Considering that the criminals may be fighting the time difference, Du Heping asked everyone to stick to their positions and not expose them at will.

finally got through to two o'clock, and Du Heping asked Deputy Director Cao if it was time to close the team.

Cao Dazhi, who had been waiting in the office, was unwilling, and ordered Du Heping to hold on for a while, maybe there would be a turnaround.

Then he picked up his mobile phone and dialed Wu Fugui's number.

I dialed several times before I heard a lazy voice: "Hey, who is it?" ”

"Boss Wu, can you still sleep at this time?"

"What's wrong?"

Thinking that Wu Fugui had said that he would not let the police get involved and settle the matter with the money, he didn't dare to say anything about the arrest, and only asked him: "Have you sent the money to the place?" ”

"It's sent, 300,000, a lot of it was delivered to the designated place."

"Aren't you afraid of losing it?"

"I sent it over at the agreed time, how could I lose it."

"See if they took it?"

"Then I don't know, my subordinates did it."

"Boss Wu, are you hiring people from the mixed society?"

"What's mixed with society or not, isn't it all the same, you're not gods, maybe they can do what you can't do."

"Aren't you afraid of being swept up by them? You're a good entrepreneur, how can you get mixed up with those little gangsters? Those people are like hungry wolves, they bite wherever there is meat, and nine times out of ten they are tricked. ”

"Director Cao, how do you know that I was tricked?"

"What about your wife? Any news of her? ”

"Not yet, but I'll go home tomorrow at the latest." Wu Fugui's tone was unusually cold, and it sounded like a chicken had been lost at home.

"Alright...... Okay, you hurry up and wait for me at the gate of the community. ”

"What?"

"Go to the trading place and see if the money has been withdrawn."

"It's still worth seeing, you wait a minute, I'll call and ask." Wu Fugui hung up the phone.

Less than ten minutes later, he called again and said, "Something is wrong, I'll go and take a look." ”

"What did the other party say?"

"it! The phone doesn't get through. ”

"Then you wait for me, and I'll go over."

"No need, I'll just go over with the driver and take a look." After speaking, he hung up the phone directly.

Deputy Director Pan shouted through the command system and ordered the operation to end and the others to evacuate, leaving Du Heping alone in a hidden place.

After Du Heping conveyed the order, he asked He Xiaoyu to leave quickly.

He Xiaoyu was a little confused and asked him, "Why do you want you to stay alone?" ”

"You don't care, carry out the order, and leave quickly."

"I'm here with you, it's too dangerous to be alone."

"How do you know I'm alone?"

"Didn't you order everyone else to evacuate?"

"Maybe the other team members will come over and take over soon, let's go, the car is waiting over there."

After He Xiaoyu left, Deputy Director Cao shouted again: "Lao Du, I'll pick up Wu Fugui and go to the scene together, don't move, don't be discovered by him." ”

Du Heping asked what was going on.

Deputy Director Cao said that the situation has changed, it may be a scam, you stare at that trash can, don't go wrong.

Swindle?

So why don't you take the money you get out of the way?

That's unconventional.

……

Just pondering, Deputy Director Cao's car drove to the garbage can.

The car door opened, and two people got out of the car, Wu Fugui walked in front, and Deputy Director Cao Dazhi followed.

Wu Fugui walked straight to the second trash can, opened the lid, and shone a flashlight inside.

After looking at it for a while, he slammed off the cover, took out his mobile phone, and dialed it.

I called several times in a row, but no one answered.

Deputy Director Cao walked to the trash can, lifted the lid to take a look, and then walked up to Wu Fugui and said, "You did this too hastily. ”

"Can you catch it?"

"It's also true, criminals are too cunning. In this case, you tell me that person's mobile phone number, and I will have someone check it after work. ”

"It's useless, people must be prepared, and they won't let you find out."

"Even if it's anonymous, we're able to locate and track it through technical means."

"Forget it, don't bother with that." Wu Fugui walked to Deputy Director Pan's car and said, "Let's go...... Let's go, I'll treat you to breakfast when you go back. ”

"You go back first, send me your mobile phone number later, even if you don't care about the money, you have the obligation to assist the public security organs in fighting criminals."

"Alright...... Okay, don't give me a lesson, go back and catch up on sleep. Wu Fugui sat in the car.

Deputy Director Cao shouted at the driver: "Xiao Liang, you must send Boss Wu home safely." ”

"Okay, Cao Ju, don't worry." Xiao Liang said and drove towards the city.

It wasn't until the car drove out of sight that Cao Dazhi called out Du Heping.

Du Heping asked, "What's the situation?" ”

Deputy Director Cao said: "The money is gone. ”

"Gone?"

"yes, there's only a handful of rotten grass in the trash can, nothing."

"No, no one has ever approached the Audi since the people put the bag in, and there is not even a figure on the whole road, could it be that it has evaporated?"

