Chapter 286 Sleepy

Jiuling Town, a leisure park in the town center.

At this time, all the uncles and aunts who were strolling in the park were persuaded to leave by the police, and dozens of police officers stood on the roadside on guard.

The entire road has been blocked and a cordon has been set up.

When Wang Mu and his group rushed there, they saw Luo Rui standing on the side of the road.

"Team Leader Luo."

Luo Rui turned around and called out, "Director Wang."

Wang Mu looked forward and found a car parked next to the park, with the body of the car covered with a silver-gray dust cloth.

The rear of the car has been exposed, and it is indeed a white Volkswagen.

But the license plate number didn't match.

"How did you find out?" Wang Mu asked.

Luo Rui pointed to the two policemen beside him and said, "This is what they found during the search. I was just passing by here."

One of the policemen pointed to the public toilet in front and said, "I just came out of the toilet and saw this car, which looked suspicious, so I lifted the dust cover to take a look. The license plate number didn't match, but one corner of the license plate was lifted up, and there was another license plate hidden inside..."

Wang Mu looked and saw that a corner of the license plate on the back of the Volkswagen was lifted up, revealing a number.

This number happens to be the last digit of the license plate captured by the traffic surveillance camera.

Wang Mu looked around and saw that the cordon was filled with onlookers. Some of them were looking around, and there were also some people in the park looking over here.

Wang Mu quickly instructed Lin Chen: "Tell the search teams that are still resting to cheer up and search inside immediately. If nothing unexpected happens, the two robbers must be hiding around the park."

"Understood." Lin Chen responded and walked aside with the walkie-talkie.

Then, Wang Mu turned to look at Luo Rui: "Team Leader Luo, how is your team's investigation going?"

Luo Rui shrugged. "We started from the place where the masked man last disappeared and found that he appeared in a public toilet half a kilometer away from the beauty salon. He took off his disguise and fled the scene. As for his subsequent whereabouts, we don't know."

"Really?" Wang Mu seemed a little unconvinced.

Luo Rui pondered for a moment and understood what the other party meant.

No wonder he would be suspicious. If he hadn't found any clues, how could he be here?

Luo Rui explained: "We came here because we found another clue."

"Oh, what clue?" Wang Mu narrowed his eyes.

"We investigated the victims, Liu Jiafu and Ding Li, and found that they had large deposits of more than 4 million yuan in their accounts. The source of the money was unknown. I feel that this bus robbery and murder case may have a lot to do with this.

Besides, Liu Jiafu's hometown is here, so I came to take a look."

Wang Mu crossed his arms and asked, "More than four million in savings? A bus driver really shouldn't have that much money. So you mean this gang of robbers came for the money?"

Luo Rui shook his head: "It shouldn't be. If it was really for money, they could just kidnap Liu Jiafu. Why kill him on the way? And when they committed the crime, they didn't interrogate Liu Jiafu, but killed him directly. There must be something hidden."

"Indeed, if you analyze it this way, it is purely revenge killing." Wang Mu nodded, but the expression on his face did not show that he cared about the clue Luo Rui mentioned.

Luo Rui could see that the other party seemed to be well-informed and didn't care much about the reasons behind the case.

This is a common problem among the older generation of criminal police. During the investigation process, they do not care much about the motive for the murder. What they focus on most is catching the suspect, and the motive is the last link.

Seeing that his attitude was not very enthusiastic, Luo Rui felt that there was no need to continue explaining.

Soon, the explosion-proof team and two groups of special police arrived.

They began to arrange the task and prepare to investigate whether there was an explosive device in the suspected vehicle.

Two technical police officers wearing blue explosion-proof suits pulled back the dust cloth, revealing the entire vehicle body.

One of them used a screwdriver to remove the license plate from the back of the car.

Sure enough, the license plate hidden inside was the white Volkswagen that was used in the highway robbery.

Seeing this, the eyes of the onlookers narrowed, especially the criminal police who participated in the investigation yesterday morning, their faces looked particularly ugly.

Then, two explosion-proof police officers held detectors and carefully scanned the entire body of the Volkswagen.

Everyone held their breath and stared at the detector, but fortunately, it did not sound an alarm.

