It was not yet full light when I was pulled away from the hotel by a police car with the door opening at the back, and there were not many pedestrians in sight on the street in front of the hotel. The pre-dawn gunfire did not seem to cause much disturbance to the inhabitants of the area, and there was no obvious panic on people's faces. Passers-by who walked early hurriedly walked by, and the old man who swept the street had a leisurely face. Several police cars that arrived before dawn stopped silently in front of the slightly dilapidated door of this "Xuanfu Division", and there was no noise or noise inside or outside the door, and no one was curious to watch. The sun had quietly cast a little green light on the roof of the old building, making it seem like it was still a peaceful and ordinary morning. When I was carried downstairs on a stretcher, out of the gate, and into the police car, there was a faint sound in my ears about the suppressed cry of An Anxin, and there was no other abnormal sound, nothing unusual.

Early this morning, I met many policemen with serious faces, as well as Captain Wu, who had just been transferred from other places and had just taken up his new post, and I heard him comforting him with short words that were not good at words, and I also heard him loudly report the case to his superiors on the phone and deploy the surrounding area to blockade. Although it is only a few words, I can tell that this widespread siege will require a large number of troops. The person who was shot four times in the hotel bed has been confirmed to be Mao Jie's brother Mao Fang, and the person who kidnapped the bear is almost certainly his younger brother Mao Jie. Of course, they may have other accomplices, and the time is not too long before the crime, and it is estimated that the perpetrator may not have gone too far.

Although the police were relieved, they also said to me repeatedly: Don't worry, we must rescue the child! But Anxin still couldn't support it, and she couldn't even stop the hysterical trembling and desperate and helpless cries. The loss of the bear almost brought her spirit to the brink of collapse!

Anxin didn't go to the hospital with me, and she was taken to the guest house of the Municipal Public Security Bureau. The anti-narcotics brigade specially sent a female comrade to take care of her in the guest house, protect her, and also do the work of accompanying and enlightening. Many of her colleagues also went to the guest house to visit her and comfort her. They used to be her division commanders and comrades-in-arms, and their comfort had a special spiritual effect on An An. The Municipal Public Security Bureau also sent a policeman to the hospital to protect me, but the policeman was sent by a nearby sub-bureau, not from the anti-narcotics brigade, and he did not know Anxin.

I found out after an examination at the hospital that I had broken two ribs, one of which almost poked into my heart. I had a lot of blood in my chest. My shoulder, presumably dislocated from the first blow of the hair. The head was also swollen and broken, and there was a large blood clot on the back of the head. I was lying on the operating table, listening to the doctors and doctors, saying that this young man was really fateful, and it was not easy to survive. He also said that this is all about being young and in good health, if we let people fight like this, they will definitely die three times!

In the afternoon, Anxin came to the hospital, by which time she had calmed down and she came to see me. She hugged my body wrapped in a cast and gauze after surgery and sobbed softly. I couldn't speak anymore, and every breath I took would cause a sharp pain in my chest, and I couldn't comfort me.

When the doctor heard that a relative of me was coming, he called Anxin to the office and asked her who I was. She said it was my fiancée. The doctor informed her of my injuries. The doctor said it was serious, especially in my head, there was also oozing blood, the blood in the chest cavity had been discharged, but the clotting in the skull was still there. It is impossible to tell how badly the head wound was. The doctor suggested that in view of the current limited medical conditions in Nande, you should be sent to Guangping or Kunming immediately, otherwise your fiancé may be delayed.

Anxin said: Then go to Kunming!

I don't know why Anxin didn't choose the closer Guangping at that time, whether I thought the hospital in Kunming was better, or I instinctively didn't want to go to Guangping again.

In the evening, Anxin was feeding me in the ward, and a person from the anti-narcotics brigade came and hurriedly called her away from the bedside, and the young man sent by the substation to protect me took over and continued to feed me. My mind had been muddy, but I was still conscious when I was called away, and I realized that there might be some progress in the investigation of this case, and maybe the police had found the whereabouts of the bear.

It's a pity that I didn't guess correctly, the police called Anxin away because they received a phone call at dusk, and the call was made by Mao Jie, and it was on the phone number of the anti-narcotics brigade to report the case to the public, and he wanted to find Anxin. The police officer on duty said that peace of mind is not there, who are you? He said: I am Mao Jie. The policeman on duty didn't react for a while, and asked: Which Mao Jie? He said: It is an old lover who is at ease. You tell her to wait, I'll call again, I want to ask her if she wants that child anymore, and if she wants, send my brother back well. Judging from this phone call, Mao Jie didn't know that Mao Fang was dead, and this phone call certainly confirmed that Xiao Xiong was indeed in Mao Jie's hands as analyzed.

