The van, which almost fell apart, drove into an abandoned factory in the sunlight.

The factory is full of signs of decay and decay, moss and mold have covered the red bricks with a thick layer of mud, and there are large pools of eutrophicated sludge on the ground, which used to be a water plant, but it has been demolished and there are some remnants of the factory.

In one of the rooms, where the roof was still intact, the so-called intact was actually a hole, but it was better than those brick houses with the roof lifted, a man was curled up, lying on the ground, his eyes were covered with a cloth, his hands were tied in knots with hemp rope, and there was a strong smell of feces and urine in the room.

The door was open, and a man named "Huazi" was sitting outside, tearing some snacks, bread, jerky, etc., from his pocket on the ground, chewing and eating, when he saw Liu Zhiqiang's group of people driving into this hidden dormitory area from the front.

The car stopped in front of them, and the bandit leader Liu Zhiguo, who was wearing a jacket and gave Cheng Ran a slap at the beginning, opened the van door, walked out, and came to Xie Houming's side.

Xie Houming struggled to stick his head out, trying to identify what might happen to him next through his ears.

Liu Zhiguo picked up a brick and tile that fell from the roof on the ground, and threw it down according to Xie Houming's head, the red tile shattered and exploded, Liu Zhiguo's foot then kicked up, jumping in his ribs, chest and abdomen, and Xie Houming on the ground came with a weak snort...... In the two days since he was kidnapped, he was only symbolically poured a few mouthfuls of water, and then he was beaten to achieve his goal, and now he was tortured so badly that Xie Houming almost fainted after these few feet.

"There are police everywhere, police everywhere! Did you call the police, did your mother-in-law call the police?...... I don't think you really want to live!"

Liu Zhiguo pulled out his pistol, clicked on it, and pressed it against Xie Houming's head, "Call your mother-in-law immediately, call her mobile phone, let her avoid the police, if you want your life, let your relatives, avoid the police, and put money into another account!"

"Plus what I made up before, if I hit one million, I'll let you go......"

Xie Houming on the ground continued to tremble, and he had been tormented by pain and fear.

After the threat, several people pulled the cage out of the van, and when they heard the commotion, Xie Houming's body shrunk. He was blindfolded and could not see his surroundings, but a very ominous sense of foreboding and terror enveloped him.

Liu Zhiguo, nicknamed "Lao Niu", of course, could not shoot, there are still some local farmers near this Black Dragon Pond, and the gunfire may be extraneous, and now the police are patrolling the national highway in Shanhai City, blocking the main road out of the city, and there is no search for these local mountains, but be careful to sail the boat for ten thousand years, although they are good at hiding from the mountains and forests, but if the police really mobilize a large force to search, it will be very troublesome.

Xie Houming was thrown into the cage, and his hands were tied together with the iron cage.

......

......

Cheng Bin, Gu Xiaojun, and Zheng Weimin of the Xihe Road Police Station they recruited, a cadre of police officers, groped their way forward in the mountains and forests.

It was already dark, and the flashlight lit up and shone on the map, where several spots were already circled.

Gu Xiaojun frowned, "You shouldn't let Cheng Ran chase after you......"

Before, when they arrived at the said location, they only saw Cheng Ran's bicycle hidden in the forest, and then Cheng Ran called from the top of the mountain, saying that he saw the other party's car going in the direction of Black Dragon Pond.

Cheng Bin synthesized the situation, the terrain of Black Dragon Pond is complicated, even if they know the direction, they can't search for that group of gangsters, and notifying the command headquarters will lead to a carpet search, the other party has the experience of fleeing many times to commit crimes, and the anti-investigation ability is extremely strong, if they can't keep it, they will flee again, and the hostages will also be in danger.

Only by pinpointing the other party, they will launch a surprise attack, or they may wipe out the gang.

Cheng Bin is not a pedantic person, when he could break into the drug factory in the criminal's village alone, he had the decisiveness to respond to the situation. Now that they are in front of them, there is only their nephew Cheng Ran in the end, so he finally asked Cheng Ran to continue to follow while ensuring his safety.

The last time they contacted Cheng Ran was two hours ago, when the hour hand pointed to five forty, and now it was close to eight o'clock, the sun had set over the high mountains fifteen minutes ago, the sky was a dull dark tone, and the dense jungle was darkening very quickly, and there was a strange gloomy atmosphere.

