Chapter 219: Covered Traces
Lou Xinglan and the others are waiting in the border city, and they are also concerned about the situation in other cities as long as they cross the border, the customs are very strict, and some trails are also temporarily installed with surveillance, and everyone who enters can be monitored.
Ye Xingzhi has been thinking about a question these days, this country has such a large land area, it is easy for Adler to escape from wherever he wants to escape abroad, is it really useful for them to guard here?
He doesn't have the slightest hope that he can catch Adler by guarding it like this, but he can't say it now to disrupt everyone's plans, so he can only watch the surveillance at any time, I hope Adler is so stupid that he is directly exposed to the surveillance.
I don't know whether to say that he was lucky or unlucky, but on the third day of their arrival in Syracuse, he really saw a trace of suspected Adler on the surveillance: "Lou team! Come and see, is this man Adler? ”
Lou Xinglan and the others hurriedly put down the matter at hand and ran over, carefully looking at the picture that was frozen by Ye Xingzhi: "This is a bit like ......" Gu Xifeng and Siyu have not seen the real Adler, they have only seen a few photos, and the judgment is not accurate His figure, they are only looking at his face from the side now.
"It's him." The only person present who had seen Adler was Lou Xinglan, and he just glanced at it and determined that the person on the image was Adler, and he knew this figure even if it turned to ashes.
"Where is this? We'll be right over. "Once confirmed, the most important thing now is to arrest.
Ye Xingzhi didn't expect that they would really block Adler here, unexpectedly, or luck was too good. He looked at the serial number on the monitor, and quickly set the location: "At a distance of less than two kilometers from us, there is an entrance to the mountain, which is usually entered by some medicine farmers and medicine collectors. ”
"How could he choose such an avenue, doesn't he know that it is easy to be exposed?" Gu Xifeng always felt that Adler was not like a person who exposed himself so easily, did he lay some traps waiting for them.
"Because he's carrying a man." Although Lou Xinglan couldn't see who the person next to Adler was, according to their existing clues, that person was Xu Yang nine times out of ten, Xu Yang had a medical history, if he went to the wasted road that no one had ever walked or almost no one had taken, then Xu Yang would probably not be able to persevere.
"Let's go, if it goes well, we can go back to Linyuan City today." Lou Xinglan picked up the thick coat on the chair and went out, followed by Si Yu and them.
"Ahem...... Xu Yang coughed twice tiredly: "I said how do you take this road, this is obviously a lot of people passing by, you are not afraid of being blocked here?" ”
Adler looked at him with a frown: "Are you okay?" Where is this? If it weren't for you, how could I have taken this road, but you don't have to worry, this road has been cleared by someone, and no one will be met, even if someone comes to block me, I can make them consciously go back and forth. ”
Xu Yang smiled: "You are so confident. ”
They are also the ice and snow city they just arrived today, Xu Yang has not yet breathed a sigh of relief, he was dragged up the mountain by Adler, the road on the snow mountain is more and more difficult to walk, he didn't bring anything, just wearing a heavy military coat already made him feel like he was walking with weight.
Adler didn't bring anything with him, just a few boxes of nutrients in a backpack, and he said he had arranged for someone to leave a mark along the way, and supplies were placed in those places. Xu Yang always feels unreliable, what if they go the wrong way and can't find it? Or what if you get eaten by a beast? The more I think about it, the more likely it becomes.
Adler looked at his somewhat pale face and was a little worried: "After walking for so long, haven't you felt a little temperature?" ”
"No, it's still cold." Xu Yang shook his head.
Adler looked ahead of him, and according to the satellite map he had sent from his men, it was close to the first supply point, and they only needed to walk forward for another hour to get there.
He walked up to Xu Yang and squatted down: "Come up, I'll carry you for a while." ”
Xu Yang was stunned for a moment and smiled, and pulled him up: "No, it's not to that point yet, you can just drag me for a while." ”
Adler looked at him suspiciously: "Is it really okay?" ”
"Really." Xu Yang nodded seriously.
"Okay then." Adler and he walked forward holding hands through gloves, and after a while, Xu Yang felt the temperature from Adler's hand, which was very warm.
As he walked, Xu Yang inadvertently looked back and saw that the footprints of the two of them were clearly imprinted on the snow, and such footprints were easy to see.
"Doesn't it matter if the ground is full of footprints?" Xu Yang asked Adler.
"Don't worry about that, you see the sun is shining now, the snow is melting, but it will snow again in the afternoon or evening, and then the new snow will completely cover our footprints." Adler explained to him in detail.
"How do you know it's going to snow at night, and if it doesn't?" Xu Yang has now incarnated into 100,000 whys.
Adler was not impatient but answered: "It has always been like this here, there is no exception for a day, such a high probability event, I don't believe that one day it will suddenly change, if it really changes, then we are unlucky." ”
"Well, well, then we can only hope that we are not that exception."
