Temporary command room.

Several members of the technical department quickly tapped on the keyboard and determined Zhao Ming's escape trajectory through surveillance video.

By this time, the captain had returned to the table.

A map of the city was spread out on the table, and as the technical department reported the movements of the robbers, the captain also marked it on the map with a red marker.

The cameraman was carrying a video camera and was broadcasting live the situation in the command room.

Shu Ruochu stood aside and waited quietly.

"At 18:10, the taxi that the robbers were riding stopped outside the Friendship Mall, and after the robbers got out of the car, they entered the mall!"

The technical troop member over there spoke again.

Hear the words.

The captain hurriedly circled the Friendship Mall on the map.

The crackling keyboard still didn't stop.

Several members of the technical department are calling up the surveillance footage on the road next to the mall to determine whether Zhao Ming left the mall after the time.

After marking on the map, the captain raised his wrist to look at the time.

It was 6:23 p.m.

Other words.

Zhao Ming entered the mall 13 minutes ago.

Although I don't know what Zhao Ming wants to do when he runs into this mall, it has been nearly half an hour.

It's unlikely that he'll still be in the mall.

"Can I get the surveillance footage from the mall?"

The captain took the marker pen, looked back at the direction of several members of the technical department, and asked.

Hear the words.

One of the members of the technical department turned around.

Frowning, he watched the captain open his mouth in response.

"Can't get it!"

"The mall's surveillance is not connected to our escort system."

"Their surveillance footage is stored locally, and there is no way to retrieve it remotely."

Hearing the response of the technical department, the chief captain frowned.

There is no way to access the surveillance video in the mall, so there is no way to know what Zhao Ming did when he entered the mall.

After he entered the mall in the combat uniform of the Special Operations Squad, he changed his outfit and disguised himself casually.

Even if it reappears underneath the surveillance cameras, it is difficult to spot.

Therefore.

Even if Zhao Ming is still in the mall, it is unlikely.

But at the moment, people can only go to the friendship mall.

Call up the monitoring to see Zhao Ming's actions after entering the mall.

"You take the first group and go to the Friendship Mall to find out what Zhao Ming did after entering the mall."

"After he enters the mall, there is a high probability that he will change out of his combat uniform, re-disguise himself and leave."

"So we have to find out his disguise through the mall surveillance."

The captain looked back at the captain of the criminal investigation detachment, who had been withdrawn from the bank.

With a serious expression, he commanded.

"Yes!"

When the captain of the criminal investigation detachment heard this, he opened his mouth to respond, and then quickly turned around and left the temporary command room.

And at this time.

The captain's gaze had returned to the map on the table.

If Zhao Ming wants to win the exercise, he will have to hold out for 48 hours.

For such a long time, if you keep fleeing, the risk of exposure is extremely high, and it is not a wise choice.

Therefore, he should choose a relatively safe place to hide.

This place must be extremely difficult for the escort team to investigate, and it is extremely difficult to visit.

And the best choice for this is naturally the urban village.

Because the population of urban villages is extremely dense, most of the people living at the same time are migrant workers, and the floating population is very large.

The appearance of an unfamiliar face in such a place does not easily arouse the suspicion of others.

The captain took a marker pen and drew a circle centered on the Friendship Mall.

The red circle covers a distance of almost five kilometers on the map.

"Chuanfang Village, Xinyuan Village, Zhenxing Village!"

His gaze swept over the circle he had just drawn, and the captain tapped his fingers on the several urban villages above and spoke in a low voice.

At this time.

The eyes of several squad leaders around the table were also on the place where the chief captain had clicked.

At the moment, I couldn't help frowning.

"Headquarters, these three urban villages are not small."

"Take the smallest revitalization village as an example, it covers an area of 300 acres, with more than 2,000 residents, and 20,000 tenants in it."

"If you want to find people in these places in a short time, we just have such a few people, it's really not enough!"

One of the squad leaders took a slight breath before frowning and seriously reminding him.

As soon as these words came out.

The rest of the squad leaders also looked at the captain.

Lack of manpower is indeed the biggest problem they are facing right now.

If they don't solve this problem, they will have to find a way to narrow down their search as much as possible.

After all.

The combined strength of the three teams that are now able to deploy operations makes it difficult to completely cordon off an urban village.

Not to mention the three urban villages.

You must know that in places like urban villages, the traffic is extremely chaotic, and there are simply so many entrances and exits that it is outrageous.

If Zhao Ming really entered the urban village, it would be a huge project to find him.

"If you don't have enough manpower, then ask for more manpower!"

"Isn't the original intention of the director of this exercise to be based on actual combat?"

"Since the exercise is to be regarded as actual combat, the current situation really needs to send more manpower!"

The captain put down the marker pen in his hand, stood up straight, and then spoke very seriously.

Hear this.

Several squad leaders nodded, but there was also a slight worry on their faces.

If it is really in actual combat, it is indeed common to ask for additional manpower when encountering a situation.

But this is only a drill after all.

The request for additional manpower may not be agreed to by the Secretary General.

Under the watchful eyes of several squad leaders, the captain had already picked up his mobile phone and dialed the director's number.

After two rings, the phone was answered.

"Director, it is very likely that the robbers are fleeing to several urban villages around the Friendship Mall."

"Because of the complexity of the people in urban villages, it takes a lot of manpower to search for robbers."

"So I'm asking for some more people."

The captain didn't talk nonsense, and directly and concisely stated his requirements.

After the captain's voice fell, there was a brief silence on the other end of the phone.

It was a few seconds before the director's voice rang out.

"I'll give you an answer in five minutes!"

The director replied calmly.

Then he hung up.

Faced with such a situation, the captain raised his eyebrows, and he was not idle at the moment.

Instead, point your finger within the circle, at the farthest distance from the bank, in the boathouse Murakami.

"If I were a robber, I would have to choose a hiding place in one of these three urban villages."

"Then I will definitely choose the Boathouse Village!"

"Because this urban village is not only the largest area of the three urban villages, but also has the largest population density and floating population."

"The most important thing is that he is also the furthest from the temporary headquarters of our convoy."

"That way, it will take more time for the convoy to send people from the command here, and the robbers will have plenty of time to hide!"

While waiting for the Director's reply.

The captain looked up at several squad leaders, frowned and said what was in his heart.

Hear this.

Several team leaders nodded, obviously agreeing with this statement.
