Hong Kong is such a bustling and prosperous city. It is very different with Mount Tai and Lion Rock between them.

Shatin is much quieter. The nightlife of the residents here is not as colorful as that of Hong Kong. Without the extravagance, all that remains is life.

Many people here follow the rhythm of working from sunrise to sunset. When they are tired of sitting and chatting by the river or under the house, they go home to sleep.

Sergeant Xu Da led his soldier Ada to sneak into Shatin and monitor the movements of Lin Yibo and others at all times. Near Lin Yibo's house, Sanfu led the B team to infiltrate the two households upstream and downstream, and monitor Lin Yibo's three-story house from different angles.

On the other hand, Dylan of O also sent out the most elite team, with Lin Yibo's house as the center, to conduct a covert search to the southwest.

But even with the cover of night, the police did not dare to send a large team, and could only search quietly with a small team. Under such circumstances, Shatin, which is only one area of ​​Hong Kong, became too large.

Fang Zhenyue took Jiayi, put on dark green clothes, and started from Lin Yibo's house. He and the O team searched in the northeast direction, searching inch by inch, looking at both sides of the river, not missing a branch, not missing a piece of tall grass that could hide the boat - their persistence was beyond imagination. Although they were slow, they revealed a ruthlessness that they would not stop until they found the boat.

When the moon was at its zenith, they only searched a few hundred meters of road. Field operations without lights were more difficult than imagined. They were tired of searching, so they rested for a while and continued to move eastward.

The night was cold, but the two were sweating profusely.

Sweat broke out, and the river wind dried it and stuck to their skin. Soon, new sweat broke out again, which was very uncomfortable, but no one cared about their own feelings. Their minds were all on the boat.

Boat, boat, boat, where is the boat that can secretly carry two children, walking on the river, lurking in the dark?

When searching the center of the boat, there is a branch on each side.

At this time, every decision may lead to a completely different result. Search the southern branch. What if the small boat branches off on the north and takes advantage of their unpreparedness to move to the west where they have searched before? Then they will miss the two children...

"..." The two people stood in the tall grass. The dark night could not illuminate their faces, but the depressing atmosphere could be clearly perceived.

This is a very difficult decision to make. Who can bear the consequences of this choice?

Jiayi took a deep breath, held his hand, and did not choose to avoid risks, but spoke aggressively:

"All the areas where the kidnappers made phone calls that we collected before were south of Sha Tin. They seem to be more inclined to take their children to Sha Tin and the more densely populated areas to the south. They don’t seem to have been to the north. At this time, if we flee to the north where there are fewer people, we will be easily found if we are discovered by the police. But if we flee to the south and hide in the crowded urban area again, all our efforts in the past few days will be in vain. After Lin Yi-po regroups, he can continue to deal with Lai Fuhao.

"If I were Lin Yi-po, I would definitely flee to the south.

"They have been alarmed by the police today. Although it has not caused major conflicts and consequences, Lin Yi-po will definitely move.

"In order not to lead the police to the place where the child is hidden, Lin Yi-po will most likely choose to take a car to the city, and then find a way to contact his accomplices, go south by water, and then meet up at a new base in the city."

Jiayi took a deep breath. Although she mustered up the courage to express and make suggestions, she also felt tremendous pressure, so after she finished speaking, she added:

"Of course, this is just my guess. "

Fang Zhenyue and Yi Jiayi looked at each other for a few seconds, called Dylan and asked him to send one or two elite personnel to pay attention to the river channel northwest of the boat center, then pulled her hand and turned to the southeast river channel -

he followed her advice.

Jiayi took a deep breath, shook his thick palm in return, and then withdrew her hand to push the grass.

The two of them crouched again in the tall grass and dilapidated buildings on the river bank, looking at everything around them in the moonlight as they walked.

...

Lin Yi-bo and the other three who were in Ding's house had already planned to escape at night.

After dark, they turned off the lights and pretended to be asleep.

But after being silent for more than ten minutes, they quietly escaped from the back door - they were wearing black clothes, and as soon as they went out of the door, they hid in the tall grass on the river bank, and then began to escape around the nearby area. After escaping for

nearly half an hour, the three felt that even if the police were following them, they might have been shaken off, so they fled to their destination.

The cautious Lin Yi-bo arranged for the three to escape in three different routes. While running, they still tried to hide and evade. Regardless of whether there were police officers following them, they still tried their best to hide themselves and ensure their safety.

Lin Yi-bo was indeed as Yi Jiayi expected . , preparing to lead the team south and temporarily seek refuge with his former lover.

But Jiayi thought that for safety reasons, he would never enter the city with the two children and the hidden accomplices. In fact, Lin Yibo had to take the risk and find a way to reunite with Ah Hong first.

The team members were restless. Although it was dangerous to get together, the police did not dare to chase too closely. Lin Yibo had to take the risk to meet with Ah Hong first. After comforting the team, they set out together and detour to Kwai Chung.

