Chapter 28 Dragnet

There is a police station on Shushi Road in Huancheng. The director is named Matthew. In one month, he will retire.

His only hobby is playing the erhu in the vegetable patch in front of his home.

The vegetable patch in front of the door is evergreen all year round. Leeks are planted in spring, cucumbers are planted in summer, spinach is planted in autumn, and Chinese cabbage is planted in winter.

On October 31, 2001, at 7:58 in the morning, this man who had just finished playing the erhu in the cabbage field, this policeman who was about to retire in a month, rode his bicycle to work. He had just walked to the workplace and the duty room.

Three colleagues there stopped him and said someone had given him a big cake.

Director Ma felt confused: "Today is not my birthday. Who gave it to me?"

A colleague said: "He is a young man wearing a peaked cap."

Director Ma asked: "Did he say his name?"

The colleague replied: "Fly high."

Director Ma touched his scalp: "I don't know him."

Director Ma opened the box, and there was a loud "boom" - the cake exploded. Thick smoke rose into the sky along with the fire, bricks and stones flew randomly, and the powerful shock wave shattered the glass of nearby houses. After the dust settled, the police station

The duty room was reduced to rubble. Director Ma and two policemen died on the spot, and another was seriously injured.

At 1:30 noon, the major case headquarters held a case analysis meeting. Bai Jingyu personally presided over it. Zhou Xingxing, Hua Long, and Han Bingyu all made speeches. A female operator knocked on the door and walked into the conference room.

Bai Jingyu told her that they were in a meeting, and we would talk about anything later.

Female operator: "There's a strange call coming from someone. You'd better answer it."

Bai Jingyu: "Why is it strange?"

Female operator: "Aren't we offering a reward for Gao Fei?"

Bai Jingyu said: "Yes."

Female operator: "That person said he is Goofy!"

Bai Jingyu rushed out of the conference room as quickly as possible, picked up the phone, Zhou Xingxing, Hualong, and Han Bingyu followed, standing nearby and listening.

Bai Jingyu: "Hey, please tell me, I am Bai Jingyu, the commander-in-chief of major cases."

Gao Fei: "I am Gao Fei, bang, you all heard it, the sound of setting off firecrackers."

Bai Jingyu: "Asshole, you are too arrogant!"

Gao Fei: "How about we negotiate a deal?"

Bai Jingyu: "What deal?"

Gao Fei: "I placed another bomb in another place. There are at least hundreds of children in that place."

Bai Jingyu: "What exactly do you want to do?"

Gao Fei: "I want to exchange these one hundred children for two people."

Bai Jingyu: "Who?"

Gao Fei: "Sanwen Qian and Ma Youzhai, let them go."

Bai Jingyu: "They have been sentenced to death!"

Gao Fei: "Then only three pennies per person."

Bai Jingyu: "We will not bargain with you, let alone be threatened by you."

Gao Fei: "Well, you better think about it. You know, you only have thirty minutes. If you don't agree, the one hundred lively children will explode all over the sky. Think about it, you are really honored, one hundred children

It’s still a good deal to exchange one’s life for another person’s life…”

Bai Jingyu stopped talking and looked at Zhou Xingxing and the others. Zhou Xingxing took the phone and said firmly:

"We will escort Sanwen Qian and Ma Youzhai to the execution ground immediately for execution!"

There was silence on the other side of the phone, and then the call was hung up.

The atmosphere in the major case headquarters was solemn. Bai Jingyu walked around the room, thinking about something, and everyone looked at him. Finally, he picked up the walkie-talkie and issued an order:

"All police officers should immediately put down their work and be on standby. Police officers who are on vacation will be recalled immediately. I emphasize again that all police officers should be on standby, whether they are armed police, criminal police, traffic police, fire police, film police, forensics, etc.

The pre-trial personnel and the household registration management personnel all put down their work and gave in to the big case. This is not just a crime, this is a war."

Bai Jingyu: "The bomb disposal team is preparing immediately and will gather within five minutes."

Hua Long: "But we need to know where the bomb is?"

Bai Jingyu: "Where are there hundreds of children?"

Zhou Xingxing: "School, kindergarten, children's playground."

Bai Jingyu: "Contact the education department immediately and provide a list of all schools and kindergartens in the city. All police officers will be dispatched to assist them in evacuating all students within thirty minutes and let the children go home for the holidays."

Han Bingyu: "We still have to investigate where that call came from."

