never forget [criminal investigation]

22: 45.

Xiang Hai slipped to Zhao Ting's side, stomped his feet on the spot, and said anxiously, "Brother Ting, that, I'm going out to use the bathroom."

Zhao Ting had already grown impatient for waiting, he was cold and tired, so he just gave him a cold sideways glance and said nothing.

Knowing that he agreed, Xiang Hai ran out of the warehouse gate.

The snow fell harder and harder, even rustling.

The surrounding visibility is poor, but two beams of bright car lights have turned out at the end of the line of sight.

Xiang Hai turned his head and ran, walked around to the back of the warehouse in one breath, and then leaned heavily against the wall.

It's quiet here, so his breathing is terribly loud.

Why did Yuan Guoping suddenly appear here?Xiang Hai took out his phone again and looked at the two text messages Xing Yue sent him.

He was indeed taken aback just now, but it was more because the news came too suddenly.As for whether it was because he was afraid of Yuan Guoping... Xiang Hai wiped off the snow that fell on the screen, and tapped Xing Yue's number.He didn't think he was afraid, at least not entirely, but it was not the time to reveal his identity face to face.At least he had to figure out exactly what goods Zhao Ting wanted to pick up, and why Yuan Guoping came.

The phone rang and was picked up.

"Brother?" Xiang Hai's voice was very soft, "Are you outside?"

"I'm here!" It was Xing Yue's voice.

That voice was obviously very excited, but he didn't dare to speak loudly. The magma-like emotion finally turned into heavy breathing, which was transmitted to Xiang Hai's ear along the current, "Xiao Hai..."

There was no movement on the other end of the phone, but soon there was another murmur, followed by Jiang Yuan's voice, "Xiang Hai, your mission has been completed, now find a way to withdraw immediately. If you don't have the conditions, find a place to hide , wait for us to go in."

Xiang Hai held the phone tightly, "Team Jiang, why did Yuan Guoping come?"

"I don't know, but I guess... Zhao Lang may want to silence these two people."

Faint shouts spread in the snow curtain, coming and going.

"Yuan Guoping should have arrived, and they seem to be arguing." Xiang Hai turned his head slightly following the direction of the voice, "Captain Jiang, I'm worried that they may cause trouble. I'll keep an eye on it for a while and wait for Zhao Lang to appear before leaving."

After he finished speaking, he hung up the phone.

Putting away the phone, Xiang Hai took a deep breath, clung to the base of the wall, and walked back along the footsteps when he came, until he could hear the voice clearly.Beside him was the fire escape ladder leading directly to the roof, he bowed his body and hid in a blind corner under the stairs.

22: 56.

The entrance of the warehouse has become a battlefield. You come and go on both sides, and you are fighting with each other, full of gunpowder.

Both Zhao Ting and Yuan Guoping were trying their best to expose each other's background, their words were not speculative, and the more they said it, the worse it sounded.

Yuan Guoping was alone, surrounded by these wolf cubs, he was much shorter in imposing manner, and had no one to help him, and with Zhao Ting's stinking mouth, every word was like a knife.He was so angry that his brain was boiling, his whole body was parkinsonian, and he wished he could grab a ball of dung to block Zhao Ting's dung spraying mouth.

This is not a reasonable place at all, and he didn't want to get entangled with this group of people. He turned around and planned to leave, but was stopped by Zhao Ting, "Stop! Are you going to leave? Didn't say clearly what you were here for, so Want to go?"

"I told you, I'm here to deliver the goods." Yuan Guoping desperately controlled his blood pressure.

Zhao Ting snorted coldly, "Then inspect the goods!"

"Whatever you want." Yuan Guoping turned his face away, not looking at him.

So Zhao Ting ordered people to get in the car.

The two boys opened the door of the truck, jumped up, and poked their heads out after flipping for a while, "Brother Ting, the buckets inside are all empty!"

"Empty?" Yuan Guoping and Zhao Ting almost spoke in unison.

"It's all empty!" The younger brother affirmed for the second time.

"Fuck, where's the goods?" Zhao Ting's people approached with the voice.

Cold sweat dripped down Yuan Guoping's face in an instant, "How do I know?"

He turned to look at the truck driver and another younger brother who came with him.The expressions of the two were indifferent, like outsiders who couldn't understand what he was talking about.

Yuan Guoping immediately realized that something was wrong.

"Yuan, where did you get the goods?" Zhao Ting pressed on step by step.

