Chapter 85
The people in the yard fiddled with the lights for a long time, but couldn't get them to come back on. Looking at a few houses in the distance still glowing with light, someone in the darkness said, "Let's call the landlord and have him come over. Maybe the wiring in this crappy place is out of order."
No one objected to this suggestion, so the man continued, "Pick up what needs to be picked up. I'll make the phone call."
About half an hour later, someone knocked on the large double-door steel door from outside. A skinny man walked up and opened the door, cursing, "Come on, aren't you too slow?"
Outside the door, Tan Hailong stood there trembling, his smile very forced: "I'm so sorry, I was already asleep when you called, and I have to look for tools and other things..."
"Okay, stop talking nonsense with him. Hurry up and get someone in to fix the circuit. Brother Rat should be back soon." Someone shouted from a few steps away.
The skinny man stopped talking and stepped aside to make room for the door.
"etc?!"
Tan Hailong had just entered the yard when he was stopped by someone. It was the same skinny man who looked at him and the people behind him with unfriendly eyes: "Why did you bring people here?"
"Ah, this is my nephew. He lives next to Chunhua Barber Shop. The circuits in the factory are too complicated and the area is so large. I heard you guys were anxious on the phone, so I thought of bringing someone over to help me." Tan Hailong explained hurriedly.
"Next to Chunhua Barber Shop... He looks unfamiliar." The skinny man seemed a little unconvinced, and his suspicious eyes kept wandering around Tan Hailong's nephew.
"He had been working outside before, and he just came back about a month ago. But it's not surprising that he doesn't look familiar to me. After he came back, he often played poker in Lao Liu's supermarket." Tan Hailong's words were well-reasoned, with both time and place mentioned, making it easy for people to believe.
These words were naturally taught to him by the police in advance. Lin Jiafan was betting that these shady guys would never go out and wander around the village on weekdays. Even if they wanted to, Lu Deshu would not allow it.
"Come in, hurry up. This crappy place has water leaks today and power outages tomorrow. Who else would rent it except our boss? You old man can just be happy in secret!" The skinny man finally let the two of them in.
In an inconspicuous black car on the roadside outside the factory, Luo Jingyao was sitting with three people from the special investigation team, listening to the "live broadcast" sent back by the communication equipment on the special police officer who had sneaked in with Tan Hailong.
During this time, Guo Zhen couldn't hide his worry and said aloud: "Captain Lin, is it okay for him to go in alone with Tan Hailong?"
"Going in further will only arouse suspicion. Once he sees He Jinzhe and Guo Guo inside and confirms that this gang has committed a crime, the tear gas he carries with him will come in handy."
Lin Jiafan glanced at the time as he said this: "The support will arrive in 20 minutes. It should be in time. If everything goes well, it won't be a problem to make a complete mess of the people inside."
"Besides, from what that person just said, Lu Deshu isn't in there right now..." Lin Jiafan paused, then picked up the walkie-talkie at hand: "Number One, try to delay while searching for evidence. The big fish hasn't been caught yet."
Soon, two dry coughs were heard from the opposite side, indicating that the undercover special police inside had received the order.
Lin Jiafan then ordered: "Brother Guo, Pan Chang, you two will take this special police team to positions 2 and 3 first."
Guo Zhen and Pan Chang responded almost at the same time, and after getting off the car, their figures quickly disappeared into the night.
Luo Jingyao, who watched the whole process, huddled in the passenger seat as quietly as a chicken, even trying to maintain a regular breathing rhythm, for fear that any mistake would disrupt Lin Jiafan's thinking and affect the overall layout of the police.
Lin Jiafan, who had come to his senses, naturally noticed her abnormality. He found it funny but didn't say much. After all, now was not a good time.
For a moment, silence spread in the car, and the only sound coming from the communication system was the rustling sound of fabric rubbing against each other.
After an unknown amount of time, the undercover SWAT officer's deliberately subdued voice suddenly rang out, his tone hurried: "Captain Lin, I think I saw He Jinzhe! But the lighting in here is so poor, I can't be 100% sure."
"Big Fish hasn't come back yet, so stay calm first. Have you found any trace of Guoguo?" Lin Jiafan asked while comforting her.
"There was a room I just went into under the pretext of looking for damaged circuits, but they found me and chased me away. There were no windows in that room, only one door, and there wasn't anything unusual going on inside."
"There are also two vans parked in the yard, with license plate numbers Tianjin KNB462 and Tianjin AY2583." The undercover special police officer had just finished speaking when shouts were heard from the other side.
It seemed that Tan Hailong said that he had found a suspected damage point and asked him to go over and take a look, so the undercover special police hurriedly ended the call.
Lin Jiafan sent the two license plate numbers to Pang Guang. The young man should be coordinating with the traffic police department to borrow their traffic monitoring system, so they checked them together.
If these two cars had appeared near Black Wind Mountain before, it would also indirectly prove that there was a certain connection between Lu Deshu's gang and Guoguo's kidnapping.