Not everyone in Lin Yibo's team was as determined as he was to accomplish this. The discovery of the Sha Tin House by the police meant that they were exposed.

It is very likely that even if the matter was finally accomplished, the others who originally wanted to Those who stayed in Hong Kong would also have to take their entire families and follow Lin Yi-po to flee to the Bay for refuge and retirement.

Moreover, many people have already wavered in whether this matter can be successful. On the way to Kwai Chung with two children, Ah Hong would be scared to surrender if he encountered a traffic police checkpoint for routine drunk driving inspection.

After all, Ah Hong is the one with the children. If he surrenders, he will have to hand over the children, and then all of Lin Yi-po's plans will be in vain.

Lin Yi-po will never want this business to end like this, so he must immediately merge with Ah Hong to rekindle everyone's confidence and determination, so that he can feel at ease.

Moreover, he is the backbone of everyone. When troubles arise on the way, everyone needs him to give advice, so Lin Yibo must gather everyone together to make plans.

Every move is a risky move, but people who are in the business of life and even risk their lives, which move is not risky.

Lin Yibo, like the method he taught the other two, not only got rid of the people behind him by circling, but also hid for a while after walking a certain distance, making sure that no one was chasing behind, and then continued to move forward.

After circling a few times, the goldfish man who was walking separately from Lin Yibo quietly took the route that Lin Yibo told him to take, and fell far behind Lin Yibo, hiding as he walked.

When he reached the center of the rowing boat, the goldfish man stopped again, squatting and looking around.

Lin Yibo turned to the right side of the river and moved forward quickly. The direction changed and the light and shadow also changed. When Lin Yibo turned around, the goldfish man caught the change of light and shadow of the moonlight shining on Lin Yibo - at this moment, the night could not hide him.

And just a few minutes later, when the goldfish man was about to catch up, suddenly another more slender and agile figure flashed by and also chased in the direction of Lin Yibo.

The goldfish man frowned. The reason why he was arranged to follow behind Lin Yibo was to prevent someone from tracking Lin Yibo. He didn't expect that there really was...

The hair on his body stood up. The goldfish man pressed the gun with his left hand. After hesitating, he still pulled out the dagger tied to his right calf, and then quietly but extremely quickly chased after the slender figure.

………… During the search, Jiayi kept thinking back to the scene she saw in the flow image triggered by Fang Zhenxuan's instructions. The experience of working