Like last time, after Mao Jie committed the crime, he once again rampantly called the anti-narcotics brigade, showing not only his unscrupulous and brave fighting, but also his youth and naivety. The policemen were not angered by Mao Jie's arrogance, but on the contrary, they felt special surprise and excitement. This call is exactly what they can't ask for, because it gives the police a very important clue. The phone of the anti-narcotics brigade has a caller ID function, which shows that Mao Jie is using a mobile phone, and the number of this mobile phone has been clearly left on the caller ID display. The police immediately issued an interrogation warrant through the Municipal Public Security Bureau, and soon found out that the name of the owner of the plane was Chen Baojin, the manager of a private construction company in Nande, and his hometown was from Dongpo Town, a suburb of Nande. The anti-narcotics brigade immediately sent people disguised themselves as customers of the contact project to the construction company to find Chen Baojin, and the people in the company said that he had not returned for a long time after he had gone to other places. The Nande Municipal Bureau reported to the Ministry of Public Security through the Provincial Public Security Department, and on the same day it was approved to use the aerial satellite to search for the mobile phone's signal. As soon as the phone is enabled again, satellites will soon be able to track its location.

I only knew that technology had developed, and using satellites to track telephone signals on the ground was a piece of cake. I've also watched the American movie "The Enemy of the State", so I know how powerful satellite tracking technology is. I also know that the Russian internal affairs forces used satellite tracking technology to find the handheld phone of the head of the Chechen rebels, Dudayev, and determined his location when Dudayev made a phone call, and then fired from thousands of miles away, killing him on the spot. But I didn't know that in China, in such a small border city of Nande, such advanced science and technology could also be used to arrest criminals.

Of course, I didn't know anything about the progress of these cases at the time, and I was still lying in a hospital bed and relying on *** to suppress the pain that seemed to be everywhere all over my body. I didn't know that from that night until the early morning of the next day, An An and a large group of police officers in full gear had been gathered in the conference room of the anti-narcotics brigade, standing next to the telephone and waiting for the call that could spy on Mao Jie's location.

Among the police officers who are waiting for them is a deputy director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau. He held on to another telephone, which connected to the bedrooms of the director, the mayor, and the secretary of the municipal party committee, and to the headquarters of the armed police garrison. An armed police unit in the South Germany region had received an order that night that no one would take off their armor and no guns should leave their bodies, and it was in a state of first-class combat readiness.

Guarding in front of this telephone was Lao Pan, the captain of the anti-narcotics brigade, who had just returned from Dali after knowing the situation. He and the other leaders of the team were whispering something in a corner of the conference room, surrounded by the deputy director, who was in charge himself.

An Xin sat in the other corner of the conference room, motionless and waiting for that call. In the middle of the night, most of the comrades around him were crooked in their chairs and took a nap, and even the deputy director was invited to rest in an office with a bed next door. Probably only Anxin didn't feel a little sleepy, even though she hadn't closed her eyes for two days and two nights. She was wondering what she would say to Mao Jie if that call came. Before she sat down on the telephone, she was told that once Mao Jie called, she had to talk to him as long as possible, and if she had nothing to say, she had to deal with him and prolong the call as long as possible. The leaders repeatedly told her not to provoke Mao Jie, and not to be provoked by Mao Jie. Especially Lao Pan, he knows Anxin best, knows her vulnerability, knows how big a wound Mao Jie's case has left in her heart, and knows that she loves her children and she can't lose them...... So he repeatedly warned Anxin that if you really want to save the child, you must hold him back, and the call with him must be at least five minutes or more! This is the shortest time required for a satellite search!

In the evening, Mao Jie's mobile phone was used twice, but unfortunately the time was too short, and the satellite could only roughly confirm that he was still near Nande, and did not go too far, but it was always disconnected before the specific direction and location could be tracked.

More than five minutes! Peace of mind is a little overwhelming. More than five minutes! Is it possible that she and Mao Jie are going to talk for more than five minutes? This task is almost impossible for Anxin. She and Mao Jie are no longer lovers, they are enemies who share the sky, and their call may only be one or two sentences, and then it will be the end. A word or two of mutual curses, what else could there be?