Twenty minutes later, the police investigated and discovered that Gao Fei made the call from a canteen. The canteen is located in the urban-rural fringe area with a complex staff and high turnover. According to the canteen owner, the caller was a young man wearing a hat.

He left a note saying that someone would come to see him shortly.

Bai Jingyu picked up the note and found a line written on it: You are late!

At 2 o'clock in the afternoon, the bomb exploded. Although all police forces were deployed to evacuate the students, the police forgot about an orphanage. That orphanage was established with donations from the people of the city, and most of them were children of incarcerated people and street children.

All teachers are college students who volunteer to teach. Please remember the name of a teacher here: Qin Buhui. Teacher Qin received a notice from the education department and immediately asked all students to leave the classroom. Because those students were homeless, they gathered in the building

They were playing games on the grass, hoping that this was just a false alarm. There was a tin trash can next to the grass. The more Teacher Qin looked at it, the more suspicious she became. She found a bomb in the trash can. The respectable teacher rushed into the open space with the bomb in his arms.

The bomb exploded in the playground... Teacher Qin died on the spot. Except for two children who were slightly injured, the 113 orphans were all safe.

At 2:15 p.m., the phone of the major case headquarters rang again.

Gao Fei: "I'm very disappointed. I placed another bomb in another part of the city."

Bai Jingyu: "Don't even think about asking us to release Sanwen Qian and Ma Youzhai."

Gao Fei: "I've changed my mind now."

Bai Jingyu: "Do you want money?"

Gao Fei: "Let Zhou Xingxing answer the phone."

Zhou Xingxing took the phone and said: "Listen, I swear now, I swear to my dead mother, I will catch you with my own hands."

Gao Fei: "Hua Long and Han Bing Yu are here too. You and your two guys, the three of you, come and catch me."

Zhou Xingxing: "Okay, where did you say you are?"

Gao Fei: "Come on, under the rockery in People's Park."

Zhou Xingxing: "If I can't catch you, I will never be a police officer again!"

Gao Fei: "Remember, the three of you are stripped naked and can only wear a pair of underwear. You can't take a car and can only run here. And it can only be the three of you. If I find a fourth policeman under the rockery, I will

Just detonate the bomb. If I can’t see you three at 2:30, I will detonate the bomb.”

Zhou Xingxing: "Say it again, I didn't hear you clearly."

The phone hung up and made a beeping sound.

Zhou Xingxing, Hua Long and Han Bingyu looked at each other and began to take off their clothes. A female police officer asked Bai Jingyu why they had to go naked?

Zhou Xingxing took the words and replied: "To prevent us from bringing weapons."

Hualong also joked: "Unless we can hide the gun in our butthole."

Han Bingyu added: "Also, it will be easy to recognize us this way."

The three of them quickly took off their clothes, and Bai Jingyu looked solemn.

Hua Long said to Bai Jingyu: "Boss, do you have any instructions?"

Bai Jingyu said: "I have only one request. The three of you must come back to see me alive. No one less can do it."

Zhou Xingxing said: "It's a bit cold."

Han Bingyu said: "You will feel warm when you run."

Bai Jingyu began to deploy. He ordered all police officers to wear civilian clothes and strictly controlled the area around the People's Park. He arranged more than 80 police officers on the periphery and 20 police officers inside the park. He asked all plainclothes police officers to pay close attention to all suspicious persons.

.

Zhou Xingxing, Hua Long, and Han Bingyu ran out of the police station and ran through the bustling commercial intersection, which immediately caused a commotion. Three naked men ran naked together. What a strange sight it was. The pedestrians on the street opened their eyes in shock.

Mouthing and pointing, the three of them ran past a child. The child was so frightened that he cried loudly. The frightened mother tightened the child's hand and said to her husband: "It must have escaped over the fence." The husband nodded and said: "

I know, this is nothing, they will pee in the street or defecate in their pants. I think I should call your second uncle and ask them if anyone has escaped from the mental hospital."

Hua Long: "Actually, I've wanted to do this for a long time, running on the street without clothes."

Zhou Xingxing: "We just treat it as running a marathon."

Han Bingyu: "Marathon? Have you seen the looks in other people's eyes? Others look at us like we are three lunatics."

Ten minutes later, the three of them stood under the rockery in the park, exhausted and out of breath. The park is open to the public for free and there are many tourists. There is a small rockery on the open ground. There is a fountain made of a tap on the rockery, and water flows down.
