Li Rui sighed bitterly, "It's better if you don't lend it to me. I'm afraid I can't bear the responsibility." Ji Fei smiled and shook his head, "Brother, just use it. If anything goes wrong, I, Ji Fei, will take responsibility for you."
His words were powerful and resonant. Li Rui was very touched. He thought to himself, This Old Ji is a good friend!
Next, the three of them discussed the upcoming operation in detail. They confirmed the number of people who would infiltrate, the method of support, and all possible countermeasures.
After this small meeting, Shen Yuanzhu went out again to buy miner's uniforms. She bought ten sets at once for the police officers who would infiltrate the coal mine with Li Rui.
After dark, Li Rui and the others prepared to take action. Li Rui called Song Chaoyang to report the latest change.
When Song Chaoyang heard that Li Rui had found traces of the missing reporters, he was full of praise for him. When he heard that he was willing to infiltrate the coal mine to investigate, he complained endlessly. When he heard that Ji Fei had lent him a gun, he was shocked, "It's fine if you're messing around, but why is Ji Fei also messing around with you? How old is he? Why is he so careless? Is a gun something that can be borrowed casually? Is it something that can be played around with? Is he trying to help you or harm you? " Li Rui smiled, "Boss, don't worry. I will hide that gun in the headquarters. I don't dare to carry it with me. It won't be good if it misfires or loses it." Song Chaoyang said, "Don't. You should carry it with you. After all, it can protect you at critical moments. Humph, if Ji Fei can take responsibility for any problems you cause, then I, Song Chaoyang, can't take responsibility for you? Go ahead. As long as you can save those two reporters, it's fine even if there are casualties. "
When Li Rui heard what his boss said, he was shocked. According to what he had seen, his boss was always a gentle and steady person. He was also a good leader who cherished his subordinates and loved his people like his own children. He had never seen him cold-blooded and ruthless. Who knew that at critical moments, he would treat human lives like dirt and become cold-blooded and ruthless? This change was a bit too big. On second thought, what his boss said was actually right. Since it was basically confirmed that Zhuang Haixia and Li Rui were caught by the coal mine, then they could be included in the list of "bad guys". Why should they be polite to bad guys? In addition, Zhuang Haixia's grandfather, who was at the provincial level, gave her a lot of pressure, so it was understandable for the boss to say this.
Song Chaoyang quickly felt that what he said did not sound like what a Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee should say. He added, "Of course … if you can avoid harming human lives, you should try to avoid it. The main thing is to ensure your own safety." Li Rui said, "Boss, don't worry. I won't take out my gun unless I have no other choice." Song Chaoyang laughed and said, "Okay, then I'll wait for your good news in Qingyang."
After hanging up, Li Rui set his phone to silent mode and stuffed it into his pocket. He then carefully checked his equipment. He wore a bulletproof vest for police use under his miner's uniform. The pistol was inserted into the pouch on the lower left side of the vest. If he encountered a dangerous situation, he would be able to pull out the pistol as soon as he reached into the vest. There was a small square pocket on the right side of the pouch. There was a pair of handcuffs inside that could be used to arrest people at critical moments.
Of course, he was not a police officer and did not have the power to enforce the law. Once he used handcuffs to arrest people, it would be illegal. But at this critical moment, no one cared about this. Ji Fei had even given him his gun and allowed him to use it as he pleased, let alone handcuffs. Of course, rather than saying that Ji Fei was indulging him, it was more accurate to say that Ji Fei trusted him.
Naturally, Ji Fei did not dare to casually give his gun to an outsider. Wasn't it because he was the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee's Secretary, Song Chaoyang? First, since he was chosen by Song Chaoyang to be his secretary, he was definitely a calm and cautious person. Even if he had a gun, he would not act recklessly. Second, giving him the gun was mainly for self-defense. Although the two people in Zhuang Haixia were important, his position as the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee's Secretary was equally important. Compared to the provincial level grandfather of Zhuang Haixia, who was far away in Beijing, his boss was obviously more important. Giving him the gun was also to curry favor with Song Chaoyang. Third, it was also to establish a good relationship with him.
In addition, there was a small walkie-talkie behind Li Rui's butt. He could use it to contact his teammates at any time. There was also a pocket-sized police flashlight in his trouser pocket. It could be used to illuminate in the dark. There was a steel ratchet on the flashlight. It could be used to fight with criminals and easily smash windows and doors.
In addition to Li Rui, there were seven other outstanding police officers participating in the night investigation. They were all dressed up like Li Rui, as miners. Before leaving, Ji Fei specially asked someone to call over an old retired miner. He told the eight of them about the common knowledge of the coal mine, such as the time of three shifts and the usual greetings. Li Rui and the others memorized it in their hearts. They did not dare to be careless in the slightest.