One of the blast police officers came over, took off his blast helmet, and shook his head: "No dangerous items suspected to be Z-bombs were found. This car is very clean."

"Are you sure?" Wang Mu didn't want to continue playing Wan Mingxia's role.

"Of course." The explosion-proof police officer looked unhappy. He picked up a lock-picking tool from the side, walked to the car door, and inserted it into the door handle. He operated it for a while, and then with a "bang", he pulled the car door open with force.

He turned around and asked, "Did you see it?"

Wang Mu took two steps forward and said with a smile, "Just in case."

The riot police officer nodded: "I'll leave it to you guys from now on!"

Next, the technical police officers began to investigate the traces in the vehicle.

Later, Kang Bolin also arrived with his men. Seeing that the suspected vehicle was found, his confidence increased greatly.

He glanced at Wang Mu, then pulled Luo Rui aside and asked, "Why are you here?"

Luo Rui narrowed his eyes slightly: "Can't I come?"

Kang Bolin quickly waved his hand: "That's not what I meant. I wanted to ask, have you found anything?"

Kang Bolin was not a bad person. Although he did not have Chen Hao's ability to handle cases, he was quite self-aware, so Luo Rui did not intend to hide it from him. However, just as he was about to speak, the intercom in the other party's hand rang: "Calling the headquarters, calling the headquarters, we have found the whereabouts of the robbers."

"Repeat, calling the headquarters, we have found the whereabouts of the robbers, we are at the Four Seasons Building!"

Hearing this, Kang Bolin's eyes narrowed.

Wang Mu was also shocked. He clenched his right fist and said, "Now listen to my orders. The technical team will stay here and continue the investigation. Everyone else will go to the bell tower. The criminal police carrying guns will each be equipped with a special police officer to form a combat team!"

Afterwards, the group immediately rushed to the target location.

The Four Seasons Building is only 300 meters away from the park, just around the corner.

So, they didn't plan to drive, but ran over there quickly.

Kang Bolin was about to leave when he saw Luo Rui and the others standing there in a daze: "What? You're not going?"

Luo Rui shrugged: "There are so many of you, one more person is enough."

Kang Bolin hesitated to speak.

Wang Mu frowned slightly and glanced at him meaningfully.

Only when Lin Chen passed by him, he clenched his fist and said to him: "Team Leader Luo, come on!"

Luo Rui smiled and said nothing.

At the same time, Fang Yonghui and Yang Bo ran out from the innermost part of the park.

The two men were sweating profusely, and their trouser legs were stuck with weeds and dirt.

Seeing the SWAT and criminal police ahead, Yang Bo asked, "Luo Da, what happened? These people are running faster than rabbits. Did they find the whereabouts of the robbers?"

"That's right." Luo Rui replied.

Fang Yonghui opened his eyes wide: "Then what are we waiting for? We have to go too, even if it means catching just one person."

Luo Rui didn't care: "Why are you in such a hurry? Have you found the ancestral hall?"

Yang Bo pointed to the back of the park and said, "It's right there, the Liu Family Ancestral Hall. It was burned down by a fire eleven years ago."

"Let's go and take a look." Luo Rui walked forward.

Yang Bo smacked his lips and said, "Luo Da, are we really not going to follow them?"

"You go if you want."

Yang Bo and Fang Yonghui looked at each other, both of them with drooping lips, and followed Luo Rui helplessly.

ten minutes later.

At the Four Seasons Building in the center of the town, a team consisting of hundreds of criminal police, special police and civilian police surrounded the entire building downstairs.

This building is located on the street, has seven floors, and the first floor is occupied by shops, including a restaurant called Four Seasons Hotel.

At this time, the police officer who discovered the robbers came forward and said, "Director Wang, Squadron Kang."

"Are you sure the two robbers are upstairs?"

The police officer pulled a young woman behind him and replied, "Five minutes ago, when we were checking, this girl said she had seen these two robbers."

Wang Mu looked at the woman and saw that she was wearing an apron. "Are you a waitress in this restaurant?"

"Yes." The woman nodded.

Wang Mu took the real photo of Kou Tao and the sketch of another robber from Lin Chen.

"Have you seen them?"

The woman looked up and stared at the photo.

