Chapter 233: Bamboo
"Battalion commander!" Deputy Director Xie replied with some embarrassment: "What you said is right, but what can we do if the people can't remember this phone number?" Do you still give out phone numbers as tasks for them to memorize? We have so many public security bureaus, and we can't memorize so many phone numbers......"
I smiled and shook my head, no wonder Deputy Director Xie, he is a person of this era, and due to the limitations of this era, he doesn't know that there is such a thing as a national phone number, which is a lot in our modern times, such as 110, 120, 119, and all kinds of banks have their own universal numbers.
"Isn't it enough to get a number that is easy to remember?" I said, "For example, 110, make this number a nationwide one, no matter who calls, no matter where it is called, no matter which phone it is, as long as you press these three numbers, you will receive a ...... from the nearby public security bureau."
"Hmm!" Hearing this, Deputy Director Xie couldn't help but be stunned: "There are still ...... Can such a good thing be done? β
At this time, I realized that Deputy Director Xie did not expect this, not only because of the limitations of the times, but also because of the limitations of knowledge.
"Of course you can!" I said, "It's not a high-tech thing, we can all get missiles, and we can't make this thing?" β
"That, that's a good feeling!" Deputy Director Xie immediately nodded in agreement: "Battalion commander, your mention is too good, if you can really get this...... 110, then the people all over the country only need to remember a number, which will undoubtedly improve the efficiency of the people's police and enhance the response ability of the public security department. This may not be obvious in one or two cases, but if it is popularized nationwide...... That's a big problem. β
Of course, what Deputy Director Xie said is reasonable, China is vast and has many people. Dan everything that involves the whole country. That is to pull a hair and move the whole body.
Take this police call, for example. If we look at it from a national perspective, it will change from quantitative to qualitative and become a sharp weapon for cracking down on criminals.
"But the battalion commander!" Then Deputy Director Xie said: "Although the construction you mentioned is reasonable, now that I think about it, the reason why the two kings incident in front of me was able to wander to many places and escape even if we found out was that the police were not timely enough to guide the overall response speed of the public security department. But...... It's not a matter of a day or two to get this alarm call up. Let's talk about this now, isn't it far from quenching our thirst?! β
Of course, what Deputy Director Xie said is right, in fact, a considerable part of the people in this era are deaf to what is going on outside the window...... This is the characteristic of an agricultural country, during this period after China's industry is still extremely weak, it is in the initial stage of transformation from an agricultural society to an industrial society, and a considerable part of the people still guard their own one-third of an acre.
Therefore, even after popularizing "110" for a long time, the people still did not develop the habit of calling the "110" police, until the "National Urban 110 Alarm Service Desk Construction Work Site Meeting" was held in Zhangzhou to promote "Zhangzhou 110", and it was gradually known to the people.
In other words. This is indeed one of the reasons why the two kings of the director can wander around and commit crazy crimes but can repeatedly escape from the pursuit of the public security, but it is not an overnight thing to improve.
And in front of you. The Erwang incident continued to ferment in society, and even rumors flew all over the sky...... As I said before, because our country is not well-informed at this time, the news is generally passed on by word of mouth between people, and everyone will always add some personal colors or their own imagination when spreading the news, so they will spread the two kings to their gods.
For example, these two people are sharpshooters, and they are quite chivalrous, they only fight the public and do not kill the people, and the number of killings is also exaggerated, some are one hundred and eighty, some are three or four hundred, and there are even thousands of people.
Although these rumors are untenable, they will also bring great pressure to society and the public security.
Because at this time, everyone knows that if the two kings are captured, they will not be able to stop the spread of rumors, and if the rumors continue to spread like this, it is very likely that some other lawbreakers or speculators will follow suit, and then the world will be in chaos.
It is no wonder that the public security of the whole country will be disturbed by this case...... At this time, the Erwang incident was no longer a simple murder case, but a matter directly related to social stability.
"The second king is trapped now, isn't he?" I asked.
"Yes!" Deputy Director Xie nodded: "They fled to a mountain in the Xujiang Forest Farm in Guangchang, Jiangxi, and we dispatched more than 30,000 public security, armed police and militiamen, including a helicopter, to surround the mountain on all sides. β
I couldn't help but smile bitterly when I heard this, more than 30,000 people searched for two people, and this battle was big enough.
However, this also shows that the detection methods of this era are too backward.
Perhaps seeing my thoughts, Deputy Director Xie explained: "The main reason is that the terrain of this mountain is very complex and the area is large, and we have searched for several days but have not found anything, and there is a police dog that is tired to death......