The operation was about to begin. The eight team members were divided into three groups. They strolled out of the village committee in twos and threes. They passed through different streets and walked towards the dog hole outside the wall on the northeast side of the coal mine.
Li Rui walked together with a young criminal police officer named Su Yangyang. After walking for a while on the bustling street, he caught a glimpse of a tobacco and alcohol store. He thought of something and decided to go in and buy a pack of cigarettes. He asked Su Yangyang to wait at the entrance while he went in to buy cigarettes.
What he thought of was that miners were all heavy laborers, and they usually did not have any recreational activities. Apart from the prohibition of smoking when they worked in the mine tunnels, when they were outside the mine, they could smoke when they were tired. For them, it was a pleasure as good as the gods. Who could refuse this kind of enjoyment? After sneaking into the coal mine, wouldn't he be more like a miner if he had a cigarette in his mouth? In addition, when he greeted people, passing them a cigarette could quickly shorten the distance between them. There were so many benefits. Why not buy it?
According to the income of a miner, he bought a pack of cigarettes that cost five yuan. It would be unreasonable if he did not have a lighter. He also spent one yuan to buy a lighter.
After he came out, Su Yangyang was puzzled and asked, "Director Li, I saw that you did not smoke in the past two days. Why did you suddenly want to buy cigarettes?" Li Rui told him his thoughts. After Su Yangyang heard his thoughts, he looked at him with admiration and said, "Director Li, if you don't come to our criminal police team, it will be our team's loss." Li Rui laughed. Su Yangyang quickly felt that his words were inappropriate. Li Rui was the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee and the director of the General Office of the Municipal Party Committee. Why should he come to the criminal police team? He laughed and said, "Of course, it will be your loss if you come to the criminal police team. Hehe." Li Rui hurriedly said, "Don't say that. When I was young, my biggest dream was to be a mighty police officer …"
The two of them chatted and laughed as they walked towards their destination.
In fact, Li Rui's idea and action to buy cigarettes seemed to be a stroke of genius on the surface, but in reality, it was a smart-aleck. That was because, at present, most coal mines in the country had implemented the coal mine safety management regulations to stop smoking. They were afraid of causing all kinds of fire accidents. The Heiyaogou Coal Mine had been promoting smoking cessation for a few years. However, the mine management was not strict, so there were still many people smoking in the open air. Li Rui was smart enough not to be harmed by his own cleverness.
The two of them walked quickly, through the streets and alleys, and came to the east wall of the coal mine. Here, the two of them did not dare to laugh. They both closed their mouths and walked towards the dog hole in the north.
After walking for about ten minutes, they arrived at the ridge where the dog hole was located. The other two teams had also arrived. After the two of them arrived, the small team for this night's reconnaissance operation had been assembled.
Ji Fei and the others were not idle in the headquarters. They were deploying targeted response operations, rescue operations, and possible arrest operations. Everything was waiting for the news from Li Rui.
Other than Li Rui, there were seven other criminal police officers. The leader was the deputy captain of the Municipal Criminal Police Detachment, Wu Tailiang. He whispered to Li Rui, "Director Li, let us go in first to explore. You can go in after everything is safe." Li Rui whispered, "You guys are not familiar with the situation inside. I'll go in first. I'll crawl in and see if there's anyone nearby. If there's no one, I'll shine my flashlight into the hole and you guys can crawl in one by one. " Wu Tailiang thought to himself, This person is too arrogant. Isn't he just relying on his status as the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee? But why doesn't he think about it? This is not as simple as a normal meeting. This could be risking his life. Alas, this person's brain is too simple. He doesn't care about anything else just to get credit. Hmph, let him be arrogant for now. There will be a time when he will be badly injured. At that time, we'll see what he will say. Wu Tailiang did not argue anymore and said, "Okay, we'll wait for your signal."
Li Rui copied what he did during the day. He first lay on the ground, then crawled his head and shoulders into the hole. Little by little, he crawled into the wall. But just as he was about to crawl his head out of the hole, he heard panting sounds coming from above. He was scared out of his wits. What's going on? Why was there no one guarding the hole during the day, but someone was guarding it at night? Could it be that he was accidentally discovered when he was stepping on the path during the day? But after listening to the sound for a while, he felt that something was wrong. It didn't sound like it was made by a human. He gathered his courage and looked up. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry. A small Shiba dog was squatting at the hole. It looked at him with interest as he crawled out of the hole. Its tongue was hanging out, and it was panting. Wu Tailiang then realized that it might be because he had occupied the dog's daily passageway. It couldn't get out, so it was looking at him.
Li Rui saw that the dog didn't seem to have any evil intentions towards him. He looked around and saw that there was no one within a dozen square meters. He said to the dog, "Get up, get up. You can come in when I'm out."