Lao Pan gave Anxin this task, and he also knew that it was difficult, so he gave specific guidance: that guy called you, there are two possibilities, first, like last time, it is to ask you out to meet him, or exchange hostages with him. Exchange his brother for a child. We've been blocking the news of his brother's death, and I don't think he knows yet. If it's about you, try to talk to him about the conditions - how to meet, when and where to meet, and talk about it clearly. If he says when and where to meet, you don't have to agree at once, you can propose another time and place. We'll discuss where to wait for a while, and try to go to the outskirts to find the kind of place where it's convenient to hide the team. In addition, the other conditions and details of the exchange, such as the method and steps of the exchange, are discussed as carefully as possible. In addition, you can ask the child how he is doing, and you can ask him how he is doing, and not to beat him and starve him. You can also tell him about his brother's situation with us, make up a few words that his brother wants him to exchange for a child, and try to make it as long as possible. Second, he may know that his brother is dead, and if he doesn't talk to you about the exchange, he just scolds you and scolds you with all kinds of ugly words. If that's the case, don't get angry, don't get excited, don't scold him, if you scold him, he will soon hang up the phone. You let him scold, and then you talk to him about the past, about your previous affairs, about your previous feelings, in detail, and about emotion. It's better to give some details, and then you ask him if he remembers any of these things. You let him see the past and return the child, don't hurt the child......

Anxin bluntly interrupted Lao Pan's meticulous guidance: "Captain, I have nothing to talk about with him!" I have no affection for him! ”

This guidance was originally very technical for Lao Pan, but he was talking eloquently, and was suddenly blocked back by Anxin's words, which caught him off guard and was stunned for a moment. He looked at An's slightly trembling face, was silent for a moment, frowned and said, "Do you still want to save the child?" ”

Anxin's face was still shaking, but he couldn't speak.

Lao Pan's attitude became even more severe: "I am now a warrior when you are a warrior, and I am giving you an account!" I'm telling you what you should do to get this done! If you can't control your emotions and can't complete this task, you tell me, you tell me that you are no longer an anti-narcotics policeman, you can't do this errand, huh? Can you do it? Yes?! ”

Lao Pan was already asking loudly, and the comrades around him were stunned, all looking at them, and even the deputy director of the city bureau stopped to look at them when he was talking to other cadres. Anxin burst into tears, but she insisted on not letting it flow, she said, "...... Well done! ”

Lao Pan stared at her eyes for a while before continuing to speak: "Okay, then let's move on......"

Lao Pan explained some methods to her, and on the question of where it would be more appropriate for Mao Jie to exchange hostages, he asked several other comrades to study it with Anxin. Then he went to the side and talked to the deputy director of the city bureau. Anxin listened intermittently as they analyzed the case. They analyze that the child is still alive. If Mao Jie wanted to kill the child, he would have killed him at the scene, so the small child could be killed if he was given it casually, and he would have to be taken away if he didn't commit it. He took the child away at that time, probably because he was afraid that he would run away with peace of mind, and then use the child to transfer her out...... They analyzed that the deputy director of the city bureau suddenly asked such a question: Does this guy know that the child is actually his own? When the deputy director asked this, he obviously deliberately lowered his voice because of Anxin's side, but Anxin still heard it. She flickered in her heart, and she didn't know where she was burned by the fire, and it hurt as if she had been burned. She didn't have the heart to listen to the discussion of the location of the handover by a few comrades around her, she listened to the deputy director and Captain Pan and Captain Wu discussing the case, but the topic had changed and no longer involved children. They are lamenting that the reason why there has been a lack of progress in this case, and the reason why Mao Jie and Mao Fang have not been able to find it, is that the intelligence sources cannot keep up. Nande is close to the Golden Triangle, the drug-producing area, and most of the drug cases in Nande are organized crimes, and very few of the self-employed people who engage in drug trafficking and transportation in Nande are self-employed on their own, and basically have ties with drug trafficking organizations at home and abroad. Therefore, anti-narcotics work is very difficult to carry out without intelligence support, and investigation work without intelligence is too difficult. Not only is the ability to discover poor, but even if it is discovered, it cannot be controlled, and it can only be found who catches whom, and it is difficult to expand the results of the battle. Therefore, the deputy director said that he had been holding a meeting of the Yunnan Provincial Public Security Department two days ago to study this matter, and the provincial department demanded that we still make great efforts to emancipate our minds and extend our intelligence tentacles to drug trafficking organizations as soon as possible. As soon as possible, we should connect our intelligence bases into a network, expand the network, and make it solid. You can't always have a few old sources of intelligence, always going around on the periphery......

