Chapter 411 The Eve Before Dawn
The dawn slowly lifted the curtain of night, revealing a thin morning light listlessly.
In the big office, Yi Jiayi and Hu Dehai compared all the bodyguards hired by the Hu family, began to check their resumes, and finally handed over the right to deploy all the bodyguards to Jiayi.
Although the bodyguards seemed to be very professional in protecting others, in fact, they were far less professional than the PTU in terms of equipment and force, let alone the elite force of the PTU, the Flying Tigers.
Jiayi felt excited, but also felt great pressure at the same time.
The agents of Group B arrived one after another. They were absolutely loyal and reliable, but they were not as professional as the Flying Tigers. Jiayi could not let them wear bulletproof vests and go to the front line like the Flying Tigers to bear huge risks.
Teresa and other senior forensic chemists from the Central Police Station are also arriving soon. They are professional enough in the investigation, but their combat power is weak and they need the full protection of PTU members. This is also a consumption of highly professional people who are extremely scarce.
When Jiayi was anxious, she received a call from the intelligence sergeant Xu Da, who had worked with her before, and the intelligence specialist Ada, who was saved by Jiayi in a kidnapping case, who were willing to help Jiayi at any time: for suspicious people appearing around the villa, the intelligence department has more professional tracking skills.
After welcoming them to join, Jiayi looked at the increasing support on the whiteboard and felt the difficulty of commanding the layout.
There are very few high-powered PTU police officers. The bodyguards have no guns and are more like physique students. There are 2 intelligence support officers, 4 forensic support officers, 5 detectives from the serious crime unit who are good at investigating and solving cases, and the follow-up support mentioned by Mr. Huang who is not sure when they will be in place...
The opponents are 3 fearless desperadoes and a team mobilized by Tom Zhang with an unknown number of people and reportedly powerful guns.
Turning her head to look at the villa courtyard outside the window, Jiayi actually had a sense of crisis as if she was leading a few Tibetan mastiffs and a dozen strong sheep, guarding a meat shop, and being in a sheepfold, preparing to resist a large number of wolves.
Sweat oozed from the corners of her forehead. The mobile phone in her trouser pocket suddenly rang. Jiayi picked it up and heard Fang Zhenyue's voice,
"I'm on my way. I'll be there in about half an hour."
Half an hour later, Fang Zhenyue and Yi Jiayi gathered around a map and discussed strategies enthusiastically.
They kept updating the content on the whiteboard, and the map was also marked with countless marks arranged by representatives. After more than two hours, the two suddenly straightened up, took a deep breath, and then turned around and raised their right hands and clapped them hard.
At this time, the sun had risen to the zenith, and the blazing light shone into the "temporary command center" specially vacated for them in the Hu family villa. Jiayi's eyebrows flew up, and there was a light of confidence in her eyes, and the whole person was shining.
…
Before arriving at the Hu family villa, Teresa received a call from Jiayi and temporarily turned the car around to a location to meet with Xu Da and Ada from the Intelligence Department.
After the communication between the few people, Teresa's forensic agents, dressed up by Xu Da and Ada, turned into old men who went up the mountain to pick up rubbish.
Xu Da protected two people and secretly surveyed the south of the Hu family villa, while Ada led the other two people to the north.
…
On the morning of the 8th, outside the Hu family villa, everything returned to the layout of the day before, and the security manpower was still focused on Hu Tianyue in the west villa - as if Jiayi's sudden enlightenment last night did not happen.
Fang Zhenyue brought news that Tom Zhang had mobilized people to plan an operation on the 9th. Although they did not get the news of what Tom Zhang was going to do, they basically confirmed that it was an action against "Ladies' Silk".
The undercover agent was trying to get detailed firepower equipment, but because Tom Zhang had done a good job of keeping secrets, the undercover agent did not dare to take too many risks. On the one hand, he was afraid that his life would be in danger if he was discovered, and on the other hand, he was afraid that if Tom Zhang could not be eliminated in this mission, the spy he had planted in Tom Zhang's team would be wasted, and it would be difficult to insert people around Tom Zhang in the future.
In addition to the 10 O-class powerful agents brought by Fang Zhenyue, there are 85 powerful team members hiding in the Hu family villa.
In addition, there are 5 members of Group B, and 7 agents of Group A who rushed over after hearing that Yi Jiayi needed support and happened to have no cases on hand, a total of 13 West Kowloon CID agents - among whom Qin Xiaolei is equivalent to a Flying Tiger.
In addition, there were 12 bodyguards hired by Hu Dehai, a total of 43 combat forces, plus Jiayi and Fang Zhenyue, who had been in the Flying Tigers for a period of time, a total of 45 people.
Hong Kong police have always been fighting with numbers. Although Jiayi could not pry too many policemen, 45 people were definitely not a minority.
Everyone was assigned a number, and Jiayi began to arrange the tasks of each person in turn-
"Yes, madam!"
"Yes, madam!"
With a loud response, the police and bodyguards were sent out.
"Yes, sister-in-law!" The O detective brought by Fang Zhenyue also received his order, stood at attention and saluted, and prepared to leave.
Jiayi was stunned for a moment, then said: "Call 'madam'."
"Yes, madam!" The O detective quickly changed his words.
Jiayi raised her lips, nodded and looked at the next detective:
"Report your number!"
"Number 007, guard the three o'clock direction of the east villa!"
"Stand by at any time."
"Yes, madam!"
Under Jiayi's deployment, everyone put on field camouflage or metal bulletproof vests and took their positions one by one.