Before she could speak, Wang Mu continued, "Think carefully, these two people are very dangerous. If you can help us catch them, we will apply for a reward of 50,000 yuan for you."

Upon hearing this, the woman showed no expression, but Kang Bolin felt a pang of pain in his flesh.

This money must have been paid by the Municipal Bureau. Wang Mu is really a man who dares to spend money.

I don’t feel sorry for my son!
"I have seen."

"Where have you seen him before?"

"Yesterday at noon, this person came to our restaurant for lunch and even took away a meal." The woman pointed to the sketch.

"Besides him, is there anyone else?"

The woman shook her head. "He's the only one."

“How many people did he pack for meals?”

The woman recalled: "A box of white rice, a serving of beef stew with potatoes, and two bottles of beer."

Wang Mu secretly complained in his heart, this is the weight of a person.

He took out Kou Tao's photo alone: ​​"Have you seen this person?"

"No."

"Okay, I understand." Wang Mu pointed at the sketch and asked, "Which direction did this person go after finishing his meal?"

The woman looked upstairs and pointed cautiously.

"Are you sure he's in this building?"

"Yes, I saw him going downstairs to buy buns this morning."

"Thank you!"

After asking the questions, Wang Mu didn't dare to delay any longer. With so many people gathered downstairs, if the two robbers paid a little attention, they would find that the police had surrounded them.

Time was urgent, so Wang Mu made some simple arrangements, and then the special police took the lead, followed by the criminal police.

Special police carried out arrests and criminal police persuaded the residents of the building to leave.

The time now is 1:40 p.m.

At this time, the adults are at work and the building is full of elderly people and children.

Kang Bolin rushed to the front, holding the gun in both hands, and went up the stairs quickly.

When they reached the second floor, they knocked on several doors and showed them photos of the two robbers.

"Have you seen these two men?"

"You are..." One of the old men wearing reading glasses blinked and looked at the rifle in the hand of the special police.

"Hey, it's much more advanced than what we used back then. I retired from the battlefield back then, and I think back then..."

Kang Bolin was speechless for a while, and quickly showed the photo to his wife: "Have you seen it?"

The old lady frowned and nodded, looking a little nervous: "I saw this person this morning."

She pointed to the sketch: "He is holding a bag of buns in his hand. It seems that he lives on the fourth floor."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes, I ran into him when I went upstairs to dry the clothes."

"Which room on the fourth floor?"

"I do not know then."

"Thank you! Please come downstairs quickly, it's very dangerous here." Kang Bolin turned around and wanted to leave, but was caught by the old man.

"Hey, give me a gun, I'll help you catch people, I can tear the devils apart with my bare hands!"

Kang Bolin saw that he could not even stand steadily, and he must be at least ninety years old.

"Uncle, I'll definitely do it next time!" Kang Bolin broke free from his hand and immediately led his men to the fourth floor.

Now they were not sure which room on the fourth floor the robber was in, so they had to try their luck and carefully knocked on a door. The resident pointed out that Kou Tao and another robber lived in room 406. All the way up, Kang Bolin always felt that something was wrong.

With such a big commotion happening on our side, it is impossible for the robbers to remain indifferent.

has a problem!
Kang Bolin did not dare to be careless. He first persuaded all other residents to go downstairs, and then reported the news to Wang Mu who was on the third floor.

Under normal circumstances, they would have kicked the door and rushed in.

But these two men have homemade Z-bombs in their hands. Damn, if we rush in rashly, who knows if there will be an explosion like the one we had early yesterday morning.

Wang Mu looked solemn. After seeing that all the residents had been evacuated, he took a loudspeaker from the police officer.

At this time, persuading them to surrender is much safer than forcing their way in, at least no serious accidents will occur.

At this time, on both sides of the door of Room 406, there was a team of armed special police standing.

Wang Mu walked to the door with a loudspeaker and knocked.

"Listen up, everyone inside. We are from the Municipal Public Security Bureau. You have been surrounded. I advise you to surrender. As long as you turn yourself in, we police will treat you leniently. If you resist being arrested, your crime will be even more serious. You'd better think it over carefully!"

……

Liu Family Ancestral Hall.

The half-broken plaque fell among the broken bricks. The words on it were already very blurred, and only the two words "Liu Family" could be made out.

