Chapter 133: A Woman Who Can Make a Meritorious Deed by Losing a Cell Phone
After all, Xia Lili has extraordinary eyesight.
Jiang Yun raised the corners of his lips slightly, revealing a soothing smile: "No need to apologize to me."
His tone was gentle but firm, "Your business is more important."
His voice was indulgent. "Besides, I promised to teach you how to swim, and I won't break my promise. Call me anytime you're free."
Xia Lili nodded heavily.
Jiang Yun took a taxi back to the swimming training base, while Xia Lili took a taxi to the Yangcheng Public Security Bureau.
Leng Xiaohe saw Xia Lili coming and hurriedly said, "Lili, didn't you bring your phone back?"
"I noticed that the phone went to an unfamiliar place after leaving Jinzhou North. It doesn't look like your home."
"Sister Xiaohe, I came back to the bureau just for this matter."
Xia Lili waved her hand. "To cut a long story short, how many people from the Criminal Investigation Team are in the bureau today? Let's have a meeting."
After Xia Lili finished speaking, she hurried into Conference Room No. 1 and began writing and drawing on the whiteboard.
Leng Xiaohe saw Xia Lili's back with a sense of decisiveness and suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
She had a guess in her mind that Xia Lili might have foreseen some major case.
He quickly turned around and called a meeting with the police officers from the Criminal Investigation Detachment who were currently in the bureau.
In the conference room, Xia Lili described in detail the bad luck she had foreseen when she encountered the mobile phone thief named A Quan today.
"In other words, it's very likely that the murderer poured cement into Ah Quan's body and sealed it in a cement barrel?"
After listening to Xia Lili's narration, Luo Xiao got goose bumps all over his body.
Leng Xiaohe added: "And this murderer killed more than just A Quan using the same method."
Another police officer concluded: "The murderers are a gang. They stole so many cigarettes and alcohol from the warehouse, but when they came to our door, their main target was the account book. This shows that this account book is very important."
"What kind of account book is so valuable?" Xia Lili touched his chin.
Leng Xiaohe grasped a key point: "After discovering the warehouse had been stolen, the other party didn't call the police. Instead, they kidnapped Ah Quan and forced him to reveal the whereabouts of the account books and who sent him. I'm afraid the business they're running is shady."
Luo Xiao hugged his arms. Just listening to Xia Lili's description of the scene with cement barrels all over the floor made him feel terrified: "They would kill for an account book. I guess the business they do is..."
Li Qihan listened to what everyone was saying, his face grim. "It could be the smuggling gang's account book for dividing up the spoils."
He raised his eyes to look at Xia Lili: "You said the warehouse you saw was very dilapidated and remote?"
Xia Lili nodded her chin slightly. "Through the warehouse window in my hallucination, I can see mountains and forests."
——"I'm afraid there's more than just ordinary cigarettes and alcohol in there. There might be something else hidden."
Li Qihan clutched the pen in his hand and said, "This idiot sold it along with the cigarettes and alcohol."
Luo Xiao was shocked: "Captain Li, you mean..."
Li Qi said coldly, "I'm afraid we'll have to cooperate with the Narcotics Squad this time."
"We now need to find his home address, send someone to keep an eye on him, and track him to the warehouse address."
Li Qihan said to the officer from the technical department, "Check the location tracking of Officer Xia's phone for the past two days."
The police officer from the technical department operated on the computer, and the projection showed A Quan's movement trajectory.
The movement trajectory retrieved by the police started from Yangcheng Airport.
After leaving the airport with Xia Lili's cell phone, the short and thin man named A Quan went to Yangcheng's commercial street and night market...all of which are densely populated, prosperous and wealthy places.
"This guy probably takes over 20,000 steps a day! He's dominating the WeChat Moments exercise step chart."
Xia Lili looked at the densely packed movement tracks on the map, which almost covered several districts of Yangcheng. She was glad that her mobile phone was fully charged when she went out, and that the battery of the mobile phone provided by the bureau was very durable.
At two o'clock in the morning, the phone's trajectory stopped at a self-built house in the suburbs and did not move until ten o'clock this morning, when A Quan took the phone out and went to Jinzhou North Electronic Mall.
Li Qihan circled the self-built houses on the map: "Group 7, Linjiang Village, Wutong Street, Yunlin District."
After locking down A Quan's residence, everyone couldn't help but get excited.
Leng Xiaohe sighed, "Lili, let me just say you have incredible luck in solving cases."
"Even a lost cell phone can provide clues to a case."
Luo Xiao's eyes flickered with eagerness when he heard this. "Since we already know the characteristics of the phone, why don't we just break into his house, get the phone with the warehouse photo, follow the clues to the warehouse, and then stake out."
Leng Xiaohe frowned slightly: "Then the problem comes."
"In Lili's hallucination, we don't know when Ah Quan went to the warehouse. We can't guarantee that we will be able to see the goods in the warehouse when we go there, and the mysterious safe is also in the warehouse."
"Whether we can catch them all or just alert the enemy is unknown."
Xia Lili understood: "Simply put, if we police get the phone now, we can only seize the goods in the warehouse, but we can't arrest the person."
Leng Xiaohe folded her arms and nodded. "After we find the warehouse, we will definitely need to stake out a spot there. However, they are more familiar with the surrounding terrain than we are. We may not be sure that we can catch them all near the warehouse."
The police officer fell silent after hearing this.
They all thought of the experience of catching the murderer of the Cat's Eye murder case in the mountains last time. It took a team of 500 people to catch a serial killer.
Not to mention, this time we are facing a ruthless criminal gang and we cannot act rashly.
"So the best approach is to let the first half of the hallucination unfold naturally. We won't interfere with the events, but will simply follow Ah Quan, observe and record any useful information, and make secret arrangements."
Li Qihan folded his hands and rested them on his chin, his eyes burning. "We can choose two timings to take action. The first is when the other party comes to kidnap someone, and we can capture them all in one fell swoop."
"The second one is that they came to Ah Quan's house, tied him up, and then tracked them to their lair."
"Which plan to use depends on the next situation."
Luo Xiao nodded: "Then I will contact the police officers from the Wutong Subdistrict Police Station in Yunlin District and have them keep an eye on Ah Quan's residence in plain clothes."
Leng Xiaohe stood up: "I'll contact the drug enforcement team."
Li Qihan's eyes were stern, his voice low and sharp: "This operation must be foolproof. The enemy is a vicious smuggling gang. Remember - safety first, action second. I want everyone to return alive."
In cases involving the smuggling of contraband, the risks faced by police officers are much higher than in other cases. After all, they are facing a group of people who value money more than their lives.
Xia Lili unconsciously clenched the notebook in her hand, her knuckles turning slightly white. She swallowed quietly, feeling her throat tighten.
Every word Li Qihan said hit her heart like a sledgehammer, making the hairs on the back of her neck stand up.
This was her first time facing a case involving contraband, and the dangers she had only heard about in the news and documentaries suddenly became extremely real.
