Chapter 97: Foggy
(October 11) countdown to the 80th day
"Captain?"
Xiao Feng gradually came to his senses, and Liu Qing's voice came from his ears. He opened his eyes with great effort, and what he saw was Liu Qing, Cheng Zhiyuan, and Huang Xuan's three familiar faces.
"Team Xiao, you're finally awake." Liu Qing's eyes were wet, and she almost cried with joy.
"What am I?" Xiao Feng was a little confused.
"Don't remember? In the arsenal, you're just about to step through the door and there is an explosion, and then ...... And it fell. Cheng Zhiyuan hurriedly said.
"It's not a big deal, it's just that the face is broken, it's not serious." Huang Xuan gestured at the mark of the scar on the right side of his face, "If you want me to say, our captain is obviously more handsome with such a small piece of gauze." ”
"Just you talk a lot." Liu Qing glanced at Huang Xuan, lowered his head and approached Xiao Feng's face, "The wound should be able to heal quickly, you should rest first." ”
"I'm fine. How long have I been in a coma? Xiao Feng looked around and found that he was still in the arsenal.
"It didn't take long, it was only half an hour." Liu Qing handed Xiao Feng a mirror, "I just bandaged you, it's lucky, it's just that the skin was broken by fragments, and there was some blood, and it will be fine in two or three days." ”
"Half an hour? What about people? Xiao Feng sat up.
"All two people in the room were killed, but one escaped. It was from the second floor that he slipped down the rope and escaped, presumably to the woods across the back door. You can rest assured that there are already support police forces with police dogs chasing after you. The scene is temporarily in charge of Officer Zhou Yangzhou. Cheng Zhiyuan said.
"How can you run away, aren't the two groups of AB guarding behind?" Xiao Feng stood up as he spoke, Liu Qing subconsciously helped him, and he waved his hand.
"The two groups of AB arrived at the predetermined position as instructed, but no one was found to have escaped." Cheng Zhiyuan said.
"Ran before we formed a siege? Did we alarm him? Xiao Feng frowned, "No, didn't he know about our actions in advance?" ”
"This possibility is extremely high, the other party took the initiative to detonate the bomb, and did not hesitate to blow up his companion, obviously after careful arrangement, and the other party walked very calmly." Cheng Zhiyuan pondered.
"Hit the ground, the woods." Xiao Feng had a hint of foreboding, his eyes stared at the trees on the opposite side, and then issued an order.
"But captain, your injuries ......," Liu Qing said anxiously.
"You're going back on your word, didn't you just say it's okay?" Xiao Feng waved his hand, "Let's go!" ”
What Xiao Feng didn't know was that almost at the same time as he led the three of them through the back door of the factory, Yao Xiaoyi also happened to sneak back to the arsenal along the outer wall on the left side of the back door.
"Team Xiao, why don't you rest for a while?" As soon as the group of four people arrived at the woods on the other side of the river, Officer Zhou Yang came up and shook Xiao Feng's hand.
"It doesn't matter. How's it going? ”
"The entire forest has been cordoned off as you previously instructed. We also found signs of people crossing the river into the woods, but no trace was lost on a small hill ahead. ”
"Where's the police dog?"
"That's where it's weird, the police dogs have lost their bearings."
"The blockade continued, and an intensive search began at dawn. We went out of the hill...... Well, follow each other's escape routes that you spotted. ”
Zhou Yang led the way, and several people immediately marched towards the hillside.
"That's where the dog lost its tracking." Climbing to the top of the mountain, Zhou Yang drew a circle around the top of the mountain with his finger, "There is no doubt that something happened here, and the scene has obviously been cleaned up." ”
"Where is it?" Xiao Feng pointed to a fresh trace behind the hillside.
"It is suspected that someone deliberately threw a stone. We searched in that direction and found no further traces. ”
Xiao Feng nodded, squatted down, closed his eyes, and took a few deep breaths.
"Chilli water! Someone used chili pepper water, disturbing the dog's sense of smell. ”
"Where did the chili water come from?" Huang Xuan interjected.
"As a weapon of self-defense, many girls carry it with them." Liu Qing glanced at Huang Xuan.
"Mean, the other party is a woman?" Huang Xuan asked.
"How can you jump to conclusions so easily? Who said you can't bring a man? Liu Qing gave Huang Xuan another roll of the eyes, the task force has such a budding newcomer, it is really angry and cola.
"It seems that the other party has calculated that the police will track it down." Xiao Feng seemed to be talking to himself, and got up and looked into the distance.
The time had passed the darkest hour before dawn, the fog was slowly spreading, the morning light was about to emerge, and the treetops in the distance were gradually becoming clear and faintly visible.
"How could it be here? We entered the woods from that location, right? Xiao Feng looked at the top of the mountain again, pointed to the river bank in the distance, and asked Zhou Yang.
"Exactly...... Well, no, we were chasing almost in a straight line along the vertical course, and we found quite a few broken branches along the way, so it stands to reason that we should be in that direction. Zhou Yang drew a line out of thin air with his fingers, extending to the right front of the hillside where he was located.
"And now, we're in this position? Obviously, the other party deliberately changed the route, it should be a turnaround in front and took an inverted V route. Xiao Feng drew a V out of thin air, and then stopped at the location of the hillside, "You mean, there are also broken branches found along the way?" This is more revealing. Judging from the deliberate cleaning of the scene and the use of chili pepper water, how can the other party be cautious enough, how can he accidentally break the branches and leave obvious marks? ”
"Deliberately directing us in a straight line to disguise the true escape route?" Zhou Yang asked rhetorically.
"There are doubts. If the other party is turning back in a V-shaped route and wants to hit the police by surprise, why did they deviate from the direction when passing by here? Xiao Feng pointed to the front of the hillside, "According to the straight line of switchback, the other party should not reach the hillside in front of you, which will save more time." ”
"Will the other party get lost? Climb to the top of the mountain to confirm the direction? Huang Xuan couldn't hold back, and interjected again, not forgetting to glance at Liu Qing.
Liu Qing still rewarded him with a roll of the eyes.
"I'd rather believe that something happened. The question is, the other party knew that there were pursuers behind him, but what accident made him deviate from the predetermined route and even stop? Xiao Feng frowned, and looked around the treetops to look at the river in the distance.
The river is covered with thick fog, and the suburbs finally usher in the dawn, while the fog of the case is getting deeper and deeper.
Half an hour later, a dragnet search was carried out, and the police dogs were asked to investigate again along the riverbank...... Well, I'll walk around alone. Xiao Feng finally withdrew his gaze, shook hands with Zhou Yang, rushed down the hillside, and hurried towards the river bank according to the V-shaped extension line.
"It's rare to see Team Xiao so lost." It took a long time for Liu Qing to say this.
