Our motorcade was stopped by two public security officers when it passed a village.
"Deputy Director!" Before we got out of the car, a policeman reported to us by the car window: "The car hijacked by the murderer was found. This time he did not push the car into the river or hide it.
You sold the car to someone else!"
"Ugh!"
Deputy Director Xie and I pushed open the car door without saying a word and walked out. Sure enough, we saw a dilapidated tricycle parked on the side of the road. A villager was nervously explaining to two policemen: "Comrade Public Security, I really don't know."
This car was stolen and I bought it for two hundred yuan..."
Looking at this situation, it goes without saying what is going on: the villagers are greedy for petty gains and have a weak legal awareness. When they saw that this tricycle only cost 200 yuan, they couldn't help but buy it. You have to know that in this era, a bicycle
It costs more than 100 yuan, and you can buy a tricycle with more than 200 yuan, which is pie in the sky.
"Deputy Director!" The policeman who was beside us reported to us: "As far as we know, after Zhao Xiaoping sold the tricycle, he continued walking south along the road. Someone saw him turning into the mountain road after two kilometers.
Got it!"
"Yeah!" Deputy Director Xie spread out the map on the front of the jeep without saying anything else. After looking at it for a while, he sighed: "This guy really knows how to choose a place!"
Zhang Yong and I moved forward curiously, and Deputy Director Xie pointed to the map and explained: "Look, the mountain road two kilometers away from here is densely forested, densely covered with grass, and has many branches. There are roads leading to all directions, but now we only have a few
Two hundred people..."
After looking at the map carefully, it turns out that as Deputy Director Xie said, there are at least seven or eight branches on the mountain road. And we don’t know which road Zhao Xiaoping took. If we really want to pursue him, we will undoubtedly have to chase him.
The troops spread out.
"What do you think?" I asked Zhang Yong beside me.
The reason why I ask this is because the purpose of our mission is to discover the problems and loopholes of the armed police company. For this reason, it is best for me not to interfere with the cooperation between Zhang Yong and Deputy Director Xie
too much.
After thinking about it, Zhang Yong replied: "It's not impossible to track. After all, we have helicopters. We can do it from both sides. On the one hand, we take the squad as a unit. The second squad is responsible for searching a mountain road, that is, along the murderer's path."
On the other hand, we should use the maneuverability of the helicopter to get ahead of the criminals and set up ambushes on both sides of the mountain road. In this way, we will block the front and pursue them. Unless the criminals hide in the dense forest, it will be difficult to get wings.
fly!"
"Yeah!" I couldn't help but nodded after hearing this. The training for the armed police company during this period was not in vain. At least Zhang Yong already had the awareness to use helicopters.
"What a good idea!" Deputy Director Xie looked at his watch and said, "It's not too late. The murderer has been running for more than an hour now. It will be dark in two hours, so let's take action immediately! In order to facilitate tracking and
Search. I’ll call in some more police dogs!”
However, just when Deputy Director Xie and Zhang Yong were about to have a big fight, I shook my head and smiled without saying a word.
"Captain Yang!" Seeing this, Deputy Director Xie and Zhang Yong couldn't help but be confused.
"Don't act in a hurry yet." I said, "Have you ever thought about other possibilities?"
"Other possibilities?"
I nodded and said: "The criminal's actions this time are a bit weird. It looks exactly the same as the last time, but in fact it is very different. For example, why did he dare to use the same method a second time? Another example is the last time he
Is it at night but this time in the daytime? And why did he choose to sell the tricycle instead of sinking it underwater or hiding it?"
"Maybe..." Deputy Director Xie replied: "It was because the criminal was short of money and had no choice but to do this!"
"This is indeed a possibility!" I said: "But on the one hand, the murderer has a gun in his hand. If he wants to get money, it will not be too easy after he escapes from our search range. On the other hand, the murderer
The act of selling the car, and walking into the mountain road in broad daylight, as if he was afraid that we would not know his movements!"
"The battalion commander means...the criminal is making diversions to divert our attention?" Deputy Director Xie quickly understood.
"That's right!" I said: "In addition, the criminal also cleverly used a psychological offensive, that is, it happens to be only about two hours before dark time, which makes us eager to go into the mountains to search, because once it gets dark, there will be people in the mountains.
It greatly increases the difficulty of searching.”
Hearing this, Deputy Director Xie couldn't help but show a trace of embarrassment on his face: "That's what I thought, and I almost fell into his trap!"
"This Zhao Xiaoping is not simple!" I said: "If I guess all these correctly, he will not only be able to do reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance, but also know how to use other people's psychology. This is not like an ordinary soldier.
People can do it!"
"Captain Yang!" Wang Xiaojian added at this time: "It is said that this Zhao Xiaoping has dealt with Vietnamese agents on the battlefield!"
