Guo Zhan and Tian Feilong were also looking at the cafeteria thoughtfully. After hearing Xia Ruofei's words, Guo Zhan also had a flash of inspiration and shouted, "There's a clue!"
Only Tian Feilong was still frowning slightly. Obviously, he still had no clue.
He couldn't help but ask, "Captain, Monitor Xia, what's the clue?"
Guo Zhan looked at Xia Ruofei with a smile and said, "Blood Wolf, you tell us!"
Xia Ruofei gently stroked Blackie's smooth fur and asked with a smile, "Feilong, think about it. That group of people is a big target. When they left, they took Professor Liang and maybe other experimenters with them. How did they avoid the surveillance?"
Tian Feilong looked at the cafeteria next to them and analyzed, "These people don't know how to make themselves invisible. If we rule out the possibility of directly escaping the campus through the sewers, then they must have prepared a vehicle in advance. And it's very likely to be a closed van … "
Xia Ruofei snapped his fingers and said, "Correct! This is the school cafeteria. A lot of food must be consumed every day, so … "
"A van for transporting food!" Tian Feilong immediately said loudly.
Xia Ruofei smiled and nodded.
At this time, Guo Zhan's confidential mobile phone vibrated. He picked it up and said a few words. After hanging up the phone, he said with a smile, "Those little bastards are here. Let's meet them first and then go to the school security office to check the surveillance!"
Just now, they had been in the sewers for a long time. In fact, returning to the laboratory building from the ground was not very far. It was only a distance of four or five hundred meters, so the three of them soon returned to Professor Liang Qiming's laboratory building.
The members of the two teams were all present. In addition to the old Captain Luo, who had died, Jin Gang, who was seriously injured and hospitalized, and a member who stayed in the general hospital to take care of him, there were nine other members.
Those who could be taken out by Guo Zhan to carry out such an important task were all experienced veterans. Naturally, they were also very familiar with Xia Ruofei.
When they met, they hugged and greeted each other excitedly.
However, Xia Ruofei and Guo Zhan were in a hurry to check the surveillance footage, so they didn't waste too much time. They didn't even have time to wash off the stains on their bodies. They were led by a police officer to the school's security office with an unpleasant odor.
Officer Li explained the situation to the security chief, and the chief naturally cooperated unconditionally. He personally led everyone to the surveillance room and ordered the staff to retrieve the surveillance records according to Guo Zhan's request.
Yesterday's battle took place at around five o 'clock in the afternoon. Guo Zhan directly requested to see the surveillance footage of the second canteen at that time.
Just as Xia Ruofei had expected, the location where the smell had disappeared was the blind spot of the second cafeteria's surveillance cameras. None of the cameras had captured that location.
After a while, a white minivan appeared in the surveillance cameras. This car had just driven out from the empty space on the side. If the car wanted to leave the cafeteria and drive out of the campus, it would be impossible to avoid all the surveillance cameras.
"Stop!" Xia Ruofei shouted.
The staff immediately pressed the button, and the footage froze.
Xia Ruofei pointed to the minivan on the surveillance screen and asked, "Director Luo, do you recognize this car?"
Director Luo of the university's security office smiled bitterly and said, "There are so many cars coming in and out of the campus every day. We can't possibly recognize all of them. However, those that can enter the campus must have a pass. This car is most likely delivering food to the cafeteria. Do you want me to call Xu from the logistics department to identify it?"
"Then I'll have to trouble you!" Xia Ruofei said politely.
Soon, Director Xu from the logistics department, who worked in the same building, also came to the surveillance room. He glanced at the logo on the minivan and immediately said, "This is a delivery truck from the Oasis Agricultural Products Company! The ingredients for the five cafeterias in our school are all outsourced to the Oasis Company. They come several times a day to deliver food! "
Xia Ruofei and Guo Zhan looked at each other, and then Xia Ruofei said, "Can you zoom in a little? Can you identify the license plate number? "
"No problem! We have several high-definition cameras on the main road of the school, "the staff said." If this car wants to leave the campus, it must have passed through the main road. "
After saying that, he skillfully operated the computer and brought up the history of another surveillance camera.
Sure enough, after a while, the minivan appeared on the screen. Not only was the license plate number clearly visible, but the occupants in the car were also clearly visible.
Xia Ruofei quickly wrote down the license plate number and asked Officer Li to coordinate the police force to investigate the situation of the car. Then he said to the staff, "Please take a few screenshots of the footage where we can clearly see the occupants in the car. Thank you!"