…
On the afternoon of the 8th, after Teresa finished her investigation, she did not come to the Hu family villa to prevent the murderer's spies from tracking her in the dark, but left Taipingshan directly.
After returning to the police station, Teresa called Jiayi and told her that there were several new footprints on the east side of the villa, which were pressed on some older footprints, and that there was a small bump there, and standing there happened to be able to see the general situation of the Hu family villa.
After receiving the news, Jiayi made some arrangements based on the latest clues, and then immediately called Superintendent Huang Zhongcheng:
"Sir Huang, the deployment of the Hu family villa is basically ok, I will report to you in detail."
20 minutes later, Jiayi finished reporting, and Sir Huang began to ask:
"Why don't you place someone in the east villa?"
"Sir Huang, the east villa has three floors, with five bedrooms, three study rooms, four living rooms, two kitchens, and two gyms... There are four rooms in the basement, and a bathroom and two rest rooms on the roof. As they have lived there for a long time, there are countless furniture in each room. It would take at least half an hour for the criminals to search the east villa carefully. Even if we make an estimate based on the room where the bodyguards are most concentrated, it would take a lot of time to search the house and find "Ladies' Silk" as soon as possible.
"And it would take about half an hour for the Central District Police Station to send support to the Hu family villa. By the time the criminals find "Ladies' Silk", it is likely that they have been surrounded by the police and will not be able to escape at all.
"The security police stationed in the west and east wings went out to engage in a gunfight with the gangsters. Taking into account the delay, it would have taken even longer.
"If I were a gangster, I would never use such a stupid method."
Jiayi shook her head.
"So?" Superintendent Huang frowned, and sat in the office, unconsciously straightening his body as he followed the scene Jiayi had imagined.
"If it were me, I might set fire to the two villas in the east and west wings to force the owner of "Ladies' Silk" to rescue the treasure, and then rob it. Anyway, even if it was really burned, the loss would be Hu Dehai, and the robbers would have taken a risk that was worth it. Jiayi pursed her lips and said, "Therefore, if we plant someone in the key target east wing villa, it is likely to cause unnecessary casualties. Although the west wing may also be burned, we have arranged fire-fighting equipment and made arrangements to prevent the flame from burning under the guidance of experts from the Forensic Science Department and the Forensic Department. This is safer and more secure." "Although Jiayi was on the phone, she still nodded habitually.
"OK..." Superintendent Huang's thinking quickly followed up, and after figuring it out, he nodded involuntarily, praising her for her "meticulous thinking". Wanting to remind her again to protect all the police officers, Huang Zhongcheng hesitated and swallowed back his worries. However, in order to put more pressure on Jiayi, he said:
"I have already greeted the chief of police at the Central Police Station. He promised that the entire team will be on standby in the police dormitory at the foot of Victoria Peak from the early morning of the 9th. If an emergency really occurs, the mountain road will be unobstructed in the early morning, and they can jump off the bed and set off. They can reach the Hu family villa in 15 minutes at the fastest."
"Great, thank you Sir Huang! "Jia Yi said excitedly.
"Are the bulletproof vests and helmets ready? Do you need anything else?" Huang Sir asked concernedly.
"Huang Sir, I still need two snipers."
...
There is no such thing as a foolproof Zhuge Liang's strategy in this world. It is nothing more than straining your brain to death, constantly imagining the choices of the bandits, constantly assuming possible difficulties, overcoming them one by one, and making plans bit by bit.
No one can be 100% confident just by waving a feather fan, or scare away thousands of troops while drinking tea and holding a piano.
Only you know the uneasiness and tension in your heart. Those who are hiding in the dark and may suddenly rise up and fight with the enemy at any time are not chess pieces without life or death, but children, husbands, and fathers with families, parents, and children.
Jiayi took on the task of protecting Hu Tianyue, and accepted Hu Dehai's request. She was not only responsible for the safety of Miss Hu and the treasures of Mr. Hu Dehai, but also for those good people. Responsible for the lives of her sons.
Not one can be left behind... Not one can be left behind...
At around 10 p.m., two snipers finally arrived at the Hu family villa quietly.
One was a 33-year-old tall and thin female police officer, and the other was a 29-year-old thin male police officer. They were specially approved by Mr. Huang after he personally went to the Hong Kong Police Headquarters and stood in the chief's office to negotiate.
After arranging the two men at two high places outside the Hu family villa that were sure to have not been stepped on by the criminals, Jiayi finally breathed a sigh of relief. With the protection of the snipers, their safety factor was once again improved. Just
as he sat back on the bench, considering getting a good night's sleep in the last few days to recharge his energy, the big mobile phone on his waist rang again.
This time, the caller was not a police colleague, but Yi Jiadong:
"Jiayi, how did you do on your mission? "
Next, Brother Yi asked about whether she had slept well and eaten well, and then he mentioned an important event for which the date had been set and invitations had been sent out long ago -
on the evening of the 9th, the renovated and expanded Yi Ji would reopen, and various friends and old customers would be invited. Many media people who had written articles for Yi Ji would also attend, including Mr. Cha from the Riyuebao, Mr. Cai, the happy talent, and all old and new friends of Yi Ji would gather together.
"...Can you come?" Yi Jiadong, who hadn't seen his sister for several days, asked with concern.
"Big sister must come. When the ribbon is cut, big sister must cut it together! "Jiaru's voice came into the microphone.
Jiayi looked up and glanced at the sea-sky intersection gradually covered by the dark night. She clenched her fists, took a deep breath, and said as briskly as possible:
"I will be there on time!"