Yuan Guoping frowned tightly, his confused brain began to save himself quickly.

"I'm fucking asking you..."

He raised his hand to signal Zhao Ting to shut up, and stared at him, "I ask you, did Zhao Lang ask you to pick up the goods?"

"nonsense!"

"It's over." Yuan Guoping stomped his feet into the snow, approached Zhao Ting, and lowered his voice at the same time, "We are all fooled! Zhao Lang probably wants to kill us!"

"What do you mean?" Zhao Ting froze for a moment, and also frowned.

Yuan Guoping has no time to talk nonsense with this brainless thing.Now this place is very dangerous, not only Zhao Ting like a mad dog, but also Zhao Lang like a wolf, and even the police.

These characters pull a giant net of predation from each other, and no matter from whose point of view, they are the prey at the bottom of the food chain.

He turned around and left, but was immediately surrounded by Zhao Ting's younger brothers.

"Where are you going? Want to leave? If you don't tell me where the goods are, don't even think about leaving!" Zhao Ting raised his chin not far away.

"I don't have time to argue with you, so you should leave as soon as you are sensible! Zhao Ting, don't blame me for not reminding you, staying here is a dead end!"

Zhao Ting pushed his glasses and sneered inwardly, "Do you still need to talk about it?"

Of course he is not stupid.Just when Yuan Guoping said that Zhao Lang was going to kill people to silence him, he realized it, no, even when he found that the truck was empty, he almost understood it.

But he didn't want to leave, let alone let Yuan Guoping leave.

This is a unique opportunity to catch Zhao Lang and Yuan Guoping all at once.

He guessed that the police should be waiting for Zhao Lang to show up, maybe all of this is a trap set up by the police, and it is more likely that they are guarding outside now.

But Zhao Ting was not worried at all, because he was an undercover agent and had already negotiated terms with the police.

The police won't touch him, instead they still count on his cooperation to take Zhao Lang down.Those people probably don't know Yuan Guoping's true face yet, right?When this old bastard is tied up with Zhao Lang, he can gain another weight in the deal with the police.

Therefore, what he has to do now is to pretend to be confused, continue to be confused, hold Yuan Guoping down, and then find a way to urge Zhao Lang to come over quickly, while waiting for the police to arrive.

In fact, Zhao Lang was already on his way to the pharmaceutical factory at this time.

When Zhao Ting and Yuan Guoping were scolding passionately just now, the younger brother in charge of driving the truck reported to him that he was safe: there is no police, everything is normal, only those two people are fighting.

Everything was normal...Zhao Lang closed his eyes in the speeding car, and heard the sound of firecrackers from time to time.

He wasn't too surprised by this result, at least not as much as Zhao Ting's near-perfect transformation gave him.In the end, he still underestimated this younger brother.

But for a loser, the result was clearly not perfect.Maybe there was a misunderstanding, maybe everyone was innocent, but that doesn't matter right now.

I was sketching my brother's execution when the phone rang.

"Zhao Lang, are you fucking kidding me? Why did you bring the guy named Yuan here? Now that the goods are all gone, the guy named Yuan is still pretending to be stupid. What do you mean?"

Zhao Lang turned his head and looked at the snowflakes flying out of the window, "Don't worry, I'll go over and deal with it."

"The one surnamed Yuan is leaving now!"

"Look at him and don't let him go."

"Fuck, do you think I'm your little brother? You fucking come over here and do it yourself!" After speaking, the other end of the phone hung up.

23: 27.

"Report No. 1, Report No. 1, there are three black cars approaching the target gate, about 900 meters away."

Jiang Yuan's walkie-talkie suddenly came out with intensive calls.

He pressed the call button, "Attention all teams, the target has appeared!" At the same time, he signaled Zhou Xun to start the car.

The engine roared, shaking off the snow on the windows, and the car, which had been dormant all day and night, finally turned on its headlights in the snowy night.

Xing Yue took out his gun from the back seat and checked the magazine and safety again.

"No. 1 report, the target gate has been opened, and the first vehicle is passing."

"Received." Jiang Yuan picked up the walkie-talkie again, "Ready at position 3, listen to my order."

"Received on the 3nd."

The heavy retractable doors at the main entrance of the pharmaceutical factory have all been opened, and Zhao Lang's car slowed down slightly at the entrance, but did not stop.Two strong security guards ran out from the security room on the side, nodded and bowed towards Zhao Lang's car, and quickly let it go.

"No. 1 report, the first car has passed."

