153. Wanted
This scene came too abruptly.
So much so that the dozen or so inspectors behind didn't even have time to react: This is jumping into the river?
Why can't you think about it so much......
If you are caught, it will be a theft at most, and you will be released after a few years of fines. What is the difference between jumping into the Thames and sending to death in this weather?
Fawkes twisted his fat belly and ran towards the riverbank.
Bakken followed.
The two came to the location where Xu Yi jumped into the river, and looked under the Thames, the water surface was slightly rippled, and other than that, they didn't see Xu Yi's figure.
"He jumped into the river?"
"How dare he, he doesn't want to die?"
Fox was puzzled, "Quick, Bakken." Quickly organize people to search along the riverbank. Today's temperature is only 3-5 degrees, and people who fall into the river will definitely not be able to stand it. We've got to get people out right away. ”
There is a sentence that Fox didn't say, if it is not rescued for more than 10 minutes, then it may only be salvage.
Bakken frowned.
He followed Xu Yi all the way, and he didn't know much about this thief, but he knew a little.
To say that Xu Yi does not cherish life, it is absolutely impossible.
What person who doesn't cherish life can run like that?
The foggy police slipped away like anything, even at the cost of disguise, to escape pursuit. How could it be at this time, throw yourself into the river?
"Captain, I always feel a little strange about this thief's behavior." Beckon shook his head, but still voiced his doubts, "In my opinion, this thief is not a man who wants to die. The reason why he jumped into the river was either ...... is afraid that if we are caught, something will be exposed; Either...... It was he who was absolutely sure that he would be able to survive this harsh condition. ”
"Otherwise, this person would never have made such an impulsive decision."
"No, not even impulsive."
"Because he was standing on the shore and waited for us for at least a few minutes. He was waiting for us on purpose, so that we could watch him jump into the river for this moment. But...... What is the purpose of this? ”
Fox admits that there is some truth in Bakken's analysis.
It's just that time is tight right now, and it's not the time to sit in the office and analyze it slowly.
He immediately said:
"What do you care about him?"
"Our goal is to get him there! If you catch someone, what is the purpose of asking? ”
"Yes, Captain!" Bakken saluted, turned around and went to arrange a manhunt.
Fawkes stared at the water that was gradually calming down, up and down. A person jumps into the river, no later than a minute, and absolutely has to take his head out for a breath. It's just that it should have been almost two minutes since Xu Yi jumped into the river, and there was still no movement on the water.
This doesn't make sense.
Even if you die, the body will float.
Could it be that jumping into the river is just a trick, and the thief didn't actually jump into the river? Instead threw a stone down? No, the possibility is almost zero. Fawkes watched people jump.
The sound of huge water waves is absolutely impossible to be caused by a stone falling down.
So, the thief jumped into the river 100 percent.
But what about people?
……
People are so cold!
Xu Yi was at the bottom of the Thames, and even if he had the physical fitness of a hundred people, he couldn't help but shudder. He was able to hold his breath underwater for ten minutes, and he was also proficient in stealth and paddling, which was enough for Xu Yi to swim a thousand or two kilometers west along the Thames.
This distance will greatly exceed the scope of the police search.
Xu Yi didn't dare to take the lead.
At this time, the search and arrest personnel of the Wudu police must be looking for themselves on the shore.
Let's let them find it~
Xu Yi went down the river and soon moved away from the place where he jumped into the river.
Five minutes later, the river was still quiet, and Fox instinctively felt that something was wrong. There is no one alive, no body is dead, this is very wrong. He immediately picked up the walkie-talkie and said to Bakken:
"Beckon Bakken, leave a squad to continue the search."
"The two drones were all transferred to this side of the riverbank, one to the east and the other to the west, and the search range was extended to ten kilometers."
"In addition, you immediately return to the police station and issue a wanted warrant to the whole city!"
Forty or fifty minutes had passed, and there were only ten minutes before the case was closed in the hour that Chief Brooke had said. Fox was not sure that he would catch anyone at all, and it was helpless to issue a wanted warrant.
At this special time of Christmas carnival, it is indeed a disappointing thing to issue a wanted warrant.