"Oh, no wonder!" After hearing this, I couldn't help but suddenly realized that he was someone who had dealt with Vietnamese army agents. No wonder he had such qualities.
What makes me feel a little sad is that a hero like him who fought against the Vietnamese on the battlefield would turn his gun on the people he once defended.
But when I think about it, I don’t think it’s surprising. Sometimes you get used to killing people on the battlefield, and when you return to a peaceful society, you don’t have any psychological counseling or mutual aid like Americans do. In addition, you have the pressure of life and work. Then,
It seems normal to habitually use guns to solve problems. Sometimes they don't even feel that they have violated the law... They have seen this kind of scene a lot on the battlefield. They don't realize that the battlefield and society are two different things.
A completely different place.
Perhaps, this is another form of war energy.
"What the battalion commander means is..." Zhang Yong interrupted: "Didn't the murderer take the mountain road?"
"It's very possible!" I said, "Firstly, it's because the murderer took the mountain road last time, and this time he is likely to do the opposite. Secondly, he seems to be deliberately misleading us into the mountain.
On the contrary, it means that he did not enter the mountain."
"So!" After thinking about it, I pointed to the map and said, "My idea is... the murderer probably walked into the mountains openly after selling the car in the village, but then sneaked out of the mountains shortly after entering.
Come back, take transportation on the highway and slip away under our noses!"
"Damn it!" Deputy Director Xie couldn't help but cursed: "This guy is really cunning. When Commander Yang said this... the more he said it, the more he looked like him!"
"That is to say." I finally concluded: "The focus of our interception should not be the mountain road, but the highway!"
As I said that, I pointed to the road on the map and said: "The criminal has been fleeing for more than an hour. If you count the time he entered the mountain to set up the suspicion, plus the time he left the mountain waiting for the bus, it is very likely that the criminal has not left at this time.
It’s far away. It would be troublesome if he were allowed to enter the next town. There are three roads leading to three different places. So you have to move quickly. The best interception point is here..."
As I said that, I pointed to a highway bridge on the map and said: "There are gullies on both sides of the highway bridge. If we deploy our troops on both sides of the highway bridge, once the criminal's vehicle drives onto the highway bridge, it means that he has no way to go."
You can escape! Act quickly, take a helicopter immediately and seize the highway bridge to set up a point before the criminal passes!"
"Yes!" Zhang Yong responded and contacted the helicopter without saying a word.
Soon the helicopter lowered the rope ladder. Zhang Yong climbed up with a dozen soldiers, and then the helicopter flew straight towards the highway bridge with a "whoosh" sound.
"Captain Yang!" When we got into the jeep again and moved forward, Deputy Director Xie couldn't help but sigh: "Now I finally understand why we organized more than 80,000 people and failed to arrest the murderer last time. Now look
It’s not just a matter of command and organization, it’s that we let this murderer play around!”
"Deputy Director Xie, don't take it too seriously!" I said, "You are people living in a peaceful world. Of course you will not understand how cruel the battlefield is and how many conspiracies there are. The murderer has served as a soldier and fought in the war.
Having dealt with insidious Vietnamese agents, it’s not surprising that you have such qualities!”
"Yes, yes!" Deputy Director Xie nodded hurriedly: "You are also people who came down from the battlefield, or you can understand what the other person is thinking. Alas, look at me... I thought you were the same at first.
That is to say, fighting the war, solving crimes and the like are the business of our police. I didn’t expect that if it weren’t for you, I would have let that guy be tricked into searching the mountains again!”
After hearing this, I just felt helpless. At this time, I vaguely realized that in this era, it is not just the military that needs reform, nor is it just the establishment of the armed police force, maybe the public security force as well.
The reason is very simple. Most of the public security forces in this era are from the ten-year era, and their methods of handling cases and investigation methods are also the same old methods from the ten years.
There is nothing wrong with this, as the people have not changed. Most of the time, the public security forces focus on public security and deal with the people.
However, a war completely broke this relative balance. This war was the self-defense counterattack against Vietnam in 1979.
The impact of this war on the army is obvious to all. It can be said that it was this war that exposed many problems of the army, so the army began to reform its equipment, tactics and other aspects. According to our words, it is the establishment of a modern army.
On the other hand, during the reform process, a large number of soldiers with military knowledge were laid off, which caused the overall military knowledge of the people to rise linearly. The military knowledge mentioned here is not only firearms knowledge, but also reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance.
knowledge, so the Public Security Bureau, which was still in the same state as before, was a little out of control.
I think this is also one of the reasons why the crime rate has skyrocketed in recent years. That is, the tactics of the public security department are outdated and the detection rate is low. (To be continued...)
