Chapter 61: The Moment of Chase
Before the car hit the fence gate, Gu Tie was still admiring the bearded driving level. The car had been walking through the narrow and winding underground roadway for so long, the rearview mirror had not once rubbed sparks with the wall, and the chassis was as stable as a tram. "Ed, stop, there is someone in front!" While shouting these words, Gu Tie knew that the guy next to him had no intention of stopping at all, because the car not only did not slow down, but made a low refueling sound, and the engine speed increased rapidly, what the Chinese can do is to make standard self-protection actions: hold your head with both hands, bend your body, and curl up like a big shrimp.
"Bang dang!"
The front bumper of the sedan slammed into the steel fence, and the gate flew into the sky along with the two men next to the door. The powerful impact force caused Gu Tie's ass to leave his seat, and his elbow slammed on the dashboard, "...... It's time for the airbag to explode, pay attention to your posture and don't collapse your face...... Didn't explode?This broken car doesn't even have airbags?" Gu Tie's mind was spinning quickly.
"Boom!" the wheels of the car hit the ground heavily, pushing open the two twisted iron fences and continuing to accelerate, the front wheels let out a piercing squeak, the tires rubbed against the ground and scorched green smoke, Ed refueled and downshifted, and quickly turned the steering wheel, the car rushed between the two men whose fate was unknown, and drove into a desolate reed with no road at all.
Gu Tie was torn apart, grabbed the handrail above his head with both hands and complained: "What are you doing, Lao Ai, why don't you stop? If it's an enemy, just take care of it, why use such violent means?"
The bearded man turned his head to look at him, revealing a non-serious smile: "At this speed, they can't die." See their uniforms? Those two men are police officers. β
"It's logical to hit the police?" Gu Tie was angry.
"You look back. "Above the sewer fence is Route 87, the main intercontinental from Bialystok, where they are squatting in search of suspects, and if you guess correctly, there are more police and makeshift roadblocks on the road." β
Gu Tie turned around and lay on the headrest, looking through the rear windshield of the car, and sure enough, as Ed said, above the semicircular sewer mouth was a wide road, and the police lights on the road were flashing, and I don't know how many policemen were jumping off the roadbed in a hurry, rushing in this direction. There were countless flashes of sharp knife tips on the road, "Oh, 'dog teeth'!" Gu Tie felt a little surprised. Polish police have used expensive hydraulically lifted anti-terrorist barricades, a high-tech barricade called a dogtooth that automatically identifies vehicle information, spares civilian cars, and uses 144 half-meter-long hydraulic steel nails to tie the speeding target vehicle into a sieve along with the criminals inside. In general, except for the most egregious serial murderers, the police will not easily use such equipment.
"Old Ai. Gu Tie turned around and looked at the driver with a smile: "This is a big formation, I don't know what the 'Red Owl Brotherhood' has done, in short, you have become a sweetheart, I don't believe you turn on the radio, you must be talking about you at this time." β
"Hmph. The bearded man blew out of his nostrils, "It's been a long time since I've been so noticed." It's not bad to be back on stage. β
The car rampaged through the endless reeds, and Ed reached out to twist the car radio, and a series of Polish words gushed out, and Gu Tie was confused for a while. "You're right. Ed listened and laughed: "They are looking for a guy named Ed Yasinski, a ranger in Bialystok Forest Park, who is said to be the first suspect in a murder case, suspected of brutally killing four foreign citizens, this person is currently at large, carrying a weapon, very dangerous, if you have any clues, please contact the police immediately." β
Gu Tie smiled: "Is there a bonus if you report it?"
The bearded man replied: "Not half a zloty." β
The Chinese chirped: "Bah, stingy ghost, then let you go for the time being." β
Ed patted his chest: "Scared the hell out of me, I thought I was going to take out the check you gave me to bribe you." β
Gu Tie happily lay on the seat, reached out and took out a cigarette and a lighter from Ed's pocket, lit a Zhongnanhai, took a deep puff, rolled down the window, and spit out a smoke ring: "I don't even have a power window, I'm really convinced of your car...... Anyway, old Ai, do you know where you're going now?"
"Run for your life. The bearded man replied frankly, "The police are catching up, and their off-road vehicles are fast." β
Gu Tie broke the exterior mirror, and sure enough, he saw the police lights flashing in the reeds behind him. The siren sounded, and someone shouted through a loudspeaker, without Ed's translation, Gu Tie could guess that it was "You have been surrounded by us, immediately lay down your arms and surrender, don't try to confront the party and the government, stubborn resistance is only a dead end" and other clichΓ©s.