The mobile phone signal was interrupted in such a mountain forest, and the infinite depression and urgency invaded everyone at this time, and only the secret signals that echoed each other came from time to time on the radio.

Cheng Bin looked up and saw that his mobile phone had been given to a police officer, squatting on a higher mountain peak opposite.

"There's no way, that kid doesn't know what evil he has fallen into, and he actually chased after these gangsters by mistake...... Also, do you think I will listen to Cheng Ran if I let him stop now? This little thing was originally the least obedient of my four nephews...... Since there is no way to make him obedient, let's play a role for the time being...... We can only move forward in the direction he reported earlier, and keep an eye on the villages and bungalows...... If he still finds something, he may find a hill with a signal and call us again...... Xiao Zhang is over there, as soon as he receives a call, he will radio notify us as soon as possible, so go over immediately......"

......

......

"Sha Sha Sha ......" and Jiang Hongshao walked in the mountain forest, the sky was completely dark, they looked back on the way and went, only the mountain forest and the low-lying terrain in the distance, occasionally saw a few lights.

Cheng Ran felt that he was still a little miscalculated, not to mention this year, even in the later generations in some deep mountains, the mobile phone signal is also poor, and now Jiang Hongshao's mobile phone can only be used as lighting, and the dim fluorescent screen can at least play some role.

The two men walked in the jungle, and in the unknown place in front of them, there were murderous murderers, and the fear was still there, and it became more and more intense as the environment became more secluded.

Fortunately, there were two people after all, and those quiet and silent tapping on the heart made Jiang Hongshao involuntarily get closer to Cheng Ran.

The two came down the ramp and came to the road below, Cheng Ran looked down at the tire tracks on the dirt road, and then looked in one direction, "That car passed over here." ”

They followed the van all the way, and the deeper they went, the previous turf road gradually turned into a dirt road, and on the dirt road, it was easier to observe the tread pattern of the vehicle. Although there is no trace of the van, the tread pattern has always indicated their whereabouts.

Now Cheng Ran and Jiang Hongshao are standing on a downhill road, this road is crooked, reaching the bottom, from the dark sky, it is vaguely seen that it is an abandoned reservoir factory.

Intuition told the two that the gang of gangsters should be down there.

"Don't go the right way, we're going over the hill, and you've been staring at the signal......"

Cheng Ran thinks that the biggest benefit of Nokia in Jiang Hongshao's hand now is the standby time, so far, the full battery has only dropped by one bar, and it is estimated that it will be no problem to last for two or three days.

But there's just no signal......

As soon as the two of them arrived at the mountain adjacent to the reservoir, they could see the environment and courtyard in the factory area from this position, Cheng Ran suddenly felt Jiang Hongshao pinching his hand in private, he immediately stopped, and followed Jiang Hongshao's finger, Cheng Ran saw from this position on the top of the abandoned factory control tower, a person's head shook a little, and a person appeared there, looking around.

Cheng Ran secretly said that it was dangerous, he was fortunate to have more eyes, if they had followed that road just now, they would have been discovered by the other party.

At this time, they were shaded by the forest leaves, and the sky was dark, and the other party couldn't see them at all.

Now Cheng Ran and Jiang Hongshao are both dirty. But the two men looked at each other, and they both saw some kind of burning flame in each other's eyes.

This fire in their hearts is the reason why they have been searching and exploring like this. Maybe it's the hatred of the most vicious gangsters, maybe it's the expansion of the good side of the heart, maybe it's the irrepressible excitement of being involved in solving a big case.

The two of them moved along the ridge, and at this time, the situation ahead was more prominent.

The van stopped next to a pier with a broken bridge that stretched directly into the center of the waterhole, and what the two of them saw was a scene of tearing.

The rear tailgate of the van opened, and the iron cage containing the man had been sent to the edge of the dock, and a man was smoking next to the van on the shore, the cigarette butts were lit and extinguished, and at the other end of the bridge, the three men with the man in the jacket were on the edge of the iron cage, talking something.

The gangsters plus the control tower are currently five people, and Cheng Ran judged that this is almost all their number based on the information of their previous lives.

And the iron cage containing the hostage Xie Houming has come to the water's edge, the person is tied to the cage, the water depth is more than ten or twenty meters, once pushed down, Xie Houming is simply weak.

Even if the salvage is started immediately, the people will not be saved.

Jiang Hongshao's voice quietly came from her ears, "Cheng Ran, what should I do?"
