Chapter 33: Lockdown, Capture

In the People's Square of Ningzhou City, there has just been an explosion, and the explosion was a sub-bomb, because the police dismantled the sub-bomb in the flower pond, thus detonating the mother bomb hidden in the garbage can.

The iron sheet of the garbage bin flew directly out more than 70 meters away, and the bin bracket was blown up seven or eight meters high.

For a while, the People's Square was on fire, and thick smoke was everywhere.

Fortunately, the explosion did not cause any casualties.

This bombing is a wake-up call for all of us.

Meng Xiang, this new generation of bomb maniac, appeared in front of us with more mature bomb-making technology and more perfect bombs than his father Meng Bochao.

He will plant unexpected bombs in unexpected places, in ways we don't expect.

Even though we have tried our best to strengthen patrols and defenses in Ningzhou City without causing serious social panic, we were still caught off guard by Meng Xiang's bombs.

In any case, this explosion was a blow to our police personnel and a heavy blow.

At the same time, this bombing is also a serious setback to our self-confidence.

We believe that there is no unsolvable case in the world, and there is no criminal suspect that cannot be caught.

But Meng Xiang also believes that there is no perfect encirclement in the world, let alone absolute defense, and he will look for more loopholes to create more serious explosions.

But we can't do anything but strengthen patrols and arming and search for Meng Xiang throughout the city.

Serial bombings are not the same as serial homicides, and there is no way to predict the murderer's next move.

Just when we were collectively silent, silent, and demoralizing extremely low, there was good news from the Technical Investigation Bureau.

"We have locked down Meng Xiang's address!"

Li Meng quickly ran into the office of the Serious Crime Team and brought us a big surprise.

Lin Zifan's desk and I were opposite each other, and the two of us were sitting at our respective desks looking at each other in a daze.

After hearing Li Meng's words, we all jumped up from our chairs violently.

"Is the message accurate?!"

Lin Zifan preemptively said what I wanted to ask.

"The information is accurate, and according to the monitoring of the Technical Investigation Department, Meng Xiang is at home now!" Li Meng swallowed hard and said seriously.

When I heard the news, I was so excited that I almost jumped on the spot.

"Quickly notify the criminal police team to arrest them, let the EOD team of the patrol special police support, and beware of a bomb in Meng Xiang's home." In addition to the excitement, I hurriedly settled down and made a rational action plan.

Li Meng nodded and said to us: "The arrest team of the criminal police team has set off, Xue Hang personally leads the team, don't worry." ”

"Xue Hang leads the team, it must be foolproof." After Lin Zifan heard Xue Hang's name, he looked at me and breathed a long sigh of relief.

At this time, my excitement is also beyond words, Xue Hang's production must be a high-quality product, with him leading the team, it can definitely be foolproof.

"Although Meng Xiang is very good at making bombs, his anti-reconnaissance ability is very average, so this arrest operation will definitely be very smooth." Li Meng took over and added with a smile.

She is right, they all say that the cunning rabbit three holes, the suspect with extremely strong anti-reconnaissance ability, will not return to his home after committing the crime.

Don't tell me that the lights are dark, what is the most dangerous place is the safest place, those are no way, it is a helpless move.

Meng Xiang's residence is in an old town in Ningzhou City, where housing prices are cheap, population flows are large, people are complex, and more importantly, security measures are poor, monitoring facilities are not complete, and even every alley that can only allow one person to pass through can become an escape route for criminal suspects to evade police arrest.

Meng Xiang is 22 years old this year, seven years ago was the last time he appeared in our sight, according to the survey results, Meng Xiang only has a high school education, after graduating from high school, he went out to work, no one knows where he went in the past seven years, what work he did.

No one knows when he returned to Ningzhou.

But it was not surprising for him to learn of Qi Xuehui's address, after all, the house near Qi Xuehui's company was purchased for her by Meng Bochao.

The first is to make it easier for Qi Xuehui to commute to work.

The second is as the residence of Meng Bochao and Qi Xuehui after they got married.

After Meng Xiang returned to Ningzhou City, he did not choose to live in Meng Bochao's old house, but chose to live in the old town of Ningzhou City. He is a native of Ningzhou City, and has lived in the old town of Ningzhou since he was a child, and is very familiar with the environment there.

In addition, when Meng Xiang was born, he was in the old city, and later after Meng Bochao made money as a miner, the family moved out of the old city......

At the same time, the criminal police team has carried out a precise arrangement of troops near Meng Xiang's current address according to the map of the old city.

However, what they got was the old map from ten years ago, but in recent years, although Ningzhou City has launched the old city renovation plan, the overall changes are not small, and the map is still of reference value.

All members of the arrest team are fully equipped with police equipment, body armor and police pistols.

Officer Wang was directing the action of the arrest team at the scene, and Officer Wang was originally going to personally lead the team in this arrest operation, but now that he has Xue Hang, a better candidate, he has retreated to the position of commanding the whole process.

According to the neighbor's visit, Meng Xiang is now at home, and according to the monitoring of the Technical Investigation Department, Meng Xiang has never left since returning home. We have only one task, that is, to arrest Meng Xiang, and I have only one requirement, that is, to act quickly! Meng Xiang is a bomb maniac, there is a high probability that there are still bombs hidden in his home, everyone must not relax, we must ensure that nothing goes wrong, and Meng Xiang must not be given any chance to resist! Officer Wang said earnestly to the two arrest teams.

The first arrest team is responsible for the main attack, and the second arrest team is responsible for assisting, including officers from the patrol special police detachment, as well as dealing with emergencies that may occur at any time at the scene.

The EOD team of the patrol special police is on standby at all times.

"The old city is densely populated with houses and a large population flow, so there must not be any explosions!" Officer Wang looked serious and said seriously.

Then, Officer Wang pondered for a moment and said slowly: "If Meng Xiang detonates a bomb or causes serious consequences, he can shoot him directly." ”

"Don't worry." Xue Hang said lightly, and at the same time pulled out the police pistol from his waist and loaded it backhand.

He is such a person, no matter what kind of severe situation he faces, or what kind of wind and waves he encounters, he always looks calm, which makes people feel very relieved.

"Let's go!" Officer Wang looked at Xue Hang and said seriously.

The two arrest teams and more than a dozen police officers immediately set off and moved closer to Meng Xiang's residence in a hidden place.

Meng Xiang's residence was on the second floor, and Xue Hang had already entered the staircase of Meng Xiang's residence with the arrest team.

They remained silent throughout the entire process, communicating in tactical sign language.

Soon, they came to Meng Xiang's door.

This is a relatively old door, and the old one doesn't look like it can withstand Xue Hang's kick.

A detective skillfully applied black privacy paper to the mirror on the door.