The town is not big, and there are fields half a kilometer away from the center of town.

However, at this time, the crops in the fields had been harvested and looked bare.

Eleven years ago, the Liu Family Ancestral Hall suffered a fire and was completely burned down.

The ancestral hall does not cover a large area, and judging from the scale of the collapse, it is only about 100 square meters at most.

Yang Bo kicked the half-blackened beam and said, "Luo Da, this is the place. It has been burned to ashes. There is nothing left."

Fang Yonghui asked, "Could it be that Liu Yong encountered the fire here that year? Are the burns on his body related to this ancestral hall?"

Luo Rui didn't say a word. He stared at the vast ruins in silence.

Soon, Luo Rui's cell phone rang.

The call was from Chu Yang.

"Hello, team leader, the DNA test report is out."

"So fast?"

"Yes, I asked them to add a plug."

"The results of it?"

"Liu Yong's DNA does not match that of Liu Jiafu and his wife. He is not their child!"

Luo Rui narrowed his eyes slightly: "Mismatch?"

"That's right!"

"I understand." Luo Rui hung up the phone.

Because the speakerphone was on, Fang Yonghui and Yang Bo both heard it.

Yang Bo asked, "So Liu Yong was adopted?"

Luo Rui's mind flashed with the words Liu Yong said after he became mentally ill.

[Ancestral hall, inside the ancestral hall! The ancestral hall was burned down by a fire, ah! Xiaojie... It hurts so much, I'm going to die, my eyes are full of blood, Xiaojie, run, run quickly, stay alive, you must stay alive! ]

At this moment, Luo Rui's mind was suddenly occupied by an idea...

Fang Yonghui saw him standing there in a daze and asked, "Luo Da, what are we doing now?"

Luo Rui ignored him and walked towards the ruins.

Fang Yonghui and Yang Bo also hurried to follow.

The three men walked through the ruins and found nothing suspicious.

The ancestral hall has been abandoned for more than ten years. The intact bricks and wood have been taken away by nearby residents, leaving only devastated ruins.

Perhaps a homeless person or a child has been here, and there are cigarette butts, leftover instant noodle boxes, and broken beer bottles on the ground.

Yang Bo and Fang Yonghui looked at each other and saw helplessness in each other's eyes.

They really didn't understand Luo Rui's thoughts. He had clearly discovered the robbers' tracks, but instead of chasing them, he came here to investigate.

Besides, the ancestral hall no longer exists, so what clues can be found?
Just when the two men seemed helpless, they suddenly saw Luo Rui lift up the hem of his clothes and reach out to pull out the pistol from his waist holster.

Seeing this, the two were startled and quickly ran forward.

Yang Bo asked hurriedly: "Luo Da, what's going on?"

Luo Rui stretched out a finger and put it to his mouth, meaning to keep quiet.

The two men followed his gaze and saw nothing there except a pile of broken bricks.

"Mr. Luo?" Fang Yonghui lowered his voice.

Luo Rui pointed to the ground below.

The two men immediately looked down and found a series of clear footprints on the gravel ground.

The footprints continued forward and ended near the broken bricks.

Seeing this, Yang Bo asked, "The robbers' footprints?"

Luo Rui made another gesture to keep quiet, then pointed forward.

The two men nodded, immediately took out their service guns and loaded them.

Immediately, Fang Yonghui and Yang Bo moved several steps to the left and right to keep some distance between them.

The two people searched forward with Luo Rui as the center.

Two minutes later, Yang Bo, who was walking in front, looked back, then he stepped back as low as possible and whispered in Luo Rui's ear: "Master Luo, there is a cellar over there!"

Luo Rui had a smile on his face and nodded slightly.

The three people walked over there and saw a blackened wooden board on the ground to the left of the pile of broken bricks. The square board was as big as a small round table.

If you don't look carefully, you can't see anything strange here.

But there was supposed to be an iron ring on the wooden board, but it was knocked off.

Fang Yonghui asked: "Luo Da, what should we do now?"

Yang Bo asked, "Could the two robbers be hiding underneath?"

Hearing this, Fang Yonghui swallowed his saliva and opened his eyes wide: "If that's true, then have we done something meritorious?"