Just as he lowered his head to send the message, a blinding light came from the corner ahead.
Luo Jingyao, who was sitting in the passenger seat, was startled and moved faster than she could think to lean over to Lin Jiafan, just meeting the man's lowered eyes.
Ignoring the surprise in the other person's eyes, she reached out and touched the seat adjuster on the driver's seat, gripped it hard and pulled it up!
Plop!
The two of them fell heavily down along with the seat backs. At this time, lights flashed outside the window, and there was the sound of engines of moving vehicles. Luo Jingyao could only lie on Lin Jiafan without daring to move, and even her breathing stopped.
Finally, the car drove past safely. She then stood up using her hands and feet, and watched through the rear window as the car stopped outside the factory gate and honked its horn twice.
"Is Lu Deshu back?!" Luo Jingyao asked anxiously. When she turned around, she was surprised to find that Lin Jiafan was still lying on his back in the same position as before.
"Don't worry, if it's him, the colleagues inside will find a way to inform him." Lin Jiafan lay there, looking at her with a meaningful look: "So what did Coach Luo mean just now?"
"I...his...car...headlights are shining towards me and I'm afraid of being discovered. Lu Deshu can do what he has today, he is not a fool. Two living people guarding outside his lair in the middle of the night is very suspicious, okay!" Luo Jingyao widened her eyes and encouraged herself in her heart.
Lin Jiafan first returned the seat to its original position with an expressionless face, then raised his arm and flicked the car window with his slender fingers. "Coach Luo, do you know something called privacy film? Although our Jinshi Public Security Bureau's daily budget is not very sufficient, it is not so poor."
“…”
Luo Jingyao pursed her lips and looked away as if nothing had happened.
The phone rang at this moment and she successfully breathed a sigh of relief. After Lin Jiafan answered the phone, Guo Zhen's voice came. It turned out that the two special police teams sent by the Municipal Bureau had arrived, and he and Pan Chang had also arranged the support.
"Okay, thank you all for your hard work." Lin Jiafan hung up the phone, opened the car door and got out.
Seeing this, Luo Jingyao naturally followed.
The two of them stared closely at the direction of the factory and vaguely heard someone shouting and cursing inside the wall. It seemed that Lu Deshu was very dissatisfied with his subordinates for letting outsiders into their lair without permission.
"Brother Rat! Brother Rat, please listen to my explanation..." I don't know who is still trying to defend himself.
At this moment, Lin Jiafan pressed the button on the communicator, his lips opening and closing as he uttered two words clearly: "Action!"
As tear gas landed inside the wall, wailing sounds suddenly rang out, and several teams of fully armed special police rushed into the yard from the front, back, left and right directions, either climbing over the wall or breaking down the door.
The scene instantly became even more chaotic. Before leaving, Lin Jiafan turned back and reminded, "Wait in the car!"
Luo Jingyao awkwardly retracted her right leg, realizing that if she went there she might just cause more trouble. After all, it wasn't surprising for these vicious criminals to have guns in their hands.
Fortunately, the police had made thorough preparations before this operation, and the number of special police officers coming to support was several times that of the group of criminals, so it was estimated that nothing major would go wrong.
Thinking of this, she obediently sat back in the car.
As time passed, the noise coming from the factory became quieter and quieter, until almost nothing could be heard.
Driven by curiosity, Luo Jingyao was about to get out of the car to carefully identify the sound. Unexpectedly, as soon as she touched the door handle, her attention was attracted by a figure passing by cautiously outside the car.
A fish that slipped through the net? She tilted her head uncertainly.
Seeing the other party running away, Luo Jingyao decided to not think twice and, adhering to the principle of rather killing someone by mistake than letting him go, pushed the car door open with force.
Unexpectedly, before her feet even touched the ground, another figure quickly caught up with her.
The man had long arms and legs, and he caught up with the suspicious person in just a few steps, and knocked the person to the ground with a leap.
The two rolled on the ground twice. The suspicious man seemed to have some kung fu skills, and his punch was fast and powerful.
Lin Jiafan turned his head without hesitation, accurately dodging the opponent's attack, and then his ruthless fists fell on the man's cheek one after another.
Whether it is posture, strength, or technique, everything is just right.
Only after he had beaten the man so hard that he staggered a few steps and fell to the ground did Lin Jiafan shake his right hand, which had just hit him, and took out a pair of handcuffs from his pocket.
He leaned over and handcuffed the suspicious person's hands behind his back, then he grabbed the collar and pulled him up from the ground. Unexpectedly, when he turned around, he met the eyes of the person standing by the car.
Luo Jingyao now understood clearly.
It felt like she had always misunderstood Lin Jiafan's skills. After he won their first fight, she naturally assumed that as a member of the special case investigation team, he must be a rookie.
No wonder he always found excuses not to attend physical education class, it turns out it really wasn't necessary.
Suddenly, she seemed to remember something, her eyes narrowed slightly, and her expression became somewhat dangerous.