After the staff took the screenshots, everyone looked at the surveillance footage for a while. The minivan started about 20 minutes after the gunfight, and then drove directly out of the campus.
Then Xia Ruofei asked the staff to look back at the surveillance footage of the cafeteria entrance. They found that the car had arrived at the second cafeteria a little after four o 'clock, then parked directly on the side of the cafeteria and left at five o' clock.
The timing was just right!
After looking at the surveillance footage, Director Luo of the security department brought Xia Ruofei and the others to the reception room next door. They sat together, drinking tea and chatting, waiting for the results of the police investigation.
About 20 minutes later, Officer Li also came to the reception room. As soon as he entered the room, he said, "We found out that the truck with the license plate number was sent for repair yesterday. It didn't leave at all! Moreover, every car of their company is installed with a GPS. We checked the driving track of the car yesterday, and it did indeed go from the company to the repair shop. It didn't come to Sanshan University at all. "
"Fake license plate!" Xia Ruofei and Guo Zhan said in unison.
At this time, Director Xu of the logistics department also walked into the reception room and said, "Officer Li, I just checked the records of the second cafeteria. There were no ingredients in the warehouse yesterday afternoon. Yesterday, the car only parked on the side of the second cafeteria. It didn't deliver food!"
In this way, the suspicion of the car that appeared in the surveillance footage was very high. Basically, it was confirmed that the group of people used the fake license plate van to secretly kidnap Professor Liang and take him out of the campus.
Guo Zhan stood up and shook hands with Director Luo and Director Xu. He said, "Thank you very much for your support!"
The two directors also knew that the person in front of them had a strong background, so they quickly said a few words of courtesy.
Guo Zhan then turned to Officer Li and said, "Officer Li, please coordinate with the higher-ups. We need to go to the City Public Security Bureau Command Center immediately and use the Skynet system to find the driving track of this van!"
Officer Li was temporarily in charge of the shooting scene, so he naturally knew how serious yesterday's incident was. It was no exaggeration to say that it had risen to the level of national security.
So, after hearing this, he said without hesitation, "No problem! Let's go now. I'll ask the higher-ups on the way! "
…
Half an hour later, the group of people arrived at the City Public Security Bureau Command Center.
Guo Zhan only brought Xia Ruofei and Tian Feilong in, while the rest of the team members were waiting in the car.
The City Public Security Bureau Command Center was a hall thousands of square meters in size. There was a huge LCD screen on the front wall, which showed real-time surveillance footage of all the hot spots in the city.
Officer Li had already reported the relevant situation on the way, so when Xia Ruofei and the others arrived at the command center, Deputy Director Lu of the Public Security Bureau, who was in charge of criminal investigation, personally received them.
This was also because Director Chen Bo didn't know that Xia Ruofei was in the military this time. Otherwise, he would have come out personally to receive them.
Deputy Director Lu shook hands with Guo Zhan and said, "Colonel Guo, we have already checked the surveillance footage near the north gate of Sanshan University at five o 'clock yesterday. We also found the van."
The designation of the Lone Wolf Commando Team was top secret, so the military didn't announce Guo Zhan's position, only his rank as colonel.
Guo Zhan immediately said, "Director Lu, can you analyze the driving track of this van?"
"Our technicians are analyzing it. It shouldn't be a big problem," Deputy Director Lu said. "This way please!"
Sanshan City was the capital city of the developed province in the eastern part of Huaxia, and its infrastructure was at the forefront of the country. The Skynet project in Sanshan City started early, and its hardware and software were clearly ahead of some of the less developed cities.
Now, Sanshan City Public Security Bureau's Skynet system could use the license plate number recognition function to add time and other algorithms to the images sent back by the numerous cameras in the city, automatically calculating the approximate driving track of a particular vehicle.
In addition, due to the increasing number of high-definition cameras, the facial recognition function was also constantly improving.
The Skynet system played an increasingly important role in solving cases for the public security bureau.
Everyone came in front of the big screen, and Deputy Director Lu gestured to the technicians who were operating the computer.
A large area in the center of the big screen immediately showed a surveillance footage, which was taken by a security camera at the north gate of Sanshan University.
The white van was slowly driving out of the north gate, and after exiting the gate, it turned right onto Yangfan Road.
When the van disappeared from the surveillance camera's range, the image immediately changed to the range of another camera, and the van quickly appeared in the range of this camera.
On the right side of the big screen was a map, and on the map, a red line extended from the north gate of Sanshan University — this was the driving track of the white van.