for such a long time and the things learned from reading a lot of case files of predecessors all show that most criminals rely on paths. Crime is a very risky "job". Even though the current detection methods are still very old and the technology is backward, the police still have the means to scare criminals. Under such premise, if criminals do not want to be caught by the police and want to do their own things, they must make very safe choices, whether it is the location of the crime or the behavior pattern. But what kind of choice is safe? Most people will say: a choice that has been successful. Therefore, Lin Yibo would probably choose to lock up Li Zemin and Zhao Qionghui in the same way he locked up Fang Zhenxuan. At that moment, Fang Zhenxuan's vital signs were already very weak. Jiayi saw him open his eyes. There was a gap as wide as a fingernail between the wooden planks. He seemed to be dazzled by the light, so he raised his head and tried to catch the light. But the light that came through the gap in the wooden planks only flashed for a moment and then slid away. Jiayi frowned. What kind of light would circle and move away? She pushed aside the tall grass and checked the things in the tunnel ahead by the moonlight. After confirming that there were no boats moored, she raised her head and looked around, but did not see any light. He frowned and bit his lip, letting out a stifled breath. Could it be that someone had used a flashlight to find Guan Fang Zhenxuan's location, but didn't notice and turned on the flashlight? No, that kind of diffuse light was definitely not a flashlight. He followed Fang Zhenyue for a few more steps, and the moon emerged from behind a dark cloud, shining silver light all over, and the scene in the surroundings suddenly became clear. In the river ahead, Fang Zhenyue found a row of small boats, most of which were too old to be used, but there were still two or three that could still be used. After checking the ropes, it seemed that they had all been tied here recently. But the boats were empty, and there were no signs of people being kidnapped or children being carried there. Perhaps they were just small boats left here by nearby fishermen. Fang Zhenyue stood up, wiped his forehead, and continued to move forward. When Jiayi passed by these boats, she only looked inside, then turned her head to look elsewhere. Suddenly, a columnar building far away in the direction of the city gate river attracted her attention. "Brother Yue, what is that?" Jiayi caught up with him and pointed it out to him. "It's a small lighthouse in the river, guiding night boats back to the shore and into the river, and warning ships to slow down and not hit the reefs, but it should have been abandoned for a long time." "!" Jiayi's pupils shrank slightly, and then she closed her eyes, and once again concentrated on recalling without being disturbed - recalling the direction from which the light came, and the intensity of the light. After a few breaths, she turned her head and looked around again. She took out a map from her pocket and confirmed their location. She brought the map close to her eyes and carefully examined the patchwork map that was hastily prepared. There was an abandoned area on their right. Fang Zhenyue looked at her in confusion, but saw Jiayi quickly put the map back into her pocket and then began to search around the moored boats. It was winter and the wind was very cold. The wormwood taller than a person on the river bank was blown to one direction. Jiayi pressed the tall grass down so that she could see the terrain under the tall grass. Although Fang Zhenyue didn't know what she was doing, he stepped forward to help her press the grass down. After they pushed down all the tall grass within a few meters of the land, they finally saw a low road extending inward. When Jiayi walked to the low road, Fang Zhenyue looked around and whispered, "This may have been a small river a dozen years ago." Jiayi nodded, "If there is a river here, then a dozen years ago, there may have been a small lake that was larger than the water hole?" Even if it is very small, it is enough to moor houseboats and a harbor for some family fishing boats, right? Fang Zhenyue stood up straight and looked at Jiayi, his expression gradually becoming solemn. A hidden river channel, a water hole covered by tall grass and slopes... He felt a little suffocated, but his heartbeat quickened. Without waiting for Jiayi to continue, he strode in that direction. He pushed aside all the tall grass and shrubs, cut through the thorns and rushed to the lowest part of the water hole. The ground under his feet gradually became muddy, indicating that although this place was no longer a harbor, it still became a wetland after rain and high tide. Fang Zhenyue did not dare to think about it, but a thought was about to come out: such a place might be the burial place of his brother. Over the past decade, Shatin District has changed with each passing day. Many old lands nearby have been requisitioned for building. The former fishing village no longer exists. This place has gradually been built into a city. The former fishing port has also been optimized and rebuilt, but there are still many places that have not been included in the renovation area and have been abandoned here... Fang Zhenyue was striding forward when he suddenly heard a noise not far away. He and Jiayi stopped at the same time and turned their heads towards the direction where the sound came from. It seemed to be the dragging and stuttering sound of people pulling. Fang Zhenyue made a gesture to Jiayi, and the two separated to the left and right tacitly, and then wiped in that direction at the same rhythm. The closer we got, the more abandoned broken boats and broken planks we found in the tall grass. It was as if this was a mass grave of old boats. They were half-buried in the mud, some of them had been eroded, and with a light scoop, the once hard wood crumbled into dust. Hiding behind a section of an old boat, Jiayi carefully pushed aside some tall grass and saw a large boathouse lying on the ground in front of the lake. A man was escorting a child and impatiently scolded him in a low voice: "Pee quickly, don't dawdle."

Jiayi took a deep breath and turned to look at the boathouse next to her. There was a very dim candlelight inside. If she hadn't walked through the layers of tall grass houses and entered here, she would never have seen a light in the boathouse under the tall grass no matter how hard she searched on the other side of the river. Her

brain was working rapidly. There were five kidnappers in total. The black-skinned guy was in the Mid-Levels villa area, and Lin Yibo and the other two were in the Shatin small house. So there should be only one person watching the two children here.

Her breathing suddenly became rapid, and her eyes turned slightly. She saw Fang Zhenyue beside the tall grass on the other side. The two looked at each other from a distance. Jiayi's fingers trembled slightly due to excitement. She quietly made a gesture to seek Fang Zhenyue's opinion.

Fang Zhenyue turned his head and stared at the man standing closer to him, then carefully observed the man's waist and hands, took a deep breath, suppressed his raging heartbeat, turned his head and nodded to Jiayi, then slightly arched his back and dived towards the kidnapper.

Yi Jiayi hurriedly followed, and from another angle, she lowered her body and approached the kidnapper.

At this moment, Fang Zhenyue was more anxious than before, and his speed was much faster than Jiayi.

Seeing through the gap in the grass that Brother Yue was approaching the kidnapper too quickly, Jiayi felt worried.

Just as she was considering whether to speed up and approach, the kidnapper seemed to suddenly realize the crisis, and suddenly shouted in the direction of Fang Zhenyue:

"Who's there?"

The next moment, he had drawn his gun and pointed it forward.

Jiayi's pupils suddenly contracted. Brother Yue was crouching forward. If she stood up to fight the kidnapper, her life would be in danger.

Her hands were faster than her brain. In one night, she had drawn her gun and stood up straight, her finger hooked to the trigger without hesitation.

Jiayi felt that her movements were like slow motion in a movie. In fact, it was just an exaggerated sense caused by excessive tension. It only took her a few dozen seconds to draw her gun and aim at the kidnapper.

"Bang!"

The moon was suddenly covered by a black cloud moving at high speed. The moment the surroundings darkened again, the thunder-like sound of the gun woke up the entire silent wilderness.
