Chapter 222 We will set up surveillance in Linchang City
After finding Wu Yang and Lin Jinnan again, Captain Zhang and his team fell into a new round of busyness and anxiety, while Guan Xia and her team were temporarily free.
But no one was in the mood to chat, including Ji An, and everyone took the time to catch up on their sleep.
Guan Xia hadn't closed her eyes for too long. She had originally planned to just take a short nap, but ended up sleeping for five or six hours. In the end, she was woken up by Qin Yue who was driving. She kept waking up, the sound not loud but continuous.
Guan Xia was half asleep and thought she was hallucinating, until she suddenly realized that they were arresting Wu Yang, and then she woke up and opened her eyes.
Pang Le was also woken up. Rubbing his eyes, he asked vaguely, "What time is it?"
Ji An woke up earlier than them. He glanced at the time and said, "6:32."
"It's already dawn." Zhong Xiaoyu also sat up straight and turned to look at the rising sun outside the window that had just jumped out of the horizon.
"We slept so soundly," Pang Le said, still feeling a bit sleepy despite having his eyes open. He stretched awkwardly and said, "I just had a dream. I dreamed we caught up with Wu Yang, but he resisted arrest and beat up Sister Ji. I got so angry that I beat him to death."
Guan Xia was infected and was yawning. Upon hearing this, she stopped and turned to look at Pang Le. Why did this narrated scene seem a bit like the ending of the original novel told to her by the system? Was it a coincidence?
Guan Xia only thought for a second before Qin Yue spoke again, "Expert Guan, Captain Zhang just sent a message. Based on the license plate number you found, they've tracked the car down to the point it left Nanxing Province and entered Guangqing Province around 7 PM on the 27th. They're still tracking it, but just in case, we wanted to check to see if the suspects are still in that car and whether they've changed vehicles along the way."
When Qin Yue said these words, she couldn't help but look at Guan Xia several times through the rearview mirror. She was really curious. The windows of the vehicle in the surveillance video were clearly rolled up and covered with window film, so she couldn't see anything. How did Guan Xia know that there was a criminal suspect on board? She didn't doubt it, but just thought it was amazing. Can human intuition really be so accurate?
Guan Xia didn't notice Qin Yue's curiosity at all. She immediately perked up and replied, "Okay, did Captain Zhang send the surveillance video?"
Qin Yue said: "Someone delivered it half an hour ago, and I even pulled over to take it over."
"Did the car stop in the middle?" Zhong Xiaoyu was a little surprised. "How come I didn't feel anything at all? Was I sleeping so soundly?"
Pang Le was also a little surprised, "I didn't feel it either."
Ji An smiled and said, "I felt it. I opened my eyes and took a look while half asleep. I guess everyone's physical condition is at its limit after not sleeping for two days. That's why they slept so soundly."
Guan Xia had already found the cardboard box containing the latest surveillance footage Qin Yue had mentioned. She immediately returned to her focused state and quickly connected the USB drive, which was labeled for her confirmation, to her computer. After just one glance, she confirmed, "It's them. They're still in that car. They must have been so focused on getting to the boat as soon as possible that they didn't change cars during the trip."
Qin Yue breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good, that's good."
Before Qin Yue finished speaking, Guan Xia's phone rang. She picked it up and saw that it was Captain Zhang.
After Guan Xia answered the call, without waiting for Captain Zhang to speak, she directly shared her findings. Captain Zhang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's great! As long as we can confirm that they didn't change cars along the way, the rest of the pursuit will be much easier."
Captain Zhang couldn't help laughing twice, then said, "How about this, Expert Guan, you've worked hard these past two days. Now that we know they won't change cars mid-journey, tracking their whereabouts can be handed over to other colleagues. They may not be as efficient as Expert Guan, but they have more people and can produce results just as quickly. Expert Guan, there's no need for you to keep following us in the car and endure this hardship. We've already exited the highway, and I guess you'll be there soon too. Once you're off the highway, find a police guesthouse to rest up. Once we confirm the suspect's final city of departure, we'll contact Expert Guan immediately, and you can fly over directly then."
Guan Xia hesitated for only a second before agreeing, "Okay, thank you, Captain Zhang."
Guan Xia hung up the phone, and then Qin Yue's phone rang. It was obvious that Captain Zhang called to give her instructions.
Sure enough, after Qin Yue hung up the phone, she said, "Expert Guan, we'll be off the highway in half an hour. I've been to Xinyao City on business before, and I know of a guesthouse not far from the airport. Why don't we stay there? It's only a fifteen-minute drive to the airport, very convenient. What do you think?"
Guan Xia certainly had no objection, "Okay, then let's live there."
No one in the group had expected that they would have time to rest at this moment. Besides being surprised, they were all very happy. Lack of sleep was one reason, but another reason was that they had been running around outside for the past two days. Everyone, including Pang Le, was in a mess. Guan Xia sweated so much that she felt like she was being pickled. She really wanted to take a good shower and wash her hair.
