Chapter 42 Caught
"Police! Don't move! Put your hands up!" Gao Guobing's righteous shout suddenly rang out in the silent forest, shocking the father and his two sons so much that they trembled all over.
When they went into the mountains to look for the tomb, they had already explored the surrounding environment. This place is deep in the mountains, and the villagers at the foot of the mountain generally do not go so deep into the mountains.
Besides, most of the young and strong men in Gaojia Village went to work on the railway, so they were not afraid at all.
They thought about being discovered by the villagers, but they never thought that the police would come to arrest them!
The father and his two sons were all confused for a moment, but the old man reacted quickly. He dropped the shovel in his hand and ran in one direction, shouting, "Run!"
The two sons also reacted and ran away without bothering to find out whether the policeman was real or not.
The three of them acted in unison. They did not run in one direction, but in three different directions. At this time, Xiao Song and Xiao Zhang also appeared, shouting "Stop" and chasing after them.
They all had pistols, but did not shoot immediately.
There is a procedure for arresting criminals. If you can avoid shooting, don't shoot.
The tomb robber's crime is not punishable by death, but it would not be good if he was shot to death. Even if he was not killed, he would have to be sent to the hospital for treatment, and the resulting medical expenses would also be a hassle.
But the police have guns, which is a great deterrent to criminals.
When Gao Guobing spoke, he was already close to the three people. Even if he didn't speak, he would easily be discovered. It would be better to take the initiative and arrest them immediately while they were stunned. But who knew that these three people would react so quickly. It seemed that they were experienced people!
But he was no pushover. He threatened to shoot while chasing after the man. He was in good physical condition and was still agile even though he was almost fifty years old.
He was seen moving through the woods as if he were walking on flat ground. With a leap, he knocked down a young man.
The young man was the old man's eldest son. After being knocked down by Gao Guobing, he became extremely ferocious and struggled hard. He exerted force with his waist, and the brute force made Gao Guobing somewhat unstable.
He was overjoyed and was about to take the opportunity to get rid of Gao Guobing, but unexpectedly, a cold and hard object was pressed against his forehead. From the corner of his eye, he saw a Type 54 pistol pressed against his forehead.
"Don't move! I'll shoot if you move again!" Gao Guobing threatened, pressing the pistol in his hand hard against the young man's forehead to show that what he said was true.
The young man really stopped struggling.
Because he knew that this man was a real policeman, not a gangster robbing gangsters!
After confirming Gao Guobing's identity, he immediately became timid.
Just when Gao Guobing thought he had subdued him, he suddenly shouted, "Run! These are real police officers!"
After hearing this, Gao Guobing couldn't help but hit the young man on the forehead with the butt of his gun, causing his brain to sway and stars to appear in his eyes.
In the distance, his father and brother were also frightened after hearing these words and ran faster.
Xiao Song is from the county town. Although he is a good shooter and has good physical fitness, he is always inferior to the real mountain people in a place like the mountains.
It took him an hour to enter the mountain, which consumed a lot of his physical strength. Now he was chasing the criminal, and the criminal ran very fast, which made him breathless, but he still couldn't catch him.
He was holding a gun in his hand, but it was not a Type 54 pistol, but a box gun.
Box gun is a common name, and the standard name is Mauser pistol. However, in the 1930s and 1940s, box guns were used in large quantities in various armies, and now it is 1986!
This gun has been outdated for a long time! Sometimes it is not reliable at all!
He didn't dare to shoot rashly. Even if he did, there was no guarantee that he would hit the target in this state.
On Xiao Song's side, the two sides had opened up a certain distance, but the situation on Xiao Zhang's side was better. Xiao Zhang was also born in a mountain village and was more adapted to the conditions in the mountains. He ran very fast and was more decisive. He had already fired two shots in a row.
Although the two shots did not hit the target due to the unreliability of the box gun, the deterrent effect brought by the gunshots was still revealed.
The escaping criminal became more and more panicked and at a loss as to where to go.
"Xiao Song, shoot!" Gao Guobing had already subdued one person, but seeing that Xiao Song and the old man were a long distance apart, he couldn't help but give orders loudly.
The tomb robbers consisted of a father and two sons. If this was the case, then the father must be the main culprit.
Even if the accomplice escapes, the principal offender cannot escape!
Xiao Song felt the pressure and fired subconsciously, but the outdated box gun did not disappoint him - he missed.
At this time, Gao Mingcheng was hiding behind a big tree. The deflected bullet hit the tree trunk in front of him, making a muffled sound.
Gao Mingcheng couldn't help but be speechless, this aim... is too bad!
He had rarely fired a gun, but he felt that even if he fired a gun, his accuracy would be much better than Xiao Song's.
Seeing that the time was almost right and the old man was about to run past him, he aimed at the opportunity, suddenly appeared, and kicked the old man on the back.
The force was so great that it kicked the old man away!
At this moment, another bullet shot towards this side.
Gao Mingcheng's eyesight had improved and he could see the bullet clearly, so he quickly dodged the bullet.
The bullets were empty again, and Gao Mingcheng was afraid that Xiao Song would not know the seriousness of the situation and would continue to shoot, so he quickly shouted: "Don't shoot, I caught the criminal!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the old man falling to the ground and struggling to escape.
However, Gao Mingcheng's kick was so powerful that it directly broke a bone in his waist and back. He struggled several times, but his body was so limp that he was unable to stand up.
Hearing Gao Mingcheng's voice, Gao Guobing's heart tightened and he subconsciously looked towards the bushes where he had been hiding before. He cursed Gao Mingcheng in his heart for being disobedient and actually running after the tomb robbers.
He was worried that Xiao Song might miss the target and hit Gao Mingcheng, so he shouted, "Xiao Song, don't shoot!"
In fact, Gao Guobing didn't need to say this, because Xiao Song had already heard Gao Mingcheng's voice and saw Gao Mingcheng.
Next to Gao Mingcheng, the tomb robber was lying on the ground with a look of pain on his face.
Xiao Song couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw the main culprit lying on the ground.
There are three police officers on this mission. If I let the main culprit go, I will definitely be in trouble when I return!
Xiao Song put away the box gun, ran to Gao Mingcheng happily, and praised him with a smile: "You are really good!"
Gao Mingcheng smiled modestly: "It's OK, I'm from this village and I'm familiar with this mountain."
Xiao Song sighed: "In the bureau, compared with those people, I can run very fast! But it's really not possible in this mountain!"
As he spoke, he was panting and covered in sweat, which showed that he was really tired.
