After reporting to the waiting bureau, Xu Jianjun discussed with the deputy captain, and the deputy captain got out of the car. After a while, the deputy captain called another person, and both of them got into the car.

Xu Jianjun looked at the three of them and said: "Just now in the lodging cornfield, a number of footprints were found, one of the footprints showed that there were dense grooves, and there seemed to be non-skid lines, obviously not the yellow rubber shoes worn by the three villagers, it should be outdoor hiking shoes or sneakers." This set of shoe prints not only remained in the lodging clearing, but also extended northward, through the cornfields, and was the only group that led to the uphill direction. Someone broke corn from the cornfield and went up the hillside to the north, and the set of shoe prints were two sets of opposite directions, which must have been caused by the round trip.

In the corn field, in addition to the lodging corn stalks, there are many young corn that have been eaten, and a lot of corn on the seedlings is also missing. Obviously, this person was already hungry and hungry, and after a 'full meal' on the spot, he took a lot of it away, which should be reserved or used for barbecue. All indications indicate that this person is likely to have come down from the mountain first, and it is very likely that he has been hiding in the mountain for many days, which is very consistent with the characteristics of the target suspect. Then what we have to do is to go up the mountain and search, find the suspect's hiding nest, until the suspect is arrested.

From the perspective of the police force at the scene, it is obvious that there are not enough manpower to conduct the mountain search, especially at night. However, it is some distance from the village, so it is relatively less disturbed, and we have only been there for a short time, and the vehicles are sheltered by trees, so it is likely that they are not exposed. We must search at the first opportunity and not give the suspect too much time to escape and transfer. I have just reported the situation here to the waiting bureau, and I have also reported the plan to search the mountain, and he is sending people to rush here.

Now we were going to search the mountains, and the first group was going from the west side, advancing around the perimeter of the grove; The second group walked on the east side and went up the hill from the side of the mountain beam; The third group walked in the middle, passing through the cornfield and following the footprints up the hill. Our main task now is to find the traces of the suspects, and second, to control the transfer of suspects as much as possible, and wait for the arrival of a large number of police forces before conducting a real search or arrest. Therefore, we should not be in a hurry, we must first stabilize so as not to startle the snake, and we must be more careful of the other party's sneak attack. Let everyone check the equipment and protection, and then set off according to the division of labor, and communicate in time when the target is found. ”

The vice captain and the two replied "understood" and got out of the car.

Xu Jianjun and criminal policeman Xiao Zhang immediately checked the guns and police equipment and checked the protective devices on their bodies.

"Lao Xu, what about me?" Li Xiaohe asked.

"You're in the car." Xu Jianjun replied while inspecting.

"In the car? When I was in the county seat, I was worried that the guy touched the house, but now that I am at the scene, what if I am left alone, what if he touches the car? Li Xiaohe asked.

"That's not your ......" Halfway through the words, Xu Jianjun's tone changed, "Okay, it's really not safe to leave you alone." That's it, you follow behind us, don't just walk around, understand? ”

Li Xiaohe nodded: "Understood." ”

"I can tell you, this is different from the usual situation, you must obey my arrangements unconditionally, especially the dangers around you." Speaking of this, Xu Jianjun leaned over and took a bag from the trunk, "Put this on." ”

"Okay." Li Xiaohe took the bag, took out the bulletproof vest inside, and put it on his body.

"Take this, and I can only give you this, and this." As Xu Jianjun spoke, he took two more objects, "Usually, non-police officers are not allowed to use these police equipment, but now the situation is special, and you are an important insider, so you were temporarily allowed to hold it." But it's for your defense, and you don't want to use it to attack, that will only increase your danger. ”

"Yes." In response, Li Xiaohe took the baton and electric shocker.

The three of them got out of the car, and it happened that the criminal policeman Xiao Liu also arrived in front of the car. So the four of them walked into the cornfield together, with three policemen in front and Li Xiaohe behind.

After passing through the lodging lot, following the direction of the group of footprints that had been scouted, everyone went out of the plot and came down the hillside. After a slight pause, Xu Jianjun made a gesture and walked first, and Li Xiaohe followed closely behind.

In the middle of July, it has already entered the Futian, and the temperature is not low at night, and it is still warm. It's past ten o'clock, and with the trees and vegetation on the hillside, it's cooler. Just walking in the dark, it was inevitable to stumble under my feet, but except for one time when I almost fell, the rest of the times just slipped under my feet. Compared with the police, Li Xiaohe walked this kind of road in the dark at night much less, he hadn't walked for several years, and he had a flashlight to illuminate the road the few times he walked before. In addition, the key is that I didn't think of this at all today, and I am wearing leather shoes on my feet, which cannot be compared with the professional shoes of the police.

The good thing is that the three of them led the way in front, and they looked at each other as they walked, the speed of travel was not fast, and they gradually adapted to the light, and Li Xiaohe walked a lot more calmly.