It was talked about until late at night, and everyone was sleepy. During this period, there was a constant sound of telephones, whether it was a mobile phone or a desktop machine, it rang non-stop. However, the phone that Anxin guarded, the phone that Mao Jie knew the number, never rang. After late at night, the conference room was quiet, and the deputy director was arranged by Lao Pan and the others to rest in the next room, and the other comrades also fell asleep on the table and leaned on their chairs. I sat down at the phone and didn't sleep. How could she possibly sleep! Lao Pan didn't sleep, and neither did the newcomer Captain Wu, the two of them sat on the other side of the conference table and smoked, whispering something.

When the day dawned, I watched as the color on the window gradually changed from dark to light, gradually white, red, and white. The people who slept got up, some went to the toilet conveniently, some went to wet the towel to wipe their faces, and some stretched out in place...... Lao Pan asked someone to buy breakfast for the deputy director of the city bureau, and there was a little chaos in the conference room for a while. At this time, the phone, which had been quiet all night and was ignored by everyone at this time, suddenly rang: bell——! The sound was sharp and piercing, causing everyone to stop moving, and the conference room suddenly became silent!

The phone rang again: bell——!

Lao Pan was closest to the phone, he walked over and calmly picked up the phone: "Hey, anti-drug brigade." ”

Everyone looked at Lao Pan.

Lao Pan removed the receiver of the phone from his ear and handed it to Anxin. He looked at Anxin solemnly, and just handed her the microphone, not even a soft whisper and a simple hint anymore.

Peace of mind knows that on the other end of the phone, it is Mao Jie.

Anxin also knew that next to Mao Jie, it was her son Xiaoxiong.

Anxin took the phone.

She said, "Hey. ”

The other party was gasping for breath and did not answer immediately.

She said, "Hey. ”

The other party opened his mouth, of course, he could hear it with peace of mind, it was Mao Jie! Mao Jie's voice is very special, slightly hoarse. When she first met Mao Jie, she thought that this slightly hoarse voice was very manly, very sexy, and very tasteful. And now that it sounds, that half-hoarse voice only makes people feel horrified and weird.

Mao Jie said: "Peace of mind? ”

Anxin said, "Where is the child?" ”

Mao Jie didn't mention the child, but asked, "Do you miss me?" ”

Anxin amplified his voice: "Where is the child?" ”

Mao Jie paused, and then asked, "Where is my brother?" ”

Anxin said: "With us, we can exchange with you, you return the child to me, and we will return your brother to you." ”

Mao Jie said: "You call my brother to listen to the phone." ”

Anxin said, "You let me listen to the child's voice." ”

Mao Jie suddenly changed his tone, he didn't seem to be willing to pretend to be calm anymore, he exposed all the hatred and resentment in his heart in his gritted teeth.

"You stinking slut, are you still qualified to negotiate terms with me? You forgot that you owe me a human life! I'll kill your son to level it out! If my brother dies, you owe me another life! You always owe me! ”

This killing word made Anxin's tone unbalanced, she was a little hurried, a little incoherent:

“…… I, we'll trade with you! I'll go alone, I'll take your brother to change with you, it's your brother who asked you to change! Where do you say, I'll go! ”

Mao Jie paused, and his tone was a little cynical again: "Do you still want to be at the gate of Ruixin Department Store?" That's our old place. ”

"Ruixin Department Store, okay, no problem, I'll go, I'll talk to you in person!"

"You're alone?"

"Yes, I'm alone!"

"Last time you said you were alone, are you alone? So many plainclothes and so many armed police officers went that day! Good fellow, it looks like you really wanted my life that day! You stinking slut! I knew I wouldn't be able to believe your words, and even the court wouldn't believe you! ”

"This time I promise someone, I promise you!"

"What guarantees do you have?"

"You can take whatever you want me to take, you just want me to take my life as a guarantee, it's okay!"

"Your life, I'm going to take it sooner or later, you just wait slowly!"

"You can take my life, don't hurt the child! If you dare to touch a single hair of your child, we will take your brother's life! Don't you want your brother back? ”

Mao Jie paused again, and Captain Pan and Captain Wu, who were listening on the string with headphones on their heads, and the deputy director who was called from next door, all looked at their watches silently. When they saw Mao Jie's voice stopped, they all became nervous, and they didn't know if Mao Jie's side suddenly broke the line.

