Baishan City is a small city crawling at the foot of Changbai Mountain. It is built on the mountain. It has a small population and a small overall area.
In this season, Baishan City really lives up to its name. It is covered in silver and is a world of white snow. The snow on the streets is very thick, and the main roads have been scrambled to clear a passage.
There are still many sections of roads covered with thick snow, calf-deep, and many comrades are still busy clearing snow on the roads.
The speed of the vehicle was like a turtle crawling. Fortunately, the distance was not long. After leaving the airport, we arrived at Baishan City Bureau in about 40 minutes.
Next door to the city bureau is the guest house, but it is very small. It is just a small two-story building. It does not even have a conference room or restaurant, and it can barely accommodate all five people.
In view of this, the temporary command office of the stolen national treasure task force was located in the conference room of the Baishan Municipal Bureau.
At the municipal bureau, Du Weiguo saw the injured Director Tang Kaixuan of the Ji Province Special Service Branch. He mistakenly blamed him because he was really injured.
It was not that Tang Kaixuan was ambushed, but that he led a team to re-investigate the scene as soon as he arrived.
When we were halfway up the mountain, we caught up with the aftermath of an avalanche. In order to rescue other comrades, we had an arm smashed and a foot injured.
Today, Tang Kaixuan's hands and feet are in plaster, and his head is wrapped with gauze. Regardless of the severity of his injuries, he gritted his teeth and attended the meeting in a wheelchair.
It can be seen that Director Tang is a good comrade and a good cadre who is extremely responsible. He is dedicated to the public service, dedicated to the public, and will die until death. This is exactly the opposite of Du Weiguo's previous speculation.
Needless to say, Du Weiguo's mentality has been quite dark recently, and he often makes the most malicious assumptions about others.
Belly sinister heart of a gentleman.
Du Weiguo completely forgot that the current era was still the best era. The vast majority of cadres were honest and dedicated to the public, regardless of gains or losses.
Hey, I don’t have a benchmark~
When a person has a dark psychology, he sees the whole world as dark, gloomy and treacherous, with no good people at all. If this situation continues, Du Weiguo will not be far from a psychopath.
This situation has a standard definition in later generations and is called antisocial personality disorder. This is a disease and it must be cured!
It's too far off topic. Time is tight and tasks are heavy right now. Du Weiguo has no time for pleasantries. He just asked Tang Kaixuan briefly and went straight to the topic.
This case was not complicated, the facts were clear, and Du Weiguo quickly understood the specific situation.
At this moment, on the wall of the city bureau conference room, there is a newly drawn simple topographic map, which looks like a soldier.
Although this map is simple, the core elements are marked very clearly, including Baishan City and part of the Changbai Mountains. The suspect's movement route is also marked.
This group of Eastern Xia tombs appeared at the northern foot of Changbai Mountain, near Wangou Town. According to Feng Shui theory, they were built at the neck of the dragon vein in Changbai Mountain.
From this point of view, Pu Xianwannu, the short-lived emperor of Laoshizi, still had some self-knowledge in his heart.
He also knew that he was not the foundation of an eternal emperor at all, and he did not build the mausoleum on the head of this dragon vein.
In the land of China, the most famous dragon vein is naturally Kunlun Mountain, known as the ancestor of dragon veins in the world. All dragon veins in the world are found in it, with the exception of Changbai Mountain outside Guanshan.
Kunlun Mountain has wind but no water, it is an earth dragon, while Changbai Mountain has wind and water, it is a hidden dragon. These miscellaneous stories were learned from daily chats between Du Weiguo and Han Wen.
Returning to reality, the last location where these tomb robbers and their cooperators appeared was Shajingou in Wanggou Town.
As the name suggests, this place was a riverbed gold mine rich in alluvial gold during the Manchu Dynasty. It was also called Laojingou at that time.
However, as early as the Puppet Manchukuo period, this place was dug up and down by greedy little people, completely mined and exhausted. Even the river channel was dug out, and it has been abandoned for decades.
The group of suspected foreign bastards responsible for responding to the tomb robbers and ambushing the city bureau comrades set up their ambush here.
"Du Chu, we have already surveyed the ambush site. There are a total of 6 people on the other side. Their marksmanship is very accurate, they cooperate tacitly, and they are familiar with fighting in the snow.
Known equipment, Thompson submachine gun, rice grenades, broadsword mines, and Gadlan rifle, suspected sniper, above."