The old problem is solved, and the new problem is coming, mosquitoes. These nights, Li Xiaohe is in the house, spending very little time in the yard, and basically not going to places with grass. But today, on the contrary, when I went directly to the grass, I simply fell into a mosquito nest, not only "buzzing" in my ears from time to time, but also often being "kissed" by them. In order to reduce the danger of exposure, Li Xiaohe could only endure it, and did not dare to make a sound, and was willing to be the feeding ground of those vampires. Rao is like this, Li Xiaohe didn't dare to be too distracted, but endured the pain and paid attention to the surrounding situation.

At the beginning of the uphill slope, it was just some low vegetation, but as the slope increased in height, there were many more shrubs. Although I try to choose a gap to walk, I still inevitably rub against these shrubs, and occasionally make a "brush" sound. At this time, the four of them held their breath and listened to the movements around them, and then continued to move forward.

After walking for more than half an hour, there was no news from the two groups, but the sound of sirens was heard.

"Damn, it's just a special notice." Although Xu Jianjun scolded lightly, in fact, he also understood that there were pros and cons to turning on the siren, and there were more people for a while, and it was impossible to be silent. What's more, the suspect should be in a high place, it is condescending, and the vegetation is not enough to completely cover the figure.

The siren stopped, but Xu Jianjun's mobile phone "buzzed", and everyone had to stand in place. Xu Jianjun answered the phone, and the three of them were alert to the surrounding situation.

The call was made by the support police, and more than 30 police officers came in to cooperate with the entire mountain search operation. Xu Jianjun whispered to the other party about the grouping, and also asked the other party to march in three groups, and the other party said that he understood.

After ending the call and listening to the movement, the four of them continued to move forward. This time, the progress was a little slower, both because the bushes were taller and trees appeared, but also because they were waiting for the police to converge.

Compared with just now, surrounded by trees and tall shrubs, he suddenly felt a little more gloomy and cool, especially the sound of "rustling" wind blowing leaves from time to time, which also increased the cold atmosphere, Li Xiaohe couldn't help but be a little nervous.

"Plop Leng", a sound sounded, and there was also the sound of the wind, and the four of them were suddenly startled. Immediately realized that it was the birds perched next to it that were startled, and the other party alarmed these people, but it was the people who alarmed the other party first. Looking at each other and smiling, the four of them continued on their way.

When I reached the upper part of the hill, the police who came from behind also arrived. After the convergence, there was a simple communication, and the group was divided into small areas, and then searched for the heights.

With the increase in police force, the entire surrounding area has become more popular, and the tension in Li Xiaohe's heart has weakened a lot, and he is also in the mood to think about things.

Through this experience just now, Li Xiaohe has a new understanding of himself. I usually feel that I am not bad, I feel that I am bold, and I can fight a few times, and I dare to face difficulties in the face of emergencies. But at this moment, when his life may be threatened, he is still a big gap between himself and the professional police, and his psychological tolerance is also much weaker.

The altitude is getting higher and higher, the surrounding trees are also much taller, the overall trees are much thicker, the cold air between the trees is heavier, and there is also a chill on the arms.

"Fluttering", another sound of birds startled.

The people stopped, waited for the sound to pass, listened again, and then began to move forward again.

Just a few steps away, Xu Jianjun suddenly stopped, and after a pause, he turned his head and asked softly, "Was there any of our people in that place just now?" ”

"Where the birds are flying? Not...... Oops, there shouldn't be. Xiao Zhang's voice was alert.

"Be aware of your surroundings." After mentioning the warning, Xu Jianjun said, "Contact those groups to verify the situation." ”

"Okay." In response, Xiao Zhang walked away a little and connected with the groups.

After a while, Xiao Zhang came to Xu Jianjun's side and said softly: "There are indeed no of us there." ”

"Hmm", Xu Jianjun put a coat on his head, looked at the walkie-talkie, and lowered his voice as low as possible: "Attention to all groups, attention to all groups, the area where the bird took off just now is suspicious." One group of six people gathered there, three groups also divided six people to run to that place, and two groups continued to search normally. ”

"One group understands."

"The second group understands."

Both groups responded.

Li Xiaohe's group is the third group, and six people have also been divided, led by the criminal policeman Xiao Zhang, to assemble in that area. Li Xiaohe continued to stay with Xu Jianjun and continued to move forward in the established direction.

The discovery of a suspicious area means that a suspicious person is nearby, and there is a possibility of appearing at any time, and the whole atmosphere is tense again. This is not just Li Xiaohe's nervousness, but a natural reaction of all people to a potential threat.

The pace was slower, more cautious, and much slower, and about half an hour passed, and it didn't go far.

Suddenly, in the silent night sky, a voice sounded: "Damn, Lao Tzu is here, here are the strips." ”

Hearing this, everyone stopped and raised their vigilance.

"Attention, prepare for battle." Xu Jianjun issued an order at the right time.

At this time, the atmosphere at the scene was much more tense.

Li Xiaohe subconsciously clenched the police weapon in his hand.
