Chapter 262 Smuggler
Qin Chaoyang hurriedly grabbed his coat and said to Xia Lili and the others, "Excuse me, I have to go to the sea to deal with an emergency."
"Let's catch up next time we meet."
At the moment when Qin Chaoyang looked up, Xia Lili looked up at him, and their eyes met.
The scene in front of Xia Lili began to become foggy and blurry.
Another hallucination is about to appear.
After experiencing so many pre-made scenes, Xia Lili was able to handle it with ease, but she still felt nervous.
The person looking at her now is the coast guard Qin Chaoyang. Is Qin Chaoyang going to get into trouble at sea?
Hallucinatory images emerge, making it a crime drama.
Three coast guard speedboats cut through the sea like sharp arrows, the roar of their engines deafening.
Qin Chaoyang's speedboat took the lead, keeping a close eye on the modified smuggling boat in front.
The super-powerful engine installed at the stern of the smuggling ship spewed out black smoke, leaving a hideous trail on the blue sea.
Just when the distance between the two ships was shortened to ten meters, Qin Chaoyang suddenly stood up, jumped steadily in the bumpy waves, and jumped directly onto the deck of the smuggling ship with a nimble stride.
Qin Chaoyang rushed forward, and the metal detector in his hand made a rapid "beeping" sound.
He forcefully opened the outer layer of the container, which was disguised as a frozen fish box, revealing the carefully designed lead layer inside.
"This thickness and sealing process are clearly designed to shield against radiation detection!"
After prying open the camouflaged steel plate, he gasped at the neatly stacked vacuum aluminum foil bags.
Each bag of 20 kilograms of gray powder has a strange luster when wrapped in moisture-proof film.
He carefully took a sample while wearing gloves. The delicate touch from his fingertips confirmed his worst suspicion: "This is definitely an undeclared strategic-grade rare earth raw material!"
Qin Chaoyang immediately picked up the intercom: "Report to headquarters, strategic minerals have been discovered..."
Qin Chaoyang's report was suddenly interrupted when his keen hearing detected the subtle sound of footsteps behind him.
He suddenly turned sideways and an iron rod whizzed past his temples.
Qin Chaoyang knocked the attacker down with an elbow strike, his movements clean and neat.
After catching sight of the attacker's accomplice, Qin Chaoyang immediately chased after him.
However, when he caught up to the deck.
On the deck, the smuggler suddenly appeared, pushing a thin figure.
He was a boy of no more than seven or eight years old, half the height of a man, with his baseball cap askew. His mouth, sealed with tape, made a muffled "wuwu" sound, and big tears rolled down his dirty little face.
The boy's limbs were tied purple with rough hemp ropes, and his thin body shivered in the sea breeze.
"Stop!" Qin Chaoyang shouted sternly, his right hand already on the weapon at his waist.
The smuggling leader, grinning, dragged the boy to the side of the boat and said, "Sir, I'll give you a choice."
He dug his dirty fingers into the boy's flesh. "It's these broken ores..."
The smuggler suddenly exerted force and pushed the boy toward the surface of the sea. "Do you still want to live?"
"No!" Qin Chaoyang's roar and the "splash" sound of the boy falling into the sea sounded at the same time.
The surging waves instantly swallowed up the small figure.
Qin Chaoyang jumped into the cold sea without any hesitation.
He paddled hard through the surging waves and grabbed the sinking boy.
Just as he hugged the other person's waist and prepared to float up, the baseball cap was suddenly washed away by the waves -
A face with sinister eyes, deep affection and maturity suddenly appeared!
Before Qin Chaoyang could react, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest.
He looked down and saw that the hemp rope on the "boy" had been loosened at some point, and he was now holding a gleaming dagger, which was deeply stabbed into his chest.
"You...!" Qin Chaoyang's pupils suddenly shrank, and blood gushed out from between his fingers.
The "boy" grinned and kicked him hard in the abdomen with his feet wearing children's shoes.
With the help of the reaction force, the killer flexibly broke free from the restraints and swam away quickly like a shark.
Qin Chaoyang's consciousness began to blur, and his body slowly sank uncontrollably.
Bright red blood spread from his chest, transforming into an enchanting flower in the blue sea.
He stretched out his hand in vain, and the last thing he saw was the baseball cap drifting on the sea, and the boy's gradually disappearing back...
The last scene of the hallucination is a funeral, but this time it is not just Qin Chaoyang’s funeral, a coast guard also died!
In the Coast Guard Cemetery where dark clouds were hanging low, a sea of people stood solemnly.
Two coffins covered with the remains were placed side by side, and the portraits of Qin Chaoyang and another coast guard looked particularly young in the sea of white flowers.
In the photo, there is a smile between Qin Chaoyang's resolute brows, and the police badge of another coast guard is shining in the sun.
Commander Gu from the Jiangcheng General Administration slowly stepped forward.
He stared at the two photos and said in a hoarse but resonant voice: "Comrade Qin Chaoyang and Comrade Nie Xiao died heroically in the pursuit of smuggled strategic minerals..."
Commander Gu took a deep breath, his knuckles white. "The rare earths seized on that ship are enough to manufacture three bases of precision-guided weapons. They sacrificed their lives..."
Commander Gu's voice suddenly choked with sobs, and his red eyes swept over every colleague present:
"...They built a Great Wall on the sea with their lives. When smugglers disguised rare earths as frozen fish, it was Comrade Chaoyang who discovered the lead layer; when the enemy cut off communications, it was Comrade Nie Xiao who risked his life to transmit the final location."
Commander Gu straightened his back. "Today we lost not only two outstanding police officers, but also two iron lines of defense guarding our country's borders. But please remember—"
He suddenly raised his voice, "Every gram of strategic resources that was intercepted is a medal forged with their blood!"
Commander Gu raised his hand and saluted after he finished speaking, and the gesture spread throughout the venue like ripples.
The sound of three hundred police officers standing at attention startled the white pigeons among the pines and cypresses in the cemetery.
The illusion ends here.
Xia Lili felt like a heavy stone was pressing on her chest, making it hard to breathe.
There's something wrong with the little boy in the hallucination!
How could an ordinary child have the courage and strength to stab a knife into someone's chest?
Xia Lili recalled a case in which a killer with dwarfism disguised himself as a child to kill people.
Five years ago, a wealthy man was murdered on a private yacht. Surveillance footage showed that only a "child" was on board, but the autopsy showed that the murderer's force was enough to break the cervical vertebrae.
The police found out that the murderer was a professional killer with dwarfism who often disguised himself as an 8-year-old child.
He used a toy car to hide the murder weapon. When committing the crime, he would deliberately cry to lure the victim closer, and then strangle him with judo.
After the case was closed, it was discovered that he was involved in a total of 6 murders. Each time he approached the target as a "missing child" and almost always succeeded!
Xia Lili stood up immediately after her vision returned, but Qin Chaoyang was no longer in sight!
Xia Lili hurriedly chased after him, but just happened to see Qin Chaoyang closing the taxi door and driving away.
She didn't dare to delay at all and immediately called Li Qihan.
