Chapter 151 Carpet Search
The surveillance footage of Baima Street was quickly retrieved.
The surveillance footage showed that at 11:45 p.m., Qi Xiaolei drove her car and parked it steadily under the shade of a tree beside the street. She then opened the door and walked towards the alley.
After a while, she came out with a bulging white bag in her hand. I guess, as Liao Wei said, she bought fried spring rolls from the alley.
However, the most heart-wrenching scene happened when Qi Xiaolei came out.
There was no one around. A black van came speeding from a distance like a ghost and stopped behind Qi Xiaolei's car in an instant.
The car door was suddenly opened, and two men in black jumped out of the car and ran straight towards Qi Xiaolei, obviously coming for her.
Qi Xiaolei sensed the danger and reacted quickly. She did not retreat at all and bravely dealt with the two men in black, and the two sides wrestled with each other.
But less than two minutes later, another man in black got off the van. Holding an electric baton, he took advantage of Qi Xiaolei's unpreparedness, shocked her unconscious and carried her into the car.
The tricky thing is that the license plate is a clone, so there is no way to find out who the owner is?
"Shameless!" Liao Wei was furious, his voice full of anger and shock.
Han Jianye's brows were furrowed, his eyes fixed on the surveillance screen, as if he was thinking about something.
"How arrogant!" Director Zheng was so angry that he slammed the table. His face was livid, anger was burning in his eyes, and his fists were clenched tightly, as if he couldn't wait to rush out and bring those criminals to justice.
Political Commissar Gao had a serious expression on his face, the cigarette in his hand burning at his fingertips, wisps of smoke lingering between his furrowed brows.
He slowly exhaled a puff of smoke and said in a deep voice: "Ye Bai is right, you have been targeted, and they have been keeping an eye on you for a long time. Otherwise, how would those criminals know that you went out for a midnight snack and specifically targeted Xiao Lei who was alone?"
Director Zheng put his hands behind his back, his eyes were sharp, and he solemnly warned: "Until this gang is arrested, none of you should act alone. This is an order!"
His tone was firm and unyielding, as if every word he said was of great weight.
Han Jianye's throat was slightly itchy. He coughed lightly and said in a low voice: "I think they must have the next move. Kidnapping a police officer is an extremely serious matter. They should be very clear that if someone dies, we will never let them go easily. So, I guess they should temporarily lock Xiaolei up somewhere and wait for the right time to act."
At this moment, Li Zhimu's figure suddenly flashed through Ye Bai's mind.
However, Li Zhimu was sentenced to death a month ago for intentional homicide, kidnapping and intentional injury, and is no longer alive.
Ye Bai's heart sank slightly, and he had a feeling that this matter was going to be more complicated than before.
It must be the real big fish that has appeared.
Director Zheng slowly put out the cigarette in his hand, and the butt turned to ashes between his fingers.
He raised his head, his eyes swept through everyone like a knife, and said sternly: "Notify everyone immediately! Send more people to all abandoned factories, hospitals, schools, deserted villa areas, construction sites, etc., and conduct a carpet search! Also, the place where the black van finally disappeared is very likely their hiding place!"
His voice echoed in the air, making everyone present feel an invisible sense of pressure and urgency.
When the meeting was over, Ye Bai followed Han Jianye and Political Commissar Gao.
Political Commissar Gao asked with concern: "Why are you coughing like this?"
Han Jianye swallowed, forced a smile, and said lightly: "It's just that my throat is dry and itchy, and I feel uncomfortable and want to cough."
Political Commissar Gao frowned and asked with concern, "Have you taken the medicine prescribed by the doctor? Do you want me to ask your aunt to make some rock sugar pear water for you to drink?"
Han Jianye waved his hand. "No need. It's just a minor problem. It will be fine in two days."
He turned to look at Ye Bai and said in a low voice: "Let's go to the abandoned mountaintop villa."
Ye Bai nodded and responded, "Got it."
But he had a vague feeling that it was unlikely that there were Tibetans in the same place.
Han Jianye seemed to see through his thoughts and said, "Investigate any suspicious areas."
The two got in the car and drove in silence.
Ye Bai thought of his confession last night and lowered his head slightly, not knowing how to start.
Han Jianye coughed again, and Ye Bai couldn't help but suggest: "After we go back, I will accompany you to see a doctor?"
Han Jianye, however, acted nonchalant and said, "A little cough won't kill you."
Ye Bai sighed, looked at him helplessly, and stopped talking.
Half an hour later, the group arrived at the deserted mountaintop villa.
Liao Wei did not come. He took people to check the surveillance and track the black van.
The villa area was desolate and silent, with only the occasional chirping of birds.
Han Jianye put on a mask and coughed a few more times.
Whenever Ye Bai heard a cough, he couldn't help but look at him.
Han Jianye looked around carefully and said in a deep voice, "There are no signs of cars running over here. It seems like no one has been here for a long time."
He frowned slightly and continued, "Xiao Lei shouldn't be here."
