The village chief continued, "The Li brothers rarely interact with the villagers. Their wives never chat with the women in the village. The men in our village envy them for how well they discipline their women. Even if the men are out, they stay home. Except for a few words every week when Liu Lao San brings them some food, they rarely interact with others."
Liu Laosan: "Oh, that's right. Every time I deliver food over, Li Da's wife rarely talks to me. She will only say a few words if I ask a few questions. A few times I saw bruises on her hands and asked her what happened. She said she accidentally bumped into something. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that the old man in the family beat her. I once ran into Li Da and his wife going out together. His wife followed behind them. When Li Da approached her, she trembled a little in fear. This Li Da is really not a good guy. He must beat his wife often, otherwise his wife wouldn't be so afraid of him. I rarely see Li Er's wife. She basically stays at home every day. Although the two brothers live separately, they don't live in separate rooms. They eat together at Li's house."
Liu Haibo listened carefully to what the village chief and Liu Laosan were saying, and extracted useful information from their words. The two Li brothers had a certain anti-reconnaissance awareness, but they were a little too concerned about keeping a distance from others, which led to their behavior being somewhat abnormal compared to the villagers. After visiting and investigating the villagers, they all said that their family was mysterious and there must be something going on, but not many people were willing to investigate.
After understanding the general situation, Liu Haibo organized a team meeting to develop a rescue plan.
Liu Haibo: "After summarizing the information we've collected, everyone has a pretty good idea of the situation. Now we need to formulate a detailed action plan. My current suggestion is this: when it's time for Liu Laosan to deliver the food, we'll have a plainclothes officer deliver it instead. The reason is that Liu Laosan's family is busy and can't deliver the food. The plainclothes officer will disguise himself as Liu Laosan's nephew. It just so happens that Liu Laosan's nephew has been staying at their house for the past few days. Most people in the village know that the plainclothes officer looks similar to Liu Laosan's nephew. The Li family doesn't often interact with outsiders. Although they've heard of him, they haven't seen him in person, so it won't attract much attention. What are your opinions?"
"After the plainclothes officers go in disguise, they will try to understand the general situation of the courtyard as much as possible. After the plainclothes officers come out and understand the general situation, after dark, when everyone in the courtyard is asleep, they will send people to find the cellar. It is estimated that the abducted children are being held in the cellar. Only by finding the abducted children can we have substantial evidence. Under the premise of ensuring the safety of the hostages, we can then take collective action to try to capture the entire gang of human traffickers in one fell swoop."
The police listened to Chief Liu Haibo's preliminary action plan and all of them agreed. After all, they didn't know the suspects' residence, number of people, weapons and equipment, and they still had hostages in their hands. Trying to find out as much information as possible before taking action would be more conducive to ensuring the safety of the hostages, and this was also the best option at the moment.
After confirming the action plan with everyone, Liu Haibo found Gu Chengfeng and told him the general action plan. Originally, Gu Chengfeng did not belong to the police system, so he did not need to be informed of the action plan, but Gu Chengfeng was from the special forces of the army, and his covert reconnaissance ability was much stronger than that of the police in the police station.
The reason why Liu Haibo told Gu Chengfeng was that he wanted Gu Chengfeng to take action. As the captain of the army's elite unit, Gu Chengfeng's skills and abilities were much stronger than his own police station scouts. Letting Gu Chengfeng participate in the operation would achieve twice the result with half the effort. Gu Chengfeng's main task was to sneak into the suspect's residence in the second half of the night to scout the situation, find the hostages, and work together inside and outside to ensure the safety of the hostages and capture all gang members at the same time.
Gu Chengfeng accepted the task. The police have already set up surveillance near Brother Li’s house, and there are plainclothes officers lurking at all entrances and exits. All they can do now is wait.
