Chapter 99 Inside Information
At this moment, everyone had the same thought in their minds: Mr. Xia's growth rate was astonishingly fast!
During her last operation, she blamed herself for neglecting Sun Yongfeng who did not appear in the hallucination. But now, she can piece together the real clues and the predicted images like a puzzle, as if with divine help!
Li Qihan's gaze fell on her, and he had the same thought.
Suddenly thinking of something, Li Qihan's deep eyelashes moved.
"The water tower's inference," he suddenly said, his voice still cold and hard, "is crucial."
Finally, he added: "Well done."
Xia Lili suddenly looked up, her eyes wide open.
—The sun is rising from the west? The cold-faced King of Hell, who is known for his tight-lipped words, is actually praising someone?
She suddenly remembered the conversation she had that night when she came back from the supermarket.
——"Why do you never praise me when I do something well?"
——"Why are you praising me? Are you a kindergarten kid?"
So did Li Qihan really notice this after this conversation, or was she overthinking it?
The entire command vehicle suddenly became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. Several officers who were drinking water nearly choked when they heard Li Qihan's praise, and exchanged glances as if they had seen something strange.
Xiao Luo secretly pinched his thigh and grimaced in pain.
This is even more shocking than the last time Captain Li worked overtime for 72 hours without sleep.
You know, when the serial murder case was solved at the end of last year, Li Qiuhan's evaluation of everyone was just a cold "no mistake".
Leng Xiaohe nudged the colleague next to her with her elbow and lowered her voice: "Am I hallucinating?"
Xia Lili's eyes lit up at this moment because she was guided by a professional.
Li Qihan was forced to turn his head away by her scorching gaze and pushed his breakfast towards him: "If you don't eat it now, it will get cold."
Xia Lili responded and finished her breakfast in a few bites. Then she remembered a major problem that was weighing on her mind: "Captain Li, did you guys monitor the route to and from the chemical plant? Did you capture any suspicious individuals?"
Judging from the information in the hallucination, the paparazzi also knew the location of the kidnapping transaction. This time, Lin Hesheng was carrying the ransom and was not followed when he drove onto the highway.
Will these paparazzi appear in waste chemical plants again?
Li Qihan shook his head: "No other suspicious persons have been found yet, but..."
Leng Xiaohe, now wearing a headscarf and disguised as a peasant woman, continued, "There are many farmlands near the factory. We're not sure if these paparazzi will take the more secluded paths and launch a surprise attack. We're arranging personnel to monitor the farmlands for any suspicious individuals."
"There are too many tall people in the special operations team. Everyone can only hunch over in the fields, which is very inconvenient to move around."
The difficulty lies here. This abandoned factory is deserted and no one lives there. We cannot openly set up personnel to guard and stop these troublesome paparazzi. Doing so will undoubtedly tell the kidnappers that there are police lying in ambush nearby.
After hearing what Li Qihan and Leng Xiaohe said, Xia Lili made up her mind and volunteered, "Captain Li, Sister Xiaohe, can I also participate in the defense this time?"
"My vision is 5.3, and I was deeply impressed by the reckless gossip anchor in the hallucination."
Although Xia Lili had already sketched the gossip anchor's face yesterday for reference by the special operations team members, the current surveillance operation would indeed be more effective with Xia Lili's presence.
Li Qihan frowned when he heard this, and Leng Xiaohe's face was also filled with worry.
Leng Xiaohe pondered for a moment and said, "How about this, you follow me closely, follow me every step of the way. If there is any danger, we will run away. Your own safety comes first."
Xia Lili nodded quickly: "Okay."
After Xia Lili finished disguising herself, she and Leng Xiaohe crouched down and came to the farmland beside the road near the abandoned factory.
Leng Xiaohe lowered her voice and placed her finger on her lips to make a silent gesture: "Follow me closely. If anything happens, retreat immediately. Safety first."
Xia Lili blinked and made an "OK" gesture.
The two men took cover under the half-man-high corn bushes and walked silently between the ridges of the fields.
Xia Lili's 5.3-degree eyesight kept scanning the surroundings, but she could not find any trace of the paparazzi.
Several other police officers were also crouching down to search, but they were tall and moved slowly.
Suddenly, Li Qihan's deep, cold voice came from the headset: "Attention, three suspicious vehicles are approaching. One of them is a blue truck that matches the image Xia Lili predicted."
"The kidnappers are here, everyone please hide."
Xia Lili's breathing stagnated. Just as she was about to respond, she caught sight of several sneaky figures out of the corner of her eye.
Five or six men carrying telephoto lenses and holding gimbals were crouching over and moving towards them from the irrigation canal on the other side.
The short man in the front wearing a baseball cap and a black mask was actually the crazy anchor who rushed into the trading scene with a selfie stick in her hallucination!
Xia Lili immediately pulled Leng Xiaohe's sleeve, motioning her to go to the irrigation area while quietly reporting the situation on the intercom.
When everyone received the news, their hearts tightened in an instant!
These paparazzi are really haunting and they came at the wrong time!
Where did they get the news from?
If these paparazzi come over and see them in the farmland, shouting and exposing their position, it will be a big disaster!
Xia Lili's brain was working rapidly - she must not alert the kidnappers now, but she also couldn't let these paparazzi run around.
She suddenly had an idea, tugged at Leng Xiaohe's sleeve, and lowered her voice: "Sister, cooperate with me in a play."
Before Leng Xiaohe could respond, Xia Lili had already crouched over to a nearby police officer, quickly borrowed a camera used for evidence collection, and hung it around his neck: "Old Zhou, lend me your camera, help me!"
Xia Lili took a deep breath, adjusted her expression, and pretended to be panicked as she trotted towards the paparazzi.
"Hey! Are you guys here to film Lin Hesheng's transaction as well?"
Xia Lili lowered her voice, her eyes anxious, "I got separated from my photographer. He said he went to the restroom and I couldn't find him!"
"Hey guys, I'm new in this industry, can you guide me and help me shoot some hot stuff?"
A person suddenly appeared in the farmland, and the paparazzi looked at Xia Lili vigilantly.
The leader of the group, the baseball cap, said in a stern tone: "If you're not bringing anyone else, go play somewhere else and don't hold us back!"
Xia Lili clasped her hands together and said, "Please, I have inside information and I can tell you! But you guys can capture something even more exciting!"
When a group of paparazzi heard the inside information, these four words immediately became popular.
The man in the baseball cap looked at her coldly, pretending to be uninterested: "Who knows whether the inside information you mentioned is true or false."
——"What I said is true, I can verify it! I have the inside track!"
Xia Lili quickly added: "The kidnappers will come in a blue truck!"
As if to confirm her words, the sound of an engine was indeed heard in the distance - the blue truck was slowly driving towards the chemical plant.
The paparazzi's eyes lit up and their attitude immediately became warmer.
The anchor in the baseball cap came closer: "Little sister, what else do you know?"
