Chapter 18: The Killer in the Square
Chen Weibin was busy in the criminal investigation detachment all morning.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Chen Weibin's mobile phone rang, and an unfamiliar mobile phone number called. Such a number should be a new number recently launched by the communications department, and Chen Weibin is wondering whether to answer or not, whether it will be to sell a house again, or recommend buying stocks. Chen Weibin thought about it and took it.
"Hey, hello!" Chen Weibin said.
"Wei Bin, I'm Gao Minghao!" When Chen Weibin heard this, he was stunned, it was Gao Minghao, executive deputy director of the Municipal Bureau.
After attending the meeting at the Municipal Bureau last time, Director Wang Zhengming of the Municipal Bureau determined that Gao Minghao was the leader of the task force, and Chen Weibin saved Gao Minghao's mobile phone number in the internal address book to his mobile phone, but the number in front of him was not Gao Minghao's number.
Chen Weibin is not sure if it is Gao Minghao, will someone pretend to be it? But he was worried that it was Gao Minghao, so he replied: "Hello Director Gao!" ”
"Wei Bin, to make a long story short, 100,000 is urgent! Immediately take the people of your criminal investigation detachment and rush to the Century Square in Zhongcheng District, someone wants to kill Tong Xiaojin! Remember, bring guns and body armor all with you! On the phone, Gao Minghao's voice seemed very urgent.
Chen Weibin is basically sure to be Gao Minghao. Who would make such a joke? Gao Minghao called himself directly, which was several levels over. No matter what the situation is, let's go. Chen Weibin immediately called Yuan Qing, informed all the criminal policemen who were in the team, brought guns and body armor, and immediately rushed to Century Square.
In the car, Chen Weibin sat in the passenger seat, wearing body armor, and dialed the phone of Tao Chunqiang, deputy director of the sub-bureau. After the phone was connected, Chen Weibin reported to Tao Chunqiang about Gao Minghao's call to him just now.
Tao Chunqiang said: "Emergencies are dealt with urgently. Director Gao called you directly, most likely to save time. Follow Director Gao's instructions immediately! I'll report to Director Fei immediately, you go first, and I'll rush over immediately. ”
"Yes! We're already on our way! After Chen Weibin finished speaking, he hung up the phone, turned back to the criminal policemen in the car and said, "Put the body armor on the innermost part, cover it with an outer coat, and don't cause panic among the masses!" ”
Gao Minghao had already rushed to Century Square first, and kept calling Tong Xiaojin, but Tong Xiaojin never answered, and Gao Minghao searched anxiously around the square. The weather is very good today, there are a lot of people in Century Square, and there are many tour groups, led by tour guides, who are sightseeing in the square.
Gao Minghao searched for a quarter of an hour, and finally, at the door of Shanggao Shopping Mall, he saw Tong Xiaojin in a white dress just coming out of the mall. At the same time, fifty meters away from Tong Xiaojin, Gao Minghao observed two men each carrying a bag, looking nervous, not like tourists or shoppers, staring at Tong Xiaojin and walking briskly in the direction where Tong Xiaojin was.
The sensitivity of the profession made Gao Minghao feel dangerous. Gao Minghao immediately ran towards Tong Xiaojin quickly, took Tong Xiaojin's hand, and quickly rushed into the mall. The two men saw Gao Minghao pulling Tong Xiaojin into the mall and quickly chased after him.
Tong Xiaojin was pulled by someone and was stunned, "Ah! The ground screamed.
"It's me, let's go! Someone is going to kill you! Why don't you answer the phone all the time? Gao Minghao said hurriedly while holding Tong Xiaojin's hand and walking briskly in the mall.
Tong Xiaojin came to her senses at this time, and when she saw that it was Gao Minghao, she replied, "Oh, it's you." I was walking around the mall and didn't hear my phone. Someone is going to kill me? Tong Xiaojin said as she followed Gao Minghao.
Gao Minghao didn't have time to answer Tong Xiaojin, dialed Chen Weibin's mobile phone, and asked, "Weibin, where have you been?" ”
"Gao Ju, we are on the way, and we are almost at Century Square."
