Suddenly, the police officer rushed back.
"Captain Guo, we've made a major discovery!"
Duan Ze, Xiao Liu, and Guo Han were all stunned. The three of them hurriedly ran towards the building.
Soon, a group of people squeezed into the room with the iron door.
Duan Ye squatted on the ground, his hands completely dirty.
But his eyes lit up with excitement, because the five-pointed star pattern told him... they hadn't gone in the wrong direction.
Duan Ze saw it too.
Duan Ze: "Quickly send people out to search for any more of this pattern. This is the distress signal left by Nanxing!"
Guo Han dared not be careless and quickly sent people to search separately.
Duan Ze walked over and helped Duan Ye up.
“The closer we get to the border, the less signal we get. You and Nanxing… you know her pretty well, you need to go find her quickly.”
Duan Ze put it tactfully, but Xiao Liu understood.
He was now a little curious: what exactly was the relationship between this big star and Duan Ye?
But this is not the time to ask.
Duan Ye nodded, and without further delay, quickly ran out to find the person.
There's a large reed marshland far from here, and there are only twenty-five people in total. Just finding them has already taken a lot of time.
The sun was shining brightly when someone finally came to report.
"Here! There's a five-pointed star here!"
Duan Ye and Duan Ze rushed over.
One of the points of a five-pointed star is longer than the other; that point indicates direction.
Duan Ye had already looked at the map around L City on the plane, and while Guo Han and his men were checking directions on their computers, he had already figured out the way.
"That should be the direction of the Bian River."
Everyone stared at Duan Ye in surprise.
Guo Han: "There's more than one road leading to the Bian River..."
Duan Ye: "Brother, give me the map."
Duan Ze quickly handed the map to Duan Ye.
Duan Ye squatted down and spread out the entire map on the spot, then quickly pointed to three points.
"These three roads all lead directly to the Bian River. If they had taken any of them, their tracks would have been exposed. So they did the opposite and took the current route. This route leads in multiple directions, but the advantage is that there are abandoned buildings and reed beds that can conceal their tracks. Moreover, all these roads end at the border..."
"Where can one smuggle across the border? Apart from the heavily guarded areas, the only other place left is the Bian River."
"The Bian River stretches for thousands of miles, separating China from other countries. Even with our long reach, it's impossible to find them in a short time..."
The letter Fang Rou gave them only contained information about a hidden hideout in L City. They had already handed it over to the L City police, but they still hadn't caught a single person.
Duan Ye couldn't wait any longer.
Once you cross the Bian River, it will be too late.
Guo Han: "Your speculation is unreasonable, but how can you be so sure..."
Duan Ye is usually very patient, but at this moment, he can't be patient anymore.
Without waiting for Guo Han to speak, Duan Ye took the car keys from Guo Han's hand and said, "Captain Guo, lend me a car."
After saying that, Duan Ye ran straight out of the reeds.
Guo Han: "...No, this matter needs to be considered carefully..."
Duan Ze patted Xiao Liu on the shoulder: "There's no time to plan ahead. Once we cross the Bian River, it will be too late."
After saying that, Duan Ze ran away.
Xiao Liu quickly stopped Guo Han: "Captain Guo, Captain Guo, our consultant and his brother are just too anxious. This matter has a really big impact; the Kyoto government is paying close attention..."
Guo Han finally calmed down: "Really?"
Xiao Liu: "How could I dare lie to you about something this important? If it weren't for the high importance placed on this by the higher-ups, how could we have arrived so quickly..."
Guo Han frowned in deep thought.
Xiao Liu: "Captain Guo, the priority now is to find them..."
Guo Han sighed: "In that case, let's go too. I'll ask the bureau to send some more people."
Xiao Liu: "We also need to notify the border patrol officers to be extra vigilant..."
Guo Han nodded and quickly went to make the arrangements.
Xiao Liu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Meanwhile, Duan Ye had already driven Duan Ze in a police car toward Bianhe, but they didn't take the route marked on the map.
Duan Ze: "Are you sure it's okay for you to take this back alley?"
Duan Ye: "No problem. It's not easy for them to bring such a big person through layers of security checks and get directly to the Bian River."
"First, they dare not take roads with many people. If they drive, they will encounter checks at any time. So when they get close to the Bian River, they have no choice but to abandon the car and walk. They dare not cross the river illegally during the day, so they have to wait until night. Therefore, they will choose to travel through areas with few people, tall grass, and many mountains..."
"After eliminating those options, the choices become fewer. I've looked at other places; they're either long detours or rugged, difficult mountain roads. If we want a shorter and faster route, this is the only one..."
Duan Ze analyzed Duan Ye's words, while simultaneously calculating the time it took Nan Xing to leave that house and the time needed to reach the Bian River...
"Yes, you're absolutely right."
While acknowledging the offer, Duan Ze sent his location to Xiao Liu, who was behind him.
To make sure Xiao Liu could hear him, he repeated himself several times on the walkie-talkie until he heard Xiao Liu's reply, and then he was relieved.
The two focused on their journey. Those people didn't dare to drive, but they were willing to and weren't afraid of being checked, so as long as they drove fast, catching up shouldn't be a problem.
However, Duan Ze was a little confused.
“L City is far from Wenzhou. Since Jiang Jingwen is in Wenzhou, why send Nanxing across the border first…”
Duan Ye: "Only by sending Nanxing across the border can his bargaining chips be safe. He's paving the way for his own future. If something happens to him, it might force the police to exchange Nanxing for someone else..."