Zhao Lang's car passed through the gate and accelerated directly towards the depths of the pharmaceutical factory.

Car No. 2 following behind was stopped by security.

"No. 1 report, the second car is parked at the door, and the security guard is checking."

"receive."

The driver lowered the window, and the security guard poked his head and looked inside one by one.They were probably all acquaintances, so after a rough check, he retracted his head and raised his hand to say hello to the people in the car.

The people inside didn't know what they said to him. Both sides laughed, the windows were raised again, and car No. 2 passed smoothly.

At this time, the tail lights of Zhao Lang's car had disappeared into the snow curtain.

"No. 1 report, the third car has parked at the door."

"Received." Jiang Yuan said in a deep voice, "Ready for position 3!"

The security guard repeated the previous operation, looked at the people in the car one by one, and then raised his hand to let them go.

The brake lights of the third car went out, and the wheels creaked through the snow on the ground.

"Operation 3!"

As soon as Jiang Yuan's words fell, the entire pharmaceutical factory went dark, including the lights in the security room at the entrance.

The third car seemed to be unaffected by the situation and had already chased the rut ahead.

The two security guards at the door froze in place, but soon regained consciousness, one ran to the security room, and the other ran to pull the telescopic door back manually.

At this time, dense car lights gathered here from different directions, instantly illuminating the entrance of the pharmaceutical factory.The security guard was so shaken that he couldn't open his eyes, and was raising his hand to block it, when he heard a car braking abruptly beside him, and before he could see what was going on, he was pushed down hard on the ground.

"Don't move! Police!"

Half of his face was buried in the snow, but he still tried his best to widen his eyes, and watched several police cars coming out of nowhere, roaring through the gate, and the splashing snow foam quickly blurred his vision.

Jiang Yuan's car was in the lead, followed by two cars, and the rest quickly dispersed according to the established route, and went to the battlefield that had been rehearsed countless times.

Soon, battle reports came from the walkie-talkie.

"Report No. 1, the gate has been controlled."

"The two side doors have been secured."

"The monitoring room reports that everything is going well."

"All personnel in the workshop have been controlled."

"receive."

Jiang Yuan put away the walkie-talkie and locked his eyes on the warehouse not far away, where the decisive battle will take place.

Zhao Ting put down the phone and asked Yuan Guoping to be watched, while thinking about the next countermeasure.

Suddenly, without warning, the warehouse behind him went dark.

"What's going on?" Someone exclaimed in the darkness.

"power cut?"

"It seems that a car is coming!"

The entrance of the warehouse fell into chaos. Yuan Guoping saw the right moment, pushed his younger brother who was watching him somersault, and ran away.

He ran desperately along the road he came from, but he ran into two beams of headlights before running not far.

In all likelihood it was Zhao Lang!

He wiped his body and quickly turned around.His feet slipped and he nearly fell.He didn't bother to look at the road at all, and ran wherever it was dark or where there was no one.

There are still traces of a snow-covered path, along the dry green belt next to the warehouse, leading directly to the back of the warehouse.

He followed the path and plunged headfirst.

"Brother Ting, the one surnamed Yuan has run away!" The younger brother who was pushed down got up from the snow, feeling ashamed and scared, "I, I'm going to chase it!"

"Forget it!" Zhao Ting raised his hand, his eyes fixed on the lights of the approaching cars.

The person who came was either Zhao Lang or the police, no matter who it was, Yuan Guoping couldn't escape.

Soon, the car stopped in front of him, Zhao Lang opened the door and got out, "What's going on?"

"I still want to ask you!" Zhao Ting was faintly excited.

Zhao Lang's gaze swept over, passing through the swirling snow flakes, with a deadly chill.

He thought it was caused by Zhao Ting and Yuan Guoping's fight, but seeing Zhao Ting's expression at the moment, he immediately realized that something was wrong.Looking back again, in the distance, a few beams of light flashed in the heavy snow, like the searchlights on the hunter's head, following the track he just left behind.

"Oh shit!"

He gritted his teeth fiercely, cursed harshly, and rushed to the younger brother next to him, "There are policemen, take that guy."

The younger brothers drew their guns one after another.

At this time Zhao Ting also saw those police cars, and he was three parts happy and seven parts nervous, but he continued to pretend to be confused, "What's going on? What happened? Just now the surname Yuan ran away in the dark, is it his fault? "

Zhao Lang walked towards him step by step, touched the gun in the hand of the younger brother next to him, and the cold muzzle directly pressed against his chin, "Fuck me pretending? You still don't know what's going on?"