"Good! Tong Xiaojin and I are now entering the first floor of Shanggao Shopping Mall from the square, and you can come directly to the mall. ”
"Shanggao Mall! Okay, we'll be right over! ”
"You have to pay close attention to two men, both about 1.65 meters tall, dark-skinned, one wearing a gray long-sleeved shirt and the other wearing a black shirt, both of whom are carrying a bag cross-body. Those two men are most likely the killers, and they are currently following me and Tong Xiaojin. There are many people in the shopping mall, so be careful not to injure the masses by mistake. ”
"Gao Ju, pay attention to safety! We came as fast as we could. ”
"Wei Bin, I won't hang up the phone, keep talking!" Gao Minghao held the mobile phone in his left hand, and pulled Tong Xiaojin up the escalator with his right hand to the second floor. Gao Minghao turned around and saw that the two men had reached the bottom of the escalator, and they also took the escalator and followed them up to the second floor.
Gao Minghao quickly observed the terrain and found the walking stairs next to it. Gao Minghao pulled Tong Xiaojin and went down to the first floor from the walking ladder next to him, trying to get rid of the two men. The two men saw them descend the stairs to the first floor again and accelerated their pursuit.
"We hurried out of the mall, there were too many people here, and I was afraid that innocent people would be hurt." Gao Minghao said.
"Are the latter two here to kill me?" Tong Xiaojin asked nervously.
"Quite possibly." Gao Minghao looked at Tong Xiaojin and said, "Don't be afraid, the police from the criminal investigation detachment of the sub-bureau will arrive soon." ”
Gao Minghao and Tong Xiaojin found the exit of a shopping mall, walked out quickly, and returned to the square. The two men followed to the square, and the speed of the chase increased significantly. Gao Minghao pulled Tong Xiaojin and ran up, but Tong Xiaojin was wearing high heels and couldn't get up fast.
The distance between them was only about thirty meters, and they were about to catch up. Whether they are killers or not, they must be deterred. Gao Minghao immediately grabbed Tong Xiaojin's waist with his left hand holding the mobile phone, and took out a pistol from his waist with his right hand.
When the two men saw Gao Minghao take out a pistol, they each quickly took out two pistols from their bags, and the four guns were aimed at Tong Xiaojin at the same time. In a hurry, Gao Minghao pulled the trigger and fired a shot into the sky, and with a "snap", the gunshot rang out.
At the same time, Gao Minghao yelled at the crowd: "There is danger, leave quickly!" Hearing the gunshots and Gao Minghao's roar, the people in the square ran away one after another.
As soon as Gao Minghao's gun rang out, the two men immediately began to shoot at Tong Xiaojin and Gao Minghao, and a burst of gunfire suddenly rang out in the square.
Hearing the other party's gunshots, Gao Minghao quickly hugged Tong Xiaojin, lay down on the spot, and hid on the edge of the tree pond in the square, relying on the tree pond as a cover. The dense gunfire frightened Tong Xiaojin, and Tong Xiaojin buried her head in Gao Minghao's arms.
Gao Minghao poked his head slightly out of the edge of the tree pond and fired back at the two killers. The two men also immediately crouched down, found a tree pool as cover, and shot at Gao Minghao.
Chen Weibin heard gunshots in his ears and on his mobile phone at the same time. Chen Weibin led the criminal policemen and quickly ran towards the gunfire in the square, shouting at the surrounding crowd as he ran: "Leave quickly!" ”
Chen Weibin had already seen the two killers from a distance, and immediately took out his pistol and said to the criminal police: "Surround the killers!" Be sure to shoot cautiously and pay attention to the safety of the masses! ”
"Yes!" The detectives agreed, and then dispersed, forming a fan-shaped encirclement around the two killers.
Gao Minghao and the two killers both fired a few more shots. Gao Minghao saw that they did not continue to get closer, and confronted each other. Gao Minghao was thinking, it seemed that the other party was waiting for him to finish the bullet before rushing up.
Gao Minghao observed the nearby terrain and saw that there was a roadway seven meters away next to them, which was the closest safety zone to them.
The situation is urgent! "We're going to shoot them and keep them down. When you hear my gunshot, run immediately towards the alley next to you, don't hesitate, don't look back, keep running. Gao Minghao said to Tong Xiaojin.
"Nope! I'm not going! Tong Xiaojin replied.
Gao Minghao looked at Tong Xiaojin and said, "This is not the time to be willful. The other two have four guns, and I can't deal with them alone. You go first, or we'll both die here." ”
Tong Xiaojin still said firmly: "I'm not leaving!" If you want to die, I will die with you! ”
