July 28 at 7 a.m. Under the escort and supervision of hundreds of armed police and public security officers, more than 200 people involved in the case were handcuffed and put on a large military truck covered with green canvas. Peng Gang, the leader of the Dingye City Armed Police Squadron, led the team and escorted these people to Xuyuan County.

In addition, all the firearms, drugs, and smuggled materials involved in the case were loaded onto minibuses and several large trucks after a series of procedures such as counting, registration, photographing, and videotaping. Led by Qu Gang, at nine o'clock, they set off from Gushan Village and rushed to Xuyuan County.

This operation was planned at 7 a.m. on 27 July, and by 11 p.m., the first phase of the task was completed, that is, to cut off some of Zhao Boxiang's henchmen and complete the encirclement of the criminal gang's dens by the vanguard troops. At one o'clock in the morning of the 28th, a large group of people rushed to the village of Gushan. At about two o'clock in the morning, the official attack, and at four o'clock in the morning, the entire resistance ended, and the stage of clearing the battlefield was carried out. By 7 a.m., the entire clearance process was over.

During the operation, a total of 568 firearms of various types, more than 12,000 rounds of ammunition, more than 2,000 machetes and other murder weapons, 24 kilograms of various drugs, and 13 vehicles involved in the case were seized. A drug-making den was smashed and 237 people were arrested. The whole operation can be described as a huge harvest, especially the amount of drugs seized is the largest single case in Dingye City, and I am afraid that it is also one of the best cases in the province.

As the deputy commander-in-chief of the operation, as the direct commander of the operation, and as the main promoter of the operation, Chu Tianqi has made great contributions, but he can't be happy. In his opinion, the operation is not over, let alone complete, because the biggest culprit in this case has not been caught. Moreover, Zhao Boxiang ran under his own nose, so what does this make the comrades think? Even if others do not criticize and evaluate, they will not be able to pass this hurdle in their hearts.

When counting the people involved in the case just now, Chu Tianqi personally passed in front of these people one by one, looked at everyone's appearance, and even conducted a special inspection of individual personnel, but there was no one among them who he was looking for. Not only that, when the armed police and public security officers gathered, Chu Tianqi also secretly observed these people, and did not find any suspicious person suspected of Zhao Boxiang.

Since Zhao Boxiang has not been arrested, the operation is not completely over. In addition to the withdrawal of all the officers and men of the armed police, only some of the public security officers and policemen were withdrawn, and there were still 80 cadres and policemen who searched for Zhao Boxiang together with Chu Tianqi. These 60 cadres and police officers are all selected from the best, and they are absolutely excellent in both individual combat and teamwork.

Due to the large number of tunnels in the mountain village, Chu Tianqi has arranged for people to block the entrances and exits of the tunnels, and only two exits are currently left, each of which is guarded by five police officers. In addition, he has arranged ten patrol teams, each with four police officers, to patrol around the clock. From 7 a.m. to 1 p.m., there are two groups of patrols, and from 1 p.m. to 7 p.m., two more groups of patrols. The remaining six groups are arranged to patrol alternately at night for two time periods. In addition, 20 police officers were assigned to be on duty at different important locations.

After arranging these tasks, Chu Tianqi led the rest of the personnel to go into the underground bunker, wanting to find something out of it, and search for Zhao Boxiang by the way.

Now almost all the tunnels have been searched, and all the rooms have been searched many times, but they have not found the passage to the office, I don't know if they didn't find the right one, or if there was no other exit from the tunnel. There is no safer way to open that exit now, and that is to look for it from other sources.

Among these people who led the way for Chu Tianqi, in addition to Qiu Zhikang and other police officers, there were three other people - Yang Tianming, Xiao Wanfu, and police officer Xiaosun. Of course, all three were handcuffed, and they were all suspects, who were found in underground bunkers.

Coming to the hole next to the stinky ditch, Yang Tianming introduced: "This hole is opened once every three to four months, and the iron gate is usually closed, covered with rubber, and the top is covered with soil and weeds. ”

"What about the people over there, they won't come out for a hundred days?" Chu Tianqi was puzzled.

Yang Tianming replied: "In principle, yes, but not necessarily, in addition to here, there are two other imports and exports. However, the two entrances and exits are not allowed to enter and exit casually, they are usually guarded, and there must be a leader's approval. We all came in through a different hole. ”

Chu Tianqi looked back at the three of them: "Alas, why bother? If you don't do a good job, you have to get involved in this kind of thing." ”

Yang Tianming smiled sadly: "There is no regret medicine in the world, since I got on Zhao Boxiang's thief ship, in fact, one foot has entered the ghost gate." I have always been called 'Little Zhuge 'by people', which is of course an exaggerated ridicule, but it also shows that I am not stupid, I also pride myself on being very smart, and I don't suffer losses in many things, but I have made the most fatal mistakes. Originally, he followed the curve, although he was a big and rough man, but his personality was not bad, and he was quite protective of his brothers. But at that time, I thought I was a little smart, and I always felt that I was buried by him, so I wanted to be close to Zhao Boxiang. Of course, at that time, looking at Zhao Boxiang, all aspects were better than the game, especially I think Zhao Boxiang is more like a humble gentleman. Who knew that since I got in touch with him, the nightmare began.

