Chapter 47: Catching a Thief in the Middle of the Night
In a certain picture book, someone said to a hero that things are man-made. The hero came to realize: Who said that you can't take your wife to the rivers and lakes? So he took his wife and led the camel away from the rivers and lakes.
And the big waist realized: Who said that you can't take your brother to catch a thief?
But obviously they can't let their leaders know about this matter, but the people who drove were also people who got along well with him, and besides, it was correct in principle for the masses to help the officials catch the thieves, and even if there was any problem, his father could solve it with a word.
Before getting into the car, he asked me with a serious face: "Have you thought about it, this is not a joke, it is really dangerous."
I said, "What am I afraid of, you can rest assured."
"Then you remember, follow me for a while, don't run around."
"Okay, no problem." After that, we got into the car together. In order not to be accidentally injured at that time, I wore a set of "clothes" with a large waist, but it was worn during the plainclothes operation, which was not so formal, but most of the people who went there tonight could recognize it.
He said that it is illegal for idle people to wear yamen uniforms, and it is a last resort for me today. Because it is a group of people from several police stations acting together, it is inevitable that there will be faces, so as long as you wear your own people's clothes and confirm that you are not an enemy.
I don't know why I wanted to come with him on a whim, maybe I thought it was a lot of fun, or maybe I thought I could help him? Big Waist refused at first because it was too dangerous, but then thinking about the tacit cooperation between us, he agreed to let me "experience life again." ”
I sat in the car, looked at the traffic in the urban area of City A, and sighed that it was still comfortable to live in the city. The heart said that it was good that we drank rice wine just now, and we were not drunk, otherwise it would be troublesome if it was white on the hour at night.
After driving for a while, there were no cars on the road outside, and the oil lamp that pointed the way only came out every once in a while, which must have entered the countryside.
We continued to drive the carriage, and soon we came to a large courtyard where many people were standing. I'm not stupid, when I saw that this pomp and circumstance was a temporary headquarters, the big waist asked me and my brother who was driving to stay here and report on it myself.
The official surnamed Wang who drove the car was late, and the big waist entered the yamen late, and he was even late, so the big waist called him Xiao Wang. The two of us chattered for a while, and then he came back and brought us a "guy".
"Come, your family will take the yamen stick, and I will take this." As he spoke, he pinned the firearm into his waist.
"Isn't it, and firearms?"
"Do you think the thief will stand up and catch you? It's too late to hide in the car now, how can you say it? ”
I shook my head: "There are so many people, I'm a fart." Besides, it's not that he hasn't been hit by a firearm. I regretted it after saying this, and I even felt the change in Xiao Wang's eyes next to me.
"That's good. Actually, it's nothing, sometimes the firearm is mainly to scare the thief, we have good security here, the thief will not have a firearm in his hand, you will not have a problem following me. ”
I looked around, I am afraid that there are not 100 but 80 people who came today, this battle is really not small, I asked him, "Are you going to arrest a tomb robber gang today?" So many people? ”
"That's right, this group has been wandering around in S Province for a long time, but I didn't expect to be noticed by the masses today. It's all arranged, and you can just follow me when you move in a while. ”
Not long after, several squads were dispatched, and I followed the big waist and the small troops, and under the cover of night, marched in one direction outside the village.
We walked and ran, stepping on the weeds around the big trees, going deeper and deeper, and around a few small hills, I was a little tired and gasped, but no one in the team spoke, so naturally I didn't dare to speak.
I don't know how long I went, I really couldn't run, the one who took the lead suddenly signaled to slow down, and then everyone in the team half-squatted down, and I reacted quickly, so I quickly followed suit. I looked ahead, but I saw nothing.
Then, the people began to disperse, a few left and a few on the right, and I followed the big waist and walked together to a hidden place - behind a large tree.
He relaxed a little, and even though it was dark, I saw him smile and show his teeth, and whispered to me, "You're not in good shape right now."
I took a quick breath and didn't have time to talk to him.
After a while, we saw a group of people coming from the other direction, slowly dispersed, and I said in my heart that if it was really round, the encirclement was already so dense, it seemed that this time we were determined to arrest it.
I looked into the middle of the encirclement, and the grave robbers were supposed to be inside, but no matter how much I searched, I didn't see any light, so it wouldn't be a problem, right? This range is not large, is it possible that adults have already gone down?
Soon, the big waist pulled me: "Don't be in a daze, let's go!"
I realized that they were all moving forward, and I quickly followed him, slowly touching forward.