Zhao Ting's heart instantly rose to his throat, "Zhao Lang, what's wrong with you?" His voice was trembling, "What's the matter with me? Don't fuck me crazy!"

In just a few words, the lights in the distance have already arrived in the snow, and the wheels are spinning, showing no sign of slowing down.

"Go in!" Zhao Lang pointed his gun at Zhao Ting, pushed and dragged him back to the warehouse, and the younger brothers around him also rushed in.

"close the door!"

The two younger brothers who ran at the end quickly turned back, one on each side, desperately pushing the somewhat sluggish warehouse door.

At this time, the leading police car screeched to a stop, and before it could stop, Jiang Yuan jumped off first.

"Don't move!" he yelled.

Those two younger brothers were all excited, and immediately pushed harder.

Jiang Yuan saw that the gap between the two doors was narrowing, almost to the width of one person, and suddenly there was a "bang" shot from behind, followed by a second shot.

The two boys who pushed the door screamed twice in a row. They folded their arms and covered their hands, and fell to the ground.

Holding the gun, Xing Yue brushed past Jiang Yuan, and came to the door in two steps, his back pressed against him.

Almost at the same time, there were several consecutive gunshots inside the door, with a muffled and explosive echo, jingling on the iron sheet.

At this time, Jiang Yuan also caught up and gave Xing Yue a hand, "Don't worry, pay attention to concealment!"

He quickly observed the structure of the building, and recounted the people who got in just now in his mind.

There are three floors in the warehouse, the lower two floors have very high shelves, presumably for storing things, and the top floor is of normal height.Whether it is the freight elevator or the stairs, it must have been watched by Zhao Lang's people at this moment.

Xiang Hai said that Zhao Ting had brought five people with him, and Zhao Lang's three cars had at least a dozen of them.Even if the gun is not held by everyone, it is more powerful than the group of people outside the door.

He turned his head and rushed to Zhou Xun who was beside him and said, "Go get the tear gas bombs in the car."

He turned his head and shouted upstairs again, "Zhao Lang, you are already surrounded! Don't make unnecessary resistance, you won't be able to escape. Ask your men to put down their weapons..."

Before he finished speaking, another series of gunshots returned to him.

Xing Yue stuck behind the door, frowning at him, "What nonsense are you talking to them?"

Xiang Hai squatted in the corner under the fire stairs all the time, listening to the movement ahead with his ears up.

Suddenly the lights in the warehouse went out, and it was pitch black all around.Not only the warehouse, but even the street lights in the factory area were also turned off.

He immediately realized that it was Jiang Yuan who had already started to act, and his hope was instantly ignited, and he felt his whole body heat up.

He moved his feet that were numb from the cold, and then he was going to go back in the dark, so that he could join the action at any time.

But just standing up, I heard a rush of footsteps in the distance, "creaking" on the snow.

He squatted back quickly.

The sound of footsteps continued to amplify, mixed with violent panting, and a panicked figure was stumbling towards him.

The man ran very quickly, but his steps were heavy, and he had to look back from time to time.As a result, his exhausted body became unbalanced, he took a few steps forward, and fell into the snow with a "poof", letting out a muffled groan.

Xiang Hai curled up in the shadow of the stairs, with only a pair of eyes exposed.

His eyes stumbled along with the figure.Closer, closer.

Close enough to see the white mist of breath forming on the man's lens, and the face distorted by exhaustion and fear.

Xiang Hai's pupils continued to dilate, and he held his breath.

Yuan Guoping opened his mouth wide, panting like an old bellows.The icy air got in, swirled around, and began to burn in the chest cavity.

His throat was dry and sore, and he couldn't stand it any longer. He stopped, put his hands on his knees, and took a burst of oxygen.He took off his glasses, wiped them off, put them on again, and then continued to run deeper along the path like a pharmaceutical factory.

Xiang Hai didn't start breathing again until the sound of footsteps disappeared.

The brief hypoxia made his heart beat violently,

At this time, Zhao Ting shouted eagerly from the warehouse, "Zhao Lang, what's wrong with you? It's none of my business? Don't fuck me crazy!"

Zhao Lang finally came.

I believe that Jiang Yuan, Xing Yue, Zhou Xun and others are right behind.

Xiang Hai got out from the corner, took a deep breath, and chased after Yuan Guoping's footprints.