"Now your car is completely exposed. Gu Tie pointed to his temple: "Soon the helicopter will lock you in the air, and no matter where you flee, there will be a bunch of cameras staring at your ass tightly until your fuel tank is empty, you are shot in the head by a sniper, or you can make the 'canine teeth' barricade become a hedgehog." Do you want my help, old Ai? Out of the long-standing friendship between the Chinese and Polish peoples, I can use my methods to save your ass that is about to suffer. β
Ed frowned and stared at him, "Are you saying I can't escape these moths? β
"Look at the road, look at the road. Gu Tie pointed ahead: "I'm not a pessimist, but there is really no future if I run like this." β
The car shook violently, and the two of them drove onto a country road, and after a few seconds, three police SUVs with sirens jumped onto the road, Gu Tie secretly glanced at it, the Polish police are equipped with the latest model of Toyota hydrogen-powered all-terrain four-wheel drive SUV, from the top speed, handling and off-road ability, more than one grade higher than the small broken car of unknown brand that he was riding.
"So...... Do you want to make a bet?" Ed glanced at Gu Tie, "Just bet on whether I can escape the police without the help of anyone." β
"Interesting!" Gu Tie's eyes lit up and he sat up straight, "What's the bet?"
The bearded man looked ahead and said in a deep voice: "If I lose, I will work hard for you for a year, no matter where you go or what you do, I will do my best to help you." If I win......"
Gu Tie stretched out a finger and pointed it at the tip of his nose: "If you win, I will help you achieve the great cause of restoring the country and help the government-in-exile regain power in Poland." ...... Do you really believe I can do it?"
Ed nodded solemnly: "From the first time I saw you, I felt that you were not a simple tourist. The more I know you, the more I find it difficult for you to understand, and anyway, I think you have abilities that I couldn't have imagined. Well, our bet ......"
"Effective!" Gu Tie stretched out his right hand without hesitation and high-fived the bearded man.
The sound of a tweeter was deafening, and a Toyota SUV accelerated sharply, emitting a high-frequency noise characteristic of a hydrogen-powered engine, and seconds later it was parallel to Ed's car. The policeman in the passenger seat lowered the window, pointed the muzzle of the black hole at the beard, and shouted loudly. "Surrender leniently, resist strictly, if you don't pull over, Lao Tzu will shoot!" Gu Tie buckled his seat belt while interpreting in unison with his lip sync.
"You guessed it right. Ed praised it, slammed his right foot on the brakes, the car slowed down violently, and Gu Tie was strangled on the seat by the seat belt, thinking that he had watched a lot of police movies and knew how to protect himself in the car chase.
The two SUVs behind made natural dodge movements in a hurry, one left and one right crossed by the window, Ed stepped on the clutch, slammed the handbrake, the steering wheel hit the end, and the car tires drew two black brake marks on the asphalt road, "Oops!" Gu Tie's head slammed on the B-pillar of the car, and the car made a beautiful 180-degree U-turn, the beard blasted gas, downshifted, released the handbrake, and loosened the clutch, the engine roared and dragged the body, and the sedan did not stop for a moment, and smoothly turned around and drove in the opposite direction.
Seeing three clumsy off-road vehicles being left behind in the rearview mirror, Gu Tie rubbed his head and praised: "Good driving skills! The people who can drive manual transmission cars these years are all masters, and there are almost no manual transmission courses in driving schools." β
The bearded man gave him a defiant look: "How is it? Do you still have faith in those moths in police uniforms?"
"Cut, it's still early. It's not me who speaks for the police, but now that GTC has helped build the C3I system (command, control, communication, intelligence) system all over the world, the life of criminals is getting more and more difficult. Brother Chu, who swaggered in front of the police like you, is just a lump of fat to be slaughtered, so I'll sit here and wait for the moment you beg me to make a move. Gu Tie raised his hand to put down the visor and found a comfortable position to sit down.
Ed slammed the steering wheel angrily: "I'll let you see what thundering light is today!"
The car turned around and drove off the road again, speeding down a small village road paved with loess, and several scarecrows in bright clothes dotted with green wheat fields on both sides of the dirt road, and a peasant woman looked up from the field and watched in amazement as the car dragged a loess rolling tail and drove quickly.
"The idea is good. Gu Tie shook his head, "I bet that at the end of this road, the village police have already received information and are laying temporary barricades." If you don't want to be forced to stop, I suggest you take out your heavy weapons now and blast that big-bellied middle-aged cop away with one shot. β
The bearded man drove the vehicle with a serious expression and ignored him. Ten minutes later, as the car approached a small village, a scribbled barricade with barrels and wooden crates had been piled up at the intersection, and a middle-aged policeman with a big belly armed with a revolver stood behind a box of apples and aimed at them with trepidation.
Ed's eyes widened, "How did you guess?...... Middle-aged man with a big belly,...... It can't be!"
