When Tong Zian heard Zheng Xiaoliang say that he wanted to surrender, his eyes immediately showed a cold and fierce light.
However, this cold and fierce light was fleeting, and Tong Zian quickly returned to his calm and unhurried demeanor. He stood on tiptoes again and glanced at the lights and fires at the bottom of the mountain, and said: "Old Zheng, It is midnight now, and it is still early before dawn. What are you afraid of? This Longpan Mountain is so big, and it is at night. No matter how many people they have, they will always leave gaps and loopholes. As long as we can find someone in their encirclement. With this loophole, it is easy to escape. With so many people here, there must be a lot of cars parked at the foot of the mountain. When the time comes, we can grab a lone car without anyone noticing and take advantage of it. Escape quickly at night and rush to the southern Yunnan border, where you can contact the local smuggling gang and sneak into Myanmar.
"As long as we enter Myanmar, we will be safe, because I have a friend there who is from Huangyuan. His name is Bai Bangguo. He is a casino owner and a well-known local boss. It turns out that he was hanging out on the streets of Huangyuan County. , I protected him many times, and later he killed someone, and I helped him escape. Now, he is living well on the border between Myanmar and Dian Province, and I am on a mission to assassinate Liu Xian and Ye Ming. At that time, I considered the possibility of being exposed, and had already contacted Bai Bangguo in advance: as long as my operation failed, I would immediately flee to Lincang City in Yunnan Province. Bai Bangguo arranged for my younger brother to wait for me there and would take us to sneak across. go out.
"So, don't panic, and don't have any thoughts of surrendering. I still say the same thing: if you shrink your head, you will die, and if you stretch your head, you will die. Rather than being arrested and sentenced to death by them, and suffering the torture of waiting for death, it is better If we fight them to the death, we might still have a chance of survival."
Zheng Xiaoliang thought about it and felt that if he surrendered, it would be a death sentence anyway. Moreover, when he thought about the desperate and terrifying feeling of waiting for the execution time in the detention center, it would be better to be shot to death by them now.
Therefore, he swallowed hard, suppressed his fear, nodded and said: "Okay, I listen to Director Tong, I hope we can work together to break out of this encirclement."
Tong Zian watched him turn around and walk down, with a sneer on his face, followed him with his gun raised, and hurried to the foot of the mountain.
In fact, Tong Zian also had an advantage in escaping. He did not tell Zheng Xiaoliang: in the 1990s, Tong Zian served as a border guard in Lincang City, Yunnan Province for many years, where he joined the party and rose to the rank of official. He worked as a regular employee, and finally transferred back to Huangyuan County at the beginning of this century and joined the County Public Security Bureau. In a few years, he climbed to the position of Deputy Director of the County Bureau.
Therefore, Tong Zian had a certain degree of understanding of the border terrain of Dian Province and could also speak the dialect of Dian Province, which was extremely beneficial to his escape. However, out of some sinister idea, he did not This favorable condition tells Zheng Xiaoliang...
After running down the mountain for more than 20 minutes, Tong Zian and Zheng Xiaoliang began to vaguely hear the conversations and commands of the troops and militiamen searching the mountain below. It was estimated that they were following the first wave of troops searching the mountain. , the straight-line distance is only two hundred meters at most.
At this moment, under the bright moonlight, Tong Zian and Zheng Xiaoliang discovered that two roads appeared in front of them: one went straight down, and the other led to their right, and the voices of those searching the mountain came from here. It came from the bottom of a straight path. From this, it can be seen that this straight path is a main road, and the path to the right is probably a relatively secret shortcut made by people who herd sheep and cattle.
So, Tong Zian waved his hand to Zheng Xiaoliang, pointed to a thorn canopy not far from the roadside, and whispered: "Old Zheng, you go to that thorn canopy first and hide for a while. I'll go down the path on the right for fifty meters." Mi, take a look to see if there is anyone guarding this side. If the defense here is a little looser, I will come back immediately and ask you to go together. Don't worry, this mountain road is winding, and the people below have to go up while walking. Carefully search every possible hiding place on both sides of the road. Therefore, although we can hear their speech, it will take at least half an hour for them to find your current location. You can wait here with peace of mind. Come on, I'll be back in ten minutes at most."
Zheng Xiaoliang now pinned all his hopes of escape on Tong Zian, so he obeyed his advice. When he heard what he said, he had no doubts. He immediately climbed up a grass ridge and crawled into the thorn bush like a pheasant. in.
Tong Zian watched him get into the thorn bush, sneered, turned around, walked to the road on the right, and hurried down.
After running for a while, Tong Zian suddenly heard someone speaking in the dialect of Yunnan Province very close to him. So, he hid behind a big rock and looked around. He saw many policemen in uniform about fifty meters ahead. People in uniforms and armed police uniforms were carefully searching behind thatched roofs, ridges, and rocks, and even shining their flashlights on the trees on both sides of the road.
After observing for a while, Tong Zian realized that the trail was in the shape of an "S" at the moment. He could definitely insert himself through the thorn bushes and get behind the mountain search team, so he quietly stood up from behind the rock. Get up, get into the thorn bushes on the left side of the trail, then sneak around and quickly get behind the search team.
Then, he emerged from the thorn bushes and followed the group of people silently. Like them, he held a gun in his hand and pretended to look around. Because he was also wearing a police uniform, and the people searching the mountain were People were drawn from different places, so none of those who really searched the mountain suspected him. A policeman walking behind saw that he didn't bring a flashlight, and turned his head to remind him: "Comrade, be careful. This trail is full of potholes and it’s easy to trip someone up. You didn’t bring a flashlight, so be careful where you step and don’t fall.”
Tong Zian nodded and said in a very proficient Dian dialect: "Thank you, I will pay attention to it."
Because there were many people following behind, in order to prevent them from doubting himself, Tong Zian did not dare to go down the mountain alone, so he had to mix with the search team and gradually approached the place where Zheng Xiaoliang was hiding.
An armed police commander used a strong flashlight to shine on the ridge that Zheng Xiaoliang climbed up just now, and found fresh footprints on the ridge. His face changed, and he immediately fell down on the spot. He turned around and whispered to the people behind him: " Everyone, put out your flashlights and lie down quickly, the gangster may be lurking somewhere on this ridge."
As soon as these words came out, the two dozen policemen and armed policemen who were searching the mountain, including Tong Zian, immediately fell down on the spot and extinguished the flashlights in their hands to avoid being targeted by gangsters.