An hour and a half later, a group of ten people, including two policemen who drove them, checked into the guesthouse smoothly. The only inconvenience was that there were not many vacant rooms in the guesthouse, and they racked their brains but could not arrange them together. Except for Ji An and Zhong Xiaoyu's rooms which were on the same floor as Guan Xia and the others, the rest were separated and checked in.
As soon as they entered the room, Guan Xia wrapped the wound with plastic wrap as simply as Pang Le was racing to prevent it from getting wet, and then washed herself thoroughly with quick movements.
After coming out of the bathroom, Guan Xia let out a long breath as if she had come back to life, then sat down on the chair and wiped her hair with a towel from time to time.
Pang Le also felt comfortable, but he didn't forget his business. He lazily half-collapsed on the sofa, calculated the time and said, "It is now 8:25 in the morning of the 28th. It has been 28 hours since Wu Yang and his group escaped. Two hours ago, we confirmed that they entered Guangqing Province around 9:00 PM on the 27th. According to their speed, at this time, I am afraid they have already entered Xinglin Province and are not far from the coast."
Guan Xia felt anxious after hearing this, so he simply threw the towel aside, searched for a national map on his phone, zoomed in and began to study Xinglin Province.
Pang Le also came over to take a look, gesturing with his slender fingers, "Jianyang City, Dingyuan Province, is here. Wu Yang and his group fled from Quanle City. According to the pattern of their escape we discovered, they almost took the most time-saving straight line. That is to say, if they drove from Guangqing Province to Xinglin Province, the most likely destination would be Peixin City. But if they go east to the coast, they will have to drive through five or six cities in a row. It's not as fast as going southeast from Fenglang City to the sea. Let me see, past Peixin City is Linchang City, and past Linchang City is Fenglang City. But this Linchang City is big enough. If Wu Yang and his group really go from here..."
Pang Le glanced at the time and added, "At this point, he shouldn't have entered Linchang City yet. If Captain Zhang and the others move quickly enough, they'll definitely have time to catch him."
Guan Xia was originally holding her breath, feeling somewhat worried, but after listening to Pang Le's analysis, she relaxed. She also glanced at the time and said, "It's been over three hours since Captain Zhang and his team discovered Wu Yang's whereabouts. We were able to come to this conclusion. I think the expert group guessed this possibility earlier than we did. However, speculation is just speculation, and it all needs to be confirmed in the end."
"It should be soon," Pang Le said confidently, "We can speculate this possibility based on the phased confirmation of Wu Yang and his team's route of action. We are not sure because Wu Yang and Lin Jinnan are so cunning and like to play tricks. But if you put yourself in their shoes, from the perspective of Lin Jinnan and his team, they have thrown enough smoke bombs, which is why they dared not change cars halfway. Judging from their behavior, they didn't expect us to see through their smoke bombs so quickly and chase them closely, so I guess they will definitely go out to sea from Fenglang City."
Pang Le spoke with full confidence. Guan Xia also thought about it and felt that what she said was very likely, so she also became confident.
But this made Guan Xia suddenly feel a sense of urgency. He picked up the towel again and wiped his hair, saying, "If this is the case, we have to hurry up. We might get a call from Captain Zhang and rush to the airport any day. I want to have another meal after I shower. I'm almost vomiting from eating instant noodles all the time. I want to eat spicy hot pot and barbecue."
Pang Le picked up his phone again and said, "What are we waiting for? I'll order takeout now. Oh, and tell them to hurry up so they don't have time to eat before we're full."
In fact, Guan Xia and Pang Le's foresight was still very reasonable. In fact, Captain Zhang's call came earlier than they expected.
Guan Xia blew her hair half dry and hurried to eat. Of course there was no spicy hot pot so early in the morning, but Pang Le ordered a casserole for her. Just as she put down her chopsticks, she received a call from Captain Zhang.
His tone was more excited than any previous time. Guan Xia said excitedly as soon as the call was connected, "Expert Guan, we have found the final destination of the criminal suspect's plan to go out to sea. It is Fenglang City. He just entered Peixin City an hour ago. We are rushing there with all our strength. At the speed they are driving, they will enter Fenglang City around 5 pm today. We certainly won't give them any chance to take advantage of us at the seaside. The arrest plan decided by the higher-ups has been implemented. We will set up surveillance in Linchang City and then arrest them in one fell swoop when they least expect it."
Guan Xia sat up straighter after hearing this and said excitedly, "Then let's buy plane tickets to Linchang City now."
Captain Zhang said, "Don't worry about the plane tickets. I bought them before I called you. They're for an hour later. There's no traffic right now, so fifteen minutes is plenty of time for you to drive there. We'll meet in Linchang in three hours."
Guan Xia nodded excitedly, "Okay, see you in Linchang City in three hours."
