In the era when there was no surveillance, the police did not handle cases as easily as in later generations.

But after the incident, some police officers quickly asked nearby residents and got some information, including how many people there were, what they looked like, what weapons they were holding in their hands, from what direction, and in what direction they ran away after the robbery.

On this street, all the people are a small surveillance, and when you ask everyone, you can get enough information.

The first thing that can be determined is that the group should have traveled from other places, so people in the vicinity said that they had not seen it.

Some people are not so sensitive to other people's facial features and faces, and can't remember the specific appearance, but there are also some people who have a good memory, and can remember most of them with just one face, especially some characteristics, such as particularly thick eyebrows, very big mouth, buck teeth, scars on the face, etc.

Huang Dazhi rode a bicycle, naturally lagging behind Gao Mingcheng, but when he arrived at the Xinxin clothing store, he began to take out a pen and paper and ask about the appearance of the group of robbers in the nearby residents.

Xu was running around to commit the crime, and the gang did not cover their faces.

Masking has the advantage of being able to effectively cover your face, but it also has a disadvantage, that is, if you haven't even arrived at the target store, you will attract the attention of others because of the mask, which may lead to the failure of the robbery plan.

Huang Dazhi listened to the descriptions of the robbers in the neighborhood while drawing quickly on the paper.

Whenever the other party's description ended, Huang Dazhi would almost finish the painting, and then show the portrait to the person and ask if it looked like this.

Under the description of many people, the portraits took shape little by little.

Huang Dazhi is an assistant police officer in the police station, he has no qualifications for a gun, and he can't handle cases alone, and his fighting and grappling skills are average, but he is lucky, Gao Guobing let him learn the ability to paint portraits with an old criminal policeman, so he is now a special talent.

Although Gao Mingcheng has good physical fitness and can single-handedly fight several, he is also an ordinary person, and he does not have clairvoyance and ears.

So he couldn't find the gang of robbers quickly, so he could only rely on the information obtained by the police to handle the case.

Before getting effective information, he temporarily stayed in the store to sort out the clothes in the store, count the losses, and did not blindly pursue.

"Ming Cheng, the portrait is out!" Huang Dazhi walked in with a stack of papers and handed it to Gao Mingcheng.

Gao Mingcheng immediately took the drawing paper and looked at them one by one.

There were five robbers in the gang, and the age range was relatively large, two were older, about forty years old, and three were younger, so they were in their early twenties.

Their facial features are not the same, and the possibility of being a family can be roughly ruled out.

The two older men both had beards that obscured most of their faces, and one of them was bald with a distinct scar on his scalp.

As for the three young people, two of them are ordinary-looking, and one is scathing-looking, with a pair of hanging horned eyes that are obvious, and when they look at people, they always look at them with slanted eyes.

The owner of the shoe store next to Gao Mingcheng was taken a look at by the hanging horn, so he was impressed.

These five people have a weathered face, they haven't taken care of it for a long time, they have a strong body odor on their bodies, and their clothes are also very shabby and dirty, so the police suspect that this group of people came from other places to commit crimes.

This kind of out-of-town criminal, once they succeed, will quickly leave here, and it is difficult to catch anyone again, so they must race against time to hunt down.

Gao Mingcheng is the nephew of the Gao Bureau, this matter is not a secret in the county, but anyone who is well-informed will know that some gangsters in the county dare not come here to make trouble at all, especially some gangsters, who have suffered in the hands of Gao Mingcheng.

Therefore, the new clothing store has been safe and sound since its opening, and because the price of the clothing in the store is high, the business does not look so hot, so it is not easy to arouse the jealousy of peers.

But those peers don't know that the income of Gao Mingcheng's store is far beyond theirs, because when he went to Yangcheng to buy goods, he got the latest model and the lowest price of the garment factory through Fan Chengyao's relationship, and also saved the freight, as for the mid-range clothing, it was directly taken from Gao Shouwang, and the price was also low, but the profit was very rich.

Therefore, some people's clothing stores look like their business is better than Gao Mingcheng, but they don't necessarily make more money than Gao Mingcheng.

It's just that Gao Mingcheng is always low-key and won't brag about himself outside.

So the question is, why did the first case committed by the outrunners in the county be to rob Gao Mingcheng's store?

Even if the wanderer didn't know that Gao Mingcheng had an uncle from the deputy bureau, the location of his shop was not the best in the entire county, and it was far away from the railway station and passenger station.

When the outskirts arrived in the county, how did they choose their targets for robbery?

Is it random, or is it intentional?

Gao Mingcheng memorized all the portraits on the paper in his heart, and then returned them to Huang Dazhi.

Then the two went to the police station together to see if there was any latest news.

Gao Guobing was in the lobby of the police station, instructing his subordinates to do things, and when he saw Gao Mingcheng coming, he immediately called Gao Mingcheng over.

