Chapter 48: Hunting for White Eyebrows
After Vice Minister Sun arrived in Haibin City, he never left, and he has never been able to rest. Of course, he is not as chic as Director Zhou, who can inspect the work everywhere. He is here in command, and he is in charge of the pursuit operations in various places by remote control.
After Ren Xiaotian provided the portrait of 'white eyebrows', Sun Hongning was criticized a lot by senior leaders. The director of Huanghai City, Cao, has also been subjected to 'shuanggui' because of economic problems. Of course, Sun Hongning knows the mystery.
The economic problem is only a superficial phenomenon, and the key reason is that Director Cao participated in the creation of a fake assassin. The above reacted so quickly, in fact, it was also a warning to his own family.
In just a few days, Sun Hongning has obviously aged a lot. The original meticulous hairstyle was also neglected for several days. Despite this, he still stuck to his post day and night. In any case, it is necessary to put out the posture of devotion to duty.
At Sun Hongning's urging, all provinces set up pursuit commands. Not only is he responsible for the pursuit of the province, but he also has to transmit the latest news to the general headquarters in Haibin City anytime and anywhere.
The whole country is arresting 'white eyebrows'. Not only are the police busy, but the army is also dispatching a lot. The armed police force, of course, is going into battle. Even the field troops were dispatched quite a bit. With this momentum alone, it is clear that the top of the road is determined to catch that 'white eyebrow'.
Located on the border line, a small border town, although it is the height of summer in July, it is still like spring, attracting countless tourists.
When the sun was setting, a lone traveler came to the small inn in the village. A middle-aged man in his thirties didn't bring any carry-on luggage, but he carried a small bag in his hand, saying that he came from the Central Plains, specifically to take a look at the scenery of Biansai.
The owner of the small hostel is a Bai father. When he saw the guests coming, of course, he was busy walking down from the small bamboo building where he lived to welcome the guests. It's just that when he swept the visitor's face, he found that the man's eyebrows were all white, and he was slightly stunned.
The police in the town came to say hello, saying that they had found someone with long white eyebrows, and they must report it in time. This matter cannot be delayed, and the news must be spread out quickly.
However, his disguised movements were also very fast, and he immediately greeted him very enthusiastically. Soon, the guests were let up on the bamboo floor. The two of them drank tea and talked at the same time. As the conversation gradually deepened, it further aggravated the suspicion of the Bai Father.
"There are still as many hunters here as there used to be, right?" This tourist was very strange, and before he could wait to stay, he pulled Daddy to inquire about the situation.
Daddy Bai is also very talkative, and proudly said: "When I was young, I was a good hunter. There are far fewer young people who can hunt than we do. β
"Then when you hunt, can you run to the other country?"
"It's normal. When you get to the mountains, who can tell which part is which country? However, everyone basically has a number, and they won't run blindly. β
"Oh, Daddy, if you give you a little more money, can you take me to the other side?"
"Ahem, ahemβ" Daddy Bai was choked and coughed when he heard the tourist ask such a question.
He coughed a few times before he replied with a greedy look, "Hehe, it's easy to say, it's easy to say." With money, it's easy to say anything. β
This tourist is so strange, the content of the inquiry, not concerned about the surrounding mountains and rivers, but particularly interested in the path to a neighboring foreign country. How can there be no problem for a good person who doesn't take the regular tourist route, but thinks about smuggling!
The hospitable daddy can talk, not only taking the initiative to introduce the customs of the other side to the guests, but also letting the guests know how to travel to a foreign country privately. After arriving at the most Lu, the two also reached an agreement to escort them out of the country.
After the guests were settled, he asked the 'Brother Peng' next door to help him go to the market to buy vegetables. He himself was busy boiling water, saying that it was so that the guests could wash the dust off their bodies.
Not long after, a platoon of soldiers from the border guards, under the leadership of 'Brother Peng', surrounded the bamboo building where the guests lived. After shouting, the man himself raised his hands and walked down from the bamboo building.
White eyebrows are also white eyebrows, the difference is only the 'white eyebrows' on the portrait, only one side of the eyebrows is white. This person, however, has white eyebrows. Despite this, although this person is not the 'white eyebrow' that the police want to arrest, he must be suspicious and was taken away by the border guards.
After examination, this person is indeed a criminal. After killing people in the mainland, he wanted to smuggle out of the country from this area.
The man originally thought that this Bai clan daddy was a money-greedy character. For a few dollars, you can smuggle yourself abroad through the routes of hunters. Unexpectedly, he had just begun to inquire about the news, and he was soon caught in such a small place.