Du Heping said, walked to the trash can, opened it and saw that it was empty.

He found a wooden stick, turned on the flashlight, and tapped it on the wall of the barrel.

"Such a big bag, not a speck of dust, you knocked it a few times and it came out? This is really a strange thing, what the hell is ......" Deputy Director Cao muttered as he stood aside.

"With ...... With ......," Du Heping became excited.

"What's up?" Deputy Director Cao walked over.

"Cao Ju, you see, the barrel body and the bottom of the barrel are not one." Du Heping stabbed a few times with a wooden stick, and the edge of the bottom of the barrel revealed a gap.

"You mean someone took something from underneath?"

"It can be determined."

Du Heping threw away the wooden stick, rolled up his sleeves, tightened the mouth of the bucket with both hands, and with a fierce force, the entire trash can was planted.

Adjust the position, take the flashlight to shine, and sure enough, I found the mechanism - the outside of the bottom of the barrel is actually fixed with a bolt, and it opens with an easy pull, like a door.

Looking at the location where the trash can was moved, there was a half-meter-high culvert below.

Du Heping leaned in, and the flashlight couldn't reach the end.

He got up and walked in the direction of the ditch until he reached the edge of the river, and the exit was on the embankment made of bluestone.

There are obvious footprints on the riverbank, and there are also traces of trampling on the aquatic plants along the river.

It seems that the other party is a veteran and is very familiar with the terrain here.

He had long been hiding in the ditch, waiting for the ransom money to be put in the trash, easily taking it, and then returning the same way, quietly slipping down the river.

"It seems that we are underestimating the enemy, and we are a little passive." Du Heping said.

Cao Dazhi sighed and said: "It's not just passive, it's also played by a monkey once, no wonder Wu Fugui can't trust us." ”

"Isn't he being tricked like that?" Du Heping took a breath and said, "Cao Ju, I have an idea, I think there may be an article here." ”

"What article?"

"Could it be that the surname Wu is deliberately teasing us?"

"Why?"

"When I was squatting, I suddenly felt a little strange, he obviously didn't want us to get involved, but he deliberately revealed it to you. Another thing, his people put the money in the trash can and left, which is also incredible, what if it is picked up by someone passing by, or scavenging? At least a few people have to be left in the dark to watch. ”

Cao Dazhi was silent for a while and said, "Could it be a farce directed and acted by him?" Isn't that interesting? I didn't offend him. ”

"You didn't offend him, but someone offended him."

"Who? Meng Bureau? ”

"It's not."

"Who's that?"

When the words came to his lips, Du Heping swallowed back and said perfunctorily: "I'm just saying it casually, there is no factual basis." ”

"Can't say anything, can you? If you want to say that there is only you, his wife has been missing for so many days, and you, as the leader of the task force, have made no progress, which is not counting, and it still disturbs his life from time to time. ”

"When did I disturb his life?"

"You still ask me, don't you count in your heart? He had just given us eye medicine in front of the city leaders, and it seemed that it was not enough, so he rubbed some pepper again. ”

Seeing that Xiaoliang drove back, Cao Dazhi said to Du Heping: "Let's go, go back and take a nap, maybe I will continue acting tomorrow." ”

"Still acting? What to play? ”

"Wu Fugui won't stop."

"If it's really like what we reasoned, what else does he have to mess with?"

"Lao Du, don't be too confident, maybe things are not as we said."

"Are you saying that his 300,000 was really swindled?"

"I think it's possible, it's hard to define it right now." Cao Dazhi said, walked to the trash can, bent down and moved it, it seemed that he wanted to restore his original state.

"I'll ...... I'll ......" Du Heping ran over quickly, scrambling to carry the trash can.

"On the other hand, it's not the same if you move and I move, I'm a few years younger than you."

"You are the leader, I am the leader, how can there be a reason to let the leader work?"

Cao Dazhi had already put the trash can back in its original position, clapped his hands and said, "Aren't you quite talking, it's like a tongue twister." ”

Du Heping sighed and said, "In the years when your sister-in-law had an accident, I almost couldn't speak, like a dumb person. ”

"Alright, stop thinking about that, go back to sleep."

After returning to the police station, the two men went to their respective offices.

Du Ping lay on the sofa, but he didn't feel sleepy at all, repeatedly recalling the process of this operation, and always felt that something was wrong.

My mind is stuffed with question marks, like catkins, fluttering and fluttering.

Cao Dazhi said that the person who offended Wu Fugui in the police station was himself, that's right, it was not just offended, it was a deep hatred!

This wicked man, his wife deserves to be missing, it is retribution, and it is God's punishment for him!

Thinking about it, his wife's voice came to his ears again: "The bad guy is coming, go and catch him, don't let him run away, ...... Hurry up ......"
