"Major General Huo, I found a black SUV that's very problematic." Yin Shixiong checked the footage of the black SUV frame by frame. "The license plate number is very unfamiliar. I got the Traffic Control Bureau to check it. This license plate number was invalidated more than ten years ago, and no one has used it until now."
"That's a fake license plate number." Huo Shaoheng rubbed his eyebrows. "Trace this car throughout the city."
"Yes, Chief."
Maybe it wasn't this car. Maybe this car was just in the wrong place at the wrong time.
But they had no other target now, so they would definitely check this car first.
"Are there any other clues?"
Yin Shixiong shook his head. "I've seen the surveillance video of the apartment complex, especially the time when Nianzhi disappeared. Everyone drove in and out, and no one left the complex on foot, so I first ruled out the possibility that they left on foot. "
Huo Shaoheng nodded and asked calmly, "What else?"
His tone was calm and without a trace of ups and downs.
Yin Shixiong sighed at Huo Shaoheng's restraint and patience in his heart as he said, "Zhou Qiyuan controlled the city's traffic 15 minutes after the incident. We just have to see if this car appears in other places."
Huo Shaoheng looked calmly at the tree-lined path in front of him and gave a few orders.
"Get the police station to mobilize grass-roots police officers and members of the security joint defense team to investigate all registered hotels, inns, and homestays. Now, all guests need ID cards to check in. All guests with the wrong ID cards will be detained. "
This was to prevent the other party from kidnapping Gu Nianzhi and hiding in a hotel before they could take her out.
The imperial capital had been reorganized in the past few years. All the big hotels, including the hourly rooms on the street, were connected to the police.
As long as they booked a room, the police would definitely be able to find out.
Yin Shixiong's expression froze. "Yes, Chief!"
Huo Shaoheng walked to the side of his private car. The orderly, Fan Jian, quickly walked over to open the door for him and let him in.
Huo Shaoheng continued, "Inform the Traffic Control Bureau and ask them to set up roadblocks on all the non-motorized roads out of the imperial capital. Tell them that they want to repair the roads and send traffic police to stand guard to check everyone who attempts to leave the imperial capital on foot."
Huo Shaoheng was so strict that Yin Shixiong could only be convinced. "Yes, Chief!"
When Huo Shaoheng returned to the Special Operations Forces headquarters in his private car, Yin Shixiong had already conveyed Huo Shaoheng's orders to the police station and the Traffic Control Bureau. At the same time, he had requested the Traffic Control Bureau to gather the city's traffic surveillance video.
…
The bulletproof car stopped in front of his official residence, but Huo Shaoheng didn't get out. He still sat in the back seat, his eyes unfocused as he quietly looked ahead.
The orderly, Fan Jian, could tell that Huo Shaoheng was in a bad mood and didn't dare to make a sound. He quietly got out of the car and stood guard in front of the car.
The car's soundproofing was very good, completely isolating everything from the outside world. He could even hear the sound of his own heartbeat.
In the quiet car, it was like the pendulum of a hypnotic clock.
But he was not sleepy at all.
Although he had not slept for two days and two nights, he still did not feel sleepy at all.
His mood was like the hazy sky before the eruption of a volcano.
It looked calm and peaceful, but there was lava rolling and shaking at the bottom of the mountain.
Huo Shaoheng closed his eyes and rubbed the space between his brows.
This matter was not so simple. Although he had tried his best to plug every loophole he could, he was still two hours late.
Zhou Qiyuan only paid attention to blocking the motorway and airport channels. What if the other party took Gu Nianzhi out of the city on foot and then met them elsewhere?
However, the other party only had two hours at most. Even if they walked, two hours wouldn't be enough for them to leave the imperial capital.
Of course, even if the other party had already left the imperial capital on foot, it didn't matter.
No matter where she went, he would always find her.
The last time Gu Nianzhi had disappeared in the German Alps, he didn't know at first. When he found out, she was already out of danger. Although he regretted, regretted, and felt guilty, he had never tasted the feeling of worry.
This time, she had disappeared again. Only then did he know what it felt like to lose her.
He never wanted to experience this feeling again in his life.
After he found her this time, he would find a rope and tie her to his body. He would never let her walk alone again.
He made up his mind and picked up his phone. He was about to ask Yin Shixiong and Zhao Liangze about the progress when he suddenly heard a few barks.
He looked up and saw that the short-legged little Ah Ke was jumping outside his car with all his might, trying to see who was in the car.
Unfortunately, his legs were too short and he couldn't jump high enough. He had just popped his head out when he fell down.
No matter how heavy Huo Shaoheng's heart was, he was amused by the short-legged little Ah Ke's appearance.
He looked at his watch. He had actually been sitting alone in the car for 15 minutes.
Huo Shaoheng took a deep breath and pushed open the car door.
The short-legged little Ah Ke immediately came over with its tail between its legs. It sniffed around him, then raised its head and wagged its tail at him desperately. Its dark and watery eyes looked at him, then kept jumping up and looking into the car.
Huo Shaoheng knew who it was looking for. He bent down and rubbed little Ah Ke's head. "It's okay. I'll be back soon …"
Huo Shaoheng actually wasn't confident when he said this, but at this time, he had to be confident.