After Adler and Xu Yang entered the mountain, many people suddenly appeared on the avenue outside, and they all followed Adler's route into the mountain, and then scattered as they walked, and the footprints on the ground instantly became messy.
So when Lou Xinglan and the others arrived at the scene, they saw footprints all over the ground: "What's wrong?" Is there anyone gathering here to fight? Look at this footprint. Ye Xingzhi couldn't believe his eyes.
He has been staring at the surveillance for the past few days, and he has never seen when or which day there are so many people concentrated. When you appear in this one place.
Lou Xinglan frowned deeply: "Let's take a look at the monitoring first." ”
"Okay." Si Yu responded, and quickly moved the computer in the car out and transferred it to the monitoring of this location: "These footprints should be ten minutes before we arrived here, and the people in here are all locals, it seems that they are." ”
Lou Xinglan and Ye Xingzhi looked at it and felt that there was little hope of finding Adler today, and most of their hearts were cold in an instant: "Those people haven't come out yet, let's go inside first, and ask someone when we meet them." ”
"Hmm." Si Yu put away the computer and followed them all the way into the mountain, although there was little hope, but it was better to try, than to wait here and do nothing.
Unexpectedly, they just walked in less than twenty minutes before they saw someone coming down the mountain, and Si Yu stopped a fellow: "Brother, why are you so many people going into the mountain today?" ”
The fellow looked at them suspiciously, probably thinking that they didn't look like people with bad intentions, so he said the purpose of their entry into the mountain: "Today, a medicine merchant came to our village, and he said that he wanted to buy Qingji grass, a hundred yuan a catty!" This kind of stuff was everywhere, and it didn't have any value at all, and we didn't know what he bought it for, but the price was very attractive, so we all went into the mountains to pick it. ”
"What is that guy like?" Si Yu frowned, feeling that they were designed.
"What's wrong? What do you want to ask? The fellow looked at them with vigilance.
Lou Xinglan directly showed his testimony: "We are from the police, and we are now tracking down a suspect in a case, and that person is very likely to be related to the person who asked you to come out to pick this thing, and you have to tell us the truth about him." ”
The fellows were stunned for a moment when they saw their police ID cards, and then immediately became serious: "Officer, that person is very young, good-looking, a man, anyway, he is better looking than the people in our village, but he doesn't like to laugh very much, so people can't get close." ”
Lou Xinglan and the others thought about it, and felt that they really didn't have this person in their memory: "Siyu, Xifeng, you follow this fellow back to see who this pharmacist is, and I will go up the mountain with Team Ye to have a look." ”
"Okay." Si Yu and Gu Xifeng nodded and followed the villagers down the mountain.
Lou Xinglan and Ye Xingzhi walked up for a long time, and met many fellows who went down the mountain on the way, and they were not much different from the first fellow they met before.
"Which way is this going?" Lou Xinglan and Ye Xingzhi looked at a fork in the road in front of them and were stunned, there are footprints over here, there are quite a few, how to judge.
Lou Xinglan raised his head and looked at the snow mountain, then looked at the road in front of him and pointed to a road on the right: "Go this way, this road seems to be the one that can climb over the snow mountain." ”
"How do you know?" Ye Xingzhi asked, although he doubted his professionalism, but he still followed behind.
"Sometimes, you need to look at the big picture." Lou Xinglan said extraordinarily profoundly.
"......" Ye Xingzhi didn't want to talk to him anymore, at least not now.
What left them speechless happened again, and within a few minutes they came to a fork in the road again: "What about this time?" Captain Lou. ”
There were too many footprints on the ground, even if the police dog was brought over, it would probably be enough to choke, and they didn't have time to lead it now.
Lou Xinglan sighed silently in his heart: "Just pick one." ”
So they both walked casually, but whenever they came to a fork in the road, they went as they pleased, and at last they came to the end, and they came to a place where no one had set foot at all, and this was luck, but no one could go to such a place.
The two looked at each other, and Ye Xingzhi hesitated for a while and suggested, "Why don't you ...... Shall we go back first? ”
Lou Xinglan frowned, and wanted to go back to find it, but the sky had already darkened, and if he didn't go down the mountain, he might have to spend it on the mountain tonight, and someone would come to help them collect the body tomorrow morning, and the cause of death was freezing to death.
"Let's go." Lou Xinglan and Ye Xingzhi went down the mountain together, and it was already raining in the sky, and it was estimated that it would be a snowstorm after a while.
"This Adler is really thoughtful." Ye Xingzhi had to sigh at Adler's plan.
No wonder they would venture across the border from here, no one would be able to catch up with him, it would snow at night, and it would be too easy to cover their tracks.
Lou Xinglan and Ye Xingzhi finally returned to the city when it was completely dark, otherwise they would have become a live-action version of the snowman, with snowflakes and a thick layer all over their bodies.