A toll booth on a national highway in the south.
The large passage with a lot of traffic suddenly stopped. For no other reason, a ten-wheeled truck was stopped by a toll booth.
"There are signs of alteration on your driver's license, and it must be reviewed by the authorities." The staff at the toll booth deducted their driver's license with a blank face.
The driver who drove the car was a big man with a bit of a hurry. As soon as he heard the toll collector say this, he jumped out of the car and threw a tantrum at the toll collector.
He yelled loudly: "I have just passed the annual examination of my driver's license, how can there be a problem?" Where is such a reason, isn't it just a little water spot? β
Just as he rushed into the toll booth office next to the road and wanted to argue with the station leader, he found himself surrounded by a group of heavily armed policemen. At this moment, he was dumbfounded on the spot.
I was just dissatisfied with the difficulties of the toll collector, and I just wanted to get justice, why did I let the police dispatch such a big position? No matter who it is, when they reach such a situation, they can only obediently raise their hands and surrender and accept the police review.
After checking it out, it was just a misunderstanding. There were a few more white hairs on this man's eyebrows, which of course attracted the attention of the toll collector.
In accordance with the requirements of the police, he gave a signal that he had found the target, and casually found an excuse that was so rotten that it couldn't be worse, saying that the driver's license had been altered, and made it difficult for the driver.
After knowing that this was the case, the driver, who was already dissatisfied, was angry with the police. The final result, of course, was that the police apologized and said countless good things before sending the unlucky driver out of the door.
The same story is played out every day across the country. Every day, someone will find the trace of 'white eyebrows'. Sometimes, it is possible to report the discovery of 'white eyebrows' in several places at the same time during the day.
It's a pity that it's all empty and joyful news. When the large army arrives, it is often empty, and people are busy. Of course, it's not all for nothing. Stories like those in border towns don't happen once.
Repeatedly pulling the net back and forth, although I didn't catch the 'white eyebrow', there were a lot of other small fish and shrimp. As a result, police departments in many places have cracked many hidden cases and backlog cases.
The station dock is full of police officers setting up cards. There are also military and police officers at all major traffic points. The passage of time made all the military and police officers involved in the search red-eyed.
As time passed, the pressure on the police in various places also increased. It's basically adding layers of code, saying what it's called pressure transmission. As a result, no matter how ugly or ugly it is, you have to rush to report your work results to it.
News flew like snowflakes to Seaside City. Analysis and analysis goes, but there is not a single piece of useful news. At this time, some people raised a possibility: Could it be that 'Bai Mei' has fled abroad?
This kind of inference is not untargeted, and it is very likely to be established, and it is not a big problem for a professional killer like 'Bai Mei' to find a random place to hide for a few years. Didn't he suddenly disappear for five years before that?
Besides, the obstacles on the national border are also useless for people like them, and they do not play a role at all. As for the ability to adapt to local life, it is not a problem. Whether it is language or customs, it is a trivial matter that 'white eyebrows' are familiar with.
The temporary headquarters set up in the city district bureau is still busy. Seeing that time passed day by day, there was no news about the pursuit of 'White Eyebrows', and the atmosphere in the headquarters became a little tense and a little depressing.
By evening, the frequency of phone rings had thinned out, and the intelligence analysts who had been sending the latest news back and forth during the day had slowed down. It feels like there is no hope for solving the case in the near future.
Where is this damn 'white eyebrow' hiding?
In the small reception room, the people sitting there were still only Vice Minister Sun Hongning and Director Zhou Shaosong. The other subordinates are busy with their own work. Even people who have nothing to do don't dare to get around these two leaders.
As we all know, in the recent period, that area is a high-risk zone, and anger may erupt anytime and anywhere. The people present are all veteran policemen, and such a little crisis can still be seen.
The two leaders sat idle, so they could only let wisps of green smoke keep rising into the air, and then send them outside through the exhaust holes. Director Zhou stared at the smoke ring that rose with his eyes facing the sky, gradually spreading and disappearing, as if there was a mystery in it to solve the case.
Sun Hongning didn't like Zhou Shaosong's attitude of not caring about himself, as if whether he could solve the case or not had nothing to do with him. Hmph, from the bottom of my heart, this guy is more anxious than anyone else. Since you're going to put on a posture that doesn't matter, then I'll go straight to the bottom and see what you do.
"Brother Zhou, do you think that 'white eyebrows' will really run out of the country?" Sun Hongning frowned, and he was very serious about discussing with Zhou Shaosong.