The case statement was made by Section Chief Gu Tianping of the Special Service Branch. The statement was concise and concise. What was very inconsistent with this sturdy man's simple and honest appearance.
He speaks clearly and thinks carefully, and the map on the wall was hand-drawn by him. He is a rare talent with both civil and military skills.
They are both Xiong Zhu people, but Gu Tianping's brain is much better than Bart's. If this were normal, Du Weiguo would have been tempted by Aicai and took this guy into his pocket.
But now, everything is false.
Du Weiguo suppressed the chaotic thoughts in his heart, stared at the map and pondered for a moment, then lightly glanced at the several local cadres present:
"Leaders, you are all locals and are more familiar with the terrain. According to your judgment, in which direction will these people flee?"
Tang Kaixuan, who had been silent all this time, cleared his throat, but his voice was still very hoarse:
"Director Du, we have analyzed before that this group of people is likely to go south from Shajingou to Linjiang County, and then flee across the border from there."
Du Weiguo frowned and quickly found the location of Linjiang County on the map. Well, it was indeed a perfect choice.
The straight-line distance from Jinsha Valley is only about 70 kilometers, and it is only separated by a river from Zhongjiang City in neighboring countries.
During this season, the river has already frozen, making it easy to cross on foot. The long border line of dozens of kilometers, surrounded by rolling mountains, is really difficult to guard against.
No matter from which angle you look at it, it is indeed an excellent escape route.
Du Weiguo asked in a deep voice:
"Director Tang, since you have already anticipated it, you must have taken some specific precautionary measures? Can you tell me about it?"
Tang Kaixuan had injuries on his neck and face. He nodded with difficulty and touched the wounds, but his tone was very calm:
"Yes, Director Du, although the straight-line distance from Jinshagou to Linjiang County is only a few dozen kilometers, it is basically mountainous.
This group of people should not dare to take the main road blatantly, and can only take the mountain road. In this season, it is very difficult to cross the snowy mountains and jungles."
Tang Kaixuan took a breath. After just a few words, his forehead was already sweating. He held the wound on his neck with his hand and continued tenaciously:
“Yesterday at noon, I notified the comrades of the Linjiang County Public Security Bureau to block all passages into the county from the south.
At the same time, a co-investigation notice was also sent to the border defense department in Linjiang. It is a national treasure and they take it very seriously. They have increased patrols since noon yesterday and are conducting a blanket search."
After taking a breath again, Tang Kaixuan's voice was hoarse:
"Moreover, we immediately notified all the communes and villages along the way to strictly guard against it, clear the country, and report the whereabouts of all suspicious persons, above."
"Okay, I understand. Thank you for your hard work, Director Tang."
Du Weiguo looked at the map on the wall, briefly calculated it in his mind according to his arrangement, and nodded very solemnly, his tone full of respect.
Needless to say, Tang Kaixuan's handling was very appropriate, timely and decisive enough, and the dragnet was impeccable and perfect!
Du Weiguo thought to himself that he would never be able to do this anyway. Tang Kaixuan's handling was flawless. The most important thing was that he was quick enough and reacted quickly.
The reason why he can achieve this level must be because he has been operating in the local area for a long time and has strong personal connections.
Not to mention Du Weiguo, even if Hu Fei comes, he may not have the same effect as Tang Kaixuan. The county magistrate is not as good as taking charge now. This is what he said.
Du Weiguo gathered his thoughts, pondered for a moment, stood up and walked to the map. His slender fingers lightly crossed the two locations mentioned by Tang Kaixuan on the map, and asked in a deep voice:
"Director Tang, besides this shortest route from Shajin Valley to Linjiang County, is there any other alternative route?"
Upon hearing this, Tang Kaixuan nodded gently, with a look of approval in his eyes.
Du Weiguo is really too young. As the saying goes, he has a hairless mouth and is not solid in his work. To achieve such a high position at such a young age and to become the commander-in-chief by air, it is inevitable that people will feel dissatisfied.
Any leader who is a practical leader will look at him with a critical eye at the first moment.
As the saying goes, an expert can tell when he reaches out his hand. Du Weiguo's question hit the point directly, and Tang Kaixuan's eyes showed a hint of recognition.
"Yes, there are indeed two other routes, both of which can start from Laojingou and reach Linjiang County in a roundabout way."
When he said this, Director Tang paused slightly, raised his eyebrows slightly, and glanced at Du Weiguo.
