Dali City, the interrogation room of the Criminal Investigation Unit.
A man in his forties was handcuffed to the interrogation chair. He looked flustered and his hands were trembling slightly.
The door of the interrogation room opened and Xia Mingke walked in with a police officer.
Xia Mingke threw the documents on the interrogation table and sat on it. He looked at the interrogation chair opposite him, "Wu Yongzhen, do you know why we arrested you?"
"I don't know, police comrade. Why?"
"Hehe, it's right that you don't know. We're just playing with you. We'll let you go in a while."
"Really? Why are you guys making such a joke? "
Xia Mingke asked, "If I said we're bored, would you believe it yourself?"
Wu Yongzhen was so anxious that he was about to cry, "Why? I didn't do anything? "
"I think you won't shed a tear until you see the coffin. I've seen plenty of people like you."
"I really didn't do anything. I swear to God."
"Do you know Gao Xiaopo and Sun Xutong?"
"No."
"You're so stubborn. You don't know them but they know you. They've clearly confessed that you guys sold illegal drugs together. If you don't confess, the police can only accept their testimony. If you don't confess, they'll be the ones to identify you. I believe they'll cherish this opportunity to reduce their sentence. "
"I really don't know these two people. I don't know what you're talking about."
Xia Mingke smiled, "It's okay. If you want to waste time, let's continue. I have plenty of time."
"Knock knock …"
There was a knock on the door.
"Come in."
The door of the interrogation room opened and Han Bin walked in.
"Captain Han, why are you here?"
"Captain Xia, is the interrogation going well?"
"This Wu guy is stubborn and stubborn. How's Sun Xutong's interrogation?"
"Sun Xutong has confessed. He admitted that he was involved in selling illegal drugs."
Xia Mingke raised his chin and said to Wu Yongzhen, "Did you hear that? Your accomplice has confessed. If you continue to be stubborn, you'll only be a stepping stone for others to reduce their sentence. "
"I'm not, police comrade. You must be mistaken. I've never done anything illegal."
"Bang!" Xia Mingke slammed the table fiercely. "You're still quibbling? I think you want to stay in jail forever."
"I'm not quibbling. I'm telling the truth."
Han Bin observed Wu Yongzhen's expression and felt that his emotions did not seem fake. "Captain Xia, can I ask a few questions?"
Xia Mingke glanced at Han Bin. "Captain Han, this old man is very stubborn. It won't be that easy to convince him."
"I know, I just wanted to chat with him for a while."
"Ask away."
Han Bin walked to Wu Yongzhen's side and asked, "Did you send a package to Qingdao last month?"
"Qin Island? No, I don't know anyone in Qin Island, who would I send the package to? "
"Do you know Gao Xiaopo?"
"I don't know her."
"Sun Xutong."
"I don't know her."
"Lu Zhen!"
Wu Yongzhen quickly nodded. "Yes, I know him."
"What's your relationship with Lu Zhen?"
"We are friends and business partners."
"What kind of business?"
"Wholesale fruit business."
"How do you divide the work? How long have you known each other? "
"I'm in charge of domestic sales and he's in charge of importing fruits from Myanmar. We've known each other for three or four years and have been doing business together for two years."
"Where's Lu Zhen?"
"Usually, I'm in the market looking after the stores and contacting customers while he's in charge of warehouse management and shipping goods. He should be in the warehouse at this time, but he heard that I was arrested by the police, so he should have gone back to the market to check on the situation. Officer, I've always been doing legitimate business, I've never done anything illegal. "
"Is 1352384 XXXX your phone number?"
"This is our warehouse number. I registered it with my ID, but this phone is usually kept in the warehouse. I've never personally used it."
Han Bin asked back, "What's Lu Zhen's phone number?"
"154938 XXXX, officer, what does this have to do with Lu Zhen?"
Han Bin didn't answer. Instead, he said to Xia Mingke, "Captain Xia, can you please get someone to locate this phone number?"
Xia Mingke was experienced in handling cases and vaguely guessed something. "Captain Han, do you think this Lu Zhen is the person we're looking for?"
"According to Sun Xutong, his online name is Lu Zhen. I asked him to identify the photo, but he didn't know Wu Yongzhen. Judging from the current situation, Lu Zhen is likely to have used the identity of a business partner to evade arrest. "
Xia Mingke's face darkened. "Captain Han, how confident are you?"