Xu Yi swam to Bishop Park, about eight kilometers away from the Wudu Ferris wheel. He could hold it for a while, but Xu Yi didn't want to hold it anymore, but leaned against the shore and quietly popped up.
No one noticed.
In Bishop's Park, there are not many people.
Christmas Day carnivals are basically concentrated in the main urban area. The location is at the junction of the main city and the suburbs, so there aren't too many people. Xu Yi shook off his wet clothes, and then quickly locked on to a clothing store not far away.
It's just that......
Before Xu Yi could lift his feet, he felt like he was being targeted.
Xu Yi raised his head:
Groove ...... The ghost is not gone!
Lao Tzu has swam so far, can your drone still follow?
Let not let people live?
Since the drone has arrived here, the speed of the Wudu police will definitely not be slow. Xu Yi took a deep breath, went directly into the clothing store, then picked out a set of clothes, quickly changed them in the locker room, he took out two tickets from his already soaked pockets, slapped them on the cash register, and said:
"That's all, nothing else."
Anyway, regardless of the cashier's shock, he flashed and disappeared.
With a drone overhead, Xu Yi can't run to the top of the building, and the goal is too obvious. Even if you are already a master parkour level, it is common sense that you can't outrun a drone.
Xu Yi turned around and entered a burger joint.
After taking two burgers, he went around the kitchen, changed into a chef's clothes, and came out the back door.
This time he walked very steadily, and did not run around.
After passing through the traffic light, two hundred meters away, there was an Internet café.
What a place!
Xu Yi walked in without thinking, and five minutes later, he had completely changed his image and came out of another door. At this moment, Xu Yi and when he came up from the Thames, they were completely two people.
The drone is still locked in the sky above the burger joint.
Wudu Police Station.
Baken, who had just filmed a wanted warrant, learned the intelligence of the drone as soon as possible. He immediately came to the map, compared the information sent back by the drone, and then said in shock:
"Just a few minutes, that guy swam out so far?"
"It can't be!"
"Even a world swimming champion would never be able to do that. Unless this kid is on some kind of underwater vehicle! ”
Fox knocked Bakken on the head and rebuked:
"It's the same old mistake again, isn't it?"
"You don't care what kind of transportation he is on, if you hesitate for a minute longer, this kid won't know where to go!"
"Now, immediately, immediately for me to arrest someone!"
After sending Bakon away, Fawkes stood in front of the map of the foggy capital.
In fact, he didn't need to look at the map at all, because the entire terrain of the fog capital was also in his mind.
He looked at the map, just to confirm the true purpose of Xu Yi swimming in the direction of Bishop Park after jumping into the river. For this thief, Fawkes had already raised him to the most difficult fugitive level in his life, and he didn't believe that Xu Yi would swim there at random.
After taking things out of the British Museum, Xu Yi's goal was very clear.
Head all the way to the southeast.
But just after jumping into the Thames, he headed southwest.
One trip to nearly ten kilometers!
From this point of view, it is very likely that it is an illusion that he fled to the southeast. But what is the point of him making this illusion? The police have been biting his tracks, and this kind of illusion can be said to be meaningless.
Unless......
An ominous thought flashed through Fawkes's mind.
Unless this thief wants to attract the energy of the police and buy time for his accomplices!
Partner!
Why didn't you think this thief had an accomplice? Being able to go to the British Museum to steal is definitely not something that one person can do, there will definitely be a criminal gang! Thinking of this, Fox almost slapped himself to death!
Concern is chaos.
When he first arrived at the museum, he watched Xu Yi escape, so all his thoughts were on arresting Xu Yi. Now that I think about it, this is just a ploy to divert the tiger from the mountain, and the real thief is probably already gone!
Southwest...... Southwest......
Leaving the fog capital in the southwest, there is only one place: Heathrow Airport!
Thinking of this, Fox no longer hesitated, and immediately asked Brooke for instructions:
"Sir, there's an update."
Brooke was busy explaining the theft of the British Museum to the upper echelons of the Fog Capital, and he couldn't hide it. The stolen cultural relics have been counted at present, about forty or fifty pieces, and their value is incalculable.
This is the largest theft ever suffered by the British Museum since its establishment.