Firstly, he was involved in the injury, which caused some pain. Secondly, it was somewhat of a test of comparison. Du Weiguo smiled bitterly and shook his head:
"Tang Chu, let me do a thorough analysis. Judging from the map, starting from Laojingou, apart from this straight-line shortest path, we can only take detours from the east and west directions.
If you want to take a detour from the west, you must pass through Baishan City. This route is high in mountains and densely forested, and the journey is long. As long as their minds are in their right minds, they will naturally not fall into a trap and can ignore it."
When Du Weiguo said this, the recognition in Tang Kaixuan's eyes couldn't help but become stronger. Gu Tianping also nodded gently. This Director Du has something, at least he is not a drunkard.
Du Weiguo's tone was very calm:
"If we take a circuitous route eastward, we will inevitably have to go through Fenfang Valley, Erdaogou, and Wangjiaying, which will make the distance more than twice as long.
Moreover, there are many villages they pass through, which are densely populated, and their goals are obvious. Even if they act separately, they will be easily exposed. Under normal circumstances, they would not choose this route."
When he said this, Tang Kaixuan nodded gently, and his contempt gradually disappeared. The judgment of Du Chu from Sijiu City was basically the same as his.
Not bad. It is extremely rare for such a young person to make such an accurate judgment in such a short period of time.
At this time, Du Weiguo's conversation changed:
"However, if they plan the route and time in advance, stay out at night, and only rush through villages and towns at night, they can probably avoid inspections and surveillance reports from local villagers."
In this day and age, in this season, it is really cold in the Northeast. If you go out to urinate at night, it will turn into ice before you even hit the ground.
Rural houses are low, open, and extremely cold. When it gets dark, the doors and windows of every household are closed, and the whole family huddles on the heated kang to keep warm. No one goes out at all.
Therefore, if these guys really calculated their time precisely as Du Weiguo said, and traveled at night to cross villages and towns, they would really have smooth sailing.
Tang Kaixuan nodded slightly, and the look of recognition in his eyes became deeper. Obviously, Du Weiguo performed quite well in this test, at least he passed his level.
However, Du Weiguo did not finish speaking. He stared at the map and pondered for a moment:
"Tang Chu, you are very thorough and impeccable in your work. I believe that you have also made corresponding arrangements for the two circuitous routes from east to west.
However, they still have a possibility and a choice, have you ever thought about it?"
"Oh? Director Du, please tell me quickly!"
Tang Kaixuan's face became solemn and his brows were furrowed. Of course, it was not because of Du Weiguo's different opinions, but simply because of work.
Once something went wrong in his arrangement, causing these people to successfully leave the country and the national treasure to be lost, then he would be a sinner for the ages.
This is a serious matter, and a person like him who is dedicated to public service will never accept it, and he will not be able to escape the blame even if he dies!
At this time, Du Weiguo gently pointed at Linjiang County on the map with his finger, his tone still calm and calm:
"Tang Chu, all our current assumptions are based on them crossing the border from Linjiang County, because this is the closest crossing point.
But if they abandon Linjiang County, and instead make a detour to a larger area and a greater distance to the east, and choose other farther locations to cross the border, will all our arrangements be in vain? "
Upon hearing this, Tang Kaixuan's face suddenly sank, and his tone trembled:
"No, no, they would sacrifice the near for the far, and take long detours. They are surrounded by vast snow-capped mountains and the roads are rugged. In this season, the wind and snow are raging, and when the white-haired wind blows, it is almost a narrow escape!"
Du Weiguo shook his head gently and said calmly:
"It's hard to say, Tang Chu. If I were the other party, I would definitely not choose to cross the border by the river. I would choose a larger detour. Although it is extremely difficult and dangerous, it may even lead to a narrow escape from death, as you said.
But if they get into your pocket, they will be ambushed from all sides, and even more likely to die, they are not ordinary people, and they will probably do extraordinary things."
As soon as these words came out, Tang Kaixuan's expression changed immediately. As the saying goes, a wise man will make a mistake after thinking a lot, but he still underestimated his opponent too much.
He used the behavioral logic of normal people to infer, but these guys were not ordinary people at all, but a group of well-trained elites who could do things that ordinary people could never accomplish.
Cold sweat broke out on Tang Kaixuan's forehead, his mouth was dry, and his eyes became a little wandering. Once Du Weiguo's hypothesis came true.
Then all his previous arrangements, the so-called ambush on all sides, turned into the Marshall Plan and a complete joke.
His personal honor and disgrace is a small matter, but once the national treasure is lost, it will be a huge matter.