"Let's locate him first. If we can locate Lu Zhen's location, we can ask him to verify the situation. If we can't locate him, it will increase the suspicion of Lu Zhen. "
"You're right, this is indeed a solution, but we can't just wait like this." Xia Mingke walked in front of Wu Yongzhen. "Does Lu Zhen have a means of transportation?"
"Yes. He has a black car. "
"What brand is it? What's the license plate number? "
"Volkswagen. The license plate number is Dian A1834HD."
"Where is this car usually kept?"
"It's in our warehouse."
"What's the specific location of your warehouse?"
"Yuxiang Road, Baiziyuan Industrial Zone, Warehouse 104."
After asking about the situation, Xia Mingke called his men over to assign tasks. One was to investigate Lu Zhen's phone number, and the other was to go to the traffic police station to investigate the whereabouts of Lu Zhen's car.
…
Half an hour later, in the conference room of Dali City's Criminal Investigation Unit.
Han Bin and Xia Mingke sat on both sides of the conference table, while the Criminal Investigation Unit members from Harima and Dali City lined up in order.
"Ahem …" Xia Mingke coughed softly. "Almost everyone is here. Let's start the meeting."
"There's a problem with the arrest this time. Everyone should know that. I won't describe the specific situation. The main responsibility lies with me … Captain Han, please say a few words."
Han Bin nodded and continued, "I'm in charge of arresting another suspect, Sun Xutong. According to Sun Xutong's confession, his online name is Lu Zhen. I've asked him to identify him, and he's Wu Yongzhen's business partner. Judging from the current situation, Lu Zhen is likely to have used Wu Yongzhen's identity to commit the crime, and he's probably on the run. "
Xia Mingke echoed, "Captain Han is right. The technical department has located Lu Zhen's phone number, but it's currently unreachable, and we can't locate him. In addition, I've asked someone to check Lu Zhen's car at the traffic police station, and they found that not long after Wu Yongzhen was arrested, he drove all the way west, and it's very likely that he's trying to flee abroad.
Based on the above, Lu Zhen should be the suspect we're trying to catch. "
Han Bin looked at the map on the table. "Captain Xia, is it too late to stop Lu Zhen now?"
Xia Mingke pointed at the map and said, "Dali City is here, and further west is the border of Myanmar. I've caught a lot of drug dealers in the past, and many of them will escape along this route after they're exposed. Based on my experience, there are two routes to escape to Myanmar. The first route is to enter the country. This route is easier to take, and it's all highways. However, there are checkpoints along the way, and you'll need to pass through the border checkpoints.
The second route is a primeval forest on the border between the two countries. It's impossible to drive, and the road is very difficult to walk. You'll need to pass through the primeval forest to reach the country. Many drug dealers will choose this route. "
"Captain Han, there's no time to lose. I suggest that we split up and investigate. Each of us will lead a team to follow a route."
After listening to Xia Mingke's simple introduction, Han Bin understood what he meant. However, he was not familiar with the situation around Dali City, and he was even more confused about the geographical concept.
"Captain Xia, tell me your plan."
Xia Mingke nodded. "Since you're not familiar with the geographical location of Dian Zhou, I suggest that you go directly to the border checkpoint and block the possibility of Lu Zhen escaping through the regular route.
I'll lead a team to follow Lu Zhen's car along the road. If the car drives all the way to the border checkpoint, we'll meet there. If he abandons the car midway and enters the primeval forest, I'll lead a team into the forest to follow him. I'll catch him even if I have to dig three feet into the ground! "
Xia Mingke gritted his teeth as he spoke. The failure of this arrest mission had made him lose a lot of face.
Han Bin thought for a while and agreed to Xia Mingke's plan. It was still the same old saying, it was better not to do it than to make a mistake.
Han Bin was a northerner and had never been to the primeval forest in his life. It would be really hard for him to go there to catch a fugitive. Moreover, he was not familiar with the local police. If something really happened, he would not know who to turn to for help.
After leaving the conference room, Zhao Ming could not help but complain, "This Captain Xia really knows how to arrange a mission. He wants us to wait at the border checkpoint. Lu Zhen is not stupid. He knows that he's a wanted man, so why would he walk right into the trap?"
Wang Xiao said, "This Captain Xia is also a proud person. This operation caught the wrong person and let the real suspect escape. He must feel that he has lost a lot of face and is holding back his anger. He must want to catch Lu Zhen with his own hands, so it's appropriate to let him go. With his arrogance, even if Lu Zhen runs deep into the Lin Mountains, he will still chase after him and bite him.