It is indeed not easy to act collectively, the officials are all trained and interesting, and narrowing the encirclement in this environment requires that the difference between the speed and slowness of everyone is not too large, and no one can go on a business trip, and if it is exposed in advance, the ambush will be completely in vain.
As I walked forward, I carefully examined the light around me, but I didn't notice anything, only the encirclement was getting smaller and smaller, and the people around me were getting closer and closer, from only one silhouette to a distance where I could see the face.
I was even more suspicious in my heart, there was not even movement around, there were really tomb robbers?
However, in an instant, something in front of my eyes emitted a lightning-like white light, and my eyes adapted to the darkness suddenly, and my whole body lost my balance, and in a trance I felt the big waist in front of me pull me hard, and I fell to the ground.
I quietly calmed down a bit, my eyes were like I was blind, but I heard the sound of firearms all around. I know no, this must have happened. That thing just now, could it be some kind of special dazzling bullet? If you are so caught off guard, you must have lost it from the other side!
My mind was still in a mess, and I only heard Big Waist ask me, "How are you, are you okay?"
I replied loudly, "It's fine!" It's all fired, no one should care about my shouting, right?
He dragged me upright, I was already a lot more awake, I could see his dark shadow, and I wanted to get up, but he grabbed me from the side: "Don't move, these people have weapons, you lie here first!"
Saying that, he quickly found a tree to cover himself and joined the firearms battle. I quickly closed my eyes and rubbed them, and at this point I couldn't see anything was equivalent to this waste.
I only heard the sound of firearms still intensifying, and it seemed that more people had joined the firearms war, but they were all single "bang, bang, bang", it seems that the weapons of these people are also firearms.
I opened my eyes to see the big waist, and he was shooting in one direction with a firearm, and I looked in that direction again, and I couldn't see anything but a few special oil lamps with a spotlight cover.
So I continued to close my eyes and regain my sight, until I felt that my eyes were more normal, and when I opened my eyes, I saw several people in front of me rushing in our direction, and the silhouette of the clothes was not a servant at first glance.
At this time, in order to avoid accidental injury, there were no more people behind to fire their firearms, only to hear people around shouting to arrest people, and you can see that the surrounding officials are also gathering in this direction.
I knew it was a tomb robber gang, and I didn't know if the bullets were out or what, so I rushed out desperately. And they are not stupid, although the direction is roughly the same, but they keep a certain distance, this distance looks very scientific, one person can run if he is caught alone, or he can help each other when he encounters one or two obstacles.
One of these people was impartial, and rushed in my direction, I wanted to get up, and I said that I don't need to do it now, you are also unlucky enough to meet you Uncle Zhou.
Sure enough, he probably didn't expect that there was one lying here, the big waist looked at me and didn't move, and he squatted behind the tree and didn't move, he should understand what I meant.
The guy quickly ran up to me, and I saw the right moment to fly up and kick him in the crotch, and the strength of his running forward combined with the strength of my kick made the whole person collapse to the ground.
But what I didn't expect was that there was a guy next to me who was also sprinting and saw someone falling, actually slowed down, and then turned around and rushed towards me, and seemed to be holding a weapon in his hand, I panicked, because I was not good at fighting, this distance was not a few steps to my side, I hurriedly picked up the yamen stick with a nervously trembling hand, and was trying to block, when I heard a sudden firearm sound not far from me, and the man fell to the ground in response, and I even felt a few drops of blood sprayed on my face.
No need to ask, it must have been a firearm fired by a big waist.
At this time, in addition to this firearm, there was one lying on the ground, and one that had been pressed, and all I could see was running into the distance. A few people in the vicinity were pressed on the man, and the next two grabbed the one who was kicked in the crotch, and at this time there was no one else around to chase the guy, only me and the big waist were empty. He seemed to recognize the problem faster than I did, and without saying a word, he hurried after him.
I just wanted to call him, it's too dangerous to chase him alone, but when I think about it, I can't shout at this time, it's the duty of the officials to catch thieves, and I got it, so I let it go.
So I took the yamen stick and chased him out, it was late at night, I didn't know if he could see the tomb robber in front of me, I could only see his back, although he was very tired but couldn't stop, anyway, if you fight four fists is better than one person.
Just ran and ran, I don't know how long I chased it, the soles of my feet were about to pump, and people were out of breath, and they were about to be thrown off by the big waist in front, almost on the edge of persistence and abandonment, when they couldn't struggle, the big waist in front suddenly stopped.