If this case is not recovered quickly, it will definitely become world-class news. When the time comes, the whole of Great Britain will become a joke. In the past few years, there have been voices saying that the British Museum wants to return some cultural relics from other countries.
It's good now.
If you don't pay it back, someone else will take it themselves.
Brooke took a deep breath and said:
"Say, you'd better tell the good news."
One sentence held Fox on the spot, and it took several seconds before he heard Fox say, "Sir, I have a preliminary suspicion that this thief should have an accomplice. In order to prevent this gang of thieves from leaving the fog capital, I suggest that all airports and docks be immediately controlled and temporarily blocked. ”
Brooke was silent on the other end of the phone for a few seconds.
Then he decisively asked:
"Preliminary suspicions?"
"Why do you have this suspicion, and since you have suspicions, have you checked the surveillance?"
"Is the museum's surveillance broken?"
"Since there are accomplices, then in addition to his accomplices who are outside to answer him, there should also be assistants who cooperate with his actions, right? What about your evidence? Without evidence, how can I report to the above, block the airport ?! ”
Many of the daily visitors to the airport are important politicians.
Or financial giants.
The wharf is even worse, for every hour of delay, the loss is calculated in hundreds of millions.
Brooke doesn't have that power either.
That's why he roared and told Fawkes to find evidence.
As long as the evidence is conclusive, then Brooke can apply to the top in a dignified manner.
Fox understood, and immediately said:
"Yes, sir, I'll go find evidence."
……
After Xu Yi came out of the Internet café, he took a car and went straight to Heathrow Airport.
It's been just an hour.
I hope Lu Xu and they haven't left yet, so they can take themselves.
Otherwise, if you stay alone in the fog capital, you will really have to start a journey of exotic escape. Xu Yi kept urging the taxi driver, only saying that his plane was about to take off, so hurry up.
The two sides are racing against time.
On the side of Heathrow Square, Lu Xu and Guo Weida were also a little anxious when they waited.
With each passing minute, the danger gets closer.
"We've got to go." Lin Li looked at the time and said, "No matter what the situation outside is now, but if we wait any longer and wait until the Wudu police react, no matter whether Xu Yi is arrested or not, we are in danger of not being able to leave." ”
Lu Xu: "I agree. ”
Liu Ruyan didn't speak, but the meaning was self-evident.
On the contrary, Guo Weida was a little entangled:
"But Xu Yi hasn't arrived yet."
"This logistics flight is just one trip every day. If you miss it today, Xu Yi will definitely not be able to go back. ”
That's why everyone waited here for an hour.
Because there is only one logistics flight per day.
Passenger Aircraft Passage ...... That's definitely not going to work. Unless Xu Yi throws away the cultural relics in his hand, he can't pass the security check. But according to everyone's understanding of Xu Yi, this kid can't wait to get a few more things back, and it is absolutely impossible to throw away the cultural relics in his hands.
Lu Xu gritted his teeth:
"Then wait twenty minutes for the last minute!"
The original plan was to wait for Xu Yi for two hours.
It's just that I don't know why, the more people wait, the more they feel that things have become uncontrollable. So when Lin Li proposed to leave, everyone didn't feel strange. They've been on multiple missions, and this instinct is terrifying.
As soon as Lu Xu's words fell, everyone saw several police cars roaring on Airport Avenue.
He secretly said bad in his heart, and quickly changed his words:
"Can't wait!"
"You can't wait a second! Let's go, take off now! ”
The others apparently noticed that something was wrong, and immediately rushed to the plane and boarded the plane.
As for Xu Yi......
Then you can only pray for him silently!
Three minutes later, the Wudu police deployed the airport, and a tailwind cargo plane of the Dragon Kingdom flew off the runway and jumped into the clouds!
When Xu Yi's taxi arrived at Heathrow Airport, he also found the "traffic light" shining on the police car for the first time, and he felt a pang in his heart: Oh no, I don't know if Lao Lu and they got away? I definitely can't get out of the car at this moment, and getting off at this time is no different from throwing myself into the net.
Almost immediately, Xu Yi said:
"Forget it, my plane is gone."
"Let's go, master, take me to the nearest hotel ......" (end of this chapter)