"Tell me exactly what kind of terrain it is!"
"Shame...... It's about the same as Vietnam! Deputy Director Xie replied: "The grass is deep and dense, and there is mud everywhere, and people hiding in it to find out are looking for a needle in a haystack." β
"Hmm!" I nodded.
Of course, I know this when I have stayed on the Sino-Vietnamese border, just like when we were fighting in the past, when we were pulling nets and clearing the nets, we had to first set fire to the mountains, burn all the trees and grass, and then search and suppress them again and again.
Now to find out these two kings...... We can't put a fire on our own territory and burn this mountain clean first.
At this time, I thought of Chen Yiyi and Chen Qiaoqiao, both of whom are good at jungle tracking and may be able to help in this regard.
But after thinking about it, I feel that things don't need to be so complicated, I remember that the reason why the two kings in history couldn't run and were killed by both of them in the end was because there was a bamboo forest on the mountain that had just been cut down, and the bamboo roots that had been cut diagonally were stuck upside down on the ground like a sharp sword facing the sky.
It's okay if you walk slowly, as long as you carefully avoid these things like bamboo sticks, but if you are chased, you will inevitably step on them.
Thinking of this, I asked Deputy Director Xie: "There are bamboos on that mountain!" β
"Yes, there are many and dense, which is one of the reasons why it is difficult for us to find them." Then Deputy Director Xie asked with doubts on his face: "Why is the battalion commander asking this?!" β
"Chop bamboo!" I say.
"Chopping bamboo?" Hearing this, Deputy Director Xie couldn't help but be stunned.
"That's right, it's cutting bamboo!" I said, "Don't you have 30,000 men?" Ten thousand men went in with firewood knives to cut bamboo. But be careful, cut the bamboo diagonally from the roots, so that it looks like an upside-down sword, understand? β
"Oh!" Hearing this, Deputy Director Xie suddenly realized: "It makes sense, not only can this make the two kings lose their hiding place, but we find that they can't run fast......"
Thinking about Deputy Director Xie, he couldn't help but stand up excitedly and said, "I'll convey it right away!" β
For a long time after Deputy Director Xie left, I still felt a little unbelievable...... More than 30,000 people were mobilized to pursue the two fugitives. If this is on the battlefield, even if the fugitive is finally chased, it cannot be said to be a victory.
What happened next was as I had expected: the police led the militia into the mountains to chop down bamboo, cutting down one piece and advancing a little more, and then cutting down another piece and pushing forward a little further.
You must know that the militia of this era are all good at work, so the encirclement is slowly narrowed, and finally more than ten days later, Erwang was accidentally stabbed in the foot when he was tracked by police dogs and fled in a panic...... At that time, no one was caught, and according to Deputy Director Xie, they may have used the "walking back method", that is, walking forward for a while, then turning back and hiding in the jungle, so they avoided the search and arrest of the police.
But there was a breakthrough in this case.
First, it is because the injured part of the two kings is the foot, which will undoubtedly limit their mobility greatly...... You must know that the place where the two kings are trapped is in the deep mountains and old forests, and there is no medicine and no bandages here, and the wounds will soon become infected and inflamed.
Later, we learned that the situation of the two kings was not as bad as we thought, and it was only the younger brother Wang Zongyan who was injured, and they also picked herbs to dress the wounds.
The other is because the blood stains after the injury and the smell of the wound will bring a stronger source of smell to the police dog.
This is extremely important, the police dog has not been able to find the brothers before, because Wang Zongyan, who was a soldier, knows how to hide his smell or interfere with the police dog's tracking, but after the injury, these methods are not effective.
So on the third day, they were once again exposed to the search team's sight.
This time they were not so lucky, as they were both killed after shooting at the search party, and it is said that only some grass seeds were found in the stomachs of the two brothers during the autopsy, which they apparently used to feed their hunger these days.
"Battalion commander!" When it was confirmed that Erwang had been killed, Deputy Director Xie ran to my office as soon as possible and said excitedly: "The news just came that Erwang was killed. Alas...... We've been chasing for more than seven months, and many people don't want to eat during this time, but now I'm finally relieved. β
"Congratulations!" I said, "Now the public security department is just jubilant!" β
"Of course." Deputy Director Xie said: "By the way, the director also asked me to thank the battalion commander, thanks to your JianyΓ¬, we can submit the second king smoothly!" β
I shook my head disappreciatively, this may be a big victory for the public security department, but it really doesn't count as a matter for me. (To be continued......)
