Chapter 349 Rescue!
An old woman with gray hair and a hunched body rushed down to the cellar tremblingly at the sound.
She immediately saw her son lying in a pool of blood and let out a shrill wail.
Without the slightest hesitation, her cloudy eyes blazed with insane hatred. She suddenly picked up the piece of pottery still stained with her son's blood and pounced on the trembling woman who had just finished resisting...
The illusion ended abruptly.
Xia Lili took a deep breath, her heart pounding, as if she had just escaped from that bloody and desperate cellar, and her back was instantly soaked with cold sweat.
Directly witnessing an impending, cyclical revenge tragedy, the huge shock it brought made Xia Lili feel physically uncomfortable and terrified.
Xia Lili suppressed the fear surging in her chest and focused all her attention on analyzing the details she had just seen.
Her brain was working rapidly, analyzing the hallucinations in her mind frame by frame.
Xia Lili took a deep breath and spoke through the encrypted channel, "I just saw the doom scene again. It's the dark-skinned man standing diagonally to your right. He has scars on his hands."
"I captured some key information in the hallucination. There should be a cellar in his house! There's a woman imprisoned in the cellar!"
"The entrance to the cellar should be relatively hidden, the interior should be low, and there should be bunches of corn cobs that have not been fully threshed hanging above the earthen walls, and there should be a lot of mold on the walls."
"In one corner of the cellar were piled a large number of potatoes with blackened skin and sprouting."
"There were some broken pottery fragments scattered in the corner of the cellar, which seemed to come from a broken pickle jar. There were bird patterns on the pottery fragments."
Xia Lili reported these information points and what happened in the hallucination scene to other police officers.
After receiving the order, the "Mountain Eagle" scanned the crowd quickly and silently with its eyes like the most sophisticated radar.
He instantly locked onto the target man with dark skin and scars on his hands.
Almost at the same time, he keenly noticed another older man with equally sinister eyes standing next to the man.
There were also several similar, darkened, old scratches on his thick forearms.
Their residence must be determined!
Mountain Eagle pondered for a moment, his face immediately filled with the fatigue of a long-distance trader and a yearning for home-cooked delicacies. He smacked his lips, sighed loudly, and naturally changed the subject from mountain products:
"Well, fellow villagers, the mountain products here are good, but my brother and I have been traveling outside all year round, sleeping in the open air, and what we miss most is a taste of home-cooked food!"
He looked at the two targeted men and the other villagers, his tone earnest and somewhat complaining:
"For example, the pickled beans and spicy radish in the jar are perfect with rice!"
"You can't buy that flavor anywhere else! Who in your village makes the best pickled vegetables?"
"Can you give us some? The price is negotiable, I guarantee it'll be higher than what you sell it for in town!"
His "throwing a brick to stimulate jade" complaint immediately resonated with the audience, and a villager nearby casually followed up with:
"Pickled vegetables? Then you've got the right person to ask!"
The villagers pointed at the dark-skinned man and said, "Heiwazi, his family and his eldest brother's family." Then they pointed at the older man next to them and said, "Their mothers' cooking skills are the best in our village! Their pickled cabbage is so crispy and fragrant!"
"Really? That's great!"
"Mountain Eagle" immediately showed an "ecstatic" expression on his face, and said to the man called "Black Boy" and his elder brother:
"Two big brothers, look at this... would you mind taking us to have a look?"
"If it tastes as good as this guy said, we'll definitely buy more!"
Heiwazi and his elder brother looked at each other, and there was a subtle hint of vigilance in their eye contact.
But the performance of "Mountain Eagle" was flawless, he was just a greedy dealer who was willing to pay a high price.
Finally, Heiwazi vaguely pointed in a direction deeper into the village:
"That's my house over there with a lot of broken pots piled up at the door. My brother's house is next door."
"There are pickles, but I don't have time to take you there right now. I'll ask my eldest brother to bring you a few jars."
With just this casual pointing and words, "Mountain Eagle" and Xia Lili at the rear command post had already accurately locked onto two extremely suspicious target houses that were adjacent to each other.
After receiving the precise location information from the "Mountain Eagle", Leng Xiaohe, who was in charge of dispatching, immediately issued the order without hesitation:
"Intelligence acquired, evacuate immediately! I repeat, evacuate immediately! The enemy may be stalling for time, and the risk of staying further is uncontrollable!"
When the order came, "Mountain Eagle" took the pickled vegetables sent by Heiwa's elder brother and paid for them promptly.
His expression remained unchanged. He simply pulled out the old keypad phone from his pocket, pressed the answer button, and his tone instantly became extremely anxious:
"What?! The truck was hit in town? The cargo was scattered?! Okay, okay! Wait! I'll be right there! This is really..."
He hung up the phone and flashed an extremely annoyed and apologetic expression to the surrounding villagers. "Ouch! Folks, I'm so sorry! Something big happened in town. Our lent truck was hit by someone, and we have to rush over to deal with it immediately!"
"I can't harvest this thing today, but I'll definitely come back next time!"
The "Nightingale" on the side also cooperated immediately. While apologizing repeatedly, she began to hurriedly pack up the small amount of mountain products that had just been weighed. Her movements were urgent and real.
The villagers seemed a little surprised, but the reasons given by the other party were reasonable and they could not find an excuse to force them to stay.
All they could do was watch as the two men hurriedly jumped onto the pickup truck, kicked up a cloud of dust, and quickly drove away from Wangshi Village along the way they came.
The truck did not drive far away, but turned a few corners. After confirming that no one was following it, it quickly drove back to the temporary command point hidden in the woods.
As soon as they got off the car, the two of them quickly walked into the tent and met up with Xia Lili and the command team.
Everyone immediately gathered around the electronic map. "Mountain Eagle" quickly marked the precise locations of the Heiwazi brothers' houses, as well as the two suspicious locations previously identified in Aotou Village.
"Four target locations have been confirmed," Xia Lili pointed at the map and said in a firm tone.
"The operation is scheduled for 3:00 AM, when the human body is most exhausted and alert. The assault team will be divided into four teams, acting in sync and striving for a quick victory! The rescue team, equipped with medical equipment, will meet at the evacuation point."
"The evacuation route won't take the main road. Everyone will go through this hidden mountain trail we explored during the day and move to the second assembly point separately!"
The atmosphere in the tent was solemn and tense, and a detailed battle plan was quickly deployed.