Luo Rui pondered: "Who knows, if there are people hiding down there, we can't go down rashly..."

After saying that, Luo Rui ran to the side and found a two-meter-long hemp rope from the ruins.

"We'll know if we give it a try."

He walked behind the wooden board and passed the rope through the half iron ring. He squatted aside and waved to Yang Bo and Fang Yonghui, signaling them to stand further away.

Luo Rui took a breath and pulled the rope hard.

Fang Yonghui and Yang Bo had already pointed their guns at the wooden board. Both of them held their breath and dared not even make a sound.

With a creak, the board loosened.

When the wooden board was removed, they saw half of the hole exposed.

Then...

"Bang, bang!"

Two gunshots were heard from the cellar, and bullets whizzed out.

Fang Yonghui and Yang Bo were shocked and quickly took two steps back, but neither of them chose to shoot.

"Damn! They are really hiding underneath!" Yang Bo shouted excitedly.

Fang Yonghui also laughed: "Damn it, listen up, everyone below, we are the police, you are under arrest, we advise you to put down your guns immediately!"

"boom!"

Another bullet fired out from inside, responding to Fang Yonghui's shout.

Not only were the two people not afraid, they seemed extremely excited.

This is really a credit!
This is a fucking medal!

Yang Bo's face flushed red, and he looked at Luo Rui who was standing next to the cave entrance: "Luo Da, what should we do now?"

Luo Rui shrugged: "Of course we should call the Kang Detachment and ask them to come and arrest him. Do we really need to do it ourselves?"

"But..." Yang Bo and Fang Yonghui spoke at the same time.

"But what? Can the cooked duck fly away?" Luo Rui curled his lips.

"That's true, hehe..." Fang Yonghui laughed heartily.

……

Four Seasons Building.

Wang Mu stood in front of the door, holding a loud speaker, and shouted for ten minutes, but the robbers inside did not move.

There was not even a word of reply.

"Finally, I'll give you a piece of advice. If you don't come out in ten minutes, we'll attack you!" Wang Mu had lost his patience. He handed the loudspeaker in his hand to his men and stepped aside.

Kang Bolin immediately put his ear to the door and heard a faint voice in the room.

Seeing Wang Mu waving at him, he hurried over.

Wang Mu whispered, "Two minutes later, strong attack!"

"Yes!" Kang Bolin called two special police officers holding explosion-proof shields.

The two men stood in front of the door, and the police officer behind them carried one and hit it against the doorpost.

Cumberlin stood to one side, holding a gun in his right hand and extending three fingers with his left hand.

When he snapped off his last finger...

The police officer holding a battering ram immediately rammed the door.

"boom!"

The door was suddenly pushed open, and police officers holding explosion-proof shields rushed in first.

There was no one in the living room, but the TV was on, and the TV series "Conquest" was playing.

Everyone immediately rushed to the bedrooms and kitchen on both sides.

"The bedroom is safe!"

"Kitchen safety!"

"Bathroom, someone died in the bathroom!"

Kang Bolin immediately ran over and saw a corpse lying on the floor of the bathroom. Her neck was tied with a rope, as if she had been strangled to death.

At this time, Wang Mu also walked in, frowning and looking at the corpse.

"This is……"

One of the police officers brought a photo frame from the living room: "She should be the owner of the household."

The woman in the photo looks exactly like the female corpse. Without any speculation, one can guess that the robber must have killed someone and is hiding in this room.

Wang Mu sighed and shook his head in disappointment.

"These guys are so damn cunning! We searched the whole town but couldn't find them."

Kang Bolin put away the pistol, squatted on the ground, and touched the neck of the female corpse with his hand.

"The body is not cold yet. He died not long ago. The robber must still be in this town!"

Wang Mu gritted his teeth and said, "Search! Keep searching! Turn this town upside down to find these two people!"

At this time, Kang Bolin took out his mobile phone from his pocket. He was stunned for a moment, then answered the call.

Two seconds later, his eyes widened and his expression froze.

Wang Mu saw his expression and asked, "What's wrong?"

Kang Bolin swallowed his saliva and said in disbelief: "Luo Rui and his men seem to have caught the robbers..."

"What?" Wang Mu was shocked and froze.