From the time I got in touch with him to the present, he didn't embarrass me or force me to do anything a lot of the time. But he controls that kind of thing in his hands, and I can't resist it at all, so I have to mix around Qu Ju and be Zhao Boxiang's undercover agent. This was the only time he used a commanding tone against me, and I realized then that I had no choice but to turn back. Looking back on my past few years, it's like participating in a game of death, where you can only move forward, not retreat, and when the game is over, you can only exchange your life for chips. However, it's okay to be relieved, I've been too tired to live in the past few years. ”

"Yes, it's a road to death. Xiao Wanfu couldn't help but sigh.

"Hey. Policeman Xiao Zhang sighed and shed tears of remorse.

Looking at these three people, Chu Tianqi felt very uncomfortable in his heart, these were originally comrades-in-arms, but now they were standing on the opposite side. Although there are many things that I can't control, I can't help but feel infinite emotion and regret.

Walking into this underground bunker, Chu Tianqi found that the project was huge. It's a small society, with almost all kinds of facilities. It's no wonder that hundreds of people can stay down there for hundreds of days or so in a row. In particular, I don't feel breath-holding at all, which shows that the ventilation system is very good. However, these facilities are all for the commission of crimes, all for the production of drugs, and there are also other facilities for the purpose of covering up crimes, such as the construction of tanneries, which produce some black wastewater, which is used to hide the foam in the waste water and also to mask the smell of drugs.

Qiu Zhikang introduced as he walked: "Director, according to a captured leader, he said that he had followed Zhao Boxiang for a long time and had been rescued by Zhao Boxiang. He said that this place was built 30 years ago, when it was left with a particularly large pit because of the explosion of rocks. Zhao Boxiang, who was still the commander of the militia company at the time, led a group of students from the south to build this underground space as an air-raid shelter. Times have changed, and this bunker has no use, so it is slowly abandoned, and even the entrance to the cave has been blocked. When the Jucai Company had just entered and the villagers had just moved out, Zhao Boxiang asked Xizi and several other cronies to expand and renovate it, and put the drug-making materials inside. Lian Lian's previous office had a passage to enter here, but I don't know why I didn't find a passage to connect with Zhao Boxiang's house. ”

When they came out of the bunker, it was already noon, and everyone was eating a boxed lunch, which was bought from a restaurant in the town. Although there is water, electricity and food here, who dares to eat in the drug den?

……

When it got dark, the day passed like this, but there was no progress in the whole search and arrest work.

At nine o'clock, Zhou Zikai called: "Xiao Chu, how is it?"

Chu Tianqi said: "I didn't find it." All the tunnels went through again, and many rooms were entered and searched several times, but no clues were found, and no passages connected to the tunnels were found. The exit had steel plates and explosives tied to it, and it couldn't be pried open, it couldn't be blasted, and it couldn't be cut. ”

Zhou Zikai said: "I called you just to tell you about it." I learned that the Provincial Aviation Research Institute has waterjet cutting equipment, which can carry out one-time cutting processing of any curve on any material, and the heat generated during cutting will be immediately taken away by the high-speed flowing water jet, which does not produce harmful substances and has no thermal effect on the material. ”

Chu Tianqi was very excited: "That's great, I only heard that this technology is used a lot abroad, and it is not widely used in China, and it is only useful in the aerospace and petroleum fields." If there is such equipment in the province, then ......"

"Don't be too happy, I'm not done yet. Zhou Zikai interrupted Chu Tianqi, "I contacted the Provincial Aviation Research Institute, but their equipment is so large that it can't be moved at all." ”

Hearing this, Chu Tianqi's heart cooled: since he can't move, what's the use of saying it.

Zhou Zikai's voice continued: "But the deputy director said that he can contact the Hexi Petroleum Administration to see if he can borrow a portable waterjet from the Administration." ”

"Oh. Chu Tianqi said in his heart: Why can't you speak and pant for breath, and you can't explain it at once?

"The deputy director said he would call me back tomorrow. Speaking of this, Zhou Zikai changed the topic, "Zhou Tong is also there, right? You let him go back to the county tomorrow, she has a child at home, and Xiao Zheng can't take care of it." ”

Obedient and listening, Chu Tianqi understood that Zheng Zhiwu might have complained to Zhou Zikai again. In fact, he didn't want Zhou Tong to be here, which was both easy and inconvenient. When the tent was allocated just now, he ran into trouble, the tent of six people had to let Zhou Tong occupy one alone, and the male policeman needed to squeeze it. So he hurriedly said: "Zhou Ju, let me tell her, if she doesn't listen, you can also tell her." ”

"The director can't control the subordinate section chief. After the ridicule, Zhou Zikai hung up the phone.

"Hey. Chu Tianqi couldn't help but sigh and hung up the phone.

"Director, Director. Suddenly, a female voice came.

Hearing this voice, Chu Tianqi couldn't help but have a big head, he really said that Cao Cao Cao Cao arrived, what are you doing so late?

"Director, something's wrong. Before the words fell, Zhou Tong had already walked into the tent.