If even he lost confidence, how disappointed would the short-legged little Ah Ke be?
Gu Nianzhi had been busy for the past two weeks and didn't have time to take care of it, so she left the short-legged little Ah Ke at Huo Shaoheng's official residence and instructed his orderly to take care of it for a few days.
Seeing Huo Shaoheng return, the short-legged little Ah Ke must have thought that Gu Nianzhi had also come to pick it up.
But she hadn't.
Huo Shaoheng pursed his lips, stood up, and walked into the official residence.
The short-legged little Ah Ke didn't follow him in. It squatted down by the big iron gate at the door and stared fixedly in the direction of the path.
Huo Shaoheng turned around and glanced at it. He didn't call it and went into the house alone.
He had returned to the imperial capital in the morning and had only just entered the house.
He was still wearing the military uniform he had worn during the military parade and exercise in Rihe City, but it was already drenched in sweat.
After returning to his room and changing into a clean set of clothes, Huo Shaoheng went to the sixth floor underground of the office building, where the central control room was located.
Zhao Liangze was looking at the information on foreigners who had recently entered the country.
Yin Shixiong was already looking at the surveillance footage from the Traffic Control Bureau.
"What's new?" He stood behind Yin Shixiong and asked.
Yin Shixiong looked at the screen intently and said, "This black SUV was parked in the underground parking lot of Nianzhi's apartment. Judging from the total time, it was parked the day before the incident. It didn't disappear until the 10-minute surveillance footage went blank."
In other words, the car wasn't parked in the underground parking lot ten minutes after the incident.
Huo Shaoheng nodded. "Continue investigating."
Then he walked to Zhao Liangze's side and asked calmly, "Did you find any clues?"
Zhao Liangze shook his head and said in confusion, "There's nothing unusual. Judging from these people's visa applications, their backgrounds are normal. I didn't see any suspicious people."
"Continue investigating." Huo Shaoheng still said the same thing.
At that moment, Yin Shixiong made a new discovery.
"Major General Huo, come and take a look at this …" Yin Shixiong paused the surveillance footage.
Huo Shaoheng walked over.
He crossed his arms and looked behind Yin Shixiong. An 18-wheeler truck appeared on the screen.
Yin Shixiong pulled the progress bar forward, and the image changed. Now, a black SUV drove into the camera.
He pressed play again.
At the busy intersection of the Third Ring Road, a low-key and noble black SUV drove quickly from the direction of Gu Nianzhi's apartment. At that moment, a huge 18-wheeler truck suddenly blocked in front of the camera.
The scene seemed to freeze for a moment, then the truck left. Four identical black SUVs suddenly appeared in front of the camera and drove quickly in four directions.
Yin Shixiong quickly stopped the surveillance video and said excitedly, "Did you see that?! Why did four identical black SUVs suddenly appear?! There was only one before!
Huo Shaoheng's heart also skipped a beat. He said, "Replay the scene just now. Adjust the speed to the lowest possible!"
Yin Shixiong quickly replayed the scene at the lowest speed possible.
The scene skipped almost every second.
This time, they saw it more clearly.
From the moment the black SUV drove over to the moment the 18-wheeler blocked it, the scene was blurred and skipped for a few seconds.
When the 18-wheeler left the scene and the four black SUVs drove in four directions, the scene returned to normal.
Huo Shaoheng frowned, but after watching it several times, it was the same result.
"Check this 18-wheeler truck." Huo Shaoheng put his hands behind his back. "And the four black SUVs. Can you see the license plate numbers?"
"The 18-wheeler can be seen. The four black SUVs were just discovered."
He zoomed in on the scene one by one and found the license plate numbers.
The two of them were speechless. The four cars actually had the same license plate number. It was the fake license plate of the car that came out of Gu Nianzhi's apartment.
"They're trying to mislead us," Yin Shixiong muttered.
Huo Shaoheng didn't say anything. He crossed his arms and stroked his chin with one hand. He muttered, "Put this car on the wanted list all over the country. Just use this license plate. Say that this car is suspected of a major criminal case. Ask everyone to report it and reward them handsomely."
Yin Shixiong quickly sent the news to Zhao Liangze. Zhao Liangze went to contact the police to issue a wanted order.
Huo Shaoheng said again, "Check the 18-wheeler truck."
Yin Shixiong quickly logged into the traffic control bureau's car search system and used the truck's license plate number to check. This time, it went smoothly.
"I found it. The 18-wheeler truck is an oil transport truck from an oil company. The driver's name, address, and contact information are all there."
Huo Shaoheng: "…"
He thought for a moment and instructed Yin Shixiong, "Contact the driver of the 18-wheeler truck first and bring him to the station for questioning."
"Then, put the scene just now on the television station and the Internet in your private name. Collect clues from the public at a high price to see if there were any witnesses in the vehicles that were present at the time."
In other words, while they were putting the black SUV on the wanted list, they were also collecting clues to see what was going on with the sudden appearance of four identical black SUVs.
The appearance of the 18-wheeler truck was too coincidental. Whether it was the time, angle, or direction, it just happened to block the surveillance at that time.