"The good news is that it has been determined that the gang of robbers did not have a car, and if they wanted to leave the county, they had to take the train and passenger car, or they would have to hide in the mountains. Our officers have chased them all the way, and if they go well, they will be able to bring them back. Gao Guobing said.

After the incident, Luo Li quickly came to the police, and the police station was not very far from Gao Mingcheng's store, and it was only five or six minutes away.

In addition, the victim of this case is relatively special, and the people from the police station are dispatched quickly, and there are many people involved in the case.

In a short period of time, the general situation has been investigated, and then chased after it.

It's just that now communication is not developed, and information cannot be communicated in a timely manner.

There is a landline in the police station, but if you want to make a call, you have to find another landline, for example, Gao Mingcheng's clothing store has also installed a landline, but he has not installed a landline in Gaojia Village, so the robbery in the store cannot be notified by phone, and Huang Dazhi has to rush to notify him on a bicycle.

Fortunately, Gao Mingcheng had finished his errands and was about to return to the county, when the two met halfway.

"Uncle, where did those guys go?" Gao Mingcheng asked in a calm tone.

Gao Guobing didn't hide it, he told all the circumstances, but finally said: "Mingcheng, you have to be calm, if you catch someone, it's okay to beat it, but don't beat it to death." ”

Gao Mingcheng nodded, he was naturally measured.

Beating people and killing people obviously have different consequences.

After Gao Mingcheng got the latest news, he was ready to go.

Before leaving, he asked Huang Dazhi to pick up Luo Li and go home, and closed the door of the clothing store.

It's already evening, and it's going to get dark soon.

The robbery was also premeditated at this time, and if it was morning, then the clothing store had not yet opened, and there was not much money in the drawer, and only in the evening could the store be robbed of all the turnover.

In addition, it will soon get dark, which will allow them to escape, and will be able to effectively shake off their pursuers.

As long as you find a place to hide for the time being, and when the wind passes, you can run away smoothly.

Gao Mingcheng left the police station and headed all the way to the north of the city.

The development of the southern part of the city is relatively backward, and most of them are villages and fields.

There are many villages and many mountain peaks, and if you continue to walk this way, you will come to the highest peak in the county, Xiongnan Peak.

Xiongnan Peak is precipitous, in ancient times, there are bandits entrenched on it, because of the terrain, in the dangerous place, but a man can be a man who can not be opened, so it is difficult for officers and soldiers to suppress bandits.

At present, Xiongnan Peak is in an undeveloped state, and when the economy becomes larger, it will be developed into a forest park and other attractions for the residents of the prefecture to play and exercise.

In his previous life, Gao Mingcheng had also been there, but now he was heading all the way there, and the scene in his eyes was completely different from what he remembered.

The road here is not hardened with cement, it is still a dirt road, and the road is not wide, but it is still open for vehicles.

At the end of the road, he saw a police car.

He glanced and saw no one in the car, so he looked ahead and guessed where the officers should be.

It was completely dark, and it was pitch black, except for the occasional flickering of lights in the village.

Walking on the country road, you can hear a few dogs barking in the distance.

At this moment, he heard the voice of someone, and several people in front of him were coming towards him.

They didn't have flashlights, so they walked more slowly.

"Officer Song! Officer Zhang! Gao Mingcheng heard a familiar voice and immediately shouted.

Xiao Song and Xiao Zhang are Gao Guobing's favorite subordinates, and now they have been promoted to captains.

"Mingcheng! We didn't catch the group, but some of the nearby villagers said that a group had gone into the mountains with axes and machetes. Xiao Song walked a few steps briskly, came to Gao Mingcheng, and then stretched out his hand and pointed to a small hill.

The mountain is not big, but it is connected to Xiongnan Peak, and you can reach Xiongnan Peak all the way over the mountain.

"We didn't bring flashlights, and we didn't have enough people, so we planned to go back to the bureau to get equipment and call more people to search the mountain. I have already told the nearby villagers to let the young people in the village also go into the mountains to search the mountains, and each person will be given five yuan, do you think it's okay? Xiao Song said.

He knew that Gao Mingcheng was not short of money and was willing to do it, so he let the villagers go into the mountain together in advance.

Gao Mingcheng really agreed.

He just wanted to find the robber as soon as possible, beat him up first, and then ask why he was only staring at his shop robbery, and he wanted to erase the unknown risk.

Otherwise, he is often absent from the store, and he will not be able to protect the people in the store at all.

Gao Mingcheng said: "You go back to get equipment and call people, I'll go to the mountain first." ”

Xiao Song was stunned for a moment, as if he wanted to say something, but Xiao Zhang had already said, "Okay, let's go and go back quickly!" ”

Xiao Zhang patted Xiao Song on the shoulder, then quickened his pace and headed towards the police car.

Gao Mingcheng's strength, they all knew that although it was a little inappropriate to go into the mountain alone in the dark, they didn't say anything, just went back as soon as possible to get equipment and call people.
