In the afternoon, not long after Mu Qiao left the hospital, a doctor entered Qiao Lubai's ward. About half an hour later, the doctor left.
When the nurse entered the ward, she did not see Qiao Lubai, so she notified Mu Qiao.
After watching the surveillance video, Mu Qiao's eyes were fixed on the back of the doctor who was leaving. The more she watched, the more she felt that the back was very familiar, as if it was...
Oh no, it's a revolver!
Mu Qiao had seen the photo of Revolver, and the person who handed over the photo of Revolver was Xilan who had been arrested before.
The doctor's back in the surveillance video is very similar to Revolver's back.
But after Revolver entered Qiao Lubai’s ward, only Revolver came out. So where was Qiao Lubai in the ward?
Mu Qiao had searched the ward inside and out, but found no trace of Qiao Lubai.
She also checked the windows of the hospital, and found that they were all barred, so people couldn't get out.
...
...
Mu Qiao thought calmly for a while, and then an idea flashed in his mind, "There must be something wrong with the surveillance video."
The next moment, Mu Qiao carefully checked the time on the surveillance video. Sure enough, a part of the surveillance video had been deleted. This part of the video must be the scene where Qiao Lubai was taken away.
According to the answer from the staff in the monitoring room, they were changing shifts during that period of time, and the two shifts gathered together to check the work flow and neglected the monitoring footage.
From this we can see that the person who deleted the video footage was very familiar with the hospital monitoring room, and all the footage he deleted was from the time when Qiao Lubai disappeared.
Moreover, the person who deleted the videos was very meticulous. All the videos from Qiao Lubai’s ward to the time he left the hospital were deleted.
Mu Qiao discovered that the last set of videos deleted were from the back door of the hospital, which meant that Qiao Lubai was taken away from the back door of the hospital.
With this clue, Mu Qiao immediately contacted Captain Qi of the Security Command and asked his navy to enter the city in plain clothes to assist her in the search.
Mu Qiao has already surveyed the two main roads behind the hospital, one going south to Zhongmen Port and the other going north to Xinmen Port.
These two main roads are the main routes leaving the large ports on the sea, but she believed that since Revolver had gone to great lengths to take Qiao Lubai away, he would definitely not take him to these two ports.
It is possible that the most dangerous place is the safest place, after all, it is darkest under the lamp.
Captain Qi integrated a company's forces and waited for Mu Qiao's arrangements.
Although Mu Qiao felt that it was impossible for Revolver to take Qiao Lubai to these two ports, he did not relax the search.
She first notified the local police, secretly controlled the two major ports, and reported any suspicious persons immediately.
She and Captain Qi's men changed into casual clothes and, starting from the hospital, began to inquire and search the surrounding ten-kilometer area, trying not to disturb anyone, but being so meticulous as to chat with an old man practicing Tai Chi in the park.
Sometimes the public's observation skills are very accurate, and the people they suspect are definitely abnormal.
Especially in each residential area and community, there are only a few people going in every day. If a stranger suddenly appears, they will question him.
Places such as shopping malls and hotels are also within the search scope. These areas are more complicated and require some means.
Captain Qi's men had already been deployed, but Mu Qiao took Captain Qi to the maritime black road transportation center.
This black road, as the name suggests, is an illegal transportation terminal.
People here go against their conscience for money. No matter who the other party is, they will do anything as long as they are paid.
Mu Qiao and Captain Qi disguised themselves as cargo transport merchants, claiming that they had a large number of goods that they did not want to go through customs and pay large taxes, and wanted to go through a dark route.
Although the owners of the illegal cargo ships want to make money, they have to verify the authenticity of large quantities of cargo.
Mu Qiao took out her work ID from the Mo Group. She had met with President Mo before coming and revealed her identity.
Mu Qiao checked Mo Mingxuan and found that he was a decent businessman and there was no problem with him. That was why she revealed her identity and hoped that Mo Mingxuan would help her.
Of course, she did not come here on behalf of the Mo Group this time, but she shipped a batch of goods behind the back of the Mo Group to enrich herself.
After knowing the reason, the owner of the Heilu ship agreed, and that night, the batch of goods that Mu Qiao mentioned was loaded onto the cargo ship.
The business was done and the money was paid in advance, so the owner of the black road cargo ship told Mu Qiao everything he knew.
At first they talked about the benefits of transporting goods through illegal means and reducing costs. Gradually, the ship owner relaxed his vigilance against Mu Qiao and Captain Qi.
Mu Qiao took the opportunity to ask, "Has anything unusual happened to you guys in the black road transportation recently? We are people who make money secretly, and we are most afraid of that kind of sudden incident."
The ship owner frowned and thought for a while, as if he had thought of something, and slowly said, "Yesterday there was a cargo ship that didn't carry any cargo, but carried a group of people. This should be considered an unusual thing."
Mu Qiao felt something was wrong when she heard this. She looked at Captain Qi and continued to ask the ship owner, "Are they transporting it in or out?"
"Ship it out." The boat owner frowned and said in confusion, "I think these people are very strange. A group of people are surrounding one person, and the person being surrounded has an injured arm."
Mu Qiao and Captain Qi were shocked when they heard this. They were already certain that it was Zuo Lun's men who had held Qiao Lubai hostage, but they did not reveal it in front of the ship owner.
"They should be those fearless people on the road. It's nothing special." Captain Qi replied, with an indifferent look on his face.
The ship owner thought so too, but Captain Qi's words aroused his curiosity. "It's really nothing strange. I just wonder why they would go to Gufang Town. There are mountains over there. Where can they recuperate? It's impossible. The medical conditions over there are extremely poor. If they want to heal, it's best to be at sea."
The ship owner was muttering to himself. Mu Qiao and Captain Qi stopped talking after hearing about Gufang Town.
That night, the cargo ship was intercepted by the coast guard when passing through Gufang Town. All the cargo was seized, and the ship owner, Mu Qiao, and Captain Qi were taken to the police station.
"Thank you for your cooperation!" Mu Qiao and Captain Qi saluted the Coast Guard Brigade together, and then left under the cover of night.
Mu Qiao and Captain Qi learned from the ship owner that Qiao Lubai was taken to Gufang Town by Zuo Lun's men, and immediately contacted the coast guard outside Gufang Town.
With the cooperation of the coast guard, the illegal cargo ship was caught, and they took the opportunity to escape and hide in Gufang Town.
The town of Gufang is surrounded by mountains on all sides, and outside the mountains is the sea. It is impossible to escape without a boat.
Why did the people from Revolver bring Qiao Lubai here?
Captain Qi had been to Gufang Town before. It was during a naval training session, and many new recruits got lost in the mountains. Fortunately, local villagers released hunting dogs into the mountains to search for them.
Yes, the hounds can help them!
Captain Qi found the mayor's house based on his memory and borrowed two hunting dogs that were born and raised in the village.
Mu Qiao took out the clothes worn by Qiao Lubai and let the hound smell them. The hound immediately led the way after smelling the scent.
The two hounds had a very keen sense of smell. In less than an hour, they entered the mountain and found some clues.