Of course, this was only the most likely path analyzed by the Skynet system. After all, the surveillance cameras couldn't cover the entire area, and the van would always drive into a blind spot, and then it would take a while for it to appear in another surveillance area. During this period of time in the blind spot, the car's driving track could only be analyzed and simulated by factors such as the time difference, the speed, and the next location.
This red line, which represented the van's driving track, went all the way north.
Tian Feilong frowned slightly and said, "Did they really hide in the mountains?"
Xia Ruofei calmly said, "That's not likely. After the incident, our response was still very fast. Plus, there was a lot of traffic in the city at that time, and by this time, the exit of the city should have been controlled. The possibility of them bringing Professor Liang to pass through the checkpoint is very low."
Guo Zhan also nodded and said, "I agree with Ruofei's opinion."
Sure enough, after a while, the red line extended to the north of Sanshan City, near Xinyuan Road, and stopped.
The policeman in charge of the technology said, "The target disappeared here, and then didn't appear in the range of any surveillance cameras in the city."
Deputy Bureau Chief Lu immediately said, "Immediately designate an area and send people to investigate!"
"Yes, sir!" the policeman in charge of the technology said.
The surveillance cameras in the urban-rural area weren't as densely distributed as in the city, and there were some blind spots. Soon, the system marked out a few areas based on the van's last appearance.
The van could only be parked in those areas, otherwise it would definitely be photographed by other surveillance cameras.
A large number of police officers were quickly dispatched.
Tian Feilong asked, "Squad Leader Xia, should we bring Xiao Hei and follow the police?"
Xia Ruofei said, "I feel that even if we find the van, the possibility of getting further clues is not high, but we still have to go."
After that, Xia Ruofei looked at Guo Zhan.
Guo Zhan thought for a moment and nodded slightly.
Soon, Xia Ruofei and Tian Feilong took Xiao Hei and boarded a police car together, and went to the designated areas to investigate.
Guo Zhan was in the command center of the Public Security Bureau.
With the assistance of the Skynet system, the scope of the investigation wasn't large, and finding the van didn't have any suspense.
Sure enough, before Xia Ruofei's car arrived at the destination, another team's message came through the walkie-talkie – they had found the van.
So Xia Ruofei's team immediately changed their route and drove directly to the location of the van.
This was an abandoned mechanical processing plant in the northern suburbs of the city, and the white van was parked in the overgrown yard of the plant.
This area was a blind spot for surveillance cameras.
As soon as Xia Ruofei got out of the car, he immediately ran to the van with Xiao Hei. The police had already received orders to fully cooperate, so they didn't stop Xia Ruofei and Xiao Hei.
Opening the trunk, Xia Ruofei patted Xiao Hei's head, and Xiao Hei jumped up like lightning.
He sniffed around the interior of the trunk, and Xia Ruofei asked, "Xiao Hei, is there the smell you just smelled in the van?"
Xiao Hei immediately barked twice, and then very humanely nodded.
Although the group of people used the van to sneak into the campus, and then kidnapped Professor Liang, Xia Ruofei was still a bit excited after getting a positive answer from Xiao Hei.
Now he could be 100% sure!
Xia Ruofei quickly waved at Xiao Hei and told him to get out of the car.
"Xiao Hei, sniff around and see if you can find the smell just now," Xia Ruofei said.
Xiao Hei immediately sniffed around the van, and after a while, he shook his head at Xia Ruofei in dismay.
The police also felt that Xiao Hei's human-like behavior was very new, but their attention was more focused on finding clues.
Seeing that Xiao Hei didn't find any clues, Officer Wang couldn't help but ask, "Do you need us to call in the police dogs?"
Tian Feilong smiled and said, "Xiao Hei is much better than the police dogs. Yesterday, the special police team's police dogs didn't find any clues, but today, Xiao Hei dug up this clue! So it's useless to call in the police dogs. "
"Then why is there no smell left?" Officer Wang didn't understand and said, "There is still a residual smell in the van!"
Xia Ruofei and Tian Feilong looked at each other and said in unison, "They changed the van!"
Xia Ruofei said, "Let's go! Let's go back to the command center! "
Xia Ruofei thought for a while and said, "Officer Wang, please leave a few comrades to check this van and see if there are any clues left behind! Feilong, immediately use a confidential phone to contact Wolf King, and let the comrades in the command center use the Skynet system to do a deep analysis. Divide the blind spots along the way according to time, and see which blind spots would allow them to easily change the van! "
"Understood!" Officer Wang and Tian Feilong said at the same time.
