at the two colleagues at the front of the car. They came over and searched Hu Yi and Li Baoqing carefully, took out their documents and looked through them, and said with a low laugh: "They are Chinese."

"Chinese?" The older policeman softened his tone slightly, stretched out his hand and looked at Li Baoqing's face for a moment, then asked, "Where did this car come from?!"

"The car is mine." Hu Yi hurriedly replied, "I bought it!"

"Bought it? Where did you buy it?!"

"A friend sold it to me!"

"Friend? Who is he? What does he do?!"

"It's a businessman from Azerbaijan!"

"Azerbaijani businessman?" The old policeman hesitated for a moment, and winked at his colleague: "Go and see."

The two police officers who searched the car just now got into the car and turned it upside down. They opened the hood and trunk and checked it carefully. They took off the big cap and wiped their sweat: "Everything is normal, nothing suspicious was found."

The older policeman breathed a sigh of relief, and then pointed his gun forward again: "Why did you run away when you saw the policeman just now? Tell me!"

"Escape? No, no!" Li Baoqing explained with a smile on his face: "I just learned to drive, and I mistook the accelerator for a brake, and accidentally ran a red light. I'm afraid... um... I'm afraid... Anyway, it's a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding!"

"You idiot driver! What's the big deal about running a red light! We're not traffic police! Why run away!" The elderly policeman put his gun on his shoulder, stood up and laughed with his two colleagues, and stretched his feet in front of Li Baoqing. A light kick on the buttocks: "Get up! Idiot! Let us have a false alarm!"

Li Baoqing broke into a cold sweat from this little farce, got up in shock and smiled at the police.The little policeman next to Hu Yi still refused to move his gun, and asked vigilantly and suspiciously: "Mr. Warrant Officer! Are they really...not terrorists?"

"My dear comrade policeman, have you ever seen a Chinese who is engaged in terrorist activities?" The warrant officer walked around to Hu Yi with a smile: "Anyway, I have never seen one in these years of work. Alright, let him go."

"Yes." The little policeman hesitated for a moment, took a step back with his rifle on his back, and straightened his cap: "Please get up."

"You think the two of us are terrorists? It's too funny." Hu Yi felt absurd in his heart, and felt a little unhappy.He got up and patted the dirt on his body, frowned and said with a smile: "Dear police comrades, isn't this a big misunderstanding? You don't always regard idiot drivers who run red lights as terrorists, do you?"

"Normally, of course not. It needs to be analyzed according to the specific situation." The warrant officer unhurriedly lit a cigarette: "First of all, you shouldn't let an idiot be your driver. Well, by the way, he Do you have a driver's license?"

"I...not." Li Baoqing rubbed his hands on his clothes anxiously.

"Here, then take the test as soon as possible, and improve your driving skills by the way, no problem?" The warrant officer squinted at him, and then looked at Hu Yi meaningfully: "Second, since you drive such a car, you can drive on the road. Just behave yourself and don't make trouble for yourself, okay?"

"Okay, I will." Seeing that he didn't intend to entangle Li Baoqing's driver's license, Hu Yi hurriedly nodded with a smile, and then was stunned for a moment: "You mean my car...is there any problem?"

"It's not the problem with the car, it's the license plate." The warrant officer bent down and pointed at his license plate: "Your car has a Chechen license plate. When you see the police, you run a red light and run away. Why aren't the police alert? Why aren't they chasing you?" ?”

Russian cars use numbers to identify their locations. Hu Yi didn't care much about these things before, so he never got to know them seriously.

Azerbaijan belongs to the same Caucasus region as Chechnya, which is located at the southernmost tip of Russia.Like many Azerbaijani businessmen who came to Russia in the early years, Mr. Abasaf from Lyublino first went to Chechnya and several surrounding Russian republics to do business, and bought this Opel sedan at that time.

Later, wars continued frequently in southern Russia, so he drove to Moscow to seek another development, but the number on the license plate was still the Republic of Chechnya.

Since the two Chechen wars in the 90s, Chechen militants have become increasingly rampant in Russia, and various terrorist attacks have been numerous.As small as countless bombing incidents in public places such as subways, bus stations, and restaurants; as large as the hostage crisis at the Bolshoi Theater that shocked the world, the Beslan Middle School hostage tragedy with heavy casualties, and even the suicide bombing at the Moscow airport that occurred later, almost all It was planned and implemented by Chechen terrorists.

So today, the name Chechnya has gradually become a symbol of terrorism.In the eyes of many Russians, horse bandits, thieves, and terrorists are the most abundant in Chechnya. Even those Chechens who have legitimate livelihoods are bound to have explicit or covert ties with such fellow villagers, so they are respected and kept at a distance by ordinary people. .

In this social environment, the police naturally have to pay special attention to them.However, many Chechens have poured into Moscow in recent years, and there are not a few vehicles with Chechen license plates on the streets and alleys. Most of them are still law-abiding on the surface, so the police usually don’t pay attention to them deliberately.

Today is pure coincidence.The two police officers in the first police car were patrolling the street at night. They were chatting boredly while looking around, and inadvertently saw an Opel car slowly approaching from the rearview mirror.

The two policemen didn't take it seriously at first, but when the car drove nearby, it suddenly slammed the gas pedal and sped away through the red light intersection.This abnormal behavior caught the attention of the two policemen. They saw the Chechen license plate on the Opel, and they immediately raised their vigilance.

The two reported the situation to another nearby patrol car through the walkie-talkie, and then drove closely behind until the suspicious vehicle was forced to stop on the side of the road.The police thought that the person in the car was a dangerous terrorist, perhaps carrying weapons and explosives. Unexpectedly, they rushed to the front of the car on full alert, but found only two ordinary Chinese.

A misunderstanding was resolved, and two police cars left one after another. Hu Yi severely taunted Li Baoqing and sent him home.

In the following days, Hu Yi drove this classic car with a Chechen license plate to go in and out of various places in Moscow. Although it was inevitable that he would sometimes be jealous and cold-eyed, it also saved him from many unnecessary troubles.