There was silence on the phone for a while, and finally Mao Jie's voice came again: "Okay, you want to change with me, I agree, you let my brother go first, he knows how to find me." When I see him, I will naturally return the child to you. ”

Anxin said: "We exchange at the same time, you set a place, we exchange at the same time." ”

Mao Jie sneered: "You bad woman, you have always regarded me as a fool." From the first day you met me, you treated me like a fool and deceived me as much as you wanted, right? I know that my brother is dead, and I will exchange the corpse with you, and you still lie to me! Just because you're still lying to me now, I should have wiped out your son, do you think I'm going to raise this little thing for the rest of my life? ”

Anxin was anxious, and her voice almost brought out a crying voice: "Mao Jie, I beg you, you let the child go, I beg you, the child is not at fault!" If you have what it takes, come to me! Don't toss the child! ”

Mao Jie laughed: "I don't have the ability, I can't find you, I have to take your son under the knife." Oh, you're scared, aren't you? You also have to be scared of this day! I know that the child is not at fault, so let him be unlucky for your fault. Your fault is too great! It's too big! Mao Jie's voice paused again, and his voice suddenly brought out some choked words, "You killed my father, killed my mother, killed my brother, and killed me!" You know that I am a dutiful person, and I can't stand watching my biological parents die! I thought you didn't understand this, but now it seems that you don't understand, and you will feel sorry if your own son dies! Then I should make you feel distressed once, taste this taste, and then we will be leveled. I really pity this child, who made him your son......"

An Xin suddenly hissed and interrupted Mao Jie: "He is also your son!" …… Let me tell you Mao Jie, that child is your own son......"

Anxin tears rolled out, all the grievances and grievances in her life can indeed be concentrated on this child! She lost everything, leaving only this child. She couldn't cry, she said intermittently: "If you don't believe it, you can find a hospital to do an examination, and the paternity testing hospital can do it...... If you don't believe it, do it! ”

Mao Jie on the phone was silent all of a sudden. In the intermittent sobbing, Anxin heard the sound of hanging up with a click in the phone receiver. Captain Pan and Captain Wu were also in the headphones at the same time, and heard the strange sound of sluggishness and weakness when the phone hung up.

Anxin was still holding the beeping phone, just crying tears, but he couldn't cry. Someone stepped forward to take the receiver and helped her aside. The deputy director of the city bureau raised his hand to look at his watch, and before he could put down his arm, Lao Pan said:

"Three minutes and fifty-eight seconds."

The deputy director frowned: "Not enough for five minutes." ”

Everyone in the room was looking at their watches, then they looked up at each other.

The deputy director glanced at the crying peace of mind, and whispered to Captain Pan: "Let her go to rest and find a female comrade to accompany her." Then he walked towards the door of the conference room, accompanied by Captain Wu. Before he reached the door, a cadre on duty of the anti-narcotics brigade ran in from outside the door and shouted loudly as soon as he entered the house:

"Mao Jie has found it! It's on the eastern slope of Nanmeng Mountain! ”

His shout made the audience cheer up all at once! Everyone's eyes lit up!

The deputy director frowned and asked loudly: "The satellite is locked?" ”

"The Provincial Public Security Department called the phone directly, the call time is too short, and the specific location cannot be determined, but the general latitude and longitude have been measured, just north of Dongpo Town!"

The deputy director turned to look at Lao Pan and said briefly: "On the north side of Dongpo Town, you must arrive within an hour!" ”

Before Lao Pan gave the order, the anti-narcotics team members had already sorted out their weapons and walked out of the conference room one after another. The cars ready to rush had already lined up in a zigzag in the courtyard, and in an instant, the entire courtyard resounded with the roar of the car motor.

In the roar of the motor, Anxin heard the deputy director hang up the director's phone, making a report loudly, and his tone was calm and high-spirited. He reported to the director the general location where Mao Jie was found and the distance from the city of Nande. He told the director that our people had set off, and at the same time asked for instructions on whether to notify the armed police force to set up checkpoints on all roads east of Nanmeng Mountain......

The director said something on the phone and gave some instructions. As if in consideration of not easily disrupting the normal life of residents, it is requested that the armed police force should not be used as much as possible to set up checkpoints on the highway...... Anxin didn't finish listening to the deputy director's call, although the purpose of her phone call with Mao Jie was to let the satellite search for Mao Jie's location, but the news that the satellite locked Mao Jie in Dongpo Town still gave people a sudden surprise, which made her blood rush all over! She walked out of the conference room and saw Captain Pan standing in the courtyard with one hand on his waist, silently watching the armed convoy composed of more than a dozen cars, roaring out of the courtyard one after another, towards the east, towards the dazzling sun that had just turned white.

Anxin stood behind Captain Pan and said loudly: "Captain, I'm going too!" ”

Lao Pan turned his head, his gaze stopped on her face, paused for a moment, and said in a very peaceful, peaceful voice close to kindness:

"I'm no longer your captain, and you're not a police officer who can fight now, I have no right to order you, and I don't have the right to agree with you to go with them."