Taking a step back, we're the ones who caught Sun Xutong and provided the clues to Lu Zhen. The main credit for this case is definitely ours. There's no need to fight with him for this' hard work '. "
Han Bin basically agreed with Wang Xiao's idea and said, "Alright, pack up and go to the border checkpoint immediately."
Zhao Ming asked, "Captain Han, Lu Zhen has been running for a while. If he really escapes from the border checkpoint and we chase after him, will we be able to catch up?"
"To go to the border, there are a lot of checkpoints along the way. As long as the police apply for an assistance notice in advance, the inspection will be stricter. It will take a lot of time for vehicles to pass through. On the other hand, we have the police's procedures, so we will be able to pass through unimpeded. The time it takes to reach the border checkpoint will be even shorter. "
Hearing Han Bin's words, the others had no objections and began to move.
…
Just as Wang Xiao had guessed, Xia Mingke was indeed holding back his anger.
Well, the arrest operation that was supposed to be successful actually went wrong, and he even made such a big mistake. He had lost all his face, so how could he not be anxious?
More importantly, not only did he lose face in the Dali City Police Station, but he also lost face in front of the Qin Island Police Station. This made him feel ashamed to face Han Bin, Wang Xiao, and the others.
However, Xia Mingke was able to reach this position, so he wasn't someone who would be easily knocked down. He would climb back up from where he had fallen.
He secretly swore in his heart that he must catch the suspect named Lu Zhen. Otherwise, it would be a big stain on his career as a police officer.
Xia Mingke still had a certain degree of confidence in catching Lu Zhen. First, he sent his team members to the traffic police to track the suspect's car. Second, he also contacted the police dog team for assistance.
More importantly, he had many years of experience in the anti-drug team in arresting drug eaters. No matter how cunning Lu Zhen was, could he be compared to drug eaters?
With the assistance of the Dali City traffic police, Xia Mingke led his team to track the suspect. Just as they were about to leave the border of Dali City, the traffic police sent news that Lu Zhen's car didn't appear at the next intersection. It was very likely that he had abandoned the car and escaped.
Xia Mingke looked at the map. There was a checkpoint near the border of Dali City. The suspect abandoned the car and escaped, most likely to avoid the checkpoint and directly into the virgin forest. Although it was still a distance from the border, it would be safer and easier to escape the police's pursuit. Many drug eaters would use this method.
Xia Mingke and his team followed along the road, and one of the team members saw a car hidden in the bushes by the side of the road.
Xia Mingke got out of the car to check. There was a low-lying area on the right side of the road. The car had already driven into the low-lying area, and it was surrounded by weeds and trees.
The car was a Volkswagen, and the license plate number matched the suspect's car.
Xia Mingke gestured for his team members to be careful, then checked their equipment and carefully approached the car to search.
Looking through the front windshield, they didn't see anyone in the car. The driver's door was open, and no one was seen. The other three doors were also opened, and after a careful search, no one was found.
Ma Guodong said, "Captain Xia, Lu Zhen most likely abandoned the car and escaped."
Xia Mingke looked around the surrounding forest. "He can't run. Let the police dog unit drive the car here. Do you think he can outrun four legs? "
In order to catch Lu Zhen, Xia Mingke made full preparations. The police dog unit arrived soon.
Xia Mingke let the police dog smell the driver's seat and used it to track Lu Zhen.
For the police dog, this was not a difficult task. Soon, it found the trail of the smell and ran all the way west into the deep mountain Forest.
Although they were mentally prepared, the police officers of the Dali City Criminal Investigation Unit were a little uneasy, and some even wanted to retreat.
The deep mountain Forest looked beautiful, but there were too many hidden dangers. A little carelessness was likely to put their lives in danger. Moreover, they had been eating and sleeping in the open along the way, which was not something that could be described with just one word.
However, Xia Mingke didn't think so. In order to wash away the previous stain, he was full of energy, and with the police dog leading the way, he tracked the suspect.
After walking for about an hour, many of the team members were so tired that they were out of breath.
This primeval forest was full of uneven mountains, and it was much more tiring than walking on flat ground. Many of the team members had already shown signs of falling behind.
"Woof, woof, woof …"
At this moment, the police dog barked, and the dog trainer in front stopped. "Captain Xia, come over here. There's a situation here!"
